Monterey - Safari Proxy Bug

New Contributor II

We have a strange proxy-bug on Monterey in Safari. Once a user connects to our corporate network, Safari can' t reach any pages. (Safari Can't Connect to the Server) If the user then opens Chrome, Safari immediately works again. Clearing the cache in Safari also solves the problem. Our proxy is configured correctly, on Big Sur everything works. Does anyone have the same Issue? Or already a solution?

Legendary Contributor II

Can't say I've seen exactly what you describe, but I have had issues with Big Sur and Safari and our corporate proxy, where only sites or IPs that are specifically whitelisted to bypass the proxy will load in Safari, whereas Chrome works fine with all sites. So does Microsoft Edge. It's just Safari, and incidentally the App Store as well, which leads me to think it's an incompatibility with WebKit, since those 2 applications use Webkit and Chrome/Edge use the Chromium engine.

I have yet to test out Monterey with our proxy, and I'm so not looking forward to that! I get the feeling it's going to be more broken than ever.

Does your proxy require user authentication?

New Contributor II

That' s also the case for us... Whitelisted pages still work in Safari. And yes, our proxy requires authentication. Did you find solution for the issue on Big Sur?

New Contributor II

I would like to understand this better and if anyone has personal experiences to share please go ahead.

you use Kerberos to authenticate to your authenticated proxy. The pages will not load on safari.

if you whitelist the page to go direct - Kerberos will authenticate to the proxy

is the case onprem or via some sort of vpn like zpa (Zscaler)

are you using blue coat proxies?
does the same setup work for windows and not Mac?

does chrome provide additional prompts for auth that safari does not?

who has this issue how did you resolve it?

New Contributor II

In our case, the whole thing behaves exactly as you describe. (With Kerberos/whitlisted pages) Via VPN (Cisco-Anyconnect) and of course also in the corporate network. (Conifguration as Proxy .pac File.) Chrome browser doesn't provide additional proxy auth pop-ups, doing a search is enough for Safari to run again. We didn't found a solution yet, on Beta 3 (12.1) the Issue persists.

Legendary Contributor II

Yeah, I'm seeing some real parallels here. We also use Cisco AnyConnect VPN and also use a Bluecoat proxy (with a .pac file). It seems like the combination of these items really does not work well with Safari in Big Sur/Monterey for whatever reason. Though I should note that even being in an office location and connected to company WiFi, the issue persists, which would indicate it's not a VPN problem. More of a proxy problem.

Although I'm sorry someone else is experiencing this, it's somewhat comforting to know it's not just us. It seems almost certain there is some incompatibility between these items. I just wish we were able to find a solution. But Apple support has been mostly unhelpful on this, so we've been left to our own devices to try to figure this out.

New Contributor II

Yes, I'm glad about that too. There is also a discussion in macAdmins Slack channel.

New Contributor II

Concerning the combination of these elements, I would think as follows. The Anyconnect client is probably not the reason, I asked several admins with this issue, they use all different VPN clients in their company. I also believe that the proxy configuration is not the main issue. Besides the .pac file we also tried it with the direct web proxy (HTTP) and the secure web proxy (HTTPS). This doesn't make any difference for us, issue still persists. @mm2270 Do you have a guess where the cause could be?

New Contributor

Also seeing the same behavior in Safari when utilizing authenticated (Kerberos SSO) Automatic Proxy (PAC), Chrome and Edge are not impacted

Valued Contributor

Just piling on, seeing this with a different VPN, behaving exactly like everyone here is describing. Just put Monterey on this Mac, same config worked fine in Big Sur. Hope everyone is filing bugs.

Edit: Appears to only affect proxy auth; seems to work fine w/the unauthenticated proxy

New Contributor

I just upgraded my Mac book pro to Monterey and coincidentally JAMF was pushed to my machine from our IT group.

We have Cisco VPN.

And the problem is Chrome will open any web page, but safari will not open anything.  I repeat, chrome works but safari does not.  So, it's not exactly as Joel_Rohland posted, but similar.  Happens whether I'm logged into the VPN or not.

Apple support had me re-install Monterey from the recovery screen.  That did not fix the problem.

The next apple tech had me create a new user, and the problem still is there.

I may have to send my machine back to corporate and have them wipe the hard drive and re-image with Big Sur.

Really don't want to do that.  But, apple support is stumped.

New Contributor

Has anyone found a solution ??

we use the Payload identifyer for for our proxy config

One Config file works fine

Same config file with more exeptions for bypass dosnt work as attented.

New Contributor II

Apple is fully aware of the issue -- now the voice of the people affected -- need to be heard

How to do that --- easy reach out to your account rep and/or open a ticket with apple through their support panels

The combination seem to be (or might be a combination of:

Authenticated proxies and/or kerberized connections vs ntlm support on proxies-- and safari

Seen more on a vpn connection - but visibility on-prem as well

Third party browsers seem to complete the authentication vs safari-- or opening both which establish the connection

Get a sysdiagnose and trace with Wireshark- be prepared to work with apple - and not against them by not reporting it

Lets get apple on top of it together --- cheers

New Contributor

We have had the same problem since mid-November when upgrading to Monterey, a case was opened in Apple's technical support, but there is no solution to it.
I created a topic on the Apple forum, since Apple technical support does not look at information on third-party forums, please write in the topic, maybe this will push Apple engineers to solve the problem 🙂

New Contributor

I have this problem too, using a proxy (squid) without authentication. Does anyone has a solution yet?

New Contributor III

I've been testing 12.2 b2 and this issue seems to have been resolved for us. I would conduct testing with this beta of Monterey and confirm it also resolves the issue.

I just tested it as well and can confirm that the issue no longer exists for us.

New Contributor II

Can you please Confirm 12.2 Public version related today still contains the fix-- we are still experiencing the issue :/

Anyone else still see this after update that dropped today

New Contributor II

Do the people who had issues have Symantec Endpoint Protection 14.2ru2 or lower  -- Network Filter being disabled seems to fix it on first tests

New Contributor

With Monterey Apple have deprecated support for PAC files hosted on an HTTP server, which caused us the issues that have been described in this JAMF thread.

macOS Monterey 12.0.1 Release Notes | Apple Developer Documentation

We will be delivering PAC file via HTTPS going forward which we expect will resolve the issues.

 I have seen this problem being mentioned a number of times in the openvpn mailing lists, but I have never found a solution to the problem. The problem seems to date back to at least 2.0 betas. I have only been able to test this with Windows XP, not Windows Vista/7.

RACHEL-Plus on a LAN or with Router

RACHEL-Plus works perfectly if you want to set-up a classroom with a set of wireless enabled devices (tablets, laptops, or desktops with WiFi functionality).

Reminder: No Internet service is needed ever. When we say WiFi, we mean the tablet, laptop or desktop has the physical capabilities of connecting to the internet via a wireless connection. We leverage this capability to work offline with RACHEL, but no internet service is ever needed.

So, is there a situation which adding a “router” is helpful? Sure!

  • Support more users. RACHEL-Plus can start to experience a bottleneck with its internal ability to support 20+ older or 40+ newer tablets and computers. A router can help this by sharing the wireless transmitting burden.

  • Extend the range. RACHEL-Plus emits a wireless signal that extends about 100 ft in any direction. If you add a router, you now can use either RACHEL-Plus’s wireless signal, or that of the router. This means you can use a really long cord to connect RACHEL to a router and double the area which receives a wireless signal to connect to RACHEL.

  • Use without a wireless signal. Many places have old desktop computers which do not have wireless hardware inside them. Some places, like correctional facilities, do not want to allow wireless signals. If you add a router, you now have the option to ‘hardwire’ together all of the computers. This means you run cables directly from RACHEL to the router, and from the desktop or laptop computers to the router. You can then turn off the wireless signals if you choose.

  • Added cost.

  • Increased complexity. Accessing RACHEL through the router’s wireless signal can be complicated, and requires ‘setting a static IP address’. As routers don’t have battery back-ups, often times the static IP address must be reset after a power outage. Setting a static IP address can be complicated.

  • No battery. Not having a battery in a router means this does not work for places that do not have constant, or near constant, reliable and useable power.

  • Comparison vs 2 RACHEL-Plus units. A second RACHEL-Plus unit allows you to have redundancy, in case RACHEL goes down. The battery issue is solved. The device can later be used ‘stand-a-lone’ if you choose to move one or the other. More users can be supported with 2 RACHEL-Plus units, than 1 RACHEL-Plus and a router.

  • Potential Interference. In the picture below, the router and RACHEL-Plus wireless signals have the potential to interfere with eachother. This can cause strange behaviours like dropped connections and slow loading content. If you are using RACHEL-Plus with a router, you get the most benefit using a very long cord and separating the two devices as much as possible, or just using one wireless signal and turning off the other. If you are using a router instead of RACHEL-Plus, it should have 4x4 transmit and receive functionality to be better than RACHEL-Plus (not a cheap router).

Unless you need to have computers ‘hard-wired’ into RACHEL because you cannot use wireless, we would most often recommend using a second RACHEL device. Investigate if you can add USB WiFi dongles to your old computers before deciding to buy cabling to hard-wire them together. If you want to keep multiple RACHEL devices in sync, adding a router to connect all RACHEL devices together with cable can be helpful.

  1. Plug CAT5 (Ethernet) Cable into RACHEL-Plus and your Router

  2. Your Router will assign an IP address, know as the LAN IP to RACHEL. You must find RACHEL’s LAN IP. The easiest way to do this is to connect to RACHEL the normal way via wireless, and view in the top right of RACHEL the LAN IP of RACHEL. Highlighted below, you see two IP addresses. One you are familiar with, and currently using to connect wirelessly to RACHEL ( The other IP address is your LAN IP.

  3. From any computer which is wired to the same router as RACHEL, you can now open a web browser and use the LAN IP to access RACHEL. In the above, you see the LAN IP is ( If I type that into a web browser of a computer also wired to the same router, I can get to RACHEL without using any wireless.

Some additional notes:

  • You can turn off RACHEL’s wireless in the admin settings
  • You can discover RACHEL’s LAN IP other ways, including by logging into your router, assigning RACHEL a static IP, or using a tool like Windows Network Watcher on your desktop

Jeremy, there is a client cannot get connection using LAN on the computer. The connection is well set physically.

Something must be wrong in setting the static IP address in the router. Can you share how we can set a static IP address of Rachel in the router?

Hi @Jseni – the process for setting a static IP on the router varies by the make and model of the router.

Can you access the RACHEL device over wireless and see the LAN IP address (in the top right of the RACHEL homepage)?

That should be the IP address your client uses to get to RACHEL. If you are using that IP address, and you cannot access RACHEL from the client, there is something else wrong.

Accessing Rachel through LAN IP address worked well with other Rachel Plus but one Rachel Plus is bringing trouble to be connected with the LAN. What can be an issue here? I suggested that they open the Rachel router settings and see what is missing in the RAchel troublemaker in comparison with the setting of other Rachels that accept connection via LAN.

It’s possible that the ethernet port on the RACHEL is broken also.

For the RACHEL that has trouble, can you connect to it wirelessly while it is still connected to the router? If so, can you see if it has a LAN IP address?

Hi, my name is Leon. I am a teacher in Windhoek Namibia. I got a Rachel Plus device for our school. (What a brilliant device!!!.) We have 40 computer stations- 20 are wired (LAN) because those are older PC’s and the other 20 are wireless. The Rachel Plus works perfect with the wireless one. I put a Network cable from the router to the Rachel and another network cable to the network switch. I got the LAN IP address, but still the wired ones cannot connect. I am sure I am just doing something wrong…can you guys maybe assist me please? Thank you Regards. Leon

Hi Leon,

My name is Joseph, a friend of RACHEL and volunteer of World Possible in Zambia. Connecting your RACHEL onto a router before connecting to the switch creates a new and different network domain.

Kindly try connecting RACHEL directly onto the switch so that it sits on the same network as your computers. You can then easily access it from the rest of the computers using its IP address.

Let us know if that works.

May I know how many concurrent users can access the Rachel Plus, please?

40 over wireless, but if you are using some software such as KA-Lite, it can be a lot fewer.

Thank you Jeremy. 40+ for wireless. @teacher said, he had 20 wired computers. So, with the wired computers, how much clients’ requests RACHEL+ can handle? I’ve read the http://rachelfriends.org/docs/ro/AE-Field-Report-KA-Lite-on-RACHEL-Plus.pdf. Do you have other field test report for RACHEL+ 3.0?

Hi Joseph, thank you very much. it worked!! it only connects to some of the wired computers Maybe there is still something else I am doing wrong because. Is there perhaps other settings that I can look at? But I am so happy at least some are connected…Thank you once again…Have a great week. Regards. Leon!Inked20180918_123606_LI

You might find it easier to use a router. If you do, I recommend you use a static IP address for RACHEL (I use If you use DHCP to automatically assign an IP address & you ever have a power outage you may have problems. You will then have to go into the ADVANCED SETTINGS area on your router (don’t worry, it sounds scarier than it is). In the advanced settings there will be a link or a tab for static routes. This is a screen shot from a D Link router:
If you buy a Net Gear router I have a screen shot for that one as well:
I hope this helps.

What is the Rachel plus using for its wireless signal?

Hi @Andyrob - can you be a little more specific about the question? Do you mean what WiFi card is inside the RACHEL-Plus hardware? Which version of RACHEL-Plus? The brand or the specs?

ha - i suppose that was a little ambiguous.
i am working with a group of students that are helping an NGO evaluate the RACHEL plus vs. building a similar device based on RACHEL pi. Where they are stuck is how the plus supports so many users vs. their experience with the pi. They are assuming that it is not just using the PI as a wifi hotspot.

I dont know if they (the students) understand yet the value of having all of the components wrapped into a nice supported platform that has been tested in the field.

Hello Team, I am working with a school that has RACHEL Router but its not in use. I have connected the Router to the LAN through a switch. The Desktops have static ip addresses for classroom management. However i cant access the RACHEL from the desktops. When i enable DHCP on the Desktops i am able to access RACHEL but this shuts me down from monitoring the computers since the ip addresses change. Therefore is there a way where i can still have my pc’s with static ip addresses but able to access RACHEL?

Hi Emmanuel - are you capable of setting a static IP address on RACHEL?

Yes Jeremy am able to set a static IP address on Rachel

At the beginning of 2009 a vacant block of land, adjacent to St Luke’s Church at Mosman Park, WA, provided the parishioners with the opportunity to undertake an exciting community project. The land had historically been used as a parish tennis court, but had laid idle for nearly 40 years. After some internal consultation, parishioners identified an organic community garden as their preferred option for development of the land. In less than ten months, this dream had been realised and St Luke’s Community Garden was officially opened on 31st October 2009.

Once approval was granted, we installed 27 zinc-aluminium raised garden beds (80cm high), a shed, a 22,500 litre rainwater tank and a reticulation system. Five citrus trees were planted to establish a small orchard and a communal herb garden was prepared. A site has also been set aside for planting a bush tucker garden in autumn 2010. And there are plans to build a shelter to encourage the members to sit down together and enjoy their garden space.

Mosman Park has a very diverse community; available green space is at a premium as there is a combination of high density housing at one end of the spectrum and houses with very large footprints on ever-decreasing block sizes at the other. It was thought that a community garden would bring together disparate members of the local community and also improve the interaction of St Luke’s with the local community. The garden was designed to be beautiful as well as functional so that in years to come it would be a quiet sanctuary for people to enjoy nature in addition to providing a community space for a variety of uses including meetings, picnics and outdoor church services.

In today’s market it’s hard to find more homes than love

(Bloomberg)—Think dating is hard? Finding a home to buy is proving to be even more difficult for Americans, according to a new survey by Zillow.

More than a third of people who recently relocated said buying a home is harder than finding a life partner in today’s wildly competitive market, a nationally representative survey showed.

The bidding wars, low inventories and steep price hikes over the past two years have turned into an ordeal for many home hunters. A rite of passage into adulthood and a core tenet of the “American Dream” has turned into a conflict, putting home ownership out of reach of buyers without significant financial means.

The number of available homes has shrunk over the past year as ultra-low mortgage rates and the shift to remote working in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic have fueled the demand for homes in smaller towns. Active listings fell 19% year-over-year in December to an all-time low, while prices rose 15% to an average of $382,900. Homes priced between $800,000 and $1 million are seeing the highest rates of bidding wars in the market, followed by battles between $1 million and $1.5 million.

But for those chasing virtual apps, ghosting and social media, which are now an intrinsic part of dating, finding a home may bring some relief by comparison. In a sign of how challenging dating can be, over 60% of women said that shopping for a home is more enjoyable than attempting to find romance, compared to 39% of men.

Nearly two-thirds of those surveyed also said that it is harder to meet their wish list of qualities in a partner than a list of desired features in a home. But a similar ratio is more willing to compromise on those desires in the household than a partner.

To find that perfect home or partner, people are willing to move. Over 80% of respondents said they would consider moving to buy a home, and 60% might pack their bags to improve their dating prospects.

The good news is that 80% said they love their current homes. A figure for happy people in their romantic relationships was not included.

Guest reviews IFrame

Not enough resources to implement our APIs? Here’s how our new IFrame can help

The new Guest Reviews IFrame can be implemented in just one day.

Implementing APIs can be a long process. We understand that for many of our connectivity partners, dedicating time and resources to these products – particularly new ones – can seem daunting.

That’s why we’ve developed our first IFrame. Much easier to set up than a normal API, this product is the perfect way to give your properties the best possible service – without the need to spend too much time on development.

IFrames can also be handy as a test product to see if it’s worth implementing the full API further down the line. You can set up the IFrame, see how much your properties engage with it and make a decision on whether to go for the full API or not.

So, what’s the new product?

The new IFrame is for guest reviews. As you’ll know, guest reviews are a fundamental part of receiving bookings, as a huge number of bookers look at previous guests’ opinions before choosing a place to stay. In fact, our data shows that properties with higher review scores perform better on

The Guest Reviews IFrame has many of the same functionalities as the Guest Reviews API, allowing properties to manage their guest reviews via your platform without having to click in and out.

For example, with the IFrame, properties can see all their reviews, with highlighted information indicating what guests liked or didn’t like. They can also reply to their guest reviews directly through your platform – something that improves guest experience and online reputation.

What does it look like?

The IFrame within the interface of two of our beta-testing partners.

Kross Booking

Example Krossbooking interface

Paul Westerberg and Juliana Hatfield’s The I Don’t Cares annouce debut LP, share “Born for Me” — listen

Wild Stab is due out in less than 24 hours

    Paul Westerberg of The Replacements and Juliana Hatfield announced their partnership as The I Don’t Cares back in October. Along with the singles “1 / 2 2 P” and “King of America” came the promise of the duo’s debut full-length. Now, they’ve officially announced the impending release of Wild Stab due out January 22nd (that’s tomorrow!) on Dry Wood.

    The LP consists of 16 tracks, many of which find Westerberg being unfamiliarly cheery. It would seem that both he and Hatfield have found rejuvenation in their new collaboration. “Making this music, that elusive ‘never done this before’ feeling permeated the little room more than once,” the band says in the album’s liner notes, “and it was very welcome.”

    As a last-second preview of the album, they’ve shared the single “Born for Me”. A reworking of a song from Westerberg’s 1999 solo record, Suicaine Gratifaction, this updated version has a shambolic pep in its step. Instead of a touching acoustic ode, it’s now an energetic and playful declaration of perfect romance. Check it out over at The Current.

American Structural Concrete

Issue Vol19 Iss7

Concretizing a reputation

From traditional form work to elaborate hybrid parking deck systems, American Structural Concrete has become the partner of choice for industrial concrete solutions

The recent history of American Structural Concrete (ASC) begins in 2014. After years of providing form work for high-rise buildings, the company instigated a new era, pivoting towards the provision of complete concrete frames as a means to better-serve contractors, many of whom were grappling with difficult trading conditions in the wake of the 2008 financial crash.

Since then, the company has continued to diversify. As Brack Maggard, Principal of ASC explains: “We decided to expand into industrial construction, tilt warehouses, and we brought onboard our proprietary hybrid parking deck system. In the breadth of that offering, we’re unique.”

It’s a USP that is already bearing fruit. Since 2015, ASC has been reporting an impressive set of figures, including the doubling of its tilt business between 2021 and 2022, and the steady growth of its parking deck system offering – a fact that is all the more impressive in light of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, an event that has given shape to much of the last few years.

“Covid-19 was a significant challenge,” Brack tells us. “In early 2020, it wasn’t clear what was going to happen from day-to-day. The sections of our business that were determined to be essential continued with their work. Despite the inevitable impact on productivity, our primary concern was that we wanted our people to be safe, and we did everything necessary to make sure that was the case. Throughout the entire pandemic, we only had very few infected people that got sick.”

Listening to the impressive way in which ASC dealt with the pandemic and protected its employees, it’s difficult not to draw a comparison with the company’s impeccable safety record – something confirmed by its recent receipt of the prestigious Diamond Award, presented by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) trade association. This is reflective of an approach to business that places safety as its biggest emphasis.

“Our receipt of Diamond Award status is a credit to our culture, led by our excellent safety department,” Brack confirms. “Through the effective provision of training, they’ve made sure that mindset has filtered through each level of the company, and to every one of our people in the field.”

As a trusted partner and industry leader, ASC boasts an impressive portfolio, encompassing some of the largest and most ambitious structural concrete construction projects in the Southeast United States. One such project is the award-winning Faena Art Center in Miami. Featuring a distinctive cantilevered arch, the Rem Koolhaas/OMA-designed building also includes hundreds of different window shapes and sizes implemented into the structural concrete facade. ASC provided traditional form and turnkey frame works for the project, described by Brack as a “one-of-a-kind building,” the likes of which will not be built again.

“Another significant project for us was the six-level hybrid parking deck that we built for the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma,” Brack tells us. “With 50 days of construction delays and a change in the scope of the project, we had to be efficient to meet the start date for precast fabrication and erection. Nevertheless, we built our client a one-million-square-foot parking garage, including 3000 car spaces, on time. The project has gone on to win ‘Best of Precast Structure’ and ‘Best Parking: 3000 Spaces’ from the Precast Concrete Manufacturers Association.”

ASC’s work on the Chattanooga Airport in Chattanooga, Tennessee has brought yet more awards. The challenge for the project was to start the short-term parking, and keeping it open throughout the construction of a new four-level garage. It’s a feat that was possible only with a hybrid design, which requires a crane during precast erection, but not during horizontal slab construction – a big advantage for the project’s airport setting.

“We heard that the Chattanooga Airport Authority was looking for a garage almost a year and a half prior to bid,” Brack reveals. “We went straight up there to sell them on our hybrid parking system, and after winning the contract, we completed it ahead of schedule.”

Underpinning ASC’s approach to each of these projects is an emphasis on value engineering, a process that the company utilizes to drive customer satisfaction and generate repeat business. “When we receive a set of drawings from our general contractor, we’ll go through them to identify ways in which we can redesign sections of the job to lower their costs,” Brack explains. “That might mean looking at what we can cut out or rebar, or exploring innovative approaches to the project logistics even prior to winning the bid itself.”

It’s a commitment to going the extra mile that speaks once again to ASC’s emphasis on culture. “Our people are our company,” Brack confirms. “We have incentives in place to ensure that where departments collectively meet their goals, our employees are appropriately rewarded. As a result, everybody here feels as though they’re working together – from the bid phase, right through to the completion of a job. Fostering that collaborative environment is what makes our company so successful.”

As we move firmly into Summer, prospects for ASC are looking bright. The company has a full order book for the remainder of 2022, and has already secured a sizable backload for 2023. It’s a strong backlog, which is giving the company plenty of confidence for the years to come.

“Our parking garages are going to be a highlight of our growth, simply because of the returns they deliver,” Brack concludes. “Within that segment, our intention is to transition from a design and build contractor into a general contractor for hybrid garages. We want to be able to approach a site owner with the offer to deliver a complete parking garage design and build, right down to the smallest details. At the same time, we intend to continue growing our tilt business. If we can achieve that, at the right pace, then we should be able to at least double our value within the next two-to-three years.”

Usually Book Airport Parking in Advance to Save Revenue

Unless you like paying more than the odds, you ought to by no means ever just turn up at an airport car park, devoid of pre-booking your parking for the period of your travel!

Travelling to destinations about the planet is much more accessible than ever, thanks to the rapid & straightforward access to cheap flights and accommodation. Nonetheless, when it comes to the parts of our holiday we carry out in the UK, we consistently spend too a lot, specifically when it comes to airport parking.

Airport automobile park charges can be up to 60% a lot more than the pre-booked online costs that are readily available on the internet & the earlier you book, the additional likely you are to get the ideal costs. These prices are withdrawn as you get closer to the departure date and are subject to availability, but you can nonetheless save money, even if you leave it to the departure day to pre-book your parking! Parking rates at UK airports are also less costly at specific instances of the year, so if you can opt for when you travel, then choosing off-peak dates could save you up to a THIRD.

Why should I consider pre-booking airport car or truck parking?

To save revenue – pre-booked costs can represent great savings over just arriving at an airport car or truck park. parking charges luton airport can save up to 60% on the price of parking your auto, as opposed to turning up & paying on the day.
To save time – no need to queue up to pay your automobile park charges on your return to the UK. Plus, with Meet & Greet selections, you can save even more time by going straight to the terminal and your car or truck is valet parked for you.
To assure your parking space – if you have pre-booked your auto parking, the space is guaranteed and at peak times, airport automobile parks can get very busy.
There are lots of distinctive sorts of vehicle park offered & not all forms are obtainable at all airports. Once you’ve located the cheapest price it doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll be the best selection for you. Here’s a rapid guide to what your selections typically are:

On-web page parking

This is the name offered to vehicle parks operated by the British Airports Authority (BAA). It generally suggests that the automobile park is on BAA land, but sometimes ‘off-site’ vehicle parks can essentially perform out to be closer to the terminal developing.

Off-internet site parking

Just any auto park that is not part of the airport complex itself. In other words this is the name provided to the (invariably more affordable) vehicle parks operated by third-celebration firms, which lay on typical transport (transfers) to the terminal creating. The finest of these are just as quick and handy as on-web-site, if not much more so!

Meet and Greet (occasionally identified as Valet parking)

You drive to the terminal and are met by a driver who requires your automobile keys and then parks your car or truck for you. Then, when you return to the UK, the car will be waiting back at the terminal building once more, for you to drive straight off residence. Some firms also offer to valet your vehicle, or even service it ahead of returning it to you as well. This is a terrific service, but will commonly be costly.

Airparks supply low price off-airport parking. Advertising a focus on value and outstanding buyer service indicates repeat consumers are a sturdy organization for Airparks who spread their reputation largely by means of word of mouth, supplying friendly staff and efficient service. While the car or truck parks are not inside the airport boundary, the transfer occasions are extremely great and their competitive rates make them incredibly popular.

Regional auto parks

Sometimes, tiny corporations with spare land offer you their own airport parking services & attempt to undercut the mainstream competition on price tag. On the downside, they generally do not present something like the same level of safety practically all airport car or truck parks have 24 hour CCTV and guard patrols, whereas nearby services may be much less safe and availability is more limited, so verify initial and weigh these downsides against the price tag if thinking of one particular.

It’s typically advisable to use a recognised supplier of airport parking as they will be only supplying safe car or truck parking & you can park your car or truck & relax on your vacation with peace of mind.

A further cause for checking out airport parking rates on line is if you are taking into consideration taking a taxi to the airport. You could basically save up to half the taxi fare by pre-booking airport parking alternatively! Or why not look at booking a hotel packaged WITH parking. At particular times of the year, specially August and September, a hotel & parking package can work out to be up to £20 more affordable than parking on its personal! If you have an early check-in time, staying overnight in an airport hotel takes all the anxiety out of finding to the airport on time & leaves you relaxed & ready to fly.

The bottom line is never spend on the day if you see someone placing revenue into a parking machine at the airport, then why not do them a favour and recommend they pre-book their airport parking subsequent time they travel to save themselves up to 60% in charges – they’ll probably thank you for it!!

Mexican Nativity in Creche

  • 6900

Mexicans (and we Italians) love nativity scenes at Christmas. Artisan Saul Montesinos has been making Day of the Dead style nativities for us for years now, but now, Senor Montesinos decided to go more traditional. This new creche features a most recognizable Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, an ox and and an ass, and an angel. It's just like our super popular Dia de los Muertos nativity, only no one is a skeleton. There is a hook in back so the nativity may be hung on a wall, if you wish, but it also stands on its own.  Senor Montesinos makes each of these nativities by hand in Puebla, Mexico. About 4.5" tall x 5" wide x 2" deep, and quite hefty: it's made of clay and wire and weighs about a pound. Colors will vary according to Sr. Montesinos' whim; no two are alike.

Colorado’s and Utah’s Authoritative Voice of Ice and Inline Hockey

Broomfield native, Colorado youth hockey alum Graber recognized as 2021-22 ECHL MVP

The ECHL has announced that Will Graber of the Fort Wayne Komets has been selected as the Warrior Hockey ECHL Most Valuable Player for the 2021-22 season.
The award is presented annually to the player selected to be the most valuable to his team as determined in a vote of ECHL coaches, broadcasters, media relations directors and media members.

“It’s definitely a nice thing to take awards and end the regular season well, but at this point now, everything resets,” said Graber to the Journal Gazette. “Hopefully, we can do the same kinds of things we’ve been doing and have some success in the playoffs as well.

“I don’t necessarily think about it that often, but if you would have said back in October that I would be in the situation I’m in, I wouldn’t necessarily have believed it. I mean, a lot has changed, even going back to August when I thought I would be in South Carolina, so I’m very thankful that things worked out the way they did. I was able to come here and get a great opportunity, be in a great organization, so I’m thankful for that.”

TJ Hensick of the Toledo Walleye finished second, followed by the Newfoundland Growlers’ Zach O’Brien, Kris Bennett of the Iowa Heartlanders and the Utah Grizzlies’ Charle-Edouard D’Astous
Named to the All-ECHL First Team last week, the Broomfield native became the first player in ECHL history to lead the league in points (83) and plus-minus (plus-37) in the same season. He also led the ECHL with 57 assists while recording at least one point in 35 of his 59 games.

In Colorado, Graber grew up playing for the Boulder Hockey Club, Colorado Thunderbirds and Rocky Mountain RoughRiders.

  • Drug Uses

    Vimax is a compound formula that allows your penis to get bigger and also:

    Significantly improves your erections
    Makes you erections much harder at any moment when needed
    VIMAX PILLS stimulate penis blood circulation so your erection will be as hard as you need for quite some time to provide you with excellent orgasm experience
    Increases the sensitivity and intensity of orgasms
    Prevents from early ejaculations
    Makes your penis look so great that it will definitely make your partner feel excited

    How to use

    A normal dosage of Vimax – one pill 50 mg per day – will require more than 4 weeks to begin seeing improvement in penis length and girth. However, there should be noticeable improvement with stamina and vitality before the physical benefits are realized.

    Drug Class and Mechanism

    Vimax is 100 percent natural and contains some of the most common natural herbs to promote penis enlargement.

    The results of latest researches and tests prove that Vimax is capable to stimulate the growth of penis for up to 3-4 inches in length and 25% in width which is truly impressive.

    First, Vimax is a supplement, not a drug. If you are a man who has any type of chronic medical problem such as heart disease or diabetes, you should be consulting with your doctor about taking any type of supplement or drug prior to use.

    Possible Side Effects

    Because Vimax is natural, the only possible side effects to using it would be an allergic reaction or some other side effect to one of the ingredients. Because it contains no sugar, artificial coloring or preservatives, it is safe for most men. If you have a particular medical condition that requires daily medication, you should consult your doctor.

Arms or Carrots?

Not a very glam post for Joe this time, he was looking rather dapper in pink I thought! (see previous post)

This atc sized, look where I've planted my carrots creation was made for the current challenge at Gingersnap Creations where the theme is Farm Fresh.

I can't take credit for the absolute genius behind this, that must go to my daughter Vicky who first created the atc below. It was Vicky who realised that Joe's arms and hands actually look like carrots!!
Mind you, they say there is a fine line between genius and madness, em think I'll leave that there.
(Joe is 'Head' by Stampotique)

Thanks for taking the time to visit, wishing you a very happy 5 a day day,
Sam xxx

  1. Sheer genius! Like mother, like daughter! xx

  2. i thinks its lush, i love them xx

  3. The addition of carrots added a twist :-}

  4. I think yours is way better than mine ;)

  5. Love the carrots theme :) Two beautiful atc's!

  6. Joe looks fantastic - so cool. :)

  7. this is darling! thanks for playing at Gingersnap Creations. take care, gerri

  8. Congratulations on being chosen as a Ginger Gem, Sam!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment, Sam x

Low level implementation details

Rich FitzJohn

These are some implementation details that may be of interest if developing alternative (non-hiredis based) drivers.

Create a connection:

con <- redux::redis_connection(redux::redis_config())
## <redis_connection[redux]>:
##   - config()
##   - reconnect()
##   - command(cmd)
##   - pipeline(cmds)
##   - subscribe(channel, pattern, callback, envir = parent.frame())

See ?redux::redis_config for details on specifying hosts, ports, servers, etc. Importantly, socket connections can be used, which can be considerably faster if you are connecting to a local Redis instance and have socket connections enabled.

The connection object provides several functions for interfacing with Redis:

The simplest command is a character vector, starting with a Redis command, e.g.:

con$command(c("SET", "foo", 1))
## [Redis: OK]

However, if we wanted to set foo to be an R object (e.g. 1:10), then we need to serialise the object. To do that we use raw vectors and the command would become:

con$command(list("SET", "foo", serialize(1:10, NULL)))
## [Redis: OK]

and to retrieve it:

unserialize(con$command(c("GET", "foo")))
##  [1]  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10

Elements of a list command can be:

NULL values in the list will be skipped over.

See the redis documentation (http://redis.io/topics/pipelining) for background information about pipelining. In short, evaluating

con$command(c("INCR", "X"))
## [1] 21
con$command(c("INCR", "X"))
## [1] 22

will result in two round trips:

Client: INCR X
Server: 1
Client: INCR X
Server: 2

These commands can be pipelined together into a single request so that the interaction looks like:

Client: INCR X
Client: INCR X
Server: 1
Server: 2

To do this, the pipeline function in the redis object accepts multiple Redis commands as a list:

  c("INCR", "X"),
  c("INCR", "X")
## [[1]]
## [1] 23
## [[2]]
## [1] 24

(if these arguments are named, then the output will have the same names).

Note the warnings about pipeline (http://redis.io/topics/pipelining#redis-pipelining) in the official Redis documentation - sending so many commands (e.g., >10k) memory use on the server can be negatively affected.

Subscriptions, really should be done with the wrapper, which is exposed by the subscribe method of a redis_api object (e.g, redux). The brave are welcome to use this low-level interface should the need arise. The subscribe function takes arguments:

The callback function must take a single argument; this will be the received message with named elements type (which will be message), channel (the name of the channel) and value (the message contents). If pattern was TRUE, then an additional element pattern will be present (see the Redis docs). The callback must return TRUE or FALSE; this indicates if the client should continue quit (i.e., TRUE means return control to R, FALSE means keep going).

Because the subscribe function is blocking and returns nothing, so all data collection needs to happen as a side-effect of the callback function.

Here’s an example that will collect values until it has 10 entries:

callback <- local({
  i <- 1L
  vals <- numeric(10L)
  function(x) {
    vals[[i]] <<- as.numeric(x$value)
    i <<- i + 1L
    i > 10L

which, given a valid publisher would look like:

con$subscribe("foo", FALSE, callback)

This will sit there forever unless something publishes on channel foo. In a second instance you can run:

con <- redux::redis_connection(redux::redis_config())
res <- sapply(1:11, function(i) con$command(c("PUBLISH", "foo", runif(1))))

which will return 10 values of 1 and 1 value of 0 (being the number of clients subscribed to the foo channel).

Back in the client R instance, the subscriber has detached, and

will be a vector of 10 random numbers!

How To Replace Your Catalytic Converter

Your Magnaflow exhaust package comes with three pieces–a resonator, center pipe, and muffler section. The front resonator comes with a mounting flange that bolts right onto your stock catalytic converter. This part connects to a center pipe that is secured with exhaust clamps, which are supplied. And the rear muffler section joins together, exiting the car in the center of the rear bumper. Also, all the parts are stainless steel, which don’t rust or stain–nice job Magnaflow.

If there’s a market, there’ll be a supplier. The average American consumer believed what they wanted to, that the price of fuel would always be low. Compared to the rest of the world, we’ve been paying pennies per gallon when others have been paying dollars. We’re catching up to reality and the rest of the world. American auto manufacturers are experiencing hard times, hard times that have been brought on by short-term thinking and lack of foresight. The rest of the world has been driving small, economy cars for a long time and it’s going to take the American auto manufacturer, and the average American consumer, a long to catch up. Let me state again, that if there’s a market, there’ll be a supplier.

RPM – Revolutions Per Minute. How many times is the engine spinning (performing a revolution) per minute. With the press of the accelerator, the RPM increases. Different cars are able to perform and a higher RPM than others – sports cars for example.

Using the MIG welder, tack weld the exhaust tubing that is between the two cut sections of the exhaust. The tack weld is a small and fast kind of welding that secures two pieces together. This however is temporary. You have to make sure that the alignment is straight and that there are no gaps between the tubing before a permanent welding could be done.

Subsequently after all pipes are connected, begin fastening each section to the 1st. Apply an ample amount of torque on each bolt to make certain it is tight.

Check the tail pipe. With the engine running, go to the tail pipe and stand there and smell it. Yes I did say that. If it burns in your eyes and throat, it has a vacuum leak in the motor, often a simple fix but time consuming trying to find it. It will not pass smog with this problem. If the exhaust smells of gasoline and the tail pipe looks black, the engine is running too rich and will need an adjustment. It may or may not pass smog. Likely you will need to replace the spark plugs as well. If it smells like any other car with a catalytic converter recycling, it is probably fine.

There is some debate on this subject. There are rumors that 180 can be achieved. But by going with the numbers, 168-172mph in stock form seems possible.

If you are faced with this kind of situation, you should try to check if it is attached very thinly, then you should try to break if off. Keep in mind that before you do touch your car’s exhaust pipe, make sure that it is cool enough to touch or you might just get burnt in the process. On the other hand, if you cannot break it off, look around for a wire coat hanger or a mechanic’s wire. Wrap this around one end of the hanging pipe and then fasten the other end to the underside of your car. This should keep it in place right up until you bring your car to the muffler shop.

WOYWW, CAS, Embossed, Black and Gold, Male Birthday Card

My Nephew is turning 25 (how did that happen!) As he is a young male executive, I wanted a slightly trendy/classy masculine birthday card to send to him. With the help of a few card challenges, I came up with a black and gold theme that I think will fit the bill. The “New” item that I used was the sentiment “Happy Birthday to You”, it’s been in my stash but this is the first time I played with it.

I’m entering this card in the following challenges: The Paper Players & Shopping our Stash: Use something new, Addicted to CAS: Emboss, and Cardz for Guyz: Black and Gold

On Wednesday several of us share the state of our desks with one another. This is my desk after this project, and a few others that I recently made and didn’t clean up after.

WOYWW: Box of blank card fronts, ink, scrap paper, punches, glue, unwrapped present, stamp set, etc.
What I used to make my card: Stampin Up stamps and Gold embossing powder.

A quick organizing tip: clean to one song ~ that’s it! Just start when the music starts and stop when the music stops. That simple. Like the adult version of the Barney clean up idea adapted to your adult craft space. It may not get the job completely done, but it’ll be a start and sometimes that’s all you need to get motivated. You may just end up cleaning to two or three songs, but just commit to one at a time. Here is my work surfaces after two songs, the things I left out are a WIP.

Enjoy the rest of your week! I’ll be busy putting away all the Christmas decorations and hope to be finished before the weekend!

Hello! I'm a 50 something wife and mother of two girls ~ I started Blogging in March of 2011 on Blogger and just converted to WordPress in Dec 2019. I started paper crafting in 1995 when I first tried embossing with powder, I was so excited and couldn't believe it was so easy to make something so beautiful. Creativeseconds was started as a way of selling secondhand craft supplies and cards on Ebay and Etsy. You will find creative cards, tags, and paper crafting projects here as well as craft room organizational ideas. Follow along with me and comments are welcomed and appreciated.

  1. Lovely embossed card! I really must get one of those little bags of stuff that keeps the powder only on the ink. My embossing always looks Galaxy (full of little stars and dots) even when I don’t want it to be LOL! Your simple but striking card is perfect for a guy. Love it.

    Happy WOYWW 2021!

  2. Perfect card for the type Karen, great job! Like the idea of clean up to a song, that would sure be a great help, and a nice way to finish a session! So the box of cards fronts is interesting…are they pre cut mounts then, or actually just one size of pre folded card? And by the way…don’t they look fab all in lovely colour order like that!

    1. Just card stock cut to 4.25 x 5.5 since I do a lot of individual cards I end up having half of an 8 1/2 x 11 leftover so I started a box to keep them in! It’s really convenient for checking colors for backgrounds too

  3. I love that sophisticated gold and black colour scheme Karen and it’s perfect for a young man! Love your clearing up tip! I’m going back to have a look at more of your posts as I’ve not been around lately but let me just wish you and your family all the very best for the coming year. Vicky x

  4. Hi Karen, that card is certainly one for me to copy – I always struggle with male cards, and that is so sophisticated – thanks for sharing. I love the idea of cleaning up to one song, I may just give that a go next time I am due to tidy my craft space. Have a lovely week, Heather xx #14

  5. Karen, your minimalist black and gold male card is a stunner! It’s really cool, and should go down a treat with the Young Executive! As for the cleaning up tip, that’s a great idea. For someone who runs out of energy very rapidly, sometimes the task of tidying up seems overwhelming and it doesn’t get done at all, and it just gets compounded with more mess. Your tip means that you can break it down into manageable chunks. Brilliant.

    Thank you for your visit and for all your kind words!! So appreciated. So nice to meet another Vitamix blendaholic!! Unless they’ve changed the design, the blades are meant to be dull. 2 reasons for this – 1) If they start out sharp, they get blunt and don’t work so well. 2) They don’t actually “slice” the food but pulverise it at high speed so they don’t need to be sharp. Over time they shouldn’t change, I wouldn’t have thought, but I do know that you can buy spare parts, including just the blade assembly. I am absolutely loving my new Vitamix and it’s been in use daily and will continue to be – I do a lot that needs a high speed blender. I can’t believe how much better it is than my old blender – it’s a real Rolls Royce of blenders! I said to my hubby yesterday “It’s the king of blenders! It’s even got a crown!” – the lovely clear clip-on lid! Vitamixes are guaranteed for 10 years so yours should still be fine. Nobody these days gives a 10 year guarantee – it shows what confidence they have in their machines, doesn’t it. Everything is such superb quality – heavy, and thick plastic parts, metal bearings etc. Definitely built to last, and you can feel the quality which makes it a real pleasure to use. It is fabulous.

    A very happy new year and blessings to you too, Karen.
    Happy WOYWW,

Thanks so much for sharing this with us at the Players and playing with my “new” challenge this week!

The Newest Luxury SUVs Everyone Wants in 2018

Michael Blake Credit Cards, Uncategorized, Wealth & Lifestyle

To own a luxurious car, which would make head turns and mouths gape open, is a dream possessed by all. With all the technological advancements making their way in the automobile industry, nobody wants to go out with an outdated vehicle, devoid of the best of the capabilities and performances. With the latest luxurious SUVs (Sport Utility Vehicle) coming out, ditching your obsolete car has become even more important.

The time when SUVs were considered to be big, rugged machines which were technically made to endure a tough life, are long gone. Incorporating properties such as

  • Larger seating capacities
  • A safer driving experience
  • Higher driving position
  • An extraordinary performance in the icy winters
  • Provision of the latest technology gadgets,

Has made SUVs a popular choice amongst families. This is why 2018 is expected to be the largest selling year for luxury SUVs. In case you were thinking of upgrading your old car for a luxury one, you definitely need to take a look at these SUVs which have hit the markets in 2018.

  • Lexus RX:

The latest update of the Lexus brand called the Lexus RX, which has been previously famous for its luxurious properties, included more seating space including a power folding third-row seating along with a larger area dedicated for the storage of cargo. The access to the third seat has been made even easier using the tilt and slide seat feature.

Talking about the incorporation of the latest gadgets, a touch free power rear door has been added to the SUV, so that now you can lock the door simply by placing hand or elbow near the sensors.

Moreover, Lexus RX incorporates advanced safety equipment including a pre collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with a lane keep assist, all speed dynamic radar cruise control and intelligent high-beam headlamps.

  • BMW X3 xDrive30i:

BMW X3 xDrive30i is the first car ever to receive a full five star rating from CNBC following its registration in the year 2018. Probably the best thing about this SUV is the fact that there is no single good thing about it. In fact it is composed of multiple out of the box features.

This compact SUV offers a camera with a 360 degree view around the car which makes parking and steering easier for you. It has an infotainment system, the likes of which are unparalleled elsewhere, incorporating voice commands, steering controls as well as rotary control.

As an additional advantage, you can enjoy heated seats, heads up display and a moon roof.

  • Jaguar E Pace:

The Jaguar E Pace follows in the footsteps of the F Pace model, which happens to be Jaguar’s first SUV. The E Pace model is generally more compact than the F Pace one, and incorporates a variety of features which makes it stand out amongst its peers.

Automated control is starting to become more of a necessity than luxury in car design. An adaptive cruise control along with lane keeping assistance is therefore the most notable features of the SUV.

Jaguar E Pace managed to secure an excellent five star ANCAP rating owing to its autonomous emergency braking system, which has taken safety to a whole new level.

  • Lincoln Navigator:

A full sized SUV, which is not at all compact, presents a much more contemporary appearance featuring an aluminum body which replaces the steel one. This 8 seated SUV offers plenty of room to carry multiple passengers and is therefore most preferred by larger families.

These might be our top picks but the list definitely doesn’t end here. The automobile industry is flourishing thanks to the rapid technological advancements, and thereby it has sought to bring to you the best of the vehicles. Before picking the one car to buy, do a thorough research and make a cost analysis to see which one suits you best.

Strawberry Creek represents one of eight Berkeley creeks flowing between the Coast Range and San Francisco Bay. Both the South Fork and most of the North Fork of the Creek flow in open channels through the main campus. In the 2.4 miles between the Bay and the UC Berkeley campus, the Creek is mostly contained in culverts. In the campus reach, Strawberry Creek provides numerous benefits. In addition to its functional role of providing drainage and flood conveyance, it serves as valuable riparian and wildlife habitat, and provides for visual, educational, and recreational activities.

Happy Hallowe'en!!!! Day 31

Today's the day!
I can't believe we made it!
I feel good that I pushed myself to finish, even though
I really wanted to just quit and sleep. A few times.
Glad I made it to the end.

I wanted to share a smattering of my actual Halloween-type shirts.
The three are from Toxic Toons/Eric Pigors, and the Jack Shinnington
shirt is from Fright Rags. The chick in the coffin glows in the dark. Bonus!

I had been dying to make these pumpkin spice cupcakes.
That is until I was halfway through making the buttercream frosting by hand,
and realized that this was way too labor intensive for me! But I was almost
done and wanted to try the pumpkin spice frosting and the cupcake together.

So here is a great shot of my crappy piping skills.
Good thing this isn't chocolate frosting....

Despite their slightly 'rustic' appearance, they were/are delicious!
And they photograph pretty well, also.

Have you heard of the "Busy Mockingbird"? She is an artist
who draws gorgeous faces and heads of people or whatever,
and then she lets her young daughter 'finish' the drawing in her
own style. They both are some amazing ladies.

As if that weren't enough, she has begun to sculpt these adorably
creepy, and kinda fugly, Monster Puppies!!
I chose this one to come and live with me. Isn't he sweet?
This one is actually a brooch, but she makes necklaces and actual
plushies with these kinds of faces.

I just wanted to share this photo because it is beyond
cool! And beautifully shot.

Here is the final page of that Halloween themed paper bag album
I have been working on all month. I still have some fine tuning to do,
but pretty much like Halloween, this thing is done. I just need to add covers
and add ribbons to the binding edge.

I used a cool raven image (from parts unknown) and a Happy Halloween
image from Stampin' Up. I clear embossed the 31 after I colored it orange
using Copics. Then I used some distress inks to finish off the background.
I'm happy it's done, and I'm proud of the work I put into it. I couldn't have
done it without these Halloween hops. Lots of work, but great fun.
I hope to see you guys lurking and whatnot in the future.
I'm going to go hibernate for a week or two....

I will leave you with a couple of snapshots of my squirrel baby,

I'd say she is feeling 100% better than two weeks ago.
Gabbi is 100% as well, but declined to have her photo taken.
Thank you again, for all of your kind words and prayers.
I am positive it made a huge difference for me, which in turn,
helped my babies.
You guys ROCK!

  1. Great image on you album page!! Congrats on making it to the end despite all the ups and downs in your life this month! So glad the doggies are well again too xxx I've loved all your projects, decorations and assorted Halloween pictures and whatnot.....enjoy a peaceful few weeks...maybe I'll see you for the Creepmas hop!! xxxxx

So glad they are both doing well; you must be an amazing nurse that is such a hard disease to fight! Congrats! Love, love that raven and your coloring on your last page! It is awesome! Happy Halloween! Thanks for all your inspiration!

  5. You have shared so many unbelieveably cool things with us this month, and introduced us to other wonderful artists as well.
    Your final page is very fitting. Love the 31 placement in the raven beak.
    Sad as it is for the hop to be over, the news that your pups are doing so much better makes us feel happy. Such a delightful example with Foxxi, your tree dog!
    Your cupcakes and wicked orange piped frosting are enticing. It may be time for me to fire up my oven. You continue to inspire me.
    Thank you for being here every day this month. Your talent, big heart and generosity make the world a better place. And a more beautiful place.

  6. Your cupcakes look delish. I might have to give them a try. Love your final album page - full of color and fun details. Busy Mockingbird has some interesting items, this little puppy is kinda creepy but cute. On a final note - I am glad to made it to the finish line. I am proud of you. Happy Halloween. Thanks for being apart of this fun 31 Days of Halloween Hop.

  7. Love your project!!! Happy Halloween!!

  8. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! What a spooktacular finale post, I love every single detail or all your awesome goodies, and cupcakes and furbabies and not to mention that fantastic card! Bravo!

  9. Happy Halloween! This lurker thanks for you all the wonderful projects you shared over the past 30 days! It was fun getting to know you and your work better!

  10. Awesome page, love the colors!

  11. Fabulous album page! Love that purple raven! Thank you so much for all your wonderful projects over the past month, and I'm so, so glad that your doggies are so much better! (A tip on the frosting: use a star tip instead of a round tip--it will make all the difference.)

  12. Happy Halloween! It's been a blast visiting you each day to see your wonderful art! I'm so happy your furbabies are all better too. :)

  13. Glo this is a perfect ending to a perfect run of projects. I have loved all that you have created this month. Thanks for being so wickedly cool. You rock!

  14. Another superlative page! Have really enjoyed your post althrough! Thank you! See you next time!!

Mathematical Analysis of Antibody by Gamma and PSI Functions

Submission: September 13, 2017; Published: December 18, 2017

DOI: 10.31031/APDV.2017.02.000535

ISSN: 2576-9162
Volume2 Issue2

This study aimed to develop mathematical models with important physiological parameters involving immune response for antibody by using Gamma and Psi functions, which could be used in many aspects, for instance to explain the controversies concerning antibody concentration with biological reasons and mathematical calculations, to optimize the antibody yield in large scale production. In this paper, we establish two new logarithmically completely monotonic functions involving the gamma function according to two preferred interaction geometries, necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for one of them to be logarithmically completely monotonic. As a consequence, a sharp inequality involving the gamma function is deduced to solve the problems of genetically engineered antibody. This approach would aid to utilize the engineered antibodies and their derivatives for various biomedical applications.

Keywords: Gamma function; Genetically engineered antibody; Logarithmically completely monotonic; Inequality; PSI function

Muscular strength is considered one of the principal physical aptitude and healthy components [1] and its evaluation through manual grip, besides being relatively simple, does not involve considerable financial expenditures and possesses good predictive capacity. Therefore, it can have great value for triage in programs and researches considering physical activities and sports [2]. Suitable levels of strength and flexibility are important for good physical aptitude and healthy1 thereby previous works report stretching capacity in sport performance reduction [3], by neural and structural modifications due to muscular stretching [4]. Thus, this work aims to investigate the acute effect of PNF stretching method on the isometric strength of muscles used in manual grip of healthy women.

MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System)

The United States Congress directed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue further regulations to identify and regulate additional stormwater discharges that were considered to be contributing to national water quality impairments. On December 8, 1999, the EPA issued regulations that expanded the existing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Storm Water Program to include discharges from small MS4s in "urbanized areas" serving populations of less than 100,000 and stormwater discharges from construction activities that disturb more than one acre of land. These regulations are referred to as the NPDES Phase II Storm Water Program. The urbanized area portion of Lake County met these criteria and was consequently designated as an MS4 entity.

NPDES Phase II Program

In the State of Indiana, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) is responsible for the development and oversight of the NPDES Phase II Program. IDEM initiated adoption of the Phase II Rules which was codified as 327 IAC 15-13 (Rule 13). Rule 13 became effective on August 6, 2003 and requires designated MS4 entities to apply for permit coverage by submitting a Notice of Intent (NOI) and developing Storm Water Quality Management Plans (SWQMPs) through a phased submittal process.

Stormwater Quality Management Plan

IDEM's initial phased submittal requirements included the implementation of a Crown Point Stormwater Quality Management Plan which was initially approved on March 1, 2005. Crown Point has updated the plan multiple times in the intervening years and the City is currently in Year 3 of a 5-Year IDEM NPDES Phase II Stormwater Permit.
