Great Faith Bio--Jackie Pullinger
Jackie Pullinger was destined for missionary greatness from a very young age. As a British Protestant citizen growing up in the wake of World War II, she went to church often at a young age, and decided upon a missionary life before she even knew the meaning of the word. Despite obtaining a degree for the oboe at the Royal College of Music, she found no satisfaction in her studies. She began applying for missionary positions in every way she knew how: through local churches, charities, even the Hong Kong government. But every attempt she made was fruitless. However, acting upon the advice of a vicar at her church, she gathered all her money and set out on a boat to Hong Kong in 1966, with no plan and only a one-way ticket. There was no going back.
Once she had gotten to Hong Kong, she barely passed immigration, but was eventually allowed into the city. As a 22-year-old with no language skills and little formal missionary training, she must have been terrified. But despite this, she cast aside her personal feelings and placed her trust in God. She acquired a job in the infamous Walled City as a music teacher in a mission-run school. At the time, the Walled City was a hotbed for the triads and gangs, and ran rampant with crime. It was deemed untouchable by both the Chinese and British government. But Jackie did not let this faze her: she began approaching people in the city, telling them of Jesus' love and salvation. Later, she remarked that "I loved this dark place. I hated what was happening in it but I wanted to be nowhere else. It was almost as if I could already see another city in its place and that city was ablaze with light." She was a beacon of the gospel in an area where Christianity was practically unheard of; such was the degree of crime that existed in the city. However, she met little success with this strategy, as most people would simply give her condescending looks or responses. Other opposition came in the form of the local churches and triads: the churches believed that the Walled City and its inhabitants were too far gone to save, while the triads did not want anything distracting their members from a life of crime.
Her first success came when she started a youth group. At first, many of the "Christians" who turned up were not real believers. They sought money and favors from someone they perceived to be a rich white woman. But eventually, the boys in her youth group began to find that Christianity was real. Most of the young men who were in the group were addicts to some drug, whether it was heroin or opium or something else. "I could walk down the street and see a hundred people chasing the dragon [using drugs]. You had to climb over their legs. I wanted something real to offer them… not just treatment in a center." As well as that, most were undergoing the initiation rituals for the triads, which meant that they dealt in organized crime. They also rejected most components of Christianity: when Jackie wanted to pray, most would exit the room and catcall until the prayer was over. However, Jackie stuck with her plan, and her constant prayer helped reform many of the boys into real Christians.
Jesus' positive influence in her ministry began to show itself. Although Jackie had never asked for money from anyone, she began receiving monthly payments from the government, enough for her to quit her school job and concentrate on missionary work full-time. She found that Christianity changed the boys she worked with: they were able to reject drugs without major withdrawals, although the process was smoother for some than for others. Even the triad bosses began to respect the work that she had done: when vandals destroyed her youth club, a triad boss sent guards to protect the club. Even more strangely, a triad leader came to her and asked her to help his men get off drugs. But Jackie flatly refused, saying that she helped the men follow Jesus to reject the narcotics, and leave behind organized crime. The triad leader did not seem to mind and continued to support her, and renounced all claim on the boys who had become Christians.
Jackie Pullinger is a true Gospel missionary and a Christian role model in every sense of the phrase. She entered a lawless and crime-ridden city with nothing but her faith and her will, and today is the founder of St. Stephen's Society, which is a multinational organization that helps youths with drug addictions. She continues her missionary work today and her work has been felt in the countless families and men she has saved from drug addiction. I feel that this is missionary work stripped down to the bare bones: God inspiring and pushing a young woman to work for Him in a place where Christianity did not exist, and creating a beautiful result. Jackie once said, " I had no idea how to bring this about but with "visionary zeal" imagined introducing the Walled City people to the one who could change it all: Jesus." It is apparent that she succeeded.

Obviously I don't want to be getting this error but rather just to have the app work... I tried switching my app over to postgresql for deployment but it was developed in sqlite. I have not taken any of the migrations or database files into production, I made sure to do a fresh migrations.

A: It is beacause version mismatch of django on your localhost and server.
Upgrade your django version on the server (digital ocean droplet) to match with the one you were developing in localhost.
By default they provide django-1.6 in One-Click-Install. You need to upgrade then everything will work fine.

pip install --upgrade django

In order to ensure fit and security, all replacement keys come with new lock cores.
Misplace the keys to your current StowAway lock? No problem. We've got you covered with a brand new StowAway Replacement Lock Key Core and set of matching keys. No matter where your travels take you, keeping your gear safe and secure with interchangeable lock core replacements gives you the peace of mind you need to enjoy every minute.
The instruction were excellent. I was able to replace the lock using the instructions and some common tools with no problem at all. Like the StowAway2 the lock core is well engineered and of excellent quality.
When we take our family of four (plus Australian Cattle Dog) on a camping trip, our StowAway gives us the extra space for camping kit that we need to make the interior of our car comfortable for all of us. It's swing-away feature gives us easy access to the back of the car while providing total access to everything we need at the campsite. Great idea, well executed and you don't have to be 7 feet tall to get to your gear.
I received my lock and kek for my box very promptly. I paid $1 for the lock and key. The loss of my key would have been very expensive had I gone to a locksmith to make another key. The puchase of my Stowaway 2 has proven to be one of my better investments. It is so nice to deal with a company that really takes care of its customers.
The replacement key purchase process was very simple and straightforward and it was a bonus that shipping for the keys was free. The only issue that I had was initially getting the keys to work (without breaking) but I was able to get past that and now they work without any issues. I would definitely purchase other replacement items in the future.

WELCOME TO BLEPHAROSPASM AUSTRALIA
Do you have trouble with excessive blinking or feel you are unable to keep your eyes open?
Do you have to hold your eyes open sometimes? Do you have dry and gritty eyes?
Because it's rare and not widely known it's often misdiagnosed.
At this stage we don't really know what triggers it in spite of many clinical studies.
Find out how to obtain a diagnosis, what treatment options are available and where you will find support.
Listen to how our Chairman John Yeudall found out he had Benign Essential Blepharospasm (BEB) and how he lives with the condition:
https://beb.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Blepharospasm-an-eye-neurological-movement-disorder.mp3
BENIGN ESSENTIAL BLEPHAROSPASM ( or BEB) is a focal dystonia—a neurological movement disorder involving involuntary and sustained contractions of the muscles around the eyes. The term essential indicates that the cause is unknown, but fatigue, stress, or an irritant are possible contributing factors. Blepharospasm may appear as frequent blinking, squinting of both eyes, spasms of eyelid closure, or simply difficulty in keeping the eyes open. Blepharospasm is often misdiagnosed because of lack of awareness of the condition. Too often it may be initially diagnosed erroneously and effective treatment delayed.
Optometrists are often the first point of contact for someone suffering with eye issues – listen to Dr Darrell Baker, President of Optometry Australia, discussing Blepharospasm on 6PR Millsy at Midday
https://www.beb.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Extract-All-eyes-are-on-Dr-Darrell-Baker-with-the-latest-optometry-advise-2.mp3
Botulinum toxin injections, pharmacotherapy, surgical intervention, patient education and membership in various support groups, constitute the best conventional treatments for a patient with benign essential blepharospasm (BEB).
The main form of treatment is botulinum toxin injections into the muscles around and near the eyes. The exact location of the injections sites can vary from person to person which is why it may take some time for your doctor to establish the best sites for you. Currently there are three different "brands" of botulinum toxin: Botox from Allergan, Dysport from Ipsen and Xeomin from Merz.
Check to see if there is a support group or support person in your State.

Since back acne is not only hard to treat but also hard to reach, AcnEase will show visible improvement after 4-6 weeks. Some patients may have to use AcnEase for up to three months. In addition to AcnEase, patients should wash the area gently with a mild cleanser and let dry. Some topical and not harsh disinfectant can also be used sparingly and on a small surface. Do not rub it over the entire back. Apply moisturizer if needed. One more thing to mention when talking about back acne is back packs. Heavy back packs rub on the upper shoulders/back and can cause irritation. As annoying as it sounds, you might want to try a hand-held bag for the first few weeks of your back acne regimen. Once you are clear, try using a back pack again.
If you break out, you'll know to go back to a hand held bag. Over-the-counter topical and oral medications may further help treat acne. Cleansers containing 2 percent salicylic acid and spot treatments with benzoyl peroxide will help dry excess oil. Apply them to clean skin and cover the entire affected area. Continue using, even if your breakouts appear to have disappeared. If you find it difficult to reach your back, you may want to go to a spa for a back facial. You can also get similar results at home with a loofah sponge or back brush and specialized acne body wash made with salicylic and glycolic acid. Back acne, sometimes conveniently called bacne, is one of the most inconvenient things to suffer from. And if you have facial acne, you are more prone to have back acne too. When your back's overactive oil glands (sebaceous glands) get clogged by excessive dead skin cells or sebum (oil), it gives rise to bacteria that cause acne on your back. If you have acne on your face, there is high chance that your back skin is very thick and sebaceous glands there produce more sebum leading to the problem of bacne.
They are not only painful and irritating posing problems for you to wear clothes and carry backpacks but will also leave ugly back acne scars. That's why, it's better to treat them as soon as possible so that these bacne don't get enough time to sit deeply into your skin and cause acne scars on your back. While you can also get rid of back acne scars with home remedies, it seems intelligent to stop the proliferation of back acne itself so that you need not take extra pain to cure bacne scars too! Here are some really effective home remedies to get rid of back acne.
There are effective treatments around for those that suffer from back acne. You can buy various over-the-counter products which help to control mild flare-ups. These treatments contain ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, resorcinol, salicylic acid, and sulphur. More importantly, you should betamethasone cream 0.12% over the counter be careful to always look after your skin. Make sure you wash it carefully with a gentle cleanser, shower after exercising and keep your hair clean. Also, avoid picking at your acne and don't expose it to the sun for prolonged periods. If you are still having problems then you should consult a dermatologist.
The specialist will be able to examine your acne and prescribe you any medication should you need it. Hormones are what kick off overactive sebaceous (oil) glands. That's why you got pimples at 13 when you started your period. It's why your son's face erupted in acne when he hit puberty. And it's why your acne flares up right before your period. It's also why women post-menopause don't suffer from acne: those hormones have gone bye-bye (no more pimples are definitely something to look forward to post-50!) Life today is very different than it was 50 or 70 or even 100 years ago. We are filling our bodies with hormone-enriched dairy and meat products.
The stress that comes with modern life (hello trying to work, raise a family and keep up with Facebook) can also mess with our hormones. Acne medications work by reducing oil production, speeding up skin cell turnover, fighting bacterial infection or reducing inflammation — which helps prevent scarring. With most prescription acne drugs, you may not see results for four to eight weeks, and your skin may get worse before it gets better. It can take many months or years for your acne to clear up completely. The drug your doctor recommends depends on the type and severity of your acne. It might be something you apply to your skin (topical medication) or take by mouth (oral medication). Often, drugs are used in combination.
Pregnant women will not be able to use oral prescription medications for acne. Body acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged by a combination of dead skin cells and the skin's naturally occurring oils, or sebum. Hair follicles are connected to sebaceous glands, which normally excrete oil at the surface of the follicle to lubricate the hair and skin. When the body overproduces sebum, it can cause these follicles to become clogged. We see the results of these plugged hair follicles as pimples, white heads, black heads, cysts, and more serious lesions.

Subash Ghai and Aneez Bazmee Accused of Casting Couch
Posted by admin on Oct 30th, 2011 | 0 comments
Israel based model and once upon a time aspirant in Bollywood, Rina Golan has accused prominent personalities of indulging in casting couch, in her book 'Dear Mr. Bollywood-How I fell in Love with India, Bollywood and Shah Rukh Khan'. Prominently mentioned are directors and producers like Subash Ghai, Aneez Bazmee, renowned Bhajan singer Anoop Jalota and former physiotherapist of the Indian cricket team, Dr Ali Irani.
"The book is about my journey in Bollywood and the casting couch has been the most important part of it. There is nothing negative about anyone but the phenomenon is very much a reality and people should know about it. I have just honestly penned my experiences with the people I met in Mumbai while exploring options to make an entry into the film industry," says Rina. The lady says that the main objective of her book is not expose the dark side of Bollywood but just to offer her tribute to Bollywood, her journey in the B-Town and her tremendous dedication to Shah Rukh Khan.
"The book is an open letter to Shah Rukh Khan and I have written about my admiration for him. I have expressed my love for the industry. Everything else that I have mentioned are realities that had to be narrated because I wanted to present an honest description of Bollywood," Rina said. She is surprised that people act shocked in Bollywood, whenever the term casting couch is mentioned. "I wonder why people get shocked at the mention of casting couch. I have witnessed numerous young girls and boys getting exploited," she said.
Without beating around the bush, Rina recalls how Subash Ghai had tried to seduce her, and tried to take her to his bedroom. Here is an excerpt of the book revealing how Subash Ghai had tried to preposition her. "I want you to trust me and surrender to me completely. I will take you around with me everywhere and you will see how your life will change," he said.
She then talks about how Aneez Bazmee proposed her and asked her out to dinner. He said, "We would have some fun later" when she had approached him for a role in Thank You. She also said that Anoop Jalota had once told her that he 'would love to cheat on his wife'. Both Bazmee and Jalot have denied the allegations and Ghai is yet to offer his stand. But Rina sticks to her claim. She says, "It is my story and I have honestly revealed it. If this means there will be no place for me in Bollywood, so be it. It is neither a publicity gimmick nor a ploy for increased sales of my book. People who love Bollywood will surely read it," she said.

Twitter: will longer tweets spoil the platform?
January 7, 2016 onlyconnect 2 Comments
Twitter is a strange thing. Founded in 2006, it was initially promoted as a way of communicating with friends about what you are doing right now. It did not appeal to me. Who wants to know all that trivia? Who wants to publish it? Lots of people now on Facebook, apparently. But I digress. I joined Twitter eventually and discovered its two key features, first brevity, and second the ability to choose who you follow and not see tweets from anyone else. It is ideal for broadcasting or consuming news and comment, and that is how I use it. I particularly value it because it is not Google, and provides a way of making things known that is independent of Google's all-powerful search algorithms.
Now CEO Jack Dorsey has tweeted about the lifting the 140 character limit:
At its core Twitter is public messaging. A simple way to say something, to anyone, that everyone in the world can see instantly.
We didn't start Twitter with a 140 character restriction. We added that early on to fit into a single SMS message (160 characters).
It's become a beautiful constraint, and I love it! It inspires creativity and brevity. And a sense of speed. We will never lose that feeling.
We've spent a lot of time observing what people are doing on Twitter, and we see them taking screenshots of text and tweeting it.
Instead, what if that text…was actually text? Text that could be searched. Text that could be highlighted. That's more utility and power.
What makes Twitter, Twitter is its fast, public, live conversational nature. We will always work to strengthen that. For every person around the world, in every language!
And by focusing on conversation and messaging, the majority Of tweets will always be short and sweet and conversational!
We're not going to be shy about building more utility and power into Twitter for people. As long as it's consistent with what people want to do, we're going to explore it.
And as I said at #flight, if we decide to ship what we explore, we're telling developers well in advance, so they can prepare accordingly.
(Also: I love tweetstorms! Those won't go away.)
Of course he really tweeted the above as an image:
Will this wreck Twitter? What he has in mind, I suspect, is that tweets become expandable, so you can tweet as much as you like but by default only 140 characters, or a heading of your choice, appears in the feed. In fact this often happens already, except that the link is to an external site, rather than to Twitter.
Twitter's problem has always been how to monetize the service. The original concept was almost useless for this, until Twitter added "promoted tweets", which you see whether or not you want them. In 2011 Twitter added images, making it a richer platform for advertisers, and providing an easy way to bypass the character limit. Vine videos, other video acquisitions (SnappyTV in 2014, Perisccope in March 2015) mean that more video appears on Twitter. Brevity is still a feature of Twitter, but much undermined, and likely to diminish further.
The removal of the character limit will enable Twitter to host more content itself, rather than being a place where people post links to other sites. This will keep users on Twitter (or in its app) for longer, which means more opportunities to advertise.
If these steps make Twitter worse for users like myself though, we might use the site less, which is not good for advertising income.
At this point I am resigned to Twitter getting worse, as it has done for the last few years. Nevertheless, I will carry on using it until something else appears which is better. I see little sign of that, so Twitter still has me for the moment.
I also see that Twitter has to be viable in order to thrive. Making customers fee-paying does not work, so advertising has to be the solution.

I agree with you, I like twitter because I can post something in mind at a glance. I also see less spam because of the character limit. If I were twitter I wont change a thing. But I guess it's about time for twitter to change. Let's hope for the best.
Alex Atkin UK says:
While I understand the idea that the limit forces you to be brief, it also forced people to abbreviate in a really annoying manner and became completely unmanageable with modern hash tag use.
The character limit stops me tagging things/people the way you are supposed to. So at the very least, tags should not count as part of the character limit.


If you are tired of rooting your plant and did into get much success do not worry because I know the solution. You need to use the best rooting hormone in order to make identical plant from the mother plant. It is essential to use cloning hormone in the process of propagation.
Use of Rooting Products is like a surety that you will get success in cloning plants.
If you want to keep a specific breed of the plant in your garden, cloning is the only solution. This is a process where you can make a duplicate plant by using the cuttings of the mother plant or main plant. This duplicate plant will have the same qualities as that of the parent plant.
Growers often do a clone to keep the beneficial plants for further benefits.
Cloning is just to maintain the supply of healthy young plants throughout the year. We also do cloning, once you have a plant which is highly productive, make the duplicate of that plant to make the next harvest season just as productive.
Most of the time people end with failed cloning this is due to many reasons like environmental conditions, no experience, wrong cut etc.
There is a solution to all these problems which is using a Rooting Compound. we have 98 % of success rate in cloning plants and this is all due to the Rooting Hormone.
Thanx to the makers of cloning hormones for such a great product which make us able to clone almost every type of plant successfully at any time.
In simple words, It is a substance available in gel or powder form to stimulate plant growth. Here you might think most of the plant cuttings will naturally produce new roots then why you need to spend money on the rooting gels, liquid, and powder.
Well, it is true that some plants automatically produce new roots when placing in clean water for some time but this not true in each case. There are some species of plants which need some external help to grow new roots and rooting compound help them to do so.
Actually, Cloning hormone gives you the surety that you will get success in cloning. Failed cloning is a very painful condition when you do not have mother plant in your garden anymore and your plant cutting does not produce roots and you need to throw the plant cutting out of your garden. This happens to us so many times when we were not aware of the rooting hormone.
There is a special type of plants that produce new roots naturally but after a very long time (several days or months). This situation slows down the production of the entire garden. To speed up the rooting process use the cloning gel or powder.
All plant rooting gels, powders, and liquids use a natural plant hormone called Auxins. IAA (indole acetic acid) is a hormone that every plant has naturally which help them to produce new roots.
In this review, we will tell you which bottle of hormone contains natural substance and which has all synthetic material. Both natural and synthetic hormones are equally effective.
They are available in three forms (a) LIQUID ROOTING (b) GEL FORM (c) POWDER FORM.
LIQUID FORM: The liquid form is available in two types The Concentrated and Ready-to-use liquid hormone.
The ready-to-use hormone is best for beginners and is also more convenient to use especially if you have no time for your garden or have no experience with cloning plants. It has everything in balanced form no need to mix it with anything. Just pour the right amount of it and you are good to go.
The most common mistake which people make while using liquid cloning hormone is, they dip the plant cutting directly into the bottle. This habit will contaminate the entire solution of cloning compound or spread disease in the garden.
The best way to use it, take out the desired amount of it in a separate container and then dip the cutting into it.
On the other hand, if you are using a concentrated form of it, this means you already know that you need to dilute it first. Concentrated liquid gives more control over the potency of the rooting mixture. Suppose you have many plant cuttings of different plants all of them need a different concentration of rooting mixture to grow. Here you can do two things first you can buy different ready to use liquid for every type of plant cutting or use concentrated liquid and customize it according to your need.
Some plants need more concentrated liquid than other for effective cloning. For example, softwood tissue plants need less concentrated liquid than the hard-woodier tissue plants. so, double check the type and requirement of your plant before using rooting gel or powder.
All concentrated liquids need refrigeration because they have a very short lifespan (the only downside).
GEL FORM: Rooting Gel is the most popular and widely used hormone for cloning. It has many benefits over the other available forms which are as follows.
The biggest benefit is gel form have the right amount of synthetic hormone which is suitable for every type of plant. A Very small amount of gel is required for cloning the plants as compared to the powder and liquid forms.
No need to dip directly into the container you can take out the gel with the finger and apply it at the bottom of plant cutting. Another advantage of gels is they cover the entire cut region and keep it covered. This process allows the hormone tissue to get easily absorbed to the plant cuttings. Gels are best to use in all cloning machines.
POWER FORM: Powder form rooting hormone products have years of shelf life if they kept dry in a safe place. Commercial Growers always prefer to use powder form over others. The biggest advantage according to us is the shelf life of powder.
They do not need to mix it with anything. All you need to do is take the cutting and dip it into the powder bottle, tapped it lightly to remove the excess of the material. After this place the cutting in your cloning machine. This is as simple as that.
EXTRA TIP: Before dipping the cut into the powder, we advise you to dip it into the water to make it slightly wet. In this way more, the powder will stick to the end and increases the chances of better rooting as fast as possible.
Using best rooting material is not enough for successful rooting there are many other factors which contribute to effective cloning. Environmental conditions are extremely important to keep in mind while doing all this process of making duplicate plant from the mother plant.
Cleanliness is another important factor for obtaining reliable cloning results. Sanitizing and sterilizing are the process which you need to use to clean every equipment which is used in cloning. Do the cleaning process after finishing the one batch or starting the new cloning batch.
Search for the healthy and vibrant donor plant in your garden for cloning because the clone will grow up same as like the mother plant.
To get 100% success in cloning make sure you choose the right parent plant and all equipment are well cleaned, make sure you are using effective rooting stimulator for guaranteed results.
How to use Rooting Hormone for successful cloning?
Which type of Plant Cutting is Best to Grow with Cloning Mixtures?
Cloning hormones are capable to grow any type of plant cutting like stem cutting, root cutting, leaf cutting. The thing which matters is your experience if you do not have experience read the complete article to gain enough knowledge about cloning plants or ask help from an experienced gardener.
Growing a plant from a cutting is requires lots of patience. Cutting s are fragile when they just get separate from the original plant.
Always remember to moist the soil after putting the plant cutting into the pot. Do not water the cutting just through some water to moist the soil not wet.
First of all, choose the healthy plant which you believe gives more production and you need more identical plants in your garden. Now take a clean knife and cut one of the healthy stems of the plant. Do not use scissors they will pinch the stem or give an improper cut. Take an 8 to 10 inches long stem, carefully remove all the leaves and cut the part of the stem which is above the node.
Moist the bottom part of the stem.
Take out the desired amount of cloning compound in a different container. Dip the bottom of the stem into it (one inch only). Use any hormone of your choice Gel, Powder or Liquid the procedure is the same for all of them.
Now place the cutting into the potting medium. Make a hole first into the pot so that the stem can adjust into the pot their comfortably. Tap the soil properly this will remove all the air around the cutting. Spray the water onto the stem and moist the soil.
NOTE: Plant cutting do not need direct sunlight but this does not mean you always put them in shade (little light is required for few hours).
Not all plants have stems, some only have a leaf. It is simple to make a clone from leafy plants. cut the closest leaf from the center of the plant. Dip the bottom part into the hormone and plant the leaf into the soilless mix.
Some plants which do not have a stem or have very small stem required to put some of the rooting hormones on the back side of the leaf and then slightly press the leaf so that the back side of the leaf where we use the hormone touches the soilless mix.
As the name suggests in this method of plant cloning, we use the roots of the parent plant. A small piece of the root of an original healthy plant is used to produce more identical plants. Uncover the root area (not all) and cut the 2 inches piece of strong roots and cover back the root area of an original plant.
Now dip the root into the rooting hormone and plant it into the growing medium. Normally Fall is the best time for cloning because by the spring you will have a healthy strong big plant.
Clones are the first choice of growers because this has so many positive feedbacks and every other grower is using it in the garden.
It is gel based cloning gel for plants and has thick consistency which has its own benefits. One of the main benefits of using this gel cloning for plants is the material (hormone) stick to the roots and seal the cutting edge of the plant cutting.
It has impressive shelf life which is more than 4 years. We are using this Clonex Gel to duplicate plants in our indoor garden. It is quite affordable and give good results if you know how to use it properly otherwise none of the product can give you results.
It has a full spectrum of mineral and trace elements that are highly needed by the new plants. the trace elements are the vitamin which present in very percentage. They provide protection to the new root tissues because they are delicate and easily get diseases.
Go to Amazon to check the positive feedbacks of various customers. The users are happy and recommend this product to new and experienced growers to Make your garden equally effective in all weather conditions. use this cloning gel and grow healthy and productive plants as much as you want.
Now, this is the most powerful liquid rooting concentrate in the market and is widely used for years. This is the latest and advanced formula (manufacturer make some positive changes in their formula). It contains two hormones for effective rooting which are NAA and IBA.
The formula is alcohol based which is a good thing because the alcohol helps cuttings to fully absorbed the hormone which results in 100% success in cloning. Alcohol in the formula also acts as a disinfectant it makes your cuttings free of bacteria.
The only disadvantage of alcohol is it burned some softwood plants but the manufacturer says to dilute it by mixing it with water before using on softwood plants. there are many warnings printed on the label read them carefully to avoid in an accident. Rooting elements are not safe for humans and animals so keep it away from the reach of children.
It is clearly mentioned on the bottle that if you do not use the diluted mixture within 10 hours than you have to through it out. after 10 hours the mixture became ineffective means no use.
To make an effective diluted mixture mix the 20 drops of this concentrated liquid into the 60 drops of water this way you can have the best form of diluted cloning liquid. This diluted mixture can be used for any plant including softwood.

At Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches, we recognize the toll that substance abuse takes on loved ones and offer a variety of intervention programs in Palm Beach to help repair families and guide addicted individuals into the necessary treatment. Addiction can be seen as a family disease, meaning that the entire family needs time to heal and come together to make amends. Intervention programs can be the key factor in getting a substance abuser to recognize that they have a problem and agree to commit to professional treatment. Because so many substance abusers who need treatment go untreated, the critical role played by interventions cannot be underestimated. Having people who love and care for you express their concerns can be an eye-opening experience for those who may be in denial about their substance abuse problem.
At the same time, interventions should always be professionally planned, supervised, and coordinated. Without professional guidance, an intervention can quickly go wrong, resulting in a subject who becomes defensive, possibly violent, and increasingly resistant to the idea of seeking treatment. This must be prepared in advance so that you know exactly how to handle the situation if this occurs. This is the worst-case outcome, as it makes all of the participants lose faith in the process and can alienate the subject of the intervention from pursuing treatment even at a later date. Professional interventionists, such as those at Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches, can ensure that the intervention goes as smoothly as possible, ensuring the best chance of a positive outcome from everyone involved. The goal is to help loved ones realize the damage that has been done and provide them with treatment options that will best fit their needs.
In addition to our traditional intervention services in Palm Beach, we are one of the few organizations to offer specialized treatment for all different demographics and understand the psychology and behavioral aspects of chemical dependency among people. There are individuals who often feel they can "power through" any obstacle without the help of others, making them particularly resistant to the idea that they have a problem that requires professional help. An intervention must be designed with this reality in mind and executed in a way that does not challenge the ego or self-image of the person in counterproductive ways. The professional interventionists at Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches have the skills and experience to implement a successful intervention in a way that is sensitive to all of the unique aspects of each intervention.
An intervention should be handled with thorough preparation and care. If you feel that your loved one needs help understanding their substance abuse issue, it may be time to stage a meeting. Contact Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches today to learn more about how we can help guide you and your loved ones through the recovery journey.

What the Extended Producer Responsibility Act Means for the Philippines
The Extended Producer Responsibility Act of 2022 is the latest and strongest attempt by the Philippines to curb plastic pollution. For years, the country has had to deal with high volumes of plastic waste. In fact, a World Bank report estimated that the Philippines produces approximately 2.7 million tons of plastics each year. About 20 percent of these materials make their way to the ocean.
Through the new law, the government hopes to reduce the number of plastics that end up in the environment. It enlists the help of large enterprises by making them more responsible for their own wastes. This addresses the issue of plastic packaging waste directly through the source.
What is the EPR Act and how can it help solve the long-time problem of plastic waste in the Philippines? What responsibilities do businesses need to meet in order to adhere to the new law?
The Extended Producer Responsibility Act (EPRA)
The Philippines is one of the leading producers and users of plastics in the world, generating an estimated 2.7 million tons annually.
The Extended Producer Responsibility Act is a law that requires large companies to manage their own plastic packaging waste. Also known as Republic Act No. 11898, the legislation lapsed into law on 23 July 2022.
Under the EPRA, enterprises with over P1 billion worth of total assets must recover a specific portion of their wastes. Failure to do so would land them a hefty fine from the Philippine government.
The new law is based on Extended Producer Responsibility, a concept first introduced by Swedish academic Thomas Lindhqvist in 1990. Lindhqvist outlined an environmental protection strategy where manufacturers take on the responsibility for the entire life cycle of their products. This includes the take-back, recycling, and final disposal of such products.
EPR programs around the world
Many other countries have already developed EPR schemes that are designed to meet the unique challenges of their economies.
In North America, the United States and Canada have implemented the Product Stewardship Program. The initiative encourages manufacturers to re-design their products, change their marketing methods, and adopt innovative collect and recycling programs.
In Asia, Japan and South Korea were the first countries to adopt Extended Producer Responsibility frameworks. South Korean manufacturers and importers are required to pay an Advance Disposal Fee for products that are difficult to recycle.
The Philippine's EPR Framework
Filipinos' heavy reliance on the 'sachet economy' has contributed to the high volume of plastic waste in the country.
The EPR Act framework aims to reduce the number of materials and wastes that end up in landfills. It tasks companies with finding new purposes for their products, whether through reuse or recycling. Those that can no longer be repurpose should be allowed to biodegrade without impacting the environment.
The law eschews the traditional 'tingi-tingi' system that is prevalent in the Philippines. It's a common practice where manufacturers sell their products individually in disposable packaging. The system offers many cash-strapped Filipinos a more affordable and convenient way to buy basic goods. However, it leads to more single-use plastics to be produced and end up in landfills.
In place of the tingi-tingi system, the EPRA promotes the creation of product refilling systems for retailers. It also encourages product makers to add proper disposal labels to their offerings. This would help educate consumers on how they can dispose of the product after use. It also allows companies to retrieve the items that they made.
Types of wastes are covered by the EPR law
Food and beverage containers are some of the most common forms of plastic packaging identified for recovery.
The Philippine's EPR Act identifies plastic waste as the recovery requirement for enterprises. This means that any packaging made from the synthetic material should be collected and properly handled by manufacturers.
Some of the most common forms of plastic packaging include:
Food and beverage containers
Lids and caps
Personal care/cosmetic product containers
Plastic forks and spoons
Single/multi-layered plastics
How enterprises can recover their plastic wastes
There are several ways that companies can recover their plastic packaging wastes more responsibly, according to the EPRA. These include:
Buy back materials or wastes directly from consumers
Establish hubs where materials or wastes can be dropped off and collected after use
Conduct clean-up drives to remove wastes from areas such as public roads and coastal areas
Create waste management facilities such as recycling, composting, and thermal treatment centres
Target recovery rates
For large enterprises to adhere to the EPRA, they need to meet specific recovery rates in their waste management programs. These targets should be achieved within the timeframe outlined by the law.
Companies should:
Recover 20% of their plastic footprint by December 31, 2023
Recover 80% of their plastic footprint by December 31, 2028 and every year after
Implementation of the EPR law
The DENR will be the lead agency responsible for implementing the EPR Act guidelines through the National Solid Waste Commission.
The EPR Act requires companies to come up with their own EPR plan. They can also hire Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) to develop programs for them. A PRO is a group or firm that has extensive knowledge and experience in recycling, waste recovery, and reuse initiatives.
All EPR programs should be registered with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources via the National Solid Waste Commission (NSWC). This should be done within six months of the EPRA's effectivity.
During registration, companies need to include key information such as:
Person responsible for the organisation's EPR plan
Type of plastic packaging used
Verifiable volume or weight of plastic packaging brought into market within a certain period
Target volume or weight of plastic packaging for recovery
How packaging materials are labelled for recovery/disposal
The Philippine government tasks the NSWC with regulating the implementation of the EPR Act. A new sub-group, known as the National Ecology Center (NEC), was created to closely monitor how manufacturers follow the law. The office will be headed by the Environmental Management Bureau assistant director.
The NEC's mandate includes:
Keeping the registry of all EPR programs submitted by companies.
Monitoring the compliance of enterprises to their EPR programs.
Taking necessary action on public complaints against enterprises, producer responsibility organisations, and other related bodies.
Evaluating the volume or footprint of other generated wastes, for priority inclusion in the EPR scheme. This will be done within a year after the law takes effect.
Creating and maintaining a database of the recovery rate of all plastic wastes. It will also include a list of all processors and recycling companies, materials bought or recycled, and the price at which the materials were bought.
Providing training for staff on the proper management of solid waste.
Facilitating the creation and promotion of a "recycling market" consisting of organisations that will help make recycling easier for the public.
Rewards and penalties
To help promote the adoption of sustainable waste management, the EPR Act has outlined a reward system for relevant organisations. Manufacturers can apply for various tax incentives related to their EPR programs. These incentives will be made possible through the National Internal Revenue Code.
According to the law, all costs related to EPR activities will be considered "necessary expenses deductible from gross income". However, the implementation is still subject to substantiation requirements under the Philippine's tax code.
Meanwhile, large enterprises that fail to meet the necessary recovery rates will face heavy fines from the government. The penalty could be equivalent to twice the amount of recovery and diversion of the plastic footprint or its shortfall. It could also be based on the list of fines set by the EPR Act, whichever is higher.
1st offense – P5 million to P10 million
2nd offense – P10 million to P15 million
3rd offense – P15 million to P20 million
All cases of violations of the EPR Act will be handled by the DENR's Pollution Adjudication Board. The body will be responsible for hearing and judging of cases, as well as imposing fines on violators.
Finding a long-term solution
Green Antz helps local businesses recover their plastic packaging waste and transform them into eco-bricks.
While the concept behind the EPR Act is no longer new, not many organisations fully understand its purpose. There is still some misunderstanding as to what the Philippine government expects large enterprises to do. For the new law to work, this confusion needs to be addressed through the right dissemination of information.
At Arowana Impact Capital, we believe in the ideals of the Extended Producer Responsibility Act. The law provides a clear plan toward cutting plastic pollution in the country. One important aspect to note is how companies stand to benefit from the EPR Act financially. By offering reasonable tax incentives, businesses will be more inclined to take care of the plastic wastes that they produce.
The EPRA also highlights the role that producer responsibility organisations will play in the success of companies' programs. PROs provide businesses with the knowledge and technical know-how to recover plastic packaging wastes. This makes it possible for organisations to meet the law's strict guidelines.
Green Antz, the cornerstone investment of AIC, is an example of a PRO that helps enterprises collect their plastic wastes. The company operates several eco hubs where companies can drop off their plastic packaging. Green Antz transforms the recovered plastics into eco-bricks, which can be used to construct green buildings.

♫♪ Smoke Dawson - "The Minotaur"
By Mukqs https://www.tinymixtapes.com//writer/mukqs · September 2, 2014	2014-09-02T10:53:40-04:00
"Oh, ole Smoke? He was out on the porch earlier, but I think you just missed him."
I think of Henry Flynt as the pioneer of the extended technique fiddle shredding minimalist mantra, but it seems like a fellow wandering soul by the name of Smoke Dawson got up in that business just as early on. Press play on "The Minotaur" and bear witness to Smoke's bow as it skittered back in 1971, captured on record after stints in a trio called MacGrundy's Old-Timey Wool Thumpers with The Holy Modal Rounders' Peter Stampfel, sometime between years spent somewhere out there on the rails across the US. He ekes out a loping melody on the low strings as he flits through a stream of jittering runs in the upper register, combining the sum of his four quivering catguts into a progression of lightning chordal voices that churn across the minutes with remarkable discipline. The track plays out like a countrified rendition of Arvo Pärt's "Fratres," with fiddle figures cascading and lapsing into repeated cadences on the way to an indeterminable coda that you feel could and should have arrived a few minutes later (or never). If he sought transcendence, he found it. If he didn't seek it, he found it.
"You burned through that one, Smokey."
Tompkins Square revived Dawson's private press LP Fiddle for a fresh edition. You can order it now, and check out Tompkins Square honcho Josh Rosenthal's comprehensive research notes on the unbelievable trajectory of Dawson's musical practice. Quoth Smoke himself, still kicking at almost 80 years old, "I was cuckoo, couldn't get along in the world. The music always saved me. It got me friends, it got me shelter."

"I was away when the TSOP All-Nighter took place in August, but by all accounts the night was a huge success...."!!
Boyee, was the weather bad on Friday!!! I seriously didn't feel to move out of the house, but duty called so I climbed into my jalopy and headed off to the Longfield Suite for the latest instalment of TSOP.
The rain had eased a little as I was disembarking from my car, but I beat a hasty path to the entrance before I got caught in a flash downpour. Someone mentioned to me that night that as soon as you hit the staircase to ascend to the two main arenas, that you can usually tell what kind of night, it's going to be. Thinking back to when I arrived, there certainly seemed to be an air of expectation about TSOP.
Some of this might be down to the fact that there was a birthday party being held in the Soul room which was a nice touch. I first went into the main arena where the Northern Soul is played and was surprised to see that it was certainly the fullest I'd ever seen it. Now let me explain further; the first time that I'd ever been to TSOP was last October and by all accounts this was long after the event's halcyon days of yesteryear. I was away when the TSOP All-Nighter took place in August, but by all accounts the night was a huge success and many were saying to me that the mood experienced on Friday 5th was a direct result of the All-Nighter.
There seemed to be a bit of a buzz in the Northern room and the DJ who was on when I first came in seemed a lot more enthusiastic than any DJ that I'd ever seen in that arena before!! He was talking to the crowd in such a way as to entice them to become involved with the night and not as I'd seen before in this arena where other DJ's just read the contents of the record label verbatim as if this would be enough to get the masses raving!!! I didn't catch that DJ's name but I applaud him for caring enough for his public to actually be bothered to include them in the night's proceedings!!
Anyway after 30 minutes or so I headed off toward the Soul Room and stopped on the way to speak to a few of the locals and regulars. On entering the Soul Room, there certainly seemed to be a party atmosphere in there and I got the feeling that perhaps I'd missed the meat of the evening because there were some hot & sweaty Funkateers who were collapsed in the chairs around the edge of the dance-floor looking like they were desperately searching deep within for their second wind!!!
Bob Hinsley was on at this point and he was followed by Mike Stephens. Whilst the music was quality, I found it a little pedestrian for my clubbing tastes to be truthful, but that's just my personal point of view as most people that I spoke to said they'd had an excellent night so far and the excessive heat that was being generated in this room suggested that this was the case!!! The Soul Room wasn't rammed, but it was nicely full and the atmosphere was what you'd expect of a birthday/club night all rolled in one.
Mike Stephens seemed strangely subdued though, and he even announced toward the end that he was taking this night for himself for once, and playing what he wanted to hear and that normal service would be resumed at the next TSOP!! I think his mood might have had something to do with the fact that Manchester City Football Club had recently become the richest club on the planet and Mike was in mourning for what the future had in-store for the Stretford Red Sox!!!!
I'm gutted that I missed the TSOP All-Nighter as it was supposed to be the nearest thing for a long time to what TSOP was like in its heyday!!! TSOP seems to be on the up again and I for one hope it continues on this upward trend for a long time to come.

This method provides a procedure for carrying out a PK ELISA Antigen Capture Format with anti-omalizumab antibodies, product codes HCA237P or HCA238 (detection antibody), and using omalizumab monoclonal antibody for the standard curve.
Anti-omalizumab drug/target complex antibody recognizes omalizumab only when bound to its target IgE (HCA171). It does not recognize the free drug or unbound IgE. The method should always be used in conjunction with product and batch specific information provided with each vial (see product datasheets). This protocol will need to be adjusted for use with different detection methods and immunoassay technology platforms.
For best results when conjugating with Lynx Rapid HRP Antibody Conjugation Kit, avoid using antibody with thiomersal as preservative. Contact us to discuss thiomersal-free options.
Prepare detection antibody: if using HCA238 (AbD20760) for detection, first conjugate the antibody using a Lynx Rapid HRP Antibody Conjugation Kit. HCA237P (AbD20760_hIgG1) is already directly labeled with HRP.
Prepare the human IgE capture antigen HCA171 (AbD264_hIgE) at 5 µg/ml in PBS. Coat the required number of wells of a 384-well microtiter plate with 20 µl per well of the prepared capture antigen. Incubate overnight at 4°C.
For the standard curve, prepare a dilution series of omalizumab in 10% human serum in PBST in triplicate. Final concentrations of omalizumab should cover the range from 0.1 ng/ml to 1,000 ng/ml. Include a zero omalizumab concentration as the background value.
To each well, add 20 µl pre-prepared HRP conjugated detection antibody HCA238 (AbD20760) or HCA237P (AbD20760_hIgG1) at 2 µg/ml in HISPEC buffer. Incubate for 1 hour at RT.
