Office of Hawaiian Affairs trustees hope to persuade the City Council to delay next week's vote on condemning Waimea Falls Adventure Park while OHA considers buying the property.
OHA hopes to delay
By Pat Omandam
Two OHA committees on Tuesday will vote on the purchase of the 1,875-acre North Shore attraction, as well as on changing the agency's investment policy to allow the large land purchase.
Trustee John D. Waihee IV, who is spearheading OHA's interest in the property, said earlier this week that the City Council will decide on Wednesday whether to condemn the property or defer a vote until the June 20 meeting to give OHA time to signal the Council on its intention.
If approved by the joint committees next week, the proposal goes to OHA's Budget Committee, headed by Oz Stender. Finally, it must be approved by the board before the City Council meets in June.
Waihee admits the timeline for his plan is short and it may not work, but he has to try.
"We have to do it," he said. "The city is going to give us a chance to take a position, so if it fails or whatever, we should let them know."
But there is no guarantee a majority of trustees will agree on obtaining the park.
"I'm not sure if the outcome will be some kind of action," said OHA Chairwoman Haunani Apoliona. "It may be discussion."
OHA has more than $325 million in investments but no real land holdings to diversify its portfolio. It leases the Waialua Courthouse and owns a heiau.
Waihee supports the purchase so OHA can preserve Waimea Valley and convert it into a cultural and historical attraction dedicated to Hawaiians. One lure would be the federal conservation money that could be available under such a proposal.
New York businessman Christian Wolffer, the park's owner, put the site up for sale for $25 million in August. The park was put under bankruptcy protection in April after the operator filed for Chapter 11 reorganization.
The city has earmarked $5.2 million for the site in the event it condemns the park.
Waihee has suggested OHA offer no more than 10 percent above the city's $5.2 million offer and work with the city in developing a cultural preserve.

Name of creator
The daughter of academic parents, Nancy-Lou Patterson was born in 1929 in Worcester, Mass. She received her BA in Fine Arts from the University of Washington in 1951, afterwards working for two years as a scientific illustrator at the University of Kansas and at the Smithsonian and then for nine years as a lecturer at Seattle University.
In 1962 she moved to the Waterloo Region with her husband, Dr. E Palmer Patterson, who was to teach at the University of Waterloo. In addition to her position as Director of Art and Curator of the University's art gallery, in 1966 Professor Patterson taught the University of Waterloo's first Fine Arts course, and in 1968 she founded the Department of Fine Arts, twice serving as Department Chair.
As a scholar Nancy-Lou Patterson is well known for her writings in the area of mythopoeic art and literature, with particular focus on the works of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, George MacDonald, Charles Williams and Dorothy L. Sayers. She has written extensively on the traditional arts of Swiss German and Dutch-German Mennonites of Waterloo County, and also on the art of Native Canadians. Her work includes both book and exhibition reviews, and exhibition catalogues. She has published both poetry and fiction, including her three novels Apple Staff and Silver Crown (1985), The Painted Hallway (1992), and Barricade Summer (1996). Nancy-Lou Patterson's artistic career began in 1953 when she created a mural for an Anglican Church in Kansas, and includes a series of stained glass windows designed in 1964 for Conrad Grebel Chapel at the University of Waterloo. Her liturgical commissions have involved work in textiles, stained glass, wood, metal, terra cotta, and calligraphy.
In 1993 Nancy-Lou Patterson was named "Distinguished Professor Emerita" by the University of Waterloo, and in the same year received an honorary doctor of letters degree from Wilfrid Laurier University in recognition of "a life dedicated to expression."
Patterson died in Kitchener on October 15, 2018.

Table IV. Permissible Speeds at Various Superelevations and Degrees of Curvature, MPH*
For standard-gage track, the amount of superelevation is represented by e = 0.00066 DV2, where D is the
curvature in degrees and V the train speed in miles per hour. This formula gives the height of superelevation that
will give the train equilibrium, that is, will permit it to bear equally on both rails. This amount of raise is known
as the equilibrium superelevation. It means the height in inches that the high or outside rail must be raised to
compensate for the side thrust and overturning action of centrifugal force.

March 11, 2023 - March 25, 2023
The Graphic Novel Workshop will teach the student the process of taking your idea and structure it into a plan and process that will help mold the students ideas and samples into a complete, ready to publish graphic novel. We will go over storyboards, drawing techniques that help express the emotion of the scene and how to make your sequential art flow as an exciting story to be viewed. We will make page samples to test these techniques and then finally at the end, go over how to put your work into a PDF and then off to a printing company to make your own books!
Art League Members receive discounts on most classes, exhibition entries and events. But they apply only to current members in good standing. If registrant is later determined to be ineligible for member discount as of the date of this transaction, all charges will be adjusted to reflect the full non-member rate.

Kei Ito Virtual Artist Talk, hosted by Center for Fine Art Photography
March 1, 2023
Center for Fine Art Photography and Gregory Allicar Museum of Art, in collaboration with CSU's Asian Pacific American Cultural Center, welcome visiting artist Kei Ito for an artist talk in conjunction with the exhibition The Beginning, in the land around me.
Featuring five projects spanning 2020-2023, The Beginning, in the land around me centers on the artist’s own nuclear heritage as a third-generation hibakusha (atomic bomb victim). The exhibition surveys the shared pasts and traumas of those impacted by nuclear weapons and asks the questions: has war ever ended, and is the price for peace the same as that for wartime?

Mixtapes are a risky business. You might think what you made is some kind of wonderful, but after giving it a listen it ends up not making the grade. Even worse, if you make a track list you think represents what you're about and the recipient is not into it, you may feel better off dead. Whether you're a soul man (or woman) or a party animal, you need to choose something which reflects your taste and goes down well with the listener. If you have a secret message to convey or you just want to say anything to get their attention, a mixtape needs a few considerations. Fortunately, oneHOWTO is here to show you how to make a mixtape for someone which makes them want to pump up the volume and play it on repeat.
Decide on your medium
Although there has never been more choice of how you can make your mixtape, this doesn't mean your recipient will have the corresponding player to listen to the songs. The classic mixtape, and the reason we use 'tape' and not 'CD' or 'record', is the cassette. It has its limitations, namely the inability to skip tracks. If there is a particular song you want to get to, you have to go to the right part of the tape reel on the right side of the cassette. To do this, you have to hold down fast forward or rewind (some real old school cassette players only have fast forward buttons). It can produce loud squeals and is perhaps frustrating for a generation who are used to having all their content on demand.
However, the cassette's weakness as a medium for listening is also a strength when it comes to making a mixtape. If skipping the track for the listener is a hassle, it might make them more inclined to listen to the whole thing. This means all your hard work gets the reception it deserves. It might also mean songs which are growers will be given the opportunity they need to be enjoyed.
CDs don't have the same problem when it comes to skipping tracks. They also have a larger case which means if you want to get visually creative, you can have a larger canvas to work on. Unfortunately, the once ubiquitous CD player is now often a thing of the past. Even many new computers won't come with a CD-rom drive. However, the resurgence of cassettes have also been thought to create a dearth of magnetic tape required to record them.
Lastly, you could make a Spotify or Youtube playlist for someone, but this just doesn't have the same impact as physical objects when it comes to giving a gift. Digital mixtapes often feel disposable and impersonal.
Who are you making the mixtape for
The point of giving a mixtape is to provide something for the person you give it to. Although, as it is a practice often carried out by music buffs/nerds/pedants, it's safe to say a lot of it is about showing off your own musical taste. If you're making a mixtape purely to show off, you should know that the person receiving it will probably work this out. Maybe they'll get some good tunes out of it, but it might not reflect well on you in the long run.
Like all gifts, it should be tailored to the person. If you know them well, you will probably have spoken at least a little about music. Maybe they don't (in your opinion) have the best taste in music and you want to open them up to some new stuff. Take what they do like and use it as a gateway track to something better. If they're into some trashy David Guetta style dance pop, you can segue them into some Detroit house. They'll not only be more inclined to like the music, but should appreciate the thought.
Why are you making them a mixtape?
This is crucial. If you happen to be reading this while under the influence of being a teenager, then you may think making a mixtape is the only way you can convey your true feelings to a special someone. You may feel too shy to say it outright. You think the subtle lyrics of these heart wrenching songs will subconsciously open the floodgates of passion they have been secretly harboring for you. It's likely it won't. Furthermore, if they do catch on to your true intentions it could backfire. You might end up coming across as a bleeding heart emo.
You can include some ballads if you think they'd be into them. But if you want to impress, a better idea is to just put on great tracks they will enjoy. They'll think you have taste and this goes a long way. If you are making a mixtape to show someone how you feel about them, the best way is to just have confidence and tell them.
If you are making a mixtape for someone just because you want to share some good music, then the pressure is off. Tailor it to their likes and make sure you don't put anything on there they hate. The best way is to choose music you think they will have never heard of.
Choose the tone of your mixtape
Choosing the tone of your mixtape is all about track listing. This is where themes come in. This can go both ways. If you're really into skate punk and you make a 90 minute tape of NOFX tracks, it might be more for you than for them. Same goes if you make a mixtape of any one genre. Mix it up a little bit.
Ideally, you should make one which has some different styles to keep them interested. Making a mixtape is not the same a creating a DJ set. They can listen to it at home as much as with people. Create a track listing which takes them on an engaging journey, with unexpected turns and some beautiful places at the end of the road. Important are your opener and end track. Make sure the first one makes them want to hear more and the last one makes them want to listen again.
Choose the look of your mixtape
Finally, the benefit of creating a physical mixtape over a digital one is the fact you can get creative. You may not be Andy Warhol, but you can get inspiration by cutting and pasting images on to the cover. This is where memes come in handy, but if you are old school enough to have some magazines or paper images to use, all the better. If are handy with a biro, then you can make something beautiful for them. If not, at least make it amusing.

A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from the assistant of a famous corporate leader, Dr. Lance Secretan. He just wrote his memoir, A Love Story, in which he describes his passionate, life-long romance with wife, Trish. Dr. Lance wanted to meet me because he had heard about my book, Love Never Dies, and knew that we have much in common.
We had a brief phone call and I invited him to come on Ask Dr. Love radio to talk about his life with Trish and their secret to a lifetime of passionate love.
In preparation for his appearance on my show, I read over his suggested talking points for the interview.
My eyes froze on a sentence that was contained in his prep sheet.
It said, “I still cry every day.”
When I read this sentence, I just knew that I had to help Dr. Lance reconnect with his wife. So, I decided to do just this on air!
I invite you to listen to this amazing interview, which debuts on Sunday, August 28th at 9pm.
In the final segment, you will hear Dr. Lance cyring in joy as he reconnects with his beloved wife for the first time since she left her body. He felt her arms around him and he felt surrounded in love.
I was so thrilled for him.
Dr. Lance’s experience proves, yet again, why I keep saying that reconnecting transforms our grief to joy!
I won’t rest until every grieving person in the world realizes that we love don’t die and our relationships aren’t meant to end with bodily death.
The latest quantum physicist research proves this truth!
We now know 95% of our universe is comprised of dark matter or dark energy. We also know that energy cannot be destroyed.
So when we “die” we merely shed the turtle shell of their physical bodies and enter the spirit realm, or heaven, which is what scientists call the dark matter or dark energy!
We can’t see the dark matter, but that doesn’t mean that life isn’t being lived within it!
This explains why my husband said to me right after leaving his body, “Jamie, death is an illusion. There’s a very thin veil between the realm where you are and the realm where I am. The veil is thinner than you can ever imagine. I’m standing right here!”
Our loved ones don’t go anywhere!
They are standing right beside us, waiting for us to reconnect with them!
And, that’s what my new Trans-Dimensional Grief Method is all about. I show you how to tune to the spirit channel of your brain so that you can send and receive energetic communications to and from your loved ones in the dark matter!
The moment you reconnect, you will instantly feel an unearthly love and peace pouring into you from your loved ones in spirit.
As soon as you experience this joy, you will want to continue the connection and keep it going.
And, as you will discover, reconnecting and staying connected, transforms your sadness to joy.
Now that Dr. Lance has begun his reconnection with his beloved Trish, you can be sure that he won’t be crying every day.
I invite you to listen to this lovely interview, and share in Dr. Lance’s joyful reconnection with his wife.
PS: If you are ready to begin your own reconnection, and even heal any unfinished business with any being in spirit, I have many ways to help you.
In conjunction with the book, many find it helpful to take the Love Never Dies Online Course, which provides 8 pre-recorded self-paced video lessons in which I take you by the hand and guide you to reconnect and also heal any unfinished business.

For many humans, the mysteries of the outer space remains a wonder. Many marvel at its beauty and its uniqueness; however, for others, it’s a big nightmare.
When a person has a severe and irrational fright of stars and space, the person can be said to have astrophobia. The word astrophobia comes from two Greek words, “Astro,” meaning “Stars” and “Phobos,” meaning “deep aversion or fear.”
Astrophobia is part of the many specific phobias that there is, and just like other phobias, when people who have this fear are exposed to their triggers, they have a case of extreme anxiety, which can lead to a full-blown panic attack.
For some, they may not be scared of stars. However, when they think of outer space and the fact that aliens can come from there(although they know it may not be true), they begin to experience symptoms of anxiety.
Such people get mentally affected when they see movies that are related to space, read books about outer space, or when they are engaged in discussions about outer space. For some people, astrophobia can be linked to nyctophobia, which is the fear of the dark.
This means that people who have astrophobia may also tend to be afraid of the night.
Causes of Astrophobia
Focusing on the phobia alone without knowing its causes can result in the continuance of it. However, once you know what causes a particular phobia, you as an individual are in a better position to resolve the internal problems that can cause other subsequent attacks or other phobias.
Unfortunately, as in the case of other phobias, astrophobia is caused as a result of a combination of many factors. Scientists believe that many factors come together to play different roles in creating anxiety disorders.
Below are a number of possible factors that can cause astrophobia.
1. Past traumatic events
As seen in Ataxophobia, most phobias, including astrophobia, are caused as a result of a traumatic event that may have happened in the past, especially in their childhood.
As a child, seeing certain things unfold before your eyes or seeing them in a movie can cause fear so deep within the child that can cause some health and mental challenges.
As a child who may have seen news or movies about astronauts who may have died or became stranded in space, such as “the Apollo 13 story,” which left parents and children shocked and scared, becoming scared of that which you have seen is just as expected.
2. The media
Are you surprised that we would consider the media a part of the causes of this phobia? Well, it is indeed true.
Some books and movies that have been produced have projected the outer space in a bad light and, as such, getting people genuinely scared, and it can, in turn, lead to anxiety attacks when they come in contact with anything that has to do with the outer space.
There are many movies and books out there that talk about alien invasions, which can, in turn, escalate the fear. Some people who are even engaged in the production of the movie or the book eventually become victims of astrophobia.
For example, a lone woman astronaut who acted in the movie titled “Gravity” says she hates the outer space, and she portrays a character that was stranded in space after a storm destroys her shuttle and kills her remaining crew in the space shuttle.
Movies like this can make anyone scared, and for some people, this fear can take deep root, especially when the person has the genetics or family history for mental disturbances and psychological problems.
3. Parental influences
Exposing children to some talks and discussions at an early age can tamper with their mental stability and trigger phobias such as this.
Once you, like an anxious parent or a caregiver, begin to fill a child’s head with wild thoughts and imaginations, thinking you are doing more good than harm, you will end up scarring your child.
Truth is the human brain that takes what it is given and projects it in one hundred possible ways. Hence, when you give a child a fearful detail about an event of space, the child’s brain grabs it and escalates it. What started as a story or a piece of advice can, over the years, become a deep-rooted Astrophobia.
4. Chemical imbalances
Some people have chemical imbalances, and that can make them more prone to the development of specific phobias, including astrophobia.
Genetics has a role to play in the development of astrophobia and other specific phobias. Once you are predisposed to getting astrophobia, getting exposed to the triggers causes the development of the anxiety and panic attacks causing astrophobia to occur.
Symptoms of Astrophobia
One major thing you must understand when dealing with astrophobia is that it is a type of specific phobia. People who have astrophobia don’t just casually hate anything related to space and stars; they have a persistent fear and anxiety whenever they even think about it.
Sometimes, people who have astrophobia tend to have panic attacks whenever they are close to their triggers, and this can cause a disruption in their health and daily lifestyle. The symptoms of astrophobia are similar to t that of other phobias, and they include:
1. Shortness of breath
When a person who suffers from astrophobia is close to anything related to space or stars, the person will experience sudden tightness in his/her chest and the intense difficulty in breathing.
The person will begin to have sweaty palms and forehead, uneasiness, and possible visible tremors. These are all possible signs of anxiety.
The patient might be seen to be visibly shaking when he or she comes in contact with his or her triggers. This may be seen before the patient goes into a full-blown panic attack.
4. Panic attacks
The patient can experience insecurity and panic in a perfectly safe area and, as such, go into a full-blown panic attack.
5. Rapid heartbeat
Rapid heartbeat often goes hand in hand with panic attacks.
Other symptoms may include sweating, hot flashes, cold flashes, shaking, crying, and screaming. They may likely experience the tendency always to want to run away when exposed to anything related to the space or stars, dizziness, fear of being entirely disconnected or losing touch with reality, fatigue, nausea, lack of appetite as well as vomiting.
Just like other types of phobia, astrophobia is first a mental issue that can quickly become a health problem. As such, it is usually treated under the supervision of a professional therapist or psychiatrist.
The treatment is first to help disseminate any negative thoughts the patient may be having towards the outer space, the stars, and the galaxy. Listed below are a few remedies that are often offered to those who suffer from astrophobia.
1. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy(CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often known as CBT, is one of the most common treatments used in helping patients deal with phobias, and it has been seen to be quite useful. In this kind of treatment, the doctor helps the patient gradually change the way they think and see things, especially when it relates to their fears.
It is a step-by-step process that may take a while; however, it has been proven to be effective when treating astrophobia. What the therapist does is to teach them how to counteract their fears with positive thoughts.
2. Desensitization and exposure therapy
This is a branch of CBT. This involves gradually exposing the patient to their fears and help them face it one by one. The theory behind it is that “the more you are exposed to your fear, you learn to control your fear, slowly and over time, your fear diminishes.”
However, this exposure is usually done under supervision, and it is controlled.
This method is usually done under extreme circumstances after all other therapies seem not to be working. Hypnotherapy usually involves hypnosis in which the patient is sent into a deep state of relaxation, and as such, the person’s mind is open to receiving positive thoughts and suggestions.
The patient listens and adapts to whatever he or she is told during this session and walks with it for a long time.
Self-help means you as the patient doing something to help yourself out of your fear. It can include writing down your fears on a sheet, and for every concern, you write down, you write a countering positive thought.
Also, meditations, deep breathing, and visualization have been seen to be effective methods to help reduce the effects of astrophobia.
If you know someone who has astrophobia or you have it, we advise that you see a therapist. Having to talk to someone about your fears is not a sign of weakness; instead, it is a sign of strength as it shows you are no longer running, but you are ready to face your fears head-on.
Talk to a licensed, competent therapist who is capable of helping you stop suffering in the most friendly way possible.

Real estate experts say that bathrooms and kitchens sell homes, which means that they can also cause homes to not sell as well. Make sure you don't have one of the outdated bathroom features buyers always notice, or you could wait a long time to get a sale.
Outdated Bathroom Features to Get Rid Of
If something is seriously dating your bathroom, you need to strongly consider an upgrade. The bathroom can make or break the sale of a home or make the difference in thousands of dollars of potential profit for the seller.
Take a look around your bathroom and find out if you've got one of the outdated bathroom features that buyers don't want to see.
If you do, you're going to need to know how to upgrade the space so you can get rid of these issues and make your home much more attractive to potential buyers.
At one point, a jacuzzi tub with lots of jets was the feature to have. This could really sell a bathroom.
Those days are gone. Now, jacuzzis have the opposite effect.
In the more modern and more eco-conscious era, jacuzzi tubs are an outdated, water-guzzling nightmare. They look dated and they are disliked by potential home buyers.
What's Wrong With Them?
The jets are difficult to clean and maintain, as jacuzzi tubs are prone to problems that require them to be serviced.
Those jets also use up a lot of water, something that's becoming quite unpopular all around the world as environmental concerns are becoming more commonly talked about.
These tubs are also quite large and tend to dominate the bathroom, creating a rather unbalanced overall design. Jacuzzis are big and ugly and outdated by today's sleeker design standards.
How to Replace a Jacuzzi Tub
The best move is to replace the tub entirely. Swap out the jacuzzi tub for a freestanding tub.
Freestanding tubs look much more modern and they can be a striking bathroom element that actually increases the beauty and the value of the space, which increases the overall property value of your home.
A freestanding tub is a highly desirable element and a selling point, which is exactly the opposite of an outdated jacuzzi with jets.
A Quicker Fix
If you just really can't invest the kind of money and time it's going to take to switch out that tub, there are some affordable DIY fixes you can try. These are less expensive and they can still refresh the look of the room.
First, swap out the faucet and metal tub fixtures for newer stuff. This will allow you to give the tub a much more modern look.
Next, refinish the tub. You can buy all the stuff you need at a home improvement store and do this yourself in about a day or two.
Once upon a time, it was all the rage to have a pastel bathroom. Wallpaper, carpet, towels...the tub, the sink, the toilet, they were all done in gloriously soft shades of yellow, green, blue, and pink.
What's Wrong with Them?
But that was a very long time ago, especially by design standards. Today, it looks utterly ridiculous and extremely out of style to have a bathroom fixture in any shade other than white or, sometimes, black.
How to Replace Pastel Bathroom Fixtures
If your bathroom has pastel fixtures, the best thing you can do is replace them entirely. For starters, pastel fixtures are visibly older models and this will deter buyers.
It's an investment to replace a large bathroom component like a sink, a toilet, or a tub, or even all f them. But this will pay off in a big, big way when it comes to selling the home.
Pastel bathrooms haven't been in style for decades and colored fixures will immediately date the space and turn off potential buyers.
The entire room will look decades more modern with this change, and it's a huge flex to boast that some or all bathroom fixtures are new.
A Quicker Fix
If you can't replace the fixtures, you can refinish them with products available at home improvement stores. This isn't quite as simple as painting a piece of furniture but it's in the same DIY category.
So if you can paint furniture, you can refinish fixtures with a little time and patience.
In 1960s design, carpet was the living end. It was wall-to-wall and sometimes it was actually on the walls, too.
In the 1960s, people would even put carpet on the ceiling. It was absolutely everywhere in home design, even the bathroom.
So if your bathroom has carpet literally anywhere in the room, rip it out. Fix or replace what is under it and watch your home's value increase.
What's Wrong With It?
Carpet in the bathroom doesn't just look outdated, it's unhygienic. The CDC says this is a bad idea because carpet retains moisture and causes the growth of mold, which you definitely don't want.
Carpet also traps odors and dirt. Carpets are hard to clean and they're difficult to maintain in a bathroom, so it's just not a good idea and any potential homebuyer will know it.
How to Replace Carpeting
To replace carpeting, start by physically ripping it off the floor of the room. Wear gloves and be prepared to use your strength to get this task done.
You may need to use a knife to cut the carpet. It should be removed in strips.
The carpet pad and carpet tack strips must be removed. For this, you might need to use a scraper to remove these materials and the glue holding them in place.
Once the carpet is removed, you will need to put down a whole new floor. This can be a pretty big job and you will need to pull up fixtures and other features of the room, like the toilet.
There is no easy solution or quick fix for this outdated bathroom feature. If you have carpeting, it must be removed and that's a bit of a labor-intensive process.
However, there are plenty of options for flooring that shouldn't break your budget. You can put down a new bathroom floor as a DIY project but no matter what, this will be a rather expensive bathroom upgrade that is necessary.
Popcorn ceilings are those ceilings that have little balls and bumps all over them, and they were used in home design for a while for reasons no one can quite understand. They haven't been used in a couple of decades, so this feature will instantly date your space.
You will need to get rid of the popcorn ceiling. This is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process, but it can be done as a DIY job and it isn't an expensive task.
How to Replace a Popcorn Ceiling
You will need to use a drywall knife or a utility knife and get on a ladder to manually scrape a popcorn ceiling. Yes, you will need to use a lot of elbow grease to get this done.
After the popcorn is scraped away, cover dents and nicks and little imperfections with joint compound. Once this dries, sand it all down and repeat the process to get a nice, smooth ceiling.
Next, prime and paint the ceiling. Yes, this project does take a while but it is relatively inexpensive and it makes an enormous difference.
There isn't really a quick fix for a popcorn ceiling. It must be scraped and repainted.
The only shortcut for getting rid of a popcorn ceiling would be to hire a professional to do the work for you, which will save a lot of time but add more money to the cost of the overall bathroom project.
For a long time, wallpaper was used in every single room of the house. Including the bathroom.
Wallpaper has gone the way of the dinosaur and shag carpeting in home design, though some say this trend can and will make a comeback.
It's not likely to make a comeback in the bathroom, however, so if your bathroom has wallpaper, you need to remove it and replace it with tile or paint.
How to Remove Wallpaper
Sometimes, wallpaper can be loosened in the corners with a putty knife and pulled off the wall in strips. In other cases, you will need to use a scoring tool to put holes in the wallpaper and then spray it with water before scraping it off.
With some wallpaper, you may have to use a steamer to loosen and remove the wallpaper. This is by far the most difficult method.
Wallpaper steamers can be rented and this job is much easier to do with two people working.
After the paper has been removed, the walls must be cleaned to free them of glue residue. Now, the walls can be primed and painted or tiled.
Replacing wallpaper with a newer wall treatment will transform the look of the bathroom and completely modernize the room. This change will make the room much more attractive to buyers.
If your bathroom has these outdated features, buyers will always notice and count this as a strike against the house.
These features represent things they will need to fix before they can move into the house happily, and no one wants to do extra work if they don't have to.
Outdated Bathroom Features FAQ
What are some easy, inexpensive ways to modernize a bathroom?
If you're working with a small budget but you want to freshen up the look of your bathroom, try replacing the hardware. Cabinet pulls, towel racks, and toilet paper holders are relatively inexpensive and they can make a big difference.
Give the room more "wow" factor by getting all of these items in the same finish. If the finish also matches all the faucets in the room, you will really turn that wow factor up.
A fresh coat of paint can also do wonders in any bathroom. New paint will freshen up any space and if you choose a color that's popular in modern home design, it will make the room look much newer and more modern overall.
You can also replace the shower curtain rod, hooks, and shower curtain to freshen up the design. A new window treatment can also work wonders.
Clean the grout and give the entire room a deep cleaning. A good, strong cleaning can work wonders to make a room look fresher and newer.
How can you make a bathroom look more modern?
Add some little touches to the bathroom to make it look more modern and make it more attractive to potential home buyers.
Incorporate plants into the space if possible. Even small potted plants add an eco-friendly feel to the space that's highly attractive to modern home buyers.
Choose a more minimalist, neutral look for the room. Stick to a neutral color palette, rather than going for bold pops of color, because this has a more modern look.
Minimalist design is all the rage in home design as well, so avoid clutter and choose smaller elements over bigger ones when possible. You don't need a huge medicine cabinet when a sleek mirror will do, for example.
Lighting can also date a bathroom. Upgrade the lighting to something sleek and modern, rather than the more decorative and ornate lighting fixtures of past home design, to instantly make the space feel newer and fresher.
Which paint colors are best for a bathroom?
Neutral color shades are the best for a bathroom. This creates a soothing and relaxing environment and it's in keeping with current home design trends.
Stick to shades of white, brown, and gray. If you want to use color in the space, try sage green or a soft coral.

This charming but pricey Midtown brick bungalow continues the trend of listings that namecheck The Beltline and Ponce City Market. The location is top-notch, and those amenities are nearby, as is Piedmont Park, so why the hell not mention that, eh? Anyhow, for $450,000 and 1,464 square feet, you're not getting a manse, but the 1925 home does include three bedrooms, nine-foot ceilings, high-end appliances and a nifty mix of period and modern touches. Out back, there's lush landscaping and a detached garage/workshop. The scary basement also has potential. This one last sold in 2007 for $375,000 and may have been upgraded since then.

The fonds consists of records made or received or inherited by Academic Planning Services in the course of its activities. Activities documented include the operations of the the Academic Planning Committee (predecessor of the Senate Committee on Academic Planning), external reviews of university departments, new academic program proposals, and SFU's participation in TRIUMF (the particle accelerator facility located at the University of British Columbia and operated jointly by a number of Canadian universities). Records include meeting agendas, minutes and support papers, and external review reports and related documentation. For more detailed descriptions of record types, see individual series descriptions.
Note that many of the records were created before the establishment of Academic Planning Services and were inherited by the unit: all of series 1 (Academic Planning Committee), many files in series 2 (External reviews), all of series 3 (TRIUMF correspondence), and some of series 4 (General correspondence). Note also that the only records post-dating Alison Watt's tenure as Director (1990-1996) are found in series 2 (External reviews).

Basis Carbon Steel Edition Specs
|Battery Life||about 3 days|
|Display Type||Monochrome LCD|
|Heart Rate Monitor|
When I first got my hands on the Basis fitness watch ($199 direct), I was floored by how much information the activity tracker captures. It continuously gauged my heart rate, and measured my skin temperature and perspiration (all helpful in estimating calorie burn). It even kept an eye on me while I slept. A recent major firmware update now lets the tracker distinguish between walking, running, and bicycling—all automatically. That was my number one missing feature in fitness trackers, and, by golly, the Basis now does it. And with that, the Basis Carbon Steel Edition earns our Editors' Choice for wrist-worn activity trackers. If you're excited about fitness technology, you should buy a Basis straightaway, especially if monitoring heart rate matters to you or you bike frequently.
One big drawback to the Basis is price. Our favorite wrist-worn activity tracker in the more affordable category was the Fitbit Force, but it's no longer available due to a voluntary recall after some users experienced a skin rash from wearing it. Existing Force owners do have the option to keep their devices, which are operatationally fine. The Force doesn't track heart rate, but it measures everything else health-minded people want to know about their fitness: steps taken, stairs climbed, distance traveled, calories burned, and how well they slept.
The Basis Carbon Steel Edition comes with a black leather strap. Its predecessor, the Basis B1 Band, came with either black or white matte polyurethane straps, and the newer edition is by far of finer quality. The device itself is black with stud-like silver buttons on the four corners of the face. I'd call this watch casual and straightforward. The all-black body has an unassuming chicness about it. You can swap in a variety of more fashionable straps for a little extra ($24.99-$49.95).
Pressing either of the right-side buttons on the face of the watch scrolls through the collected data: heart rate (real time), total calories burned for the day so far, steps taken, and a summary of your most recent auto-logged activity. For example, right now, my Basis shows 1 hour 28 minutes of active walking time, which burned 403 calories. It says "Walking" right on that page, and has an icon of a walking body, too. While the Basis does measure perspiration and skin temperature, those details are not shown on the watch, but can be seen in your Web account.
The bottom left button toggles the display back to showing the time or date. And the top left button illuminates the screen, but only barely. It's really dim, and with my poor eyesight, I need a second or two to focus on the display and tilt it to adjust for glare to be able to read it in daylight. It looks better at night. In stark contrast, the Fitbit Force has the sharpest display of any fitness tracker I've seen.
A row of four round connection points on the Basis dots the left edge of the watch, where it attaches to its base station for charging and syncing. The underside has six raised metal sensors that touch your skin to collect data, and an optical sensor that takes your pulse by measuring the volume of blood flowing through your veins. Every so often, you can see it glowing green.
Another reason I'm a big fan of the watch form factor is how it looks. Back when I tested the BodyMedia Fit Core, I cringed with embarrassment every time someone asked me what that putty colored device strapped to my arm was for. A wristwatch is nearly as inconspicuous as the petite Fitbit One, which covertly hides in a pocket or gets clipped to the front of a bra where no one can see it.
A slightly better-built fitness watch, in terms of design and structure, is the MIO Alpha BLE. The screen is brighter, the straps are sturdier, the shape is sleeker, and colored lights indicate when your heart rate is within your target range while exercising. On the other hand, the MIO Alpha isn't a pedometer. It only read heart rate and time, including stopwatch functions, and it doesn't connect to its own online system where you can analyze your fitness trends over time, although you can sync the data to some other apps.
The Basis is water-resistant, but not waterproof, so you don't have to worry about it getting wet in the rain, but you do need to remove it for swimming and other in-water activities. If you want a tracker for swimming, get the Misfit Shine, or the TomTom Multisport if you swim competitively.
Syncing and Charging
With Basis, you have two options for uploading data: wireless syncing via Bluetooth to the iOS or Android app, or connecting the watch via an included USB cord to your computer. (More details about device compatibility can be found on Basis' site.)
The same USB cable used for syncing your activity data doubles as the charger. It's a proprietary design, so if you lose it, you have to buy another one—it's not like you can just pull out any old micro USB cord. Proprietary chargers are a minor inconvenience, and are common among activity trackers.
I tested the iPhone app, but I experienced some trouble syncing, particularly when outdoors and not connected to Wi-Fi. You can see a lot more detail in the Web account anyway, so that's my preferred view, but the app is helpful when you're on the go.
Basis in Motion
Out of the box, you'll need to charge the battery by removing the top wrist strap and sliding the watch into the included cradle, which is made of thin plastic. The cradle connects via a USB cord to your computer—and keep in mind that you actually need a computer to charge the Basis Carbon Steel Edition. The Jawbone UP and Jawbone UP24, meanwhile, only sync to smartphones (iOS and Android), which I find much more limiting. I like seeing my data on a full-sized screen.
During the short setup for Basis, you install a small piece of software on your computer that uploads data from the watch to your Web account, where you can see your fitness habits over time. You can also sync data via Bluetooth to the mobile app for iPhone and Android, but the Web account is where you'll see amazingly detailed data.

Transfer of expertise
The accumulated knowledge can be transferred to other production lines.
Nowadays, it is impossible to imagine our daily business without data collection and tracking. But data alone only provides limited benefits. It’s a matter of using it wisely. In collaboration with Leftshift One, we have dedicated ourselves to exactly this challenge. With autfactory, we deliver production data of exceptionally high quality. This makes it possible to optimally feed the AI system AIOS from Leftshift One with data.
Together, we were able to create a dashboard for the continuous identification of anomalies and quality deviations. Corresponding corrective measures are subsequently derived from this. Detecting and analyzing patterns in the data becomes much easier and clearer for the user thanks to AI. Clustering of relevant data also becomes possible, for example for more precise technical inspection, or for detailed analysis of borderline components.
Artificial intelligence and deep learning on the shopfloor are no longer dreams of the future. We are also intensively involved with these technologies and were able to gain interesting insights for quality assurance in practice as part of a research project. In collaboration with Leftshift One, we were able to show:
We know which of the components are NOK before they are measured or by the EOL test bench!I want to know more
AI-based solutions enable you to detect defective products at an early stage and remove them from production. Thus, defective end products can be reduced. The sample size for EOL quality checks can also be minimized, as AI can identify potential errors earlier than the current quality assurance process.
The use of artificial intelligence in production leads to significant cost savings. Thanks to early detection of defective parts, scrap and quality inspection costs can be minimized. In addition, the time spent on rework can be significantly reduced.
The near real-time analysis of production data performed by AI allows experienced users to focus on more important tasks (e.g., process and work improvements) instead of wasting their time on repetitive data analysis. The reconfiguration of the manufacturing process can also be performed by “non-experts” supported by AI guidance.

In our last installment, we discussed the major contaminants and hazards that can damage a car’s finish. Bird droppings, dirt, insects, stones, tree sap – even such seemingly innocuous things as sunlight and water – will harm the paint on a vehicle. This time, we discuss how professional collision-repair technicians and vehicle restorers who have received training from a certified collision-repair school fight against the harms they can cause.
Painting Tips & Techniques
In order to combat years of abuse that causes damaging wear, car manufacturers have changed the actual chemical composition of automotive paint itself. The delicate enamels and lacquers of years past have given way to durable polymers that can endure incredibly extreme conditions – from bright summer sun to harsh winter road salt to wide swings in temperature and humidity.
Modern automobile finishes represent some of the greatest strides made in vehicle manufacturing. Many of the largest changes coming to the field involve the overcoat or clear-coat more so than the actual paint itself. New advances in clear-coat technology protect the paint and underlying bodywork from ultraviolet (UV) radiation, severe weather conditions and road contaminants such as salt, tar and acids.
Newer clear-coat finishes offer a greater degree of protection from damage caused by road debris caused by hail, salt and gravel. Applied in sufficient thickness, modern clear-coat actually absorbs most damage from minor chips and scratches before they damage the paint itself. Most small nicks can simply be buffed out.
Currently, researchers are developing coatings that can even “heal” themselves. Recently, Nissan began using a “self-cleaning” paint formula called “Scratch Shield” and a “self-healing” clear coat that allows small scratches to fix themselves in days. A new formula under development uses small polymer molecules and metal ions that act as a glue to link them into chains.
Like Nissan’s offering, this coating uses an elastic resin that softens when exposed to sunlight and flows back into minor chips and scratches to keep the underlying paint protected. Under UV light, the polymer will “melt.” This soft polymer then fills gaps and scratches before re-solidifying. Unlike the Nissan formula, this material “healed” itself in a matter of seconds under laboratory conditions. If further testing goes well, this product will first be approved for industrial applications before appearing in the automotive field.
While significant changes have come to both paint formulation and clear-coat technology; change has come to manufacturing and finish-application processes as well. Almost all modern vehicle manufacturers now apply a vehicle’s finish in a nearly sterile environment. Body panels are first cleaned and treated, removing any trace of manufacturing or environmental impurities. Once panels are free of oil, dust or dirt, industrial robots apply paint, followed by clear-coat in an even, uniform coat. This eliminates potential human error and drastically reduces the chance for bubbles, ripples, or waves to form.

3 Things to Know Before Installing a Snowplow on your Truck
Are you tired of waiting for a snowplow to clear your street or driveway? Do you want to clear the snow yourself to save time and money? Your truck can easily be equipped with a snowplow to make clearing the snow around your home easier. However, there are three things you need to know before you install a snowplow on your truck.
Make sure you have the right type of truck
Not all trucks can handle carrying a plow. The best plows tend to weigh upwards of 300 lbs, so you need to have at least a half-ton pickup truck to ensure your vehicle can handle the plow. To be safe, it would be wise to have a three-quarter ton truck.
If you don’t have a half-ton truck, you’ll most likely need to upgrade your truck suspension before installing a 300-lb plow on the front of your vehicle. You also can opt to use a smaller, lighter plow, though you risk it being less effective.
Choose the right type of plow
There are numerous type of plows you can choose from. Polyethylene plastic is the newest material being used for plows. While this material is appealing because the snow doesn’t stick to it as easily and it doesn’t weigh as much as steel plows, don’t be fooled because polyethylene plows are the most expensive and can’t flex as well as steel plows can. So a steel plow is likely your best bet because of its strength.
If you do end up selecting a polyethylene plow, make sure there are steel plates on the bottom of it. When you’re plowing, it’s almost guaranteed that you’re going to run into something hidden in the snow. When this happens, you want your plow to be protected against damage.
A steel plow is equipped to handle these situations, but a polyethylene plow needs the bottom steel plates to eliminate the potential of any damage. These plates will be the first part to wear out and may require some maintenance, so be sure to ask your seller about a warranty.
Consider auxiliary lighting
Because your plow is situated on the nose of your truck, there’s a good chance it will block your headlights. To make sure you can effectively plow in the dark, you’ll need to consider some supplemental lighting. These lights could be situated on the plow itself or could be installed on the roof of your truck. Either way, it’s imperative that you can clearly see the road in front of you when you’re using a truck with a plow.
It’s important to consider these three factors before you rush to install a snow plow on your truck. However, if your truck meets the criteria for a plow, having your own for the snow will make traveling in the winter much easier.

Sightseeing in Macungie
When visiting a town in the northeastern United States, you know that you are going to see plenty of views that are rich in history and cultural. This is especially the case in Macungie, Pennsylvania, as it’s a township that has been around for over 200 years. Over that time, Macungie has developed into one of the more attractive areas in the entire state of Pennsylvania.
Here is a look at some of the best sightseeing spots in Macungie, as well as some of the other areas that are close by.
Macungie Memorial Park
One of the best places to start your day in Macungie is at the Macungie Memorial Park. Whether you are looking to throw the perfect picnic for someone special, or if you are just looking to lay out in the sun to get in some personal time, you’ll have plenty of space to do whatever you please at Macungie Memorial Park. The park initially was designated as an area to promote activity and outdoor entertainment for the township of Macungie. Over time, it has grown into a memorial location that is representative of the entire town.
Macungie Park Pool
When the summer roles around, there is nowhere else to be in Macungie than the Macungie Park Pool. Located in the Macungie Memorial Park, Macungie Park Pool offers tons of fun for the entire family. It doesn’t take being in the northeast for long before you realize how hot it can get during the summer. That is when there are few more refreshing things to do than jump in the pool or go lay out in the sun. The Macungie Park Pool is one of the most popular places in the summers, as children and adults of all ages spend their time there.
Brookside Country Club
For some, the idea of keeping dry and hitting the links sounds more enjoyable than splashing around in the pool. For those who are interested in getting in a round on the links, the Brookside Country Club is the perfect option. This is one of the most pristine courses in all of Pennsylvania, and it’s great for players of all levels. If you aren’t one for golf, you can still head to the Brookside Country Club to grab a drink with friends or have a bite to eat.
Kalmbach Memorial Park
If you want to stay away from Macungie Memorial Park, Kalmbach Memorial Park is another option in Macungie. Kalmback is located on the southern side of Macungie, and it is often less busy than other parks in the area. There are still plenty of things that you can do, including walk your way to the park from Main Street in town.
Be sure to grab your camera if you are coming to Macungie, Pennsylvania. There are plenty of sights to see and activities to take part in. No matter the time of year, you’ll have something to do during your time in the Macungie township of Pennsylvania.

From the Manufacturer
Moka is the Italian Way to Make Espresso
Authentic espresso is the heritage of the Italian culture and tradition, and the great Italian tradition of coffee making began with moka. Found in most Italian kitchens for more than half a century, moka produces an inherently aromatic espresso. It is more intense in flavor, and more pure in coffee taste. That is why generations of Italians have sworn by stovetop moka espresso makers.
In fact, in Italy every family owns at least two mokas. Used on the stovetop, the heat from the burner boils the water and directs it up through the ground coffee and into the receptacle, producing a perfect espresso every time.
Why an Electric Moka Espresso Maker? Although the traditional stovetop moka makes great espresso, people have been searching for a safe, convenient and easy-to-use alternative. The new six-cup machine embodies DeLonghis commitment to its Italian heritage and innovative kitchen design. The Electric Moka Espresso Maker is a modern-day, convenience-minded adaptation of a beloved Italian staple.

HANOVER COUNTY, Va. — Two military veterans and a private plane will make a family reunion complete this weekend – all thanks to a perfect stranger.
Eighty-eight-year-old David Cox has attended his family reunion for the last five decades.
The Korean War veteran and former pilot did not think he could handle the six-hour drive this weekend from Hanover to Lebanon, Virginia.
So he thought he would have to miss Saturday’s annual tradition for the first time.
That was — until the family got connected with Navy veteran Marcus Simmons, who offered to fly cox to the reunion for free on his plane.
“I’m just glad to be in a position to do it for him and with him,” Simmons said.
“It’s really great that there’s still people like him here in this world,” Cox said.
Weather prevented takeoff from Hanover County Airport Friday afternoon, so they are scheduled to take flight Saturday a.m.
They should arrive just in time for the noon reunion where Cox will reconnect with 150 relatives from around the country.

Business Coaching or Strategist Client Contract Template
Digital Download will be instantly delivered to your email inbox upon purchase
When you’re coaching someone and giving advice about their business, the stakes are high. That’s why it’s particularly important to spell out all the details in a Business Coaching or Strategist Client Contract, so you can answer questions like:
What exactly is your area of expertise? And can you guarantee that you’ll help me achieve a specific result or make a certain amount of money?
What are you agreeing to do as my coach or strategist? And what am I agreeing to do as your client?
Will you discuss anything we talk about during our sessions with your other clients?
This template is tailor made for social media strategists, marketing and sales consultants, leadership coaches, outsourced CFOs, and other business advisors. The Business Coaching or Strategist Client Contract also helps outline session procedures, scheduling and cancellation policies, as well as payment terms.
This contract template is drafted by a lawyer and can be completed in about 20 minutes (aka the same time it takes you to watch an episode of your latest Netflix obsession).
If you’re just getting started in business, funds are tight, or you need to get legal protection in place ASAP, this contract template is perfect for you. Plus, it’s a fraction of the cost of working with a lawyer on a custom contract (pssst…working one-on-one with our firm starts at $5,000).
Our templates were designed to be completed by the purchaser and should not be considered a substitute for hiring an attorney. The AWB Firm is not your attorney unless you have separately hired us by signing an engagement agreement.
How can I reach someone to help me?
Email our support team at [email protected] for any questions about contract templates.
I don’t live in Tennessee / the United States, can I use these documents?
Autumn Witt Boyd, the lawyer who primarily created these documents, is licensed to practice law in Tennessee, and other attorneys with our firm who have given input into these documents may be licensed in other states.
The documents were drafted to be generally applicable throughout the United States, but if you have a question or want to be sure about your state's laws, we encourage you to consult with a local lawyer. Since you'll already have a solid contract to discuss with a local lawyer, this consult should be simple and quick, without requiring very much research or one-on-one legal time.
These documents are not, however, intended to be used by anyone outside the United States.
How do I know these documents will work for my creative business?
We wrote these documents specifically for creative entrepreneurs – online educators, coaches, podcasters, bloggers, YouTubers, designers, photographers, and other creatives. They might not work as well for a brick and mortar pizza shop or boutique, but they are already pre-customized to fit your online, creative business.
How do I actually customize my documents?
You will receive your documents by email in editable format (Word) for easy customization. You can even save your own custom versions of your legal documents to use in different scenarios or with different clients or products.
There are highlighted prompts to direct you to any text you need to fill in or change to customize the document to your specific business.
What if the law changes, will you send me new documents?
We regularly monitor federal intellectual property and advertising laws for changes, and frequently update our contract templates. We will let you know of any major changes in the law that affect your documents (such as the recent EU privacy law, GDPR, that went into effect in May 2018). If we make a major update due to a change in law, we will email you an updated version.
Can I share my document with a friend?
How are these documents different from what I can buy from LegalZoom or another contract template shop?
Unlike other contracts you can buy from LegalZoom or RocketLawyer (or any other online template shop), we wrote these documents for you based on our combined 30+ years of experience working one-on-one with businesses large and small, and our expertise supporting the best online course creators in the business through their legal challenges.
I’ve combined my top-tier legal training and experience with their hard lessons learned (and many thousands of dollars spent on my legal fees!) to create templates that are already customized for your creative business. All you have to do is fill in a few blanks, at a fraction of the price and time commitment of hiring your own lawyer.
We include as much plain English language as we can in our documents, so you actually understand what they say. While some legalese is unavoidable (and important to include for your benefit!), we use the bare minimum.
How do I use Sezzle to pay for my purchase in four equal installment payments (for products over $250)?
We offer Sezzle financing for all template purchases totaling $250 or more. This payment option allows you to pay four monthly installment payments instead of one lump sum when you purchase from our shop.
To use this option, you will start the regular check out process.
On the "payment" screen, choose Sezzle as your payment option and then click "Complete Order."
You will be redirected to Sezzle's website where you can create a new account or log into an existing account and provide Sezzle with your payment information.
Autumn is an experienced intellectual property and business lawyer who helps coaches, course creators, and online business owners reach their big goals.
Since 2015, the AWB Firm has helped side hustlers, solopreneurs, and empire builders alike protect, grow, or scale their business with confidence. You’ll never have to explain what a funnel is, how an online course is built, or what it means to your business if your FB ads account gets shut down because Autumn runs her business the same way you do.
Autumn is a firm believer that good contracts are the best legal protection that all businesses should implement, which is why she designed our contract templates to be easy-to-use and cost-effective.

Body Flight Theory—Part 1:
A Skydiving Coordinate System
By Niklas Daniel. Photos and illustrations by Niklas Daniel.
In order to fully exploit our body’s maneuvering potential in the air, we have to understand what is aerodynamically and physically possible and which underlying principles apply. This paper will eventually cover theory and application for all human flight disciplines, whether for training purposes or general inquiries.
The goal of part 1 of this paper is to establish a more elegant and convenient way to visualize body-flight movement with the purpose of creating order by introducing AXIS systems. You will be introduced to aerodynamic fundamentals and principles of a person in freefall – be it skydiving, base jumping, or flying in a vertical wind tunnel.

Caryophyllene or (−)-β-caryophyllene, is a widespread plant natural product. It is a naturally occurring bicyclic sesquiterpene that is seen as a major composition of many essential oils. This compound is found especially in the oil extracted from the stems and flowers of cloves, the essential oil of rosemary, hemp, cannabis and hops.
It is a FDA approved food additive, and is the first dietary cannabinoid; β -caryophyllene contributes to the unique fragrance linked with plant oils. It’s also highly present in African black pepper. A study in 2008 first identified caryophyllene as a cannabinoid. This study also brought to light the medicinal benefits of the compound.
Cannabinoids are a terpenophenolic compound making its sub-set of terpenes. Since cannabinoids and terpenes are related, terpenes trigger the body’s endo-cannabinoid receptors.
Anti-inflammatory – Decreases inflammation and swelling gradually.
Antibacterial – Curtails the growth of bacteria.
Neuro-protective – Restrains harm to the brain and the nervous system.
Anti-proliferative – Hinders the growth of cancerous cells.
Antidepressant – Mitigates various indicators of depression.
Antioxidant – Thwarts oxidative damage to the molecules in the body.
Analgesic – Alleviates pain.
Anxiolytic – Aids alleviate anxiety.
Relative studies on β-Caryophyllene:
As an analgesic:
A study in 2014 was conducted to identify the activity of β-Caryophyllene as an analgesic. It was found that the widespread plant volatile beta-caryophyllene (BCP) was identified as a natural selective agonist of the peripherally expressed cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2), and is found in high concentrations in many spices and food plants.
This study focused on the orally administered BCP which reduced inflammatory (late phase) pain responses in the formalin test in a CB2 receptor-dependent manner, while it had no effect on acute (early phase) responses.
In conclusion of the study, oral BCP was more effective than the subcutaneously injected synthetic CB2 agonist JWH-133; meaning that the natural plant product BCP may be highly effective in the treatment of long lasting, debilitating pain states. The results have important implications for the role of dietary factors in the progression and inflection of chronic pain conditions.
As an anti-carcinogenic:
β-Caryophyllene also seems to have a play in the role as an anti-carcinogenic constituent in essential oils. A study that focused on beta-caryophyllene that analyzed the anticancer properties of alpha-humulene, Isocaryophyllene and paclitaxel was carried out in the year 2007.
The study’s focus was on the potentiating effect of beta-caryophyllene on the anticancer activity of alpha-humulene, Isocaryophyllene and paclitaxel against MCF-7, DLD-1 and L-929 human tumor cell lines was evaluated. During the study, the intracellular buildup of paclitaxel-oregon green was determined in combination with concentrations of beta-caryophyllene ranging from 2.5 to 40 microg mL(-1).
This effect was due to beta-Caryophyllene, which significantly increased the intracellular build up to 64%. Another aspect understood during the process is that, beta-caryophyllene induced intracellular buildup of calcein but not verapamil, which is an inhibitor of P-glycoprotein.
These two constituents are multidrug resistance related protein transporters, indicating that beta-caryophyllene encourages drug accumulation by a different mechanism of action. These results indicate beta-caryophyllene allows the passage of paclitaxel through the membrane and thus potentiates its anticancer activity.
As an anti-depressant:
A study was carried out on mice to check the activity of β-Caryophyllene as a remedy to depression. It was performed to understand how β-Caryophyllene, a CB2 receptor agonist produces multiple changes in behavioral patterns in accordance to depression and anxiety seen in mice.
The aim of the research experiment carried out was to determine capabilities and actions of the CB2 receptor potent-selective agonist β-caryophyllene (BCP) in animals subjected to models of anxiolytic- and antidepressant-like effects.
These preclinical results suggest that CB2 receptors may provide alternative therapeutic targets for the treatment of anxiety and depression. Recent evidence suggests that the cannabinoid receptor subtype 2 (CB2) is in co-ordinance with anxiety and depression disorders, and the study also proved the same.

Best of the Best Awards 2009: Tourism
Tourism Honoree: Airlines Serving Arizona
It all began on a cocktail napkin more than 38 years ago. Attorney Herb Kelleher and businessman Rollin King sketched Southwest Airlines’ original route structure connecting Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, which officially created the low-fare category in the airline industry. Today, Southwest has become the nation’s largest airline in terms of domestic passengers enplaned, serving 65 airports in 33 states. Southwest provides more than just air travel to the communities it serves. By attracting new customers with low fares and high frequency, Southwest creates jobs for residents and revenue for the airports and cities it serves — a phenomenon dubbed “the Southwest Effect.” Southwest has been a maverick in the industry and a model for excellence in American business.
Guided by visionary leadership, Southwest has managed to remain profitable through some of the country’s most turbulent times.

As you know, PowerShell version 5 has been released, and with it, a number of new PowerShell features. And now, you can take advantage of these great new PowerShell v5 features in your runbooks and DSC configurations in Azure Automation!
Showing 1 – 7 of 7 posts found
We’ve developed a new, open-source tool for runbook authoring – the (take a deep breath) Azure Automation PowerShell ISE add-on!
Learn about the new PowerShell runbook type in Azure Automation, and how it can make automation across clouds and on-premises datacenters easier.
Learn the current best practices around using Azure Resource Manager functionality in Azure Automation runbooks, and plans for the future in this area.
You asked, and we answered! This week marks the release of the latest version of the Azure PowerShell module. The update includes new cmdlets for accounts, assets, and scheduled runbooks.
If you’re familiar with Azure Automation, you’re probably aware that PowerShell is the fundamental technology that makes Azure Automation great. But PowerShell itself is great due to its extensibility through PowerShell modules.
Introducing the Azure Automation Script Converter – if you import a PowerShell script with no PowerShell Workflows in it, we’ll now attempt to convert the PowerShell script for you to PowerShell Workflow, so it will be able to run with little to no manual changes as an Azure Automation runbook.
