No Fly Spray is a veterinary medicinal product for fly control on dairy cattle.
It prevents itches, unrest and nuisance caused by stinging flies on dairy cattle.
No fly spray is solvent free and is safe to use.
No Fly Spray contains pyrethrum extract and piperonyl butoxide.
Pyrethrum extract is an insecticide of natural origin. Pyrethrum extract has a broad range of effectiveness and is quickly degraded when exposed to light. It is a so-called nerve poison. The fly's nervous system is overstimulated and then quickly paralysed. The paralysis leads to the death of the fly. Piperonyl butoxide enhances and prolongs the effect of pyrethrum extract. Thus only a slight quantity of pyrethrum extract is necessary for No Fly Spray to be effective.
No Fly Spray combines a high level of effectiveness with a very low level of toxicity for humans and mammals.
After applying No Fly Spray withdrawal periods before milking or slaughtering of the cattle are not required.
Spray the product during 10 seconds on the cattle at a distance of 60 centimetres in uniform circular movements.
Especially spray the areas where flies gather, such as shoulders, the neck, horns, flanks and the base of the tail. Do not spray in the animal's eyes. Store in a frost-free place.

Benefits of Calcium Hydroxyapatite in Osteoporosis
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
Calcium and vitamin D supplementation is recommended in patients with osteopenia and osteoporosis. One group that could benefit from this treatment is women with senile osteoporosis. Two sources of supplementary calcium are ossein-hydroxyapatite complex (OHC) and calcium carbonate, but, to date, their comparative effects on bone metabolism have not been studied in women with senile osteoporosis. The objective of this study was to compare the effects of OHC and calcium carbonate on bone metabolism in women with senile osteoporosis.
This was a randomized, open-label, parallel-group, controlled, prospective study to compare the effects of OHC (treatment group) and calcium carbonate (control group) on bone metabolism. Patients were included between 2000 and 2004 and followed up for a maximum of 3 years. The study was carried out at the bone metabolism unit of two university hospitals in Barcelona, Spain. Subjects were women aged >65 years with densitometric osteoporosis of the lumbar spine or femoral neck. The treatment group received open-label OHC (Osteopor®) at a dose of two 830 mg tablets every 12 hours (712 mg elemental calcium per day). The control group received open-label calcium carbonate at a dose of 500 mg of elemental calcium every 12 hours (1000 mg elemental calcium per day). Both groups also received a vitamin D supplement (calcifediol 266 μg) at a dose of one vial orally every 15 days. Biochemical markers of bone remodelling (osteocalcin by electrochemiluminescence, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase using colorimetry) were measured at baseline and annually for 3 years. Bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine and femoral neck was also measured.
One hundred and twenty women were included (55 in the OHC group and 65 in the calcium carbonate group), of whom 54 completed 3 years of follow-up. Levels of serum osteocalcin increased to a greater extent in the OHC group compared with the calcium carbonate group (by a mean ± SD of 0.84 ± 3.13 ng/mL at year 2 and 1.86 ± 2.22 ng/mL at year 3 in the OHC group compared with a mean ± SD decrease of 0.39 ± 1.39 ng/mL at year 2 and an increase of 0.31 ± 2.51 ng/mL at year 3 in the calcium carbonate group), the differences between treatment groups were statistically significant (p < 0.05) at both years. Changes over time in serum osteocalcin level were also statistically significant (p < 0.05) in the OHC group, but not in the calcium carbonate group. Changes in mean BMD at the lumbar spine and femoral neck between baseline and year 3 were -1.1% and 2.5% for OHC and -2.3% and 1.2% for calcium carbonate, respectively.
OHC had a greater anabolic effect on bone than calcium carbonate.

Probably the most common question any acupuncturist hears is "Why that point?" or a variation on the theme, "What does that do?" Here's a little mini-acupuncture tip that might inspire you to try acupressure at home.
Now to why it's so popular. In English we call it Liver 3, but it's original name is Taichong, which translates roughly as 'Great Surge' or 'Great Rushing'. There's a lot of power in this point, and it's a point in charge of stagnation, so when you get that moving, it's a surge of movement, of energy, of release.
With acupuncture, each point can do many things, depending on how you use it. This is a Source Point, a Shu-stream point, and an Earth point, which basically means, this is a point where a whole bunch of energy comes in and goes out. This point is a mover and a shaker in a whole bunch of ways.
• Red/dry/painful eyes or blurred vision.
And that's seriously only a partial list.
The long and the short of it is, no matter who you are, this point can help you. It's a point that's great to activate when you're reading or watching a show: press, tap, rub, and just generally wake it up. It'll love you for it.

The Theme for Camera Club #1 Meeting, next week, is High Key.
High Key is defined as a uniform lighting pattern with very little modeling; it is exemplified with bright, often 'blown out' or overexposed backgrounds and properly exposed primary subjects. It was often used in early television, when the cameras did not cope well with high contrast differences. ETA: Another Definition: High contrast with mostly highlights & little shadow detail.
It is still used frequently for various purposes. The name comes from the main light (key light) in a lighting set up. Since this is the theme, I'm going to post several items which I'm considering entering this round. Then I'll let y'all know how your responses stack up to the On-Site Judge. That is, of course, if the score sheets are published in a timely manner... I'm still waiting for Augusts to be posted.
Huh. That is a radically different definition of High Key than what I am used to.
What is the definition you are used to? I admit, it's a quick lookup to a site which is not always as accurate as could be. However, it did fit... mostly.
Of course, there is also the "positioning your key light high", like butterfly lighting, but that's a different ball of wax.
Hmm... by that definition I am not sure this particular version of 'Rocks' would be high-key.


The release of the new Daniel Craig & Harrison Ford film "Cowboys and Aliens" has reminded me of my childhood.
I was an avid Eagle comic reader and Dan Dare fan and possessed a Dan Dare cosmic ray gun.
This was basically a torch which allowed you to change the colour of the beam from white to red or green (which looked great in the dark but not so clever in sunlight and looked like the one on the photograph except it was yellow).
Problem was most of my pals were still into "cowboys and indians" and were toting cap pistols which fired from a roll and so enhanced a basic six-shooter to a 100 shot revolver. My cosmic ray gun didn't make too much noise either so my pals tended not to play dead when I zapped them.
At some point I remember getting a life-size colt 45 replica/toy gun which had realistic looking cartridges. You had to place a single cap in each cartridge so when you had fired off all six it took ages to re-load whilst everyone else was blasting off 100 cap rolls and reloading them in seconds.
But at heart I was a spaceman – and I still love the genre – and that Dan Dare ray gun was a great toy to have. Apart from blasting aliens, and cowboys, I could also read with it under the blankets and catch up on the latest battle with the evil Mekon.

Urban Meyer has honest assessment of NFL career so far
"To say that I envisioned 2-9, I did not."
NFLBy Sean Keeley on December 2, 2021
To say that Urban Meyer's first season as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars has been uneventful would be incorrect. It's just that most of those events have been pretty negative.
Meyer's team started the season by continuing their long-standing losing streak and things got really awkward when videos and photos of him at a bar with a young woman went viral, causing ownership to sternly rebuke him publicly. Despite concerns he could lose his job or might just quit and return to college football, Meyer stuck it out and has overseen a largely disappointing season that currently stands at 2-9. While the Jags were expected to be bad, some might argue they didn't think the team would be this bad.
Count Meyer among them.
"To say that I envisioned 2-9, I did not," Meyer said, via News 4 Jacksonville. "I envisioned we would be a little cleaner team at this point. But I've coached a long time, studied this game a long time, I knew that week in week out, you're facing the best players on the planet. But I thought we'd be a little cleaner by this point, certainly on offense."
Trevor Lawrence struggled out of the gate for Jacksonville and, despite a couple of wins that seemed to signal the ship was turning around, the team has settled into a new losing streak. The Jaguars also have yet to score more than 23 points in a game this season and only have five touchdowns in the five games they've played since beating Miami.
The Jaguars went up-tempo in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Falcons and Meyer at least seems encouraged by the results.
"I like it. I like to change tempos on people, and I think we did it 18 times in the game. It was very efficient for us. Once again, teams will be more prepared for it. It's a two-edged sword I just told you about," he said. "You run a lot of zone read, you better have the compliments off it. If you run up-tempo, you better be prepared for some kind of pressure now, it's this, so we have to be ready. But it was very successful for us."
We'll see if the Jaguars can keep that tempo up against the Los Angeles Rams, who feature one of the toughest defenses in the NFL. Truth be told, if Urban didn't foresee 2-9, we'll have to check back in when, assumedly, the team is 2-10.

Wedding ceremonies, Bar/Bat Mitzvah services and receptions, parties of all kinds- The NY Troubadours bring a cool, earth-friendly dimension to your event.
The NY Troubadours Filled Our Daughter's Wedding With Love!
The NY Troubadours played for our daughter's August, 2015 wedding in a remote location in Stokes State Forest, NJ. They arrived early and set up quickly. They played and sang the extensive prearranged playlist of oldies that really got our guests hopping. We received many complements from our guests regarding their performance. We would recommend them to anyone needing sweetly harmonizing professionals that can share their love of music with a wide ranging audience of different ages and backgrounds. We loved them!
If you want a wide selection of music, gorgeous harmonies, great musicianship, and people easy and fun to work with, check out the New York Troubadours! They provided the ceremonial and celebratory music for our son's bar mitzvah, and it was the number one thing people talked about during and after the party. The music in the service was uplifting and inviting and the party music was strikingly good. Our guests actually applauded the band after many of the songs.
If guests would like to be able to hear each other as well as the band, The NY Troubadours provide a kinder, gentler alternative to loud and frenetic party music. We can sound like Simon and Garfunkel or the Stones, or Coldplay, and our personalities are friendly and mellow. Songs range from 1920s and 30s jazz to Elvis to current indie pop, with lots of classics of the 60s and 70s. Twin lead singers Sam and Nick have a fabulous vocal blend. The drummer generally plays cajon (box brum), resulting in a small footprint and very a portable band, comfortable in intimate parties, outdoor settings, and just about any imaginable venue. We are appreciated by audiences of all ages, and clients are welcome to request their favorite songs.
We are a very low footprint group, requiring about 12' X 6' for the quartet, less for the trio. We have a sound system that is adequate for approximately 300 guests. We can perform outdoors with or without amplification.

Q: Access Repository to fragment presenter, in MVP model and dagger2 I am using repository pattern in mvp with dagger .In App scope I binded my  RemoteDataSource and LocalDataSource:
@Binds
    @AppScope
    @Remote
    abstract MainDataSource RemoteDataSource(RemoteDataSource remoteDataSource);

    @Binds
    @AppScope
    @Local
    abstract MainDataSource LocalDataSource(LocalDataSource localDataSource);

And i injected main repository in app scope:
 @Inject
    public MainRepository(@Remote MainDataSource remoteDataSource,
                          @Local MainDataSource localDataSource) {
        this.remoteDataSource = checkNotNull(remoteDataSource);
        this.localDataSource = checkNotNull(localDataSource);
    }

Now in fragment scope in mainpresenter i passed MainRepository in it's contractor :
@MainFragScope
@Component(modules = {MainFragModule.class}, dependencies = AppComponent.class)
public interface MainFragComponent {

Presenter constructor:
private MainDataSource remoteDataSource;
private MainDataSource localDataSource;
 @Inject
    public MainPresenter(MainRepository repository, ArrayAdapter<String> typesAdapter) {
        this.repository = checkNotNull(repository);
        this.typesAdapter = checkNotNull(typesAdapter);
    }
@Override
public void loadChart(String district, String date, String type) {
    remoteDataSource.loadChart(district,date,type);
}

In RemoteDataSource i have a method called loadChart and it's job is fetch data from remote server by retrofit:
   public void loadChart(String district, String date, String type) {
        JsonObject joParam = new JsonObject();
        apiService.getAnalyticalReport(joParam).enqueue(new Callback<ResponseBody>() {
            @Override
            public void onResponse(Call<ResponseBody> call, Response<ResponseBody> response) {
                try {
                    if (response.isSuccessful()) {
                    // need presenter reference to pass response to it

After fetching data i need to return this data from server to fragment presenter(MainPresenter).I need to presenter reference. How could i get presenter without destroy mvp roles!!? Because in AppScope i do not access to MainPresenter.

A: IMHO in native way, before solving the communication between MainPresenter and remoteDataSource, it could be nice solving the one that between MainDataSource and MainRepositoryfirstly. Because there is a bridge something like this
Presenter --> MainRepository --> MainDataSource
MainDataSource and MainRepository could provide an interface for its users to communicate.  Also with this way, MainDataSource or MainRepository won't need MainPresenter
So the data transferring will be like this,

*

*MainRepository(Implements interface A) --> MainDataSource(provides
interface A)

*MainPresenter(Implements interface B) --> MainRepository(provides
interface B)

Abstract A superconducting cavity designed to operate at ELETTRA at the third harmonic of the main RF frequency, 1.5 GHz, has been constructed in the frame of the SUPER-3HC collaboration with CEA, SLS and CERN. The 2-cells Nb-Cu cavity, derived from the SOLEIL design, was installed on the ELETTRA storage ring during the summer 2002 shutdown. After a commissioning period it was operated for the first time during user shifts in February 2003. Activation of the 3rd harmonic cavity allows to stabilize longitudinally the beam at 2.0 GeV, 300 mA, due to the Landau damping induced by the cavity. At the same time the beam lifetime is increased by about a factor 2. The cavity is now routinely operated during user shifts at 2.0 GeV. We will discuss the performance of the cavity and of the cryogenic plant along with the first results of the beam-cavity interaction studies.

Валерий Григорьевич Макрушин (14 января 1940, пос. Сайдобад, Булакбашинский район, Андижанская область, Узбекская ССР — 2003?) — член группы спецконтингента, космонавт-испытатель Центрального конструкторского бюро машиностроения (ЦКБМ).

Биография

Ранние годы и образование
Макрушин родился 14 января 1940 года в поселке Сайдобад в Узбекской ССР в семье участника Великой Отечественной войны Макрушина Григория Павловича и Кляузовой Веры Андреевны. Отучился 9 классов в школе поселка Сайдобад, а 10-й класс — в Москве. В 1957 по окончании школы поступил в Ленинградский институт авиационного приборостроения (ЛИАП), которое окончил в 1963 году по специальности инженер-электромеханик.

Окончив институт, работал с 1963 по 1972 год работал в ОКБ-52 в разных должностях.

Космическая подготовка
Получив 16 октября 1968 года допуск Главной медицинской комиссии к спецподготовке, 23 марта 1973 года решением Государственной межведомственной комиссии был отобран в группу. Прослушал курс лекций по системам ОПС и ВА в ЦКБМ и Центре подготовки космонавтов имени Ю. А. Гагарина, прошёл парашютную и летную подготовку в Коломенском аэроклубе и в аэроклубе ДОСААФ города Серпухов.

С 1971 года участвовал в испытаниях на летающей лаборатории Ту-104 АК для подготовки космонавтов в условиях кратковременного воздействия невесомости по программе «Алмаз».

7 июня 1973 года приказом Генерального конструктора Владимира Николаевича Челомея был назначен начальником группы космонавтов-испытателей ЦКБМ (НПО машиностроения). Будучи командиром группы космонавтов, участвовал в создании «Аналога» — наземного двойника орбитальной пилотируемой станции «Алмаз». Был командиром экипажа наземного комплекса «Аналог» во время полетов станций «Салют-3» и «Салют-5».

В 1976 году принимал участие в самолетных испытаниях ВА № 0010/1.

В 1979 входил в состав условного экипажа (Глазков Юрий Николаевич, Макрушин, Степанов Эдуард Николаевич). До 1982 года совместно с группой космонавтов готовился к испытательным полетам на транспортном корабле снабжения.

За время работы в группе космонавтов занимался разработкой бортовой документации на орбитальные пилотируемые станции «Алмаз» — «Салют-2», «Салют-3», «Салют-5».

С 1987 года на пенсии.

В 2003 году пропал без вести.

Cathay And GV In Talks For A Potential Merger To Overcome Financial Losses Caused By COVID-19
Jae Chia
The parent company of Cathay cinemas, mm2 Asia, is currently in talks with Golden Village cinemas' parent company Orange Sky Golden Harvest Entertainment (Holdings) Limited (OSGH) about a potential merger.
Mm2 Asia is Singapore-listed and owns eight cinemas in Singapore under the Cathay brand. It also owns 14 cinemas in Malaysia under the Cathay Cineplexes Malaysia, Mega Cinemas and Lotus Fivestar labels.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong-listed OSGH operates a total of 35 cinemas across Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore. In Singapore alone, it has 14 Golden Village cinemas.
Currently, the merger deal faces several hurdles.
It needs to get approval from both mm2 Asia and OSGH shareholders, Singapore Exchange (SGX) and Hong Kong Exchange, as well as relevant government authorities such as the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore.
To add on, the heads of agreement will be terminated if the terms cannot be agreed upon, or the conditions of the proposed transaction satisfied, by 31 December 2021.
However, if the deal goes through, the new combined cinema operator would be the largest in Singapore.
A Merger Will Help To Overcome COVID-19 Related Challenges

Should the merger go through, the two companies aim to bring in new investors to inject more capital in to the combined business.
A merger with Golden Village would give both cinema businesses "more financial and operating stability," said mm2 Asia in a filing with SGX.
Both cinema operators have faced hefty challenges in running their businesses since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Entertainment venues in Singapore, including cinemas, were forced to close for close to four months due to the pandemic.
Although cinemas have reopened since July 2020, they have not been able to operate at full capacity due to social distancing measures and a limit on total capacity.
Furthermore, most people have turned to content streaming applications such as Netflix, which has led to a general disruption of the movie and cinema industry.
According to The Straits Times, Golden Village Singapore made a loss of HK$16.9 million (S$2.9 million) from January to June this year.
This has prompted the cinema operator to diversify into other revenue streams, such as launching a first-of-its-kind work-from-lounge concept in its Gold Class Lounge.
Meanwhile, mm2 Asia sank to a net loss of S$22.4 million from January to September this year. In the year-ago period, it made a profit of S$9.18 million.
Mm2 Asia also said that all the parties involved are in the midst of negotiating the financial terms.
"The merger would therefore result in a stronger platform for the operation of the cinema business," said mm2 Asia.

In this article, I make a plea for a combination of Ted Schatzki's and Jean Hillier's approaches. After a short introduction, I identify and discuss central aspects of Schatzki's social site approach and Hillier's strategic planning approach. I then argue that Schatzki's social site approach might be more convincing and usable for practical research in geography if aspects of power, which are central to Hillier's argumentation, are integrated. Following Lukes's (2005) so-called radical view of power, various concepts are discussed and integrated both on the socio-spatial arrangement and the practices levels. Based on this argumentation, I go on to suggest that the multiplanar theory of spatial planning might be enlarged with Schatzki's conception of practices while dropping a specific understanding of Foucault's dispositif concept, which is incompatible with the activity-centered argumentation favored by Hillier. Contrary to a strictly Foucauldian perspective in which socio-spatial phenomena are grasped as results of dispositifs of power and individual activities are neglected, the combination of Schatzki's and Hillier's approaches suggested here allows a theory that understands sociality and spatial planning as a bottom-up process that emerges from the activities of the entities involved as well as from their contextualizing sites in the form of socio-spatial agencements and planning practices. In a final step, I summarize the advantages of my suggested combination of central aspects of both approaches.


The Carroll County Thousand Acre Recreation Lake is the newest addition to water-based fun in West Tennessee. This brand-new lake opened for the first time on the first day of spring, 2013. The March 20th opening was the culmination of 14 years of planning and required coordination and permits from both federal and state agencies to finally be completed. Officials from several agencies joined the Carroll County Watershed Authority officers and about 200 interested citizens as the first fishing boat launched to enjoy what is expected to be excellent fishing. More than 600,000 fish have been planted in the lake over the past three years and allowed to grow to maturity. A local bass tournament club conducted a 'test fish' event on the lake earlier and caught over 400 fish during their trial. They have already declared that Carroll County Thousand Acre Recreation Lake will be their signature home lake for upcoming tournaments.
During planning and construction the lake had been called Carroll County Lake, but a contest was held to give the lake an official name. 'Carroll County Thousand Acre Recreation Lake' was the official name chosen. Locals will likely shorten the name back to Carroll County Lake in daily speech. A more formal opening event is planned for Memorial Day, 2013. By that time it is expected that boat slips and a restaurant will be completed. Two public sand beaches have been constructed, and swimming areas will be marked off with buoys. Public restroom/bathhouse facilities have been built. The lake will be open for waterskiing, tubing, pontooning, sailing and most water sports. No-wake zones will be marked. An old home on the property has been renovated to act as a lakeside gathering place and office space for lake management and a concessionaire. A wide veranda invites people to sit and enjoy lakefront festivities, and a 7.3 mile walking trail along the shoreline is in the planning stages. Access permits will be available by the day or the season, with lifetime access permits available for Carroll County residents.
Already, fishermen are excited about the new fishing opportunities at Carroll County Thousand Acre Recreation Lake. Expected catches will include largemouth bass, breem or bluegill, red-ear sunfish, crappie, blue catfish and channel catfish. Three hundred acres near the dam are reserved for fishing only and managed by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. A fishing license is required, and creel limits are set by the TWRA. The entire lake is open to fishing, with the many coves and branches providing excellent areas for anglers. Wildlife have already discovered the new lake, and bald eagles are already seen in the trees overlooking the expanse of water. It is expected that paddle sports fans will enjoy the area along the 22 miles of shoreline. .
In order to facilitate development along Carroll County Thousand Acre Recreation Lake, sewer service has been extended from nearby Huntingdon and subdivision areas have been zoned. Already lots are for sale along the new waterfront. The Carroll County Watershed Authority owns 50 feet back from the water's edge, but homeowners will be able to purchase permits for a personal dock, with accommodations for commercial docking facilities in the areas zoned as commercial development. New housing is expected to revitalize the Carroll County area with new economic development as new business moves in.
The nearby small city of Huntingdon is eagerly awaiting the benefits they expect from the new recreation lake. Already a new shooting range has been constructed, and a new archery range will soon be finished. Huntingdon has spruced up its nearly 200-year-old downtown area, the crowning touch being the Dixie Carter Performing Arts and Academic Enrichment Center and the Hal Holbrook Theatre. Before her 2010 death, Dixie Carter (best known for her role as Julia Sugarbaker in Designing Women) supported the development of the Center financially, and her husband Hal Holbrook was instrumental in the planning stages. As a Tennessee native, Miss Carter enjoyed showing how attractive life could be in a rural small town. The Center is a fine addition to the community and supports regular concerts, a children's choir and various artistic events. Throughout the year Huntingdon hosts a Heritage Festival, Memorial Day celebration, flea markets and events at the city's Civic Center. Lodgings are available in Huntingdon such as a hotel and motels, with plenty of restaurants and shops to round out any visit.
A dam constructed across Reedy Creek created Carroll County Thousand Acre Lake. The lake's construction addressed the county's need for a recreational resource and its need to remediate environmental concerns. Because of long years of farming, straightening of creeks, and draining of wetlands, the watershed experienced erosion and flooding. From a place that early settlers referred to as having '50 bushel of frogs per acre', many acres of wetlands disappeared. Carroll County was in decline, with little recreation to attract visitors and new development. Although the new reservoir drowned 100+ acres of remaining wetlands, 300 acres along the shoreline, previously drained for farming, will be returned to wetland with the planting of mixed wetland trees to welcome wildlife. Additional remediation involved nearby Crooked Creek. Although the creek had been straightened in previous years, destroying acres of wetlands, 2.3 miles of the creek have been restored to its natural meandering course.
Six federal and state agencies were involved in the project, including the US Army Corps of Engineers, which resulted in the largest mitigation in the history of the Corp's southeast region. The project was so successful that the Carroll County Watershed Authority and its consulting engineer, J. R. Wauford & Company Consulting Engineers, Inc., were recognized as Grand Award winners by the American Council of Engineering Companies of Tennessee for the design of the Carroll County 1000-Acre Recreation Lake project. Originally estimated to cost about $10 million dollars, the 14-year process more than doubled the final cost. Carroll County residents voted for a $10 'wheel tax' to pay for the new lake, and federal and state grants paid for the rest of the cost. The benefits of fishing revenue, flood reduction, and wetland mitigation outweigh the construction costs, considering that fishing is one of the top revenue-generating sports in the world.
Carroll County Thousand Acre Recreation Lake is located along US Highway 70 between the towns of Jackson and Huntingdon, the county seat of Carroll County. Entry to the lake is from Highway 70, via Baker Road to Reedy Creek Road, to the lake office, beach and boat ramp. If you're visiting the West Tennessee area, a stop at Carroll County 1000 Acre Recreation Lake is a must. The fish are biting, and summer will bring swimming and boating activities into full swing. Be one of the first to visit the lake and look over new building lots.

Many people have the wrong impression that traveling around the world is always expensive and is something that requires a lot of resources to pull off. While it does take a reasonable amount of preparation to ensure that your trip won't go south at the worst possible time, you should be able to pull it off without breaking the bank.
However, in some cases, it's definitely worth spending a little more than the usual to ensure that your trip won't suffer from some common issues, and part of the experience a good traveler picks up along the way is the ability to know when the time is right to splurge.
The most obvious candidates here are sites you simply can't see without paying the entrance fee, even when it's a premium one. If you can't figure out a "free" or cheap way to circumvent the restrictions – while still staying within reasonable legal bounds – it's always best to just pay whatever is asked of you and be on your way. There are some places that will charge you up with energy like no other, and it makes sense to go the extra mile in those cases.
You'll also often find yourself in situations where a part of your trip is nothing more than waiting to close some distance. In those cases, if you can afford it, it makes a lot of sense to go with a premium provider like Twin Cities Car Service. The difference in the quality of your trip can be huge, especially when you have to make several connections that might take a lot of time otherwise. Just make sure that you also set aside enough time to "manually" explore the areas that matter the most in your current trip.
When visiting some less stable countries, it's definitely worth spending the money on experienced guides who know how to keep you out of trouble. Finding yourself kidnapped – or worse – is, unfortunately, a real possibility even in some countries with heavy tourism, so make sure that you heed the warnings of locals and go with someone who knows the area when the situation arises. If you don't feel comfortable taking such a risk, it's best to not even visit such countries in the first place until you've gained enough experience, but that's up to you to decide. Just remember that a bit of money can go a long way here.

Yes we did make it here…it only took us 23 1/2 hrs from when we left our house till we arrived at Grandma's. After four different planes and a high speed hovercraft, we were so tired that I didn't think I could take another step without collapsing. But we are now settled in and I am enjoying our visit very much.
The food is one of the things I look forward to…such a different variety from what we have in Canada. My favourite is unagi which is barbecued eel. This may sound gross to some but it is the most delicious seafood I have ever tasted. Also the people and the culture are so unique that I always feel like I am in a different world. But I love being here and would move to Japan at the drop of a hat. Probably the only thing that I have problems with is sleeping on the tatami floor on a futon. My back just can't seem to get use to it. And the tiny houses and confined spaces are a bit claustrophobic.
We will also be visiting Hong Kong to see our adopted daughter who lived with us for eight years. She has planned a whole tour for us while we are there. We can't wait to see her.
But of course I haven't forgotten that I am still part of the Beautiful You program. Amanda, my exercise trainer, has set me up with exercises I can do anywhere. I use an exercise tube with handles that can be used to do all kinds of exercises. I missed doing any formal workout because of travel and jet lag, but have now started my workouts. Grandma sits here and laughs at me and tries to imitate what I do. She was so surprised how much different I look from when she saw me last…especially the weight loss and body conditioning. She is really proud of me.
Well, back to the Beautiful You news. We did a couple of photo shoots before I left – one at Visions Spa and the other at Saskatoon Smiles. Of course, The Sandbox and durand's provided the clothes and shoes.
I am starting to get use to these elaborate events. But I just about cried when I realized that these were my last shoots. We always have such fun and I will miss everyone so much. All the Beautiful You team members are so good to me. They always did their best for me and I will be forever grateful. I would readily recommend any of them for the services they provide.
I still have about 10 more lbs. that I would like to lose in the next one and half months. Denise and her staff at Gails Weight Loss Centre have guided me through this year. They even gave me a list of Asian protein alternatives that I could reference when I looked for protein while here is Japan….tofu and beans anyone? The support and accountability have helped me enormously. There is nothing they can't do when it comes to helping clients with nutrient and weight loss. I am sure that I will be able to use the education and information they provided for me for the rest of my life. That is worth so much to me.
Merle Norman in Scotia Centre has become my home away from home. I love that place. Not only do they make me look fantastic but they have made me a part of their "store family". Paulette, Renea and Lindsey have done everything in their power to make a Beautiful You out of me. I can use all the help I can get!
The products and services they carry are all inclusive and I will be their customer forever. An example of their outstanding service….the day before I was to leave on holidays, Paulette phoned and said she had a new mascara she thought I should take with me and offered to even deliver it to my house if I was to busy to come and get it. Now that's what I call service beyond the call of duty. And yes the long lash mascara is wonderful…it goes on so evenly and makes my lashes so much longer.
Belle Sante has a couple more procedures they would like to treat me to and then I will be "perfect". Ha! Ha!. Do check out their website for information on all that they offer. It is very informative.
I am really looking forward to the Beautiful You Open House on May 8th. I would love to meet all of you who have followed this blog. Please do come out to the Delta Bessborough for a night of information and fun, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. Fill out an application and you could be the next Beautiful You. It is possible…that's exactly how it happened to me!
VI PREPARES FOR THE BIG FINALE! WHAT A BIG DIFFERENCE IN MY APPEARANCE!

Q: How to select the right TVS/fuse combination? I am working on a design featuring the MP1495S switching regulator. The regulator will take 12 V and output 5 V. The maximum current I want to allow at the output of the regulator is 3 A.

*

*Am I correct in thinking that this implies a max. current of 1.25 A at 12 V at the input?

*I want to protect the input of the regulator using a PTC and a TVS, and need help selecting the correct ones. Would the 0ZCG0260FF2C combined with the SMBJ12A work?
I looked at the electrical characteristics of the 0ZCG0260FF2C but I don't fully understand how the rated voltage relates to the trip and hold current. They mention "rated current", so they probably mean trip current?
EDIT: I realized I probably need a bidirectional TVS to also protect against reverse voltage, so should I use the SMBJ12CA instead?

A: *

*No, You'll need slightly more input power than output power. It depends on the efficiency of the converter as a whole. For example if it has an efficiency of say 90%, then you'll need about 1.4A at 12V (16.8W) at the input to get 5V 3A (15W) at the output. The extra power is used by the components to carry out the conversion, there would also be loses due to heat. That's why you would want to select an inductor with as low a DCR (direct current resistance) as possible and MOSFETS with as low an Rdson and gate charge (getting both low usually leads to more expensive devices) as possible (in your case with this controller, the MOSFETS are embedded so no choice to be made).

*For me, I would just follow the typical application circuit that some manufacturers are nice enough to give. Your IC has one on page 15 of the datasheet that shows a circuit for your requirements of 5v 3A output. You could just go with that.
(On a side note these guys are pretty great for showing so many different circuits for different output options, I don't usually see that many!).

Are you excited for the 2017 Cat Lovers Hop to begin????? I sure am!!!
I am here with a quick post to show you this fab Cat Lovers Hop sneak peek emailed to me by my crafty pal D.Ann of D.Ann's Crafting Whims. WOWZA!! Look at all those awesome cat projects!!! D.Ann often has fun extra features... (pssst....sometimes there's even a giveaway!) ....during Cat Lovers Hop Week, so you will want to visit her blog each day of the Hop (Oct. 23-28)!!
Not sure what super-cool thing D.Ann did with my Hop Badge graphic for this photo, but I think she indicated that her printer was merely running out of ink!! Ha. I totally love the fab effect.....our sweet diva Perdita looks wild in those surreal colors!!!
D.Ann also has started a hashtag for the Hop: #CatLoversHop2017. I don't have a device that can post to Instagram (although I sure do seem to spend a lot of time over there commenting and trying to win stuff!! Ha.) but I would love for everyone to tag their Cat Lovers Hop photos with it if you are posting your things on social media. THANKS!

Accomodation in apartmanets "Center" offers you everything as accommodation at local hotels, but under the reasonable price. They are located in a building built in 2014 in a quiet street in the center of Kragujevac, only 50 meters from the main street. Nearby is a large number of shops, bars, restaurants and clubs (pedestrian zone, central city park, Šumarice, theater, gymnasium ...) all of those places you can reach in a few minutes of walk so you can leave your car on a free parking spot without any additional cost. At the moment we are offering two of the two-bed apartments, both are 26m2 large and faced towards back yard of building, and therefore both of our apartments are ideal oasis of peace and quiet in the middle of the city. Also the owners could arrange TAXI transport to Belgrade Airport, or any other place in Serbia.
Apartments are categorized with four stars by Tourist Organization of Kragujevac, in accordance with their regulations of renting private accommodations, and also are listed in the official offerings of Tourist Organization of Kragujevac.
Prices are more than reasonable especially when we take in mind location and quality of apartments.


We celebrate a Costa del Sol that does not correspond to the cliches, a Costa del Sol that is all right rather than all wrong, a playground of green valleys and gilded mountain tops, a hidden idyll unknown to most visitors, a haven for dedicated walkers and adventurous tourists alike, a place in which every nook is graced with some gratifying discovery and every outing is a great adventure. The majority of walks are aimed at the adventurous leisure walker, people who will on the whole have some experience of hiking in mountains, are happy to invest a certain amount of effort for a corresponding reward. Covering the best preserved stretch of coastline, the prettiest villages, and most spectacular mountains, Walk! Costa del Sol explores the Axarquia region east of Malaga, an area blessed with grand summits, dizzying pinnacles, dramatic crags, deep ravines, delightful streams, stunning views, and the finest coves on the Costa del Sol, and all of it knitted together by a network of paths, trails, tracks and lanes so beguiling that walking is by far the best way to explore this lovely landscape. THE COAST: TORRE DEL MAR, TORROX COSTA, NERJA, MARO are well-placed for accessing the itineraries between Canillas de Aceituno and Competa. THE MOUNTAINS: THE SIERRAS DE TEJEDA and ALMIJARA The Sierra is a discrete massif defined by cliffs, gullies and gorges, and culminating in the Iberian Peninsula's westernmost 2000 metre summit (La Maroma, Walk 35), while the Sierra Almijara comprises numerous mini-ranges separated by canyons. The traditional dividing point between the two sierras is Puerto de Competa, which we visit in Walk 36. The joys of these mountains are manifold, including bulbous karstic domes and vertiginous pinnacles, dramatic cliffs draped with ragged crags and grand ridges dominating the glittering blue sea; there are uplands patched with ancient pastures and dotted with the ruins of remote cortijos (farmhouses), there are terraces stippled with olive and almond trees, hillsides swaddled in a buttery blanket of yellow-flowering shrubs, valleys flanked by shady forests of conifer and cork oak, and fabulous ravines twisting between towering chicanes (known as cahorros) and tipping over spectacular waterfalls into deep plunge pools, all accessible within 15 minutes of the coast. THE WHITE VILLAGES The Pueblos Blancos of Andalusia with their whitewashed walls and red-tiled roofs are justly famous and the Axarquia does not disappoint in this respect. The best known pueblos blancos and the main gateway destinations for walkers are Competa and Frigiliana. West of Competa are some of the region's prettiest villages, the two Canillas (Aceituno and Albaida), Sedella, Salares and Archez. Walk! Costa del Sol (Axarquia) together with Costa del Sol Tour & Trail Map will give you a series of adventures you'll never forget.Each walk is fully described and accompanied by a detailed map and colour photos, plus an information bar that helps you easily choose the right routes for you, based on difficulty, distance, time needed, ascents and descents and more.

**Age as of Feb. 24, 2016:** 51


Not your average Monday: what's so special about 29th February?
Happy Leap Day! The 29th of February comes around every four years, but how much do you know about this extra day?
Originally the Sumerians divided the year into 12 months and allocated 30 days for each month. This was adapted by the Egyptians, who realised that this didn't fit in with the amount of time taken for the Earth to orbit the sun. The Egyptians decided to add five days in at the end of each year to give us the 365 days we have now; however, these five days were just for partying and celebrations – sounds good, right?! The leap year then came about from the Gregorian calendar, with the idea that one day would be added onto February every four years.
No one seems to know why it is called a 'leap' year, but there are other names for it around the world. In German a leap year is called 'Schaltjhar', in Russian it is 'année bissextile' and in French it is similar with 'anno bisestile'. Interestingly in Italian it is called 'l'ann d'la baleina' which translates to 'the whale's year', after a belief that whales only give birth during leap years. In many countries a leap year is believed to be bad luck; Russia and the Ukraine believe that getting married or buying a house during a leap year is unlucky. In Taiwan it is considered really unlucky; the Taiwanese go so far as to say that parents are more likely to die during a leap year.
What's all this about women proposing?
Perhaps the most well-known leap year tradition is the idea that women can propose to men in this year. This is believed to be introduced by an Irish nun who thought that women had to wait too long for suitors to propose and convinced St Patrick to give women permission to ask a man to marry them once every four years. It was thought that if a woman did want to propose she had to wear breaches or scarlet petticoats in order to do so.
In certain European countries it was thought that if a man refused the proposal they should pay a penalty. In Finland they had to buy the lady fabric so she could make her own skirt. In Denmark, the suitor had to buy her twelve pairs of gloves so the lady could hide her embarrassment at not having an engagement ring.
What if you're born on 29th February?
People born on the 29th have to decide which day to celebrate their birthday for the other three years. However the chances of being born on the 29th of February are 1 in 1,461. For those that are born on this day, the city of Anthony (next to Texas) celebrates the leap year with a four-day festival; this is done to celebrate the leap year babies' birthdays. There are also Facebook groups for people born on this day, and many restaurants and retailers offer 'leap day' deals.
Is it your birthday today? Or did you propose?! Tell us about it!
Are you learning an endangered language?
We're now into the third week of our uTalk Challenge! Over 350 people are taking part and over 40 languages have been chosen to learn! The most popular languages are some of the most spoken ones in the world like Polish, Spanish and Japanese.
Interestingly, we also have some endangered languages chosen. UNESCO publishes a list of the languages that are classed as endangered; there are five different levels, from Vulnerable (most children speak the language but only in restricted places) to Extinct (no one speaks the language anymore). Some of these surprised as me as Welsh, Scottish Gaelic and Irish are all on the UNESCO list. Hawaiian is on the list as 'critically endangered', which is one level away from being extinct, due to the speakers of the language being the oldest generation of the family.
There are around 660,000 speakers left of this language and although spoken in Europe it's not classed as the Indo-European family of languages, potentially due to it being totally unique, with no similarities to any other languages. There are many theories on where the Basque language comes from, but none of these have conclusive evidence. One of our uTalk Challengers, Patricia, is learning Basque and quickly selected 'garagardoa' as her favourite word for beer in any language! Find out why in her video.
It is quite clear that Scottish Gaelic is spoken in some parts of Scotland, mainly in the Western Isles. It is one of the three languages in Scotland, with English and Scots also being spoken. Scots is also classed as an Endangered language, but on a lower level than Scottish Gaelic. There are around 60,000 people who speak Scottish Gaelic still. However, across many Scottish schools the introduction of Scottish Gaelic began in the 1980s, with it now being taught across primary and middle schools.
Welsh is Britain's oldest language, dating back to around 4,000 years ago. Today there are 750,000 speakers; this is around 20% of the Welsh population. Welsh is most popular in the west of the country; however, there is evidence that more schools in Wales are now teaching the language. Within Wales there are two main dialects, North and South Walian. It is hard to establish where these two dialects cross over, as they both have different accents, vocabulary and grammar points. Liz and Nat from the EuroTalk office are learning Welsh for the challenge (in fact Nat's already completed the app because she's much better at languages than the rest of us!).
This is one of the six main languages in Senegal. Originally written with an Arabic alphabet, it was then standardised using the Latin alphabet. A lot of Wolof speakers use French loan words when speaking the language, which could be one of the reasons Wolof has become an endangered language. In certain urban areas of Senegal people use a mix of Arabic, French and Wolof but in Gambia they use English words as loan words instead.
Do you speak any endangered languages? Please let us know on Twitter or our Facebook page. Or if you'd like to learn an endangered language, you can find all of the above and more in our uTalk app.

(NEW YORK) — As the COVID-19 pandemic has swept the globe, more than 5.4 million people have died from the disease worldwide, including over 826,000 Americans, according to real-time data compiled by Johns Hopkins University's Center for Systems Science and Engineering.
About 62% of the population in the United States is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Here's how the news is developing. All times Eastern:
South Korea reports first 2 omicron deaths
South Korea on Monday reported the deaths of two patients in their 90s who tested positive for omicron.
Both were receiving treatment in Gwangju, about 200 miles south of Seoul, the semi-official Yonhap News Agency said.
South Korean health officials reported 111 new omicron cases on Monday, bringing its total to 1,318 omicron cases.
About 83% of South Korea's population has been fully vaccinated, according to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency. About 36% received a booster.
Israel approves 4th vaccine dose for people 60 and over
Israel's Ministry of Health approved a fourth dose of COVID-19 vaccine for health care workers and people over 60 years old, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said.
"Israel will once again be pioneering the global vaccination effort," Bennett said at a press conference in Jerusalem. "Omicron is not Delta — it's a different ball-game altogether."
Fourth doses will be administered four months after booster shots, Bennett said.

A life coach can be an asset to both your professional and personal life. A good life coach is an expert at assisting in creating positive changes. The benefits of a life coach can extend to including fresh perspectives on personal challenges and increased confidence. Other benefits that can be reaped from life counseling include enhanced decision making skills and better interpersonal skills.
A personal life coach can be important in a business setting. A study of Fortune 100 executives conducted by the Manchester Consulting Group states that this type of coaching resulted in a return on investment of almost six times the cost. Improved performance, better management, improved time management, increased team effectiveness were reported by the ICF Global Coaching Client Study.
The investment of time and money into business coaching services or those from a coach will let your personal and business life flourish. You will learn to identify changes that should be make, as well as the best way to embrace transition and change. If you are a business manager, it is almost certain your team will benefit from a life coach or executive coaching programs.
Make a change for the positive by choosing a life coach. You will love the new you!
I have been seeing a life coach for a while, and I have definitely seen a difference.

NewsroomNewsBAE Systems and Marand announce teaming agreement on Land 400
BAE Systems and Marand announce teaming agreement on Land 400
2 Feb 2017 2017-02-02T23:44:14+01:00
BAE Systems Australia and leading Australian defence SME Marand today announced a teaming agreement for LAND 400, building on the companies' long-term partnership on major projects.
Marand will contribute leading cross-sector expertise gained from the automotive, aerospace, rail and defence sectors to the program, providing a range of production engineering solutions. The company has proven experience in welding ballistic steel, advanced machining and complex assembly performed on a daily basis for defence exports, and has been designing, building and launching vehicular production lines for over 30 years.
BAE Systems Australia Chief Executive, Glynn Phillips, said:
"I am delighted that Marand has chosen to work with BAE Systems Australia on Land 400. Today's announcement demonstrates how Australian industry is getting behind our solution for the Australian Army."
Marand Chief Executive Officer, Rohan Stocker, said:
"BAE Systems is a great partner. The Company delivers on its industrial commitments, transferring technology that has allowed Marand to create high skilled jobs and defence exports. We have already proven that we can deliver complex defence production technology transfers in Australia with 100 percent quality and delivery performance."
BAE Systems worked with Marand on its transition from the automotive and aerospace to defence industry through collaboration on the global F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program more than 10 years ago. BAE Systems provides titanium parts to Marand which are used in the manufacture of F-35 vertical tail fins in Australia and are in turn exported to the USA under contract from BAE Systems in the UK.
In July last year, BAE Systems and Land 400 bid partner Patria were confirmed as one of two tenders selected to take part in the 51 week Risk Mitigation Activity for the Australian Army's Land 400 Phase 2 combat reconnaissance vehicle program.
BAE Systems and Patria are offering the combat-proven AMV35 for Land 400 Phase 2. The team is committed to manufacturing the AMV35 locally with an industry solution that will grow local manufacturing knowledge, create jobs and bring further economic benefits to the Australian SME supply chain.

Can you tell me where I can get a manual for a oster model 5814 bread machine?
Is there a manual available that will work for this model 5811?
Please help me with instructions/manuel for my Oster Bread Machine # 5814. I have never used one. I am clue-less.
You can get the manual here. The 5814 is the same as the 5815.
Suddenly my Oster Model #5814 bakes bread that is very small.
Most bread machines have the different loaf types on the top. Pick the bread type (white, whole wheat etc.) Then you have a choice of weight and color of crust. The choices come up on the main screen. You should see the bottons next to or near the screen. Then push start and wait for the beeper to sound and it's done. Hope this helps.
I just bought a pan and paddle from ebay and I do not need the pan. I can see it to you if you like.
Why does the top of the bread not brown? I use the Oster 5838. The loaf is brown 3/4 of the way up, but white on the top.
Have a manual for Oster 5838 ExpressBake Bread Maker?


It's hard to go wrong with a classic oatmeal cookie – especially when you add chopped macadamia nuts and chocolate chips! This recipe calls for replacing some of the sugar you would use in a typical recipe with honey (macadamia nut blossom honey, to be precise!), so there is actually less sugar overall, and some wonderful flavor added from the macadamia nut honey.
In a large bowl, cream butter, honey, and sugar until well blended. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, salt, and oats.
Add the flour mixture to the honey mixture and stir until well mixed. Stir in chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.
Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for about 12 minutes, until golden. Let cool for a minute on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.

Byblos RTW Fall 2019
What global warming? Byblos creative director Manuel Facchini was inspired by the polar ice and the Arctic Circle and sent out a coed collection that would fit that region — and its weather — to a T.
Out came the cocooning parkas with furry hoods — and super furry boots. But the fur was not real, as sustainability was top of mind for Facchini. He used recycled plastic bottles to create eco-friendly pearls that resembled ice crystals, which created iridescent effects on bomber jackets, and he recycled nylon for outerwear with graphic and geometric motifs.
"It's up to us, it's in our hands and we have to make sure we can live here on this earth," said Facchini, who wanted to convey "a message of purity" with his clothes and who succeeded in telegraphing his personal vision with a focused collection — for a customer that is clearly no wallflower.
The Aurora Borealis was a source of colorful prints. Origami-like dresses were juxtaposed with skin-tight ones embellished with 3-D protections influenced by hockey uniforms.
The cold motif was translated into the makeup, as the models sported eyelashes that looked frosted.
Winnie Harlow closed the show with a mesmerizing white gown that looked covered in ice
