How to bleach fabric at home
Whitening at home
"French" whitening
Folk recipes
White color is inseparable from our life. It is a symbol of purity, integrity, peace and pacification, brevity and rigor, an integral part of both business and romantic style. The favorite color of connoisseurs of order, harmony and peace. A sign of lightness and neatness. Every housewife has a lot of white things in her house: wardrobe items, bedding and underwear, curtains, tulle and much more. Everyone knows for sure that the snow-whiteness of any fabric is extremely short-lived. Constant use and frequent washing lead to the appearance of gray or yellow spots and shades, the color loses its purity. Let's analyze tips on how to bleach fabric at home.
White is universal, it is restrained but expressive, laconic and bright at the same time, it is a foam of lace and marble in one person. On a white background, the advantages and disadvantages of the entire spectrum are perfectly highlighted, any colors become bright and saturated. Therefore, it is important to maintain the whiteness of your textiles and clothing.
Returning the original linen is a very time-consuming task. What are the ways to return lost underwear?
Give it to the dry cleaner.
Whiten at home.
"French" way.
Use folk remedies.
If everything is simple with the first point, then when choosing the second option, you need to carefully study the properties of fabrics and the manipulations that can be carried out with them without damaging the fibers. After all, it is impossible to bleach cotton, silk or wool using the same procedure due to the different properties of the fabric.
Most cotton and linen bleaches contain chlorine. This is an effective tool, but it has a number of disadvantages:
thins fabric fibers and, with repeated use, leads to a loss of material strength;
has a pungent strong smell;
dangerous for breathing;
can cause allergy attacks.
To eliminate the risk to the health of the family, it is better to use another method of exposure – ammonia – it is softer in relation to the fibers. When diluted in 10 liters of water, 6 tbsp. ammonia, within half an hour the yellowish shade is removed without damage to the tissue structure. To overcome severe pollution, it is worth adding one more ingredient – 2 tbsp. l. turpentine After soaking, things are subjected to normal washing.
Silk and wool products claim more careful treatment. Here the reverse sequence of actions takes place: soaking is carried out after washing.
Dissolve 50 g of any powder for hand washing and 30 ml of 3% medical hydrogen peroxide in 12 liters of salted (8 tablespoons of salt) water.
Place a white cloth in the solution.
Four hours is enough to return the laundry, it remains to rinse things in water, preferably in warm water, and dry.
Such whimsical fabrics as guipure, lace, tulle or chiffon require special attention. Experienced housewives advise soaking the following things before washing (10 liters of heated water; 2 tablespoons of 3% hydrogen peroxide; 1 tablespoon of ammonia alcohol) for about half an hour. And then rinse on the appropriate mode in the washing machine or by hand.
Thanks to its simplicity, cheapness and availability of ingredients, this method won the hearts of fans of perfectly white bed linen.
To carry out the procedure, you will need 2 containers, laundry soap and potassium permanganate.
An equal amount of boiling water is poured into 2 containers of the same volume (not less than 7 liters) (half the volume of the container).
Pour 10 g of crushed household soap into the first bowl, and 3-5 crystals of potassium permanganate into the second.
The solutions mix and the water becomes foamy, dark brown, with a slight soapy smell, which, unlike chlorine or chemical bleaches from the store, is a nice bonus.
The laundry is soaked in this liquid for at least 6-8 hours or overnight, and then it is enough to rinse in warm water.
This procedure does not affect the condition of the fabric and is suitable for continuous use.
Nowadays, complex chemical reactions and various ingredients have become the norm of everyday life. The composition of means for cleaning surfaces from dirt, washing, cleaning, cooking and dealing with other household chores could surprise any chemist of the past years.
And it is all the more difficult now to believe that bleaching of fabrics, even delicate ones, can be carried out without armed with a battery of special tools and complex ingredients.
The ecological orientation of modern life contributes to the return to everyday life of the little tricks of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers – they include the use of only plants, herbs, and improvised materials that used to be in any home and are deservedly called folk remedies.
One of the ancient methods of whitening things: the leaves, roots and inflorescences of the "medicinal soap plant" (it is found everywhere in our region) are rubbed until foam is formed. In this solution, products made of delicate fabrics are left for 4-5 hours, and then they are simply wiped by hand.
The method using ash is considered more time-consuming. Dried sunflower stalks are burned, and ash is used to replace washing powder in the household. It can be harvested in large quantities when harvesting gardens, and then used for a long time, as it does not require special storage conditions, except for dryness in the room. The bucket is covered with a cloth, it is used as a filter, ashes are placed on top, and the bucket is filled by pouring water over the substance. The result is soapy water. This solution is used both for washing and for soaking, and then it is enough to rinse the laundry in clean water.
For all types of fabrics, regardless of the methods of bleaching, the following trick will come in handy: you don't need to keep white laundry dirty for a long time – the faster it gets into the wash, the less effort and time it takes to bleach.

Done with trying to find a spiritual leader to follow in this 3D plane and ready to become your own oracle/channel?
Looking for a deep study into the Mysteries of the Higher Realms so you can become the healer that you came here to be?
Ready to become strong spiritually and financially as you step into your highest potential as a lightworker?
Craving the intimacy of being an active member of a family of Light?
Beloved, you are one of the Light Engineers bringing in the New Earth with your very life and your incredible spiritual gifts.
and your work in the world.
as a wealthy spiritual leader.
I have been a Spiritual Mentor for over 16 years. I trained at Agape International Spiritual Center under Michael Bernard Beckwith. I have mentored thousands of clients and students in the depths of financial lack and heart ache and have helped the, with the Ascended Masters and the Archangels, to heal their hearts and lives by connecting to the Light of their own Divinity.
I am passionate about empowering Lightworkers spiritually and financially so you can expand your service in the world.
I have experienced deep financial pain in my life. I've also know spiritual rebellion.
I come from a family of evangelic Christian missionaries. I had zero money training. I also was spoon feed from an early age that my role was to be a submissive wife and mother. Women had no place in spiritual leadership.
My life spun out of control as a young wife and mother. I couldn't even walk into a church for 20 years, without feeling claustrophobic.
My 'freedom journey' was painful and liberating. As a single mom, a musician and a spiritual seeker, I continued to barely eek out a living.
When I became a Spiritual Practitioner I finally took ownership of my spiritual gifts.
When I started working with the Ascended Masters, Archangels and the entire Company of Heaven everything in my life went to another level of co-creation.
My self doubts (which use to take me out for days at a time) and feelings of unworthiness vanished.
My sessions and my classes started to go really deep. People started being healed of cancer, broken hearts and financial pain.
My income has steadily increased, this year it has doubled. The gap from desire to manifestation has gone from years of waiting, to days and moments.
I am so clear about what is mine to do and I am filled full with JOY.
I'm not unique. This is happening to all my students as well and it can happen for you.
That's why I created the Seven Sacred Flames Master Class.
The Seven Sacred Rays are a university for us. They will help you learn how to raise your own vibration. You will gain mastery over your feelings and your thoughts with the help of the Ascended Masters.
In this masterclass we will work with the Seven Sacred Rays, one at a time. Each Ray is designed to assist you in the restoration of your soul, your heart bliss, your financial well being and your divine faculties (your psychic connection).
These immortal and eternal Flames of God will work for you as you work with them as you ascend (transcend all human conditions).
This class will not only show you how to access and use the wisdom of the Ascended Masters and the Archangels, but you will build your own relationships with these Mighty Beings. That means your spiritual progress and practice will be TURBO CHARGED.
What happens to you when your spiritually strong? You have the courage to fly past your insecurities and become visible as a Lightworker, fully supported financially in this world.
The requirements for this class? You must have a solid spiritual practice. In order for this class to be effective in your life, you must be willing to fully participate. This is a Master Class and you'll be working as a master.
When? We will begin October 4, 2018.
Where? Where ever you are, on your phone and online.
8 Seven Sacred Flames Circles, This is community time of sharing, discussion, guided meditations and singing.
All calls are recorded for your convenience.
Each class will be recorded so that you can keep the deep meditations from this class to use over and over again. And you will.
jennifer's teaching of the seven sacred flames has been so rewarding. prior to starting the class my familiarity of this work was superficial and disjointed. i was familiar with a little of this and that.. i did not feel comfortable working with the flames even though i was attracted to them. i felt nervous and awkward invoking them in prayers and meditation feeling i was not doing so "correctly". ; yet because of the class i am far more comfortable working with the material.. jennifer presents this work clearly, patiently, and with enormous love. her ease, and comfort level with this work was so inspiring. before the class i was so nervous in approaching this work "right" i was anything but comfortable. jennifer's enthusiasm with all these teachings thoroughly changed that. what i appreciated above all else was how she taught the interconnectedness and the wholeness inherent in the teachings. she reminded me, though she might not even have known it, the beauty of being a student, …thank you jennifer.
If you are truly being called to this work, you will never be sent away for lack of funds.

Q: How to deploy a Koa based TypeScript project into both AWS Lambda and Azure Cloud Function? I got a web application which developed using Koa.JS. I want to deploy to both Azure Cloud Function and AWS Lambda. so I don't need to maintenance the server stuffs and also I don't locked in with the cloud vendor.
Any framework can support this kind of requirements?
This is the web application I got.
index.ts
const Koa = require('koa');
const app = new Koa();

app.use(async ctx => {
    ctx.body = 'Hello World';
});

app.listen(3000);

A:
Any framework can support this kind of requirements?

Express (the older Koa) is more widely supported

*

*https://github.com/awslabs/aws-serverless-express

*https://github.com/yvele/azure-function-express

Cloud vendors have various associated services (e.g. hosted databases) that differ significantly. You are going to struggle to get complete cloud redundancy. You will be best served using the internal redundancy options in the cloud provider you choose.

A: Seems the typescript support is still in process, but here is a package that does what you're seeking: https://www.npmjs.com/package/aws-serverless-koa

A: This is a bit late, but for anyone still looking for something that fits these requirements, Curveball is a framework that fits the criteria well. I haven't used it but it definitely seems like something that's worth checking out!
Edit: For anyone interested they also have support for Bun and Node.

For years there has been a massive fight over the effects video games can have over the individual. Many researchers claim that video games can show significant benefits to a person's mental health, either through catharsis, or by teaching co-operative skills. Other researchers claim that this isn't the case, and that there are extreme mental and physical health issues that can come from an over-exposure to games. One such researcher is Dr. Andrew Feldstein, and his ten-year study might finally put this argument to rest.
In this study, the effects video games had on individuals were examined from multiple levels to support the hypothesis that an over-exposure to video games might lead to significant health issues. At the age of ten, participants were chosen based on the amount of video games that were played on a regular basis. Participants that showed a significant amount of play were placed into the hypothesis group (aka the gaming group), while participants that showed a lack of exposure to video games were placed into a control group, or non-gaming group.
The amount of participants was fairly robust. In each group there were roughly 500 children participating. In terms of gender there was a fairly even split for those in the non-gaming group, while there were only 200 female participants in the gaming group. Racial demographics for the gaming group were fairly noteworthy as only 20% of the participants were either of African American or Latino descent. Further testing is needed to determine whether or not this is relevant.
These two groups were given extensive examinations to determine their levels of mental and physical health. These examinations ranged from observing oxygen levels, to depression scale analysis, to problem solving tests. In the gaming group, the amount of video games the participants played was recorded, and over several years any participant that was no longer playing video games was removed from the study. These results were recorded and participants were asked to come back for further testing every year.
After ten years of study, the final results for these participants have finally come in, and the results are quite shocking. 20% of participants in the gaming group showed increased signs of depression and anxiety about the world. 15% of the gaming participants failed to pass Milberg's Interpersonal Communications Examination (M.I.C.E.) which suggests that they might be at an increased risk of being secluded and ostracized. 45% of participants showed an increase in violent aggression.
Participants were also shown to have an increased hostility towards females playing video games. In one of the tests, participants were asked to play a first person shooter with a group of 3 others. 2 were other participants, while the 3rd was an actor. When the actor was male, most of the participants would display aggressive or rude remarks, however when the actor was a female, many of the aggressive or rude remarks were of a sexist and bigoted nature. Out of the entire group of gamers, only 10% of participants did not display these tendencies.
The results of the physical examination were even more disturbing and should cause many of those in the gaming sphere to seriously reconsider their favorite hobby. Out of the 500 participants that had shown a tendency for playing video games, over 75% showed increased heart palpitations. This is often a concern for those with a history of heart disease, as heart palpitations are one of the biggest warning signs of a heart attack.
Another cause for concern is that many of the participants showed a significant increase in lethargy. In a running examination, roughly 65% of gaming participants ran significantly slower than their non-gaming counterparts, and on endurance tests quit far earlier than their non-gaming counterparts. Dr. Feldstein asserts that this is due to the participants' overall lack of energy and enthusiasm. It was also determined that gaming participants walked far fewer steps than non-gaming participants on a day to day basis. While most non-gamers walk an average of 7000 steps a day, 35% of participants walked just 3750 steps a day. This can also increase the likelihood of heart-attack and other health issues.
Perhaps due to this fact and a poor diet, gaming participants also showed an increase in weight, often between 10- to 50 pounds greater than their non-gaming counterparts. When asked what their diets mainly consisted of, many non-gamers would claim a home-cooked meal and coffee from Starbucks, while gamers showed a preference for chips, soft drinks, and fast food. While it would be important to know if this was due to a lower financial status, or due to laziness, one thing is certain–marketing these products to the gaming community has worked fantastically.
From a scientific standpoint this study has a few flaws, but overall, due to the extreme length of the study and the fairly large amount of participants, it seems to check out. Most gamers, according to Dr. Feldstein, have problematic anger issues focused towards women and minorities. As someone enthusiastic about gaming, the results make me sick, and it's forced me to take another look at myself. While I know that I'm not like that, and I would never insult a woman while playing a multiplayer game, I can't help but be reminded of how disgusting gamers can be.
An increase in female main characters, to make women feel much more relaxed and comfortable.
A vocal trigger on certain bigoted, anti-Semitic, anti-migrant, misogynistic words that would lead the player to have their chat privileges removed.
An increase in developers speaking out against the men's rights activists that plague their communities.
A decrease in sexualized female characters.
Dr. Feldstein argues that if these things were to occur, many of the mental health issues discovered would slowly dissolve, making the video game community a whole lot healthier in general.

Q: C++ Drawing directly to the screen (like an overlay) Many laptops nowadays have FN hot keys to change volume, brightness, etc. and usually display a visual cue that is rendered on the screen completely above the operating system. For new Windows 8/8.1 systems this visual even appears outside of the desktop in the metro side. They cannot be drawing inside of a borderless window otherwise it wouldn't show up over the metro interface.
I have tried researching whether DirectX can draw directly to the screen but it doesn't appear it can. I don't even know if I should look into OpenGL... ?
I had some success using GDI; specifically the GetDC function with the parameter NULL to grab the screen device.
#include <Windows.h>

int main() {
    const HDC dc = GetDC(NULL);
    while (1) {
        Rectangle(dc, 100, 100, 500, 500);
    }
}

However, this requires re-rendering everything repeatedly because my region of the screen can be overwritten by other windows changing in the background. And even with it re-rendering in a loop, there is massive screen flicker.
How do the OEM manufacturers of these laptops achieve this?
Thanks.

A: It looks like these are borderless windows.
For example, have a look at the task switcher window:

If you want a window on top of Metro, you need it to declare accessibility.

Circularity Assessment Score
The Circular Triangle
Contacts&Newsletter
When is a firm deemed circular?
In order to evaluate the relationship between the circular transformation of a business model and the value creation in a firm, we have to understand the nature of the circular transformation and its impact on the economic value creation.
We can assess the increase of the economic value with the improvement of the firms' profitability (multiple measures), competitiveness, level of internationalisation and the total factor productivity. However, to evaluate the degree of circularity, we the apply Circularity assessment model.
Unlike the economy as a whole, for a firm to be considered circular, that is, to practice a circular business model, it does not need to maximise its capability to recover and regenerate resources deployed within its own value-creating processes. Circularity as a firm's strategic orientation, exercised through the functioning of an organisation according to circular business models, is manifested by a set of capabilities to contribute to the circular economy.
That means we have to establish a practical, yet universally representative measurement of the ability to closing, narrowing or slowing the loops. Such ability is manifested by a consistent set of competencies, relations, organisational and management practices, aiming at such a desired effect.
On one hand, these competencies and practices can be consistently evaluated across the firm's value chain in a degree of their full exploitable potential (circular business model potential). On the other hand, their actual level depends on the managerial abilities and overall organisational practices to seize the business model potential (commitment). Here is why the Circularity assessment model figures as a useful measurement construct (or a tool) of the firm's circularity, considered its composite characteristic, represented by a score, which is a result of this measurement, focused on the evaluation of a firm's business model.
Here we invite you to fill in a Quick Circularity Assessment and obtain your Quick Circularity Assessment Score (QuCAS), which serves as the first indication of a firm's degree of circularity.

Stunning Celebrity Condos to Inspire Your Home Improvement Project
Image Found pixabay.com
Celebrities are renowned for being more than happy to present their luxury homes in all their glory in glossy magazines. These high-end houses or apartments are often the envy of 99% of the world, and are usually well over the budget normal people can afford. Although, that doesn't mean that we cannot take inspiration from these luxury abodes.
However, renovating or redesigning a condo is a little difficult compared to the vast space that a house affords people. And it also plays a huge role in the whole decision-making process.
While celebrities may be known for their extravagant mansions, there are some who live modestly in condominiums with contemporary and pleasant, down-to-earth interior design. So with that in mind, we thought we'd bring you some celebrities that have slightly different homes.
While she might be living with Ashton Kutcher now, Mila Kunis once live in a condo in West Hollywood. She stays in a separate unit, but it is located in the same building as her parents. Recently, she went viral because of her Mother's Day gift. Mila Kunis renovated her parents' condo as a thank you to her mother.
The theme of the renovation was 'brightness and openness,' where she sat down with an interior designer to buy entirely new furniture and take down a wall to open up the kitchen. In fact, Kunis and her 'That 70 Show' co-star and now-husband Ashton Kutcher were very hands-on during the renovation from picking the furniture to putting in it in the condo. She even took down the wall in the kitchen with a mallet, which she believes isolates her mother from family conversations. After six weeks, Kunis parents were able to see their new condo that shows a brighter, spacious, and more conducive living environment for their family.

A popular chef with countless notable travel documentaries, Anthony Bourdain purchased his condo in 2014. Situated in East 94th Street in NYC, this two-unit combo condo comes with an unconventional laid out floor plan. Aesthetic-wise, it's very simplistic, which is rare for celebrity homes. It's exactly the type of home that you want to go to after work and just relax. Boudain has used an earthy color tone, utilizing whites, browns, and a little red to paint the walls. The flooring also uses a classic wood finish that matches the wooden front door. There are plenty of windows that allow natural lighting to enter the unit. Overall, it seems Anthony Bourdain loves the minimalistic look as he kept the furniture to a minimal with plenty of space to walk around.

Known as one of the greatest guitarists of all-time, '60s rock god Jimi Hendrix still has a stunning flat in London that is far from your average apartment. The music icon may have had a short life, but his success has inspired many leading musicians today. In fact, his influence has transcended music, movies, and even video games, as his popularity doesn't look like a warning. Just recently the famous rock guitarist was brought to life through a self-titled online Jimi Hendrix slot which has proved to be one of the most played on the UK-based gaming platform Slingo, proving that the Rock n' Roll Hall of Famer still has a huge fanbase. So it's not surprising that people want to see where Hendrix lived and to a certain extent model their condos after his.
After over 45 years, Jimi Hendrix's flat has been renovated and turned into a museum showcasing his works. It displays everything as it was left after his untimely passing, from his living room where he once welcomed his celebrity guests to the smallest details like the scallop shell ashtray on the bedside table. Located at 23 Brook Street, Hendrix took a keen interest in the interiors, where he bought his own fabrics and displayed his album covers on the wall. His interior "would have been regarded as way out in the country in the 60s," as explained by his former girlfriend Kathy Etchingham, but it was ideal and suited them.

Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, who rose from Director of Strategy to CEO of Lego in less than three years, does not shy away from a challenge. The legendary toy company was looking at ten years of sluggish sales and underwhelming product launches, and analysts were predicting that old-fashioned construction toys would never appeal to a new generation raised on iPads, YouTube and videogames.
Today, Lego is very much back in the game. In 2010 the company topped $1 billion in U.S. sales for the first time. 2012 was reported to be their biggest year yet in terms of revenue. In January 2014 'The Lego Movie' pulled in $69 million in its opening weekend, ultimately grossing over $460 million worldwide. This fall Lego opened a New York City flagship store at 200 Fifth Avenue, boosting their visibility and solidifying their commitment to win young hearts and minds. If the crowds at this store are any indication, Lego had decisively quieted all doubters.
Knudstorp considers this a classic turn-around story in which tight fiscal control and painful restructuring accomplished the seemingly impossible. It is the type of work he trained for while leading McKinsey's Paris office; but when asked to elaborate on what differentiates his approach to leadership Knudstorp emphasizes the second phase of Lego's recovery—a period of discovering the power of paradoxical thinking.
The immediate goal of these conversations was to get everyone on the management team and in the broader organization to be very clear on why Lego existed—and had survived for so long. The long-term goal was achieving growth by reorienting his executive team away from a focus on growth. Knudstorp believed growth would happen naturally if the company leadership stuck to its core paradoxical principle: that the best play involves learning, that creativity requires structure, and that it is only rational to take emotions into account. One leads both above and below the line.
Just as there is no one right way to build a Lego set, Knudstorp decided to take an approach that was less regimented than some of his predecessors. He would evaluate ideas from many angles to make the best decisions.
Knudstorp applies his paradoxical mindset to internal management also. One of his favorite mantras, "Take charge and let go," epitomizes this approach. After the company's manage-for-profit period, he released the reins of power, and flattened the organization by expanding Lego's leadership team from six people to twenty-two.
For the design team, the big takeaway was that Lego sets (which some felt had become "too easy" to assemble) should always contain some challenge. To Lego leadership, the story illustrated another useful paradox: instant gratification isn't always gratifying. We often prefer to be stretched beyond our comfort zones—if in doing so we can demonstrate mastery.
Knudstorp draws on this insight to arrive at a sustainable balance between forging a strategic vision and letting his team lead execution.
Fitting, perhaps, that the Lego name comes from the Danish words for "play well." For Knudstorp, it is both a higher calling and sound bottom-line strategy.

Founded 2001, Ailola Madrid offers Spanish courses by University-educated teachers in a traditional district: Madrid's Central Almond.
Hello, everyone! If you are reading my review now, you are obviously thinking about your further education. It is a ticklish question and an important choice. As for me, several months ago I made up my mind and chose a Spanish school in Madrid. Lucky I am! Ailola Madrid School justified my hopes to the full extent. The school I attended for 2 weeks gave me a great opportunity to travel, to learn a foreign language of this country and different academic disciplines. With a wonderful team of talented teachers I could not only study, but I also knew many interesting facts about the Spanish culture and its people. Many remarkable people who I made friends with are true beyond question. My new good friends are from all over the world. We share many topics and interests and fortunately we have much in common. It's a pleasure to communicate with people of different nationalities in the same language when you learn Spanish together and you are on one level with them. I got unforgettable impressions when got acquainted with Madrid myself. The capital and one of the largest cities of Spain is worth visiting. It's rarely warm in autumn in Russia, so Madrid made me feel happy and comfortable during my study there. What is more, I developed my knowledge of Spanish greatly and now I feel easy talking to my foreign colleagues. Ailola Madrid School, thank you a million for my self-reliance and great success in my career and work!
I visited Ailola Madrid in July this year for 2 weeks. I stayed in a shared flat with two other girls (one from the US and one from South Korea). I have never been to Madrid before and it's a great place.
The school was excellent, too. It is not directly in the city center but just a few subway stations away. At the end it was perfect because in July Madrid bursts of tourists and it was great to be in an area where you heard mostly Spanish and could use it when buying something.
I had classes in the morning. My teachers have been very good and "funny". We have been just 6 students in the class which was perfect to advance with my Spanish.
In the afternoon the school offered activities like Salsa classes, visits to restaurants and tapas bars, etc. which I joined several times. Sometimes we (my companions in the apartment) did things on our own like traveling one weekend to Toledo.
All in all I can recommend the school and team. If I travel again to Spain, I would book again with Ailola Madrid but taking also some private lessons to practice more speaking.
iAgora provides student reviews and information about Ailola Madrid Spanish School and other language schools. Whether you want to learn Spanish, English, Chinese, French or other languages, we help you find language courses in many countries that will help you globalise your CV.
