Apple just launched the iPhone 7 duo and you know what that means! A price drop on the existing models. For those of you, who have been wanting to get their hands on the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus (which we would still prefer over the iPhone 7 since it at least has an earphone jack), this may be the right time.
The following is the run down of prices for the Apple handsets right form the iPhone 7 to the iPhone SE while the 6 and 6 Plus are being discontinued.
The iPhone 6s and the 6s Plus get their storage doubled while the iPhone SE gets the least love out of the bunch with absolutely no changed except for the price tag revision.
The price tag, however, does not ensure that the older iPhone variants will stay in production and may last only till stocks last, so pick yours up when you still can.

CEREMONIAL GRADE CACAO
We create our cacao on site and work hard to build a regenerative agroforestry system. By harvesting cacao beans, We are committed to rescuing the cacao criollo variety for others to experience its maximum benefits from the taste, texture, pleasure and its medicinal properties. Dalileo specializes in producing ceremonial grade cacao and single origin chocolate from our land nestled in the Sierra de las Minas mountain range in the Polochic Valley.
Ceremonial cacao is distinct. From the selection of the seeds to the environment where it is planted, from the fermentation to the roasting, the main intention is to produce a cacao with increased natural and beneficial properties. You will feel it...
We nurture cacao criollo trees that are harvested in a unique agroforestry system and provide cacao and chocolate to those who are looking for the essence of cacao made scarce by mass production.
Heirloom cacao means diversity, cross-pollination, and variety. We find this natural richness in every pod.
Once these heirloom cacaos grow and provide pods, we select each bean to bring back the cacao criollo. The careful selection filters out the white, cacao criollo, bean and separates them from the rest: the darker the pigment, the closer it is to the other varieties. The difference rolls off the tongue.
Our beans are toasted to perfection, thanks to our same dedication. Small-scale means easy to control and perfect. Our toasted grains capture the essence, flavor of raw cacao and hold the basis for all our products. The process retains the natural sweetness and prepares the fresh beans for their treatment: grinding, processing; all done on site.
THE GRINDING
The high quality comes from the ancestral processes of stone ground cacao, to recapture its essence. Once the peeled beans have been toasted, we take our time to grind the cacao until the dust and paste form. It releases the aroma, awakes the senses and captures the natural ingredients in the beans, like cocoa butter. As a result of cacao criollo beans, the amassed ground cacao is already flavorful and less bitter than the other varieties.
WORKING ALONGSIDE THE ALTA VERAPAZ COMMUNITY
We work for the surrounding partners. Dalileo started with one family who discovered a nearly barren piece of land in the state of Alta Verapaz. We employ several workers from the surrounding area, and we work together to maintain a mountain covered in native plants, hardwood trees, fruits, flowers, butterflies, bees and animals. Everyone is part of the process, and every effort goes into building a better environment.
THE COMMUNITY IS INVOLVED AND THRIVING
Our team has become a family. It is crucial for us that we keep cooperating, inviting our workers to learn and inspiring others to grow. We welcome those people who have already fallen in love with our cacao and want to experience the land where it came from and learn about how we grow and process the cacao. The vision is to continue to create sustainable development to build an eco-village and educational center that is of benefit to the land, visitors, residents, and the surrounding community alike.

FC Schalke 04 have their work cut out for them as they look to close the gap on the UEFA Champions League places, with on-form VfB Stuttgart up next at the VELTINS Arena on Sunday evening (kick-off: 17:30CET/16:30GMT).
Schalke are without defenders Benedikt Höwedes and Matija Nastasic as they look to bounce back from last Friday's 2-1 loss at 1.FSV Mainz 05. Die Königsblauen are fifth, two places behind Hertha Berlin in the final UEFA Champions League place.
Although they will begin the day five points and six places worse off than Schalke in tenth, Stuttgart promise to be a difficult proposition for Andre Breitenreiter's side. The Swabians have won all four of their Bundesliga games since the turn of the year – something not even runaway leaders FC Bayern München have managed.
Stuttgart boast the longest undefeated run in the Bundesliga (seven matches since the end of November). They are the only team in the division to have won each of their previous five matches.With four wins and 11 goals scored, Stuttgart are enjoying their best ever start to the second half of a Bundesliga season.Schalke coach Andre Breitenreiter has a marginally better win percentage than predecessor Roberto Di Matteo so far, yet a significantly poorer one than Jens Keller. Fifth coming into Matchday 22, Schalke's high position in the table can be largely attributed to their impressive start to the season. After seven matches, Die Königsblauen won five of their first seven games, picking up a club-record 16 points in that period.Since Jürgen Kramny was appointed coach in December, Stuttgart have averaged 2.1 points per game. No coach in Stuttgart's history has averaged more points per game.Key to Stuttgart's upturn in form has been the form of Filip Kostic and Lukas Rupp. Forward Kostic already has three goals and one assist in 2016, whilst midfielder Rupp has chipped in with a further two assists.Schalke midfielder Younes Belhanda and Stuttgart forward Artem Kravets played the first half of this season alongside one another at Dynamo Kiev.

Between you and the rest of the world lies an interface that makes up 16% of your physical weight. This is your skin, the largest organ in your body: laid out flat, it would cover close to 1.7 square meters of ground. But besides keeping your organs in, what is its purpose? Emma Bryce takes us into the integumentary system to find out.

Additional Resources for you to Explore
The integumentary system is vast, multi-layered, and complicated—but these sources will give you some valuable general information about its structure and function, as well as its many different layers and components. Those include the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the sweat and oil glands, and hair and nails.
This helpful source also highlights the many different ways that the integumentary system interacts with other systems in the body—like the circulatory, immune, and digestive systems—reminding us that it's part of a whole structure.
The skin's role as an immune organ is one of its most important functions: this source does a deep dive into its immune function. These other links will tell you more about the workings of Langerhans Cells, T-cells, and the fascinating microbial communities that live on the surface of your body.
You may also be interested in discovering just how much skin we shed on a daily basis—and the tiny critters that feed on it!
If you're curious about the system's important thermoregulatory role, you can turn to these sources for a good overview. If you'd like a little more in-depth information about thermoregulation, this one is a good one to consult.
A major feature of the integumentary system is hair—but have you ever considered why we actually have it? These sources will reveal lots about the importance of human hair and the role it plays in protecting us from physical harm. Interestingly, our relative hairlessness as a species actually makes us quite rare in the animal kingdom. Read here to find out why.
When most people think about skin, they think of its sensory role in our lives. In fact, the skin is so effective at sensing the world around us that some researchers are trying to imitate it. Technology that mimics skin could help people with artificial limbs sense things, or enable buildings to sense cracks in their facades so that they can be repaired.
Finally, check out these other videos, which explore the topic of human skin in different ways. Learn more about the important science of skin color with these two videos. Explore the fascinating process of wound healing in the skin. Everyone experiences itchy skin—this video will tell you why. Want to know why we have to wear sunscreen? This lesson has the answers.

An examination of the career of the late comedian Sam Kinison.
Hugh: He keeps TALKING and TALKING and TALKING!
Today's technical wizardry wasn't available when Charlie Hoover was in production. Sam Kinison's character was a little guy standing on Charlie's shoulder. The technical challenge of hand-coordinatng two cameras required Sam to stand still so they could position him -- maybe bowing a little, or maybe making a hand gesture or two. But his natural high energy was lost and his comedic genius was stifled. The whole thing could have been cured by allowing Sam to be a full-sized person. But no, a suicidal embrace of the "little guy" concept sent this show into the crapper. And more, the set was plagued by a director who micro-managed every tiny aspect of expression, vocal emphasis and movement. They couldn't have done a better job of suffocating the special talents of Sam Kinison, Tim Matheson, and Leslie (Engleberg) Kendall.


Scungilli is no more than a fancy word for sea-snail, whelk a mollusk commonly found in the cold waters off New England. Conch as it's labeled quite often is the warm water variety, actually. It's not exactly widely popular, I don't think it is a anyway. What I do know is that some people think of it as weird food. Living in NYC, born and raised its been an American-Italian staple. I grew up with it as part of the feast of seven fishes celebrated at Christmas time. It's typically prepared two ways here. In spicy tomato sauce, how I love it or as cold salad served in olive oil and lemon marinade. I recommend the canned variety but only one brand rules, LaMonica. This brand is better than fresh. I know, it is the only exception I know to the NO canned food rule. Preparing fresh Scungilli is laborious and tricky. I don't know anyone who makes it from scratch. In fact, I do know some Italian nonnas that would call you pazzo if you did. This is a really good thing… opening a can to get a wonderful delicious protein, a real luxury, NO?
It is very delicious indeed. A Sweet and bit size treat smothered in a great spicy tomato sauce is the quick and easy recipe I'm making tonight. It's also high in protein, low in fat. See more nutritional facts below.
So here is a that quick Scungilli dinner recipe. All you need is a can of whole San Marzano tomatoes along with one small can of tomato paste and LaMonica Scungilli .
Start sauce in pot by heating sea salt, crushed red pepper flakes, chopped parsley and olive oil.
Toss in hand crushed tomato and stir in the paste. Cook at low simmer for about an hour.
Toss in Scungilli and let simmer another 5-10 more minutes. It's so ready, Scungilli is pre-cooked. Can you say Amazing?!?
Plate with some arugula and black olives dressed with lemon and a drizzle of olive oil.
Whelks are chock-full of important vitamins: riboflavin, niacin, folate, and vitamins A, C, B6, and B12. Eating a 3 ounce serving of steamed whelks provides 257% of the recommended daily allowance for vitamin B12.

Gli One Ok Rock (spesso reso graficamente come ONE OK ROCK) sono un gruppo rock giapponese.

I membri del gruppo sono Taka, Toru, Ryota e Tomoya. Originariamente c'era un quinto membro, Alex, che lasciò il gruppo nel 2009. Diversi loro singoli sono entrati nella Oricon chart catapultandoli come uno dei gruppi più promettenti nella scena rock giapponese.

Storia

2005-2006: Fondazione
Nel 2005 Toru, studente delle superiori insieme ad Alex, Ryota e Tomo, decide di formare un gruppo. Chiede quindi a Ryota, precedentemente membro con Toru del gruppo hip hop Heads, di imparare a suonare il basso, e invita Alex ad unirsi a loro. Toru nel maggio dello stesso anno, dopo aver visto Taka cantare in una cover band, gli propone di diventare il loro cantante.

Il loro primo concerto si tiene a luglio al New Power Generation Vol. 3. Dopo aver firmato un contratto con l'etichetta Amuse, Inc., il batterista Tomo lascia la band per seguire la carriera di attore.

A succedergli sarà Tomoya Kanki, che frequentò l'ESP (Accademia Musicale) e a quei tempi già membro di un'altra band. Decise quindi di lasciare il gruppo e di unirsi ai ONE OK ROCK come membro di supporto, per poi diventarne solo nel 2007 un membro ufficiale.

Il nome del gruppo proviene dall'espressione inglese one o'clock, l'orario in cui erano solito esercitarsi nei fine settimana. Nella lingua giapponese non esiste differenza di suono tra la L e la R, per cui o'clock divenne o'krock, e infine ok rock, facendo riferimento al loro stile musicale.

2006-2009: Album di debutto
Il 26 luglio 2006 esce il primo mini album di debutto One OK Rock. Nell'aprile del 2007, Tomoya entra ufficialmente a far parte del gruppo, proprio prima dell'uscita del singolo Naihi Shinsho (内秘心書) che segna il loro debutto con una major. A seguire partecipano a diversi festival ed eventi, e un tour che vede club e lo Zepp Tokyo sold out.

Il loro secondo single Yume Yume (ゆめゆめ) raggiunge la posizione 43 nell'Oricon Chart. Finalmente, pubblicarono il loro primo album nel 2007 Zeitakubyō. Non molto tempo dopo uscì il loro secondo album Beam of Light nel maggio 2008.

In una recente intervista con i Rockin'On Magazine nel giugno del 2012, gli ONE OK ROCK dichiararono che non contano Beam of Light come album vero e proprio, ma più come crescita e formazione del gruppo. Per questo nessuna delle canzoni presente nell'album viene suonata nei recenti live.

Kanjō Effect viene pubblicato nel novembre del 2008, e subito dopo viene registrato un DVD con la loro esibizione allo Shibuya AX.

Tuttavia, il 5 aprile del 2009 Alex fu arrestato per molestie ai danni di una ragazza su una metropolitana. Il singolo che era in procinto di uscire e il tour nazionale furono entrambi cancellati e le attività del gruppo sospese. Il 13 maggio venne ufficializzato che Alex avrebbe lasciato il gruppo e che gli altri membri sarebbero rimasti inattivi per qualche tempo.

2010: Nuova formazione
A settembre del 2009 la band riprende l'attività senza Alex, partecipando a diversi festival (Rock in Japan, Summer Sonic, Monster Bash) e nel febbraio del 2010 esce il nuovo singolo Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer (完全感覚Dreamer), raggiungendo il nono posto della Oricon Chart. A giugno dello stesso anno pubblicano il quarto album Niche Syndrome.

Il 28 novembre del 2010 tengono il loro primo concerto al Budokan.

Il loro successivo singolo Answer is Near esce il 16 febbraio 2011, seguito da un doppio singolo Re:make/No Scared il 20 luglio dello stesso anno. NO SCARED viene usata come colonna sonora per il videogame Black Rock Shooter.

Il quinto album della band Zankyo Reference viene pubblicato il 5 ottobre 2011.

Nel gennaio 2012 tengono il loro tour finale, alla Yokohama Arena, in due date sold-out con 24.000 spettatori. Nell'aprile dello stesso anno, esce il Dvd ONE OK ROCK Yokohama Arena Special Final.

Il 22 agosto del 2012 esce il singolo The Beginning, e la canzone omonima viene usata come ending per l'action-movie Rurouni Kenshin, uscito il 28 agosto nelle sale cinematografiche del Giappone. Inoltre, The Beginning, raggiunge il 5º posto nella top 30 della Oricon Chart. Il brano è anche il primo singolo estratto dal sesto album in studio della band, Jinsei × Boku =, pubblicato il 6 marzo 2013.

Infine a ottobre 2013 la band ha tenuto il suo primo concerto europeo (European Tour 2013), facendo meta in varie città tra le quali Colonia (Germania), Londra e Parigi.

Il 12 gennaio 2014, il loro produttore John Feldmann annuncia su Twitter che gli ONE OK ROCK hanno già cominciato a registrare il loro nuovo album.

Inoltre, terranno anche i loro primi live a New York e a Los Angeles nel febbraio 2014

L'11 gennaio 2017 pubblicano il loro settimo album in studio sotto l'etichetta discografica A-Sketch mentre il 13 gennaio dello stesso anno rilasciano la versione internazionale sotto l'etichetta americana Fueled by Ramen.

2018–20: Eye of the Storm
Il 16 febbraio 2018, hanno pubblicato il loro primo singolo del 2018, "Change". La canzone è stata composta dal cantante Taka insieme al produttore della band per uno spot HondaJet. La band rimase relativamente silenziosa per tutto il resto dell'anno (con l'eccezione di intraprendere il loro Ambitions Dome Tour in Giappone, annunciato l'anno precedente), fino all'annuncio di un piccolo tour di quattro date con un'orchestra in Giappone alla fine di ottobre, così come un piccolo tour europeo a dicembre.

Il 23 novembre, la band ha annunciato il loro prossimo album, Eye of the Storm. Il secondo singolo, "Stand Out Fit In", considerato il primo singolo dell'album, è stato pubblicato lo stesso giorno con un video musicale. Anche "Change" è stato inserito nell'album. Il 1 ° febbraio 2019, la band ha pubblicato il terzo e ultimo singolo dall'album, "Wasted Nights". La canzone servirà come sigla del film Kingdom. La cantautrice americana Kiiara è l'unica guest feature dell'album nella traccia "In the Stars", che funge da colonna sonora del film Fortuna's Eye.

La band è stata in tour con Waterparks e Stand Atlantic in un tour da headliner in Nord America nei mesi di febbraio e marzo per supportare "Eye Of The Storm". Hanno anche supportato Ed Sheeran nella seconda tappa asiatica del ÷ Tour tra aprile e inizio maggio, e si sono esibiti in un tour da headliner in Europa per il resto di maggio, con il supporto della band dream pop Anteros e del produttore Dan Lancaster. Gli One OK Rock hanno suonato un breve tour negli Stati Uniti in Oregon, California e Messico nel mese di luglio, durante il quale hanno anche suonato il Vans Warped Tour. Il gruppo rock Weathers ha servito da supporto durante questo tour. One OK Rock ha effettuato un tour nell'arena del Giappone da settembre 2019 a gennaio 2020. Nel marzo del 2020, la band ha fatto un tour in Australia con la band pop rock americana Set It Off e la band pop punk australiana Stateside che fungeva da supporto. La band doveva terminare il tour con una tappa asiatica che si estendeva da aprile a luglio 2020. Tuttavia, il 17 marzo 2020, la band ha annunciato che le date del tour sarebbero state posticipate a causa della pandemia di COVID-19, con gli spettacoli in definitiva annullato.

Eye Of The Storm è stato rilasciato in Giappone il 13 febbraio 2019, tramite A-Sketch e fuori dal Giappone il 15 febbraio 2019, tramite Fueled By Ramen.

2020 : decimo album
Il 24 agosto 2020, la band ha annunciato un concerto in streaming in diretta nello stadio, intitolato Field of Wonder, che si è svolto allo ZOZO Marine Stadium di Chiba City, in Giappone, l'11 ottobre 2020. Il concerto è stato trasmesso al pubblico di tutto il mondo ed è stata la prima esibizione della band dall'inizio della pandemia COVID-19.

Nel 2021, la band lasciò Amuse, Inc. e fondò la propria agenzia di gestione. La band ha fornito una colonna sonora per Rurouni Kenshin: The Final, intitolata "Renegades". La canzone è stata co-scritta da Ed Sheeran e il frontman dei Coldrain Masato Hayakawa ed è stata rilasciata il 16 aprile 2021, tramite Fueled By Ramen, sia per la versione giapponese che per quella internazionale.

Il 21 maggio la band, tramite il loro account di twitter, annuncia ai fan del loro primo evento livestream sul loro canale youtube. Il 27 maggio, durante la diretta gli One Ok Rock anticipano il nuovo singolo Broken Hearts of Gold per il film Ruronin Kenshin: The Beginning e la band ha annunciato una chiamata aperta per la presentazione di un video musicale da parte del pubblico. La canzone è stata pubblicata il 27 aprile 2021, tramite Fueled By Ramen per la versione internazionale mentre la versione in giapponese è uscita sul loro canale youtube. Durante il livestream annunciano un concerto in streaming in acustico per il 21 giugno.

2022 : Luxury Disease

La band, dopo lo stop ad ogni tipo di evento a causa della pandemia da COVID-19, riparte con il North America Tour debuttando il nuovo album "Luxury Disease", pubblicato nel Settembre del 2022. Con quest'ultimo tour in America, la band riesce a segnare quasi tutte le date sold-out.

Il titolo del nuovo album si ispira al loro primo album "Zeitaikubyo", pubblicato in Giappone nel 2007.

Luxury Disease è stato descritto dal cantante Taka come un album che segna un nuovo inizio per la band, sia da un punto di vista musicale, sia da quello produttivo.

Il 7 Settembre 2022, a pochi giorni dall'uscita di Luxury Disease, pubblicano il singolo "Vandalize", nonché colonna sonora usata per l'omonimo videogioco "Sonic Frontiers". È stata scelta esclusivamente una versione censurata in quanto all'origine il brano contenga parole esplicite.

Why I'm voting against Scotland's anti-sectarian Football Act today
Today at the Scottish Parliament, opposition parties will unite to attempt to repeal the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act. I […]
By Liam McArthur
The Offensive Behaviour at Football Act was pushed through by the SNP after a bad tempered Old Firm match in 2011 (Photo: Getty)
Today at the Scottish Parliament, opposition parties will unite to attempt to repeal the Offensive Behaviour at Football Act.
I appreciate that for some this will seem like a curious thing to do. Surely, sectarianism is an offence which must be robustly challenged?
In effect, it has criminalised one section of society in one set of circumstances
So let's be absolutely clear on this: in communities across Scotland the scourge of sectarianism remains all too prevalent.
But top-down, kneejerk responses like the reckless Offensive Behaviour at Football Act are a perfect example of how not to go about tackling prejudice.
What we have seen since Alex Salmond used his parliamentary majority to railroad the legislation through Holyrood is confirmation that this is a deeply illiberal, harmful and confused piece of legislation.
It was a counter-productive response to reprehensible scenes at an Old Firm game and a number of other high profile incidents from a government desperate for a quick fix.
There are concerns that repealing the Act sends the wrong message about our collective determination to tackle sectarianism and hate crime more widely.
But we do no-one any favours by leaving unchallenged the false comfort and confidence people might have that this Act provides protection where it does not.
Alienating football fans
In effect, it has criminalised one section of society in one set of circumstances, at the same time alienating many football fans and damaging relations between them and the police.
In its absence, Police Scotland have confirmed that breach of the peace and other powers would be used to tackle inappropriate and offensive behaviour.
Repealing this act is not the be-all and end-all, of course.
We need a tactical switch towards a more holistic approach to tackling sectarianism, involving local authorities, churches, football clubs, schools and more in community-based initiatives.
The solution lies in prevention, building trust and understanding, not gesture politics.
The repeal of legislation that has been described by one judge as 'mince' is a chance to think again about how we challenge prejudice.
Lord Bracadale's review of hate crime, due out later this year, will also support this work.
Meantime, parties from across the political spectrum, Liberal Democrat and Labour, Conservative and Green, will today unite to show this illiberal legislation the red card.
The Scottish Government should abandon its injury time bids to save face and join us.
The author is the justice spokesman for the Scottish Liberal Democrats

Binance Records $87 Billion Daily Trading Volume, Beats Previous All-Time High
The trading volume of bitcoin on exchanges is hitting unprecedented heights in wake of the bull run. Just last month, Binance recorded a breathtaking $37 billion daily trading volume for bitcoin according to data from CoinMarketCap.
Since then, bitcoin price has gone up to hit $40k and activity on exchanges has likewise gone over the roof.
Binance recorded a new all-time high of $80 billion daily trading volume on the 4th of January. Its spot volume surpassed $23.6 billion, while derivatives made up about $57 billion in trade. The news was made public by its chief executive officer, Changpeng Zhao through his official Twitter account.
" $80+ billion in trading volume in the last 24hrs on Binance. ATH x 2!".
Zhao was quick to admit in the follow-up to the above tweet that the platform suffered some scaling issues, which it was working to resolve.
"We saw some scaling issues today. We probably will see more issues as we continue to grow. We aren't perfect, but we will fix them as quickly as we can. We appreciate your understanding and support!"
Zhao in another tweet compared the monthly trading volume to that witnessed in the 2017 bull run.
"To put this in perspective, from Nov 15 2017 to Dec 15, 2017, the month leading up to the ATH in 2017, Binance did $20 billion in trading volume in 1 month. And we were the largest with those volumes back then".
This implies that the new daily trading volume record quadruples the entire volume recorded in the build-up month to 2017's bull run.
The world's largest exchange by trading volume also recorded $190 million in bitcoin liquidation by users on the same day.
The increase in trading volume and general activity on Binance has been attributed by many to the subtle price dip that saw bitcoin test the $30,000 support level. Chances are, the mass liquidation was mostly from retail traders panic-selling after the drop.

Trees are everywhere. There's some in your childhood home; some in your favorite park. When it comes to the landscape around your house, trees add depth and texture.
They also take care of us and our families in ways we don't always realize. They reduce noise and air pollution and create oxygen through the absorption of carbon dioxide. They provide shade and reduce the temperature, keeping us cool. And to top it all off, they're absolutely beautiful.
A lot of folks think that trees care for themselves and that they don't need much attention. For the most part, this is true: trees require little maintenance. However, they do need regular inspection and pruning. They also occasionally need extra attention when it comes to potential damage from insects, disease and weather conditions. Regardless, with all that trees do for us, I'd say they deserve a little attention now and then!
< b="">Right plant, right place: Tree care starts by planting the right tree in the right place! At Plants Creative, we take this seriously with our "Right Plant, Right Place" guarantee.
Check the depth: Make sure to check to see if your new tree is planted at the right depth. Saplings will come packaged in a root ball. This ball contains the root system of the tree, and the top 10% of the ball should be above the soil.
Add some mulch: Mulch helps young trees retain moisture and protects the small root system as it gets established in the surrounding soil. Cover the planting hole with 1-3 inches of shredded hardwood or leaf mulch. Keep the mulch at least a foot away from the trunk, or your young tree may begin to rot!
Water, water, water: Be sure to give the tree the water it needs — but not too much! Trees are living things just like us and they can drown in too much water. When roots are surrounded by too much water or the tree is planted too deep, it will be unable to absorb the oxygen it needs. Wait a day or two in between soaking the soil. And be sure to soak it. Deep watering prevents surface roots!
Once your trees are five years or older and have established strong root systems, it's mostly routine maintenance that needs to happen.
Pruning: Every couple of years, prune in the fall or the winter, allowing the tree to recover before the summer heat comes around. Pruning in spring, when the sap is flowing from the roots to the trunk and branches, robs the tree of essential nutrients. Certain trees, such as crape myrtles, require a very specific type of pruning to grow well. If you're not sure how to best prune your tree, give us a call, we'll be happy to talk you through it or send out a maintenance professional.
Remove dead, damaged or crossed branches: Smart removal of the right limbs is essential for tree health. Insects and pests will capitalize on dead or damaged branches. Crossed branches will eventually grow into each other, often ending in broken branches and deterioration.
Save the living branches: A good rule of thumb is to keep two-thirds of the living branches on the tree while pruning. Pruning too much will leave your tree disfigured. If you're unsure if you're pruning right, the Plants Creative team is happy to answer questions for you.
Have it inspected: Yearly inspection is always a good idea, ideally with a certified arborist. If you need a referral, just let us know.
Hopefully, these tips will come in handy as you develop healthy trees. The Plants Creative team is always on hand to help. We can help you care for your small trees, and if you reach out, we guarantee a same-day response to any communication we receive from our customers before 12:00 p.m.

Q: Using Join to combine lists inside of lists? I would like to use the join method to join strings inside of a list, I am not sure if it is possible or not but I was hoping you guys could help me out!
I have this list (a list within a list within a list):
[ [ ['a', 'd', 't', 'a', 'j'], ['u', 's', 'h', 'w'], ['p', 'b', 'q', 'l', 't', 'a'] ], [ ['y', 'a'], ['t', 's'] ] ]

And what I am trying to output from the function is something like this:
[ ['adtajushwpbwlta'], ['yats'] ]

The code that I have tried is using a nested for loop, but the problem I get with this is that it just turns everything into one big string
adtajushwpbwltayats

I am just a beginner, I would really appreciate it if you guys could use really basic code and methods (no 're' and stuff like that). Also if join is not the appropriate method to use, please let me know which method would be better.
Thank you!

A: To get the output you want you can use a combination of join and list comprehensions:
>>> letters = [[['a', 'd', 't', 'a', 'j'], ['u', 's', 'h', 'w'], ['p', 'b', 'q', 'l', 't', 'a']], [ ['y', 'a'], ['t', 's']]]
>>> [["".join(["".join(a) for a in b])] for b in letters]
[['adtajushwpbqlta'], ['yats']]

Note that this will only work for the same number of nested lists in your example.

A: record = [ [ ['a', 'd', 't', 'a', 'j'], ['u', 's', 'h', 'w'], ['p', 'b', 'q', 'l', 't', 'a'] ], [ ['y', 'a'], ['t', 's'] ] ]
import itertools
result = [ ["".join(list(itertools.chain(*r)))] for r in record ]
print result

output : [['adtajushwpbqlta'], ['yats']]

With the use of itertools you can achive this in single iteration.

If you have young children – 4-6 years - I have a very special app for you, and a very special offer.
Tap the Cat is a fun, engaging and highly interactive iPad app that teaches key early literacy skills through touch, listening and speaking. If you have kids and you have an iPad you know how they are drawn to it, especially for playing games. Why not take advantage of that attraction and use it to enhance their learning?
Tap the Cat features nine activities, each reinforcing a different literacy skill – from rhyming words, to drawing and colouring, to speaking and handwriting. With bright animations, catchy music, fun sound effects and exciting rewards, you've got the perfect learning environment!
Tap the Cat also allows children to record and play back their own voice. Once your child has completed all nine activities a very special feature is unlocked; their voice recordings, and their coloured-in pictures, can be used to create their own ebook .
Tap the Cat is another brilliant app from ABC Reading Eggs – a team of educators with more than 20 years' experience in early childhood education, who believe learning to read should be fun, motivating, and full of success.
As soon as I bought my iPad at the end of last year two of the first apps I added to it were from ABC Reading Eggs – Spelling Games Grade 4 and Targeting Maths 3, which have since been added to with Spelling Games 6 and Targeting Maths 5. I have tried quite a few different 'educational' apps for my boys and the only ones that have remained on my iPad, and that they are happy to use, are Spelling Games and Targeting Maths.
Tap the Cat will be FREE for 48 hours!
So, tomorrow morning pop over to the App Store and download Tap the Cat.
As well as posting here on my blog, I also post a few times every day on Facebook.
Why send the same old boring email when you can make it something really different?
If you only have a short message to send, or it's a special occasion, go retro and let the Mailroom app turn your normal email into something that will really stand out.
The Mailroom App has 21 retro-inspired templates – you just select the one you want, type your message, then send via your normal email account. It links to your Contacts so there's no need to look up email addresses.
Your message is sent as an attachment, and if you choose one of the more detailed templates you will have the option of reducing the size of your image so that your message isn't too large – don't go for small (it's too small to read clearly). A hint: If the size selection screen doesn't appear when you send your Mailroom message then you know it's going to be full size. If you don't want your message to be too large and especially if you know your recipient is going to view the message on their computer, choose a less detailed image so that it will appear full size when it's opened.
The Mailroom App is from Cartolina, who also make the beautiful Cartolina App – read my review of Cartolina App here.
Did you know you can use Skype to create a video message to send to your Skype contacts? It's much more fun and more personal than sending a voicemail message or an SMS. Gather the family around your webcam and you can all get in on the recording.
A video message is perfect for sending a birthday or Christmas message to a friend on the other side of the world – they don't even have to be online or available when you send your message. The message will be waiting for them the next time they open Skype.
Just click on the plus arrow in a contact's chat window, and select 'Send video message…' then follow the onscreen instructions. Don't worry if you stuff it up, you can record your message as many times as you need until you get it right.
If you don't see this option on your Skype screen it just means you don't have the latest version of Skype. Just go to www.skype.com and download the latest version.
Free unlimited video messaging is also available on the Skype app for iPhone and iPad, Android, Blackberry, and just last week for Windows Phones.
A few months ago I took a break from my blog. My business, my family, my health – everything was going wrong, although, in the case of my business – it was the opposite – it was going too well! I was exhausted, juggling too many balls at once and dropping every one of them. That meant I wasn't spending quality time with my family, and my health was suffering from getting no more than three hours sleep a night. I'll bet quite a few of you know exactly what I'm talking about. As mums, we usually look after everyone else first, and put ourselves last. Often we forget that to look after everyone else, we need to first look after ourselves. I decided that things had to change – I really could not continue as I was.
WhyTime is a new mobile app aimed at helping us busy mums take time out from our overscheduled, overcommitted lives and prioritise our own health and wellbeing.
WhyTime aims to get you thinking about what really matters to you, and inspire you to take the time and make the changes you need – whether that is more sleep, regular me time, exercise, healthy eating or quality time with your family.
WhyTime lets you set custom reminders to prompt you during your day. For example, I've got one that goes off at 10pm to remind me that I need to be in bed in one hour. I also find that if I don't stop for breaks I can easily keep working at my desk without getting up all day. So, now I've set reminders to stop and have a glass of water, and another to remind me to stop working and stretch.
However, the great thing about WhyTime is that it doesn't just remind you about what you want to do – it reminds you of WHY it is important to you, and what you will get out of accomplishing that task.
WhyTime will guide you through each step of setting your reminders and creating the message you will receive with your reminder to affirm exactly what it will mean to you to do this task, or what it means if you don't.
You also have the option of creating your own messages if you'd rather use your own wording. For my 10pm reminder, that I need to be in bed at 11pm, I set the message that "it will change my entire day tomorrow". I have always known that I should be getting more sleep, but for me, the reminder about what I'll get out of going to bed has made all the difference in motivating me to actually do it.
The interface really is beautiful, with inspirational quotes and lovely images. If you are lacking the motivation to make the changes you need in your life – download WhyTime. It's available from the App Store for $4.49, and it is worth every cent.
The lovely WhyTime music is playing on my iPad - I'm off to do some stretching!
