To keep it simple, I've used a range of different Nearfield monitors at different studios, but when I listened through the A77X's it felt like i was inside the music. Such a fantastic quality of sound!
The issue of bullying was the focus of the first drop-in session held by Cambridge’s Youth Support Service today.
Students were able to stop by and talk to the team, as well as watch anti-bullying videos and sign an anti-bullying pledge. There was also a competition for the chance to win a £10 voucher or 50 Vivo points. Staff from the Youth Support Service went through the questions with students in order to get conversations going about some of the issues raised.

Pet owners who feed their cats outside generally have trouble, in the warmer months, with flies getting into they cat's food. This is a guide about keeping flies out of your cat's food.
I have to feed my cat in the garage because of small children around. The cat will only eat wet food. It stinks and draws flies! The cat eats a little bit all day, so it makes it hard to feed her in the house in the morning or at night. How can I keep the flies away? Thanks.
It may take a little while but your cat will eat dry food if you stop feeding her wet food; the cat will start eating the dry food when she's hungry.
it will also be much better for the cat in the short term (no flies eggs in her food) and in the long run too. Cats and dogs that eat only soft wet food end up with terrible dental problems as they age.
My eight year old Rachel eats both wet and dry food and she is like yours and nibbles when she is hungry throughout the day. What I do is give her just half of her wet food in the morning and put the other half, covered, in the fridge for later in the day.
What you can also do is because of needing to feed your baby in the garage is to put up fly strips (they're sticky tape vertical banners) above the cats bowl and that will help immensely :-)
I have over ten cats plus kittens we feed out side, but the flies are so bad they won't eat and are losing weight. I have put fly strips, sprayed apple cider, everything, and gets worse!
The only thing I can think of that is keeping it so bad is that we have raccoons, possums, and armadillo that eat the food. Are dirty raccoons and possums the issue? If so what do I do? I can't handle it much longer!
Vacuum the flies before feeding. This may allow enough time for the cats to eat. Don't leave the food out. Feed only once or twice a day. Clean up any leftover food after each feeding. The cats may also be losing weight from anemia if they have flea infestations.
Try contacting a local spay/neuter group to advise you. The volunteers have a lot of knowledge about caring for cat colonies. They will also have advice about keeping the flies away. Keep up your good work of helping the cats.
I need to leave some dry cat food outside. How can I keep the flies away? I've never had this problem in prior years.
More worrying than flies, leaving opened cat food and such can invite vermin or racoons, so you may want to keep it all sealed in a metal trash can with a rock on top of it so that nothing can upset the lid.
I tried the baggie with water just about 30 minutes ago. I put down my cats fresh food and water then walked across the yard to feed the stray and when I came back about 3 minutes later his bowl was full of flies. And it doesnt really matter if its wet or dry food. I feed my cat both and the flies swarm around both of them equally. If anyone finds a working solution I'd love to hear it.
I have been feeding feral kitties for a while and have had the same problem with flies. Putting the food bowl in front of a blowing fan helps to deter many of the flies.
However, some of the cats were scared of the fan at first. Eventually my kitties got use to the fan and even began lounging around it on very hot days.
Gardeners hear a lot about soil pH. That's because it's incredibly important to your plants' health. The pH of soil affects the ability of plants to take up nutrients in the soil through their roots. If the soil is too acidic or too alkaline (basic) important nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus become less available to your plants.
The pH of a substance, such as soil, is a measure of how acidic or basic it is. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. The halfway point, pH 7, is neutral. A pH value below 7 is acidic; a pH value above 7 is alkaline (basic). Most horticultural plants grow well in a pH range of about 6 to 7.
The pH of your soil determines the availability of nutrients to plant roots. Before a nutrient can be used by plants, it must first be dissolved in soil water. Most plant nutrients dissolve when the soil is slightly acidic. For example, minerals such as zinc, aluminum, copper, iron and manganese dissolve in soil water when the pH is slightly acidic. In small quantities, these minerals are beneficial.
When soil pH becomes too acidic, however, an overabundance of these dissolved minerals can damage, or even kill your plants. Other nutrients, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, also become "locked-up" and less available to the plants.
When soil pH becomes too alkaline (exceeds 7.5), the availability of minerals like iron, manganese, and phosphorus is greatly reduced.
All plants have different preferences when it comes to pH. And while most plants tolerate a fairly wide range of soil pH, there are a few "finicky" plants that prefer a soil pH of 4.5 to 5.5. These "acid-loving" plants include azaleas, rhododendrons, and blueberries.
There are also plants that grow well in more alkaline soil. For example, clematis and delphiniums prefer a soil pH from neutral to slightly alkaline (7.0 to 8.0). None of these plants are really picky, they are just quick to express their need for "locked up" nutrients when the pH of the soil is out of whack.
Soil pH also has an important impact on your lawn. Most turf grasses prefer soils that are slightly acidic with a pH range of 6.0-6.5. When soil pH drops below 5.5 or rises above 8.5, most nutrients (fertilizers) that you apply become less available to turf. Soil pH also affects the activity of beneficial soil microbes, which work to breakdown thatch and toxic compounds like pesticides, and improve the overall health of the root zone.
Does your lawn or garden seem to favor particular types of weeds? Certain weeds can act as indicators of your soil's pH. For example, sorrels, docks, dandelions, and Queen-Anne's lace typically grow in poor, acidic soils. On the alkaline side of the pH scale, mustards and thistles tend to grow in soils with a higher pH. Changing the pH can actually help reduce the incidence of certain types of weeds.
The pH of your soil can be changed by adding amendments to the soil to make it more or less acidic. For example, you can add lime or wood ash to acidic soils to make them more alkaline, and you can add sulfur or peat moss to alkaline soils to make them more acidic. How fast you can correct soil pH depends on the type of amendment you use, and how much you need to alter it.
One way to get around changing the pH of your soil is to simply work with what you have. When choosing landscape plants, take your soil's pH into account. Consider growing "picky" plants in containers or raised beds where you can more easily control pH levels.
To know your soil's pH, you can either send samples of your soil off to a lab (ask your county extension agency for details), or you can buy a home pH test kit. Having your soil tested and evaluated by a laboratory costs about $15-$20.
Depending on how busy the lab is, the results will be returned to you in 2 to 3 weeks along with specific recommendations for any necessary changes. These tests will also determine the soil's nutrient content, composition and other characteristics. Do-it-yourself home pH test kits are less accurate (and less comprehensive), but they can still be useful for providing you with an overall general picture of where your soil lies on the pH scale.
Very good and interesting article. I wonder if this applies to the human body as well, regarding alkalinity and acidity and the minerals not being absorbed as well. I do lots of reading, I will look this up.
Some plants prefer a soil pH on the more acidic end of the spectrum. There are additives that can be used to increase the acidity of your garden soil. This is a guide about making soil acidic for tomato plants.
I live in the north eastern part of Pennsylvania. I am looking for a poster or chart, that shows me the best types of veggies to grow with the recommended pH of the vegetables to hang in the garden shed.
Your local extension office will have that information for you, and it will be geared to your planting zone.
Much like watches, baby kangaroos, and HOT, the best things in life often come in pockets, so when the dude behind Papa Luna's Empanadas spent a stint in Argentina eating food-filled ones, he decided to bring them stateside and open a shop in PB. The counter-ordering spot with a street-side patio slings the super-cheap, super-portable pockets o' goodness fresh and hot, or even take and bake, if for some reason you couldn't do that before you cruised in
Not So Traditional: They're also stuffing more contemporary fare like ahi/ Sriracha cream/ soy glaze/ rice for the Pacific Rim Ahi, and even going so far as to create plays on archetypal meals like the Turkey Dinner (turkey/ stuffing/ cranberry-filled empanada with a side of mashed taters & gravy) and Pork Chops & Apple Sauce, with apple chutney served alongside a pocket filled with pork tenderloin & wild rice, which tends to be a little seedy.
The Sweetest Things: They're even baking hand pies filled with actual pie stuff, like Dulce de Leche, and Apple & Nutella Banana Eclair, plus mixing in more intriguing specialties like one with papaya, strawberry, basil, cream cheese, and mango, who's really just excited to be doing something after SNL.
And since you're going to have one hand free to eat other things, you should also pick up regular/ sweet potato fries or plantain fritters called arañas, all of which they'll be delivering in the near future -- meaning soon they'll do the taking, leaving you free to concentrate on that other thing.
Lorraine and her kids were awesome! She did an excellent job at my 3year olds birthday party. Very impressed with the face paintings and her kids did great creating balloon characters for the other kids that were waiting to get their faces painted and all for a VERY reasonable price. I would highly recommend The Cheek Chick for your special occasion!
TBB has always been a great supporter of our school district. The business has provided balloons for several projects and programs. From special events to tshirts and tokens of appreciation, they are the best. They have also donated to Career Day . The owners are very professional and timely. They are a great asset to the community.
We offer to cater our balloon choices to your theme. We create small balloon sculptures for the guest of honor (must be over the age of 8 due to choking hazards per the CDC). We love making people smile. We enjoy talking to the kids while making their balloon request. We love hearing their stories; for example, one little boy told us he has a purple elephant he rides to school everyday. :D
