IcDrama Not Working? Here is Best Alternative [2021]
If you are the lover of Chines, Korean or Japanese Movies and TV Shows then you surely be using IcDrama. But unfortunately recently we heard the news that IcDrama not working for some reason. That's why I try to figure out of there is any solution available or any best Alternative even what's the reason behind it.
This is the reason why I tried to install this Add-on by myself by unfortunately I was facing failed to install dependency error. The meaning of this error as this Addon is shut down and will no longer work for you or the owner discontinue it by himself.
There could be various reasons behind it that we don't know much about it. However, after this, I received many emails regarding this problem. This is the reason why I am writing this guide as here you will be provided with the best IcDrama alternatives.
Why IcDrama Not Working
1 Why IcDrama Not Working
2 Will We See IcDrama Addon Again
3 Best IcDrama Alternative
3.1 Catch-Up TV & More
3.2 YouKu TV
3.3 Viki
3.4 Netflix
IcDrama was most popular Add-on for providing Korean, Taiwanese, Hong Kong, Japanese Movies & TV Shows. But recently it went down because of providing copyrighted content as the developer doesn't have any rights to provide these videos.
This is the common problem that almost every Add-on has ever faced like in previous years we saw the Exodus and Covenant shut down. But there is still something confusing as after shut down we always hear from the developers itself.
As Gears TV Reloaded IPTV shut down and that's why the developer of this service made a complete video on it. We still have doubts regarding this and to understand it more you just need to read the given below section.
Will We See IcDrama Addon Again
Now as I already told earlier that we haven't received any words from the developer so there could be chances that we see IcDrama again in future. It doesn't mean if the name is same but I am sure we get it back within a few months or maybe years depending on the developers.
The reason why I am sure is that a few years ago we saw the Exodus shut down and after a while, a new Add-on named as Exodus Redux was launched. Similarly, another Add-on called Genesis that was also removed from their website came back with the new name as Genesis Reborn.
This is the common thing that Kodi users face as the developers sometimes stop working on it or the Add-on is removed because of piracy content. Unless we have Kodi I am sure we will see those Add-ons again with the new name and new repository as well.
Best IcDrama Alternative
Since the hub of all Chines, Taiwanese, Japanese, and even Hong Kong Movies or TV Shows, IcDrama not working that's why considering an alternative version will be a good option. In this way, you will be able to watch all your favourite TV Shows or any Movie without interruption.
The Add-ons that I have provided here are working fine and there is no issue with them. But the problem is some of them might not provide all content because of geo-restrictions. That's why make sure to use the best VPN for Kodi so you can unlock that content.
It also helps you to stay hidden because using such Add-ons might get you into a serious problem. Once you purchased the VPN and installed it you can simply follow this article and install these alternative Addon along with Kodi.
Ok, so below is the list of IcDrama that are working even with Kodi 18.9 Leia:
Catch-Up TV & More
Catch-Up TV & more listed top in our today's alternative list as it is available for many years. This Kodi Add-on is basically an IPTV service that means you will get thousands of Chines, Korean, Japanese Channels.
With the help of this Add-on, you will be able to stream live TV channels, and also some Movies and TV Shows. Furthermore, it also has other channels instead of only Chinese and you can simply open it by going to the country.
These channels can be streamed directly on Kodi without any interruption as it has the fastest servers than anyone else. Even though you won't find any dead link here because the developer team used to check for it usually.
YouKu TV
YouKu TV is another best alternative for IcDrama that provides a huge amount of content to the users. Although this Add-on is also the alternative to YouTube and as we already know that YouTube is banned in China.
That's why they created their own video-sharing platform and named is YouKu TV where you will find all sorts of videos.
It provides users with the on-demand-Movies, Videos, TV Shows, News and some other content. However, there is a huge drawback for the dubbed users as this Addon doesn't offer this feature.
When yous stream through YouKu you will be only able to watch content in Chinese language only. In case you are already from china or know the language then you should probably install it.
Viki is another best Add-on where you can stream Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese and other Movies or TV Shows. This service is owned by the famous company named Rakuten which is also the developer of the Viber messenger app for android users.
It is the OTT service where a user can stream Movie or TV Show through the internet instead of using a wired cable connection.
This Add-on is same as the Netflix because of its interface and the content it provides. However, this also requires a paid membership to watch all Movies.
But still, it can be used for free but you may face some Ads or a limited number of TV Shows. It is good to buy their membership because the content it provides is simply awesome and is available in various parts of the world.
No wonder everyone knows the name of the most popular video streaming platform Netflix. This add-on comes with the various sorts of Addons from all over the world. Due to having the international contents, Netflix makes its way to be included in IcDrama alternatives.
Perhaps unlike other alternatives, this service requires to have a paid membership otherwise you cannot use it. However, if you haven't purchased it yet then it is better to use their free 1-month trial.
You will surely find a lot of cool stuff as it has almost all popular titles including Train to Busan, Lucid Dreams, Cities of Last Things, The Wandering Earth, Rampant and so on.
But if you are living in China then you may already know that this service is banned there. This is the reason why you should use the VPN to unlock it's content and stream movies & TV Shows without interruption.
How To Install Netflix On Kodi
IcDrama was the best Add-on for all Kodi users who love to watch Japanese, Korean, Chinese and other Asian content. But as we know that IcDrama shut down because of illegal activity it is hard to believe and people are getting sad over it.
However, in this guide, I have listed some of the best IcDrama alternatives to watch Live TV, Movies, TV Programs, Music and other content free of cost. Every Addon has its own features so make sure to check them before installing it on your device.
Other than this if you seriously love this Addon then I would either recommend you to use their website. It is still live and works great like before. But please keep in mind to always use the VPN to keep yourself secure while surfing these untrusted websites.
In case if you find this article helpful and want to show some love then make sure to share it with others. Also, if you have any question regarding this Addon than don't hesitate to ask in the comment section. I will be glad to hear from you and will love to hear from you.

It is said that language shapes the reality in which we live. What happens if those words we use turn into something completely unrecognizable. Does it mean that our reality becomes unrecognizable?
It's a long video I know, but I have been trying to post something in response to the new wave of hip-hop, labeled "mumble-rap." The emergence of Soundcloud (often these rappers are referred to as 'soundcloud rappers') is attributed to the success of this kind of hip-hop because where else would this type of music survive. This sort of music is beginning to become too popularized to stop, and has basically consumed the hip-hop/rap and re-defined the game. Leaving many in the industry, who take the roots of the music genre seriously, pissed off.
This music is not what hip-hop is. Hip-hop was a musical movement, started by the African American community, that used the platform that music offered to rap about real issues. Real issues that the black community still face to this day, decades after the genre began to sprout as a serious form of music. Now, all you hear rappers "talking" about is girls, drugs, money, and fame.
I see the success of a lot of these rappers, and I think to myself, "sure they sound stupid, but so many of them are successful." And I wont sit here and lie to you, I listen to a lot more of the 'mumble rap' than I care to tell, so is it our fault for liking that trend or the artist's fault for producing?
P.S This post wasn't meant for me to share my opinion, but rather spark cool discussion about this popular form of rap.


You can hide data secretly inside picture files like jpg, png and gif. These files appear totally normal to the naked eye, when you double click on them, they open like the normal picture files would and you can see the pictures, however you can secretly embed other files within one picture file with a technique known as Steganography. There are already ready made tools available for all platforms (Windows, Linux and Macs) that make this possible.
- Now issue this command "copy /B samplepicture.jpg + hiddendata.rar newpicture.jpg"
- To retrieve the hidden data (the rar file), simply rename the extension of the third file that got created as a result of previous step (newpicture.jpg) to rar, hence making it newpicture.rar . Now when you open this with Winrar, Wizip or 7Zip, you would find your picture file and the rar file both in there.
So how is this possible ? The answer is quite simple, the jpg format asks the image program to look at the header, the header dicates the length of data, hence the image program ignores everything beyond the data length specified in the header.
I am getting an error when I try the command on my Windows 7 machine. I believe for certian that I followed it to the letter but the Error says "The system cannot find the file specified." Can you help me?
Did you make sure that the files samplepicture.jpg and hiddendata.rar are located in the C:\temp directory where you are working out from ?
Yes I did, does it matter that the compressed file is in the .zip format instead of the .rar format?


We are continuing our series on Ephesians and now make our way to the concluding verses of Ephesians chapter 1. Building upon the sweeping Trinitarian panorama of redemption he has set forth in verses 3-14, Paul now prays for those who will read this letter, and in doing so, points us to the importance of Jesus Christ's resurrection as the foundation for the Christian life. Jesus not only shed his blood to redeem us from our sins, but his resurrection and ascension are a defining moment of the redemptive drama. All those who read Paul's letter to the Ephesians presently live in that period in redemptive history after Jesus has actually accomplished redemption for all those whom the Father had chosen from eternity past. This is why we speak of particular redemption (or definite atonement). Jesus does not merely make salvation possible for whomever wishes to be saved. Who among Adam's fallen children actually wishes to be saved? Rather, Jesus actually redeems all those given to him by the Father. Jesus' resurrection is the proof that Jesus definitely accomplished our redemption, and as surely as Christ "died for us," it is certain that Jesus was "raised for us," ensuring our own resurrection at the time of the end.
When Paul wrote this letter in the early 60's of the first century, Christianity was spreading rapidly throughout the Roman world. As we read this letter today, people are still coming to faith in Christ. It has been argued by some that the course of history will reach its end when the last elect sinner comes to faith in Jesus and the full number of those chosen by the Father, redeemed by the Son, and called by the Holy Spirit is realized. Now, since we don't know when that will be, we must prepare as though human history will continue to roll along just as it has been doing, long after we are dead and gone.

John Newman Elected 41st Ducks Unlimited President
June 02, 2011 By Ben OBrien
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — June 1, 2011 — Ducks Unlimited welcomed longtime volunteer and Louisiana resident John Newman as its 41st president at DU's national convention in Quebec City, Canada. Newman succeeds John Pope, who now serves as chairman of the board.
"I'm deeply honored to become the next president for the world leader in wetlands conservation," Newman said. "I look forward to furthering DU's mission, ensuring the continent's waterfowling legacy and celebrating Ducks Unlimited's 75th anniversary in 2012."
As president, Newman said he plans to focus on DU's mission of maintaining landscapes capable of sustaining North American waterfowl populations, ensure that waterfowl and sportsmen have a voice in the public policy arena, support youth participation in the waterfowling traditions, and increase the number of waterfowl hunters who support Ducks Unlimited as volunteers and members.
"I want to express my respect and admiration for the traditions and the culture of Ducks Unlimited, to tell you I am optimistic about our current staff and volunteer leadership, and I am enthusiastic and committed to our future success," Newman said. "So let's go to work, have some fun and have a great year."
Newman is chief financial officer and treasurer of LLOG Exploration Company, LLC, in Covington, La. He was formerly tax managing partner of Arthur Andersen in New Orleans. He holds an accounting degree from the University of Mississippi and serves on their accounting school advisory board.
Newman was elected first vice president of DU in May 2009. He served as treasurer from 2005-2009 and as a member of the Development Committee and Finance Committee for more than 20 years.
"John is intelligent and tactical in his thinking. He has served Ducks Unlimited well throughout the years, and I'm sure he will continue to do so during his tenure as president," Dale Hall, DU chief executive officer, said. "He is well qualified to lead DU in these particularly demanding times when conservation is facing unprecedented challenges."
Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved more than 12 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

PART 1 - Draft Upstream Petroleum Resources Development Bill, 2019: the petroleum agency of South Africa
The draft Upstream Petroleum Resources Development Bill, 2019 (the Petroleum Bill) was published on Christmas Eve, calling for written submissions from the public and interested and affected persons. This article is the first in our series of articles on the Petroleum Bill and focuses specifically on the proposed formal recognition of the role of the Petroleum Agency of South Africa (the Petroleum Agency) as the national regulatory authority for the upstream petroleum sector.
The Petroleum Agency is a subsidiary of the Central Energy Fund (CEF), a Schedule 2 state-owned diversified energy company. It is important to understand that the Petroleum Agency is not a new state-owned entity, as it currently performs the functions referred to in Chapter 6 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002 (the MPRDA) as the "designated agency" under section 70 of the MPRDA. The Petroleum Bill formally recognises the Petroleum Agency as a juristic person and provides that every person in the service of the Petroleum Agency, prior to the enactment of the Petroleum Bill, is transferred to the service of the "new" Petroleum Agency. The Petroleum Agency shall be responsible for the promotion and evaluation of petroleum resources, the regulation of exploration and production of petroleum resources, and the custodianship of petroleum geotechnical data.
Much like the functions referred to in Chapter 6 of the MPRDA, the Petroleum Bill empowers the Petroleum Agency to, inter alia, provide technical support to the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy (the Minister), receive and evaluate applications for permits and rights, monitor and enforce compliance with permits and rights, store, interpret and evaluate all geotechnical data, collect the prescribed fees in respect of those permits and rights and perform any other function in respect of petroleum resources, which the Minister may determine from time to time.
Significantly, the Petroleum Bill does not appear to address the recent challenges on the Petroleum Agency's decision-making ability and whether or not, for example, the acceptance of an application for an exploration rights amount to administrative decisions subject to review under the Promotion of Administrative Justice Act 3 of 2000. In Rhino Oil and Gas Exploration SA (Pty) Limited v Normandien Farms (Pty) Limited and Another (100/2018) [2019] ZASCA 88; 2019 (6) SA 400 (SCA), the Supreme Court of Appeal stated that certain provisions of the MPRDA, which are mirrored in the Petroleum Bill, are prescriptive in nature and do not involve any decision-making on the part of the Petroleum Agency and therefore do not constitute administrative decisions by the Petroleum Agency, but are subject to a common law review. This matter is currently before the Constitutional Court.
Newly introduced by the Petroleum Bill are the provisions which state that the Petroleum Agency will be funded by moneys appropriated by Parliament, moneys received by way of State grants or investment, fees payable in terms of the Petroleum Bill and revenue received from the sale of petroleum geotechnical data. The Petroleum Bill also allows the Petroleum Agency, with the approval of the Minister, to provide technical and consulting services and assistance to equivalent agencies of other countries.
Similar to the way the internal workings of the South African Revenue Service and CEF are provided for in the Tax Administration Act, 2011, and the Central Energy Fund Act, 1977, respectively, the Petroleum Bill also proposes to govern the internal workings of the Petroleum Agency, including, inter alia, the composition and functions of the board and chief executive officer of the Petroleum Agency, the meetings of the board and committees which may be established by the board, as well as the remuneration of the chief executive officer and the members of the board and committees.
Operation Phakisa, launched by the government some six years ago, found that the primary obstacle to unlocking the economic potential of South Africa's waters was a lack of legislative certainty. The proposed recognition of the Petroleum Agency is thus a long-overdue and positive step towards providing regulatory certainty and a greater degree of transparency, at a time when South Africa desperately needs to attract foreign investment.
In our next article in the series, we will be unpacking chapter 4 of the Petroleum Bill which deals with the new application processes introduced the Petroleum Bill, which includes bidding invitations by the Minister and consultation with interested and affected parties.

Islamic State takes Iraqi Christian town
Thousands forced to flee towards Kurdistan as Sunni fighters take over country's largest Christian town, Qaraqosh.
07 Aug 2014 11:52 GMT
Sunni fighters moved in as Kurdish peshmerga troops withdrew [Reuters]
Fighters have taken over Iraq's largest Christian town Qaraqosh and surrounding areas and sent tens of thousands of panicked residents fleeing towards autonomous Kurdistan, officials and witnesses have said.
The Islamic State group moved in overnight after the withdrawal of Kurdish peshmerga troops, who are stretched thin across several fronts in Iraq, residents said.
Qaraqosh is an entirely Christian town which lies between Mosul, the Islamic State group's main hub in Iraq, and Erbil, the Kurdish region's capital. It usually has a population of around 50,000.
The Islamic State, which has declared a caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria it controls, clashed with Kurdish forces on Wednesday in the town of Makhmour near Erbil. An Al Jazeera source however said peshmerga forces remained in control of Makhmour.
'Catastrophe'
In the latest advance, fighters seized the mainly Christian town of Tilkaif, as well as al-Kwair, witnesses said.
"It's a catastrophe, a tragic situation. We call on the UN Security Council to immediately intervene. Tens of thousands of terrified people are being displaced as we speak, it cannot be described," Joseph Thomas, the Chaldean archbishop of Kirkuk and Sulaimaniyah, told the AFP news agency.
Inside Story: Who can stop the Islamic State advance?
Tilkaif, the home of a significant Christian community as well as members of the Shabak Shia minority, also emptied overnight.
"Tilkaif is now in the hands of the Islamic State. They faced no resistance and rolled in just after midnight," said Boutros Sargon, a resident who fled the town.
"I heard some gunshots last night and when I looked outside, I saw a military convoy from the Islamic State. They were shouting 'Allahu Akbar' [God is greatest]," he said.
In July, hundreds of families left Mosul in northern Iraq after the Islamic State issued an ultimatum to Christians to either convert or face death.
On Thursday, Pope Francis issued an "urgent appeal" to the international community to help end the crisis forcing residents to flee Iraq. He called on the international community "to take action to end the humanitarian tragedy now underway".

Q: Why is Baire space itself of 2nd category? The definition of a Baire space is if given a countable collection of closed sets $\{ A_n \}_{n = 1} ^\infty$ with empty interiors, then $\bigcup_{n = 1} ^\infty A_n$ has an empty interior. A set of 2nd category is any set that is not of 1st category. The definition of being in the 1st category is if $X$ is a countable union of closed nowhere dense sets.
It is said that any non-empty Baire space itself is of the 2nd category. However, it is not entirely clear to me why this is true. Does this come directly from the definition?

A: Yes, straight from that. Suppose $X$ were first category, $X = \bigcup_{n \in \Bbb N} F_n$ where all $F_n$ are nowhere dense.
Then all $\overline{F_n}$ are closed sets with empty interior (by the definition of being nowhere dense) and obviously still $X = \bigcup_{n \in \Bbb N} \overline{F_n}$. But that then contradicts the Baire property of $X$ as $\text{int}(X)=X \neq \emptyset$. So $X$ is second category.

Machine learning gives computers the ability to program themselves without explicitly asking command for each and every task given to it. Machine learning develops programs that help the computer to access data, learn it and compute the tasks given accordingly. This helps computers to execute tasks automatically without human intervention.
Supervised algorithms require human intervention to provide an input and output whereas unsupervised algorithms do not require humans to provide an input and an output to the machine. This is an iterative approach called Deep Learning that helps the machine to read data and arrive at conclusions all by itself.
Machine learning helps you in completing complex tasks that cannot be done easily by humans.
Voice feature in your smartphones that recognises your speech and talks to you.
Machine Learning can identify sentiment analysis with 83% accuracy on twitter feeds.
This knowledge in the hands of a marketer — priceless !!
A classic often discussed example of Machine learning is, The Bayesian spam filter developed by computer Scientist and famed Startup Investor Paul Graham. It used ML to identify spam based on certain keywords.
Coming to artificial intelligence, it is an umbrella term of machine learning. While artificial intelligence constructs machines that have cognitive power, machine learning constructs algorithms that mines data from a data set and learns from it and reasons according to it.
Machine learning factors into the development of AI, as it is an application of AI, which provides the intelligence and learning to the systems. Though machine learning counts as AI, all AI does not count as machine learning as it is far more vast than what machine learning does. AI mimics human intelligence which includes complex features like visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.
Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence have catalysed the pace of innovation in various fields with heavy data processing and heavy customer interaction. This was made possible with Chatbots for customer service, personalised communication, automatically generated replies for emails and much more.
The tool we developed, Alore CRM, also harnesses the power of AI . feel free to sign up for a free trial for educational purposes to tinker around and see how AI is helping revolutionise sales productivity and the difference it makes.
It detects and diagnoses diseases in healthcare.
AI is also used in the Pharmaceutical Industry to screen drug compounds as well as to determine what drugs work better for individuals based on their Biology.
Machine learning involves applying certain logic and deriving results accordingly. It does not bother about the machine thinking intelligently, whereas, artificial intelligence needs the machine to think intelligently and derive solutions.
Machine learning and artificial Intelligence will together provide a massive thrust to businesses. The game has begun but we are yet to exploit the potential these technologies hold. Most companies are yet to adopt AI and ML into everyday business decisions and unless they do so, we're not really doing much to step into the future.

I came across this testimonial letter written to Mark Sisson on his Daily Apple Blog. The writer made great strides in obtaining vibrant health by changing her lifestyle. She did so well that she quit all her meds and had her blood work done again to reconfirm that her body had healed naturally.
What did her doctor say? The doctor felt she should continue with her meds anyway. ANYWAY????? And to a low fat diet.
There are doctors who give up their old-school and misguided teachings, but you have to seek them out.
If you are eating junk food all day long, fruit is certainly a better choice. When it comes to weight loss, we need to really understand that fruit does have its limitations.
Dr. Mercola did a great job with his latest article and I included it in my Myth of the Month series.
What's the Doc Reading: Walnuts are Drugs?
I didn't say that. The FDA said it. In fact, if you really dissect what the FDA has been doing, you will never trust that this agency has any common sense or good will toward the public. In fact, I wish we could lobby to put the FDA out of business.
Scientific papers have been coming out for years showing how the phytochemicals that form naturally in the growing walnut are very good for heart function by improving the function of the arterial wall and impacting the process that synthesizes LDL cholesterol.
If a company that sells walnuts puts this information on its label or website, the FDA accuses the company of selling illegal drugs that have not been approved for such use.
Now, potato chips processors are allowed to say their product is heart healthy because it is made in a certain oil. Are you kidding me? Frying in high temperatures is in fact very unhealthy!! Where do they get their logic?
The FDA and the FTC doesn't want the consumer to be privy to scientific information? They don't want companies educating their customers. Chiropractors know this too well in the case of Dr. Tedd Koren who was told he couldn't publish pamphlets that were critical of vaccines. He fought for his right to teach his patients how the nervous system worked!!!! Luckily, he won, but it took him years, a lot of money, and without the support of most of the chiropractic profession.
In my book, It Takes Courage to Be Healthy: Living Boldly in a World of Health Lies, this is just what I am talking about.
I ask the health seeker to really be a seeker and discern what is truthful and what is a dangerous lie. Government agencies that we as constituents didn't vote for are put in place to take away our freedom to learn!
This is what I am reading!

.. _installation-preinstall:

Installation requirements
=========================

Zotonic runs on Linux, Mac OS X and (not officially) on Windows.

Before running Zotonic, you must make sure your system meets the
minimum requirements to do so. Zotonic needs the following software
installed:

1. **R15B03** or newer. Build it from source, or use
   packages.

2. **ImageMagick** (version 6.5 or higher) for the ``convert`` and
   ``identify`` tools.  Make sure that the convert and identify tools
   are in your path so that zotonic can find them. For auto-rotation
   to work you'll need the ``exif`` utility as well.

3. **PostgreSQL** version 8.4 or higher. Enable trust-authentication
   (username+password) in Postgres (see below).

4. **make** A recent version of the GNU ``make`` utility.

5. **git** Zotonic comes with a few subprojects which are pulled from
   the web with the ``git`` command.

If you meet these requirements, head straight on to :ref:`installation-install`,
otherwise, read on below for the specifics on these.

Erlang
------

You can check if you have Erlang installed by typing the following
command in a terminal::

  $ erl

The output should be something like::

  Erlang R16B03 (erts-5.9.2) [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]
  Eshell V5.9.2  (abort with ^G)
  1>

(Press ctrl+c twice to exit)

If your version is below release **R15B03**, you need to upgrade. If
you don't have Erlang installed, we recommend downloading a build for
your operating system from the Erlang Solutions website:

https://www.erlang-solutions.com/downloads/download-erlang-otp

ImageMagick
-----------

You can check if you have ImageMagick installed by typing the following
command in a terminal::

  $ convert -version

This tells you which version of ImageMagick is installed::

  Version: ImageMagick 6.7.7-10 2012-08-17 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org

PostgreSQL
----------

You can check if you have PostgreSQL installed by typing the following
command in a terminal::

  $ psql -V

Returns the PostgreSQL version::

  psql (PostgreSQL) 9.1.6

.. _psql-trust-authentication:

Enabling trust-authentication in PostgreSQL
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To let Postgres users access the database from Zotonic, you need to
make a configuration change in Postgres' configuration file ``pg_hba.conf``.

On Linux, this file is located in ``/etc/postgresql/<pg
version>/main/pg_hba.conf``. Add the following lines::

  # Zotonic settings
  local   all         zotonic                           ident
  host    all         zotonic     127.0.0.1/32          md5
  host    all         zotonic     ::1/128               md5

These settings assume that your Zotonic sites are going to connect
with a Postgres user called ``zotonic``. For other user names, adjust
accordingly. Do not forget to restart Postgres after you've made this
change.

Platform-specific notes
-----------------------

Ubuntu / Debian
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We recommend you install Erlang from the Erlang solutions website:

https://www.erlang-solutions.com/downloads/download-erlang-otp

The other requirements are easily fetched with ``apt``::

  sudo apt-get install build-essential postgresql imagemagick git

FreeBSD
^^^^^^^

If you're running on FreeBSD, make sure you've got the 'GNU' 'make'
(check with ``make --version``, which should give you GNU, and version
info). If you don't have GNU make, Zotonic will give an error when
trying to compile.

Mac OS X
^^^^^^^^

With Homebrew you can install Erlang and ImageMagick using the
following commands::

  brew install erlang
  brew install imagemagick

Alternatively, with MacPorts::

  sudo port install erlang +ssl
  sudo port install ImageMagick

For PostgreSQL choose either:

* `EnterpriseDB <http://www.enterprisedb.com/products/pgdownload.do#osx>`_
* `Postgress.app <http://postgresapp.com/>`_

Windows
^^^^^^^

Currently, Zotonic is not officially supported on the Windows
platform. However, the main dependencies Erlang, PostgreSQL and
ImageMagick do work on Windows, so, if you're adventurous, it should
be possible to get it running.

We have included user-contributed ``start.cmd`` and ``build.cmd``
batch-scripts which used to work on Windows, but have not been kept
up-to-date with recent changes. Expect some major tweaking to get this
back on track.

Sometimes used with gems, a rock tumbler can also be used as a coin tumbler. Tumbling is a technique for smoothing and polishing a rough surface. Realistically speaking, a tumbler should mostly – if not only – be used on clad coins. It is a mechanical cleaning process. You will need to either buy or build your own tumbling system as well as a specific mix that has to be added to the process.
Daisey BB'S, Borax, fish rocks & about 1/2 cup water.
60% lemon juice and 40% vinegar. Some go as high as 90% lemon juice + aquarium gravel.
Same recipe as above but reversed proportions: 40% lemon juice and 60% vinegar.
CLR, Vinegar, Salt, dish soap, and water and aquarium gravel.
Vinegar, coarse salt and aquarium gravel.
Salt, vinegar, aquarium rocks, and a few larger rocks.
wood chips or sawdust, a squirt of liquid dishwashing detergent, a couple tablespoons of vinegar and some fine polishing grit.
Some use walnut shells instead of gravel or rocks, when cleaning brass.
Try to clean up to 30-40 coins at a time. The maximum load should not exceed half of your barrel.
Now that part is crucial! You may put together dimes, nickels and quarters. Don't mix them with cents! Those will actually bleed on the other coins and give them a brownish/reddish look! If you separate your items, you will be successful and your coins will be shiny as new.
Please consider using a tumbler when it comes to cleaning clad. Banks will not accept dirty coins and this cleaning process is rather easy. Please do not put your dirty coins in a cash machine.
Below are some pictures of my first experiment (and I made several rookie mistakes!) As you can see, mostly clad quarters, dimes and nickels.
I went with the recipe #2. As I did not have any aquarium gravel or rocks or even walnut shells, I just went with lemon juice and vinegar. (about 60% – 40%). I placed the coins in the barrel and prepared the mix separately.
I then poured the mix into the barrel and just covered the coins with it. Try to limit yourself to a half container.
Reassembled the barrel and let it run. For my very first batch, I waited 2 hours, checked in and the coins were already good looking. They did look a little brown though. I then had the tumbler run for an extra 2 hours.
Below are the results. As you can see, even with my rookie mistakes (not using aquarium gravel, going with a rather long session, and putting way too many coins in the tumbler), the result is clearly satisfying! I did get an answer about that brownish color… I told you not to mix clad and cents, remember? Well… I did find the culprit… There was ONE cent in the mix! Be extra careful when picking your coins. DO NOT MIX CLAD AND CENTS! Overall, I would certainly recommend using a tumbler to clean clad and even cents.


I recently created a module to teach programming with Java to beginners on Learneroo. Why might Java be worth learning? I summarize some reasons in the first Java node. There's another point worth emphasizing, which is the Job Market. A while ago I searched various Job sites for the number of jobs available for each programming language, and Java came out on top of the big sites.
Below are the results from Monster.com for jobs that tagged specific languages as skills. For more information, I created a Google Spreadsheet with job data from different websites.

Salmon (or available fish)as much as you can get!
Build a fire, clean the fish and cut it in half or cut into meal size chunks.
Place the fish on a stick into the ground very close to the hot coals. Turn the fish as the bottom will cook quickly and don\'t underestimate the speed with which fish cooks on a stick.
This is a great campfire meal...fresh caught fish and your own embelishments.
Note: his is the best way to eat fish....beats frying, baking, boiling, bar b que. All the fat oil drips out and the fish is flaky and delicious. Serve with salad, baked potato, fry bread and huckleberry jam, other veggies. Home made bread goes good with this, too.

Title: Role of natural organic matter in binding uranium and incorporating radiocarbon in soils and sediments
Author: Muir, Michael Robert
Full text unavailable from EThOS. Please try the link below.
The impact of long-lived radionuclides on human health depends on their behaviour in near-surface soils and sediments and the LORISE project aims to define the key controlling physical, chemical and biological processes at a number of 'natural laboratories' around the UK. Within this PhD project, the role of natural organic matter (NOM) is of especial importance because NOM can potentially facilitate the transport or attenuation of radiologically significant elements such as U and radiocarbon (14C). Peaty soils in the vicinity of natural uranium mineralisations are often highly enriched in U with concentrations of up to 3000 mg kg-1, 4000 mg kg-1 and 2500 mg kg-1 having been found in the US (Owen and Otten, 1995), Switzerland (Regenspurg et al., 2010), and the UK (Xu, 2013), respectively. The NOM within these soils has been implicated in U retention but the controlling processes and the nature of interactions are poorly characterised. The Needle's Eye natural mineralisation, SW Scotland, provides a rare opportunity within the UK to investigate long-term U-NOM interactions. Similarly, the well characterised inputs of radiocarbon into the Irish Sea from the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing facility since the mid-1960s present an opportunity to investigate the transfer of anthropogenic 14C between environmental pools and trace its incorporation into coastal sediments. While the enrichment of sediment organic matter with anthropogenic 14C has been identified, (MacKenzie et al., 2004), the chemical and physical characteristics of NOM enriched with 14C have not been investigated. Currently, there is not a good understanding of which NOM components govern U binding or incorporate 14C, and therefore the implications of the influence of NOM on radionuclide mobilisation or immobilisation are hard to assess. In this study, the characteristics of organic matter from the Needle's Eye natural analogue site have been examined and the relationship with the geochemical properties of the site and U binding have been investigated. Further to this, NOM extracted from the Needle's Eye peat bog and from sediments of the Solway coast at the Southwick Merse has been fractionated and characterised using a range of spectroscopic techniques to identify the components of NOM which are responsible for binding U and those which incorporate anthropogenic 14C. The investigation of the properties of NOM at the Needle's Eye natural analogue site showed a high degree of spatial heterogeneity over a relatively small area, with variation in NOM characteristics seen between samples collected from different zones of the site, particularly evident in the transition from the highly organic, reducing peat bog to the inner saltmarsh. This was signified by an increase in aromaticity and humic character due to the change in vegetation from deciduous tree cover to dense saltmarsh grasses. NOM analysed in depth profiles from the highly organic, U-rich bog showed characteristics consistent with ageing and microbially driven humification processes, with an increase in humic acid content, decrease in oxygen containing functional groups and increased aromaticity with depth. The analysis of U and other elements in the same samples showed that while the character of NOM is not the dominant factor in U accumulation, the characteristics of the NOM in the U-enriched zone, particularly the high amounts of aliphatic and oxygen containing NOM, are ideal for U binding. Analysis of Fe(II) and Fe(III) in porewaters suggest highly dynamic redox properties in the zone of U accumulation, first seen by Xu, (2013) and confirmed by this study. The variability in redox conditions is likely to lead to Fe-humic colloid precipitation and co-precipitation of U, acting as a mechanism of U removal to the solid phase. Analysis of samples from the Needle's Eye bog by x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) confirmed, for the first time at this site, that the U was present in the U(VI) oxidation state and was directly bound to the oxygen functional groups of organic matter. The application of multiple NOM fractionation and characterisation techniques has made it possible to draw robust conclusions about the properties of NOM samples. The results showed the differences in NOM qualities between physically and chemically separated samples and samples of different origin. Analysis of U in characterised NOM samples showed that it was preferentially bound in the large size fraction, which had more humic and aliphatic character, while smaller size fractions of more fulvic and aromatic character had a lesser association with U. These results showed that the type of NOM with U associated had relatively lower mobility and can therefore effectively retard U mobility for as long as the geochemical conditions remain favourable. Changes in pH or redox conditions could increase the mobility of NOM associated U. Characterisation of NOM from the Southwick Merse salt marsh sediment using spectroscopic techniques and δ13C analysis showed variation with depth due to the origin of NOM, with a greater proportion of marine NOM at depth which decreased towards the surface due to terrigenous inputs. NOM in the depth profile and in separated size fractions showed the increasingly aromatic character of terrigenous NOM compared to that of marine origin. 14C analysis of extracted NOM showed 14C concentrations enriched above background levels due to the anthropogenic inputs from Sellafield reprocessing facility. Analysis of extracted and fractionated NOM showed that the 0.1 M NaOH extractable NOM had increased 14C activity compared to the non-extractable sediment organic matter. Analysis of NOM separated into size fraction showed that the NOM which was more enriched in 14C was found in the larger size fraction, and was characterised by a more aliphatic character. The results of δ13C analysis showed that this fraction, relatively enriched in 14C, is of marine origin.

A decent enough boxing sim focusing on legends of the middleweight class - all but a few of who will be unfamiliar to most people.
Good graphics and gameplay, adequate sound. Superior to Foreman for Real in one or two aspects, but not all.


A bright, early spring day in 2017, and St Peter is dramatic on its hilltop site. Norfolk is nowhere near as flat as Sir Noel Coward liked to make out, but it has few dramatic vistas. One of the grandest is the sight of Corpusty and Saxthorpe as you come over the hill along the Norwich to Holt road. The valley drops away below you, the villages scattered down the opposing slopes. At the highest point is the church of St Peter, Corpusty.
This must be an ancient place, and the tower of St Peter is a landmark for miles around. But it was almost lost to us, for this church was abandoned half a century ago, and lay derelict for decades after.
It has not been without its friends. In 1974, local resident Roger Last wrote a letter to the Eastern Daily Press expressing his concern about the state of the church and its descent into vulnerability and vandalism. It so happened that a few miles away at Holt Rectory someone else was girding her loins for the battle to save churches. Lady Billa Harrod, who had seen off the Brooke Report which advocated the demolition of redundant churches, contacted Roger, and their meeting led to the formation of the Committee for Country Churches, which developed into the Norfolk Churches Trust. The BBC came and filmed Roger showing Sir Roy and Lady Harrod around Corpusty. You can see some lovely archive photographs of this event at the bottom of the page.
Matthew Saunders of the Friends of Friendless Churches tells me that they bought the church when it was in danger of demolition, and have spent £70,000 on repairing the tower. When I first came here in the early years of the 21st Century there was no access at all to the graveyard; it was completely overgrown. Coming back five years later I found that the overgrowth had been cut back, and a path made up to the south porch. This porch was now secure, and the tower has been almost completely restored, with the bell windows secured and the keys of St Peter placed in a prominent position. Best of all, the roof was sound, covered with striking red pantiles.
The nave and chancel, however, had a long way to go. Corrugated iron sheets filled the windows, nettles and bracken to a height of six feet surrounded the church. A tree grew out of the east window. I made a difficult circumnavigation, and was probably the first person that year to do so. In 2005, the church was considered sound enough to be the chosen location for the annual service of the Friends of Friendless Churches.
In 2017, it is striking that St Peter looks like a proper church again. The churchyard is trimmed, the windows are full of glass, there is a sense of love about it. It is still kept locked, and the keyholder is a way off in Norwich, but a peek through the windows showed that there was still much to do inside, the walls still unrepaired from the years of vandalism, neglect and arson. So, there is still work to do, but people care about this poor little church which was nearly lost to us. And failing a view of the inside of the church, head to the east end of the church and look out over Saxthorpe below. On a sunny day it will take your breath away.


Faced with the growing success of the e-cigarette, the tobacco industry is positioning itself. With IQOS, Glo, Ploom, etc. tobacco companies have found ways to sell both tobacco and electronic devices. But what about health? The program "36.9 °" of the Swiss channel RTS has investigated the subject to learn more about the vape, the heated tobacco and the intentions of tobacco companies.
What is heated tobacco? Can we compare it to vaping? Is it less toxic to health than a normal cigarette? Does it also contain carcinogens? Element of answer with this report of the show « 36.9° »of the Swiss channel RTS by Isabelle Moncada and Jochen Bechler.
"Even if it is still a minority, the e-cigarette walks on the feet of tobacco companies. His interest is to dispense nicotine without carcinogens, because it is the burning of tobacco that kills, not nicotine. As it borrows its codes and nibbles its market share, the tobacco empire counterattacks: in 2015, Philipp Morris launches a new concept, heated tobacco. He baptizes it IQOS which means "I quit ordinary smoking, I stop the ordinary smoke". This special cigarette is pushed against a miniaturized resistance that will heat the tobacco. At British American Tobacco the device was named GLO and that of Japan Tobacco PLOOMtech. It looks like vapers, but they are not vapers ... "

Boffins claim Voyager has already left the Solar System
There's a boffin battle brewing at the fringe of the Solar System. At issue is whether the venerable Voyager 1 spacecraft has left the region where Sol's electromagnetic winds blow, or is still in the tiny pocket of space we call home.

It kind of makes sense
Put two magnets near each other, and their fields line up, reorienting the magnets positions.
Kind of makes sense that eventually a star would orient its field to the galactic one.
After all, isn't the galactic field just the sum of all the fields of the stars, neutron stars, magnetars, quasars, what-have-you, anyway? And all those fields'll be seeking equilibrium.

So Voyager 1 and 2 will constitute the *only* datasets for this problem
Up till now it's all been models.
I'm not sure how well they work at what I presume are very low and very large interacting magnetic fields.
Thumbs up for explaining how some of the signs of leaving the solar system could be detected and not others.
As a physicist observed about another debate "We are in a state of such confusion we will definitely learn something"
Friday 16th August 2013 09:38 GMT MrT
Pioneer probes also provided some earlier data...
... McKibben at al noted that the boundary layer pulses in response to the solar minimum/maximum by as much as 150AU, (paper here). Also, we're observing that the sun is about to go through a magnetic inversion. The heliopause might catch up and pass Voyager again.
The press reporting seems to expect something definitive, like a 'wall' in space, but that's a silly analogy - it's more like a sponge that soaks and dries out, with occasional big squeezes when it all lines up together. Voyager is just taking another wash on the edge of the solar system basin... nothing like a wall.

Believe it or not, if it took gravity any time to reach us, the earth would be orbiting where the sun WAS when the gravity left the sun. Regardless of the time involved, the result would be an unsustainable orbit. We would spiral into the sun or off into space. Every appropriate experiment shows that earth's orbit is around where the sun really is. So you have a choice, either gravity is instantaneous, or gravity as a 'thing' doesn't exist, but is actually a curvature of space caused by mass -as postulated by Einstein. Or maybe something even stranger...

Re: So Voyager 1 and 2 will constitute the *only* datasets for this problem
Very likely there will be no sharp transition to be found, much like the 'transition' from Earth's atmosphere to outer space. Last I had heard, space begins at 100km altitude, because it is a nice round number, but atmosphere is still detectable beyond that point.
We may simply define interstellar space as beginning at some distance agreed upon, again much like "wogs begin at Calais".

I agree. There will always be debate, even if there is a consensus definition, about where the edge of the solar system is. It will always be an arbitrarily defined sphere simply because it's not a "wall". The location of where the solar wind balances out against incoming "galactic wind" is sure to vary over time so the definition of the edge of the solar system is, by definition, a variable within limits.
Who's to say that the consensus won't evolve to be the out reaches of Plutos orbit? Or some other arbitrary factor.
I'm starting to get flashbacks to 'A Fire Upon the Deep' here.
"Very likely there will be no sharp transition to be found, much like the 'transition' from Earth's atmosphere to outer space..."
Good point. This is why many cite the altitude record-setting X15 flights as "space" flights as they reached or exceeded 100km:
http://www.astronautix.com/flights/x15ght91.htm
"...Unofficial world altitude record. Maximum Speed - 6105 kph. Maximum Altitude - 107960 m. Second X-15 astronaut flight (FAI definition); fifth astronaut wings flight (USAF definition)..."

They expect a customs barrier?
They make it sound like they're expecting the craft to come across a big fence with a border crossing checkpoint on it, with a little green man in a flying saucer waiting to check its passport. Plus probably a big sign saying "the Universe welcomes careful fliers" or something.

It almost sounds like they're expecting a demarcation point as accurately defined as the US Canada border, even in the wilderness.

Clearly we need more research. Let's build some more Voyagers.
"Clearly we need more research. Let's build some more Voyagers."
One of the NIAC presentations to NASA was an investigation into (IIRC) using solar sails for this and with a Voyager sized payload they reckoned they could get from Earth to where Voyager is in about 10 years, not 35 to 40 years.
IIf you did that a Voyager 2.0 mission could do this one of 2 ways. 1)Same instrument suite but implemented with modern technology, giving the same capability at much smaller size (handy as there are no more Titans available, although a Delta IV Heavy would probably as well, and a F9H definitely would help). JPL has been busy in 4 decades gradually whittled the weight down quite a bit.
Or keep them and add a bunch more.
I'll take a wild stab here and say they won't be staying with the the nibble serial 16 bit CMOS processor (1 4 bit ALU chip with lots of registers clocked at 4KHz. No that 's not a typo) architecture.

Re: "Clearly we need more research. Let's build some more Voyagers."
I think I can see an issue with using solar sails: beyond the heliopause they become interstellar-medium sails and the probe gets blown back again. Or way off course. Or somewhere.

Rev it up! Lets not bothering to take too many pics on the way out. Perhaps perpendicular to the eclipse this time? Can you imagine a true top down view of the solar system?
Friday 16th August 2013 10:13 GMT Pascal Monett
Quiet ! Science is progressing.
Concerning the heliosphere, we know nothing, for the time being we only have educated guesses.
Now we are learning about it while going through it - it is going to take some time and there will be heated debate before a consensus is reached. So let us just note that new theories about the heliosphere are forming, which is a good thing, and monitor scientific progress for the next five years without worrying too much about it.
In the next decade, scientists will have worked it out. In the meantime, it's just too soon to comment.

True enough. What the scientific argument is about is if the probes have left the magnetic bubble created by Sol.
As for Pluto, doesn't matter where I observe it, even if it were under foot. This American firmly believes that it is simply a smallish chunk of rubble that isn't on anything resembling a planetary orbit that corresponds with the planets of this solar system.
It's only rubble left behind from the old mass relay. ;)

That means that Sedna is not a part of our solar system?
Voyager 1 is about 125 AU from the sun.
Sednas aphelium is about 1009 AU from the sun.
Many of our comets aphelium is 10000 AU to 20000 AU from the sun
Oorts cloud is reaches about 50000 AU or one light year from the sun
Just because protons can not leave the sun's gravitational field does not mean that the solar system ends.
It just means that the sun's gravitational field really reach out there and even longer.
Wake me when Voyager 1 actually leaves the solar system.
It ought to be about year 16,013 after Christ
What we absolutely know for certain is that Voyager is most definitely outside of the solar system. Unless it's still inside of the solar system.
The only way we'll be certain is with a shitload more measurements over the course of months to years, possibly even a decade.
But, for each inch the probes move outward, we forge new scientific measurements and new firsts.
Oh, great. Yet another porous border for illegal aliens to gain entry...

Music and its beats have set the young ones, teenagers, and everyone to dance on the rocking floor. Well everyone is fond of music and hence wants to have the best music player or so for himself/herself. Everyone was in search of a music player that had the unique and most advanced features with the cutest of all looks. Keeping this need in mind apple launched ipod touch. After its launch millions of people have bought it and are making use of it. Some are really satisfied from this product where as many people are unsatisfied as well because they are not getting the true value of the money they have spent.
1. One of the mostly faced and most common ipod touch problems is the performance of the ipod touch as per the expectations of the users or customers. What does it mean when we speak of the performance? It means the freezing of the browser sometimes in the middle of the operation. This freezing of the browser results due to slow operation of the processor. As per the survey conducted it was found that in order to deal with this problem customers have to reset or restart the ipod touch.
2. Slow speed of the processor or software was another problem being faced by many people as per the survey results. Because of slow speed of processor the performance was also lowered hence customers are being recommended to update their software regularly.
3. Some people reported that while listening to music in case you log in to the safari browser then the music stops playing which is really very irritating for them. This is the most common ipod touch problems faced so far.
4. Inability of Wi-Fi to connect to several network connections available is another problem that has been reported by many users using ipod touch.
5. Automatic repetition of song has been disturbing a lot of people. As per the complaints registered by many people it has been found that once a song is finished then rather then playing the next song the ipod touch sometimes repeats the previously played song.
6. Some people also reported that their ipod touch does not turn on even if it is fully charged and in order to turn it on you have to connect the USB to it. Once the USB is connected to it the process of turning on takes hardly anytime.
7. Maximum number of people and users of ipod touch complained that the ipod automatically quits an application after running it for some amount of time. Remember the time after which it quits that application is fixed. After the application is quit a blank home screen appears on the main screen with high transparency level and in order to bring back the normal operation one has to reset the ipod touch.
All the above mentioned problems are the most common ipod touch problems being faced by the people. Please share here if you have another ipod touch problems, and you have a better solution for the problem.


and again on the inside bottom. The interior is gilded, as well.
The condition of this case is very good. The hinge is intact and the button closure is in good operating condition. There are some shallow dents on the two front corners, as shown in my pictures. These dents are minor and not at all offensive ...they are hardly noticable. The gold washed patina seems to camoflauge these shallow dents.

I Was Successful In 2V0-620 VCP6-DCV With The Help Of ActualtestsI am delighted on passing my 2V0-620 exam. A few days before the exam, I was very hopeless. My efforts were taking me nowhere as I was struggling with some extremely important concepts. Then I came across Actualtests on the internet and the entire pace of my preparation changed drastically. Preparing for exams from Actualtests is really cool and simple. The techniques are time saving and hit right on target. I took a lot of advantage by using it. It is a great aid to all the problems, so everyone should take help from it especially the people preparing for 2V0-620 .
Success At Last! Thanks For Helping Me Pass The 2V0-620 Certification ActualtestsI finally received the 2V0-620 certification today in the third attempt. This time, I prepared with Actualtests 2V0-620 exam preparatory materials. They are so well-prepared that they helped me prepare within no time. Now, I can also recommend Actualtests to other people since I have tried it myself, and I can guarantee that it works. For working professionals, taking out time for attending classes is difficult. Thanks to Actualtests that we can easily prepare at home. Thank you Actualtests!
I'm Going To Go Places With 2V0-620 And ActualtestsIn planning my certification career, my friend's brother showed me Actualtests that had a 100% success rate. The study pack provided me with enough material to practice for my 2V0-620 exam. The cool thing about the tests was that they were tricky and had tough questions to get a professional out in me. Passing 2V0-620 really got me wanting to do more with Actualtests. This is an excellent product if you want to be a professional. My certification career will surely go much higher if I hold on to this tool.
Giving An Exam Was Never An Easy Task For Me. Till I Found Actualtests!I was really worried about my upcoming 2V0-620 , as I found this subject exception uninteresting. However, to help myself, I got assistance of Actualtests's 2V0-620 exam study pack 3 weeks before the actual exam dates, and I was literally spell bound, as my interest was developing for the subject like never before. Actualtests helped me clear out my concepts about certain things I was unsure of and helped me save a lot of time which I normally wasted while going through unimportant details. Thanks to Actualtests! I was able to achieve a great score in 2V0-620 .


Do you ever love a certain type of clothing but never really wear it? It's kinda like you love the idea of it but forget to actually wear it yourself? That is 100% me and kimonos.
I've always loved kimonos but always forget to wear them and when I do I always wonder why the frick I don't wear them more often. For me kimonos are very much an alternative summer layering piece to knits and hoodies, they bring a lil somethin' somethin' to an outfit. I have a couple in my wardrobe but for one reason or another I just forget they are there, but I think I've finally found the kimono to help with that.
A few weeks ago I was very kindly gifted a kimono from Jawbreaker London. I was immediately drawn to it on the site and eagerly waited for it to arrive. When it came it was even better than I thought it would be. The red and black contrasting is super dreamy, as are the slightly fluted sleeves. I wore it with my new celestial Motel dress I picked up in the sale and felt like a festival space witch hybrid - a vibe I can totally get on board with.
Since the kimono's arrival I have worn it to death and kinda planned my outfits around it - can you blame me though?! Kimonos are definitely a summer essential in my wardrobe and I need to make a conscious effort to take advantage of them whilst the weather is so good.

The Pension Transition Arrangement Directorate has given reason why thousands of workers of the defunct Nigerian National Shipping Line (NNSL) are yet to be enrolled into the Defined Benefits Scheme for the purpose of getting their pension as their counterparts in similar agencies.
The Executive Secretary of PTAD, Barr. Sharon Ikeazor, in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja said the delay in computing the pension of the NNSL ex-workers was due to non-verification of the salary structure of the defunct agency many months after it got presidential approval to enroll the former workers.
Ikeazor said there was no deliberate attempt to delay or deny the workers of the former shipping line their dues, adding that it was working round the clock to clear all obstacles against the settlement of their pay.
The PTAD boss pointed out that having successfully verified and settled the pension of 16,873 pensioners of seven other defunct privatized agencies, there was no reason not to capture and pay those of NNSL and others still outstanding.
"In the case of NNSL, the approval for enrolment was received in April 2018, several months after the first set of agencies was approved. The Directorate's pre-verification exercise for pensioners is a long and painstaking inter-ministerial process that requires the collection of data and digitization of documents.
"Most significantly, it requires getting the authentic salary structure of the agency concerned, which in the case of NNSL was not an easy feat. When PTAD eventually got a response in that regard from the Federal Ministry of Transport, representatives of the Union, whom the Directorate had been actively engaging with all along, declared the document incomplete, saying that it did not include the salary structure of its seamen, though PTAD is yet to receive any formal information from Federal Ministry of Transport regarding that allusion," Ikeazor said.
The PTAD statement followed claims by the representatives of the former NNSL workers that the agency had deliberately delayed their enrolment into the Defined Benefit Scheme (DBS), thereby frustrating the payment of their N3 billion pension arrears.
The agency claimed the allegation as incorrect, adding that the issue of enrolling pensioners of defunct/privatized agencies was part of President Muhammadu Buhari administration's commitment towards lifting pensioners.
"This policy saw to the enrolment of pensioners of Delta Steel Company, Nicon Insurance, Nigeria Reinsurance, New Nigerian Newspapers and NITEL/MTEL, all agencies that were either privatized or liquidated by previous governments without contingency safety nets for the thousands of their hardworking Nigerian employees.
"Plans are already at advanced stages towards the verification and subsequent enrolment of qualified ex-workers of Savannah Sugar Company, Aluminum Smelter Company, NNSL and others as approved by the HMF.
''NITEL/MTEL 10,801, Delta Steel Company 3,593, NICON Insurance 949, Nigeria Reinsurance 292, New Nigeria Newspapers 507, Nigerian Defense Academy (Civilians) 79, Federal Housing Authority 652.
"Therefore, contrary to the unfortunate statement ascribed to certain representatives of ex-workers of NNSL, preparation for the verification of all treasury funded parastatals, including NNSL, has been completed and the exercise will commence shortly across the country. The program schedule will also be released by the Directorate soon.
"We therefore assure all pensioners that are yet to be verified that succour will soon come their way in conformity with the President's commitment to improve the welfare of all Nigerians pensioners, especially those neglected by previous administrations," PTAD added.
