Was established in our Constitution for a reason. We are not simply a democracy, but a democratic republic. Also helps prevent the uneducated voter deciding on our president because of something he found on social media.
Excuse me if my family worked their lives off to provide for their kin. Why should we punish people for being successful? This tax is just another excuse for the government to make more money and put it in useless social programs that just increase our debt.
Socialism costs money. Lots of it. Point in case, The E.U. You hand everything to a person and they'll never work for anything else in their life. Utopias are nothing but unacheivable dreams, we are flawed as a species. Therefore, Socialism shall never work.
The idea is noble, as are many. But more often than not noble intentions are turned into terrible executions. It was true with Socialism in it's early days, and it holds true with the modern system of welfare. Those who abuse it don't deserve a single penny from the hard working American, whereas those who rely on it with their life should be able to obtain it with no restrictions.

Міжурядова конференція (англ. Intergovernmental Conference) — переговори між урядами країн-членів з метою внесення змін і доповнень до договорів. Мають особливе значення для процесу європейської інтеграції, тому що саме вони розробляють і ухвалюють внесення інституційних змін.

Міжурядову конференцію скликає Рада міністрів (з загальних питань) з ініціативи держави-члена або Комісії. Підготовчу роботу виконує група з представників урядів держав-членів, куди традиційно входить і представник Комісії. Європейський Парламент також бере активну участь у роботі конференції через своїх спостерігачів та президента Парламенту.

Найважливіші міжурядові конференції завершилися ухваленням таких документів:

 Єдиний Європейський Акт (1986 рік) —— запровадив зміни, потрібні для того, щоб спільний ринок почав функціонувати повною мірою від 1 січня 1993 року;
 Маастрихтський договір (1992 рік) — Договір про Європейський Союз готували дві окремі міжурядові конференції: на одній ішлося про економічний та монетарний союз, на другій — про політичний;
 Амстердамський договір (1997 рік). Завданням відповідної міжурядової конференції був перегляд деяких проблемних положень Маастрихтського договору та підготування до майбутнього розширення;
 Ніццький договір (2000 рік) — розпланував інституційні зміни після вступу в ЄС нових членів.

Останній набрав чинності 1 лютого 2003 року, а вже 4 жовтня того ж року нова міжурядова конференція розпочала роботу над Конституційним договором ЄС, що мав замінити всі попередні. 18 червня 2004 року остання міжурядова конференція завершилась, глави держав та урядів дійшли остаточної згоди щодо тексту Конституції для Європи, а 29 жовтня 2004 року в Римі відбулася церемонія урочистого підписання договору.

If there is one thing that is constant, it is "change". And change is exactly the one thing that is constant when it comes to fashion. Since the beginning of human civilization, there has been a constant effort being put to make one look better. The different styles in fashion have always gone through innumerable changes. With the increase in the amount of innovations, the change in trend and fashion styles have also been rapid. So keeping that in mind, here is the list of a few fashion styles that we accepted with all our hearts:
Vivienne Westwood, the godmother of punk, is considered one of the most unconventional and outspoken fashion designers in the world. Westwood's fashions woke to fame in the late 1970s when her early designs helped shape the look of the punk rock movement. The highly influential shop changed its name and décor with every collection, and would later be credited for setting off both the punk trend and the new romantic wave. In 1981, Westwood launched her signature collection and has since continued to shock and amuse the fashion world with her hard-core Anglomania.
One of the reputed & primitive style-diva and is the most esteemed Indian-designer. Her dressing line has a diversity from traditional to the western! For the first time in India, she introduced the culture of "boutique" under the name of "Ritu", Ritu has developed a unique style of her own depicting the Indian-ancient-traditions! Her outfits are worn throughout the world.
Top-handled and either cutesy and retro or super-sleek in plain leathers, the most influential bag trend of the season will most definitely be anything that feels extra-ladylike and old-fashioned. Although jumbo totes and teeny-tiny mini bags could also be seen on the autumn runways, neither is particularly practical, unlike these this breed of elegant styles. "I find when something is vintage that piece has a much longer staying power since the style feels inherently classic, like the frame bag," says Lisa Aiken, Fashion Director at Moda Operandi. Roomy enough to fit your essentials into, classic enough to last an eternity and offered in enough variations to girls with multiple style personalities sated indeed.
Born in Rome in 1890 to an aristocratic mother and an intellectual father, Schiaparelli soon rebelled against the conventional life of the upper classes. Her desire for exploration and experimentation landed her in hot water as a teen, when she published a book of poems with decidedly sensual overtones. Her work deeply offended her parents, who punished her by placing her in a convent. Schiaparelli was so determined to escape from the nunnery that she initiated a hunger strike which resulted in her release. By her early twenties she had fled to London, where she could live under less scrutiny. Later, during a foray in New York, she joined with artist friends and they all made their way to Paris…
A prominent name in the Indian fashion-industry from the western-Indian region of Goa and is amongst the top ten India's designers. He started as a catering graduate, later on moved to fashion-designing. He was the foremost Indian who was given invitation by IGEDO(World's largest garment fair). He's well-known for his passion for white and his modest chic style is a kinda rage among Indian-cloth lovers. In major Indian-news media, this multi-talented person has written exclusive features particularly for Goa Today, Apparel, columns for Femina and free-lance fashion journalism. He does the tasks of advertising styling, theater-designing and forecast portfolios. The ministry of culture , in 1994, exhibited his shiva temples compilation in Canton, Peking & Shanghai ,at the Festival of India. He's eager at art-patron and puts forward the artists of Goa through special promotions at the Endell Rodricks Couture Salon. He did intern at the Fashion institute of technology , New York to learn how to preserve and conserve costumes.
In the City of Light, during the years from 1927 to 1940, Schiaparelli's reputation for daring designs grew steadily. Soon, Parisians developed a passion for her unusual dresses, sweaters, and accessories. Her signature style always encompassed some whimsical elements, such as lobster motifs or skeleton ribs and bones (made with trapunto quilting); however, the construction of the garments themselves was often quite strict and tailored…this dichotomy made for original pieces that were often "knocked off" by other designers.
Thomas Burberry was born in 1835 in Brockham Green, Surrey. Burberry opened his own small clothing outfitters in Basingstoke in 1857. At that time Basingstoke was a small country town. Nowadays, the Burberry Group is a leading global fashion brand which now sells womenswear, menswear, non-apparel and children's wear. It is famous for its iconic trademarked check design and British heritage branding.
Prefer to get a slick working wardrobe in order for autumn? Multiple savvy designers are catering to your needs and stepping up to fill the gigantic fashion hole Phoebe Philo has left in her wake since departing (old) Celiné. Want to be a total show-off for A/W 19? You'll have a great deal to choose from when it comes to loud colours, bold prints and even more statement-making silhouettes. But if you'd like to keep things chic and simple, there are many elegant, quiet pieces to combine together to that effect: You can't go wrong with Burberry's tailoring or (new) Celine's renewed bourgeois vibe.
Gabrielle"Coco" Bonheur Chanel is probably the most reputable fashion designer of all time. She is a very exceptional, hard-working woman who has managed to found the famous Chanel brand. The key things she tries to convey in her designs are simplicity, practicality and elegance. Coco is one of the most influential figure of the 20th century. Her ideas are very modernistic and brave, and her models are still the benchmark in simplicity and elegance.
In fact, Schiaparelli's designs were often all too simple to copy, unlike the work of her chief rival, Coco Chanel. After World War II, Schiaparelli, who had lived in New York during the war, returned to Paris and found a different sensibility among its people. The post-war desire for simplicity and practicality made the unique embellishments of her designs less popular, and the endless knock-offs also cut into her profits.
Tom Ford studied design at the before he worked for Perry Ellis andCathy Hardwick. Tom was hired in 1990 to oversee Gucci's women's wear collections, and had a breakthrough four years later when he was appointed creative director. The Gucci makeover masterminded by Ford was the biggest fashion success story of the late 90s. His sultry rock-star velvet hip-slung trousers, leather stilettos, and Halston-esque dresses were blockbusters. After Gucci's buyout of Yves Saint Laurent in 1999, Ford also became creative director of YSL Rive Gauche. In 2005, Ford launched the Tom Ford brand.
Like Halston, Calvin Klein epitomized disco glamour in the freewheeling late Seventies. His tight designer jeans, which clung to the sleek bodies of the greatest beauties of the day, including the young Brooke Shields, cemented his fame and made him millions of dollars. However, Calvin Klein's reign continued well into the 80's and 90's – his spare, stripped-down designs offered a minimalist perspective that carried a very modern message. The use of sexuality in his ads was often a keystone of his success; his campaigns were designed to send overt messages and perhaps to shock. Today, his empire is still strong, despite some turbulence in the late nineties: his suits, dresses, and couture still offer a unique viewpoint.
Famous brands and designers from France include Chanel, Louis Vuitton, L'Oreal, Christian Louboutin, Balmain, Lancôme, Givenchy, Le Coq Sportif, Cartier, Guerlain, Sonia Rykiel, Longchamp, Pierre Cardin, Kenzo, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Clarins, A.P.C., Jean Paul Gaultier, Lacoste, Hermès, Thierry Mugler, Lanvin, Inès de La Fressange, Quechua, Chloé, Lolita Lempicka, Nina Ricci, Rochas, Cerruti, Oxbow and Céline.
Experiment with elements of design like shape, form, silhouette, proportion, texture, pattern and colour. In fashion design process the term silhouette refers to express the overall shape and volume of the design. Silhouette is one of the most important design considerations and it is easy to overlook when working on paper in a two-dimensional context. Designer gives the perfect silhouette from the front side and from the back side or side view. It is the meaningful relationship between garment and body like A-line, I-line, V-line, two tiered silhouette etc.
It was during this period that many design houses began to hire artists to sketch or paint designs for garments. The images were shown to clients, which was much cheaper than producing an actual sample garment in the workroom. If the client liked their design, they ordered it and the resulting garment made money for the house. Thus, the tradition of designers sketching out garment designs instead of presenting completed garments on models to customers began as an economy.
Wanderer enlivened looks meets the spectacular fly set styling, and you have gypset, described by striking examples, orientalism and richness of bohemianism. It is one of the greatest design incline for ladies this year, and is absolutely wearable. It is a fun and charming voyage line, starting in the '70s. Zest up your normal work and night closet with a dash of shading and exoticism. Layered tunics with Aladdin pants, oriental-roused embellishments and intense botanical examples, will energize the look.

To get attractive design, the feel, handle and texture of fabrics is most essential. Fashion is a visual medium; so touch becomes increasingly important to express luxury looks at the fashion market. Textile technologists have made great improvements in the sensual aspects of fabric like how it feels, looking and behaves, in addition to treatments that can affect the look and feel of garments after they are made, for example, washes and abrasions.
I don't know what style category I fit into. I seem to have casual, sexy, girly, punk and tomboy. I even like the sporty style. It actually depends on my mood but most of the time, I like romantic clothes with lace, chic stuff, and if I don't feel like dressing up, I just want casual or tomboy. Usually with crop tops and high waisted jeans. What….am I???

Here is UHURU KENYATTA's first assignment to KALONZO after giving him a job on Friday! He takes over in Sudan! Will he accomplish the mission?
Politics 07:33
Tuesday November 13, 2018 - Former Vice President, Kalonzo Musyoka, is no longer a jobless man after President Uhuru Kenyatta appointed him to a senior position in his Government.
On Monday, Kalonzo accompanied Foreign Affairs CS, Monica Juma, to Juba to deliver Uhuru's congratulatory message to President Salva Kiir for implementing the South Sudan peace agreement.
Kiir entered into a deal with rebel leaderm Riek Machar, ending years of a bloody conflict in that country.
During his father's burial last Friday, Kalonzo said he will not mind being Uhuru's "mtu wa mkono" - errand boy.
He even 'threatened' those who will meddle with his relationship with the President of unspecified action.
"From today, let no one separate me and my brother Uhuru. I have accepted to run his errands. Those who will attempt to interfere will see my other side," Kalonzo said.
Although there has not been official communication on the former Vice President's new role, he is largely expected to monitor the peace process as the head of the Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (JMEC).
Kalonzo has a brilliant career as a diplomat having already played a role in mediation initiatives in Somalia and South Sudan.
Good one Wiper, wipe off those SS tears of war once and for all. Let them focus in producing real melons. Boy h boy are those SS watermelons sweet or are they sweetest! Seriously that country has the potential to feed the entire continent without breaking a sweat! But guns have been its curse... It is time for that nation to list up an offering to Lord for salvation and who is better placed to do that than the one and only former VP. I mean his BA credentials are bona vide!
Isaiah spoke in chapter 18 and concluded in verse 7 thus concerning Cush.... "At that time gifts will be brought to the Lord Almighty
from a people tall and smooth-skinned,
from a people feared far and wide,
an aggressive nation of strange speech,
whose land is divided by rivers—
the gifts will be brought to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the Lord Almighty."
I submit to all South Sudanese in and out of that country that it is time to apply verse 7 above to your situation and HE Kalonzo is the envoy.

Apple to Court: Don't Give Feds This 'Dangerous Power'
byAngela Moscaritolo Feb 25, 2016
Apple on Thursday urged a California court to vacate an order that calls on Apple to create an operating system that can thwart iPhone encryption.
"No court has ever authorized what the government now seeks, no law supports such unlimited and sweeping use of the judicial process, and the Constitution forbids it," Apple says in its filing (below).
The company reiterated what CEO Tim Cook said in an interview with ABC this week: the request is unprecedented, puts iPhone users at risk, and will inevitably lead to similar requests from law enforcement agencies around the country.
While the government says the order applies only to the iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino shooters, Apple isn't buying that.
"The government says: 'Just this once' and 'Just this phone.' But the government knows those statements are not true; indeed the government has filed multiple other applications for similar orders, some of which are pending in other courts," Apple said. "And as news of this Court's order broke last week, state and local officials publicly declared their intent to use the proposed operating system to open hundreds of other seized devices—in cases having nothing to do with terrorism."
The Justice Department and FBI are "seeking through the courts a dangerous power," Apple argues.
If compelled to create this alternative, encryption-busting OS, Apple would need to assign six to 10 employees to work on it for two to four weeks, at minimum. If similar requests are made by other agencies, Apple would effectively become "a permanent arm of the government's forensics lab," Apple contends.
Logistical issues aside, Apple also says the order "violates Apple's First Amendment rights against compelled speech" by forcing it to write code it finds offensive.
"The demand violates Apple's First Amendment rights against compelled speech and viewpoint discrimination. Apple wrote code for its operating system that reflects Apple's strong view about consumer security and privacy. By forcing Apple to write software that would undermine those values, the government seeks to compel Apple's speech and to force Apple to express the government's viewpoint on security and privacy instead of its own.
"The government's demand also violates Apple's Fifth Amendment right to be free from arbitrary deprivation of its liberties in that it would conscript Apple to develop software that undermines the security mechanisms of its own products."
Cook told ABC that Apple is required to follow the law, but said Cupertino is willing to take this case to the Supreme Court if necessary.

Hey Mayer! This reminds of the ongoing iPhone "Battery" replacement issues... how is it that the "battery" (hardware) needs replacement when these phones were fine until iOS 11 (software)? Conspiracy indeed... I've not gotten the fleet of legacy / upgraded macs I manage onto 10.13 yet, most are on 10.11, but now I think I'll upgrade with great caution. Perhaps do some Geekbench and BlackMagic and/or AJA System speed tests to see if I can find some insight into what Apple is doing here. Did you run HD read/write + processor tests in both scenarios? I'll report my findings when I do this (assuming I remember to come back here...), as now I'm interested in doing this as a test on a partition of one of the machines that will eventually get there... should be able to do this in the coming month. awfulapple!

Farmers doing their part to fight algal blooms, expert says
Ag scientist lauds drop in phosphorus runoff
Jon Stinchcomb
The News-Messenger
GIBSONBURG - An agricultural scientist said farmers are contributing to the efforts to reduce the phosphorus runoff that leads to Lake Erie's harmful algal blooms, but cautioned that the battle must continue.
Mark Riehl, an agronomist with Sunrise Cooperative, spoke at the Sandusky County Chamber of Commerce's 2018 Ag Week Kickoff Breakfast on Friday at Ole Zim's Wagon Shed in Gibsonburg.
"The phosphorus cycle and how it occurs is rather complicated," Riehl said. "That's part of the reason why this isn't a quick-resolve issue."
Stewardship is a responsibility of everyone using fertilizer, Riehl said, which means monitoring, nutrient management planning, and practicing the four R's — right source at the right rate at the right time in the right place.
Riehl said one aspect of his job as an agronomist is to talk to farmers about responsible nutrient management and the placement of fertilizer.
"Most of the phosphorus that is out there is not available to the crop," he said. "That's what makes it difficult to figure out how to make it work within the environment that we're in."
Riehl estimated that out of every 9 to 10 pounds of phosphorus applied to a field, only about 1 pound is available to the crop.
"We know that we have an issue," he said. "We have to be responsible, not only for ourselves, but even for our neighbors. Our neighbors from Canada also use these water sources that come out of Lake Erie."
Riehl stressed that this issue is the shared responsibility of everyone in the watershed.
"A lot of people want to point the finger at agriculture because it's a non-point source," Riehl said. "But I beg to differ. The farmers have actually done their part."
Riehl said soil sampling from throughout the watershed showed over 48 percent of samples would suggest Ohio is deficient in phosphorus. But he added that the available phosphorus causing the blooms obviously has to be coming from somewhere.
Riehl said an increase in pH levels in rainwater has resulted in higher availability of phosphorus in the soil. And the more significant rain events there are, the more that the increase in phosphorus availability is exacerbated.
That excess phosphorus is not being used by the crops and is moving offsite, he said.
"Being good stewards means keeping those pH and phosphorus (levels) in the range of where they need to be — doing what we need to do to do that," Riehl said.
He added that the rising pH levels of rainwater also need to be accounted for when addressing this issue of harmful algal blooms.
Anyone who uses fertilizer, whether on a farm field or home lawn or any environment, is responsible for ensuring that phosphorus is being used by the plants it is intended for, Riehl said.
"We need to change how we monitor, because we're losing the battle," he said. "We have to be better stewards and that involves everybody in the watershed."
At the 2018 Ag Week Kickoff Breakfast on Friday, the Sandusky County Chamber of Commerce's Agricultural Committee awarded two area farmers who have been proactive in their efforts to be good stewards and their service to the ag community.
John Fritz, of The Andersons in Fremont, won the 2018 Agricultural Service Award, for his excellence as a crop adviser to his colleagues, co-workers and customers.
Fritz is the head of The Andersons' 4R Stewardship Management Program, which oversees and offers fertilizer recommendations and rates to all customers.
Greg Diedrich, director of the Sandusky County Agricultural Society, won the 2018 Farmer of the Year Award.
Diedrich, a board member, treasurer and secretary of the Sandusky County Soil and Water Conservation District, is persistently looking into improved nutrient placement for water quality and always willing to lend a hand to another farmer in need.

"You don't have to spend a million bucks to make it look like you did."
- Paula Chamblin Aulino -
Growing up in a family-owned furniture business, Paula has been designing stylish spaces her whole life. "I lend my sense of style and design aesthetics to your vision for creating a space you want to live in...entertain family and friends...love."
Paula uses layers of color and texture to create a "collected over time" feel with modern sensibility. "I listen to what you want because I eventually leave. You live in the space."
As a designer, Paula is known for her unique ability to mix high and low pieces to create stylish spaces. "You don't have to spend a million bucks to make it look like you did."
With over 15 years of interior design experience, Paula has developed a strong network of resources — from the best tradesmen and women to bespoke furniture benchmade in America. Inspired by her worldwide travels, she brings resources to her clients unlike many other designers. "I am constantly on the hunt for cool, special pieces that make my clients' homes distinctive."
Paula with her late father Paul Wayne Chamblin, owner of Chamblin Furniture.
Paula prides herself in the fact that she creates spaces for the individual client — not a "one size fits all" cookie cutter formula...with one exception: Every home needs a touch of animal print. "My favorite color is animal print." She believes that thoughtful interior design means great attention to detail. "It's the details that matter — art, accessories, unique bits— that create personality in a space."
Paula's clients become her friends; she values her clients and the trust they place in her.
"Interior design is a very personal business.
You see how another person lives.
I am honored to be trusted by my clients."
You don't have to lose your style to work with a designer. Ideally, you meld your styles to create the best space possible. "I would describe my personal style as classic and tailored with an edge, and occasional drift into the bohemian."

Living Out-of-State and Filing for Divorce in New York
Divorce is one of the hardest things that anyone can go through. It can generate a range of anxieties, fears, and frustrations that are not easy to deal with. You may be currently separated from your spouse, but are you ready to take the next step and file for divorce to make the dissolution of your marriage official? The divorce process may be further complicated if you live outside of the state of New York. If you have had to go abroad or out of state for work or for some other reason, it is still possible for you to terminate your marriage. The divorce attorneys at Fass & Greenberg are here to guide you through the process.
The New York Court of Appeals in Rosenstiel v. Rosenstiel held that New York will generally recognize a foreign divorce decree granted to a spouse living out-of-state as a matter of courtesy. Typically, the following requirements must be met in order for the foreign divorce to be recognized:
Both spouses must receive adequate notice.
At least one spouse must be physically present in the jurisdiction of the foreign court that is carrying out the divorce (typically, the spouse requesting divorce in the foreign country).
The responding spouse must also have some type of appearance or acknowledgement to the authority of the foreign court. This third requirement can be satisfied by the responding spouse physically appearing in the foreign court or signing a written response showing agreement to this foreign divorce decision.
According to the Supreme Court of the United States in Williams v. North Carolina, states are required to give full faith and credit to divorce decrees obtained in other states, including ex parte decrees (where the court issuing the divorce only had jurisdiction over one spouse, and the other spouse never appeared in court). However, New York Courts are hesitant to give recognition to ex parte foreign divorce decrees obtained abroad. New York will not recognize ex parte foreign divorce decrees that violate public policy concerns. In Farag v. Farag, the Second Department refused to recognize an ex parte divorce attained by a spouse who was present but not domiciled in the foreign country where the other spouse did not appear and was not properly served with process.
New York follows the divisible divorce doctrine, and therefore a valid divorce obtained in a foreign jurisdiction dissolves the marriage but will not distribute property or decide any ancillary relief, such as support, child custody, or counsel fees. Either party may then bring an action to enforce the equitable distribution of property or support in New York. Recently, in Bernhardt v. Schneider, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York emphasized that "an ex parte foreign divorce decree cannot divest the nonappearing spouse of his or her rights" pursuant to New York marital property.
It is also possible to file for divorce within the New York State Court System if you live out of state or in a foreign country. You may want to file for divorce in New York if you have real property in the state or because of the way the state handles certain matters (for example, New York courts often grant more favorable child support awards). For this to be possible, at least one spouse must satisfy the residency requirement as laid out in the Domestic Relations Law Section 230. A spouse can satisfy the residency requirement in several ways:
At least one spouse has been living in New York continuously for at least two years before the divorce case is started; or
At least one spouse has been living in New York continuously for at least one year before the divorce case is started and (1) you got married in New York, or (2) you lived together in New York as a married couple, or (3) the grounds for your divorce happened in New York; or
Both spouses are residents of New York on the day the divorce is started and the grounds for your divorce happened in New York.
Wherever you may be situated in the world, it is crucial that you hire a divorce lawyer to ensure that your rights and interests are protected. You must re-build your life wherever you are, and to allow you to move forward, you must ensure that your marriage has been properly dissolved. It is important to be sure that the divorce is in fact recognized by both U.S. authorities and the courts of your host country. At Fass & Greenberg, we have the necessary knowledge of divorce law to help guide you through the process. If you need to get a divorce from an overseas location, you should speak to the Garden City divorce attorneys at Fass & Greenberg.
There are other considerations in obtaining an out-of-state divorce which include how and when you apply for other relief in New York State (such as custody, maintenance, child support, and equitable distribution). We will cover this topic in a separate blog post.

At the last Tri-Ute Council meeting the council passed a resolution supporting presidential designation of a Bears Ears National Monument in Southeast Utah. Bears Ears region is a 1.9 million acre landscape that is sacred to many Southwest Native American tribes. The region is also believed to be home to more than 100,000 archeological sites.
On Tuesday, June 14 in Towaoc, Colo. Ute Mountain Ute Councilman Malcolm Lehi gave a history of the Inter-Tribal Coalition – Ute Mountain Ute, Ute Indian Tribe, Navajo Nation, Hopi Tribe and the Pueblo of Zuni – that was formed in the effort to conserve the Bears Ears cultural landscape. Structures and sites in the region have been vandalized, looted and desecrated over the years and with a designation the coalition hopes the region will be better protected.
Lehi asked Southern Ute to join the sister tribes and support the coalition's mission to preserve Bears Ears.
"We are asking Southern Ute [Indian Tribe] to support us and other tribes that are asking President Obama to turn this into a National Monument," Lehi said.
The coalition has been working on getting support from as many tribes as they can and requested the Tri-Ute Council's support.
"It's important that we do show support for Bears Ears," Southern Ute Chairman, Clement J. Frost said. "Look at the ties that band us together as Native Americans; it's important we continue to support things like this."
The Tri-Ute Council took a vote and passed the resolution of support making it the first joint resolution passed by the Tri-Ute Council.
"History was made with this," Lehi said. "Not just for us, it is for all tribal nations."
The Tri-Ute Council also used the time to discuss the ongoing issue of providing services to Ute tribal members that reside on sister tribes' reservations. The topic has been talked about but has had trouble catching on due to the changing Executive Offices of each tribe. The Tri-Ute Council heard from the Executive Offices of the three sister tribes for the first time last week.
"We got quite a bit of work to do yet," Ute Mountain Executive Director Kermit Palmer said.
The Executives Officers must figure out how a budget will work; who will be in charge of the services on each reservation; and what the guidelines and protocols will be.
"We've heard it through the years; here are their needs. [Tribal members] would greatly appreciate if we came together as leaders to help them," Ute Mountain Councilwoman, Priscilla Blackhawk-Rentz said.
Frost agreed stating, "It's a good start … My focus is to be focused on the people. Focus on our peoples' needs. What are the terms when they live away from their own people?"
Southern Ute Councilwoman, Amy J. Barry asked the Executive team to get the demographics of each reservation to see how many tribal members live on a fellow sister reservation. Doing so will help with the budgeting process, she said.
The Council also discussed the $75,000 collective commitment that History Colorado is requesting from the three Ute tribes to support the exhibits at the Ute Indian Museum in Montrose, Colo. – a $25,000 commitment from each tribe.
Chairman Frost, said the Southern Ute Indian Tribe needs more information from the Ute Museum on the expenditures before the tribe can agree to move forward with the commitment. The Tri-Ute Council agreed with Frost, and no decisions were made pending more information from History Colorado.
Also present at the meeting were tribal elders from the three Ute Tribes. The elders listened in on the meeting and used the meeting as a platform to provide some guidance to the council.
Ute Mountain Ute elder, Betty Howe, talked about language and urged the Tri-Ute Council to keep the youth and culture in mind when making decisions.
Ute Indian Tribe elder, Jonas Grant and his wife Joy, also gave a presentation to the Tri-Ute Council asking them to support the Shoshonean-Numic Language Reunion. The reunion is held annually and was formed when questions arose of tradition and origins of the Shoshone Tribes and the Comanche, and also the relationship of the Ute and Paiute Tribes.
"That's part of our language," Grant said. "That's why we came to Tri-Ute to encourage you to send people to the reunion."
Grant also said he would like to see a "Ute Nation" color guard come together. Grant talked passionately about the sister tribes supporting one another and would like to see more "Ute Nation" rather than the three tribes being separated.
Southern Ute elder, Judy Lansing also sat in on the meeting and said she feels leadership needs to include all the elders more.
"Get the elders involved," she said. "They want to be involved to help and tell stories and feel good about themselves and the community."
The next Tri-Ute Council meeting is scheduled to take place in Ignacio, Colo. during the Southern Ute Tribal Fair.

LENE VESTERGAARD HAU; SCIENTIST AT WORK
She Puts the Brakes on Light
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Her hair is boyishly cropped, her clothes are casual, and while riding her bike around Cape Cod she could pass as a college freshman.
But Dr. Lene Vestergaard Hau is no freshman. A teacher at Harvard University and an accomplished experimenter, she has gained a formidable reputation in a branch of science traditionally dominated by men: physics.
Most of all, she is known as the scientist who slowed light down to a walk.
Dr. Lene (pronounced LEE-nuh) Hau, at 39, is rapidly reaching the top of her profession, her colleagues agree. On Feb. 18 the prestigious scientific journal Nature selected for its cover article a paper of which she was the leading author, and it caused a mild sensation.
In their paper, Dr. Hau, with Dr. Steve E. Harris of Stanford University and two of Dr. Hau's Harvard students, reported the results of their experiment in which a beam of laser light was slowed to the astonishingly low speed of 38 miles an hour. (By comparison, light in a vacuum travels about 186,000 miles per second.)
Dr. Hau's laboratory at the Rowland Institute for Science in Cambridge (where she conducts research with the help of her graduate and post-doctoral students from Harvard) ) is one of a handful of organizations studying the interactions of lasers with a very peculiar kind of matter called a Bose-Einstein condensate.
It was by shining precisely tuned lasers on such a condensate, or cloud, of ultra-cold sodium atoms that Dr. Hau and her team reduced the speed of a light beam to a pace slower than her bicycle.
The achievement, noted by many newspapers, magazines and broadcasters, was a tour de force of pure physics, and it may also herald great practical applications.
Among them could be the development of optical switches that could enormously improve the performance of computers.
Dr. Hau presides over a half million dollars' worth of apparatus at the Rowland Institute, a research organization founded by the late Edwin H. Land, the inventor of Polaroid instant photography, to support innovative research. Unmarried, Dr. Hau lives near the laboratory and spends most of her time either at the laboratory or pondering the problems her next experiment will present.
''I find that the shower is a very good place to think things out,'' she said, ''but sometimes I forget what I'm doing. Once I even stepped into the shower with my clothes on.''
Although increasing numbers of women have entered the sciences in recent years, their participation in physics remains very limited. Of several hundred scientists attending a typical physics meeting, only a half dozen or so are likely to be women. Dr. Hau is often asked how she came to be one of them.
''For one thing,'' she said, ''I was lucky to be a Dane. Denmark has a long scientific tradition that included the great Niels Bohr, one of the founders of quantum theory.
In Denmark, physics is widely respected by laymen as well as scientists, and laymen contribute to physics. For instance, research in quantum mechanics has been supported in Denmark by the makers of Carlsberg beer since the 1920's. I myself was supported as a graduate student for one year by a Carlsberg scholarship.''
Dr. Hau was born in Vejle, a small town not far from the University of Aarhus, on the east coast of Jutland.
''Neither of my parents had any background in science,'' she said. ''My father was in the heating business and my mother worked in a store. But both of them believed in giving me the same advantages as my brother, which was very important to my education.''
A prodigy who skipped 10th grade, she was immediately accepted at a ''gymnasium,'' a European upper school roughly equivalent to the first two years of college in the United States.
From childhood Dr. Hau was fascinated by mathematics, especially geometry. ''All my life I have needed to visualize things, even abstractions. Without a visualization in my head I'm lost, and geometry is very visual.''
This approach to physics works, she said, even for visualizing mathematical abstractions like Hilbert spaces (named for David Hilbert, a German mathematician), which combine a variety of physical states (or ''wave functions'') into a single mathematical entity.
''When I first entered Arhus University,'' Dr. Hau recalled, ''I was bored by physics. They just taught us thermodynamics and classical mechanics, and that bored me. But I loved mathematics. I would rather do mathematics than go to the movies in those days.
''But after a while I discovered quantum mechanics, and that got me interested in physics again, and I've been hooked ever since.''
Quantum mechanics is a system of probabalistic rules governing the discontinuous jumps in behavior of very small particles of matter and energy. Transistors and many other electronic devices work according to these rules.
Dr. Hau was awarded her Ph.D. from the University of Arhus in 1991 after completing a dissertation on the ''channeling'' of electrons along strings of atoms in a silicon crystal, as if the atomic strings were miniature wave guides, like the optical fibers used to guide light.
Along the way she acquired a working knowledge of English, German and French. French proved to be vital to her work during seven months of research she conducted at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics near Geneva.
''The scientific papers were written in English, but the meetings announcing the availability of various particle beams were all in French, and without French I would have been lost,'' Dr. Hau said.
''I loved it at CERN. The people were really passionate about their work. Even at 3 in the morning you would always see people in the labs.''
In 1988, while completing her Ph.D. work, Dr. Hau made her first trip to the United States, looking for a post-doctoral job. By then she had received a one-year stipend from Carlsberg so she could accept a post-doctoral university appointment without pay. Among the scientists she met was Dr. Jene A. Golovchenko, a physicist at Harvard, who also worked at the Rowland Institute.
''I told Jene what I had been doing and also that I wanted a complete change in direction. I wanted to work on cooling atoms,'' she said. ''He told me he didn't know anything about cooling atoms but said we could work together on it, so I was given a post-doctoral appointment. Later, the Rowland Institute gave me a staff job and my own laboratory.''
Although she is a permanent United States resident, Dr. Hau has not applied for citizenship.
''I would like to be a citizen so I could vote,'' she said, ''but I would have to give up Danish citizenship, and that would make me feel disloyal. Last week the Danish comedian and pianist Victor Borge performed in Boston for two straight hours -- and it was hilarious -- even though he is 90 years old. Now there's a Dane for you, one to make you feel proud.''
Although much of Dr. Hau's work is done on a blackboard, she is also a ''dirty hands'' physicist who builds and adjusts much of her own complex apparatus.
In 1994, she and Dr. Golovchenko designed and built an ingenious atomic beam source called the ''candlestick,'' which is now a part of Dr. Lau's light-slowing apparatus. The device incorporates a ''wick'' made of gold-plated stainless-steel cloth, which soaks up hot molten sodium metal and wicks the sodium up to a heater that vaporizes it. A jet of hot sodium atoms then shoots out of a pinhole into the cooling apparatus that chills them to a tiny fraction of a degree above absolute zero.
An atom at room temperature moves at high speed, but when it is bombarded from three directions by laser beams it loses energy and slows down: it cools off. In a complicated series of stages, Dr. Hau's apparatus uses lasers to cool the sodium atoms part way, and then evaporates the fastest (and therefore hottest) of them, saving the coolest in the trap. At the end of this cooling operation (which takes 38 seconds), the cloud of atoms in the trap has been reduced to only 50 one-billionths of a degree above absolute zero, a temperature far colder than any in nature, even in the depths of space.
Because of the Uncertainty Principle -- one of the fundamental rules of quantum mechanics -- the more precisely the momentum (or velocity) of a particle is known, the less precisely is it possible to measure its position, and vice versa. At exactly zero degrees (which in practice could never be reached), a particle would have zero momentum, a precise value. This would mean that the particle's position would be highly uncertain; it might be found anywhere within a large volume of possible places.
The volume occupied by each ultra-cold sodium atom in Dr. Hau's trap expands enormously, so much so that atoms in the trap are forced to overlap and merge into what physicists call a Bose-Einstein condensate (named for the theorists Satyendra Nath Bose and Albert Einstein), in which the atoms' quantum wave functions are combined.
Once the condensate is created, a ''coupling'' laser tuned to resonate with the trapped mass of atoms is beamed into the trap chamber so that the atoms and photons of light become ''entangled'' with each other, behaving as if they were a single entity. A pulsed laser probe is then shot into the ''laser dressed'' condensate from a different direction, and some of its light passes through, but at a speed 20 million times as slow as the speed of light in a vacuum.
A table covered with a labyrinth of little mirrors guides a network of beams requiring perfect adjustment, and Dr. Hau and her team work long and tedious hours, sometimes around the clock. Their eyes become strained from exposure to the glaring yellow laser spots reflected from the apparatus.
''Of course, we have to eat while we work, and we like pepperoni pizza, but we have to be careful to keep the optical system clean,'' she said. ''Each cooling cycle for the sodium atoms takes 38 seconds, and that gives us just enough time to take a bite of pizza, change hands and flip up one of the mirrors in the optical system to prepare for the next cooling cycle. It takes some practice.''
Dr. Hau is considering an experiment to measure localized wave functions in the cooled atom trap, allowing her to explore the structure of the condensate.
''Some people think it might be dangerous, that the trap might explode. But the most worthwhile physics is often a bit dangerous,'' she said.
''When you're looking at the computer monitor and you suddenly see what you had hoped you would find,'' she added, ''it's the greatest feeling in the world.''

Introduction - Mundanely
Diego joined the SCA in 1981. While serving overseas, the Kingdom of Drachenwald was just a principality then and a grand experience for me. In total, I spent 10 years in Drachenwald and I had the privilege of attending the first crown tourney won by Elffin O'Mona.
AS A FIGHTER
While it was a great adventure, professional commitments didn't allow for much in the way of attendance, much less service. I held a smattering of offices, unofficially, but didnt have much opportunity otherwise. Likewise, that's mostly what can be said for my opportunities as a fighter. I had a great teacher in the form of His Excellency, Sir Kenneth MacQuarrie. He can be seen in this next picture preparing to serve me a final lesson. I seemed to learn best when my legs received a "flesh wound"
I had several more opportunities to strut my stuff in 80 pounds of armor and stifling Scottish heat (no, really. Scotland can get hot). After charging the Portcullis a number of times and being thrown back at a castle ruin where we were having the event, I needed to sit. As I recall, I had a hard time getting back up and finally went back to my tent to strip off the sweaty steal and fell fast asleep.
My last days as a fighter came in 1996 when I was transferred to Omaha and the Kingdom of Calontir. Sadly, back problems forced me to shed more and more weight in armor and eventually had to hang up my sword entirely. Rotating from the hip-one of the few things I was good at-became problematic and just wasn't worth the trauma to the vertebrae. Not to worry though, I was outclassed by many and the realization that I was simply a mediocre fighter made it easier and an even wiser move to let it go.
THE INTERREGNUM
While I have been associated with the SCA in one form or another for over 40 years, military and subsequent professional life made active membership quite spotty. There were literally years where I had no time whatsoever. To be sure I read and kept up with what was new and shiny, but there was a dearth of SCA events, friends, and chosen family. It was well in to the 2000's before that was to change.
ATLANTIA
I came to Atlantia in 2004. Employed by Homeland, I once again was plagued by bad schedules and demanding work life. Initially, I reengaged with the local groups in DC and Virginia but again fell off from regular attendance. It was only around 2017-18 that I was able to make things semi-permanent. I was happy!
I joined the Barony of Ponte Alto where I fully re-engaged with the SCA. I attended local events like "Bloodbath", other Baronial events like "Battle on the Bay", and kingdom events like "Twelfth Night" and numerous Crown Tournaments. It was at these events where I discovered one activity I really enjoy: retaining. To date I have retained for multiple crowns and baronies. By the end of the day my feet are dead weight, but the opportunities to become accustomed to traditions and to get to know the populous is unmatched. I highly recommend it!
With my early retirement a possibility, there is no telling what may be in store for me and the SCA. It has certainly been a surprise so far!

Diego Diaz de Oviedo is the second son of Diego Alonso Ramirez, a prosperous merchant in 15th century Spain, region of Asturias. Upon the death of his father in 1486, Diego Diaz inherited a small interest in the merchant shipping firm left by his father to his four sons. With the lions share of company control going to Alvaro, the first child, Diego was forced to seek other means of employment and adventure.
As a constable of the city guard, life was boisterous and exciting in Oviedo but it lacked the access to the sea and the rest of the world. Returning to Gijon, where Diego's father had previously established his small trading fleet of Carracks, he took a captaincy from his brother and plied the family trade up and down the Iberian coast. From port to port, this was the excitement Diego craved and what led to his greater wealth, experience and not a little love for most things Moorish.
THE STORM CLAIMS ALL
In 1491, just before the success of the Reconquista and the conclusion to the Grenada War, Diego sailed through the Straits of Gibraltar Southeast by East almost directly into a headwind. On the one hand, heading southeast away from the coast of Grenada was only sane. Until the vestigial raiders out of Almeria could be destroyed, only a fool would ply his trade near the coast of the Reino de Granada; especially if those ships were laden with Spanish wool and the finest silk brocade bound for Venezia. Of course, failing to anticipate the storm on the other side of the strait and consequently having to veer deeply south toward the rebel stronghold of Cueta, on the coast of Africa, indicated a lack of wit as intense.
Tacking violently to shape a course loosely similar to North East by East as the contrary winds buffeted and rolled the ships this way then that, the lookout, straining to be heard over the wind and the pounding of the ships pumps, spotted two dismasted ships tethered precariously to a third ship not necessarily in much better condition. Through his looking glass the 1st mate spotted a flag flying from a makeshift mizzen mast. They were war ships. And the flag was Spanish.
Diego swore under his breath. If he was close enough to make out their identity, they too could see his. There was no running away and leaving them to their fate. If they survived and he rendered no aid, the family would be ruined. The wind wouldn't subside for some time. They threw out an anchor and just stared at each other.
When dawn came and the wind veered off the five ships had drifted further apart despite their anchors. By mid morning Diego had come along side the gallon restraining the other two. In the light of day there could be seen spars, cordage, masts, and other flotsam surrounding the warships. It looked like the ships had been in battle except that the damage wasn't done by any canon fire. Nature had truly mauled them in to floating wreckage.
Taking the gig across to the gallon, Diego met the ships captain on the gangway. But he wasn't alone.
"Allow me to present Duke Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba. His Grace commands the forces on this voyage
This just gets better and better. Diego said under his breath.
"Your Grace it is truly by the mercy of god that we came upon you. I am Diego, late of Oviedo, and I command the 'Alonso' and the 'Diaz'. We are a week out of Gijon and are bound for Venezia. Allow me to extend to you the comfort of my ship while we aid you in the repair of your vessels."
The dukes continence was stormy and preoccupied. He stepped closer to Diego.
"Thank you Captain Diego for your generosity and the gift of your arrival; however, I'm afraid Spain requires more of you this day."
Diego could just hear his older brother lecturing him on the perils of trading in the Mediterranean. "I'm sorry Your Grace. I dont understand." Diego could feel the wind being sucked from his lungs.
"Captain, we are bound for Malaga where we will land my army and push on to the final defeat of the barbarians at Grenada!" The duke gesticulated expansively in the direction of Spain. De Cordoba seemed to possess himself before he spoke again.
Captain Diego, by command of Their Most Catholic Majesties, I hereby commandeer both your vessels in support of the war against Grenada. Two of my vessels are beyond viable repair. We will off load their cargo and crew to my flag ship, the 'Princessa', and to the Alonso and the Diaz. We will then proceed to Malaga where we will off load all three ships. You may then continue on your way." the duke said.
Service through Administration: Because of my too often pronounced inability to attend events and be anywhere in person, over time I turned to positions within the barony and Kingdom to render service. As I have some many years of experience as a manager, it seemed like a reasonable accommodation between real life and the SCA. While I have somewhat more time now, I find I enjoy administration of organizations. This is my chosen field of service within the SCA. I hope to eventually serve as a great officer and in time commit to serving at the Society level as well.
Service: Serving Those Who Serve: This is just something I do because I see the occasional need at events. I enjoy running from one event venue to another and offering my "Stand-in" service for bathroom breaks, or running to get lunch or drinks for those stuck at troll or Goldkey for instance. We have so many volunteers but fewer people to serve them when they have need.
General Service: As mentioned previously, I enjoy retaining. I am always willing to serve when I am present at an event and also willing to teach the less experienced.
Arts and Sciences: I am not what I envision when I think of a "talented person". I am highly unlikely to Laurel. Nevertheless, Bookmaking and Bookbinding are my chief creative interests in the SCA. There are auxiliary skills related to bookbinding such as leathercraft and paper and parchment making that I also find interesting. I will pursue these skills at length.
Martial: Aside from the heavy fighting of which I can no longer partake, I enjoy Fencing. Unfortunately, I seem to be having some trouble now with my knees, especially while in the "En Gaurd" stance. For now, I've had to bow out of fencing; however, if I can correct the problem, I will return to it. While I haven't engaged them yet, I will pursue both Archery and Thrown Weapons. I am unsure of equestrian; however, I will partake if body and time allows.

Spirit Aero To Expand Work on Aerion Supersonic AS2
by Kerry Lynch
- July 28, 2020, 11:52 AM
As it prepares for first flight in 2023, Aerion Supersonic is rounding out its supply and design team for the AS2 with the agreement for Spirit to design and build the forward fuselage. (Photo: Aerion Supersonic)
Aerion Supersonic continues to fill out the supply team for its Mach 1.4 AS2 business jet, expanding the role of Wichita-based Spirit AeroSystems to cover design and production of the forward fuselage. Under a memorandum of understanding, Spirit will further invest in the AS2 and increase engineering.
This builds on the existing relationship between Aerion and Spirit that began in 2019, initially involving preliminary design work. Aerion said that by joining the project in the early stages, Spirit's technical expertise has "significantly advanced the design evolution" of the supersonic jet as it prepares to kick off production in 2023.
Aerion anticipates Spirit will build 36 forward fuselage assemblies annually at full rate. The company further anticipates building 300 AS2s in the first decade of production at its final assembly facility in Melbourne, Florida.
"Spirit AeroSystems has been an outstanding partner in the design and development of the AS2, and their considerable aerostructures expertise has proven a core enabler in the evolution of our program," said Aerion chairman, president, and CEO Tom Vice.
The announced agreement follows last week's naming of Collins Aerospace to develop the flight control actuation system for the AS2. Other suppliers include GE Aviation, Honeywell, Safran, GKN Aerospace, Aernnova, and Potez Aeronautique. In addition, Boeing has collaborated on the program.
Aerion is targeting a 2025 first flight and a 2027 service entry.

This is another awesome product from TP-LINK! I first got this when I was sick and started using it for my bedside fan to turn it off and on as needed made things a lot easier on myself when I could just use my phone to turn on and off something so simple. Currently use it for my tall room lamp for convince, Still looking for new uses!


** This post is sponsored by Crystal Farms Cheese® but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.
I recently have been craving empanadas, but I have never made them! So instead I decided to make a cheese vegetarian puff pastry filled with mozzarella, my favorite beefless crumbles and chopped sweet peppers. It's super easy to make and can feed six people of all ages with one large pastry each that can be a meal on-the-go!
Moving to the Midwest has opened my eyes to the delicious cheese products from Crystal Farms® Cheese, based in Lake Mills, Wisconsin. Crystal Farms® Whole MIlk Mozzarella Cheese is made by cheese lovers, for cheese lovers with few preservatives. Their cheese products are rich in calcium and gluten-free.
Crystal Farms® Whole Milk Mozzarella Cheese is available in the refrigerated dairy section.
Chop the sweet peppers and saute them until soft. Season them as desired with salt and pepper and garlic powder. Add crumbles and continue cooking on medium heat for about 8 minutes or as directed on the package. Stir occassionally and set aside when thoroughly cooked.
Unroll two packages of puff pastry, which usually comes with eight perforated sections. Seal the edges and roll with a rolling pin to be as thin as possible. Then use a knife to cut six-inch by six-inch squares (Size doesn't need to be exact.). Then cut each of the six squares into two triangles.
Pour the Crystal Farms® cheese into a large mixing bowl. Add the beefless crumbles and peppers and stir. Scoop at least a quarter cup (more if it will fit) of the mixture onto a triangle and top with the opposing triangle piece of puff pastry. Seal the edges with a fork or your fingers. Poke two mini holes on top of each puff pastry with a toothpick or a fork. Repeat with the five other puff pastries. Brush each pastry with egg.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake for 10-13 minutes until golden brown on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Considering the lack of water in the Royston area, it supports a wide variety of birdlife.
Four hundred years ago King James 1 and his entourage could have been seen hunting on Therfield Heath for Wild Boar and Great Bustards. Sadly the Bustards have long since gone, as have the Corncrakes, Stone Curlews, Red-backed Shrikes and Hooded Crows that were once common here (Hooded Crows gave rise to a derogatory description of us Roystoners and are still referred to in the name of a local paper, the "Royston Crow").
Nevertheless, Royston and its surrounds still support a wide variety of birdlife. Farmland birds, such as Yellowhammers and Linnets, are doing well here and the rapidly-declining Corn Bunting still has a foothold in the farmland surrounding the town, as do summer visitors such as Yellow Wagtail and Lesser Whitethroat. Sensitive countryside management, in particular at Greys Farm to the south-west of the town, has also led to a big increase in Grey Partridge numbers. On the other side of the A10, large numbers of Red-legged Partridges are released each year for shooting, so my 'local patch' is probably the best in the country for seeing both our partridge species! The grain which the Partridges and Pheasants feed on also attracts mice and voles, which in turn encourages raptors such as Kestrels, Owls and Buzzards. Short-eared Owls are an almost annual winter visitor to the area, whilst there is a roost of Long-eared Owls in some winters. In common with many other nearby sites, Red Kites have now become easy to find and, with the occasional appearance of Marsh Harriers in the early autumn and Hen Harriers in the winter, I reckon that The Royston area is the best site for viewing raptors (particularly in winter) in the Home Counties! Small numbers of Lapwings breed on the ridge between Barkway and Weston.
Not surprisingly, water birds are in short supply here. However, the area is an important stopping off point for migrating birds (especially wheatears, redstarts and ring ouzels) heading north in the spring. Whitethroats, Lesser Whitethroats, Blackcaps and Chiffchaffs all breed in the area but sadly Willow Warblers, common until very recently on The Heath, no longer breed here due a combination of factors including poor habitat management. The area between Royston and Baldock is the best in the country for seeing or (more likely) hearing Common Quail.
Since I started bird watching on my 'local patch' I've found quite a few rare birds, including at least four Firecrests, a Rough-legged Buzzard, several Yellow-legged Gulls and, most recently, a 'trip' of four Dotterel in April 2017. Other rare birds that have been found locally in recent years include Great Grey Shrike (which over-wintered for two consecutive years in the Therfield area), Red-backed Shrike and Montagu's Harrier. My 'local patch' bird list currently (October 2017) stands at 119 and I'm confident that it will expand, albeit slowly, over the coming years. For recent sightings and a list of the birds that I have seen within a 2 mile (3 km) radius of my home in south Royston, see "What's About?" for the current year.


Simply mix the Liquid Castile Soap and essential oil in the Foamer Bottle; then fill the remainder of the bottle with water (only fill to about an inch and a half from the top to save room for the foamer pump), and screw the lid on. Feel free to wash your hands immediately and enjoy your homemade foaming soap!
Turn this into a face wash by only using 1/4 cup Liquid Castile Soap, adding 5 drops melaleuca essential oil, and filling the rest up with water.
Add some decorations such as ribbons or snowflakes to make a fun gift.

how long can i keep for this foaming hand soap?
This foaming hand soap will keep for several months to a year.
I also add a 1tsp of fractionated coconut oil to mine. Adds a little moisturizer.
Can you use this plastic container with the citrus oils? On guard?
Yes, because the plastic is a high quality PET plastic and the oils are diluted heavily, you can safely use citrus oils in your soap.
I tried to make this with my own homemade liquid castile soap (by shaving a Kirks' castile bar and adding water). My soap foams but once I start washing the foam disappears. Any advice?
Try adding a little more Castile Soap to the water.

Major independents producing exclusively with the participation of a studio have 100% of their pictures green-lit, as they never offer them something that is not needed by them. Every deal that a studio makes is a good deal for them, and we would know 100% of the time if a certain deal, property, and approach would be accepted by them before stepping in to their office.
In the system, and in QSE, investor money is 100% of the time not used for production, but exclusively for development. After engaged production financing by bank there is 0% chance of return, the picture will be produced. Banks never lose their invested money as completion bond company will take over if the producing company fails to deliver the film for studio. If this takeover happens, the picture generally fails, as the money is paid out on delivery of the film and not on its artistic quality. Completion bond needs to make sure they don't need to take over to protect the distributor (studio) from the bank, not only to satisfy the bank's contract with the studio. There is about 0,1 % of a chance that this will ever happen. If it does it is a ruin for the one film producing company, for parent production company and its personnel, and a sad day for the studio. If something happens in the production phase the Investor has already recouped their investment from financing development. Investments in development are paid out right after bank financing for production has engaged, unless an investor has long term development financing agreement with the production company.
1 out of 100 producers in the United States would know to approach the industry the way we do, It really is an anomaly to know how to do it right. 1 percent of them who have the necessary skills are ever offered the chance to set up a business the way it provides a good service to the system. It is a good surprise for the industry as a whole when a newcomer has been able to set up a company from outside the industry in the way that it works right.
At the largest American film festival, Sundance, at best, 5 out of 3000 films a year are picked up for distribution by a studio. This is not worth the gamble.
98% of the pictures produced by independent financing have no distribution commitments, and never earn back their production costs.
Most films lose money, but 80% of the pictures correctly developed by private financing or corporate financing from outside the industry system gross good income.
