This document describes the current stable version of Celery (4.0). For development docs, go here.
celery beat is a scheduler; It kicks off tasks at regular intervals, that are then executed by available worker nodes in the cluster.
By default the entries are taken from the beat_schedule setting, but custom stores can also be used, like storing the entries in a SQL database.
You have to ensure only a single scheduler is running for a schedule at a time, otherwise you'd end up with duplicate tasks. Using a centralized approach means the schedule doesn't have to be synchronized, and the service can operate without using locks.
The periodic task schedules uses the UTC time zone by default, but you can change the time zone used using the timezone setting.
This setting must be added to your app, either by configuration it directly using (app.conf.timezone = 'Europe/London'), or by adding it to your configuration module if you have set one up using app.config_from_object. See Configuration for more information about configuration options.
The default scheduler (storing the schedule in the celerybeat-schedule file) will automatically detect that the time zone has changed, and so will reset the schedule itself, but other schedulers may not be so smart (e.g., the Django database scheduler, see below) and in that case you'll have to reset the schedule manually.
Celery recommends and is compatible with the new USE_TZ setting introduced in Django 1.4.
For Django users the time zone specified in the TIME_ZONE setting will be used, or you can specify a custom time zone for Celery alone by using the timezone setting.
To call a task periodically you have to add an entry to the beat schedule list.
# Calls test('hello') every 10 seconds.
# Executes every Monday morning at 7:30 a.m.
Setting these up from within the on_after_configure handler means that we'll not evaluate the app at module level when using test.s().
Example: Run the tasks.add task every 30 seconds.
If you're wondering where these settings should go then please see Configuration. You can either set these options on your app directly or you can keep a separate module for configuration.
If you want to use a single item tuple for args , don't forget that the constructor is a comma, and not a pair of parentheses.
Using a timedelta for the schedule means the task will be sent in 30 second intervals (the first task will be sent 30 seconds after celery beat starts, and then every 30 seconds after the last run).
A Crontab like schedule also exists, see the section on Crontab schedules.
Like with cron, the tasks may overlap if the first task doesn't complete before the next. If that's a concern you should use a locking strategy to ensure only one instance can run at a time (see for example Ensuring a task is only executed one at a time).
The name of the task to execute.
This can be the number of seconds as an integer, a timedelta, or a crontab. You can also define your own custom schedule types, by extending the interface of schedule.
Positional arguments (list or tuple).
This can be any argument supported by apply_async() – exchange , routing_key , expires , and so on.
If relative is true timedelta schedules are scheduled "by the clock." This means the frequency is rounded to the nearest second, minute, hour or day depending on the period of the timedelta.
By default relative is false, the frequency isn't rounded and will be relative to the time when celery beat was started.
The syntax of these Crontab expressions are very flexible.
crontab(minute=0, hour=0) Execute daily at midnight.
crontab(minute=0, hour='*/3') Execute every three hours: midnight, 3am, 6am, 9am, noon, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm.
crontab(minute='*/15') Execute every 15 minutes.
crontab(day_of_week='sunday') Execute every minute (!) at Sundays.
Execute every ten minutes, but only between 3-4 am, 5-6 pm, and 10-11 pm on Thursdays or Fridays.
crontab(minute=0, hour='*/5') Execute hour divisible by 5. This means that it is triggered at 3pm, not 5pm (since 3pm equals the 24-hour clock value of "15", which is divisible by 5).
crontab(minute=0, hour='*/3,8-17') Execute every hour divisible by 3, and every hour during office hours (8am-5pm).
crontab(0, 0, day_of_month='2') Execute on the second day of every month.
Execute on every even numbered day.
Execute on the first and third weeks of the month.
Execute on the eleventh of May every year.
Execute on the first month of every quarter.
See celery.schedules.crontab for more documentation.
dawn_astronomical Execute at the moment after which the sky is no longer completely dark. This is when the sun is 18 degrees below the horizon.
dawn_nautical Execute when there's enough sunlight for the horizon and some objects to be distinguishable; formally, when the sun is 12 degrees below the horizon.
dawn_civil Execute when there's enough light for objects to be distinguishable so that outdoor activities can commence; formally, when the Sun is 6 degrees below the horizon.
sunrise Execute when the upper edge of the sun appears over the eastern horizon in the morning.
solar_noon Execute when the sun is highest above the horizon on that day.
sunset Execute when the trailing edge of the sun disappears over the western horizon in the evening.
dusk_civil Execute at the end of civil twilight, when objects are still distinguishable and some stars and planets are visible. Formally, when the sun is 6 degrees below the horizon.
dusk_nautical Execute when the sun is 12 degrees below the horizon. Objects are no longer distinguishable, and the horizon is no longer visible to the naked eye.
dusk_astronomical Execute at the moment after which the sky becomes completely dark; formally, when the sun is 18 degrees below the horizon.
All solar events are calculated using UTC, and are therefore unaffected by your timezone setting.
In polar regions, the sun may not rise or set every day. The scheduler is able to handle these cases (i.e., a sunrise event won't run on a day when the sun doesn't rise). The one exception is solar_noon, which is formally defined as the moment the sun transits the celestial meridian, and will occur every day even if the sun is below the horizon.
Twilight is defined as the period between dawn and sunrise; and between sunset and dusk. You can schedule an event according to "twilight" depending on your definition of twilight (civil, nautical, or astronomical), and whether you want the event to take place at the beginning or end of twilight, using the appropriate event from the list above.
See celery.schedules.solar for more documentation.
To daemonize beat see Daemonization.
Custom scheduler classes can be specified on the command-line (the -S argument).
The default scheduler is the celery.beat.PersistentScheduler, that simply keeps track of the last run times in a local shelve database file.
There's also the django-celery-beat extension that stores the schedule in the Django database, and presents a convenient admin interface to manage periodic tasks at runtime.
Note that there is no dash in the module name, only underscores.
Visit the Django-Admin interface to set up some periodic tasks.

The women of Raqqa have suffered greatly in the last five years. It was not just the ISIS cruelty. ISIS itself is a product of the barbaric mindset the statist capital system causes. It was The Man who took everything in his own hands and put himself to the center of life and led to the emergence of such vile organizations.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region (Kurdistan 24) – Turkey's pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) filed a second criminal complaint in a month on Saturday against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan over his earlier remarks calling the party's imprisoned co-chair Selahattin Demirtas a "terrorist."

16 August/Al Monitor
Syrian Kurds are taking critical steps to deal with the threat of being caught in a vise between their worsening relations with the Damascus regime, and Turkey's possible cross-border operations. Syria's Kurds have just proposed a new governmental structure comprising three federal regions and six cantons in the Democratic Federal System of Northern Syria (previously known as Rojava). They have devised a three-phase election calendar to decide who will run these new areas.
http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2017/08/turkey-syria-kurds-fear-improved-ties-ankara-washington.html#ixzz4qJtjvN1e
We wrote here last month that US-Russian coordination on Syria could "be a catalyst for a new alignment that brings Turkey closer to Syria and Iran, while testing the limits and extent of Moscow's influence among the regional players."

18 August/World View
Politics and war make for strange bedfellows, as Iran and Turkey can attest. The two countries, historically rivals, are laying aside some of their differences to focus on common priorities: managing the Syrian civil war and slowing the Kurds' progress toward greater autonomy.

14 August/The Region
Judge Essa Moosa passed away at the end of February (2017). His death – its timing – seemed symbolic. For his had been a consistent voice of optimism, of hope, in the quest for a peaceful, political solution to the long and bloody conflict between the Turkish state and the Kurdish Freedom Movement.

On September 25, Iraqi Kurds will head to the polls not only in Iraqi Kurdistan, but also in territories disputed between Erbil and Baghdad to vote in a referendum on whether Iraqi Kurdistan should become independent. Masoud Barzani, the region's de facto president (his term expired two years ago but he refused to step down), has written that the referendum will be binding.

17 August/The LIST
Named after the Kurdish saying 'There is one world, a thousand doorways', this solo piece details American storyteller Diane Edgecombe's quest to rescue the traditions of a dying culture by gathering tales from the mountains. It is a very sincere performance, in which Edgecombe shows the depth of her research and travel. However, it lacks natural rhythm, which results in the 90-minute runtime feeling excessive rather than well earned.

It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie (2002)
If you're not already a fan of the Muppets, "It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas" is a bad place to start. In fact, if you're only a casual fan, this probably isn't for you, either. It's an uneven movie: there's a solid chunk that just throws dated pop-culture references at you, including a particularly painful parody of the Crocodile Hunter I'm betting the producers are now wishing they'd skipped.
But, for all of that, if you are a die-hard Muppet fan, this made-for-television movie is something you need to track down. It's imperfect, but what it does well it does REALLY well. Structured like "It's a Wonderful Life," the movie explores a world without Kermit. For the minor characters, this is accomplished in a fairly unremarkable scene using the movie's villainess (more on her in a moment). But for the really major characters - Fozzie, Gonzo, and Miss Piggy - another approach is taken.
The events of the 1979 Muppet Movie are never directly addressed. No one talks about how they met or their first adventure together. But, with utmost care and attention to detail, the movie creates an alternate universe where Kermit never traveled across the country and pulled these characters into his dreams. It rewinds the characters' lives, removes that moment, then leaps to the future. And, in each case, the depiction feels completely right.
How much care and thought was put into this? I'll put it like this: there's a scene in the alternate world where Kermit stares in horror and disbelief at a Doc Hopper's restaurant, which is now a national franchise.
In addition, there are some surprisingly good non-Muppet characters and moments. The frame story involves an angel going to God to plead Kermit's case. The depictions of Heaven and God - played by Whoppi Goldberg - are absolutely brilliant.
The movie's villain is played by Joan Cusack, who's always great. She's almost a Muppet, herself, and she strikes an incredible balance here. The role is basically an over-the-top caricature of a cartoon villain obsessed with money, but Cusack plays it with such humor you almost sympathize. She's an brilliant banker who's sick of self-righteous idealists prattling on about dreams. It's not hard to see her point, particularly when she's able to get the upper hand in almost every interaction.
Again, if you're not a fan of the Muppets yet, this one isn't going to change that. This movie's strength comes from its relationship with the Muppet Movie: if you haven't seen that, you shouldn't see this. But, if you are a fan who's seen The Muppet Movie a half dozen times, you're going to be impressed with this one. I know I was.

for file in os.listdir('.'):
    if fnmatch.fnmatch(file, 'out'+str(c)+'*.jpg'):
        print(file)
        c +=1

However, when I run this script,the output is limited to the following:
out1.jpg
out2a.jpg
out3.jpg

Anyone please has an idea how to change the script in order to display all the filenames that match (which are the 5 filenames that I mentioned)?

A: You are increasing c on each iteration (well, on each iteration that found a match but anyway...), so it cannot obviously match "out2a.jpg" AND "out2b.jpg". Assuming you want all file names that match "out" + some number + eventually something else, you can use character ranges instead; ie:
for file in os.listdir('.'):
    if fnmatch.fnmatch(file, 'out[0-9]*.jpg'):
        print(file)

NB : you might have to adjust the exact fnmatch pattern according to your needs and what you have in your directory.
You can also use glob.glob instead, which is both simpler and (according to the doc) more efficient:
import glob
for file in glob("out[0-9]*.jpg"):
    print(file)

EDIT :

I totally understand why it does not display out2a.jpg and out2b.jpg together, but I didn't get why out4.jpg is not displayed!

Quite simply because os.listdir() does not necessarily returns the filenames in the same order as you seemed to expect (on my linux station here, "out4.jpg" comes before the other "outXXX.jpg" files). You can inspect what's happening just by adding a couple prints:
c = 1
for file in os.listdir('.'):
    exp = 'out{}*.jpg'.format(c)
    print("file: {} - c : {} - exp : {}".format(file, c, exp))
    if fnmatch.fnmatch(file, exp):
        print(file)
        c +=1

And the result here:
file: sofnm.py~ - c : 1 - exp : out1*.jpg
file: out4.jpg - c : 1 - exp : out1*.jpg
file: out2b.jpg - c : 1 - exp : out1*.jpg
file: out1.jpg - c : 1 - exp : out1*.jpg
out1.jpg
file: out2a.jpg - c : 2 - exp : out2*.jpg
out2a.jpg
file: sofnm.py - c : 3 - exp : out3*.jpg
file: out42a.jpg - c : 3 - exp : out3*.jpg
file: out3.jpg - c : 3 - exp : out3*.jpg
out3.jpg

As you can see, your assumption that os.listdir() would return the files in a given order (starting with "out1.jpg" and ending with "out4.jpg") was wrong. As a general rule, when your code don't behave as you expect, tracing the code execution (and the relevant values) is most often the simplest way to find out why.

A: You are incrementing c after a file match, it is quite possible that file name is out2a.jpg but the value of c is 1. So, it will not match. You should either list all the files in ascending order so that out1 will come before out2 in listdir or you should use a generic numeric match instead of one by one like shown below:
import fnmatch
import os

for file in os.listdir('.'):
    #print(file)
    if fnmatch.fnmatch(file, 'out[0-9]*.jpg'):
        print(file)

A: Running through this for loop, you're checking each file in the directory against a very specific file name (first out1*.jpg, then out2*.jpg) with no guarantee that the order of these files matches. When I tried to run the code locally for example, it first compared out2a.jpg with the pattern out1*.jpg, then out2b.jpg with out2*.jpg, then test.py (the script) with out3*.jpg.
You'd be better off using a module like glob (https://docs.python.org/3/library/glob.html) to search for 'out*.jpg': glob.glob('out[0-9]*.jpg').

You're sitting in class waiting for the professor to begin when a girl bursts in through the door. She's huffing and puffing, which clearly indicates that she at least hurried to your classroom, and you have to wonder why. She drops her book bag on the floor, takes a step forward towards the class, and starts her speech. She goes so quickly, you almost miss half of what was said. The professor looks at her in disbelief and questions her if she could go any faster. The girl replies by saying that the speech she just gave was the short, slow version. You can imagine how much would be missed had she given the class the fast version.
This scenario actually happened to me, and the presentation she gave was on the benefits of volunteering abroad. The only word that I was able to pick out from the presentation was white-water rafting, which got me interested, and I wanted to know more information. She passed out a flier for a presentation that was being held on campus, but since I'm a very busy student, I couldn't make that either. What she or the head honchos of the program could have done, was design a custom USB drive to hold all of the information that I would need or want to know about their program.
They could include items such as the lists of activities most students do at the places they visit, the type of volunteering opportunities there are, and the benefits of volunteering. They could also include a generic video of the meeting I would have attended and maybe even personal testimonies of other students who have taken advantage of their program. Pictures of the places you would stay would help excite people, as well, especially if there are pictures of the people actually doing the activities.
Also included on the flash drive should be contact information so that should I or anyone else wish to join their program, I don't have to search online, and it wouldn't hurt to talk about the pricing of each trip. Adding payment plan options or financial aid that might be available is something that will factor in the decision making process of joining the program, too.
After they have all of this information loaded onto the flash drive, a presenter entering a classroom could easily hand these out with a flier to those who are interested. That way, if the interested person wants to get more information on the program or the costs, they can easily plug the flash drive into a computer and pull up all of the information they would need to know. This would save the presenter from having to memorize and deliver a three second speech.


I can't believe that I'm about to type tar xvfj linux-2.6.1.tar.bz2. I must be insane.
Well, I got everything compiled and it did boot. Unfortunately, I didn't have it compile the tulip driver for my NIC (oops). It also pukes on iptables and with my UPS monitoring stuff. Relatively small hurdles.

CNN reports that Bob Keeshan, AKA Captain Kangaroo, died today at the age of 76. Another part of our childhood is gone.
News.com.org.edu.tv.info reports that for all intents and purposes, United Linux is dead. You may recall that United Linux was a joint effort of SuSE, Turbolinux, Conectiva, and Caldera (now SCO). Basically, SCO's anti-Linux saber-rattling made it impossible for the group to do anything. I don't think that they'll be missed. Thanks Slashdot.
Here's a good one: Microsoft is looking to patent methods of accessing their Office XML documents. Sweet. They're telling anyone who will listen that they're moving to open formats and standards, and then they make it impossible to access those supposedly open formats. I'd swear, but it's not worth it anymore . . .
The DVD Copy Control Association has dropped its case against Andrew Bunner for posting the DeCSS code. Basically, the court felt that CSS was no longer a trade secret. Thus, the DVD CAA decided to cut its losses. I'm not sure, but it would seem that this would remove any threats to people like me who want to use libdvdcss to watch the DVDs they bought in Linux. I suppose they could charge him with a DCMA violation, but if they would lose, the results would be catastrophic.
It is officially brutally cold up here. The Weather Channel says that it is -8F with -33F windchill. My thermometer says -12F. I just got done shoveling the snow. I had to stop three times to come in and warm up. I don't mind winter weather, but this is ridiculous. I'll try not to think that Orlando was (and probably is) at least 80 degrees warmer.
I had to chuckle when I saw that according to an MIT survey the cellphone is the most hated yet most needed piece of technology. When I was flying down to Orlando and back, I was amazed at the number of people talking on cellphones. 95% of the conversations went something like this, "I'm at the airport. The airport. No, I'm not on the plane yet. I'm still at the airport." A couple of people were conducting business too, but the majority were using theirs as a way to kill time. I whittled away my time playing yahtC or listening to MP3s on my PDA.
In a mostly unrelated note: I wonder how Chicago O'Hare airport got the woman from the opening sequence in Half-Life to do their pre-recorded announcements. It was especially odd hearing that on the moving sidewalks. Thankfully, no goateed guys with orange and black jumpsuits came running by, screaming about "containment failures."
In a absolutely unrelated note: It was interesting just to sit and listen as I waited for my return flight from Orlando. Next to me was a British man talking on his cellphone. Beyond that were two German men in black turtlenecks talking about something on a laptop. To my left was a family speaking Spanish. A little further down was a family speaking (I assume) Korean. Quite the melting pot experience. I don't get to see that much in Northern Wisconsin.

Puji Temple
Puji Temple (Chinese: 普济禅寺; Hanyu Pinyin: Pǔjì Chánsì; literally "Zen Temple of Universal Salvation") is a Buddhist temple located on the island of Putuoshan in Zhejiang province, China.
The temple is now a tourist attraction as the island is significant in Chinese Buddhism. In January 2004, entry tickets to the temple cost 5元 per person.
Built in 916, at the time it was called 不肯去观音院 (pinyin bu ken qu guanyin yuan).
In 1080, during the Song Dynasty (960-1279), the Emperor Shenzong of Song China renamed the temple 宝陀观音寺 (pinyin bao tuo guanyin si). Shen Zong donated lands to the temple, and a new monk was ordained every year. (After the temple was renamed, the old name for the temple was still used to refer to a nearby hill, 紫竹林 (pinyin zi zhu lin), on which a 20 metre tall Guanyin now stands.) The monks studied Buddhism and the temple slowly prospered.
In 1214, still in the Song Dynasty, Emperor Ningzong of Song China donated tens of thousands of min (lines of cash) to the temple and presented them with a sign reading 'General Funds Hall' (圆通宝殿; yuan tong bao dian).
In 1298 by order of Emperor Chengzong of the Yuan Dynasty, 李英 (li ying) repaired the temple, completing in 1301. The monks were given over 4000 mu (2.7 km²) of land, and 20 min of government funds. In 1299, the abbot of the temple (一山一宁; yi shan yi ning) was appointed the director of Buddhist teaching for the region (江浙释教总统; jiangzhe shijiao zongtong) and was sent as an emissary to Japan by the emperor.
In the winter of 1313, Emperor Renzong's mother sent an envoy to present the temple with 868 metal bars and three qing of land, and to make offerings.
In 1327, Emperor Taiding presented the temple with 1000 metal bars and 2 qing 26 mu of land.
In 1386, during the Ming Dynasty, Duke Tang (汤和; Tang He) worked was asked to come to the mainland advise the Emperor. He brought with him 30,000 people from 46 islands, including the monks of Putuoshan. At the same time, Duke Tang ordered the burning of 300 temples on Putuoshan. He also moved a large statue of Guanyin to a temple (郡东栖心寺; jun dong xi xin si) on the mainland, which was then renamed to 普陀 (pu tuo). (The temple is now known as Qita Temple. It is located in Ningbo.)
In 1515, the Buddhist community began to recover through donations and alms.
In 1553, the Ming government under the Jiajing Emperor moved the monks and destroyed temples once more.
In 1572, a monk named Zhen Song (真松) came to Putuoshan to help rebuild it to its former glory.
In 1574, a monk named Zhen Biao (真表) wanted to ascend the mountain to locate the site of old Bao Guo Si (宝陀寺), destroyed 200 years previously, but was not allowed. Despite this, he still ascended the mountain and located the old site of the temple, and managed to rebuild a small monastery, only to have it destroyed by a military commander named Xu Jing Xing (徐景星). Afterwards, Zhou Liangbin (周良宾), a Ningbo government official had Zhen Biao and a group of nuns punished. Fours years later, Zhen Biao was made abbot. He had the Hall of Heavenly Kings one another hall (云会尝; yunhuichang) built.
916: Temple built as 不肯去观音院.
1080: Emperor Shenzong renames the temple 宝陀观音寺.
1214: Emperor Ningzong made a large donation to the temple.
1298: Chengzong orders Li Ying to repair the temple. Repairs are completed in 1301. The temple receives land and government funds.
1299: The abbot of the temple is appointed director of Buddhist teaching for the region and is sent as an emissary to Japan by the Emperor.
1313 (Winter): Emperor Renzong's mother sends an envoy to present the temple with further funds and land, and to make offerings.

Crash Twinsanity er det ellevte spil i Crash Bandicoot-serien, selv om det er det femte kronologisk set. Det blev udgivet af Vivendi Universal Games og udviklet af Traveller's Tales til PlayStation 2 og Xbox. Det blev udgivet i Nordamerika den 28. september 2004 og i Europa den 8. oktober 2004.
Spillets historie foregår tre år efter begivenhederne i Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, og følger hovedpersonen og den vigtigste antagonist i serien, Crash Bandicoot og Doctor Neo Cortex, da de er tvunget til at arbejde sammen om at stoppe de onde Twins, en duo af papegøjer, der planlægger at ødelægge Wumpa Island (N. Sanity) og stjæle Dr.Neo Cortex's hjerne.

Gameplay
Crash Twinsanity adskiller sig væsentligt i gameplay fra sin forgænger Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex. Spillet er stort set spillet i en frit rummelig stil, og plottet er nu skubbet frem ved at gå gennem niveauer, i stedet for at indsamle krystaller.
Gems spredt i hele niveauer kan indhentes til at låse ekstraudstyr op såsom concept art. Crash's kontrolstil er stort set den samme som de tidligere spil, selv om han ikke har forskellige nye manøvre. Ligesom Jak og Daxter-serien, er Crash undervejs ledsaget af en anden karakter, i dette tilfælde hans ærkefjende Doctor Neo Cortex. Crash kan bruge Cortex som en hammer, udføre et snurre-angreb, mens du holder på ham, kaste ham over huller for at aktivere kontakter, og kan endda bruge ham som et snowboard.

I nogle områder af spillet, såsom Academy of Evil, vil Cortex gå solo, bevæbnet med en strålepistol og en begrænset mængde ammunition hvor han skal bekæmpe  forstanderinden af Academy of Evil Madame Amberly. En anden kontrollerbar karakter er Cortex's niece, Nina Cortex. Hun kæmper gennem niveauerne ved at bruge sine mekaniske arme og klatreevner. I den allersidste del af spillet, skal man styre alle 3 på skift. Crash går til sidst ind i robotten, kendt som Mecha-Bandicoot. Han er den sidste spilbar karakter og kan skyde plasmastråler.

Looking to the Lone Star of Conscience
Each New Border Agent Costs $187,000 (Times 4,400 Per Year)
mopress	Uncategorized	 July 21, 2010 1 Minute
By Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL)
June 12, 2007 (H6272-H6273)
I also remain concerned about the ability of DHS to recruit and train an additional 3,000 new Border Patrol agents funded by the bill. Given attrition rates, this means that Border Patrol will need to hire and train approximately 4,400 agents a year. While I support putting more boots on the ground as quickly as possible, I am convinced that the current approach DHS is using cannot meet this goal.
I am also concerned that it continues to cost $187,000 to recruit, train and deploy just one Border Patrol agent. The Subcommittee on Management Investigations and Oversight plans to hold another hearing on Border Patrol agent training costs in its capacity next Tuesday. It is my hope that the findings from this hearing will be considered by the House and Senate conferees on this bill to improve the way DHS recruits and trains Border Patrol agents.
Note: $187,000 x 4,400 = $822.8 million

Well now we have one single set of linework that we want to apply to our mold, but our mold is made up of two surface. So, what to do? Well let's just split our base surface and linework in half!
Now, I must say that the quality of the junction between your surfaces matters greatly here. If the seam is not at least tangentially continuous, the lines will not match up exactly, and you may have trouble joining them. The workaround is quite simple – just temporarily increase the tolerance of your file, join the curves and then reset to the original tolerance value. Using this technique, you can split up your base linework however you need to flow it across multiple surfaces, which makes it very powerful.
This violates my cardinal rule of never having hard toolpath turnarounds on the mold surface. Also, why do we even need the tool to turn around? Couldn't we just have it travel in a spiral type toolpath? Wouldn't this make an insanely efficient milling strategy? Why yes, it would! I present to you, the Continuous plugin for making just such a toolpath. Load the plugin, and then type Continuous to start the command. You'll get a prompt for the tool diameter – for me I'm going to type in 0.5 since I use a 1/2″ ball end mill. Then it will ask you for a stock allowance – this is how much EXTRA you want to leave – maybe for hand sanding or finishing. For me, I just mill to my final surface level, so I always just put 0 for this. For stepover, I would typically use 0.02, but I'm just going to go with 0.o5 for this example. The last prompt can be a little confusing – MaxDistanceToSurfaceMachine. This is asking you "what is the widest part of your mold?" This is the same question you had to answer in the second installment of this series, where I showed you how to control your stepover. Let's just take the "width" of the part – by measuring the edge at the surface seam, I can see that edge is 5.8 units long.
That little slope in our line is set exactly so that when used in a situation like this, the end of the first line will match up exactly with the beginning of the second. I've added two point objects to the screen shot above to highlight the beginning and end of the toolpath. There are no hard turns in this toolpath, just one continuous motion. Amazing, no? You might also be saying "hey, you just gave us this cool little plugin to automate making the base linework for continuous machining, wouldn't it be great to have one for the more straight forward situations we've been discussing before this?" Yes, it would. Here is a plugin called StepOver which does just that. It has exactly the same prompts as Continuous, but it puts out ortho line segments, and runs Joiner on them automatically. I've been holding out on you, yes, but I wanted you to understand the reasoning behind what we're doing before we go ahead and automate portions of it.
I contacted McNeel about the crashes I've been having with FlowAlongSrf and very dense joined base linework. They were not able to replicate my issues, so it may just be me and my poor little Mac mini. However, I did find a nice workaround – just use Group on your base linework instead of join. Group will make it easier to select your lines when you do FlowAlongSrf, and does not seem to have the stability issues that I've had with Join-ed base linework.
Next time I'll show you how to actually get this stuff out of Rhino and into g-code!


Do you remember the episode of the Cosby Show when Theo commissioned Denise to make him a Gordon Gartrell replica woven shirt? For last month's issue of the Sew Sew Def magazine HERE, I drew inspiration from Theo's off-kilter woven shirt with the uneven pockets and the different length front panels. This dress might just be one of my favorite makes this season!
I used McCall's pattern M7472 with modications to make this dress. The blue striped fabric was purchased at The Fabric Outlet in San Francisco. I had other plans for the fabric originally but when I saw the two fabrics sitting next to each other, I could not resist putting them together! The red, white, and blue striped fabric was purchased at Mood fabrics online. The fabric is almost sold out and can be found HERE. Details on the modifications can be found in last month's issue of Sew Sew Def magazine.
What do you think did I make Denise's version of a Gordon Gartrell or something that you might wear? I would love to hear your feedback!
WOW, WOW, WOW!!! This is beautiful! You were really thinking outside of the box to make this. I love the pleats and the contrasting color scheme. Did this vision come at once or did you think of this creation gradually?
Thank you so much, Darlene!!! It was a gradual inspiration. First Theo's shirt, then the fabric, and Monser mixed a similar combination of the fabric in a design. Combining all of that….I came up with this concept.
Thank you so much, Jennifer! !!!
You are reading my mind… I saw a blouse online the other day that reminded me of that Cosby episode and I too was inspired to make a blouse. This just came to me a few days ago so I haven't did anything yet but it is on my things to do list. By the way, this look is FABULOUS!!! Great eye!
A lot of designers had similar concepts this season. It's as if they all watched the same reruns!!! Thank you so much, Evelyn!!!!
Thank you so much !!! The shirtdress is such a classic. It doesnt hurt to give it a little twist. I agree with your son…you should make one!!
You totally nailed it! This is a game changer! Beautiful beautiful beautiful!
Thank you so, so much, Zina!!!

New movement has young people moving to small towns
By Amanda Venegas
FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- There's a new energy in Fresno these days and it's attracting more people to the fifth biggest city in California.
"I think it's becoming more and more viable to be in Fresno as a young person. I think the belief you can do anything from here is beginning to resonate and be proved out," said Jake Soberal of Bitwise Industries CEO.
Soberal was recently interviewed for a TIME article about the movement of young people moving to small towns. After graduating from Clovis High, Soberal went to college on the East Coast and ultimately came home.
"When I looked at building a career and a life, I wanted to do that in a place where I cared about where that work would have a positive impact on the place that produced me," Soberal said.
Fresno is also attracting new businesses like Studio to Be, a place for journalists and storytellers. Their flagship is in Oakland and they are planning on opening a second location here in the Valley where they will work on their production company and plan to open a small bar.
"Fresno in our analysis is one of the prototypical communities in the United States. It's a second city. It has a lot of underdog kind of issues. It also has the strength and grit that's required to work our way out of a highly polarized environment," said Joaquin Alvarado of Studio to Be.
The viability and affordability of Fresno is an attractive feature for businesses and residents.
Bitwise is creating a new facility and believes it's just the tip of the iceberg of seeing more companies created in Fresno. Soberal points to the revitalization of downtown and Fresno state as positive features in our community.
"The exciting thing about Fresno today is anything is possible here, but you still have the opportunity to be a real pioneer and stakeholder in building this place," Soberal said.

Reiki Massage combines the techniques of reiki and massage therapy to provide an overall healing touch to patients who experience chronic pain, emotional issues, or other physical ailments.
Massage therapists often study Reiki in massage continuing education classes, and other types of energy healing, as continuing education to enhance their already established massage practice.
Reiki is a combination of two Japanese words, "Rei" and "Ki", which means "universal life force".
It is believed that each of us has the life force within us, but at times, we need the transfer of someone else's energy to encourage a restoration of our own.
Energy healing work is based on the theory that with the transfer of energy from practitioner to patient, the body's natural energy is regained, allowing the body to heal itself.
Understanding the chakras can benefit the massage therapist or energy work practitioner to help understand the balance of the whole body/mind system.
Reiki massage supports restoration of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual balance which allows health and healing.
Many people see this therapy as a form of energy healing, with the laying on of hands and energy exchange, the client takes energy from the therapist as needed, and it becomes a "deeply felt" gift.
Because everyday stress creates blockages in the body, Reiki provides the ability for the body to re-balance on many levels.
A treatment is a simple process that allows the body to encourage balance through energy healing and the palms of the practitioner's hands. It is very safe and creates an increased sense of harmony.
Those who practice Reiki assist clients in developing a more positive health outlook by supporting consciousness toward good health. It allows for a more positive atmosphere for healing at the source and origin of the problem, so that body, mind, and spirit can heal as well.
Reiki is taught to students by a qualified Reiki Master, either in a massage continuing education class or through video/DVD. It is taught in three levels called degrees, which are workshops of various lengths and times.
First Degree Reiki is used for self-healing and providing Reiki to another person who is physically present with the practitioner. Second Degree Reiki is used to provide Reiki when the other person is at a distance.
Third Degree Reiki is the Master Level, which is reserved for those who want to dedicate themselves to teaching Reiki.
Reiki massage practitioners can be found through other health care providers such as physicians and nurse practitioners.
Keep in mind that they are usually trained in other therapies like massage therapy, reflexology, or yoga, so you can often find someone who practices through holistic or wellness centers, or even health food stores.
This therapy uses life force energy, to help provide mental, physical, and emotional healing for you or someone you care about.
In the DVD, Usui Reiki Master Laiya Moniak, discusses how energy works in the body, and how chakras and auric bodies affect our well-being. This is great information for therapists and those interested in seeking a therapist.
Reiki is a safe therapy that supports your health and healing along with other complementary healing approaches. It is used in hospitals and health centers all over the world.

The International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC), an Islamic Development Bank Group (IDB) member, has signed a US$300mn facility with Tunisia to finance the import of petroleum products.
A spokesperson for the ITFC confirms to GTR that the one-off murahaba facility, made with the Tunisian Refining Industries Company (STIR), is split into two US150mn six-month tranches to be drawn one after the other during a one-year period.
The facility falls under a framework agreement between the ITFC and the Tunisian government that aims to fund key sectors of the Tunisian economy via a pre-determined list of state-owned entities, and is accompanied by a guarantee made with the country's economy and finance ministry.
This agreement is in line with ITFC's mandate of contributing to the development of trade finance in our member countries.
At the signing of the agreements in a ceremony at the ITFC headquarters in Jeddah, the corporation's acting CEO, Eng. Hani Sonbol, commented: "This agreement is in line with ITFC's mandate of contributing to the development of trade finance in our member countries."
The murahaba agreement, a shariah-compliant non-interest bearing loan, and the guarantee agreement, were signed by Sonbol and CEO at STIR, Mohamed Chaari, and Tunisian state secretary for development and international cooperation, Noureddine Zekri.
"This signing reflects the successful partnership with ITFC and the IDB in general," says Zekri. "This operation is also a revival of business in Tunisia, where it helps to secure the supply of petroleum products and supporting economic growth."
The co-operation's spokesperson tells GTR that the ITFC has four other signed agreements with Tunisian state-owned entities: the National Company of Cellulose and Esparto Paper (SNCPA), Société Tunisienne de Sidérurgie-Elfouladh, the Tunisian National Company for Textile, and the Tunisian Phosphate & Fertilizers Company.
"We are supporting economically strategic sectors in Tunisia, like energy and food, that have a direct impact on the country's economy," says the spokesperson.

Anthony Cedrone is set to become the new assistant superintendent for business in the Wantagh School District.
Anthony Cedrone has been the assistant superintendent for business in the Carle Place district since 2007.
Cedrone will take over from the current assistant superintendent, Adriana Silver, who is retiring, on July 1. He has been the assistant superintendent for business in the Carle Place Union Free School District since 2007.
The Wantagh Board of Education selected Cedrone for the position on March 14. He has lived in Wantagh since 2003 with his wife, Melissa, and their three children, Gianna, 13, Landon, 10, and Rowan, 6.
A 1996 graduate of Queens College with bachelor's degrees in accounting and economics, Cedrone worked at Avis Car Rental in Carle Place from 1995 to 1999. While there, he made contacts at Deloitte, a Big Four accounting firm in Manhattan, and after becoming a certified public accountant in 2000, he worked for Deloitte until the following year.
Cedrone then took a position as an auditor at Hofstra University while working toward his master's in business administration, which he received in 2003. "It was while I was at Hofstra, getting that degree, that I decided I wanted to jump into public schools," he said, "so I needed some additional credits." He received a professional certificate in school business administration from LIU Post in 2004.
He became the treasurer of the South Country Public School District, in Patchogue, that year. In 2005, he was named the assistant superintendent for business in Merrick, where he stayed until 2007, when he took the position in Carle Place.
Twelve years ago, Cedrone interviewed for the position in Wantagh. But Wantagh's interview schedule was a few weeks longer than Carle Place's, so he decided to accept his soon-to-be-former job. "To me, it's kind of funny, or ironic, that the two places I interviewed in 12 years ago, now I'm kind of swapping," he said.
Another, more local challenge involves Nassau County's ongoing reassessment process, he said, adding that he has found that people do not fully understand that process. "I look at my job as making sure that I've explained it in a way that they actually understand," he said.
Cedrone belongs to a number of professional organizations. He is president of the Nassau County School Workers Compensation Cooperative, a member of the New York Association of School Business Officials and the International Association of School Business Officials, and a past president of the Nassau County Association of School Business Officials. He is a former volunteer with the Valley Stream Fire Department and the current vice president of the department's Chemical Engine and Hose Company No. 2.

Brown Presents Plan to Ease Prison Overcrowding
Tuesday, August 27, 2013 | Sacramento, CA
California Governor Jerry Brown, surrounded by legislative leaders and supporters, presents his plan to reduce prison overcrowding on August 27, 2013.
Katie Orr, Capital Public Radio
Brown has made it clear he doesn't think California needs to do any more to ease prison overcrowding. He notes the inmate population has dropped by 45,000 since 2006. But multiple federal judges have not been convinced and have repeatedly ordered the state to further reduce overcrowding. That could happen by releasing inmates or finding more space.
Brown chose finding more space. He said it was really his only option.
"The only way to comply with that, consistent with public safety, consistent with maintaining the reforms we've already introduced is to purchase additional capacity," he said. "That's the plan."
The initial cost of Brown's plan will be $315 million to lease additional cell space. About 8,000 inmates will be transferred from state prisons to other facilities in California and several other states. Brown estimates the ultimate cost will be in the billions.
Still, he has a lot of supporters in the legislature. The Republican leaders of the Senate and the Assembly back his plan. So does Democratic Assembly Speaker John Perez.
"We are not, any of us, willing to release an additional single prisoner," Perez said.
But one key supporter is missing, Democratic Senate President Darrel Steinberg. In a statement he said he does not support releasing inmates early either. But he said Brown's plan offers no promis or hime.
"More money for more prison cells alone is not a durable solution; it is not a fiscally responsible solution; and it is not a safe solution," he said. "We must invest in a durable criminal justice strategy, which reduces both crime and prison overcrowding."
Without Steinberg's support, it may be tough to get the plan through the legislature. Still, Perez vows it will be passed by the time the session ends in Mid-September.
Governor's Plan Runs Into Resistance
by Max Pringle
Brown's proposal is generating opposition from elected officials and activists who oppose adding more space to the state's prison system.
Dozens of activists who favor alternatives to incarceration rallied at the State Capital just hours before the governor and several legislative leaders rolled out their plan. They say that plan lacks vision.
"There are clear, viable alternatives to reduce the prison population, including compassionate release, including expanding good time credits. So it's a false choice that the governor is making," says Zachary Norris with the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights.
Steinberg expected to release a plan of his own with a mental health and substance abuse treatment approach to reducing overcrowding.

Class of 2015 gift sees huge uptick in recurring giving
By Dustin J. Seibert
6/23/2015 - The Full-Time MBA class of 2015 raised more than $270,000 (at time of publication) for its year-end gift, with more than 60 percent of donors signing up for a recurring gift.
"The class of 2015's overwhelming support toward recurring gifts speaks volumes," said Katie Taylor, director of annual giving. Not only do class members share an enthusiasm and appreciation for their Kellogg experience, she said, but they also believe in establishing a shared long-term commitment to giving back, ensuring a meaningful connection to Kellogg for years to come.
Nearly nine of every 10 students contributed this year, said Taylor, adding that the 60 percent sign-up for recurring giving was "unprecedented."
Taylor thanked student leaders who encouraged recurring giving and enrollment in the Kellogg Leadership Circle this year. "They wanted to create a culture of philanthropy and a tradition of giving," she said. The steering committee was led by the impressive efforts of Chris Andersen '15, Lexie Smith '15, Alex Daubert '15, Matt Brocks '15 and Erica Dzierzak (JV).
Generous alumni and first-years join the class of '15 giving
This year's campaign is also noteworthy for an anonymous alumni couple who sponsored two challenges on behalf of Professors Gad Allon and David Besanko: They donated $5,000 to recognize the section with the highest percentage of students who contributed recurring gifts, and $5,000 to recognize the section with the top combination of recurring gifts and participation.
The One-Year Program donor challenge was met by George Graffy '89, president of Smart Circle, LLC, a Dallas-based company that connects clients with a customizable sales network. Graffy promised to match all One-Year gifts up to $10,000 if 60 percent was donated in time for the program's 50th anniversary celebration, held June 4 at the Field Museum in downtown Chicago.
The campaign also marked the first year of the Friends of the Class of 2015 initiative, which broadened the pool of donors via mentees of the class of 2016 students. At least 60 first-year students contributed, said Jonathan Feldman '16, who spearheaded the initiative.
"It's a way for first-years to give that final, public thank-you to the Kellogg folks that helped us with a large part of our shared experience," Feldman said.

John McKay, CEO, AsureQuality. Picture / Barker Photography.
Top assurance organisation heads drive to give consumers more data about their food.
Premier food assurance organisation AsureQuality says potential disruptors like plant-based meat substitutes could be "great opportunities for New Zealand".
CEO John McKay says recent controversy over high-tech proteins (like a hamburger created in a laboratory) threatening New Zealand's primary produce could be viewed "more as an opportunity than a threat, in my view".
Fresh from helping New Zealand dairy company Synlait support the introduction of Munchkin's 100 per cent grass-fed infant milk formula to China by enabling consumers to understand the facts behind the 100 per cent claim, McKay says AsureQuality have a significant role in underscoring the provenance, sustainability and quality of New Zealand food.
"That's particularly so given the enormous growth in consumer demand for knowledge of what is in their food," he says. "The trend towards quality, integrity, sustainability and provenance is great for New Zealand, a real opportunity to benefit from that interest."
Driven by trends gathering pace globally (like wellness, sustainability, ethics and animal welfare), consumer hunger for facts about the origins and quality of food goes far beyond mere labelling.
A 2013 survey by Lincoln University in China, India and the UK found that, for example, consumers were prepared to pay more for products with food safety certification and which took factors like animal welfare, water quality and greenhouse gases into account.
In the intervening period, consumer interest in their food has grown exponentially. To take a horticultural example, if someone wants a bottle of tomato sauce, they now ask (and can be told) where the tomatoes come from, how they were grown and who grows them.
The trend towards organic food has made this even more important – consumers now want the ability to discover if the food is as organic as claimed.
That's where AsureQuality comes in. McKay says: "New Zealand has a privileged position in the world. We have a great reputation [for food quality and provenance] which has been hard-earned and we have a really important role in protecting that and building on it.
"As technology changes everything, we have to move with it – and it gives us a great opportunity to tell the stories, with hard facts, behind New Zealand's premium produce."
With their partners, AsureQuality can follow suppliers and the product from inception to distribution, making each step transparent to consumers, often through QR code-enabled assurance marks, and cloud-based technology.
McKay: "We're at our best when we work step-by-step, side-by-side with our customers, using technology and insight to help them take their products from the farm gate to the supermarket.
"Having that technology is crucial, so consumers can see the facts behind the claims."
He says the invention of high-tech protein foodstuffs has to be seen in much the same light; New Zealand does not just have a global reputation as a quality food basket but also as an innovator.
"New Zealand has always been good at innovating and, in the food industry, it has been almost relentless. That's why I see this [protein-based meat substitutes] as an opportunity rather than a threat – they can be developed in parallel.
"There will always be a place for products underscoring New Zealand's properties as a producer of quality, natural food – but we need to embrace these new trends and develop them in a complementary way."
Recent statistics from New Zealand Beef & Lamb (published in the Listener in July) show that 60 per cent of New Zealand exports in 2015-16 was made up of lower value processing meat (like hamburger), but produced only 45 per cent of the exports' value; meanwhile 55 per cent of Fonterra's dairy sales (in the year to March) were also base-level commodity dairy products.
"That's the journey we are on as an industry and as a country," says McKay. "More New Zealand companies are making the shift from "volume to value" – added-value products higher up the value chain [attracting a premium].
"New Zealand has some things to improve but that's where the industry is increasingly going; a big part of our role is to help them get there."
Synlait – who supply the 100 per cent grass-fed milk to Munchkin – is an example of a New Zealand food producer understanding and deriving value from these changing consumer needs.
Beginning on farms with its Lead with Pride Programme, Synlait supports and incentivises select suppliers to achieve excellence in farming practices, including water and effluent management, biodiversity, soil quality, energy, greenhouse gasses and emissions.
It works with AsureQuality to underpin these best practices with an independent auditing programme, as well as across its supply chain from manufacturing to laboratory testing and customer launches. AsureQuality's independent expertise helps Synlait and its customers tell a compelling and trusted story of superior quality and sustainable production.
Another example of that added value is Kiwi exporter, The True Honey Co. – producing manuka honey. They work with AsureQuality to provide better assurance about the authenticity and quality of its products. Via a QR code, consumers can access verified information about anything from the origins of the product, nutritional claims and quality standards – as well as assurance it is genuine manuka honey, not imitation. The data also weaves in the essence of the New Zealand environment from which the product sprang.

The natural variety, Japan camphor, is obtained by steam distillation of the wood of the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora) native to China, Japan, and Taiwan (its chief natural source). Since this source is inadequate, camphor is widely synthesized from α-pinene, which is obtained from oil of turpentine. Camphor is widely used as a plasticizer in the manufacture of celluloid and some lacquers. It is used in medicine as a stimulant, a diaphoretic, and an inhalant. Camphor ice is a mixture, containing principally camphor and wax, used for external application. Camphor is practically insoluble in water but soluble in alcohol, ether, chloroform, and other solvents. The alcoholic solution is known as spirits of camphor.
Tall 100 ft (30m) tree with waxy glossy leaves that smell like camphor when crushed. Masses of small white flowers, black berry-like toxic fruit. Very rough bark with vertical fissures. The tree has very strong volatile compounds and is considered toxic, but many people make tea from young leaves and shoots. Gum and bark are used for digestive upset, circulation, pain, nerves, multiple sclerosis, hepatitis, skin conditions. Camphor steam used for colds, sinus infections. It is said inhaling too much affects central nervous system. Sometimes used to make "fake Eucalyptus" oil. Be careful. Keep kids away, and definitely do not take if pregnant.

Camphor is highly volatile; it is slightly soluble in water but readily soluble in organic solvents. It exists in the form of two optically active isomers, the (+)- and (−)-forms (melting points, 178.5°-179°C), and in the form of a racemic mixture, the (±)-form (melting points, 178°-178.5°C).
Camphor is widespread in nature; it is a component of many essential oils, such as basil oil, oil of wormwood, and oils of coniferous trees and the camphor tree. Camphor-tree oil is a source of (+)-camphor, or so-called natural camphor. Industrial camphor, in the (±)-form, is produced by processing of turpentine or its basic component, pinene. Camphor is used mainly as a plasticizer of cellulose nitrate and acetate (in the production of celluloid and motion-picture film), as an inhibitor (an additive that increases the storage stability) for smokeless powder, and as a moth repellent.
Camphor is a medicinal substance of the group of nerve stimulants. It stimulates respiration and blood circulation and strengthens the metabolic processes in the heart muscle. It is injected subcutaneously in the form of "camphor oil" (camphor solution in peach oil) or taken internally in powders (ground camphor) and in gelatin capsules in cases of cardiac weakness or collapse, to stimulate respiration, and in cases of infectious diseases and cases of narcotic and barbiturate poisoning. Bromo-camphor (in powder or tablet form) and Kamfotal tablets (containing bromocamphor and phenobarbital) are prescribed as sedatives for the central nervous sytem in cases of high nervous excitability, neurasthenia, and heart neurosis. Camphor is used in the form of camphor oil, camphor ointment, camphor spirits, and Denta drops (dental drops containing camphor, chloral hydrate, and alcohol) as irritants and analgesics, and partly as antiseptics. These preparations are applied as salves in cases of inflammations and rheumatism; the dental drops are introduced into tooth defects.

A Recovered Alcoholic's Transformation and Renewal Journey – Page 3 – Purging the "Skeletons in My Closet" One Post at a Time While Renewing My Recovery One Day at a Time.
I had to wait 6 months (or a year) to resume efforts to get pregnant.
I wasn't asked. I was told.
No alcoholic likes to be TOLD to do anything, ESPECIALLY when it affects their drinking.
For me, if I am told to do something that I don't want to do, I will resist until I have no choice. If I am told I CAN'T do something that I want to do, I'll do everything in my power to make sure that I CAN.
When it comes to #1, I told you: I secretly drank several times in a month before finally getting caught and forced into outpatient rehab. That still didn't stop me though. After claiming an official sobriety date, I relapsed 3 more times, twice my husband knew about and once I lied about…for years. I'll talk about that in my next post.
As for #2, the day after my arrest, H said he thought it would be a good idea to wait 6 months to resume trying to get pregnant. Per usual, I went into my childish theatrics – sobbing uncontrollably until I fell asleep, the whole time hoping he would feel bad and take it back. But he didn't. Not that night anyway.
It was also "suggested" by my first sponsor that I wait a year to get pregnant – newcomers are discouraged from getting into new relationships or making big life changes in the first year of sobriety. But H had already recanted the whole 6 month plan, so of course I lied and said I'd take into into consideration. I didn't dare challenge her but there was also no way I was going to listen to her either.
While my desire to drink "someday" didn't go away after that last weekend in jail, my choice to drink did – for one year and 3 months.
Yep, A1 had literally implanted herself the same weekend I received that email. She saved me from my own self because I most definitely would have relapsed again otherwise.


The 2 greatest aspects when looking to purchase a new mattress, is comfort and also support.When you lie down on a mattress, it should properly support your body, sinking and also adhering around your form in the right locations to ensure your spine stays aligned as you sleep with the night. Proper alignment from head to toe is necessary for balanced and healthy rest as well as to decrease neck and back pain. While a mattress is being supportive, it is important that it provides you with stress relief also. Stress points are what causes you to move around through out the night, while you are attempting to sleep. The main reason memory foam mattresses have really become so popular because late results in the fact they're exceptional at being both supportive as well as comfortable.
This is along the same lines, as when we speak about comfort and support. A mattress should neither be too hard or too soft.It must be as neutral as feasible, to keep your body and also spinal column at a neutral position.If a mattress is too rigid, it will irritate your stress points, causing pinched nerves and stopping adequate blood flow. If you commonly get the feeling of pins and needles onto the human body, it's probably from the mattress being too rigid. And if you wake up with frequent back pain, most likely this is because your mattress is too soft. This results in a concaving effect, like a hammock. Which makes your spine be out of alignment.This is why it's so important to choose a mattress that is sort of neutral. It provides support with being too right, and it's just soft enough in the right places of your body.
