Kevin O'Brien Studio: One-of-a-Kind, Hand-Painted Textiles for Modern Tastes
By Graziella DiNuzzo
Hand-painting designs on textiles is a craft that dates back thousands of years to Asia and parts of Europe and this highly specialized technique continues to thrive in Philadelphia at Kevin O'Brien Studio (KOB).
Artist and painter, Kevin O'Brien, began his career as a painter with the goal to "add beauty to the world."
When O'Brien had an idea for a design, he went directly to an old fashioned sketch book to hand draw his idea – not a computer. That was over 20 years ago and its still where KOB designs begin.
O'Brien opened his first studio in old city Philadelphia in 1997. Angela Romano-Vosburgh, a graduate of Moore College of Art and Design, joined O'Brien that year as an intern – today she is Studio Manager and Lead Designer. "The way I remember it, there was this huge loft in the oldest part of Philadelphia. It was filled with the most splendid shimmering fabrics hanging everywhere . . . from the ceiling drying, against the walls being painted, even from the fire escape."
A few years ago, O'Brien custom renovated an old movie theater on Broad Street to house his new studio. O'Brien and his team design, print, paint and dye all of their fabrics to produce pillows, quilts, duvets, rugs, and a variety of other items for the home furnishings market – "all under one roof and in Philadelphia."
Angela leads a tour through the modern, bright studio.
The first-floor area is set-up for their annual end of year Sample Sale, "We used to primarily make fabrics for designers and one-of-a kind scarves that were sold in museum shops and upscale retailers like Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman," says Angela as she holds a silk-velvet infinity scarf.
In addition to scarves, the floor is also filled with beautifully appointed upholstered chairs and ottomans (upon which your dog should never sit), beds, rugs, pillows, and stuffed animals.
Stuffed animals? In order to reduce fabric waste, KOB decided to commission craft artist Carolyn Cook to create adorable plush "art," pieced together from various fabrics. "Meant as a display piece."
The display beds are dressed in KOB duvets and heaps of down and feather stuffed pillows. The pillows are encased in a variety of designs, which include silk, velvet, and cotton.
Some pillows are crafted with hand-embroidery and velvet mixed with cashmere.
The detailed embroidery is hand stitched in Kathmandu, Nepal. "After visiting Kathmandu, and seeing how artists continue the ancient practice of fine embroidery, Kevin decided to open a studio," says Angela. "Nepal has embroidery skills we don't have and Kevin was also able to teach them how to paint on fabric and burning out techniques. We have a fair trade relationship and love that we provide jobs for such beautiful people," says Angela. "They can hand weave a single blanket if we need it."
KOB showroom
How long does it take to make one pillow? Sometimes a few days.
"We start with white fabric and only use natural fibers," says Angela as we walk toward the room where the painting takes place.
We watch as the artist handpaints the white fabric with natural dyes. With a steady hand and laser focus, the artist applies just the right amount of paint – a technique taught by O'Brien, "its very labor intensive."
John Loughney, Dye Specialist, has been working with KOB since 2003, "Once the painting is complete, the fabric is steamed for about an hour and a half in a "steam room." O'Brien and Loghney built the steam room, "its large enough to steam about 32 yards at a time."
"The fabric leaves the steamer and then needs to go a washing machine to be washed with fabric softener, and then goes to the dryer," explains Loughney.
Back in the production room, the fabric is then ironed to enhance the color.
Angela Romano-Vosburgh holds a KOB fabric
"We would love to bring our fabrics and products to other parts of the world especially those countries that have a culture of appreciating fabrics and handmade things. Japan comes to mind, so does Italy and England. But really there are people everywhere who appreciate fine and beautiful things and my goal is to get to these people so they are not without KOB products," says O'Brien.
The wheels are in motion. O'Brien has attended the World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia Bringing the World To PA events in 2018 and 2019 and met with several Authorized Trade Representatives who are researching for buyers in Germany, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom.
Clearly, hand-made fabric production and the products made with such rich coverings take talent and time.
Angela laughs, "No one is as crazy to produce the way we do, that's what makes us different."

French Anti-Terror Police Arrest Suspected Far-Left Extremist School Principal
French anti-terror police arrested six people, including a school principal, alleged to be far-left extremists, in connection with the sabotage of a communications tower.
Anti-terror police arrested the school principal, said to be a woman in her 60s, on Tuesday in the department (county) of Creuse. Officers also arrested two other women and three men in the department of Haute-Vienne.
The six alleged far-left extremists are accused of taking part in an arson attack on a relay antenna in the district of Cars in January, which led to 1.4 million people being without access to radio, television, and mobile phones, French newspaper Le Figaro reports.
According to the local prosecutor's office, the six "ultra-left" extremists are suspected of "destruction and degradation by dangerous means [undertaken by] an organised gang, criminal association, and destruction of property likely to harm the interests of the nation".
France: Far-Left Antifa Extremists Possible Suspects in Mass Sabotage of Internet Infrastructure https://t.co/ydwvfFowXn
— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) May 8, 2020
A group of 70 people gathered in the city of Limoges to protest the arrests of the alleged far-left extremists, including the partner of the principal who stated that the charges of terrorism against the woman made "everyone howl with laughter!"
Far-left extremists have committed attacks on infrastructure, particularly communications, in France for several years.
In February, communications company Constructel suffered infrastructure attacks in the communes of Brézins and Sassenage, both in the department of Isère, with fibre optic cables being destroyed, vehicles damaged, and a 980-foot high fibre optic tower set on fire.
Anarchists took credit for both attacks on the far-left Indymedia web platform, stating: "…it is not to protest against 5G in particular but in a broader context, fighting against the techno-world."
In May 2020, Antifa militants were suspected of being behind the cutting of telephone and communications cables in the Île-de-France region that knocked out internet connectivity for at least 50,000 customers and is suspected of having cost €1 million (£860,000/$1.19m) in damages.

A leaked note from France's Central Territorial Intelligence Service (SCRT) claimed that far-left militants had been behind at least 20 acts of sabotage in the period of just a few weeks last year, all of the attacks targeting communications.
"These individuals have forced open the street signs that protect underground fibre optic networks. They then cut the big cables and took the time to cut everything into smaller pieces to delay repairs that could take weeks," a source told the French newspaper, Le Parisien, at the time.

'Hazardous' air quality from bushfire smoke triggers spike in hospital admissions
Haze from fires across large sections of NSW and Queensland is causing unprecedented conditions leaving the vulnerable at risk
Melissa Davey
@MelissaLDavey

Fires across Queensland and NSW have exposed more Australians than ever to smoke and potential health complications due to poor air quality. Photograph: Dean Lewins/AAP
The blanket of smoke covering kilometres of Queensland and New South Wales as a result of prolonged bushfires has seen a spike in emergency department presentations for respiratory problems, but illnesses such as heart attack and stroke are also likely to be triggered from the ongoing air pollution.
According to the World Health Organisation, an estimated 4.2 million premature deaths globally are linked to ambient air pollution. One of the pollutants most strongly associated with air pollution is particulate matter, extremely small solid particles and liquid droplets suspended in air. During bushfires, particle pollution can reach high concentrations.
Coalition inaction on climate change and health is risking Australian lives, global report finds
While Australia's national standard is less than 8 micrograms/m³ of ultrafine particles, suburbs 25km or more away from the fires have reached 50 micrograms/m³ in recent days. By comparison Jakarta, which frequently ranks among those cities with the most dangerous levels of air pollution, maintains particulate matter levels upwards of 140 micrograms/m³.
But Australia's elevated concentrations from fires are enough to affect people with existing respiratory, heart and neurological conditions. According to the NSW department of health, short-term exposure to particulate matter appears to exacerbate pre-existing diseases while long-term exposure most likely causes disease and increases disease progression. Particles with a diameter of 2.5 micrometres are the most problematic, so small they can get deep into the lungs and into the bloodstream.
Dr Arnagretta Hunter, a cardiologist with Doctors for the Environment Australia, said the smoke smothering parts of Australia was most dangerous for those with preexisting conditions such as asthma or heart disease.
"The way I think about it, it's a bit like cigarettes," she said. "Smoking a cigarette if you have been smoking a long time can trigger a heart attack, but it doesn't always. It can be the fumes from motor vehicles that trigger an attack, and we know living near arterial roads is associated with heart disease.
The conditions we are experiencing are those that scientists have warned about for decades
Fiona Armstrong
"The challenge with this fire season is the number of people exposed to bushfire smoke in some regions is greater than we've seen before. It is putting us through new experiences in terms of the health consequences."
The vice president of the Australian Medical Association, Dr Chris Zappala, said healthy people probably did not need to worry too much. But he urged those with any chronic health conditions such as asthma to take extra precautions, and not to hesitate to call an ambulance or go to an emergency department if they were worried.
"They should try as much as possible to limit exposure by staying inside and increasing preventer medications which need to be taken every day usually and then also relievers for immediate symptom control," Zappala, who is a respiratory physician, said. "They will need to carry those medications with them, and anyone with a chronic lung condition however mild must act preemptively."
For other people, the haze is unlikely to have long-term ill effects.
"It will be mildly irritating," he said. "It will cause coughing but not long-term injury. Our airway is designed to filter and deal with a whole range of dust particles and spores and it does that very effectively on a day-to-day basis, and those filtering and cleaning mechanisms will take care of it even if the smoke goes for several days."
Dr Chris Zappala says people should avoid going outside but not to forego outdoor exercise as the benefits outweigh the risks. Photograph: Dean Lewins/AAP
While people should try to avoid being outside, he said they should not necessarily avoid exercise outside, or activities such as cycling or walking to work because the benefits of those outweighed the irritant from the smoke.
The Australasian College for Emergency Medicine [Acem], the Royal Australasian College of Physicians, the Climate and Health Alliance and the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine President have all declared climate change a medical emergency in recent weeks.
Acem president Dr John Bonning said bushfires and heatwaves lead to surges in presentations to hospital emergency departments and that patients with histories of conditions like asthma, emphysema and allergies, as well as pre-existing cardiac conditions were most at risk.
"Heatwaves can also lead to increased presentations for conditions such as heatstroke, cardiac events and mental health issues," he said. "This disproportionately affects some of our most vulnerable patients, including the elderly and children. It is also an equity issue, as people without insulated homes, or who are unable to afford air conditioning, are at increased risk."
Thunderstorm asthma: 'You're talking an event equivalent to a terrorist attack'
Associate professor Linda Selvey from the University of Queensland's school of public health said the government must develop a national climate change and health strategy.
"I know that health departments are aware of and talking about the issue, but in terms of overall climate change adaptation and strategy, we are way behind where we need to be," she said.
Climate and Health Alliance executive director Fiona Armstrong said the bushfires being seen in Australia were "not normal". With Victoria reaching 39C on Thursday and experiencing extreme winds and a code red warning, potential for bushfires, and a risk of a thunderstorm asthma event, she said people should stay indoors and follow medical advice to avoid putting themselves at risk.
"The conditions we are experiencing are those that scientists have warned about for decades," Armstrong said.
"Without decisive action to phase out the burning coal and other fossil fuels, the main cause of global warming, these conditions will continue to worsen."

Why The Girl In The Cantina From The Book Of Boba Fett Chapter 2 Is More Important Than You Think
By Jason Connolly/Jan. 5, 2022 11:43 am EST
While the biggest revelation to come out of "The Book of Boba Fett" Chapter 2 is undoubtedly the return of the Hutts to Tatooine, the episode also provided fans with some pretty crucial details about Boba Fett's (Temuera Morrison) backstory. And some of those details are perhaps more important in the grand scheme of the story itself.
Chapter 2 continues the nonlinear narrative present in the series' pilot. After the arrival of the Hutts, we flash back to Fett's story just after his escape from the Sarlacc Pit and learn more about his dealings with the Tusken Raiders. Fett is moved by the plight of the Raiders, and after a vicious attack on the tribe by an armored train, he decides to procure some speeder bikes so the Raiders can track down the train and seek revenge.
His search for speeders leads him to the Tosche Station cantina, and when he enters, he finds that the patrons of the bar are almost exclusively alien, save for two humans seated in the corner. As it happens, one of those humans is actually Camie Marstrap (Mandy Kowalski), and her appearance in the series could have major implications for what's to come later on in the story.
Camie is actually a childhood friend of Luke Skywalker
Camie Marstrap comes from a family of hydroponic farmers on Tatooine, and she was actually a longtime friend of Luke Skywalker before he ever left the planet (via Wookieepedia). The other human in Tosche Station is her boyfriend, Laze Loneozner (Skyler Bible), another childhood friend of Luke's.
Camie actually appears in a deleted scene from "Star Wars: A New Hope," where she and Luke hang out in a cantina with the rest of their friends. In this iteration, she was played by actress Koo Stark, and that version of the character made appearances in various stories throughout the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
In "The Book of Boba Fett" Chapter 2, Camie and Laze are harassed in Tosche Station by a group of aliens known as the Nikto who take their food and drink and end up beating Laze with a stun baton while Camie screams for help. Boba Fett enters and easily dispatches the aliens, saving Camie and Laze and leaving them in the wreckage of the bar. If Camie returns in a future episode, maybe she'll remember how Fett saved her, and perhaps, her connection to the famous Luke Skywalker will prove to be more than just a fun Easter egg.

Top Courteney Cox Story Of 2021: Ruining Her Face With Cosmetic Procedures
Courteney Cox became a household name during her time on Friends, and the tabloids haven't left her alone ever since. Her career and relationships are common subjects for magazines to latch onto, but our top Courteney Cox story of 2021 is all about her looks. Let's check in on the rumor.
'Fish-Faced' Courteney Cox Went Overboard On Plastic Surgery?
Back in September, the Globe reported Courteney Cox was back on cosmetic fillers after she claimed to have given them up back in 2019. Cox recently posted a video of herself on Instagram that incited a wave of concerned comments. "You don't even look the same. The stuff you did is overkill and it doesn't look right," one fan remarked.
The tabloid consulted a cosmetic surgeon that hadn't treated Cox to put the matter to bed once and for all. "It does appear Courteney has undergone injections of filler into her lips to plump them up, and Botox into her forehead and frown lines to smooth them," the doctor speculated. "I also suspect that she's had some filler injected into her cheeks."
The tabloid asserted that Cox had "ruined" her face with all the fillers. "She was on a real kick a couple years ago, adding more and more fillers to her face, and friends said, 'Don't go overboard.' But it was too little too late by the time she finally listened," an insider dished. "She looks so different. Her cheeks seem misshapen, her lips are gummy, and, of course, the fear is her filler overload has done permanent damage!"
Courteney Cox Suffering From 'Permanent Damage' To Her Face?
This report was low even for a tabloid. Let us explain. First of all, in the video that the tabloid referenced, Cox explained that she showed up to work without even realizing that her hair was still wrapped in a towel. It was obvious right off the bat that she hadn't finished getting ready, so of course, she looked a little disheveled. However, her "misshapen" cheek that the outlet pointed to as proof she'd had more work done was all smoke and mirrors. If you watch the full video, it was clear that a loose strand of her dark hair obstructed her face, momentarily contouring it.
But nevertheless, it's completely true that Cox had some work done years ago. In a 2019 interview with People, Cox explained, "[I tried] to keep up with time in a way that was anything other than maintenance. I didn't realize it until one day I kind of stepped back and went, 'Oh [expletive]. I don't look like myself." She said that she's since cut back on the cosmetic treatments, and we believe her. She may look different than she did playing Monica Geller in the '90s, but she doesn't look any different than she did two years ago.
Other Wild Stories About Courteney Cox
While this tale about Cox being "unrecognizable" to her fans took the spot for our top Courteney Cox story of the year, there were plenty of other contenders to choose from. Back in June, the National Enquirer claimed Cox was feuding with her Friends co-star, Jennifer Aniston. Then, Woman's Day claimed Cox and her longtime boyfriend, Johnny McDaid, were secretly engaged. And then the Enquirer claimed Cox was pushing McDaid away with her "control freak" tendencies. It's clear that fans of Cox shouldn't believe a word any of these stories print about the actress.

The usually quiet village of Nathan, in Pike County, was the scene of a killing Saturday. Tom Terrell and Tom Bell had a difficulty and Terrell shot Bell with a shot gun causing almost instant death.
Terrell is a young man living with his father on the Pleas White Farm near Nathan. Bell lived on the same farm. Bell is a widower with nine children, the oldest a boy of some sixteen years.
It seems that Terrell slapped the oldest boy and Bell went to see him about it. He called him out and told him he would have to straighten the matter up or he would kill him before night. It is said he picked up a hoe that was leaning against the fence and Terrell went into the house and came out with a shot gun and shot Bell at a distance of about thirty feet. Terrell went to Murfreesboro and surrendered to the officers.

Is there any method that must be called when done using Tango prefabs and leaving the scene?  Any idea why the crash is occurring?

A: I don't use Unity, but at the C level you need to call TangoService_disconnect - if you don't do that, and you do have live callbacks, well, who knows what will happen  :-)

The Ernies were an American alternative rock/ska punk band from Richmond, Virginia. They released two albums on an independent label before signing to Mojo Records and releasing their third album entitled Meson Ray.

History
The Ernies were formed in 1994 by four students of Virginia Commonwealth University: Will Hummel, Tom Martin, Matt Goves, and Hayes Smith. Hayes majored in music education, learning the saxophone and the bassoon, and Matt majored in music performance, focusing on percussion. Will studied English, and was especially influenced by the Modernists of the early 20th century.

The Ernies released their self-titled debut album on October 1, 1995. This album featured a three-piece horn section consisting of Steve Bider on alto saxophone, Stefan Demetriadis on trombone, and Hayes Smith on the baritone saxophone. In 1995, bassist Mike Hughes joined the band.

On May 12, 1997, The Ernies released their second album, Dropping Science. This album diverged from the pure ska style present on their previous album. The first track, "Jive", addresses the style change with lyrics like "We're not ska-core or reggae, jazz or funk, we're not hip-hop or rock or pop" and "to pacify those of you who need a label, call it what you want, we know you'll kick it if you're able". Without Steve Bider in the band, the horn section on Dropping Science consisted only of Stefan Demetriadis on trombone, and Hayes Smith on the baritone saxophone.

Mojo Records and beyond
Chris Bondi joined the band in 1997, playing the turntables and theremin. While playing a show in Los Angeles during a tour across the United States, The Ernies were discovered by a record executive and signed to Mojo Records. Meson Ray was released on Mojo Records on April 20, 1999. With trombonist Stefan Demetriadis no longer in the band, the only horn section remaining for this release was Hayes Smith on a variety of saxophones.

A remix of the song "Motivate" appeared during a scene in the movie BASEketball. This version of the song also appeared on the BASEketball soundtrack, released by Mojo Records.

The song "Here and Now" was featured in the video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in 1999, and has also been featured on various television commercials, including an advertisement for the American television show CSI: Miami, the Australian television series Dangerous, and a U.S. trailer of Cowboy Bebop: The Movie (Knockin' on Heaven's Door) in 2003. Sony also used the song for numerous in-store and DVD advertisements promoting Blu-ray.

On June 7, 2006, World Wrestling Entertainment featured the song "Polarized" as the theme for the one-time special "WWE vs. ECW: Head to Head episode". They also used "Here and Now" as the theme song to the DVD version of Survivor Series 2003.The song "Organism" was the opening theme for Wrestling Society X. The songs "Here and Now" and "Polarized" are also featured in a number of promotional training videos for the 2007 comedy Balls of Fury; specifically the "Backhand Punch" and "Forehand Block" videos. In mid-2008 TGI Fridays used "Here and Now" as a background song for a run of television commercials.  The song "Polarized" was featured as part of the in-game music of the 2018 video game Far Cry 5.

Hayes Smith was a guest saxophonist, recording with The Pietasters on their 2002 album Turbo. He is now playing bass and sax for a Dallas-based band called Roy Bennett.

Frontman Will Hummel currently works as a district manager for G by Guess and released a rocksteady-style solo project.

Will Hummel, Matt Goves and Mike Hughes reunited and performed songs from Meson Ray together on January 3, 2013, at The Camel in Richmond, Virginia, along with Stefan Demetriadis and Chris Bondi.

Restoration of Civil Rights for Felons
There are nearly 101,000 inmates in state prison in the state of Florida, and within the next twelve months, over one-third of that population will return to society. In addition, another 145,000 felons are currently out of prison on "community supervision" or probation. However, the limitations that come with a felony criminal record often prohibit felons from obtaining state or federal licenses, security clearances, government contracts, better jobs, and even prohibit volunteer opportunities with non-profit or other charitable organizations. As a remedy, petitioning for clemency gives a felon the opportunity to restore their civil rights and overall improve their lives.
What is Clemency?
Clemency is a process that provides a way for convicted felons to be considered for relief from punishment and seek the restoration of their civil rights. It is considered an act of mercy by the state that absolves a felon from all or part of the punishment that the law originally imposed. There are multiple types of clemency, which include:
Full pardon;
Pardon without firearm authority;
Pardon for misdemeanor;
Commutation of sentence;
Remission of fines and forfeitures;
Specific authority to own, possess, or use firearms;
Restoration of alien status; and
Restoration of civil rights.
Restoration of Civil Rights
Felons in Florida cannot vote, sit on a jury, hold public office, or possess a firearm. In order to get these rights restored, a felon in Florida must apply for "Restoration of civil rights" (RCRs) with the Florida Commission on Offender Review. Obtaining clemency through an RCR can help a felon secure a job, obtain certain clearances, and get state and federal licenses. Recent data indicates that over 375,000 felons have gotten their civil rights restored through an RCR.
RCRs With or Without a Hearing
In March 2011, the Florida Governor and the Board of Executive Clemency made changes to the RCR process that created two separate categories of eligibility. Depending on the type of crime and length of time that a felon has been crime-free, they must apply for an RCR either with or without a hearing.
RCRs without a Hearing
Rule 9.A. of the Florida Rules of Executive Clemency establishes who is eligible for an RCR without a hearing. In order to qualify, "A person may have his or her civil rights or alien status under Florida Law restored . . . without a hearing if the person has committed no crimes and has not been arrested for a misdemeanor or felony for five (5) years from the date of completion of all sentences and conditions of supervision imposed."
RCRs with a Hearing
Rule 10.A. of the Florida Rules of Executive Clemency dictate who must apply for an RCR with a hearing. If the felon commits one of 35 serious crimes or has been declared a sexual predator, habitual or violent felony offender they must be crime-free for at least seven years before application in addition to completing a hearing.
The clemency board meets quarterly and reviews between 350-400 cases per year. It considers six factors during the hearing to determine whether or not to grant clemency to an applicant:
Nature of the offense;
History of any mental instability, drug, or alcohol abuse;
Any subsequent arrests including traffic offenses;
Employment history;
Delinquent on outstanding debts or child support; and
Support or opposition letters.

Deeply beautiful words. If you have lost someone you love, may God comfort your heart and mind.
This is so very true. My Mom passed away in 1998 and I still miss Her. Mother and child have a bond not easily broken. When I lost my Mother it was like a piece of me died also. Of course I know that Mom is in Heaven but Holidays are still rough. Especially Christmas, Her Birthday and Mother's Day. However one day we will be reunited in Paradise.

Winter is just around the corner, and although it's difficult to predict the weather this far in advance, we think the UK is long overdue a snowstorm or two. While the prospect of a winter snow flurry may be exciting for kids, for motorists trying to get to work, it can prove a real nuisance — and a potentially dangerous one at that.
If the tabloids are right, and the UK does receive severe snow this winter, drivers will need to adapt the extreme conditions to stay safe behind the wheel. Here we'll provide some top tips on how to drive in snow and sleet, so you can get from A to B safely this season.
When the ice and snow gets really bad, some untreated roads — particularly B-roads — may be inaccessible, with patches of black ice catching unsuspecting motorists out. Before leaving the house, assess your route and decide if you think its safe to go that way. Occasionally, it might be better to change your route and stick to major roads you know will have been gritted and cleared of ice and snow — even if that means driving further.
Did you know — it's actually illegal to drive with a heap of snow on your roof? That's why you should always set aside ten minutes before setting off to completely clear your car of snow and ice — particularly on your windscreen. For optimum visibility in even the most extreme weather, use a quality screen wash like Prestone's Max Visibility screen wash — which melts ice down to -10°C.
Driving in snow is a slow and arduous task, and tailbacks can soon develop as a result. Even if the snow hasn't actually settled, a sudden shower can cause traffic to come to a standstill as motorists struggle for visibility. With this in mind, it's important to give yourself extra time to get where you're going, as delays are very likely.
It's all too easy to wheel spin off the line when pulling away in snow, but starting in second gear can help to reduce the chance of a skid. As you're pulling out of a junction, try to be as gentle with the clutch as possible — easing off slowly to prevent the car going into an uncontrolled slide.
There are few things dicier than attempting to drive up or down a snowy hill. If you're heading uphill, try to keep the car moving at all times, even if it means waiting for the route to clear ahead. When you're driving downhill, reduce your speed before reaching the descent, select a low gear and try not to use the brakes.
Although it can be tempting to slam on the brakes when your car starts sliding on ice, doing so will lock the wheels and put the car into an uncontrolled skid. Provided you're driving at a relatively slow speed anyway, it should be possible to slow down simply by taking your foot off the accelerator and selecting a low gear. Try to keep the car moving whenever possible, as this will reduce the risk of a skid when setting off and stopping.
It's a basic tip, but one we think deserves mentioning — make sure your shoes are dry before you start driving. If you've just had to wade through an inch of snow to reach your car, your shoes will likely be extremely slippery, and this can cause your feet to slip on the pedals — not good when you're trying to drive carefully in icy conditions.
At Prestone, all of our products are tested in extreme conditions, so you can guarantee they'll work whatever winter throws our way. To find out more, visit the Prestone website.

Air pollution poses risk to mental health
Mounting evidence suggests mental health is tied to the air quality we breathe

Air pollution is linked to an increased risk of developing psychiatric conditions such as bipolar disorder, major depression, schizophrenia and personality disorders, a new study finds.
The study showed that regions in the United States with the greatest levels of air pollution were associated with a 27% increase in bipolar disorder, as well as a 6% increase in major depression, compared to counties with the worst levels of air quality.
This study falls in line with similar work in China, South Korea and London. All demonstrated a similar link between air quality and mental health.
"There are a few known risk factors for psychiatric disorders, but pollution is a new direction," wrote Atif Khan, computational biologist at the University of Chicago and lead author of the study, in an email.
The study was carried out after the researchers realized that "genes could only tell us part of the story" of how psychiatric disorders develop, says Andrey Rzhetsky, co-author of the study and geneticist at the University of Chicago.
The researchers used large datasets from the U.S. and Denmark to generate their findings, published in PLOS Biology. They compared insurance claims from 151 million Americans between the years 2003 and 2013 against the average levels of air pollution for each county. Insurance claims included individuals with bipolar disorder, major depression, schizophrenia and personality disorders. They also included neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's and epilepsy.
The researchers found correlations between air pollution and psychiatric disorders, even after accounting for variables such as sex, age, socio-economic background and whether the participants lived in an urban environment.
"[This work] augments the idea that there is a 'signal,'" an actual link, between pollution and mental health, says Ioannis Bakolis, biostatistician at King's College London who was not involved in the study.
Yet, he also stresses caution: "It's hard to say if there's an established causal link."
Since counties in the U.S. can be very large, and air quality within counties can vary significantly, the dataset makes for a crude measure of individual exposure to pollution, Bakolis says. Rzhetsky adds that relying on insurance claims automatically excludes poorer individuals who cannot afford health insurance.
To validate their results, the U.S. team contacted researchers at Aarhus University to see if they could obtain similar findings in Denmark.
"Denmark is much smaller, and has a rich dataset where we could include everyone," says Oleguer Plana-Ripoll, postdoctoral researcher at Aarhus University, who was in charge of the Danish dataset. Largely for this reason Plana-Ripoll believes "Denmark is able to answer questions that no-one else can."
For decades, Denmark has recorded detailed information about its citizens in data sets available to researchers. The Danish team used these registers to look at health data from 1.4 million Danes born between 1979 and 2002 for the first 10 years of their lives. They then computed the accumulated exposure of Danish citizens by tracking their address and comparing it to data on air quality with a precision of 1 square km.
The study found that Danish citizens exposed to the lowest air quality had a 51% higher rate of major depression compared to those living in the highest air quality. Likewise, rates of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and personality disorder were 29%, 148% and 162% higher, respectively, in areas with the lowest air quality. Exact numbers comparing how many more people suffered from psychiatric conditions with worsened pollution levels were not available.
To explain their findings, the researchers point to several animal experiments showing how exposure to pollutants may result in inflammation and damage to brain cells.
But Bakolis says there is still "no strong biological basis" for the link between pollution and psychiatric disorders.
Future experiments will work on identifying the suspected routes by which pollution may reach and damage the brain, Khan says. He adds that more experiments need to be conducted to see if the link between air pollution and psychiatric conditions truly is causal.
Plana-Ripoll is optimistic about how his research may influence policy change in Denmark. "It's moving in the right direction," he says.

The new budget ELEPHONE A6 Mini is a very interesting cheap piece with solid specs and good looks, but the makers have few extras up their sleeve. At least they are trying to point these out in comparison to the similar competition. Many of the very cheap phones are not equipped with the support for the 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks, but the A6 Mini can handle it with ease as the following video is trying to show us. So check it out to have a proof.
ELEPHONE A6 Mini offers 5,71-inch HD+ fullview screen with 1520×720 pixel resolution, 19:9 aspect ratio and decent waterdrop notch, MT6761 aka Helio A22 quad-core processor, 4 GB RAM, 32 GB / 64 GB of internal storage, 16MP+2MP dual rear cameras, 16MP selfie cam, hybrid dual SIM slot, 3180 mAh battery capacity with 5V/1.5A "super charging", side mounted fingerprint scanner, Face Unlock tech and Android 9.0 system right out of the box.
Retail pricing for the ELEPHONE A6 Mini i set at $119.99 for the 4GB+32GB version and $139.99 for the GB+64GB one, but you can still find some extra first presale deals from major retailers. So if you get a bit lucky you can get the basic version of the phone for under $100, which is certainly not bad.

A "significant" portion of Gmail users experienced long inbound and outbound delivery delays for several hours on Tuesday, and the affected included organisations that use the email service for workplace communications through the hosted Google Apps suite.
A "significant" portion of Gmail users experienced long inbound and outbound delivery delays for several hours on Tuesday, and the affected included organizations that use the email service for workplace communications through the hosted Google Apps suite.
Google acknowledged the problem shortly after 4 p.m. US Eastern Time in its Apps Status Dashboard. It was solved by around 8:30 p.m. The issue proved very disruptive to the workflow and client communications at The Swift Collective, a digital marketing agency. It had problems with inbound and outbound mail for most of its business day.
"We rely very heavily on email, especially because a lot of our clients are out of town and out of state," said Paul Wille, partner and strategy vice president at the company. "As an agency, we have very tight deadlines and we pride ourselves on delivering on them."
Of particular concern to Wille was that it first heard about his company's email problems from upset clients that were waiting for messages and files that didn't arrive at the expected time. Google didn't acknowledge the problem until hours later, he said. Google needs to be quicker to detect and acknowledge this type of problem so that Gmail users can make adjustments and arrangements while the issue lasts, he said.
This is the second major email malfunction that The Swift Collective experiences since adopting the free Standard version of Google Apps about two years ago for its about 25 end users. Yesterday's fallout has shaken the company's confidence in the product, he said.
Although happy overall with Google Apps, the company will consider switching to a different email provider if Gmail problems become more common, Wille said.

Why 2018 could be a game-changer for RCVs
Written by: Dave Peters | Published: 18 January 2018
The Li-On Power Pro will be perfectly suited to towns and cities with low emission zones
Landmark developments have studded the waste and recycling industry's timeline. With technology changing at breakneck speed, 2018 could be a game-changer for RCVs.
Most developments in the new year will be focused on environmental, public health or safety needs, yet manufacturers of refuse collection vehicles (RCVs) and their accessories will be eagerly addressing these to maintain compliance with new legislation and gain a competitive edge.
Growing concern over the impact that particulates and nitrous oxides have on our health have put a replacement for diesel fuel top of the legislators' wish list. Various alternatives have been mooted, but an electric vehicle, with the potential for all the power to come from renewable sources, is the ultimate goal.
And the world's first all-electric RCV, the Li-On Power Pro, will be unveiled by Geesinknorba at Future Fleet Forum, in London's Guildhall, in January. Both the chassis – built by Dutch electric vehicle specialist Emoss – and the body are powered by lithium ion batteries.
Mick Hill, UK business director of Geesinknorba, said: "We've been producing hybrid vehicles for more than a decade with bodies powered by batteries but mounted on diesel-fuelled chassis. Now, thanks to our collaboration with Emoss, we have produced a vehicle powered entirely by batteries.
"Electric vehicles aren't just about zero emissions. They are more energy-efficient as there's no revving-up the engine needed for the lifting, compaction or tipping mechanisms. Consequently, they are much quieter too. They have fewer parts to go wrong and so are less prone to wear and tear and potentially cheaper to maintain. And there's no diesel or AdBlue cost.
"Of course, electric vehicles' limiting factor has always been their range. The amount of energy a heavily-laden RCV needs to drive from A to B is considerable and, in the past, the size of the batteries needed was prohibitive. But advances in technology means they are now much smaller."
Energy efficiency was one of the cornerstones in the design of the new vehicle's body. Hill continues:"Put all this together with the cleverly designed chassis and we have a vehicle that is totally suitable for waste collections in urban environments with characteristically short journeys between collections and shorter overall routes.
"The Li-On Power Pro will be perfectly suited to towns and cities with low emission zones as it doesn't emit any CO2 and NOX gases or particulates. And it's so quiet it is ideal for early morning or late night collections too. Extending the working hours of RCVs, of course, can reduce the number needed."
Collection changes
The successful introduction of three-weekly collections by several local authorities is also having an impact on RCV design and fleet make-up.
A Local Authority Recycling Advisory Committee (LARAC) conference recently heard how East Devon achieved a 69% increase in recyclable materials collected and a 26% increase in food waste after introducing three-weekly collections. And when Rochdale went three-weekly, recycling increased by a third and food waste four-fold, knocking residual waste down to 27%.
The RCV interlock system
If three-weekly regimes lead to cost savings, better recycling rates and less landfill, they are likely to become more widespread, but this means they need fewer vehicles than weekly or fortnightly regimes.
Volume of different recyclable factions will also be larger, so purchasing vehicles with design specifications or modifications for particular waste streams, such as those dedicated to food waste, may become more viable.
Safety as a priority
Numerous safety devices will develop in the year ahead, with the pick of them being live video streaming and remote access for operators.
But it is safety standards which are perhaps most significant. The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) standards will continue to be adopted across the UK, but another initiative that will have a significant impact on RCV design and the safety systems required in 2018 is Transport for London (TfL)'s Direct Vision Standard (DVS).
While still in its formative stages, it originally set out to ensure drivers had clear and direct vision through their windscreens and doors but has since evolved to embrace the use of vehicle safety devices.
Designers are already incorporating larger windscreens and glass door panels to help drivers see pedestrians and cyclists, but DVS will use a star system to rate HGVs from zero (lowest) to five based on how much a driver can see.
Vehicles with one star or more would get a permit, but those rated zero would need additional safety devices. However, whatever standard is set now, the bar will only be raised in future.
DVS is set to be introduced in 2020, but such is the pressure on operators to reach the highest safety standards that new RCVs in 2018 are bound to be ordered with a high DVS spec. Many older vehicles will also be retro-fitted and modified too.
And while this legislation will only apply to London (the EU is preparing similar, though less stringent, legislation), such initiatives have a habit of spreading. The buoyant hire market will ensure its RCVs comply with TfL's requirements, and the pressure will be on other operators to match that.
Other safety features set to emerge in 2018 include the addition of dust suppression systems to RCVs and the use of anti-drink-driving kits. These require the driver to take a breathalyser test before starting the engine. AlcoDigital and Renault Trucks have already shown off the Draeger Interlock 7000 and made it a special offer with selected vehicles.
Public perception
The last word on safety goes to Middlesbrough Council, which recently fitted Ident, a radio frequency tagging system from Vision Techniques, to prevent unauthorised drivers and stop its RCVs being used as weapons by terrorists. Others may follow.
Another design trend currently gaining traction is a move to make RCVs less intimidating and more public-friendly. While aesthetics come into play here, manufacturers are also developing vehicles with a smaller footprint. And this is not just about public perception but practicality.
Geesinknorba and Dennis Eagle already offer narrowtrack RCVs, but Dennis Eagle has just revealed a prototype for another. The goal was to reduce the weight and size of the vehicle, making it quicker on tight, urban rounds while still carrying significant payloads.
What it has produced is an innovative 16-tonne vehicle with a potential payload of eight tonnes, which it describes as "an integral chassis-less construction".
The wheels are smaller, giving it a lower centre of gravity and allowing even easier access to the cab. The tight turning circle makes it more manoeuvrable and there is more room for payload as, with less gross weight, the vehicle doesn't need such a big motor.
The prototype is reportedly powered by a relatively small four-cylinder, 4.5-litre diesel engine, but rumour has it that an all-electric lithium-ion-battery-powered model, and a compressed natural gas CNG model, will be produced. When? Expect them before 2020, say the rumours, which means they could be another landmark of 2018.

West Ham v Newcastle: Toon to come up short in the capital
By Adam Goodwin on	 Feb 5, 2019 Premier League Tips, Tips
FOOTBALL journalist Adam Goodwin (@AGJournalism) takes a look at Saturday evening's contest between West Ham and Newcastle in the Premier League.
West Ham v Newcastle | Saturday 2nd March 2019, 17:30 | Sky Sports
West Ham have won just one of their last seven games but they're a lot better at home, losing just one of their last eight games at the London Stadium in all competitions. This includes a win over Arsenal and a draw with Liverpool. They also put up a decent fight against Manchester City during the week, losing just 1-0.
Marko Arnautovic and Manuel Lanzini are both coming back into the Hammers fold and, alongside Felipe Anderson and Michail Antonio, look to have a real strike force coming together. With likes of Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna at the back, West Ham are starting to form a decent side. I can see them really pushing on for the rest of this season and onto next season under Manuel Pellegrini, too.
In contrast to West Ham, Newcastle are in decent form (W4-D1-L1) but their away record isn't up to scratch. They've won just two away games this season and they seem far more comfortable when playing in-front of a home crowd at St. James' Park.
Their good form of late has partly been down to new record signing Miguel Almiron. The Paraguayan signed from MLS side Atlanta United in January and has seriously impressed since arriving on Tyneside. However, I think Declan Rice will be tasked with marking Almiron and I can see the future England star will stop any service coming into Newcastle's star man.
The betting angle
After all that, this is a simple one for me: West Ham to win at 23/20 with Bet365.
The Hammers' home form has been impressive, and Newcastle's away form has been very poor so I think the Hammers can get back to winning ways here. I
can see them scoring a few goals against Rafa Benitez's side who might take their foot of the gas now they're moving further away from the relegation zone.
West Ham v Newcastle – West Ham to win (23/20 Bet365)
I got into betting through my love of sport and started as soon as I turned 18. Football is the main sport I bet on and I like to try out new and obscure markets to try and find value. You can't beat a 8-fold accumulator on a Saturday though! I support Reading and try to get to as many games as possible when I'm back home from university.

100,000 people with clean water!
Thank you for helping us reach this milestone! Together, we have ended the walk for water for 101,000 people. Since 2005, your support has funded a total of 940 projects. So far this year, your gifts have brought clean, convenient water supplies, toilets, and hygiene education to an additional 19,255 people.
We thank our dedicated partner organizations in Bangladesh, Honduras, Ethiopia and India, who allow all of us to channel our compassion into lasting programs that transform lives.
Atker's Story: Over 18,000 people living in urban slum communities in Dhaka and Chittagong gained access to clean water in 2013. One of them is Akter Begum (pictured above), who lives in Chittagong. Akter is 43 years old and a mother of 5 children. In 2013, her community took out a $437 loan from our Bangladesh partner (DSK) to drill a well and install a water system in their community. Now Akter no longer has to wake up early to walk to a distant water point and wait in line with other mothers to fill her containers. She says, "the water crisis is over now for my family. And my children are never late for school."
Your faithful support year after year in turn allows us to consistently support our on-the-ground partners. As a result, our partners are able to nurture trusting relationships with communities and local leaders, and retain qualified and experienced staff.

Jahangir's Story: Each year, DSK is able to form deeper relationships with people living in the neighborhoods where they work. This allows them to serve communities with special needs, like recyclers and toilet pit emptiers, who are especially vulnerable to infectious disease. Starting in 2012, DSK has been working with tea stall owners, to help them improve the hygiene of the food and drinks they serve.
Jahangir is a tea stall owner. He came to live in Dhaka after losing his farm land to river erosion. Jahangir sells tea, biscuits, breads, cakes and bananas. A DSK community health promoter talked with Jahangir about the problems and health risks of keeping fresh food uncovered, where flies can reach it. Jahangir decided to make a glass box to store his foods. Now, not only is the food protected, his sales have increased!
Your donations this year enabled a lot of construction activity in Honduras. Construction will continue into early 2014 in 10 communities whose projects are nearly complete. A large project serving four communities in San Jose, San Antonio, San Simon, and Canfura was completed in mid-2013. San Jose neighbors San Gabriel, Honduras, a community that completed a water and sanitation project in 2007 with your support. We hike through San Jose in order to visit San Gabriel, and every year the people of San Jose flagged us down to meet with them and discuss their problems with water.

San Jose: The story of the people of San Jose is like many in the southern Lempira region. The 800 people that live here are detached from the country's economic centers and basic public services. They have no electricity or roads, and the only way to get to San Jose is on foot. The women of San Jose spent much of their days collecting water from a small stream that runs through the community and that they share with their livestock. You can see a video taken in San Jose before the project was completed.
When community members waved us down for a meeting, our local partner, COCEPRADIL, explained to them the process of implementing a water project — we could not provide any help until the people of San Jose found and purchased a water spring in the mountains to serve as the source of clean water for their project. It took them a couple of years of searching the mountains, and then negotiating with a landowner for purchase of the land. Each family had to pay the equivalent of about $150 to buy the spring and the land surrounding it. They really wanted this water project, so they saved up and sacrificed and now have legal title to a clean, abundant mountain spring that will serve the water supply needs of the community now and many years in the future as the population grows.
The people of San Jose did everything in their power to bring convenient, safe water to their community, and with your financial support, the new water system they built in 2012 and 2013 is now a reality.
The large piped water scheme to serve 1,800 people in Gonbisa Kussaye, a small farming community in Oromia, Ethiopia, is nearly completed. During our February 2013 visit to Ethiopia, we met with the volunteer water committee who will be responsible for maintaining the system when it is completed, and they shared their personal motivations for this project.

Askala's Story: Askala Tulu is in her thirties. She and her neighbors gather water from a muddy stream a mile or more from most people's compounds. Drinking the water poses major health risks for the community. Askala knows that from experience. Last year, she contracted a parasite from drinking the water, probably a worm or a leech. The uninvited guest grew so large, it caused major complications and Askala had to be hospitalized. The medical staff were able to treat her and remove the worm (she says she kept it in a jar in her home to remind herself of the dangers of the untreated water in her community). Askala's trip to the hospital cost her 6000 birr, the equivalent of at least 100 days wages. Her illness nearly killed her and nearly ruined her family financially. As a result of her experience, Askala is determined to do everything in her power to insure that Gonbisa Kussaye has a safe water supply in the future.
When our partner Water Action began organizing the community and facilitating the election of a water committee, Askala made it known that she wanted a role. The community whole-heartedly supported her and voted her on the committee. Askala even told us she would sell all her cattle if that would help make the project a reality. We were happy that we could report to her that Water1st had agreed to fully fund the project and she would not need to sell her cattle.
We are looking forward to cutting the ribbon on the completed project in Gonbisa Kussaye in February 2014.
