Sustainability is worth every penny
The future of the laundry industry is about sustainability and robots. The industry's largest players focus increasingly on how to improve their processes; both to make sure that not more laundry is washed than necessary, and to use as little staff as possible.
"Besides the obvious fact that we can save a number of employees that do hard work, there is the environmental component. The textiles are significantly more durable when we reduce the number of error washes. The production of cotton has a large economic impact, therefore it is essential that we can use the clothes until they are worn out instead of replacing 80 kg because of an overlooked pen in a pocket," says Ove Belsvik, director of Norway's dominant laundry player, Nor Tekstil.
To reduce the wastage, Nor Tekstil has invested in an X-ray machine from the Danish company Inwatec. After a successful test period, Nor Tekstil made the decision to further invest in the technology.
"Inwatecs X-ray machine solves a problem that the big companies of the laundry industry can't handle on their own, and this problem is that you cannot avoid that people make mistakes. A large part of savings of the X-ray machines stems from the fact that we don't have to buy new fabrics to the same extent as we had to do before. On our machine in Drammen, which has been running for six months now, the system has been working smoothly, and that's why we are buying the second machine now," says Ove Belsvik.
Ove Belsviks observations are supported by his German colleague Florian Hünke von Podewils from CWS Boco. At his company, it has been noted that qualified staff is relatively hard to find. Moreover, these employees are expensive and, lastly, there is always the challenge that people over time cannot avoid making mistakes in sorting when the speed increases and the work is conducted in multiple shifts.
"The problem with the small garment lines emerges in the sorting, where a lot of the information is necessarily stored in the brains of those people that sort the clothes. It may be that there are 10 different blue T-shirts, but maybe there are five different kinds of material, because the shirts stem from different customers, and so it is important that the staff is trained to sort in the right way," says Florian Hünke von Podewils, who contacted Inwatec for this reason; to develop a machine that both scans and sorts the laundry.
Less laundry – higher revenue
At Nor Tekstil, Ove Belsviks is easily reminded of the extent of possible errors that can appear at a laundry, and if he should be in doubt, he can get tangible proof of the value of the sorting system every time he is in Drammen.
"We can see in the boxes under the machine that the detection rate of the X-ray machine is high and although, of course, some things still slip through sometimes this happens on a completely different level than before. This certainty makes a big financial difference for us because when a washing is being destroyed by a pen or something, it's not just the 70-80 kg of clothes that have to be replaced. It also costs a lot of money in the administration, labeling and so on," states Ove Belsvik.
In Germany, CWS Boco also expects a quick return on investment:
"With the sorting machine you get a relatively easy integrable product. The X-ray and sorting machines serve for quality assurance in the processes, therefore the system is foolproof. The machines are not over engineered, they do not use too much floor space, and they are not particularly expensive to run. There are many good value creating reasons to invest in the X-ray sorting," states Florian Hünke von Podewils.

Strategic Networking with China The Sino-International company meetings at Marché du Film
May 13, 2019 chiefeditor Film Festivals Scan 0
After a thrilling year of ups and downs for film professionals in China, world's largest film market is still hard to be predictable. China's film industry has been going through a rough time and the decreasing number of cinema visitors is seen as an indicator of the current crisis. However, the total box office number of this past Chinese New year season reached a record high of 5.8 billion RMB (which, on the other hand, was also caused by the increased ticket price). In 2018, the tremendous growth of the past years has slowed down for various reasons: enforced state control and tightened censorship, increasing prosecution of tax evasion, rising prices of production and staff costs in the film industry etc. It is an on-going process of economic stabilization and turnarounds of trends, while a growing middle class demands more sophisticated and high-quality content. As the current situation has become more and more complex, foreigners still lack substantial "behind-the-scenes"-knowledge and personal connections.
Since its creation 5 years ago, the Sino-European Producers' Association "Bridging the Dragon" has set itself the task to encourage and facilitate the cooperation between the two film markets. As official partner of the Marché du Film in Cannes, the initiative believes in the importance of promoting knowledge and personal relationships. Producing suitable content is not only a result of a financial investment but it requires experience, mutual trust and often exchange of creative ideas. With this in mind, "Bridging the Dragon" organizes a large number of different events that go from public talks, regularly discussing the development and challenges related to the Chinese market, matchmaking get-togethers, an immersive yearly Sino-European Project lab and custom-made consultancy service for its members.
This year for the fourth time "Bridging the Dragon" in partnership with the Marché du Film will set up the so-called Sino-International Company Meetings which will be held in the afternoon on Sunday, May 19. Approximately 25 selected producers from all over the world will get the chance to meet their Chinese counterparts in order to build personal relationships and open the chance of future collaboration.
The association acknowledged a further increase in the number of applications, this time exceeding 200, and the growing quality of the companies. It shows that working with China is still an important goal for more and more players that are though aware of the long-term process and the demand of strong commitment and time-consuming efforts. Events like this are thus seen as an important step of introduction or follow up.
The selected participants present a rich array of producers recognized for their artistic or commercial successes and coming from the most diverse backgrounds. Among them are companies such as American Roadside Attractions, responsible for the release of commercial arthouse hits like "Manchester by the Sea", Norwegian 4 1/2 Films who is currently producing Roy Andersson's new movie "About Endlessness", Anagram Sweden, one of Scandinavia's leading companies, Icelandic studio Pegasus Pictures who recently co-produced with China the TV series "Legend of Kunlun", Austrian production arm of Redbull Terra Mater Factual Studios, Spanish quality film house A Contracorriente Films as well as the leading UK studio Cinestaan with its recent success of the last Cannes-winner "Cold War".
The same diversity is reflected in the selection of the Chinese companies that include independent production houses like Midnight Blur, trying to reach out to the international market, animation studios such as Versatile and Yi Animation filling the gap of the growing family entertainment market, but also bigger studios such as Dadi and Bona which by now see Bridging the Dragon as a useful exploration platform.
The Cannes event will have its kick-off on Saturday, May 18 with a Networking Party on the Scandinavian Terrace hosted by the Norwegian Film Institute, one of the international supporters of the association.
One thing is for sure: regardless of the challenges and the bumps, the interaction between the local Chinese industry and the rest of the world will be a process that will only increase in time with the exchange of talents, ideas and expertise. Recent trends like the interest in remakes, that follow big successes like the remake of Italian blockbuster Perfect Strangers (which achieved more than 80M Euros box office), the more and more diversified audience, that welcomes foreign indies like The Invisible Guest or Shoplifters, as well as the country's small but growing National Alliance of Art-house Cinemas, open new doors for collaborations with foreign companies and partners. We all hope this will be the year that will show the success of some of the official co-productions that are in the pipeline. Meanwhile Bridging the Dragon will continue to further encourage the film business between China and the world to get closer to each other.

The Swan Maiden
Watson, Jules
In this lush, romantic retelling of one of the most enduring Irish legends, acclaimed Celtic historical author Jules Watson reignites the tale of Deirdre--the Irish Helen of Troy--in a story that is at once magical, beautiful, and tragic.
She was born with a blessing and a curse: that she would grow into a woman of extraordinary beauty--and bring ruin to the kingdom of Ulster and its ruler, the wily Conor. Ignoring the pleadings of his druid to expel the infant, King Conor secrets the girl child with a poor couple in his province, where no man can covet her. There, under the tutelage of a shamaness, Deirdre comes of age in nature and magic.... And in the season of her awakening, the king is inexorably drawn to her impossible beauty.
But for Deirdre, her fate as a man's possession is worse than death. And soon the green-eyed girl, at home in waterfall and woods, finds herself at the side of three rebellious young warriors. Among them is the handsome Naisi. His heart charged with bitterness toward the aging king, and growing in love for the defiant girl, Naisi will lead Deirdre far from Ulster--and into a war of wits, swords, and spirit that will take a lifetime to wage.
Brimming with life and its lusts, here is a soaring tale of enchantment and eternal passions--and of a woman who became legend.

The Securities and Exchange Commission said yesterday that Leslye Schaefer, a senior vice president at the Scholastic Corporation, and her brother Allan Schaefer, a Beneficial Capital Management analyst, had agreed to settle charges of trading on insider information without admitting wrongdoing. Last Friday, the commission accused Ms. Schaefer of leaking word to her brother in February 1997 that Scholastic was about to announce disappointing earnings.

Forget Drones, Amazon's Cargo Planes Will Deliver Holiday Gifts
By Henry T. Casey 05 August 2016
Amazon's sending its own fleet of Boeing 767-300 cargo planes into flight, giving it more complete control over shipping and delivery.
We've all probably been hit by delays UPS or FedEx shipments, so Amazon is adding a new member to its fleet in order to take complete control of the delivery process. That's one way to explain a Prime Air-branded cargo plane, a Boeing 767-300 aircraft Amazon announced today, which will join its current fleet that features 11 similar behemoths.
Image: Amazon / Business Wire
Amazon One, the first of its Prime Air planes, will make its public debut today (August 5), in a flyover demonstration for attendees of the Seafair Air Show, which is taking place in the company's home city of Seattle. Another 30 Prime Air planes will join the Amazon armada over time, and it's expected that the planes will reduce internal costs for the company and reduce reliance on third-party shippers. Prime Air planes will be operated by Amazon's air cargo providers Atlas Air and ATSG.
MORE: What Is Amazon Prime Now?
You can expect to see Prime Air cargo planes provide an immediate boost upgrade to Amazon's delivery process, unlike than the company's delivery drone program that was announced in 2013, and still hasn't reached fruition. The short-range UAV program is still stuck in procedural limbo, as Amazon works towards approval from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The preview video released by Amazon doesn't give much details about any upside to the Prime Air vessel over others, instead opting to talk about the painstakingly hard work taken to plot out where the different color swooshes and Amazon's "smile" arrow logo would sit.
While we're not surprised that Amazon obsessed over how to brand the plane's shell, what really matters are improvements to the delivery times and tracking methods. Who wouldn't want to see a real-time moving blip on a map that shows the precise location of their socks and headphones?

David Brent: Life on the Road (15) | Close-Up Film Review
August 19, 2016 cfwebmaster	Ben Bailey Smith, David Brent: Life on the Road, Ricky Gervais
Picking up on Brent twelve years after "The Office", he is now a travelling salesman with a cleaning and ladies' personal hygiene products company – so no longer the boss.

A New Malware Working On Windows, Linux, and MacOS Targets Your Cryptocurrency: Report
A cybersecurity company has found a new type of malware built from scratch to work on Windows, Linux, and macOS to steal cryptocurrencies.
A recent report informed of a new type of malicious operation that has been active for over a year and has targeted thousands of cryptocurrency users. Dubbed ElectroRAT, it's written from scratch to work on various operating systems and promoted via dedicated forums and marketing campaigns.
A New Threat For Crypto Users
The cybersecurity company Intezer issued a report describing the latest threat for cryptocurrency users. It reads that the firm discovered the operation in December 2020, but it has been active for at least a year.
The paper described it as a composition of a "full-fledged marketing campaign, custom cryptocurrency-related applications, and a new Remote Access Tool (RAT) written from scratch."
The company admitted that while it's common for such information stealers to try to collect private keys to access victims' wallets, ElectroRAT had a few fundamental differences. The latest malicious operation was reportedly built from scratch in a way to target multiple operating systems at once. Namely, those are Windows, Linux, and macOS.
The malicious operation was typically promoted as a very successful trading instrument or a tool for multiple exchange transactions on one interface.
How Does It Work And Number Of Victims
The report highlighted that the attackers behind the malicious threat used several well-known blockchain and cryptocurrency forums to promote their operation, including bitcointalk and SteemCoinPan.
The perpetrators had set up fake user accounts and published multiple false success stories, tempting readers to browse the applications' web page. Victims were able to download the app from an external page without realizing that it's malware.
Furthermore, the attackers created Twitter and Telegram accounts for a "DaoPoker" application and paid a cryptocurrency medial influencer for advertisement.
If the victim indeed falls for the malicious attack and installs the app on his device, the perpetrators receive access to his personal information, accounts, and private keys for crypto wallets. Once they have this data, they could execute transfers from hot wallets.
Ultimately, the cybersecurity company estimated that the number of victims that downloaded the malware is about 6,500.
CryptoPotato recently reported about another similar malicious project that worked as a Google Chrome extension. However, it was downloaded over 30 million times, and multiple victims reported losing all their BTC or other digital asset holdings.

Iranian authorities have confiscated 45,000 bitcoin mining rigs that used subsidized electricity to mine the cryptocurrency. This is yet another considerable seizure in the Middle East country, which has experienced frequent blackouts that the government blamed on BTC mining.
45,000 BTC Mining Machines Confiscated In Iran
Local media outlets reported that the police had seized about 45,000 rigs that consumed 95 megawatts per hour (MWh) of electricity at lower prices.
Head of the country's state-run electricity company, Mohammad Hassan Motavalizadeh, said that the perpetrators also modified street lighting systems in Tehran and other cities.
"The total reduced consumption corresponds to the (electricity) usage for a city with a population of over half a million." – he added.
The report outlined that the country has faced numerous similar situations in the past several months. Earlier this January, the Energy Ministry halted the supply of electricity to a giant farm in the southeastern region after a video circulating social media channels showed tens of thousands of BTC mining rigs situated under the same roof.
It's worth noting that Iran became one of the first countries to legalize cryptocurrency mining in 2019. However, all miners had until August 2020 to register with the authorities, otherwise risk operating outside the country legislation. This is why Iran has initiated a nation-wide crackdown on various farms that failed to register within the timeframe.
Mining Blamed For Blackouts
The Middle Eastern country has experienced several issues lately that the government blamed on bitcoin. Apart from the aforementioned frequent blackouts, some of the nation's largest cities have seen intense air pollution in recent weeks.
However, a popular crypto analyst Ziya Sadr told the Washington Post that bitcoin mining takes a low percentage of the overall electricity capacity and shouldn't receive the blame.
"The miners have nothing to do with the blackouts. It is a known fact that the mismanagement and the very terrible situation of the electricity grid in Iran and the outdated equipment of power plants in Iran can't support the grid."
Separately, the absence of natural gas due to intense consumption to heat private homes has driven plants to use lower quality fuels that have polluted several cities.

Allan Flynn, a Bitcoin trader in Australia, has filed a complaint against two commercial banks ANZ and Westpac, accusing both of systematic discrimination. According to the Australian Financial Review report, Flynn is seeking compensation to the tune of 250,000 Australian dollars (about $192,000). According to Flynn, he has been the victim of discriminatory practices, with banks allegedly continuing to shut down his accounts. Flynn lamented that no fewer than 20 banks closed accounts operated by his exchange in the last three years.
The crypto exchange service is registered with AUSTRAC.
The reported account closures come despite Flynn's crypto exchange service being registered with the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre, or AUSTRAC. Flynn's platform reportedly services over 450 customers. Earlier last year, the crypto exchange operator lodged a complaint with the Australian Financial Complaints Authority. However, AFCA ruled that Westpac — one of the banks involved in the matter — acted per its laid down terms and conditions. At the time, Westpac offered Flynn 250 Australian dollars as restitution for the sudden account closure, which the complainant says he is yet to receive.
Banks denying services to crypto exchanges is not restricted to Australia.
Crypto exchanges accusing banks of discriminatory practices are not restricted to Australia alone. Earlier last year, India's Supreme Court reversed the central bank's ban against banks servicing crypto businesses. However, reports still emerged of "crypto-phobic" behavior among Indian banks even after the Supreme Court's decision to overturn RBI's blanket ban on cryptocurrencies. A similar situation also exists across Latin America, where commercial banks continue to intensify account closures targeted at crypto exchanges. In Brazil, two major platforms were also forced to shut down their operations following stringent tax compliance policies.

Pantera Capital founder and CEO Dan Morehead is doubling down on his bullish 2021 Bitcoin prediction, asserting that the leading crypto asset is still right on track to hit $115,000 by August 2021.
In Pantera's latest Blockchain Letter, Morehead says that Bitcoin's price movements, although delayed by a week, are playing out exactly as forecast based on the stock-to-flow projection published last year.
"Bitcoin is exactly on track with the forecast we made in our April letter. Our analysis was based on comparing the reduction in the supply/flow of bitcoin relative to the outstanding stock – at the time of each halving – and the subsequent impact on price."
According to the projections set by Pantera, Bitcoin's price lagged by as much as 15 weeks in July 2020. In December, Bitcoin began to catch up with Pantera's projections and by mid-January, the leading cryptocurrency hit the ninth milestone in Pantera's forecast after climbing to $38,000.
For the next date, February 15th, 2021, Pantera predicts Bitcoin will trade at $45,268.
Pantera makes its projections based on the Bitcoin halving cycle. Historically, Morehead says Bitcoin prices have surged after each halving, which happens every four years.
After the first halving in 2012, Bitcoin's supply dwindled by a little over 15% in a span of 446 days as block rewards were halved from 50 to 25 BTC. Subsequently, Bitcoin witnessed a rally of 9,212%.
Following the 2016 halving, Bitcoin rallied by 2,910%.
If Bitcoin follows Pantera's predicted trajectory, Morehead expects BTC to hit its peak in August 2021 with a price of $115,212, rising over 1,091% after the May 2020 halving.
"I'm not saying I'd bet our life savings that's definitely going to happen, but I think it's possible, and we're right on pace to do that."

Chicago White Sox: It is time to finish the 2022 season strong
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - SEPTEMBER 02: Jose Abreu #79 of the Chicago White Sox is congratulated by teammates after his bases loaded fielder's choice during the ninth inning of a game against the Minnesota Twins at Guaranteed Rate Field on September 02, 2022 in Chicago, Illinois. The White Sox defeated the Twins 4-3. (Photo by Nuccio DiNuzzo/Getty Images) /
The Chicago White Sox are hosting the Minnesota Twins this week. It is the final series of the 2022 Major League Baseball season. It was a year that did not go well for the White Sox as they came in with World Series aspirations. Instead, they were just very mediocre.
There are plenty of reasons that this happened but that is a problem for a different day. Right now, the players that are there should focus on finishing strong so they can be ready for what may come during the offseason. It is also a good chance to feel good about their game going into 2023.
Minnesota didn't come in with the exact same expectations as the White Sox but they believed they would compete for the postseason. They certainly did do that too as they were in first place of the American League Central for most of the season.
In typical Minnesota sports fashion, they blew that opportunity by falling apart in September. The White Sox weren't much better but getting one win in this series will lock them into second place and the Twins third.
The Chicago White Sox have a chance to finish their tough season strong.
Game one of this series on Monday will be Johnny Cueto's last start of what has been a great season for him. He came in with little expectations of him and he was arguably the second-best starter on the staff from the time he got there until the end.
It is unlikely that Cueto will be back in 2023 but that is something to think about after his final start. There is no doubt that finishing strong with this last game will go a long way in helping him get a contract for next year.
Cueto will face Bailey Ober of the Minnesota Twins who has also had a pretty nice season. His ERA is even smaller than Cueto's which says a lot about how good he's been when on the field.
At the All-Star break, it was assumed that this series would mean a whole lot more but it is what it is. Each team wants to finish strong so that the offseason doesn't look as bleak as it currently does with the very young and very cheap Cleveland Guardians running the show. We can only hope that the White Sox takes care of business.

On Thursday, in federal court in Fort Worth, some of the families of the 346 people killed in two plane crashes involving Boeing 737 Max jets will get a chance to speak out about the impact of the tragedy.
Among them is Michael Stumo, who lost his 24-year-old daughter Samya Stumo.
"She was charismatic. She was beautiful. She was very family oriented and very smart," Stumo said.
According to Stamo, Samuya taught himself to read and write at the age of three and was raising pigs on the family farm by the age of seven. When she was nine years old, she was driving a tractor. And when she was 14, Stumo's only daughter entered college.
Ultimately, Samya attended the University of Copenhagen School of Global Health before returning to the United States.
In March 2019, she headed to East Africa to set up a nonprofit clinic.
"She texted us that she had just arrived in Addis Ababa and was waiting for her flight to Nairobi. 'Speak now.'" And that's the last I heard from her. Stumo said.
Samya was one of 157 people killed when a Boeing 737 Max-8 plane crashed shortly after takeoff in Ethiopia, just months after a similar crash that killed 189 people in Indonesia.
Boeing subsequently obtained immunity from criminal prosecution in both cases as part of a plea bargain with the Department of Justice.
But with Boeing facing felony criminal charges Thursday in federal court in Fort Worth, Stumo and other families around the world argue that the agreement "clearly violated their rights as victims." wax.
According to former federal prosecutor Matthew Yarbrough, an attorney who was not involved in the case, the situation is almost unprecedented.
"This is unusual. It's rarely seen. Usually when you think about criminal charges, it's about individuals who are convicted and go to jail," Yarbrough said.
Boeing declined to comment on Wednesday. In November, it said it would oppose any efforts to reopen the agreement, calling it "unprecedented, unworkable and unfair." also mentioned.
The company's CEO, Dave Calhoun, spoke to CNBC today.
"My reaction to the bereaved family is always the same. It just breaks my heart. I think we can all imagine how hard and difficult it can be. Any hearing they want to express their opinion. is fine with me," said Calhoun. For the entire Boeing franchise, the company and the industry, it is a reminder of how important safety is to all of us and how important it is to stay ahead of it, and that's how we think. Not a topic I'm qualified to talk about. "

ASHLEY YOUNG has sounded a battle cry ahead of next season, by claiming Manchester United can bridge the gap to Chelsea.
The Blues won the title comfortably, finishing eight points ahead of nearest challengers Manchester City.
Although United endured a tricky first season under Louis van Gaal's regime, they still achieved their target of a top-four finish.
And Young believes the glory days can be restored to Old Trafford if the Red Devils show more consistency.
"I don't think we're far behind Chelsea at all," Young told the club's official website.
"Chelsea have won the title this season and they've had a fantastic season – they had every right to win a league with the start they had.
"But the players are not talking about Chelsea, we're talking about ourselves, the season we had and the season we're going to have next season as well.
"Firstly, next season brings back Champions League football, that's what the manager, players and staff wanted to bring back.
"It gives us the opportunity to build upon what we've shown this season, hopefully win titles and go and win cups, and we've said that next season, like I said before, we're not far off Chelsea this season, so we want to go out and bring a title back here."

The most extensive valley surrounds the Snake River, which flows through Hells Canyon, the deepest gorge in North America. Idaho was first occupied by the Native American Indians, the region is known for being a part of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and Lewis and Clark stopped through in 1805. Discovery of Gold brought an influx of settlers in 1860 and it became the Idaho territory in 1863 and was admitted to the Union as the 43rd State in the United States in 1890. During the 20th Century, Idaho developed its agriculture and industry by promoting its natural wilderness.
One of the reasons that a lot of people here love Idaho is the hunting. I, myself, am not a big hunter, but there are a few people here that I work with at the Group who love hunting. As we go into hunting season now, one of our realtors loves to go out and stay in the mountain. He was just telling us this the other day that he and his family have a spot up in the mountain where they go stay in the winter times in their tents, in their RVs, and by the campfires. They have food up there, and even talked about the notion in the past, that they have killed a deer, or two, hang it, and eat off the deer when they are there at the campsite. This is the extreme way of doing it, but also, if you are into that, you would love this idea and love the way it was described.
One part of Idaho seasons is that they can shift quite drastically. The Summer to Fall change is pretty drastic, leading into our famous winters that we are known for over the last 50 years, or so. I have so many memories, growing up in the small town of Firth here and the snow coming down in droves. There were times we would go out to play in the snow, where the drifts were over our chicken coup, and would sweep across our entire backyard. This way we would go out, have full hills to sled on, have places to build snow forts and have some of the greatest snow ball fights. We have video footage of us playing on drifts that were up to the height of the middle of our house. Over the past 10 years, there have been some pretty taming winters, with some snow here and there, cold, cold weather, etc. This last year, however, we had some feet of snow that my kids were finally able to play in. A couple feet of snow. Some fun times for the girls.
Another thing about Idaho, is the smaller towns are great for living. The family life is wonderful here in Idaho. It is very low key, and a part of it is that we feel as though we are about 10 years in the past. But in a good way. There is a way of living here that is so humble, so wonderful and gives you the small town feel that you are looking for. As you look for cities to be in here in Idaho, Idaho Falls has been nationally ranked for the best cities to live in, in the nation. There is a very low crime rate, there is a wonderful family feel, and it is still growing.
Do yourself a favor and come visit Idaho. Heck, come live here. There is still a lot of land. There are wonderful cities to live in here, great universities, and wonderful schools for your kids to go to. One of the great things is living here for your children. There are so many different areas to run wild, to be outside, riding motorbikes, bicycles, being on swing sets, and playing on trampolines. As I grew up in a small town, this was one of our many staples. We would do all we could to entertain ourselves, including horse back riding, riding bikes, and countless hours of basketball out on the concrete pad that dad put in, just to play ball on.
There are so many wonderful things about Idaho. The beauty, the mountains, the seasonal changes, the places to live, and so on. If there was one place in the Western side of the Americas that I would tell you to make your home, it would be Idaho.

The Elegance of Master Bathroom Designs – The master bathroom design is the bathroom that is usually put in the main bathroom. What is its difference with the ordinary bathroom? This bathroom type is designed with the bigger size of the other bathrooms in the home and it is usually used for the family leader of the home. Furthermore, there is no particular size for the bathroom, but it is approximately 6 m2 up to 9 m2. However, the size and the design of the bathroom depends on the bathroom owners' want themselves.
Before you design this bathroom, you must make the design of the bathroom that you want. You require the design to make the placement and the arrangement of your bathroom. Providing the design is going to make you easier and it is included the first step of the building process. Certainly, you are not going to spend your time when you build your bathroom.
The bathroom is one of the important place in the home and of course, it will be so much confusing if the bathroom is not provided inside. The bathroom interior design is started from rearraging the placement of the main bathroom properties such the placement of the bathtub, the sink, the shower, and the closet. Afterwards, the comfort concept of this bathroom type is shown by separating the dry area that consists of the sink and the bathtub and the wet area that consists of the shower and the closet.
The bathtub is the main element of the bathroom that is presented as the important point. It is better that the dry area is put near the door in order that the bathroom will appear clean and interesting. For example, if the bathtub is put in which you open the bathroom door, you will see the bathtub first. Meanwhile, the wet area of the bathroom is located behind the bathtub so that the wet area does not appear when you open the door.
The placement of the wet area behind the bathtub is going to make your master bathroom designs look interesting, beautiful, and clean.

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Slice the potatoes to about three-quarters of the way through at 1cm intervals. Brush with ½ tbsp of the olive oil, place on a baking tray and bake for 35-40 mins. Meanwhile, mix together the remaining oil, the chipotle, lime zest and juice.
Remove the potatoes from the oven and brush all over, and down into the slits, with the chipotle mixture. Return to the oven for another 15-20 mins or until cooked through. Scatter with the coriander leaves just before serving.
I really enjoyed this, but felt it needed longer in the oven.
These are so simple to make but taste delicious. Very hot, spicy and rich - we found that one per person is definitely enough.
This recipe, as easy as it was to prepare, did not work. The chipotle overpowered the flavor of the sweet potatoes, and yes, it was a bit hot, to be expected. When no one liked them at the pot luck I attended, I brought them home, added brown sugar, pineapple and butter, which blended with the smokey chipotle flavor, turned out fairly well. The olive oil in this recipe added nothing and I think butter made it much more flavorful.
Why cant I read what others say about a recipe?

Q: How to test parent method called from child component? I'm using enzyme and jest and I want to test that parent method is called when child props is called.
I have something like this
class Parent extends Component {

  method = () => {...}

  render() {

    <Child propMethod={method}/>
}
}

And in test I do something like this
let shallow;

function setup() {
    const props = {
        mockMethod: jest.fn()
    };

    const enzymeWrapper = shallow(<Parent {...props}/>);

    return {
        props,
        enzymeWrapper
    };
}
    beforeAll(() => {
        shallow = createShallow({ dive: true });
    });

describe('components', () => {
    describe('Child', () => {
        it('should call method', () => {
            const { enzymeWrapper, props } = setup()
            const component = enzymeWrapper.find(Child)
            component.prop('propMethod')();
            expect(props.mockMethod).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);

        })
    });
});

But I get
Expected number of calls: 1
Received number of calls: 0

Test structure is from Redux docs
here

A: Your mock method isn't making it to the child prop.  From the comments what you probably want to do is test that when the method is called, it has some meaningful side effect.  If it's ultimately dispatching a redux action, test that the action was dispatched when the child method is called.
You will have to do something like this anyways if you intend to give your present test any real constraint on the component behavior, so testing that directly is more straightforward and meaningful.

Each one is designed to help you in a different way and is perfect for when you are travelling and reveling in your own sense of wanderlust and place in the world.
The healing effects of the ocean are well understood throughout the many differing cultures that are spread across the planet. Find yourself a secluded place then begin one of the following flows.
Wanderlust is here to inspire a healthy lifestyle through mindful adventures. Together with adidas, this unique collaboration takes you on a path toward cultivating your best self. Explore the new collection designed for yoga, meditation and running.

Select pieces from the adidas X Wanderlust collection are constructed from Parley Ocean Plastic™. This material is upcycled from plastic waste intercepted at beaches and coastal communities before it reaches the ocean. The garments are materially and symbolically representative of adidas's commitment to cleaner oceans and safer seas as they push to preserve the natural habitats and animals of the waters that cover 71% of the Earth's surface. 91% of that water being found in the seas.
To stylistically and aesthetically demonstrate this process, the garments in the collection are designed with the ocean in mind.
Flow freely in fast-drying, multi-purpose pieces designed with the ocean in mind.
Henry David Thoreau, (born July 12, 1817, Concord, Massachusetts, U.S.—died May 6, 1862, Concord) was an American essayist, poet, and practical philosopher, renowned for having lived the doctrines of Transcendentalism as recorded in his masterwork, Walden, and for having been a vigorous advocate of civil liberties, as evidenced in the essay "Civil Disobedience" (1849).
First published in 1854, Walden details Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, near Concord, Massachusetts, USA.
He used this time to write, stay fit, grow vegetables, build a house, work the land in a self-sufficient way and concentrate on himself and his surroundings. The quote above details how he often liked to begin his days in order to set himself up for the rest of his waking hours. He would use these walks to think and concentrate on the natural world around him. This movement through the natural landscape became a way for him to become more mindful of his surroundings, and of himself. In a sense his entire project can be understood as a mindful adventure.
The following workouts are inspired by this idea, designed to make you move and concentrate on your surroundings. They each involve running so that you can complete them through parks, over beaches or on trails through forests. Take the time to warm up properly by walking for 10 – 20 minutes, concentrate on your breathing and enjoy the surrounding landscape before you start to run.
For quality. Set an easy pace and think about form, rhythm and breathing. You do not need to race anyone, approach this more with the mindset of developing a skill rather than setting a time.
So how can exercise improve your mindfulness?
Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment. Being aware of your body and thoughts is a vital skill to develop if you want to understand yourself in greater depth. It is also tremendously useful because it allows you to understand yourself during training and competition, when can you push harder and when should you hold back? Where are your real and perceived limits?
The adidas X Wanderlust collection is designed with flexibility and comfort in mind, so each garment moves to the shape and form of your body.
In the walking phase of each round, concentrate on bringing your heart rate back down to its resting rate after the sprints. Think about how each part of your body feels, and focus on maintaining a steady rate of breathing. The idea is to really listen to your body and how you respond to the different ways in which you move.
In the rounds where you are operating at 60% capacity, really focus on your running form and make sure to lean forward and use the natural momentum of your body. The concept is not to exhaust yourself, but to concentrate on the small details about how you move.
An important part of mindfulness is to develop the ability to be present in the moment. Wherever you are, be all there. Once you have completed any of the above movement flows, spend five minutes using this box breathing technique. This will calm your mind and thoughts, and help mentally reset you and your body for the rest of your day.
Use the graphic below as a guide and align your breathing with its rhythm. As the circle expands, breathe in deeply. Focus completely on breathing deep into your lungs. As the circle shrinks, exhale all the breath from your body.
As a rough rule, spend 4 seconds on each inhale and exhale. Now it's time for you to reconnect with yourself and your surroundings. Let the adventure take you anywhere.


Flower arranging is a favorite work for children in the Level 2 atrium.
Our Children's Formation program – the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd – started a new year September 25. Children arrived to find the space had been changed around. The youngest children in Level 1 are now in their own room (once occupied by the oldest children). Levels 2 and 3 are in the big room, separated by dividers, but with a pass-through between so that the older children might access some of the materials from Level 2.
This "porous-ness" is also an advantage for the adults who are with the children. We now have two catechists – one for Level 1 and one for Level 2 and 3. Laura Starr-Houghton is training for Level 2 and Laura Arvin is training for Level 3.
If anyone is interested in beginning training, please see either of these women to express an interest. And, as always, if you would like to join us in the atrium to see what the children are up to, please come and see!


I sat at the side of my soul - as it were - offering Christ's own glory to the Father, in praise and adoration.
Holy Angels, on high, surround our altar, gazing toward it, ready to adore Our Lord when He is made Present before us.
Like blades of light, the Holy Angels fill the air before us, They live in perpetual adoration of our Holy God.
The Holy Angels formed a guard of honour from the heights of the church - in silent adoration of Christ, at Exposition.
Christ loves to bring His friends refreshment and new courage through His Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament. Whoever adores Christ before the tabernacle or monstrance, or receives Holy Communion, can be sure that, standing very close to Christ, are His Holy Mother and all the Saints too.
This is pure worship: To be at the heart of the Three Divine Persons, content to gaze, to adore, and to offer one's heart and life and self.


Generally known as an "Impact Sprinkler", this is the classic design that sends a series of briefly interrupted jets of water over a wide area; the staggered pulsing action allows the water to be distributed all along the jet's arc, not only at the furthest extent of its reach. Solid Brass construction, with chromium steel springs and interrupter stud. Provides an infinitely variable arc from 20-360 degrees, with a maximum jet reach of approximately 40ft, depending on water pressure. Very rugged and transportable, and will save you hours of time setting and resetting hoses.
Just insert the 8" Brass spike with included quick connect into the ground anywhere you need coverage, and attach the hose. (The spike and quick connect are our own additions to the design, because of the incompatibility of German and American hose connectors.) The design is highly developed, very precise, and does its job exceptionally well. Get more than one to cover all areas simultaneously. Instructions are included for setup and adjustment.

Q: Can you set the property of a Python class equal to an empty class object? I have a player class and a weapon class. The weapon class has a reload method that checks the inventory property of the player. The player class has a weapon property that would hold the current weapon object, from which the reload method would be called. Since the player can change weapons, I would like to instantiate the player object without a weapon object, but have access to weapon object intellisense in development. Is this possible?
In short, I'd like to be able to see the methods of my weapon class from within my player class, without an instance being created.

A: Why not use a dummy weapon object that the player holds when they're not holding a weapon? It can be an invisible weapon and lets you access whatever you want in this context.
If it'll mess with the unarmed state, you can make the player use unarmed attack animations if that's needed.

A: You could make use of __dict__, to get all attributes of a class:
class Player:
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
        self.weapon = None

    def weaponsAvailable(self):
        print([w for w, _ in Weapon.__dict__.items() if not w.startswith('__')])

class Weapon:
    def gun(self):
        print('gun')

    def knife(self):
        print('knife')

p = Player('Player1')
p.weaponsAvailable()

Out:
['gun', 'knife']

The Regulator, my Regex testing tool, has been named by Regexlib.com as their "recommended tool for testing regular expressions" and has been put up there in the front page. They also put up a resource page for many other regex testing tools, books, articles and links. I'm totally flattered.
Regexlib.com is a website dedicated to collecting and sharing regular expressions to parse almost anything. Anyone can register and post their own regular expressions that they've found interesting and helpful. You can too.
The Regulator has tight integration with Regexlib.com's web service, which allows the user to search for regular expressions in regexlib.com's database from within the tool, and with a click import them and test them inside the program.
It also features a "publish" wizard which lets you post regular expressions onto regexlib.com directly from within The Regulator.Did I mention it's totally free?

Q: Tracking memory consumption of a template class I have a class for which I'd like an estimation of how much memory it's consuming:
template <typename T, typename U>
class MyTemplateClass
{
    size_t EstimateMemoryConsumption() const
    {
        // the memory consumption is a function of the size of the first template argument
        return f(sizeof(T));
    }
}

And this works fine. Recently I've been asked to support T == std::string.
The current implementation doesn't work because sizeof(std::string) doesn't reflect the memory consumption of an std::string (I need to call capacity() on the std::string). According to this, I cannot give a partial specialization for the member function (for T == std::string, and any U)
Is there a different way to achieve this?

A: You could make memory consumption a function of the template parameter itself.
template <typename T, typename U>
class MyTemplateClass
{
    size_t EstimateMemoryConsumption() const
    {
        return estimate<T>(my_data_member);
    }
};

template <typename T>
size_t estimate(const T&) noexcept { return sizeof(T); }

template <>
size_t estimate<std::string>(const std::string& x) noexcept
{
    return x.capacity();
}

A: Use traits to achieve specialization:
template <typename T>
class MyTemplateClassTraits
{
public:
    static size_t EstimateMemoryConsumption(T& member)
    {
        return 0; // implement...
    }
};

template <>
class MyTemplateClassTraits<std::string>
{
public:
    static size_t EstimateMemoryConsumption(std::string& member)
    {
        return 0;  // implement...
    }
};

Without changing your current API:
template <typename T, typename U>
class MyTemplateClass
{
    //...

    size_t EstimateMemoryConsumption() const
    {
        // the memory consumption is a function of the size of the first template argument
        return MyTemplateClassTraits<T>::EstimateMemoryConsumption(t_data_member);
    }

    //...
}

In the wake of Fouad Mourtada's conviction for impersonating Prince Moulay Rachid on facebook.com, Moroccan bloggers have voiced concern that his arrest sets a precedent for repressing bloggers who were formerly allowed to flourish. In contrast to the outpouring of sentiment on the Internet, Morocco's mainstream press has thus far displayed only limited attention to the case.
Moroccan security services arrested Fouad Mourtada, 26, an IT engineer from the southeastern town of Goulmima, on 6 February for creating a facebook.com profile in the name of King Mohammed VI's brother, Prince Moulay Rachid on 15 January. Mourtada's defenders argued that he clearly had no malicious intent since he used his home IP address instead of a cyber cafe and also argued that he did not expect his posting to be taken seriously since there are so many false celebrity profiles on facebook.com (French President Sarkozy has 41). Nevertheless, on 22 February, Mourtada was sentenced to three years in prison and a fine of 10,000 dirhams (approximately $1,350) (helpfouad.com). Beginning with prominent French-language blogger Larbi el Hilali on 7 February, Moroccan bloggers have charged that Mourtada's arrest and conviction portends a government crackdown on Internet free speech.
Writing on his blog, Larbi el Hilali alleged that a conviction would serve as "a great injustice and a monstrous legal precedent" (larbi.org, 19 February).
Professor Driss Bakhkhat announced his retirement from publishing his prominent French-language political and technological blog MoTIC because: "I see the very dangerous and serious turn that the Fouad Mourtada affair is taking … If creating a false facebook profile merits this treatment, the next one could be a blogger" (MoTIC.blogspot.com, 18 February).
On 9 February, Mourtada's family created a French- and English-language website, helpfouad.com, to publicize his case and press the government for clemency. Led by the family, both domestic and expatriate Moroccans are seeking to rally public and international support.
Bloggers are reportedly trying to organize a protest outside the Moroccan Embassy in Paris scheduled for 1 March, using both blogs and a new group on facebook.com (larbi.org, 25 February).
Twenty-six major Moroccan blogs participated in a 24-hour strike to show solidarity with Fouad Mourtada and his family on 19 February (helpfouad.com, 19 February).
Morocco's blogging community is reportedly the largest and most active in North Africa. In the past, the government had censored Internet sites but has not been known to arrest any Moroccan citizens for Internet activities.
The government had blocked YouTube in May and LiveJournal in June for showing material "considered insulting to Mohammed VI" and supporting the Polisario Front, respectively, but neither occasion resulted in arrests, with YouTube resurfacing after only six days (Alarabiya.com, 8 January).
In early January, bloggers celebrated their freedom at a conference in Morocco. According to one interviewed at the conference: "I have not yet heard of a blog being censored in Morocco, in which case the whole blogosphere would mobilize" (Alarabiya.com, 8 January).
In contrast to the intense reaction from the Moroccan blogging community, Morocco's mainstream press has thus far offered limited reporting and coverage of the case.
The independent Arabic-language daily Assabah alleged that Mourtada used the facebook.com profile to "pass himself off as the prince [and give] out a phone number to young women" (15 February).
The independent French-language daily Aujourd'hui le Maroc predicted a royal pardon: "The prince would never allow a young Moroccan to lose his freedom and future over an affair like this" (18 February).
The website of pan-Arab satellite television station Al-Arabiyah reported that Morocco has five times the number of blogs as Algeria, making it "the liveliest free speech zone in North Africa, with its Blogoma [blog aggregator site] hosting upwards of 30,000 sites" (Alarabiya.com, 8 January).

Q: What is the difference in the meaning between 'it will end soon" and "it will be ending soon"? Is there a difference in the meaning  between "it will end soon" and "it will be ending soon"?. I don't see one may be the second one indicates that it has been planned before.

My vacation will be ending soon.

A: You are correct. There is no difference in meaning, but the second is more likely to be used of a situation with a predictable end time.

Berry's is an independent, family-owned jewellers, based in Leeds since 1897, with particular expertise in fine watches and diamonds. As they stock the world's most exclusive brands – including Omega, Breitling, Patek Philippe, IWC, Cartier, Chanel, Fope and Bvlgari – they are a magnet for Chinese visitors. Through their partners at GB TaxFree, Capela China were approached to train store managers in China Welcome.
Berry's decided on a full day's training for all their store managers – from Leeds, Hull, York, Newcastle, Nottingham and Windsor – to take place in the Head Office in Leeds.
This small group round table course was highly interactive and tailored entirely around the needs of the jewellery retail business. Some of the shops are in cities with relatively few Chinese leisure visitors but all have regular dealings with Chinese customers, often through students and their friends and relatives. It appears that an expensive new watch or other piece of jewellery is a popular gift for graduating students from their parents! There was vigorous discussion and practical application of ideas.
These managers arrived aware that many of their current Chinese customers spend thousands and even tens of thousands of pounds per transaction. They left the course highly motivated and equipped to further build rapport and achieve even better results from this rapidly growing market.

It has been a rough 2 or so weeks for thousands of Kenyans as Orange Kenya quietly shut down its unlimited internet plan.
The struggling mobile operator has been the cheapest provider of un-metered internet in the country, but it seems that was not working for them.
Orange just recently changed the name of their unlimited plans to XCELL, but that did not come with immediate change of the terms and conditions… until a few days ago.
The internet plans are still divided into modem and mobile.
The mobile plans are as follows.
As you can see from the table above, a new 'CAP' column has been introduced.
Previously, in the daily unlimited for instance, once a user reached the 200 MB Fair Usage limit, the speed would be capped at 128 kbps for the reminder of the 24 hour period.
The same applied for the weekly and monthly, in that once a user exhausted his allocated 3 GB before the 30 day period was over, he/she would still access the internet for the reminder of the duration at reduced speeds.
Now, Orange has scrapped that and have basically converted it to a bundle plan no different from what Safaricom offers.
The daily mobile plan for instance gives you 400 MB (200 MB at normal speeds and 200 MB at reduced speeds). After exhausting that, you will need to buy a new plan.
And the same applies to the modem XCELL plan.
The Sh990 that initially gave you virtually unlimited internet for 7 days now comes with only 15 GB (10 GB at normal speeds, 5 GB at reduced speeds).
The Sh2990 monthly plan now has a limit of 30 GB (20 GB at normal speeds, 10 GB at reduced speeds). If you exhaust this within say, 5 days of your 30, you'll need to buy another plan.
Without clear communication from Orange, many subscribers have been left to guess why their devices are no longer connecting to the internet. Some were in the middle of their weekly or monthly plans when the changes were effected.
Here are some comments from Facebook.
Safaricom has not shown any interest in bringing back their unlimited plans.
Airtel on the other hand has some really pocket friendly unlimited internet plans, but you'll be lucky to find a decent 3G connection anywhere.
Orange's future in the country is in doubt, with constant news of foreign acquisition or market exit. It is thought that most of their clientele, especially young people, were in it for the unlimited internet. Whether they will stick remains to be seen.

Colloquium, 4/16 — Lisa Matthewson
Our next talk in our 2020-2021 McGill Linguistics Colloquium Series will be given by Lisa Matthewson (University of British Columbia) on Friday, April 16th, at 3:30pm. The title and abstract are included below.
If you have not yet registered for the colloquium series, please do so here (you only need to register once for the 2021-2021 year). For more information on upcoming events in the McGill Linguistics department, please see our website.
Evidential-temporal interactions do not (always) come for free
Lisa Matthewson (joint work with Yuto Hirayama)
Evidentials are usually assumed to encode the speaker's source of evidence for their utterance. However, a growing body of research proposes that evidence source does not need to be hardwired into the lexical entry of the evidential morphemes; instead, evidential restrictions can be derived from temporal or aspectual information in the rest of the sentence (e.g., Chung 2007, Lee 2013 for Korean; Koev 2017 for Bulgarian; Bowler 2018 for Tatar; Speas 2021 for Matses).
In this talk we argue that the derivation of evidence source from temporal information is not always tenable. Drawing on data from five languages from four families, we argue that evidentials can lexically encode restrictions on the time the speaker acquired their evidence for the truth of the prejacent proposition (the Evidence Acquisition Time). Evidentials can do this independently of temporal marking elsewhere in the sentence, and they sometimes must encode both temporal and evidence source information.
In particular, we argue that English inferential apparently and seem, the Japanese indirect evidential yooda and reportative sooda, and the St'át'imcets (a.k.a. Lillooet; Salish) perceived-evidence inferential an' all require that the earliest time their prejacent p becomes true, EARLIEST(p) (cf. Beaver and Condoravdi 2003) precedes or coincides with the Evidence Acquisition Time. Conversely, English epistemic should and the German epistemic modal sollte encode the opposite relation: EARLIEST(p) must follow the EAT. A third group of evidentials encode no temporal restrictions: the English epistemic modal must, St'át'imcets inferential k'a and reportative ku7, and Gitksan (Tsimshianic) inferential ima and reportative gat. Comparing temporal evidentials with non-temporal ones supports the view that a temporal component is hardwired into the lexical semantics of the former set. Finally, the fact that the temporal contributions cross-cut the evidential ones supports the proposal that one cannot be reduced to the other in these languages.

I love the look of leather and fabric together, this is the first time that I've made something combining these two materials. As I've wanted to make a rucksack for ages it was a good opportunity to try it out.
It took me a while to find a suitable fabric. I like hand waxed canvas but couldn't find any in the UK, so searched some more and came across a fabric called oilskin. Oilskin is a canvas or linen fabric that has been coated with several layers of linseed oil making it waterproof and beautiful in a very unique way.
Oilskin was traditionally used by fishermen and sailors for waterproof clothing as well as sails. Nowadays most oilskins are made of plastic, not this one though.
I used veg tan leather which I decorated with a pyrography tool and dyed with dark brown antique gel. The rucksack can also be worn as a shoulder bag.
All the metal fittings are heavy solid brass. The bag has a deep inside pocket, made from the oilskin. The strap is adjustable.
Making the bag took me a while. There was a lot of sewing to do….
The closure I made with a sam brown stud and two button holes so I can fill it up and still hold everything tight with the flap (I decided to add the second hole after I took the photo).
The oilskin is from Merchant & Mills, they have lots of beautiful fabrics (check out their linens and hand printed fabrics). I also love their about video (find it under story).
I'm using an inexpensive pyrography tool to burn designs into leather, it's good for simple shapes and drawings If you want to draw complex designs you have to get something more expensive.
Most of the metal fittings are from Abbey England, they also have good thread.

Study Launched to Determine Risk of Blood Donated by Sexually Active Gay Men
01/09/2022 | KPIX CBS
SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX) — A blood shortage exacerbated by the COVID pandemic is adding support to an effort to change the FDA's longstanding ban on donations by sexually active gay men. Since the pandemic began, the Vitalant donation site in San Francisco — like blood banks across the country — has been scrambling to find enough donors. "Businesses aren't holding blood drives, schools aren't holding blood drives and we're having to cancel and reduce our number of blood drives for staffing issues," said Vitalant spokesperson Kevin Adler. Since the beginning of the AIDS epidemic sexually active gay men have been banned from giving blood. "Basically, if you disclosed that you were a man who has sex with men, you were asked never to come in to donate again," said Dr. Brian Custer, Vitalant Institute's vice president of research. In 2015, the ban was changed to involve only men who had gay sex within the previous 12 months. In April 2020, that was dropped to three months. Custer said that, since each donation now is individually tested for HIV, there isn't much danger of transmission in any case. "I do think, with the current testing that is done, there isn't really a strong scientific rationale for a deferral, certainly of a year in length and, one could argue, even three months in length," he said. So Vitalant is partnering in the so-called "ADVANCE study," gathering data about the actual risk of gay men donating blood. They're soliciting volunteers to answer questions about their sexual lifestyles and submit a small blood sample. Scientists believe it will reveal the kind of activity that actually poses a risk, rather than branding all gay men as dangerous.
