Justia Patents US Patent for Hemostasis valve Patent (Patent # 4,932,633)
Hemostasis valve
Nov 21, 1988 - Schneider-Shiley (U.S.A.) Inc.
A hemostasis valve gasket for use in an introducer which is integrally formed from an elastomeric material so as to exhibit resiliency and which is designed to close about small diameter objects, such as a guide wire and about larger diameter objects such as a working catheter or guide catheter to prevent air or blood leakage. The gasket includes a proximal cylindrical member, a distal cylindrical member and a central member which is spaced in its center portion from the proximal and distal members by chambers or cavities. One of the proximal or distal cylindrical members has a bore of a relatively small diameter compared to that formed through the other and an angled slit is formed through the central member in general alignment with the bores formed through the outer proximal and distal cylindrical members.

This invention relates to a hemostasis valve used in conjunction with a cannula to position and manipulate intravascular catheters of the type typically used in angiography or angioplasty procedures. Angiography is a well known and very valuable procedure used in the diagnosis of vascular and organ disease. Angioplasty has, in recent years, come into its own as a viable method for treating blockages in the coronary arteries. Both of these procedures involve inserting a catheter into one of the major arteries or veins and then advancing it into smaller branching vessels.
One prior art technique for inserting such catheters is known as the "cut down" method. This method involves surgically opening of vein or artery and inserting the catheter directly through the incision. This method is not preferred because it inevitably involves the loss of blood through the incision. This procedure also requires, in nearly all instances, venus ligation and arterial repair.
More recently, physicians have adopted an alternative procedure which includes placing a percutaneous sheath, called an introducer, into the blood vessel. A guide wire is then passed through the introducer and advanced up the artery or vein to the area to be studied or treated. Once the guide wire is in place, a catheter is inserted through the introducer and over the guide wire until the catheter working end reaches the treatment or study site.
A recognized problem with this latter technique is excess bleeding and the possibility of air embolisms, particularly during the insertion, removal or change of catheters. To reduce the possibility of excess loss of blood and/or the development of air embolisms, many attempts have been made to develop a suitable hemostasis valve or gasket for use in conjunction with the introducer. U.S. Pat. No. 4,000,739, issued on Jan. 4, 1977 to Robert C. Stevens, discloses a gasket system which is intended to inhibit excess bleeding and prevent the development of emboli. This system involves the use of two disk like gaskets formed from an elastomeric material. The first gasket has a round hole through its center and the second gasket has Y-shaped slit through its center. When stacked face-to-face, these gaskets cooperate to close the passage about the catheter during insertion and during manipulation of the catheter. Following removal of the catheter, the Y-shaped slit closes to prevent blood air from flowing therethrough.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,436,519, issued on Mar. 13, 1984 to William J. O'Neil, discloses a dome-shaped hemostasis valve which is directed to these same problems. This valve has a body comprised of a central passage and a resilient dome-shaped diaphragm having a wall member with a single linear slit. A dome-shaped diaphragm is used because it will act in cooperation with the walls of central passage to resiliently urge the slit closed when no catheter is present therethrough.
Still another valve arrangement is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,626,245 to Weinstein. This patent discloses an elastomeric partition valve of one piece construction. The valve includes a first slit defined by one side of the partition valve and a second slit defined by the opposite side. Each slit has a location which creates two spaced apart points of intersection with the other slit. The Weinstein Patent further indicates that the first and second slit should both have a Y-shape.
While each of the designs discussed above have certain advantages, none of them are deemed to be fully satisfactory. For example, each permits a certain amount of blood leakage because they do not provide a sufficiently tight seal when only the guide wire is in place. This is particularly true for smaller diameter guide wires.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a hemostasis valve for use with an introducer which will inhibit of eliminate flow of blood through the valve during insertion and manipulation of either a guide wire or a catheter during an angioplasty or angiography procedure. More specifically, it is the object of this invention to provide an improved valve having three separate members which cooperate to perform the leak proof valve function.
In general, the valve of the present invention is molded or otherwise formed from a suitable elastomeric material and has a proximal member, a center member and a distal member, all of which are cylindrical in shape. The proximal and distal members have approximately the same diameter which is smaller than the diameter of the central member. The "extra" diameter of the central section is present to form a flange by which the valve can be secured into an introducer body to form a tight seal between the valve's circumference and the inner wall of the introducer.
Both the proximal member and the distal member has a hole therethrough, the two holes being aligned with one another. The central member has an angled slit extending through its thickness dimension, the slit also being aligned with the holes of the proximal and distal members. The two holes and the slit are sized so that a relatively small diameter guide wire or a larger diameter catheter can be passed through them. An important feature of the present invention is the angular orientation of the slit. Preferably, the slit is cut at approximately 45.degree. through the central member. Cutting the slit in this fashion promotes an improved seal around the guide wire and/or catheter. It also ensures a quick, tight seal of the valve when such penetrating objects are removed.

As in shown in FIGS. 1 through 3, the preferred embodiment of the present invention is comprised of an integrally molded resilient valve body 10 which includes a distal cylindrical member 20, a central cylindrical member 30 and a proximal cylindrical member 40. These members are either integrally formed or secured together and aligned in face-to-face registration as best seen in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2. All parts of the valve are preferably made of an elastomeric material such as natural rubber or silicone rubber. Members 20 and 40 have substantially the same outer diameter. However, the diameter of the intermediate member 30 is made larger to form an annular flange 31. Flange 31 is present to enable a tight seal to be made between the hemostasis valve 10 and the inner wall of the introducer housing (see FIGS. 5 and 6) into which the valve is placed.
With continued reference to FIG. 2, each of outer members 20 and 40 include an internal hollow chamber 21 and 41, respectively. Member 20 and member 40 each also includes a circular bore (22 and 42, respectively) passing through its thickest dimension such that the outside of the valve is in communication with its respective chamber. Circular bores 22 and 42 are coaxially aligned with respect to each other. The size of bore 42 depends upon the outside diameter of the catheter to be used in conjunction with the valve.
The presence of chambers 21 and 41 is important for proper functioning of the valve. These chambers make it possible for the valve to be held firmly in place by the introducer yet still permit the parts of the valve to stretch, move and be pliable as working catheters and guide wires are inserted or retracted. This is important to reduce drag on the catheter or guide wire and to enhance the physician's ability to manipulate the distal end of the catheter. Similarly, these chambers 21 and 41 reduce the amount of stress the valve would otherwise place on the catheter and permits the valve to go back to its original shape when the catheter is withdrawn.
Aligned with bores 22 and 42 and formed through the thickness dimension of the central member 30 is an angular slit 32. This slit is in communication on one side with chamber 21 on the other side with chamber 41. While slit 32 can be cut at any angle through the central section, this slit is preferably cut so that it is other than perpendicular with the proximal surface 33 and the distal surface 34 of the central member 30. For example, certain advantages are obtained if this slit is cut at an angle in the range from about 35.degree. to 55.degree. with 45.degree. being preferred.
The modifications shown in FIGS. 1A through 3A were, in fact, made to aid cutting of the slit 32 at such a 45.degree. angle with respect to the proximal and distal surfaces of the central member 30. As modified, the central member 30 is still cylindrical in shape. However, the shape of outer members 20 and 40 have been changed to include a central segment of reduced diameter (25 and 45, respectively) and an outer segment (26 and 46, respectively) of a diameter substantially equal to the diameter of central member 30. When so constructed, segments 26 and 46, in conjunction with central member 30, form a flange to allow a tight seal between the outer periphery of the valve body 10 and the inner wall of the introducer shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
When the valve is constructed in accordance with the modified design of FIGS. 1A through 3A, formation of slit 32 at about a 45.degree. angle is simplified. More particularly, an arcuate slit 28 can be made between a major portion of members 20 and 30. Likewise, a similar slit 48 is made between members 30 and 40. Once slits 28 and 48 are made, members 20 and 40 can be folded away to expose the location of member 30 where the slit 32 is to be made. Yet, when in use with an introducer, a tight seal is maintained between the introducer's inner wall and the outer perimeter valve body by pinching flanges 26 and 46 together against member 30 when the valve is secured within the inner valve receiving chamber of the introducer.
As best shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the introducer 50 includes an introduction tube 51 which is fixed to a receptacle assembly 52. The receptacle assembly 52 includes a union nut 53, a housing 54, a casing member 55, and a cover 56. The housing 54 includes inner chamber 57.
When the introducer 50 is assembled, the union nut 53 is mated to the housing 54. Reciprocal threads on the housing 54 and the nut 53 ensure a secure connection. Next, the valve member 10 is inserted into the inner chamber 57 of the housing 54. The casing member 55 is then placed in the inner chamber 57 over the valve member 10. Finally, the cover 56 is then secured to the housing 54. Again, reciprocal threading on the housing 54 and the cover 56 ensure a tight fit. When the introducer is so assembled, the valve 10 is securely held in place and a tight seal is formed between the flange 31 and the inner wall of the housing 54. Also, the cover 56, casing member 55 and housing 54 cooperate to pinch flanges 26 and 46 together against member 30. Finally, when so assembled, the introducer 50 includes a passage or lumen running its entire length which is selectively sealed by the valve member 10.
FIGS. 6 and 7 show an alternative style holder 60 for the valve 10. This holder 60 is comprised of a main housing 61 and a cover 62. Both housing 61 and cover 62 have a central lumen therethrough. The housing 61 is also characterized as including a shelf 63. Cover 62 has a similar shelf 64.
As best shown in FIG. 7, when assembled the valve 10 is seated within the housing 61 so that flange 26 of valve 10 is in contact with shelf 63. The cover 62 is then mated with the housing 61 so that the shelf 64 contacts flange 46 of the valve. The cover 62 and the housing 61 cooperate to pinch flanges 26 and 46 together about there periphery to hold the valve in place. While the compression fit between the outer wall of cover 62 and the inner wall of housing 61 may be sufficient in most instances to hold the parts in the desired assembled relation, for additional safety it is recommended that the cover 62 and housing 61 be ultrasonically welded so they become fused together.
After the introducer 50 is assembled with the valve 10 of the present invention in place, the introducer is then inserted into a vein or artery. Typically, then, a guide wire is advanced through the introducer until it reaches the valve. The physician will continue to advance the guide wire through the valve first through opening 42, then through slit 32 and finally through opening 22. When the guide wire has been passed through the valve, members 20, 30 and 40 cooperate to form a tight seal around the guide wire as it is advanced and manipulated within the circulatory system to the site of the blockage. Since the diameter of the guide wire is typically very small compared to the diameter of an angioplasty or angiographic catheter, member 30 is primarily responsible for providing the requisite tight seal around its outer diameter. Such a tight seal is made possible by the angled orientation of slit 32. Opening 22 also provides a seal around the guide wire.
Once the guide wire is properly positioned, a suitable catheter is advanced over the guide wire, into the introducer, through the valve 10 and into the vascular system. Again, the valve parts, and particularly the elastomeric material on either side of slit 32 will close down around the catheter to form a tight seal.
Important advantages of the present invention over the prior art become apparent when the penetrating guide wire and catheter are removed. The fact that the flaps formed in the central member 30 by slit 32 do not merely abut each other, but rather overlap to provide a larger sealing surface and pressure on either side tends to compress the angled slit to ensure a quick, tight, self-adjusting lip seal. This is accomplished with the present invention with minimal resistance to the insertion, manipulation and removal of the catheter through the valve.
For exemplary purposes, and not by way of limitation, the article of the present invention may have an O.D. of about 0.30 inches, an overall width of 0.115 inches, a proximal and distal cylindrical member whose diameters are 0.218 inches, one such cylindrical member having a 0.032 inch bore therethrough and the other having a bore of a diameter in the range from 0.042 inches to 0.060 inches to accommodate working catheters of differing sizes. The hollow chambers may be 0.020 inches deep and have a diameter of 0.168 inches.
The above-description of the present invention should, in all respects, be deemed illustrative rather than limiting. This is particularly true since the invention may be embodied in other specific forms without deviating from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims set forth below are intended to be embraced therein.

The Culture of American Authoritarianism
The Road to Nowhere: Whatever ...
by Testset September 29, 2020
Just as inevitable as the confirmation of a "Justice Barrett" is the likelihood that the first case to go before the newly-confirmed justice will be a dispute over the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
By Anatole d'Ecotopia

In the last week, two things have occurred and one thing failed to occur that collectively further define the emerging culture of American authoritarianism.
Most recently, right-wing extremist groups "Patriot Prayer" and the "Proud Boys" made good their threat to hold an unsanctioned and non-permitted rally in the so-called "anarchist jurisdiction" of Portland, Oregon. The rally, declared for the ostensible purpose of memorializing recently slain member Aaron J. Danielson and showing support for President Donald Trump, had been estimated by organizers as having a potential turnout of 10,000 — at least an order of magnitude greater than previous Proud Boy stunts staged in Portland.
Citing legitimate public safety and COVID-19 concerns, permits for this gathering were denied. Demonstrating once again conditional — at best — respect for "law and order", organizers announced their intention of holding the event whether permits were granted or not. Requests for crowd control assistance from law enforcement in neighboring communities was rebuked — ostensibly over Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler's decision to ban the use of tear gas as a crowd control measure.
Shortly before the event occurred, Oregon Governor Kate Brown stepped in. By temporarily deputizing members of Portland Police Bureau as state police, a workaround was provided to ensure that misbehaving boys would, indeed, be gassed. Possibly as a consequence, attendance for the event was an order of magnitude smaller — not larger. An estimated 200 armed, armored, and belligerent would-be "Bugaloo Boys" turned out, with some 30 winding up under arrest. Later that evening, rather like clockwork, Portland Police Bureau once again declared largely non-violent protests against police brutality to be a "riot", once again responding with yet more brutality — including, as reported in Willamette Week, the baton beating of a 73 year old man.
The disparity of treatment between protesters of the Right and of the Left at the hands of Portland Police Bureau is fairly well-documented. On a previous Proud Boy incursion (few of these individuals are ever residents of Portland), police went so far as to provide would-be riot inciters with a police escort out of town. Not surprisingly, those protesting on behalf of police reform receive no such kid-glove treatment.
On the same day, on the other side of what is at least for now the same country, Donald Trump officially confirmed his intended fast-track replacement for recently-deceased Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Judge Amy Coney Barrett has been aptly described as a "dream for the Right, a nightmare for the Left". A jurist of unquestionable credentials, a disciple of the late Antonin Scalia with equally unquestioned credentials as a deeply religious Catholic and doctrinaire conservative, Barrett's all-but inevitable confirmation to the Supreme Court would even further tilt an already conservative court further rightward — for decades, given Barrett's relative youth at age 48.
Given a Barrett appointment and a Trump second term, there can be little doubt that there will be legal challenges to Roe vs. Wade, the Affordable Healthcare Act, and anything else an emboldened Trump is reckless enough to attempt if he remains in office. The likelihood of these challenges succeeding… is frighteningly real.
In preparation for the expected battle over pushing through this nomination mere weeks before the election, the White House is preparing a team of what Fox News describes as "Knife Fighters". It would be nice if the Democratic Party had the will to make this a case of "bringing a knife to a gunfight" — but they don't. And even if the will was there… the votes would still be lacking.
Just as inevitable as the confirmation of a "Justice Barrett" is the likelihood that the first case to go before the newly-confirmed justice will be a dispute over the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. There can be very little doubt that Barrett will find in favor of Donald Trump's efforts to remain in power. For one thing, it's not her first rodeo. Judge Barrett was one of the attorneys on the legal team that brought before the high court the last legal challenge to a contested presidential election: The 2000 case of Bush vs. Gore.
This brings us to the thing that has not happened, that even further defines the emerging culture of American authoritarianism.
It has been almost a week since Donald Trump demurred from affirming his commitment to a bedrock American principle: The peaceful transition of power, should he not prevail in November's election — going so far as to say "There will be no transfer." While this statement has been widely condemned by Democrats and Republicans alike, it has not been walked back in any significant way — not even rebranded, as is usually the case, as a "joke".
Although commonly attributed to Sinclair Lewis, it was actually James Waterman Wise who said "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." What Wise neglected to mention, or perhaps could not foresee, was that it would also arrive with the widespread approval and support of a racist and corrupt police establishment, or that it would spread with the enthusiastic support of an equally corrupt corporate media establishment.
The culture of American authoritarianism is based equally on religious, racial, sectarian, and nationalist intolerance. It is based on the feckless opportunism of a political establishment (within both majority parties) that is too thoroughly indebted to the corporatist donor class and too aligned with neoliberal corporate capitalism to provide more than token effort on behalf of the actual common good.
Even if we are so fortunate as to see Donald Trump out of office by year's end, the authoritarian culture that created and enables him will remain — and so will the threat of America either finally collapsing into fascism or disintegrating altogether. Only by opposing this culture do we have any hope of defending ourselves from being further abused by the current system. Only by resisting do we have any hope of seeing that system changed.
That resistance will be ridiculed, despised, and preyed upon. It is hardly an accident that cities where resistance already exists are defamed as "anarchist jurisdictions". To proponents of absolute authority, no epithet is more damning than the accusation of absolute resistance — which is what anarchism is. A society with no choice between those extremes is a recipe for disaster… but that's where we're headed.

FurryP , I just created a post on my blog. I hope you find it helpful.
Awww...thanks SO much! I will check it out.
ETA: Wow that is some list. I will keep in mind you said we don't need everything. I am sure I have a lot of it already anyway. Also the comment about the professional vs basics Liquitex gesso. Good to know. I would probably have gotten the cheaper one. Thanks again.
Love all your examples for mixed media with stencils, Patter. You create beautiful art journal pages.
I am thinking I would like to try pour techniques for acrylics. justjac has turned out so many beautiful pieces and I have seen some lovely results on line.
I also want to continue playing with my alcohol inks and Alcohol Lift Ink.
FurryP , yes, you do not want to buy their cheap gesso. It is VERY grainy. Golden makes a wonderful gesso too; however, it's even more expensive. No reason to have that. This particular gesso is my "go to." Edited to say, yes, you probably have a lot of this stuff or can substitute something.
Patter - your samples are beautiful! The orange flowers are beautiful.
I'd really like to try hand lettering. Not the brush lettering I see everywhere, but just a really nice hand drawn lettering of some sort. Something I could incorporate into my scrapbooking. Does this even exist?
Something like this? Scroll way down to see more of her style. There's even a small free class.
I'm going to crack open my Brushos - the ones I've been talking about using since I "had to have them" several months ago - and I'm going to make some galaxy backgrounds and then I'm going to make pretty watercolor backgrounds for cards.
I used mine once when I first got them.
I made a ton of backgrounds and did use them for cards.
Good call on getting them back out.
My friend and I did the Jennifer McGuire monoprinting technique. It was a lot of fun. My friend did turn hers into cards. My backgrounds I did not use yet. I had to get my atc's done so I worked on them.
Those pinned layouts are amazing!
somebody mentioned acrylic pouring- that looks intriguing to me when but I don't have the faintest idea what I would DO with any finished projects. They had kits at M's that included everything you'd need for a couple canvases, but the regular price was something like $80!!! Too rich for my blood, just to try something out that I might hate anyway.
I just googled acrylic pouring. I hadn't heard of it before. Seems just too messy for me.
1. Put dab of paint on a palette (craft sheet or deli paper works too).
2. Using a makeup sponge, dab a bit of paint onto the sponge.
3. Pounce a bit of the paint off onto your palette.
4. Then pounce onto your piece through the stencil.
Play on book paper, security envelopes, etc. You get great looking texture that way. Too much paint causes it to seep under the stencil and get yucky. If you just dab off and pounce, you can come up wth beautiful stenciled images. Have fun, and here is an example of some stenciled flowers I did with orange paint. Super fun and beautiful. I do this on almost everything I create.
Great tips! Love those examples you show in the photo. Thanks for including them. I have several stencils and some acrylic paints and had the problem in the past with too much paint. I will give it a try with a sponge.
I have been watching a lot of youtube videos on making your own books or junk journals out of different papers (scrap paper, envelopes, mail, etc). I was thinking to try that at least once. Other than that I am with all of you ladies that said you want to USE what you have. I have a lot of stuff in my room and want to whittle down my stash.
Glad you will give stencils and paint another try. And the book above that is in my photo is a junk journal. Here is another one I made. The difference between the two is one is an old book cover (below), and one is a painted canvas cover. I love making them!
I'm late to the game, but recently started collecting Copics. So learning more about how to use them is on my list. I'd also like to figure out how to use my PixScan map to cut out my stamped images.
I keep buying mixed media stuff but not really using it so I'd like to explore that thru the numerous you tube video tutorials I've saved.
I'd like to get a bit more proficient with my sewing machine and scrapbooking.
Me too. It's time to stop watching videos and actually try making something. I also want to try using a gelli plate.
Patter Those are amazing! They look so cool. I just checked out your website. Thanks for sharing!
pas2 Totally agree about the gelli plate. I don't have one but have watched many a tutorial. I was just looking up the price of those the other day.
I think this thread shows why scrapping needs NEW customers. Those of us who have been at it a (long) while, already have our supplies, our tools, etc. And we resolve to use them. But what the scrapping companies need is NEW ENTRANTS to the market. They're never going to get that by recycling the same 10 tired themes, 10 tired colors and throwing in a llama or a camel here or there.
I just wish someone innovative was watching this industry waiting for a chance to breathe new life into it and engage the new 20-somethings and 30-somethings into a hobby that is a blast, a therapy and a functional way to remind ourselves of our experiences.
I just bought one with my Christmas amazon gift card. $29.05 plus a 5% off coupon for a 9x12 plate. I was so excited to play with it this weekend but had to send it back because they squeezed it in a box way to small and crushed the packaging that doubles as the storage container. The plate was fine.
Hoping it comes by next weekend. I had made one that was only ok for paint and didn't work for alcohol inks. I now use it to apply matte medium to my ink jet printouts.
I have the 8x10 and the 3x5. I use the 3x5 the most. They are fun but not my "go to." Hope you enjoy!

Q: Call function in array php Complete newbie to programming :)
i am fiddling around with a WordPress theme and hit a roadblock.  If i put this in archive.php,
<?php

if (is_category(array( 9, 13, 24,)) {
 echo 'Light is GREEN';
  }else {
 echo 'Light is RED}';
 ?>

That part works fine, when i go to category 9, 13, 24 i get "light is Green" and "light is red" for all other categories.
Now i have this function which gets the id's of categories from theme options where i need to echo "light is green"
function am_get_cat_layout_ids()
{

                global $am_option;
                $catnumend = $am_option['main']['category_onecolumn_hidden']-1;
                for($i=0; $i<$catnumend; $i++)
                {

                    $value = $am_option['main']['category_onecolumn_'.$i].',';

                }

                return $value;
}

if i echo $value instead of return, i get the category id's say 2, 15, 7, 34, fine but if i do this :
  <?php

if (is_category(array(am_get_cat_layout_ids())) {
 echo 'Light is GREEN';
  }else {
 echo 'Light is RED}';
 ?>

its not working.
anything that can be done to make it work?
Thank you ,
Srik

A: Try this:
function am_get_cat_layout_ids()
{
    global $am_option;
    $ret = array();
    $catnumend = $am_option['main']['category_onecolumn_hidden']-1;

    for($i=0; $i<$catnumend; $i++)
    {
            $ret[] = $am_option['main']['category_onecolumn_'.$i];
    }

    return $ret;
}

and
if (is_category(am_get_cat_layout_ids()) {
    echo 'Light is GREEN';
}else {
    echo 'Light is RED}';
}

A: If your am_get_cat_layout_ids() function returns 2, 15, 7, 34, then you should do:
if (is_category(explode(', ',trim(am_get_cat_layout_ids(),','))) {
 echo 'Light is GREEN';
  }else {
 echo 'Light is RED}';

A: What you have made is an array containing one string, which has comma-separated numbers. You want to build an array of numbers.
function am_get_cat_layout_ids()
{
    global $am_option;

    $ids = array(); // create array
    $catnumend = $am_option['main']['category_onecolumn_hidden']-1;

    for($i=0; $i<$catnumend; $i++)
    {
        $ids[] = $am_option['main']['category_onecolumn_'.$i]; // add value to array
    }
    return $ids; // return array
}

Your original code was the equivalent to this:
if (is_category(array( "9, 13, 24,")) {

Whereas this new code is the equivalent to the code at the beginning of the question:
if (is_category(am_get_cat_layout_ids()) {

Your Essential Guide to Getting & Using Free Makeup!
Tips, tricks, and pitfalls to avoid when getting makeup -- whether free samples of makeup or just real makeup.
Makeup is that one thing that's part of almost every woman's handbag or preparation kit, and it's something that most women don't consider leaving the house with; if you don't have your makeup in your bag, then we're going to take a wild guess and say that you don't feel like your outfit is complete.
But if makeup is essential to women and most of them have it around, then why is buying it so damned expensive? A lot of women will just stick to a certain brand of makeup because they be bothered to find anything else – and so they keep buying a product that doesn't work for them (or that they don't really want) just out of simple habit. Don't get caught in this trap!
Free samples allow you to try a range of different products with absolutely no obligation to buy the whole product, or to return anything to the manufacturer. All that you have to do is give the product a try – and if you don't like it, move on. Some sites will require a review in exchange for samples, but most manufacturers don't and are just happy that consumers are trying their products.
If you've never made use of free samples before, then it can be a confusing business: If you've wondered, you can stock your entire house with free sample products if you order enough of them – and this website has been set up to make things a lot easier for you.
The free sample business doesn't have to be confusing or complicated. In fact, it's pretty easy to get started – but there are a few things that you need to know if you don't want to get stuck or have a million questions after your first order. We've thought of some of the most common questions and things you need to think about for free sample ordering and put all of it in one article.
Bookmark our site and keep checking back for some of the best links to free samples and absolutely gratis stuff. Here's what you should know about ordering your samples before you fill in your info.
Here's our rundown of tips so you can find some of the best free makeup samples around – and advice on how to avoid some of the most common "free sample" scams.
Choosing cosmetics samples is a slightly different process then selecting any other kind of sample, and this means that manufacturers will often send along a more broad variety of samples if we're talking about a cosmetics range – for example, lipstick samples often come in several shades, and foundation has to match your skin.
Sometimes a manufacturer will just send you a range of different shades so you can try all of them to find what works, and other times they'll let you pick from several shades in the catalogue and send you a sample for the one that fits you – make sure you check what your free sample includes (usually part of the terms and conditions) before you actually place your sample order.
Most sample sites will ask you to enter your information in order to receive samples – though if you feel that the information they're asking is too much or too invasive, rather move on to another company that offers similar samples instead.
If you're fine with providing some basic personal information about you like your address and name, then make sure you fill in this information in full before you click submit.
From there, the site will usually issue you with a confirmation that the info has been received and that your sample is on the way – this either appears right in your browser or it'll be in your inbox. If you don't see it there, check your inbox. The confirmation message is pretty important and should let you know that your order has been received – it should also (usually) contain a tracking number so that you can keep an eye on your order.
If you haven't received your sample in the allotted time the site promised, then you're welcome to give the customer support team a call to find out why your delivery is taking so long.
When we're talking about makeup, cosmetics and skincare products, the first step for anyone should be to test a little bit of the sample on a small part of their skin, usually the wrist or arm. Leave it for a few minutes, and only use the rest of the product if you can honestly say that there are no adverse effects to your skin.
This is a quick allergy test that can save you a lot of trouble – and an allergic reaction to something doesn't always mean that the product is a terrible one. Sometimes it just means that the product doesn't work as well for you as it might have for someone else – pass and move on to the next one, and spare a moment to tell the manufacturer about your experience with their sample. This is how companies improve. After all, how will they know if nobody tells them about it?
Did you test a sample and it's doing something horribly painful to your skin? Your next step should be to clean off the area with simple water, then dry it – and leave it alone as much as possible, even if it continues to be itchy.
If you show any other, serious effects (which are very, very rare but still possible with severe allergies), get yourself to the emergency room and remember to tell the doctor what you took to get there.
This shouldn't scare you off: Reactions like these are extremely rare, and we can almost say with certainty that extreme reactions are likely not going to happen to you. But we're including it here just because it's important to know what to do if it were to happen!
If you've had a bad reaction from any sample, it's important to let the manufacturer know what your reaction to it was – this can help them ensure that it doesn't happen to anyone else.
For when you've finally ended up with a bunch of makeup samples and you have no idea what to do with them, you should use online makeup tutorials as your inspiration. They can teach you how to do almost any kind of makeup job – and if you click on enough related videos, you might even learn how to fix a car engine or string a guitar at the same time. Online makeup tutorials are great for teaching you new tricks – and learning new things to do with samples that you might not have thought of before.
It keeps things fresh, and it gives you an excuse to get some more samples in the mail to test out that new makeup tutorial you just found.
Only order samples either directly from the manufacturer or retailer, or choose only websites that you trust (and ones that come recommended) when you place your order. There are many scams out there, and this is the easiest way to avoid them – and if an offer seems just too good to be true, check it with the manufacturer it claims to be from: Many times they really appreciate tip-offs from their customers!
Have you learned any free makeup sample tips or tricks the hard way? Get in touch with us through the comments and let us know!

Power Award Recognition for NMRTC Bremerton Operational Readiness Clinic

Talk about ensuring a medically ready force by a ready medical force.
When Rear Adm. Bruce Gillingham, Navy surgeon general and chief, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery noticed that there was a backlog of periodic health assessments (PHA), he immediately set about to clear the holdup.
Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Bremerton Family Medicine department organized an Operational Readiness Clinic to efficiently respond to the need in the Navy's third largest fleet concentration.
They were officially recognized for their collective hard work with the Navy Surgeon General Power Award, Nov. 9, 2021.
"If a Navy command has personnel not medically ready, then they can't deploy. Our Family Medicine put together a team effort to address the need. Their efforts show what working together is a team can accomplish," said Capt. Patrick Fitzpatrick, NNHB/NMRTC Bremerton commanding officer.
A PHA is used as a screening method and measure to routinely assess the individual medical and dental readiness of all service members. For those commands preparing for deployment, it is a valued-added tool to help determine their collective operational readiness.
The recognition by the Navy surgeon general specifically focused on the innovative approach by Family Medicine. They came up with the idea of addressing the crucial PHA needed for medical readiness by implementing the Operational Readiness Clinic. The clinic streamlined the process, and improved the cycle time needed for PHAs from an average of 10.6 days down to 7.2 days for 250 Sailors.
"Your innovative approach represented a 32 percent improvement, contributing to a four percent increase in medical readiness in just six months. Your innovative efforts exceeded the surgeon general's goal ahead of the completion benchmark. Your efforts were in complete alignment with the surgeon general priorities and deserve special recognition for a job well done. Bravo Zulu," wrote Gillingham.
The surgeon general priorities – known as the '4Ps' – are the framework for Navy Medicine's mission of focusing on the readiness of the (Navy) Fleet and Fleet Marine Force and are described in part as follows:
People: Active, reserve and civilian medical forces are organized, trained, and equipped to support the integrated Naval Force. Navy Medicine is also a leader in the Navy's culture of excellence – a culture that emphasizes signature behaviors over compliance. Mutual respect is the baseline and excellence is the custom.
Platforms: Navy Medicine will have modern and maintained program of record equipment sets and appropriate platform training in place that will provide the capabilities necessary to support the warfighter.
Performance: Navy Medicine will have programs in place to ensure all active duty personnel meet and exceed their operationally-focused knowledge, skills and abilities. Further, high value performance will be gained through such principles as high reliability, partnerships and data driven decision making.
Power: All elements of Navy Medicine, including personnel, equipment, infrastructure, and analytical capabilities are harnessed to produce medically ready forces and a ready medical force.

Whites Being Excluded From the Race Debate
By Dylan Ewers
The question has been asked, "why are we afraid to talk about race?" The short explanation is, bad things happen when you broch the racial topic as a white male.
For example, yesterday a journalist for the National Review named John Derbyshire was fired for writing a satire on The Talk that many black parents give their kids to help them navigate through racially difficult situations. Read the article for yourself, but the author was mirroring the same conversation black parents give their kids about white people by writing it from a white perspective. This is a clear example of one side being muzzled in the conversation about racism. The outrage and political ramifications that ensue when racially insensitive comments are made has silenced any dissent on the topic of racism. How can you have a conversation about race when dissent is not tolerated?
This is the reason why the racial debate is basically a giant echo chamber. White people don't generally touch this one with a 40-foot pole.
In this racial ballet, the good guys and bad guys have already been cast. Samuel L. Jackson says it best here.
This time black people have chosen the cowboys and its white people who are supposed to be the Indians. The problem is, who want's to be the Indians? So the play is simply not taking place.
Specifically, there are two reasons for why no one, especially white people, want to or will play the Indians.
In Terms of Black and White
As I stated, in the "Race Ballet" the blacks are the good guys and the whites are the bad guys. Only the bad guys aren't showing up the rehearsal, and why would they? Who wants to stand there and atone for their great-great-great-grandfather's sins?
There is a general sense that it is the time for the black man to benefit at the expense of the white man. This is the opposite of constructively moving forward. It perpetuates the bad blood in the feud. This thinking will only beget more racism and reverse all that we have accomplished.
Mike Norton of the Harvard business school conducted a study which found that most whites think that while bias against blacks was prevalent over a decade ago, they now feel that the issue has been resolved. In fact, whites now feel that the bias against whites has become a greater threat to perpetuating racism than bias against blacks.
White People Are Excluded From the Debate
Anyone who studies racial philosophy or researches it will tell you a main tenant is that the oppressive race (white people) are conditioned to be so racist that it is an irreversible disorder that has been ingrained in their very culture. How can this person be expected to make any argument that isn't racist? Even black people who speak out against the logic of racism are deemed as "Uncle Toms" (Clarence Thomas, Walter Williams, Colin Powell, and Thomas Sowell). Chad Ochocinco was even suspected of being a racist because he didn't have "enough" black girls on his reality dating show.
Also, the offending race (white people) is seen as "unqualified" to make any objective statements about how much racism is still left in the U.S. Since racism is ultimately a subjective experience it is not possible for white people to "feel their pain."
If you want to encourage a real talk about racism in America, you need to allow for dissent so it is a two-sided conversation and you need to eliminate the "black and white terms." We can start by calling all people "Americans." Lose the prefix.
Since neither of these things has happened, the conversation has not taken place.

Watch this video by a rather well-known repair shop. The thought process behind the fault finding is okay and worthwhile to watch.
Soldering however is considered "fit for improvement". Start to count from ±5:00min on and list the soldering mistakes/errors in your comments. Mishaps performed twice count as one single event.
Hello I want to share my experience with laptop repair which still haunted me. Once my laptop Dell Vostro 650 was showing some problem in display as well as In typing. I have an emotional attachment to my laptop and I was totally scared and panic-stricken. My initial response to such situations would always make me look for instant solutions becuase I have some urgent work on that day. So I took my laptop to a Local service engineer and I was expecting that the service engineer there would unscrew the hinge mechanism to check the broken part in my display. But reality isn't that sweet, is it? The service engineer looked at my laptop like a curious child would look at a new object given to it, lifting it up and down, bending to look at it from different angles and declared that the panel, hinge and bezel need to be replaced. Suddenly he took my laptop to a inside room and I was feeling more nervous that they might steal some parts from my laptop or replace them with old or faulty ones. After a few minutes, the service engineer returned with my laptop and told me that I would be emailed the quotation for the replacement parts and that once the parts were ordered and delivered, the laptop could be fixed in a few hours. With some solution visible, I returned home with my laptop. The lessons I learnt from this experience is that never go for repair to unknown or unprofessional or unauthorized person for laptop and Smart phones etc.
I also do agree with @Ramon that we must choose only the authorized services centers for any electronics products whether it is in warranty period or not.

French Masters
French painter, lithographer, and etcher who produced an essentially imaginative œuvre inspired by both personal experience and the novelties of science. Born at Bordeaux, Redon spent his childhood at Peyrelebade, his father's estate in the Médoc. His father had prospered in Louisiana and married a young Creole before returning to his native region. Peyrelebade became a basic source of inspiration for all Redon's art, providing him with both subjects from nature and a stimulus for his fantasies. He studied drawing with Stanislas Gorin from 1855 and in 1857 he attempted unsuccessfully to become an architect; he also became an accomplished violinist. He developed a keen interest in contemporary literature, partly through the influence of Armand Clavaud, a botanist and thinker who became his friend and intellectual mentor.
He was taught briefly in Paris by Jean-Léon Gérôme and later back in Bordeaux by the engraver Rudolph Bresdin. He was introduced to lithography by Fantin-Latour and lithographs formed a major part of his production during the 1880s and 1890s: he used them partly as a way of making his charcoal drawings known to a wider audience.
Redon held his first Paris exhibitions at the time of the early lithograph albums, showing charcoal drawings at the review La Vie moderne in 1881 and in the newspaper Le Gaulois in 1882. In 1884 he helped to organize the first Salon des Indépendants and in 1886 exhibited both at the last Impressionist Exhibition and with Les Vingt in Brussels. His charcoals won acclaim in the Parisian literary avant-garde. He was taken up by the literary Symbolists and was a friend of J -K Huysmans and Mallarmé.
In the 1890s he turned to colour, producing poetic studies in pastel and oils of flowers and dreaming heads among others. In 1904 he was given a room in the Salon d'Automne, this contributing to the advent of Fauvism. New generations of writers, including Gide and Cocteau, became his companions and interpreters. His reputation spread abroad, notably at the American Armory Show of 1913 and in 1913. Surrealist artists regarded him as one of the precursors of their movement.

In the interest of learning both sides to a difficult and sensitive issue, the Arcadian presents an interview with Russell Schweiss, Mosaic Fertilizer's vice president for Mine Permitting, Land Management and Public Affairs. The Fortune 500 firm seeks to mine phosphate in some 25,000 acres of DeSoto County farmland. It's rezoning application was denied in July and the company seeks a special magistrate to decide the matter. This is the second of a two-part interview.
Question: PBS's October documentary on phosphate in Florida was less than complimentary.
Along with neighbors fighting over mining and money's part, it alleges phosphate's partial role in red tide, algae blooms, dead wildlife, etc. What's the reality?
Schweiss: "First, we're yet to see a single red-tide expert point the finger at phosphate mining as a cause, and that is because there's tremendous amounts of actual data related to our activities that scientists can review. There are third-party monitoring programs downstream from our mines that have been collecting water quality data for years. And, the data very clearly demonstrate that we do not have a negative impact on water quality, including nutrients.
"Consider this, phosphate mining has been going on in Central Florida for more than 100 years.
And, if you compare the past to the present, it is done with much less intensity and greater environmental protections now. Thirty years ago, 20-plus companies were mining and a dozen manufacturing facilities were operating. Now, there are three manufacturing facilities (which were part of those dozen operating then) and four mines are operating. If the perception is that red tide is a bigger problem now than then, simple logic would say that the aggravating factor is not likely to be the activity that is greatly reduced compared to when there wasn't a problem.
desire to ensure that fertilizers are properly applied and stay on the farm to grow crops. We strongly support "4R Nutrient Stewardship" to educate those who use any fertilizers about how to use the right source of nutrients, at the right time, in the right place and at the right rate to optimize yields on the farm while protecting the environment by minimizing or eliminating runoff. We have been actively engaged in nutrient stewardship efforts for years, but we recognize there is more to be done.
Question: What's the world phosphate market doing? Do you imagine synthetic phosphate someday replacing minerals?
Schweiss: "Global demand for phosphorus has picked up in recent years. (Global shipments increased 1.5 percent per year from 2010 to 2015, but the pace of growth has increased to about 2 percent per year since 2015.) The traditional drivers— namely population and income growth— remain steady while land committed to agriculture is not expanding at the same rate. That means fertilizer—which accounts for half of all crop yields—is an essential element of meeting future demand.
"Additionally, the globe's farmers, armed with ever-better input and machinery technology, have produced four consecutive huge crops. Yields are rising around the world — and taking nutrients from the soil with them. This is the nexus of fertilizer demand: The need to replenish nutrients plus the drive for higher yields.
"Regarding a replacement, phosphorus is fundamental to all living things and there is no substitute. Phosphorus is an element … it cannot be created synthetically. Your body cannot substitute something else in your DNA, your bones or to power your cells. There will never be a synthetic replacement because it is a critical basic building block of all living things.
Question: Most common comment, social-media posting, rumor, etc. about what Mosaic is doing that is flat-out wrong and that drives you most bonkers? Can you see the other side's concerns?
Schweiss: "Social media has created a new dynamic in this country that is only beginning to play out. The notion that there are no uses for the land after it is reclaimed ... this is unfounded; there are very good examples of land utilization post reclamation: recreation, wildlife habitat, wetland mitigation, parks, government infrastructure and various agricultural uses.
"While most people in Central Florida only know Mosaic as a miner and manufacturer, we're also a significant player in local agriculture. We have about 6,000 acres of citrus, 250 acres of blueberries, 300 acres of sod farm, several hundred acres of commercial eucalyptus (expanding quickly), several thousand acres of commercial pine plantations and 13,000 acres of cattle leases. We also produce about 1.4 million pounds of restaurant grade tilapia every year.
Critics argue such scenes define Mosaic's Florida mining operations. The company, however, counters that it reclaims such property for agriculture, public parks and a golf resort in Bowling Green.


In the summer term some of the children in Key Stage One were entered into a Young writer's competition. They had a choice of themes to choose from including magical, space, zoo, jungle and pirates. The children then had to write a story on their chosen theme. We have just received notification that 84 children have been successful and have the opportunity to have their work published in an anthology called My First Story- Leicestershire. A copy of which will be sent to the British library and further libraries across the UK. School should receive a copy in the Spring term. Children who have not been successful on this occasion have received a book mark for taking part. We are very proud of our fantastic young writers. Well done to everyone who took part!

Q: Why does Shift-Alt-F in vsc remove all semi-colons from my javascript code? When I use the Shift-Alt-F command in Visual Studio Code on a javascript file, it removes all of the semi-colons at the end of all of my statements in that file. Why is that?
I can create a new file, say, myFile.js, and enter in a single line as such:
var myVar = 10;

If I then press 'Shift-Alt-F', it immediately changes my code to be
var myVar = 10

if I do this on a large file with lots of code, it pretty much ruins my day, and makes me go back to Notepad++.
This is a stock installation, with no modifications by me. Windows 2012 R2.
Is it me? The language mode says I am in Javascript.

A: I looked around and found this bug report: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/615
It turns out this error is caused by a plugin called JavaScript Standard Format:

Assuming you have that plugin, remove it and you should be fine.

In this age and day, the days where you could leave basically pretty much anything unlocked and not secured and be at peace of mind, are long gone. Let's face the facts, you check at least twice if anything is left open before you go to sleep, regardless of the fact whether you're at home, leaving work or in a caravan out in the wild. And caravans are definitely not a cheap vehicle anymore – they're a lifestyle and a huge investment.
I'll confess, I had some belief in humanity a couple of months ago, and left my caravan unlocked at a camping lot. I left it there overnight just to come back the next day and find an empty campsite spot. Luckily, that made me wiser and I found out there are a number of ways you can secure your caravan, like buying a caravan wheel lock, an alarm system, install cameras, a GPS and whatnot. Here are a few steps you can take to prevent theft in your caravan, or the theft of it.
A caravan wheel lock and hitchlocks are the first thing you need to implement. They're made by many manufacturers and their price range does not vary greatly. The wheel lock immobilizes the wheel, making sure your caravan can't be driven away and even towed away. But to be fair, if someone wants to break into your caravan, they will do it regardless. However, a hitchlock and a wheel lock might convince them to skip your caravan and try to rob the next one in line. These are just some of the things that you can do to let the thieves know that your caravan is well taken care of and secured and that they won't be able to steal it that easy.
There's a wide array of electronic devices you can use to improve your caravan's security, and you've got to make a choice in terms of what you think will fit your caravan best. Anti-theft recovery devices are something commonly found on the market. Alarms can notify monitoring stations just like a house alarm. Invest in as many security devices as you think you need and can afford. Tracking devices and alarms will help you get back your caravan even if it does get stolen. You'll find out where it is, who's done it and will most probably help you get the thieves caught.
Most people can't keep their caravans at home, so you have to look at different solutions. There are companies that offer these services and have security watch over your caravan 24/7. By registering your caravan with the caravan and motorhome club of Australia, you'll get recommendations by experienced people in the industry about what are the best storage facilities for you.

NSW government looks to grow digital skills in those not going to university
There's a skills shortage, but there isn't enough of a focus on the 50% of students who don't want to go to university, according to NSW Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education.
By Asha Barbaschow | May 23, 2019 -- 00:29 GMT (17:29 PDT) | Topic: Tech Industry
The New South Wales government is looking for a different approach to ensuring the skills that are required for the future workforce are properly nurtured, focusing on students that don't want to go to university to begin their career.
Speaking with ZDNet while at IBM Think in Sydney on Wednesday, NSW Minister for Skills and Tertiary Education Geoff Lee said that currently, the opportunities for school-leavers are skewed and they aren't favouring those that don't move on to university.
"At the moment when you're a student, our whole system seems to be skewed towards an ATAR and then progression into university, and that's fine for 50% of the people, but we really need to have meaningful opportunities for the 50% that choose not to go to university," he said.
"We need to give them opportunities to say, 'Well I'd like to go into robotics. I'd like to go into AI, I'd like to go into blockchain, but I'd like to do it through a different mechanism'."
An Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is number between 0.00 and 99.95 that indicates a student's position relative to the students in their age group and is used for university admission.
"50% of students don't go to university ... for the students who choose the VET option, we must break down those barriers," he said.
SEE: Special report: IT jobs in 2020: A leader's guide (free PDF)
According to Lee, the best approach is real-world experience combined with education, be that through a traineeship-like corporate initiative or TAFE, as some examples.
"Different models of pathway programs -- you're not going to just find one pathway programs for all students, you need different pathways for different students because we have such a diversity of students out there," he continued.
"As a government, we graduate and are responsible for the educations of hundreds of thousands of students ... I think the challenge for us as a government and the challenge for industry is how do we actually grow the skill levels for those students not going to university."
The difficulty, Lee said, is that many students are told that university is their only pathway.
"I think as a government, we must say that VET training is a viable option for a meaningful job and a meaningful career," he said.
"In the not too distant future, the NSW government will have a strong and focused look on pathway programs. How better to engage high school students with the VET sector and the higher ed sector to provide a continuous pathway to the development of the individual, because as our world changes we need to adapt and reskill and allow people to upskill."
Lee was at IBM's local conference to thank Big Blue for expanding its Pathways in Technology Early College High Schools (P-TECH) initiative in Australia.
P-TECH is touted by the company as a long-term partnership between industry, schools, and tertiary education providers that enables business to play an active role in the learning and career development of the future workforce.
Lee said it's important for government to acknowledge and encourage initiatives like P-TECH that help to shrink the skills gap.
"As a government we can't do it alone, so my focus will be on how do we engage industry better to actually deliver the programs -- we're not always the experts in the area and in fact, industry provides those expertise that I think is a great way to teach our students ... whether it's cybersecurity, automation, AI," he continued.
"Industry, government, and the individual students need to work much closer together to deliver the skills that we need for the future."
With a "tech-bro" culture in the workforce and a mentality that technology-related careers are for men only, the minister said what is needed to help counter that is role models for young women to look towards.
SEE: The state of women in computer science: An investigative report [PDF download](TechRepublic cover story)
"It's a cultural shift. There is a need to promote the wonderful role models and the very successful people, so people in school age, in their informative years [are able to see they] can be that person -- there is no ceiling to what I can do," Lee told ZDNet. "So I think it is a whole shift, not only internally within the companies, but in terms of promoting the great work of some really successful role models."

Introduction LA Testing provides mold and indoor air quality (IAQ) testing services to help identify contaminants in people's homes across California.
Last month, the New York Post published a report about the ongoing legal battle that performer Rihanna has brought against those she feels are responsible for selling her a defective mansion in Beverly Hills. The article states that in a recent deposition, the seller has said he informed the realty company of problems with the multimillion dollar home, but the company failed to inform Rihanna before the sale was completed. The singer has reportedly filed a lawsuit against the former owner of the property, engineers, inspectors and the property brokers for $8.5 million.
Lawsuits due to the presence of mold caused by construction defects occur all across the country. California has seen a number of high profile cases over the years that have garnered the media's attention because of celebrities who have been involved in some of these cases.
Mold is a common contaminant found in people's home. Almost any type of building may develop moisture and dampness problems from roof, window and plumbing leaks, high indoor humidity, flooding events and numerous other causes. Mold growing in an indoor environment can quickly create problems. These include ruined belongings, structural damage, a wide range of health concerns and decreased property values.
To learn more about mold or IAQ testing services, please visit www.LATesting.com, email info@LATesting.com or call (800) 755-1794.

The story of St. Philip the Apostle
Philip was a native of Bethsaida on the Sea of Galilee, as were Peter and Andrew. On the day after Peter's call, Jesus found Philip and said to him, "Follow me." Philip obeyed and a little later told Nathanael about Jesus. Sceptical, Nathanael asked, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Philip replied, "Come and see." This is the invitation of St. Philip's Parish: "Come and see!" (John 1:43-46 ).
Philip is listed among the twelve in Matthew 10.2-4, Mark 3.14-19 and Luke, 6.13-16. Acts 1.13 also mentions Philip as belonging to the disciples who were at Pentecost. Beyond this, only the Gospel of John mentions Philip.
"Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?" Jesus said to Philip as they faced the large crowd needing food. (The gospel says that Jesus did this to test Philip.) Philip answered, "Six months' wages would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little." (John 6.5-7)
When Greeks came to Philip and asked to see Jesus, Philip reported this to Andrew and they both told Jesus (John 12.21). Was Philip a little shy?
During the Last Supper, after Jesus spoke about knowing and seeing the Father, it was Philip who said, "Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied." Jesus said, "Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?" (John 14.8-9)
Ancient traditions about Philip are confused with those concerning Philip the deacon and evangelist. One of the two Philips was buried in Hieropolis in Phrygia in Asia Minor. Some ancient writers say that Philip the apostle had three daughters, yet Acts 21.8-9 mentions four daughters of Philip the deacon and evangelist, which one tradition also says were buried in Hieropolis.
According to legend, Philip was preaching in Hieropolis together with Bartholomew, and through prayer killed a large serpent in a temple devoted to serpent worship. Philip also healed many of snake bite. Angered, the city governor and its pagan priest had Philip and Bartholomew crucified. As the two disciples were on the crosses, an earthquake knocked everyone to the ground, and Philip prayed for their safety. Seeing the earthquake abate, the people demanded that Philip and Bartholomew be released. Bartholomew survived, but Philip died.
Philip's alleged remains were later moved to the Basilica of the Twelve Apostles in Rome, which was originally dedicated to Saints Philip and James (James the younger). So the two saints have come to be celebrated on the same day.
Philip is the patron of hatters, pastry chefs, the nations of Luxembourg and Uruguay, and many churches, schools and hospitals throughout the world.
The Roman Catholic church moved the traditional date away from 1 May, as in 1955 May Day was dedicated to St. Joseph the Worker. St. Philip is now commemorated by the Roman Catholics on 3 May, the Eastern churches on 14 November and Anglicans on 1 May or 3 May.

Nazi punk nebo také hate punk je hudební žánr vycházející z punk rocku. Jedná se o specifickou subkulturu punku, která se vyznačuje vedle odporu ke konzumní společnosti také politickým postojem ovlivněným buďto nacismem, nebo nacionalismem.

Nazi punk se vyznačuje často rasismem, ale také nulovým respektem k autoritám. Nazi punks vystupují radikálně proti levici (zejména komunistům a anarchistům), homosexuálům nebo přistěhovalcům. Z punku si přinášejí způsob odívání, účesy, hudbu, ale také vandalství a zviditelňování se. Výrazně se pak distancují od drog.

V hudbě Nazi punks poslouchají zejména punk-rock a Oi!, vytvářejí však také vlastní hudební skupiny. V zahraničí to jsou například A.B.H., Arma Blanca, The Dirty White Punks, Forward Area, Midgårds Söner. V České republice se k nazi punku otevřeně hlásila jen hudební skupina Celková Impotence, která vydala v roce 1993 demo NAZI PUNK. Nicméně kapela sama deklaruje, že nikdy nevyznávala nacismus, její zaměření bylo a je čistě nacionalistické a vlastenecké.

Nazi punks se začali objevovat už v roce 1978, kdy zformovala National Front v Anglii organizaci Punk Front, která sdružovala nacionalisticky laděné punks. Organizace sice neměla dlouhého trvání, ale semkla nacionalisty a konzervativce z řad punkerů a objevily se první nacionalistické punkové kapely. V České republice jsou nevelké skupinky nazi punks už od začátku devadesátých let, kdy stojí jak proti anarchistům a komunistům, tak i proti nacistickým skinheadům.

V současnosti používají spíš název hatepunk, aby se vyhnuli spojování s nacismem.

LOVE, SIMON
Everyone deserves a great love story. But for seventeen-year-old Simon Spier it's a little more complicated: he's yet to tell his family or friends he's gay and he doesn't actually know the identity of the anonymous classmate he's fallen for online.
It's good to see stories being made about the experiences of gay teens. But this one is typical Hollywood — superficial, clichéd, stereotyped, and saccharine. The cast does a good job of acting their parts, but the script is predictable and superficial. It does make some good points about cyber-bullying. There's a warmth that is endearing but it's clearly made for an American teen demographic. Jon Frosch, of The Hollywood Reporter, describes it as '… an expertly carved chunk of cheese.' Pretty accurate.
