If habitual sleeplessness plagues you, then you know that all the "surefire" sleep tricks in the book don't always work. Like most things when it comes to your health and well-being, there is no one-size-fits-all method to solving sleep troubles. Plus, new research shows that there are different types of insomnia — five, in fact — so identifying which kind you might have could prove to be a real game-changer when it comes to your sleep schedule.
These five different types of insomnia were discovered and identified by researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience, whose work was recently published in the mental health journal The Lancet Psychiatry. The researchers wrote in their paper that insomnia is the "second most prevalent mental disorder," and that it's also a major factor in depression. But the research on the underlying causes of insomnia, the study authors wrote, have thus far been inconsistent, which is why these researchers were so keen on identifying different types and working on treatments for each one.
In this particular study, the researchers gathered 4,322 adult volunteers over the age of 18 from a database called the Netherlands Sleep Registry, and surveyed them through 34 different questionnaires about their sleep habits, personality traits, lifestyle, and health history. Each volunteer filled out at least one questionnaire, according to the study.
From there, with additional sleep and lifestyle information provided by a second, non-overlapping group of volunteers, the researchers were able to identify a series of insomnia "subtypes." In other words, the researchers basically identified and compared different personality traits in relation to sleep troubles, and apparently, five different types of insomnia emerged from the results.
Type 1 scores high on many distressing traits such as neuroticism and feeling down or tense. Types 2 and 3 experienced less distress and were distinguished by their high versus low sensitivity to reward. Type 4 and 5 experienced even less distress and differed by the way their sleep responded to stressful life events.
Now, as for identifying and treating your own insomnia if it's a struggle for you, Martin Reed, certified clinical sleep health expert and founder of Insomnia Coach, tells Elite Daily that the common theme here between all five of the traits involved distress, so considering what it is that distresses you is your first and foremost priority. Is it a recent breakup? Anxiety about the future? Physical discomfort?
"The five insomnia types did not differ at all on sleep complaints like difficulty falling asleep versus early morning awakening," Reed, who was not directly involved in the research, explains.
In his professional opinion? "This means that cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) remains the best choice for treating chronic insomnia, regardless of 'type.'"
"Working one-on-one with a sleep coach or CBT-I therapist will always offer the best results because techniques can be adapted to best suit the individual client," Reed tells Elite Daily.
However, he adds, this study absolutely serves as a reminder of the importance of personalization, and that a generic course of therapy doesn't have to be the "one-size-fits-all" solution to insomnia. Regardless, reaching out for help from a health professional is always a good first step.

Tyne O'Connell: 'An eccentric is not trying to define themselves'
Published 14th September 2017
"An eccentric is not trying to define themselves, they're born seeking a different way," explains Tyne O'Connell, and if anyone should know, it's her. The Mayfair-based author and socialite seems to have been torn straight from the pages of an Evelyn Waugh novel; with her cut-glass accent, perma-fixed tiara and layers of pearls.
Despite recently being diagnosed with a brain tumor, O'Connell has continued to embrace the extraordinary.
"I just feel life is so brief and we should be celebrating and make the most of every moment, so we're doing a disservice to ourselves by not wearing our finest, our Sunday best, every day," she says.

More Than a Novelty
Brenda Bufalino
Tap artist Brenda Bufalino argues it's time to rethink the way we write about tap.

Critics are always forecasting the next decline of tap dancing. In one instance, a 2011 review in The New York Times, Claudia La Rocco wrote, "Tap is unquestionably a great American art form. It is also unquestionably in dire straits." Nothing could be farther from the truth. It is a thrilling moment for tap. Never before have dancers been so skilled in technique and capable of such tour de force in a myriad of styles. Our concert theaters are filling up, for the unique choreography and ensemble tap of Dorrance Dance and Max Pollak's RumbaTap in New York; Acia Gray's Tapestry Dance Company in Austin, Texas; and Mark Yonally's Chicago Tap Theatre. Tony Waag's "Tap City" in New York hosts hundreds of dancers from around the world. Yet writers and critics persist in approaching tap dance as a novelty, investigating its origins as if it were a relic just discovered, a dying art soon to be buried again.
When writers cover other forms of dance they speak about the particulars that make up a satisfying performance. They are equipped to reference past works and compare specific dances from a choreographer's repertory. In contrast, tap dance to date has been written about as if it were a folk dance. Many critics have created a hierarchy of authenticity that keeps tap dancers competing on the street corner.
Wouldn't it be helpful to share with the public the subtleties and techniques of tap dance? For instance, a writer might reveal the composition of the band, and how the dancer collaborated with their chosen musicians. Were the taps clear and tonal? Was the approach to the floor hard-hitting and loud, or melodic and subtle? Could the dancer modulate between syncopated phrasing, continuation 8th note triplets, and sixteenth notes with ease? Did the dancer phrase melodically, or have the hard punch and short phrases of a drummer?

Dancers strive to create with their own unique voice. Can the reviewer recognize and differentiate between the hard hitting, hip-swinging style of Syncopated Ladies, the high-flying slides and gleeful elevation of Joseph Wiggan and the funk/jazz fusion style of Jared Grimes? What about Michelle Dorrance's dramatic sense of building entrances and fast exits?
Unfortunately, many of those who presently write about tap and review performances have not done their research. This lack of understanding often has catastrophic results for artists seeking financial support and recognition.
There is also the notion that tap dance is a solo form. In a 2004 New Yorker review, Joan Acocella wrote, "At its best [tap] uses improvisation, and you can't make group patterns if everyone is doing his own thing. From this limitation—solo improvisation—comes tap's great strength, its status as an act of personal heroism: naked, here-I-stand. Nevertheless, the limitation is a limitation, emotionally and commercially." This idea would dismiss the great variety acts of Coles & Atkins; Pete, Peaches & Duke; The Miller Brothers; The Madison Trio and countless others. It also dismisses the vitality of a tap renaissance that began in the 1970s with groundbreaking companies like the Jazz Tap Ensemble and the American Tap Dance Orchestra. They created a brand new form of concert tap dance for their ensembles, interspersing solo and group improvisation with composed, highly choreographed dances. This form, similar to that of jazz ensembles, is still employed by tap companies and soloists.

Today, inspired by the Dorrance Dance theatricality and virtuosity, many new choreographers are bravely stretching the boundaries of tap. It is thriving internationally as far as India, where Jason Samuels Smith performed with the late kathak master Pandit Chitresh Das, and Germany, where Thomas Marek and Sebastian Weber create unique conceptual tap works. Festivals throughout the U.S. have been running for a decade or longer.
Tap dancers are the entrepreneurs of the dance world. If there isn't a venue to be found then one will be created, in a club, at a wedding, in a festival, as a guest artist with the Philharmonic or grooving with the band at Dizzy's Jazz Club. Through the dedication and passion of its dancers, tap will continue to thrive.
Brenda Bufalino is a tap dancer, choreographer and teacher.

New law in Spain allocates more money to investigate endometriosis
Today is an historic day for women affected by endometriosis! For the first time a proposal of a law in the Spanish Congress of Representatives was approved unanimously, and subsequently has lead to the Spanish government allocating more money to the fight against this chronic disease.
Corinna Schmid and Joseph Maldonado
For four years Asociacion de Endometriosis España (AEE) has been fighting to raise awareness of endometriosis in Spain and, together with other assocations in Europe, to work towards finding its cause and a treatment.
The AEE has fought hard to ensure that all aspects were covered in the proposed law (PPL) to ensure that a maximum number of actions were taken in the fight against endometriosis – and also that these were approved by all the parliamentarian groups.
On the day of voting, after the negotiations between the author of the PPL, Joseph Maldonado, and the speakers of the PSOE, PP, ERC, IU and the President of the AEE, Corinna Schmid, it was approved unanimously!
Now, a working team has been created formed by the Health Ministry and specialists in endometriosis, including the AEE president, Corinna Schmid.
The result of their plan of action will be presented to the Spanish parliament in January 2007. Without doubt, this is an historical moment for more than a million affected women in Spain – but also for women everywhere, if other governments take notice of this wonderful progress!
This is a proud moment for the AEE, as they now see the results of what they have fought for for several years!

SelfLube the leading U.S. manufacturer of precision mold and die components, will be displaying its product line of wear plates, wear strips, gibs, bushings, parting line locks and many others, at the Fabtech Expo. This is North America's largest trade show focusing on the metal forming and fabricating industries. The expo will be held this year November 11-13 at the Georgia World Conference Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
SelfLube will be exhibiting at Booth: B1024 this year and will have on display both its self-lubricating and conventional components. Self-lubrication is achieved using embedded graphite plugs and because graphite is an extremely stable substance, the lubrication that it provides is permanent.
This will be SelfLube's 17th year exhibiting its precision components at Fabtech. The expo will also include live equipment demonstrations, educational sessions and presentations led by experts that will discuss latest industry trends and technology in the metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing industries.

Phosphatidylserine (PS)-dependent erythrocyte adhesion to endothelium and sub-endothelial matrix components is mediated in part via thrombospondin (TSP). While TSP exhibits multiple cell-binding domains, the PS-binding site on TSP is unknown. Since a cell-binding domain for anionic heparin is located at the amino-terminus, we hypothesized that PS-positive red cells (PS+ve-RBCs) bind to this domain. We demonstrate that both heparin and its low-molecular-weight derivative enoxaparin (0.5-50u/ml) inhibited PS+ve-RBC adhesion to immobilized TSP in a concentration-dependent manner (21-77% inhibition, P<0.05). Pre-incubation of immobilized TSP with an antibody against the heparin-binding domain blocked PS+ve-RBC adhesion to TSP. Antibodies that recognize the collagen- and the carboxy-terminal CD47-binding domain on TSP had no effect on this process. While pre-incubation of PS+ve-RBCs with TSP-peptides from the heparin-binding domain containing the specific heparin-binding motif KKTRG inhibited PS+ve-erythrocyte adhesion to matrix TSP (P<0.001), these peptides in the immobilized form supported PS-mediated erythrocyte adhesion. A TSP-peptide lacking the binding-motif neither inhibited nor supported PS+ve-RBC adhesion. Additional experiments show that soluble-TSP also interacted with PS+ve-RBCs via its heparin-binding domain. Our results demonstrate that PS-positive erythrocytes bind to both immobilized and soluble TSP via its heparin-binding domain and that both heparin and enoxaparin, at clinically relevant concentrations, block this interaction. Other studies have shown that heparin inhibited P-selectin- and soluble-TSP-mediated sickle erythrocyte adhesion to endothelial cells. Our results taken together with the previously documented findings provide a rational basis for clinical use of heparin or its low-molecular-weight derivatives as therapeutic agents in treating vaso-occlusive pain in patients with sickle cell disease.

Q: Does the novel "Tarkin" include an obscure reference to Peter Cushing's wardrobe problem from Episode IV? In the book Star Wars:  Tarkin by James Luceno, we find this passage (emphasis mine):

THE DOOR TO TARKIN'S QUARTERS whooshed open, disappearing into the partition, and out he marched, dressed in worn trousers and ill-fitting boots, with a lightweight gray-green duster draped over his shoulders.

This amused me, because when Peter Cushing was filming his role as Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars - Episode IV:  A New Hope, his costume boots were too small.  He reached an agreement with George Lucas that he should be filmed almost exclusively from the waist up so he could wear his carpet slippers on set rather than the painfully tight boots.

Behind the scenes photos from the set of A New Hope, showing Cushing in his slippers

Quote from Peter Cushing1, describing the problem with his boots in A New Hope; taken from a fansite devoted to the actor.

From the site "The Cushing Collection", this picture is captioned:  "Peter Cushing's carpet slippers on display in the Whitstable Museum in 2013. When Cushing played Grand Moff Tarkin in STAR WARS, the boots they got for him were far too small, and so he asked George Lucas to just film the upper half of his body most of the time, while he was shuffling around in his slippers. He joked afterwards that there's no wonder that Tarkin is such a nasty fellow - "his boots are killing him!""
I suspect2 that this is more than mere coincidence, but I'd like some confirmation one way or the other.
Is the novel Tarkin's mention of "ill-fitting boots" an obscure reference to Cushing's problems with the boots he was supposed to wear in his role as Grand Moff Tarkin in A New Hope?

1 The quote is apparently taken from his memoir, 'Past Forgetting': Memoirs of the Hammer Years, by Peter Cushing.
2I'm not the only person who made this connection:

Tarkin: It's James Luceno writing a book about Tarkin like Darth Plagueis.... Again, lots of small EU references that made me happy. And I actually laughed out loud at a line that described Tarkin's boots as being "ill-fitting", because it's so meta. (The boots that were part of Tarkin's costume in ANH were too small for Peter Cushing, so he actually filmed the entire movie in bedroom slippers. There aren't any shots of Tarkin's feet in the movie. :D)

A: *

*"Tarkin" overall was heavily inspired by Cushing's performance:
From Luceno interview with SciFiNow

Q: Did you find yourself revisiting earlier Cushing performances to capture his mannerisms?
JL: Absolutely, yeah. I grew up watching... those were Hammer movies if I'm not mistaken, those great old horror movies that I remember him in. Everything from Revenge Of Frankenstein and Hound Of The Baskervilles – he was even in [an Amicus] Dr Who film, at one point! So all of my early filmgoing, he was a regular person who I saw on screen.
I did try and make use of that in terms of helping flesh out his personality, his mannerisms, his general style.

*Luceno in general seems to be very detail oriented when it comes to continuity:

Q: You weave a lot of continuity into your stories. Is that easy or hard? Do you spend a lot of time on Wookieepedia or the Holocron?
Luceno: When I first became involved with the franchise thirteen years ago, I made it a goal to catch up on everything that had been written up to that point and to stay current on every book that came out. Plus I have one of those brains that is capable of keeping a lot of stories in place. So the continuity references were already there. I just felt like I inhabited this big world where all these events have taken place. It's the history of the Star Wars galaxy. And I enjoy emphasizing continuity. It's not everybody's cup of tea to find all those references in a book, but for me they make the world a bit more realistic.

Last week, a mysterious object whizzed past Earth, which scientists suspected was the first 'alien comet' to visit us from another solar system. Now, researchers have revealed stunning images of the comet in action, and information on its possible chemical composition. The image 'sends a shiver down the spine,' according to scientists studying it.
Their findings suggest that it is a small rocky or icy object that may have been drifting through our galaxy for millions or even billions of years, before entering our solar system by chance. Researchers from Queen's University Belfast have been studying the mysterious comet, called C/2017 U1, using powerful telescopes across the world.
While most comets follow ellipse-shaped orbits around the sun, this comet appears to orbit at an angle, and doesn't circle the sun. Its orbital path suggests it entered our solar system from the direction of the constellation Lyra, looped around the sun, and will never return.
Initial findings suggest that the comet is a small rocky or icy object that may have been drifting through our galaxy for millions or even billions of years, before entering our solar system by chance. The object flew into the solar system from above, was close to the sun last month, and is now already on its way back out to the stars, according to the researchers.
Astronomers believe it was probably thrown out of another star system during a period of planet formation. Despite suspecting such objects existed and looking out for them over past decades, scientists have never seen such an interstellar visitor until now.
The researchers highlight that more information is needed to pin down the exact details of where the visitor came from, but hope that further studies will reveal more about the mysterious comet. But not everyone is convinced that the comet comes from another solar system.


CSK need 179 to win the IPL title for the third time.
The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is currently hosting the IPL final between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Chennai won the toss and elected to bowl first as Kane Williamson (47) anchored the SRH innings to set up the platform for the power hitters down the batting order. Shikhar Dhawan (25) too played a sedate innings as SRH scored 42 inside the powerplay without losing many wickets.
Then came the Sunrisers powerhitters into the party as Shakib (23), Yusuf Pathan (45*) and Carlos Braithwaite (21) and forged a batting display to take the Sunrisers to 178 at the end of their 20 overs.
For CSK, Dwayne Bravo gave away 46 runs in his spell while the likes of Karn Sharma, Lungi Ngidi and Shardul Thakur picked up key wickets.
CSK now needs 179 to win the IPL title for the third time.
Twitterverse anticipated a close contest in the first half and were treated the same way. Here are the best tweets from the first half.
It is going to be a score that sets up a really good last innings at the #IPL. Neither team with a significant advantage.

1. Introduction The terahertz (THz) waves had not been obtained except by a huge system, such as a free electron laser, until an invention of a photo-mixing technique at Bell laboratory in 1984 [1]. The first method using the Auston switch could generate up to 1 THz [2]. After then, as a result of some efforts for extending the frequency limit, a combination of antennas for the generation and the detection reached several THz [3, 4]. This technique has developed, so far, with taking a form of filling up the so-called THz gap. At the same time, a lot of researches have been trying to increase the output power as well [5-7]. In the 1990s, a big advantage in the frequency band was brought by non-linear optical methods [8-11]. The technique led to drastically expand the frequency region and recently to realize a measurement up to 41 THz [12]. On the other hand, some efforts have yielded new generation and detection methods from other approaches, a CW-THz as well as the pulse generation [13-19]. Especially, a THz luminescence and a laser, originated in a research on the Bloch oscillator, are recently generated from a quantum cascade structure, even at an only low temperature of 60 K [20-22]. This research attracts a lot of attention, because it would be a breakthrough for the THz technique to become widespread into industrial area as well as research, in a point of low costs and easier operations. It is naturally thought that a technology of short pulse lasers has helped the THz field to be developed. As a background of an appearance of a stable Ti:sapphire laser and a high power chirped pulse amplification (CPA) laser, instead of a dye laser, a lot of concentration on the techniques of a pulse compression and amplification have been done. [23] Viewed from an application side, the THz technique has come into the limelight as a promising measurement method. A discovery of absorption peaks of a protein and a DNA in the THz region is promoting to put the technique into practice in the field of medicine and pharmaceutical science from several years ago [24-27]. It is also known that some absorption of light polar-molecules exist in the region, therefore, some ideas of gas and water content monitoring in the chemical and the food industries are proposed [28-32]. Furthermore, a lot of reports, such as measurements of carrier distribution in semiconductors, refractive index of a thin film and an object shape as radar, indicate that this technique would have a wide range of application [33-37]. I believe that it is worth challenging to apply it into the steel-making industry, due to its unique advantages. The THz wavelength of 30-300μm can cope with both independence of a surface roughness of steel products and a detection with a sub-millimeter precision, for a remote surface inspection. There is also a possibility that

it can measure thickness or dielectric constants of relatively high conductive materials,
because of a high permeability against non-polar dielectric materials, short pulse
detection and with a high signal-to-noise ratio of 10 . Furthermore, there is a
possibility that it could be applicable to a measurement at high temperature, for less
influence by a thermal radiation, compared with the visible and infrared light. These
ideas have motivated me to start this THz work.
2. Foundation The typical THz technique applicable to a spectroscopic measurement is required the following four elements; (i) a short pulse laser which has less than a sub-picosecond pulse width with high peak power (10 GW), (ii) a conversion mechanism of the visible laser into THz waves, for the THz generation, (iii) a THz detection and (iv) an optical system for its propagation. In this chapter, I mention the construction and the principle of the representative generation and detection methods and a result of simple calculations that the THz waves have strong dependence on their wavelengths in spatially propagating with an usual optical system, compared with the visible or infrared light. 2.1. THz generation 2.1.1. CPA laser system A typical CPA laser consists of three functions of a pulse expansion, an amplification and a compression, shown in Fig. 2.1. These make it possible to increase the output power by 100 times with the same pulse width as an incident laser.

Firefighters have extinguished a house fire on Bemboka Crescent in Kaleen.
Two residents were home at the time and called Emergency Triple Zero (000) after hearing noises in the roof. They safely evacuated before ACT Fire & Rescue arrived on scene just before 6am.
The fire was contained to the roof space and it is believed the fire began in the chimney. Firefighters are now checking for fire extension through the rest of the house.
Two trucks, the Breathing Apparatus Van and a commander remain on site.
ACT Ambulance Service also attended but no one required treatment.

A Solid-State Fridge in Your Pocket
Can you imagine an electric cooler compact enough to fit in your pocket and flexible enough to wear? If not, think again because engineers at the University of California at Los Angeles and SRI International have one working: A 5-millimeter-thick device that is the world's first solid-state cooler combining practicality, energy efficiency, and high performance. Solid-state cooling has become a highly-competitive field in recent years, as researchers race to develop alternatives to refrigerators and air conditioners that gobble energy and release potent greenhouse gases. In 2014 General Electric heralded a "breakthrough" using materials that heat and cool when moved near and away from magnets, enthusing that its "magnetocaloric" system could be "inside your fridge by the end of the decade." The comparatively simple working device from UCLA and SRI, reported in today's issue of the journal Science, may give GE the chills.
UCLA materials science and engineering professor Qibing Pei, who led the work, says he was motivated by the prospect of delivering personalized comfort with little energy. "It may be placed in a shoe insole or in a hat to keep a runner comfortable in the hot Southern California sun. In a way, it's like a personal air conditioner," says Pei.
The UCLA-SRI device relies on the electrocaloric effect, which occurs in materials whose molecules have positively and negatively charged ends. An electric field aligns the molecules, increasing the order in the material and thus increasing its temperature.
Fundamentally, it is the same thermodynamic behavior that causes a steam burn, where water condensing on your skin jumps in temperature as it morphs from a disordered gas to a comparatively orderly liquid. And the electrocaloric effect is just as reversible: Relax the electric field on the material and its temperature drops.
Electrocaloric cooling R&D has been heating up over the past decade with the discovery of thin films that produce larger temperature shifts, including the polymers used by Pei and his team. The added value that the UCLA-SRI team delivered is an innovative scheme to apply the polymer films in an efficient cooling cycle and thus move heat from one place to another.
Their solution: applying another electric field to electrostatically shuttle a thin film of the polymer between their cooler's cold and hot ends. It is an elegant design, according to Pennsylvania State University researcher Qiming Zhang, who discovered the electrocaloric abilities for the polymer Pei and his colleagues use. "The polymer is both the refrigerant, which generates temperature change, and the pump, which efficiently transfers the refrigerant between the cold and hot ends," write Zhang and his colleague Tian Zhang in an essay accompanying Pei's report in today's Science.
Pei says electrostatic force is not only a great way to move the material. It also forms a high quality thermal connection to the polymer. "When that force is in place the film is squeezed to the heat sink or source," he adds.
In structure the device resembles a sandwich within a sandwich. The polymer component is a dual-layer stack of flexible electrocaloric film, separated by carbon nanotubes; voltage is applied (or relaxed) across the layers to change the stack's temperature. That polymer stack is itself situated between a pair of electrodes—aluminum plates or flexible sheets coated with conductive films—that form the heat sink and the heat source of the device.
Its refrigeration cycle is silent, rapid, and efficient: First the polymer stack is pulled against the heat sink electrode where heat is to be dumped. There the voltage is applied across the polymer stack, increasing its temperature and dumping heat. Then the polymer stack is shuttled back to the heat source electrode, the voltage on the stack is cut to cool it, and the stack absorbs heat—loaded and ready to be shuttled back to the sink.
Testing on their first prototype, a solid device, found it delivered 150 times as much cooling per gram of material than estimates published for the best prior electrocaloric device. And the device endured 30,000 cycles without evidence of degradation.
The team demonstrated their flexible device by mounting it on a Samsung Galaxy G4 smartphone battery heated to 52.5° Celsius by heavy use. Within 5 seconds the cooler had chilled the battery by 8° Celsius.
Pei says a direct efficiency comparison with conventional cooling equipment is difficult, because the lab devices deliver a comparatively smaller temperature shift than commercial units. But he says he expects electrocaloric cooling to be "equivalent to or more efficient" than regular vapor-compression cooling. Zhang and Zhang note recent modeling of an electrocaloric cooler that affirms Pei's hunch.
However, Pei says electrocaloric coolers are likely to find their first use in applications where compressor systems are impractical. One is silent, compact air conditioners built into chairs that Pei argues could lower energy consumption in buildings, which centralized AC systems frequently overcool. Another is the smartphone cooling already demonstrated, which he says could reduce heat strain on phone components and lower the risk of battery fires such as those that have afflicted Samsung.
Another idea Pei dreamed up is small portable coolers. "People take food to hiking or camping. You could use this to refrigerate it," he says. Such a product could have significant social impact in the developing world in the form of small low-power refrigerators for storing heat-sensitive medicines and vaccines. Offgrid villages increasingly have access to home solar panels or small mini-grids, but at present few generate enough wattage to support a fridge.

The road transport industry is highly regulated, perhaps more than any other mode of transport. This is why IRU's suite of legal services, drafted and approved by IRU Commission on Legal Affairs (CAJ), is designed to help road transport companies navigate the many requirements and regulations to which they need to adhere. CAJ members have developed highly valuable products which are used on a daily basis by our carriers, including the famous model of the CMR consignment note, to name but one. In addition, you will also find general legal assistance, advice and access to contracts and important transport documents.
Road carriers are subject to sanctions which vary greatly from one country to another. In case of missing or non-complying documents accompanying a transport operation, penalties range from a warning to distraint of the vehicle and its contents. So that international road carriers are aware of the consequences of failure to produce a document, the section on "sanctions in case of missing of non-complying documents" lists information applicable to carriers in 21 countries.
Download the "Sanctions in case of missing or non-complying documents"
Cabotage operations within the European Union are subject to community laws and are regulated by specific applications in the host country. Countries also have their own prices and terms governing contracts for the carriage of goods travelling by road. To harmonise these rules, IRU Commission on Legal Affairs (CAJ) has compiled an inventory of applicable rules across the various EU member and non-member states.
IRU guidelines on insurance matters help road transport operators in their negotiations with insurance companies. In particular, these guidelines are useful in case of a lack of coverage, overlapping insurance coverage, and when they need to address extraordinary risks and situations.
It is essential that transport operators fully understand all their legal obligations and avoid any uncertainties or misunderstandings. To this end, IRU has designed a suite of standard contracts covering all aspects of international road transport of goods. This suite of legal documents, including standard contracts and IRU General Conditions, have been developed for the benefit of the road transport industry, and are optional, a complement to the usual international conventions and rules in force at national level.
Goods companies, drivers and those receiving shipments use a CMR consignment note, which presents information about the shipped goods and the transporting and receiving parties. CMR notes are used under the CMR Convention, which outlines the standard conditions of carriage for international road transport operations, and which is designed to facilitate road transport and international trade.
The CMR Convention does not foresee a specific format for the consignment note. In order to harmonise and simplify international road transport, in 1976 IRU/CAJ, in cooperation with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), developed a model CMR consignment note which was updated in 2007 and is now used by most, if not all parties to contracts of carriage in CMR contracting countries.
The electronic consignment note (e-CMR) supplements the regular CMR consignment note by providing an electronic system to record and handle data. Transport operators who wish to use e-CMR must be familiar with the Additional Protocol to the CMR Convention, which governs e-CMR.
CAJ developed the Standard Contract to be established between parties (the carrier and the sender) willing to use the e-CMR.
The Additional Protocol concerning the electronic Consignment Note indeed stated that when a road carrier and their client wished to use the electronic CMR Consignment Note, they must sign a specific agreement which served to organise the operations, procedures and technical means that they must execute together in order to satisfy the provisions of the Protocol (Article 5.1).
The contract itself still referred to technical aspects (Appendix 1), which would contain recommendations in terms of procedures, technical standards, formats, conservation methods and authentication, which the parties would be able to implement in their electronic communications within the framework of the Additional Protocol. This technical Annexe had not yet been drafted and will be analysed at a later stage. This is just a model that may be used by companies and associations who would adapt it according to the technical aspects they wished to include.
IRU Members can access the IRU Legal Assistance Network, a circle of professionals that are experts in different fields of law applicable to the international road transport industry. The aim of this network is for members to quickly identify and make contact with a skilled lawyer in any given country. These legal experts provide their services, for a standard fee, to IRU member associations and transport operators. Specialised lawyers are available in the following domains: Administrative, Community, Civil and Commercial Law as well as Transport, Criminal, Labour, Procedural and Transport Fiscal Law.

The Oriskany Sandstone is overlain by a cherty Onadaga Limestone and/or the Needmore Shale (Oliver and others, 1967; Milici, 1996). This interval is somewhat effective as a top seal, but it may be permeable in areas because of fracturing. However, the Onadaga Limestone/Needmore Shale interval is overlain by a thick section of Middle Devonian black shale, which makes an excellent regional confining layer. For the GIS, we chose the map of Oliver and others (1967; their fig. 8), which shows the distribution of lithologies of the Middle Devonian black-shale sequence. This sequence is widely interpreted to be laterally continuous, deep-water black shales (Oliver and others, 1967; Roen and Walker, 1996).

What are the advantages of one pipe steam? It was cheaper to install due to less pipe used. It is also the simplest of the steam systems.
What are the disadvantages of one pipe steam? The piping is larger for this type of steam system as the steam and the condensate must both share the same pipe but stay out of each others way. Larger pipes are harder to work with. Larger pipes also mean larger holes in the wood framing members. The larger the holes in the wood, the more a structure is weakened. The hand valves generally (99% of them), have to be either fully open or fully closed, since water hammer noise will be created by attempting to modulate the valve in some middle position. This makes it tougher to regulate the heat output from the radiator. The biggest disadvantage is the air vents noise. The faint sound of air escaping as the steam pushes it out. Then a click as the steam shuts off the vent. Then sometimes the ''sucking'' sound of air going back in to break the vacuum created by the collapsing steam as the boiler shuts off. The air vents have also been known to spit on the walls a bit. The wealthy people didn't like that and asked for something better, which gave rise to the two pipe system.

Early Bird Report: Maurice Jones-Drew predicts 'big year' from Todd Gurley
AP Photo/Gregory Trott
Todd Gurley is in an interesting spot as he prepares for his first season with the Atlanta Falcons. The former NFL Offensive Player of the Year is generally believed to be trending downward due to a knee injury, but the only evidence for that is a relatively poor 2019 season in which he still topped 1,000 total yards and scored 14 touchdowns – not too shabby.
With more weapons around him than he's ever had before, Gurley won't have to shoulder the load the way he did in Los Angeles. It wouldn't be surprising at all if Gurley has a bounce-back year this fall, but there seems to be some hesitation among those in the national media to declare him one of the top backs in the league.
Debate: Most important defender of decade
Roundtable: Writers discuss Falcons' decade
PFF projects Julio to lead all NFL WRs
Falcons breakout candidates: Todd Gurley
Former NFL running back Maurice Jones-Drew continued that trend in a recent ranking for NFL.com. He ranked Gurley 19th among all running backs entering the season, but he does explain that he expects big things from the former Rams star during his first season in Atlanta.
"For the first time in his career, Gurley won't be the featured player in the offense," Jones-Drew writes. "The Falcons' offense goes through Matt Ryan, Julio Jones and Co., so expect Gurley to face fewer loaded boxes than he did with the Rams. The first-year Falcons back should have a big year in 2020, but he sits at No. 19 here because there are simply too many mouths to feed."

ESPN: Top-rated QBs in "Madden NFL 21"
While it remains to be seen when actual football will come back into our lives, fans of the "Madden" series will have a new game in their hands sometime soon. The newest iteration of the EA Sports series, "Madden NFL 21," will be released in the near future and some of the ratings for the games top players have begun to be announced.
Specifically, a few of the game's top quarterbacks were announced on Monday, and Matt Ryan is among them. The Falcons' former MVP has the seventh-best rating among league quarterbacks, beginning as an 87-overall player in the game.
"Ryan dropped two ratings points and moved up one spot from his start last season (89 overall, eighth overall) after a season where he had his highest interception total (14) since 2015," ESPN's Michael Rothstein.
Chiefs quarterback and reigning Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes is the highest-rated player at the position and part of the "Madden 99 Club." Russell Wilson (97 overall) and Lamar Jackson (94 overall) are just behind Mahomes at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, while a pair of NFC South quarterbacks, Drew Brees (93 overall) and Tom Brady (90 overall) round out the rest of the top five.
It's crazy just how loaded the Falcons' division is at the quarterback position, and "Madden" agrees.

ESPN: Barnwell ranks NFL offensive weapons
Throughout much of the Matt Ryan Era, the Atlanta Falcons have fielded one of the NFL's consistently productive offenses. That figures to again be the case in 2020, despite some new faces taking the place of old ones.
Todd Gurley and Hayden Hurst are the noteworthy offseason acquisitions, but Laquon Treadwell and Matt Hennessy should have roles within the unit next season. In a piece for ESPN, Bill Barnwell ranked the offensive weapons for each NFL team. The Falcons have trended down offensively in recent years, at least in Barnwell's opinion, and that continues in this recent piece.
After Barnwell ranked the Falcons third on this list in 2018, and 10th entering last season, he's got Atlanta at No. 12 in the latest iteration.
"The Falcons are in transition as they try to shift badly needed resources from their offense to their defense," Barnwell writes. "They've downgraded by dropping from Mohamed Sanu and Austin Hooper to Russell Gage and Hayden Hurst, although I'm optimistic about the former first-round pick Hurst's chances of repeating Hooper's production with the expanded role. Running back Todd Gurley is likely an upgrade on the oft-injured Devonta Freeman and will certainly be better as a receiver. Gurley has a high ceiling thanks to this offensive line and a low floor as a result of his knee condition; he could be an Offensive Player of the Year candidate or he could sputter through five games and miss the rest of the year.
"The Falcons have their core at wide receiver with Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley, although Jones' production dropped slightly from a league-high 104.8 receiving yards per game in 2018 to 92.9 yards per contest last season. Ridley's season-long numbers and snap rate were virtually identical, but he went from playing 16 games to 13. Prorated to 16 games, Ridley would have posted a 78-1,065-9 line, and while you can't count on perfect health, he should be able to top those marks without Hooper in the fold."

ESPN: NFL won't allow jersey swaps in 2020
According to a report by ESPN, the NFL sent a new set of league protocols to teams in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Among the new protocols is a restriction on post-game jersey swaps between players.
"Jersey exchanges have gained in popularity in recent years, and their elimination was met with immediate derision from some prominent players on social media," ESPN's Kevin Seifert writes. "San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman tweeted that it was a 'perfect example of NFL thinking in a nutshell,' noting that players will 'engage in a full contact game' only to find that it isn't safe to exchange jerseys. Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson tweeted that it was 'DAMN SILLY.'"
The new protocols also involved other measures such as multiple pre-game temperature checks for coaches and players, restrictions on the number of people granted access to the field and mask requirements for certain people.

PFF.com: Best/worst case scenarios for NFL teams
One of the things that makes the NFL such an entertaining and exciting league is the level of variability in a team's success from one season to the next. Every offseason fan bases can talk themselves into why the upcoming year will be their year, and there's enough turnover among playoff teams each season to make those hopes plausible.
The Falcons are one such team who have enough on-paper talent to make a run at the playoffs after a two-year absence. With an offense still led by Matt Ryan and Julio Jones, and a defense that has been re-tooled in an effort to improve some key areas, the Falcons will look to build upon their strong finish to the 2019 season and put together a memorable 2020.
Pro Football Focus recently ran simulations for each team in the league, providing a 10th percentile outcome (the low-end expectation) and a 90th percentile outcome (the high-end expectation) for every team's record. When it comes to Atlanta, PFF believes the low projection is a 5-11 record while a 10-6 record is a reasonable high-end mark.
"It seems that a whole lot of people have forgotten that Ryan is still one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL," Ben Linsey writes of how the Falcons can reach their best projected record. "The Ryan-Julio Jones–Calvin Ridley connection clicks all season and several of the young players along the offensive line progress to the point that gives Ryan adequate protection to find his wide receivers. Defensively, those young cornerbacks do take steps forward, and free-agent acquisition Dante Fowler Jr. (career-high 73.3 pass-rushing grade in 2019) continues his upward trajectory as a pass-rusher to serve as a nice upgrade over Vic Beasley Jr."
The NFC South figures to be one of the league's toughest divisions next season, and PFF's projections back that up with both New Orleans and Tampa Bay having double-digit wins in their 90th percentile projections. Even if the Falcons put everything together this fall, they will be in for some well-fought games.

PFF.com: Offensive line rankings entering 2020
The offensive line is undoubtedly one of the most important position groups for the Atlanta Falcons in 2020. For Atlanta to reach its offensive potential, the play in the trenches must improve.
Pro Football Focus highlighted just how much improvement will be needed in a recent ranking of all 32 offensive line units in the NFL. The Falcons ranked 24th in the league up front in 2019, but there are reasons to believe they can improve this fall.
"After years as one of the most stable units in the league, Atlanta's offensive line has regressed, and they finished 24th in our final 2019 rankings," PFF's Steve Palazzolo writes. "The good news is that Atlanta still has strong pillars up front in left tackle Jake Matthews and center Alex Mack, who are still two of the league's best at their respective positions. Matthews is one of the best zone blockers in the league (89th percentile over the last two years), while Mack has ranked second, fourth and ninth among centers over the last three seasons.
"Questions abound beyond that, but there is hope. The Falcons invested two first-round picks in right guard Chris Lindstrom and right tackle Kaleb McGary in 2019, but Lindstrom only saw the field for 309 snaps and graded at 66.6 overall, while McGary struggled to a 53.0 overall grade that ranked 79th out of 89 qualifying tackles."
Improvement from Lindstrom and McGary would be the quickest way for the Falcons' offensive line to take a step forward. Third-round pick Matt Hennessy is also an intriguing player to keep an eye on at the left guard spot. Atlanta invested heavily in its offensive line last offseason, and it took steps to bolster its skill positions this year. For the Falcons to get the most out of their talented weapons, their offensive line needs to perform.

Making Peloton History: Hosting Our First In-Person Adaptive Fitness Classes in Partnership With The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation
By Team Peloton
Published 12-20-22
Submitted by Peloton
At Peloton we're committed to fostering a sense of belonging for all of our Members and improving access to physical and mental well-being through our products, content, and community partnerships. To bring our commitment to life and in honor of International Day of Persons with Disabilities, on December 3rd, we were thrilled to host a special event at Peloton Studios New York (PSNY) in partnership with The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.
We had the honor of welcoming over 20 Members affiliated with the Reeve Foundation to PSNY for two live in-person classes—seated adaptive strength and an indoor run—with Logan Aldridge, Peloton instructor and a left arm above elbow amputee. Logan joined Peloton in 2022 as our first adaptive instructor and has been focused on offering uniquely programmed standing and seated classes for athletes with varying physical abilities. During and after the classes, Logan shared his personal reflections on the significance of the moment, noting that "representation matters and we are just getting started!" and that "We all can do fitness. We all can pursue our potential." Adaptive athlete Peloton Members from across the United States traveled to participate in the live classes and celebrate the power and strength of community, together.
Our partnership with The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation
These classes were made possible as a result of our recently launched partnership with the Reeve Foundation; a world renowned nonprofit dedicated to curing spinal cord injury and to improving the quality of life for individuals and families impacted by paralysis. This collaboration is believed to be the first-of-its-kind between a leading interactive fitness platform and a nonprofit.
Through this partnership we also recently launched the "Seated Adaptive Strength" program in November 2022, an adaptive fitness collaboration created especially for wheelchair users living with a spinal cord injury (SCI) and other causes of paralysis. This program was also designed by Logan Aldridge with expertise contributed by Reeve Foundation community members and ambassadors.
Continuously striving for progress over perfection
These are just some of the ways Peloton has been working to make our platform, services, and products more accessible to Members and users with all kinds of abilities. It's progress that we're excited about but we also acknowledge that it's just the beginning. We are immensely proud of our unique partnership with The Reeve Foundation and we look forward to continuing to make history by creating accessible and inclusive products and experiences for our Members.
Our mission: To use technology and design to connect the world through fitness, empowering people to be the best version of themselves anywhere, anytime.

"A remarkable tour de force. This book is one of the valuable Oxford Press Biology of Habitats series covering some dozen habitats. To give an idea of the scope of The Biology of Polar Habitats, the authors have covered almost all the habitats in the rest of the series because polar habitats include a remarkably diverse array of marine, freshwater, and terrestrial habitats and the book reviews them all. This book should be read by college students as well as by professionals. Polar biologists will be impressed with the reviews of their own specialties and will profit from reading all the chapters." -- Polar Biology

The Resurgence of Interest in Immune Therapy for Metastatic Renal Carcinoma
Mario Sznol, MD
Immune therapies hold substantial promise to improve therapeutic options for mRCC.
Since the approval of high-dose interleukin-2 (IL-2; aldesleukin) in 1992, no other immune therapy has been registered for the treatment of metastatic renal carcinoma.
In contrast, since December 2005, multiple agents designed to inhibit vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling. Sorafenib, sunitinib, pazopanib, axitinib, bevacizumab/interferon, everolimus, and temsirolimus were approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the same indication because of improvements in progression-free survival (PFS) (and in the case of temsirolimus a modest increase in overall survival).
High-dose IL-2 remains a valuable option for patients with metastatic clear cell renal carcinoma because of its unique ability to produce long-term complete remissions in approximately 5% to 10% of patients.1
However, IL-2 administration is associated with acute severe toxicity requiring expert management in an inpatient setting, for this reason it is currently offered by a limited number of centers in the United States and around the world.
RELATED: Identifying Poor Prognosis in Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma
Renewed interest in immune therapy of metastatic renal cancer was stimulated by the activity of nivolumab, an antibody that blocks the PD-1 inhibitory receptor on T-lymphocytes, in a cohort of 34 previously treated patients.2,3
At doses of 1 to 10 mg/kg intravenously (IV) every 2 weeks, the objective response rate (ORR) was 29% and an additional 27% had stable disease for 24 weeks or more. Grade 3 to 4 adverse events (AEs) were observed in only about 17% of patients and, overall, treatment was well tolerated. MPDL3280A, an antibody blocking the PD-L1 ligand for PD-1, was also well tolerated in a cohort of 47 patients with metastatic renal cancer accrued to a phase 1 trial. MPDL3280A produced an ORR of 13% and 53% of patients displayed PFS at 24 weeks.4
In a subsequent randomized phase 2 trial presented by Motzer and colleagues at the 2014 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting, 168 previously treated patients with metastatic clear cell renal cancer were randomized to receive nivolumab IV q3w at doses of 0.3 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, or 10 mg/kg.5
The ORR was 20% to 22% among the cohorts and median survival exceeded the results produced in similar patient populations enrolled in prior phase 3 trials of targeted therapies. A subset of the patients who responded to the PD-1/PD-L1 antagonists remained progression-free for long periods even after discontinuation of treatment. The results of the randomized phase 3 trial of nivolumab versus everolimus in patients progressing on a VEGFR inhibitor are anxiously awaited.

Q: Inventory reindex runs catalog price reindex also Magento version: 2.3.1
When I run inventory reindex from command line it first runs inventory reindex and then price reindex after that.
Here is the command I executed:
bin/magento indexer:reindex inventory

Output on console:
Inventory index has been rebuilt successfully in 00:00:40
Product Price index has been rebuilt successfully in 00:08:10
Catalog Search index has been rebuilt successfully in 00:25:01

As you can see from console output, price and catalog search reindex also executed.
How can I prevent running price reindex automatically? I want just inventory reindex.

A: Described behavior may seem to be completely unobvious, however it's expected.
The thing is, that indexers may depend on each other, like in your case, Catalog Search indexer depends on Price indexer, which, in turn depends on Inventory index. This chain might not be optimal, however all of them must run to ensure data consistency, as inventory availability may impact data in the price index and so on.
Indexer dependencies are configured via DI configuration, and I believe it's possible to override this config for your specific case. However, this is not something I would recommend, as it may impact data consistency and correct display of catalog information.
Looking at the initial question I assume that you are concerned about performance. Have you looked into reindex on save or reindexing at a time when store does not experience biggest customer flows? This kind of problem may be mitigated in different ways depending on your business scenario. Please let us know the details and might find a solution together.

A: If you want to first runs inventory reindex and then price reindex after that.
You have to need run below command for individual selected indexer run.

php bin/magento indexer:reindex cataloginventory_stock
php bin/magento indexer:reindex catalog_product_price

A: Not exactly what you are look for, but this might be helpful.
As Eugene mentioned, to keep the data consistency price indexing is bound to inventory indexing.
Have a look at below code in the file vendor/magento/module-catalog-inventory/etc/mview.xml.
 <view id="catalog_product_price" class="Magento\Catalog\Model\Indexer\Product\Price" group="indexer">
        <subscriptions>
            <table name="cataloginventory_stock_item" entity_column="product_id" />
        </subscriptions>
    </view>

What this materialized view code does is, it adds a trigger to cataloginventory_stock_item table.
If your inventory indexing is configured to 'Update by Schedule' and when there is a change in product inventory in cataloginventory_stock_item table, it makes entry for product in table catalog_product_price_cl.
When price indexing runs, catalog_product_price_cl table is used to identify the product ids for which price indexing needs to run.
If you want to disable entry in catalog_product_price_cl table during inventory indexing, you need to override this file and comment the code and run setup:upgrade. It will remove the trigger from cataloginventory_stock_item table. Of course you need to verify that there isn't any data inconsistency after this modification.

Victoria man mistakes 4K gold nugget worth $250,000 for an old horseshoe
By Vittorio Hernandez @vitthernandez on August 25 2016 2:05 PM
He first washed it in water, covered the nugget, which he called Friday's Joy, with aluminium foil and kept it in his oven on the first night. Minelab Metal Detectors
With prices of gold hitting a two-year high of US$1,371.23 (A$1,848.74) an ounce in early July, a Victorian man is now A$250,000 richer. The prospector found a four-kilogramme gold nugget on the southern edge of the "Golden Triangle" which he initially mistook for an old horseshoe.
He found it 12 inches below the ground. Initially, the man could barely make out the top, but when he started to scrape away the clay and dig deeper, he was in total disbelief over the size of the gold nugget, reports 9News.
The prospector found a gold nugget the shape of a tennis ball so he returned the next day with the hope of finding more. He brought his Minelab GPZ 7000 detector along.
The discovery culminates his decade-long search for gold, coins and relics, together with a group of close friends. He admits not knowing what to do for now with the huge gold nugget in his hands.
He first washed it in water, covered the nugget, which he called Friday's Joy, with aluminium foil and kept it in his oven on the first night. He is keeping the yellow metal in a bank vault while waiting to auction it.
With the money, he plans to purchase a van, travel around Australia both for sightseeing and prospecting. He does not plan to quit his job, reports Australia Mining.

GLA University
Title: An Analysis of political Branding from the Indian Democratic Perrspective
Researcher: Kumar Amit
Guide(s): Somesh Dhamija
Keywords: Arts and Humanities
University: GLA University
Completed Date: 2017
Abstract: The present research work explores and affirms the relationship between the phenomenon of political branding and political participation in modern politics. The research has been done keeping in the context of the last general election which saw the unprecedented victory of BJP-led NDA under the leadership of Mr Narendra Modi who went on to become the fifteenth Prime Minister of the country. It was the largest election-related exercise in the globe and saw many firsts to it. The results were unparalleled and interested many experts to come up with explanations for the same. The study compares and contrasts the cases of the two main political rivals, namely Mr Narendra Modi and Mr Rahul Gandhi, of the two big coalitions, namely National Democratic Alliance and United Progressive Alliance respectively for their pull as political brands and the subsequent impact on participation of their followers in political activities. The study presents the case for a consumer-oriented approach towards political events like elections in the Indian context as against the civic-oriented approach which has been followed traditionally across the various democracies. The concept of political branding has been explored during the course of the research work with the help of extant literature, discussion with professionals and understanding of the researcher thereby highlighting the role played by it in the formation of public opinion towards political parties and leaders as well as participatory tendencies of the voters in elections. A 42-question questionnaire was developed, with the help of content and expert validity, which asked the respondents about their familiarity with the symbol and slogan of the two chief contesting parties and leaders and related aspects along with other aspects like demographic, psychological, political affiliations, leadership choices as well as their participatory tendencies in various election-related activities.

Moon at Dusk 1/8″ Acrylic 11″ x 17″. Unlike other sites that offer prints on paper, or want you to build your own frame and ship the canvas separately, these are ready for you to hang and will last a long time. Choose Acrylic for a crystal-clear picture that is almost 3D looking, or Canvas for that traditional look. Offsets, seen on below pictures, give you a clean look.
Picture can be printed on Canvas, Acrylic, or on Metal. Canvas is sized at 11″ x 14″. Acrylic and Metal sizes are 11″ x 17″.
Unlike other companies who offer only poster style pictures, Canvas pictures have proven to last centuries. We print the pictures onto canvas and it allows for a lot of detail, while keeping the softer, less edgy look of Metal, Acrylic, or the simple paper poster prints. You can frame these pictures to provide a more traditional look and appeal, or with our thin canvas you can attach our center 3/4″ standoff to provide a mixture of traditional and modern appeal. You also never need to worry about broken glass. Choose multi canvas scenes and gain a window style look that has you feeling as if you are in the scene. The nice feature of a canvas printing is that it reduces glare, it doesn't require glass that causes reflections and is lighter in weight. These are great for both personal and office décor.

Sir Richard Arkwright (23 December 1732 3 August 1792) was an English inventor and a leading entrepreneur during the early Industrial Revolution. Although his patents were eventually overturned, he is credited with inventing the spinning frame, which following the transition to water power was renamed the water frame. He also patented a rotary carding engine that transformed raw cotton into cotton lap..

He later realized the equipment had a structural weakness (the toilet would backfire after 10 flushes) and again sought the help of his friends to correct it. The solution proved unsuccessful and an incident on the station ensued (Raj referred to this as the "zero gravity human waste distribution system"). tape in extensions

Corporate politics are there at all times and for all employees and, I repeat, beware of the fool who thinks they are exempt from such shenanigans. You may as well be clued in to reality the sooner you realize this happens even if you don't want a part of it, the sooner you'll be on your way to be a pro, a captain in the waters of corporate politics.. tape in extensions
lace front wigs I have done two books with the artist Ralph Steadman, (Fear and Loathing in LAs Vegas) which are a very different look at birds that are endangered and ones that have become extinct. They are called Extinct Boids and Nextinction. They have done pretty well and are not your normal books. Super love this wig!! i have long hair and since the "lob" has come into style ive been wanting to experiment without doing THE CHOP, so i decided to buy this. The lace front makes it look natural, just be sure to cut the lace according to your own hairline, and pull a few strands of your natural hair out of the wig to make it blend in. The material is good quality and isnt weirdly shiny like many wigs or hairpieces. lace front wigs
human hair wigs But impossible? No. Would some people get pregnant/take primary custody of kids to avoid a warzone? Probably. But I still think it could be done. Synthetic wigs are handy and they can be washed easily at home. Light density wigs are available in a plenty of designs ranging from short to long hairstyles. The strands made from acrylic fibers are super soft and silky. The newspaper was founded in 1892 by John H. Murphy, Sr., who was born into slavery and served in the Civil War in the United States Colored Troops, reaching the rank of sergeant (NCO). He worked a variety of jobs after the war. human hair wigs
clip in extensions I think someone touched on the subject of inappropriate adult costumes right? I think this is just a sad example of a little girl emulating her sister and mother and all the other adult role models in her life. I happen to be very liberal and open about most things but I draw the line with this kinda of awful crap. Oh and the 16 year old kid with the symbol hanging from his rear view window on.

full lace wigs The up series. Follows kids at the age of 7 up to 50+. Started in the 50 and was updated every 7 years. This friend of my friend wanted to be FWBs. I wasn into him so I declined. He kept pressing me to hang out "just as friends" (while sending really hamfisted "hints" about wanting to fuck me). This is apparently a pretty typical result for a South Indian person of my family caste (Brahmin), but from doing research on this it seems like basically all Indians are primarily mixed with Baloch and South Indian, just with different proportions depending on what part of India they from and what caste. For example, a typical Punjabi person would likely have a higher percentage of Baloch and a comparatively smaller percentage of South Indian, but that South Indian admixture is still present. :). full lace wigs
tape in extensions I had to lighten my hair four times before it looked proper blonde (for those who don know, dye is just a colour that goes on top of your natural hair colour, lightening/bleaching actually changes the colour of your hair so it can easily damage it). Everyone is so surprised that my hair hasn become rough and brittle like straw from everything I put it through. Even hairdressers comment on it.. John learns from Winston, the Continental's owner, that Viggo has Iosef protected at his nightclub, the Red Circle. John enters the Red Circle and kills his way to Iosef, but Viggo's henchman Kirill waylays John, allowing Iosef to escape. John retreats to the Continental to mend his injuries tape in extensions.
