Mandala SVG formats became very popular and appreciated in the last period and I have to say that they really "deserve" this, because they are far superior to other photo formats from many points of view.
What I'm going to do today is to explain why. Let's see what they are, how to use them and why they represent such a big advantage in the digital world of photos.
SVG comes from Scalable Vector Graphics and it is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation.
XML format is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.
SVG can be searched, indexed, scripted and compressed. SVG images can be created and edited with any text editor as well as with drawing software.
The SVG specification is an open standard developed by World Wide Web Consortium since 1999 and all major modern web browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari and Microsoft Edge have SVG rendering support.
Given that I don't want to make this post a mixture of complicated terms, the SVG documents are nothing more than simple plain text files that describe lines, curves, shapes, color and text.
To create SVG formats, there are used shapes, numbers and coordinates, rather than a pixel grid. This makes them resolution-independent and infinitely scalable. Basically, with SVG, you can combine different shapes, paths and text elements to create all kind of visuals and to be sure that they will look clear and crisp at any size.
In contrast, raster-based formats like GIF, JPG, and PNG have fixed dimensions, which causes them to pixelate when they are scaled. Although various responsive image techniques have proved valuable for pixel graphics, they will never be able to truly compete with SVG's ability to scale infinitely, so that's why they represent a big advantage when you want to print an image and have the same quality at any size.
Also, SVG graphics are usually smaller file sizes compared to their raster graphics friends (gif, jpg, png).
SVG formats are used to make plain illustrations and diagrams, logos and icons, animations, charts, maps, infographics, maps, special effects, building interfaces and applications and many more.
As you can see, even if it wasn't trusted at the beginning, today it is very used and very appreciated and the browser support is getting better and better.
The best place to buy mandala SVG is Etsy. They have lots of beautiful models from which you can choose. You will have to download them online, so there are no headaches with the shipping.
Those are detailed and original designs including: beautiful lady, butterfly hair, peacock, sugar skull lady, dream catcher and a bonus unicorn.
Those are ancient Indian ornamental mandalas and you will get 12 unique and colorful designs.
You can use this to craft your own cute tees or decals with your cricut, silhouette, or plotter machine and keeping them for yourself or selling.
This cute mandala elephant is very popular and it will look great on your crafts.
Same as the elephant, this is a beautiful and detailed design, just perfect for personal crafts.
If you want to get some free mandala SVG, have a look on lovesvg.com. They have some really gorgeous mandala designs from which you can choose.
Besides mandalas, they have many other different themes, shapes, and models in SVG format for free, so you can combine them and create your own unique crafts. Enjoy!
I hope you found my post useful and if there is anything you need to add or ask about mandala SVG, feel free to leave a comment below and I will be so glad to make discussions with you! Blessings!
I really love these Mandala designs. Especially the Penguin Art Lab Mandala SVG Bundle. I see that it is for printing, printmaking and scrap booking. I am wondering if I can somehow print these out and use them to make designs on a wall or other surface? I am thinking I can, but would it be difficult to do?
There are many many ways you can use them. You can print them on sticky and transparent foils, so you can easily stick them on the wall or you can simply print them on canvas. They would look like real artworks.
You can also use the patterns to customize your clothes, bedding, mugs etc. Here is a place you can do it online, if you don't have your own tools, but make sure you select your country from the list on the top of the page. On the other side, you can also find clothes and accessory shops near you, that do customize your items based on your designs.
I'm happy you enjoyed my post and I hope my answer will help you. Thank you for your comment! Blessings!
The SVG formats are very cheap and the biggest advantage is that you can use them in so many ways to create your own artworks, personalized clothes, bags etc. You can edit them or even create your own SVG designs using Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator, Apache Batik, Raphael JS etc.
Another popular way to create beautiful designs on paper, vinyl, fabric, iron etc is by using a Cricut Machine. In the future, I will make a post about this, so stay tuned!
I'm glad you enjoyed my post and have fun decorating! Thank you so much for your comment!
Oh wow I was really confused for a minute there until you broke it down into easier terms a few paragraphs in lol 😅 So do you personally make mandalas in an SVG formats, or if you wanted to use one would you buy it? Would it be difficult to learn? Based on the price, and how many of those big words I didn't understand, I'd probably just buya file.
Well, it depends. It is not difficult to learn. It depends on the way you want to create them. If you want to work behind the scenes (coding them up), you can do it in any text editor, using special tags (the same way you use HTML tags). It may look scary at the beginning, but after you're getting used to it, you can see it is not such a big deal. Or you can use special programs that make your work more easier – no more tags and codes.
If you are interested to try some, I recommend you Inkscape and Adobe Illustrator. Those are the most popular and also the best, in my opinion.
If you need step by step instructions on this, I recommend you to watch Kevin Powell's beginners guide to SVG.
Or, if you are not interested in learning, you can simply buy them (seen that they are really cheap) or try the free ones on the website I recommended.
I'm not doing madala SVG now, but I was thinking to start doing it, even if, right now, I don't even have time to breathe. I didn't turn it into a goal yet.
I hope my answer was useful to you and thanks for your comment! Blessings!
Great job on demonstrating the difference between what normal image files like .jpg looks like when compared with vector images such as .svg. I really liked the mandalas and you would definitely want svg for them since they can get detailed depending on their complexity. Your post is organized very well and simple and you put in some nice graphics to illustrate what you will get.
I have never heard about a mandala supplier like this and I didn't know that anyone would go any lower than something like a file format such as .svg. I was thinking that .png is similar in that you will never lose quality of your photos with that but does it not increase quality when you scale it also?
Well, both .png and .svg formats offer a transparent background and also a higher quality, while .jpg offers better image compression (lower file-size). The difference between .png and .svg is that .png will lose its quality when it is scaled (because it is based on pixels), while .svg will not (because it is based on coordinates and shapes). So you can resize it whatever you like and infinitely without losing quality.
Anyway, you will always have to choose the best format depending on what you're doing. For example, if you want to use an image for your website, I guess the better choice is a .jpg, so your website will be fast. Files like .png and .svg, which are big file-size will slow your website speed and you don't want that.
I'm glad you enjoyed my post and the mandalas, Larry! Thank you so much for your comment! Blessings!
Thanks for this awesome post, these svg is a gorgeous teal mandala design you can customize with your own rooms as I have always been a lover of mandala designs, the cute elephant mandala is one of my best on this post I will definitely make sure I get it crested on my coffee mug.
I'm happy to see that. I'm glad you enjoyed my post and I am sure your coffee mug will motivate you in the morning. 🙂 Thanks for your comment! Blessings!
I always liked mandalas since I was a little kid.
A while ago I was thinking about starting a t-shirt shop with mandala prints but I didn't know that I could buy those designs… Since you can't use Google images for a commercial design I thought that I had to create them myself and I had even started some illustrator lessons to find out how.
Now that I know, a whole world opened up for me.
I'm so happy my content created a new opportunity for you! I'm sure you will do a great work! Mandala T-shirts are a very good idea!
Sometimes it may take too much time to do the designs, so the fact that you can buy them (even at such a low price) it saves you time and energy, so you can take care of your other tasks.
I hope you good luck and success in your new business! Thank you so much for your comment! Blessings!

Home/Our Wellness & Sustainability Standard
Our Wellness & Sustainability Standard
Our Wellness & Sustainability Standard is used to assess the products and services that we advertise and endorse, ensuring they are working to provide a progressive solution for the betterment of people and the planet.
While there are many great standards, accreditations and certificates in the marketplace (provided by the likes of the Soil Association, Forest Stewardship Council, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Rainforest Alliance, etc.) there is not a standard that measures the overarching and end-to-end sustainability of the production and consumption of consumable goods.
Lots of brands have voluntary standards and strategies that they use to measure their own environmental, ethical and social goals which closes this gap in global regulation.
Earth Collective's standard has been developed over four years, taking into consideration the current standards in the marketplace and using global chemical databases, scientific research and professional consultation to shape a scoring model that all advertising partnerships are assessed against.
The importance of a standard
Our shops are packed with products that claim to be natural, organic, and eco-friendly but nobody is governing what goes into these products or how they're labelled, which means they're often not as good for us or the planet as we think.
What we're consuming and how we're consuming it (from our food and energy, to our clothes and gadgets) has caused an increase in emissions and a loss of natural resources and biodiversity that has never been seen in human history. At the same time, cancer, autoimmune diseases and mental health concerns are all on the rise.
Being interconnected with our planet and our environment, our health and sustainability challenges are all linked. We can only be as healthy as our planet.
There's no planet B
The Global Footprint Network has reported that we're currently using the equivalent of 1.75 Earths to provide the resources necessary to produce the goods and absorb the waste involved in our current consumption habits.
The United Nations estimates that by 2050, the equivalent of almost three Earths could be required to sustain our current consumption habits and lifestyles.
Without three Earths, our only option is to change our ways to ensure our survival.
EarthScore
We're supporting the launch of a new standard that regulates and governs our global production and consumption of consumable goods.
EarthScore is a not-for-profit scientific research hub that is working to launch a new global sustainability standard in 2021, closing a dangerous gap in our global regulation.
Earth Collective has partnered with EarthScore to support the creation of this standard and bring it to you as soon as it's ready to share. Stay tuned!

Environmental services firm SUEZ has selected Eugene, Oregon based recycling equipment manufacturer, Bulk Handling Systems (BHS), to design, engineer, manufacture and install two Materials Recycling Facilities (MRFs) at Aberdeen City Council's Altens East Industrial Estate south of Aberdeen, Scotland.
BHS explained that one of the single stream facilities will process 20 tonnes per hour of commingled recyclables while, the other will sort 30 tonnes per hour of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) to produce Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF).
The advanced single stream system features a variety of technology to maximise the recovery and purity of recyclable commodities.
The technology to be installed Includes BHS screens, a Nihot Single Drum Separator and NRT In-Flight Sorting® optical sorters. The equipment manufacturer explained that screen, air and optical technologies will be utilised to break, extract and purify the glass included in the commingled kerbside collection.
The company added that NRT technology will also automate and enhance fibre recovery, with an NRT ColorPlus™ to remove cardboard from news and pams, and an NRT SpydIR® to remove any plastics from the mixed fibre stream.
The system, designed to comply with the Scottish Government's Code of Practice on Sampling and Reporting at Materials Recovery Facilities, features sampling, numerous scales to weigh inbound and outbound materials, and automated labeling of outbound bales.
The single stream system for comingled recyclables will process 60,000 tonnes per year and is expected to recover more than 95% of available recyclables. The RDF system will process 80,000 tonnes per year.
SUEZ is purchasing, operating and maintaining the MRF on behalf of Aberdeen City Council. In 2000, the Council awarded SUEZ a 25 year contract to manage recycling, composting, treatment and disposal of the household waste for the local authority's now more than 228,000 residents.
The new recycling facility is expected to increase the city's 37% recycling rate to 56% by 2020 and could save the city up to £5 million a year in landfill taxes.
BHS said that the plans have been developed to meet the aims set out in the Aberdeen City Waste Strategy, are part of the Aberdeen Recycling and Energy initiative and are in line with Scotland's Zero Waste Plan, which includes a 70% recycling target by 2025.
"In the company's design collaboration with BHS, SUEZ was clear from the onset that the total recovery and quality of commodities sent to market were paramount," explained BHS CEO Steve Miller.
"The SUEZ Altens East MRF will be instrumental to Aberdeen reaching its recycling targets and stand as a shining example for other communities to follow," he concluded.
French environmental service giant, SUEZ has signed a three year contract with aeronautic, space and defence equipment manufacturer, Safran , for waste management and wastewater treatment facility maintenance services on 23 industrial Safran sites in France.


These Chocolate & Merlot Cupcakes are perfect for entertaining summer guests! Rich chocolate fudge cupcakes meets a fine Merlot buttercream for a decadent dessert.
Summer has finally arrived, or so says the 90 degree weather we've had for the last week here in Maine. I know to some of you that isn't "hot", but for me it's way too hot if I'm not on a beach somewhere. Luckily, I was able to bake these cupcakes for the 4th, before the heat set in (hence the sweater).
As we made plans for the holiday and got family together, I wanted to make a dessert that was great for summer parties. I didn't want anyone to have to deal with the hassle of a plate and fork, I simply wanted everyone to be able to grab a cupcake and stand on the back deck or out by the lawn games. Cupcakes are such a great and no fuss on the go treat.
And you can't have a cupcake unless you've got something to wash it down with. In this case, Black Box Merlot Wine was just the pairing, especially since the frosting in these yummy cupcakes is laced with it. Can you say "YUM"! Black Box Wine has won over 50 gold medals for its quality and it's 40% cheaper than most wines, leaving more spending cash for summer activities. Since Black Box Wines are so portable, they can enjoy your day at the beach or your back yard bash with you! Black Box Wine stays fresh up to 6 weeks after opening making it perfect for both large gatherings or multiple small get togethers.
Oh right, and we really need to talk about these cupcakes! They're made with my chocolate fudge cupcake base that you've seen here, here, and here. I finished them off with a silky smooth and flavorful Merlot buttercream made with the Black Box Wine. The frosting takes a little extra attention in order to reduce the wine for a beautiful full-bodied syrup, but the results are so worth it!
Visit the Simple Entertaining Social Hub for more recipe and summer entertaining ideas. Don't forget to enter the sweepstakes while you're there!
What's your favorite way to enjoy a glass of wine in the summer?
Bake for 18-22 minutes until toothpick comes clean. Start on frosting instructions below.
Meanwhile, add 1 cup of the Merlot and the granulated sugar to a small saucepan over medium-high heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer until the mixture has reduced to a about 1/3 cup, about 25 minutes.
Allow the red wine reduction to completely cool in the fridge.
In an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter until fluffy.
Gradually add confectioner's sugar a half cup at a time, beating until combined.
Add heavy cream and beat until light and fluffy for about 1-2 minutes.
Slowly add the cooled Merlot reduction and continue to beat the frosting until smooth.
Add the last 2 tablespoons of red wine one at a time and beat until smooth.
Add additional confectioner's sugar a 1/4 cup at a time if needed to reach desired frosting consistency.

This is not a useful bug report. Please follow the bug reporting guidelines or use the jQuery Forum for support requests.
After some quick googling this blog post by Ben Nadel came up. Where he describes an issues related to evaluating json, in short doing eval( json ) and forgetting the parentheses, instead of eval( "(" + json ")" ).
From this I made the following test case which triggers this exception. (not anymore as jsfiddle now returns the correct content type). You can this test case which uses a little trick to simulate the behavior for a missing dataType statement and the server returning the wrong content type.
So I guess your problem has a similar cause. You propably didn't specify the dataType: "json" option on the ajax call and the server doesn't respond with the correct Content-Type header.
What's still unclear to me is how what you have done worked, in 1.4.4 and 1.5b1 but not in 1.5rc1, because afaik there wasn't a change which could have triggered this issue. The test case I gave above triggers the exception with all 3 versions of jQuery (1.4.4, 1.5b1, 1.5rc1).
Thus it would be interesting to see a test case or more information by the reporter, detailing what exactly he does to trigger this in 1.5rc1 but not in 1.4.4 or 1.5b1.
I get the same label-error.
My Firebug shows me that the request is handled like dataType would be 'jsonp'. A callback is added to the url: "...?callback=jQuery1507447478875469641_1296513129436&_=1296513132903"
Can you provide a test case for this? What does _url look like?
I haven't spent too much time on this so not sure exactly why this is happening but if you're seeing ajax calls treated as jsonp calls this may be the reason and the above quick fix should work.
"In my case the quick fix was to reset the jsonp and jsonpCallback back to null.". Confirmed.
//  Do the rest of the application.
"In my case the quick fix was to reset the jsonp and jsonpCallback back to null.".
In my case that works as well. Thanks!
Please provide the URL that you are requesting and the URL of the page that is requesting it.
same problem here. it was ok with jquery 1.4.2. Downloaded the 1.5 version and now appears "label error"
what the line of the jquery.1.5.js did you added the line?
Nullifying jsonp and jsonpCallback using ajaxSetup as was suggested will break jsonp.
jQuery.ajaxSettings is not documented and could very well end up not being exposed anymore in future versions.
There are other things that will break if you extend your settings with ajaxSettings (context, contentType and all the options that are objects and that need to be deep-extended).
Most of the time, you don't need to manually extend your own settings object using ajaxSettings prior to calling ajax since this is already done internally by ajax in a much safer way (with all the specificities of each option handled correctly for you).
The rare cases where you need to have access to ajaxSettings is generally to control some custom options you set up there are defined when they're not in the settings object you wish to provide to ajax. In this situation, it's much simpler and efficient to do something like this: ( "myValue" in settings ? settings : ajaxSettings ).myValue; and it has the advantage not to break anything.
Also, make sure your ajax requests fail without any plugin installed. Some plugins will proxy ajax and do it wrong.
I've been having the exact same problems listed above. This appears to be a bug in the most recent version of jquery validate that only manifests in 1.5. Ticket # 8064 is related: http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/8064. I used the forked jquery.validate.js provided there and the problem went away, though using the .ajaxSetup method recommended above is less problematic.
The jquery.validate.js provided in ticket 8064 listed above works for me!!! Thanks!!!
I'll close this as wontfix. Let's mark all related present and future bugs as duplicate of this one and link to http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/8084#comment:16 so that posters get a good picture of what's happening and how to properly fix their code.
I know this ticket is Closed. But I ran into the same Issue and want to share how I got that fixed. There's only one single thing (I can see) which was Changed in how jQuery requests JSONP. The Callback name.
which wasn't recognized (due to the '_' in the Callback-Name) as a valid Callback - which of course was depending heavily on my Application providing the data.
Anyone else who has this: Open your Browser and do the request by hand. Once with and once without the underscore and see what you get back. May be the Server-Side won't get that parameter as a callback as well.
#8436 is a duplicate of this ticket.
Also seems to happen when using the ajaxQueue plugin.
#8452 is a duplicate of this ticket.
Please explain to me (you may need to use small words) why this is not a bug.
On line 15 of /ajax/jsonp.js, ajaxPrefilter() is decorated with "json jsonp" even though the comment on line 14 clearly states that the purpose of the pre filter is to normalize JSONP requests, not JSON requests.
This pre filter adds the callback query string which causes my app to issue a 302 upon receipt. It also adds an unnecessary callback function, which interferes with the processing of my JSON request. Finally, the suggestion in comment 16 does not help me, since the pre filter is processed AFTER the pre filter in /ajax/jsonp.js, when the damage is done.
Please fix /ajax/jsonp.js by removing "json" from the pre filter.
#8454 is a duplicate of this ticket.
I suggest you actually read comment 16. Let me restate it, once again, anyway.
1) You provide the jsonp or jsonpCallback options or if your url contains one of the callback markers (=? or ??).
2) You use a plugin that redefines ajax and changes the options passed to the method in such a way that falls into case 1 (most of the time, by extending the options with ajaxSettings which is totally unnecessary and can even spawn nasty bugs, even in 1.4.4).
Would you be so kind as to try and remove the plugins you use then check your ajax requests. I guarantee you'll find the problem doesn't lie in 1.5 but in your application.
Yes, the prefilter is applied to jsonp AND json requests ON PURPOSE. This is actually what makes it possible to issue jsonp requests using getJSON with a url that contains one of the callback markers (=? or ??). The dataType of the request is "json", yet the prefilter has to be applied.
The only thing 1.5 changed is that the default jsonp and jsonpCallback options now sit in ajaxSettings. Those were the only two options not to be stored in this structure previously. Doing so exhibited faults into existing plugins and applications (mainly because people seem to believe it is somehow necessary to manually extend options with ajaxSettings while ajax does it internally -- and without caveats).
There's a lot of mis-conceptions in some of the presumed "solutions" to this ticket. If you actually take the time and read comment 16 carefully and stop presuming that the problem cannot possibly be on your side (because you see "json" somewhere in jQuery's code and are then convinced it's a blatant mistake while ignoring the fact jQuery has extensive unit tests regarding json requests that NEVER exhibit promotion to jsonp), then it will be a matter of seconds before you spot the problem in your application (or one of the plugins you use).
In short, stop presuming: look at your code and plugins.
Are those words numerous and small enough for you?
I think it would be worth opening a new ticket for this one. If a broad server-side system has problem with underscores, it's pretty easy to have it removed (if it's a custom server-side script, that's another story).
I'm using Slim PHP Framework and an Application I wrote for that. An that App I used a regex which didn't match '_' as a valid character in a callback. Clearly my fault since I've written that in jQuery 1.4 times where the generated callback name did contain only a-z, A-Z & 0-9. So it was fine enough to match those. Now I simply return jsonp on my App in case the parameter 'jsoncallback' is set. In this case it was NOT a jQuery issue, but resulting in the same error ("invalid label" as outlines on the very first comment here).
#8940 is a duplicate of this ticket.
We have had these problems, but we see different behavior between the min and non-min jquery versions.


Pressure mounts on government to scrap sugar tax as businesses and industry groups join forces in Face the Facts, Can the Tax campaign | City A.M.
Soft drinks producers, off licences, pubs and sugar businesses have launched a new campaign to ramp up calls for the government to scrap its soft drinks levy.
The sugar tax, which was first announced in the March Budget, will be applied to drinks containing more than five grams of sugar per 100ml from April 2018.
The government is widely expected to publish its sugar tax consultation as well as a childhood obesity strategy at some point this week, though City A.M. understands these documents could be published on Thursday.
Associated British Foods-owned British Sugar has joined forces with groups including the British Soft Drinks Association, the British Beer and Pub Association and the Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers to launch the Face the Facts, Can the Tax group today.
The campaign members together employ more than 400,000 people across the country.
The new body has warned the sugar tax will "do nothing to tackle obesity", risk thousands of job losses and implement higher prices for soft drinks "for those who can least afford it".
A report released earlier this month by Oxford Economics warned the tax will cost the UK economy £132m and threaten 4,000 jobs.
The same report argued the tax will have a cost saving of just five calories per person, per day.
This is equivalent to one bite of an apple and echoes figures produced by the TaxPayers' Alliance based on data from a similar soft drinks tax in Mexico.
"We absolutely agree with the government that obesity levels are too high and action is needed, but burdening businesses and consumers with an ineffective tax is not the answer," Gavin Partington, director general of the British Soft Drinks Association, said.
"We know from the evidence around the world where they've tried a tax that it will not make a difference to obesity.
However, new research released today by market research firm Future Thinking found nearly half of consumers agreed with the sugar tax and a large proportion wanted more products to be added to it.
Four in 10 respondents to a survey of more than 2,000 UK adults said they thought the levy should be expanded to include chocolate and sweets, while 34 per cent said they thought it should include cakes and 32 per cent sweetened breakfast cereals.
"Despite widespread concern by food and drinks industry leaders, the data shows that the Sugar Tax is very popular with consumers," Claudia Strauss, UK managing director at Future Thinking, said.
The levy is about getting producers to use healthier ingredients to reduce the levels of added sugar in products our children consume. If they reformulate, they won't have to pay.
Companies have two years before the levy comes into force to adapt, and it's designed to encourage them to reformulate their products so there is less added sugar in soft drinks.
British children are currently consuming three times the recommended amount of sugar and health experts agree there is a specific problem with sugar-laden soft drinks.


IOWA CITY — The University of Iowa is weighing an idea to charge all undergraduates an extra $30 a year to encourage more of them to study abroad.
The fee, if ultimately approved by UI leadership and the Board of Regents, would generate about $770,000 a year. That would boost study abroad support about 66 percent, according to Downing Thomas, associate provost and dean of International Programs.
"Unlike any other fee, 100 percent of the revenue would go back to students in the form of scholarships," he told faculty leaders this week in presenting the idea.
It would add to the $1,496.50 in mandatory fees the UI already charges its nearly 24,000 undergrads for things like technology, student health and recreation.
At $15 a semester, or $30 for an academic year, it's on the lower end of the fee schedule. Students pay a $507 technology fee, a $292 recreation fee and a $237 health fee. But fees add to the cost of a higher education, and regents already have approved several rounds of tuition increases.
Annual tuition and fees for UI resident undergrads this fall total a combined $9,266.50. Adding in room and board and other expenses, the estimated cost to attend the UI is $22,101.50.
Thomas, while presenting Tuesday to the UI Faculty Council, was careful to note the proposal hasn't been approved by UI leadership or its governing board.
But the hope, he said, is to increase study abroad participation — which has been shown to improve collegiate outcomes — by offering more scholarships to those who qualify based on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
"If the fee were to go forward and is approved by the board, it would have the largest impact on underrepresented groups, first generation students who might not have ever imagined that this would be an opportunity for them," Thomas said.
The proposal aims to impose the fee on all undergraduates, regardless of whether they choose to study abroad or whether they qualify for a scholarship to do so.
Other universities have implemented similar fees, according to Thomas. The idea here emerged from a group of deans. He and UI Tippie College of Business Dean Sarah Gardial then discussed the idea with student senators.
UI Faculty Senate President Russell Ganim said student support is a difference-maker, as the university has considered a study-abroad fee in the past.
UI Student Government President Hira Mustafa said student leaders have not yet coalesced on a position.
"It was presented to us, but there has not been any formal statements from UISG supporting or not supporting the fee," she said.
Thomas told The Gazette on Wednesday the proposal remains "in process." If it's approved for submission to the board, he said, the public will have plenty of time to weigh in.
He told faculty leaders he believes the fee could go a long way to ramp up the UI's study abroad participation from about 18 percent to the 30 percent range seen at the University of Michigan and the University of Minnesota.
The UI in recent years has seen some declines in its study abroad participation, with 1,365 students studying, working or conducting research abroad during the 2009-10 school year compared with 1,242 in 2016-17.
Research, including from the University of Georgia, indicates graduation rates improve when students study abroad. Those opportunities are expanding not just geographically, but in duration and scope.
A fee would be one piece of a study abroad push — with a growing emphasis on advisers suggesting options and private philanthropy.
"We envision this as a three-pronged approach," Thomas said.


New routes, just Everywhere !!
Was there a bolt or anchoring points sale recently? Did we miss it??
It seems that a horde of climbers have gone crazy to bolt a number of new problems across the whole island. I'm not complaining of course! It is just so great I cannot believe it 🙂 And now back to the crags to send all these immaculate problems before chalk marks will ruin the pleasure of an on-sight.
Giorgio Puxeddu, Roberto Murgia have opened more than 30 new problems on the sector 'Rifugio della Stria'. Easy problems created especially for beginners, with shortened and generous bolting.
Simone Sarti has opened various new problems in 'Conca Manna': 'Carpe Diem' (6a+) and 'A denti Stretti' (6c). At the left edge of the crag he has also bolted two new projects: "Jump" and "Inverno".
Little Sausage - P1 30 m 6a+; P2 20 m 6b; P3 30 m 6a.
Maurizio Oviglia has bolted up a new problem between the famous Trompe d'Oeil and Fruit Joy. The new route is called Clin D'Oeil and is a 7a. The neighbouring routes have also been reshaped with new anchors and belay points.
During the last meeting Maurizio Oviglia, A. Loriga and S. Ribichesu have opened a few new problems: 'L'amaro svedese' (still to be opened, supposed 7a/7b), 'Sarde in saor' 6c, and 'Guarda e passa'. The meeting guest, Rolando Larcher has climbed the lattest with apparent no effort, but jumped off before touching the chain, offering the possibility to locals to open it. Grade presumed 7b+.
Sa Sedda e Sos Carros: 110 + 30 m.
All belay points for rappelling have been created and each pitch has been equipped with one anchor only. Use small and medium knots and friends.

Another editorial board has declined to endorse billionaire frontrunner J.B. Pritzker in the democratic primary for Governor, calling Pritzker out as just another self-serving politician unwilling to stand up to the broken status quo.
The News-Gazette blasted J.B. Pritzker over the weekend, calling him a "hollow man with a passing interest in issues" and "the favored candidate of party leaders" like Mike Madigan. Pritzker was slammed for "groveling" on the phone with Rod Blagojevich and his "utter refusal to say a single negative word" about Mike Madigan.
It's become clear that with his numerous scandals and ties to Madigan and Blagojevich, J.B. Pritzker is a general election nightmare for Illinois democrats.
Pritzker is the favored candidate of party leaders, virtually all of whom fell in line after Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan made it clear that he wanted Pritzker to self-finance his race for governor, allowing Madigan to use his many millions in campaign contributions to re-elect an overwhelmingly Democratic Legislature.
Pritzker obviously chose his parents well, but he's established himself as a businessman of some repute. Nonetheless, when it comes to politics, he gives the impression of a candidate who's running to become something rather than do something.
Whether he's on the telephone with former Gov. Rod Blagojevich groveling for appointment to what he hoped would be a vacant state treasurer's post or toadying for Madigan in his quest to become governor, Pritzker comes across as a hollow man with a passing interest in issues and a surpassing interest in fulfilling his ambition to be more than just another billionaire.
His utter refusal to say a single negative word about the leadership of Madigan, perhaps the most destructive political force in the state's history, speaks volumes about his unwillingness to deviate from the past of business as usual. That devotion to self-interest, rather than the public interest, is a long-standing practice that has served the insiders well but driven the state into a ditch.
If Pritzker can't find a harsh word to describe Madigan's impact on Illinois, how can he possibly make the tough decisions needed to take the state off the critical list?


I've come up with this snippet, but what I would like it to do is, when other people select a nickname from their mirc nick list, and when he or she types in !ban, the selected person gets a kick and ban by my bot.
* So far it only works for me when I do it via my own bot, but not my hosts. I need your help to make it happen for others instead of myself.
msg # $utfencode($snick($active,1)) $+ 's gate: $ial($snick($active,1)).user has been added to the banlist.
ban $chan $address($nick,2) was banned by $me on $date at $time(h:nn:ss tt) Violation.
Your request doesn't make sense when compared to your code.
You can't read someone else's $snick list. Your script looks like a combination of both the scripts (the user's and the bot's).
You want their clients to send you $snicks and then make your bot act on that output.
So then it's not possible? Is there a workaround to make it work per my request?
I can have a nickname selected on my bot's nick list, while other hosts type !ban to execute my bot to kick that chosen nickname. The way I want it to be is to let them choose their own nickname from their client's nick list and then execute my bot to act on their selections.
It's always possible if the end user has a script to send the request to the bot... But that beats the purpose of the bot.
You need to have separate codes for the users and the bot.
How is your bot supposed to know what people have selected in their nick list?
How are other people supposed to know what you have selected in your nick list?
Perhaps maybe $snick($active,1) only returns your own $snick but not others?
Never mind. I have worked this out.


A lot of people employ debt consolidation reduction to save cash in the process of paying back debts. Any time a person makes a decision to consolidate his / her debt, a lot of smaller financial obligations are put together into just one large financial loan, which can be then repaid towards the debt consolidation loan company through just one monthly installment. Any debt consolidation loan in Kekaha will feature just one single interest rate, compared to the various rates of your various accounts. It's improbable that each one of your rates of interest are similar, and they might not even be in the same range. If so, then you'll especially benefit from the debt consolidation approach.
The first thing you'll want to do would be to look into each of the Hawaii debt consolidation loan programs, as well as learn as much as you are able to concerning them. Quit worrying about all the various credit and financial loan balances. Combine them all in only one. Additionally, because possessing a lot of individual financial loans can often mean having a variety of due dates to concern yourself with through the entire calendar month, a debt consolidation reduction loan could help you save the aggravation of needing to attempt to just remember the various due dates. With just a single account to get a repayment toward every month, you can find it much easier to maintain a good credit reputation via on time repayments.
If you wish to experience the convenience and simplicity of one monthly installment And also spend less in the process, then consolidation options in Kekaha just might be the answer you need. Having only one loan will mean that you've got one interest rate. Over time, this will save you lots of money. It is rather common for the total or average interest charges on numerous balances to be a lot more than your new debt consolidation reduction loan interest fees. People are saving anywhere from a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars just in interest charges through the debt consolidation approach. While consolidating debts is obviously an exceptionally attractive strategy for various reasons, you do have to be sure that you do not get the wrong offer.Do the math to find out if and exactly how much you'll save each month, per year, and throughout the course of the consolidation loan.
It's easy to notice the many advantages of responding to consumer debt by entering into a consolidation loan agreement. Before getting excited, however, you'll want to learn a little bit more. Consolidation loans are not the best choice for everybody, and for many people, this method will not be a possibility at all.
Generally, it's advisable that only those people with high credit scores submit an application for debt consolidation loans. Of course, considering that debt consolidation loans tend to come in really large amounts, banking institutions and other loan companies are skeptical and reluctant about financing such large amounts of cash to individuals having poor or even mediocre credit histories. For a consolidation loan deal, you need to have a good credit score.
It is now evident that you'll need to learn your credit score to figure out your eligibility, yet what credit score is a candidate? If you live in Kekaha with a credit rating beneath 700, your credit is less than exceptional and you are less likely to be accepted. Consolidation loan acceptance, although mostly based upon credit score, does involve other important factors too. As an example, even when you have got a great credit history, being unemployed or not having a steady source of income at the time of your application may result in being declined. Approval is determined by excellent credit score and dependable regular income source.
Outstanding credit ranking along with a stable source of income nearly makes sure you're going to be approved for a consolidation loan in Kekaha, Hawaii, so what exactly must you do then? A debt consolidation loan has to be sufficient to pay every one of the debt you want consolidated, therefore you need to know what debts you need payed off with the loan. This information will be necessary in the preliminary meeting with a debt consolidation reduction financing professional. You'll need to document and be prepared to respond to questions around the amount of the debts being consolidated.
Another significant element of choosing a consolidation loan is that of finding one that has a sensible rate of interest. This is the way you'll be able to make certain that you'll save money with the consolidation loan. It is easy to find out which companies have the very best rates. It necessitates a little investigating and will save you 100s to 1000s of dollars.
Having said that, do not miscalculate the importance of other things. Read through the terms of the loan to make certain you are at ease with the deal. The conditions of your loan agreement will incorporate the following information: rate of interest, overdue payment charges and penalties, monthly payment sum, regular payment date, and length of payment agenda.
An ideal loan company will have a score from the Better Business Bureau (BBB), and it certainly does not hurt to check into it. The feedback from consumers with knowledge of the lender make the BBB a important learning resource for lots of people trying to get loan consolidations. Do not work with a loan company with a B+ ranking or smaller. The best bet will be to deal with an A score agency.
Once you're sure that you have found the right loan company and certain loan choice for yourself, all that's left for you to do is to apply for the loan itself. After you fill out the application for the consolidation loan face-to-face or on the web, you are likely to need to present your driver's license (or another form of id) as well as your pay stubs or W2s (or other mode of source of income evidence). You should have your information handy to enable you to provide it in a moment's notice, instead of postponing the application procedure. When you are considering of which obligations you plan to consolidate, you will probably have to collect the relevant details for the application process.
Generally, you should have more than one alternative for sending the application, so if you will not be at ease with web based apps, do not worry. All you have to do is search out a debt consolidation loan company that allows telephone and snail mail applications. Select whatever method you like.
A short while after submitting an application for the loan, you will have a answer. It won't do anybody any good to tell a lie about their credit history, their income, or their identification, as all of these issues are going to be addressed while you're waiting for an answer. When your data is verified and your credit validated, you'll find out if you've been approved. You can inquire in advance the way your lender intends to get in touch with you, postal mail, email, or call. You will be approached the same way you submitted the loan application, but you have the option of selecting a different contact approach, if you want to.
Once your application for the loan is approved, you must sign some formal loan paperwork with the lender. Study the whole thing. If you do not grasp anything, request clarification. Do not sign when you are not positive. Whether or not the fine print seems to be of small significance, read it to be certain. Strongly recommended companies aren't above putting specifics in small print, so you positively need to read it. Once everything's agreed upon, the financial institution will take care of the rest; including paying back your existing loans and opening up the new loan account with their organization. Soon after your consolidation loan approval and filling out the paperwork, you should also get a number of letters from your former loan companies informing you that your balances have been paid back entirely. Keep the correspondence in a protected place.
Please don't stress if you're unable to get the several benefits of being qualified for the consolidation loan. You are not alone. Your credit rating should be higher than 680 to even consider consolidation. It remains an option to pay off debt sooner for less. Just look into the alternative solutions.
If you live in Kekaha and are still staggering with the weight of such a lot of debt that you cannot hope to actually repay in your whole life, you should investigate the area debt settlement options. Men and women suffering with far more financial debt than they are able to overcome, but without having the consumer credit rating to rescue themselves with consolidating debts, typically benefit from debt settlement. It is possible to use this solution to work out great deals wherein your total balances can be decreased. It requires working with a debt settlement service, who'll be in closer contact with the loan companies that you owe money to. These types of lenders can work towards accomplishing an amicable arrangement from you and your creditors so that you could pay your debt in a manner that benefits the both of you. This is an excellent opportinity for reducing the full month-to-month installment that you're required to spend. This is one solution through which many people are gaining some ground on their debts with well timed installment payments and a gradually increasing credit score.
You do need to pay money for assistance from the debt settlement agent. A percentage of the amount of debt you're settling is going to be billed to you, which will be a whole lot sometimes. Depending on your current credit ratings as well as your personal fiscal conditions, it could be the best option for you.
A bankruptcy proceeding is generally the most harmful of alternatives with regards to your credit standing. You definitely do not want to turn to going bankrupt, first. This is the approach of those who have exhausted any other opportunities and are anxious for powerful respite from their debt challenges. It may take years to get over the terrible impact of a bankruptcy proceeding with your credit ratings. You are likely to find it hard to be approved for any kind of financial loan, and you will be generally untrustworthy to banks. It is just sensible when you consider the standpoint of financial institutions who might be requested to contemplate lending to one who's recently gone bankrupt.
Just before you declare bankruptcy, you may want to take time to kiss your credit rating goodbye, since however poor it presently is, it might never achieve such altitudes again. Most of the people who request Chapter 7 or Chapter Thirteen bankruptcy find that their credit scores instantaneously decline Two hundred steps or even more. You can actually be ruined by this massive decision. You will not have the ability to get loans or pass a credit assessment. That being said be sure you know what you are accomplishing.
An additional downside of declaring bankruptcy would be that it costs money and requires you, often, to use a lawyer. Legal professionals are incredibly helpful in these kinds of proceedings, of course, as they could make certain that the process is completed quickly and efficiently. This attorney could cost a pretty penny when you consider the established fee or the percent on the financial debt that's going to be incurred.
On that note, when financial debt conditions are severe, the key benefits of a bankruptcy proceeding could outweigh the disadvantages. The best factor is that a bankruptcy proceeding entails paying off debt with valuable assets and having other bad debts forgiven. That is naturally better than endeavoring to pay off the debt for the rest of your lifetime, never actually managing to pay off the interest charges. It is also possible that a few of your outstanding debts won't be dealt with with the bankruptcy proceeding. School loans will not be resolved, for example, by personal bankruptcy.
Consult with a credit debt counseling professional prior to deciding to attempt to manage your debt in Kekaha via personal bankruptcy. If any other options can be found that might be less damaging plus much more helpful, an expert in the consumer debt counselling business can help you discover them.
At this point, there's no doubt that you have several alternatives to examine, and you'll want to do your research. Half the battle is choosing your strategy. Next, you simply need to keep to the deals you have made and deal with your outstanding financial debt in a strategic fashion with a helpful method.


Hedges L260 at breakfast time..is there anything finer?
Have taken to starting my day with a pinch of Hedges, often that's the only time I'll take it as it's a bit full-on to be sniffing all day.
What's your favourite breakfast snuff?
I've been using up so much Hedges in the early morning hours I wont have any left in a couple days here. It's just a little too strong for my tastes (physically hurts the front part of my nose after a while) but the tobacco base is really lovely.
But is more one the mood of wake up..
Hedges is my first and last snuff of the day. I would like to find something close that is available in bulk, though. Any ideas?
@mecompo All the Wilsons of Sharrow snuffs are available in bulk, so that might be a good avenue to try. I don't use much menthol snuff, but I'm sure there are some serious menthol heads here who could advise further.
Yes, would love to have some input. How does 666 compare (I know one really can't compare English and Indian snuff), but still, would it be a suitable replacement?
i dont think 666 would be a suitable replacement, though based on my understanding that it is a stronger 66 it would make a good change to have around, i love my 66. i reckon you are best looking at WoS range, not sure what to recommend as being closest to L260 though.
You might give Wilson's Super Menthol a try. I alternate between it and L260. They are very similar in the menthol content, and the base tobaccos. The 666 is an Indian take on an English style snuff. Its pretty good. I think, however that it has a little Indian style to it, in addition to strong menthol. Its another one you might want to try, but thats just my opinion.
following some of the others in a red bull "wake up and cry" session. Then to 6 photo 66 with coffee. But just as of late...Started with the red bull, then a toast and marmalade with menthol mixer. Wonderful with coffee.
Sm Blue is my day starter. Have gone to others, L260 included but always end up back at the Blue. It's the one i've spent the most on.
I think whacking myself in the face with a cast iron frying pan at breakfast time is more desirable than using Hedges for breakfast.
First pinch of the day, I want something that wakes me up. This is where mentholated snuffs come into play. I've been using Packard's Club just lately, as Hedges and Wilson's Super Menthol are both a bit more than necessary, and better saved for when I'm congested.
Hedges is the only thing that wakes me up in the morning; coffee can't compare to this stuff. Follow it up with a spicy snuff to get my blood pumpin', boom, you've got me.
I haven't had Hedges, but I do like to wake up to McChrystals English Menthol. Really perks me up.
I use whatever I feel like.
@mecompo According to the WoS site, SM 500 is "The Sharrow equivalents of Hedges L260", Has anyone had any experience with this ? Is Hedges made by WoS.
I want to try Hedges, but I prefer to order straight from the factories, I haven not had much success with ordering from the bigger stores, found that the snuff is not so fresh.
What about No 99 is that also from WoS ?
@yisraeldov, I have both SM500 and L260. Never put them next to each other. But I might give it a try tomorrow, and see if there is a big diffenence between them two.
I just got a reply from Wilson's.
The Sharrow equivalent of Medicated 99, Super Cool has many more flavourings than just Menthol and Eucalyptus, making it a particularly pleasant strong snuff.
The Sharrow equivalents of Hedges L260.
What does it mean equivalent, these are copies of L260 and Medicated 99 or the exact same snuff with different branding ?
They answered " they are very good copies"
I would be interested to hear how you think they stack up, I ran out of medicated snuff ( except for a lone can of OG ) and want to make another order. Willsons has TNT shipping and I prefer to order sraight from the factory, will I be missing out if I get SM500 instead of Hedges ?
Also does any one know if the large wilsons tins are "vacum tins" ?
Wilson's tins are not vac tins. But if you're ordering from the mill ought as well order bulk.
@SandwhichIsles, even the "Large Tins" ? That is a real shame.
I would order in bulk but I don't go through that much snuff, I usually run out because I give away or sell to friends, can't really do that with a bulk tin ( unless I order some smaller tins ).
Did a comparison of Super Cool and Medicated No 99. Let me know what you think.
I haven't found anything quite like Hedges. The herbaceous quality of the eucalyptus and camphor along with the fine quality of the flour is hard to find. None of the McCrystals or WoS come close. Hedges really feels medicinal.
The 6 Foto are nothing at all like it. I just got my super mega 6 Foto assortment and everything, even the menthols, have an Indian herbal aroma.
Fubar Snafu Medicated is fine. Hard to believe there is any tobacco in it.
@tboyer I haven't tried hedges yet. ( I have a tin that I need to get too ) but dynamite is strong but I don't find it so medicinal.
@jbrentoniv What about WoS SM 500, it is supposed to be the same as hedges.
There may be quite a few that are just like Hedges, but I personally have not had one *just* like it. I have really taken to the 6 Foto Medicated 66 (even though it is nothing like Hedges) - it is really, dare I say it? ADDICTIVE!

Sydney still the A-League hunters: Arnold
Sydney FC coach Graham Arnold has embraced his team's busy early season schedule and declared they are still the A-League's hunters.
The Sky Blues play their first home game of their title defence on Sunday against Wellington Phoenix.
It will be their third game in eight days after opening their A-League campaign away to Melbourne Victory and playing an FFA Cup semi-final against South Melbourne.
Sydney won both games and Arnold had no qualms about backing up quickly.
"Four-day turnarounds, Saturday, Wednesday to Sunday is great for us and the players, there's been minimal training," Arnold said on Saturday.
"We stayed down in Melbourne for six nights to minimise the travelling aspect of the week and the boys are raring to go, they are in top shape.
"We're the fittest team in the country."
Sydney dominated the 2016-17 A-League competition, establishing a slew of records on their way to winning the Premiers Plate and the grand final.
Those feats would normally leave them with a massive target on their back, with opposing clubs assuming the roles of the hunters.
Arnold isn't buying it.
"No one hunts us, we hunt them, we're on the front foot," Arnold said.
"We don't think about people hunting us, we go out and we hunt them, we put the pressure on them.
"We know what we can do and we know that if we play to our ability, which we will, no one can hurt us."
He is concentrating more on his own side than on the challenge presented by the Phoenix, who will have Gui Finkler returning from injury and Michael McGlinchey, Thomas Doyle and Andrew Durante all back from international duty.
"We've got 19 players out of 20 fit and ready to go, so I've got a few headaches overnight in the side that I select after a good performance against South Melbourne," Arnold said.
"But we need to get much better than that and much greater than that and we will."
Arnold said former Socceroos defender Luke Wilkshire would start after being rested from the FFA Cup game.
STATS THAT MATTER
* Sydney have lost only one of their past eight games against Wellington Phoenix and are undefeated in their past three.
* Sydney are looking to become just the second reigning A-League champions to win their opening two games of the season, after Brisbane Roar in 2011/12.
* Wellington have scored two or more goals in five of their past eight games away from home, recording two wins and two draws in that span.

Here are some photos from my 25th birthday, which was a couple of weeks ago. My parents got me a couple of really pretty things from one of my favorite labels, My Flat in London (the silver bow bangle and gray leather clutch above), which was really nice of them! They know me and my style so well. Later on in the evening, I celebrated my birthday with a few of my closest friends at The Cheesecake Factory. We had drinks, lots of food, and of course, cheesecake! It was really fun just catching up and indulging in pasta and sweets. Although, I was a little disappointed with the teeny tiny sundae thing (they used to give you a whole slice of plain cheesecake for birthdays. Dang), but oh well. I ended up bringing home a whole dulce de leche cheesecake anyway (and it was DELICIOUS). I was so happy my friends were able to celebrate with me!
I'll be posting my birthday outfit soon.


The impact of removing trees and hedgerows and building in the countryside has had a major impact on birds' natural food sources and it particularly noticeable during the winter months.
Although rowan, hawthorn and yews may look as though they are abundant with berries there isn't enough to go round. More and more birds rely on humans to supply extra food to them during the cold weather and are venturing into more urban errors to find this food.
There are a number of different types of food you can feed birds either putting on tables or in feeders or you can scatter some on the ground or in special trays for ground feeders.
Seed mixes are nutrient rich and can be specially formulated for one species or you can buy more general mixes that will attract all types of bird. Niger seed is becoming more popular in the UK because it attracts goldfinches and people appreciate their colourful displays as they flock to the feeders.
Make sure you buy your seed mix from a reputable supplier and use seed mixes for wild birds rather than caged or aviary birds.
Animal fat such as suet is an excellent treat for birds in the winter as gives them an instant energy boost as well as allowing birds to build up a fat reserve to see them through the freezing nights.You can make your own fat feeders by filling old plastic containers such as yoghurt pots or drinks bottles with a mixture of suet, seeds and dried fruit or you can buy special fat balls or suet blocks from bird food suppliers.
Do not use hooks or nets when hanging your fat feeders as they can be harmful to birds if they get caught up in them.
Don't throw away your kitchen scraps but put them out for birds. They will eat unsalted bacon, mild cheese, soaked dried fruit, cooked rice and nuts. In winter it is fine to put out whole nuts as there are no fledglings about who could choke on them.
It is also important that you put out fresh supplies of water in the winter as birds' usual sources may be frozen over. You may see birds splashing about in the water but don't worry about them getting cold. As well as water for drinking they need it for cleaning themselves.
Check that your bird bath's water hasn't frozen in the night and you can add a bird friendly disinfectant to it to prevent the spread of disease.
Feeding birds can encourage rats so whichever food you choose to put out for birds make sure that you keep feeding areas clean. Sweep up old food and use a scraper to remove dried food and droppings from your bird table.
By feeding birds during the winter you will not only be doing your bit for conservation but you will have the pleasure of seeing many birds visit your garden at a time of year when gardens can be quite dull.

Through a proprietary process, Unifi transforms polyester-based fabric waste into REPREVE fibe.
As of Monday, January 16, 2023
In the past, obsolete fashion was cast into the dustbin of history. But legislation working its way through Europe and slowly making its way to the U.S. will soon require that garments find their way back into a circular marketplace rather than a landfill. Unifi is one of the companies leading the transition from a linear to a circular apparel economy, and recently the innovator in recycled and synthetic yarns announced a major expansion of its Textile Takeback program, which includes major partners.
The initiative collects polyester-based fabric waste and, through a proprietary process, transforms it into a recycled resin that is in turn converted into REPREVE fiber. The macro plan is to help reduce the planet's carbon footprint to offset global warming, but there's a catch: The textiles must be 100 percent polyester, with no cotton, viscose or spandex blended in. While most apparel manufactured is polyester, only about 25 percent of it is pure, said Eddie Ingle, CEO of Unifi.
"Most garments are made out of polyester. What's exciting about that is that it takes up very little land and uses very little resources," said Ingle. "What's not exciting is that very little today is recycled, and the main reason is because garments aren't designed for recyclability. Designers have thought about color, style and what the market wanted but not about the recyclability of that garment. It's no fault of their own as they weren't being asked to do that."
One of the Textile Takeback's earliest successes was with The North Face's popular Denali jacket, whose floor scraps were sent to Unifi to be broken down and recycled into yarn in order to get a second chance at becoming a Denali jacket.
"What we're trying to do at this early stage is tell brands and retailers that we can do this," said Ingle. "To think about design at the very beginning, making mono-material garments and eventually large-scale programs—once that happens there'll be excitement from the consumer, who can say, 'Hey, I'm wearing secondhand clothing, but it's new.'"
"The downside," Ingle added, "is that initially the company can only do black yarn because all the fibers get mixed together. But there's so much black yarn on the market out there, we're not worried about that right now."

'Forever Chemicals' in Pesticides Raise Red Flags About Origins, Impact
by ANH-USA | Nov 28, 2022
Forever chemicals, already a hazardous presence in our kitchens, floor coverings and makeup tables, are now also turning up in some pesticides sprayed on our crops and into the air. Action Alert!
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, lab-made chemicals known collectively as PFAS, have been used in some varieties of nonstick pans, plastic packaging, cosmetics, stain-resistant carpeting, firefighting foam, and were recently found in some dental flosses and tampons. Now these chemicals have been found in pesticides, representing yet another route of exposure. But instead of protecting the public, the EPA seems to remain intent on protecting the chemical industry.
Every year, an estimated one billion pounds of pesticides are introduced into the environment. They become part of the air we breathe and settle into the soil and water that grow our food. Pesticides, already suspected of altering the gut microbiome, touch us in ways that other PFAS-tainted products can't. The average person may never encounter firefighting foam, but we all eat, drink, and breathe.
When researchers in Maryland and Massachusetts found multiple PFAS in public mosquito-control sprays, the EPA speculated that these chemicals may come from the containers used to store the pesticides. Investigators zeroed in on the theory that a process called fluorination, used in up to 30 percent of containers made for pesticide storage, also made those containers prone to leaching.
The EPA released a report in early September that confirmed those suspicions. After tests on three brands of fluorinated containers, the EPA found clear indications that PFAS do leach into the pesticides from the container walls, especially the longer they stay in them. The EPA wants further studies, but it did warn companies that make those containers.
There are two other potential ways to explain how PFAS wound up in pesticides, sources that could make container-leaching problems just the tip of the iceberg.
Environmental toxicologist Steve Lasee and a team at Texas Tech University published a separate report on PFAS in pesticides in late summer and, while praising the EPA study and its findings, determined that leaching alone could not account for the PFAS discovered in seven of the 10 common pesticides they examined.
Lasee's team found the types of PFAS typically used to help keep liquids from clogging in valves, raising suspicions that manufacturers may add these chemicals as inert ingredients to make their pesticides easier to spray. The public may never know whether that's happening because inert ingredients in a pesticide are considered trade secrets that manufacturers don't need to disclose.
The EPA maintains a list of allowable inert pesticide ingredients and removed 12 PFAS from that list in September. Pesticide toxicologist Pamela Bryer of the Maine Board of Pesticides Control believes regulators can go further, saying as many as seven other types of PFAS may still be permitted for use. The EPA only says that it continues to evaluate the issue.
Dozens of pesticide ingredients, like those containers, also go through fluorination during manufacturing. That process may qualify those ingredients – and by extension, the pesticides they're in – to be considered PFAS themselves. Keeping those products out of the air and water is difficult because no current regulations ban pesticides with fluorinated ingredients.
The reason PFAS are used so widely is also why they're problematic: PFAS repel grease, make materials stronger and are slow to degrade. They won't break down easily in products, but also don't break down in soil, water, air – or our bodies. Tests suggest most of us have PFAS in our blood.
Medical studies link PFAS to an array of health problems, including reduced immune response, liver damage and endocrine disruption. Perfluorooctanoic acid, the most well-studied member of the PFAS family, is classified as a possible human carcinogen. Another variety, perfluorinate, appears to worsen cases of COVID-19 pneumonia. Two common PFAS varieties are no longer made in the United States, but many others remain.
States Take Legal, Regulatory Action
Many states aren't waiting for the federal government to take dramatic action. The Pew Charitable Trusts' Stateline report indicates 24 states have already launched lawsuits, regulations and plans to phase out PFAS, with the topic expected to be a big issue in many state legislatures next year.
Maine set the trend in 2021, banning PFAS in all new products beginning in 2030, with limited exceptions for essential products lacking viable alternatives. The state of Washington has gone more aggressive, giving regulators authority to start a PFAS phase-out as early as 2025.
Other states favor more targeted approaches. Michigan's work has focused on keeping PFAS out of water. Hawaii law only bans PFAS in food packaging and firefighting foam. Colorado limited their use in a large group of consumer products and in oil and gas production. California also passed limits on PFAS in cosmetics and textiles, but the governor vetoed an additional requirement that would have forced manufacturers to report more data about their products.
Unfortunately, these state actions are necessary due to the EPA's inaction—or rather, the agency's actions to protect industry profits. The agency has developed a "working definition" of PFAS chemicals that excludes thousands of PFAS chemicals that are captured by the definitions used by other scientific bodies. This means more exposure to dangerous chemicals for us, and more profits for chemical and drug manufacturers.
Action Alert! Write to Congress and the EPA, telling them to ban PFAS chemicals. Please send your message immediately.

"A badass superheroine, a sexy smart guy, and the fight of a lifetime"
Three years ago, Zola Noite's nemesis killed her sidekick and forced her to watch. The guilt drove her to hang up her cape. Zola knows one thing for certain, as a result. She will never be a superhero again.
Psychologist Dr. Arturo "Fort" Forte specializes in super-powered mental health. He's the only reason Zola can once again call herself sane—although, truth be told, the heat between them is slowly driving her back to mad.
When three mega-villains escape the prison Fort oversees, all Zola's best laid plans go up in flames. Fort asks her for help, and she can't turn down the man she's come to love. As battles ensue and clues add up, the one thing Zola trusts is called into question: Fort's true agenda and which side he's on.
Purchase: Amazon|B&N
Fort didn't argue. Starting with her boots he took her makeshift costume out of his bag. He had most of it in hand when a pair of cream heels rocketed past his ears.
Zola started stripping. Good god. He crossed himself—or did something roughly resembling crossing himself, as a heathen he'd probably fucked the whole gesture up. He dropped the costume. His jaw dropped too. Why wasn't there a jukebox here? The Steve Miller Band's The Joker would take this whole situation from fortuitous to blessed.
Praise Jesus, her skirt came off. More praises, this time for Buddha, because her jacket had already hit the floor. Blessed be her peach-colored bra and panty set and the glory of lace.
Ahh, sweet peaches. He wanted to shake her tree.
Fort gulped in stereo. What? People didn't gulp in stereo. One of the culinary students had walked in on them and her peaches had hypnotized him too.
"Don't move." Zola told the kid who looked punk (five piercings and a blue-black pompadour) from the neck up but preppy (plaid jacket and khakis) from the neck down.
Fort didn't think the kid planned on moving. He knew he didn't.
She shimmied—mercy—into her body armor, a sort of pearlized, charcoal gray wetsuit. That in place, she looked around.
"Where are my socks?"
He shrugged. What did he know about socks? Bras. Bras he knew well.
"You didn't bring them?" Her tone shifted to incredulous.
"You're wearing your bra," he said.
"My socks, Fort. Why wouldn't you bring my socks?"
"What am I, your wife? I didn't know you needed socks."
She hit him with her blank look. "You're a sad sidekick," she said, exasperated.
A harsh shock of emotions bombarded him at the word sidekick. Zola quelled them as fast as they'd come. Her boots went on, followed by an opened faced balaclava—both matched to her body armor—then goggles. Her charity box hoodie went on last.
A weird noise, somewhere between a grunt and Scooby-Doo broke Fort's concentration. The kid. They'd forgotten about him. "Zola Noite is the Purple Porcine! Crazy."
Zola walked over, took the kid's face in both hands and asked, "You'll keep my secret, won't you? You enjoy breathing, yes?" The kid nodded, held up his mobile phone and said, "Can you strip again? I gotta post it on Facebook."
Disgusted by her inability to strike fear in the hearts of teenagers, Zola turned on her heel and skulked away. Fort whapped the kid on the back of the head and they grinned at each other like idiots.
"Fucking ridiculously hot," The kid said. "And scary."
Fort nodded as he followed Zola out. He wouldn't argue with that. ★
Shirin Dubbin is often called a "chic geek," and she likes the sound of it. Especially since she's a closet wallflower (albeit one with a fabulous alter ego).When not working in graphic design or hosting The Fantastic Forum—a celebration of comics & speculative fiction—she writes stories inspired by the art, literature, international cinema, and anime she grew up with.
In her own storytelling, Shirin spins tales of sci-fi and urban fantasy with romantic edge. The battle between good and evil, humor, and break neck action are ink to her imagination.
Culturally, she's half American, half British and very southern; right down to the accent and love of grits. Government reports show a residence in DC, but Shirin lives largely on the astral plane and hopes to meet you there.

Superpowered Love – The Swag Pack To celebrate the release of my new superhero romance, To the Fifth Power, I've matched the book up with an equally hard hitting, highflying, romanc-a-thon of a swag pack called SuperPowered Lurve. . .and there are snacks too!
Here's what you'll win:
The Amazing Spiderman see clip
First love's first blush is so amazingly adorkable in this movie. There's no doubt Spidey is one of the greatest to ever rock a mask, but the romance here starts off awkward then blooms. That love story and its growth center the movie. Plus, there's spinning and skipping in this clip. D'aww.
To the Fifth Power is the first in the Powers Trilogy. In the series a team of superheroes break into duos to fight very personal battles, and to unwittingly fall in love. I chose The Avengers because it is the linchpin to the love stories in Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, and various versions of The Hulk (incredible or otherwise). And because it hints at a romance I'm anxiously hoping to see: Hawkeye and Black Widow.
Blink* - Doctor Who episode see clip
Whether you're a Doctor Who fan or not, there's no denying the genius of everybody's favorite episode, Blink. It's frightening, heartbreaking, and utterly magnificent. It also features the most perfect love story ever told in 10 minutes or less. Remember this line: "I have until the rain stops…"
Uh huh, this is a movie about a FUBAR superhero. It's also a story of epic love and sacrifice. The three main characters forfeit the most important things in their lives for each other. That's amazing on its on. Also, sexual tension, thy name is Will Smith and Charlize Theron. Pure sizzle.
Never did the words "I love you just the way you are" "stay" take on more meaning than in the romance of Liz Sherman and Hellboy. She's surly as hell and he's from there. Yet somehow we adore them both. Not only does this team up get the job done, they get each other.
There's a line in To the Fifth Power, "So what? Even villains fall in love." In Megamind, a super villain with a huge blue cranium and an ace reporter take us on a classic rock infused joy ride, showing us just how fun the fall can be.
If you've seen Man of Steel and enjoyed it you've got to watch Superman 2, starring Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder. Actually, you've got to see Superman 2 whether you've ever seen another Superman movie or not. Reeve and Kidder have become the prototype for this iconic power couple. Their snappy banter reminds you of a 1930's film and their chemistry will blow up your lab. Bonus: Terrance Stamp as the villain. Oh my Zod!
This Little Piggy* – Justice League Unlimited Episode
The Justice League and Justice League Unlimited animated series told some of the finest DC Comics stories to ever hit screens. I recommend watching both from beginning to end. But, if you're only interested in the romance, Batman and Wonder Woman have a serious love thang going. It's clutch your pearls worthy. In this episode Batman does things we never thought he would to save Wonder Woman from a bad case of being hogtied.
Power Up Snacks
I can't set you loose on a marathon of such epic proportions without offering a few snacks. If you win, you'll also power up with these:
Moose Munch or Popcorn Mix – Misfits TV Series
I'm sad I wasn't able to include the love story of Alisha and Simon from the British television series Misfits. This snack is in honor of them and an ongoing joke about pick n' mix (it's an UK thing).
Tortuga Rum Cake – Hancock
I'll let the movie's hero speak for himself.
Rail Crossing Crowd #2, "I can smell alcohol on your breath!"
Hancock, "That's cause I've been drinking, b--!"
Chocolate and banana chips - Doctor Who
The Tenth Doctor, David Tennant, is featured in the Blink episode above. In his honor we have Endangered Species chocolate (he's the last of the Time Lords, after all) and banana chips—his favorites.
There you have it. Have fun. But use your power wisely.

TBT: Ravens Spoil Cowboys' Final Game At Texas Stadium With 2 Long TD Runs
Nick Eatman
DallasCowboys.com Staff Writer / Senior Manager, Digital Media
The Ravens were the odd choice by the NFL to close out Texas Stadium in 2008, but the AFC opponent made sure to crash the party.
The final game at the Cowboys' home stadium since 1971 didn't turn out the way the home fans would've preferred. Baltimore used a pair of long fourth-quarter touchdown runs by Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain to keep the Cowboys from closing out the stadium in style.
A rookie quarterback named Joe Flacco was steady in leading the Ravens to the win, countering every move by Tony Romo, who was just in his second season as a full-time starter.[embeddedad0]
While the Ravens won the game 33-24, the Cowboys still held quite a celebration afterwards, as many former players returned for an on-field sendoff. Roger Staubach, Randy White, Mel Renfro and Emmitt Smith were among the greats in attendance.
Overall, the Cowboys dropped to 0-4 all-time against the Baltimore Ravens franchise.
