Our QVC 20th anniversary celebrations are already well underway with lots of things planned in the run-up to the actual birthday on 1st October. This week we are marking the occasion with a specially commissioned Today's Special Value ring to kick off Diamonique Day on Friday.
The ring is designed by yours truly in collaboration with our senior Diamonique buyer, Emily, and I must confess I was thrilled to be asked for my ideas, even though I have no ability to draw!
The design is centred around a 93-facet, one-carat solitaire to mark the fact that QVC first went 'on air' in 1993. Unlike a brilliant cut, which can be cut by machine, this 93-facet stone has to be cut by hand and requires a high level of expertise from the lapidary.
There are further smaller stones on the shoulders flanking the centrepiece. The gallery alludes to 20 years of QVC with a soft 2 leading into a 0, which we then mirrored to create almost a heart shape but it is not too obvious.
The piece is part of our Epiphany platinum-clad range, as platinum is the metal to celebrate a 20th anniversary, and we also decided to offer it in a simulated emerald option, as well as the clear, because emerald celebrates 20 years too. Coincidentally emerald is also the birthstone for May so it could be a personal birthday treat if you have a birthday this month.
Both Emily and I wanted the ring to have a look of high-end real diamond and I hope you will agree that we achieved it when Dale and I launch the TSV at midnight on Thursday.
So what else am I celebrating on this week's blog? Well, after an absence of eight years, my football team Crystal Palace are back in the Premier League by winning a very tense play-off final at Wembley on Bank Holiday Monday after the game went to extra time.
We had seats behind the goal but they were used very little during the course of the afternoon as we were all on our feet singing and urging our 'red and blue army' on to victory. It was the final game in a Palace shirt for Wilfred Zaha who has signed for Man Utd but what a way to bow out. He has spent ten years with CPFC and is a product of our prolific academy where, I am proud to say, my son is now a coach.
We drove to Wembley and, en route, stopped at a set of traffic lights to see Jo Brand in the car alongside us, another Palace supporter on her way to Wembley. As luck would have it she pulled into the car park just after us and I was able to grab this picture (left).
It is hard to imagine that just three years ago our club almost ceased to exist so a big thank you to Steve Parish, Steve Browett, Martin Long and Jeremy Hosking for 'saving' Crystal Palace and giving us the opportunity for this wonderful day out.
I wasn't out until the early hours partying as the following morning I had a hospital appointment for the results of a recent blood test. I can report that my Professor at UCH is very pleased with my progress and that the medication is continuing to work well – thanks so much for all your well wishes over the last couple of months, it really does help to know that you are there.
All in all a fabulous week so far…who knows? Maybe the Presenter team will win the QVC pub quiz on Thursday.
It's great to hear your news about your health and was good to see your last post about the charity swim.
Your ring looks really special a great celebration of 20 years. Can you ask the buyers to do some men's rings would love to see a Diamonique ring for guys?
Well well well Julia to quote you froma few weeks ago in reply to me! How good was that for CPFC… I know I'm now biased because I'm almost an adopted Eagle now but it was well deserved in the end. How cool was the old man Kevin Phillips?! Bet you were a bundle of nerves before he stepped up. Gives us Rangers fans a lot of hope seeing where Palace were and where you guys will be next season. Do you reckon Zaha may be loan out again next season from Man U to Palace? Holloway mentioned that after the game but wasnt sure how serious he was. There needs to be a lot of additions I think to the current squad but the CPFC have a lot of money after that game. Exciting times ahead. Not so quite exciting for us but we have made a few signings and are getting ready for stage 2 in our comeback.
More importantly than he football its great to hear that your medication is working well and you are progressing steadily.
I am also a Palace fan and was at Wembley on Monday, behind the goal! What an amazing day, I am still recovering!
I love the ring and shall be watching on Thursday at Midnight, just happens my birthday is in May!!
Great news that your results are good, I wish you well.
Great design Julia. As I (Mila) have a May birthday it will be doubly essential, or maybe even triple-y necessary as it's also part of 20 years of QVC.
hope you stay this way,thinking of you.
I am so pleased that your medication is working well and offer prayers that this may continue to be the case for as long as it is needed. You are such a beautiful person who does not deserve this but then again I am a believer that only the strong are given things difficult to cope with and that is definitely you Julia.
From what I have seen of your ring it looks stunning. A lot of work must go into designing something like that.
Glad to hear the news from your recent blood test was good. Hope it continues that way.
And your football team are doing well.
Like the photo of you and Jo Brand, I like her, she is very funny, does not care what she says does she.
Good luck with the Pub Quiz and your Lillies.
I meant to ask you the other day when you were talking about your cat, how is your Mum's cat, I believe she had a lovely tabby cat.
Anyway take care, and have a super day with your TSV.
Wow, haven't you been a busy girl lately, what with organising your sponsored swim and designing a ring…what next?
Sorry not been on much lately, but been really stressed out with a few things, which are still going on at the moment, but on the up side, a few blogs ago I mentioned my morning smoothie drink. Well a lot of the ingredients are anti-inflammotry and whilst I'm still awaiting to have the metal out of my leg (yet another story!) it sppears that the smoothie has been working wonders, not that I'm making any claims etc.
I have a lot less swelling around the ankle and more flexibility to the point where we went shopping in Chester at the weekend and Chris said I was walking better than I had ever done since my accident, which is a good thing because usually after a short distance my ankle aches and I start limping a bit.
I did send Marjolein an email about the pull-up bar for the AeroPilates machine and she very quickly responded and after a phone call, followed by emails I have one on waitlist…hopefully in time for my Birthday.
I will write to you shortly (our Birthdays approaching) and sponsor your swim too! Hope the training is going well.
Good luck with the TSV tonight with the 'Silver Fox'!
Hi Julia , you look stunning as always. Take care and do not over work. Your Diamonique Ring looks Fab I have a 65th Birthday may ask hubby to purchase for me as an extra hahaha! Us girlies never have enough bling .
Hi Julia, I'm looking forward to Diamonique day tomorrow – the ring is lovely.
So pleased that it was good news on your test results – a weight off your mind I'm sure.
I was thinking about you on Monday when it was the Play Offs and glad that Palace won. You will be joining our team Hull City in the Premier League. We were in the Play offs in 2008 and I was lucky enough to go with my son. It was a fab day so I know what you were going through and thankfully we won too which makes all the difference! We were on a high for days!!
Do you remember your first diamonique purchase?
I am so happy for you that Crystal Palace made it, they and you (and their other loyal fans) really deserved it. But above all else I am thrilled that you are making good progress with the doctors, I was only saying to my son this week how well you are looking!
Best wishes as always to you and your loved ones.
P.S. The book is brilliant!
I, my son and grandson are ardent C.P supporters and sit in the upper tier of the Holmesdale stand, in fact my grandfather took me to Palace some 66 years ago!!!
My Grandson Tom is currently studying Sports Jounalism at Farnham Univerisity and was lucky enough to sit in the press box for Palace v Burnley game and attended the post match interview with both managers.
However enough about me, we are so pleased to hear you are progressing well with your recent health issues.
Have ordered the ring in emerald, it looks fab, well done. I missed out on the earrings, was too late.
Congrats to your team they did well.
I will ask the buyers about doing a 20 year celebration ring for the guys – maybe Charlie or Dale could help design it.
I thought you would be pleased for Crystal Palace – as you say you are an adopted 'eagle' ! I was a terrible coward not being able to watch the penalty as it went in but I have seen it several times since and how cool was that? He didn't even look up and against the team that gave him his first pro job!
We will obviously have to sign a striker as Murray is out for half the season and strengthen a bit but we have a good nucleus and people shouldn't underestimate us. I' m not keen on having Wilfy back on loan not because I don't think he is a fabulous player but because I really think he is good enough to make it at Man Utd and it would be better to finish his association with us on an absolute high!
A fellow Crystal Palace Supporter here – thrilled of course that we are up now in the premiership – did you manage to get a ticket for Wembley? Now wondering who we will play in our first match? probably Manchester United!
It took me ages to come down from cloud nine and I am still getting my head round the thought of playing the likes of Man Utd and Chelsea, especially if Mourinho is back ….. surreal! Roll on June 19th when the fixture lst comes out.
I wonder if you went for the simulated emerald TSV – if so I hope you like it.
I think the test results put everything into perspective but I am still over the moon with Palace's promotion – I think I was grinning in my sleep on Monday night!
Thanks so much for your continued support, I really believe that all the love from QVC fans since I revealed my illness has had a positive effect and as long as the medication keeps working the future is looking more rosy.
Well maybe the pub quiz was a step too far ….. we came a creditable joint third out of seven teams but it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening! Don't tell the others but one of my lilies has stuck it's head out of the soil sshhh!
My mum's cat, Tabby, is very well – she was a bit on the 'tubby' side a few months back but Mum has had her on a stricter diet so she is almost back to normal size now and she is fabulous company for Mum.
I was very pleased with the way the ring turned out particularly as I can't draw at all and neither could our buyer Emily so it was all down to describing what we wanted.
Sorry to hear you've had some stress going on lately – not ideal when you still have your health issues! I think food is underestimated regarding our health – spinach, eggs and dark chocolate all seem to be helping my haemoglobin levels! Glad that your 'magic smoothies' are working.
You know me I like keeping busy – still house hunting too and trying to find time to get stuck into writing my next book, but priority has to be the swimming gala for the next few weeks. I haven't been doing any additional sessions in the pool just trying to swim a few more lengths of the 17 metre pool each time …. managed 100 last session so will try for 110 next time as the gala pool is 25 metres ….. eek! Still it's just the once and at least it is something I can do to help raise money for the charities – thanks for offering to sponsor me.
Thanks for the compliment – funny you should mention not over-working, I was so tired yesterday after a run of 8 days working out of 9, and my day off spent at Wembley, that I had to have an afternoon nap! I have a 10 day break coming up starting on my birthday which I am looking forward to.
Hope you enjoyed Diamonique Day – I thought there were some lovely new styles.
Well done to your team for winning promotion this season too ….. I guess we are both relegation favourites so let's hope our teams can prove the sceptics wrong!
Thanks for the congratulations for Crystal Palace – you probably enjoyed the game more than me ……. I was very tense particularly when it went to extra time! I wonder who our first game back in the Premier League will be against – we'll find out on June 19th!
Thanks also for the compliment – have days when the meds cause puffiness around my eyes but mostly I can cover it with make-up although I have had a few comments about looking tired – the least of my concerns!
I hope you enjoyed Diamonique Day? I am guessing you probably added a few pieces to your already huge collection! My first piece was a tennis bracelet in 14ct gold, my Christmas present in 1994, which I still have and I still wear. I am not a fan of big jewellery normally but I must agree with you regarding Ali Young's ring – I really like it. Did you get the TSV? I thought it looked very real and I loved the fact that it was a special 93 facet cut to celebrate the year we first broadcast.
It was a relief that my results were so good – always a tense time waiting! And Palace lifted my spirits even more …… what a great few days!
Wasn't the atmosphere amazing at Wembley! It has been such a long wait to get back into the Premiership that it has hardly sunk in yet – incredible! When they showed the shot of Delaney crying on the big screens I started crying too.
My season ticket for years was Players Lounge, but I now mostly go with my son on his Coaches tickets, although we occasionally get to sit in a box. Very excited for next season.
Things seem to be progressing well on the earth front – next UCH visit not until mid July.
I'm so pleased you ordered the ring – I hope you love it when you get it home!
The Palace boys deserved the win at Wembley – I was very very proud of their team effort!
It was a very positive result and such a relief to know the drugs are doing their thing!
Glad you liked the look of the TSV ring – I thought it looked very 'real'.
Thanks Julia for your message,yes we had a great weekend with our son and family,but ok course there is always one fly in the ointment ,got caught in the 4 hour shut down on the Monday morning in the M4 ,but home safe and sound now,there but for the grace of god etc.
You looked gorgeous on the Diamonique TSV launch show. That green dress/top? really suited you. In fact, I'm being a copy cat again and am going to look for something in that colour. As you know, our colouring is similar. I only caught 15 mins or so of the repeat show whilst having my breakfast. You seemed to be having lots of fun with Mr Handsome Devil!!
The ring was lovely but I'm not much of a ring wearer to be honest. I love your idea to do that DKNY watch in diamonique though! I think that would be a definite purchase for me!
Glad to see Elemis with three contenders in the Beauty Awards. No prizes for guessing who I have voted for!
Have a lovely birthday if I don't 'speak' before.
Glad to hear the swimming is going great, adding a few more lengths each time, but what do you do to pass the time now that you have done '100 lengths of the pool'?
Still house hunting, it takes something really special to catch your eye and it has to be right.
Had a few more levels added to the stress counter yesterday…went shopping, stopped off at the village Post Office, got back in my car and it died on me! I wasn't so much concerned for me, but the bags of groceries in the boot. The lady from the Post Office would have offered me a lift home, but somebody had blocked her in, then a neighbour from further up the village arrived and offered to take me and my shopping home, which was really nice of her. My little car is in hospital being fixed (hopefully), you don't realise how much you miss it until it's gone, although I can't complain, it's 11 years old and has never let me down before, I think it's more to do with the electrics, there was plenty of life in the battery. Anyway, here's hoping it's nothing too expensive!
Going to find the link to sponsor you now!
Yes I was at Wembley and so glad I was – what a fabulous and overdue day for our club.
Not long to wait for the fixture list now … just two weeks to wait. Hoping our first game will be at Selhurst Park – not really too fussed who it's against just glad to be there!
I do quite like the 'special one' but disappointed we won't be seeing Mancini at Selhurst Park – fixtures out in two weeks ….. exciting times!
That dress was a really old one from Karen Millen with a matching cardie – I thought it went nicely with the emerald version of the TSV ring.
I think I can guess who you will be voting for in the Customer Beauty Awards!
Did I already thank you for the donation for my charity swim? If not thanks! I went swimming today – 114 lengths of a 17 metre pool so just under 2km – the charity swim is 2.5km so a little way to go yet! If you are wondering why I stopped at such a random number it's because it took me an hour ….. guessing it will be about an hour and a quarter on the day! …… wrinkly fingers and cramp in my toes but hopefully it will be worth it.
how are you iam well.
iam off work for 2weeks having anice lazy holiday.
doing absolutely nothing .weather wise not bad sunny.i am not very happy our local radio station lost another dj due to saving money on wages eventually like all sations it will be all networked cheaper to pay I dj than 5 bad times the station is northsound 2 in Aberdeen been on air since july 1981 when one station.did you ever work at aradio sation as adj Julia.
Sorry to hear about the drama with your car …… it never rains but it pours! Hope you get it fixed ok!
Thanks for sponsoring me – the total is rising nicely and still 4 weeks to go.
So pleased to hear your 5 year check was clear and really glad you still gave your breast cancer nurse her goody bag …. very thoughtful of you.
Was so relieved to get good results this time but always acutely aware that the drugs need to keep working – I'm hoping remission won't be too far away.
How lucky have you been with the weather! I hope you made the most of it and spent plenty of time in the sunshine?
It's a shame that technology allows 1 DJ to cover so many stations – the local shows lose their localness! I only worked in radio briefly for a local station called Eclipse FM based in Sutton in Surrey. I hosted The Palace Programme about my team Crystal Palace.
You are doing very well with your swimming, afraid I'm like your Chris, I got knocked over by a big wave when I was little and can still see the seaweed floating past my face now…put me off for life LOL!
Good news, the car is only going to cost a few pounds, the fuse had blown to the fuel pump, so it wasn't getting any juice! Unfortunately though, had to call the Vet out yesterday to Bobby, he was trying to be sick with nothing coming out and was very distressed…now that did cost a bit more!!! He's much better today, more himself again.
If we don't speak before, hope you have a wonderful Birthday (choccie cake?) and Good Luck with the house viewing!
hope sophie got on well on Saturday hope your chris and dan is well and yourself how is your illness are you still taking your tablets hope they are helping. my 2weeks holiday has went nice and slowv but I still have 2local radio stations that I can still listen to all 2 24 hours locally they are small stations and they are their own iam not afan of the sun for the 2oth bday in October will you be wearing your blue jacket .will katy john and paul lavers and maybe kara triton and jon briggs will they maybe make an appearance live on 1st of October I hope the bosses give you anice present and abig bday cake.

Factors that could increase or decrease the pay scale include word count, research, interviewing an expert, and more.

The trick? Cancel the noise and get to the real meat and potatoes, so to speak.
Hi reader in the U.S., this Sunday we need your help. As you probably know, unpaid volunteers contribute virtually all the content on Wikipedia. They write and edit because they want to contribute to knowledge. Nevertheless, the technology necessary to keep this service fast and reliable costs money to support. Would you be willing to make a donation in return for what Wikipedia has provided to you?
Whether you want to become your own boss, start a side hustle, or earn extra money on the side, any of the strategies listed above can help. By finding ways to increase your income, you can free up more cash to pay down debt, save for the future, or invest for retirement. Saving money is only half of the equation. And if you truly want to get ahead, you might want to figure out how to make money – and hopefully, lots of it.
"Working from home tends to be a win/win for people who are well-organized. These are people who can set goals and objectives and stick to those schedules," Cavaiola says. "You take somebody who's a bit disorganized, that would probably be really difficult for them because they're just not used to setting goals and working toward goals, and being able to organize their time well."
However, not matter what method you choose to make money online, understand that you might be able to make some money fast, but for the sizable returns, you'll need significant sweat equity. However, a year from now, you'll be happy you started today. Remember, time is far more valuable than money. Focus on creating passive income streams that will free up your time so that you can quit the rat race and focus on the things that matter. That's the important thing here.

On the Streaming Songs chart, the track stayed at number 5 with 15.8 million streams, a decrease of 2 percent.[67]
If you're looking to address some immediate financial needs, then the app economy is likely right for you. Thanks to the global sharing phenomenon, launched in part by our smartphones and ever-burgeoning global connectivity, you could easily opt for some quick active income by using well-known apps. From ride sharing to deliveries and even quick tasks, there's an app for that today, as the saying goes.
Another suggestion for passive income is refinancing your mortgage. Imagine, for example, that you're making monthly mortgage payments of $1,500 now and can reduce that to $1,200 per month by refinancing your home loan at a lower interest rate. That will let you keep $300 in your pocket each month. Of course, refinancing isn't free -- there are closing costs -- and you'll start the clock ticking on a new loan (typically of 15 or 30 years) when you refinance.
You'll also need ecommerce software, fulfillment software, worry about warehousing, customer service, refunds and so on. But that's not all. You'll also need traffic. Think search engine optimization, Facebook ads, and other social media campaigns. Sound like a lot of work? Sure, it is. Especially if you do it all on your own. You could opt for Amazon's platform, which might be the easier route. But, then again, at the end of the day, this is a serious business, which could produce significant profits. So you're either all in or you're not.

I recommend having a few regular weekly activities so you have some set social interactions to look forward to. For instance, I go to the same Pilates class every Sunday, and I know the other regulars. I go to a weekly happy hour. You could also attend a weekly trivia night, or join a skeeball league, or take a Spanish class, just to fill up your calendar. You may have to beg your friends to get dinner with you the rest of the time, but if they bail, at least you've got your standing commitments.

On May 24, 2010, the Senate passed the Telework Enhancement Act (S. 707) sponsored by Sens. Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii) and George Voinovich (R-Ohio). The bill grants Federal employees eligibility to telework and requires Federal agencies to establish telework policies and identify telework managers.[105] On July 14, 2010, the House passed the Telework Improvements Act of 2010 (H.R. 1722) with a vote of 290-131. The U.S. Senate passed the final version of the legislation by unanimous consent on September 29, 2010 and the House passed it with a bipartisan vote of 254-152 on November 18, 2010.[106] On December 9, 2010 President Obama signed H.R. 1722, the Telework Enhancement Act of 2010, into law.[107] The Telework Enhancement Act of 2012 provided a framework for U.S. agencies to offer teleworking as a viable option to employees. By increasing the number of employees who telework, the Telework Enhancement Act has three main objectives. (1) Improve continuity of operations, (2) Promote management Effectiveness and (3) Enhance work-life balance.[108]

Telecommuting has long been promoted as a way to substantially increase employee productivity. A working-from-home-related experiment conducted using 242 employees of a large Chinese travel agency by professors at Stanford and Beijing University found that employees randomly assigned to work at home for 9 months increased their output by 13.5% versus the office-based control group. This improvement in output arose from working 9% more hours from saved commuting time and from 3.5% improved efficiency from quieter working conditions. The study also found that home-workers reported significantly higher job-satisfaction scores and their quit rates fell by almost 50%. However, home workers' promotion rates dropped by half due to apparent performance declines, indicating a potential career cost of home-working.[69]
What I found was that I could make decent money just by filling out online surveys for an hour or so, everyday. It was surprisingly easy since I could do them while chatting on Facebook or after my kids went to bed, so I figured I would give it a month and see how much I could earn. At the end of the month, I was so excited when my first check came in the mail for $638.28!
What's more, it's time to get those list-making muscles in working order. Without face-to-face communication, it's easy to let things slip through the cracks, so you'll need to find ways to be as organized as possible. You might find that you like to write things down in a notebook, or perhaps you prefer calendar notifications. Find what works best for you to keep you organized and on task.
Creating space for banner ads on your website is another way to generate a revenue from adverts. However, for this type of advertising, you will need to contact businesses directly and ask them if they would like to advertise on your website. The upside is that you can charge a set amount, or even a recurring monthly fee, to business to promote their services on your site. Using a WordPress plugin like AdSanity is an effective way to manage this type of advertising.
Ask for a raise. If you're unhappy with your compensation at your 9-5 job, asking for a raise is one way to beef up your bank account. Most employers offer an annual review of your work – which could be the perfect time to negotiate a higher salary or ask for better perks. If your employer doesn't offer such an opportunity, it might be time to initiate a review yourself.
"To hackers who make a living stealing information from unsecured computers and network connections, the teleworker could be an open the door to the organization's most sensitive data. Security and privacy have become increasingly rare commodities these days thanks to the ability of hackers to stay one step ahead of just about every security measure that technicians can create. Security breaches are a significant enough threat in a standard office environment; however, when an organization has employees working from home or on the go, these risks become even greater.

Сучжоу () — річка у Китаї, протікає через Шанхай.

Сучжоу витікає з озера Тай. Довжина річки становить 125 км, з них 54 протікає через муніципалітет Шанхай і 24 км через Пусі. Сучжоу впадає в річку Хуанпу у північній частині набережної Вайтань.

Річка відігравала велику роль в історії міста. Після підписання Нанкінського договору у 1842 році Шанхай став великим міжнародним портом. По річці Сучжоу пролягав кордон між Британською концесією та Американським сеттлментом. В 1930-х роках понад Сучжоу розташовувалися фабрики та заводи, також в неї зливалися стічні води, що призвело в майбутньому до забруднення річки.

The Amalfi Coast is followed by the street that reaches out on the whole of the Gulf of Amalfi and that reaches from the peninsula of Sorrent to Salerno. It is, maybe, the part of the coast in the whole of Campania where the settlements perfectly harmonize with the beauty of the landscape: the range of the Monti Lattari (Lattari mountains) lies directly on the sea and forms an indented coast line with many outreaching cliffs and coves. In this part of the world the gardens of the villages cohabit with a natural and typical vegetation of the Mediterranean area, a huge part of which is still untouched. Whoever sees this wonderful part of Italy with rich history, culture and folklore, popular sayings and gastronomical traditions is for sure going to be fascinated.

The environmental impacts associated with catching and farming fish commercially affect the health of our oceans, fisheries, communities and economies around the world.
The fishing and aquaculture industries are incredibly diverse, and the environmental issues highlighted here are not a problem in every fishery or fish farm' but all do occur as a result of some seafood produced for the UK market.
Commercial capture fisheries
Improved technology, increasing demand and poor management mean that fish populations can come under very heavy fishing pressure and become depleted, or even collapse completely. The fish vulnerable to overfishing include certain stocks of popular species such as cod and tuna and long-lived, slow-to-mature species such as sharks and deep-sea fish.
The interconnected ocean
The environmental issues outlined here can have indirect impacts as well. These may be wide-ranging and often unpredictable, affecting ocean life through food availability, competition between species and predator-prey interactions.
Habitat damage
Fishing gear that is heavy or large can harm the environment while catching fish. Some fishing methods, such as dredging and bottom trawling, impact the sea-floor habitat. In areas with sensitive, bottom-living species, such as deep-sea corals, fishing gear can cause long-term damage.
Bycatch of vulnerable species
Wildlife such as albatrosses, sharks, dolphins, turtles and porpoises can be caught and injured or killed by fishing methods, putting pressure on the survival of these already vulnerable populations.
Many marine animals that are caught unintentionally by fisheries lack economic value' they may be too small to sell legally or are unpopular commercial species. These animals are sorted from the profitable catch and discarded back into the water, often dead or injured. While the populations of these bycatch species may not be threatened, the number of individual animals unintentionally killed can be large in some fisheries and this impacts on the marine food web. Discarding can also occur when fishermen have filled their catch allowance (quota) for a particular species.
Fishing gear lost in the water or left behind by fishermen can kill considerable numbers of marine animals. Modern synthetic material does not biodegrade and gear lost, discarded or unchecked by fishermen can continue to catch fish, sharks and other animals indefinitely. Though now banned, drift netting on the high seas continues illegally and ghost fishing from these nets is a conservation concern
Get updates on Sustain's work
Commercial fish farming
Fish feed
Farming carnivorous species, including salmon and prawns, requires large inputs of fish-feed composed largely of fishmeal and fish oil made from wild-caught fish. This demand for fish-feed places pressure on the wild fish used to make it. Vegetable protein, such as soy, can also be used in fish-feed. In some parts of the world soy, and other land based protein crops, are produced in an environmentally damaging way.
Waste from fish-feed and faeces can pollute the water and seabed around intensive fish farms leading to poor water and sediment quality. Chemicals and pesticides (used in some fish farming to control parasites and disease) can also contaminate the area and impact surrounding marine life.
Parasites and the spread of disease
Farmed fish infected with diseases or parasites can spread these to their wild counterparts, affecting the health of wild populations near fish farms. One notorious example is sea-lice parasites from high-density farmed salmon harming juvenile wild salmon in the surrounding water systems.
Escapees impacting wild fish populations
Farmed fish, such as Atlantic salmon, can sometimes escape and interbreed with wild fish populations. The farmed fish are not genetically adapted to the surrounding environment; as a result any hybrid offspring have reduced chances of survival. Escapees can also compete with wild fish for food and resources, adding pressure to the wild populations.
Sensitive natural habitats are sometimes converted into fish farms and this can have dramatic environmental implications. For example, historically, significant damage to delicate coastal habitats such as mangrove forests was well documented when establishing tropical prawn farms. This damage resulted in loss of beneficial ecosystem functions including natural coastal flood-defences, nursery habitats for young fish and water filtration.
Pirate fishing
Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) or "pirate" fishing commonly refers to fishing operations that purposefully break the law and includes activities like illegal fishing gear, targeting species protected by law or fishing in prohibited areas. The main driver for pirate fishing activities is the enormous profit to be made in the seafood markets of Europe, North America and Asia. As a result IUU is a shady business that costs us globally between US $10-25 billion each year, and vessels particularly target poorer developing countries with limited ability to control their waters, stealing a crucial source of food and income. These vessels typically have poor fishing practices and the environmental issues of overfishing, habitat damage, bycatch and discards described here are particularly big problems in these illegal fisheries. While there have recently been steps in the right direction to address IUU, including the development of a European Regulation to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing and an international Port State Treaty, there are still issues to be addressed. The ongoing campaign to eradicate IUU fishing is being led by groups such as the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF), visit www.ejfoundation.org to find out more and get involved.

A Hunger Strike in Washington is Shining a Light on the Shady Practices of Private Prisons
By Jason Rhode | April 14, 2017 | 12:38pm
Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Business Features Private Prisons
Surprising nobody, private prisons are the canker sore that keeps on giving. And receiving. The current wave of utterly justified scorn is coming from the west. A hunger strike is in its third day in Tacoma, Washington, at a for-profit Immigration and Customs Enforcement Jail. It's the second such hunger strike in three years against GEO Group, America's second-largest private prison company, which runs the lockup. According to Sam Knight at the District Sentinel:
More than 750 people are participating, according to supporters holding a demonstration at noon on Wednesday, in front of the Northwest Detention Center (NWDC). The rally is being held, in part, to see if the hunger strike will continue. Inmates began refusing meals at lunchtime on Monday, in protest over conditions at the privately-run prison. Specifically, they want speedier hearings, improved food and healthcare access, and lower prices at the prison's store.
According to Sara Bernard at Seattle Weekly, on Monday the total amount of strikers was at 275. That number has grown, and will likely grow.
The strikes were also started, according to Knight, because of working conditions at the NWDC. The prisoners are paid about one dollar a day for various jobs. Even there, allegedly, the detention center has taken their wages from them; replacing the dollar with a bag of potato chips.
According to the Latino Rebels Web site, the NWDC is the largest single ICE-detention facility on the West Coast. About fifteen-hundred immigrants in the middle of civil deportation are held there.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) contracts with the GEO Group, a multinational private prison corporations, to run the facility, and hunger strikers aimed their demands at both the federal government and the private contractor. The NWDC has been a frequent target of immigrant activists since a March 2014 hunger strike involving 1200 detainees first brought international notoriety to the immigration prison.
An associated protest group, NWDC Resistance, which the Seattle Times describes as a "group of immigration and Latino activists," has continued to rally outside the prison, in solidarity with the prisoners. The group frequently posts on Facebook. Recently, Resistance posted the hunger-strikers' list of demands, which began with the sentence (originally in Spanish):
"The motive that we write this is to ask you by favor that we all participate united, and on Monday April 10, 2017, from noon and on we will not eat, or use the phones, neither will we bunk up on the late night count or lights out."
The objectives, the strikers said—in a handwritten note—were to change the food, lower the cost of commissary food, better hygiene (clothes), more rec time, to bring school and other programs into the structure, better medical attention, increased wages for manual labor and faster court proceedings.
LOCK STEP BLUES
These demands echo those made during the last NWDC strike, back in 2014, which endured for fifty-six days and brought national awareness to the cause—and galvanized the Resistance into an active political force.
Mike Carter, writing for the Times, said that federal immigration officials were preparing to "invoke a hunger-strike protocol that could result in forced treatment of inmates who continue to refuse nourishment." The last time the NWDC strikers tried to stop eating, the detention center officials "put hunger strikers in solitary confinement," Bernard wrote.
Per the Weekly, the plan is to refuse food for at least three days, because otherwise
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) "won't recognize it as a hunger strike until they last 72 hours," says Maru Mora Villalpando, one of the lead organizers of NWDC Resistance, a grassroots advocacy group that grew out of the 2014 hunger strikes.
You will be surprised to learn, I am sure, that the GEO group has a history of conflict with both its "guests" and its own employees. In October 2016, Lael Henterly, writing for the Seattle Globalist, documented a protest of the GEO Group by workers there.
Mena [an attorney] said the corrections workers described the action as an "informational strike" and said that they were frustrated by low wages, inadequate training, mandatory overtime and a lack of sick days. The NWDC guards unionized in January, five years into a pay-freeze, and have received push-back from the company in recent months, Mena said.
This February, according to Betsy Woodruff at the Daily Beast, detainees of a GEO Group prison in Colorado sued the company. Per Woodruff:
The plaintiffs allege that the GEO Group forced detainees to work for extremely low wages or for no wages at all, and in some cases threatened detainees with solitary confinement as punishment if they refused to work. The center holds undocumented immigrants facing deportation.
According to the Globalist, "The 800,000 people employed in U.S. lockup facilities are at heightened risk for mental illness, substance abuse and suicide." Ansel Herz, in an article for The Stranger castigated the Gates Foundation for its financial investments in GEO Group, noted that of the "immigrant detainees" many of them had "no or modest criminal records."
A NEW GOLDEN AGE DAWNS
Immigration has been a favored hobgoblin of the Trump coalition since their inception. What did not begin with Trump is the national relish for locking away foreigners. Private prison, particularly for immigrant detainees, soared under the Obama Administration, only to be scaled back near the end of the President's second term, under public pressure.
In February, the Trump Administration's Justice Department declared they would keep private prisons in play for detaining undocumented immigrants. Donald Cohen, director of the advocacy group In The Public Interest, released a statement saying he was unsurprised by Trump's decision.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions, he said, was a private prison enthusiast. "As Alabama's attorney general, Sessions green lighted their use in the state, and shortly after the Obama Justice Department's original announcement, GEO Group—the country's second largest private prison company—hired two former Sessions aides as lobbyists." Trump's presidency would be a golden age of private prisons.
According to Ana Sofia Knauf in an April 13 feature published in The Stranger, ICE does not view the action in its prison as a hunger strike:
Virginia C. Kice said the department is not recognizing the NWDC detainee's movement as such. Kice says some self-identified hunger strikers are still eating food purchased at the commissary. "We don't have a hunger strike," she said. "We have people refusing meals."
In their letter, the striking detainees at NWDC concluded by saying: "Because it is not just for them to treat out the way they want without them respecting our rights! And if we speak up we don't speak up we'll always be the same."

Q: Unity can't resolve type, when resolving in a different module I'm currently working on a PRISM app with the unity container and a WCF service.
In the module(with the WCF proxy) I register a ChannelFactory for the WCF client as follows:
InstanceContext instanceContext = new InstanceContext(new TradingPlatformCallback());
unityContainer.RegisterType<DuplexChannelFactory<IGenericTradingInterface>, DuplexChannelFactory<IGenericTradingInterface>>(
    new ContainerControlledLifetimeManager(),
    new InjectionConstructor(
        instanceContext,
        "NetNamedPipeBinding_IGenericTradingInterface"));

DuplexChannelFactory<IGenericTradingInterface> factory = unityContainer.Resolve<DuplexChannelFactory<IGenericTradingInterface>>();

factory.Open();
IGenericTradingInterface test = factory.CreateChannel();
test.GetServerInformation();
factory.Close();

Now, everything is working fine, so I decided to use this ChannelFactory in another module.
Here's the Initialize method of the module:
var test = unityContainer.Resolve<DuplexChannelFactory<IGenericTradingInterface>>();
test.Open();

var test2 = test.CreateChannel();
test2.GetServerInformation();
test.Close();

So this code is exactly the same as that of the other module, except the missing registration.
When running this, I get the following exception:
Exception is: InvalidOperationException - The type DuplexChannelFactory`1 has mu
ltiple constructors of length 3. Unable to disambiguate.

It seems to be a problem with the resolving and the Ctors of the ChannelFactory, but why can unity resolve the factory in the first module and not in this one?
I also do not understand this exception message, since I thought to have called a specific Ctor in the registration with:
new InjectionConstructor(
                instanceContext,
                "NetNamedPipeBinding_IGenericTradingInterface")

Any ideas?

A: You don't show how (or whether) the unity container is shared across modules.  Based on your variable name ("unityContainer"), I'm guessing it's a local variable within the module?  That means you have two separate container instances, each of which would require registration.

A: It turns out that the problem was the order of module initialization. The second module was called first and so Unity takes the CTor with the most parameters and DuplexChannelFactory has at most 3 and many of them. Thanks, Juergen

Book Review: The Imperialist War on Libya
Posted by MLToday | Aug 12, 2013 | Books, Arts and Culture | 0
The Imperialist War on Libya: Global NATO and the Catastrophic Failure in Libya by Horace Campbell. Monthly Review Press, 2013. 320 pages
In Global NATO and the Catastrophic Failure in Libya, Horace Campbell exposes the role of the NATO countries in the attack, occupation and destruction of Libya.
This book provides useful material, given that a segment of the peace movement that opposed the war on Iraq supported US intervention in Libya (e.g. Juan Cole), while a larger segment sat on their hands and did nothing. Anti-imperialists can make use of the material to combat imperialist propaganda of a popular uprising followed by "humanitarian" intervention, believed by too much of the "Left."Â
NATO's attack on Libya was not aimed at saving lives in Libya, but at taking control of its oil, turning the country into a neocolonial regime, and destroying much of its modern infrastructure. Libya not only has huge deposits of oil, but a vast underground sea of fresh water, and also had possessed up to $200 billion ready to be looted in overseas financial institutions. Campbell writes  the Libyan war also allowed the Western powers to regain ground lost in the Arab Spring of Tunisia and Egypt.
Direct NATO intervention took place under the guise of a "no fly zone" to protect civilians in Benghazi from Gaddafi's jets. However, even Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said there was no evidence whatsoever that Gaddafi used any aircraft to fire on civilians there. Yet Gaddafi was so demonized in the imperialist countries that he was depicted as being on the verge of committing genocide on his own people.
Campbell notes that the anti-Gaddafi protests by Libyan youth were hijacked by other groups, then later by NATO. One of these was the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, which included members that fought with the US against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.
Unfortunately, the book pays little attention to who was fighting the armed forces of Libya in the struggle to overthrow Qaddafi. We do not learn much on their origins, the scale of their forces, the source of their arms, their ideology. Nor are we informed of the reasoning and ideology of those who favored Qaddafi in the struggle.
NATO, despite its "humanitarian" intervention hokum, vetoed all ceasefires and negotiations, many proposed by the African Union, an organization which Gaddafi was instrumental in founding.  As a result. about 10 times as many died (30,000-50,000) as were allegedly to be saved. NATO carried out total of 9,700 bombing missions, or 150 a day, allegedly part of enforcing a "no fly zone." NATO combined this aerial war with 5000 troops on the ground from the puppet state of Qatar. (p.156)
Campbell recognizes different phases of Gaddafi's nationalist revolution.  From 1969-1977 the oil companies and banks were nationalized, the US military base was shut down, and the government took a number of anti-imperialist stands. The 1977-1988 period was one of increasing confrontation with the imperialist powers. From 1988-2001 Libya faced sanctions and was diplomatically isolated from the "West."Â
Then, "After September 11, 2001 Qaddafi and his sons worked hard to ingratiate themselves with the United States and Britain, and begged to make Libya an ally in the Global War on Terror."(p.50) During this period, 2003-2004, Libya paid a $2.7 billion in compensation to the 270 victims of the Lockerbie bombing, but accepted no responsibility.
Since 2001, Qaddafi opened the economy to Western imperialist penetration, euphemistically called "market reforms," but not at a pace pleasing to the US, Britain and France.  "The 'reforms' increased inequality and strengthened those social forces close to the ruling circles. Class differences deepened, leading to the alienation of the mass of the population. Trade unions did not benefit from the 'reforms.'" (p.60)
Unfortunately, Campbell does not elaborate here, nor explain many of the social and economic improvements to the lives of the Libyan people under Qaddafi rule. Not until his concluding chapter does he note, "Under the Gaddafi leadership, all students had access to higher education and Libya had the lowest infant mortality rate in Africa. A lower percentage of people lived below the poverty line in Libya than in the Netherlands. Libya had the highest Human Development Index of any country on the continent of Africa." (p.255) The book would have been more powerful had it detailed the improvements in the lives of the Libyan people under Gaddafi.
Of Gaddafi's moves into the imperialist orbit in his later years, Campbell quotes the Christian Science Monitor, 'Nearly 300 pages of documents, copied by Human Rights Watch from the offices of Libya's external security service, provide unprecedented detail about how the CIA and Britain's M16 worked closely to bring Libya 'on side' and turn a brutal regime from foe into friend…" (p.65).  Â
Gaddafi ended up being a major financer of Sarkozy's  electoral campaign, which did not stop Sarkozy from being a key champion of the "uprising" against Gaddafi. Campbell mentions the press statement that "Gaddafi was killed by a French secret serviceman on orders of Nicolas Sarkozy" (p.11)
France, since the time of the Algerian war, intervened in Africa more than any other imperialist power. "Without Africa's wealth, France would be a minor power with about as much influence as Austria." (p.94)
Why did the imperialist countries want to overthrow Gaddafi, given he was moving into their orbit? They wanted to counter Libya's domination of the Arab Banking Corp. and its leadership role in the African Union. Qaddafi, even while opening up Libya to the imperialist powers, was still blocking U.S. opportunities for investment in both Libya itself and in Africa as whole.
In Chapter 13, NATO in Libya as a Military Information Operation Campbell notes that Wikipedia showed how Western security agencies paid close attention to "the eccentricities of Gaddafi." These eccentricities were retooled as part of military information operations, and "proved as potent as the bombs raining down from NATO jets." (p.142) Â
As is standard practice, when the US/NATO decide to invade a country, the country's ruler is depicted as a "crazy dictator." Any information coming out of Libya and Africa during the war was considered propaganda, while any news coming out of NATO was considered information. Independent journalists did bring to light fake footage from a demonstration in India claimed to be in Tripoli's Green Square, as part of a "celebration" when the capital fell.
"Groups usually associated with European peace movements were particularly susceptible to this disinformation campaign that Europe was fighting for democracy and human rights in Libya." (p.149)  "What tipped the balance for the escalation of the war was the lack of unanimity among the peace and justice forces internationally." (p.126)
This statement, almost mentioned in passing, is worthy of at least a few chapters in this 21 chapter book. Later Campbell states, "The entire spectrum of what could be called the European left –social democrats, former communists, socialists, and environmentalists… gave political support to their governments" in the invasion. (p.149)
I think too much space is spent on the fall of General Petraeus, Libyan investments in Western educational institutions, and the killing of the US ambassador in Benghazi. Of the latter, "What was emerging was that the CIA was not merely conducting convert surveillance on the Islamists based in eastern Libya, but providing them with direct aid and coordinating their operations with the current war in Syria." (p. 217).
I do not agree with Campbell that the war on Libya a catastrophic failure. It is true that a report to the US Congress stated the level of insecurity in Libya is unprecedented, with over 1700 militias now operating.Â
However, I think for the imperialist countries, this disintegration of Libyan state power is a sign of success. There are other reasons for the imperialists to claim it a victory: one more center of anti-imperialist nationalism, however inconsistent, was removed; one more rich and independent Third World oil country has been destroyed, enabling the imperialist seizure of its oil.
In addition, the imperialists' disinformation campaign proved the Western anti-war movement to be rather gullible. And, one year after the rise of the Arab Spring, when the U.S. was initially on the defensive, it had turned the tables, and had regained the offensive.
Yet now that still another year has passed, the tables are turning against the Western powers, this time in Syria.

Check yourself in to BNSW events with new Networking App
This week we have come across the news of this fantastic app for Android phones that helps us with networking, found on 4NI.co.uk. By 'checking in' to an event we promote ourselves and find out who is attending and what they do. Currently working primarily in Northern Ireland we hope that the app takes effect over here, so we can all be checking ourselves into BNSW events!
NI Firm Launches Android Networking App
A local start-up business based at the Northern Ireland Science Park, Shhmooze, has announced the launch of its award-winning professional networking app for Android devices.
The app aims to bring networking into the digital age by using location-based technology to help professionals quickly connect with the right people in real-time during conferences and meetups.
Hundreds of millions of people attend conferences and meetups to network and make the crucial connections that can transform their business or career.
The Shhmooze app is said to allow delegates to use their mobile devices to 'check into' a business event, make themselves known, advertise their skills, and find the people they need or the people who need them quickly and easily.
To date Shhmooze has partnered with over 100 events including Learning Without Frontiers, Dublin Web Summit, and Mobile Monday and has helped delegates to quickly discover and connect with other professional in order to create valuable relationships.
Having enjoyed success in the iPhone market, Shhmooze won 'Best Irish App of the Year' at the 2010 Belfast App Circus and was selected as one of the world's '20 Best Mobile Apps of the Year' at the 2011 Mobile Premier Awards in Barcelona at this year's Mobile World Congress.
Shhmooze is a finalist for Best Mobile Startup in Europe at Techcrunch's The Europas.
The company has also beaten more than 600 other startups worldwide to become semi-finalist at LeWeb'11 Start-up Competition, Europe's premier tech event.
Cofounder of Shhmooze, Michelle Gallen said: "Our research has shown that networking is the top reason why people attend conferences but it's also what delegates find hardest to do.
"Shhmooze solves this problem and turns networking from an exhausting and gruelling process into a simple and effective experience.
"The Shhmooze app makes it really quick and easy to identify the persons you should really be talking. Our real-time messaging system makes arranging a face-to-face chat a breeze.
"The initial contact is also made a lot easier, as you already know from the information in the app, not only who you're talking to but also what their interests and experience are.
"Now that the app has launched on Android devices, the world's most popular smartphone platform, even more delegates can use Shhmooze to network. We're really excited at the opportunities that this opens for attendees and conference organisers alike."
The NISP Director of Corporate Real Estate and Facilities, Mervyn Watley said: "The Science Park is developing as real hub of social media activity with tenants taking advantage of the first-rate connectivity to launch and develop their businesses in the online industry.
"More and more hi-tech companies are relocating to the Science Park to take advantage of this fibre network which helps to keep local businesses at the cutting edge of new global technological opportunity."

Kollam Bypass () is a part of NH 66 that bypasses CBD of Kollam city in Kerala, India. The busy 13.141 km long bypass starts at Mevaram in the south to Kavanad in the north, via Ayathil, Kallumthazham, Kadavoor and Kureepuzha in Kollam city. It is a joint venture between the central and state government. It was inaugurated on 15 January 2019 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

History
Government of Kerala had proposed Kollam bypass project in 1972. The then Public Works Department minister Mr. T. K. Divakaran was the man behind Kollam bypass project. The earlier plan was to construct a bypass road through Kollam city via Olayil, Thevally, Vellayittambalam. But T. K. Divakaran denied that proposal and asked to re-draw the plan through Mevaram. Ayathil, Kallumthazham, Kavanad route and then mooted the bypass plan as per the new route. Later in 1993, a stretch of 3 km from Mevaram to Ayathil was completed and 1.5 km Ayathil-Kallumthazham stretch was completed in 1999 and the remaining Kallumthazham-Kavanad stretch completed in 2019. This stretch includes three bridges, five culverts, one vehicle underpass, and five major intersections, and needs to pass over the Ashtamudi Lake. The road includes a seven-metre two-lane carriageway, paved shoulders and earthen shoulders.

The importance of the Kollam bypass is that it touches 3 major National Highways(NH 66(Formerly known as NH 47), NH 183 (Formerly known as NH 220), NH 744 (Formerly known as NH 208)) passing through the state of Kerala.

The two-lane Kollam Bypass road was inaugurated on 15 January by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The road is witnessing heavy traffic congestion since its opening. In January 2019, the Government of Kerala and NHAI have decided to widen the road into 45 meters. As per the plan, Kollam Bypass would become a four-lane road with overbridges at Mevaram, Kavanad and underpassages at Ayathil, Kallumthazham and Kadavoor junctions.

Wide-plank wood paneling looks lovely with an off-white paint.
When using techniques that allow the current wood paneling stain to be visible, coordinate your paint color with the existing stain. If you're having a hard time visualizing your choices, stain a scrap piece of wood the same color as the paneling and paint swatches on it to make your final pick.
A quality paint job on wood paneling requires a fair amount of prep work. Begin by cleaning the walls thoroughly with mild detergent and water. This removes any grease, dirt or dust, ensuring primer and paint adhere well. Fill in nail holes with paintable caulk or wood putty, then sand it smooth with the rest of the wall once it is dry. If the wood paneling is very shiny, rough-sand the entire wall and wipe away the dust, then apply a top-quality stain-blocking primer to ready the walls if you're planning on a solid color. The stain-blocking element results in an even color after you apply the paint.
A solid paint color ties the wood paneling in with the rest of the room while allowing the grooved texture to peek through. A bright white, creamy beige or soft gray add a light quality to traditionally dark wood paneling, modernizing it without hiding it. If the paneling only is on one wall, consider turning it into an accent, painting it a different shade than the drywall surrounding it. Pale blue or other pastel in a room with white drywall works with a variety of decor styles. Bold red pays homage to classic barn siding in country-style homes or brightens a space filled with neutrals. For less contrast, paint the paneled wall the same shade as the rest of the room. This visually ties the room together while the grooves of the wood paneling set off the wall from the rest for a subtle accent.
Add texture to the room by distressing the paint after application. Between the grooves of the paneling and the two-tone effect created with the paint and wood stain underneath, this option turns the room's walls into a focal point. For this, skip priming but take your time with sanding. You don't have to remove the finish, just the shine. From there, apply a light coat of paint and let it dry. Go back in with a putty knife and being careful not to gouge the paneling, scrape away some of the paint. Put down drop cloths for easy clean-up. As an alternative, scuff the paint with coarse sandpaper. If you're worried about peeling paint down the road, top this with a clear, matte or satin protective finish.
Whitewashed wood paneling creates a rustic appeal without making the walls look like they're very old or in disrepair. Skip primer, and sand the walls well to ensure adhesion. Cut a paint color of your choice with 50-percent water and apply the solution to the walls with a clean paintbrush. Work in sections and wipe away any excess with a clean, lint-free rag as you go. While white is the most common choice -- hence the name -- this works with any color. A very soft gray-white, light blue or sunny yellow are all good choices.
Make the wall look almost like standard drywall with care, patience and wood filler. After you fill in the nail holes, go back and fill in each groove with wood filler. Once it's dry, and if the grooves are sufficiently filled, sand it smooth with the rest of the wall. If there's still an indentation, add another layer of wood filler, let it dry, then sand the wall. From here, sand away any shine, then prime and paint. The results are a slightly imperfect yet still stunning cover for wood paneling.

Q: How to Take whitespace in Input in C I wanted to take character array from console and it also include white spaces, the only method i know in C is scanf, but it miss stop taking input once it hit with white space. What i should do?
Here is what i am doing.
char address[100];

scanf("%s", address);

A: You can try something like this:
char str[100];
scanf("%99[0-9a-zA-Z ]s", str);
printf("%s\n", str);

A: Try using fgets().  It will read a complete line from a stream of your choice (stdin, I guess you're looking for).  An example for your case:
char address[100];

fgets(address, 100, stdin);

fgets() will read at most the number of characters passed in the second argument (minus one).  No buffer overflow, and you'll get the whole line up to and including a newline character (or up to EOF).  Note that since a maximum number of characters to read is one of the parameters, it is possible that you will get a partial line.  Check to see if the last character in the returned string is '\n', and you'll know you got a complete line.  EOF detection is pretty straightforward too; a NULL return value and a check to errno should help you out.
Thanks to Chris (below), for the point about partial lines.

A: There are ways to do it with scanf(), but in my humble opinion they get ugly fast. The common pattern (that surprisingly hasn't been mentioned yet) is to read the string in with fgets() and then use sscanf() to process it. sscanf() works like scanf(), only instead of processing the standard input stream, it processes a string that you pass to it (the same way printf() and sprintf() are related). The basics:
char s[100], str[100];
int i, x;
fgets(s, 100, stdin);
if(sscanf(s, "%d %x %s", &i, &x, str) != 3)
  {
    // our three variables weren't all set - probably an invalid string
    // either handle the error or set default values here.
  }

A: See fgets()

fgets() reads in at most one less than size characters from stream and stores them into the buffer pointed to by s. Reading stops after an EOF or a newline. If a newline is read, it is stored into the buffer. A '\0' is stored after the last character in the buffer.

char *fgets(char *s, int size, FILE *stream);

Further detail available in many SO questions, for example input-string-through-scanf.
(Due to popular demand, refrence to gets() was removed)

A: Personally I would use fgets, but that has been already pointed out here. One way of doiung it using scanf would be
scanf("%[^\n]", address);

This takes in all chars until a '\n' is found.

A: If you want to take input until new line using a dynamic array inside struct, this may be useful:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

struct student{
char *name;
};

int main()
{
        struct student s;

        s.name = malloc(sizeof(char *));

        printf("Name: ");
        // fgets(s.name, 10, stdin); // this would limit your input to 10 characters.

        scanf("%[^\n]", s.name);

        printf("You Entered: \n\n");

        printf("%s\n", s.name);
}

A: My style.
