Purchase Wholesale Tazers in Kerr OH
A tazer gun is essentially a portable electroshock gun that was established by a company called tazer international. Most individuals are surprised to find out that the name tazer is in fact an acronym that stands for “Thomas A. Swift’s Electric Rifle.” The tazer weapon was originally created in 1969 by an inventor called Jack Cover who named the electrical gun after the adventure character Tom Swift.
Exactly how do Stun Guns Function?
tazer weapons function by shooting tiny dart-like electrodes that are propelled by little gas costs (such as compressed nitrogen). The guns make use of a shaped pulse arc of electrical power that interrupts an individual’s nerve and muscle feature without needing steel prongs on the projectile to pass through the skin.
The pulse designs are created to reduce a topic even if they are using body shield.

Although cholera is endemic in Yemen, the last few years has seen infections spike to a scale not witnessed in living memory. Lake of maintenance of water infrastructure, plus aquifer depletion, are largely to blame.
With freshwater extremely scarce and sewage disposal systems in disrepair, more and more people like Adba, a vegetable farmer in her mid-60s, are using water of dubious quality, leading to infections.
“We watered our vegetables using wastewater and I got terribly sick. I couldn’t walk, I was barely moving. Now, the wastewater has been treated, so people don’t get cholera and die”, says Adba. Farmers are aware of the dangers of using this water, but with few other options available – and the need to grow food so great – many feel like they have no choice.
Seeing this problem, FAO and Japan partnered with the Water User’s Associations (WUA’s) to install small-scale wastewater treatment plants that can produce safe water for agricultural use. Water, food, health: the basics that everyone should have. Through this project, FAO and Japan are working to ensure that the Yemeni farmers who toil the soil every day and thousands who nourish their families with fresh vegetables from the markets, can do so cholera free.

Especially applied in mining and plastic machinery
Unit theoretical torque
Can be widely used in construction machinery, lifting transport equipment, heavy metallurgical machinery, petroleum coal mining machinery, ship deck machinery, machine tools, plastics, geological drilling equipment and other mechanical hydraulic transmission system.
NIM series hydraulic motors are based on years of experience in manufacturing hydraulic motors, absorbing the advantage of crankshaft and connecting rod hydraulic motors at home and abroad. Greatly improved the pressure level of the hydraulic motor. This series motor has good reliability, high efficiency, long life and low noise, wide speed range and other characteristics.
The principle is to transfer the force from the plunger to the rotating shaft, rather than the conventional motor, connected by rod, piston, gasket and thimble. By choosing high-quality materials and optimal design to reduce friction and leakage.
Another advantage is that the cylinder can only expand and contract linearly, so there is no lateral component to the force. Means that there is no elliptical wear on moving parts and no lateral force at the connection of the cylinder. A series of novel designs, it is significant to reduce and optimize the size, especially compared with the traditional hydraulic motor with the same displacement.

For some strange reason, my parents never christened my sister or me when we were babies. Christenings aren’t that popular any more – people simply hold a naming day. But back in the sixties, Christianity was still in, so it was the norm to have a baby Christened. My sister was Christened when she was eleven years old – mainly so she could be confirmed a few weeks later with all her sixth grade classmates. As it turned out, I was also Christened when I was eleven – not because my parents were trying to establish some whacky kind of tradition. It was more about convenience.
My cousin was being Christened – she was six months old at the time. I remember standing at the front door one night, farewelling my Aunty Kathy and my uncle Yuri. They were telling Dad about their plans to have Tashi Christened at the Wayside Chapel, by the Reverend Ted Knoffs, who’d Christened Tashi’s older brother three years previously. “We’ll get Pet done at the same time!” my dad declared! He and Mum would be Tashi’s God Parents, and Aunty Kathy and Yuri would be mine.
So there I was, nearly 12 years old, standing up the front of the Wayside Chapel, with the good Reverend Ted wiping holy water across my forehead. I felt a silly goose! But these things are a rite of passage, aren’t they? Where some people subsequently form a bond with their God Parents, I felt more of a connection to my fellow-Christenee, and new God sister, Tashi.
Years later, Tashi was eleven years old and allergic to wheat. Being the cake maker in our family, this was quite a challenge for me. I wracked my brains to think up a suitably delicious cake that was wheat free. What I invented was a meringue-based torte laced with nutella and whipped cream. It’s been more than a decade since then, and even on my most recent visit to see Tashi’s new baby, she was still raving about that cake. Last week I plumbed the depths of my memory and reproduced it for my new husband’s birthday. How funny that I’m now the one that’s gone wheat free!
And incidentally, it’s Tashi’s birthday today. Happy birthday Tashi!
8 egg whites
2 cups caster sugar
3 tsp white vinegar
200g hazelnut meal
250g dark cooking chocolate
1 cup caster sugar
3 whole eggs
200ml pure cream
500g jar of Nutella (or similar chocolate hazelnut spread)
1.2 litres thickened cream
Approx. 10 Ferrero Rocher
1. Preheat your oven to 150 degrees celcius – also known as a slow oven.
2. Divide the torte ingredients in half to make two separate batches – unless you have a double oven!
3. Cover two large pizza trays with aluminium foil. Place a dinner plate face down on each and mark a circle with the back of a knife.
4. Place egg whites in small bowl of electric mixer and beat until soft peaks for,
5. Gradually add the sugar and continue to mix on high speed until the sugar is well combined and dissolved.
6. Gently fold in the hazelnut meal and white vinegar. Ensure both are well combined with the meringue mix.
7. Divide the mixture equally between the two baking trays and spread to the boundary of the marked area, ensure the mixture is an even thickness all over.
8. Bake for 45 minutes or until the edges of the meringues are a light golden brown. Switch oven off and allow meringues to cool in over with door ajar. Do not remove until completely cold.
9. Repeat again so that you’ve created four separate meringue layers for the torte.
1. Break chocolate into small squares and place in large oven proof mixing bowl. Add sugar and microwave on high (600w) for four and a half minutes. Stir vigorously to combine sugar and chocolate until sugar has dissolved.
2. Crack eggs into a bowl and lightly beat with a fork. Add to chocolate mixture while it’s still hot. If it’s cooled slightly, reheat in microwave for 20 seconds – the heat of the chocolate is what cooks the eggs and this is very important to eliminate any eggie taste. Use a large balloon whisk to combine the egg and chocolate mixture if your mix has lumps.
3. Whip the pure cream until it forms firm peaks. Stir into chocolate mixture – it will melt, but don’t worry, it’s supposed to. Again, use your balloon whisk if lumps forms.
4. Place chocolate filling (aka chocolate mousse) in the fridge and allow to chill until the mixture is completely firm. This should take a minimum of two hours.
5. Whip the thickened cream, again until firm peaks form. You need this cream to hold it’s shape so don’t under whip it.
1. Place one of the meringue layers on a flat serving platter. Make sure you choose the one you really want as there’s no moving this torte once it’s assembled.
2. Spoon the Nutella into a piping bag with a 4mm round piping tube. Pipe Nutella over the meringue – you don’t need to completely cover it or be neat.
3. Spoon half the chocolate mousse filling onto the meringue and carefully spread evenly to the edges of the meringue. Place a second meringue layer over the chocolate mousse filling.
4. Pipe more Nutella over the second layer of meringue. Spoon one third of the whipped cream over the Nutella and again, spread carefully to the edges of the meringue.
5. Place the third meringue layer over the whipped cream layer and repeat steps 11 and 12. Place the fourth and final meringue layer over the chocolate mousse layer. This will be the top of your torte.
6. Spoon half of the remaining whipped thickened cream onto the top of the torte. Spread carefully to the edges with a large spatula, smoothing the top decoratively.
7. Pipe the remaining Nutella across the top of the whipped cream in a decorative zig-zag pattern.
8. Spoon the remaining whipped thickened cream into a fresh piping bag fitted with a 8mm round piping nozzle. Pipe swirls of cream around the edges of the torte – approximately 1 inches wide. Place a Ferrero Rocher on every second swirl – you should get about nine onto the cake, depending on how you’ve spaced your swirls.
9. Refrigerate for at least an hour to let the whole thing settle and set. Serve with fresh raspberries – or with nothing. This one’s good enough to eat on it’s own!

Actuated plant materials are a source of inspiration for the design of adaptive materials and structures that are responsive to specific external stimuli. Hydro-responsive, metabolism-independent plant movements are particularly fascinating, because the extracted concepts are more amenable to transfer into engineering than those dependent on cellular activity. Here we investigate the structural and compositional basis of a sophisticated plant movement mechanism—the hydration-dependent unfolding of ice plant seed capsules. This reversible origami-like folding pattern proceeds via a cooperative flexing-and-packing mechanism actuated by a swellable cellulose layer filling specialized plant cells. Swelling is translated into a bidirectional organ movement through simple geometric constraints embedded in the hierarchical architecture of the ice plant valves. Extracted principles from this reliable and reversible actuated movement have relevance to the emerging field of 'programmable matter' with applications as far-reaching as the design of satellites and artificial muscles.
Water is the medium of life; nevertheless, certain organisms have evolved impressive adaptations not only to survive, but also to prosper in environments with scarce water resources. The Aizoaceae, with many species commonly known as ice plants, have demonstrated exemplary evolutionary radiation in arid and semi-arid habitats1. Central to their success is a distinctive seed dispersal mechanism in which protective valves on their seed capsules mechanically open only when sufficiently hydrated with liquid water (Fig. 1a,b,c), thus increasing the likelihood that seeds will be dispersed under conditions favourable to germination2. This complex and directed movement is especially fascinating because the seed capsules at this point are non-living. This differs from traditional osmotically driven plant movements, exemplified by Venus fly traps3,4 or plant stomata5, and resembles more the passive movements of wheat awns6 or pine cones7. In these latter two cases, a bending movement during drying and rewetting is achieved by a bilayered structure in which opposing tissues possess different cellulose fibril orientations in their cell walls. This results in varying amounts of axial deformation of the cell wall in each tissue type on shrinking or swelling of the matrix polymers, as the composite deforms not along but perpendicular to the cellulose fibril orientation. However, using this kind of structural organization, only relatively simple bending movements can be achieved. The unfolding of the ice plants is also hydration dependent; but, as will be demonstrated, the sophisticated hierarchical structuring of the seed capsules allows for a more complex origami-like unfolding movement that incorporates an effective flexing-and-packing mechanism.
Here we utilize a multidisciplinary approach at various hierarchical levels to investigate the unfolding mechanism of the desert ice plant seed capsule from the species Delosperma nakurense (Engl.) Herre. Our results indicate that the actuation of the seed capsule valve is mediated by a swellable cellulose layer in specialized cells and translated into a sophisticated bidirectional unfolding movement by the geometry of the cells and their hierarchical arrangement.
Morphological characterization of seed capsules
Figure 1 summarizes the hierarchical structure of the seed capsule from D. nakurense in the dry and hydrated state and provides a schematic representation of the three-dimensional structure at each level. The axes in the schematics are defined relative to the position and orientation of the keel and its cells. In the dry state, five protective valves cover the seed compartments, preventing premature dispersion of seeds (Fig. 1a). When hydrated with liquid water, each valve unfolds outwards and backwards over an angle of ∼150° within minutes (Fig. 1a–c; Supplementary Movie 1). Seed compartments are partitioned by five septa, which lie beneath the centre of each valve in the closed dry state. The schematic in Figure 1b is a 3D illustration of the whole capsule in which each valve is depicted at a different stage of opening, to provide a more intuitive representation of the subsequent steps involved in the unfolding process. The hygroscopic keel, a prominent tissue attached along the centre of the inner valve surface can clearly be seen in Figure 1c and was previously suggested to actuate this water-dependent movement8,9. The reversible water-actuated flexing movement of the keel can still be observed even when it is dissected from the backing (Fig. 1d–f; Supplementary Movies 2 and 3). The schematic in Figure 1e further illustrates the progression of this movement, which occurs over a time scale of a couple of minutes.
The keel consists of two separated halves with single cells of different lengths running from the top to the bottom of the keel (the longitudinal axis of the cell is assigned as the Z-direction) (Fig. 1e,g,h). The two halves of the keel are separated in the dry state, but come into contact by swelling when hydrated, creating a bridge-like structure with an empty space between the upper portion of the keel and valve backing (Fig. 1g,h). Additionally, changes in the hydration state appear to result in a curvature of the valve backing in the dry state and straightening in the wet state (Supplementary Movie 4).
Transverse sections of keels reveal a lattice structure with hexagonal/elliptical shaped cells in the wet state. When dried, the elliptical shaped cells are collapsed preferentially in the shorter axis of the transverse cell cross-section, which we assign as the Y-direction (Fig. 1i–k). Consequently, the longer axis of the transverse cell cross-section is assigned the X-direction. The orientation of the cells within the larger keel structure, as well as the hydration-dependent changes in shape, is depicted in the schematic in Figure 1j.
The stepwise changes in the keel during drying were examined in more detail using image correlation to track the progressive movements (Fig. 2). From the plot in Figure 2d, it is apparent that the tip of the keel (point A) is translated about the base (point E) through a large angle. Additionally, there is a point of maximum bending in the keel in the dry state, located between points C and D in Figure 2c, that we define as the 'hinge' of the flexing movement. It is also clear from the insets in Figure 2a,c (cut made through the keel between points D and E) that the gap between the two keel halves in the dry state allows them to fit tightly around the septum as they close, without being obstructed. Because the valves are closed during development, the gap between the keels in the dry state represents the initial conformation and seems to be a prerequisite for a tight packing of the valve.
Morphology and composition of hygroscopic keel cells
The large and directed change in the Y-direction of keel cells upon hydration indicates that the flexing movement of the keel originates at the cell and cell wall level. In fact, cells show a highly anisotropic deformation with a fourfold increase in length along the Y-direction (short cross-sectional cell axis) whereas the X-direction (long cross-sectional cell axis) length shows only minor changes (Table 1). This is accompanied by a nearly fourfold enlargement of the cross-sectional area and a modest increase in the perimeter (Table 1). Additionally, it was observed that the cell length in the Y-direction of the expanded wet state was 20% lower in keel cells attached to the backing (Fig. 1e,g,h) than in those near the ridge of the keel (T-test P<0.005). This asymmetrical deformation facilitates the bending of the keel during cell swelling.
Cell wall organization and composition were investigated by staining with a fuchsin-chrysoidin-astra blue mixture (FCA), which revealed lignified cell walls (red staining) and a non-lignified cellulose structure filling the lumina (bright blue staining) (Fig. 3a). Further characterization with confocal Raman spectroscopy (Fig. 3b–e) corroborated these observations. The main Raman peaks for cellulose appear in both the cell wall and the inner layer, whereas the lignin peak appears only in the cell wall and between cells (Fig. 3b–d). Whereas the inner layer, which we will hereby refer to as the cellulosic inner layer (CIL), may contain additional biomacromolecules such as pectin or hemicelluloses in smaller amounts10,11, it is most important for this study that the CIL can apparently absorb large amounts of water (Fig. 3e). Additionally, the CIL appears to be organized as thin lamellae running parallel to the X-direction (Fig. 3c). Consecutive laser scanning confocal microscopy images of drying keel cells in which the cell wall and CIL are differentially stained reveal that, during cell collapse, the CIL retracts towards and remains attached to the surrounding cell wall (Fig. 3f–h; Supplementary Movie 5), suggesting the CIL may have an active role in the reversible actuated cell deformation.
Mechanics of hygroscopic keel cell swelling
Following enzymatic removal of the CIL, cells largely lose the ability to close during drying (Fig. 3i and Table 2). In addition, removal of the CIL in the wet state results in a cell-shape relaxation in which the Y-length decreases and the X-length increases (Fig. 3i and Table 2). These observations suggest that the CIL has a role in both closing and opening of the cells. Specifically, the hydrated CIL may generate outward stresses on the cell wall through an internal pressure during swelling, thus facilitating the cell opening. For this particular mechanism to function, it would be necessary for the cells to deform more easily in the Y- than X-direction. In fact, calculations of elastic deformability based purely on geometrical considerations support this assumption. If we consider keel cells as an ideal cellular solid with a hexagonal shape as depicted in Figure 3i, the ratio of stiffness in the X- and Y-direction can be calculated according to equation (1) derived from Gibson & Ashby12.
Based on the anatomical cell parameters measured in the dry keel (Fig. 3i and Table 1) and under the simplifying assumption of isotropic cell wall material, the keel tissue would be ∼5,500 times stiffer in the X-direction than in the Y-direction. When the cells are in the wet open state, this factor decreases to a value of only ∼30. This mechanical and geometrical anisotropy is consistent with a CIL-driven mechanism of keel cell opening. Additionally, the apparent lamellar structure of the CIL may lead to an anisotropic swelling which would further facilitate the deformation in the Y-direction; however, based on our calculations, this is not necessarily required.
Characterization of valve curvature
In addition to the flexing deformation of the valve described above, we also observe a change in the curvature of the valve backing in the XZ-plane, which may be important for the opening mechanism (Fig. 4). In the dry state, the backing shows a concave-curved morphology, which appears to be related to the gap formed between the two keel halves and thus important for tight valve packing (Figs 2c and 4). The curvature exists from the tip of the valve down to the hinge, with a graded reduction in the degree of curvature as one approaches the hinge. Figure 4a,b depicts the curvature in the wet and dry state of the keel backing at the hinge (cut between points C and D as defined in Fig. 2c). On wetting, the valve backing straightens and the tips of the keel halves move towards each other (Fig. 4a–d; Supplementary Movie 4). When keels have been dissected away from the backing, this change in curvature of the valve is not observed (Supplementary Movie 6), suggesting that the large deformation of the keel in the Y-direction may not only actuate the flexing movement, but may also additionally influence the valve curvature. This effect can be simulated by simple finite element modelling of contractile elements (keels) on top of a shell (backing) (Fig. 4e,f). Contraction of the model 'keels' in the Y-direction results in the development of elastic stresses in the shell which are released via a curvature of the shell in the XZ-plane in the expected direction. The magnitude of the curvature varies with shape, thickness and elastic properties of the backing and the keel. Comparable deformation mechanisms have been identified in other shell-like materials such as leaves where stress gradients arising from differences in growth rates within the leaf plane can be relieved by out-of-plane bending13,14.
The adaptive behaviour of ice plants (Aizoaceae) has been shaped by life in arid and semi-arid environments. Due to the scarcity of water, specific adaptations by the organisms are required that ensure survival and reproduction. A distinct feature of the Aizoaceae is the water-actuated opening of seed capsules for seed dispersal. We have observed that the actuated folding and unfolding of the protective valves in ice plant seed capsules consists of two discrete but coordinated movements, which we assign as flexing and packing, respectively.
Morphological and compositional characterization of the hygroscopic keel revealed the presence of a layer of primarily cellulose (CIL) within the ellipsoid cells, which is capable of absorbing large amounts of water. A similar swellable cellulosic layer termed the 'gelatinous layer' has previously been identified as the active element of stress generation in tension wood fibres of hardwood trees15,16,17,18, contractile roots19,20 and tendrils21. It has been recently proposed to induce plant organ movement by exerting an inner pressure on the surrounding cell wall22. The keels of ice plant seed capsules apparently utilize a related principle; however, in this case, the structural optimization is not mediating longitudinal contraction of cells, but, instead, establishing a specific anisotropy in the transverse deformability of the cells. This specific deformation at the cell level is translated into the flexing movement of the keel, which requires a large deformation in the Y-direction (see Fig. 1).
The second movement contributing to the actuated unfolding mechanism in ice plant seed capsules is the hydration-dependent change in curvature observed in the valve backing. There seems to be a clear link between the curvature of the backing and the gap formed between the two keel halves. In the initial state of the dried capsule before it is opened by hydration, the five septa dividing the seed compartments fit tightly in the gap between the keel halves for each of the five valves (Fig. 2c). This implies that the curved backing and the proper packing are closely interrelated in the dry state. However, the curvature of the backing may hinder the unfolding of the valve during wetting. This geometrical constraint is demonstrated through a simple paper-folding experiment (Fig. 5a–d; Supplementary Movie 7). Curving the top half of a folded sheet of paper stabilizes the 'closed' structure, while straightening releases the folded structure. The efficacy of this mechanism depends on the presence of curvature at the hinge. Transferring this observation to the ice plant capsule implies that a swellable tissue could more easily move the top half about the hinge in an uncurved state because the required force is reduced, analogous to a conceptualized mechanism of the keel as a flexing muscle (Fig. 5e). Therefore, we propose that to unfold a valve for seed dispersal, the backing needs to switch from a curved to a plane status. The finite element model (Fig. 4e,f) and the paper model (Fig. 5a–d) differ in whether or not they allow for stretching deformation of the backing materials, and therefore represent two extreme cases of how the curving deformation may proceed. It is likely that the actual capsule behaviour lies somewhere between these extremes; however, both models provide important reference points for assessing this behaviour.
Seed capsules of ice plants exhibit a complex hydroactive movement, which is mediated by the hygroscopic keel and achieved via a sophisticated interplay between the cell walls and the CIL generating a carefully choreographed unfolding/folding of the whole seed capsule. Two cooperative bidirectional movements have been identified both of which are dependent on the large anisotropic deformation of the keel cells; a flexing of the valve during folding and unfolding, and an out-of-plane curving of the valve backing which facilitates tight packing in the closed state and additionally, may reduce the force for unfolding in the wet, uncurved state. The highly synergistic interplay of both mechanisms under natural conditions becomes obvious when drying is accelerated by applying a vacuum. Under these artificial conditions, open capsules do not close, but get stuck open in the dry state after partially closing. Presumably, a concerted drying sequence of the highly hygroscopic CIL and the less hygroscopic lignified cell walls is crucial to avoid a temporal mismatch of the bidirectional movements.
Whereas we can only speculate about the evolutionary function of the water-actuated change in valve curvature, the observed behaviour can provide inspiration for the packing and locking design of novel actuated structures. The cooperative reversible flexing-and-packing of the ice plant capsule resembles self-organized 'action' Origami (for example, the Miura-ori fold that has inspired folding patterns for satellites)23,24 and may assist recent efforts by researchers to create programmable matter which can achieve a specific folded conformation following a stimulus25,26.
Ripe capsules were collected from D. nakurense plants grown at the Botanical Garden of the Technische Universität Dresden, accession nr. 009255-21, and kept dry for storage. Keels were carefully dissected away from the valve backing in the wet state with tweezers and scalpel. For some experiments, pieces of keel tissue were embedded in polyethylene glycol (MW=2,000) and sections ranging in thickness from 10–30 μm were cut with a Leica RM2255 rotation microtome. Sections were washed in distilled water to dissolve and remove the PEG and were used for light microscopy, confocal microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Further staining with a solution of FCA was used for contrast and compositional analysis. Additionally, staining with 0.1% aqueous safranine was used for confocal microscopy samples27. In both cases, samples were immersed in the staining solution for 5–10 min and then washed three times in distilled water.
Cell dimension measurements
To quantify changes in the cell shape during wetting and drying cycles, it was necessary to use light microscopy for wet measurements and scanning electron microscopy for dry measurements. Both wet and dry measurements were made from the same region of a single piece of keel. Measurements were made using ImageJ v1.43 l and a computer drawing tablet to determine the length of cells along the X- and Y-directions, as well as their perimeter, and area.
Thin sections of keel tissue were fixed under a glass coverslide in distilled water or D2O. Raman spectra were collected with a confocal Raman microscope (alpha300; WITec) equipped with a piezoelectric scan stage (P-500, Physik Instrumente) and a Nikon objective (100x oil immersed, NA=1.25)28. A laser of λ=532 nm was focused onto the sample and Raman scattering was detected with a CCD camera (DV401-BV; Andor) behind a spectrometer (UHTS 300; WITec) with a spectral resolution of 3 cm−1. Samples were mapped in 0.33 μm steps using an integration time of 0.5 s. Data were analysed and images were produced using ScanCtrlSpectroscopyPlus software (WITec).
Laser scanning confocal microscopic imaging was performed with Zeiss LSM 510 scanning system (Zeiss MicroImaging GmbH) equipped with ×40 objective (NA=1.25) on small pieces of the keel using natural lignin fluorescence for contrast to observe cell shape29 and using fluorescence from safranine staining for contrast between the cell wall and CIL27. For safranine-stained samples, 10 μm of tissue was microtomed away from the top of cells to allow safranine to infiltrate the cell. For all samples, the laser excitation wavelength was 488 nm. Emissions were collected with the filter set to 530–600 nm for lignin autofluorescence and with two channels set to 515–545 nm and 590–700 nm for safranine stained samples.
To investigate the role of the CIL in keel actuation, it was removed by enzymatic treatment as described previously22. Briefly, FCA-stained sections of keel (30 μm) were treated with Cellulase ONOZUKA RS from Trichoderma viride (EC 184.108.40.206) (2.3 enzyme units per mg) (Yakult Pharmaceutical Industry.) Samples were placed in Eppendorf tubes filled with a 1 ml of solution of 100 mg ml−1 enzyme in ammonium formate buffer (pH 5) and were placed in shaking water bath (40 °C, 60 r.p.m.) for 10 h. As a control, two samples were prepared and stained the same way but were treated only in 1 M ammonium formate (pH 5). The swelling behaviour of the cells was measured as described above.
Finite element modelling
A simplified finite element model of the keel-backing system was made using Abaqus 6.9 (http://www.simulia.com). Dimensions were chosen to be similar to the measured dimensions (Fig. 4e). Uniform isotropic linear elasticity was assumed with the same elastic coefficients for both the keel and the backing. The elastic coefficients were assumed to remain constant during swelling. The model was discretized using 7,900 hexahedral 8-node linear stress-displacement elements (C3D8). Mesh-size independence of the results was confirmed by running simulations with finer mesh (33,445 elements). A contractile longitudinal eigenstrain of 50% was simulated in the keel by applying a temperature change of 1 to 0 assuming only the keel has a thermal expansion coefficient of 0.5 in the longitudinal direction. No contraction was assumed in the transverse direction. As the elastic coefficients were chosen to be the same for both the keel and backing, the calculated deformation should be independent of the modulus. This was confirmed by performing simulations with elastic moduli ranging from 0.1 to 10 GPa with a Poisson's ratio of 0.3.

Price Daniel brought an impressive resume to the governorship. He earned a law degree from Baylor University and became a well-known defense attorney in Liberty. Elected to the Texas House of Representatives in 1939, he was an outspoken member of the "Immortal 56," a group of legislators opposed to a state sales tax. He was elected speaker of the House in 1943. Shortly thereafter, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he served as a judge advocate general (JAG) in the Pacific.
Daniel was discharged from the Army in 1946 and conducted a whirlwind campaign that same year to become the youngest attorney general in Texas history. Daniel was highly successful in the job, handling more than 5000 lawsuits, writing 2000 bills for the Texas Legislature, and successfully defending more land and money claims for the state than any previous attorney general. His most famous cases were his defense of the state's refusal to admit Heman Sweatt, a black student, to the University of Texas law school; his crusade against organized gambling; and the defense of Texas' claims to the Tidelands. With Allan Shivers, Daniel broke with the national Democratic party over the Tidelands issue, and in 1952 he was elected to the U.S. Senate as a "Texas Democrat." His first order of business was to draft the Tidelands bill that was signed into law by President Eisenhower in 1953. In the Senate, Daniel was best known for a nationwide narcotics probe that resulted in much stricter regulation drug laws, and for his near success in passing legislation to reform the electoral college.
Declaring that he would "rather be Governor of Texas than President of the United States," Daniel resigned from the Senate and was elected governor in 1956. He served three terms, during which he was able to pass major initiatives on highways, prison reform, water conservation, higher teachers' salaries, and improved care for the mentally impaired.

Finding Inspiration in the City
Urban photography is about capturing city life's essence. It's about finding beauty in the chaos and capturing it through your lens. To become a great urban photographer, you need to find inspiration in the city. Here’s a quick guide to urban photography:
A. Exploring Your Local Neighborhood
Start by exploring your local neighborhood. You don't have to travel far to find interesting subjects for your photos. Take a walk around your block and see what catches your eye. Look for unique architecture, street art, and interesting people.
B. Seeking out Iconic Landmarks
If you want to capture the essence of a city, you need to seek out its iconic landmarks. These could be famous buildings, bridges, or monuments that define the city's skyline. Look for angles and perspectives that showcase these landmarks in a new and interesting way.

Mastering the Art of Urban Photography
Urban photography is an art that requires skill, creativity, and the right equipment. It's not just about capturing a moment in time; it's about telling a story through your lens. In this section, we'll explore the essential elements of mastering urban photography.
A. Choosing the Right Equipment
Choosing the right equipment is crucial for any urban photographer. You need a camera that can handle low light situations and capture vibrant colors. A wide-angle lens is also essential to capture the grandeur of cityscapes.
When it comes to cameras, there are many options available, from DSLRs to mirrorless cameras. However, if you're just starting out in urban photography 101, you don't need to break the bank on expensive gear. A decent point-and-shoot camera or even your smartphone can do the job.
B. Perfecting Your Technique
Photography is all about technique, and urban photography is no exception. To perfect your technique, you need to practice regularly and experiment with different angles and compositions.
One of the best ways to improve your technique is by studying other urban photographers' work and learning from their styles and techniques.
C. Using Light and Shadow to Your Advantage
Lighting plays a crucial role in any form of photography, but it's especially important in urban photography. The contrast between light and shadow can create dramatic effects that add depth and dimension to your images.
When shooting in low light situations or at night, try using longer exposure times or a tripod to stabilize your camera.
D. Developing Your Own Style
Developing your own style takes time but is essential for standing out as an urban photographer. Experiment with different editing techniques or try shooting from unique angles or perspectives.
One way to develop your style is by focusing on a particular theme or subject matter within urban photography—such as street art or architecture—and exploring it in-depth.
Remember, great urban photography isn't just about capturing a city's colors; it's about telling a story through your lens.
Urban Photography Tips for Success
Urban photography is a unique art form that requires a keen eye and an adventurous spirit. As an urban photographer, you need to capture the essence of the city while also staying safe and maximizing your time. Here are some tips to help you succeed in urban photography:
A. Maximize Your Time
- Plan ahead. In the city, time is of the essence. You need to move quickly and efficiently to capture the perfect shot. Always plan ahead before you head out. Do some research on the best locations for urban photography in your area. Make a list of these locations and plan your route accordingly.
- Use technology. Another way to save time is by using technology to your advantage. There are plenty of apps that can help you find great photo spots, track the weather, and even connect with other urban photographers in your area.
- Utilize social media. Everyone is on social media and you have to leverage it to your advantage. Instagram, for example, can be a powerful tool for discovering new photo locations and connecting with other photographers in your area. By following relevant hashtags and accounts, you can stay up-to-date on the latest trends and hotspots.
B. Stay Safe in the City
Urban photography can be dangerous if you're not careful. Always be aware of your surroundings and avoid taking unnecessary risks. If you're going into an unfamiliar area, make sure you have a friend or colleague with you all the time.
One way to stay safe while taking photos in the city is to blend in with the crowd. Avoid wearing flashy clothing or expensive jewelry that could attract unwanted attention. It's always better to be inconspicuous than to stand out and become a target for thieves or other unsavory characters.
It's also important to protect yourself and your equipment from theft or damage. Invest in a good camera bag that can keep your gear safe while on-the-go.
C. Build Your Portfolio
As an urban photographer, it's important to have a strong portfolio that showcases your best work. Take the time to curate your photos and choose only the best ones for your portfolio.
Once you've selected the best photos for your portfolio, it's important to organize them in a cohesive and visually appealing way. Consider the layout and design of your portfolio, and make sure it accurately represents your style and brand as a photographer.
You should also consider creating a website or social media page where you can showcase your work online. This will make it easier for potential clients or collaborators to find you.
D. Networking for Opportunities
Networking is key in any industry, including urban photography. Here's a few things you can do to network:
- Attend local events and meetups where other photographers gather.
- Join online forums or groups dedicated to urban photography.
- Don't be afraid to reach out to other photographers for advice or collaboration opportunities.
Networking is not just about meeting other photographers, it's also about building relationships with potential clients and industry professionals. Attend local events and meetups that are relevant to your niche and introduce yourself to people who can help you grow your business. Don't be afraid to exchange business cards or contact information because these connections could lead to future opportunities.
E. Tricks of the Trade
To take your urban photography to the next level, try experimenting with different techniques and tricks. For example, using a slow shutter speed can create a unique blur effect in your photos, while shooting from different angles can add depth and dimension.
Another trick is to use props or people in your shots to add interest and tell a story. Don't be afraid to get creative and think outside the box when it comes to urban photography.
Urban photography is a rewarding and exciting art form that requires skill, patience, and creativity. By following these tips and tricks, you'll be well on your way to creating great urban photography that captures the essence of the city.

Tuesday dismissed the bail plea filed by the school student accused in the 2017 Gurugram private school murder case.
The petitioner, who was a student of Class 11, has been charged with the murder of a seven-year-old child inside the school washroom (Master Bholu v. State of Haryana and Anr.)
The Principal Magistrate, Juvenile Justice Board, Gurugram had earlier declined the grant of bail to the accused. Thereafter, the Appellate Court/Additional Sessions Judge, Gurugram also dismissed the appeal moved challenging the Board’s decision.
The High Court has now dismissed the revision plea challenging these orders. The revision plea was moved on the ground that these orders denying bail were passed while touching upon the merits of the case.
On Wednesday, Justice Arvind Singh Sangwan passed the order, while noting that the accused school student had to be treated as an adult, in line with Supreme Court orders passed on the issue.
The Supreme Court had, in its orders passed in February 2019 and in April this year, stated that the accused was to be “treated as an adult”for the purpose of deciding on bail.
The High Court, therefore, stated there was little scope for it to ascertain whether bail could be granted under Section 12 (grant of bail to a juvenile-accused) of the Juvenile Justice Act.
“Though it is well settled principle of law that an application for bail filed by a person who is above 16 years of age and is alleged to have committed a heinous crime …, pending preliminary assessment by the [Juvenile Justice] Board, can be allowed however, this Court is not inclined to grant any relief to the petitioner, in view of the order dated 28.02.2019 passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, directing that for deciding the bail application, the petitioner be treated as an ‘Adult’, therefore, there is little scope for this Court to find out whether the petitioner can be granted the relief under Section 12 of the Act.“
The High Court, in dismissing the plea of the accused for bail, relied upon detailed orders that had been passed by the Supreme Court and the Juvenile Justice Board that is overseeing the investigation in the case.
Senior Advocate Rupinder Khosla appearing for the petitioner “Bholu” (the name the accused has been assigned with by the Supreme Court to conceal identity) argued that the petitioner was living in difficult circumstances in the children’s home he was detained in. It was submitted that he was suffering from ill-health. Grievance over the delay in commencing proceedings against the accused on account of pending appeals was also raised.
The High Court, however, quoted two medical reports in countering the claims of the petitioner’s ill-health. It further clarified that the delay in commencing with the trial could not be a ground for bail.”The delay in disposal of the trial on account of the pendency of bail/revision/SLP before the Higher Courts, wherein status quo has been ordered … cannot be taken as a ground to grant the concession of bail to the petitioner.”Justice Sangwan
Furthermore, the Court noted,
“The prosecution has cited certain witnesses, who are minors including the sister of the deceased and therefore, possibility of tampering the evidence, cannot be ruled out, at this stage in view of the totality of circumstances and the affidavit filed by the CBI.”
In this backdrop, the Court concluded that there was “no ground to grant the concession of bail” to the accused and dismissed the revision plea.

SEATTLE, Wash. – On the eve of renowned evangelist Billy Graham's 95th birthday and his ambitious outreach event, "My Hope America," a 30-minute taped Gospel message by Graham to be broadcast nationally Thursday, several Christian leaders, including Pastors Rick Warren, Mark Driscoll, and James MacDonald, and "The Bible" TV series producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett, gave their thoughts on the legendary preacher to The Christian Post.
"Every time I read an article or hear a report when somebody says, 'So-and-so is the next Billy Graham,' I just chuckle. There is no next Billy Graham," Driscoll, who is the lead pastor at Mars Hill Church in Seattle, told CP Tuesday during a break while hosting the Resurgence conference for Christian leaders.
When Graham was a younger man he took a lot of criticism about what he was trying to do evangelistically, said Driscoll, who is no stranger to controversy. However, Graham persevered and became a preacher with lasting, perhaps unparalleled influence. more >>
SEATTLE – Pastor Mark Driscoll set the tone early during a meeting of Christian leaders strategizing for a faith-driven resurgence on the first day of a two-day conference at Mars Hill Downtown Church by walking out on the stage and screaming, "I am not ashamed. I am not ashamed. I am not ashamed."
The host of the annual Resurgence conference then shouted, "I am not ashamed of what?" To which the more than 800 people in attendance replied back, "Of the Gospel." Driscoll continued, "Of the Gospel of the Good News of the person and the work of Jesus Christ. This is a day for courage, not for cowards."
Driscoll was followed by other megachurch pastors later on Tuesday, there to discuss how leaders can continue to pastor and evangelize in a culture that appears to be embracing biblical values less and less. The conference theme, Call to Resurgence, is based on Driscoll's newly released book of the same name. more >>
The foundations for Christena Cleveland's new book, Disunity in Christ: Uncovering the Hidden Forces that Keep Us Apart, began when she was eight-years-old. As a child, growing up in her father's "a quarter black, Hispanic, Asian and white" church plant in the culturally heterogeneous San Francisco Bay Area, this was Cleveland's reality.
"It was normal for you to interact with people who were different. It was normal for cultural conflicts to come up and for you to work through them, rather than run away from them. It was normal for me to sing worship songs outside of cultural comfort zone," Cleveland told The Christian Post. "Church was an adventure."
But as Cleveland, who attended Dartmouth College in New Hampshire for undergrad and subsequently entered a doctorate program at University of California, Santa Barbara, left her childhood behind and began to move around the country, she quickly saw that many American churches had nowhere near the diversity she had taken for granted as a child. more >>
Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church in North Carolina remains in the media this week as the local television news station that previously disclosed the Christian minister's 16,000-square-foot home has obtained an internal report from his multi-campus ministry that shows the Charlotte megachurch has plans for further expansion.
WCNC-TV in Charlotte did not reveal how it obtained a copy of one of Elevation Church's internal reports, which reads on one page: "Prepared for the private and confidential use of Pastor Steven Furtick...Chunks Corbett [and] selected members of the staff." The information in the report includes data collected between Jan. 1, 2013 and Sept. 1, 2013. The report appears unrelated to the 2012 annual report Elevation Church made available (.pdf) on its website last week,
Below is some of the information revealed by WCNC-TV from Elevation Church's internal report: more >>
Author and former pastor Rob Bell's interview with Oprah Winfrey on her "Super Soul Sunday" program this past weekend featured aspects of the Michigan native's rise to ministry and his founding of a megachurch, to suddenly finding himself the subject of controversy and criticism over his 2011 book, Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived, and the adversity and pressure that eventually led him to depart from the faith community he had been leading for years.
"Love Wins held on the New York Times Best Sellers list for 24 weeks and helped usher in what some might call a new brand of Christianity...which didn't sit well with everybody, of course," states Winfrey in the narrated introduction to the interview. "Prominent conservative Christians called him a 'false prophet' and even...'a heretic.'
"The onslaught took its toll and Rob was shaken. He had never intended to become a polarizing figure. He says he just wanted to shine a light on the questions that many Christians struggled with in private." more >>
A half-dozen megachurch pastors, arguably at the top of the most recognizable names list within and outside the Christian community, are scheduled to discuss how believers can live out their faith in a culture that appears to be embracing biblical values less and less. Evangelical leaders including Rick Warren, Matt Chandler, Greg Laurie, James MacDonald, and Crawford Loritts will be joining host Mark Driscoll at the Resurgence Conference 2013 at Mars Hill Downtown Church in Seattle, Wash., Tuesday and Wednesday.
Driscoll recently told The Christian Post that he will open the conference by speaking about the changes in culture that he outlines in his book, A Call To Resurgence, as well as the obstacles and opportunities that are ahead of the church for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
"I am asking the Holy Spirit to use the instructional and relational aspects of the conference to help leaders from various tribes waste less time fighting and more time learning so we can all invest our energy in evangelizing," Driscoll said. "I will close out the conference with the findings from a massive research project we have undertaken about the most common objections to Christian faith by the unchurched and de-churched ages 18-44 that is the basis for my next book due out next fall that I am currently writing as the follow up to A Call To Resurgence. The tentative working title is My Problem With Christianity. This is the biggest research and writing project I've ever been a part of and the findings are surprising and enlightening while also discouraging." more >>

Well I finally got a chance to spend some time with the freezer. After plugging it in for a few hours, this is what I observed:
The fan works. It runs all the time EXCEPT during the defrost cycle. It runs even when the door is open.
The defrost heater works. Went out to check on the freezer last night and didn't hear anything running, no compressor, no fan. I thought it was finally completely dead. I opened the door and it happened to be during a defrost cycle. The heater was hot and water was dripping off the evap coils.
The interior light works and shuts off when the door closes, as it should. The door gasket appears to be in good shape.
So, the timer, the heater, the fan...all work. I'm not sure what that leaves me? The thermostat or the compressor needs charged with new refrigerant?
There wasn't much frost on the evap coils but I took pics anyways. Here:

Manchester City are on the brink of escaping a Champions League ban from UEFA that most media outlets had made it seem inevitable. According to the Athletic, the club will only receive a fine and not face a ban.
Der Spiegel alleged the Premier League Champions Manchester City circumvented FFP regulations that limit how much money owners can put into a club. Based on the allegations, UEFA, 8 months back, announced they will investigate Manchester City for breaking FFP rules. The club called the allegations entirely false and welcomed the investigation calling it “an opportunity to bring to an end the speculation resulting from the illegal hacking and out of context publication of City emails”.
While UEFA have always maintained they won’t comment on the matter while investigations are being conducted, it raised a few eye-brows when the New York Times published an article that claimed UEFA investigators were set to seek Manchester City’s Ban from the Champions League.
We published the entire time-line of events when the CFCB chief investigator Yves Letterme referred the case to the adjudicatory chamber, and discussed the options Man City had at that point of time.
Manchester City had not only vehemently denied any wrong-doing but, unlike in the past, criticized the CFCB’s Chief Investigator. The club said the CFCB’s decision had mistakes, misinterpretations and confusions fundamentally borne out of a basic lack of due process. The club also mentioned the investigation ignored “a comprehensive body of irrefutable evidence” provided by the club to the Chamber.
That was a clear indication Manchester City were ready to take UEFA on. In addition, Manchester City had genuine reasons to be upset as there were several factors that may have influenced the investigatory chamber’s decision, including:
- UEFA’s rule states CFCB can’t bring prosecutions more than five years after the event. The investigatory chamber’s decision to refer the case to the Adjudicatory chamber in a hurried manner was reportedly influenced by the rule.
- The Investigatory Chamber’s Chief Investigator Yves Letterme ignored crucial information in the document with atleast 100 pages that proved their innocence, as per Man City’s Club Statement
- One of the 8 members of the UEFA investigatory chamber is Rick Parry – the former Chief Executive of Liverpool FC – a direct rival of Manchester City FC. This has made some people in football feel there was conflict of interest.
It is also worth noting that the entire investigation is based on leaked documents. Man City have already paid a fine amount for breaking FFP rules during the specified period, which makes some experts question whether the earlier punishment had been taken into account by the investigatory chamber that referred the case to the adjudicatory chamber.
The Investigatory Chamber’s Chief Yves Letterme is a Belgian Politican. Unlike the investigatory chamber, the adjudicatory chamber of the CFCB is headed by José Narciso da Cunha Rodrigues – a Portuguese Judge, who is extremely qualified to investigate the documents provided by Manchester City, which the club claims prove their innocence.
Manchester City have taken UEFA to the Court of Arbitration for Sport already as they clearly believe they have done nothing wrong. The club may not be even ready to accept a fine.
It would be impossible for UEFA to ban the club and not face a huge legal backlash from the Premier League Champions. This entire situation has brought UEFA into muddy waters.
After UEFA’s recent experience against PSG at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) where UEFA’s own regulation worked against them, another loss to a high-profile club would certainly bring into question CFCB’s ability to investigate and rule proper judgement within their own set of regulations.
Fighting Man City in an expensive legal battle based on allegations backed by no concrete proof will malign the reputation of UEFA in the long-run. Letting the club off the hook, even at the cost of facing the backlash from particularly La Liga and Bundesliga clubs, is most likely the right and sensible decision.

#1 Ranked Children’s Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients’ information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children’s, other academic medical centers and from industry.
Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Alainah was born with microcephaly, or a smaller-than-average head. She’s receiving early interventions for developmental delay while Boston Children's neurologist Ganeshwaran Mochida, MD, seeks the genetic cause of her condition.
When Samantha was 10 years old, she was bullied by a male classmate, hearing: “Why are you on this earth? You don’t deserve to be alive.” Boston Children’s BACPAC Program provided a safe haven.
As Vivienne grew from infant to toddler, she was slow to reach motor milestones and was clearly losing strength. She was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy, but has shown some improvement with an experimental drug called SMNRx.
At 14 months of age, Oliver ruled the night, waking his parents repeatedly and refusing to nap. His exhausted parents came to Boston Children’s Sleep Program, where they received a four-part customized plan that quickly had Oliver sleeping through the night.
Sammy was having hundreds of seizures a day and was diagnosed with Doose syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy that isn’t helped by medications. A rigorous high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet has brought his seizures to a halt.
Haley’s severe epilepsy, linked to the CDKL5 gene, keeps her from speaking, but she communicates volumes with her eyes and with the tablet she controls with her gaze. She’s also helping to advance the science around her rare disorder.
Hillary Savoie blogs about her search for a diagnosis for her daughter’s neurologic problems. In her first post, she describes Esmé’s genetic testing process. Her second post addresses her role as a “citizen scientist,” forming communities with other families and supporting research studies.
Charlotte has tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a rare genetic condition in which benign tumors grow in the brain and other organs. Since enrolling in an international study everolimus (Afinitor®), a drug that attacks TSC’s root cause, Charlotte’s seizures have stopped and her speech and alertness have improved.
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them. Thanks to you, Boston Children's is a place where we can write the greatest children's stories ever told.”

Hire this man. Do it!
We hired Dean for our wedding in September 2019 and we truly cannot say enough great things about him!Sent on 10/13/2019
We first worked with him during the engagement photos, which he calls the connection session. It is a great way for you to get to know him and vice versa. The pictures turned out phenomenal, so we knew we were in for a treat when the wedding day finally came!
In the months, weeks, and days leading up to the wedding, Dean was always super quick to respond to my e-mails and questions, even at odd hours of the morning. I don't think this man ever sleeps. He was always open-minded to the ideas I had about photos and he was loaded with great ideas that we hadn't even thought of.
Dean came along to our rehearsal the night before the wedding, which was great. He was so helpful when we were talking through the ceremony, offering ideas to make sure the event was as photogenic as possible!
The wedding day was an absolute dream. Dean was with us for the entire day, right up until we left the venue to go to the hotel. He obviously takes great photos, but what was even better was that he and his assistant were just genuinely great people to have around us for the day. He fit in so perfectly with all of our friends and family. We got so many compliments from our guests about what a great guy Dean was.
Then the pictures arrived several weeks later. Wow! Just wow! We knew they would be great, but he still blew our expectations out of the water. He edits every single one of the photos, and there are a lot of them.
We are so thankful we chose Dean to capture our day. He was spectacular. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to any of our friends and family who need a photographer!
Abigail Kluth · Married on 08/31/2019
We could not have found a better fit for our wedding photography! Even at our first meeting, it felt like we had known Dean for years! He and Zozo did such an amazing job, from our connection session to our wedding day. Our guests had an absolute blast with the 'Booth and loved how easy it was to use! We highly recommend Dean and hope to get to work with him again soon!Sent on 10/12/2019
Alyssa · Married on 08/17/2019
Dean was amazing! We found him on wedding wire, and are so happy we did. From our engagement shoot to our wedding, we have so many amazing photos. Our friends loved the photo booth, and we have some great pictures with props! Dean was able to get so many different shots, and was always making sure my groom and I were happy, and had everything we needed. He really made us feel as ease, and my friends and family loved him. 10/10 would recommend!Sent on 09/13/2019
Dean's Photography's reply:Thank you both so much! You seriously made the day go so smooth and thanks for introducing me to the Starline Factory! I look forward to our next shoot! :)

Nice working with you! I definitely endorse you
Dean is not only a phenomenal photographer, but a great guy to work with as well! I spoke with him about the best angles to get of my student's first dance as husband and wife and he got into the best spots to get the perfect shots for the whole dance! He even laid down down on the floor to get pics of a cool kick sequence they did during the swing dance part! We proudly feature his photos on our wall in the studio and on our website. Thanks for being awesome Dean!
I did a wedding with Dean's photography a few years ago and they took awesome pictures and were so accommodating to work with. Not only that but he stayed until the end of the wedding which is extremely rare. Awesome choice!!

Spritual surrender. Most of us are chasing something in our lives, may be it's the One for life that you are waiting for, the big promotion you have been eyeing, the next big hike for that vacation/car/house and the list goes on. And we hustle for it, we think about it, we talk about it, we dream about it, we plan for it day in and out.
And when we don't see it coming, we get depressed, we worry, our anxiety sky rockets. What we don't realize is that ours plans are coming in the way of God's plans. What we believe is the best for us may not be best for us 'now'. Maybe there is a lesson that we still need to learn, may be there is an experience that we need to encounter. What we need to do is surrender ourselves spritually. We need to focus on what we have already, we need to do things that makes us thrive, focus on ourselves, let go of the control for a change. Believe that universe has the best plan for us and that we need to be the best and the happiest that we can be by ourselves. Life works out by itself, don't sit around waiting for it, get busy living and let life surprise you.

Official safety report will back the controversial power source despite Fukushima disaster
The government is set to rubber stamp the construction of a new generation of nuclear power plants tomorrow after an official safety report backed the proposals.
Following Japan’s Fukushima reactor disaster in March, the government commissioned chief nuclear safety inspector Mike Weightman to produce a report on the lessons for the UK.
The final report, due to be released tomorrow by energy secretary Chris Huhne, is understood to make only minor amendments to an interim report that drew distinctions between British and Japanese nuclear technology and said the chances of a similar natural disaster in this country were minimal.
But these conclusions - and the government efforts to reinvigorate the nuclear new build programme - are fiercely opposed by the green lobby, which has been infuriated by the preparatory work carried out at Hinkley Point in Somerset by Bam Nuttall and Kier on behalf of the French-owned EDF.
Greenpeace argues that the Weightman report “pre-empted” the lessons of Fukushima, arguing that lessons can only be learnt a year or 18 months after the incident.
