When it comes to their wooden worktops they also use cutting edge tools in their workshop to create sleek and stylish worktops. Creating them in house allows Light Supplier to offer competitive prices their rivals find hard to match for such a quality product.
A team of researchers is experimenting with the production of LED lights that don't only provide ample lighting, but can also ward off insects. The lights will still appear as functional white lights that can benefit human, but with this useful added extra for outdoor lighting, especially in the summer months.
The lights could be particularly beneficial in countries were insect bites don't just mean an itchy and annoying spot, certain types of bug bites can cause infections of some nasty illnesses and diseases, such as malaria.
Most energy efficient bulbs and electronics tend to emit a blue type of light that can attract insects. The researchers have combined LED of differing wavelengths and turned down the amount of blue and green light that is so attractive to the bugs and the result was that the light look white to the human eye and attracted around 20% less insects.

Marpa Lotsawa (མར་པ་ལོ་ཙཱ་བ་ཆོས་ཀྱི་བློ་གྲོས་, 1012–1097), sometimes known fully as Marpa Chokyi Lodro (Wylie: mar pa chos kyi blo gros) or commonly as Marpa the Translator (Marpa Lōtsawa), was a Tibetan Buddhist teacher credited with the transmission of many Vajrayana teachings from India, including the teachings and lineages of Mahamudra. Due to this the Kagyu lineage, which he founded, is often called Marpa Kagyu in his honour.
Although some accounts relate that the Mahasiddha Naropa was the personal teacher of Marpa, other accounts suggest that Marpa held Naropa's lineage through intermediary disciples only. Either way, Marpa was a personal student of the Mahasiddha Maitripa and of the dakini Niguma.
Born as Marpa Chökyi Lodrö, in Lhodrak Chukhyer in the southern part of Tibet, to an affluent family, he began studying at a young age but was wild and untamed compared to other children. Marpa first received instruction for three years at Mangkhar with Drokmi Shakya Yeshe and mastered Sanskrit. He decided to travel to India to study with renowned Indian Buddhist masters. His first trip to Nepal and India was in the company of Nyo Lōtsawa, whom he attended as a servant. Marpa returned home to Lhodrak and converted his entire inheritance into gold to fund his travel expenses and to make offerings to teachers.
Marpa journeyed first to Nepal where he studied with Paindapa and Chitherpa, two famous students of Naropa. Paindapa later accompanied Marpa to Pullahari, near Nalanda University, where Naropa taught. Marpa spent twelve years studying with Naropa and other great Indian gurus, most prominently Maitripada. After twelve years he set forth on his journey back to Tibet to teach and continue his dharma activities.
Marpa was to travel to India twice more and Nepal three more times and studied with Naropa and other great teachers including Maitripa. He is said to have stayed in the cave at Phugtal Monastery. On his third visit to India, Naropa, who was engaged in tantric practices, proved difficult to find. However eventually Marpa found him and received the final teachings and instructions from Naropa. It was then that Naropa prophesied that a family lineage would not continue for Marpa, but that his lineage would be carried on by his disciples. Marpa now had received the full transmission, so Naropa formally declared Marpa to be his successor although he had other major disciples including Paindapa, Chitherpa, Shri Shantibhadra or Kukuripa, and Maitripa.
Upon his return to Tibet, Marpa spent many years translating Buddhist scriptures and made a major contribution to the transmission of the complete buddhadharma to Tibet. Marpa continued to practice and give teachings and transmissions to many students in Tibet. After his second visit to India Milarepa became his disciple. After the death of Marpa's son, Darma Dode, Milarepa inherited his lineage in full. Marpa lived with his wife Dakmema and their sons in Lhodrak in the southern part of Tibet. Marpa is said to have founded Stongdey Monastery in Zanskar in 1052 CE.

Many of you, like me, probably remember when Perry used to have a railway instead of a bike trail. There used to be the whistle of a train near every-day and cars would have to wait for the trains to pass. The Milwaukee Road, as evidenced in the art in the Hotel Pattee, used to pass through here as well. In fact, I found some interesting pictures about the Milwaukee Road in our collection!
First, we have a picture of the last Milwaukee train to leave Perry on March 23, 1980 at 6 P.M. Although not that interesting of a photo, it shows the slow progress of the railroad leaving Perry. The next photo, however, creates some questions for me. The picture is also of the Milwaukee Road, but has a note that says it is the "Rip" Track Area. From the looks of the picture, it seems to be an empty road, with a bit of track near the bottom of the picture. This is where my questions start! I looked up what a "Rip" track is supposed to be and according to Wikipedia it is short for "repair inspect paint" track. Yet to me, it seems like there is no track here! In addition, the picture is dated to 1980, the same year when the last Milwaukee train left Perry! Perhaps this means that it is the ripping up of the train tracks in this area? It would definitely appear this way, since the area is covered in dirt and the track at the bottom is covered up. However, I do not know for sure, as our database does not provide much information. Since this happened in 1980, perhaps some of you readers may know? If you do, please let us know in the comments, and join us next week for another blog post!
Hello and welcome back to the Hometown Heritage!
The date is August 6, 1902, and you are boarding the train on the Milwaukee line heading to Milwaukee. It is a sunny afternoon, and everything seems normal. As you board the train, you can see engineers and other workers rushing around preparing the train for departure. As the whistle blows signaling the train will be leaving the station soon, you hurry toward your seat and place your baggage above you on the rack. You then settle into your seat, ready for what you assume will be a standard trip on the train. Little do you know, this train will never make it to its final stop.
An hour or so passes on the train, and everything seems normal. People talk in hushed tones around you, keeping mostly to themselves. The conductor, having collected all the tickets, returns from the back of the train, heading toward the front. As you watch him walk past, you wonder what he does during the trip and admire his fancy hat, but soon return to the book you brought with you. More time passes, and you hear the train whistle blow loudly as the train pulls into the station. Seeing that this is the station at Collins, you return to your book, not paying much attention to those boarding and disembarking. Your eyes grow heavy, and soon you fall asleep as the train pulls out of the station.
The train lets out an ear-piercing whistle, jarring you awake. You look out the window, and are surprised to see that the train is not near a station at all. Another shrill whistle sounds, and it fills you with a sense of urgency. You try to lean as close to the window as you can to get a glimpse of what is ahead, but you cannot see anything. A third whistle sounds: now other people on the train are starting to talk. Everyone can feel something in the air, but no one knows what exactly it is. A fourth whistle, even more urgent sounding than the third, and suddenly you are thrown from your seat as the sound of metal crashing into metal fills the air. Chaos ensues as people are flung about the train. Your head pounds, and as you put your hand to your temple you feel a hot, sticky liquid and pull your hand back to see your fingers coated in red. The conductor, his clothes a mess and without his hat, comes back through the train, asking people to quickly and quietly leave the train. You do as he asks, and as you move down the train you seem some people following his advice, while others sit eerily still. Once off the train and a fair distance away, you look and it finally dawns upon you that you have just survived a horrible train wreck, one in which some people will not be leaving alive.
Although this may not have been exactly how it happened, a train wreck did occur on August 6, 1902 between Collins and Rhodes Iowa. As you can see in the picture, the locomotive is in a bad state, having just run into a work train. Nine people, including an engineer from Perry, died in the crash. Although our records do not state the exact details of the crash, it seems likely that the work train was not supposed to be on the tracks. In reality, only those on the train could have known what truly happened, but who knows, maybe my description is closer than I think!
As a reminder, the next Gary Ernest Smith event is on October 13th at the Hotel Pattee from 4:30 – 6:30! This time Adrienne Gennett, the Assistant Curator of Collections and Education at University Museums in ISU will be here! I hope to see you there!
Hello and welcome back to the Hometown Heritage Blog readers!
As many of you know, Perry used to be a big place for trains. We used to have the Interurban Railroad, a roundhouse, and more. The trains would transport people and goods back and forth along the tracks; but what would happen when a train came off the tracks? Would it still be useful?
Many of you may be surprised to know that the answer is yes! Recently I found a very peculiar picture that was taken around 1945 on the farm of Carl Hansen. As you can see, there is a steam engine that looks very strange. Apparently, what has happened is that Carl has converted the engine into a hay thrasher. He did this by changing the wheels of the train so that it no longer needed tracks and could drive freely. He also most likely attached something to the back of the engine that would do the thrashing. What really gets me thinking, however, is how Carl got the engine to his farm in the first place! Did he modify it at the train station, or did he find a way to drag it all the way to his farm? Perhaps the answer lies in the strange belt that is attached to the engine that goes out of frame? We may never know.
Before I go, I want to mention that last night we had a great Opening Reception for the Gary Ernest Smith Exhibition! Do not fret if you missed your chance to come and get a tour, as we will have more introductory tours on September 1, from 4:30 to 6:30 P.M. at the Hotel Pattee. Also in September there is a big event happening on the 22nd here in Perry. That night starting at 6:30 P.M., Dr. Pam Jenkins will be in town giving a lecture related to the art, and Gary Ernest Smith himself will be here to give an art walk! Mark it on your calendars now!

What do you do when you finish working with your laptop? Do you turn it off? Put it to sleep? Just close the lid and walk away?
Many people might not realize that what they do when leaving their laptop unattended, even a laptop with full disk encryption, can cause serious security headaches. .
Olle and his fellow cyber security consultant Pasi Saarinen recently discovered a new way to physically hack into PCs. According to their research, this method will work against nearly all modern computers. This includes laptops from some of the world's biggest vendors like Dell, Lenovo, and even Apple.
And because these computers are everywhere, Olle and Pasi are sharing their research with companies like Microsoft, Apple and Intel, but also the public. The pair are presenting their research at the SEC-T conference in Sweden on September 13, and at Microsoft's BlueHat v18 in the US on September 27.
You can watch the talks at SEC-T below to get all the details or read on if you want to know what all the fuss is about!
Basically, Olle and Pasi discovered a weakness in how computers protect firmware. The researchers say that attackers able to gain physical access to a targeted computer can exploit this weakness to perform a successful cold boot attack, allowing them to steal encryption keys and other sensitive information.
Cold boot attacks aren't new. They were developed by a research group back in 2008. Those researchers found that when a computer is reset without following proper procedures (what's known as a cold/hard reboot), they could steal information that briefly remains in the memory (RAM) after the device loses power.
Because cold boot attacks are nothing new, there have been developments to make them less effective. One safeguard created by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) was to overwrite the contents of the RAM when the power was restored.
And that's where Olle and Pasi's research comes in. The two experts figured out a way to disable this overwrite feature by physically manipulating the computer's hardware. Using a simple tool, Olle and Pasi learned how to rewrite the non-volatile memory chip that contains these settings, disable memory overwriting, and enable booting from external devices. Cold boot attacks can then be carried out by booting a special program off a USB stick.
Cold boot attacks are a known method of obtaining encryption keys from devices. But the reality is that attackers can get their hands on all kinds of information using these attacks. Passwords, credentials to corporate networks, and any data stored on the machine are at risk.
While cold boot attacks aren't exactly simple to carry out and require the right tools, as well as physical access to the device, it's a known technique amongst hackers. And since Olle and Pasi's attack can be effective against nearly all modern laptops, it means hackers have a consistent, reliable way to compromise their targets.
And Olle thinks there's no easy fix available to PC vendors, so it's something companies and end users will have to deal with on their own.
Olle and Pasi shared their research with Microsoft, Intel, and Apple. All three companies are exploring possible mitigation strategies they can provide. Olle and Pasi also helped Microsoft updated their guidance on Bitlocker countermeasures. And according to Apple, Macs equipped with an Apple T2 Chip contain security measures designed to protect devices from attacks like Olle and Pasi's. Apple also recommends users set a firmware password to help harden Macs without a T2 chip.
In the end, Olle says it's up to device manufacturers to strengthen the security of desktops and laptops to help protect them from attacks like these. But he also acknowledges this is not going to be easy. And it's not going to be fast.
Companies will struggle to find a reliable way to prevent or block the cold boot attack once an attacker with the right know-how gets their hands on a laptop. But companies can configure laptops so that an attacker using a cold boot attack won't find anything to steal.
Other security measures include raising awareness about the attack among companies and workers.
"Sometimes the most important way to tackle a security problem is to simply let people know it exists. A little awareness building can work wonders," says Olle.
Finally, Olle advises companies to have an incident response plan ready and rehearsed to deal with lost or stolen computers.

I have a FreeNAS box and want to create a FreeBSD jail for custodial scripts to manage files on various datasets in my main zpool. I want the jail to be able to move files across datasets so I would prefer to not mount via a network share. I want to put these scripts into a jail so I can install extra ports to help me out with building various toolsets for my scripts. The issue I am seeing is being able to access my zpool from the jail.
I was able to accomplish this by mounting datasets individually rather than the entire zpool. This prevents the source path from being within the mount path.


The word rarely turns up outside that context.
The word rarely turns up outside of that context.
Outside of tends to be more commonly used in the US than in Britain, where outside usually suffices, but, like its cousin off of, it is colloquial and not recommended for formal writing. … The adverb outside is not problematic when referring to physical space, position , etc. (I'm going outside), but the compound preposition outside of is often used as a colloquial (and often inferior) way of saying except for, other than, apart from (outside of what I just mentioned, I can't think of any reason not to). Besides possibly sounding more informal than desired, outside of may cause misunderstanding by suggesting physical space or location when that is not the point to be emphasized, or when no such sense is intended — consider the ambiguity in this sentence: outside of China, he has few interests. Does this mean that his primary interest is China? Or does it mean that whenever he is not in China, he has few interests?
'Outside of' grates on my ear too! The 'of' is superfluous - and I was brought up to believe that brevity is the key to good writing: so unnecessary words should be omitted.
Let's consider two sentences: 1. Outside/Outside of Norway, the world's largest Norse community is in Minnesota. 2. The cemetery is located outside/outside of the town. In these two sentences, the term outside/outside of is used in two different ways. In the first sentence it means "apart from" or "anywhere other than in." Because the synonymous phrase ends with a preposition, the best term here is "outside of." In the second sentence it means "beside" or "alongside." The best term here, I think, is "outside." To summarize, if you could substitute the words "apart from" or other than in," use "outside of." If you could substitute the word "beside" or "alongside," use "outside." I hope this is helpful.

Urban beehives and inner-city "green" spaces are nothing new. But a report released last week by ecologists from around the world suggests that rather than doing right by those agriculture-saving bees and butterflies, urban conservation programmes actually place more value in their social conscience. And it's coming at the expense of our ecosystems.
However, the report, which was published in Conservation Biology journal, does highlight the huge potential that city spaces have for promoting biodiversity and crop pollination if the right plants and flowers are used.
The study argues that while "advances in pollinator conservation in rural landscapes are proliferating across governance scales," but urban spaces must not be overlooked.
Whether we focus on the town or the country, one thing's for sure: the pollinators need us. Seventy percent of the UK's crops are dependent on a rapidly declining bee population.
MUNCHIES reached out to Dr. Mick Hanley, ecologist at Plymouth University and one of the study's co-authors, to find out more about why making our cities more bee-friendly is crucial for crop production.
MUNCHIES: Hi Mick, what's the focus of your work? Dr. Mick Hanley: A lot of the work that I've been doing recently is looking at ways that we can better synergise the need to produce food with maintaining the pollinator communities that will also help us keep producing food.
As most people know, there's a decline in pollinators [like bees and butterflies] of all sorts over the last 70 years or more. We've gone from a position which Darwin talks about—spotting bumblebees and butterflies which now we consider to be quite rare floating around his back garden—to the point we're at now with a depauperate pollinator community.
It's pretty evident that one of the main causes of this has been habitat loss, which is mostly (and I don't want to sound like I'm farmer-bashing) due to farming. We've gone from the nice, flowery meadows that farmers used to have before World War II to high-intensity, silage production where you just produce grass, grass, grass with no flowery plants in the meadows. Hedgerows are being rubbed out to make fields bigger for arable crops. We've lost a lot of habitat that was forage for pollinators as well as providing nest sites and breeding sites.
If you start to lose pollinators, there's the inherent biodiversity loss but also the fact they provide a very key service to us in terms of pollinating food plants.
Where do urban spaces come in? The obvious thing has always been to focus on the countryside because that's where everybody, including ecologists, have always thought the biodiversity is. What we've done recently is work out that actually there's an awful lot going on in towns and cities. In many cases, you only need to walk around people's gardens and you see that there are more different species of flowering plants and trees, and more potential for nest sites for bumblebees than you could find in an equivalent area in the countryside.
Now we've started to realise that maybe there's stuff in towns and cities that we need to look at in its own right in terms of conservation.
So, could I just plant any old thing to encourage bees? One of the things I worked on a few years ago was looking at which particular types of garden plants bumblebees in towns and cities prefer to feed on.
We need to go beyond the sticky plaster of "We need to feel better so we're putting a bit of grass in that corner to make up for the fact that we just built a Tesco here."
The answer is a little bit complex because you get certain general pollinators that by their very nature will feed on anything but the species that are declining generally across Britain and Europe are declining specifically because they have very close associations with plants that they co-evolved with.
For example, the garden bumblebee, which isn't rare but is probably the least common of the common species and in decline, is a long-tongued bee. The long-tongued species are absolutely dependent on flowers with long corollas [trumpet-shaped flowers] in order to feed. They can't feed very well off things like daisies so things like plants like foxgloves are absolutely essential for them. If everybody plants foxgloves, which also look great, you've massively increased the food potential for that species in Britain.
The report says that "urban conservation programs that historically have invested in education and outreach rather than programs designed to achieve high-priority species conservation results." How do you go about changing their focus? We need to go beyond the sticky plaster of "We need to feel better so we're putting a bit of grass in that corner to make up for the fact that we just built a Tesco here." Yes, absolutely we should get Tesco to pay their pound of flesh for trashing somewhere but it's no good just doing it for the sake of doing it.
Biodiversity needs to be incorporated into urban planning in a much more strategic way than has been done so far.
We're appealing to other academics to not ignore urban environments. Let's look at them as part of an integrated conservation framework that includes the urban and the rural. It's a call that we need people with the money—the policymakers, local councils, governments—to start thinking about planning with ecologists to further the development of these pollinator communities.
We need to think outside the box a bit more.
How does the knock-on effect work for rural areas if the pollinators are concentrated in urban space? Firstly, there's been a big move in urban environments for people to have allotments and grow their own food which is probably only going to increase. At the individual and co-operative level, keeping pollinators healthy and active within cities is possibly more important than it's ever been to pollinate food crops.
The question is whether we'll get spillovers from the cities into rural environments to help service crops that need pollinating. Some pollinators will travel five or ten kilometres in order visit plants and then take pollen and nectar back to nests. Obviously, if your farm is 30 or 40 kilometres away from a city, that's not really going to help. But long term, you could use these pollinator communities in cities to repopulate the rural environment. But only if we start to manage the rural environment in a more sympathetic way.
Now we've got satellites whizzing around the planet, we're in a really strong position to map the environment really precisely. If we've got an idea of how far pollinators can spill over from a site, we can strategically say, "OK we need to set up a wildflower meadow here because this pollinator community will spill over and join up with the next one 5 kilometres up the road, and the next one, and the next one."
That's going to take an awful lot of planning and input from the Government because it's a national thing. But it could theoretically be done.
What do you hope people will take from the report? It's getting the people with the power to realise there's an issue that needs to be addressed and we need to incorporate proper ecological planning—not just for the sake of biodiversity, for the sake of the services that ecology gives back to us as a species.
One of the great fears within conservation in Britain as a consequence of Brexit is that we've had European legislation that has increasingly targeted encouraging farmers to farm for conservation. It's not at all clear how, post-Brexit, the British Government will subsidise farming in this country. If we go back to this whole situation of paying farmers to grow certain stuff, they're not going to manage the environment in the most ecologically sympathetic way.
It'll take more research to understand exactly what the problems are and what the solutions could be. But it's that, plus bothering to ask ecologists and experts how we can better integrate ecosystem services and biodiversity into town planning.
Thanks for talking with me, Mick.

The 7 Ancient Wonders
The idea to compile a list of the world's most amazing places and things goes back to ancient times. The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World was a collection of spectacular ancient sights that were described by authors in guidebooks and poems of the time.
Of those original Seven Wonders, only one, the Great Pyramid of Giza, still stands.
One of the Seven Wonders may not have even existed—there's speculation that the Hanging Gardens of Babylon where merely the subject of myth.
Most of the wonders, however, are quite tangible, in that there's significant historical and archeological evidence pointing to what they looked like, when they were built, and who built them. The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus is a good example. In the 19th century, British archaeologists were able to locate the structure's walls, a staircase, and corners of the foundation.
That old tomb is a good place to start. Read on to learn more about the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, and the other Wonders of the Ancient World.
The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
Reconstitutions of the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus.
The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, which was built between 353 and 350 BC, in present-day Turkey, was a tomb built for a Persian provincial governor and his wife. Designed by the Greek architects Satyros and Pythius of Priene, the Mausoleum was about 148 ft tall, with ornate sides featuring sculptural reliefs.
Like other ancient wonders, the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus was destroyed by a series of earthquakes. It happened between the 12th and 15th century.
Colossus of Rhodes, artist's impression, 1880
The Colossus of Rhodes was built around 280 BC, by Chares of Lindos, on the Greek island of Rhodes. The massive statue of the Greek sun-god, Helios, was constructed in celebration of Rhodes' victory over the ruler of Cyprus.
It was the tallest statue of the ancient world, standing about as high as the Statue of Liberty.
The Colossus of Rhodes loomed over the port city for 54 years, until, in 226 BC, it broke at the knees, collapsing as the result of an earthquake, which also destroyed the harbor and many buildings.
In El Giza, Egypt sits the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Great Pyramid of Giza. It's also the only one you can still visit.
The Great Pyramid is the oldest and largest of three pyramids on the site. It's made from limestone and granite, and towers 481 ft high. That may not seem tall by today's standards, but it was enough to make the Great Pyramid of Giza the tallest man-made structure in the world, and it held that record for 3,800 years!
Scientists think the pyramid was built as a tomb around 2560 BC and that construction took between 10 and 20 years. It has three interior chambers, the lowest being cut into the ground, with the Queen's Chamber and King's Chamber situated higher in the structure.
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, supposedly built around 605-562 BC, in present day Iraq, consisted of a cleverly engineered series of tiered gardens featuring trees, shrubs, and vines.
The Gardens' construction has been credited to various members of Babylonian royalty, but very little is actually known about the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
Their location is not known, and there's no archaeological evidence that they even existed. Scholars have come to believe that they were either completely mythical, they existed but were destroyed around the first century AD, or that historical references to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon are, in fact, referring to a different garden that was known to be built by the Assyrian King Sennacherib in Nineveh.
The Lighthouse of Alexandria
The Lighthouse of Alexandria was built by the Ptolemaic Kingdom around 280–247 BC. Towering 330 ft, it held the distinction of being one of the tallest man-made structures in the world for centuries.
Taking twelve years to erect, the Lighthouse was an impressive achievement and was a prototype for lighthouses around the world. The light came from a furnace located at the top.
Images of the structure were added to coins minted in Alexandria in the second century.
Three earthquakes occurred between AD 956 and 1323 that badly damaged the Lighthouse of Alexandria, and it turned into an abandoned ruin. To the builder's credit, it stood longer than four of the other ancient wonders, bested by only the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Statue of Zeus
The Statue of Zeus, constructed around 435 BC in Greece, had the god seated on an ornate throne. It was about 43 ft tall and made, in part, from ivory and gold.
A Greek sculptor named Phidias had a reputation for making great statues, with his huge statue of Athena Parthenos in the Parthenon being a prime example. So, when the Eleans, custodians of the Olympic Games, wanted to commission a statue that would show up their rivals in Athens, they contacted Phidias.
He built the Statue of Zeus using as wooden frame covered with ivory plates and gold panels, and Zeus' throne was decorated with precious stones, ebony, and more ivory and gold.
The Temple of Artemis was a Greek temple dedicated to an ancient goddess. Artemis was honored with shrines, temples, and festivals all over the ancient Greek world, but the Ephesians, who built Temple of Artemis, felt that the goddess belonged exclusively to them, resenting others' devotion.
The temple was situated in present-day Turkey. Over the ages, it was rebuilt three times. The first version of the temple dates to the Bronze Age; construction of the final iteration started around 323 BC. By 401 AD, the Temple of Artemis had fallen for the last time.

So it finally feels like Summer may be upon us. Well, we may not be having beautiful sunny days one after the other in England, but I can always feel Summers arrival when I start leaving the house without a coat, sleeping with the window open, and when my skin starts to feel a little more dehydrated than usual.
I have said before, and always will, that keeping your hydration levels up in warmer weather by drinking lots of water is vital. I drink no less than two litres a day, and I can feel the benefits in my skin. However, sometimes drinking water alone isn't enough. Increased exposure to the sun, changes in temperature and humidity, the polluted city air, and the use of air conditioning units pretty much everywhere I go, contribute to the drying out of my skin, leaving it thirsty for something more.
By introducing hydration boosting products into my daily skincare regime, I manage to keep on top of all the obstacles trying to dry out my skin. I was first introduced to Clinique's Moisture Surge Range back in January this year. As a beauty blogger I sample a tonne of skincare products, but have found myself repeatedly reaching for the following products recently, as I love how instantly refreshed, supple and hydrated my skin feels afterwards.
I start by applying the Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief to my face, neck and décolletage in the mornings, after I've cleansed. Sometimes I apply it over my regular moisturiser, to add extra hydration and help lock in moisture, or sometimes if I'm in a rush or don't want to use too many products on my face, I'll use it alone. After using this, my skin feels immediately quenched. The gorgeous cream-gel formula is unbelievably lightweight and instantly absorbs into the skin. You know how some products leave your skin feeling heavy and almost sticky? After using this, you can't even tell that you've used any product at all, except of course that the skin is beautifully soft and supple. The formula feels so amazing that applying it actually becomes a little addictive! This is actually an updated version of the original Thirsty Skin Relief, with all the primary benefits, only enhanced to deliver hydration faster and prolong it further. The result leaves me with gorgeously soft, hydrated skin, giving me the perfect base for makeup. Dry skin = patchy foundation and nobody wants that! It's also perfect to pop in your handbag and apply over your face during the day when your skin feels a bit tight- the relief is much the same as drinking a nice, cold glass of water when you're thirsty. Oh and speaking of cold, try popping the cream in the fridge before you use it- you'll never have felt so refreshed!
When I'm out and about in London during the day, my skin often needs a little pick me up. There are many facial sprays out there, but many leave skin feeling sticky and clammy, and lots are just plain water, which give an instant relief from dehydration, but don't penetrate the skin to really retain the moisture. The Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray is essentially a liquid moisturiser in a spray bottle. Unscented and oil-free, the ultra fine mist absorbs super quickly (like, ten seconds!) into the skin with no residue, and doesn't affect makeup at all, so it's the perfect quick fix for on the go when your skin is feeling thirsty.
For the last couple of months, the Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask has had a staple position in my evening skincare routine. I like to cleanse my face very thoroughly to remove all makeup and dirt from the day, which leaves my skin feeling horribly dry and tight. I love smoothing on a generous application of this gorgeous, creamy mask. Is there a nicer feeling than going to bed with beautiful clean, soft skin? And on top of that, actually waking up with clean soft skin? I never wake up with a dry, dehydrated face after using this, as it hydrates so deeply into the skin. Fragrance and oil free, it's amazing how moisturising the product is, whilst still avoiding being heavy or sticky on the skin. I use this every night, to make sure my skin is always plumped and supple (no one wants to be dry and wrinkly!). Hydrating your skin will not only improve it's current condition and appearance, but also help tackle premature ageing, so I always pay a little more attention to massaging areas that are more prone to dryness and therefore wrinkles, such as my forehead.
As young ladies in 2016, we put a lot of strain on our skin, so it's important to replenish the moisture lost in our busy day to day lives. I would absolutely recommend the Clinique Moisture Surge range as a total staple for skin hydration. Remember, it's not only you that needs a drink when you're thirsty- it's your skin too!

I bought that product too and its fantastic! I LOVE IT !
I really wanna try all of these products! They sound so amazing!
That packaging looks like it was made just for you!
Thank you so much for sharing! I have been trying to find the right product for my very sensitive skin, this may work! Living in AZ during the summer on days when it hits 120* nothing helps! Great work!
I really want to try the Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray! Sounds fabulous!
That facial spray sounds great, I have been on the hunt for a new one and think this could defiantly be the one, thank you!
ps. I love your blog, its beautiful!

Rather than a rigid wall of trees or a hedge, planting buffers offer screening of different plants set at varying depths for more gardenesque appeal.
Buffer zone planting is an attractive solution because it doesn't sacrifice foundation planting for screening. Foundation planters are designed along a fence line to separate it from the lawn for easier maintenance. The buffer zone is simply a wider fence line foundation planting that positions large trees and shrubs in a way that interrupts the view with foliage masses at various depths in the field. The irregular composition is far more gardenesque, foiling the rectangular shape of a yard rather than emphasizing it as with a tree row. The buffer also allows for greater diversity in the planting for color combinations or various orchard trees.
Tradeoffs: Due to the depths of the planting area, you might find some gaps in the screening from some vantage points in the yard. It's important to position all plants exactly to ensure they do their job.

Bus backflip
It is hardly surprising the State Government decided to kill off its "once-in-a-generation" bus network reforms given the severity of public backlash.
The changes would have seen about 1000 general-use bus stops removed or used only as school stops, and dozens of routes cut or restructured – including axing Nairne's only direct link to the Adelaide CBD.
The proposals were met with public outrage and led several Liberal MPs – including Kavel's Dan Cregan – to stand with their communities rather than meekly going along with the restructure.
Having no doubt spent a tremendous amount of money, time and resources developing the reforms, the ensuing backlash and prompt dismissal of those plans created instant embarrassment for the Government.
However, it was at least astute enough to realise the potential longer term fallout and respond swiftly.
For it to completely drop the sweeping changes just two weeks into a six-week public consultation period, it clearly saw that pushing the reforms through would have led to increased community disapproval and likely future turmoil within the Party itself.
Governments are sometimes forced to make decisions that are deeply unpopular and it is remarkable that Premier Steven Marshall came to the conclusion just a few days after the initial announcement that these much-vaunted improvements to the public transport system were not worth the political pain.
Let's hope the Government has not lost its courage to strive for future reforms to improve the public transport system.
If there is any good to come from the debacle it must be that the Government learns how to better communicate its vision.
Transport Minister Stephan Knoll must wear much of the responsibility for this failure as his less-than-honest sales pitch treated the public as fools.
Saying people were not interested in the bigger picture of the proposed changes and were only interested in what was happening to the bus stop at the end of their street, is arrogant in the extreme.
His attempt to mislead people into thinking only 500 stops would be affected when the reality was about 1000 not only allowed mistrust to fester in the community, it gave the Opposition a free hit for two weeks.
Intelligent, honest and humble politicians are what the community wants.
Mr Marshall needs to ensure the Member for Schubert works on his skillset.

If you are interested in playing for Canterbury, please let us know!
The educational experience at Canterbury extends itself to the basketball program, where focus is placed on sportsmanship, discipline, and determination. Our goal is not only to develop the athlete's basketball skills but also to encourage true sportsmanship and a sincere appreciation for competition. The Boys' Varsity Basketball team participates in the very competitive New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), which is recognized as one of the top conferences in the nation and is a member of the Tri-State League. The Saints captured the NEPSAC Class B New England Championship in 2015 and have reached the semifinals or better a handful of times since 2013.
Graduates of the Canterbury basketball program have gone on to play at Babson, Dartmouth, Hampton, Louisville, Marist, Princeton, and Williams, as well as many other NCAA universities.
Head Coach Brian Baudinet
Brian Baudinet has served as head coach of Boys' Varsity Basketball since fall 2017. Prior to his arrival at Canterbury, Baudinet coached extensively at the collegiate and professional ranks. Most recently, he spent three years as an Assistant Coach at Atlantic 10 Conference member Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA. While there he helped develop several players that have gone on to play professionally including Micah Mason who finished his career with the 6th highest 3 point field goal percentage in NCAA Division 1 history. In addition to his player development duties, he was also responsible for opponent scouting and recruiting players from all around the globe.
In his two seasons as the Head Coach, the Saints have compiled a 41-12 overall record, including a 15-3 record against Tri-State League opponents and a 19-3 mark against NEPSAC Class B competition. In 2018-19, he guided the Saints to a 21-6 record advancing all the way to the Class B Championship game for just the second time in school history. Three players were named to the Class B All-League Team.In 2017-18, the team finished with a record of 20-6 and advanced to the Class B Semifinals. The team also won the Tri-State League Championship for just the 3rd time in school history. For the season, two players were voted to the Class B All-League Team.
Baudinet's experience includes serving as an Assistant Coach for the Tulsa 66ers- the D-League affiliate for the Oklahoma City Thunder, which included time in Oklahoma City with the NBA team and in Tulsa with the D-League team. While there, Baudinet was responsible for the development of the frontcourt players and for opponent scouting and preparation. He worked extensively with current OKC Thunder starter Andre Roberson, as well as former NBA players Reggie Williams, Dominic McGuire, Mustafa Shakur and Grant Jerrett.
Before his time in the Midwest, Baudinet had a brief stint as an Assistant Coach at Division II member American International College in Springfield, MA. His time there was preceded by three years as an Assistant at NESCAC member Trinity College in Hartford, CT. While there, Baudinet recruited the Northeast extensively and was responsible for recruiting the players that brought Trinity to back to back NCAA Division III tournaments including a trip to the Elite 8. Among the players Baudinet recruited were a NESCAC Player of the Year, a NESCAC Defensive Player of the Year, and four All-NESCAC performers.
Baudinet also spent time assisting at The Pro Training Center in Clearwater, FL during July of 2014 where he worked with several professional players including former NBA All-Star Kevin Martin, Omri Casspi, and Gal Mekel.
In addition to his coaching experience Baudinet is also a co-founder of Fab Four Sports, LLC which runs summer basketball camps. He also has worked extensively with the Hoop Group, as a coach and counselor at camps and showcases.

Henry Willis (1860-1950), politician, was born on 6 April 1860 at Port Adelaide, South Australia, son of John Willis, a mariner from England, and his wife Jane, née Emmerson. Educated at the local grammar school where he won distinction as a debater, Henry later worked in his father's tannery at Hindmarsh. A committee-member of the South Australian Literary Societies' Union, from 1884 he was a member of its first, second and fourth parliaments. By 1885 Willis had established his own tannery at Hindmarsh and 'got in early into Broken Hill silver mines'. He served on Hindmarsh Municipal Council (1884-86) and the local board of health.
Arriving in Sydney in 1888 intending to study for the Church of England ministry, Willis married Annie Louisa Moore on 20 September 1889 at St Peter's Church, Campbelltown; they were to have five children. He launched into municipal politics: he was first mayor of Cabramatta and Canley Vale (1893), served on the Camden (from 1897) and Randwick (1899-1902) councils, and strongly advocated unification at the 1900 Metropolitan Municipal Reform Conference. Meanwhile, he read the lives of famous statesmen and joined the Sydney School of Arts Debating Club.
Elected to the House of Representatives for Robertson in 1901, Willis supported (Sir) George Reid's Free-Trade government. Re-elected in 1903 and 1906, he was defeated in 1910, but was returned in October to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly as a Liberal for the Upper Hunter.
In July 1911 Labor lost its majority of one in the assembly and sought an Opposition member as Speaker. Believing the position to be non-partisan, Willis was persuaded to offer himself to avert an unnecessary dissolution. He became Speaker on 24 August 1911 amid a twenty-four-hour opening sitting marked by unprecedented scenes of disorder and violence. Convinced that he had betrayed the party, his fellow Liberals vilified him as a 'Judas' and 'political leper'.
Having observed parliaments in Europe and embraced the ideals of Robert Lowe, Willis acted to protect the privileges and dignity of parliament and its members by enlarging the Speaker's powers. He claimed authority to remove members, censor their speeches and questions, and to exclude journalists from the press gallery; he also reconstructed the reporting department, established a separate department for the sergeant-at-arms, appointed a full-time secretary to the Speaker and reorganized the duties of clerical officers. His reforms, however, were ephemeral.
Such measures inflamed both Liberal and Labor members. In one incident in September 1911, when the sergeant-at-arms had failed, Willis called in the police to eject seven Liberals for continued disorder in the House. Unduly censorious on occasions, he incurred several civil actions for assault and illegal ejection (including a successful one by John Perry in 1911). Dubbed 'a putty Napoleon', Willis was repeatedly caricatured and ridiculed as a figure of folly throughout his 'reign of terror'. His overbearing presence and insensitive manner alienated support. Possessing 'audacious vanity' and supreme self-confidence, he faced increasing press and parliamentary indignation. He resigned on 22 July 1913, dispirited that the terms on which he had accepted the Speakership had still not been honoured, and was defeated at the next election.
A sturdily-built man of middle height, clean-shaven, with a dark, sunburnt face, close-cropped grey hair, a game leg and a 'child-like' smile, Willis personified one Victorian ideal of the cultivated gentleman. He was well read, and noted for his literary and satirical eloquence in parliament. An enthusiastic yachtsman, he lived in a house built in 1903-05 at Middle Harbour and named Innisfallen Castle, after a ruined abbey at Killarney, Ireland. Before retiring, he devoted time to his Queensland cattle property, Kooringa Downs, Roma, one of the four estates he owned. Survived by his wife, a son and two daughters, Willis died at his Middle Harbour home on 23 February 1950 and was buried in Northern Suburbs cemetery. His estate was sworn for probate at £621.

'I will live and not die.' Former Volusia School Board member survives COVID-19
Mark Harper
For the last month and a half, Melody Johnson has found herself on the other side of health care.
A 52-year-old physician assistant and former Volusia County School Board member, Johnson became a patient, battling COVID-19 in the intensive-care unit of Halifax Health | UF Health Medical Center of Deltona. She got to the point where she couldn't walk more than a few steps without being out of breath, of coughing so loud and so long she felt the need to apologize to the hospital staff.
"I truly prayed a lot and talked with God and begged Him at times," she said. "I would beg Him so I would not have to cough."
She estimates that during the first seven months of the coronavirus pandemic, she helped give COVID-19 tests to as many as 5,000 people as part of her job at a Port Orange urgent-care center.
Then, in mid-October she traveled to Ohio to visit with far-flung family. At a dinner party held indoors, she went without a mask and hugged people. Six of the attendees contracted the virus from the seventh person.
She began experiencing symptoms — a tight cough — two days later. Soon, a fever arrived. She lost her senses, taste and smell. She learned her cousin had tested positive for COVID-19, so she too was tested — though her results didn't come back. Her oxygen level dropped to 85%, so she called her nurse-practitioner, who urged her to go to the hospital.
Of the seven party attendees that contracted the virus, she would become the only one to be hospitalized with severe symptoms.
Johnson, of Deltona, is the adopted mother of three children ages 17, 20 and 23. She went to the hospital, where she was isolated in an ICU room for approximately 10 days before moving into a different room. In all, she spent 19 days in the hospital.
"You start appreciating your husband for all that he had to go through. He said the first night I was in the hospital he just wept in the shower, thinking I could die," she said.
Nathan Johnson also tested positive and suffered from headaches, a slight fever, loss of appetite and fatigue for three to four days. He said he didn't dwell on the peril his wife faced, as he was focused on his own recovery and keeping his sons and 89-year-old mother healthy.
"November has flown by. I didn't even know we had a November. Everything is a blur," he said, adding that bringing his family back to normalcy has become his goal. .
"Certainly I would pray, but you know I guess at times I would lie in bed and reflect on my life at 55 and how far I've gone," Nathan Johnson said. "My internal determination was, 'I'm hoping Melody had the same type of view I had: Live old together and die old together.'"
He would text her that.
And she, indeed, did share that desire.
Once, when a woman in the hospital had died of COVID-19, Melody Johnson prayed and spoke a mantra to herself over and over: "I started saying 'I will live and not die.' ... You do give into fear if you're not careful."
Treatment and oxygen
One day early in her hospital stay, Johnson wanted to keep up her strength. She had been walking for at least five hours per week for the past two years — so she tried to walk around her bed to the chair.
It left her breathless.
Respiratory therapy came, stat.
"They monitored me real close," she said.
She could barely talk. Sentences were delayed by panting.
"My cough was so bad they could hear me throughout the whole unit," Johnson said.
It was so bad, she described her ribs as "screaming." She wonders whether she broke a rib.
"In the beginning, I couldn't cry. I did once and I could not breathe," she said. "Just recently, I watched a sad show and I got lost in the story. I couldn't cry."
Johnson routinely received nebulizer treatments. Because blood clots are a concern for COVID-19 patients, she got a lot of anticoagulants, or blood thinners, in the form of shots in her stomach. She took vitamins C and D and zinc.
She was given steroids, insulin and Lasix.
While she never went on a ventilator, she came awfully close. At the worst point, she was on 15 liters of oxygen, one step away from a ventilator.
Days of isolation
Just to enter her room, caregivers had to put on so much PPE she called it a "space suit."
That was her only human contact for days.
"I learned to accept I was in the room," she said.
She considered herself blessed to have her phone with her so she could stay in touch with the world beyond her hospital room's walls. She messaged her family and friends. She posted regular updates on Facebook, at one point citing "the interest of complete authenticity."
She wrote about her ups and downs, sentences intermingled with emoji, and most posts including an updated selfie, whether she liked the way she looked or didn't.
"Even though there has been hours of alone time I haven't felt alone between texts and private messages," she wrote on Nov. 1. "Thank you for loving me."
A week later, on Nov. 8, she wrote that she'd been moved out of ICU into a regular room.
"Progress!" she wrote. "Initially my response was completely not of God and I was in fear! I had been watched so closely and felt so safe and now go to a 'regular' room. Fear! That lasted less than 2 minutes but it was there!"
Her isolation was made bearable by contact with the outside world through her phone and the warmth of the hospital staff despite their space suits, she said.
One time, a hospital technician stopped to rub her back.
"It was the only time anybody touched me," she said. "It was so comforting."
Even while being cared for, Johnson occasionally played the role of caregiver. She spoke at length with a nurse who had breast cancer. "It was heartwarming for them to trust me enough to talk to me and ask me stuff," she said.
COVID's lessons
Two years ago Melody Johnson was diagnosed with an auto-immune disorder and got serious about her own health. She walked at least five hours a week and switched to a plant-based diet.
"Every doctor I saw said it was good that I exercised," she said.
Both Johnsons are conservative Republicans, and Nathan Johnson served as campaign manager for newly elected Rep. Webster Barnaby. They see gray where others see black and white rules for COVID-19.
"I tell people two things: One is when you meet somebody who has had COVID, to ask the questions to find out their experience, because many times on TV or the internet, you may not get the full story. I meet a lot of people who say, 'I've never met anyone who had COVID other than you.' So ask questions," Nathan Johnson said.
"My other message is to take whatever precautions they would do to be wise, but also not to live in fear. That's one thing I don't want. ... I know this is a mixed message, if you will. Live your life, but don't go past the point of no return. Don't be careless."
Melody Johnson shares her husband's concern that the virus not halt life as we know it.
"I'm less than 1% of people," she said. "I still don't know how strong my belief is in these masks. I've worn them ... I am concerned long-term what the masks will do. When you wear them, you're re-breathing carbon monoxide. I still have sores on my nose from wearing them."
The experience has brought her new perspective, one she hopes to put to use when she returns to work, caring for patients.
"You value silly things. I honestly didn't get a shower for 16 days. I got a shower and it was like I was in heaven," she said.
Earlier this week, she had a down day, having to use oxygen after being off it for a couple days.
She had "a small pity party" for a few minutes, but her medical background reminds her that her recovery will be a journey of ups and downs.
"On the up days, you have to do all you can to get stronger. On the down days you rest," she said. "I've told patients this for years. Now I have to live it."


A SUPERB flicked header from Ollie Griggs gave Dorchester Town their first Evo-Stik Southern League Premier win of the season.
The Magpies had struggled to create chances up to that point, with a David Jerrard free-kick smartly saved by Basingstoke goalkeeper Colm McCadden in the first-half.
Jerrard turned provider for Griggs after the hour mark, when his delightful cross was headed home to hand Craig Laird's men their first points of the campaign.
Dorchester made four changes for the match, bringing in Jamie Beasley, who made his first league appearance of the season, Griggs, Callum Laird and Dom Panesar-Dower in place of Chris Clarke, Max Buckler, Sam Lanahan and Kyle Egan.
The Magpies began with a 5-4-1 formation in defence, which turned into three at the back when Dorchester moved forwards, with Neil Martin and Laird in wing-back positions.
Early on, Basingstoke winger Sam Smart was quick to exploit the space in behind the wing-backs, using his pace to hare down the left and set up Ben Wright, who saw his header deflected behind.
Basingstoke had two bites of the cherry from the corner, but could not muster a decent chance and Dorchester cleared.
Griggs was caught from behind 30 yards out and Jerrard bent his free-kick around the left of the wall, forcing McCaddem into a scrambling save low to his left.
On 38 minutes, it was the Magpies' talisman Jerrard's turn to provide some much needed creativity when he spotted McCaddem off his line and sent a 30-yard lob just wide.
Dorchester began the second half much more brightly than the first, displaying the sort of crisp passing that manager Laird's philosophy is based on.
But on 58 minutes the Magpies received a major let off when Arron Jarvis beat Weale to a lofted through ball and squared for Smart, who could only blaze over with an unattended goal at his mercy.
Beasley showed neat footwork deep in the Basingstoke half and offloaded to Jerrard, whose perfect cross found the unmarked Griggs to guide a header past McCaddem.
Griggs was then immediately substituted for Buckler as Laird set the Magpies to break on the counter in the face of expected Basingstoke pressure.
And the Magpies should have doubled their lead soon afterwards when Panesar-Dower raided down the right and picked out the free Jerrard, but his turn and shot was tame and allowed McCaddem to safely collect the ball.
There was a blow for Dorchester on 73 minutes when Jerrard limped off with a leg injury, with Egan replacing him.

A SpaceX Rocket Is Bringing Canadian Tech To The Moon & It Launched Early This Morning
The commercial mission is set to land on the Moon in spring 2023.

Despite Elon Musk's antics over on Twitter, which have been keeping many internet users busy for weeks, the aerospace company he founded has its sights set a little higher than social media. SpaceX's most recent launch of a Falcon 9 rocket took place on December 11 at 2:38 a.m., taking with it two Canadian technologies, according to a recent press release.
The new technologies include a 360-degree imaging system, apparently strengthened by the use of AI, designed to "withstand the harsh lunar environment." Two rovers, one from the U.A.E. and the other Japanese, will be posing for pictures taken by the new Canadian imaging system as they are deployed onto the Moon's surface.
Then, a rover will rely on its flight computer, using unspecified artificial intelligence, to attempt to classify and catalogue different geological landmarks and features on the Moon's surface. This type of analysis is traditionally performed on Earth, but this more advanced flight computer allows for rovers to perform actions independently, which could significantly change how data collection and analysis are done on such flights.
Finally, images from this mission, called ispace Mission 1, will be sent to a company called NGC Aerospace Ltd. The images will be used to prepare for future missions in which the new Canadian technologies will ideally help "guide and support the safe landing of a lunar vehicle, in a precise location."
These efforts have been funded by the Canadian Space Agency through its Lunar Exploration Accelerator Program. "This launch is one more example of Canadian industry leading the way in this thrilling new era of space exploration," said François-Philippe Champagne, Canada's Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry. "These technologies will help enhance capabilities and lower mission costs while positioning Canada as a partner of choice for future space endeavours."

PETALING JAYA: Even the possibility of a huge storm couldn't stop the 10,000 strong crowd from showing up at Sunway Surf Beach at the Sunway Lagoon Theme Park last night to catch American boyband Backstreet Boys live. ?
Barely an hour before the concert was due to start, thunder and rain threatened to dampen the atmosphere at the concert, the band's first concert in Malaysia since the Force of Nature Tsunami Relief Concert in 2004.?
"The skies are clear, and we are here ... Backstreet's back!" shouted McLean as he thanked the crowd for showing up. ?
The band members – Brian Littrell, AJ McLean, Nick Carter and Howie Dorough – had the crowd eating out of their hands throughout the one and a half hour concert, belting out almost 30 songs.
The Backstreet Boys were formed in 1993 and have so far released six studio albums, which the crowd were obviously familiar with, if their shrieks and screams were anything to go by. At times, during songs such as I Want It That Way and Incomplete, the band members even paused because the crowd was singing louder than them.?
The Backstreet Boys made several costume changes throughout their performance, but it was when they put on their trademark fedora hat, made popular from the music video of their 1997 hit song As Long As You Love Me that the crowd went wild. ?
This was also the first time Malaysians were seeing the band perform live as a quartet as member Kevin Richardson left the group last year. ?
The band only sang one song for their encore but gave such a heart-warming performance that it was enough to placate the crowd.?
The Star had been the official newspaper for the Kuala Lumpur leg of the Backstreet Boys Unbreakable World Tour.
