A deep dive to the history of astrology and differing beliefs around the topic.
Lilianna Rodriguez, Opinion Section Editor|May 25, 2022
Do you know your horoscope? People used to use astrology to predict their own future or an outcome of a problem, and people still use this astrology for this reason until this day. Students tend to look up their compatibility for relationships even though it may not line up with their relationship. "My best friend is an Aries and I am a Cancer and I guess Aries are my worst relationships, but I do see how we can bump heads from time to time," senior Sinead McLoughlin said.
Astrology has been around for 2,400 years, and people still use it in their daily lives by looking at their horoscopes or how the stars are aligned on their birthday or any other celebrations. Astrology is generally defined as the 'belief' that astronomical phenomena have the power to affect our personality traits and influence the daily events in our lives.
The astrologers also identified the central proposition of natal astrology to be tested. The results were published in Nature on Dec. 5, 1985. The study found that astrologers were unable to match natal charts to their corresponding personality tests better than chance. The astrologers were no more likely to be correct even when they had high confidence that they had made a correct match. Carlos stated that the results "clearly refutes the astrological hypothesis."
Scientific testing has found no evidence to support the premises or purported effects outlined in astrological traditions. Although astrology is false, people still seem to be interested in astrology and still take information that has been provided through apps/websites for their weekly readings.
"l typically do readings whether on an app or online weekly, just to see what to prepare for," junior Kailee Strom said.
Students tend to feel that their horoscope can correlate to most of those characteristics that were given for that horoscope but sometimes can be at false.
"I'm a Virgo, and my book that I have for horoscope signs says that Virgos can tend to be stubborn and that they need to have or know the plan for the day or event, but then it also says that Virgos are very organized, but I am nowhere close organized!" senior Araya Clements said.
Individuals tend to use astrology as a "routine" in their lives by looking at their daily horoscope report because it can make them feel ready for their day with the wise information that was given to the individuals horoscope and they can tend to feel more positive with themselves for the start of their day.
"I like to use astrology as a confidence booster sometimes because I really feel and astrology makes me feel like everything happens for a reason, and when I am feeling very down about everything, astrology tends to reassure me about my problems and decisions I have made or that was made for me that it was meant to happen for me, so I can learn and grow from life problems," senior Amber Lanier said.
Even though it has been scientifically proven that it is false and horoscopes don't tend to linked up to some people, individuals believe that life can't be defined all by scientific matters and that there may be still more information about astrology that we don't even know.
"I don't think it can be by scientific matters, science isn't all there is to it. The universe is HUGE and so much of it makes things how they are," sophomore Katherine Iwanaga said.
It is based strictly on the position and movement of the sun or other planets at the time you were born. In ancient times, astrology was inseparable from society where it originated in Babylon,and the Babylonians developed their own form of horoscopes around 2,400 years ago.
Then around 2,100 years ago, astrology spread to the easten Mediterranean, where it became more popular and spread to Egypt and India, which at the time was under control of a dynasty of Greek kings. Astrology was used for self use, they predicted the future for individuals, groups or even nations. It was to inform the individual of the course of their life on the positions of the planets and of the zodiac signs.
The Babylonians would forecast their future circumstances by observing space through time and relating ominous events, such as a lunar eclipse, to social, political, and environmental problems in aspects of their everyday lives, such as giving birth to deformed children.
Although, due to the weak evidence that astrology is 'real', it has been rejected by the scientific community. The most famous test was done by Shawn Carlson, who graduated from UCLA with a master's degree in Physics in 1983, and with a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics in 1989. While Carlson was an undergraduate, in 1985 Calrson carried out a double-blind test of astrologer's abilities to extract information about their clients from the apparent positions of celestial objects as seen from the places and times of the clients' births.
Carlson's experiment involved twenty-eight astrologers who agreed to match over 100 natal charts to psychological profiles that were generated by the CPI, a standard accepted personality test. The participating astrologers were nominated by the National Council for Geocosmic Research, which acted as the astrological advisors to ensure that the test was fair.
Although astrology isn't scientific, Individuals have used astrology for a type of reassurance for themselves about our good traits and characteristics and what you can be good at! With my sign, I feel like my whole self doesn't line up to my horoscope, but it never hurts to have fun looking at things that were made "for you".
Astrology can be fun and it can bring enjoyment looking at your traits and characteristics and even others! Another great way to learn more about astrology and maybe about yourself is using tarot cards. Tarot cards can help with looking out for your future and even upcoming events and how they are going to help you or what that event will bring to you!

Within any group of people who cooperate over long periods of time, some amount of conflict is bound to spring up. An agreement to collaborate on work assignments or live with a spouse is often interspersed with a bit of disagreement along the way. Most of us realize that airing our grievances can be healthy, and resolving them is a fundamental step in any cooperative process. But, in the heat of the moment, it's easy to get wrapped up and carried away by our passions, particularly when we believe our ideals, our agency, or any other factors that support our general well-being are somehow under siege.
For many, it's second nature to switch into a state of aggressive defense at the onset of conflict. These primal mechanisms guaranteed the survival of humanity's cave-dwelling, beast-hunting ancestors, however nowadays our reactionary instincts may cause more problems than they solve, particularly when they prevent us from working together.
Perhaps, rather than letting agitation damage our ability to achieve resolutions, we could instead examine the circumstances, acknowledge their causes and clarify our reactions, and then use those conclusions to banish our anger and move forward productively.
The first step toward dispelling a disagreement from within involves re-evaluating the events that sparked a conflict, in the context of exterior factors that might have contributed to our feelings. For example, if a co-worker's annoying habits rubbed you the wrong way, it may be beneficial to ask whether bumpiness in your home or social life, a previous unpleasant experience, lack of energy, hunger, or any number of outside aggravations might be affecting the intensity of your reaction.
Everyone experiences hurt, insecurity, or fear, and it's possible that a volatile response to external stressors could stem from unresolved internal conflicts. Those dissatisfied with their own merits are far more likely to approach any collaborative task from a place of paranoia and negativity. Ironically, the moment such people allow a poor attitude to influence their personal conduct is likely the moment their fears about how people might perceive them become a reality. Acknowledging the reasons these insecurities exist allows us to stop scapegoating others' errors, and deal with our own.
Maybe you've vetted your mindstate thoroughly, and found that the issue with another's behavior is, in fact, justifiable and in need of addressing. If so, it's still a good idea to avoid an adversarial approach. Even if your concerns happen to be legitimate, wielding your righteous indignation like a club will only force the opposing party into the defensive. Instead, you could try a clear, calm and non-accusatory explanation of exactly what happened, and how it affected you. Do so, and there is a strong chance that the people you've conflicted with will come away empathizing with your perspective, at the very least.
While not every conflict can be resolved peacefully, it certainly never hurts to try, especially when in trying we may realize that our agitation is really directed more toward ourselves than anyone else. In the end, no matter the cause of conflict, any resolution reached without having to resort to less congenial tactics will ultimately create a more productive future relationship.


Vladimir Alexandrovich Titov, born in 1937 in the city of Vichuga, of the Ivanovo region, currently resides in the village of Palekh. Graduating from the Palekh Art School in 1965, he studied under such formidable names as V. I. Golov, A. V. Borunov, V. I. Astarkhov, and V. T. Bondarenko.
Upon graduation Vladimir Alexandrovich earned the honorable "60-th anniversary of the Palekh Art" diploma. This artist uses tempera-based paint in his painting of lacquer miniatures. Titov's lacquer art is a reflection of his interests in depicting Bylini legends, Russian fairytales, folk song themes, and historical events.
He believes that composition is very important in painting. Vladimir considers a miniature complete when the application of the gold is finished. As any true artist does, he seeks out inspiration and originality when starting to paint something new.
Vladimir loves to use bright tones and he is fixed on using a wide variety of colors in his palette when he paints. As any experienced artist, Vladimir has his own style that is unique from other artists. His work can be distinguished by his painting technique of flowing painting, his original composition, and the black background of his paintings. Vladimir hopes his lacquer miniatures will be remembered for their precision and delicacy of rendering, original composition, interesting themes, the variety of color in his palette, and the quality that he painted with.
During his free time, Vladimir enjoys working at home. To all the admirers who have acquired one of his pieces, he extends good wishes and hopes that they are satisfied with his work.

Spain cannot batter Gibraltar to further its agenda!
Brexit this week has twisted British politics from the respected, sound and upright governmental law-making model, once the envy of global democracies for centuries, into the chaotic, incompetent and deceitful political play that has cast aside the 'Interest of the British Public, including ours here in Gibraltar'. This has been achieved it seems by changing the concept of what most people thought Brexit was into the shambles of personal agenda's, which is what UK politicians have made of it these past few days!

What is the UK waiting for
Recognizing that we are at the mercy of Spain if the UK leaves, the question poised to Lord Callanan in the House of Lords recently was, "What are we doing for Gibraltar?" His reply, "I have not heard any detail about that." Not very reassuring to say the least! Then he went on to say that if the issues put to him, were of such importance to the Government (UK) then surely it; i.e. the UK government; should have been up front and clear, as to precisely what they were offering, and should have considered whether compensation, or something else of that kind might be required.

Critics Call East Hampton Airport (KHTO) Tower Relocation Expansion
Aircraft using East Hampton Airport on August 4th, one of about 15 days last summer during which helicopters were directed over portions of Sag Harbor by air traffic controllers.
East Hampton Town moved forward this week on two projects that critics said would be an expansion of East Hampton Airport.
Following a Tuesday morning town board work session, officials were ready to authorize $2.1 million in borrowing to pay for an improved taxiway alongside the airport's main runway. The town board is expected to vote on the authorization at a meeting in Town Hall tonight.
The board also began considering whether to relocate and increase the height of the airport's control tower.
A taxiway extension has been planned since at least 2016, Jim Brundige, the airport manager, told the town board during Tuesday's meeting. The goal is to connect two existing taxiways, bringing the airport more into conformity with other airports around the country, though the Federal Aviation Administration does not require it.
The project would include removing outdated and faulty lighting along runway 10-28, the main east-west landing strip, and other improvements. Durable LED fixtures would be installed in place of incandescent bulbs, which need frequent replacement, Mr. Brundige said.
Members of the town board, speaking at Tuesday's meeting, were in general favorably disposed toward the taxiway work, which would cost about $800,000. Questions remained about whether the town might pay for it with the airport surplus fund instead of borrowing the money through a bond issue.
Supervisor Larry Cantwell said the airport surplus might be a better source of the money than borrowing. Len Bernard, the town's financial manager, concurred, saying it would be preferential over adding debt. "It is the best practice to pay cash," he said.
The airport fund swelled in 2017 from landing fees and leases paid to the town for the use of portions of the property. Several parcels of town-owned land at the airport are to be sold in January, which will add about $4.75 million to the fund, which stood at about $2.7 million as of this week, Mr. Bernard said.
Questions about the control tower spurred more heated discussion.
According to Councilwoman Kathee Burke-Gonzalez, who is the board's point person on the airport, numerous complaints were lodged last summer about helicopters flying low over certain neighborhoods during inclement weather.
The controllers' eye level is about 16 feet above the ground; the tower is roughly in the southeast corner of the airport, near a line of trees. The flights that caused complaints occurred when air traffic controllers directed helicopter pilots onto a northerly route because, given the tower's relatively low height and location, the controllers were unable to see the approaches and departures.
During periods of bad weather, aircraft come into the airport lower than usual, well below a recommended 2,500-foot altitude, putting them out of visual contact with the controllers if they approach from the south. On bad-weather days last summer helicopters were sent over the Azurest area of Sag Harbor. Ms. Burke-Gonzalez said she had visited that area on a cloudy Friday afternoon in August and observed heavy helicopter traffic.
In all, air traffic controllers sent helicopters over the northern approach to East Hampton Airport on only about 15 days in 2017, Mr. Brundige said. Replacing the tower with one that is taller and in a better location would allow helicopters to avoid flying over populated areas more often as they approach the airport on visually difficult days, he said. "The question is, do we want to provide a tower that's fully functional," Mr. Brundige told the town board.
"Has the FAA asked for this at all?" Councilwoman Sylvia Overby asked from the dais.
"No, not at all," he said.
"I believe that the town board wants to reduce the amount of traffic," Ms. Overby said. Supervisor Cantwell interjected, asking, "Does the tower encourage one more aircraft?"
"No, they are coming anyway," Mr. Brundige said, adding that tower personnel are asking for it to be relocated and made taller.
"I see this as increasing traffic. This is an expansion of the airport. It's a bigger tower," Ms. Overby said. She went on to say the taxiway project also seemed to represent growth in the facility's capacity. She questioned why the town would want to put more money into the airport while an F.A.A.-mandated noise study was getting underway. "If you build it, they will come," she said, adding, "It should be up to the local community to decide how the airport should be used or not."
Mr. Cantwell and Councilman Peter Van Scoyoc, who will be in the supervisor's seat come January, wanted more detail about the number of takeoffs and landings that were out of eyesight before making a decision.
"This is definitely an expansion, one that we feared when they first put in the tower," Kathleen Cunningham of the Quiet Skies Coalition said. "It's all for the helicopters."
Since East Hampton Town is trying to minimize the number of helicopter landings and takeoffs through the F.A.A.-mandated study, she said it made no sense to improve the control tower so that more, not fewer, could be accommodated in almost all kinds of weather. "It's at cross-purposes. It does not make a whit of sense," Ms. Cunningham said.
She supported the taxiway project as a necessary safety improvement for the airport, however. It also would eliminate the use of a secondary runway by large, heavy aircraft as they moved about on the ground, lengthening its serviceable life and holding off the day that the town would have to repave it.

Scott & Andrew Newth of Rumpus Room
I N T E R V I E W
By Ian Duggan
Formed in the mid-1990s, Rumpus Room is centred around three Newth brothers, Scott (bass, vocals), Andrew and Kent (guitars), along with the familially unrelated Greg Page (drums). I caught up with Scott and Andrew ahead of their gig supporting Inchworm to talk about their history, being in a band with brothers, and curious to know why they haven't yet released an album.
HUP: Let's start at the start. Around 1997 you evolved out of Love & Violence, via the darker more industrial FALLen, replacing synthesisers with traditional band instruments and became an indie-rock band. How did this seemingly rapid evolution in styles transpire, especially when your earlier projects had a strong following?
Scott: We started Rumpus Room mainly because I thought it was a great band name, and that we should use it up. Our other acts were still operational at the time. Both L&V and Southern Tribe for Andrew, so we started Rumpus Room for a bit of fun. Greg and I kicked it off and we roped Andrew in because he owned a guitar. When we started, none of us could play the instruments we chose, so for the first year it was pretty bad. The whole thing was comical and that was reflected in our songs as well.
HUP: Who primarily writes the songs, and who are your major influences?
Andrew: I can't say that any one person writes the songs. It usually starts off with someone playing a riff either on bass or guitar. Sometimes Greg will just play a drum rhythm and we jam around that. If we are really lucky a song will fall out of the noise we are making.
Scott: As far as influences go, we were obviously doing something very different to our other acts, and we were taking inspiration from the other bands playing around that time. It was very much focused on Hamilton's alt band scene and what we were hearing on [Hamilton] compilations like the Fridge and Discordia [Concors]. We were fans of Inchworm especially, but I was also keen on Watershed and Romantic Andes, Postlethwaites, Nodrog and A Crown of Wild Myrtles and the like. Because these were people we knew or were aware of that you could hear and see regularly. I thought there was a distinct Hamilton indie sound emerging and we wanted to be part of that. We also had international influences, especially Joy Division for me and Andrew, but also this little known Swedish act called Salt.
HUP: You have three brothers in the band. I imagine on one hand this is difficult, but that it may also have contributed to the longevity of the band? What do you see as the pros and cons of primarily being a band of brothers.
Andrew: Having Kent joining the fold has been interesting as he lends a darker side to the songs which we all really like.
Scott: I also enjoy the two guitars. Maybe it's a brother thing but Andrew and Kent never play the same thing, but it always works. Maybe it's a brother thing, but they just gel and it's really instinctive. They never talk about what they are doing, they just do it. Having three brothers in the band isn't a problem. It's actually why we do it. We get to hang out on a regular basis and it's why we are still doing it.
HUP: I know you two played together in L&V and FALLen. Did Kent have any band experience before Rumpus Room?
Scott: No he didn't. He has been in the band twice though. He first joined when we became a five piece. We had Jane Pierard with us on guitar and cello. And he jumped in too to play a third guitar. He was very sparse in what he played. But he left shortly after Jane moved to Wellington. Kent moved to Korea and we enlisted Chris Paki, who had been in L&V and Fallen with us. Kent then returned a few years ago, and we became a five piece again for about a year. But we were not playing shows or doing much more than the odd random jam, so Chris called time on his involvement and that left the current line-up. We have only played one show since Chris left I think... but we want to be more active again now.
HUP: One thing that amazes me is that despite Scott being a sound engineer, having recorded albums for a number of bands (e.g., The Datsuns), Rumpus Room have never released an album! Are there plans for an album, and what else might the future hold?
Andrew: We are writing new material at the moment. Will they become an album? It's pretty hard to say. It would be nice to do at least one album at some point. For now we are really wanting to play live and write new material.
Scott: Making an album is hard work and I'm a bit of a task master so it's hard to apply that to yourself, or find the time when you are making records for other people. It's the same reason why we have very few videos. Or a web site. Another thing about an album. I never thought we were in a position to record one. We always seemed to be in some kind of transition between members changing or in long periods of inactivity with me being away from New Zealand a great deal of the time. Now we wouldn't record the old songs I don't think. If we did do one, it would have to be new material and it would have to be very good for me to want to bother releasing it, as we don't have a following built up. It's a lot of effort if you're not in a position to push it. And we haven't been until now really.

I got a box full of gifts!!
These were the prizes I won with my sake panna cotta at the event hosted by my lovely friend Clarice. She sent all these amazing things all the way from Japan. Thank you, dear!
I had Clarice in mind while making these mini cakes – they are delicate and pretty, just like her. She loves all things cornmeal, but the wonderful cinnamon she sent was such an inspiration and I felt like baking with that flavor.
Clarice, my friend, I wish I could personally serve you these cakes, on a beautifully set table; since I can't, I virtually offer them to you, with love!
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF; generously butter a 12-cup muffin pan.
In a bowl, place the chopped almonds, 4 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, the cinnamon and nutmeg.
In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer, cream together butter and remaining granulated sugar. Add the egg and vanilla and beat well. Fold in 1/3 of the sifted ingredients and half the yogurt. Proceed with the remaining dry ingredients and yogurt in 2 additions.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden and a skewer inserted in the middle of the cakes comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely before unmolding.
Make the icing: mix sugar and milk together until smooth and runny – add more milk if necessary. Pour the icing over the cooled cakes and sprinkle with the sliced almonds.

Goldman's First-Quarter Profit Doubles to $3.46 Billion, Even as its Fraud Probe Takes on an International Twist
By Kerri Shannon, Associate Editor, Money Morning • April 20, 2010
Investment-banking giant Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE: GS) - the target of a civil fraud case filed by U.S. securities regulators - yesterday reported that its first-quarter earnings nearly doubled, even as the probe against it took on an international twist.
The New York-based Goldman said it earned reported first quarter earnings of $3.46 billion today (Tuesday), or $5.59 a share, an increase of 91% from earnings of $1.66 billion, or $3.39 a share, for the same period a year ago. The earnings report came just days after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a civil fraud case against the Wall Street financial heavyweight.
Goldman's earnings beat analysts' average estimates of $4.16 a share. Its investment bank income revenue rose to $12.78 billion, and its fixed-income, currency and commodities trading generated net revenue of $7.39 billion.
"Our performance in the first quarter reflects more signs of growth across the economy and the strength of our client franchise," Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Officer Lloyd C. Blankfein said in a statement. "In light of recent events involving the firm, we appreciate the support of our clients and shareholders, and the dedication and commitment of our people."
The strong earnings were not enough to overshadow the "recent events" in question that have investors concerned, the company said yesterday. Those worries will likely grow in the days and weeks to come now that British Kingdom regulators say that they, too, are investigating alleged acts of fraud by Goldman.
Goldman Sachs shares fell $3.34 each, or 2.05%, to close at $159.98 yesterday.
The SEC last week accused Goldman Sachs of failing to disclose vital information on a synthetic collateralized debt obligation (CDO) that was allegedly peddled to clients, even as the investment bank bet against the security's success, knowing that it was likely to emerge as the winner.
The SEC says Goldman used hedge fund Paulson & Co. to pick particularly risky securities for the product with a higher chance of collapsing.
"We would never intentionally mislead anyone, certainly not our clients or counterparties," Goldman Sachs co-general counsel Greg Palm said during a conference call yesterday. "We certainly had no incentive to design a transaction that was designed to lose money. We are very disappointed that the SEC would bring this action, which relates to a single synthetic CDO transaction involving two professional institutional investors, in the face of an extensive record which we believe establishes the allegations are unfounded."
Analysts are concerned that the lawsuit will damage Goldman's already-tarnished reputation so much that clients will defect to other firms. Pundits and other observers also say the suit could jump-start financial reform efforts yet again, given that a reform proposal is now making the rounds within Congress.
The SEC's first strike against the financial giant could also lead to more lawsuits. The United Kingdom's financial regulator, the Financial Services Authority, already announced it will investigate Goldman Sachs' London offices for fraud.
"There are legitimate concerns over the long-term impact on Goldman's market share, as some clients may be deterred from doing the same level of business with a firm that is perceived to be a regulatory target," Steve Stelmach, analyst at FBR Capital Markets Corp. (Nasdaq: FBCM), wrote in a research note Monday.

The SEC doesn't file civil actions on a whim — and I'm glad that this country has at least one entity policing the massively blatant fraud at hand. Am I the only one that reads the allegations with crystal clear clarity??? Wake up people!!! Goldman Sachs' denial is laughable — or should I say nauseating given their billion dollar ponzi scheme. Sickening. The truth will come out — just like it has with Enron and all the others — they're no different. Thank you SEC for being the only one to stand up and not let your pockets be padded like all others.

Honeywell duct-mounted Electronic Air Cleaners filter dust, dirt and other debris from the hot or cool air in whole-house furnace, air conditioner and humidifier systems. The Honeywell Electronic Air Cleaners conduct a two to three level filtration process via two pre-filter, two electronic cells and/or a post-filter. Honeywell has designed these parts for easy removal and cleaning with cleaning required only twice yearly unless dealing with a high volume of dirt or other particles in the air.
Turn off the air cleaner switch.
Open your Honeywell Electronic Air Cleaner's access door.
Slide the pre-filters, cells and/or post-filter from the unit.
Clean the pre-filters and/or post-filter with your vacuum's brush head attachment.
Fill a large, wide plastic tub with water and 3/4 cup liquid dishwasher detergent.
Place the first cell into the water and soak it for 15 to 20 minutes.
Grasp the sides of the cell and dunk it up and down in the water two to three times to wash.
Dump the dirty water from the tub. If the cell still look dirty, refill the tub with fresh, soapy water and repeat the soak and washing process.
Fill the tub with clean, hot water and soak the cell again for 5 to 15 minutes to rinse away detergent residues.
Dunk the cell up and down and continue to rinse—replacing the rinse water as needed—until the cell doesn't feel soapy/slippery to the touch.
Soak the cell again in clean water for 10 minutes.
Remove the cell, wipe the ionizer wires and contact board gently with a cloth, and set the cell aside to air dry.
Repeat the cleaning process with the second cell.
Fill the tub again with soapy water.
Follow the steps for cleaning and rinsing electronic cells.
Shake the pre-filters gently after the final rinse to remove any excess water and then set the filters aside to dry thoroughly.
Reassemble the unit by sliding the post-filter (if applicable), cells and pre-filters back into the housing. If done correctly, the handles on the cells should face out, the airflow arrow should point in the airflow downstream direction and the pre-filters should sit within the upstream pre-filter guides.
Close the access door and switch the air cleaner on.
If your unit has a post-filter, change it every six months.
If your unit has a servicing monitor indicator light, push the reset button for 10 seconds after you've reinstalled the filters and cells.
For faster cleaning, place the cells in the lower rack of a dishwasher and wash with detergent on a regular wash cycle without the final dry cycle setting. Wait for the cells to cool, lift up and remove the cells—tipping the cells slightly to drain out any collected water—and wipe the ionizer wires and contact board with a damp cloth before air-drying.
Wear thick gloves when handling the cells as the cells have sharp, metal edges that can slice easily through skin.
Dirty filters or cells can reduce not only the efficiency of your entire air processing system, but potentially cause overheating and permanent damage.
Turning the unit on with wet parts can result in electrical shorting, sparking or fire.
Clean the pre-filter by hand only—never in a dishwasher.
Never wash the pre-filters and cells together as doing so can damage the pre-filters.

New Trailer for Steven Soderbergh's MAGIC MIKE
A new UK trailer for director Steven Soderbergh's male stripper movie Magic Mike has gone online. The film is loosely based on star Channing Tatum's days as a stripper, and the actor plays a mentor to a young "exotic dancer" played by Alex Pettyfer. Most of the first trailer focused squarely on Tatum's character and his furniture-making skills, but this trailer shows us a lot more of the mentor/mentee relationship. We also get some new looks at Matthew McConaughey, who is pitch-perfect as the nightclub's ringleader. I'm always down for a new Soderbergh project, and I'm eager to find out what he saw in Tatum's story that he thought would make a great movie.
Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars Riley Keough, Olivia Munn, Matt Bomer, Joe Manganiello, Cody Horn, and Adam Rodriguez. Magic Mike opens on June 29th.
Here's the synopsis for Magic Mike:
To a rebellious 19-year-old kid (Pettyfer) looking for independence from his family, Magic Mike (Tatum) seems like the perfect role model: he's got a nice car, a nice apartment, and a seemingly endless supply of women. What's his secret? He's a male stripper, and when the kid dives headlong into Magic Mike's world, his mad dancing skills and hunger for excitement make for an unforgettable summer.
Sexy, funny and shocking, this film is a hedonistic thrill ride with a powerful undertow. A razor sharp cast – led by top liner Channing Tatum in a career-defining turn as the titular Magic Mike devours the up-to-the moment freight train of a script, and the result will be relentlessly entertaining and sure to be one of the most talked about films of the year…… and let's not forget the price-of-admission dancing sequences…

Q: How to create a webview panel with another webview below it in vscode extension I was wondering if it would be possible for an extension in vscode to create a panel set up similar to this: where the main code is on the left and the extension creates two drawing panels with one above the other.

I know that vscode has the .viewcolumn function, but I'm not sure how to get it so that the webviews are stacked on top of one another.
Currently my DrawPanel object code creates a panel this way:
const panel = vscode.window.createWebviewPanel(
            DrawingPanel.viewType,
            'Visualization',
            vscode.ViewColumn.Two,
            getWebviewOptions(extensionUri),
        );

Nothing is going Maddy's way: she just lost her job, her landlord is a lecherous nightmare and three months ago, her boyfriend dumped her and the reason why haunts her: Your libido is out of control for a girl.
Those words have been circling in her head ever since.
When a job working on a new subscription box—chock full of fun for his and her pleasure— falls into Maddy's lap, she thinks the universe is laughing at her. And when she gets a look at the jaw-droppingly handsome owner of Purely Pleasure, she knows it.
Carter Daniels understands passion. The inventor and reluctant CEO has made his name—and his fortune—on creating some of the hottest toys on the market. When the delectable Maddy's hired as the company's new social media manager, Carter tells himself to stay away, no matter how much the spirited brunette tempts him.
But at the company retreat, Carter overhears a tipsy Maddy confessing her ex broke things off because of her high libido. Now Carter can think of nothing else.
Maddy's curves and quiet strength have got Carter all worked up…now it's his turn to show her what it's like with a man who can't just keep up, but stay up.
When Natalie's boss asks her to shepherd an old friend to a black-tie event to meet investors, she doesn't expect to be escorting a six and a half foot tall mountain man with a beard as golden as his eyes.
Rhett Oakes is looking to expand River Run—the lodge he inherited from his Grandfather—and he needs a lot of cash to turn the rustic piece of property into a luxury retreat for the Pacific Northwest's wilderness lovers.
When his old college roommate offers him an invite to the Black and White Ball which key investors are attending, Rhett drops everything and flies to New York for the opportunity. He's not expecting a wild-haired beauty in three inch heels waiting for him at the airport.
Nat Banks is the kind of woman Rhett's gone out of his way to avoid. Beautiful. Talented. Smart as hell. And never leaving the city behind.
She's nothing but trouble for a mountain man like him—but for tonight, she's on his arm.
He just needs to make sure she doesn't end up in his bed.
ALL DRESSED UP is a short, steamy prequel story featuring characters from the Purely Pleasure Series! It's full of will-they-or-won't-they fun, complete with jokes about lumberjacks, more than one scene involving a hot man in a tux and inappropriate thoughts about beard burn.
Natalie Banks has come a long way from her country girl roots. This cattle rancher's daughter is on top: as the CEO of Purely Pleasure, she's doubled the company's profits and launched a subscription box of toys that's the hottest thing on the market.
Rhett Oakes left the hustle and bustle of city life behind years ago and never looked back. As the owner of one of the most popular wilderness retreats in the Pacific Northwest, he's tells himself he's got everything a man could ever want: the woods, the mountains, and the wild animals he works to rehabilitate.
When Timothy Durbin, his new neighbor, challenges Rhett's right to a water easement that straddles their two properties, Rhett's entire livelihood—and the land he loves—is at stake. To appease a still-on-the-books law from the 1880's, Rhett can't legally hold the water rights if he's a single man.
He needs to find someone to marry or his business must close while his lawyers fight it out in court.
Enter Nat. Nat, who runs his best friend's company. Nat, who is beautiful, bombastic, and tempting as hell.
No matter how much he wants her, Rhett's always resisted taking their friendship to another level. A city girl like her could never live the life he wants—but when Nat finds out his predicament, she makes him an offer he can't resist.
Nat tells herself it's just one friend helping out another. It's not a big deal. But as Durbin ramps up his campaign, she's forced to move in with Rhett to quell suspicions and questions as the court case begins.
Now Rhett's livelihood hinges on the two of them acting all loved up. But it takes just a few steamy kisses and one moonlit skinny-dipping session to make Nat wonder if either of them are acting. But a marriage that started out fake can't turn real…right?
A cabin. A snowstorm. A whole lot of heat.
What's a girl to do when Mother Nature traps her with the one man she can't resist?
