A surgical stapling device is disclosed including a cartridge assembly and an anvil assembly. The anvil assembly is translatable relative to the cartridge assembly between a spaced position, where the anvil assembly is spaced from the cartridge assembly, and an approximated position, where the anvil assembly is in close cooperative alignment with the cartridge assembly for clamping tissue disposed therebetween. A lockout sleeve is slidably supported on the cartridge assembly and translatable relative to the cartridge assembly and the anvil assembly between a first position and a second position. The lockout sleeve is configured to engage the anvil assembly and the cartridge assembly when the lockout sleeve is in the second position to inhibit translation of the anvil assembly relative to the cartridge assembly from the spaced position to the approximated position. The present disclosure relates to surgical instrumentation for performing a surgical procedure. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to circular stapling instruments and a lockout for inhibiting clamping of an anvil assembly after firing. Circular staplers are known, as are their use in closed procedures, e.g., endoscopic procedures, laparoscopic procedures, or procedures through natural body orifices. Typically, circular staplers include a cartridge assembly on a distal end of an elongate body and an anvil assembly removably insertable into the cartridge assembly. The anvil assembly is approximated with the cartridge assembly to grasp tissue therebetween. The cartridge assembly includes a mechanism for forming staples against the anvil assembly and a knife for cutting the stapled tissue. Actuation of the anvil assembly and the cartridge assembly may be performed by a manually operated trigger or a powered drive assembly. Generally, both the actuation of the staple forming mechanism and the advancement of the knife occur at the same time, i.e., simultaneously. In an anastomosis procedure, the anvil assembly is first approximated relative to the cartridge assembly to grasp tissue therebetween and the cartridge assembly is then actuated by the trigger or powered drive to form the staples against the anvil assembly and to advance the knife to sever tissue. Typically, the cartridge assembly is only fired once and the anvil assembly is then un-approximated relative to the cartridge assembly. In some instances, however, a surgeon may attempt to re-approximate the anvil assembly relative to the cartridge assembly and fire the circular stapler again even though the staples of the cartridge assembly have already been exhausted. It would be beneficial to have a surgical stapling device which includes a lockout for inhibiting re-approximation of the anvil assembly with the cartridge assembly after the initial firing of the surgical stapling device. Accordingly, a surgical stapling device is provided which includes a lockout mechanism, e.g., a lockout sleeve which is configured to engage the anvil assembly and the cartridge assembly after firing to inhibit re-approximation of the anvil assembly relative to the cartridge assembly. In an aspect of the present disclosure, a surgical stapling device for joining tissue portions is disclosed and includes a handle assembly, an elongate body extending from the handle assembly, a cartridge assembly supported on a distal end of the elongate body and including a staple cartridge containing a plurality of surgical staples in an annular array, and an anvil assembly at a distal end of the surgical stapling device having a shaft for removably coupling the anvil assembly to the cartridge assembly and a head pivotally mounted to a distal end of the shaft. The anvil assembly is translatable relative to the cartridge assembly between a spaced position, where the anvil assembly is spaced from the cartridge assembly, and an approximated position, where the anvil assembly is in close cooperative alignment with the cartridge assembly for clamping tissue disposed therebetween. The surgical stapling device further includes a lockout sleeve slidably supported on the cartridge assembly and translatable relative to the cartridge assembly and the anvil assembly between a first position and a second position. The lockout sleeve is configured to engage the anvil assembly and the cartridge assembly when the lockout sleeve is in the second position to inhibit translation of the anvil assembly relative to the cartridge assembly from the spaced position to the approximated position. In an aspect of the present disclosure, the lockout sleeve includes at least one tab extending therefrom and configured to engage the anvil assembly when the lockout sleeve is in the second position to inhibit proximal translation of the anvil assembly relative to the lockout sleeve. The at least one tab may include a first portion substantially longitudinally aligned with the lockout sleeve and an inwardly biased leg extending from the first portion. The leg is configured to engage a flange of the anvil assembly to inhibit proximal translation of the anvil assembly relative to the lockout sleeve. The at least one tab may alternatively include a first portion substantially longitudinally aligned with the lockout sleeve, a second portion extending from the first portion substantially orthogonal to the first portion, and a leg extending from the second portion. The leg may be inwardly biased relative to the first and second portions. The at least one tab may extend from a distal end of the lockout sleeve. In an aspect of the present disclosure, the cartridge assembly includes an inner cylindrical portion having at least one recess thereon. The at least one tab of the lockout sleeve may be disposed against the at least one recess when the lockout sleeve is in the first position. In an aspect of the present disclosure, the lockout sleeve includes at least one hook extending therefrom and configured to engage the cartridge assembly when the lockout sleeve is in the second position to inhibit proximal translation of the lockout sleeve relative to the cartridge assembly. The at least one hook may be disposed adjacent a side wall of an inner cylindrical portion of the cartridge assembly when the lockout sleeve is in the first position and may be configured to snap over and engage an end of the inner cylindrical portion when the lockout sleeve is in the second position. The at least one hook may include a first portion extending from the lockout sleeve and substantially aligned with the lockout sleeve and an arcuate portion extending from the first portion. The arcuate portion may be configured to snap over and engage the end of the inner cylindrical portion of the cartridge assembly when the lockout sleeve is in the second position. The at least one hook may extend from a distal end of the lockout sleeve. In an aspect of the present disclosure, the lockout sleeve includes a longitudinally extending slot configured for sliding reception of a tab of the cartridge assembly therein. The tab of the cartridge assembly is configured to engage a proximal end of the slot when the lockout sleeve is in the second position to inhibit distal translation of the lockout sleeve relative to the cartridge assembly beyond the second position. In an aspect of the present disclosure, the cartridge assembly includes a drive member operably coupled to the handle assembly. The drive member is configured to engage the lockout sleeve to translate the lockout sleeve from the first position to the second position upon actuation of the handle assembly. In an aspect of the present disclosure, the cartridge assembly includes a knife pusher operably coupled to the handle assembly and configured to distally advance a knife blade to sever tissue disposed radially inward of the staple cartridge upon actuation of the handle assembly. In an aspect of the present disclosure, the cartridge assembly further includes a staple pusher operatively associated with the handle assembly and configured to drive the staples out of the cartridge assembly upon actuation of the handle assembly.

The surgical stapling device further includes an anvil assembly at a distal end of the surgical stapling device. The anvil assembly has a shaft for removably coupling the anvil assembly to the cartridge assembly and a head pivotally mounted to a distal end of the shaft. The anvil assembly is translatable relative to the cartridge assembly between a spaced position, where the anvil assembly is spaced from the cartridge assembly, and an approximated position, where the anvil assembly is in close cooperative alignment with the cartridge assembly for clamping tissue disposed therebetween. The surgical stapling device further includes a lockout sleeve slidably supported on the cartridge assembly and translatable relative to the cartridge assembly and the anvil assembly between a first position and a second position. The lockout sleeve is configured to engage the anvil assembly and the cartridge assembly when the lockout sleeve is in the second position to inhibit translation of the anvil assembly relative to the cartridge assembly from the spaced position to the approximated position. In an aspect of the present disclosure, a method of locking out a surgical stapling device after firing is disclosed including translating an anvil assembly of the surgical stapling device from a spaced position, where the anvil assembly is spaced from a cartridge assembly of the surgical stapling device, to an approximated position, where the anvil assembly in close cooperative alignment with the cartridge assembly to clamp tissue therebetween, translating a staple pusher relative to the cartridge assembly to urge a plurality of fasteners disposed in the cartridge assembly through the tissue towards the anvil assembly, translating a lockout sleeve of the surgical stapling device relative to the cartridge assembly and the anvil assembly from a first position to a second position where a first portion of the lockout sleeve is disposed adjacent a shaft of the anvil assembly and a second portion of the lockout sleeve is engaged with the cartridge assembly to inhibit translation of the lockout sleeve from the second position to the first position, and translating the anvil assembly from the approximated position to the spaced position where the first portion of the lockout sleeve engages the anvil assembly to inhibit translation of the anvil sleeve from the spaced position to the approximated position.

In an aspect of the present disclosure, the method may further include translating a drive member of the cartridge assembly from a first condition to a second condition. The drive member may engage a proximal end of the lockout sleeve to translate the lockout sleeve from the first position to the second position. In an aspect of the present disclosure, the drive member is operably coupled to a knife assembly slidably disposed in the cartridge assembly where translation of the drive member from the first condition to the second condition advances the knife assembly relative to the cartridge assembly to sever tissue disposed radially inward of the tissue clamped between the anvil assembly and the cartridge assembly. Any of the above aspects of the present disclosure described may be combined with any other aspect of the present disclosure without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. FIG. 9 is a perspective view of an alternate embodiment of the lockout sleeve of FIG. 2 including the tab of FIG. 8. Embodiments of the presently disclosed circular stapling instrument including a tilt-able anvil head will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings wherein like numerals designate identical or corresponding elements in each of the several views. As is common in the art, the term “proximal” refers to that part or component closer to the user or operator, i.e. surgeon or physician, while the term “distal” refers to that part or component farther away from the user. Referring initially to FIG. 1, a surgical stapling device, e.g., a circular stapler, is disclosed herein and is generally designated as circular stapler 10. Circular stapler 10 includes a handle assembly 12 and an elongate body 100 coupled to a distal end of handle assembly 12. A cartridge assembly 102 is mounted on a distal end of elongate body 100. Handle assembly 12 includes a fixed handle 14 and a moveable handle or trigger 16. Handle assembly 12 also includes an adjustment knob 18 for moving anvil assembly 140 relative to cartridge assembly 102. The structure and function of handle assembly 12 will only be described herein to the extent necessary to fully disclose the operation of cartridge assembly 102. Examples of instruments for performing circular anastomosis of hollow organs are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,053,390; 5,588,579; 5,119,987; 5,005,749; 4,646,745; 4,576,167; and 4,473,077, each of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. Elongate body 100 may extend from handle assembly 12 or may be removably attached to handle assembly 12 and may be constructed so as to have a curved shape along its length. It is contemplated that elongate body 100 may substantially rigid or may be flexible without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Handle assembly 12 may include a powered actuation mechanism configured to supply linear motion through elongate body 100 to cartridge assembly 102. For example, handle assembly 12 may include an electric motor or other electrical device (not shown) which produces rotational motion upon actuation of trigger 16 and converts the rotational motion into linear motion which is transmitted through elongate body 100 via a drive assembly (not shown) for use by cartridge assembly 102. It is contemplated that the motor or other electrical device may instead produce linear motion directly. Examples of instruments including powered actuation mechanisms for use with surgical stapling devices are described in co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/946,082, filed Nov. 15, 2010, entitled “ADAPTERS FOR USE BETWEEN SURGICAL HANDLE ASSEMBLY AND SURGICAL END EFFECTOR” which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. It is also contemplated that the stapling device may have a replaceable head including the cartridge assembly, anvil member, and associated mechanisms. Such a stapling apparatus can include the manually actuated handle assembly of FIG. 1 and as described above, or can include a powered actuator assembly having first and second drive members. For example, U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12/946,082, noted above, discloses a surgical device having a powered actuator assembly. Such actuator assembly can be powered by a motorized handle. Cartridge assembly 102 defines a longitudinal axis A-A (FIG. 3). In one embodiment, cartridge assembly 102 is removably secured to elongate body 100 such that cartridge assembly 102 may be replaced and the circular stapler 10 may be reused. Alternatively, circular stapler 10 is configured for a single use, i.e., disposable. Circular stapler 10 (FIG. 1) also includes an anvil assembly 140 positioned distally of cartridge assembly 102 and removably insertable into cartridge assembly 102. Anvil assembly 140 is translatable along longitudinal axis A-A (FIG. 3) relative to cartridge assembly 102. With reference now to FIGS. 3-5, anvil assembly 140 includes an anvil head 142 and an anvil shaft 144. Anvil shaft 144 is insertable into an inner bore 116 (FIGS. 6A and 6B) of cartridge assembly 102 and is removably and slidably securable within inner bore 116 of cartridge assembly 102. Shaft 144 is configured to be actuatable by handle assembly 12 (FIG. 1) to translate anvil assembly 140 axially along longitudinal axis A-A relative to cartridge assembly 102 to approximate or un-approximate anvil assembly 140 relative to cartridge assembly 102. For example, adjustment knob 18 (FIG. 1) may be actuated to translate anvil assembly 140 relative to cartridge assembly 102 to adjust the spacing between anvil head 142 and cartridge assembly 102. Anvil head 142 includes a tissue contacting surface 146 defining staple forming pockets 148. Anvil head 142 is coupled to anvil shaft 144 by a pivot assembly 150 and is rotatable about pivot assembly 150 to tilt anvil head 142 from an un-tilted condition (FIG. 3) toward a tilted condition (not shown) for removal of circular stapler 10 from the body after a surgical stapling procedure is complete. In the un-tilted condition (FIG. 3), tissue contacting surface 146 of anvil head 142 is configured to be substantially perpendicular to longitudinal axis A-A. In the tilted condition (not shown) tissue contacting surface 146 of anvil head 142 is approximately aligned with or slightly offset relative to longitudinal axis A-A. For example, in the tilted condition (not shown), one portion of tissue contacting surface 146 may define an acute angle with longitudinal axis A-A while a remaining portion of tissue contacting surface 146 on an opposite side of shaft 144 may define an obtuse angle with longitudinal axis A-A. Pivot assembly 150 includes an anvil base 152 of anvil head 142 and a distal end 154 of shaft 144. Distal end 154 of shaft 144 is inserted into anvil base 152 and rotatably secured therein by a pin 156. Anvil head 142 is spring biased toward the tilted condition by a spring 158 and a plunger 160 disposed in anvil shaft 144. Plunger 160 is configured to engage a proximal surface 162 of anvil head 142 adjacent or proximate to pivot assembly 150 and to urge anvil head 142 toward the tilted condition due to the bias of spring 158. Plunger 160 is also dimensioned to securely engage proximal surface 162 of anvil head 142 when anvil head 142 is in the tilted condition. For example, plunger 160 may include an annular surface 160 a which is configured to engage a corresponding annular surface 162 a of anvil head 142 to secure anvil head 142 in the final tilted condition. With reference now to FIG. 3, anvil shaft 144 includes a spring housing 164 having an inner chamber 166 configured for the reception of spring 158 and at least a portion of plunger 160 therein and an outer surface 168 having a flange 170 and a tapered portion 172 extending from the flange 170 toward a proximal portion 174 of anvil shaft 144. With reference now to FIGS. 3-6B, cartridge assembly 102 includes a drive member 104, a housing 106, a staple cartridge 120, a staple pusher 128, a knife assembly 250, and a lockout sleeve 200. Staple cartridge 120 is operably mounted at a distal end of cartridge assembly 102 and, in one embodiment, staple cartridge 120 is removably secured to cartridge assembly 102 such that staple cartridge 120 may be replaced. With reference now to FIGS. 6A and 6B, housing 106 of cartridge assembly 102 includes an outer cylindrical portion 108, an inner cylindrical portion 110, and a plurality of radially extending supports or ribs 112 extending between inner cylindrical portion 110 and outer cylindrical portion 108. Inner cylindrical portion 110 and outer cylindrical portion 108 of housing 106 are coaxial and define an annular channel 114 therebetween configured to receive staple pusher 128 and knife assembly 250. An inner bore 116 of cartridge assembly 102 extends through inner cylindrical portion 110 and is configured to receive shaft 144 of anvil assembly 140 therein for operable connection to adjustment knob 18 (FIG. 1). With reference now to FIG. 2, lockout sleeve 200 includes a substantially cylindrical housing 202 having a proximal end 204 and a distal end 206 and defining an inner bore 208 therethrough for the reception of inner cylindrical portion 110 (FIG. 6A) of housing 106 (FIG. 6A). A plurality of tabs 210 and a plurality of hooks 212 extend from distal end 206 of housing 202. Each tab 210 includes a longitudinal portion 214 extending distally from housing 202 and a leg 216 extending inwardly from the longitudinal portion 214 toward longitudinal axis A-A. Each leg 216 may be biased inward from longitudinal portion 214 toward the longitudinal axis A-A. Each hook 212 includes a longitudinal portion 218 extending distally from distal end 206 of housing 202 and an arcuate portion 220 extending from the longitudinal portion 218. Arcuate portion 220 curls inward relative to longitudinal portion towards axis A-A such that an end 220 a is oriented in a generally proximal direction. For example, there may be four tabs 210 and four hooks 212 extending from distal end 206 of housing 202. With reference now to FIGS. 2-6A, lockout sleeve 200 also includes a plurality of longitudinally extending slots 222 extending through a distal portion 224 of cylindrical housing 202. Each slot 222 is configured for sliding reception of a tab 110 a of inner cylindrical portion 110 of inner housing 106. Each tab 110 a of inner cylindrical portion 110 and corresponding slot 222 of lockout sleeve 200 allows lockout sleeve 200 to slide relative to housing 106 between a first, proximal position, where an end 216 a of each leg 216 and the end 220 a of each hook 212 is disposed against inner cylindrical portion 110, and a second, distal position, where the end 216 a of each leg 216 and end 220 a of each hook 212 is distal of the inner cylindrical portion 110. For example, each end 216 a of each leg 216 may be disposed in a recess 110 b extending proximally along inner cylindrical portion 110 from distal end 110 c when lockout sleeve 200 is in the first, proximal position. When lockout sleeve 200 is in the second, distal position, with anvil assembly 140 un-approximated, the end 216 a of each leg 216 is inwardly biased into engagement with the tapered portion 172 of anvil shaft 144 to inhibit approximation of anvil assembly 140 relative to cartridge assembly 102 after firing of the surgical stapling device 10. The end 220 a of each hook 212 engages a distal end 110 c of inner cylindrical portion 110 to inhibit proximal advancement of lockout sleeve 200 relative to inner cylindrical portion 110. In this manner, approximation of anvil assembly 140 relative to cartridge assembly 102 after firing of the surgical stapling device 10 is inhibited. Lockout sleeve 200 also includes a plurality of slots 226 extending longitudinally from proximal end 204 of cylindrical housing 202 and configured for sliding reception of supports 112 (FIG. 6B) of housing 106 therethrough. Slots 226 extend through proximal end 204 of cylindrical housing 202 to define openings 226 a for the reception of supports 112 (FIG. 6B). Drive member 104 includes a flange 118 for engagement with a proximal end 228 of lockout sleeve 200 during distal advancement of drive member 104 to urge lockout sleeve 200 distally from the first, proximal position to the second, distal position. With reference now to FIGS. 3-6A, staple cartridge 120 includes at least one annular array of staple receiving slots 122 disposed at a distal end and a staple 124 disposed in each of staple receiving slots 122. For example, staple cartridge 120 may include one, two, or more than two annular arrays or rows of staple receiving slots 122. Staple receiving slots 122 include openings 122 a extending through a tissue contacting surface 126 of the distal end of the staple cartridge 120. Staple cartridge 120 may be fixedly connected to the distal end of cartridge assembly 102 or may be configured to concentrically fit within the distal end of cartridge assembly 102. With reference now to FIG. 6A, staple pusher 128 defines a substantially cylindrical shape and has a proximal portion 130 and a distal portion 132. Staple pusher 128 is coaxially and slidably disposed within channel 114, between outer cylindrical portion 108 and inner cylindrical portion 110. Distal portion 132 of staple pusher 128 defines a plurality of peripherally spaced fingers 134 in two concentric rows for engaging staples 124 within staple receiving slots 122. It is contemplated that one, two or more rows of fingers 134 may be included to correspond to the number of annular arrays of staple receiving slots 122 of staple cartridge 120. Each finger 134 of staple pusher 128 is received within one of the respective staple receiving slots 122 of staple cartridge 120 and is configured to translate through its respective staple receiving slot 122 and opening 122 a during advancement of staple pusher 128 relative to cartridge assembly 102 to engage, drive and eject a respective staple 124 out of the opening 122 a of the respective staple receiving slot 122, through tissue, and against a staple forming pocket 148 of anvil assembly 140 to thereby form staple 124. For example, staples 124 may be formed in a substantially B-shape. With reference to FIGS. 3-6A, drive member 104 is slidably received within channel 114 of cartridge assembly 102 and is axially translatable within cartridge assembly 102 in response to actuation of trigger 16 (FIG. 1) of handle assembly 12 (FIG. 1). Drive member 104 is configured to engage a proximal portion or surface 130 of staple pusher 128 during axial translation, e.g. distal advancement, to advance staple pusher 128 axially through cartridge assembly 102 and staple receiving slots 122. Advancement of staple pusher 128 through staple receiving slots 122 urges staples 124 out of staple receiving slots 122 through openings 122 a. Drive member 104 may alternatively be coupled to staple pusher 128 by, for example, snap fit, friction fit, or other similar methods of coupling. Drive member 104 and staple pusher 128 may alternatively be monolithically formed. In an embodiment, staple pusher 128 remains in a substantially advanced position after firing when drive member 104 is axially translated back, e.g., translated proximally, to an initial pre-fired position. With reference now to FIGS. 3-6A, cartridge assembly 102 includes a knife assembly 250 slidably disposed in channel 114, radially inward of staple cartridge 120 and coaxially disposed about inner cylindrical portion 110 of housing 106. Knife assembly 250 is axially translatable along longitudinal axis A-A to sever a portion of the tissue disposed radially inward of staple cartridge 120 during actuation of circular stapler 10. Knife assembly 250 includes a knife blade 252 substantially in the form of an open cup or cylinder with the distal end thereof defining a knife edge 254. As seen in FIGS. 3-6A, knife assembly 250 includes a knife pusher 256 having a proximal end surface 258 and a distal end surface 259. Knife pusher 256 is operatively coupled to drive member 104 by a tab 104 a of drive member 104 disposed within with a slot 256 a of knife pusher 256 such that distal or proximal advancement of drive member 104 causes distal or proximal advancement of knife pusher 256 along longitudinal axis A-A. Drive member 104 may be coupled to knife pusher 256 by, for example, snap fit, friction fit, or other similar methods of coupling. Drive member 104 and knife pusher 256 may alternatively be monolithically formed. Knife pusher 256 includes a flanged portion 260 extending radially therefrom and defining a lip 262 thereon that is configured for engagement with a proximal end 264 of knife blade 252 during distal advancement of knife pusher 256. Knife pusher 256 may be coupled to knife blade 252 by a snap fit, friction fit, or other similar methods of coupling. Knife blade 252 and knife pusher 256 may alternatively be monolithically formed. The operation of circular stapler 10 will now be described with reference to FIGS. 3-6A and 7. Referring initially to FIG. 3, cartridge assembly 102 is shown in an initial, or pre-fired condition, following approximation of anvil assembly 140 relative to cartridge assembly 102 from the spaced position to the approximated position in close cooperative alignment, with tissue “TU” and “TL” to be anastomosed disposed therebetween. In the initial condition, drive member 104, staple pusher 128, lockout sleeve 200, and knife pusher 256 are disposed in initial proximal positions with the legs 216 of lockout sleeve 200 disposed in the recesses 110 b of inner cylindrical portion 110. Prior to firing, shaft 144 of anvil assembly 140 is inserted through an upper portion of tissue “TU”, staple cartridge 120 is positioned against a lower portion of tissue “TL” and shaft 144 is inserted through lower portion of tissue “TL” into inner bore 116 of cartridge assembly 102. Anvil assembly 140 is then translated towards cartridge assembly 102 from the spaced position to the approximated position through actuation of knob 18 (FIG. 1) of handle assembly 12 (FIG. 1) to grasp or clamp the upper and lower portions of tissue “TU” and “TL” disposed therebetween. For clarity, upper and lower portions of tissue “TU” and “TL” will only be illustrated in the figures where necessary. With reference now to FIGS. 4A-4C, during the firing of circular stapler 10 (FIG. 1), following approximation of anvil assembly 140 against staple cartridge 120, retraction or actuation of trigger 16 (FIG. 1) relative to handle 14 (FIG. 1) causes advancement of a drive assembly (not shown) which operably engages drive member 104 to cause advancement of drive member 104 in the direction indicated by arrows “B”. As drive member 104 advances in the direction indicated by arrows “B”, drive member 104 engages and drives staple pusher 128 in the direction indicated by arrows “B”. As drive member 104 advances, drive member 104 also drives knife pusher 256 in the direction indicated by arrows “B” due to the coupling of tab 104 a of drive member 104 with slot 256 a of knife pusher 256. It is contemplated that the driving assemblies disclosed in the following U.S. patent applications can be used: Ser. No. 13/348,984, filed Jan. 12, 2012; Ser. No. 13/348,958, filed Jan. 12, 2012; and Ser. No. 13/365,372, filed Feb. 3, 2012, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. As staple pusher 128 advances in the direction indicated by arrows “B”, fingers 134 of staple pusher 128 advance through staple receiving slots 122 to drive or eject staples 124 out of staple receiving slots 122 through openings 122 a, through tissue portions “TU” and “TL” grasped between anvil assembly 140 and staple cartridge 120, and against staple forming pockets 148 of anvil assembly 140 to thereby form staples 124. Staples 124 secure upper and lower tissue portions “TU” and “TL” together. As knife pusher 256 advances in the direction indicated by arrows “B”, knife blade 252 is also advanced distally due to lip 262 of flanged portion 260 engaging knife blade 252. As knife blade 252 is advanced distally, knife edge 254 engages and severs the portion of upper and lower tissue portions “TU” and “TL” (FIGS. 4A-4C) disposed radially inward of staple cartridge 120, thereby forming an anastomosis donut “D” (FIG. 5). The anastomosis donut “D” may be positioned coaxially about lockout sleeve 200 of anvil assembly 140. It is contemplated that the knife blade may be advanced with the staple pusher, or may be advanced in a separate stroke or actuation. With reference again to FIGS. 4A-6A, as drive member 104 advances in the direction indicated by arrows “B”, flange 118 of drive member 104 engages a proximal end 228 of lockout sleeve 200 and drives lockout sleeve 200 in the direction indicated by arrows “B” toward the second, distal, position. As lockout sleeve 200 is driven in the direction “B”, the tabs 210 and hooks 212 of lockout sleeve 200 are driven distally of inner cylindrical portion 110 to release the legs 216 of lockout sleeve 200 from the recesses 110 b. Once released, the legs 216 of lockout sleeve 200 are positioned against anvil shaft 144, e.g., against pivot assembly 150 or spring housing 164, and hooks 212 of lockout sleeve 200 snap over and engage distal end 110 c of inner cylindrical portion 110 to inhibit proximal advancement of lockout sleeve 200 relative to inner cylindrical portion 110. Further distal advancement of lockout sleeve 200 is inhibited by tabs 110 a of inner cylindrical portion 110 engaging the proximal ends 222 a of slots 222. Lockout sleeve 200 is now locked in the second, distal position. With reference now to FIGS. 4B and 4C, once lockout sleeve 200 is locked in the second, distal position, drive member 104 is retracted. As drive member 104 retracts, knife pusher 256 is also retracted proximally to the initial position due to the coupling of tab 104 a of drive member 104 with the slot 256 a of knife pusher 256. Staple pusher 128 remains at least partially in the advanced position. With reference now to FIGS. 5 and 7, once drive member 104 is retracted, knob 18 (FIG. 1) is actuated to un-approximate anvil assembly 140 relative to cartridge assembly 102. As anvil assembly 140 un-approximates relative to cartridge assembly 102, anvil shaft 144 slides distally relative to the legs 216 of lockout sleeve 200 such that the ends 216 a of legs 216 slide along outer surface 168 of spring housing 164 and move inward to engage tapered portion 172 of flange 170 proximal of spring housing 164 due to the inward bias. Once legs 216 are engaged with the tapered portion 172 of spring housing 164, proximal movement of anvil assembly, and approximation of anvil assembly 140 relative to cartridge assembly 102, is inhibited by lockout sleeve 200. In this manner, the anvil assembly 140 is locked out after firing of the surgical stapling device 10 to inhibit further firing of circular stapler 10. In another embodiment, referring now to FIGS. 8 and 9, a lockout sleeve 300 is disclosed that is similar to lockout sleeve 200 (FIG. 2). For brevity, only the differences between lockout sleeve 300 and lockout sleeve 200 (FIG. 2) will be discussed. Lockout sleeve 300 includes a plurality of tabs 310 extending from a distal end 306 of cylindrical housing 302. Each tab 310 includes a longitudinal portion 314 extending distally from the distal end 306 of cylindrical housing 302, a second portion 315 extending from longitudinal portion 314 substantially orthogonal to longitudinal portion 314 and longitudinal axis A-A, and a leg 316 extending distally from second portion 315 at an angle toward the longitudinal axis A-A. As with leg 216 (FIG. 2) above, leg 316 is biased inwards from longitudinal portion 314 and second portion 315 towards longitudinal axis A-A. Second portion 315 provides an additional inward biasing force on leg 316, as compared to the inward biasing force on leg 216 (FIG. 2) of lockout sleeve 200 (FIG. 2), when leg 316 is pressed outward by engagement with the inner cylindrical portion 110 (FIGS. 3-6A) of cartridge assembly 102 (FIGS. 3-6A) or the shaft 144 (FIGS. 3-6A) of anvil assembly 140 (FIGS. 3-6A). Lockout sleeve 300 otherwise functions in the manner describe above with regard to lockout sleeve 200 (FIG. 2). It is contemplated that individual features of the above described embodiments may be combined without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. In addition, any of the above embodiments may alternatively include a powered actuation system as described above. Although the illustrative embodiments of the present disclosure have been described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings, the above description, disclosure, and figures should not be construed as limiting, but merely as exemplifications of particular embodiments. It is to be understood, therefore, that the disclosure is not limited to the precise embodiments described herein, and that various other changes and modifications may be effected by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope or spirit of the present disclosure. a lockout sleeve slidably supported on the cartridge assembly and translatable relative to the cartridge assembly and the anvil assembly between a first position and a second position, the lockout sleeve configured to engage the anvil assembly and the cartridge assembly when the lockout sleeve is in the second position to inhibit translation of the anvil assembly relative to the cartridge assembly from the spaced position to the approximated position. 2.

Hi everyone, we will be submitting a patch in the near future that adds Windows/ARM32 support to GO. All but a few tests are passing, and this implementation has been used to compile GO itself and run Docker containers on Windows/ARM32. We look forward to working with the community to iron out the last remaining issues and get this merged! I'm curious why was the port developed out-of-tree? I'm asking because I'm afraid it's much more complicated to properly review such a big change, as an port to new architecture is, in a single CL. In any case, please check https://github.com/golang/go/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md and the linked from there https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html for more details. @cznic We were under a tight deadline and did not know if it was feasible. This is the earliest I could engage the community. We can break down the change into smaller chunks if necessary. @alexbrainman Thanks for the link. We are committed to meeting the requirements outlined in the doc. We are committed to meeting the requirements outlined in the doc. Enable 'go tool objdump' to disassemble windows/arm images. Enable the Go linker to generate executables for windows/arm. permitted to have fixed base addresses. @hyangah FYI, the test is passing after fixing the time functions. the system performance counter, so has much higher resolution. On ARM, use QueryPerformanceCounter() to get a high resolution timestamp. Change https://golang.org/cl/154761 mentions this issue: Revert "runtime: use QPC for nanotime and time.now on windows/arm" Revert "runtime: use QPC for nanotime and time.now on windows/arm" The failing test is TestCallbackPanic(). I'm suspecting stack corruption. I also want to modify cputicks() to call onosstack(_QueryPerformanceCounter, ...), and I want to modify onosstack() to not modify any global data. These routines are called deep in the scheduler and I am concerned they could be corrupting state. Here is the issue with TestCallbackPanic(). // nestedCall calls into Windows, back into Go, and finally to f. // unwind of g's stack (see comment at top of file). It restores the g0 stack pointer from the value saved on the stack by cgocallback. cgocallback saves m->g0->sched.sp to the stack, which was previously written by cgocall when EnumWindows was called. // Now there's a valid m, and we're running on its m->g0. // Save current m->g0->sched.sp on stack and then set it to SP. // switch back to m->curg stack. // NOTE: unwindm knows that the saved g->sched.sp is at 4(R13) aka savedsp-8(SP). So, the fact that we see FreeLibrary execute with the same stack pointer as EnumWindows seems to be by design. EnumWindows was not allowed to complete since a panic occurred while it was calling back into Go code, and it's stack was deallocated. This shouldn't be an issue, since it is generally an error to maintain references to stack local memory that outlive the stack frame. When the user32 module is unloaded, its garbage collector runs and scans for outstanding resources, which include outgoing calls that have not been completed, and their associated resources. Since the SEH handler never ran (because an explicit call to panic() does not trigger SEH handlers), the global tracking database still has a reference to the bookkeeping information that was stored on the stack. However, this stack space was deallocated, and new code is running over it, which corrupts the data. The bookkeeping code faults when it loads a bad pointer from the stack. As you can see, this error occurs due to very specific interaction between Go's deferral mechanism, Go's callback mechanism, and user32's resource tracking mechanism. In order for C code to be go-panic-safe, it should not allocate any resources, and should not maintain any references to stack memory. In terms of fixes, I'm not sure there's a way to ensure that C code which relies on SEH or C++ exceptions has a chance to clean up in case of a go panic. It seems best to recover() in the callback, and not panic across callback boundaries. Another option is to find a replacement for EnumWindows that is safe to panic across and use that for the test instead. @alexbrainman @ianlancetaylor , what do you think? Any idea why the test passes on x86? What's the key difference? I think it has to do with how subsequent code overwrites the stack. If the data structure on the stack doesn't get overwritten, the error will not manifest. amd64 and x86 have the same underlying issue, but they must not corrupt the bookkeeping datastructure. I'm not sure there's a way to ensure that C code which relies on SEH or C++ exceptions has a chance to clean up in case of a go panic. I agree. This is not implemented, and it won't be simple to implement. It seems best to recover() in the callback, and not panic across callback boundaries. I agree in general, but I don't think it is acceptable for our runtime tests. I think Go users write code that panics from callback and into call site function. We should try and make it work, if possible. That sounds good. I don't remember who came up with EnumWindows to test it all, but anything else should be fine too. As long as it works and easily available on any Windows computer that is supported by Go. @ianlancetaylor One of the reasons it doesn't readily manifest on amd64/386 is that amd64/386 tests run on Windows Desktop, which has a different implementation of user32 than IoT Core, which is where the ARM tests run. Iot Core uses 'minuser', which is a completely rewritten window manager. I was able to reproduce the exact crash on AMD64 by running the test on IoT Core. In the deferral, I called a function that used a large chunk of g0 stack (in a legal way), to ensure that any stack based data structures still referenced would be overwritten with garbage data. Later, when the user32 garbage collector crashed, it crashed in exactly the same place as ARM, because the stack-based bookkeeping structure had been overwritten in the deferral. On ARM, to further confirm that stack corruption was the issue, I inserted code in callbackasm1 to save the current g0 SP so that when unwindm restores the g0 SP, it will restore it to a value that is safely below the stack for EnumWindows. With this change, the crash went away because EnumWindow's stack was no longer being overwritten in the deferral. The test ran many times successfully. Given these findings I have increased confidence that this is the issue. unwinding mechanism. See the associated issue for more information. @jordanrh1 Is there an issue for porting to Windows/ARM64 too? Thanks. It seems exes built with GOOS=windows GOARCH=arm with the current master won't run on Windows RT 8.1, failing with "This app can't run on your PC". This is with code signature checking subverted. I haven't looked into it yet so I'm unsure of details and I know this platform is out of support, but is this a configuration that theoretically should be working? By the way, fantastic work. You also need to specify GOARM=7. I'll look into whether there's a way to do this by default. Unfortunately it's still failing with the same error. I made sure to clear the Go build cache and delete the output .exe, so I'm fairly sure it is getting rebuilt properly. I've put my test file / command below. Then try running the program. Loader spew will be printed to the windbg window. I definitely have time to do some tests and try to fix this, but likewise, don't worry about this platform too much if nobody considers it important! Unfortunately it appears security restrictions in Windows RT prevent the debugger from creating or attaching to processes. If you know of any other way to get log messages out of the linker / loader I'll happily try that, otherwise I'll reply later if I end up getting the debugger working somehow. @jordanrh1 I managed to run windows-arm on one of my RPIs. The only bits I am still missing is git command. What do you do for git on windows-arm? @bradfitz is there a git command that is written in pure Go? I would just compile it to windows-arm and use it there. I would not need anything fancy, just basic git functionality. @alexbrainman, the builders don't use git. They only run the x/build/cmd/buildlet binary and the cmd/coordinator pushes code in tarballs at them. @alexbrainman, the builders don't use git. Fair enough. I suppose I have to find a way to develop on this thing. I do all my development on linux and cross compile to windows/arm. But I was trying to fix #30711. And that involved running cmd/go.TestScript, and cmd/go.TestScript runs go.exe executable. So I needed all moving parts. I used $GOROOT/src/bootstrap.bash (luckily for me it worked without a hitch) to create a snapshot of current Go tree with executables and built packages, and copied all these files onto RPI. And then run the test. I did not have Git, so I had to be careful when changing files to fix #30711. The fix was small enough for me to manage without Git. But I would not use that setup for anything bigger than that. RPI runs standard Windows file and printer sharing services, and I was able to mount shares from RPI on my Windows PC. Maybe (I did not try that) I could just use Git on my Windows PC to manage Go repo installed on RPI. I will see next time I use that. Another thing. While debugging, I searched for windows-arm prebuilt image on https://golang.org/dl and it is not there. @bradfitz maybe we should put latest windows-arm image at https://golang.org/dl. I doubt there is need for ,msi file, but we should put .zip file alongside with 386 and amd64. Also @jordanrh1 I struggled to make Windows 10 running on some of my RPIs. I have RPI 3 B+. I downloaded "IoT Dashboard", and it gives me option of installing "Windows 10 IoT Core (17763)". I created SD card (ScanDisk Ultra 16GB), but RPI does not boot - red power light comes on, and I get rainbow image on my HDMI screen, but nothing happens. I also have RPI 2 B. I tried booting this with the same image - red light is on, green light flashes 4 slow times followed by 4 quick times, same rainbow image on the screen. I managed to run Windows on RPI 3 B. But I would like to make my other RPIs run Windows. Do you have any suggestions? Also I noticed that windows-arm builder is not listed on https://build.golang.org Can you, please, investigate what happened to it? I also wonder, if we could run windows-arm build on multiple RPI devices to make it faster?

According to PRX's site, its mission "is to build a fair market for creative audio content and an online community of increasing gains; to create more opportunities for diverse programming of exceptional quality, interest, and importance to reach more listeners." The company enables terrestrial radio stations to audition pieces and download broadcast-quality audio to share with their listeners over the air or online. PRX catalogs thousands of pieces and allows users to search by topic, length, format, tone and time of the year. The site also provides a community space open to public radio listeners, producers and stations, where users can discover, rate and review pieces. In addition to providing feedback, the rating system brings work to the attention of stations, who are able to sort pieces by their rating. When a piece is licensed by a station PRX provides the producer with a royalty. PRX provides stations and producers with tools to manage and monitor transactions, rights, usage statistics and payments within their individual and group accounts. A Peabody Award for Reveal: The VA’s Opiate Overload. The PRX site and services launched in September 2003 after a two-year planning, research, and development phase supported by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Ford Foundation. Since then PRX has received additional support from the NTIA Technology Opportunities Program, the MacArthur Foundation, the Open Society Institute, the Surdna Foundation, and Google Grants. PRX offices are located in Cambridge, MA. On February 28, 2007 PRX and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced the Public Radio Talent Quest. This competition is an open search for new public radio talent, and gives producers the chance to produce a pilot show for public radio. Finalists will be chosen after a five-round competition voted on by fans, public radio professionals and celebrity judges. On May 14, the first round of submissions ended with 1,452 entries. As of May 22, 2007, the Public Radio Talent Quest site had over 14,600 registered users. On April 9, 2008 The MacArthur Foundation selected PRX as one of its 2008 recipients of the MacArthur Award for Creative and Effective Institutions. In late November of that year, PRX soft launched PRX 3.0. The launch included their Remix Radio project which provides a sampling of the content available for licensing on the site. On January 1, 2009, PRX, Inc became a Massachusetts 501c3 nonprofit corporation. Previously PRX had been a project area of the Station Resource Group, a Maryland nonprofit. On January 28, PRX Remix was added to XM Satellite Radio on channel 136. Later that year, on July 19, PRX launched the Public Radio Player 2.0, an iPhone app for public radio developed by PRX, NPR and other public radio partners, and funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. On August 11, PRX was included in CPB's agreement with SoundExchange through 2015 as a covered public radio entity for music webcasting royalties. In 2010 PRX launched two iPhone apps: the This American Life app on February 1 and the WBUR Boston app on July 7. That same year, PRX won a Peabody Award for The Moth Radio Hour Also, PRX was announced as a winner of the 2010 Knight News Challenge for Story Exchange, a crowdfunding journalism project, on June 16. On September 8, 2010 PRX announced $2.7M in new funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the MacArthur Foundation, and the Ford Foundation. On December 8, 2011, PRX announced $2.5M in funding from Knight Foundation to create the Public Media Accelerator. In May 2014, PRX received a Peabody Award for the Reveal show "The VA's Opiate Overload". Formerly known as Public Radio Remix. As of 2011, two radio stations, KPBZ in Spokane, Washington and WREM in Canton, New York, air a full-time schedule of programming from PRX, branded as Public Radio Remix. Both stations are owned by the same organizations as their markets' primary National Public Radio affiliates. PRX Remix also airs on Sirius XM Channel 123. Several other public radio stations air some, but not all, Public Radio Exchange programming in their schedules. ^ "Introduction to the Public Radio Exchange". PRX - Public Radio Exchange.

Although Guys and Dolls eventually became the fifth longest-running Broadway musical of the Fifties, it was a long and difficult road getting it to the stage at all. Producers Cy Feuer and Ernest Martin originally envisioned the musical as a serious romantic story along the lines of South Pacific. After hiring composer and lyricist Frank Loesser, they eventually went through 11 librettists before finally deciding to make the project a comedy and settling on Abe Burrows, a radio and television writer with no theatrical experience. Based on Damon Runyon’s short story “The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown,” Guys and Dolls revolves around Nathan Detroit, the organizer of the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York, who bets fellow gambler Sky Masterson that he can’t make the next girl he sees fall in love with him. The next girl he sees happens to be Miss Sarah Brown, a pure-at-heart Salvation Army-type reformer, and the stage is set for an hilarious evening of complications. Guys and Dolls opened at the 46th Street Theatre on November 24, 1950 and enjoyed a run of 1,200 performances. The original cast included Robert Alda, Vivian Blaine, Sam Levene and Isabel Bigley. The 1955 film version featured Marlon Brando, Vivian Blaine, Frank Sinatra and Jean Simmons. In 1976, a Broadway revival was staged with an all-black cast.

Titus Andronicus are an American punk and indie-rock outfit hailing from Glen Rock, New Jersey. Forming in 2005, the band is composed of frontman Patrick Stickles, bassist Julian Veronesi, guitarist Liam Betson, and drummer Eric Harm. Their debut album ‘The Airing of Grievances’ hit shelves in 2008, and was followed up with ‘The Monitor’ in 2010 - a record that was featured in Pitchfork Media’s albums of the year. Their third record, ‘Local Business’, hit shelves in October 2012. The New Jersey natives' new LP, and Merge Records debut, 'The Most Lamentable Tragedy', is due in August 2015, and is "a rock opera in five acts". The band embarked on 'The Most Lamentable Tragedy' world tour in September, starting with dates across America and coming to the UK in November, for the first time since 2013.

WOW!! I guess we’re getting some Indian summer and I like it. The weekend was pretty nice after a few days of cool weather. Supposed to get back up to the high 60’s, low 70’s for the week. I can handle it. We did have some pretty good frost a couple of days. Don’t really like what’s coming later on; hopefully not as bad as “they” are predicting. Membership dues for 2017 are now being taken; see Molly Johnson to pay yours or to become a member. Just costs a buck; can’t beat that. Did you mark your calendar for the dates in November that the New Albany Volunteer Fire Company is presenting their play? If not, you will miss out on a great time. See the ad in last week’s Sully too. Should be fun and it’s a nice fund raiser for the Fire Company. We visited Bob, Jr. and Tyler McGuire, Hunlock Creek on Saturday. Had a nice time. We then went to Forty Fort to visit Bob’s sister, Lola and Mike Mattie. She puts up an awesome Halloween display every year and this year was better than ever.

Research is the answer: The question is up to you. Improving access to clinical trials and the importance of supporting everyone affected by a brain tumour diagnosis were just some of the areas discussed at our second Ask the Researcher event on 26 February 2019, hosted by our Chair of Trustees, Jack Morris. The evening brought together members of our community, including those personally affected, students, medical professionals and researchers. And gave them the chance to hear about latest developments in the field, as well as put their questions to some of the world's leading researchers in the fight against brain tumours. All of the researchers that joined us on the night are part of our Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) and provide their guidance and expertise to ensure we only fund the very best research out there. The talks were opened by Professor Richard Gilbertson, Director of the Cambridge Cancer Centre at Cambridge University, who provided an update on the progress made with the Tessa Jowell Brain Cancer Mission. Following him was, Professor Colin Watts, Professor of Neurosurgery at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, who talked about the newly announced adaptive platform trial for glioma patients, The Tessa Jowell BRAIN-MATRIX. And the final speaker was Dr Susan Chang, Director of Neuro-Oncology at University of California, San Francisco, who shared ways in which quality of life issues faced by patients and their families can be monitored during clinical trials. Professor Richard Gilbertson is one of the world's leading experts in childhood brain tumours. He's been working in paediatric oncology as both a clinician and a researcher for almost 25 years. Director of the Cambridge Cancer Centre at Cambridge University, Professor Gilbertson is now also Chair of the Tessa Jowell Brain Cancer Mission and will be speaking about the progress that's been made so far and goals moving forward. Dr Susan Chang is Director of Neuro-Oncology at University of California, San Francisco. Her research expertise are in the design of clinical trials, and development of novel therapies and imaging biomarkers for brain tumours. Dr Chang also has a strong interest in quality of life issues faced by patients with brain tumours and their families, and will be talking about ways this can be better monitored during clinical trials. Professor Colin Watts is Professor of Neurosurgery at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. He's also Chair of the University of Birmingham's newly established Brain Cancer Program. Professor Watts' research focuses on improving the treatment and survival of patients with gliomas, including glioblastoma. Professor Watts is now the lead researcher on the Tessa Jowell BRAIN MATRIX trial and will tell you all about this new, innovative trial. The evening concluded with a Q&A session between the audience and researchers, which generated a great deal of conversation, and included topics such as; the ketogenic diet and how allied healthcare professionals can worker closer with clinicians. All of the questions unanswered on the night and following the event have been put to and answered by our research team, Scientific Advisory Board and our information and support team. It’s wonderful that The Brain Tumour Charity has been able to host an evening like this, where you have the interaction with the scientists and get to learn about all the efforts happening on a national level to raise awareness of research into brain tumours and care of patients with brain tumours.

The first conversion was for a customer who owned a 2003 24’ Seasport Explorer; the 5.7 sterndrive was removed and a Yamaha 300 was installed with a Command Link + LCD . This second conversion was done almost simultaneously with our charter boat, also a 1996 Osprey. This boat is the long cabin version and the extra deck space will be valued when the fishing rigs come out. Again, the conversion is narrated with captions above the pictures. The owner chose a Yamaha 250 for his repower. This is the conversion of our sister company’s (Jammin’ Ocean Adventures) charter vessel, “Alaskan Voyager.” We experienced the same issue – an inboard/sterndrive that was north of 1700 engine hours, and at a point where a decision had to be made. Either rebuild the current one, which was determined by a mechanic to not be worth it, go with the same set-up but a new engine/stern drive, or make the conversion to an outboard, gaining a flush deck for additional fishing space. We chose the outboard conversion. What follows are pictures of the conversion, the installation of the Yamaha 300, and some on-the-water pictures during its first sea trial. We have found it to perform well, averaging 13-15 GPH overall. We mounted a 15.5 x 17 stainless prop. Following all of this work, we had the boat resurveyed in its entirety. We are pleased with the entire conversion and over the last two years, have found it to have been very worthwhile. The fuel economy is superior to the inboard/sterndrive, the increased deck area for fishing, and the ease of engine maintenance has left us with no regrets. The owner of this Osprey asked Ashbreez to do all but the engine installation on this conversion. He had already contracted with a dealer to provide the Mercury engine and engine installation. The owner of this 32' Sportfisher brought it to us for the installation of a second helm station, which involved the design and fabrication of the console, new hydraulics and tie-ins with the existing system, and outside stereo speakers. He also had a transom extension added, as well as new v-berth overhead panels,main cabin overhead and side panels, and new lighting.

Posted on Friday, August 1st, 2014 at 15.00. Farnborough will make the trip to Isthmian League Division One South side Walton & Hersham this Saturday to play their penultimate pre-season friendly of the summer. Farnborough have now recorded four wins from six and go into their seventh pre-season friendly of the summer with plenty of confidence. With 9 days left until the big kick off at Boreham Wood, Farnborough will want to keep their winning habit while forward Joe Taylor remains leading pre-season goalscorer with four goals in six games so will be keen to add to his tally. Manager Spencer Day bolstered his squad with three new additions this week, with goalkeeper Charlie Grainger being loaned in from Leyton Orient, pacey winger Josh Webb signing on and adding tricky midfielder Matt Ball who is also now a Farnborough player. Two goals in as many first-half minutes from Matt Ball and impressive new striker Joe Taylor – his third in two games – sealed victory for Boro at Tonbridge Angels’ Longmead Stadium last time out, leaving Day with plenty to be encouraged about ahead of Saturday’s trip to Walton & Hersham and the big visit of League One side Leyton Orient on Monday night. “Yes, there is still room for improvement but the lads have made a huge step up this week when people were beginning to question them. Tomorrow’s hosts Walton & Hersham finished last season in 21st position in the Isthmian League Division One South and are currently managed by Chuck Martini. The current Swans side includes former Farnborough Academy players Jack Battie, Tarome Hemmings and Swans pre-season top scorer Andrew Mensah. Last time out on Tuesday, Walton & Hersham beat UK Football Finder Football Club Ellie Development Squad 3-0 in a pre-seson friendly, with goals coming from Sacha Mbaye and former Boro duo Andrew Mensah and Tarome Hemmings. Venue: Walton & Hersham FC, Sports Ground, Stompond Lane, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, KT12 1HF. Directions to Stompond Lane can also be viewed on the Walton & Hersham website here. Kick off at Stompond Lane is at 3pm. Admission for the game will be pay at the gate – unfortunately the Club have not recieved admission prices for the fixture. Suitable admission prices for the friendly will be displayed at the turnstiles at Stompond Lane.

I’m not especially enjoying my current 31 day challenge. I find it very difficult to find the motivation to share these things that I love. It doesn’t seem, fair to them. Last year, I really enjoyed the challenge. I met some wonderful new people. I learned about me. It was lovely. This year… it feels commercialized. I’m Determined to finish, I think I’ll just adjust the posts. Next month is NaNoWriMo. I used to love to go to Second Life and join up with the virtual community of authors there. I went to their seminars, heard authors speak, and read their books. I had a little writing studio for the month. It was as fun as anything virtual can be. My SL days are behind me, but I’m considering NaNo this year. I am an awful fiction writer, but I have thousands of words to organize for a non fiction book. I wonder if that is something I can do next month.

For the most lucrative esports tournament on the planet, $6 million clearly wasn’t enough. Valve’s Dota 2 championship, The International 4, has set new stretch goals after blowing past the $6 million dollar milestone earlier today. The final goal is now $10 million. The International’s prize pool is funded by sales of the Compendium, an interactive tournament guide that offers many features and perks to the event’s spectators. Valve has set stretch goals for reaching prize pool milestones, similar to a Kickstarter, and each $10 sale of the Compendium adds $2.50 to the The International prize pool. Hitting $6 million unlocked what was thought to be the final goal, a base customization item for Compendium owners. Now, a whole new set of rewards promises to push the prize purse ever higher. The rewards range from major game systems to cosmetic perks and even a concert with Dota’s most popular electronic artist. At $7.2 million, for example, Compendium owners will get to vote on a champion to receive an alternate voice. All Dota players will receive new, upgraded creep models after their team knocks off an enemy barracks at $9.2 million. $400,00 on top of that will add a new quest system to the game. The $8.8 million milestone unlocks the most Dota thing ever—a live broadcast of the The International afterparty featuring Finnish trance DJ Darude, of Sandstorm fame. And the final reward allows you to taunt your opponents with victory chant at the beginning of each match, then records how many times you make good on the promises. The tournament is set for July 18-21 in Seattle, so there’s still two months for fans to throw their money Valve’s way. Considering how fast the pool has grown since the Compendium’s release twelve days ago—$4.4 million over the $1.6 million contributed by Valve—the $10 million stretch goal seems quite realistic. At the rate of growth sustained so far, it’ll be just eleven days before Valve announces new rewards for a $20 million purse. The International already holds the record for prize money at an esports event, and the $6 million pool already ranks it ahead of some of the world’s richest sporting competitions. The $10 million mark would push Dota past golf’s prestigious The Masters and its $9 million in prizes. Largely unmentioned in all the hype surrounding the prize purses is Valve’s own take. With only 25 percent of every $10 Compendium sale going to the prize pool, Valve is raking in the cash, making the development costs associated with each stretch reward seem cheap by comparison. With $4.4 million added to the prize pool so far, Compendium sales total around $17.6 million. That’s $13.2 million headed Valve’s way, before subtracting their $1.6 million prize pool contribution. To push the prize pool to the $10 million stretch goal, it’ll take $33.6 million in Compendium sales. That’s a large wad of cash for Valve, $25.2 million. Not bad for a free-to-play game. Of course, that’s still a far cry from the $957 million free-to-play shooter CrossFire, a Counter-Strike clone popular in Asia, pulled in last year, or the $624 million earned by League of Legends. Last year, Valve’s own Team Fortress 2 topped Dota’s revenue with $139 million. But that’s most likely going to change in 2014. And maybe sooner than we think. When someone—Na’Vi? Alliance?—take home whatever gargantuan prize awaits them, we’ll all know who the real winners are: Valve, and Dota’s esports fans.

Community solar - a concept that allows homeowners, renters and businesses to participate in solar power without having to install solar equipment on their property - has rapidly gained traction as new shared solar generation programs have been adopted across the country. Meanwhile, community solar program rules have been revisited in light of unprecedented interest in a Midwest solar laboratory: Minnesota. Moving beyond the limitations of physically hosting solar panels on one’s property more than quadruples the potential solar market and has many related benefits. It also provides a platform for larger projects that serve multiple people and businesses, thereby taking advantage of economies of scale and enabling lower associated costs. The siting of generating equipment can be more carefully planned or even target low-value land that has little other use, such as closed landfills or brownfields. A project can also be tailored to meet local load without burdening the electricity transmission system. If the new programs and proofs of concept continue apace, community solar has an opportunity to help chart the way forward, even as tax benefits for solar are reduced. Although many community solar projects have emerged as a result of voluntary arrangements with local utilities, a dozen or more states have now adopted state policies designed to foster community solar programs and ratepayer participation. California and other leading solar states have encouraged this through virtual net-metering programs that enable residents of multifamily building complexes to share in the benefits of a solar installation. California’s vast solar portfolio, however, remains dominated by utility-scale projects and the substantial penetration of traditional on-site distributed solar. In the East, by contrast, Massachusetts’ significant solar deployment has largely been built as mid-scale, virtually net-metered projects. Massachusetts allows the allocation of net-metering credits to other customers, thereby facilitating sharing broadly under its net-metering program. Colorado has paved the way in the middle of the country for the community solar market in 2010 through its introduction of a bill-credit model that allows utility customers to receive credits on their electric bills in exchange for participation in a solar garden. More recently, Minnesota has built on the Colorado community solar garden model. Earlier this year, Maryland and Connecticut in the East and Hawaii in the West have established new community or shared renewables programs by statute. The current trend in community and shared solar is facilitating solar development in the 2 MW to 10 MW range. Many state programs, however, face caps in the form of an aggregate megawatt cutoff, while others are limited by net-metering caps generally set at a percentage of a utility’s peak load. In Massachusetts, for example, the cap is set at 6%. The cap has nearly been reached and is far short of the state’s separate 1,600 MW target for solar, leaving policymakers trying to obtain a legislative fix. Vermont’s program, as another example, is similarly restricted by net-metering caps but at a substantially higher 15% threshold. In Minnesota, the state required utility Xcel Energy to launch a community solar garden program and also required that the program remain unlimited. The program is open to all retail customers of the utility, who may subscribe up to 120% of their load to any number of 1 MW community solar gardens. Because the statute was silent on whether multiple 1 MW gardens could be located near one another, the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has allowed it so that multiple gardens can share distribution infrastructure. When the program launched in December of last year, developers rapidly submitted over 400 MW worth of applications. About 95% of those were applications for co-located projects, with roughly 80% proposing to co-locate five or more 1 MW solar gardens. Even though the program was uncapped, the co-location ruling has imposed very real functional limitations on the program in the form of land availability in the largely urban and suburban utility-service territory, as well as constraints on Xcel’s distribution system. An engineering firm has estimated that the aggregate buildable capacity on Xcel substations affected by these initial projects ranges from 77 MW to 270 MW. Without a detailed plan of Xcel’s distribution system, it appears developers have over-applied for capacity in the expectation that they might downsize their projects to fit the appropriate local load and capacity, as revealed through the interconnection study process. Even without an upper program limit set by statute - as is the case in many states - this functional barrier was widely anticipated. A developer’s relative place in line for limited distribution capacity became vital to its projects’ likelihood of success. Queueing in Minnesota, however, does not come easily. The state PUC was first forced to address this issue hardly more than a month into the program, when the interplay between the program and related interconnection procedures appeared to be creating the potential for two separate queues, with some developers jumping in one or both as early as they thought possible. Realizing there was stiff competition for places in line, the PUC clarified that the first applicant ready under Xcel’s community solar garden program would be the first to proceed. In this case, being ready required a relatively simple application to the program but a large cash deposit ($100/kW) and a final determination from the utility within 30 days that the application was, in fact, complete. Approximately five months later, the majority of initial applications with fully paid deposits were deemed complete and had their places in line reserved. By this time, however, there were two additional complications. First, Xcel announced its intentions to unilaterally scale back projects located near each other to 1 MW total, asserting the program had run afoul of legislative intent and would be too costly to non-participating ratepayers. Second, the application pool grew to over 1 GW worth of potential projects, further fueling competition for limited distribution system capacity and ratepayer concerns. The PUC intervened with hearings at the end of June to resolve the dispute. This time, the commission reshuffled the queue by retroactively revising the program rules to limit co-located projects to five 1 MW community solar gardens, impacting half or more of the first-ready projects. Additionally, the PUC added new readiness demonstrations (e.g., site control, permit completeness and subscribership thresholds) and further constrained interconnection by putting a cap on the amount of money a developer could spend to fund the system upgrades. The turmoil in Minnesota suggests that there is a lot of work to do in developing sustainable rules for large-scale deployment of community solar. However, the overwhelming interest in the program from both developers and subscribers - and the proliferation of community solar programs across the country - serves as proof of the concept. In Minnesota, parties are committed to refining what the right mix of rules and rate design should look like for community solar garden projects going forward. Stakeholders will also plan for the post-2016 world without the federal investment tax credit. These efforts could lead to further queue reform, and, possibly, to the long-awaited implementation of a value of solar rate. The latter is intended to more fairly account for all of distributed solar’s costs and benefits so that non-participating ratepayers are not unfairly burdened. With the right rules for interconnection and fair rates, community solar may be a sustainable path forward for mid-scale solar development that is compatible with efficient land use, ratepayer protection, renewable energy goals and access to solar for everyone.

Joey Bada$$ performs Prince tribute onstage during the 2016 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival Weekend 2. The second weekend of Coachella is very clearly becoming a Prince party. The festival kicked off on Friday, just a day after the music icon died at the age of 57, and artists in Indio, California, honored him with performances of some of his most beloved hits. According to Billboard, LCD Soundsystem, Mavis Staples, Joey Bada$$, and Sufjan Stevens and Gallant all paid tribute with either full covers or brief teases. Jack U paid tribute with a montage at the end of their set. James Murphy and co. — who just last week covered David Bowie's "Heroes" — performed "Controversy" during their headlining set. Gallant and Sufjan Stevens teamed up for "Purple Rain." Stay tuned for more. Chances are, this is just the beginning.

Starburst is an iconic Netent Slot which is hugely popular for its beautiful graphics and it’s easy to play demeanour. Play this cosmic slot for big win combos and its intergalactic wild extras! NetEnt’s Starburst Slot is one of the original slots released by Netent and is probably the most iconic and popular of NetEnt slots today. Starbursts notoriety is probably helped by the fact that most free spins are given on Starburst Slot by online casinos, so what better way than to try Starburst for free? Simply load the game and take in all of the vibrant and mesmerising graphics. The graphics are fantastic looking, and the slot is set against a backdrop which is like an arcade atmosphere set in deep space. The icons on the reels include stars and gems and space like hues. The soundtrack is very fitting and futuristic like too, and it adds to the theme very well. Netent’s Starburst Slot Machine is a perfect slot for players who like playing high paced energising slots, with little distraction from other gimmick extra features. Starburst Slot by Netent, has been designed with 5-reels, 3-rows, and a nice added value perquisite of a Win Both Ways pay lines feature. This means that the winning pay lines run from left to right, and also right to left. This means more chances to get some active pay lines which will ultimately net you some nice wins. As we mentioned, Starburst Slot is quite a high paced slot, but it is simple, yet effective. This review is of course based on our personal taste but some of you might find it lacks certain features you’re used to seeing by now. Keep in mind, that Starburst Slot is a little more traditional, yet modern in the aesthetical sense. The highlight of the Starburst slot is the innovative Starburst Wilds feature but, not that much else. But don't let that put you off. Starburst Wilds: These crafty little icons appear only on the three middle reels (2, 3, and 4) but this is where they will become your friend as they will expand to occupy an entire reel helping you win more coins. Is that all you say? Well, if it were that would truly be a disappointment for Netent, wouldn’t it? Since this is Netent, there is indeed a twist: The Wild will not only replace all other symbols, but it’ll also grant a re-spin each time it appears. If another Wild appears during that re-spin, it will expand and remain in place with any previously expanded Wilds, for up to three re-spins. As you can see with this twist, it definitely makes way for some super wins, and the chances for big wins become quite cosmological at this stage. With that said, Starburst Slot offers you the chance to win up to 50000 coins and by getting the Starburst re-spins in additional to the wilds, will really help well you on the way to winning some of the maximum prize amount. Starburst was one of the original Netent Slots to be transformed into a mobile slot. Starburst Touch™ is the mobile slot and the desktop counterpart. The great thing about Netent Touch™ Mobile Slots is that Netent believe devil is in the details and do not compromise anything. Starburst Touch™ Slot looks great as it does in the main slot, features the same astral soundtrack and it’s really easy to play on not only miniature devices, but touch screens as well. We might even go as far as saying we prefer playing it on our IPad (Well.. we do!) If you love playing mobile slots on the go, then try Starburst Mobile slot as it won’t disappoint. Starburst Slot is popular for a few good reasons; mainly being that it’s really easy to play and it looks awesome. Starburst Slot is timeless and doesn’t have that many features which are unlikable. Some players might feel that it lacks imagination, others may feel it simple but effective. It does all come down to personal choice but once you play Starburst, which you can do easily as many online casinos offer starburst free spins, you will see there is a certain appeal to playing it. Even though Starburst doesn’t offer a free spins game, the Starburst wilds can offer you major wins as they can become stacked wilds and cover entire reels for some big win opportunities. Try this popular slot at a recommended Netent Casino below to see for yourself!

Facebook Messenger will come in really handy to anyone who regularly uses Facebook which is probably just about everyone. When keys do appear no typing takes place. Facebook for Windows 10 can run in the background and give you pop up notifications on your screen if you get any new messages or if your friends update their status. That said, gaming aside, you'll get all the same updates from friends and family; browse your timeline, upload and save photos, change your status, comment and the whole lot -- from anywhere. Once opened up, the Setups menu will appear at the right-side of your display. Many users report crashes, bugs and a general lack of functionality on certain devices. Today, it stands as a multifaceted app downloaded by hundreds of thousands of Android and Apple users. Get notified when people comment on your posts, be reminded of upcoming events, and be updated in your Groups. The official Facebook app for Android continues to get improvements with every update, but the feature bloat goes up along with those improvements. They found some pretty interesting information about the most in-demand apps for Android users around the world. Facebook for Windows 10 is extremely easy to use. You can save links that interest you; as of late you can react to posts you feel strongly about; you can also unfollow pages and turn on or off notifications for posts. The marketing side of Facebook and the usability of business pages is significantly reduced, as the social media aspect takes precedence. This all-new feature lets you monitor how your individual posts are performing. When you choose one of these options, your browser automatically opens the corresponding Facebook page, in conjunction with the application, which actually isn't very practical. Facebook is the official Android app for the iconic original social network par excellence. Keeping up with friends is faster than ever. Move and rescale it, if you need. The extensive use you give to your most data-hungry apps can easily result in you going over your limit by the end of the month. There should be a burger food selection, click it to access to the Settings. The Facebook universe at your fingertips! However, sometimes the Creator works fine and there are other times it does not. On the whole, I found the Facebook app for Windows 10 to be more than qualified. Touch the screen, and the controls will react immediately. Last but not least, it's also important to note that Facebook also offers a number of that can be useful sometimes. In-app purchases All In-App purchase available through Facebook relate to any purchases made through games or game apps. It's important to note that the Facebook application for Windows 10 only works with Windows 10 or 8. Facebook also lets you use your favorite Facebook apps and games, and connect with other users. Install Facebook App and start it. Use it to get a better sense of how much engagement your posts are receiving and who is viewing them! As with other instant messaging apps, Facebook Messenger lets you share images, or your location, in the text messages; you can even add several recipients and open chat windows with several people at the same time. Some posts don't show as when comparing in browser. Half the time you can't reply because; 1. Facebook Creator is your one-stop shop to grow as a creator. Luckily, Facebook has finally decided to offer an independent app able to analyze and compare all sorts of metrics for our pages. Download and Install XePlayer Android Emulator. You can also play games within the app, backup your photos online, watch live videos and broadcast your own, buy and sell, follow artists and companies, and everything else that you can do on the Facebook site. This is useful for skim reading. The app covers all the bases you would expect it to, and generally appeals to a market that uses Facebook for scrolling and reading purposes. All software names, brands, company names, registered and well-known trademarks mentioned on Freepps. This design will appeal primarily to users who use the app for reading articles and keeping up to date with friends. Since its launch nearly 6 years ago, the official app has undergone a series of upgrades and updates. In time, however, the app became very focused on the timeline aspect of the social media platform- and was redesigned to predominantly feature posts. Remember that clicking on Account Settings will certainly take you from the app and right into the internet browser. The real question is, however, whether the Facebook app could ever fare quite as well as its web based predecessor- and below we review some of its main features in an attempt to answer this. Facebook releases its new and simplified Messenger 4 Facebook Messenger has a completely new design. Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Albeit, it does come with a single but major setback. The design is very image heavy, and images or videos are likely to overshadow text on your screens. Over 4297875 users rating a average 4. Videos will automatically jump to full screen when clicked, and you can save links to read or browse at a later date. You can download Facebook 112. Details This version of Facebook uses less data and works in all network conditions. These developer-created effects extend to create new opportunities for Live videos. Facebook for Android allows users to like and comment on a post shared by their friends. There is a bug with iPhone Xs where when you click on video insights you get stuck because the exit button is under the clock at the top of the X. Coming to join them and download Facebook Lite directly! But for now, it fits all of my needs so I highly recommend it! It is very important to note that the Facebook application for Windows 10 only collaborates with Windows 10 or 8. Facebook has been communicating with me on these issues for more than a month but have still not got the issues corrected. This is currently supported for Pages and will be soon be available for profiles as well. Only for Windows 10 Although it offers no new features or changes, it works perfectly with the modern interface and doesn't interrupt your Facebook browsing, especially on tablets and touch devices. The Facebook Analytics app for Android gives you an in-depth look at your statistics Although the official Facebook app and its page manager already lets us see the stats for our pages, its capabilities are still far from what we can do through the of the service. Facebook mobile gives users the option to download games, and these games offer purchases and upgrades that are self contained. As with the web version, Facebook for Android enables users to create an account or log into an account that already exists. Games still reign king in the Android catalog in 2018 With the first quarter of 2018 behind us, the company has conducted a study of mobile app downloads during the first three months of the year. You can upload photos and videos straight from your gallery directly onto your Facebook account.

Complementary feeding is central to an infant’s growth and development. There are two main approaches to complementary feeding: baby-led and traditional. The baby-led approach allows the infant to feed themselves solid foods during the family mealtime. The traditional approach involves parents feeding the infant pureed foods. This study aimed to explore mothers’ approaches to and experiences with complementary feeding. Thirteen mothers completed the two-phase study, first utilising photo-voice to collect photographs of their complementary feeding experience, followed by participating in a focus group. Focus groups were segregated according to complementary feeding approach (baby-led or traditional) based on content analysis of participant photographs and were audio-taped and transcribed. Interpretive thematic analysis of the baby-led and traditional transcripts occurred separately, then compared for similar and divergent themes. Four main themes emerged: (1) Infant centred complementary feeding; (2) Mother centred complementary feeding; (3) Redefining the baby-led approach; and (4) Research and advice. While mothers adopting both approaches discussed all themes; those using a baby-led approach discussed the infant centred complementary feeding theme further. The baby-led approach was redefined and used practically according to mothers’ food ideals. Mothers adopting a aby-led approach appeared empowered to do independent complementary feeding research while those using a traditional approach seemed to willingly accept health professional advice. This study offers a valuable insight into mothers’ experiences with complementary feeding in the Australian context and may assist health professionals to understand mothers’ experiences and tailor their care accordingly.

Selling a house is a long and complicated process that usually involves a lot of waiting. You can’t always make the perfect buyer come along the first time, but you can do things to your home to make it more desirable. Changing things up can reduce your potential for missed opportunities. Make people who view your property fall in love with it immediately with these crafty tips. Cleanliness is the first thing potential buyers are going to look for. You can have an incredible property, but if it’s messy and cluttered, people might not see just how great your house is. You don’t need to replace all of your floors if they’re in good condition – just thoroughly scrub them and have older hardwood resurfaced. Polish your faucets and make your countertops sparkle. Clean around your baseboards thoroughly. Make it look like no one has ever lived there. The same goes for your yard. We all tend to accumulate a lot of garbage outside, whether it’s tree trimmings that were never hauled away or a broken lawnmower that hasn’t yet been repaired. If your patio furniture has seen better days and you don’t plan on taking it with you when you move, now is as good a time as any to dispose of it. The exterior of your home has been exposed to the weather for as long as your home has been standing. Your paintjob might look a little dingy, and it’s best to freshen things up. Repaint the exterior of your home an inviting neutral color, or choose a hue that matches the other home exteriors in your neighborhood. The same goes for the interior of your house. Your son’s bright blue bedroom might not appeal to someone who is looking for a smaller room to use as a home office space. Choose colors that you might consider boring – they’ll allow the people viewing your house to see the potential of a room. Tan, cream, beige, and taupe are all safe bets for interior repainting. It’s obviously going to be harder to sell a home that needs major repairs, such as a total roof replacement or completely new plumbing. If your home needs a few minor repairs, you can probably do them yourself on a small budget. Leaky faucets, broken light switches, cracked outlet covers, and lightbulbs that need to be replaced are easy to handle for a few bucks in a few hours. You don’t need to replace or upgrade things like lighting fixtures if they’re clean and in good shape – just make sure they look nice and they’re working well. The way your home looks from the outside is the first impression people are going to get. If it looks run down or neglected from the outside, people might not feel tempted to knock on the door. Sprucing up your exterior and your yard will make people curious about what’s going on inside. Plant some grass. Choose some low maintenance flowers or shrubbery for the flowerbeds outside your home. Paint your wooden fences, and throw down a few inexpensive stepping stones around your front garden. You don’t need to perform an entire landscaping overhaul, but adding some interest to the front of your home will give it some curb appeal. Some people get really worried about pets. That’s why so many apartment complexes require residents to pay an extra deposit if they’d like to keep a dog or cat. Dogs dig holes and leave messes in the yard, and cats have a tendency to scratch surfaces and leave odors behind in the home. Some buyers might worry that they’ll find some surprises your furry friends have left behind. Have your pets stay with a friend or family member when you’re showing your home. Remove any evidence that a pet might have been there, such as toys, food dishes, or litter boxes. Make sure there’s no lingering scent or pet hair left behind. Another thing you’ll want to consider is your family photos or your children’s art projects. Having these things displayed makes your house feels like your home. The people viewing the property want to feel like your house could be their home. Hiding these touches makes it easier for them to envision themselves happy there. Even if you aren’t very big on decorating, people will be looking for details. If you have subtle, neutral decorations around your home, you’re probably already good to go. If you don’t, you might want to pick up a few things. Vases, generic wall art, and candles are easy to find at a dollar store. Spending a few dollars on little touches will make the place feel warm and inviting. People are also very sensitive to smells. Scented candles or tart melts that are subtle and appropriate for the season will resonate with buyers, whether they realize it or not. Less is more – make sure your fragrance choice isn’t overwhelming. Opt for vanilla or apple cinnamon around fall and winter. Summer and spring do better with subtle citrus or green scents. The majority of people who look for homes do the bulk of their research online. They need a reason to get in their cars and drive to you. Include as many flattering photos with your listing as you can. Get a shot of every room that showcases the amount of space. Use natural sunlight, and make sure there are no people in the photos. If you don’t want to be bothered with all of the hard work that goes into preparing a home for a quick sale, you can always sell it as-is to a cash buyer like an investor. Investors don’t care if a home feels warm, shiny, or new. They’re willing to do all of the hard work themselves, allowing you to move sooner and start the next chapter of your life. « Previous Post How Long Will it Take Me to Sell My Home?

Problem Skin essential oil blend has been specially blended to help calm problem skin. Problem Skin essential oil blend contains lavender essential oil (antiseptic and soothing), bergamot essential oil (antibacterial and balancing), chamomile roman essential oil (relaxing and antibacterial) and chamomile german essential oil (soothing). It is particularly useful for those with dry, sensitive, irritated and problem skin.

Accommodation Gallery Book Your Stay Blog - Cooking with Sergio Why Abruzzo? Unlike their famous cousins in Tuscany, these biscuits are less sweet and not as hard as a rock, so less likely to break your teeth! This recipe calls for considerably less sugar and more eggs than their Tuscan counterpart, plus the “secret ingredient” of grated lemon peel. If you don't like or are intolerant to almonds, they are equally as good made with other ingredients. One of my favourite alternatives is to use grated orange peel and dark chocolate chips! Delicious to dunk into cappuccino, tea, vin santo or just on their own. In a large bowl beat the eggs with the sugar and then add the softened butter, grated lemon and mix until smooth and creamy. Finally sift the flour together with the baking powder and mix everything with your hands and add the almonds, until it forms a firm dough. Divide the dough into 5 or 6 pieces and using your hands shape each piece into a long “log”. Each should be about 30cm long and 5cm in diameter. Flatten them slightly and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes in the centre of your oven. Don't cook for any longer, as a second bake is needed and they will crumble if over-baked. Remove from oven and whilst they are still hot slice each “log” slightly diagonally at 2cm intervals with the sharpest knife you have. It is important to use a sharp knife to get a clean cut through the almonds. Separate the biscuits slightly and return them to the oven for a further 10 minutes or so or until they are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. Really simple and absolutely delizioso - buon appetito!

The time during which an employee is paid while not working because of a situation beyond his/her control. Allowed time is granted more frequently to salaried employees than to wage earners,. Allowed time is usually finite; after its expiration, the employee often must begin to forgo payment. Examples of allowed time include sick time or grieving time. It is also called waiting time. It should not be confused with a waiting period. the maximum amount of time which an employee should take to perform a specific production task. Allowed times tend to be used in INCENTIVE BONUS SCHEMES as the basis for computing bonus payments. If the allowed time is exceeded no bonus is payable. However, if the actual time taken to perform the particular task is less than the allowed time, a bonus would be payable based upon the amount of time saved. See WORK MEASUREMENT.

This diet simply restricts calorie intake, while it makes you increase proteins, fat, and carbohydrates. So, you will get 40% of calories from carbohydrates, 30% from fat and 30% from proteins. The Zoe Diet helps you balance your insulin levels, and that makes you lose weight, as they say. Every meal is carefully planned so you eat less protein while you make the intake of carbohydrates. This is a sample of a dinner in this diet. 1 slice of cheese (low-fat), hamburger meat (4.5 ounces), 1 slice of bread and small fruit servings. The good sides of the Zone Diet are: variety of food you can eat during this diet is fantastic, much better than in other diets of this kind, it is really easy to use, in the beginning you will know which kind of food you must avoid, you have meals often, so there are small chance you will be hungry. Other benefits are: you have an intake of healthy fat, it helps you control and maintain your sugar controls and you will certainly lose weight. On the other side, your intake of calcium will be low, some nutrition’s are missing (vitamin C, folic acid, fiber, and minerals), this plan is good for most people, but there are some who cannot use this diet, because of its dietary balance (30-30-40). Maybe the worse drawbacks are kidney risk, high levels of fat, caloric restriction and it is expensive. The Zone Diet is really good if you want to lose weight, but claims that it can reduce heart disease and diabetes are not proved. In one study, of 15 diets used for weight loss, the Zone Diet was in the top five.

Local authorities (“LAs”) have legal duties to identify and assess the special educational needs and disabilites (“SEND”) of children and young people for whom they are responsible. LAs become responsible for a child or young person in their area when they become aware that the child or young person has or may have SEND. Under the Children and Families Act 2014, the LA must always think about how the child or young person can be supported to facilitate their development and to help them achieve the “best possible educational and other outcomes”. If a child or young person needs, or may need, more support than their school or other setting can give them, then the LA must carry out an Education, Health and Care Needs Assessment. This assessment may lead to an Education, Health and Care plan (“EHC plan”) being produced for them. An EHC plan will set out the additional support the child or young person needs and the school or other institution they will go to. Once special educational provision has been specified in an EHC plan, the LA has a legal duty to provide it. This cannot be overruled by the LA’s SEND funding policy or other internal funding arrangements. If you feel that The London Borough of Sutton is not complying with its legal duties, there are a number of ways in which you can challenge this. Please follow the link to IPSEA for more information. If you haven’t been able to find the answer to your question on this page, see our FAQs on how local authorities should help.

Unfortunately, mammograms miss 20-25% of all cancers. They also underestimate the size of DCIS in a third of all lumpectomy patients. When this happens, the surgeon misses some DCIS and another surgery is needed. MRIs, which use magnets rather than radiation, can find what mammograms miss. According to a new study published in Academic Radiology in 2018, performing MRI on patients with non-invasive breast cancer can provide additional value. The authors studied data from 295 patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), focusing on 123 patients who received both mammography and breast MRI. The mean patient age was 57 years old. The mean tumor size was 39.6 mm. Overall, the DCIS was clinically occult in the mammography results for more than 24 percent of patients. DCIS was clinically occult in more than 1 percent of the breast MRI results. MRI outperforms MG in the detection and size estimation of DCIS and can reduce positive margin rates. According to a 2010 JNCI article by Dr. Constance Lehman: “Over the last decade, research has confirmed that of all imaging tools, MRI has the highest sensitivity in detection of DCIS (compared with mammography and ultrasound).” This is especially true of the more aggressive high grade DCIS. A 2007 study by University of Bonn radiologist Professor Christiane Kuhl found that MRI detected 98% of high grade DCIS while mammography found only 52%. According to her, this is because high grade DCIS does not develop the micro calcifications that mammograms detect, but instead develops blood vessels which absorb the contrast dye used in an MRI. Dr. Kuhl’s most recent study demonstrated that a shorter and possibly less expensive breast (FAST ) MRI protocol seems to be just as accurate and far less expensive. In 1996, a small study concluded: RODEO MR imaging enabled accurate determination of tumor extent in 21 of 22 (95%) patients. Mammography depicted 18 of 19 DCIS lesions. No mammographic feature helped differentiate pure DCIS from DCIS with micro-invasion. Mammography enabled accurate determination of tumor extent in 14 of 19 (74%) patients. See Abstract here. More information about Aurora 1.5T Dedicated Breast MRI System here. *According to Dr. Michael Lagios, any “dedicated” breast MRI is as effective as an Aurora RODEO MRI. This means the MRI machine is used exclusively for breast imaging and is not used to image other body parts. Just like mammography is used at breast imaging centers strictly for breast imaging. Did you have gadolinium used as a contrast or does the Rodeo MRI work without contrast? Solutions of chelated organic gadolinium based complex agents (GBCAs) are used as intravenously administered gadolinium-based MRI contrast agents in medical magnetic resonance imaging for both standard and RODEO MRIs. At this time, only a very small percentage of patients who receive GBCAs appear to be at an increased risk for developing a serious systemic fibrosing disease, NSF. The patients at risk are those with acute or chronic severe renal (kidney) insufficiency (glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min/1.73m2. They do a blood test prior to all MRIs to make sure a patient's kidneys are functioning well. When I asked Dr. Harms re this, he said that gadolinium contrast has caused kidney failure in only a very few people worldwide and only if they already were experiencing renal failure. As with any medical procedure the risks need to be weighed vs.the benefits. According to Dr. Harms the risk of using the gadolinium contrast dye is extremely low. Hope this helps ease your mind. Hi, I had a mammogram in February that showed very, very small microcalcifications. It was my first mammo. I was naturally referred to have a biopsy. I was not ready to rush into a biopsy. From there is went and had a thermogram which came out clean. Due to my mom have bc twice I was still feeling a little uneasy. I went in for the aurora rodeo MRI in early April. The findings were that there “was no discrete suspicious findings in the area of mammographic concern. Do you have any thoughts on why or how a mammo would pick up calcs and a MRI wouldn’t? It is my understanding that the MRI is more sensitive. In the back of my mind I keep thinking the calcs on the mammo could be scar tissue as they are in the exact location as I had mastitis in. On one hand I feel relief, on the other I am wondering if I should have my mammo (which has already had 2 opinions) and the MRI sent for another opinion? As I mentioned I am in no hurry to get a biopsy, that is my last resort! If you feel uneasy, it is a good idea to have the microcalcs checked out further. In 2009 I had similar findings on the first mammogram I had after my 2007 lumpectomy for DCIS. They thought they saw some new micro calcs and also two other suspicious areas on an ultrasound. They wanted to do 3 biopsies, yet my RODEO MRI found nothing. In spite of the fact that the RODEO MRI has less than a 1 percent false negative rate, I needed reassurance. I also contacted the doctor who invented the RODEO MRI, Dr. Steven Harms. He reviewed all my imaging and said he did not see anything invasive. He also said having the 3 biopsies would cause significant scarring and even if he did the biopsies, he would recommend I have another MRI in 6 months. I opted to skip the biopsies and instead have the the 6 month followup MRI. It showed no change and I was therefore able to avoid all 3 biopsies. That was five years ago and so far my yearly RODEO MRIs have all been good. Hi Kathleen, Unfortunately the Aurora website has been down for a while….We recently learned that Aurora may be in bankruptcy. Dr. Lagios said that any “dedicated” breast MRI is equivalent. I would call around to major University hospitals and imaging centers and ask if they have an MRI machine dedicated soley for breast imaging. If they tell you they have a “dedicated” breast coil that is not the same. the machine has to be only used for breast imaging to be considered a truly “dedicated” breast MRI. . Thanks for sharing I am Dcis Er Pr+++ clear margains Dcis 39 I was almost 40 now at 42 , I am ok , I really can’t stand having the Mammograms since 35! Baseline and the cystic dense breasts that many women have . And ultra sound . Ended up seeing a breast Specialist and was in fear cause my “age” they said m-f rad to the right side . Having tattoos anyways , I didn’t like the 8 dots of tattoos I had to have for the high tech radiation that made me so fatigued and upset somwdays . But I can’t look back I was also told to have the brac1-2 and that was 3-4 weeks wait was ok and I was negative . So I declined tomaxafin Dcis 0 grade 2 clear margains and rads and oncologist was ok w my decision. I have very little animal product and try to eat organic . So , can I have this MRI done next Oct? when I am due for mammo and ultrasound ? I too had the barbed wire and so sorry u has to deal w that barbaric ! To say the least. My reg Dr said they simply don’t have enough data yet who’s immune will fight it and who’s won’t because I was miffed and asked why all cancers invasive or not treated same . So that was what he told me . Hello, not the team of cancer Drs and don’t get me wrong , some were amazing . Anyways ty and do most INsurance co cover this ? Ty so so much for story and ty in advance . Suzie any other tips ?

Nearly half of U.S. millennials use their smartphones to check their credit scores. And a majority of young adults use their phones for a variety of other financial activities. Nine out of 10 Americans aged 18-37 use their smartphones to look up personal finance information, and 8 in 10 make financial transactions with their devices. Yet when given a financial literacy quiz, millennials answered less than half of the questions correctly. The findings come from a new report by the TIAA Institute and the Global Financial Literacy Excellence Center (GFLEC) at George Washington University. The study found that a vast majority of millennials use their phones to compare prices (82 percent), and two-thirds (67 percent) track spending on their phones. About half of the respondents (47 percent) said they frequently or sometimes check their credit scores with their phones, with women edging out men on this behavior (51 percent for female millennials versus 44 percent for males). The study also showed that the wealthiest millennials (those making $100,000 or more per year) were less likely than millennials who make less than $100,000 to check their credit scores on their phones. Only 39 percent of the former group did so, while mobile score-checking among the other income groups ranged from 50-55 percent. In terms of making actual financial transactions, almost 7 in 10 millennials (68 percent) said they pay bills with their smartphones, 58 percent deposit checks and 53 percent send or receive money with their devices. Yet when scored on a financial literacy quiz included in the survey, younger millennials (age 18-27) answered just 41 percent of the questions correctly and older millennials (age 28-37) answered 47 percent. That compares to a score of 49 percent for Generation X respondents and 55 percent for baby boomers. The TIAA Institute and GFLEC conducted their study in January 2018, among 1,007 U.S. adults age 18 and older. Weighted to reflect national population demographics, the findings were released Sep. 15.

Today I will talk about the costume and embroidery of one of the Baltic Finnic Peoples, the Seto. They are sometimes considered to be a rather divergent Estonian group, but they consider themselves and their language to be distinct. In Estonian and in Russian they are called Setu. They call their homeland Setomaa, and it is currently divided between Russia and Estonia. They, like so many indigenous peoples, are a minority in their own homeland, being outnumbered by ethnic Russians on both sides of the border. There are maybe 10,000 or so unassimilated Seto today. Here is a map of Setomaa, in green. The Estonian provinces of Voromaa and Tartomaa are visible to the left, and Vinnemaa, which means Russia in Estonian is to the right. The dark line is the border. Here is the Seto flag. The photo at the top of the article shows three people in traditional costume. the woman in the middle is wearing the old costume which dates to the first half of the 19th cent, and the woman on the right is wearing the 'new costume', which was worn from the second half of the 19th cent. Both are commonly used now for performances and special occasions. The chemise [ pikki käüstega hamõ ] of the old costume has a very archaic Uralic style cut, somewhat reminiscent of that of the northern Udmurt. The sleeves are very long, and are gathered up on the forearms. When working, the women would put their arms through the openings at the elbows, and tie the ends of the sleeves in back. Red stripes are woven into the linen across the shoulders, then a piece of red and white bobbin lace would be inserted at the shoulder seam, and there is red embroidery at the upper end of the outer sleeve piece. A narrow ornament would also be embroidered at the cuff. You can see a seam across the middle of the garment, the upper part is made of finer linen, and the lower part, which does not show, of coarser. In this museum piece, the embroidery looks like darning stitch. For modern pieces they use prepared linen which does not have the red stripes for the shoulders. They also tend to use diagonal Holbein stitch for the embroidery. We have seen this type of embroidery in Karelia, Ingria and northwest Russia, it seems to be spread all over the region. A long white garment is worn over the chemise. This had a linen warp and woolen weft. It is called Rüüd, and also has long narrow sleeves which are never used, but which hang down in back and are tucked under the sash. It buttons to the waist, and hangs to the ankles. In modern pieces a couple of ribbons are usually sewn on above the hem. A narrow inkle-woven sash with typical designs is wrapped around the waist and holds the outfit together. Hanging on the sash is a garment which is unique to the Uralic peoples, the hip apron, Puusapõll. The Seto version is rectangular and has four different designs embroidered on it. Since the garment is folded when wearing it, only one of the four designs is visible at a time. This makes it possible to show off different designs at different times. The embroidery is executed in a combination of Holbein stitch, counted satin stitch and darning stitch, with possibly some cross stitch on the borders of the designs. Obviously many designs are possible within this tradition. I have no information as to how or why this costume took over. This was still used into the 20th cent. and is still used today for special occasions. The cut of the new chemise resembles one which is common in northern Russian costume. The overgarment is now made of black or dark blue bought cloth and is generally called sukman. The cut is similar to the old one, but the fake sleeves have disappeared. It is belted with the same kind of sash as the old one. The upper sleeve of the chemise has a woven ornament, with two wide stripes in red and a design woven in pick up in between.The older designs are geometric, but the more recent ones tend to be floral in nature. Another change is that the old red was made from bedstraw root, but when artificial dyes became available, the reds used gradually became darker. There is a tradition which says that no two chemises should have the exact same design, so there is a great variety of designs found. The edge of the sleeve is also woven in red, and the cuffs are usually of bought cloth. The hip apron is not worn with this costume, and a regular apron has replaced it. It is usually of a plain color, but often is made of silky material, and sometimes of a printed design. The girl's headdress for both costumes is crown shaped and slightly flared, resembling others worn in the Baltic region. It is tied in back with a wide ribbon and is decorated in a very colorful way. It leaves the hair uncovered. Married women braid their hair into two braids which are arranged around the top of the head. If a woman does not have enough hair to make a complete crown, braids of tow are added. A very long length of linen is wrapped around the head twice, covering the hair and then hangs down the back almost to the hem of the dress. It is held in place by a finger woven sash, and also by the sash tied around the waist. This headdress is also worn with both costumes. The ends of this headdress have red woven ornament and often embroidery as well. Past this is a solid red woven area with colorful embroidery of a geometric nature or woven design, or both. The very edge is trimmed with bobbin lace, or in some newer examples, crochet lace. This piece has some of the most unique embroidery of the Seto people. Sometimes a plain or embroidered kerchief is tied over this headdress. This type of embroidery is now being used on other decorative articles as well. The complex of jewelry which is worn with this costume is truly amazing. First is a circular silver brooch, similar to that worn in many places in the Baltics and Scandinavia, but MUCH larger. This actually serves to hold the front opening of the garments closed. This brooch has been getting larger for a long time, apparantly, the first image shows an example from the early 19th century and how it actually pins. The second and third images show successively newer ones. You can see that they are getting progressively larger. There is a short silver chain with coins, a longer silver chain with hollow silver beads, and a long chain of twisted silver links which is usually looped around three times. Others may be added. The entire ensemble often weighs 2 kg, or 4-5 pounds. Note also the wool overcoat and woven ornament on the end of the head cloth in this photo. The costume is completed with white knitted 'tube' socks, and either shoes woven of birch bark, moccasins, shoes or half boots, see the various images in this article. The man's costume consists of a linen shirt with a slit opening left of the neck, linen pants striped in blue, white, and sometimes red, sash similar to that of the women or twisted like a cord, patterned knee length 'tube' stockings, moccasins or boots, and a knee-length woolen jacket. The shirt has a short stand-up collar with red embroidery, often of darning stitch. There are small motifs embroidered on the shirt just below the collar and around the opening slit. Similar woven or embroidered designs are found on the sleeve ends, the hem of the shirt, and for some reason, on the side panels just beneath the sleeves. Here we have closeups of collar, cuff and hem of an old shirt, from top to bottom. A couple of examples of the designs knit into the socks. As in other parts of the Baltic region, knit mittens are also worn here. The man's jacket is decorated with applique. The man in the center is not Seto, possibly Mari. In Winter, both men and women wear long full gray overcoats. Thank you for reading, I hope that you have found this interesting and informative. Some of the Seto embroidery would make a beautiful addition to any home. A few more images to close. Here is a video documentary about traditional Seto Singing. This was sent to me by one of my readers who is familiar with this region. just found this great blog while searching for provencale folk costumes. you are doing a very good job here! i´m sure i visit you every time i need some beautiful inspiration. Ah! Setomaa! Thank you Roman, this brings me such warm memories! I did not visit Värska for Jüripäev - St Georges day - this year, but I have been there many times. The 22d picture from top: The lady to the left is Veera, a master craftswoman and singer of ancient Seto "leelo" songs. Pay attention to the crochet edges of the red embroidered pieces. The multi color crochet is also typical for the region. The woman in the last picture is preparing for a traditional family picnic - at the local graveyard! The family meets after church and eat and drink near their beloved ancestors. The clergy participates too, a prayer, a song (Eternal memory) and then everybody eats delicious pastries, sandwiches, salt or smoked fish, boiled egs, and different sweets, drink coffee and perhaps a little vodka. They tell stories about and memories of the deceased. The belief is (or was) that everything you eat and drink by the grave is food for the dead. Thank you for this wonderful and informative article! The colors are extra beautiful against the dark green of the trees, and the blue/white of the sky! Thank you for your question. First of all, it is not a breastplate, it is a pin, a brooch, which serves to fasten the front edges of the garment together. This type of pin is very ancient, and is used throughout the Baltic and Fenno-Scandian region. It just so happens that in Setomaa the brooch became greatly enlarged as a vagary of fashion. Similar brooches from the early 19th cent are not quite as large. Si;ver jewelry, especially necklaces with hollow silver beads are a very old Finnic tradition, but again the Seto have taken this and gone to an extreme with it [although not as far as some other local traditions, such as la Alberca in Spain] The large brooch is often commented upon, but I have no explanation as to why it occurred in any of my sources. The bigger brooch the wealthier girl/woman. That seems to be the usual explanation. But, like all jewellery they protect its wearer from evil. So in a sense this big brooch really is a shield. I have also read that in olden times bigger brooches were worn by women who were still in their childbearing years.

Coding Goûter. Kids, code, and cakes! Coding Goûter is not a class, is not a lesson, and has no teachers: Kids and adults discover and learn together, from each others. We have organized 10 Coding Goûters as of december 2012, most of them with a wide range of kid’s age – 5 to 14 – and constantly slightly more girls than boys. Coding Goûter is a (mostly) monthly event where kids and parents play with a variety of programming tools, algorithmic games and puzzles, development environments, and languages. 'Goûter' is French for a child’s afternoon snack or party, so we eat cakes and candies too! We are many to have learned to code when we were kids, or teenagers, or later, but in all cases we *enjoyed* it. For some of us it’s now their job! How do we share the marvel and creativity of code with our children? It’s hard. We don’t really have time at home, because there’s always something else to do. Something is missing, a time for kids and parents that feels like a hackathon or a coding retreat, where you can explore, meet, fail, start over. So let’s have fun together! * When we were young, we learned by copying code, hacking around. We draw from these experiences to recreate an environment where learning happens organically. * Letting the kids give the creative direction allows for surprises and inclusiveness. * Kids demo to others, because it beats points or badges as a reward. * We take our time, a Coding Goûter last more than 3 hours. 15. because no t every kid want to do the oh-so classic e"let’s buil d a shooter gam with aliens" 16. stay in touchhttp:// codinggouter.orghttp://twitter.com /codinggouter juliendorra@ juliendorra.com … or send me an email!

Heading is the direction you are walking or driving a vehicle or flying, it is using units of degrees with the north as a point of 0 or 360 degrees. East is 90 degrees, south is 180 degrees, and west as 270 degrees. North may use the magnetic north (compass), but can also use an absolute north (North Pole). In this attached excel sheet, I use the absolute north as a point of north or 0 degree. Suppose you are walking from point A to point C, or from starting point to a camp as the above picture, through point B or a bridge at north. Start at point A, you move to the north to point B, or the so-called heading 0 degree, as far as 10 km. Arriving at point B, you turn to the right, or the so-called 90-degrees heading and walk towards point C with 10 km distance. Bearing is the angle of the starting point towards the end of the journey or the destination point, or position of an object from the observer. So a bearing, can be composed of several headings. In the example above, bearing from point A to point C is 45 degrees. Bearing is also called azimuth. GPS coordinate system used on the Excel sheet is a decimal number, because it is more easily calculated. On ‘conversion’ sheet, there are formulas to change decimal number to sexagesimal (degrees minutes seconds). Please note the sequence of latitude and longitude coordinate, not to reverse. Google Maps uses a system of latitude and longitude (y and x), instead of as usual in mathematics longitude and latitude (x and y). Heading when start is not always the same as when finish, especially for long distance. If we are near the equator, heading at the beginning and at the end of travel can be almost the same. It is because of our position on the north and south poles are always about the same. For example a flight conducted along the equator toward the east (heading 90 degrees). As long as the aircraft follows the equator and towards the east, in any position, the north pole is always on the left, and the south pole is always on the right of that aircraft. Likewise, if we fly along the line of latitude. Eg from the south pole to the north pole. During the trip, either at the start or near the destination, north pole position is always in front and the south pole is always in the back. So heading at the start and at the end of flight is almost the same 0 degree. But if the journey is done over the pole, for example: the north pole, at the beginning of the trip heading 0 or 360 degrees. When passing over the north pole (90,0), the heading will change to 180 degrees. For example: flights from Pulkovo International Airport, Saint Petersburg, Russia (59.800278, 30.262500) to the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, Alaska, United States of America (61.17417, -149.99833). At Saint Petersburg, Russia after take off; initial heading 0.147 or to the north, when approaching Anchorage just before landing, heading is changed to 179.844 or heading to the south. Even though the flight is following straight line. And the shortest distance between Saint Petersbug to Anchorage is over the north pole. So to explain the flight path, mid point needs to be calculated, ie the point in the middle of a trip. Saint Petersburg flight towards Anchorage has mid point at (89.309101, 36.265637). Heading at the mid point is 6,130 degrees. Another example: a flight from Bordeaux Airport, Merignac, France (44.830309, -0.701237) to Toronto Pearson International Airport, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada (43.67768, -79.624958). After takeoff in Bordeaux, flight will be heading to 298.900 degrees. Half way will be at mid point (51.605128, -40.625340) and heading will become 268.540 degrees. Before landing in Toronto, the final heading is 239.258 degrees. So after take off flight heads to approximately north-west, at the mid point heads to the west, while approaching Toronto flight heads to approximately the southwest. Both cities Bordeaux and Toronto are at nearly the same latitude line, which is about 44 degrees north latitude. But because the shape of the globe, the shortest distance between the two cities does not follow that latitude line. The shortest distance between Bordeaux and Toronto is over the mid point located at 51.6 degrees north latitude, about 8 degrees more to the north of the latitude of Bordeaux and Toronto. If flying from Bordeaux to Toronto follows the line of 44 degrees north latitude, it will always be a constant heading of about 270 degrees. The north pole will always be on the right, and the south pole is always on the left. Earth radius used is 6,378.14 km and it is radius of the earth at the equator. Earth radius number can be adjusted for better accuracy because the earth is not perfectly round. The average value of earth radius is 6371 km. While the Earth's polar radius is 6,356.7523 km. If using Google Maps, then the calculation result can be copied and paste in the Search box on Google Maps, then press the Search button. Google Maps will show the intended point on the map.

Both Gmail, as well as Outlook, have Revolution is the emailing Industries once they were released. Outlook (previously known as Hotmail) was the first free to use emailing service available on the internet whereas Gmail revolutionized the industry by bringing more and better features that had never been seen before. thus both Outlook, as well as Gmail, are well endowed in their own ways. Gmail is known for its amazing user base of over 1 Billion and is ever expanding. The users are well aware of the fact that Gmail has got the best features out there. It works well with Android as well as other platforms. With Gmail what you get is an immense ecosystem which is going to be of great help to all of us. Gmail works well with Android and other apps like youtube Which are owned by Google itself. Outlook is an old platform with latest features but not an ecosystem to actually support it’s worth. Over the years that has lost its potential and it could have done something else if the odds were in favor of Microsoft. The login system was the same as when it was on the Hotmail.co.uk Login dashboard nothing is changed. Just like Google has created the Android ecosystem surrounding in Gmail, Microsoft also tried to do the same using the Windows phones but the case has not been the same in terms of success. In the end, we would like to state the obvious and with just the fact that Google’s Gmail is always going to be better than Outlook In terms of the services that it offers overall but if we are having a look at only the features of the emailing Services then the outlook is much better than Gmail & www.hotmail.co.uk log in .

My operas and my theatre works are very formal pieces. I think music has gone through a period of something very severe, rather radical, rather the way painting did with cubism. In the end it doesn’t matter what you do. The piece that had a large influence on me was Turangalila. The thing about influence is that any composer worth anything will give you the same names. My operas usually come from musical ideas rather than ideas about subject matter. When I dealt with set theory, I could never make it be the music that I wanted. The opera tells the story with all the built-in contradictions and from many different angles. I’m not a music lover in the sense that I look for something to have on. I’ve never had that attitude to music. I don’t have ideas so much as there are things which constantly evolve… there are various threads or layers, if you like, which change. I wrote music as soon as I knew notation. Music is such a problem in the time it takes. People say my music is English. I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s not me writing English music, but that English music is becoming more like me. One thing I’ve tried to do in writing music is take on very basic things, very archetypal things. When I was confronted with official tuition, the academic thing, I could see no relationship whatever between that and the music I’d been writing since I was 11. This sounds horribly pretentious, but I like to think that if music hadn’t existed, I could have invented it. It’s the irrational things that interest me. I’m not an architectural composer. There are rhythmic ideas which sometimes only work up to a point. In writing there are moments when it just comes off the page, it’s not just a collection of notes. I don’t think there is much American music. You either are or you’re not. When I was a kid, I wrote music – from the age of 11 until the age of 18. The theatre only knows what it’s doing next week, not like the opera, where they say: What are we going to do in five years’ time? A completely different attitude. My attitude to writing is like when you do wallpapering, you remember where all the little bits are that don’t meet. And then your friends say: It’s terrific! I think there are influences that you open the door to, and influences that come under the door. Minimalism now is a reaction to what came before. It’s absolutely of its time. Music moved into the set theory thing, and moved out of it.

There’s something downright virtuous in welcoming the Pushcart Prize every year. Hello, you editors, writers, and all concerned, I am with you, voting with my reading time for the independent. Read: the not corporate. Let us perpetuate the spirit of independence by participating! Pushcart calls itself the “best of the small presses.” Small how? In scale of production, perhaps, in how much cash enters and runs the endeavor, but not, clearly, in breadth of mission. The big, the meaningful, the questions humanity must ask can be found here. “Memorial Day,” an essay by Brian Doyle (appearing originally in The Sun), is a banner piece in the volume despite — or perhaps because of — its brevity. It does the job in less than two pages, and how fabulous it would be to quote the whole soulful thing right here and now in its entirety so that even more people would read it, but we are not allowed to do that in reviews. In this clear, gorgeous antiwar piece, Mr. Doyle frames it up through the point of view of the “we” of a family attending a Memorial Day parade at which the father, a veteran, will not march. Mr. Doyle then adroitly, in a brilliant four-sentence transition, narrows within the “we” to the third-person “he” of the father’s sentiment toward war, the sense of “we” hovering as rapt listener. If the first-person plural has a job to do here, it is that of asking: What are the dire, violent wages of indignity? Who pays? Ms. Shekar asks insistently and with precision. Joyce Carol Oates fans will not be disappointed by her contribution (from Conjunctions), “Undocumented Alien.” This short story takes the form of a lab report of the PROJECT JRD Laboratory (Institute for Independent Neurophysiological Research), written by the implied “we” of postdoc staff. A human lab subject is observed under the hideous psychological and physical conditions created for him by unspeakably unethical experimentation. The point of view is excessively objective, lacking in emotional response to the events described. Who do we become as complicit onlookers to the unethical, the inhumane? Mr. Poirier pulls the reader back to observe the “you” yet also nestles the narrative so cozily with the interior of that “you” that the reader is faced with the complex inner workings of self-knowledge, self-control and lack thereof, and direly misplaced self-righteousness. This is stunningly strong stuff. Reread and find yourself deeper in the complexity, not done with it. Good old-fashioned omniscient third-person narration also has its place here. Don’t miss the closely, emotionally observed narration of “Dixon” by Bret Anthony Johnston (from Virginia Quarterly Review). A father’s love for his troubled teenage daughter drives and defines him as he stumbles through the landscape of crisis. Information is slowly meted out; the reader is left to ponder what we really know about parenting, right choices, and which way the wind will blow, ill or otherwise. Finally, the tried-and-true first person is of course not absent from this year’s Pushcart. Of interest are the lead story in the volume, “Catacombs” by Jason Zencka (first appearance in One Story), and “Famous Actor” by Jess Walter (from Tin House). Both are funny, sad, written with stylish wisdom, and involve the disappearance of a teenage sibling, loss being the monolithic cornerstone of character development for each narrator. And if you read this essay, you get to meet Mr. Morton’s girlfriend, Heather, who is outrageous, of steely intelligence, and a person with whom I would like to be friends, sight unseen. With whatever “we” I can collect within or about me, I’ll be looking forward to next year’s Pushcart, again. Independent and small, do not fail us. Evan Harris is author of “The Quit.” She lives in East Hampton. Bill Henderson, the editor of the Pushcart Prize, lives in Springs.

“I’ll hope with you, and keep you in my prayers,” I told her as I signed my receipt. Another customer was coming in as I turned and walked back outside to the beauty of the mountains that towered over the town. I was amazed by what I had heard. Driving back to the main road, I couldn’t help thinking of the parallels between what the woman behind the counter had just shared about her small community and what’s happening on a bigger scale in the world at large. Perhaps more important, I’d experienced firsthand the way in which people often deal with the kind of change that tears at the fabric of their security and their lives. In the case of the mine, it was closed because the world changed. The ore that the livelihoods of those townspeople once depended upon is now being mined in China for a cheaper price. That change is one facet of an even larger shift in the balance of global resources. For the mining community, it’s a shift in favor of another economy located in another country.The point here is that people who are reluctant to release the security of doing what’s familiar to them are missing the opportunity to create even greater security in the new world that’s emerging. We sometimes justify our reluctance to let go of the past through a belief that the changes we see are temporary. In the same way that music-industry executives believed the revolution of rock ’n’ roll was a temporary craze when it first appeared in the 1950s, or the way some technology “experts” believed computers would be a passing fad when they burst onto the scene in the 1960s, when we see so much change on such a large scale happening so quickly, it’s a sure sign that we’ve outgrown the world of the past. And that’s why it’s impossible to return. Our reluctance to accept that the changes exist may even compromise our ability to adapt—we can only cope with changes that we acknowledge. How can we thrive in the new world if we’re focused on waiting for the old world to return? There are layers of change in the emerging world that surrounds us. We no longer live in the isolated countries that formed the foundation of our policies and thinking during the 20th century. We no longer live in nations with isolated economies, isolated technologies, isolated energy grids, and isolated defense and communications systems. These facts have led to the certainty of where we find ourselves right now, in this very moment: we’re living with a new set of rules for our lives, our careers, and the big picture of the world. The way we think about money and financial security now isn’t the same way our parents or their parents thought about money and financial security. The way we thought of careers in the past, in terms of company loyalty and local jobs, is giving way to a less loyal and more global view. The role that religion and spirituality has played in our lives is taking on new meaning as we try to apply 2,500-year-old ideas to 21st-century crises. Our ideas of medicine, disease, and healing are converging into a new, holistic model of wellness for us and our families. The very principles that have helped us feel secure in our communities and homes are changing. Facts like these lead us to one of the most crucial, yet least understood realizations of our era: we’re living a time of many extremes, and they’re all happening at once!

People who actually have it, please: what say you, how do they actually perform? Aquaris E4.5 Ubuntu Edition, v. 5, then MX4 Ubuntu Edition by Meizu etc.? If not: is it really the case that you can install Ubuntu on any Android based smartphone? First of all, this guide is not for beginners. You will need to know how to use the Ubuntu command line, and you will need to be prepared to use beta software that’s neither finished nor guaranteed stable. It is also a bad idea to install Ubuntu Touch on your main device. Only try this if you have a spare smartphone or tablet that you don’t rely on. As with our guide to installing Android L, it’s crucial to know that the process will completely erase your device, removing not only Android but also your apps, photos and all other data. You absolutely must back up everything you want to keep first. Second, this process uses the desktop version of Ubuntu to install the mobile OS on your device, so you’ll need a laptop or PC running Ubuntu. With Ubuntu universe archive enabled, now you can install the ubuntu-device-flash package – the main tool for installing Ubuntu Touch - as follows. Step 2: (you can skip this if you’re already running 14.04 as the tools are already included). You’ll need tools in the Phablet Tools PPA in order to install Ubuntu for devices. These are included in 12.04 Precise onwards. On your PC, press Ctrl+Alt+T to start a terminal. You can type q to exit. You need to enable Android Developer Mode on your device. To do this, head to Settings and tap About phone (or About tablet) then about. Now tap Build number seven times and you will see a pop-up saying you are now a developer. You will now have a new menu in Settings called Developer options. Go in here and tick the box next to USB Debugging. Enabling USB Debugging allows you to send commands to your USB connected device from the terminal. If you haven’t already done so, now is the time to back up your Android apps and data. Also, note down your device type and build ID because you will probably want to reinstall Android later (you’ll have to download the factory image and use the adb and fastboot tools to install it). To install Ubuntu, you need to unlock your device’s bootloader. This process wipes the phone or tablet. You’ll see a warning on screen. To change from no to yes, use the volume rocker, and to select the option, press the power button. You will be taken through the initial setup. Don’t worry about entering much information as you’re about to remove Android completely by installing Ubuntu. Power off your device using the power button. Reboot into the bootloader by using the correct physical button combination for your device For example, the combination for the Nexus 5 is to hold down the volume up, volume down and power buttons simultaneously. The installation should happen automatically with no input from you. It will take a while – the image is initially downloaded to the ~/.cache/ubuntuimages folder on your PC before being transferred to your smartphone or tablet. To begin with, Ubuntu is a ‘recovery’ image which you device will boot from. Then, Ubuntu is installed as an OS in its own right. On the next reboot, you should see Ubuntu running. After installing Ubuntu, you can head to Settings > Updates to get the latest version, and choose whether or not updates are installed automatically.

I came across Allie’s instagram page while browsing around for a good hairstylist in Siesta Key. Her work was amazing and I knew I had to make an appointment with her to keep up with my blonde locks. I walked out of the salon feeling like a million bucks. She did exactly what I was hoping for — and that’s saying a lot because I’m a perfectionist! She’s great with posting her recent work, follow her HERE. Below are some snaps from a recent session I did with her and her husband Kevin. They never had the opportunity to do an engagement session since they eloped so I was so glad document this time in their life. Allie was stunning in a lace coral dress and Kevin complimented her. Lido Beach in Sarasota, Florida was the perfect backdrop for their session. I loved the texture of the tall grass and the sunset couldn’t have been better. I can’t wait to shoot more sessions at Lido in the near future!

Coconut water is described as “a natural isotonic beverage” and “the fluid of life.” Coconut water sales doubled in the U.S. and Europe in 2011. The U.S. market for this product is estimated to be worth USD 110M, and the European market is estimated to be worth USD 65M. Due to increasing demand from consumers for foods and beverages that are as natural as possible, the coconut water craze may become more than just a fad. With functional drinks currently making up 18.9% of the market’s revenue in Japan, and an aging population that expects more functionality from products, AG River International took the opportunity to introduce CocoHydro to the Japanese market and replicate the success of coconut water in other markets. CocoHydro is a powdered coconut water produced in Bali by Big Tree Farms, a niche purveyor of natural foods. CocoHydro is set to enter Japan’s market ahead of the curve by taking advantage of the hype generated in the U.S. by prominent brands like VitaCoco and Zico. Japan has the world’s largest and most dynamic beverage market, which serves an extremely sophisticated consumer base. Eat first established the critical requirements for defining a clear brand proposition tailored for Japan that would position CocoHydro as the preferred alternative to non-powdered coconut water brands. Avoiding clichés and conventions typically associated with coconut products, Eat generated a bold graphic lexicon to ensure shelf standout for the products. Eat applied this new and unique visual identity to a complete range of CocoHydro branded collateral, including packaging, an e-commerce site, exhibition and merchandise displays and trade materials. With this unconventional brand image and plans to introduce a liquid version of the product, CocoHydro is primed to define the coconut water genre in Japan.

To diagnose aortic valve stenosis, your doctor may review your signs and symptoms, discuss your medical history, and conduct a physical examination. Your doctor may listen to your heart with a stethoscope to determine if you have a heart murmur that may indicate an aortic valve condition. A doctor trained in heart disease (cardiologist) may evaluate you. Echocardiogram. This test uses sound waves to produce video images of your heart in motion. During this test, specialists hold a wandlike device (transducer) on your chest. Doctors may use this test to evaluate your heart chambers, the aortic valve and the blood flow through your heart. A doctor generally uses this test to diagnose your condition if he or she suspects you have a heart valve condition. This test can help doctors closely look at the condition of the aortic valve, and the cause and severity of your condition. It can also help doctors determine if you have additional heart valve conditions. Doctors may conduct another type of echocardiogram called a transesophageal echocardiogram to get a closer look at the aortic valve. In this test, a small transducer attached to the end of a tube is inserted down the tube leading from your mouth to your stomach (esophagus). Electrocardiogram (ECG). In this test, wires (electrodes) attached to pads on your skin measure the electrical activity of your heart. An ECG can detect enlarged chambers of your heart, heart disease and abnormal heart rhythms. Chest X-ray. A chest X-ray can help your doctor determine whether your heart is enlarged, which can occur in aortic valve stenosis. It can also show whether you have an enlarged blood vessel (aorta) leading from your heart or any calcium buildup on your aortic valve. A chest X-ray can also help doctors determine the condition of your lungs. Exercise tests or stress tests. Exercise tests help doctors see whether you have signs and symptoms of aortic valve disease during physical activity, and these tests can help determine the severity of your condition. If you are unable to exercise, medications that have similar effects as exercise on your heart may be used. Cardiac computerized tomography (CT) scan. A cardiac CT scan uses a series of X-rays to create detailed images of your heart and heart valves. Doctors may use this test to measure the size of your aorta and look at your aortic valve more closely. Cardiac MRI. A cardiac MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of your heart. This test may be used to determine the severity of your condition and evaluate the size of your aorta. Cardiac catheterization. This test isn't often used to diagnose aortic valve disease, but it may be used if other tests aren't able to diagnose the condition or to determine its severity. In this procedure, your doctor threads a thin tube (catheter) through a blood vessel in your arm or groin and guides it to an artery in your heart. Doctors may inject a dye through the catheter, which helps your arteries become visible on an X-ray (coronary angiogram). This provides your doctor with a detailed picture of your heart arteries and how your heart functions. It can also measure the pressure inside your heart chambers. Treatment for aortic valve stenosis depends on the severity of your condition, whether you're experiencing signs and symptoms, and if your condition is getting worse. If your symptoms are mild or you aren't experiencing symptoms, your doctor may monitor your condition with regular follow-up appointments. Your doctor may recommend you make healthy lifestyle changes and take medications to treat symptoms or reduce the risk of complications. You may eventually need surgery to repair or replace the diseased aortic valve. In some cases, your doctor may recommend surgery even if you aren't experiencing symptoms. If you're having another heart surgery, doctors may perform aortic valve surgery at the same time. Surgery to repair or replace an aortic valve is usually performed through a cut (incision) in the chest. Less invasive approaches may be available, and your doctor will evaluate you to determine if you're a candidate for these procedures. If you have aortic valve stenosis, consider being evaluated and treated at a medical center with a multidisciplinary team of cardiologists and other doctors and medical staff trained and experienced in evaluating and treating heart valve disease. This team can work closely with you to determine the most appropriate treatment for your condition. Surgeons rarely repair an aortic valve to treat aortic valve stenosis, and generally aortic valve stenosis requires aortic valve replacement. To repair an aortic valve, surgeons may separate valve flaps (cusps) that have fused. Doctors may conduct a procedure using a long, thin tube (catheter) to repair a valve with a narrowed opening (aortic valve stenosis). In this procedure, called balloon valvuloplasty, a doctor inserts a catheter with a balloon on the tip into an artery in your arm or groin and guides it to the aortic valve. The doctor performing the procedure then inflates the balloon, which expands the opening of the valve. The balloon is then deflated, and the catheter and balloon are removed. The procedure can treat aortic valve stenosis in infants and children. However, the valve tends to narrow again in adults who've had the procedure, so it's usually only performed in adults who are too ill for surgery or who are waiting for a valve replacement, as they typically need additional procedures to treat the narrowed valve over time. Aortic valve replacement is often needed to treat aortic valve stenosis. In aortic valve replacement, your surgeon removes the damaged valve and replaces it with a mechanical valve or a valve made from cow, pig or human heart tissue (biological tissue valve). Biological tissue valves degenerate over time and may eventually need to be replaced. People with mechanical valves will need to take blood-thinning medications for life to prevent blood clots. Your doctor will discuss with you the benefits and risks of each type of valve and discuss which valve may be appropriate for you. Doctors may perform a less invasive procedure called transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to replace a narrowed aortic valve. TAVR may be an option for people who are considered to be at intermediate or high risk of complications from surgical aortic valve replacement. In TAVR, doctors insert a catheter in your leg or chest and guide it to your heart. A replacement valve is then inserted through the catheter and guided to your heart. A balloon may expand the valve, or some valves can self-expand. When the valve is implanted, doctors remove the catheter from your blood vessel. Doctors may also conduct a catheter procedure to insert a replacement valve into a failing biological tissue valve that is no longer working properly. Other catheter procedures to repair or replace aortic valves continue to be researched. You'll have regular follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor your condition. You'll need to continue taking all your medications as prescribed. Eating a heart-healthy diet. Eat a variety of fruits and vegetables, low-fat or fat-free dairy products, poultry, fish, and whole grains. Avoid saturated and trans fat, and excess salt and sugar. Maintaining a healthy weight. Aim to keep a healthy weight. If you're overweight or obese, your doctor may recommend that you lose weight. Getting regular physical activity. Aim to include about 30 minutes of physical activity, such as brisk walks, into your daily fitness routine. Managing stress. Find ways to help manage your stress, such as through relaxation activities, meditation, physical activity, and spending time with family and friends. Avoiding tobacco. If you smoke, quit. Ask your doctor about resources to help you quit smoking. Joining a support group may be helpful. For women with aortic valve stenosis, it's important to talk with your doctor before you become pregnant. Your doctor can discuss with you which medications you can safely take, and whether you may need a procedure to treat your valve condition prior to pregnancy. You'll likely require close monitoring by your doctor during pregnancy. Doctors may recommend that women with severe valve stenosis avoid pregnancy to avoid the risk of complications. If you think you have aortic valve stenosis, make an appointment to see your doctor. Here's some information to help you prepare for your appointment. Be aware of pre-appointment restrictions. When you make the appointment, ask if there's anything you need to do beforehand. Write down your symptoms, including any that seem unrelated to heart valve disease. Write down key personal information, including a family history of heart disease, and any major stresses or recent life changes. Make a list of all medications, vitamins and supplements you take. Take a family member or friend along, if possible. Someone who accompanies you can help you remember information you receive. Be prepared to discuss your diet and exercise habits. If you don't already eat well and exercise, be ready to talk to your doctor about challenges you might face in getting started. If I need surgery, which surgeon do you recommend for heart valve surgery? Are there brochures or other printed material I can take with me? What websites do you recommend? Don't hesitate to ask other questions you have.

After falling asleep to the sound of the waves, wake up to the beautiful and quiet settings along the north shores of Bali, which makes the journey to get there…..so worth it!!

The infinity seaside swimming pool lays a few steps away from the beach, allowing guests to enjoy the sound of the ocean while bathing. There are plenty of typical ‘bales’ where guests may rest, while gazing at the sea. The well manicured lawn provokes guests to take of their shoes and walk barefooted, so to connect to Mother Earth. The spa is in a beautiful outdoor space, where massages, hair and beauty treatments are provided by well trained therapists, using traditional ingredients. but perhaps above all else, this is an area in which to relax and take in a very slow…traditional pace of life.

I am of the ‘I need eight hours shuteye a night’ tribe. I am awestruck when I read about folk who regularly survive on four hours sleep or less, betwixt dusk and dawn and still manage to fully function as entirely sane human beings. How do they do it? The past few weeks through a combination of getting up earlier some mornings or going to bed later some evenings, my average number of hours sleep per day, has dipped below the magic number eight. I don’t keep a sleep spreadsheet; I just know there is a deficit. To catch up on some of the lost hours I am going to bed early tonight. Usually I have no problem sleeping but when I go to bed early, my brain becomes confused and slumber eludes me. Recently I have discovered how to get to sleep when this happens. Here’s what I do; I breathe in deeply, right into my diaphragm, (to check if you are doing this correctly, put your hand on your tummy and if your tummy rises as you breathe in, you are breathing into your diaphragm) I then exhale slowly. I am usually asleep before I get to twenty breaths. Methinks it’s easier than counting sheep! I am not suggesting it’s a universal cure for insomnia but it works for me. Note; thanks to Geoffrey Healy of Geoffrey Healy Pottery (http://www.healy-pottery.com) who kindly allowed me to take the picture you see above of pottery sheep at his gallery.

Norden Crafts: Linen 101 & Trivia Contest! We are re-introducing a segment of our monthly newsletters that people seemed to really enjoy. It's called LINEN 101, and these posts will have a lesson about linen, and each week there will be a new lesson. Where did it come from and how old is this stuff? * Mummies wrapped in shrouds have been found in Egyptian tombs dating from more than 5,000 years B.C. * Wall drawings dated 2400-2200 B.C. depict the cultivation of flax. * Linen is mentioned in the Bible as a noble and valuable product. * Chackmagne (A.D. 768-814) played a major role in the revival of flax. * It was decreed in 884 A.D that all women including Princesses, should learn the arts of spinning and weaving. * During the 12th century flax cultivation thrived in France and Germany. * Flanders a country existing in areas of France & Belgium became the centre of the flax industry and went through a period od extraordinary prosperity followed by a deep crisis...More on the crisis next time! Be the first to answer the question below correctly and we will send you a FREE Judy's Boo Boo Stick! Judy's Boo Boo Stick is linen and even-weave friendly - By dragging clipped floss out the back of the fabric, the positioning of the fabric threads are not dislodged and the delicate fibers are not frayed. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome sufferers are relieved of the stress of the "pinching" motion of picking threads. The Boo Boo Stick removes stitches faster than pulling with fingers. needles or scissors. There is no damage to the face of the fabric. The alignment of fiber threads are not disturbed. How many items do we carry that have the word "PUMPKIN/PUNKIN/PUMPKINS" in the name of the item? Choose your best guess! Just comment below, and if you are right I will comment back! I'm going to guess B. You win! Wow, that didn't take long! Please send an email to katy@nordencrafts.com with your name, and address - I will send your Boo Boo Stick out to you tomorrow! Congratulations Inspired Stitcher - you were really fast on the draw! I looked to the table next to my chair yesterday - where I thought my BooBoo was and almost panicked! It wasn't in the frog with the scissors... but luckily I had moved it into another resting place. Whew! You will enjoy it, Inspired Stitcher!
