Back in Time is ED’s newspaper-like column that reports an incident from the past as though it has happened just yesterday. It allows the reader to relive it several years later, on the date it had occurred.

28 June 1969:

On the day of the riots

Today at wee hours of the morning, the New York Police Department raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar located at 53 Christopher Street, in Greenwich Village. The police officers arrived exactly at 2 am to clear the bar which approximately had 200 people.

While Detective Charles Smythe, deputy inspector Seymour Pine and six fellow officers from the New York Police Department arrested the mafia dealers accused of running illegal liquor practices, other patrons cooperated and went outside to wait.

However, within minutes the police started enquiring about the people’s identification whereas the women officials took cross-dressed individuals to restrooms to determine their sex, leading to several arrests.

This sparked outrage among the masses waiting outside. Seeing the arrest of several gay men and women, they started shouting “gay power” and “we shall overcome,”  at the police vehicles and officers at the scene.

An arrested woman who has been identified as Storme DeLarver had alleged that she was beaten by a nightstick and was handcuffed. She pleaded with the crowd to take action, leading the dissent to turn into a riot.

Empty beer bottles and pennies were hurled at the vehicles while several individuals were getting beaten up by the cops inside the bar. Activists Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera – trans women of color, the former celebrating her 25th birthday then have been identified among the ones who initiated it.

The cops – along with folk singer Dave Van Ronk and Village Voice writer Howard Smith barricaded themselves for safety whilst covering the windows with plywood only for the doors to be broken in by a torn parking meter. Further, the bar top was set ablaze.

Recent information has asserted that the Inn has been destroyed completely with its washroom, mirrors, jukeboxes, and cigarette machine demolished. Thirteen people have been arrested, four officers treated for injuries and several people have been hospitalized.

Nature remains chaotic as of now and further developments in the matter are awaited. Though the alleged motive behind the raid remains illegal liquor practices and arrests of mafia leaders, it is very well suspected that members of the gay community were the primary target.

This is affirmed by the fact that several drag queens, transgenders, and gay men frequent the place. Especially because of its cheap rates which drop to as low as three dollars at night.

Post Scriptum

The revolutionary riot led to the formation of the Gay Liberation Front and other activist alliances. Newspapers like Gay, Come Out! and Gay Power was born leading the path to centuries of revolution.

To honor the 1st anniversary of the riots, activist Brenda Howard and others coordinated marchers parallelly in Los Angeles and Chicago, and the “Christopher Street Liberation Day” was celebrated.

It took over 3 decades since then for the government of Bill Clinton to declare June as the ‘Gay and Lesbian Pride Month.’ The Barack Obama government went a step forward to include the LGBT spectrum, renaming it as the ‘Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month.’

The Stonewall Riots remain symbolic in not only American but also global history. They gave birth to dissent and protests for equal- inclusion, admissibility and recognition, and above all, fundamental human dignity and rights.

The result? Today, the world over, the month of June witnesses pompous celebrations and New York City celebrates the Gay Pride Parade in the last week of June every year.

Understanding the Vaping Dangers – What Are the Main Vaping Dangers?

Understanding the Vaping Dangers – What Are the Main Vaping Dangers?

Understanding the Vaping Dangers – What Are the Main Vaping Dangers?

The vapors made by electronic cigarettes contain a number of known and unknown vaping dangers. As more information about these products comes to light, the general public is becoming more educated and is starting to question the safety of e-juices. It is also becoming increasingly clear what the true dangers are from regular e-juice consumption. In this posting we will check out two of the newest issues that have surfaced as a result of increased knowledge. We shall look at possible lung disease connected with e-juices and why quitting is so important.

First, let’s take a closer look at what we know about podsmall.com the long-term ramifications of e-juice. The American Cancer Society has warned for some time concerning the potential cancer-causing toxins found in cigarette smoking. There is even a widely-accepted guideline, “A glass of red wine a day keeps the wrinkles away”. So, it stands to reason that if you consume a lot of, it might have a similar influence on your body as using tobacco.

A couple of things which have been strongly suspected are formation of small bits of crystals in the e-juice, and a potential growth of carcinogens, toxins, and chemicals in the vapor. Almost all of the fear appears to be centered around the chance for Nicotine/Vapour containing cancer-causing agents, however some other studies have claimed that there may be some truth to the matter. One of the latest studies directly contradicts the prior claims, however, saying that there will not look like any evidence that e-cigarette use can cause cancer or tumors.

Lung disease is probably the major concerns, especially because of the increasing age of the population. Recent research implies that younger people are beginning to suffer from shortened lifespan because of exposure to second hand smoke. If you have a causal relationship between smoking and lung disease, it would only seem fair that we take every possible step to get rid of this threat. The concern about long-term effects is not as important as finding the safest way to administer e-juices to our family members.

As stated earlier, there has been plenty of interest in e cigarettes since they seem to offer an alternative solution to the traditional method of quitting. However, if you think about the fact that using tobacco has been proven to result in a variety of cancers, cardiovascular disease, and many other ailments, it is difficult to see why anyone would elect to go the e-pipe route. Additionally it is important to realize that if you stop using them and resume cigarette smoking, almost all of the symptoms that were associated with cigarette smoking will return.

This is the reason it is important to be sure that the electronic devices that you decide to use as a smoking alternative are FDA approved for use as a true electronic device. Only people that have proper licenses and those which have undergone extensive testing should be permitted to sell e-cigarette pens to the public. Also, the individual selling these e-pens for you should have the duty of wearing a medical ID tag that may make you checked for just about any lung injury or cancer risk anytime. Lung injury and cancer can simply play havoc on your standard of living, and you want to make sure that you protect yourself from these horrible long-term effects.

There are several very real concerns related to the intake of e cigarettes and the potential long-term effects. Because the vapor is produced without combustion involved, you will find a much greater chance that some form of toxic chemical could be released in to the user’s lungs if you were to ever create a lung injury from a vapor product. The very same concern is connected with popcorn lung. These harmful ingredients have the ability to burn your lungs and if you were to ever create a chronic lung injury from a vapor product, it could be extremely difficult to get rid of.

To address the problem of no combustion involved with these devices, the latest technology in e cigarettes is always to utilize the use of Vitamin E acetate, generally known as Alpha Arbutin. This ingredient has the capacity to absorb in to the lungs and increase the oxygen permeability of the lungs. With increased oxygen permeability, the power of the lung to absorb nutrients that are needed to maintain healthy cell function is enhanced. Also, because VITAMIN E ANTIOXIDANT acetate is naturally produced in the body, it would not cause any toxicity or long-term health issues. With this technology, you would be protecting your wellbeing and preventing a potential heart attack, stroke, and even cancer.

Project example

Project example

Measuring and improving air quality in the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh

The Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, is experiencing rapid development in its metropolitan area leading to social and environmental sustainability challenges – including worsening air quality and its associated health impacts. Ricardo has more than two decades’ experience of successful and focussed service delivery on air quality management and has been chosen by ArRiyadh Development Authority to deliver a consolidated air quality evidence base to support the development of its air quality policy.

The project aims to draw together a single, authoritative source of information which identifies key pollutants and apportions their emissions by source in a robust way. The data gathered needs to be not only of the highest quality but also appropriate for informing emission reduction strategies and enhancing air quality management in the city of Riyadh.

Ricardo is using a state-of-the-art city-scale air quality modelling approach based on internationally recognised peer-reviewed atmospheric dispersion models such as the US Environmental Protection Agency’s AERMOD and CALPUFF codes. These will provide a comprehensive picture of air quality across the city now and in the future, beyond the currently available measured concentrations. Ricardo’s own proven proprietary MODUS air quality data management system is being used to measure, manage, verify and report the collected data.

The system generates an hourly Air Quality Index bulletin to communicate health information to the public and provide associated air quality alerts. Ricardo is also consolidating air quality measurement and modelling data within the ArRiyadh Development Authority’s existing ESRI Server GIS system in a fully -integrated way that enables interrogation, querying and reporting of data. Further advice is being provided on environmental impact assessments and the rationalisation of existing air quality measurements within the city.

Alongside high quality data collection, analysis, interpretation and dissemination, Ricardo is delivering a comprehensive programme of training and knowledge transfer to designated ArRiyadh Development Authority employees. This will ensure that the Authority reaps the full benefits of the systems delivery and that a lasting legacy of sustainability will be achieved.

Only four states can pay salaries without borrowing – BudgIT

Only four states in Nigeria can pay salaries without resorting to lending, a new report by BudgIT, a civil society organisation, has shown.

The report, State of State 2017, was launched on Thursday and released to the public on Friday.

“Important is states’ ability to meet their recurrent expenditure obligation with all revenue source — a test of prudent fiscal management. Kano, Katsina, Rivers and Lagos top that portion of the index.

“In effect, only four states could meet their recurrent expenditure obligation without resorting to borrowing or tapping donor funds and other extra-budgetary revenue sources.”

In September, TheCable had reported that 11 states lost large portions of the federal accounts allocation committee (FAAC) monthly allocation to deductions .

“Bonds issued by the states are usually assisted by Irrevocable Standing Payment Orders (ISPOs), which legally empower the accountant general of the federation (AGF) to withdraw sums due to debt holders from state governments’ revenue accounts with the federal government, including interest and capital repayments,” BudgIT’s report further read.

“As about 83% of states’ revenues are collected by the federal government, what accrues to states’ coffers is the balance left after obligations to debtholders are deducted from each state’s share of revenue.

“The effect of huge debt supported by ISPOs is already eating deep into the account of Lagos, Cross River and Osun states. Osun’s net allocation is even in the negative terrain, which invariably puts more pressure on future revenue.

“Also, the index looks at the ability of states to sustainably manage their debt profiles.

The index tries to see the extent to which today’s revenue can service outstanding debts. Anambra and Yobe top the index.

“Osun trails the overall index. The state’s inability to meet its recurrent expenditure obligations, its heavy debt profile and inefficiency in the collection of internally generated revenue weighed seriously on the state.

“Kwara’s rapid improvement in its internally generated revenue helps the state’s performance on the index. Also noticeable is the 22.56%, 52.18%, 2.29% and 2.78% fall in the debt profile of Delta, Kebbi, Gombe and Ebonyi states, respectively.”

Etiologic diagnosis of renal calculus disease.

E. R. Kreutzer, V. W. Folkert

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

7 Scopus citations

Renal calculus disease is a common cause of morbidity in industrialized societies, accounting for seven to 10 of every 1000 hospital admissions. Recent advances in surgical therapy have made operative therapy much less invasive while maintaining a high level of success. However, the need to reduce the incidence of this disease persists as more than one half of all stone formers will have recurrence. Although the etiology and therapy for several types of renal calculi are established, much remains unknown concerning the mechanisms of formation of the most prevalent form of renal calculi, calcium oxalate. This article reviews recent basic science and clinical research that attempts to identify the etiologies of renal calculus formation.

Lungwort – A Forgotten Ally

Lungwort (Pulmonaria officinalis)

When I first became interested in herbs, nearly 15 years ago, Lungwort, the intriguing spotted member of the borage family, was one of the first plants to really captivate me. Something about its woodland and shade loving tendencies, the spotted leaves, the flowers that change colour so charmingly, really piqued my interest and kindled imagination, and the name itself – Lungwort – really fascinated me at the beginning of my descent into the murky cauldron of herbalism. As is typical with many of the herbs with an old and venerable history behind them, Lungwort has many different folk names, including Jerusalem Cowslip, Soldiers and Sailors, Llysiau’r ysgyfaint, Spotted Dog, Maple Lungwort, Spotted Comfrey. Herb of Mary, Virgin Mary’s Mildrops and Bethlehem Sage.

A delightful shade loving perennial, Lungwort lives in shady sections of gardens, and sometimes naturalises to woodlands and well shaded hedgerows. The leaves are lanceolate, coming to a fairly sharp point, and also narrow fairly abruptly at the base, and are spotted with white or soft cream. The whole plant is a little on the bristly side, much like many members of the borage family. I’ve never found that it grows overly large in size, remaining small and compact. It contains many constituents in common with the rest of the family, including allantoin, flavonoids, mucilage, tannins, mineral salts such as silica and vitamin c, though apparently the dreaded pyrrolizidine alkaloids so common to this family are absent from this particular member.

Used internally, the herb is expectorant and emollient, excellent for hot, tight, congested chest complaints as it encourages production and removal of excess phlegm. Being drying, it can also be used to dry conditions such as bronchitis and laryngitis as well as diarrhoea. The allantoin content is probably responsible for its use topically in wound healing – I’d be interested to find out just how much allantoin this plant has in comparison to comfrey, just to make sure that it was safe to use on open wounds! Apparently Lungwort is particularly good for advanced cases of lung illness, where long inflammation has begun to break down the connective tissue that supports the lungs. (For more about this, read Matthew Wood’s excellent book ‘The Earthwise Herbal’ – it deserves a place on every herbalist’s bookshelf!) The silica, apparently present as silicic acid, restores elasticity to the lungs, while the antibiotic properties may well be partially responsible for its reputation as a wound and tuberculosis herb. Intriguingly enough, though we tend to use it predominantly for lung complaints over here, over in France it is traditionally used for the heart, especially for cases of palpitations and tachycardia. I’m going to have to do some more research on this one, as if this is true, it will be a useful addition to the range of remedies available for this sort of problem. Strangely enough, Mrs Grieve has little to nothing to say about the herb, a problem that I’ve found pretty much across the board where my books are concerned (a sign that I need to expand my library, perhaps?!)

The leaves are edible, and can be used in salads and as a pot herb, which it was used for extensively in the medieval era, to add bulk to soups and stews. I just love an all purpose plant! Better yet, the bees love it, and it is one of the earlier flowering spring plants. What’s not to like??

I tried a tea of the dried herb recently, being unable to obtain the fresh herb. I found it had a similar scent to that of the dried tea of Comfrey and Borage, however on drinking, I found it lacked the honeyish undertones that the aforementioned herbs both had. The flavour is slightly astringent, minerally and moistening. I found it ‘sat’ on my lungs more pronouncedly than borage or comfrey did, but more comfortably after a few minutes. It seems to have less mucilage than comfrey, which had a pronounced ring of it sitting in the cup and forming a layer on top of the tea. It certainly is much more drying, and for me at least, I noticed a much greater expectorant quality than that offered by comfrey. On first drinking, the tea descends noticeably to the chest and lungs, but this pressure lifts after a few moments to facilitate easier breathing. Unlike borage, the tea did not seem to linger around the eyes, but I did feel as though the top of my head and around my sinuses were more comfortable and less congested after drinking one cup of the tea. I don’t think this herb is anywhere near as cold as borage is, nor does it seem to give any heightened level of alertness after drinking, unlike the borage – and both myself and my colleague / lab rat agreed on this! It seems to facilitate introspection and quiet, but not sleepiness.

Overall – this little beauty deserves closer scrutiny, and I just may use this as my first subject for Goethian plant study in the hopes of learning a little more about this forgotten gem. It has also brought back to light the problem concerning a lack of information on many of the herbs that have fallen out of fashion in favour of using other plants, often brought in from overseas, but I am not going to get off topic here. I may have a bit of a rant about that in a later post, so watch this space if pithy and pointed comments are something that interest you! Suffice it to say that it is high time I added more of the older eclectic herbals to my bookshelf…

  1. Pithy and pointed comments are always welcome 🙂
    Intrigued by the effects you mention there too. If it affects the sinuses, do you think it could do anything for hayfever?

    According to one of those little “national holiday” notes on my calendar here, today is also the summer solstice. I read somewhere about certain plants supposedly having healing properties during this time.
    Can’t remember where though. I have a habit of picking up random bits of occasionally-useful information from everywhere, like a magpie seeking shiny things, hehe 🙂
    Could be just a myth, but I thought I’d mention it anyway in case it made an interesting topic or piece of inspiration for you 🙂

    Have a nice day there.

  2. I do agree, you’ll find a Goethian plant study enlightening. I did this as an experiment once under a beautiful Linden tree and was pleasantly surprised when the ‘communication’ flowed between us…I made a new friend that day!

    1. I did a very brief Goethian plant study of the Limeflower last summer, actually – it was wonderful, and very enlightening! I’m just not very good at sitting still for more than a few minutes at a time… :S definitely something to work on!

Video: Balata Youth Drama and Dance Group Tours the UK

Yafa Cultural Centre on tour in the United Kingdom. (YCC)

My train arrives in Exeter at 6.45 pm and I phone my friend. “Come soon! The show begins in 15 minutes.” I jump in a taxi and 10 minutes later arrive at the John Stocker School, where a friendly smile and handshake welcomes over 200 guests (three times more than they expected). My friend had already told me, “This show is impossible to see with dry eyes.” He is correct.

To download the video, click here [MPEG format, 9.4MB] — the 30 seconds video was made by Jeff Handmaker.

The first international tour of the Balata Youth Drama and Dance Group travelled to the United Kingdom in August 2005. The Group are a project of the Yafa Cultural Centre (YCC), which is based in Balata Refugee Camp in Nablus. This was Balata’s ‘A’edoon tour - “we will return”.

Member of the Group held in detention

The tour got off to a difficult start. One child in the Group, 16-year old Mohamed, was arrested by the Israeli Occupying Force on the 25th of July as the group crossed the border from Palestine into Jordan. One-month later, Mohamed continued to be held in administrative detention, being interrogated without charge and without access to a legal representative or his family.

YCC in Devon Leisure Park. (YCC)

Meditative Tale

The show is in three parts, a 40 minute drama, followed by a 15 minute music and song and then a 20 minute dance performance.

A’edoon is a highly visual theatre piece with few spoken words. The drama is a meditative tale. It tells the almost universal story of displacement, dispossession, oppression and finally dignity and hope.

An accompanying programme offers some helpful explanation, but this is hardly necessary for those familiar with the forced displacement of Palestinians. The performance of these children is electrifying.

The show traces the history of displacement, from the time when Palestinians lived peacefully in their villages, to attacks by Israeli soldiers causing them to flee their villages, difficulties living in a refugee camp with inadequate sanitation and the poor quality of schools, the subsequent Israeli occupation and then later the struggle against the occupation.

At one point in the performance, there is a haunting cry of grief, mourning the loss of family killed by Israeli occupation forces and of land dispossessed by soldiers for the exclusive benefit of Israeli families.

Another moving scene shows an elder, symbolically holding a giant key. Soldiers and others try to take the key away, even by trying to saw off his arms, but all efforts fail. The desire to return remains as strong as ever.

The strong visual images are accompanied by powerful, original music produced by Yafa Cultural Centre musicians, which weaves the traditional and the modern.

The theatre concludes with a message of dignity of resistance to military occupation. “Stop running and stand up for yourselves! - says the voice of Ahmed, declaring he is everywhere and in everybody, resisting (the occupation) and demanding their rights.”

Song and Dance

The theatre performance is followed by Palestinian songs, sung by the children, accompanied by YCC’s highly accomplished musical director who plays (amongst many other instruments) a traditional “Oud”.

Finally, there is a powerful dance performance by the youth performers, traditional dancing accompanied by Palestinian music.

Help from local solidarity groups

While YCC organised the programme and the tour, they were helped by large number of local activists in Northern Ireland (Derry and Belfast), Scotland (Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee), Wales (Swansea) and England (Exeter and London). Many of these were former anti-apartheid activists, well-experienced in organising solidarity activities.

One of these groups was Exeter Palestine Solidarity Campaign, which organised the venues for performances in Devon, local transport, places to sleep with fellow activists, packed lunches for the children and - important for these weary performers - entertainment for the children.

Being the first overseas tour for YCC theatre group, it proved without doubt a huge success for the young artists and their talented directors. In Exeter, people were visibly moved by the message and entertained by the professionalism of the Balata group.

YCC were also moved by the solidarity expressed by many activists throughout the United Kingdom - in Northern Ireland, in particular, which has seen its own long, resistance struggle against (British) occupation. Of these activists in particular, YCC’s director said: “The Irish were more ‘Palestinian’ than we were!”

I have a form. This form has an element. So element can have states:

  • normal,
  • ready to be deleted (prepared for deletion),
  • deleted.

I'm trying to find good one-word synonym for this intermediate state (some sort of "hammer cocked").

This intermediate state when you still able to decide are you going to delete it forever or cancel deletion.

For example, email almost deleted:

What do you think about state names like: valuation, evaluation?

  • 1
    What about "pending"? But you have to add/provide a context that it means "pending deletion".

    Would "Discarded" fit here? Apr 12 '16 at 4:53
  • 2
    In programming you often see Closing, Closed; Disposing, Disposed; Deleting, Deleted. So you could have Created, Deleting, Deleted.
    – CodeAngry
    Apr 12 '16 at 12:23
  • I would use discarded Apr 19 '18 at 21:44

If it's likely that any element that enters this state will eventually be deleted, you could use "condemned", by analogy with buildings scheduled for demolition and criminals slated for punishment.

If instead you want to emphasize the chance to remove this status, "probationary" carries the connotation of a risk of some more serious state, but an expectation of eventual restoration to normalcy.

Too bad you don't explain why this "element" would transition from the first state to the second state – that information might help. Since that isn't specified, however, I'm going to make an assumption: that the "element" goes into this middle state after some period of inactivity.

If that were the case, you could use:

  • Active
  • Inactive
  • Deleted

If instead the element goes into this state when, say, a balance goes to zero, you could use:

  • Funded
  • Depleted
  • Deleted

I think part of your problem stems from your choice of words for the first state: Normal. The opposite of normal is abnormal – but that's not a very good name for this state. (I suggest trying to find a more descriptive name for the first state, and seeing if that leads to a better name for the second state.)

As a footnote, if you don't mind using a little irreverent humor, you could try:

  • Normal
  • Purgatorial
  • Deleted

Collins defines that word as:

purgatorial (adj.) a place or condition of suffering or torment, esp one that is temporary
(Emphasis added)

I'm assuming this middle state is temporary; that the element's state will revert back to normal or to deleted within a relatively short time.

Wiktionary defines purgatorial as “Of, pertaining to, or resembling purgatory”, and purgatory is defined in one dictionary as:

purgatorial (n.) Any place or state of temporary suffering or oblivion.

By the way, this suggestion probably wouldn't be appropriate if the user would ever see the name of the state in a notification. However, if it was only used as a state name inside the software, it might work. (Presumably, the user would see Pending Deletion, or something like that.)

It's not an ideal candidate by any means, but you've given us a very tall order with: One-word synonym for “this is going to be deleted”. In the absence of such a word, please don't be offended by a stretch. Though "temporary oblivion" might never make it into your code, I still thought it was an interesting concept to explore.

  • I think, usecase is illustrated on the attached picture. I have list of some items. I made swipe to left and item goes to that "special" state.
    – zoonman
    Apr 12 '16 at 18:23
  • I really like "purgatorial".
    – zoonman
    Apr 12 '16 at 18:28

You could use an active participle to indicate that it is a transient state: deleting, recycling, Or say 'trashcan', indicating that it has been discarded but hasn't gone permanently yet.

You are wanting to mark items that are able to be deleted, but not yet actually deleted. The term deleteable will work. So normal, deleteable, deleted.

Of course, this term would not be appropriate for the end user, but OK to describe the internal code. For the end user you should just use a short phrase like "Will Be Deleted" or something implying an action in progress, such as "Deleting..."

I would use:

Permanently Deleted (sorry it is two words...)

This is similar to many OS and also email systems where "deleted" goes to the trash directory/folder, and "permanently deleted" meaning no longer accessible.

Can You Remove Embroidery?

Can You Remove Embroidery?

Embroidery adds beautiful embellishments to clothes; it can be hard to imagine a scenario where you would want it removed. But sometimes you may have to if the embroidery has been stitched into the wrong place on the fabric. Some embroidery can hinder sewing, such as on a seam. Or the embroidery may not have been done accurately, or you wish to update an embroidered logo to a new design.

Whatever the reason, fortunately, embroidery can be removed, it just takes a little time and patience. Here’s the lowdown on removing embroidery.

How to Remove Embroidery

There are two recommended methods for removing embroidery from a garment:

  • Use a Stitch Eraser

The best tool to remove embroidery is the stitch eraser, a handy tool that looks a bit like a hair clipper (which can also be used in a pinch). If you run an embroidery business, a stitch eraser is an excellent investment to remove mistakes quickly.

The stitch eraser has sharp blades that clips the thread in the stitches to remove embroidery, working in much the same way an electric razor does. You can find them online or from any fabric shop, and they are ideal for dealing with embroidery stitched on with embroidery machines, but not so much for hand-embroidery.

While the stitch eraser works to remove the embroidery without damaging the garment, it could scrape the fabric and cause it to become fuzzy, so it’s recommended that you use it on the back of the garment so that this fuzziness will not be visible.

If the garment has a stabiliser over the embroidery, tear this away first. Push the stitch eraser across the stitching so the blades dig into the threads and move it forward. Work your way around the embroidery until it is all removed. Once done, turn the garment back over and use tweezers or a seam ripper to remove any stray threads.

  • Use a Seam Ripper

For smaller bits of embroidery, using a seam ripper can be sufficient. Turn your embroidery over and work from the back, cutting the stitches with the seam ripper. Lift the seam ripper upwards at an angle to rip the threads, working a few centimetres at a time. Return to the front of the embroidery and pull the stitches out; you can use a darning needle to lift the thread away, or a pair of tweezers. If there is any resistance, turn the embroidery back over as you may not have cut a stitch all the way through.

What are the Results of Removing Embroidery?

Sometimes removing embroidery is not always worth it, and the garment is best remade if it is not up to scratch. Fabric can become damaged or could become deformed during the process. For example, stretch fabric is not recommended for embroidery removal, especially if you do not plan to re-embroider, as there will be visible holes.

If removed carefully, there is no reason why you cannot reuse the fabric. But if it doesn’t look brand-new, it can be a great idea to re-embroider over the top of it.

I’m not going to lie – the last few weeks have been filled with a lot of stress and anxiety for me. Between moving, starting a new job, the election, and everything in-between in the midst of a pandemic, my mental health has not been in a great place. I’m sure you can agree – 2020 has been a lot. Everything feels so uncertain, and for many of us it’s been really difficult to take care of ourself in all the ways we need.

Over the last few months, self-care has been a priority for me as a way to check in with myself and make sure that my mind and body are in a good place. Making time to take care of myself, my body, health and mental well-being is so important to not only to make myself feel better but to ensure that I am able to help others and perform my best. Over the years I’ve noticed that when I’m consistent with these rituals (journaling and moving my body especially), I tend to maintain a better head space. Though I definitely don’t do all of these things all the time, these are activities and rituals that I rely on to keep my mind and body in a healthy place.

Self care looks different for everyone, there is no wrong way to do it! These are just some of the thing I personally do to take care of myself, and hopefully they can give you some inspiration for when you’re not feeling your best.

Interested in learning more about the top 10 ways I like to care for my mental health? Keep scrolling!

1. Take a bath

If you’ve seen my House Hunters episode, you know I’m all about a bath. Moving into an apartment with a bathtub was a nonnegotiable for me because I love them that much. There’s something about starting a Sunday morning or ending a long week with a bath that is so relaxing and immediately puts my mind at ease. Listening to music or watching a fun show on Netflix while soaking in the tub is my ideal way to relax. Add a bath bomb or bubbles, a face mask, a cup of tea and let your mind and body unwind.

2. Yoga

My preferred method of physical exercise is strength training, but I love making space in my workout routine for yoga at least once a week. I’ve been relying on yoga a lot more in the last few months as a way to focus on being present when my mind is racing and stressing. Though I love connecting with people in person, there are some really great yoga YouTube channels that I’ve been using- Yoga with Adrianne is my fave!

3. Journal

I have been an avid journaler for the last few years, and it’s been an amazing tool in helping me to process and understand my thoughts and feelings. Like any habit, it can take a while to figure out when and how journaling can help you best. I personally started out with a 30 day journal prompt that I found on Pinterest, and made it a goal to write for at least 10 minutes every day. Now I write for about 10-15 minutes 5-6 days a week and cycle between writing what’s on my mind, ideas for the future, worries, frustrations, etc. I’ll also use gratitude or writing prompts that I find on Pinterest occasionally if I feel like it! Journaling looks different for everyone, start by setting a timer for yourself and see what comes out on the page!

4. Turn off your phone

If you’re like me, your screen time over the past few weeks has been through the roof. When there is so much going on in the world, it can feel like you need to keep up with everything all at once (I talk more about that here!). Being mindful about where you’re scrolling and for how long can help you stay present, focused, and often boost your mood. Try setting a timer or using the screen time app for iPhone. Once the time is up, put the phone down and try one of the activities on this list instead!

5. Bake something

I love baking; there is something so therapeutic about putting on some music, and getting creative in the kitchen. Engaging my hands and mind in something gentle that requires some focus like baking is one of the ways I love to destress. If I’ve made too much, I’ll often share with neighbours or send some treats to work with my boyfriend!

6. Read a book

Though I usually love reading non-fiction, when I’m stressed or overwhelmed I tend to reach towards fictional books that don’t require much thought or effort to read. I feel similarly towards shows with complicated plot lines – when my brain is already in overdrive, the last thing I want is to push it even further! Lately I’ve been making it a habit to read at least thirty minutes before bed. It tires out my eyes, puts me in a relaxed state, and helps me fall asleep easier – especially when I’m feeling stressed out.

7. Tidy your space

My space is often a physical manifestation of my mood. If the kitchen is a mess and clothes are in a pile, you can be sure that I’m not at my peak. To feel calm and in control, I need to have a tidy space. Taking ten minutes to tidy the apartment before I go to bed allows me to wake up in a clean environment and start the day on a positive note.

8. Meditation

If there’s anything on this list that I ‘struggle’ with, it’s meditation. I love the benefits, but it’s definitely something I’m working on making into a habit. Right now I  I do it about once a week, and I want to do more! Some benefits I personally have experienced: increased self and body awareness, stress reduction, focusing on the present, and gaining new perspective. I use the Headspace app, but there are tons of free resources online!

9. Cuddle with a pet

This one is pretty self-explanatory: is there anything better than cuddling with your pet? One of my favourite things to do when I’m feeling anxious or overwhelmed is to grab a cat and a cozy blanket and relax for a bit. There’s nothing like the love of a furry friend to make you feel right again!

10. Take a walk

This is probably the thing I do most consistently to take care of myself and my mental health. Especially for those of us working from home and not going out as often, walks are so important. When my body is feeling restless, or when my mind is feeling overwhelmed, I try my best to get outside and take a walk in the fresh air. Most days I’ll listen to a podcast, but if I feel like my mind has been overly stimulated, I won’t listen to anything and just enjoy the sounds around me. Taking time away to be outside it one of my favourite parts of the day, and is something that always helps me to reset and feel a bit better.

What have you been doing to take care of yourself during this time? Let me know in the comments below!

North Bloomfield

The California Gold Rush is one of the most well-recognized and renowned events of the state’s history, in addition to being largely responsible for the rise in population after the Spanish settlement along the coast. However, the image that immediately comes to mind is traditionally the placer mining and shaft mines of the Sacramento and Nevada County areas. The hydraulic mining that flourished in the hills of Nevada County is vastly overlooked, though many might recognize the rusted monitors that often decorate the lawns of buildings and museums. Indeed, these large water-driven operations left their mark on California, regardless of their lack of publicity.

One of the larger Hydraulic operations was the Malakoff Diggings just outside of the North Bloomfield township. Ironically, this town was also initially written off. In the spring of 1851, three placer miners staked their claim on Humbug Creek. Roger and Owen McCullough with Owen Marlow found the mother load panning the creek. But after a time, their supplies ran low. They sent one of the McClulloughs to Nevada City to restock their supplies, making him promise not to give away their location.

It was alcohol that did the three miners in. McCullough imbibed while in town and bragged about his fortune, though he didn’t mention where he obtained it. And so, nearly 100 hopefuls followed McCullough back to the claim. They were disappointed, however, when they didn’t strike it rich. Many left for Nevada, calling the site a “humbug,” hoping to take advantage of the strikes they heard tell of in Nevada. A few stayed behind and set up camp along the creek.

McKillican & Mobley General Store

Owen Marlow was one of the men who stayed. He sent word to his friend, William Carter in New Orleans. Carter set out for California six months later by way of the Isthmus of Panama. Upon his arrival at the town site, he began work on the Lafayette hotel, which he completed in 1855. But by that time, his was not the only establishment in the area. In 1856, a general store was up and running, as well as a saloon to service the 400 residents. The next year, they applied for a post office under the name, “Humbug.” That name was denied due to the fact that too many towns were “humbugs.” They tried, “Bloomfield,” but were forced to add “North” onto the name because of a Bloomfield in Sonoma.

Much like the rest of California, eventually, the gold on the surface began to disappear. Miners left, and the revenue for businesses declined. A sort of recession set in until businessmen from urban areas came together and purchased the miners’ claims. This was the beginning of the North Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company, or the “French Company.”

With the lack of surface gold, miners resorted to digging out the hillsides. However, three men by the names of Eli Miller, Anthony Cabot and Edward Matteson, put their heads together and discovered a much faster, more efficient way to get at the gold in the hills. They called it, “hydraulic mining.”

hydraulic6In the year 1852, Cabot engineered a hundred foot, six inch diameter hose from strips of saddle bag, which he attached to a three foot funnel of Miller’s making. They used the hose to bring water to their essentially dry claim. It was Matteson who suggested the addition of a three-foot nozzle with a inch and a half outlet be mounted on the discharge end of the hose. The momentum of water moving quickly downhill proved them with enough water pressure to begin washing away the hillside into a sluice, where they could sift through the gravel for gold. The year 1856 brought about the use of wrought iron pipes instead of hoses. They called the water cannons, “Hydraulic Monitors.” Matteson was credited for the invention because he was the one who made the invention public. Ten years later, French Company was incorporated.

The arrival of hydraulic mining is what grew Humbug from a little mining town to the fast growing, North Bloomfield. It is estimated that the, hydraulic mines in California produced $11 to $13 million a year in gold. But this great profit was not without its disadvantages. One of the greatest tragedies of this great era of gold mining was the ecological effect. These millions in gold were discovered because, “miners along the Feather, Yuba, Bear, and American rivers ripped up 1,295 million cubic yards of gravel – enough to cover Washington D.C. with a blanket of debris nineteen feet thick” (Hill, 118). By the year 1868, some of the riverbeds were higher than the town streets. The city of Marysville had to construct levees to prevent flooding which, of course, inevitably happened in 1875. Concurrently, the Malakoff mine in North Bloomfield had reached its peak of operation, employing seven hydraulic monitors.

The English (Rudyard) Dam

This was the age of great invention for the hydraulic mines, especially Malakoff. Not only were great profits being reaped because of the monitors, but it was also the site of the first long distance telephone line. The Ridge Telephone Company was organized nearby in North San Juan and owned by several hydraulic mines, including the French Company. They ran a line that was sixty miles long with twenty-two stations for the management of ditches and claims. About that same time, electric lights powered by a hydraulic generator were installed so that the mine could be operated twenty-four hours a day in two shifts from six am to six pm.

f2f3f5b75bac7db5b2e065fa7a38b2ebBut regardless of the great success, the farmers were angry, and a series of suits began to find their way to court during the 1880s. In 1881, mines along the Yuba and Feather rivers were ordered to shut down. In a desperate attempt to stay open, the mines offered to build debris dams in exchange for the dropping of the legal proceedings. The attempt, however, was a little too late. Already, a snowball was beginning to form. The year 1883 brought on the Woodruff v. North Bloomfield case with Judge Lorenzo Sawyer presiding. The hydraulic mining companies argued that they were in the area first. One of the farmers replied, “No one should use his property so as to damage another” (Hill, 124). And so, Judge Sawyer came to the conclusion that while hydraulic mining was in and of itself legal, the dumping of debris, was not. On January 7, 1884, it was declared that, “All tailings must stop.” The conclusion of the case became known as the Sawyer Decision.

Mining became difficult after this case. Some companies found ways to cooperate with the requirements, while others simply closed. For the French Company, it was a mixture of both. In 1886, they were found in contempt of the Sawyer decision and fined. This prompted them to install and elevator system to collect debris and retain it in a holding pond. However, this hampered production and decreased profits, though it did satisfy the Sawyer Decision.

The situation only became more difficult for the mine when the District Court declared it illegal to mine without a permit in 1896. Once again the Malakoff mine was in contempt and fined. These fines eventually became too much for the company and a depression was settling over the now dwindling town of North Bloomfield. The French Company was forced to close in the late 1890s because of debt.

12039038_10204737594186490_4920390647431185054_oAt the turn of the Century, the population of North Bloomfield was down to 730 people. Jobs were disappearing because of the closing of the mine. In the year, 1910, the North Bloomfield Gravel Mining Company was unincorporated. Some locals held onto the legacy and the dream of a fortune in gold and continued to “bootleg operate” the pit until around 1930. But due to the first and second world war drafts, the town was ever-shrinking. Eventually, the general store closed. Twenty-five years later, the state park was established.

Now, it is only the legacy of a gold dream that remains. The memories and stories of men who thought they found a better way to mine the ground for hidden riches. Maybe it was their ignorance in the pursuit of a dream – their ambition – that created the sad ending. But isn’t that the epitome of California? The promise of more and the choice to risk failure in a wild attempt to grasp at straws?

Love it!

I have been using another product for years and that has worked great, but since I added this turmeric treatment it has given my skin that extra exfoliating and brightening that it needed since it’s getting a little older. I love how I feel the warmth and glow start working immediately when I apply it!💗💗💗 Mahaol EMstore products!!🌺🌈😍

tumeric energizing treatment

Love this product! the heat is just right and makes your skin look amazing!

Another Excellent Treatment

I used the pro tip from an email that said to use the Tumeric Energizing first then top that with the Citrus kale c&e masque....omgoddess..its ridiculously effective on my 46 yr old skin. My face glows for days post treatment.

Love my turmeric treatment!

Works for my skin perfectly!! I use it twice a week

How To Use
Dispense 1 small scoop of powder (about 1 teaspoon) into the outer cap. Gradually stir in a few drops of water until whipped-mousse texture is achieved; recommended ratio is 4 parts powder to 3 parts water. Apply a thin layer to the entire face, extend to the neck and décolleté as desired. Let dry for 10 - 30 minutes. Rinse with tepid water, massaging gently to exfoliate. A hot tingling sensation lasting a few minutes is a natural response to this product. For milder stimulation, dilute with more water. Note that the product is water activated; the tingling sensation dissipates over time and will resume during rinse-off. Use of steam, hot towels or warmer water will intensify the heat.

Due to the impact of Fani there was country wide rain fall including the capital city after a continuous heat wave for two weeks that paralyzed the whole country. The temperature also came down slightly. But after Fani the whole country it appears is burning by the prickly sun stroke. The worst sufferers are those who are fasting during the month of Ramadan. The farmers also cannot work in the field due to such heat. So all are waiting when there will be raining.

The Meteorological department is giving some hope that there will be raining either on Sunday(May 12) or Monday (May 13). The Weather men said that It will rain or rain with thunder shower in the whole country. This may reduce the heat level.

On Friday (May 10) though there was heat in the capital city but some cloud peeped with increase of day time. There was wind blowing at a speed of 10-12 kilometers. Though this wind has been blowing for the last two days it could not reduce the temperature.

Weather expert Nazmul Haque told Barta24.com that there are ninety percent possibilities of rain fall around the whole country on Sunday night or Monday morning. This will give some respite to the people reducing the temperature.

He further informed that this rain may continue for five days. But after that the mercury will again go upward. As it is summer time the whole season will be under heat wave either mild or strong.

The mild and medium heat wave that is now running in Noakhali, Dinajpur region and also in Dhaka and Khulna divisions will continue.

On Friday the highest temperature was recorded in Rajshahi as 39.5 degree Celsius and the lowest recorded at Tetulia as 23.3 degree Celsius. In the capital it was highest 36.2 degree Celsius and the lowest 28.2 degree Celsius.

Military Review

Air parade in honor of Queen Elizabeth II's Queen's 90 anniversary

On June 11, 2016 in London, a traditional military parade was held in honor of the birthday of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, in which more than 1600 royal guardsmen, as well as horse guards, took part. Sailed across the Thames flotilla ships, and Royal Air Force planes flew over Buckingham Palace.

This year, on the occasion of the round date of the celebration lasted three days, as the Queen celebrates 90 anniversary. A series of anniversary events began on April 20, on the eve of the Queen's birthday. Queen Elizabeth was born on April 21, but traditionally the English monarch's birthday is celebrated twice. The first time is the birthday itself, and the second time is in June, when warm weather is established and public events can be held outdoors. The second celebration is the official birthday and is celebrated with a military parade.

June 11 - Queen in an open phaeton drawn by a pair of horses, took the parade of "carrying out the banners" (Trooping of colors). As always, thousands of people watched this, but this year the attention to this event was unprecedented. No less expected than the parade, was the traditional exit of the entire royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

Official events ended with a parade. The queen and her relatives greeted the crowd on the square, after which they watched the ceremonial flight of the aircraft of the Royal British Air Force (RAF).

In flight Hercules C4 and King Air T1

For piston fighters flew military transport Hercules C4 (C-130H) and twin-engine turboprop training and training King Air T1. C-130 airplanes of various modifications have already been used in the UK Air Force for 50 years.

Hercules C4 and A400M

Military transport aviation The UK was also represented by another Hercules C4 and A400M. Despite the fact that the S-130 itself is not a very small aircraft, but against the background of the Airbus A400M Atlas, it looked modest. A400M, which is a product of cooperation between aviation companies in Europe and the USA, has just begun to enter the arsenal of the Royal Air Force.

Next in the line of transport vehicles were C-17 Globemaster III and BAE 146. American-made C-17 is capable of transporting more than a hundred military personnel. Flight range with cargo weight 76 650 kg - 4 445 km. The British Air Force has eight C-17 transports.

American-made reconnaissance aircraft RC-135W based on Boeing-707 were replaced in the UK by Nimrod R1, which, for financial reasons, were abandoned in June of the year 2011. RC-135W has a wide range of capabilities for detecting and identifying radio frequency spectrum emissions and jamming. It can be radiation of radar and air defense guidance stations, as well as signals of radio relay lines and mobile phones. Today in the RAF and there are two aircraft RC-135W.

Sentinel R1, built on the basis of the Bombardier Global Express, is designed to monitor the battlefield using AFAR radar and optoelectronic systems, receiving and retransmitting data from the UAV. The aircraft may also be involved in the search for submarines. Currently in the UK there is 6 Sentinel R1.

For scouts and fighter-bombers "Tornado", accompanied by two Eurofighter Typhoon followed by air tanker Airbus Voyager.

Tanker Voyager and Typhoon fighters

Typhoon fighters at the moment in the RAF are the only aircraft designed to gain air supremacy and intercept. As of the beginning of the 2016, the British Air Force received 137 fighters, all ordered by the 232 aircraft.

Voyager is a military modification of the Airbus A330-200 passenger airliner. It was created as a universal dual-purpose aircraft - tanker and transport. The Royal Air Force tanker fleet consists of six such vehicles.

Hawk T1 aerobatic team Red Arrows

Completed aerial parade nine Hawk T1 aerobatic team Red Arrows. The Red Arrows group has been flying the Jet Hawk training since the end of 1979. In total, the Red Arrows pilots made 4700 performances in 56 countries around the world. The red lightweight Hoki are equipped with a forced engine and special smoke generators with which you can produce colored smoke of blue, red and white.

For a long time, Hawk Controller Family was leading in the market for training and combat training aircraft. Thanks to good flight data, this machine can carry weapons and be used as a light attack aircraft and fight subsonic aerial targets. In the near future, in the UK, early-firing trainings should be replaced by a new, modern Hawk T2 modification, which uses the Eurofighter Typhoon fighter's avionics.

      "The heir to his father is completely bald" ////

      The bald-bald prince, and in the army there were helicopter pilots,
      sea lifeguard.
      And the second red-haired prince (behind the back of the heir) fought, was a special forces soldier in Afghanistan.

      How are the children of Russian "tsars" fighting there?

        But how! On Gelendvagens, dangerous chases are avoided, such as "Mercedes is leaving the chase" (there is such a movie), in elite clubs they fight to death for the "fattest" females with their parents' wallets, on supercars along the Moscow Ring Road at extreme speeds they do not spare their belly and other road users , AIDS and gonorrhea are at risk every day. Spetsnaz, in short.
        You'd better ask them yourself. As a fellow tribesman, I think they will not refuse you information. And maybe they will offer to participate. There is an oversupply of your brother in ZAO "Krasny Zabor". And not the best representatives of your kind-tribe. Do not blame me.

The deputies also paid their attention to the implementation of national target programmes, policies to reduce poverty and ensure social security, public health care and hospital overloads, and food hygiene and safety.

At the session, they also talked about a socio-economic development plan for 2013, focusing on overall economic objectives and targets, the restructuring of the credit system, the settlement of bad debts and administrative procedure reforms.

Other issues of the plan, including investment in building new rural areas, salary increase roadmap, issuance of bonds for transport projects as well as State budget allocations were deliberated.
