\section{Introduction}

The main goal of the AE$\bar{\hbox{g}}$IS{} experiment at CERN's Antimatter Factory is to measure the gravitational acceleration of antimatter atoms with a pulsed beam of cold antihydrogen ($\bar{\hbox{H}}${}) \cite{aegis_exp:15}. The method chosen by the collaboration is that of directly sampling the trajectory of free-falling atoms both in space and time, so to invert their (newtonian) equation of motion $ \Delta y \propto \bar{g} \, \Delta t^2 $ to work out $ \bar{g} $, Earth's gravitational acceleration experienced by antihydrogen atoms. Time-controlled antihydrogen production is realized by a charge-exchange process between trapped antiprotons ($\bar{\hbox{p}}${}) and laser-excited Rydberg Positronium (Ps) atoms, whose cross-section is $ \sigma_{CE} \approx 10^{-15} \, {n_{Ps}}^4 \,\, \si{\centi\meter\squared}$ and $n_{Ps}$ is the principal quantum number of Rydberg Ps (Ps*, from now on)  \cite{krasnicky_pra:16}. Ps atoms are obtained by implanting bursts of \si{\kilo\electronvolt} positrons ($\mathrm{e^+}${}) in a nanochanneled mesoporous $\mathrm{e^+}${}-Ps silica converter \cite{aegis_targets:21}.

\section{Review of AE$\bar{\hbox{g}}$IS{} phase 1 results}

During the first phase of the project (lasting approximately until the end of 2018, see \fig{physics_outlook}) AE$\bar{\hbox{g}}$IS{} aimed at three main objectives: assess experimentally the effectiveness of its selected gravitational sensor, establish Ps* production in its \SI{1}{\tesla} magnetic field environment, and use it to first produce $\bar{\hbox{H}}${} in a pulsed fashion following its original charge-exchange scheme (see \cite{aegis_exp:15}, also shown in \fig{aegis_scheme}, left).
\\
First, the possibility to adopt a moiré deflectometer (the classical counterpart of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer) was investigated. \si{\kilo\electronvolt} $\bar{\hbox{p}}${} were let go through a set of two \SI{40}{\micro\meter}-period gratings and detected by a nuclear emulsion detector \cite{aegis_emulsions2:13}. Comparing the so-obtained $\bar{\hbox{p}}${} fringe pattern with a light reference, it was established that the device preserved its alignment in the cryogenic vacuum of the experiment, and that forces down to the \si{\atto\newton} sensitivity could be measured on a baseline of roughly \SI{20}{\centi\meter} \cite{aegis_natc:14}.
\\
Second, Rydberg Ps production via two-step laser excitation in the \SI{1}{\tesla} magnetic $\vec{B}$ field of the experiment was realized. The maximum $ n_{Ps} $ that could be reached was $ n_{Ps} = 18 $ as, for higher levels, significant self-ionization of the atoms was observed. This resulted from the effect of an effective electric field experienced by the Ps* atoms in their co-moving frame of reference at velocity $\vec{v}_{Ps}$: the so-called \textit{motional Stark effect}, or $ \vec{E}_{MS} = \vec{v}_{Ps} \times \vec{B} $. This electric field caused efficient field-ionization of Ps* higher than a certain threshold: the maximum excitable $ n_{Ps} $, corresponding to a field-ionization rate of $\approx $ \SI{1}{\giga\hertz}, was $ n_{Ps} \approx 600 \, (9 \, v_{Ps} \, B \sin\theta)^{-1/4} \approx 19 $, where $ \theta = \pi/2$ is the trajectory angle between the individual Ps* trajectories and the magnetic field. \cite{aegis_velocimetry:20}.
\\
Last, a first pulsed cold $\bar{\hbox{H}}${} source was realized by letting $ n_{Ps} = 17 $ Ps* atoms impinge on a cloud of $ \approx 10^6 $ $\bar{\hbox{p}}${} at \SI{400}{\kelvin}, held in a Malmberg-Penning trap with an entrance grid in the upper part of the central electrode to let Ps* fly through. $\bar{\hbox{H}}${} formation was established by comparing $\bar{\hbox{p}}${} annihilation rates in the few \si{\micro\second} after Ps* production with and without the presence of antiprotons, positrons and the excitation laser. A significant excess of annihilations when both antiprotons, positrons and laser are enabled was observed, compatible with a production rate of $ 0.05 $ $\bar{\hbox{H}}${} atoms per cycle of the experiment (\SI{110}{\second}) \cite{aegis_hbar:21}.

	\label{fig:aegis_scheme}
\end{figure}

\section{AE$\bar{\hbox{g}}$IS{} Phase 2}

The success in realizing a first $ \approx $\SI{100}{\nano\second}-pulsed cold $\bar{\hbox{H}}${} source motivated the AE$\bar{\hbox{g}}$IS{} collaboration to continue its $\bar{\hbox{H}}${} physics program for a second major phase of the experiment (\fig{physics_outlook}), whose main goal is to achieve the first proof-of-concept inertial measurement with pulsed $\bar{\hbox{H}}${}. The main limitations of the AE$\bar{\hbox{g}}$IS{} phase 1 approach were identified to be the following: the $\bar{\hbox{H}}${} source intensity has to be increased by $2 \div 3$ orders of magnitude; the temperature of the $\bar{\hbox{p}}${} plasma/produced $\bar{\hbox{H}}${} atoms has to be reduced by 1 order of magnitude; the experiment should be designed for the free-fall to take place in the most homogeneous magnetic field region of the experiment to limit systematic effects due to the magnet fringe-field. These sub-goals, together with the experience gained in producing and exciting Ps* in high magnetic fields, led to a major revision of the experimental scheme used to form $\bar{\hbox{H}}${}.

\begin{figure}[htp]
	\centering
	\includegraphics[width=0.8 \linewidth]{Picture6.png}
	\caption{Outlook on the AE$\bar{\hbox{g}}$IS{} physics programs, underpinning the CERN decelerator schedules (first row), the leading antihydrogen physics program with its Phase 1 and Phase 2 (second row), and the seconday positronium and antiprotonic ions physics programs (third and fourth row).}
	\label{fig:physics_outlook}
\end{figure}

A collinear production scheme (shown in \fig{aegis_scheme}, right) is adopted for AE$\bar{\hbox{g}}$IS{} phase 2, where the $\mathrm{e^+}${}-Ps silica converter target is installed on the same axis as that of the trap. This scheme offers several advantages, at the modest price of a limited opening loss in transmission. First and foremost, the motional Stark effect is cancelled to first order in the trajectory angle $ \theta $, as on average the Ps* atoms' distribution has $ \langle \theta \rangle \approx 0 $. This allows increasing $ n_{Ps} $ and excite Ps to Rydberg levels as high as $ n_{Ps} = 32 $, being limited only by the second-order angular spread of the distribution to cover efficiently the $\bar{\hbox{p}}${} plasma in the trap: a cross-section gain of a factor of 16 is thus realized. Secondly, an up-to 50-fold increase in $\bar{\hbox{p}}${} numbers is expected from the reduced $\bar{\hbox{p}}${} energy of the ELENA accelerator with respect to the former Antiproton Decelerator, leading to a much higher trapping efficiency \cite{aegis_elena:18}. Combining these two enhancements, the $\bar{\hbox{H}}${} production rate will be brought to $1 \div 10 $ atoms for every experiment cycle. Lastly, the final trap of the experiment was fully redesigned: to reduce the number of electrodes and liberate $ \approx \SI{20}{\centi\meter} $ of flight space for the deflectometer; to minimize the RF noise footprint on the electrodes; to enforce a fully cylindrical symmetry and enhance the plasma stability; to embed an active alignment system at cryogenic temperatures to accurately align its axis to that of the magnetic field. These upgrades are meant to reach the state-of-the-art plasma temperatures in traps of $ \approx $ tens of K.

\section{First antiprotons from ELENA}

AE$\bar{\hbox{g}}$IS{} restarted operation on October 20th, 2021, date on which the experiment took its first $\bar{\hbox{p}}${} beam from the ELENA decelerator, equipped with a fully upgraded trap electronics and control system. This was a major upgrade step performed in 2020 (despite the difficulties imposed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic), consisting in the transition from a fully custom solution to a semi-standard LabVIEW/ARTIQ/Sinara software/hardware ecosystem, featuring the high flexibility of the Python-like programming interface of ARTIQ, combined with the \si{\nano\second}-scale hardware synchronization capability of the Sinara hardware and with the solidity of a distributed LabVIEW control system based on the Actor Model of concurrency.
\\
The 2021 run allowed AE$\bar{\hbox{g}}$IS{} to test its upgraded control system, upgraded energy degraders and detection system. Antiprotons from ELENA were successfully imaged and steered on a micro-channel plate detector (MCP) (\fig{pbar_2022}, right), which allowed careful determination of the optimal beam steering for energy degrading. The energy degrading effect from its overall \SI{1600}{\nano\meter} thickness of Parylene N foils was observed, with $ \approx 15 \% $ of the energy distribution of $\bar{\hbox{p}}${} transmitted by the degrader lower than \SI{10}{\kilo\electronvolt}, the threshold for trapping with the current high-voltage electrodes \cite{aegis_spsc:22}. The first trapping of \si{\kilo\electronvolt} $\bar{\hbox{p}}${} was achieved, as shown in \fig{pbar_2022}, left. Trapped $\bar{\hbox{p}}${} were held in the catching trap for a few seconds, before being slowly released and imaged by a scintillation detector by ramping down the high-voltage trapping electrodes in about \SI{5}{\second}.

Right: a micro-channel-plate (MCP) image of the primary ELENA beam, chosen to emphasize the imaging capabilities of this detector to \SI{100}{\kilo\electronvolt} antiproton annihilations.}
	\label{fig:pbar_2022}
\end{figure}

\section{Outlook and future prospects}

AE$\bar{\hbox{g}}$IS{} has recently entered in its second phase (see \fig{physics_outlook}), after the successful demonstration of the first pulsed source of cold $\bar{\hbox{H}}${}, aiming at the first proof-of-concept gravitational measurement with antimatter atoms. In the near future, the collaboration aims at showing that an enhancement in the $\bar{\hbox{H}}${} atoms flux from its source by up to a factor of 100 is possible, as well as reducing the produced atoms' temperature. As the following step, AE$\bar{\hbox{g}}$IS{} aims at forward-boosting the produced $\bar{\hbox{H}}${} to $ \approx 10^3 \,\, \si{\meter\per\second} $, by collectively accelerating the $\bar{\hbox{p}}${} plasma right before the charge-exchange occurs, to impress on the $\bar{\hbox{p}}${} a common axial momentum that is then transferred to the $\bar{\hbox{H}}${} atoms. This will effectively realize a pulsed, forward-boosted beam of transversally-cold $\bar{\hbox{H}}${}, the necessary ingredient for attempting a first gravitational measurement, which is thus possible in the mid future. The parallel development of a suitable deflectometer/interferometer is already ongoing, to develop an instrument able to measure the tiny vertical deflection due to gravity: $ \delta y \approx 0.2 \, \si{\micro\meter} $ for $10^3 \,\, \si{\meter\per\second}$ $\bar{\hbox{H}}${} in the \SI{20}{\centi\meter} baseline available for the experiment.

"As for the identity of the group, I think they are also Ukrainians, but we have no information about this, they are not Serbs"Mr. Stefanovic said during a press conference.
The Minister stressed that this was an agreed transaction with the Bangladesh Ministry of Defence "According to International Rules". "Unfortunately, some media reported that the plane was carrying weapons to Ukraine, which is completely false."He declared.
According to the minister, most of the cargo planes carrying weapons are of Soviet production and are in the possession of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.
"Other than the fact that they are the property of Ukrainian companies, there is no connection between these objects and Ukraine."The minister promised.

Basal reinforcement by geosynthetics of a piled embankment is a current technique, and with more than 20 years of experience, geosynthetics have proved their efficiency in reinforcing the base of embankments. Especially in northern Europe where geosynthetics are widely used in this application, even in difficult conditions.
Nevertheless the optimisation of the design remains a constant need to offer an economical, but also an environmental sustainable solution to the users, designers or contractors. Particularly for the reinforced piled embankment, the developments of soil improvement techniques require rethinking of the models used for the geosynthetics: how to correctly consider the load transfer to the piles and the behaviour of the geosynthetics reinforcement.
In this context, two main projects have been carried out to get a better understanding of the load transfer and then to offer an optimised solution: "ASIRI" (France) and a detailed study based on laboratory tests series by Deltares, an institute in the Netherlands.
As a result of these research programs, the influence of parameters like the fill material, the stiffness and the type and position of geosynthetics have been clearly demonstrated. Additionally, the load distribution between piles and over the geosynthetic has been found to be different from those taken in the standard design models. A new design model is proposed by S V Eekelen, giving results closer to on site measurements.
This presentation proposes to show a synthesis of the latest developments, including real projects examples.

Last year unexpectedly, Sharon and I both felt Called to a Pilgrimage at Uluru. We knew we had to go. We knew we needed for the very first time to go together. We also knew that the Calling was so clear and strong that if the other couldn't go that the Pilgrimage must still happen. This confirmed for us that this journey was Different, not a travel, a trip, an adventure, a nice holiday or even like the significant journeying times we had independently enjoyed. Somehow we had arrived at this juncture of our lives and our relating, to consciously Enter together into Sacred Pilgrimage and to Meet the Extraordinary. Where else but the Centre of Australia to Center our Selves and our Lives to come. Where else to consciously Journey without knowing the details to one of the largest Rocks in the world, a Portal Place of Ancient Heart Wisdoms on this land of Australia. Also a place where many everyday tourists come from all around the world to quickly climb, take photo shots, and say "I have been to the Rock!"
What did we discover? Yes breathtaking beauty, wonderous walks, desert dreamings and mountainous memorable views, and yes a deeper appreciation of the ancient peoples of this land and their resilient remarkable lives and timeless wisdoms. Yet it was How we UnCovered our Selves that was the Magic and Gifts. In the endless stark nakedness of this landscape we Felt into SoulScapes that Transformed us beyond the known. We were Changed forever returning to our everyday as our own Timeless Rock with enduring Dreamings to come. The Sky now Opened for each of Us.

The Commissioners Court has proposed raising the county's tax rate for Fiscal Year 2019 from 53.5 cents to 54.5 cents per $100 valuation. The increase would help offset rising costs criminal-justice, and hopefully aid in attracting and retaining employees.
Floyd said the increase will raise more total property taxes than last year's budget by $1,717,335.48, or 4.98 percent. About $428,681.39 of that amount represents revenue from property added to the tax rolls this year.
The county is required to hold public hearings when it intends to raise taxes or bring in more revenue than the year before even if the tax rate remains unchanged.
According to the proposed budget, revenue is estimated at $47,201,612 and expenses are listed totaling $47,366,996, which translates to a net operating deficit of $165,384.
Lucas wanted to know if any unnecessary bureaucratic programs could be eliminated to save money and keep property taxes from going up.
Judge Floyd welcomed her to look over the budget and bring back some recommendations about programs she feels are not necessary.
Mary Casper then came forward, asking officials what the real story is on unfunded mandates from the state.
Judge Floyd explained that when new rules are handed down as a result of court cases, they tend to impose new financial burdens on counties.
Casper also said she feels it's not right that elected officials in Tom Green County receive longevity pay, which she feels should be reserved for the county's hourly employees.
Becky DeMarinis came forward to tell commissioners she and her husband are worried about how they are going to pay their property taxes in the future, as they keep going up year after year, but the couple is on a fixed income. She said they had to dip into their savings to pay the tax this year.
With no more public comments, the meeting was adjourned.
A second hearing will be at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 23, at the Commissioners Court, 113 W. Beauregard Ave.

Extreme E's radical 400kW, all-terrain electric racer breaks cover at Goodwood
Ahead of making its global debut on the world-famous Goodwood hillclimb at the Festival of Speed, Extreme E Founder Alejandro Agag and Chairman Gil de Ferran pulled the covers off the series' new 500bhp, all-electric racer.
With more people buying into all-electric mobility, EV launches are fast becoming the norm in the wonderful world of cars. That said, there's nothing normal about the latest EV launch to take place on the opening Friday of the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Welcome, one and all, to ODYSSEY 21 - the new all-electric, off-road challenger leading the charge in the new all-terrain motorsport series Extreme E.
Launched in February this year, Extreme E is a new racing series designed to highlight the impact of climate change on some of the world's most fragile ecosystems. Following in the footsteps of its sister series, the ABB FIA Formula E Championship, Extreme E will help promote and accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles to help protect the planet and reduce air pollution.
Pitching electric, all-wheel cars against each other in some of the most testing environments on the planet, the series' founder Alejandro Agag revealed the latest prototype at a launch event at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Made up of standardised parts manufactured by Spark Racing Technology and a battery produced by Williams Advanced Engineering, the 400kW (550hp) ODYSSEY 21 is capable of hitting 100km/h (62mph) in 4.5 seconds, while tackling gradients of up to 130 per cent.
Under the sleek body work, sits a niobium-reinforced steel alloy tubular frame, as well as crash structure and roll cage. Keeping the cars planted is the job of the tyres, designed for both extreme winter and summer requirements, which were developed by founding partner and tyre specialists Continental.
"The Extreme E-SUV ODYSSEY 21 is unlike anything else in motorsport," said Alejandro Agag, Founder and CEO of Formula E - operating partner of Extreme E. "The cutting-edge technology our industry-leading partners have employed in its design and construction has resulted in a stunning car, capable of the highest performance in the toughest and most varied environments on the planet.
"Extreme E's combination of top-level sporting competition and ultra-demanding environments will also prove to be a significant research and development platform for manufacturers, driving further advancements in sustainable mobility."
After breaking cover, the Spark Racing Technology-built ODYSSEY 21 headed up the world-famous Goodwood hillclimb, completing its first demonstration run in the shadow of Goodwood House. The run comes just one week after the full initial build of the prototype car was completed at the Spark factory in Tigery, France.

From the get-go, teams will be able to test and develop their own powertrain and select areas of bodywork, such as the engine cover, front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and lights to reflect everyday road car models.
"Our challenge was to build a car that could face all the variations in surface and terrain that will be thrown its way, which will include gravel, rock, mud, ice, snow, water and sand, too," said Theophile Gouzin, Technical Director of Spark Racing Technology.
"Straight out-of-the-box in Season 1, the ODYSSEY 21 and its performance is going to be very impressive, exceeding the power and torque of World Rally Championship and rally raid cars. The numbers are mind-blowing, really.
"The torque and power density from the powertrain is also a breakthrough. We're getting huge figures from a small package, which means lighter weight, space savings and ultimately improved economy.
"All of this innovation and these lessons learned, are transferable from race-car to road – ultimately benefiting the consumer and the sustainable mobility cause."
With races planned in glacial, rainforest, artic, mountainous and desert ecosystems, Extreme E will put the teams, drivers and cars through their paces in some of the most testing but fragile environments in the world.
"Whether it's in the Arctic, Himalayas, Amazon, Sahara or on Indian Ocean Islands, this car will showcase the ability of E-SUVs, not only to motorsports enthusiasts, but also to consumers who are looking to make their own difference to the planet by choosing an electric SUV," added Agag.

Missouri Forget-Me-Not Horse Rescue and Sanctuary Wins ASPCA Help a Horse Day Prize for their Efforts to Find More Homes for Horses
September 11, 2018 missourimag Featured Article, Stories 0
More than 1,000 horses adopted across the country during the fifth annual #HelpAHorse contest
MISSOURI FORGET-ME-NOT-HORSE RESCUE AND SANCTUARY has been awarded a $5,000 prize from the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) as part of its national Help a Horse Day contest. The nationwide competition for rescues, shelters, animal control agencies and sanctuaries that adopt out equines is designed to raise awareness about the year- round lifesaving work they do to find homes for horses. MFMN was awarded a prize for Runner Up in Division I (large organizations) based on their performance in the contest. Division winners were scored based on their number of adoptions and the dollar value of donations received during the contest period, along with the quality of their adoption video and campaign. More than 100 groups across the country participated in the contest, with 19 groups winning 23 prizes for their efforts during the contest, which ran from April 26 to June 30.
MFMN kicked off their adoption campaign with the 1st Annual MFMN Adoption Jamboree, which was a 3 day event held on April 27-29, 2018 at Rolling Hills Ranch, just south of Camdenton, in conjunction with Help A Horse Day. Twenty-three adopted horses were showcased at the event and each horse's adopter told a story about the joys of adopting a Rescue horse. Donna Ogle, V.P of MFMN and Chairperson for the event stated that MFMN's campaign message was, "We want to SHOW YOU how much fun it can be to own an adopted horse, and we encourage you to consider adoption when looking for a horse for yourself or your family. Adopted horses can change people's lives for the better, and adopting a horse, that has been put at-risk through no fault of its own, is a very rewarding experience. MFMN has wonderful horses that are ready for adoption".
Chad Johnson, professional horse trainer, exhibited the horses available for adoption, and potential adopters were able to talk to the Chad about each horse. He also held a free clinic for people interested in adopting a horse. A total of 29 horses were adopted during the contest period.
One of the adopted horses introduced at the event is a great great grandson of Secretariat. When MFMN took him in from a family that could no longer care for him, they found a tattoo number on his lip. Further research revealed his racing career in Louisiana and subsequent retirement. Haylee Bohn adopted Cyclone's Prayer last January. Since then she has been training him and he is now a part of the Easy Rider's Drill Team, the Springfield Pony Club, and the JJeventing Pro Eventing Team. Cyclone and Haylee performed as part of the Easy Rider's Drill Team at the Kentucky Horse Park in July during Bryerfest. They will also be riding in various eventing shows and Pony Club events around the Midwest. This is what can happen when a Horse Rescue, like MFMN takes in a "throw-away" horse, and gives them a second chance with a loving adoptive family.
MFMN also conducted a Matching Campaign Challenge in June, in which they raised over $48,000 including a $20,000 matching fund donation from a generous anonymous supporter of the Sanctuary. Over Memorial Day weekend, Kelly's Port in Osage Beach, MO, put on a "Ponies at the Pump" promotion at their marina on the Lake of the Ozarks, to help raise funds for MFMN for the contest, and MFMN held several other fundraisers during the contest period raising more than $75,000 in total. MFMN shelters more than 130 horses at its Sanctuary in Linn Creek and affiliated foster homes in the local area. The annual budget of nearly $200,000 goes directly to provide shelter, feed, farrier care and veterinary care for the horses. MFMN is staffed entirely by volunteers, and no one receives a salary.
"The ASPCA Help a Horse Day contest is a wonderful opportunity for MFMN to raise awareness about the horses we have available for adoption and place them in good homes," said Connie Hendrix, Founder and Executive Director of the Missouri Forget- Me-Not Horse Rescue and Sanctuary. "We are thrilled to receive this award from the ASPCA to support our commitment to providing care for horses in need and we are
grateful to our local community for joining us in this challenge and lending their support during the contest to help us find loving homes for horses."
Motivated by the results of ASPCA equine research suggesting there could be approximately 2.3 million adults in the U.S. with both the resources and desire to adopt a horse in need, Help a Horse Day 2018 focused on finding more good homes for horses.
"The primary goal of Help a Horse Day is to elevate equine welfare. This year we challenged groups to focus their efforts on adoption and we were blown away by the incredible progress they made towards finding homes for the horses in their care," said Dr. Emily Weiss, vice president of ASPCA Equine Welfare. "We are pleased to award this prize to Missouri Forget-Me-Not Horse Rescue and Sanctuary for their outstanding achievements during the contest, which contributed to more than 1,000 horses finding new homes."
Help a Horse Day is celebrated annually on April 26 – a date chosen for its significance in the ASPCA's long history of horse protection. In 1866, ASPCA founder Henry Bergh stopped a cart driver from beating his horse, resulting in the first successful arrest for horse mistreatment on April 26 of that year. Now in its fifth year, Help a Horse Day has been a meaningful way for hundreds of equine rescues and sanctuaries to garner community support for their lifesaving work. Since 2014, the ASPCA has awarded equine groups more than $400,000 in grant funding through the Help a Horse Day contest.

Q: Creating menu of "n" sub menus in CSS I am trying to create a horizontal menu bar that when you hover over it, it drops down a list of submenus.  I also want these submenus to be able to contain any number of submenus.  Does anyone know how I would accomplish this?
Everything I have found so far from searching only works by listing out CSS for each level, and this would only work for a set number of submenus.

Can I get money from my 401(k) at 55?
For many Americans, the balance of their 401(k) account is one of the biggest financial assets they own.
But 401(k) plans are meant to help you save for retirement, so there are age restrictions that impose penalties if you take money out before reaching a certain age.
Yet even though the general age at which penalty-free distributions are typically available from tax-advantaged retirement accounts is 59 1/2, there are situations in which you can get access to a 401(k) account as early as age 55 without paying a penalty.
Not everyone who's 55 has the ability to use this provision. Below, you'll learn more about what many call the "rule of 55" and how it can work for you.
In general, 401(k) withdrawals share many of the same rules that IRA withdrawals have. You can usually take withdrawals once you turn 59 1/2 without paying a 10% penalty, and there are also some exceptions that apply for withdrawals for certain purposes. For instance, if you take money out of an IRA or 401(k) for unreimbursed medical expenses to the extent that they're greater than 10% of your adjusted gross income, then you won't owe a penalty if you use IRA or 401(k) money to pay them. Similarly, distributions to qualified military reservists called to active duty can be penalty-free for both types of accounts.
However, there are some rules where the two retirement accounts differ. IRA withdrawals are available penalty-free for items like qualified higher education expenses or up to $10,000 toward a first-time home purchase, but 401(k) withdrawals aren't penalty-free even if used for the same purpose.
What the 401(k) has in its favor is the ability to get penalty-free withdrawals as early as age 55. However, there's a big catch: In order to qualify, you have to leave your job with the employer holding your 401(k) plan account, and you have to wait until the year in which you turn 55 to leave employment.
A former employer's 401(k) where you stopped working for that employer before the year you turned 55.
Your 401(k) account with your present employer for whom you're still working.
Your rollover IRA into which you transferred your 401(k) money after you quit your job, even if you quit at 55 or after.
In each of those situations, the older requirement of age 59 1/2 will apply.
The restrictions of the rule of 55 make it vital to use smart planning techniques. First and foremost, you need to time your early retirement so that you don't leave your job before the year in which you'll turn 55. One of the most common misunderstandings of the rule is that if you quit at 54, you can simply wait a year and then start taking penalty-free withdrawals. The timing needs to work.
Second, if you want to maximize the amount of access you have to make penalty-free withdrawals, you need to roll over as much money as possible that doesn't qualify into your current employer's 401(k) plan account before you retire. Many companies allow you to transfer 401(k) balances from old employers into the new employer account, and you can also often move IRA money that was previously rolled over back into a 401(k). Whatever's in the current employer's 401(k) account when you quit working will potentially qualify.
Finally, remember not to roll over your eligible 401(k) account into an IRA after quitting at 55 or older. Doing so will lose the exemption and subject you to penalties until you hit 59 1/2.
Having access to money is vital for retirees, especially if you end up having to retire early unexpectedly. Knowing the rules about getting access to 401(k) at 55 or older can be a lifesaver for your finances.


Atlanta Hawks' Theo Ratliff (42) battles Chicago Bulls' Donyell Marshall, right, and Marcus Fizer (21) for a loose ball during the fourth quarter Saturday, Nov. 2, 2002, in Atlanta. The Theo Ratliff Foundation is one of the partners for the 2018 Atlanta Peace Games.
Who would win in a basketball game between Atlanta cops and retired Hawks players? We're about to find out.
The Atlanta Police Department will host the city's first Peace Games on Saturday, Sept. 8, at the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation and Aquatic Center. The free and public game will be played at 11:30 a.m., after local youth are able to have private conversations with Hawks alumni and APD officers, a press release said.
The original Peace Game was held in Chicago in 2012 through a partnership between Connor Sports, a local church and NBA players. Established as a way to address social issues through sports, youth and communities, it has since expanded to other cities including Los Angeles, New Orleans and Philadelphia.
Connor Sports provides court upgrades and event management support for the Peace Games. NBA Cares and the Theo Ratliff Foundation, an Atlanta-based foundation from a former Atlanta Hawk, have also partnered for the Atlanta event. The Hawks will provide gift bags and merchandise.

Q: onchange of FilteringSelect do not work Same code I'm using of dojo documentation
just downloaded code work fine but onchange event do not fire on my project.
I have make it to work by firing onblur onBlur: function(){alert(3)}
What thing may cause onchange  event not fire?
var filteringSelect = new FilteringSelect({
        id: "stateSelect",
        name: "state",
        value: "CA",
        store: stateStore,
        searchAttr: "name",
        onChange: function(){alert(3)}
    }, "stateSelect");

A: Just put different id on the array like:
var stateStore = new Memory({
        data: [
            {name:"Alabama", id:"AL"},
            {name:"Alaska", id:"AK"}
              ]
});

*

*If there is no id on your Array, onChange event will not fire

*If the value of two id are same, onChange event will fire just for the first time.

A: I think something else is wrong since it's working fine here. I even made a JSFiddle to show it's working.
Also, there is another way (I think it's more preferred too) by using the dojo/on module:
on(filteringSelect, 'change', function() {
       alert(3);
});

Another JSFiddle to demonstrate this can be found here.

Wolverine Fell Wilderness & Nature Ltd.
Come and experience a day nature adventure near Levi ski resort in Finnish Lapland. We offer reindeer safaris, ice fishing trips, snowshoe, kicksled and hunting excursions, rounding up of reindeer, bog hikes and for groups competitions in wilderness skills.
If nothing suitable available in the online shop above, please, send a request by the form below.
This location is off the beaten track, but what a location. Petra is a fantastic guide/host with a great sense of humour, which makes for a very relaxed and easy environment.
The Reindeer sleigh into the Forest upto the lake is magical and the Ice fishing and snow shoeing great fun. Icing on the Cake was our Daughter was the only one to catch a fish and she is still reliving the experience now with great pride, nice touch of a little certificate detailing the size of fish caught ( 34cm) , cannot recommend this enough.
This is an absolute must-do in my books. We reached there and was warmly welcomed by Petra, our guide. Her instructions to us on how to drive the sleigh and do ice-fishing were clearly explained, peppered with a good dose of humour. There was never a dull moment with Petra.
The reindeer herder clearly knows his reindeers' temperament well, and carefully matched his reindeers to the right person. And after the sleigh-ride, we had the chance to feed the reindeers with lichen.
Ice-fishing and snow-shoeing were new and great experiences, and we thoroughly enjoyed them, but what I really appreciated is that it happened to be my son's 7th birthday that day, and the fish that he caught was grilled and served with a candle like a birthday cake! And the birthday boy even got to go home with a special gift from the reindeer herder! It completely made his day and he couldn't stop beaming.
Oh! And the salmon soup that was served at the end of everything? Sensational. The kids all went for double or triple portions, and they still talk about it now.
You absolutely have to do this. We went with our four kids ranging 1-12 ( ice fishing and reindeer sleigh ride). We were extremely happy with our experience. The reindeer ride is a lot more exciting than you would expect. Petra was extremely accommodating and friendly. Lunch ( salmon soup) was great. Our 3 year old daughter was excited to be "Princess Anna" out of Frozen for the day. Our 12 year old twin boys who are usually not that easily impressed loved this activity. We can highly recommend this experience. Great value.

The Ahantas are an Akan people who live to the north of the Nzema. Ahanta literally means the land of Twins. The Ahanta land has been historically known as one of the richest areas on the coast of what is now Ghana.
The country of Ahanta, in what is now the Western Region of the Republic of Ghana, comprised a regional power in the form of a confederacy of chiefdoms which had come in early contact with the European nations settling on the Gold Coast for the purpose of trade.[1]
The Ahantas like their fellow Akan people migrated from the antique Akan kingdom of Bono state.
In 1656 signed the Treaty of Butre and agreed to become a protectorate of the Dutch. This treaty lasted until 1872. This ended up being one of the longest treaties signed between an African state and a European state. The relationship between the Ahanta and the Dutch was at times volatile. This includes when an Nzima chief, Gyan-Kɔne seized Groot Fort Freidrichsburg. Other incidents include one in 1837 when the king of Ahanta, Baidoo Bonsoe II (Badu Bonsu II), rebelled against the Dutch government, and killed several officers, including acting governor Tonneboeijer because of his dislike of how the Dutch operated in his region. He was later killed and had his head taken used for experiments at Leiden University Medical Center in The Netherlands. The head was returned in 2009 [2]
Drawing of Badu Bonsu II made by a Dutch lieutenant, 1838
The Ahanta people celebrate the Kundum festival. Kundum is a harvest festival and involves dancing, drumming, and feasting. It was in its original state a religious festival that was used to expel evil spirits from the town. Today, Kundum is celebrated as a way to preserve the culture of the Ahanta people and neighboring Nzema. The festival used to be one month long, but has been condensed to eight days.
Ahantas practice traditional African religion, Christianity, and Islam to a lesser extent.

Christian rugby player committed 'high level breach' of player conduct, panel finds
By Christian Today Staff Writer
Israel Folau is one of the stars of Wallaby rugby (David Molloy Photography)
Australian rugby player Israel Folau is waiting to hear what punishment awaits him after a three-person panel concluded he committed a "high level" breach of player conduct over a controversial post about gay people.
Folau was stood down by Rugby Australia last month after he posted an image to Instagram with text saying that "hell awaits" homosexuals among others unless they repent.
The hearing was held after Folau, a Christian, challenged the action taken against him by Rugby Australia. The hearing ran into a third day on Tuesday after reaching a stalemate.
The 30-year-old, who plays for the Wallabies, has divided opinion in the rugby world but also among Christians.
Writing about the row over Folau's post, Brian Houston, senior pastor of the Australian-based Hillsong Church, suggested in the Sydney Morning Herald that the star player's comments had been "harsh".
"In 40 years of telling people about the good news of Jesus, I have seen that the 'turn or burn', approach to proclaiming the message of Christianity alienates people. Scaring people doesn't draw them into the love of Jesus," he said.
He added, "The world doesn't need more judgmental Christians."
The row over Folau's social media post spread far beyond Australia when English rugby player Billy Vunipola defended him.
Vunipola was summoned by the Rugby Football Union after writing on his Instagram in defence of Folau's post: "Man was made for woman to pro create that was the goal no?"
The comments were deemed homophobic and he was given a warning.
Pete Nicholas, a former rugby player and trustee of Christians in Sport, defended both Folau and Vunipola, saying that they were victims of Western ideological colonialism and that players should be allowed to discuss their values openly.
"Folau and Vunipola's posts have received many likes from those from South Pacific Island heritage who are feeling the New Colonial steamroller coming their way," he said.
"But the momentum of the Western consensus is now so strong that few have noticed this worrying dynamic and its ugly historical precedents. Few have noticed the irony of the intolerance of the culture of 'tolerance'."
Laurence Wilkinson, legal counsel at ADF International, said that the actions against Folau sent a "chilling message" to other players who share his views.
"Isreal Folau could certainly have expressed his views in a more sensitive manner, but to be fired for expressing them at all would, in my view, be an absolutely travesty for freedom of expression in sport," he wrote in the Spectator.
"To suggest that the removal of Folau is in the pursuit of 'tolerance and respect' makes a mockery of the terms, and as some of Folau's teammates have already noted, it sends out a chilling message to all those who share his views.
"If Rugby Australia's management genuinely wants the sport to be 'inclusive for all', it needs to start by including players that it disagrees with."
Folau's own family has leapt to his defence in light of the furore.
His father, Eni Folau, a church pastor, told the 7News network on Monday: "Israel does not do any wrong at all, all the words he posted doesn't come from him, it comes from the Bible."
His cousin, Josiah Folau, said: "The important thing for us is not so much the outcome, but how the glory of God is revealed throughout this situation and that his truth is preached to the whole world."

text: There's wine judging and then there's good judgement about wine. Often, they're different things. Wine judges tend toward the high-brow and technical, whereas the art of making sound decisions around wine procurement for a venue like ICC Sydney is a different beast entirely. Wilson, who bagged the hotly contested role of ICC Sydney sommelier, has a long history of delighting punters by serving drinks that comfortably straddle the divide between quality and accessibility. With a background in running pubs in his home country of Scotland, Wilson has hospitality in his blood and, prior to his arrival in sunny Sydney 20 years ago, was controversially a beer man. It was only because Aussie beer wasn't up to par that he developed an interest in wine. While things have certainly changed on the brewing front, Wilson is still heavily entrenched in the vinous world, and says that he tasted over one thousand wines to put the ICC Sydney list together. To compile the list, ICC asked Australian winemakers to send in samples, with a specific focus on NSW wines, and Wilson, along with a group of other ICC staff, tasted their way through priced brackets that ranged from cheapest to most expensive. The wine list that arose from this process is proudly 80 per cent New South Welsh in origin, with the remaining 20 per cent coming from other areas of Australia. The sheer purchasing power of a business like ICC Sydney has meant that they have had to carefully manage the procurement process to ensure consistency in supply. With every new vintage comes the need to tweak the wine list and Wilson says he is always on the look out for new stuff. Despite the decision to focus on Australian-produced beverages, Wilson says that they're not militant about enforcing 'Australian only'. If a client wants Champagne, or Cloudy Sauvignon Blanc or Japanese whiskies, he says that is fine with him. Wilson is particularly proud of his beverage packages and says, "Previously function wines were all about price. Now it's about value for quality. Pricing-wise, we're the same as the big hotels". In terms of what's coming up, the next thing on the agenda for Wilson is putting together the beverage options for a laneway bar that is set to open near the theatre-end of the building in the coming months. n Wilson's top beverage trends Here's what to serve at your next event if you want to delight fashion-forward guests. 1. Aperol Spritz 2. Prosecco 3. Rose and Frose if it's hot outside 4. Mulled wine and cider in the cooler months 5. Whiskies of the world MEET ICC SYDNEY SOMMELIER WILLIAM WILSON Spice sat down with Wilson for a chat about what it takes to put together a world-class drinks list and why ICC Sydney is the darling of the NSW wine scene. 20 Spice May 2017 Food and Beverage

Google amidst Yet Another Data-Related Scandal: Everything About "Project Nightingale" So Far
Terenty Marinich
"Don't be evil" hasn't been on unofficial Google's motto for quite some time to date. Some of the latest events connected with healthcare data show us why.
In this blog post, we'll try to follow the whole chain of events of "Project Nightingale", it's revealing to the general public by Wall-Street Journal, Google's follow-up of the 'excitement about the cooperation' and the FBI investigations that followed.
We will acknowledge all the facts regarding the data-sharing project, it's development, complication and everything that is known to the general public. We'll speculate on the matter and try to figure out, whether it is "not a big deal" really, or there are some worrying moments.
Spoiler alert: we don't buy the integrity and honesty of each and every one of 150 Google employees who got access to the big archive of patients' data.
Google to Store and Analyze Millions of Health Records
Google tries to find ways of proper application and expansion of utilizing artificial intelligence in their healthcare-related activities.
As part of these efforts of the tech company, they acquired Ascension, catholic healthcare organization, one of the biggest in the US. Ascension claim they are delivering medical healthcare to all, focusing on people living in poverty, hence those who can't afford it.
Source:cnn.com
According to financial documents, Ascension provided $2 billion in healthcare money via community benefit programs. They operate at 2,600 facilities (including 150 hospitals and 50+ senior living sights) across 20 states. Among the services provided by the company are physician practice management, venture capital investing, investment management, biomedical engineering, facilities management, clinical care management, information services, and risk management.
So how do both parties cooperate exactly? According to the statements released, Google helps to store and analyze the data of millions of patients at their cloud computing platform.
Though it is legal for health systems to share patients' medical information with their business partners for certain matters, Google proves not to be trustworthy. The company was fined multiple times in the past for privacy laws violations as they disclosed personal medical data.
Google claimed they've announced the arrangement in a July report but this is hardly could be called a loud announcement. The Wall Street Journal publication made the hell break loose.
The New York Times posses internal documents that open sme insights on how the two companies (Google and Ascension) cooperate. In the moment, they are testing the software that allows medical providers make a search of patient's EHR filtered by categories.
The overall goal is to provide physicians with the better access to patient data, hance improve the quality of the care due to visualized insights gotten from the data that has potential to help treatment.
It is a part with Google's competition with other tech giants for medical expansion. Apple uses medical research virtual medical research data from iPhones and watches. Microsoft, in turn, introduced cloud-based tools to help health systems share medical data.
Google announced plans to acquire Fitbit, a producer of activity tracking devices, for $2.1 billion. The company assured in advance that health data received from the trackers will not be used for ads.
In case with Ascension, no pre-emptive statement were released. Under the Ascension partnership, certain number of Google employees receive access to patient data that could be considered sensitive. Name, birthdate, race, illnesses and treatment are available to some members of Medical Brain, Google's AI health team.
Some of Ascension employees were concerned about the fact Google associates downloaded these data, according to the internal documents. Also, it is unclear whether HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) was violated during the processing of patient's data.
It is important to note that after WSJ article saw the light, Ascension representatives said that the deal WAS complied with the law. They also claimed that Google could not use it for any purpose other than providing tools for Ascension medical providers.
The next day after the article by WSJ saw the light, on November, 12th, Google Cloud released official statement regarding the situation as media expressed concerns and wanted blood.
Tariq Shaukat, the president of Google Cloud, said in the statement "we hope to transform the delivery of health care."
Source:bbc.com
Ascension did not respond to questions about how many patient records had already been transferred to Google Cloud.
Google's handling of healthcare data is a touchy subject. DeepMind outraged privacy groups in 2018 when it announced plans to transfer the unit that processed the medical records to Google, after saying that it would not link patient data to Google accounts.
DeepMind's health team officially joined Google in September, 2019. In absorbing DeepMind's health unit, Google said, it was building "an AI-powered assistant for nurses and doctors."
In "Project Nightingale" Google also claimed that they "do not combine data across partners, and we would not be allowed to under our agreements or the law".
Previous Data-Related Scandals and Current Investigations
In June, Google and two universities the University of Chicago Medical Center were sued accusing the hospital of sharing hundreds of thousands of patients' records. The lawsuit said the inclusion of dates was a violation of HIPAA as Google could combine them with other information it already knew, like location data from smartphones, to establish the identity of the patients in the medical records.
The records have been stripped of identifying details like names, Social Security numbers and contact information. A Google spokesman said at the time that it had followed HIPAA. Google has filed to have the lawsuit dismissed. The University of Chicago and the medical centre have denied the accusations.
Now, CBSnews report that government officials are asking for more information about "Project Nightingale,". The Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services claimed they"would like to learn more information about this mass collection of individuals' medical records with respect to the implications for patient privacy under HIPAA". These are the exact word of Roger Severino, director of the civil rights office.
Why We Care So Much? (Conclusion)
We are not a media website. We can't claim that we are somehow connected with professional journalism. In fact, our blog doesn't contain posts like these – you can check it, we're not highlighting the scandals around the industry.
However, we do care about personal data protection. Some of our healthcare projects took twice the time they could have lasted hence we wouldn't complete every single item needed for HIPAA compliance.
We strongly believe that no matter how big is the tech giant, it has to obey the rules just like any other company. Hopefully, this is the case here as well.
The fact that the government is involved is worrisome, but maybe, the data wasn't leaked and won't be used for ads or some other activities potentially harmful to the patients. We'll keep an eye on the situation.


If you are a professional athlete or an aspiring athlete, then it's no doubt that optimal performance is one of the main goals that you hope to achieve. Perhaps you have received alot of advice from different people about how to improve your athletic performance. Unfortunately, not everyone has the right information concerning this. Luckily, this doesn't have to be the case for you.
As an athlete, you spend many hours training and working out. This leads to a lot of sweating, whereby body fluids and electrolytes are lost. In order to replenish your body, it is important to closely monitor your fluid intake. This ensures that you don't become dehydrated. Some experts recommend that you should take in fluids at the rate of 600-800 miles per hour. However, this amount could vary depending on your weight, level of activity and other variables.
The food that you eat is the main source of energy that your body uses to achieve peak energy and athletic performance. Thus, it's no secret that a healthy diet is an important part of any athlete's life. However, you may be asking yourself, 'How do I know the right foods to take and the correct quantities?' Well, this is a great question. An easy way to solve this problem is by visiting your local nutritionist and then working with them to develop an individualized nutritional program that will work for you.
As the popular saying goes, 'Practice makes perfect'. Hence, if you want to improve your athletic performance, then you definitely need to train consistently. If you feel like you aren't seeing any positive results with your current training regime, then why not tweak the system? You can go to your coach or a mentor for expert advice on what you should change in your training routine so that you can attain maximum effectiveness and an improved athletic performance.
When supplements are mentioned, most people automatically assume that these are illegal chemical-laden products which cause terrible side effects. In reality, this isn't the case for all performance-enhancing drugs. There are many supplements that provide a wide array of benefits with minimal side effects. Although there are some supplements that are banned during competitive sports, there is still a large number of products that are completely legal and safe to use. If you would like to learn more about which type of supplements would suit you best, visit flexmastergeneral.com/what-supplements-do-professional-athletes-use.
Getting enough rest is an important aspect that contributes greatly to helping athletes achieve peak performance. According to WebMD.com, numerous studies have shown that good sleep can improve reaction time, accuracy and speed in athletes. It is recommended that you should get at least 7-8 hours of sleep every night in order to ensure that you're fully alert and productive during the day.

COZY: BLM leader lives in home owned by Soros' Open Society board member - TheAmericanMirror.com
COZY: BLM leader lives in home owned by Soros' Open Society board member
By Ryan Girdusky
#BlackLivesMatter leader DeRay Mckesson may claim to be leading a grassroots revolution for racial and economic justice, but he has close connections with the privileged and elite.
Mckesson lives in a home owned by philanthropists James and Robin Wood in Baltimore, Maryland.
It's the same address he used when declaring his residency on his campaign committee registration form for his failed mayoral run in the city's Democratic primary earlier this year.
The Woods have owned the home since 1996 and are wealthy donors to the Baltimore chapter of George Soros' Open Society Institute.
Robin is so active that she was made a board member of the far-left non-profit back in 2008, according to the OSI's website.
The OSI site describes the Williams:
They moved to Baltimore in 1995, when Jimmy had the opportunity to return to his hometown to become director of the orthopedic faculty practice at Sinai Hospital. For the past five years, he has been chief of orthopedics at Harbor Hospital and Robin threw herself into nonprofit work in Baltimore, first with the Community Law Center. She has served on the boards of Associated Black Charities, Safe and Sound, the Baltimore School for the Arts and the Baltimore Community Foundation boards. In 2008, Robin joined the OSI-Baltimore board of directors. She is also now attending the University Of Maryland School of Law.
Soros groups have had several connections to #BlackLivesMatter organizers and activists.
According to Politico, the Soros backed group The Democracy Alliance donated to several race-based movement organizations that ally with the #BlackLivesMatter movement.
Internal documents from Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment, a group organizing the protests in Ferguson after the death of Michael Brown, showed activists being paid.
Infowars reported:
…MORE was one of the groups that received a share of the $33 million invested into the #BlackLivesMatter movement by billionaire George Soros.
On Monday, the Balimore Sun reported the 31-year-old agitator Mckesson is making a handsome salary courtesy of Baltimore school district taxpayers.
In his new role, Mckesson is earning a salary of $165,000 as the district's third chief of human capital in two years, and manage of a budget of $4 million and 56 employees.
After being appointed last month, Mckesson said he was ready to get to work.
"At its core, this role is about finding great people, matching them to the right role, and helping them to develop and experience careers in the service of our kids," he said. "I am excited to return to city schools … and to continue doing the work to ensure that every child in Baltimore City receives a world-class education."

HomeAccueil > Our Platform > A Principled Approach to Foreign Policy
We will lead by example and help make the world a safe, just, prosperous, and sustainable place.
For more than 150 years, Canada and Canadians have made their mark on the world – showing courage and honour in the face of war, working hard to build lasting peace and prosperity for millions of people, and leading the way in fighting climate change. That didn't happen by accident, and it won't continue without effort.
We will build on these accomplishments and continue to move forward with a principled approach that puts democracy, human rights, international law, and environmental protection at the heart of foreign policy. We will:
establish the Canadian Centre for Peace, Order, and Good Government, which will lend expertise and help to people seeking to build peace, advance justice, promote human rights and democracy, and deliver good governance;
provide international institutions like the International Criminal Court, the World Trade Organization, and others, with additional resources to better enforce international law;
introduce a permanent, dedicated refugee stream to provide safe haven for human rights advocates, journalists, and humanitarian workers at risk, with a target of helping resettle as many as 250 people a year;
take a leadership role in ensuring the ethical use of new technology, by developing and supporting international protocols to ban the development and use of fully autonomous weapons systems; and
build on the Magnitsky sanctions regime we have put in place, by developing a framework to transfer seized assets from those who commit grave human rights abuses to their victims, with appropriate judicial oversight.


Good morning! Fellow Forever 51'er Kathy Wallace said when she saw the section cover shot of herself, her head popped off! Haha — Gosh, mine too. They did a beautiful job reproducing the soft pink, icy silver and matte black colors of the photo.
Fun faux fur, classic silhouettes in classic materials, and quilted puffers infused with advanced scientific technology top the trends for this winter's coat fashion.
A plush faux fur coat in blush pink Kathy wore in this linked blog post.
A fun fur that can be dressed up or down.
Shoppers at The Consortium, 6423 Avondale Drive, are selecting more classic coat options this season, according to owner Meghan Spears.
A black velvet coat, black fur hat, and black leather glove — a mix of classic textures and shapes that is sophisticated and timeless. Kathy wore the ensemble in this blog post.
"Real black leather with a touch of charcoal wool houndstooth trim, a polished full-length black leather trench with a silver zipper detail belted at the waist, a salt-and-pepper wool tweed in a short pea-coat style – these have a lot of appeal and can work for any shape at any age," said Spears, describing some of the options available in her store now.
"Actually, a mix of pattern and fabrics is a modern and sophisticated look for this season," she added.
Gretta Sloane is located at 6476 Avondale Drive.
With temperatures below normal, and various deep freezes, blizzards, and frostbite warnings across the country, more practical fashionistas are investigating new technologies to stay warm in the deepest part of winter. They are looking for high performance without added bulk.
Outdoor clothing manufacturer The North Face™ uses a synthetic fiber called PrimaLoft® in its ThermoBall™ line that mimics down to trap heat within small air pockets in the clusters. The result is a collection of svelte, colorful, quilted jackets and vests that offer the warmth equivalent to 600-fill goose down, according to the company.

Columbia Sportswear offers "Omni-Heat Reflective" jackets with silver-dotted linings that reflect and retain the body's heat, in the same way NASA-developed, silver thermal blankets help stabilize marathon runners after the challenging run.
Patagonia, an outdoor clothier known for a focus on sustainability, also uses PrimaLoft® in its Nano Puff® line of jackets, vests and pants. Additionally, the polyester shell and lining are made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled materials.
New, more strategic quilting, in narrower bands and in certain areas, helps sculpt a more flattering shape for all the high-performance puffer coats mentioned.
The puffer coat is no longer shapeless, now offering svelte beauty as well as high-performance outdoor adventure.

I read the newspaper article and it was terrific and appreciate the blog, and instagram information. regarding the articles you are writing. Keep the great work going. Thank You so much.


The owner constructed an enormous addition to the home just to accommodate this insanely massive tank. From the skimmer to the RODI system, quarantines systems to UV sterilizers, everything on this build is simply nuts. Truly inspiring build that we all dream of.
Its still in the early stages and this post documents the build which is probably the most impressive. Its nice that the owner took the time to post details and photos of the build knowing the reefing community would love it. I can not wait to see this thing full of coral and fish. I am sure they will be just as remarkable as the build istelf.
Here are some my favourites photos from the build. Hundreds more can be found on the original thread by clicking here. These are the photos I felt summed up the build pretty well.


Fur tends to elicit a strong reaction; very few people consider themselves "neutral" on the topic. Regardless of whether you're for or against fur - shoppers have the right to receive accurate, detailed information about what they choose to purchase online. GS1 is leading the charge in trying to accomplish this with their e-commerce extended attribute guidelines for apparel.
These extended attribute guidelines will require suppliers and retailers to inform online shoppers whether fur is real or faux, the type of animal the item was made from, the fur's country of origin, and how it was treated.
Can you imagine how devastating that would be for an anti-fur advocate -purchasing a jacket that has "faux fur trim" only to see a "Made From Real Fur" tag on the item when it arrives? Or even worse, be completely unaware of the fact that the apparel was made from real fur until you receive an apology note from the retailer who sold it to you? As recently as December of 2014, apparel items that were labeled as "faux fur" were revealed as real fur when they were lab-tested.
Ensuring that consumers aren't buying real fur when they hoped for faux isn't the only way the fur industry will be impacted. Consumers who have no qualms about buying "Authentic Animal Fur" might be less enthusiastic when they see "rabbit" "raccoon" or "raccoon dog" listed in the product details of an e-commerce website.
Country of origin may impact the industry too. China is one of the few countries with virtually no regulations around fur farming, which means that there is no obligation to use humane practices or accurately report what animal the fur was made from. On many separate occasions, fur originating in China was revealed to be inaccurately labeled as mink or fox when it was actually the fur of raccoons, raccoon dogs, and sadly, domestic dogs and cats. Consumers are less likely to think about the implications of their purchase if the e-commerce site they're shopping on doesn't include the "country of fur origin" information. There's a reason "out of sight out of mind" is such a popular expression.
In 2013, consumers spent $1.39 Billion dollars on fur in the United States alone, while global fur sales between 2012-2013 brought in a whopping $35.8 Billion. Perhaps arming shoppers with more information about the fur they're purchasing would be enough to sway a segment to spend their money on apparel and accessories with companies that hold themselves accountable for their sourcing and production. Dollars could move to retailers that use repurposed vintage fur, (looking at you Reformation), or source their fur from Switzerland, a country with very strict regulations on how fur production. Even if including these fur-related attributes doesn't encourage more conscious consumption, at the very least it will prevent the type of PR nightmare that occurs when an anti-fur activist orders mislabeled, not-so-faux fur.
GS1 created their extended attribute guidelines for e-commerce because there are no industry-wide standards for what product information is provided to consumers. Retailers like Macy's, Nordstrom, and Dilliard's have embraced these guidelines because it will allow them to provide consumers with a superior shopping experience and reduce the number of customers who are unsatisfied with their purchase. An unintended side effect of these guidelines may be the empowerment of consumers to make purchases fueled by their personal moral code, which could be a turning point for the apparel industry. Including this type of detailed information could initiate the movement away from "fast fashion" and back towards quality.
