There is one HUGE claim on bareMinerals Complexion Rescue launching in April. Namely, to increase skin hydration by 215% in one week. I'm on day 3 with this product, so I will need to do an update in a few days, but for now, I can, hand on heart, say that my skin feels softer and fully hydrated. I was in a good skin place anyway following a product trial, but even with that under my belt, I can feel a difference.
However, while there is that claim of hydration, bareMinerals Complexion Rescue also promises the best of a CC, BB and Tinted Moisturiser, but it's not really fully achieving that in levels of coverage. I've used it more as a primer – an undercoat before foundation, but it's ideal for those days when you want a no makeup look (we all know that can't actually be done with no makeup) and to just freshen the complexion.
The method is interesting – bareMinerals say that instead of the traditional emulsion formula method of using water on the inside and oil on the outside, they've done the opposite, and used a core of squalene surrounded by mineral infused water. In application, this product literally glides over your skin – a lovely sensation.
I've only got the press materials here, but I'd love to fully know the ingredients. I can tell you that it contains olive derived squaline, marine botanicals (could be anything, but most likely seaweed), calcium, potassium and magnesium and heart leaf globe daisy (who?). Added to that, it's got an SPF of 30. Oh, and no oil.
I have a feeling that bareMinerals Complexion Rescue is going to be the hit of the summer, base-wise. I love the feel of the gel creme texture – all I need to do is see if it delivers on the extra hydration promise, but even if it didn't, I'd still be an absolute fan. The moment it hits your skin, you know it's something quite special.
bareMinerals Complexion Rescue will cost £26 (which I think is pretty reasonable) and hits stores in April.
Oh, Is That Right, Ms Winslet?
its intresting formula! where i can buy this?
If that re-moisturising effect delivers, it will be great. I've been looking for a higher SPF (most moisturisers, etc are only SPF15) which won't irritate my already tetchy, sun-allergic skin, so this might be a winner. Can't wait to give it a try when I see it in store.

Question: I have been doing what I thought was going to heal a horrible plague I have and it is getting worse. The Lord will not answer my prayers of desperation. I feel alone with no one to help me. What do I do? Life is terrible and my future bleak.
Response: I cannot really know the intensity of your suffering or the depths of your frustration and despair. It is an easy thing for many people to tell other people who are "under the gun" to "have faith" and to "count it all joy" and the like, but each one of has to bear our own burden, and none of us can really know just how difficult or heavy the burden of another person is (Prov.14:10). We can only operate off of two things: 1) personal experience, and 2) scripture. The former is, while often useful, necessarily a spotty guide to such matters, because there is no way, no matter how long and varied a life and Christian experience we have had, that we can truly say we have "seen it all". Scripture is the only sure guide to these matters, but it has to be understood correctly, and it has to be applied with complete faith.
Judging from my own experience (to start with the less sure of the canons), we human beings invariably start to "crack" before we reach the true breaking point. This is true for many reasons, chief among which is that as possessors of a sin nature, only long training in a secular discipline or habit of enduring a certain type of pressure can, apart from spiritual strength, lead to perseverance beyond what scripture calls "the point of blood" (Heb.12:4; cf. 1Pet.4:1). And even when a person has such natural or developed "sand", what may be good at withstanding one sort of pressure, may not hold up under other sorts of pounding (e.g., one may have a seemingly super-human ability to withstand pain, and yet fold rather easily under emotional stress and strain, or vice-versa).
This brings us back to the reality that only spiritual solutions are sure, and that is especially so when one takes into account that Christians are tried and tested and come in for opposition from the unseen enemy like no other group of people on earth. In searching for spiritual solutions to our troubles, especially when our problems seem to be overwhelming us, it is therefore important that we start with what we know, and hang on for dear life in faith.
We know that God will not allow us to fall into any trial we cannot in fact handle (1Cor.10:13).
We know that He has promised us comfort in our trials sufficient to bring us through (2Cor.1:3-7).
We know that He has promised us deliverance and the provision of everything we need (Ps.91; Matt.6:25-34; Heb.13:5-6).
Under the most severe tests, we may despair of life as Paul did (2Cor.1:8), but even such excruciating trials as this have a point - to teach us that our sufficiency is in God, not ourselves (2Cor.1:9), to show us that God's grace is sufficient for every trial (2Cor.12:8-10), and to remind us that while we may be bloodied, as long as we keep faith with the One who bought us, we will never be broken (2Cor.4:7-12). There comes a point in the life of every Christian who is truly advancing up the high road to Zion in the way our Lord has commanded us to do that we will be shown and led to understand our complete powerlessness in this life and in this world so that we may likewise come to hate this world and our life in it (Lk.14:26-27; Phil.1:21; Jas.4:4-6; 1Jn.2:15-17).
Given the pressures and the pains and the difficulties of life, it is the rare Christian who has never been tempted to pray to the Lord to take him or her "home". Though I am certainly not comparing my problems and health issues with yours, there have been times when, were it not for my desire to fulfill this ministry, that I would probably have prayed such a prayer. But we do not know, none of us do, the precise details of the how and why and when of our service or our release from service on this earth. All we can do is what we should do, namely, to persevere in spite of all difficulty and opposition until the our Lord blows the final trumpet for us. In Paul's case (and in the cases of many great believers in scripture and outside of scripture), the Lord has often brought to the point of complete despair for the very reason of showing His own sufficiency, bringing the believer in question to the point of fully appreciating and internalizing that fact in faith, and glorifying Himself through the faithfulness of the believer in question in spite of, nay, because of the severity of the pressure.
I can only say, based on our correspondence, that you certainly seem to be a person who has been actively and properly seeking the Lord, His will and His truth. That is something of which you should not only be proud, but clear in your own mind and heart that it has been by far the right thing to do, and a thing which pays eternal rewards and dividends that transcend any good or positive result you could ever have on this earth. I want to assure you as well that since you have obviously taken significant and varied earthly measures to deal with your medical problems, you can rest in the fact that you have carried out your responsibility to take advantage of the temporal means that God provides. What I mean by this is with our vast medical establishment today it is very easy, from what I have seen and experienced, for a believer to get the impression that somehow he or she has "dropped the ball" because things do not improve or even get worse. But God is capable of healing us without medicine or doctors - I do indeed believe that He intends for us to take advantage of the resources available - but in all this our hope and faith has to be in Him. If we have reasonably done what we can do, we have the right to rest in faith and leave the matter in the Lord's hands from that point forward.
I am very concerned for you and, believe me, had I the power to alleviate your suffering I would do so. But there is a good reason why we don't have such power - we don't know why God has done what He has done, or when He has determined to change the situation. There a couple of things you say here, however, that I disagree with, and I hope and pray that when I find myself in a similar situation someone will remind me of these words.
You are not alone. God is with you. He is, in fact, in you. His Spirit is the pledge of your resurrection and resides in you, and Jesus promised that He and His Father would also take up residence in all those who love Jesus and obey His teaching (Jn.14:23). God knows everything. Everything that happens in this world was decreed by Him before the world was founded. Not even a hair can drop from your head without His consent, and without His will, and without His continuing effort, neither that hair, nor you and I, nor this universe itself would continue to exist (Heb.1:3). Nothing is impossible for God, and God loved you personally so much that sent His only Son to die for you on the cross, to suffer the blows for ever sin you ever committed or ever will (and for those of the whole world as well). How could He, how would He not also then provide you with everything you need, working everything out for your ultimate and absolute good (Rom.8:28), especially now that you are His very own child through faith in Jesus Christ? He is right here, right now, and He loves you, for you are His son too in Jesus Christ.
I understand that you are in pain, that you are looking at a progression that invites you to project a terrible result, and that you are frustrated by the fact that God has not answered your prayers yet - in the manner in which you would have them answered. But He has heard your prayers. Everything you know about Him tells you that this is so. And He does have your best interests at heart - you know the God with whom we have to do, and you know very well His grace, His mercy, and the love of His Son our Lord. Faith is the reality of things not seen (Heb.11:1), or, put another way, we understand by believing God and His word what the true reality is, and we who have faith opt to focus on that true unseen reality instead of what our eyes tell us, instead of what our friends and family tell us, instead of what our pain, our fear, and our frustration tell us - instead of what the whole world is apt to tell us. For we know this world and what it really is, and we have no love for it. We have been crucified to it and it to us through our faith in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ (Gal.6:14), and we expect no ultimate quarter from it.
I understand that your life seems terrible - from one point of view, the point of view of your insoluble problem. However, there are many who are in no pain and are living "wonderful" lives of abundance in every way who do not know Jesus Christ - but you do. And there are many believers who have never taken the opportunity in this life to get to know Him well, much less minister to Him in their own unique way - but you have, like the way you have ministered to me and spurred my ministry in many ways. This life can be terrible for the world is a terrible place, except that in Christ it has become wonderful for all Christians when we truly do recognize it for the opportunity it presents and exploit that opportunity to the full. For all the trials, and struggles, and pain, and deprivation, and loss, and tears, and frustration are only "momentary light affliction" and are working out for us "an eternal weight of glory" no matter how we find ourselves wasting away (2Cor.4:16-17). The troubles we endure are truly not worthy to be compared to the glories to come, to the eternal rewards which we know for a fact will outshine the temporary pleasures and well-being of this life to a degree unimaginable - if only we don't lose heart.
I want you to get well. I want you to be healed. I want this trial to come to an end for you in a glorious and wonderful way. To this end I will continue to pray. But don't lose the opportunity to grow, to witness, and to minister. What we think in our hearts inevitably comes out in our words and our deeds, and we are under constant observation, by believers, by unbelievers, and by the angels, elect and fallen. In my experience, observation, and reading of scripture, the times when we have the opportunity to minister in the most effective and impressive manner are inevitably the very times when we fell unable to do so at all because of the seeming impossibility of the test or trouble at hand. But our God is a God of the impossible, and deliberately so. It was impossible for fallen man to be saved, and yet He has accomplished our salvation at the most incredible cost, the death of His own dear Son. So there is no question that He can help you too; the question is why He is delaying that help, and I think by this point in my message you can discern my thinking here.
You have been an inspiration to many people in many ways. I know that your path has not been easy and that your present circumstances seem impossible - as if this Red Sea will never part. I cannot say that I would hold up under your circumstances as well as you already have, espeicaly while continuing to make seeking the Lord and His truth a priority as you do. I would hope so, but I would not dare to say so before the fact. So the request I have for you is perhaps not a fair one, because the burden is yours not mine, and because I cannot say that I would do so (though such is my hope). Don't be like the Israelites who were sure that they would be destroyed when they saw the Egyptians bearing down from behind and the Sea shutting them off in front. Even though your situation is likewise definitely impossible by earthly lights, be instead like Moses who told them to "stand fast - and watch the Lord's deliverance". Moses knew through the knowledge of faith that God would deliver - and was willing to wait for that deliverance and to accept it whatever form it would take. He believed in the Lord's ability to deliver, and was willing to wait past the point when everyone else had abandoned hope because the situation seemed so impossible - and he turned out to be right. To me, this is what faith means. We don't see it, but yet we believe it. We may have some definite solution in mind, but we know that our God is wise beyond imagining, and are willing to accept His will and His solutions in spite of all our preconceived notions. We feel the heat and the pressure, but comport ourselves like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego - confident of the Lord's ability to deliver, but ready, willing and able to endure a fiery death in the cause of our Lord if only we might be blessed to glorify Him in that way (and of course they were vindicated and delivered too, in spite of the impossibility of it).
So that whatever we do, in life or death, in sickness or in health, in pleasure or in pain, in security or in instability, we do with a joyous, peaceful, confident faith in Him, in who He is, in His good intentions for us, and in His grace towards us, seeking to let His will be done for us and to us, knowing that in this way whatever should happen will be for our ultimate good (Rom.8:28). This is a faith that when brought to completion and fulfillment does indeed glorify Him, refute the evil one, and lead many who witness it to salvation and spiritual growth to the glory and good pleasure of our dear Savior who paid the ultimate price for us (1Pet.1:6-9).
The world tells us we're alone, but we know that we have Him at our right hand, and we must be careful to keep Him always before us. The world says there is no help, but we know that He is our Helper, our shield and our strength, and that He will be our deliverance. The world tells us that we have no prospects, no future, but we have trusted in Jesus Christ for resurrection, and we have followed Him faithfully so that we are sure of and assured of great reward in His Kingdom to come. The world says our lot is terrible - and indeed if in this life only we have trusted, then we are to be pitied above all men - but we have a hope that grounds us like an anchor reaching into the very throne room of God Almighty where our Savior has gone before us to prepare the way. So that whether we go to Him, or whether He comes to us, we are only here for Him in truth. Let us therefore make every effort to also be here only for Him in all that we do as well.
Once a good Christian is sure in his heart that he is on the right road and the right course, once he has done all he can reasonably do to move forward along that road, then he need have no fear, no regret, no second thoughts, no doubts. From that point on, he/she can relax in the peace of the Lord, contemptuous of the world's opinion and of its solutions, confident in the Lord and in the timeliness, rightness, goodness and graciousness of His solutions.
From where I sit, you have and are acquitting yourself well. Hold on tight to that faith, and stand by and watch the deliverance of the Lord.


As Prince sang, sometimes it snows in April. Quite often in fact. The sound that starts the latest release from the Memory Drift album is the twanging of a barbed wire fence recorded a couple of years ago around this time of year at an old chalk and flint mine. Most of the hillside is missing, leaving cliffs and chalky grass topped stalagmites. There are grassy meteor strike bowls formed from ancient flint mines and the place reminds me of the Max Ernst picture Europe After the Rain. So two years ago outside drumming and discovering twangy fences; this year biting winds and polystyrene snow.

CityTV, The Bachelor Canada November 23, 2012

'The Bachelor Canada' finale review: Did Brad Smith make the right choice?
It may not be Thanksgiving in Canada like it is in the United States at the moment, but we still have an inclination that viewers of "The Bachelor Canada" are still feeling as though they have quite a bit to be thankful for at the moment. For at least a good percentage of this season, […]
'The Bachelor Canada': Who do Brad Smith's eliminated ladies want to see win?
Brad Smith, CityTV, The Bachelor Canada November 17, 2012
Last week, we published what were effectively our prediction for "The Bachelor Canada" finale coming up this week: even though we would rather see Bianka end up being Brad Smith's fiancee, everything when it comes to the trajectory of the show suggests that he will end up picking Whitney instead. She has spent more time […]
'The Bachelor Canada': Who is the best choice for Brad Smith?
As we wrote over the weekend in our review of "The Bachelor Canada," there are only two people left who have a shot at winning Brad Smith's heart … at least so long as he doesn't pull a fast one and suddenly decide that he wants Chantelle or Kara to come back into his life. […]
'The Bachelor Canada': Did Brad Smith make the right decision?
ABC, The Bachelor Canada November 9, 2012

Brad Smith, CityTV, The Bachelor Canada November 3, 2012
"The Bachelor Canada" is almost at an end already, even though it really does still feel as though this show just began a matter of days ago.

'The Bachelor Canada' episode 4: Are we really already at hometown dates?
Brad Smith, CityTV, The Bachelor Canada October 27, 2012
Last week on "The Bachelor Canada," we confessed that we were actually starting to enjoy this version of the show more than its American counterpart.

I should like to put my mission statement on top of a picture that I am inserting using the picture widget but I don't know how to do it. Advice please?
Open the picture on your local computer, open any simple image editing program like paint, or photoshop if you have it. Then, select the text tool, write some text ontop of the image, save it, upload it to yola, and you're done!
Thanks - I should have guessed it was that easy.
I confess I am struggling with quite a lot of things in Yola - I have no html or CSS or photoshop experience - but the pics thing is a really mind bender for me.
I want to change my background image, but cant work out a definitive size and also, in the purchasable stock photos, how do you know which is the suitable one for to use fo the Yola picture frames?
Also, is it possible to put a picture in the page header?
How to add my logo to the banner area?
You can see a full list of our tutorials here.
debbym, did Francois's suggestions help?
I have replied via email but I still need answers to a couple of questions and then I will go away I promise. I have been trying to build a decent website now for nearly a month and didn't expect to have to learn html and CSS when I orignally signed up for Yola, but I have now so I suppose that is not a bad thing.
I have watched every Yola tv and I have read every tutorial as far as I can see and I still am not finding the answers to these questions so if you could help I would appreciate it.
If I use stock photography what are the sizes I should choose: I can work out the banner size from the existing banner but I am not sure what is the optimum for a small picture. Also what size should one get for a background? It is difficult to choose from the stock photography and I don't want to make expensive mistakes.
Can I insert a picuture in a heading?
When you are building websites, learning HTML and CSS is not a bad thing :) It is like learning a new language - one that helps you to understand your sites layout and formatting much easier.
We appreciate that you have taken the time to view Yola tv and read the tutorials, but I think you are correct in saying we do not yet have one that answers the questions you have asked here.
If you are choosing stock photography for your site and want a small picture, the "small" size will be suitable. These usually require only 1-5 credits, but are large enough for websites. In fact, you might find that you need to reduce the size or crop the image once you add it to your site.
Background images are a bit different because there is more than one way in which to use them on websites. For example, you can add one large background image or you could use a smaller picture and tile in so that it repeats on the background. Of course, this will depend on the picture you choose and the end result you have in mind for your site.
Example 1: You want one picture that does not take over the whole page.
If you choose a picture that is situated on a particular part of the webpage such as the top left-hand corner, you can choose a small picture size and select where to position the picture when you add it to your site. See the screen shot below of how to do this in Yola.
If you choose a picture to use as a backdrop of your whole page, you will need to use a medium or large picture size because it will need to fill a large space.
I hope this answers your questions. Let us know if you have any more questions or need more help.
Thanks so much Nazlie. That helps enormously.
I have learnt an awful lot over this last few weeks and I think I am getting frustrated because I am an advanced user of PowerPoint, Publisher etc and this program is just not doing what I expect it to.
Anyway, I am getting there and when it is done it will be a thing of beauty!
Wishing you all the best on building your site. I'm sure it will be awesome!


According to the Met department forecasts, foggy conditions will prevail in Punjab, upper Sindh, and Peshawar division on December 24-25. On December 23, authorities at Lahore airport briefly considered to halt flight operations due to the poor visibility; fog had reduced visibility up to 50 m (164 ft) in Lahore. Road traffic was also affected with the authorities interrupting traffic for several hours on various motorways (e.g. from Lahore to Kot Momin, or from Peshawar to Rashkai) on December 23. Foggy conditions and related transportation disruptions are expected to persist in Punjab's plains over the next few days, while the weather will remain very cold in the northern regions.
Fog usually occurs during the winter season in upper Sindh, central Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Punjab provinces. In the North, the months of December, January, and February usually experience cold conditions, with recurrent cold breezes, blow, and rain.
Individuals in the northern part of the country are advised to monitor local weather reports, allow for extra travel time in affected areas, and exercise caution when driving.

Donald Trump State Visit: All the details as US president prepares to land at Stansted Airport
The US President's State Visit begins on Monday, June 3
Alasdair Hooper
Updated 18:34, 2 JUN 2019
US President Donald Trump will visit the UK next month (Image: Olivier Douliery)
Donald Trump's state visit to the UK is on the horizon with the US president due to arrive tomorrow (Monday, June 3).
The US President is visiting the UK from June 3 to June 5 with the ceremonial trip coming just days before the anniversary of D-Day.
President Trump is also expected to attend a grand military event in Portsmouth on June 5 in commemoration of the landings made during World War Two.
But Essex is set to get its own taste of the controversial leader as the Republican is due to fly in through Stansted Airport on Monday morning, as he did on his last state visit some 11 months before.
D-Day 75: The route over Essex revealed ahead of Wednesday's 75th commemoration flypast
His first official state visit to the UK last July saw Air Force One land at the Essex Airport which has been the preferred choice for the last few years.
Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States and President Trump's predecessor, also used Stansted each time he visited these shores.
What is planned during Trump's state visit?

President Trump has a number of activities planned throughout his trip.
On Monday morning, the President will fly into Stansted Airport in Essex and touch down on UK soil.
During his trip he will attend a grand military spectacle in commemoration of D-Day, to take place in Portsmouth on June 5.
Hundreds of D-Day veterans will be given a naval gun salute as they sail across the channel to France to mark the anniversary of the Normandy landings.
Martin and Su's Heart Essex breakfast show legacy will live on thanks to the 'Friday Song'
There promises to be thousands of troops, dozens of planes and an armada of naval vessels.
There will also be a flypast of 26 RAF aircraft including a Spitfire and the Red Arrows, before veterans embark on a ship to France.
What are the big issues at hand?
While Theresa May rolled out the red carpet, officers in the regions were left struggling (Image: PA)
As reported by the Mirror, officially the visit is timed to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day.
In theory the visit should be kept free from the ongoing turmoil surrounding British politics.
But Theresa May's resignation will cast a long shadow over the visit, with all eyes on whether the President will endorse a successor.

And reports suggest the President will confront Theresa May over Brexit and the role of Huawei in building the UK's 5G phone network.
The US has banned the Chinese firm from any involvement in its networks over fears they could be accessed by the communist state.
But the UK so far hasn't followed suit, despite massive pressure from Washington.


A lot has been happening at the Island QTH in addition to the ongoing Garage Building project.
For quite a while I've been using a CrankIR Vertical or a DX Engineering Hexbeam at the Island QTH.
Not best location at maybe 6 ft elevation and still dependent on an "Armstrong Rotor" (Manual rotation) for directional control, but is the very quick time I was on the air it works just fine.
Report received were excellent, and even at this low height the receive sensitivity is noteworthy.
I was only on the air about an hour and made under two dozen contacts, as the weather was far too fine to be on the radio.
Wonder how I could add a mobile HF setup to my recumbent bike without adding 30 pounds of weight? Hmm… that way I could do radio while being outside and active!
The tower on the bluff is used by one of the broadband providers (they offer their flavor of Motorola's Canopy System).
A lot has been happening at the Island QTH – the biggest is the ongoing Garage Building project.
And just as importantly the first non-temporary antenna will be going in – a Zero-Five custom extra-heavy-duty Flagpole Multi-Band Vertical antenna.
The concrete base should go in at the same time the garage apron slab is poured.
Zero-Five made two extra-heavy-duty custom antennas to meet my wind/weather special needs. The have tilt-over-bases and a loading-balun for 80m.
One of the two Zero-Five made is reserved for my home QTH to be installed later this year or next spring. These antennas truly are also functioning flagpoles, though I wonder what might happen to a flag when running an amp?
The trenching contractor in the island is running a 4-inch buried conduit to the antenna, so I can both bury a feed-line, and run power to lights for the flag. I may eventually experiment with a remote antenna tuner at the base of the antenna as well, and the conduit makes adding internet easier later. Ideally it would be nice to separate the different cables, but as most trenching involved breaking out bedrock I will have to settle for a single conduit and go with the best shielded cables available.
To work well this model requires buried radials, and eventually lots of them.
Because of the bedrock the usual base has been redesigned to make best use of the "rock solid" situation.
Can you be Shadow Banned at eHam?
After a period of being locked out of the eHam Forums but able to access the main page as "logged in" it looks like my eHam user has been unlocked. No idea if this was just a bad week at eHam or all of my various devices, or real "shadow banning" in action.
Can a person end up Shadow Banned at eHam?
Unlike overt Banning, where the participant is told to go away, and perhaps their account is locked, Shadow Banning is done covertly and if questioned is denied.
Has eHam taken up the practice of Shadow Banning?
Kind of seems so, as shortly after my critiques of eHam moderation my eHam account password for just the forums was changed, effectively blocking me from posting on the forums.
Password still works for the general website, but not the forums. Actually it works for the main forum page, but locks me out when going to a specific forum.
On the positive side several of the worst of eHam's pet trolls seem to have gone quiet as well.
If my account is collateral damage in a stealth effort to better the level of participation, so be it. Small price to pay.
Again without real effective moderation and careful curating eHam is not much more than click-bait for eager hams looking for quality information.
I have one of the earliest Flex-6600M radios released, as I was added to the Alpha Test Team.
As such my expectations have been from delivery that this particular radio would be likely to need some updating along the way.
I have been running the radio 24/7 since delivery, and though no performance problems came up the Heat sinks on the ADC boards fell off or slid down (one fell and one slid).
Flex-6600M heat sinks, one fell and one slid. Easily replaced with new bigger heat sinks on the backside of the boards.
FlexRadio Systems had mailed a field repair kit and because I had no noticeable issues I put off installation until today.
Took me longer to gather my tools than do the job!
Basically you take the top of the radio off, remove a screw so you can pull each ADC board free, add the new heat sink while removing or securing the original heat sinks, reseat the ADC board, put the secure entry screws back, and put the top back on.
There are two heat sinks to deal with in the Flex-6600/6600M radios and just one heat sink in the Flex-6400/6400M models.
In my case I removed the original heat sinks completely, though some hams are securing them in place along with the new heat sink installation.
One wonders if there is a heat sink adhesive problem, as there are reports that some new Icom transceivers also have a heat sink problem. Not certain if those radios can be repaired in the field.
FlexRadio Systems released a PEN (Product Enhancement Notice) that covers the heat sinks and a preamp enhancement for 6m. I'm holding off sending the radio in for the rest of this PEN.
BTW FlexRadio Systems picks up the tab if you'd rather send your radio in for this PEN. My total time invested was circa ten minutes.

High Wycombe - Did you know?
Did you know the name Wycombe appears to come from the river Wye and the old English word for a wooded valley, combe, but according to the Oxford English Dictionary of Place-Names the name, which was first recorded in 799-802 as 'Wichama', is more likely to be Old English 'wic' and the plural of Old English 'ham', and probably means 'dwellings'; the name of the river was a late back-formation. Wycombe appears in the Domesday Book and was noted for having six mills. The town once featured a Roman villa (built 150–170 AD) which was excavated three times, most recently in 1954. Mosaics and a bathhouse were unearthed at the site on what is now the Rye parkland. High Wycombe was the home of Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli.

More support for small businesses through business hotline
December 31, 1899, 12:00 am December 31, 1899 80
The federal government has expanded their business hotline to support small-and-medium businesses impacted by the coronavirus.
Operations at the contact centre will be available seven days a week between 7am-11pm to provide specialised advice.
skills, small and family business minister Michaelia Cash said the
extended service will help businesses seeking more information and
clarity.
"During these challenging times businesses that have been
impacted by COVID-19 need readily available access to advice so they
can fully understand the assistance available to them and their
employees," she said.
Industry, science, and technology minister
Karen Andrews said the increased support through the business hotline is
a centralised and practical measure.
"We don't want our
businesses who are already experiencing the stress of trying to stay
afloat and pay their staff to struggle to navigate the support on offer –
so we're taking this simple step," she said.
"The government is committed to doing all we can to help our businesses get through this outbreak and come out the other side."

edit: new version with new long exposure data ( 52 x 240sec ) and better dark subtraction / dithering to remove streaks in the noise and amp glow. This also allowed for a greater stretch revealing more faint data in the galaxy and small faint fuzzies in the image ..
Below the equator, not seen from much of the Northern hemisphere, NGC 1365 passes very nearly directly overhead an observer situated near Cape Town, as Sir John Herschel was in November of 1837, or near Sydney, as I was, almost exactly 180 years later, when I photographed this "remarkable nebula" that is numbered 2552 in his book of observations from the Cape.
Not called a "nebula" now, of course, this striking object is one of the nearest and most studied examples of a barred spiral ( SB ) galaxy that also has an active galactic nuclei resulting in its designation as a Seyfert galaxy.
At around 60 M light years from Earth, NGC 1365 is still seen to occupy a relatively large area ( 12 by 6 arc minutes ) due to its great size; at some 200,000 light years or so across, NGC 1365 is nearly twice as wide as the Milky Way and considerably wider than both the Sculptor and Andromeda galaxies.
This High Dynamic Range ( HDR ) image is built up from multiple exposures ranging from 4 to 120 seconds with the aim of capturing the faint detail in the spiral arms of the galaxy whilst also retaining colour in the brightest star ( the orange-red 7th magnitude giant, HD 22425 ). Also, scattered throughout the image, and somewhat more difficult to see, are numerous and far more distant galaxies with apparent magnitudes of 16 to 18 or greater.
DEC (2000.0) -36 deg 8' 36.5"
Telescope: Orion Optics CT12 Newtonian ( mirror 300mm, fl 1200mm, f4 ).
Corrector: ASA 2" Coma Corrector Quattro 1.175x.
6 sets of sub-images with exposure duration for each set doubling ( 4s to 120s ) all at ISO400.
Field of view ..... 58' 8.6" x 38' 47.5"
Stunning Mike. The detail is jaw dropping.
A beautiful shot of this object and taken with a DSLR to. You must have stunning sky down there and I imagine this target gets much higher than it ever does even from where I am.
And yes, very high up for me - almost to the zenith.
A glorious Galaxy and a stunning image !
I did manage some binocular observing, a few years back when I visited my Daughter, in Katoomba.
Fabulous details in the galaxy - good job.
How did you find using binoculars in the mountains? I was wondering whether it might be an idea to set up a pair to look through while my rig churns away on taking images ( I tried holding them by hand but the shake was too annoying ).
That is a fantastic image of what is really quite a tiny object; in my scope NGC 1530 would be just a little blob in the middle!
Mike, thanks a stunning target, and a stunning image of it - you've really captured the outer arms. You constantly amaze me at what you can achieve with a DSLR.
I love barred galaxies - sadly I can't reach this one and I don't have a 2-meter scope yet for it's northern twin - (but who knows - maybe Santa will bring me one!).
Thanks Peter, that is very kind of you.
Thank you Rodd, much appreciated. I am really pleased with the scope and with my new Feather Touch focuser and D7500 camera.
Having said that, this was the 'first light' with my new Nikon D7500 and I still have a bit of experimenting to do in order to find the optimal exposure settings and processing. The thermal noise does appear to have a very low level fixed pattern that I may have to try to deal with. In this case I messed up dithering and produced a near constant rate of drift in one direction and hence the stripes in the low level noise. Correct dithering may fix most of the pattern noise but there is also very low level amp glow at the left that I don't think dithering will fix.
hence the stripes in the low level noise.
Now that you mention this I took a closer look at the background and see what you mean. Its always something. Your processing skills have almost eliminated the pattern.
I know DSLRs are more for "official" AP imaging and I should probably stick with my trusty ASI224 or maybe think about a 294 or similar sensors but....as probably many, I have a DSLR sitting at home not doing much. Can I do EAA with it?
Today is quite easy to have 24Mp in relativity cheap bodies so why not to use it somehow? Small pixels..I know, but maybe going for wide field and bright objects with fast lenses it may still work and give something interesting. Anyone tried? Any experience?
What I really like of EAA is the ability to do everything while observing and without the need to come back for long processing sessions. I have searched around a bit but I can't find a stacking software like Sharpcap for DSLR doing live viewing as well as stacking. I think I could somehow save each frame in a folder and then stack them with DSS (if I got the name right) but can I then control remotely the camera, exposition and have live preview when slewing around?
Just interested to know if anyone know more about this or more in general discuss about DSLR and EAA.
This is the first lights of my ASA 12"N f/3.62 (purchased in 2007) with my Moravian G4-16000 CCD camera using one KAF-16803 chip of 36mm x 36mm (4K x 4K).
The adjustments, collimation, ASA OK3-Z pression screws, asked a lot of attention.
For a precise collimation, i use the CATSEYE XL & XLKP kit.
This is the first 3hrs of exposures taken the last weekend in one night. The second night was too windy unfortunately.

We wrap up a huge year with an exclusive wallpaper range with Alisa and Lysandra.
Home / Events / We wrap up a huge year with an exclusive wallpaper range with Alisa and Lysandra.
By swim_admin
Grafico is Australia's leading design signage company making a name for itself in the bespoke projects it undertakes from one off mosaic tiles to its latest collaboration with Australia's famous interior design twins Alisa and Lysandra.polvam
Damian and the Grafico team first worked with A&L on a challenge for the Block's Fans vs. Favs back in 2013 and since then they have collaborated on a number of speciality wallpapers for interior design projects before this latest range of children's wallpaper.
"Grafico is great to work with and Damian and his team have brought our ideas to life," says Lysandra Fraser.
Designed and produced exclusively by Grafico in Australia, this inaugural range of wallpaper is representative of Alisa and Lysandra's styling, and reflects current interior trends and colour forecasts that are understated, playful and contemporary.
The designs are primarily targeted at little ones under the age of five, although from the initial response to previews it seems some big kids and even adults wouldn't mind having them in their rooms!
"Wallpaper adds a different dimension to interiors; it creates incredible visual appeal that has the capacity to completely transform a space" says Alisa Fraser.
Celebrating over 10 years Grafico is making a name for itself as a company designers' turn to when they want bespoke and custom coverings whether it be for cars, wall coverings, or tiles.
Grafico is credited with the world's first Graffiti bath from the latest series of the Block and also has the exclusive rights for the much talked about Mosaico Digitale from Italy – where tiles can be made from any design.
"The release of Alisa and Lysandra's wallpaper range is the culmination of a huge year for Grafico and our work," says Damian.
The collection will premiere on their renovation special 'Alisa and Lysandra to The Rescue', airing nationally on the Nine Network on Thursday 26th November 2015.
"It's a case of 'move over baby blue, and see you later baby pink'; our new collection embraces fresh, contemporary hues and patterns that will grow with your child" Alisa Fraser.

Yale Classmate Of Brett Kavanaugh To Share With FBI His 'Violent Drunken' Behavior
Tue, October 2 by Staff
HomeNational NewsYale Classmate Of Brett Kavanaugh To Share With FBI His 'Violent Drunken' Behavior
A classmate of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh at Yale University, Charles Ludington, will provide information to the FBI on Monday. News of Ludington's involvement was first reported by The Washington Post, who said he planned to give a statement to the FBI at its field office in Raleigh, North Carolina, "detailing violent drunken behavior by Kavanaugh in college." In a copy of his statement provided to the publication, Ludington, a professor at North Carolina State University, described Kavanaugh as a "belligerent and aggressive" drunk. During his Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last week, Kavanaugh was repeatedly asked about his drinking habits in school, but denied having a problem. However in his statement, Ludington wrote that "if he lied about his past actions on national television, and more especially while speaking under oath in front of the United States Senate, I believe those lies should have consequences." A senior U.S. official confirmed that the White House counsel's office directed the FBI to interview the following witness list of four: Kavanaugh friends Mark Judge and P.J. Smyth, Leland Keyser, a friend of Ford's who Ford says was at the party, and Deborah Ramirez, who accused Kavanaugh of exposing himself to her when they were both students at Yale University.

Report said following:
There was 1 error:

I found that there was a 'Logout (demo)' link, not just 'Logout'. If I change php code in testcase, all tests pass ok. Is it error of Yii developers or am I missing something?

It looks like currently, you can use amrecover to browse a properly indexed dump from a Zmanda Windows Client readily enough.
Recovering an actual file requires using amfetchdump to get the whole pkzipped image and then extracting the file(s) you want from the resulting zip file.
I can run a command like "unzip ZippedImageFile TargetFile" to extract a specific file with out moving the whole thing to the Windows box, but getting amrecover to do it all in one shot would be great.
PKZIP tool directly. PKZIP can extract ZIP64 archives without using ZWC.
I know this is a "me too" posting, but if the Amanda Windows client's output (in ZIP64) cannot be extracted by amrecover on the Linux Amanda server side (whereas Linux Amanda client dumps *can* be), then this is a serious omission in Amanda's Windows support.
Having to extract an entire DLE's dump as an uncompressed zip file by default using amfetchdump is pretty unacceptable - if it also happens to be a level 0 dump, this could be a massive zip file (which you might only want to extract 1 file from!).
I'm going to look into changing the Windows client side options to use something like 7-Zip (with no compression), which is also available on Linux (as a 7za binary). Not sure exactly how to do this though, since the last time I looked, the docs surrounding this sort of change weren't exactly verbose (e.g. what CLI options to 7-Zip should be given and how do I specify them in the Amanda client/server configs?). Looking at the Amanda server source code, I"m also concerned it might need server code changes rather than just config changes.

6 Actors Who Came Out Of The Closet In 2017
Love is in the air, and the LGBTQ revolution is upon us!
By Menahil Shahid Last updated Aug 11, 2021
Despite many who are against love such as that tart-face Mike Pence and sexually frustrated pastors, we saw numerous Gay actors fabulously come out of the closet in the year 2017. We hope that the humans are as tolerant as God is. We like to imagine that he spends most of his time looking at cats now since we gave a person like Trump control over the nukes.

Here's the list of the 6 Actors Who Came Out Of The Closet In 2017:
1 Rutina Wesley
Source: inmagazine
Famous for her role as Tara Thornton in HBO series, True Blood, Rutina Wesley came out like many others on Instagram. The star announced her engagement to a chef based in New Orleans, Chef Shonda claiming; "You are the sunshine of my life…"

I haven't cried this many happy tears since I got a free pizza last year.
2 Brandon Flynn
The 13 Reasons Why actor officially came out in September and has since spotted with Sam Smith, the Lay Me Down singer.
He said in an Instagram post: "Equality takes courage; it worries me that too many people in this world lack the balls to stand up for what is right."
https://www.instagram.com/p/BZJpx_NAhRl/
Yes, we are shipping them very hard now.
3 Jordan Gavaris
The 27-year-old may have played the gay best friend in Orphan Black, but it wasn't until June that he came out as a part of the LGBTQ+ society.
No wonder he was that good at the role.
4 Shannon Purser
Source: People
Nominated for an Emmy after her role in the Netflix Original series, Stranger Things, Purser came out as bisexual on twitter.
Getting comfortable with your sexuality is a process,
she wrote. "It's going to be okay. I wish I'd known that sooner… I know what it's like to have anxiety about it. Especially trying to come to terms with it and my faith." Her beloved character Barb would surely be proud, and so are we.
5 Kevin Spacey
Even we think Spacey had terrible timing when he came out as gay after being accused of sexually assaulting a 13-Year-old boy about 30 years ago. It's safe to say we've taken him off the pedestal.
Of all the people to be accused this past year, Spacey stabbed us in our poor hearts and cackled as he turned the knife. Ouch.
6 Daniel Newman
Source: theadvocate
With roles in the Walking Dead and the Dark Night Rises, the actor admitted his hesitance to acknowledge his bisexuality publically. He said the following in an interview with People Magazine:
I'm proud of who I am.
We're proud of you too, and maybe a little sad. All the good actors are taken. Either by the fantastic LGBTQ+ community or sexual misconduct allegations. Who am I supposed to daydream about now?

The Irish Medical Devices Association (IMDA) announced the University of Limerick as the winner of their Academic Contribution to Medtech Award at the Irish Medical Technology Industry Awards last night, jointly hosted with Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland. The award was presented to Dr Eamonn de Barra, Department of Mechanical, Aeronautical and Biomedical Engineering for UL's research collaboration with leading medical devices company Stryker.
Eamonn De Barra said: "We are absolutely delighted to win this award. It emphasises the success and impact that is possible via collaboration between leading medical a device multinational such as Stryker and responsive and focussed research institutes such as the HRI and Bernal Institutes at UL. We hope this success marks a new chapter in our continued and expanding collaboration between Stryker and the University of Limerick, to the continued benefit of patients, surgeons. We would like to gratefully acknowledge the support of The Irish Research Council under their Enterprise Partnership Scheme."
Director of the IMDA Sinead Keogh said: "It's been nearly a decade since we launched the awards and in that time the sector has prospered with the number of companies in Ireland rising to over 400 this year. Since the beginning of 2014 over 2,000 jobs have been announced in the sector. It's vital that strategic sectors which drive regional growth are supported: tonight's winners Abbott Diagnostic Longford, AventaMed in Cork and the University of Limerick highlight regional successes."
This research was undertaken by researchers involved in the Bernal Project, Health Research Institute at the University of Limerick and is funded by the Irish Research Council under their Enterprise Partnership Scheme.


In her 'Grow Old Series' interior designer Merve Kahraman tried to create solutions to negative effects of obsolescence, excessive consumerism and the lack of emotional attachment between users and their products. Part of this series is the 'Revitalizer', a wax-lamp that re-creates itself over time, allowing its owner to re-use it and observe the growing-old, dying and rebirth cycle of the lamp. The high voltage bulb inside the lamp melts the wax slowly and after all wax melted down into the cup, the heat resistance inside the core helps the wax to create a new mould. Once the wax cools down and takes its shape, the user can replace it into the top part of the lamp again. The soft lamp shapes various forms, creating surprise and a feeling of relaxation while watching.

Over the past fifteen years we have bred and sold many young sport horse prospects. We look for temperament first when we buy young prospects, and we offer athletic young horses capable of competing well at dressage, hunting or eventing. We only work with one or two prospects at any one time, giving each the time to develop with the personal attention necessary to develop sound minds and bodies. Our young horses are ponied along trails before they ever go under saddle, teaching them sound trail manners and givng them the confidence to be bold cross country partners to their new owners. Our horses have excellent manners in and out of the barn, load well and are accustomed to being off the farm from a young age. Our large stream on the property helps our young horses learn to enjoy and cross water from the outset, and once under saddle they progress rapidly into solid performance horse prospects. Most of our horses are sold between the ages of five and six, unless we keep them ourselves for a period. At this point, we do not have any prospects for sale, however we do have a four-year-old thoroughbred mare who is a prospect. We will post photos of our young prospects soon, and below you will see our sold prospects.

In August 2017 I purchased an Aston Martin Rapide S from a main dealer however within 2 weeks of taking delivery I received a notification from John Lawson advertising the low rate funding offers available from Spire Asset Funding.
Curious to look at the numbers I was amazed to discover that they could save me £100 per month if I settled my existing dealer finance and refinanced using one of the SAF lending partners. I agreed to do this and John came down to London to complete an asset inspection and to sign up the necessary paperwork. The following day the deal was paid out and my old agreement was settled, my new agreement implemented and I was financially better off .
A very painless process and one that illustrates that you are not always getting the best funding deal from a dealer/manufacturer and I would recommend to all that you call Spire Asset Funding as they are friendly, professional, their service is first class and they may be able to save you some money.


There are elements of my personality I was unaware of until I started reflecting upon my personal circumstance through my writing. When I started blogging, I genuinely didn't think anyone outside of my immediate circle of colleagues and friends was likely to read it. When my writing started to gain a modest following I went through the gamut of emotions from shocked, to happy, to more-than-a-little concerned, at the sudden scrutiny I felt myself to be under. Even now, when I hit the blue 'Publish' button I have a miniature panic attack, while my brain processes all the various worst-case-scenarios that my writing could bring about. My mental state being what it is, I spend my life trapped in a web of hyperresponsibility, waiting to be caught out for a crime I'm certain I've unwittingly committed. This blog has given me pause to think about these elements of my personality, as well as a fresh perspective on the politics and pitfalls of writing, particularly writing in public.
It was the sudden upswing in the popularity of this blog that has made me stop and consider the things I have written. I have always gone to great lengths to distance myself from the experiences I talk about in these posts, in order to both scrub them of identifying features, as well as shed new light on them. I can look at the less pleasant realities of being a long-term casual academic for example, and scrutinise them as one would a bug under a microscope. That being said, no Smart Casual is an island and my stories inevitably play host to a cast of characters who exist at the centre of their own stories, but on the fringes of mine. I have covered topics on my blog as diverse as parenting, mental illness, and the casualisation of higher education in Australia. My stories are my own, but they also belong, in part, to the institutions at which I work as well as to my peers and colleagues. So what does this mean for the act of writing in a public space?
[…] there is a fine line to be drawn between raising awareness through personal anecdotes and protecting oneself and one's professional identity – selfishly – to not render the situation worse, on an individual level. Perhaps blogging and other social media – no matter how openly, cautiously, personally or professionally it is done – can help us find that line, as a sector and a profession, and thus to raise awareness without harming ourselves. It's this line that I will have to learn to walk, though I doubt I'll be doing it in silence or on my own.
While I don't think it is necessarily 'selfish' to want to protect yourself from the potential negative repurcussions of blogging about 'the private', my circumstance is such that this isn't so much of a concern of mine. My lack of a PhD makes me immune to the fear of career fall-out, because for me, an academic "career" is unlikely to eventuate, and my circumstance is such that casual teaching is becoming an untenable situation anyway. The way my writing has gained its following seems to be because the stories I tell resonate with other people who are in a similar predicament, albeit for different reasons. Readers respond to my 'truthiness'. It has only been through my public writing that I have come to understand that my feelings of isolation and fatigue are not mine alone. My blog was never intended to be an exercise in 'awareness raising' about the issues affecting casual academics in Australia, however for some it has functioned in that way and for that I am glad. From what I can tell, it is the very ordinariness of my story that people relate to, which is an extraordinary feeling, while at the same time being very humbling.
"I'm so sorry" I say to the train door as it closes on me. "Excuse me!" I exclaim to the awkwardly positioned coffee table as I bang my kneecap on it. "Probably my fault" I say to the barista who messed up my coffee order (for the record, it totally wasn't).
I come from a long line of apologisers. My Mum apologises frequently and with passion. She issues apologies that are heartfelt and sincere. There wouldn't be a problem for this except she apologises for things she didn't do and has no need to take responsibility for. Her hyperresponsibility has now become my own. This has become part of my personal narrative; the story I tell myself when I reflect privately on my life and experiences. It can be summed up thusly: everything is bad, and it's all my fault.
The process of 'writing in public' has allowed me to examine this narrative that has been running through my head for the past decade. For me this is partially the appeal of blogging, I get to be at the centre of my own story. I've spent so long being a Mum, and a partner, and an employee, that I have lost sight of my own identity and storyline. I am so busy, that it doesn't occur to me not to be busy; and I apologise so much that it doesn't occur to me that I don't have anything to apologise for. Writing for me has performed the dual function of allowing me time to indulge in a past time I enjoy, as well as the opportunity to reflect upon my own circumstances in a more productive way than the trapped-in-my-head brooding I am used to. As my good friend advised me via personal correspondence (and I am paraphrasing): "don't apologise, make apologising the point". I have taken that with me in my writing.
The original proposed title for my blog was "Anxious in the Academy". This same friend rightly advised me that this was a poor choice of name, as I would be trapped under the mantle of this name regardless of the direction I may want to take my writing in the future. I didn't fully appreciate it at the time, but adopting the moniker The Smart Casual was already a rewriting of my own script. I am still anxious, both in the sense of my precarious employment status, as well as in reference to my OCD. But more so I am smart. I can write that without cringing. It's a small word that holds so much promise. Hell, not everyone may be inclined to agree with this assessment of myself, but even that really doesn't matter.
With my words I am changing the narrative. I hold the pen now.
For those of you who are interested in this idea of the personal narrative, I strongly suggest you watch the excellent TedX talk by Elena Morgan (Schmutzie) on "Self Doubt and the Power of Personal Narrative". It is an idea which has resonated with me so much, I hope it does the same for you as well.
Great post, so much to cheer and appreciate here. I've been reflecting a bit on what it means to me to write from within a particular workplace about a sense of being disempowered within it, just by the way that it normalises and rewards certain behaviours that I'm not that interested in. I've come to the same conclusion as you, that creating and owning my own platform for thinking and writing in public has in fact been a powerful step towards creating a new narrative about how we live and work, regardless of where we show up for paid employment. I feel a strong sense of ownership and confidence in relation to this story, because I have stopped waiting for institutional permission to tell it, or licensed, peer-reviewed and paywalled sanction for its relevance. I know what I am here to say.
Small point: thinking back to the demise of Anxious in the Academy, I'm really interested in the title of this post. Because it's not what the post turned out to be about at all.
And yet, here we are, chipping away both at institutional narratives that no longer account adequately for the experience of higher education, and at personal storylines that comply with these institutional accounts in a kind of performance of shame.
Well said, all of this.
I think you are right about the title. I started writing a post about one thing and it morphed into something else entirely. That is another thing about writing for myself that I enjoy, I am not limited by someone else's parameters.
I might revisit the title in a few days when I have mulled it over. I am open to suggestions though!
