2019 Chevrolet Camaro Hennessey Exorcist is hoping to participate among the positions of new cars began up coming year. This design has been produced for many years to have changes. Produce the improvement of the latest options and considered to be succeed to increase and try to be ready to grab good purchase. There are many features that can be pinned, the complete improved layout that has been presented on the auto motor show last moment. Buyers provide good scores on concept cars, the introduce this time have been expected. In case you are one of the fans watching for the launch of this car, with a little luck this snapshot helps to reduce your curiosity.
2019 Chevrolet Camaro Hennessey Exorcist is different from participants, several brands come with facelift models. Although with a facelift style, the manufacturers is very concerned in including options and improving the monitor. The company is really responsible for the public's need, with the right testing and a little touch of design style, this truck needs to participate. Mostly, there are several sections that many times have a reshuffle. As is mostly the shape is grille design, headlight design, taillight layouts and also the extra of body kits. But when the company makes a full update, of course, it is connected with a new frame, new body line design, additional features, improving sizes, driving comfort, or even raised power and torque.
We honestly wish a lot with this truck, any scarcity is needing to be resolved. But each change usually boosts production prices so that it impacts the pricing. 2019 Chevrolet Camaro Hennessey Exorcist came up as a masterpiece if this truck was introduced it might have fulfilled user demands. Powerful engine, advanced comfort, increased security. The modern navigation and also connectability features. All the details has become completely ready, a few photos and spy shots that you look at now are not absolutely the suitable, sometimes present as an estimation. We will give the fresh updates right away if you never mind this could be the fresh photo we found for 2019 Chevrolet Camaro Hennessey Exorcist.

Q: Value of type error in C++ function always NULL i have to do my function always.I can not using standart library.
My_cpy , my_len and my_strdup function in here. Please check it for me. I think it is easy but i have a problem about this function. I showed the error at the end of the page. I think it is clear. In addition this is C++
Thanks a lot.
Codes:
void my_cpy(char* dest, const char* src) {

    int i = 0;
    while (src[i] != '\0') {
        dest[i] = src[i];
        i++;
    }
    dest[i] = '\0';
}

int my_len(const char* p) {

    int c = 0;
    while (*p != '\0')
    {
        c++;
        *p++;
    }
    return c;
}

char *my_strdup(const char *s) {
    char* d = malloc(my_len(s) + 1);    // Space for length + null
    if (d == NULL) return NULL;         //No memory
    my_cpy(d, s);                       // Copy the characters
    return d;                           // Return the new string
}

I have error on this functions. How can i solve this problem?

Error (active)        a value of type "void *" cannot be used to initialize
  an entity of type "char *"
`Error    C2440   'initializing': cannot convert from 'void *' to 'char *'`

I wrote it:
char* d = (char*) malloc(my_len(s) + 1)

but now problem on p . Always NULL.

A: malloc() is returning void * type. In C it does not need to be cast, but in C++ it needs to be cast explicitly:
char* d = static_cast<char*>(malloc(my_len(s) + 1));

(prefer static_cast to a C-style cast)
You can also use
char* d = new[my_len(s) + 1];

But in that case you need to make sure that the client of the function will not call free() but delete[].

These are stories of the Four Just Men, Edgar Wallace's famous characters known to the wider public principally as a result of the early television series of the same name. The source material is, of course, far removed from its celluloid derivative. Far from being set in the world post WW2, the original stories take place in the colourful period immediately following the Great War. The principal characters remain a refreshing antidote to stereotypical heroes for they are group of ruthless and dedicated vigilantes, disillusioned with a world where the wicked and the abusers of power perpetually go unpunished. The Just Men set about to rectify matters according to their own standards and retribution is dispensed on swift and deadly wings.

It's always when you have to be somewhere else, or when you're speaking to someone you're not really interested in, that you get tangled up in an endless conversation that traps you like a sticky web. There are plenty of ways you could end it, like telling them how much you don't care or by just walking away, but you probably don't want to seem like a rude and insensitive person.
Luckily for you, there are some clever and polite ways to gently eject yourself from a conversation without burning any bridges.
By asking someone for their phone number or social media handle right before leaving, you give them the impression that you enjoyed your time together and wish to keep in touch. Whether you actually call or add them later is entirely up to you.
If you're calling or texting with someone, you can always claim that your battery is running out. Practically everyone will accept this excuse, though you'll have to go offline for a bit of time if you don't want to get caught.
Leaving all of a sudden can often give a negative impression, no matter how good your excuse is. By giving a heads up beforehand and saying you really have to leave in 10 minutes, you show them that you do enjoy their company while also signalling to them to wrap it up. If you end up staying a little longer than planned, they will feel especially interesting.
This is a very risky tactic if you don't like someone, but asking someone if they want to join you shifts the decision from you to them. If they say no, you're not really leaving them, but rather they're leaving you. It becomes impossible for them to have any hard feelings towards you, even if you already know beforehand that they can't accept your invitation.
We often overthink how someone will react to our actions. If you want people to be honest with you, you should lead by example and be honest with them. So feel free to tell them what's really going on.
Believe it or not, you're actually allowed to leave a conversation without giving a specific reason. If people can't accept that your life doesn't revolve around them, you probably shouldn't be around them in the first place. Just don't be rude about it!

OCTOBER 3, 2013: HIGH RIVER STRONG: THE MOST IMPORTANT CAR SHOW OF 2013
Last year's High River show set a high water mark for Alberta car shows in 2012 . Unfortunately, there was a higher water mark set when the town was completely inundated on June 20, 2013.
The Highwood River flooded the town in a devastating display of nature versus humanity and we all know how that brawl turns out every time.
The 2012 show was perfect because the late September weather was balmy and mid-summer like plus the venue was Hollywood-like in a very real sense.
In fact, High River is so photogenic it was a Smallville stand-in for the Superman movies in the late 70s and it hasn't lost that feel in the 21st century. You could argue that it was the perfect Norman Rockwell setting for a car show.
That's how it looked in 2012.
2013 was a different scenario for High River because you can't leave a town underwater for several days and expect it to look and feel the same. This town was hammered by nature and the consequences are similar to a bad traffic accident. You want to look away but you're drawn in by the carnage.
There were hundreds of reports on the High River flood. They began with the videos of the downtown under several feet of water and migrated to the devastation felt by people who lost everything in the flood. This was a disaster on a major scale.
The High River 2013 car show looked like a lost cause in June but by mid-summer the River City Classics Car Club put out the message that the show would go on in September.
The Alberta car culture was highly impressed by this display of courage in the face of adversity because they had heard reports of classic rides that became victims of the High River flood. Members of the car club were also victims so Alberta car clubs put their unqualified support behind the car show.
Few possessions are more personal than an old car or truck because these vintage rides represent hard work, money, patience and a dedication to simpler times. Car guys can empathize with a guy who loses his pride and joy to a natural disaster. They feel the same pain the owner feels when he finds a wadded-up muddy mess that used to be his old Camaro.
Despite the odds against the event going on as scheduled after the flood, the High River car guys knew the annual car show was a huge part of the local community. Car guys are by nature, resilient and they thrive on improvisation so rescuing the show was a realistic goal.
That's when High River confirmed the show and the Alberta car culture responded with a huge show of support for the local car guys in the stricken town.
This is a big car show and it draws massive crowds so the first question begins and ends with logistics. How do you make a major event work in a disaster zone?
The answer is found in the people of High River. This is a cowboy town where hard work and dedication to a goal is the key to success.
They don't throw up their hands and concede defeat in High River They simply say, "let's fix this" and get on with the hard work of rebuilding a proud community.
The car show was a classic example of that spirit. The drive into town this year defined how big the job was, is and will be for High River. You could see trees and sludge piled up along fences that were almost a mile from the Highwood River.
New condos were clearly behind the building schedule because the construction site still looked like a mass of river mud. There were huge piles of dirt near the downtown core full of gravel and branches that were clearly part of an upstream riverbank last year.
The downtown area was basically still under reconstruction and most businesses were still out of action. They were cordoned off behind fences and some looked like a war zone.
George Lane Park was closed and one local explained they were very concerned about the toxins in the grass and the dust so clearly there is plenty of work ahead.
Despite those obvious signs of distress the town put on a car show and they did it in a big way. The town was packed with people and classic iron on a beautiful Sunday fall day and for a few hours the people of High River were allowed to put down the tools and have some fun.
They needed this car show. They put out a song called High River Strong as a fundraiser for flood relief and that's not just words in a country song.
That's how they live in High River.

When we first meet up with potential clients they ask us what makes us different, apart from our work which speaks for itself. We create digital alchemy and human experiences. Part of that human experience is having a deep understanding of humans – in this case, it's the customer.
It's often said that technological advancements like Blockchain, and specifically cryptocurrencies, are a solution looking for a problem. What this epithet illustrates is that the best products are a soothing balm for the pain of the customer. Great marketing, then, is the microphone which amplifies both the customer pain as well as the brand's solution.

Everyone wants to know what time is the Super Bowl 2013 game? The Super Bowl XLVII will be starting after all the pre-game coverage tonight at 6:30pm EST, 5:30pm CST, 4:30pm MST, 3:30pm PST in the United States on CBS. For those with an HD TV you'll be able to get the broadcast in 1080p / 1080i for crystal clear quality of the New Orleans stadium.
Just like NBC last year, CBS will be allowing you to watch the Super Bowl 47 LIVE online at CBS's new live streaming page at CBSSports.com. There will be social tracking and conversation that you can participate in with a real-time Twitter stream too.
If you're excited to start watching NFL Superbowl coverage of the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers you don't need to wait at all. There are behind the scenes interviews, sports analyst picks and talks about Super Bowl commercials streaming now with pre-game coverage at CBSSports.com all day today.
While your amazing High Definition TV may be the best place to watch Super Bowl 47 this year, there are some advantages to streaming it online. Choosing your own Super Bowl game camera angle can get some NFL diehards really excited. This year a new "all 22" camera angle will give every viewer the ability to have the entire field in one shot. Typically NFL coaches are the only people that get this angle to monitor game play.
The other camera angle that seems very interesting is a dedicated camera man called the "Fan Choice" angle selection. Throughout the Super Bowl game viewers will be able to vote on the four rare camera angles to be the one everyone gets in the live online stream of the Super Bowl match off.


Visual Pool Inspection $275: In the visual pool inspection we focus on three main areas; Structural, Deck and Mechanical equipment.
1) In the structural examination we focus on the pool, coping and deck areas around the pool. The areas focused on include but are not limited to Tile, Grout, Coping, Interior Finish, Caulk/Expansion Joints and Deck. Tile and grout are scrutinized for loose or missing sections. Coping is inspected for missing, loose and hollow sections. Interior surface finish will be inspected for cracking, pitting, delamination and failure. Expansion joints are heavily scrutinized for cracks and gaps. Improperly sealing control joints can lead to premature cracking and heaving from excess moisture under pool deck.
2) In the deck equipment portion we focus on the hardware, both on the deck and in the pool. The areas focused on include but are not limited to Skimmers, Ladder, Handrails, and Main drain cover, Anchors, Inlets/Fittings, Ropes, Slides, Dive Boards and Covers. Skimmers are inspected for cracking and operation. Ladders and hand rails are inspected for rusting, pitting, cracking and signs of abuse. Maindrain covers are stringently scrutinized for presence and cracking to prevent possible entrapment hazards. Anchors, Inlets/Fittings, Ropes, Slides, Dive Boards and Covers are inspected for presence, condition, and operation.
Pressure Test of Pool Lines $350: In a pressure test we send a crew of pool technicians to the site with testing equipment to check for leaks in the plumbing reachable from the surface. In this process the lines are charged with 15lbs of air pressure. (The operating pressure pool systems are designed to sustain a pressure of 60psi plus. The air pressure used will not in any way damage plumbing.) The pressure is then monitored for any indication of leak down. Any leak down measured indicates a compromised line. The lines tested include but are not limited to Skimmers, returns, aerators and cleaner lines. We recommend all pools that have endured 1 winter or more in St Louis get pressure tested due to the simple fact that a broken line can easily cost thousands of dollars to locate, dig up and repair.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact Pool Tron at (314)428-1971 or service@pooltronservice.com. Pool Tron limits its liability to the value of the cost of the pool inspection.
Pool inlets should be adjusted so the surface water is moving in a circular direction. Make a habit of checking and emptying skimmer and pump baskets regularly.
Our staff has been factory trained to test and repair virtually any type of cleaner on the market. With our in-house testing facility, a knowledgeable staff member will be able to run and test your cleaner detecting any issues and quickly repairing the unit often times within minutes while you wait.
A Pool Tron professional will test and analyze your pool and/or spa water using the latest water testing equipment. Our water chemistry experts will be able to give you advice and recommendations on how to maintain a clean, safe and healthy swimming environment. Proper water balance will also aid in the longevity of your equipment avoiding warranty issues and premature failure of components.
Allow Pool Tron to ease your burden while you are out of town, from one week to several months. We will maintain your pool from the chemicals, to cleaning the entire pool, to emptying all skimmers, and checking all equipment. Saving you money in the long run by preventing a green pool, pool surface stains, and insuring your equipment is operating problem free. We maintain your pool with the same service as our weekly pool service on a temporary basis.
We maintain your pool with the same service as our weekly check and balance pool service on a temporary basis.

Satellite Communication / By Roshni Y / Leave a Comment
Definition: The word 'transponder' is formed by combining the terms transmitter and responder. A satellite transponder is a transparent relay channel that connects the transmitting and receiving antennas for the purpose of communication.
It is basically a multiple equipment channel and not simply a single item of equipment that connects the two separate stations. So, more simply, we can say that a satellite transponder is a series of interlinked devices that form a single communication channel between transmitter and receiver.
Content: Transponder (Satellite Communication)
A combination of a transmitter-receiver system employed together to execute communication between the two is called a transponder.
We know that whenever there is a need for a signal to get transmitted or received between the two ends then a need for a channel exists through which the transmission or reception can take place. Some signals do not require any specific medium and simply get propagated through a vacuum. But in the case of satellite communication, radio waves cover a quite large space of earth, thus, a proper channel is required which can support the propagation of radio waves from an end to another. This channel is known as a transponder.
It is to be noted here that the bandwidth of the transponder shows dependency on the nature of the signal being carried out by the satellite and the technology used for the transmission.
For typical C-band satellite service, the bandwidth allotted is around 500 MHz and this is divided among various sub-bands where each sub-band is allotted to a single transponder. The bandwidth of a typical transponder is 36 MHz. If we employ 12 such transponders with 4 MHz of guard band between each transponder, then accommodation of 12 transponders in 500 MHz bandwidth is achievable.
What is Satellite Communication?
Satellite communication is a crucial pillar of the global telecommunications system. It uses various artificial satellites that orbit around the earth in order to pass on analog as well as digital signals that carry data, video, and voice to various locations. The operation of a satellite in space is such that it receives the radio signals gathered from the antennas situated on the surface of the earth and retransmits them using a transponder.
Satellites used in communication are of two types, one is active while the other is passive. The operation of passive satellites is such that these simply reflect the signal from the source towards the receiver. As against, active satellites provide the amplified signals to the receiver which is obtained from the source. And at present, active satellites are majorly used.
Communication through satellites facilitates easy and fast signal transmission and reception. Satellite communication holds great importance in today's world because it efficiently circulates the signals to the desired location like in remote and rural regions of the earth where even land-based technologies do not show suitability.
Functions of Satellite Transponder
Till now we have got the idea of what a transponder basically is. Let us now see the functions of a satellite transponder. So, the two major functions of a satellite transponder are as follows:
Amplification of the received input signal.
Frequency translation.
Working of Satellite Transponder
We have recently discussed that a satellite transponder is a series combination of various elements that acts as a channel for communication. Here we will discuss the operation of various components of the transponder.
The figure below represents the simplified representation of a single conversion transponder for the 6/4 GHz band:
Here, the 6 GHz signal is down-converted into 4 GHz while getting transmitted from an end to another. Let us now proceed and understand how the transponder operates.
Initially, a 6 GHz signal received from an antenna is provided to a low noise amplifier where amplification of the signal is performed. Further, the signal is down-converted to 4 GHz using a local oscillator with frequency 2.225 GHz. Now, the intermediate frequency bandpass filter takes the 4 GHz signal as output and removes the undesired frequency signal. Further, the filtered signal undergoes amplification by the use of a pre-amplifier like a traveling wave tube amplifier which is incorporated above. Then the output of the TWTA is fed to a high power amplifier that smoothes out the amplitude and phase variation of the received signal.
In this way, the various units that built a transponder down-converts the 6 GHz signal into 4 GHz and provide the signal from the output of HPA to the transmitting antenna. Hence, in this way a 6/4 GHz transponder operates.
Let us now understand how a 14/11 GHz band transponder operates by considering the diagrammatic representation shown below:
It is clear from the above figure that double frequency conversion is adopted for this band of transponder operation. So, initially, the signal from the antenna is provided to a low noise amplifier for the basic amplification. Further, the amplified signal undergoes down-conversion with the use of a down converter along with a local oscillator whose frequency of operation is 13 GHz.
So, the signal after down-conversion is reduced to 1 GHz and this 1 GHz signal is fed to the local IF bandpass filter where the undesired frequency components are removed. This is then fed to the IF amplifier for signal amplification and provided to an upconverter with a local oscillator frequency of 10 GHz. As a result of upconversion, 1 GHz signal is converted into 11 GHz and is provided to the RF bandpass filter. Lastly, high power amplification of the signal is performed using HPA and the signal is provided to the antenna unit. In this way 14/11 GHz band operation of transponder takes place.
Types of Satellite Transponders
It is to be noted here that there are basically two types of transponders, which are as follows:
Bent pipe or Conventional transponders
Regenerative or Processing transponders
Both of these transponders perform frequency conversion and amplification. But along with these two operations, the regenerative transponder demodulates the radio frequency carrier signal to baseband signal along with regeneration of signal and modulation.


Splash the olive oil into a skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and prosciutto cook, gently sautéing and browning until crisp, about 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cream, eggs yolks, Parmesan and oregano.
Cook the pasta in lots of boiling salted water until it is tender yet chewy – al dente – 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta but don't rinse it or wash the pot just yet!
Return the cooked noodles to their cooking pot and toss in the cooked pancetta and prosciutto. Stir the egg yolk mixture into the hot noodles, allowing the heat of the freshly cooked pasta to immediately thicken the works into an egg yolk rich cheese sauce. Serve and share pronto!

'Why Won't They Talk: Using Discussion To Facilitate Learning'
Katharine Shilcutt
– January 8, 2018Posted in: Current News
Annual CTE Symposium focuses on engaging students through classroom discussion
Rice University faculty members gathered Jan. 5 to examine innovative teaching methods at the fifth annual "Symposium on Teaching and Learning," hosted by the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE). This year's symposium focused on the importance of discussion in facilitating education.

"Our workshop today is a part of a focus that we've placed this year on discussion-based teaching," said Joshua Eyler, director of the CTE. "Over the last few years, I've heard feedback from faculty and graduate students about having some programming on effective ways to lead discussion in the classroom, so this year we've focused on that a bit."
The symposium began with a welcome by Robin Paige, associate director of the CTE, who introduced the event's keynote speaker, Jay Howard, professor of sociology and dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Butler University in Indianapolis. His presentation, "Why Won't They Talk: Using Discussion To Facilitate Learning," focused on engaging students in the sorts of conversations that sharpen their critical-thinking skills, both addressing the challenges professors typically face in beginning these conversations within their classrooms and providing ideas for how to overcome those difficulties.
"Why should we bother with discussion in our classrooms?" Howard asked. "Because if you stop to think about it, that's a really risky thing to do. You have to let go of control to some degree if you're going to invite students into a discussion. All sorts of things could happen. Students might respond with really insightful comments and be very enthusiastic, or you might ask a question and the room goes silent and everyone starts getting very uncomfortable in very short order. Or even worse — you could have a student say something that's vile and offensive. And how are we going to respond to that? So why should we bother?"
Howard pointed to 30 years of research (much of that his own) that shows students learn better when they're engaged. Discussion is one of the best tools for encouraging that engagement, he said. During his presentation, Howard took an informal poll of the instructors at the symposium, who agreed that when students are stakeholders in the process of learning, they're more likely to take ownership of their education. Professors, meanwhile, are more likely to identify gaps in their students' knowledge and are more liable to elicit diverse perspectives from their classrooms on the whole during these conversations.
But what happens when students don't want to engage in discussion? Research shows that only 30 percent of students regularly speak up during class, with students in the front third of the classroom talking twice as much as those behind them. (Older students chime in four times more frequently, Howard's research also showed.) These so-called "dominant" talkers can dissuade less vocal students just as easily as general shyness or unfamiliarity with a topic.
For one, Howard said, it's imperative to establish a norm of classroom discussion at the onset of a semester, as opposed to setting an expectation of passive education in which students are silent, passive receptacles of knowledge and are only expected to pay what Howard calls "civil attention."
"You've got to change that expectation," he said. "The very first day of class is important for doing that. How many of you spend the first day of class reading your syllabus to students? If yours is the only voice that is heard on the first day of class, guess what? You've just established the norm of civil attention."
A lunchtime workshop allowed faculty to brainstorm new ideas for engaging students in discussion.
Howard asked the symposium attendees to share their own tried-and-true methods for setting that open-dialog expectation on the first day of class. Creative audience approaches included the group creation of a concept map that links terms used in the course of a semester; a competition to see which group of students can create the tallest possible tower using only a small assortment of dried spaghetti noodles, string, tape and a single marshmallow; and one chemistry professor who tells her students, "If I make a mistake and they catch it, I'll do 10 push-ups." (She admitted to doing those 10 push-ups about once per month.)
Howard's own suggestions for engaging reluctant students were equally active: Move around the classroom, instead of staying put behind a lectern; arrive early to greet students and take an active interest in their lives outside of class; and call on students directly, while ensuring they understand this isn't a punitive measure, nor one designed to embarrass them if they're unprepared.
During the symposium's lunchtime workshop, small groups of instructors brainstormed ideas for encouraging their students to share more — and more frequently.
Rewarding participation was a prevalent option, with many professors opting to assign a portion of their students' grades based on the quantity and/or quality of classroom conversation. Encouraging discussion partners or small groups, which can then talk about their findings with the larger class, was also a popular choice. One professor warns her students ahead of time that she draws names at random to answer questions during class; another allows his students to "phone a friend" a la "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?" if they're stumped.
Regardless of technique, Howard stressed, what's important is finding a way to engage the entire classroom — not just the dominant talkers. "You've got to convince the quiet students they've got something to share — that they have something worth talking about," Howard said.
Whatever the barriers to creating more conversations within the classroom, Howard said that the subject itself is rarely one of those obstacles. The No. 1 reason students in his research work cited for keeping quiet was simply that they're shy. The second most commonly cited reason was the knowledge that someone else in the class — one of those dominant talkers — would answer first, while the third was a "fear of appearing unintelligent to their peers," Howard said.
"It was really only 5 to 8 percent of students who said, 'I don't talk because I'm not interested in the topic.'"
The symposium ended with closing remarks from Mike Gustin, professor of biochemistry and cell biology and faculty chair for the CTE. "I thought the workshop nicely revealed the ways in which the classroom is truly a social space with its own norms," Eyler said of the day's events. "It was an inspiring way to begin the semester, and we were delighted to see so many faculty participating."

Midwest U.S. grid operator MISO: modelling for a clean energy future
November 19, 2019 by Sam Gomberg
Planning can't be easy for a grid operator. Take MISO which operates one of the world's largest energy markets. They're responsible for integration and bulk transmission across the central U.S., but decisions on the actual future energy mix and demand are being made elsewhere: by state governments, utilities and consumers big and small. Given the amounts invested in infrastructure and the lead times involved, no one will thank MISO if their guesses are wrong. So each year they conduct a modelling exercise based on what key stakeholders are saying and doing. Sam Gomberg at the Union of Concerned Scientists explains how, last month, MISO took a significant step in creating a new set of modelling futures that anticipate strong overall growth in renewables, also factoring in new trends like electric cars and rooftop solar. Their most aggressive model, looking to 2035, anticipates at least 50% renewables, an 80% reduction in emissions, retirement of nearly every coal unit by the mid-2020s, and a 70% increase in electricity demand (through widespread adoption of EVs, electrification of buildings and other shifts from fossil fuel-dependence to electrification). That's ambitious, but if they're modelling it, they think it could happen.
In a proposal put forth on October 17th, MISO – which operates the bulk electric transmission system across the central U.S. – leaned into the undeniable transition towards renewable energy resources, emerging technologies like battery storage, and the growing momentum behind decarbonising our economy. It's a marked shift for MISO – one that should be recognised as proactive and forward looking. It's also essential to ensure a modern grid is ultimately ready to support a clean and reliable electricity supply.
MISO (which stands for Midcontinent Independent System Operator) manages the bulk electric transmission system across the central U.S. – from Wisconsin to Louisiana, North Dakota to Michigan. It has two primary roles: ensure a reliable electricity supply through maintenance and investment in the transmission system and ensure fair electricity markets by providing access for new resources like wind, solar and battery storage.

Predicting energy sources, demand, policies
To be clear–it is not MISO's role to decide what our mix of electricity resources will be. Across the MISO service territory, it's the states, utilities, local governments, major companies and energy consumers that are ultimately driving demand for cheaper, cleaner electricity. MISO's role is to be responsive to these trends and ensure the bulk transmission system is ready to maintain reliability in the face of change and enable new electricity resources to get their power to consumers.
To do this, MISO conducts an annual modelling exercise that evaluates multiple possible futures based on current trends, possible future policy shifts, and other factors that can impact how we generate and consume electricity going forward. The process ultimately leads to approval of "no regrets" transmission investments that are cost-effective, maintain a reliable electricity supply, and support fairly functioning electricity markets as conditions change over time. For several years we have been advocating for MISO to take a more proactive stance in its modelling – arguing alongside other stakeholders that MISO is not adequately planning for the significant changes that are already happening, let alone what could happen over the next 15-20 years.
30% wind and solar by 2030
The two charts below highlight MISO's rapidly shifting resource mix. The left shows (as of September) new resources that have applied to connect to MISO's system – more than 100 GW of new resources, more than 85 percent of which are renewable energy resources. Not all of these projects will ultimately be built, but it is a strong indicator of the direction MISO's resource mix is heading. The chart on the right shows MISO's changing resource mix when considering only current utility and state announcements. Even under this "baseline" scenario, MISO reaches 30 percent wind and solar by 2030.
With more than 85,000 megawatts of new renewable energy resources having applied to connect to MISO (left) and utility and state commitments pushing MISO beyond 30 percent renewables by 2030 (right), the writing is on the wall that MISO must prepare for high levels of renewable energy penetration. Source: MISO
This rapid shift away from coal and towards renewables and natural gas affects how MISO operates the transmission system and approves investments to maintain reliability and provide access for these new resources to help meet demand. Part of the rationale behind MISO's new focus on the future is recognition that these trends are likely to continue. MISO states like Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota are already discussing much deeper decarbonisation efforts than are currently on the books, corporate demand for clean energy is growing, and utilities are consistently upping their projections of clean energy's role in meeting future energy demand. Because it can take several years to ultimately construct new transmission projects, MISO needs to stay ahead of the curve in its planning and investments.
Taking a proactive approach to enable our clean energy future
Fortunately, MISO's planning took a significant turn for the better last month when MISO rolled out its straw proposal for a new set of modelling futures to analyse as it heads into the 2020 – 2021 planning cycle. MISO is proposing 3 futures – one based on current announcements by states and utilities that will push MISO beyond 30 percent renewables by 2035, and two others that consider varying degrees of carbon emission reduction and renewable energy build out. MISO will also consider changes in demand due to potential widespread adoption of electric vehicles and demand-side resources such as rooftop solar. The most aggressive future – designed to be a "bookend" of what might occur over the 15-year planning horizon includes:
at least 50 percent of energy coming from renewable energy resources by 2035,
an 80 percent reduction in carbon emissions compared to today's levels,
Retirement of nearly every coal unit in the MISO territory by the mid-2020s, and
A 70 percent increase in electricity demand (along with changes in when that demand occurs) due to widespread adoption of electric vehicles, electrification of buildings (for example: shifting to electric heating rather than natural gas), and other shifts from fossil fuel-dependence to electrification.
In the sake of brevity – I will simply say that this is a BIG deal. MISO's job isn't easy – making investments now to prepare for an uncertain future. MISO can't create our clean energy future – that's up to us as consumers to demand. But MISO, through its function as the regional grid operator, can either complement or hinder our progress. MISO's proposed revamp of its planning process is a strong step in the right direction to ensure our electricity grid is ready for our clean energy future.

Chad Elliott & The Redemptions Set To Release Rest Heavy
Posted on July 15, 2018 July 15, 2018 by ragin_randy247
Chad Elliott & The Redemptions Release Rest Heavy on August 10, 2018
Bluesy, Rockin' and Soulful Original Music Recorded at Sun Studio in Memphis
Iowa singer-songwriter, artist and author, Chad Elliott, independently releases Rest Heavy: The Sun Studio Sessions on August 10, 2018. Elliott's writing weaves love, loss and forgiveness into well-worn lyrics with timeless melodies. "Low, loose, and full of juice. This album's got a lot of life to it," said acclaimed Iowa singer-songwriter Greg Brown.
With Rest Heavy, Elliott shows his love of roots-rock, soul, and blues music with a rocking band behind his artfully crafted songs and gravelly delivery. The self-produced album was recorded by Ples Hampton at the famed Sun Studio in Memphis, TN. Hampton said, "It was honestly one of the best sessions I've ever had up here. This is gold."
Elliott, performing on acoustic guitar and harmonica, is joined by his full band, The Redemptions, which includes Tommy Lewis (electric guitar, harmonica, background vocals), Travis McFarlane (piano, B3 organ, keys), Kevin Boehnke (acoustic guitar, trumpet), Joseph Cafaro (upright bass), and Jim Van Dorn (drums).

"I could, literally, feel the shift in the music just by walking through the doors at Sun Studio. The room seemed to have its own electric currency running through it and it made the songs come alive. We walked away feeling like we had an out of body experience. There were times I would just sit in the corners and look into the air of the room to see if that legendary music was still floating there, mixing with ours," Elliott said.
Elliott's live performances, whether with a full band or solo, are a blend of engaging storytelling and memorable song lyrics that captivate audiences of all ages. He said, "Live performance is every bit as creative as the writing process. I love the energy created between performer and audience. It can be a heartbreaking solo ballad or a full band, foot-stomping blues song. When it connects there is no better feeling."
The Daily Country premiered the title track, "Rest Heavy," and says it, "grabs your heart and soul with its classic harmonica-infused melody, tempered backbeat, and Elliott's gravelly yet warm delivery that nods to the memory of the greats who made their mark at Sun."
Listen here → http://bit.ly/TDC_RestHeavy_SongPremiere.
Rest Heavy ranges from modern gospel love songs like the title track (with its throwback soul sound) to the tale of unrequited love in "Alberta." He delves into country soul with "Hills of Tennessee," recalls early Tom Waits in the jazzy "Cadillac Problems, Buick Times," adds in some Parlor blues in "Slow Again," and offers some bottom feeder blues with "Dirty River (Catfish Blues)."
An American ramble song that tips its hat to beat poets, musicians, and ramblers of the world, "Shy of Shameless" is a travel log of sorts. It depicts Elliott's years of touring and wandering America, living out of a vehicle.
"Embarcadero Street" has a raw feel to it with its slinky slide guitar, trashy drums, and the lyrics "Never would've guessed I was on the edge… Because I kept myself so clean… Shaved my beard up good and tight… Tried to wash away all the mean…" Elliott said, "Years ago, Embarcadero Street in San Francisco was my stomping grounds during a difficult time in my life. I slept on park benches and abandoned piers. This song is like a brief journal entry for me."
A deeply personal song, "Shining Stars" has a more ethereal sound, highlighting the acoustics of the room and the B3 organ, making this intimate song feel like a throwback to the 50s. Similarly, "Water Under the Bridge" is a mending song with a serene groove. Elliott said, "Forgiveness for the sake of peace — that is what 'Water Under the Bridge' is about. Finding a place of atonement so one can move on past pain and fear."
"St. James Infirmary," the only cover on the eleven-track album, is an old New Orleans flavored traditional. Elliott said, "We were in Memphis, so we picked up the tempo and did it in just one take as a bonus track. I have always loved the dark mystery of this song. It was an added bonus track and the entire band let loose."
Elliott's early career demonstrates a love of folk, roots, and singer-songwriter music. He has worked with many greats and shared the stage with artists of the highest caliber, including Odetta, Tom Paxton, Loudon Wainwright III, R.L. Burnside, Greg Brown, Ruthie Foster, Jimmie Vaughan, etc.
"Chad's songs are inspired by real life and by real people," said Bronson Herrmuth, "They're not conjured up in a cookie cutter fashion designated by songwriting rules or regulations. He sings out loud and proud about the places he's been, the things he's seen, his life experiences, and those of his family and friends."
Elliott has released 22 albums including The Den Sessions in 2010 which is a ten-volume set. His most recent being RINGGOLD (2017) and Wreck and Ruin (2015). He has been featured on Iowa Public Radio's Java Blend ("rootsy, gravely growl and impressive, tasteful guitar work"), showcased at Folk Alliance International, composed and performed music for several IPTV documentaries, and won prestigious awards, such as the Woody Guthrie Song Contest (2009).
Elliott performs more than 200 shows each year and is lauded as "Iowa's Renaissance Man" by Culture Buzz. He has cultivated over 1,000 songs in his career while also honing his skills as a painter, sculptor, and children's book author/illustrator (Wilderman's Treetop Tales). He recently published a poetry book, Rumble & Flash.
"Rest Heavy jumps right at you and doesn't let go," said Rob Ellen of The UK's Medicine Show Radio. "The whole piece has an edge you can shave with."

The mothers' movement included far-right isolationist women's groups in the United States, beginning in California in 1939, soon after the start of World War II. At its height, it consisted of 50 to 100 loosely-confederated groups, with a total membership that may have been as high as five or six million. Members were typically white middle-class middle-aged Christian women.

They organised petitions and demonstrations, published propaganda, and were active in political campaigns. They are credited with having delayed US assistance to the Allies. Their activity declined after the Great Sedition Trial of 1944, but their leaders' opposition to the war continued.

Beginning
The movement originated in 1939 in Los Angeles, California, with the National League of Mothers of America. It gradually grew into a loose confederation of 50 to 100 groups that developed on the West Coast, the Midwest, and the East Coast. The members of these groups were largely white middle-aged middle-class Christian women; their leaders were exclusively college-educated upper-middle-class Christians. The groups published books, pamphlets, and newsletters opposed to the war. The members testified before congress, picketed the White House, collected petitions, and participated in political campaigns. The leaders most likely learned their organizing experience from women's clubs, political parties, or movements led by men.

Great Sedition Trial
The mother's movement was involved in the Great Sedition Trial of 1944 in which the government charged an assortment of 30 heterogeneous individuals with violations of the Smith Act of 1940 and the Sedition Act of 1917. The defendants were held to be pro-fascist participants in a Nazi conspiracy. US President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressured US Attorney General Francis Biddle into indicting the activists for sedition. Some of the leaders called to testify before the grand jury were Elizabeth Dilling, Cathrine Curtis, and Lyrl Clark Van Hyning.

A mistrial was declared on November 29, 1944, sometime after the death of the trial judge, ex-Representative Edward C. Eicher.

End
The mother's movement failed to accomplish its main goal of ending involvement in World War II, which led to the declining enthusiasm for the cause. The movement slowly diminished after the war ended. The leaders mostly dispersed into different paths, and most of them lost the distinction that they once had during the 1930s and the 1940s.

There have been times in the past when I have not been able to blog for some time, but this hiatus has been the longest one since the inception of the blog.
"So what is the lame excuse this time?" you may ask. Well, lots has happened - we've finished up at the seminary, moved house, and taken up a post as the minister of the Camperdown Methodist Church. Camperdown is a piece of heaven nestled in the picturesque Valley of 1000 Hills, about 25km south-east of Pietermaritzburg. I always tease my colleagues that while they preach about heaven, I actually live there! This may be an exaggeration of sorts, but this really is a gorgeous place to live in - the views are simply stunning.
As for the church itself, our congregation comprises about 55-60 regular worshippers on a Sunday, spread over two services. The morning service (09h00) is a mixture of contemporary and traditional, while the evening service (17h30) is somewhat unstructured, with time spent in prayer, worship, reflection, and sharing.
Ministry on Circuit has its challenges, of course - while there is much that seminary has taught me, there is also much that seminary didn't teach me - like how to mend leaking toilets in the manse, drive on roads that will provide good preparation for the Dakar Rally, harvest butternut and various other vegetables, repair computers, and be a human resources specialist. Yet there are also many joys - the warm welcome received from the people, the incredible goodwill from the leaders, the sense of being part of people's growth in Christ - in essence, the feeling of well-being that comes from knowing that I can finally do what God has called me to do. Certainly I'll need to draw on this joy in the months ahead; our Society and Circuit does indeed have many challenge.
Meanwhile, James has started his high school career at that most venerable of institutions, Maritzburg College. Ranked in the "Top 5" of schools in South Africa, it is steeed in tradition and has a proud sporting and academic heritage. It was the academic record that attracted us - last year the school has a 100% matric pass rate, with 91% of those being university entrance passes. And I'm glad to say that James has taken to College like a duck to water - he is thoroughly enjoying the experience.
As for the lame excuse for not blogging for a while? I've been working on getting our church website up and running, which includes some basic information about the church, links to resopurces, my weekly sermons, and a daily reflection based on a one-year Bible reading plan. Why not pop over to www.campermethchurch-za.blogspot.com and have a squizz?

"IS SHE REALLY THAT GOOD OR JUST ARROGANT?"
1 Comment on "IS SHE REALLY THAT GOOD OR JUST ARROGANT?"
OK…. this is part random musings and part rant/vent.
Here I am on a Sunday afternoon catching up on the last episode of Scandal. To say that the "drama" and the proverbial "sh*t" is hitting the fan would be an understatement. If you are a fellow "gladiator" you know what I am talking about. For those of you who are not, here is the shortest synopsis of what the show is about and what I am referring to:
Scandal is the ABC network's political drama loosely based on the life of Washington, DC- based "fixer," Judy Smith that was created by the Shonda Rhimes (think Grey's Anatomy). The series stars Kerry Washington as the Smith-like character, Olivia Pope, who runs a "crisis management" firm (think about some of the most salacious political scandals in recent times—she's the one type that helps them disappear from the headlines and our memories). The show centers around Pope's eponymous firm and its staff as well as the staff of the White House under fictions President Fitzgerald Grant III (played by Tony Goldwyn).
The key point you need to know about the show is that Olivia is having an affair with the married President of the United States (this didn't happen to Ms. Smith) and the First Lady knows about it and of course is being driven crazy by this fact. It has been going on for years (the show alludes to the long standing romance with flashbacks to the days of Fitz's gubernatorial and subsequent presidential campaigns). Well here's what is going on this season—the cat's been let out of the bag and after past insinuations by many of the President's political foes, the whole world has confirmation that Olivia is sleeping with Fitz and get this…. she admitted it on TV! I know when that happened, everyone was "clutching their pearls," gasping and whatever else one does in shock when the news broke.
Olivia Pope as portrayed by Kerry Washington
So of course, as with any scandal, the news programs decided to give us some insight on who the real Olivia Pope was (remember Monica Lewinsky?). Well as Olivia is sitting at home watching all these different programs delve into her past as an African American woman who "done good" by any means necessary (he father is in prison for supposedly embezzling money to fund a lavish lifestyle for him and his daughter when she was younger – but that is just a "cover")—the pull out all kinds of people from her past including her 3rd grade teacher (smdh).
So as we watched Olivia watching all of this, one of the reporters uttered a phrase that had me hitting pause and question what I just heard…." Is she really this good or just arrogant?" The reporter was referring to her success as DC's top fixer and the academic accolades and other achievements she racked up over the years. Now I know it is a TV show and that this is fake and all, but it really made me stop and think. Why did a question like that really have to be asked? Couldn't she really be that good to really achieve all the success she had professionally? What did she have to be considered arrogant? Is it because she saw herself as amazing and deserving of that title? And before all of you jump on me about the whole sleeping with a married man (and yes, the President) thing, I am talking that out of the equation for now because I am going to relate it to real life now. Sadly, it seems that when one refers to a woman of color (particularly a Black woman) who is successful, there is always some caveat that comes with it. Oh it's great that she is successful but she's a bitch or she's conceited or she's arrogant or thinks too much of herself. It is never…oh wow her accomplishments are so impressive or inspiring or great for ALL women.

Over the years I have had this conversation with women of all races and creeds in my circle and it always is something that left us either confused or angry. My white friends would first think I was being sensitive until they started listening more to what was being said. My friends of color (Asian, Black and Latina) would just shake their heads because it had become par for the course. What do I mean? Let's take First Lady Michelle Obama for example. Over the years we have heard her called a bitch, arrogant, standoffish, "angry" and all kinds of stuff. Why is that? I am not saying one has to love or even like her, but can she just have accomplishments noted without adding admonitions about people's perception of her as a person? And for the record, I actually say this about all women at the end of the day.
In my own life, I have had a lot of people later admit to me that I am totally different than what they surmised me to be like given my background and education level. One said that I am actually nice and not bitchy at all (how does one take that as a compliment?). I try not to get too worked up about it but things like this have happened on more than one occasion. Just last week, I was told that I must think I am entitled because I didn't grow up in the projects and went to Wellesley. (Really?????????)
I mean seriously…why is it wrong for me to think I am worthy of success and recognition (and for the record I really don't go looking for any) of said success? Is it wrong to think that I deserve the best things in life like my male and non-Black counterparts? Maybe I should blame it on my Caribbean upbringing that valued hard work and striving for the top; or maybe that as a woman of color I've had to put in twice as much work to be considered a fraction (can't even say half) as good as others in my field; or maybe it's just because I am a Virgo—that's what I say when anyone points out that I am an "overachiever." I wonder If I looked more like what many consider the American ideal of beauty (blonde hair, blue eyes and a size 2) would you say the same things to me about being arrogant or would that just come with the territory of who I was perceived to be? I have theories about the answer to this question but I am just going to end my post here so that I can get back to watching my "stories."
Until next time love bugs.

POLITICAL FASHION: A New York State of Mind at the 2013 Inaugural Balls
6 Comments on POLITICAL FASHION: A New York State of Mind at the 2013 Inaugural Balls
It seems that it was definitely a "New York State of Mind" with the inaugural ball fashion.
First Lady Michelle Obama was a "Lady in Red" last night in a custom-made gown by New York designer Jason Wu.
The "Big Apple" red colored chiffon and velvet gown (paired with a handmade diamond jewelry designer Kimberly Mc Donald and shoes by Jimmy Choo) is a follow up to the white gown by Wu that Mrs. Obama wore in 2009 at the President's first Inaugural Ball—propelling the Manhattan-based designer to a household name. The gorgeous red dress was the only one Jason Wu submitted for the First Lady's consideration. He collaborated with McDonald on the jeweled neckline—made of real diamonds.
The Obamas made their first appearance at the Commander-in-Chief Ball, honoring the members of the Armed Forces. There the First Couple was serenaded by Jennifer Hudson. The songstress, dressed in a classic black mermaid style gown, sang a lively rendition of the Al Green classic, "Let's Stay Together."
Dr. Jill Biden, wife of the Vice President, was a vision in blue in a gown by another New York designer, Vera Wang. The dapper Bidens were serenaded by singer and actor Jamie Foxx's rendition of the Ray Charles classic "I Can't Stop Loving You."
Also donning red last night was singer, Alicia Keys who wore a Michael Kors (another New York designer) gown with an open back for her performance at last night's event.
At the end of the inaugural festivities, the first lady's outfits and accompanying accessories will go to the National Archives.

POLITICAL FASHION: The 57th Presidential Inauguration
2 Comments on POLITICAL FASHION: The 57th Presidential Inauguration
First Lady Michelle Obama's new haircut (the beauty world all agrees that bangs suit her perfectly) was definitely a trending topic for the past few days, but today everyone is talking about the fabulous custom Thom Browne coat she sported at the public swearing in ceremony, Mrs. Obama added a little flair and showed off her curves with an ornate belt by J Crew (seems to be her favorite retailer). Under that fabulous designer coat, the First Lady donned a Thom Browne dress and Reed Krakoff cardigan for the afternoon festivities.
Not outshining their mom, the First Daughters looked amazing (and age appropriate) in their purple wool coats. Malia, the elder of the Obama girls, rocked a plum J Crew coat while little sister, Sasha, sported a lilac Kate Spade coat. These two are definitely following in their mom's footsteps as fashionistas in training.
The Obamas and the crowds assembled were serenaded by some stylish ladies today including King Bey who se moving rendition of the National Anthem had many in the crowd near tears. Beyonce arrived with her husband (Jay Z) in a Christian Dior coat which she removed revealing an amazing Pucci gown while she performed.
Now the fashion world waits to see who will be the designer to dress the First Lady for tonight's inaugural balls.

POLITICAL FASHION 101: Michelle Obama v. Anne Romney
1 Comment on POLITICAL FASHION 101: Michelle Obama v. Anne Romney
Surprisingly, before midnight on November 7th, the 45th President of the United States had been determined. This capped off the most expensive (if not one of the most expensive) campaign seasons in history with a tab of nearly $6 billion. As millions of Americans waited with baited breath of concession and victory speeches that finally took place in the wee hours of the morning, many a fashionista was also playing particular attention to what Michelle Obama and Ann Romney were wearing. More than just a dress, the garment of choice by the First Lady of the United States and the woman who wanted to be, spoke volumes.

POLITICAL FASHION: AND SHE WORE TRACY REESE
No Comments on POLITICAL FASHION: AND SHE WORE TRACY REESE
Tonight, Michelle Obama dazzled the delegates at the Democratic National Convention with a rousing speech that spoke to her passion for her husband, military families, motherhood, the future and her love of her country. With New York Fashion Week beginning tomorrow, I wanted to just highlight the fact that she also showed her support to the American Fashion industry by wearing Tracy Reese. The First Lady has been an avid supporter of American designers from the moment she set foot on the national stage (and even before as she supported Chicago-area designers regularly at the many political functions she attended while in the role of a senator's wife).

Robbie Robertson Relives The Band's Live Prowess
Exclusive new clip teases killer footage from 1971 Academy Of Music shows box. Watch it now.
By StoriesDanny Eccleston September 24, 2013 Genre: 1970s, Genre: Americana, Live At The Academy Of Music 1971, Artist: Robbie Robertson, Genre: Rock'n'roll, Artist: The Band
RARELY SLOW TO BLOW his own trumpet, The Band's Robbie Robertson waxes lyrical upon the unique qualities of his legendary combo in this exclusive new clip heralding the release of their Academy Of Music box set. The box collects performances from the shows the group played at the New York venue on December 28, 29, 30 and 31, 1971, culminating in a guest spot from their former employer Bob Dylan, shows previously cherry-picked for their 1972 live album Rock Of Ages. In the clip, an interview with guitarist Robertson is intercut with filmed footage from the December 30 show that features on the DVD element of the 5-disc package. Marvelling at the performances – two discs of which have been remixed by Bob Clearmountain whilst two are the soundboard mixes – Robertson claims, "Nobody else had a group that had any similarity to this… With The Band, what made it The Band was that it was a real band."
The footage, shot by music-on-film mavens Howard Alk and Murray Lerner, is some of the best ever captured of The Band, but it very nearly failed to emerge, as Robertson explains in the sleevenote.
"It was just an experiment," writes Robertson, "because to do a full shoot at the Academy you had to set it up with the Unions. I think some Union guys even showed up and threatened to destroy our equipment and break cameras if it wasn't organized through them."
The Band's Live At The Academy Of Music 1971 [4CD/1DVD] is out now.

Why repetition of Benign Word (mantra) in meditation is a MUST ?
sitting comfortably in order to avoid unnecessary movements during Meditation.
Keep your head and back straight but be easy, relaxed and comfortable.
Lock your tongue and lips i.e., do not move your tongue and lips because Meditation is purely a mental process.
Now, inhale and exhale deeply about 10-15 times i.e. take deep breaths.
Now, close your eyes gently and comfortably (do not open your eyes till you complete the process of Meditation).
Now, easily and comfortably focus the attention of your mind at the spot between the eyebrows (i.e., at the junction point of nose and eyebrows) and REPEAT the word " SHAANTIHI " again and again only mentally, without moving tongue and lips, with simple and easy concentration, for about THIRTY minutes.
Come out of Meditation after 30 minutes and slowly get into your activities.
NOTE: Meditation is nothing but mental repetition of a chosen benign word of high cosmic vibration, with closed eyes, without moving tongue and lips, with simple and easy concentration.
Those who find it difficult to meditate for 30 minutes at a stretch, may meditate for 5 minutes in the first week; 10 minutes in the second week; 15-20 in the third week and gradually accomplish 30 minutes duration.
The word "SHAANTIHI" in the languages of the orient has a very deep meaning. The rough translation of this word into English is "PEACE". But in the orient it depicts the very nature of the UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS which is essentially Absolute Peace and Bliss.
Translating the word "SHAANTIHI" to any other language MAY NOT produce the same effects like "SHAANTIHI".
Meditation on the word "SHAANTIHI" produces a very high cosmic vibratory frequency which gradually quells the disturbances and obstacles at physical, mental and spiritual levels and unfolds the experience of the nature of the UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS.
Further, the use of this pure positive and benign word in Meditation very gradually erases or quietens the six fold negative traits in man. The six fundamental negative traits in man are, desire, anger, selfishness, arrogance (egoism), infatuation (attachment) and jealous.
In Meditation, as you focus the attention of your mind at the spot between the eyebrows and repeat the word "SHAANTIHI" only mentally, innumerable thoughts relating to day-to-day life or otherwise may arise not only shifting the attention of your mind from the word of Meditation but also disturbing your concentration. Don't worry, it is a natural phenomenon. Just bring back the mind, focus it again at the spot between the eyebrows and continue your repetition of the word "SHAANTIHI". Again there may be shifting of your attention by thoughts. It does not matter. Again bring back your mind on to the word of Meditation and continue your repetition. This may happen several times in each Meditation but don't get perturbed. In course of time, not only will the intensity of thoughts come down but there will also be an increase of concentration in Meditation. Remember, thoughts in Meditation are NOT AT ALL a disturbance in Meditation but only an integral part of it indicating the purification of different layers of the mind that is going on in Meditation.

Picked up this little cracker in New York. From the Tarte Lip Surgence range this gem is in the shade 'Fiery' and I just can't resist a bright red!
This has been described by Tarte as a 'lip tint' but I would say it feels more like a lipstick rather than a tint. With it's super hydrating formula your lips feel moisturised and soft. The matte finish is gorgeous and the colour sticks around for ages. It has a minty smell and taste, feels a little tingly on application leaving the lips feeling plump.
The lip surgence products definitely sit lovely on the lips, sometimes lipsticks can leave a cracked appearance over time but this one hasn't thus far.
I love Tarte products and picked up a few when I was in Sephora. I am not sure if you can get them over here yet, however, if you know different, please do let me know.
Have you tried Tarte's Lip Surgence range?
I think QVC has started to stock tarte. I brought the blusher in New York this year and love it!
The color looks really pretty on you! Never tried those before, they sound amazing though!
This is superpretty, looks very chique on you!
