The cords on window shades and blinds have been a cause of injury and death in children because of the strangulation hazard they present for decades, resulting in about one child dying every month.
Last summer, safety regulators in several countries, including the U.S., instructed the window covering industry to enact new safety standards that would help to eliminate those hazards.
But safety advocates and government regulators believe that the newest proposals being considered by the Window Covering Manufacturers Associations could cause the deaths of more children because it allows the manufacturers to still use the cords that are safety hazards.
The Chicago Tribune reports, "The window blind trade association sets voluntary standards for its products. Regulators and safety groups sometimes give suggestions, but the industry usually has the final say and more input. In rare cases, government regulators step in and require mandatory standards, which Tanenbaum said she would consider.
The window covering industry and regulators have over the years tried to educate parents, recalled certain products, and made tweaks to products to help reduce safety hazards, but not all were eliminated even in new products, and many homes still have the older blinds.

Q: $u=f(x\cos{\alpha}+y\sin{\alpha}-at)+g(x\cos{\alpha}+y\sin{\alpha}+at)$ write the Partial Differential Equation his general solution:
$u=f(x\cos{\alpha}+y\sin{\alpha}-at)+g(x\cos{\alpha}+y\sin{\alpha}+at)$
My try:
${\partial{u}\over {\partial{x}}}=\cos{\alpha} \ f^{\prime}(x\cos{\alpha}+y\sin{\alpha}-at)+\cos{\alpha} \ g^{\prime}(x\cos{\alpha}+y\sin{\alpha}+at)$
${\partial{u}\over {\partial{y}}}=\sin{\alpha} \ f^{\prime}(x\cos{\alpha}+y\sin{\alpha}-at)+\sin{\alpha} \ g^{\prime}(x\cos{\alpha}+y\sin{\alpha}+at)$
${\partial{u}\over {\partial{t}}}=-a \ f^{\prime}(x\cos{\alpha}+y\sin{\alpha}-at)+a \ g^{\prime}(x\cos{\alpha}+y\sin{\alpha}+at)$
and
${\partial^{2}{u}\over {\partial{x}^2}}=\cos^2{\alpha} \ [ f^{\prime}(x\cos{\alpha}+y\sin{\alpha}-at)+g^{\prime}(x\cos{\alpha}+y\sin{\alpha}+at)]$
${\partial^2{u}\over {\partial{y}^2}}=\sin^2{\alpha}[ \ f^{\prime}(x\cos{\alpha}+y\sin{\alpha}-at)+\ g^{\prime}(x\cos{\alpha}+y\sin{\alpha}+at)]$
${\partial^2{u}\over {\partial{t}^2}}=a^2 [ \ f^{\prime}(x\cos{\alpha}+y\sin{\alpha}-at)+ \ g^{\prime}(x\cos{\alpha}+y\sin{\alpha}+at)]$
then I got:
\begin{equation}{\partial^{2}{u}\over {\partial{x}^2}}+{\partial^2{u}\over {\partial{y}^2}}-{1\over {a}^2}{\partial^2{u}\over {\partial{t}^2}}=0\end{equation}
true?

Here Are Some One-Ingredient Natural Remedies That Will Help You Remove Any Bug From Your Home!
When winter comes, people mostly want to enjoy their homes where it is warm. No one wants to go out in the cold. But, you should know that the bugs in and around your home also want to be inside where it's warmer.
The sprays that can be used against insects can kill the bugs, but they're very dangerous for people, too. So, why don't you use something natural that will help you kill them, but won't harm you?
This type of oil is considered to be the most effective insect repellent that is all natural. There are numerous studies which can prove that.
So, buy some eucalyptus essential oil and use it as an insect repellent!
Add one cup of water and ¼ of a teaspoon of eucalyptus oil into a spray bottle. Shake everything well. Apply it on the areas where you've seen insects. You must remember to shake it before every application because the oil will separate from the water. Reapply the spray every 3 days.
During the process of aromatherapy, lavender oil is the most commonly used, but can also help you repel insects!
People have used it for centuries and managed to prevent white flies, black beetles, fleas, green flies and black flies. It can also help you against infections which appear because of bug bites.
You can help yourself by using lavender sachets or pillows to avoid insects coming into your sleeping area.
Put 1.5 ounces of water into a spray bottle and then add 30-40 drops of lavender oil. Shake everything well and use it where you have insects!
Basil has a very strong aroma that insects don't like.
According to a particular study, it repels insects very effectively, but it can also be used as a larvicide. It will even prevent larval insects to hatch!
Just add 8 ounces of water into a spray bottle and then put 20 drops of basil inside. Shake it all well and spray wherever you need to, including your skin.
Citrus oils can also be used as insect repellents. You can use bergamot essential oil or if you don't have an essential oil at the moment, just squeeze the orange juice of an orange, put it in a spray bottle and use it wherever you need to!
Peppermint will repel any insect effectively, but it will also give the area a refreshing scent. It can be even used on your skin!
You can use several min tea bags that you've dipped into water in the areas where you have insects.
If you want to, you can also prepare a spray. Just add 8 ounces of water into a spray bottle and put 10-15 drops of peppermint oil. Shake it all well and spray it on any area with insects. You can also use this mixture against mice! You just have to put a smaller amount of water in the mixture!

New Year's Eve. It's time to eulogize the old year and ring in the new one. 2015, like 2014, was not a banner year for yours truly in some respects. Many people around the world feel the same way. Many are anxious and uncertain, skeptical of what the future may bring. There is good reason for those feelings. The global economy is not humming, new terror threats pop up seemingly every day, and the media and other "experts," along with our governments, loudly purport to be objective and only have our best interests in mind, even as they tell us to ignore obvious near-term existential threats and to focus on becoming ever less judgmental and ever more politically correct.
Never-the-less, never despair. One person, determined, can change the world, and certainly at least his or her corner of it. Many, acting in harmony and with integrity, character and resolve can achieve almost anything. We have faced- and overcome- many worse crises in times past. Look at the American Founders, Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln for examples. Let us this day highly resolve to take positive action this coming year.
If you mean it, tell her you love her. Play some games with your kids. Read a classic book. Write that book you've talked about writing for years. Make yourself an expert on an issue important to you. Go to political party meetings…and, if you feel versed on a subject, speak up.
Don't let someone tell you lies, or let some group or government tell you how to think and act…and what you can and cannot say. Don't be embarrassed about your considered opinion. There is nothing more sinister and detrimental to the human condition and its improvement. All of history has proven that so.
Don't just mark time. Make time… to do what you'll otherwise wish you had done when you are out of time. Starting tonight.
There has never been a time without time.
*Thank you to all who read this blog. Don't hesitate to comment. If you have constructive suggestions on something you'd like me to write about, please let me know. Here's wishing you and your loved one's all the best in 2016!* Prost!
A report given to the UN Security Council last March claims that 22,000 foreign fighters from across the globe had already traveled to Syria and Iraq to support ISIS, the vast majority of them coming from Western nations. That number would be even higher today.
Apparently, however, there is trouble in paradise.
Many of the would-be Western jihadists are not taken with the lack of creature comforts in the heart of the Caliphate and quite a few have taken to social media outlets to express their frustration. Women converts appear especially troubled. According to a recent report on FoxNews.com, no Starbucks, rude help at beauty salons, lousy restaurants, slow internet and bad cell phone service are some of the most common complaints.
It must be terribly frustrating when you're whiling away the time in between attacks and have to choke down bad Arab food in a tacky restaurant while waiting for Pinterest to appear on your smart phone.
And voicing unhappiness about the treatment of women is strictly forbidden in the Islamic State. According to that same FoxNews.com report, on Aug. 10, 2015, a Swedish woman named Muhajira Umm Hamza took to Twitter and lashed out against the treatment of women in the city of Raqqah by male muhajirin, or foreign fighters, in a series of tweets.
"There is so little respect for us," read another tweet from the same woman. Shortly after her social media rant all of her tweets were deleted.
Her fate is not known.
Not everything is lacking or of poor quality in the Levant, however. In fact, many claim that the local suicide-bomber gear is to die for.
Native jihadists have responded to Western recruit's complaints with their own tweets on Twitter. "If I hear one more European muhajirah trashing Arab sisters I'm going to lose it," @GreenBirdofDabiq tweeted on September 10th, 2015. And we thought you were so stable. She continued, "If you didn't like Arab culture, u shouldn't have come here. And don't trash our Syrian sisters who didn't grow up with the wealth u have. Yr not better than they r and u risk nullifying yr hijrah." Ironic?
We in the West need to be as bold and forthright in confronting immigrants from the Middle East- or elsewhere. "If you disdain our culture, then don't come here" should be the logical response to many.
Why? Because if they truly can't stand our culture, why would they go to the trouble of coming here? If they want asylum, a chance at a better life and a handout from Uncle Sam (U.S. taxpayers), they should be praising "our culture," not criticizing it.
And, if that's not the case, the only other reason for their arrival would be to attempt to destroy the culture they so revile- and many of us along with it.
A Kentucky elementary school has "censored" its students in their performance of a play based on "A Charlie Brown Christmas" (the original episode of the hugely popular not-just-for-kids television series, itself based off of the iconic comic-strip). The characters experience the glitz, hype and shopping that have become the dominant aspects of the season, but Charlie Brown laments that no one is really thinking about the real meaning of Christmas. At this point, Linus steps up and recites a passage from the Gospel of Luke.
That caused one person to be "offended." That person complained to school officials, who promptly caved and banned that part of the play from being performed again.
Many more people were offended that the kids were prohibited from performing the defining part of the show/play. If we are to ban anything and everything that any individual claims to take offense at, there will be nothing left of life. (I myself have been offended by many things on television and in movies, on the news, etc., etc. I just don't claim to be a victim or demand that things be banned. Turn the tv off. Pretend to be an adult. Get over it).
There would be no television, no movies, no books, no plays, no art, no political discourse, no exchange of ideas, no discourse at all, in fact. Don't like it when something "makes you see red?" Complain and get that color banned! Think pink paints females into a stereotyped corner, all sweet and soft? Be offended and get it banned, baby! Feeling blue? You shouldn't have to! Let's ban blue too!
We can have a truly colorless society, devoid of…everything. Especially meaning.
We are well on our way to allowing progressives to destroy our society by chipping away at its' foundations until it collapses and disintegrates. Toss out the Founders, toss out the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Toss out Christianity. This is intolerance on an epic scale, perpetrated by those claiming to be tolerant and tolerated by those they claim to be intolerant.
Truth offends progressives. And scares the rest of us.
Republicans have yet again engineered- and flawlessly executed- a massive betrayal of the voting public this year. Having won landslide elections in 2010 and 2014, by promising to do away with Obamacare, secure the nation's borders, and not further bankrupt the country by signing on to a ruinous climate change agreement, they have proceeded to do just that…and more.
Egged on by Paul Ryan, the perpetually petrified political party again pledged to put political politeness ahead of national security by kowtowing to Democrats now reflexive anti-Americanism. The mainstream "moderates" in the Grand Old Party have become virtually as destructive and pathetic as the Democratic-Socialist-Marxists, aiding, abetting and executing ever more government control and ever less individual freedom, in a craven- and, in the long run, utterly self-defeating- attempt to hold power.
Terrified of being branded as the party that "shut down the government," they helped pass an egregious spending bill last week that fully funds the already bloated government to the tune of $1.1 trillion. Obamacare? Fully funded. Cop21 climate agreement spending? Fully funded. Planned Parenthood? Fully funded. Sanctuary cities? Fully funded. Mideast and other immigration programs? Fully funded. Throw in a backroom deal that allows for the quadrupling of foreign workers and the release of criminal aliens and it is no wonder why the White House and Democrats have declared "total victory" over the GOP congress.
This action also makes it abundantly clear why Donald Trump remains so popular.
The GOP "establishment" that so disdains him has made him thus, as he embodies everything they aren't.
Anyone with a hint of independence, backbone, character, spirit, love of free speech and/or knowledge of America's founding uniqueness and her historic place in the world will of course reject both the Democrats and the establishment R.'s.I.N.O. positions.
I fervently hope necessity Trump's political correctness. And I'd love to Cruz to victory.
Unfortunately, the reality is that Bill's gal will be the next president of the United States.


Team Teasdale Realty makes full color double-sided brochures for their homes. Over 90% of the homes in Utah County do not have brochures at all. However, buyer's grab brochures on homes they are interested in all the time. Our latest version of brochures now includes a QR code. This code will send the buyer directly to a full virtual tour of the home. Buyers are able to use their smart phone and instantly look at more specs about the home. Realtors that do not use brochures don't understand the value of brochures. Perhaps they are trying to save money. We know brochures help us sell our homes faster. We go thru about 50 brochures per month on each home.
You can actually see our signs at night. Our signs are made with the same reflective technology as a stop sign. Combined with a solar panel, lighted brochure box, these signs make your home visible at night. We can put up a wood post or a steel framed sign for you.

Generally speaking, Rust Bullet does not require the use of harsh chemicals, acids or grinders to prepare the garage floor. Sometimes customers have a floor that needs spot treatment for oil stains, or in some cases the whole floor needs extensive cleaning.
We recommend Metal Blast. Metal Blast is called Metal Blast because it was originally formulated for dealing with oils, grease and other issues on metal surfaces to be coated. It is just as effective on concrete. Metal Blast is an outstanding surface conditioner and cleaner.
Typical coverage is 150 – 200 Sq. Ft. per gallon. It can be sprayed or brushed on. Allow it to sit for a minimum of 20 minutes, than rinse off with water. It is important to allow the concrete to completely dry before proceeding with coating it. It is also important to understand that areas treated with Metal Blast may become more porous and require more material than a smooth floor.
Like all chemicals, Metal Blast requires appropriate safety precautions. Please read the label on the container for details.
Lastly, the disposal of oil and other contaminates, regardless of if that is through acid etching or other methods, may require special attention to the method of disposal. Please follow all local, state and federal laws when it come to disposing of oils, chemicals, etc.

As reported By Nora Flaherty of HarnessLink Gamblers in Maine spent nearly $54.6 million on slots and table games at the state's two casinos last year.
Those numbers are from the Gambling Control Board's annual report out this month. The report also finds that while Oxford Casino made about $2 million more in 2017 than in 2016, Hollywood Casino made about $900,000 less than the year before.
I feel there are many reasons for the disparaging revenue statistics, but the main reason is location, location, location!
Bangor is a quaint DownEast city in south-central Maine. So, what are the things that might make it a destination?
Some say they have the best shopping in Maine with the Bangor Mall, which is so popular that people from all over North America, including Canada, shop there. It has spawned several motels just to service the customers. However, all those hotels don't seem to have spilled over into stay-cations including the Hollywood Casino. Besides, doesn't the Outlet Madness area of Kittery entice people from all over New England?
Downtown is a great place to eat, enjoy some night life, and enjoy free concerts and movies. The beer selections, with the increase of craft brewers such as Geaghan Brothers Brewing next to the casino, Masons Brewing, Black Canvas Brewing and Maniacal Brewing are all great additions to SeaDog Brewing right in the Bangor area.
Darlings Waterfront Pavilion has excellent open-air entertainment in the summer, just a brief walk from the casino.
The Penobscot River Walkway is an excellent walking, biking, or running trail that starts in the back of the casino.
But gamblers have made their way to CT casinos driving longer distances?
Yes, but the end product is quite different. Number of better gaming tables, better video poker, better amenities….the list goes on…will entice people. Bangor and the Hollywood casino isn't that enticing.
Oxford on the other hand seems like the little engine that could. Additions along the way – better infrastructure, added hotel (with another new Hampton Inn across the street) a new dining option in the OX Pub, and closer proximity to the cities cited above makes their growth in revenue understandable.
According to Nora Flaherty's report, "Of the money they took in, Oxford and Hollywood casinos sent $18 million back to the state to use for K-12 education; $5.9 million to the University of Maine system, the state's community college system, and Maine Maritime Academy; $8.9 million went to the general fund; and $4.4 million went to harness racing purses. That's among many beneficiaries, including the agricultural fair support fund, which got $1.8 million.
Every Summer, NETG drives up to check out both casinos. It's always a fun and relaxing trip, and we have more to check on besides the casinos. Something to look forward to.

Look for measure 237 in https://musescore.com/howard_c_/scores/5398878 for crescendo lines, and look for anywhere beneath the piano staves for pedal lines. These lines have their element properties set to invisible, but the line parts don't make themselves invisible. Which causes the PDF convertion and online-uploaded pages to have those lines visible on them.
For further reference see the discussion below #279510: Invisible pedal marks visible on musescore.com.
The entire element, regadless being set to invisible, is visible in PDF and on musescoee.com. The line part can get set invisible separatly, and that works.
Setting the line part invisible not working was a bug that got fixed.
Delete the element and add it again. Then it will work.
So only an issue for scores "imported" from an older version?
My sample score was created in 3.0 or older version. I don't know if your "older" meant all before 3.0.2 or before 3.0.
Please try what I suggested, and report back.
But your score got originally created with a 3.0 Beta release, some time in early December.
This should fix the issue without you having to recreate all of your Pedals and Hairpins.
It will just work. You will not have to do anything.

Ben Badler gives us insight into Baseball America
Photo (Web Screen Shot): Ben Badler is considered a guru by the masses
Ben Badler is considered by the masses as a baseball guru when it comes to evaluating prospects and his publication Baseball America is considered the bible on rating these prospects. A lot of publications and writers, including myself base their analysis on BA's scouting reports.
I was able to contact Mr. Badler via Twitter and conduct a very candid interview in which he lets us into the world of Baseball America. He explains how the publication conducts its scouting and rates up and coming prospects.
Badler gives us insight into this year's international signing period and about what some consider a controversial rating of Víctor Víctor Mesa as the #1 prospect in the 2019 international period.
Victor Victor steals home. He will be one of the top prospects in the game once he signs: https://t.co/p41l0YnTZ2 pic.twitter.com/TSdSVk9BgO
— Ben Badler (@BenBadler) May 17, 2018
How did you get into scouting prospects, or better yet, how did you get started at Baseball America?
From the time I was a kid I knew I wanted to work in sports, and over time I gravitated more towards baseball. I applied to colleges based on which schools had sport management programs, and I was fortunate that my home state of Massachusetts had one of the best programs in the country at UMass Amherst.
I had been a Baseball America reader for a long time, reading through the Prospect Handbook, the prospects rankings, and scouting reports. So I was thrilled to get an internship with Baseball America in 2007 and again when they quickly after that offered me a full time job. We've had a lot of former BA interns and writers go on to work for clubs up to the assistant GM level, but I genuinely love what I'm able to do at BA, which is why I've been here for so long.
In your opinion who is the most talented prospect you have ever scouted?
The two players who stick out the most for me are Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg. Harper was an underclassmen in high school who stood out as the best player on the field with phenomenal bat speed, power, and arm strength. Strasburg was one of the most dominant college pitchers of all time. He had premium velocity at a time before it became widespread, a wipeout breaking ball and a good changeup that he never had to use much against college hitters, along with excellent command.
Victor Victor and Victor Mesa Jr. are signing with the Marlins today.
They spoke with me in depth about their decision, their names, baseball in Cuba and their future in Miami: https://t.co/IbMPcMxgby
— Ben Badler (@BenBadler) October 22, 2018
In 2019 your rating of Víctor Víctor Mesa was maligned by some, please explain to those detractors why the outfielder was rated so high?
When Mesa played in Cuba, he was a standout player from a young age, especially on the defensive side at a premium position with his speed, range, arm strength, athleticism, and instincts. There was more uncertainty on his pure hitting ability, but the Marlins gave him the biggest bonus of any international prospect in that signing period. While he didn't strike out much in his first year with the Marlins in 2019, he also has struggled to drive the ball with much of an impact to this point.
How has scouting evolved in the evaluation of Cubans, especially those still on the island?
The players we are scouting now are usually much younger than when I was writing about Cuban players 3, 5, or 8 years ago. At that time, there was a huge wave of Cuban players who were in their 20s leaving Cuba to try to sign with major league clubs. It became progressively younger over time, with more players in that 18-23 age bracket leaving to sign. We're still seeing a lot of the top talent in that age group, but we're also seeing more players who are even younger leaving to train in a country like the Dominican Republic and sign with a club.
You chose Pedro Manuel León as the top rated prospect for this period of international free agency. Some publications have rated Céspedes ahead him, what in your distinguishes León from the others?
To clarify, we decided not to put out a talent ranking this year on the 2020-21 signing class. What we did instead was post a list of the players we expected to sign for the top 50 bonuses, with players sorted on the board strictly by how much money we were expecting them to sign for. We have a longer explanation on our site in the intro to that story, but the reality is that teams are reaching unofficial agreements to sign players two years before their signing date, and in some cases even earlier.
Once those players commit to a team, they stop being scouted by other clubs in a competitive environment. With players signing at 16, there is just an enormous amount of things that can change with a player between 14 and 16. Then on top of all that, this year we had a pandemic, during which MLB banned teams from scouting players, even the players in a team's own upcoming signing class.
So the idea of ranking the top 50 or top 100 international prospects just wouldn't be fair to our readers or anyone involved in the process. With Leon and Cespedes, I think there's a lot of uncertainty with both players, in part because of the pandemic and because of how they have been scouted (or not scouted all that much) over the past year.
Do you see an international draft looming in the near future?
Yes. MLB owners still want a draft. They wanted one in the last CBA, and when they were going to have a midterm bargaining session with the players association during the current CBA, they were going to push for an international draft then.
On the other side of the table, the MLBPA might posture as if they are against an international draft, but in reality, they are only looking out for the interests of players on 40-man rosters, so an international draft is not important to them except as a bargaining chip that they can use as leverage to get something they want for the major league players in exchange for agreeing to an international draft.

Sam: places a hand on her side It's fine..
Josh: smiles back at her Lead the way..
Lexi- She nods then starts pulling him to the left.
Lexi- "You so good to me, you just let me drag you where ever.." She laughs a bit and smiles.
Lexi- She looked back at him, "So your saying your scared of me?"
Alex- "You stay if you want.. I have a guest room.."
Josh: No, Im saying that you're only stronger because you're a vampire..
Sam: stops walking You sure?
Lexi- She stopped walking and covered his mouth then whispered, "Listen, I'm happy your so cool with this but you can't just call me that out in the open, some people aren't so cool with vampiros.."
Josh: rolls his eyes and grabs her wrist lifting her hand off his mouth Lexi, theres no one else around, and besides it's not like I shouted it at the top of my lungs..
Sam: smiles a bit Ok then..
Lexi- She pulls her hand away then replies, "I just don't want to take any chances,"
Lexi- "Thank you, now come on." She smiles and pulls him into the house that she had led him to.
Alex- "Um, I'll show you to the guest room.
Lexi- She walked in with him and closed the door behind them, "Welcome to my great great, etc. Nephew's house.." She smiles, "He hasn't come home from work and so he has no idea I'm here." She laughs a bit.
Alex- He starts walking upstairs, "Follow me."
Josh: looks around at then at her Is he a, uh..
Lexi- "Vampire? No.. Annoying kill joy human? Yes." She smiles at him.
Alex- He goes to a bedroom and opens a door, "Here is the room, it was my sister's."
Sam: steps inside the room and looks around and turns to look at Alex Thanks..
Alex- He smiles, "No problem."
Lexi- She sees him roll his eyes, "What? My nephew is totally annoying and boring.." She shrugged and walked over to the living room and goes through the DVD's.
Alex- "Um, well I'll let you rest just come and get me if you need me."
Lexi- She held up the DVD case and smiled, "I found it!"
Alex- "It's no problem." He said again before leaving.
Lexi- She put it in the DVD player and sat next to him.
Alex- He goes to his bedroom..

This book is an exposition of the theoretical foundations of hyperbolic manifolds. It is intended to be used both as a textbook and as a reference. Particular emphasis has been placed on readability and completeness of ar gument. The treatment of the material is for the most part elementary and self-contained. The reader is assumed to have a basic knowledge of algebra and topology at the first-year graduate level of an American university. The book is divided into three parts. The first part, consisting of Chap ters 1-7, is concerned with hyperbolic geometry and basic properties of discrete groups of isometries of hyperbolic space. The main results are the existence theorem for discrete reflection groups, the Bieberbach theorems, and Selberg's lemma. The second part, consisting of Chapters 8-12, is de voted to the theory of hyperbolic manifolds. The main results are Mostow's rigidity theorem and the determination of the structure of geometrically finite hyperbolic manifolds. The third part, consisting of Chapter 13, in tegrates the first two parts in a development of the theory of hyperbolic orbifolds. The main results are the construction of the universal orbifold covering space and Poincare's fundamental polyhedron theorem.

Q: Desaturate and add drop shadow I'm trying to accomplish two things with social sharing icons on a site that I'm working on.
First, I'd like to add a drop shadow. then I would like to have them desaturated by default, and colored on hover.
Below is the code that I'm using:
.a2a_floating_style.a2a_vertical_style img {
-webkit-filter: drop-shadow(6px 6px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.5));
    filter: url(#drop-shadow);
    -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Dropshadow(OffX=6, OffY=6, Color='#444')";
    filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Dropshadow(OffX=6, OffY=6, Color='#444')";
    -webkit-transition:all .4s;
    -moz-transition:all .4s;
    -ms-transition:all .4s;
    -o-transition:all .4s;
    transition:all .4s;
}

.a2a_floating_style.a2a_vertical_style img:not(:hover) {
    -webkit-filter: drop-shadow(6px 6px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.5));
    filter: url(#drop-shadow);
    -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Dropshadow(OffX=6, OffY=6, Color='#444')";
    filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Dropshadow(OffX=6, OffY=6, Color='#444')";
    -webkit-filter:grayscale(100%);
    -moz-filter:grayscale(100%);
    -ms-filter:grayscale(100%);
    -o-filter:grayscale(100%);
    filter:grayscale(100%);
}
.a2a_floating_style.a2a_vertical_style img:hover {
    -webkit-filter: drop-shadow(6px 6px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.5));
    filter: url(#drop-shadow);
    -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Dropshadow(OffX=6, OffY=6, Color='#444')";
    filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Dropshadow(OffX=6, OffY=6, Color='#444')";
    -webkit-filter:grayscale(0%);
    -moz-filter:grayscale(0%);
    -ms-filter:grayscale(0%);
    -o-filter:grayscale(0%);
    filter:grayscale(0%);
}

It does the saturation bit, but not the drop shadows. If I remove the desaturation instructions, then it does the drop shadow fine.
Is there a way that I ought to organize this so both effects will work?
Thanks.

A: You overwrite the filter css, not add a filter to the existing filters. By removing some css lines the problem becomes clear:
-webkit-filter: drop-shadow(6px 6px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.5));
-webkit-filter: grayscale(0%);

You can however supply multiple filters by separating them with spaces:
-webkit-filter: drop-shadow(6px 6px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.5)) grayscale(0%);


Opposition parties are questioning why the Government is undertaking aerial surveys of world heritage land if it does not plan to mine it.
The Government intends to conduct aero-magnetic surveys of the South Island's West Coast, including a world heritage area.
Conservation Minister Kate Wilkinson says the survey to get data for which there are a range of uses and the information will be particularly valuable for soils data and land capability assessments.
Labour says the surveying will inevitably lead to excavation, but Ms Wilkinson told a Parliamentary select committee she sees no conservation issue in looking at the resources.
The Government says no mining will take place on Schedule Four land or World Heritage Sites.

You know it's a powerful moment when someone is able to introduce an unfamiliar idea into the zeitgeist with just a few simple words, and we all heard Frances McDormand loud and clear when she said "inclusion rider" during her Oscars speech. She's right to say that while we've made progress, the system is still broken. Commentary like this piece from Doris Ruth Eikhof backs what McDormand said, provides nuance and gives us some concrete steps forward — unsurprisingly, an important piece of that puzzle will involve the power of unions.

Researchers have found that a significant amount of chemicals added to consumer products end up in the air we breathe. This transforms something that seems so individual — "personal care" products — and shows us that like so much of what we buy, our choices have an impact far beyond the scope of our own tiny, seemingly insignificant domains. Although this article's headline implies that you need to use less deodorant/toxic care products to be mindful of the planet, you could also try swapping different, nontoxic options into your routine.
Plastic straws are a huge polluter of our beaches and oceans, which is kind of nuts considering how unnecessary they are. Go watch that YouTube video of a sea turtle with a plastic straw lodged in its nostril — you'll have no question afterward about not really needing straws in your life. I'm not necessarily anti-straw; I'm anti–plastic straw (there are great alternatives in paper and steel) — and what's great about this particular issue is that there's a very simple yet tangible change you can make to have an impact.
Last Straw
I just launched The goop Podcast, featuring discussions with leading thinkers, culture changers and industry disruptors. Guests include experts — from doctors to creatives, CEOs to spiritual healers — discussing shifts away from old paradigms and the importance of launching new conversations. The first episode features Oprah Winfrey and I focusing on mother figures, the women's movement and the triggering nature of new ideas. Topics will mirror goop's verticals: wellness, travel, food, beauty, style and work. So stay tuned for The goop Podcast every Thursday at 6 AM ET.

I said this to him, and I'll say it again here: It's unfair that John Legend can cook so effing well and also sing like he does. He recently came to goop HQ to teach us how to make perfect fried chicken wings, and they were crazy good — the best element may be the spicy honey butter his wife, Chrissy, created. But you can follow the recipe yourself and let me know. While nothing can really replace the perfect fried anything, I cooked up my spin on the chicken wing: a cleaned-up, sticky/salty baked Korean version.
The quiet courage of Brendan Fraser's #MeToo moment is powerfully presented here. We see a familiar pattern of what it feels like to try to diminish your experience in an attempt to move forward; how difficult it is to speak publicly and feel safe; why even when you know your truth, there's still so much complexity to navigate. It calls to mind something so important Samantha Bee once said on her show: "It doesn't have to be rape to ruin your life, and it doesn't have to ruin your life to be worth speaking out about."
Him Too
We're a bunch of book nerds at goop, and I've noticed that I tend to be drawn to stories that help me see myself in other people and that perhaps help me tap into a larger consciousness. Obviously, I'm not alone in this — it's that connection that so often defines great storytelling, right? It's pretty fascinating, although it makes total sense, that when OZY took a survey of what we're all reading, they found a common theme was people seeking out books that expressed concern for the state of our world — a super-relatable sentiment right now.
I don't know a single woman who hasn't been sexually harassed, abused or molested — yes, there are levels of severity, but it's ubiquitous. With her trademark brilliance, Jia Tolentino reports here on the specific problem of sexual assault on college campuses. The recontextualizing of her own experiences as a now 29-year-old resonates deeply, even outside the context of college. "Sexual assault on campus is frequently portrayed as lurid and dark and complex," she writes. "But the experiences that live in our heads are often obvious and ordinary, sometimes heartbreakingly so."
Child marriage is an insidiously harmful tradition that's also far too common. The International Center for Research on Women says a third of girls in the developing world are forced to marry before age 18, and one in nine before age 15. Photojournalist Stephanie Sinclair has been working to fight the practice for 15 years — she founded Too Young to Wed, a nonprofit photo and workshop series aimed at empowering girls who have been child brides. It's because of this work (plus her incredible talent) that we wanted to interview her about her career and the path she sees forward.

Our team of dedicated lawyers represents persons who have suffered serious injury, economic loss, personal loss and future damages due to negligence, including motorcycle accidents and motor vehicle accidents.
Motorcycles offer drivers and their passengers less protection than most other types of vehicles. Motorcycle accidents often result in devastating injuries such as brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputations and death.
If you are a victim of one of these incidents, it is imperative that you seek legal representation with a law firm that has extensive experience in personal injury law. The Bernard Law Group has a proven track record of success with such cases.

The idea that was to become OZLAP was initially born from our desire to drive the iconic Gibb River Road in the remote Kimberley region, in northern WA. We really wanted to do it, but didn't want to have to rush and fit it in to our measly 4 weeks of annual leave that we were afforded each year. So based on that train of thought we then decided to hell with it and began to instigate the planning of our unlimited OZLAP and see the whole of Australia while we were at it!!!
Fast forward 5 and half years and here we are, early on a Tuesday morning, packing up our caravan and heading out of Broome, bound for Derby and then onto the Gibb River Road (known as the GRR). Our stay at Derby was a relatively short and sweet overnighter, we arrived in town early in the afternoon, met up with our GRR buddies, the Leeds, hurriedly set up and headed out to visit the infamous Boab Prison Tree. The prison tree was used way back in the uncivil olden days when many Indigenous people from the west Kimberley's were kidnapped and forced to dive or work on the pearling boats, whilst they were waiting for the boats to come into shore they were held captive in these many boabs. Clearly not a feel good piece of Australian history that we can be proud of, so we instead concentrated on the humungous size of its trunk. We then went to the jetty to see the high tide surging in. The 9 metre tides in Derby are the second largest in the world, only trumped by Nova Scotia in Canada at 11 metres. It seems Derby likes to do things BIG….
The water rushing in to the shore.
But we all agreed there was much bigger things to come and with much excitement we packed up early and set off on the first stage of the GRR, taking the customary photo at the ROADS OPEN sign. Then much to our amusement and a little disappointment drove for another 100km on bitumen……..
FINALLY, we hit the dirt, it wasn't too bad, a few corrugations, but nothing that we weren't expecting. We spent most of the morning driving and stopping to take photos and drone footage of both the Napier Ranges and King Leopold Ranges, arriving at our campground just after lunch. Silent Grove campground is located in 19km off the GRR within the King Leopold Conservation Park, it amazingly has flushing toilets, luke warm showers and drinking water all fed from a spring and only costs $12 per adult. We then spent the next 2 days exploring, hiking and swimming in nearby Bell Gorge. Bell Gorge has the reputation as being the most picturesque gorge in the West Kimberley and much to our delight it didn't disappoint, with a great short hike into the gorge where we were then able to waste away most of our day swimming, playing and reading. Whilst here we also met another travelling family, the Hamilton's (www.hamiltonianciruit.wordpress.com), who had been following us on our blog, saw our car and came up and said hello, it was great to meet them and hear about their exciting travelling stories too.

Pools at the top of the gorge.
A lazy afternoon spent swimming in Bell Gorge.
From Bell Gorge we made our way to a place called Charnley River Wilderness Camp, which is located about 43 km west off the GRR. The road in was great as we were following the graders, which we actually nearly ran into when we arrived at the main office, so it was a pretty smooth ride. Charnley River Wilderness Camp (previously known as Beverly Springs) has recently been acquired by the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC), a non-profit organisation who pretty much charged us an arm and a leg for a patch of grass, hot showers and flushing toilets. Adults were $20 each and the kids were a ridiculous $10 each, this combined with a vehicle access fee had us paying a whopping $185 for a two-night stay, the lady then added insult to injury and added that we could make a donation online as well……. As far as I was concerned we just bloody well did make a donation!!!!
After we set up we decided to take a drive out to Donkey Pools for a swim, where we spent the rest of the afternoon. The next day we went exploring the three swimming spots available to explore on the property, Lilly Pool, Grevillea Gorge and Dillies Gorge, the kids enjoyed swimming at each of these and the walks in weren't overly long too, which is a bonus. On our second night there, the dingos had us feeling a little uneasy with all their howling and carry on, it sounded like there was a whole pack of them and they were surrounding us, right when I needed to go to the loo as well!!! Whilst the gorges were lovely and we got some great photos, our stay was dampened a little by the price, it certainly wasn't worth the exorbitant cost and we wouldn't recommend it to anyone purely for that reason.
Lilly Pool was very beautiful, but a stagnant.
Kids swimming at Dillie Gorge.

Our drive the next day was only a relatively short one, 43km back to the GRR and then a further 50 odd km's, we unhooked the van and went for a look at Adcock Gorge, which was no swimming (boo from the kids), then we headed onto our next camp spot at Manning Gorge campground.

The Manning Gorge campground is situated 7km off the GRR behind the Mt Barnett Roadhouse, approximately located half way along the GRR, and the roadhouse and the gorge campground are both owned and run by the nearby Kupungarri Aboriginal Community. We called in at the roadhouse, bought some bread and milk, paid for our camp spot (a more respectful $99 for 3 nights) and drove the short distance to set up camp. During our stay we hiked the 2.5km walk to Manning Gorge, which started off with a fun little tinny boat and a pulley system to enable us to get to the other side of the river with dry feet, clothes and cameras. Once at the gorge we spent a lazy morning swimming in the waterfalls, which were by far the best we have seen, even though there was at least 100 people there with us, the falls and swimming area is large enough so that it doesn't feel that you are all crowded. We also spent the next 3 days relaxing and swimming in the river at the campsite, whilst keeping a close eye on a fresh water crocodile who was happily sunning himself on a rock about 50 metres away. There was a lot of people swimming in the river, so after we calculated our odds based on ours and the girls swimming abilities we felt pretty safe.
Swimming right at the campsite, just need to keep an eye out for the freshwater crocs.
The pulley system that moves the tinny across the river.
The punt for getting across the river dry, or as a playground is what our kids used it for.
My favourite, Manning Gorge waterfalls.
The kids swimming back from the waterfall.
Mt Barnett Roadhouse is the halfway point for the GRR and from here we set off early as we had a big drive onto one of the major attractions for this area, we were very excited about our next adventure and destination on our OZLAP…………..

WEYMOUTH College students have been showcasing their digital media skills at their annual exhibition.
The third year degree students joined with Bournemouth and Poole College for the two-day show, which was open to the public.
In their final year, undergraduates from both colleges are encouraged to work with people outside their area on self-designed projects.
Small groups form companies, with projects this year including interactive recipes, documentaries and web design.
Student Doug Inman, 28, created a life-sized Dalek and based an interactive media game around it.
The exhibition was at the Kube art gallery in Bournemouth and Poole College, which was re-launched as a Digital Design Centre after the gallery closed down in 2010.


WASHINGTON: Scientists have discovered a distant object at the edge of the solar system, which completes one orbit around the Sun every 40,000 years, a finding that supports the presence of Planet X.
The newly found object, called 2015 TG387, was discovered about 80 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun.
For context, Pluto is around 34 AU, so 2015 TG387 is about two and a half times further away from the Sun than Pluto is right now.
The object is on a very elongated orbit and never comes closer to the Sun, a point called perihelion, than about 65 AU, according to researchers from the Carnegie Institution for Science in the US.
Only 2012 VP113 and Sedna at 80 and 76 AU respectively have more-distant perihelia than 2015 TG387.
Though 2015 TG387 has the third-most-distant perihelion, its orbital semi-major axis is larger than 2012 VP113 and Sedna's, meaning it travels much farther from the Sun than they do.
At its furthest point, it reaches all the way out to about 2,300 AU. 2015 TG387 is one of the few known objects that never comes close enough to the solar system's giant planets, like Neptune and Jupiter, to have significant gravitational interactions with them.
"These so-called Inner Oort Cloud objects like 2015 TG387, 2012 VP113, and Sedna are isolated from most of the Solar System's known mass, which makes them immensely interesting," said Scott Sheppard, from Carnegie.
"They can be used as probes to understand what is happening at the edge of our Solar System," said Sheppard.
The object with the most-distant orbit at perihelion, 2012 VP113, was also discovered by Sheppard and Trujillo, who announced that find in 2014.
The discovery of 2012 VP113 led Sheppard and Trujillo to notice similarities of the orbits of several extremely distant solar system objects, and they proposed the presence of an unknown planet several times larger than Earth — sometimes called Planet X or Planet 9 — orbiting the Sun well beyond Pluto at hundreds of AUs.
"We think there could be thousands of small bodies like 2015 TG387 out on the Solar System's fringes, but their distance makes finding them very difficult," said David Tholen from University of Hawaii.
"Currently we would only detect 2015 TG387 when it is near its closest approach to the Sun. For some 99 per cent of its 40,000-year orbit, it would be too faint to see," he said.
The object was discovered as part of the team's ongoing hunt for unknown dwarf planets and Planet X. It is the largest and deepest survey ever conducted for distant Solar System objects. — PTI.


If fossilized nonhuman lives appear as stone, Foucault's infamous human lives appear as ashes or dried plants and flowers organized in an herbarium as an "anthology of existences." And just as fossils appear as pictorial poems in the sedimented archive of nature, so too archival "poem-lives" appear in asylum registers and police reports to mark the passage of beings... Further, Foucault tells us, their matter matters: unlike literary characters, he says, these beings "lived and died," appearing to him only in their death, as a fossil would, in the form of petrified insect, fish, or worm. To be sure, unlike the fossil, the poem-life appears to us because of an encounter with power which, in striking down a life and turning it to ashes, makes it emerge, like a flash, out of the anonymous murmur of beings who pass without a trace.

Hey everyone! I thought it might be fun since it is a new year to talk about what everyone's projects or goals are for 2019?!
A lot of my year will be dedicated to embroidering my Cloud City Leia Cloak but when I need to take a break I plan on making Leia's senatorial gown and fixing/improving upon aspects of my Rey costumes.
My current project and goal, is to have my first cosplay approved so I can join the Legion but will have the cosplay ready for FanExpo at the least. after that, I have not decided what the next project will be.
Awesome! What character are you working on?? Is it Barriss Offee like your username?
Oh nice, I have a rebels Ahsoka planned at some point so having a Bariss would be cool.
I (finally after um 3.5 years) submitted my Twi'lek Jedi last week Once that's approved I think I will also see if I need it separately approved without the headpiece because I can only wear that for an hour or so before the headache gets to me.
I don't have any more costumes on the horizon for myself but I'm still trying to get all the pieces for my dad's Han costume. I had the pants and shirt custom made as well as the holster. We've been waiting nearly 2 years for the jacket from Anovos (ya I know...Anovos, but it was only $350 compared to the $750 from other decent makers). I've been sent two pair of boots from the maker and he made them too small the first time, and gigantic (we're talking 3-4 full sizes too big) the second time. It's now been well over a year since the first pair was finished so I'm starting to get pretty discouraged.
I'm also trying to get my mom to decide which Leia she wants to build. She's picky about colours and hates the olive green/grey of the jumpsuit which would be the easiest one and most comfy. We may end up with the blue dress unless there are some new outfits in the upcoming episode (I think they said they may use some deleted scenes of her in the new one?).
Congrats on the submit Tammy!!
Oh wow, I honestly thought they were the same outfit LOL. Same jacket? They are beautiful but I'm not sure where to find someone who could make them. Any ideas?
I would recommend checking out the Leia Cosplay FB group! There are lots of Leia costumers there that do commissions.
Unfortunately this will be the first Fan Expo I've had to miss Hubby gets home from sailing the Friday it starts and I can't turn around and say "bye"...well I could, but he would be very sad.
Will you be coming to Victoria for Capital City Comic Con?

Life...And All It Entails is the second full-length album by Enochian Theory  The album received its worldwide major label release via Mascot records on March 12, 2012.

Conception
Following extensive touring in support of Evolution: Creatio Ex Nihilio through 2009 and 2010, Ben Harris-Hayes began writing new material in early 2011, trying new ideas and implementing some of the new techniques he had learned in the previous few years.
In mid-2011, with 90% of the album written and in listenable demo format, Ben shared his demos with Shaun and Sam for listening and they began working together on the bass and drums.
The band began working officially on their second full-length album and first original recording for new label, Mascot Records. The album was composed and ready for production in August 2011.

Recording
The band entered Aubitt Studios in Southampton, UK with engineer/mixer, Rob Aubrey to record the new album. They had met and worked with him the previous year during the band's tour with Spocks Beard. Rob's previous history with artists such as IQ, Tony Levin and Transatlantic only helped with the decision for the band to work with him on this important record. Aubrey recorded and mixed the album with the band over the course of several weeks.

The finished album would feature thirteen tracks comprising twelve new compositions and a remastered version of The Fire Around The Lotus from their previous album.

The band also returned to artist Robin Portnoff who had provided the striking visuals for the band's previous release. Since that release,  they had always considered Robin as a very important part of the band and it was only right he completed the artwork for the new album, expanding on the visual world he'd created for the band.

Release and reception
The new album "Life... And All It Entails" was released on March 12, 2012 and once again gained high appreciation within the European Press. Steven Wilson of the band Porcupine Tree, praised the new album, commenting on the production and craftsmanship of the song writing.

 Classic Rock Magazine Prog -  said of the album "Less than two years after the release of their debut full-length, the dizzyingly kaleidoscopic Evolution: Creatio Ex Nihilio, Enochian Theory have again assembled an astonishing broad and brave collection of subtly subversive art rock... "
 Powerplay Magazine -  rated the album 10 out of 10 stars and said of the album "An outstanding second release from the brightest stars on the UK prog scene." and "...ET goes from strength to strength"

Music video
Enochian Theory shot a music video for the track "Inversions" with the UK production company "One Name Films". This video would feature "The Lost Orchestra" visually for the first time and was released for internet viewing in May 2012.
