The numbers are in and, according to Spotify, 2019 may have belonged to Post Malone—but Drake took the decade.
When Spotify released its year-end streaming numbers, Post Malone took the top spot in 2019 with more than 6.5 billion global streams. Billie Eilish (6 billion), Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, and Bad Bunny round out the top-five most-streamed artists.
With 28 billion streams over the past 10 years, Drake is Spotify's most-streamed artist of the decade, followed by Ed Sheeran, Post Malone, Ariana Grande, and Eminem.

Interestingly enough, Lil Nas X's seemingly unstoppable bop "Old Town Road" came in at No. 5 of 2019's most-streamed tracks. Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes's "Señorita" came in at No. 1 with 1 billion streams, followed by Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy" (990 million), Post Malone and Swae Lee's "Sunflower," and Ariana Grande's "7 Rings."
Spotify also released numbers on its podcasting efforts: There are currently more than 500,000 podcast titles on its platform (Apple reportedly has more than 750,000), and Spotify's podcast audience has grown 50% since the start of the year. It's also seen a 39% increase in podcast hours consumed quarter over quarter. Spotify's most-streamed podcasts are The Joe Budden Podcast, My Favorite Murder, Gemischtes Hack, Fest & Flauschig, and The Misfits Podcast.

We have been part of life within our communities from the time our founding Sisters of St John of God arrived from Ireland in the late nineteenth century.
St John of God Health Care Inc. is an incorporated association, the members of which are the directors of St John of God Australia Ltd, a civil and canon law entity established in 2004 to sponsor the ministry that was previously sponsored by the Sisters of St John of God.
St John of God Health Care is a leading provider of high quality healthcare services that include hospitals, home nursing, disability and outreach services throughout Australia, New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific region.
The theme of this year's Annual Report, 'For tomorrow, today' captures the innovation needed in response to the many factors now impacting St John of God Health Care and the broader health sector, including the growing cost of delivering health care with an ageing population and a rise in chronic disease.
In April 2017, Pope Francis gave an address to a group gathered in Vancouver for a TED conference on the theme 'The Future You', from his home in the Vatican City.
In 2016-17, St John of God Health Care continued to invest in expanding our services and facilities for the benefit of the communities we serve. As expected and foreshadowed in last year's report, this was against a challenging financial backdrop.
2016-17 was a very significant year for us, it being the first full year of our Midland Public and Private Hospitals and the first full year of our responsibility for the Hawkesbury District Health Service.
St John of God Health Care launched new 'clinical command' technology in its Murdoch Hospital operating theatres in June that resulted in less waiting time in patient holding areas and freed up the theatre team to spend more time on patient care.
A national Arts and Health partnership with Musica Viva has created new music services in our hospitals and through peer-reviewed research validated the positive impact the arts can have on the wellbeing of patients, caregivers and the broader community.


It's hard to miss a Maltese balcony when admiring a townhouse from the street, but it's just as hard to tell the structure's condition from a distance. A close inspection from a professional will tell you whether a refurbishment is necessary or if completely replacing the balcony is the safer option.
Most balconies are made of hardwoods, which means they are durable and resistant to the strong sunlight, driving winds and high humidity that characterise the Maltese climate. Other materials like paint and glass may not fare so well. It may be necessary to strip a balcony of its old paint, rusted metal fixtures and thin glass window panes in order to make it look its best.
With some expert attention, even a very old balcony can be brought back to life. In some cases however, there might be too much damage and neglect to save the existing structure. Problems like wood rot can creep in that make a balcony both unsightly and unsafe. In this case, a complete rebuild will be necessary.
While it is the more expensive option, a rebuild means that you are guaranteed a quality balcony with no underlying issues. Most owners opt for an exact replica of the previous structure, but you can also make some changes to the design if you want to.
There are several companies and workshops that specialise in the restoration and building of traditional balconies. If you're going down this route, the first step is to get a quotation, ideally one which includes ancillary costs such as scaffolding and council permits if required.
A carpenter will then create the balcony structure using wood, fittings and other materials specifically chosen for their durability. Your preferences on the style of fittings, paint colour and so on will determine what the end product looks like while the craftsman will take care of ensuring the balcony is properly cleaned, sealed and ready to be fitted, ready to withstand anything the weather can throw at it.
In most cases, the completed, joined balcony travels in one piece from workshop to the home or office, which makes for an interesting sight in traffic. The balcony is then lifted into place (a council permit will be needed if the road is narrow and needs to be closed to traffic for this bit) and secured to the stone.
Your brand-new or refurbished balcony will look great but it needs regular care to keep it that way. Aside from ensuring the inside is swept and clean, commercial wood cleaners should be used to keep the balcony free of mildew and to prevent oxidation.
The judicious use of a pressure washer can help remove any dirt build-up but care should be taken not to damage the wood underneath as this will speed up its erosion. The ideal time to do this is during warmer periods, which gives the wood time to dry off completely.
The Maltese government has launched several schemes over the years, aimed at helping homeowners with the financial burden of restoring a traditional balcony. These schemes differ depending on where the property is located – not all localities are included and some restrict funding to buildings in the central areas of a town.
It's worth finding out whether your townhouse falls within an area covered by a restoration scheme as this can make your budget go much further.
A Maltese balcony adds interest to a home's facade while bringing light and air to the interior. Those hoping to buy property with a traditional balcony can, with some professional care, enjoy the charms of such a feature for many years to come.

NAFSA 2018 Recap: World's Largest International Education Conference
By Molly Haskell . June 5, 2018
Over 9,000 attendees from over 100 countries gathered in the city of Philadelphia for the largest international education event in the world - the NAFSA International Educators conference - and Global Experiences was there to be a part of it!
NAFSA brings like-minded professionals from around the world to discuss all of the exciting things happening in the field of international education. This year's NAFSA theme was "Diverse Voices, Shared Commitment." Keeping in line with this, plenary speakers Laura Bush, Bill Nye, Joyce Banda, and Terry Gross gave enlightening speeches on the importance of education and being an active part of a global community.
Members of the Global Experiences team had the pleasure of exhibiting at NAFSA. Always great to network and meet with our university partners and industry colleagues, and discuss how international internships form a critical aspect of an intercultural experience.
Melissa Buerkett, GE Director of Academic Internships, presented a sought-after conference session alongside Jennifer Evanuik Baird from Georgia Institute of Technology speaking to a room of 75+ attendees. They shared best practices for managing international internship programs from a university and partner perspective.
In the NAFSA Pavilion on Tuesday, Kelly Holland, GE Associate Director for Institutional Partnerships, sat on the Social Media panel presented by NAFSA. Joined by Basil Jackson from IDP International Education Specialists, and Janka Pieper from Northwestern University, the three spoke about their preferred social platforms, how they can be maximized for recruitment and storytelling, and more.
In partnership with ISEP, one of the largest study abroad member networks in the world, GE was thrilled to co-host a reception filled with partners and colleagues from around the world. These close-knit conversations celebrated GE partners and friends, and toasted the launch of the GE / ISEP partnership.
We were delighted to have some of our wonderful GE alumni join us to share their own stories on how interning abroad changed their lives, and of course take the opportunity to boost their Philadelphia networking connections.
Pictured below are alumni Drew (interned in Dublin Fall 2016 for marketing), Kelsey (Dublin Spring 2011 for marketing), staff member Melissa, and Tina (Rome Fall 2008 for architecture and interior design.)
GoAbroad Awards
With the international education industry all in one place celebrating NAFSA, GoAbroad presented their annual awards recognizing those who are innovators in international education. We were honored to be nominated for two innovation awards this year: "Innovative New Program-Intern Abroad Award" and the "Innovative Technology Award."
Innovative New Program - Intern Abroad Nomination
The Innovative New Program - Intern Abroad Award is awarded to an organization that gives students and young professionals a unique opportunity for cultural engagement and learning.
We were nominated for our University of Southern California's Masters in Applied Psychology Program (MAPP). Our USC MAPP program gives students, who are pursuing their degree entirely online, to meet in Dublin, Ireland, while completing a required internship course.
Prior to our program, a majority of the online students never meet in person until graduation. Thanks to this innovative program, these students now get the chance to meet and have a unique international experience all while working towards a degree.
"The experience is going to jumpstart my career back in the US. It helped give me direction. The program as a whole was amazing, as were all the people involved," former intern James H. said about his time in Dublin.
Learn more about our MAPP Program.
Innovative Technology Nomination
The Innovative Technology award recognizes the use and/or invention of an innovate technology in the field of international education. With international internships on the rise, a common problem for university career services or study abroad advisors is how best to advise students. In our research we looked to find the gap in knowledge about internships, and how could providers like GE help with the process.
In 2017, our staff learned the "design thinking" problem-solving process and thought it would be the perfect way to solve the advising problem. Based in the engineering world, the process calls for working with experts, reframing the problem, searching for solutions, testing possible solutions, and launching a prototype.
In spring, we launched live, on-demand training of Advising on International Internships. Working with input from eight university partners, we developed print and multimedia pieces (including our 5 tips blog) that could be easily accessed by students and staff alike.
To date, 19 institutions and 80 individuals have attended a live training session hosted by Global Experiences staff. We also have more videos, webinars, and reference pieces to help close the knowledge gap we first identified.
We're thrilled that GoAbroad acknowledged the innovation and dedication Global Experiences has put into the world of international education.
The NAFSA week was amazingly productive and we're already looking forward to 2019 in Washington, DC.


I have a New Penn 950 SSm and need to buy line for it. What lb test and brand do you think would work best against big Ulua. It says 300 yards of 30lb test is the most on the reel.
Haha, yea i goin dunk wit it. My arm gets tired with the 7500.
If you going dunk i would not just use Braid because braid floats and makes it easier to get tangled, And if you do get tangle breaking 100lb test is hard work. You can just use suffix 40lb test diameter is equal to 30lb and if you like you can put braid on the reel first like 150yrd then the rest Mono.
I just filled my Penn 950ss with 35lb test mono start, uni-uni to 150 yds of 100lb test spiderwire, then uni-uni to 60 yds of 60lb test mono because that is all i had. Good setup for dunking?
Also, Penn 750 with 150yds of 25lb test mono, then uni-uni to 150 yd of 40lb powerpro. For my 13' whipping pole and MW 1.5 oz lure.
Im just starting and wondering on opinions of these setups.

Chad Gable Shares Championship Goals, Names WWE 'Dream Opponent'
Chad Gable
SmackDown Superstar Chad Gable has revealed who his WWE "dream opponent" is, pointing squarely at Daniel Bryan.
By Steve Russell
Chad Gable has revealed which WWE Superstar is his "dream opponent" during an interview with WWE's After the Bell podcast.
Having shared his championship aspirations with podcast host Corey Graves, Gable admitted he's eager to prove himself against top talent, pointing directly at Daniel Bryan.
He noted how he's not going to be aiming directly for the WWE Universal Championship just yet, although it remains his ultimate goal. Instead, he's got his eyes set on the Intercontinental title.
"[…] I'm not going to say all of a sudden, three months from now, oh, I should be Universal Champion, because I don't think that we make those kind of jumps immediately," Gable confessed. "I do see that for myself long-term because you have to or else what are you doing? But I am very happy that I stayed on Smackdown because we have the IC Title, which I think would be a great starting point for me as a singles guy. I want to get in that mix."
Chad Gable's Championship Goals
If successful, the former American Alpha member shared how he would be a fighting champion. He revealed how he would be eager to "defend it all the time." According to him, his dream match would be a bout against Bryan, regardless of whether the Intercontinental Championship was at stake or not.
"[…] there's guys like Bryan on our show who I have not had a chance to wrestle yet on TV, especially in a singles match. It's my dream opponent that's still wrestling. Before he's done – and I don't know how long he has left or how long he plans on wrestling – I want to have that match with Bryan, whether it's for the IC title."
He revealed how if he were able to wrestle Bryan, he'd want their match to have real stakes involved. Gable is confident if the match happened, he'd be able to show the world what he's truly capable of. And with an opponent like Daniel Bryan, Gable believes they'd be able to "tear the house down."

Tit-Bits
A Taste of Taji
by Reese
Describing the events of the year 2020 may bring up a plethora of colourful expressions as it certainly has been a roller coaster thus far. However, for Daksha Ramjawan, the words of Sheryl Sandberg ring true when she said "You will be defined not just by what you achieve, but by how you survive."
The young business woman and current Marketing Executive at Famram Solutions has achieved a lot in a short space of time, with her most recent achievement being launching Taji, a skincare brand, being no exception to her ambitious persona. I recently caught up with this budding entrepreneur to find out how she has managed to start up and launch a new beauty business venture in the midst of a global pandemic.
Daksha, tell us about Taji? It sounds rather catchy.
Taji is a new venture that I conceptualized and launched this year. Taji is a Swahili word that means "crown" and focuses on beauty tools, cosmetics and health products , being gender neutral and accessible to everybody. I believe that being healthy both internally and cosmetically is pivotal in looking and feeling good, almost like royalty (hence the metaphoric crown). It also aids in boosting our mental health and well being. Taji is much more than a business venture, I believe that it will become a healthy lifestyle choice.
As mentioned earlier, 2020 has been sheer chaos, what prompted you to start up Taji now?
There is no time like the present right? With every challenge comes great rewards. It has been in my vision since being a little girl, Ever since I was little, from swatching mud on my face in the garden to making my own homemade masks and trying to experiment with different skincare tools. I also believe that my passion lies in providing natural, non-invasive tools and products for people to use as I am a strong believer in natural, organic and vegan product use. We can look good, live healthily and still contribute to sustaining the environment.
What is unique about the Taji products?
My products are customized according to my unique designs, with personalized branding and are delivered in divine gold and black packaging. All of the Taji products have gone through vigorous processing and certification, to ensure the best possible solution for our clientele. They have exceptional health and beauty benefits for the entire body. For example, our newly launched facial roller and customized facial cups give one an instant facial lift with non-invasive techniques!
On that note, I am currently hosting a cool competition where I'm giving away 10 Taji Facial Cupping sets, 10 Taji Obsidian Rollers and Gua Sha sets. Winners will be announced on Women's Day (August 9, 2020). Information is available on our social media platforms below!
Wow, I can't wait to test out these nifty tools, Gua Sha sounds really fun to say, like a vocal warm up, lol. Back to business (*inserts professional voice*) Tell us, what were some of the challenges you faced in starting up this business?
I think when you have an idea ( I had this idea for a very long time), you have to do a lot of market research and testing to ensure you deliver the best possible experience to your clientele. There was also dealing with the effects of the global pandemic, it is quite difficult to launch a product.. However, I pushed through all the obstacles as I was driven by my passion about these products. Also, I'm pedantic with attention to detail. Taji has taken a bit longer than expected but the brand is now here and read to launch.
Daksha, you are certainly an admirable "one to watch" and I am sure our readers want to know more. How can they get in touch with Taji?
They can contact us on on various social media platforms and we will be happy to help:
Instagram: @tajionline_
Facebook: Taji Online
Website: www.tajionline.com
There you have it folks! Check out Taji and be sure to let us know if you get your Gua Sha on!

« Arsenal on this day: Twenty Arsenal stories from 1st May.
Arsenal 7 Hibernian 1. Arsenal's first televised game under the lights. »
Jon Sammels: wonderful player, victim of the 1960s Anti-Arsenal "fans"
Jon Sammels played for Arsenal between 1963 and 1971 and I remember him well. Of course in those days the amount of information we had about the club was far less than now, and I never understood why he left when, as far as I could see, he was still such a wonderful player.
Here are the basic details…
23 July 1945: Jon Sammels born in Ipswich
30 July 1962: Jon signed as professional
27 April 1963: Blackpool 3 Arsenal 2. Debut for Jon Sammels – and he scored one of the two goals. He played just two games this season, but went on to play 212 games all told, including making 21 appearances in the first Double season.
24 April 1971: WBA 2 Arsenal 2. Last game for Jon Sammels. Having just defeated Leeds, West Brom held Arsenal in the 29th league game of the first Double season. The result left Arsenal one point above Leeds with one game in hand, but knowing that the next match was Leeds away.
22 July 1971 Jon Sammels sold to Leicester for £100,000
And his footballing career…
Team Lge games Lge Goals
Arsenal 215* 39
Leicester City 241 21
Vancouver Whitecaps 54 7
Nuneaton Borough
* Includes three as sub. Jon also played nine times for England's under 23s.
And now the meat on the bones…
Jonathon Charles Sammels was born in Ipswich and is said to have been an Arsenal supporter as a boy.
He started to be a regular in the team in 1965/6 – for after just two games in 1962/3 and none the following year he played 17 in 1964/5. And then 32 the next season, including playing in the friendly against Brazil in November 1965 when he scored both goals as Arsenal beat the world champions 2-0.
Jon was clearly on the way up, for after that he notched up all 42 league games (and scoring ten) in 1966/7. But his greatest moment came in the 1970 Fairs Cup final when he scored the winning goal to give Arsenal their first ever European trophy.
However an injury restricted subsequent games and as George Graham came into the team Jon's options were reduced although he was used as an alternative to Eddy Kelly on occasions and he did make 13 league starts in 1970/1 as part of the Double side.
Matters were made worse however by the anti-Arsenal Arsenal of the day booing him, And so following a transfer request and 212 league starts (270 matches in total) and 52 goals, he was sold to Leicester.
Jon then became a key part in the Leicester team for seven years, and played almost the same number of games for them as for Arsenal (265 for Leicester), and won the 1971 Charity Shield with Leicester (Arsenal declining to play in the competition having won the Double).
He left Leicester on a free transfer in 1978, and after a season in Canada, and then a short spell in non-league he became a driving instructor back in Leicester.
Dave Faber, writing on Arsenal.com gives an interesting insight into Jon…
In the wake of the Fairs Cup Final triumph a year earlier I had written to him asking for advice on striking a football (he had the fiercest shot on him) and how to improve my game. I didn't expect a response, and certainly not a hand-written one that stretched to four pages of velum. I was already a fan, but at thirteen I was understandably overwhelmed at his kindness.
Bob Wilson is quoted in Highbury: The Story Of Arsenal by Jon Spurling in relation to not playing in the cup final saying…
Jon was my room-mate and the night before the FA Cup final, he was seriously choked up. I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like for him to miss out on the climax to the Double season, after he'd been at Highbury all those years. You hate to hear one of your team-mates receiving criticism from the crowd. Fans have a much bigger influence on players than they think.
And that is it – except for a novel call "I am Sam" by James Durose-Rayner. It is just the third novel that I know of which has Arsenal as a theme (although not really a central theme), the first being the Arsenal Stadium Mystery, and the second "Making the Arsenal" (set in 1910 by, well, since you ask, me). "I am Sam" is a book about a David Beckham look alike who works in media and who is charged with producing made-for-TV videos about England's failure in the 1970 World Cup, and in passing, Jon Sammels. ———————–

13 comments to Jon Sammels: wonderful player, victim of the 1960s Anti-Arsenal "fans"

I remember Jon well. S lovely elegant player. I could never understand all the criticism. I use to stand on the North Bank at the time. If I remember correctly not too much criticism came from there.
Uncle Mike
As an American, who wouldn't have been old enough to remember him anyway, my first exposure to Jon Sammels was, as you might guess, the film version of "Fever Pitch," which led me to believe that he might actually have been "rubbish" and "a f***ing idiot" who should "sod off to Spurs."
Then I saw the Official History and 501 Goals DVDs, and saw that he was actually a very good player, and a decent guy. So why the abuse? Did Nick Hornby catch him on a bad day (when Arsenal won anyway)?
And if the height (or depth, if you prefer) of the abuse came after his goal that clinched the Fairs Cup win, then that's disgraceful. I can't think of any other Arsenal player who got that kind of abuse after a big goal, unless it's "traitors" like Fabregas, van Persie and Adebayor (Cole not having scored many goals).
James Durose-Rayner
Hiya there – I wrote 'I Am Sam'.
"In passing"? "Not a central theme"?
You've just got to love some of these pedantic-know your-place bloggers!
There is more 'background' and 'fact' re Jon Sammels in 'I Am Sam' than in his actual biography that was ghosted by Rob Oxby in 1972 – and if you take time to read it – you will find a reason or reasoning why sections of the crowd didn't take to him.
Never just assume a fact, read up on it and take it in. As Jon told Kev Whitcher of Gooner magazine – 'Everything James wrote about me is 100% correct'.
Stevie Kell from ASFC and myself had to work hard to get Jon to come down to The Emirates for the book signing as he was unsure how the Arsenal supporters would respond to him. He was that uneasy about it. Frank McLintock was also a great help, but Frank is a class act.
Jon had obviously been to The Emirates before, but had never actually mingled with the supporters on a one-to-one basis. He's a fairly shy and sensitive person and that showed on him getting there. However after interacting with the supporters for a couple of hours the reception he ended up getting was nothing short of astounding and he was well and truly choked up afterwards. Especially when they sang his song 'We'll walk a million miles for one of your goals, Sammy'. I was told by a few people that that was the best ever reception for any ex-player.
And that's me mentioning him just 'in passing'? Just think how they would have responded if I'd done a book with a cannon on the front and pictures in it?
Jon's body language was a bone of contention for a section of the fans – but there was a reason for it.
In 'I Am Sam' I made the fact public for the first time, therefore I'm surprised that it's not been mentioned in Tony Attwood's piece on 'Jon Sammels'.
Next up is 'ITV 7' the second part of the story.

Like Stevegooner I used to stand on the north bank and I don't remember much criticism of Jon.
john hoy
I always thought Jon was a really good team player,like a few of the lads who have added comments,I cannot remember him getting abuse from the North Bank,in fact they use to sing,Sammy,I would walk a million miles for one of your goals,I once saw him score a blinder away to Nottingham Forest from 25 yards one night game.
Keith Comley
Jon Sammels, I remember him well. Firstly as one of 3 England under 23's. Jon Sammels, Geordie Armstrong and Terry Anderson, will they get in? There was always great interested in under 23's, the best being England v Young England, Cup Final Friday. I also remember he had a shot on the edge of the box, or was it a penalty? At the Clock-End, he hit the right hand post, it swung left, behind the keeper, hit the left hand post and went in!It might have been one of those exhibition games v Moscow Dynamo or a Brazilian team? No matter, he grafted through that Billy Wright and early Bertie Mee period only to really miss out on the glory, a shame, it was the likes of him, Geordie Armstrong, Peter Storey and Stan Simpson who created the double team….
Eddie Hapgood
The hounding of Jon Sammels emanated from a small bunch od alkies in the Long Bar of the Gunners pub – he was just too subrtle for some prople I guess – a joy to watch and what a shot!
"I'd walk a million miles for one of your goals"
Micky Turner
My nan's house was in Gillepie Road right outside the North Bank entrance and I started to watch Arsenal as a 7 year old in 1959 when my uncle took me to my first game.
I've seen some really great players over the years since that first game and I count Jon as a player I loved watching, he was a classy elegant player with a fabulous shot
S Barnes
I remember he scored the goal against rouen in 1968 fairs cup win good player sad to leave because some numpties didnt like him
Bernie Davenport
Jon Sammels got stick from the East stand,and that liberty taket Hornby in his film Fever Pitch when a ted Drake lookalike tells him to pi… off to the Spurs ,bad manners, and disrespectful,had that Swindon keeper not stretched his arms two foot longer,Sammels would have scored a carbon copy of George,s 71 goal.The saddest picture of JS is him watching the 71 team celebrating at Wembly.0
I loved watching Jon Sammels playing in midfield for Arsenal in the 70's.
He had wonderful vision for passing the ball in attacking moves and a great shot.
I thought he would be the next Bobby Charlton in the England team but sadly sections of the crowd ruined his career Arsenal with yobbish blame culture.
What a pleasure it was to watch him for several years up to winning the Double.
Mel Stirk
As a life long Leicester supporter I remember Jon well one of the best passers of a ball we have ever had at Leicester and a great asset to a great side we had under the guidance of the great Jimmy Bloomfield.
Ian Napper
I do not think it was a case of Jon being booed; it was more a case of loud sighs of frustration. Supporters recognised his skills (especially his powerful shots) but, because of them, expected to see them every match. His great potential (to be an England regular) was not realised. I was sorry to see him leave Arsenal.

When a horn is formed into a proper shofar, it can be rendered pasul (unfit, nonkosher) at various stages of the production process. According to Rabbi Moshe Flumenbaum of HaSofer, most of the shofars produced in Israel are made by workers who are paid by the piece, not by the hour. The worker may inadvertantly make a hole in the shofar or cause it to crack. To avoid incurring a loss, an unscrupulous worker may then take some horn dust, mix it with glue that becomes invisible when dried and patch the horn. He can then twist it into a shape that further hides the defect, and then sand and polish the horn to the point where it looks and sounds like a kosher shofar. The only ways to ensure the shofar was not patched is through on-site supervision or an X-ray!
Adding silver or leather decoration to a shofar renders it nonkosher because even a slight change in the sound the shofar produces renders it unfit. The same applies if a lacquer coating is applied.
Likewise a shofar may not be painted (Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chayim, 586, 17). The only permitted decoration is carving into the keratin itself — as long as this does not significantly alter the shofar's sound.
Sometimes a shofar will have kashrut certification, but the supervision merely ensures that the shofar was made from a ram's horn or checks for cracks, patches and lacquer coating — only after the shofar is completed, when these problems are very hard to detect.
Keep in mind that the larger shofars are more difficult to make and frequently have problems during production, which is why the larger shofars are considerably more expensive than smaller ones.
Which type of shofar horn is best?

Mitcz is pleased that he successfully predicted (with some caveats) two stories that are tackled this week. We talk about Tesla's new home battery, why it's worthwhile, and whether it's useful beyond its intended target. We also discuss self-driving semi trucks, and what the future holds, debate about what laws should be made, and the efficacy of computer-driven driving machines. In addition to several new products hitting the market — both of which entice Alex — we also discuss Microsoft's plans for the upcoming Windows 10 roll-out.


Take a trip to California's Topanga Canyon with Battenwear.
The short sleeve t-shirt is made from 100% cotton jersey that has a textured feel to it with its fine weave.
In the centre of the chest "Camp Topanga" has been printed onto the navy blue base colour of the t-shirt. This base colour has been achieved by pigment dyeing the fabric and therefore may fade after washing.
A small Battenwear patch logo appears in the corner of the garment to conclude the detailing.

Circulating libraries
I recently had the great pleasure of assisting a Jane Austen scholar who was looking for book evidence of English circulating libraries during Austen's lifetime. At first I thought that the assignment would be a piece of cake, since I'd run across a fair amount of 18th and 19th century French subscription library evidence in my music cataloging, as French music publishers of the time often maintained active lending libraries. But soon I discovered that what I had thought would be a straightforward research project would teach me far more about these libraries than I expected.
M1500.M75 F4 1785 cover
Both circulating libraries, and the more elite subscription libraries, tended to paste paper labels announcing their terms on the front covers, or inside the front covers of their music or books. The label above is typical of those I'd seen so often on French scores: the publisher Cochet clearly ran a subscription library on the side. A lot of new music was initially published in small editions, and popularized by subscription, leading to more publishing as the works became more desirable in the minds of the public.
*EC75.G5904.801t Inside front cover
Following a slightly different model, circulating libraries for books were purely a money-making affair, and in England these libraries quickly found an audience in women, many of whom had no access to the kind of money required to purchase books outright. In an attempt to maximize circulation (and therefore, fees) these libraries seized on novels, romances, and theatricals (among others) as books many would not necessarily purchase, but instead read once. I would guess that many in Austen's day would not have much room in their houses to support a heavy reading habit, either. The label above shows the most common label format I found, providing the name of the library, and an exhortation to return the book quickly.
*EC75.R9967.793h Inside front cover
The terms varied from library to library, but all included a yearly fee: a higher subscription fee entitled the reader to more access, as we see above, in that magazines privileges were included for the lucky few who paid more. Additionally, individual fees might be assessed, apparently based on the popularity of the book, and how long it had been part of the library.
*EC8.R2928.798kd Page 5
Plays were of course popular for putting on home theatricals. I cannot remember if Austen mentions how the many plays discussed in Mansfield Park were found, but a circulating library would have been one logical place. I do remember that Austen mentions circulating libraries later in Mansfield Park, when Fanny joins one to share her pleasure in reading with her sister Susan.
HEW 11.2.14 Cover
HEW 11.2.14 Inside front cover
Circulating libraries also stocked other items of interest, and I'm indebted to my friend Jeff Nigro for finding the exact quotation from Pride & Prejudice where Lydia mentions an unusual library use: "… her letters were always long expected, and always very short. Those to her mother contained little else, than that they were just returned from the library, where such and such officers had attended them, and where she had seen such beautiful ornaments as made her quite wild …" Ornaments, from a library? How about patent medicine?
*AC8.C7863.827rb Inside front cover
But the most fascinating label I discovered, was from a book "society," which like the subscription music libraries mentioned above was a far more specialized library. From the list of its members, I would guess that religion may have been its focus, but what interested me most was that this book clearly circulated from one to the other, in order of precedence.
Ironically, the book in which I found one of these labels was from the library of Harry Elkins Widener, a man less likely to use a circulating library, I can't imagine. But his love of books certainly rivaled that of the fervent readers who made circulating libraries function, so perhaps it is not so ironic after all.
Wishing all of our readers, fervent or not, a most happy Thanksgiving.

It seems like Windows and Android are joint at the hip and they seem to be inseparable on a number of dual-boot devices apart from some community-driven projects which have become old by now. On the other hand, Google's mobile OS and Windows Phone are not in a position to comfortably share a smartphone. But it is high time they start strengthening their bond because we have a report from The Times of India which says that a local manufacturer Karbonn is on its way to introduce the dual-boot handset which will most probably launch by the month of June. The basic idea behind this concept is to produce a range of split-personality devices, keeping in mind the professional and tech-savvy types.

Q: Assert element not on page I'm writing some authorization/role based front-end end to end tests using testcafe and need to ensure certain menu elements are not showing (negative case assertion) and cannot figure out how to assert that a selector does not match.
I have tried:
await t.expect(Selector('.m-menu__linktext').withText('Overview').innerText).notOk()

But that fails with:

Cannot obtain information about the node because the specified
  selector does not match any node in the DOM tree.

How do I assert that an selector does not match any element on a page?

A: Try
await t.expect(Selector('.m-menu__linktext').withText('Overview').exists).notOk();

Obviously, the primary benefit you're Looking for, when buying from a bulk supplier, is your best possible pricing. As we said, BulkSupplements.com prides themselves on providing"incredible" prices to customers. Don't just take their — or our — term for itif you do a bit of comparison shopping involving BulkSupplements.com and other fitness & health supplement sellers online on your own, you will see that their pricing promise isn't only empty words. Plus, in addition to their excellent rates, you can not only instantly receive 5 percent off your initial purchase when you sign up for their business newsletter, but you will also receive bigger discounts based on larger purchases. For products on the website, if you buy a couple of the item, you and you can obtain an extra 3 percent and 7 percent, respectively off.

For those people, a 7% discount would be highly welcomed. However prices will not mean much when the cost-savings is it will require the consumer, or if a provider makes shifts the costs to the consumer by making shipping much more expensive. BulkSupplements.com ensures neither of those situations happens when anyone purchases .
They offer free shipping on all purchases of $49 or more. Given the vast array of supplements you'll have the ability to store from on the website, and the going rate on the industry anyway, it will not be difficult to reach at that cost threshold.

If you are hoping to find Rock-bottom costs on health and fitness products offered from the"big name" manufacturers in the business, subsequently BulkSupplements.com will admittedly leave you frustrated. The website sells the supplements , rather than selling supplements created and packaged by other companies. The best way to think of this is comparable to when you are at the drug store or the supermarket. You'll see one item sold by many different brands in many different prices the store brand will be the most economical. Savvy shoppers know that more often than not (if not always), the store manufacturer provides the specific same quality of material since the"name manufacturers " Extending that analogy, think of BulkSupplements.com as a place where they just sell"store brand" supplements, which explains the reason why they can offer the costs they have.
Along similar lines, BulkSupplements.com keeps their manufacturing costs low, so they can interpret that cost-savings into the best possible rates for their clients. That means maintaining their packaging exactly the same over all of their supplements: you'll obtain the same ziplock bag, in different sizes (depending on the amount ordered), for each and every item. So, true, should you purchase multiple products from BulkSupplements.com and keep them at the exact same place in your house once you receive them, you might run into a situation in which you pick up the wrong luggage because they all look the same. A look through the customer reviews does reveal a few complaints that the zip-top bags don't stay sealed well, and clients wind up having to use tote clips or roll up the bag, to keep the bag sealed. Neither of those items are a big deal. Those people are looking for something which works and does not place them back an unnecessary quantity of money. To put it differently, they would rather enjoy the costs savings when purchasing a near-identical product, even when it comes with a couple minor drawbacks.


With support coming from Jacques Renault, Horse Meat Disco, James Zabiela, Keinemusik, Soul Clap, Tronik Youth, Nachtbraker, Hrdvsion and more comes "Gated Soul", the fourth release from London's Lossy on his Boot Cycle Audio imprint.
After releasing with Tru Thoughts, Tessier-Ashpool Recordings & Two Rivers Records, Lossy continues to switch things up with four tracks of a more soulful brand of electro with wonky rhodes, crunched-up breaks, plunging bass lines and drum machine medicine.
Here, 'To The Woods' rounds off the package on a velveteen note with light footed woodwinds swooping above a solid broken beat backone.

Q: Rails - Can parent models validate attribute values of the models that belong to them? In my app I have the following relationships:

*

*An order has many order_items

*An order_item has one product

*An order_item has a property for quantity (How much is the user
ordering?)

*And finally a product has a property stock (How much is left?)

Before submitting the order, I want to make sure that there is enough stock to fulfill the order quantity but I'm not sure where I should be doing this validation.
At the moment I have a before update action which checks stock levels before the update action:
def check_stock
  check_results = @order.order_items.collect do |item|
    if (item.product.stock < item.quantity)
      flash.now[:danger] = "Sorry, it looks like we're out of some of those things"
      false
    else
      true
    end
  end

   if check_results.include?(false)
      render "show"
      return false
   else
      @order.order_items.each do |item|
          item.remove_stock
      end
    end
end

It does it's job and blocks the update action, but it's not very elegant. Does anyone know of a better way? It feels like there should be a way to validate the quantity value of the order_item by manipulating the form... but yeah, not really sure how to go about it.

A: Take a look at 2.2 validates_associated explained on  http://guides.rubyonrails.org/active_record_validations.html
A rough idea is something like this
You would move the item.product.stock < item.quantity to your order_item.rb under a function something like validate_stock and change it to item.product.stock >= item.quantity. Then add validate :validate_stock to order_item.rb
Then add validates_associated :order_items in your order.rb
