Yesterday’s adventures in Desi Pubs was to visit the Crown and Pepper in East Croydon with Robin, Sue and Tudor.

Having been a little frustrated at the lack of mixed grills in London I was determined to have one last night and I did, so there will be a rating 🙂

The pub is nice and bigger than it looks from outside with an outside space and another bar area downstairs. There were 13 pumps, one of which was a cider and two were ales, Cobra also featured. There were at least eight screens - they were showing pool when I arrived before switching to cricket and then the Liverpool game.

The clientele was mixed to start and became progressively Asian before the football started. There were probably more people watching the football than eating, but there were some folk doing both.

The food was a little confusing and we probably ordered too much, but didn’t seem to have much left over (although I think Sue has lunch sorted for today). As well as Indian food there was also Chinese food available, we obviously ignored that as that was not the purpose of our visit. I saw a mixed grill on the menu so was fairly determined to order that, it wasn’t clear how big it was so I asked and was told it was for two people… as a starter… I ordered it anyway and everyone else ordered a starter and a main (and some naan). The starters were massive and each could have fed two people, the mains were a more sensible time. We know for next time.

The Crown and Pepper’s mixed grill was badged as an Indian Platter and cost £19.50. It consisted of 4 tandoori chicken tikka, 2 tandoori masala lamb chops, 2 lamb kebabs and 4 jeera chicken wings served on onions.

You don’t always get the lamb chops on a standard mixed grill so it did feel like a medium in number of different items but I have had bigger standard mixed grills elsewhere. For components I’ll give them 1.5 points (I am feeling generous for this category but that will not be reflected in the next categories).

The chicken tikka was nice, not the greatest and just four pieces - if I was sharing this I wouldn’t be happy. 0.5 points.

The lamb chops were only slightly better than average, lots of bone and not much meat. They get 0.5 points mainly because there were two.

The lamb kebabs were the hero product on the plate. Tudor had these for starters (four pieces). Two pieces on the mixed grill was plenty, again I would have been miffed at giving one up if sharing. They get the maximum 1 point.

The chicken wings were fine, the jeera was not that interesting. Nothing to write home, on indeed on here, about. Just 0.25 points I am afraid.

The onions were poor, there weren’t many and they didn’t have any meat juice. I was given a very small portion of minty sauce which wasn’t that exciting. The onions and condiments are sharing a point in my scoring scheme, together they can have 0.25 points here.

£19.50 was expensive for what it was, but it was London. However I am no longer a Londoner but a West Midlander so just 0.25 points for the price point.

13 pumps, including two ales, a cider and Cobra earns them the maximum 1 point for the beer side of things.

The ambiance with the screens, football, clientele and the pub being nice means they get the maximum 1 point for this section too.

The total for the Crown and Pepper is 6.25.

The Crown and Pepper is at 242 High Street, Croydon, CR0 1NF. They also have another ‘branch’ at 32 Godstone Road, Caterham, CR3 6RA.

Best Baby Hair Oils

Whenever a new year rolls around, I immediately find myself evaluating my wardrobe. What kind of pieces do I want to keep as we move into a new year, and in this case, a whole new decade? Do I get rid of some of my many black sweaters (never), or buy a new pair of cute but ultimately weather-inappropriate shoes (extremely likely)?

It makes sense to take stock of your wardrobe as a new year dawns, and why shouldn’t that extend to your kids, or even those of your friends and family? We all know someone that’s having a baby in the new year. Whether you’re shopping for your own kids or buying up some baby shower gifts, get moving on keeping the babies in your life cute and seasonally appropriate in these 12 seasonal looks from Carter’s.

This onesie is ideal for ringing in the New Year (or sleeping through it). (Photo: Carter's)

Sometimes, in order to hang with the adults, you need to be the best dressed in the room, and what’s better than wearing a onesie?

What's cooler—the hoodie, or the spikes on the hood? (Photo: Carter's)

Sweater weather is the best weather, and this sweet dinosaur cardigan is a perfect whimsical neutral for a month that moves from hot to cold in the space of minutes. Reviewers loved the texture of this sweater, noting that it was soft and lightweight enough to be a great layer.

Or??(prompt anon): after a fight, even stays with his parents for the weekend after telling Isak that he is 'going home'. Isak, who honestly is probably not familiar with the idea of a parent's house being the home away from home, thinks that even believes the apartment isn't home to him anymore. (Sorry, I'm in the mood for some angst)

Home; 1.6k[AO3]

They had had afight. It hadn’t been particularly big, but Even figured they both neededsome time to cool off separately and that was not possible in their cramped little flat.

So he had told Isak thathe was going to go crash at his parents’ for the night and he’d come backtomorrow.

It had hurt his heart,walking away from Isak like that. Theyhad agreed pretty early in their relationship not to go to bed angry, butnothing had ever been established about notgoing to bed together. Teenage temperswere hot messy things, though, and Even knew that being around each other afterthe fight would inevitably lead to more fighting and would just prolong thewhole process.

So he took initiative.

He felt calmer as soon ashe got outside, which made him feel better about his plan.

His mum had fussed themoment he walked through the door, but when he was done explaining everythingthat had happened she actually praised him for doing the right thing. It was nice to hang out with his parents; hefelt like he hadn’t seen them for ages, although he knew it was probably only afew weeks since they’d last got together.

His mum was catching himup on the gossip at her office when his phone buzzed, and Eskild’s name of all people’s was written across the top of atext. Even was going to ignore it untilIsak’s name caught his eye and he opened it quickly, remembering that Eskildwas still listed as Isak’s next of kin at the hospital.

Eskild (19.48)you left after a fight???Isak just showed up and that’s all I can get out of himtrouble in paradise?

He wasn’t sure why, butsomething about Isak going to Eskild after their fight didn’t sit right withEven.

Even (19.50)we both needed to cool down. I said I’dbe back tomorrow

Eskild (19.56)Isak seems very confusedI think you should phone himonly if you’ve calmed down though. he doesn’t seem angry now

Even frowned at his phonewhen that message came through, wondering what on earth Isak could be confusedabout. He had cooled down from their fight, though, and he didn’t want thereto be some miscommunication between him and Isak. He thought he had been clear about what hewas doing and when he was coming back, but maybe Isak hadn’t been listeningproperly?

With a sigh, Even madehis excuses to his mum and went to sit in his old room. It was currently being made into the spareroom, but in Even’s mind it would always be hisroom. He made himself comfortable on thewindowsill and pressed the call button next to Isak’s name, wondering what thisconversation had in store.

“Even?” Isak answeredafter a few rings. Even couldpractically hear the frown on Isak’sface. Even didn’t bother to beat aroundthe bush.

“Hey, Eskild said youshowed up at the kollektiv?” He couldn’t help the little chuckle that slippedout of him at Isak’s annoyed groan.

“Bloody man can’t justlet me vent in peace.” Isak huffed.

“He said you wereconfused about something? I thought Imade it pretty clear that I was going to my mum and dad’s for the night? Justthe night?” Even emphasised, expecting Isak to exhale with relief and say thathe’d thought Even was leaving him forever and he’d totally misunderstood and-

“I know.” Isak saidquietly, totally catching Even off guard.

“You…know?” Evenrepeated. “So what are you confusedabout?” It was his turn to frown now. Isak stayed quiet, and Even just knewthat if he tried to rush Isak now he’d clam up and never let out whatever wasbothering him. Isak still struggled totalk honestly about how he was feeling and his thought processes and Evendidn’t want to scare him off, but shit he just wanted to know what he had done.

“Is?” It had been a fewminutes now and Even was starting to wonder if the call had cut out. He was about to pull away from his phone tocheck the screen when he heard Isak take a breath.

“You- you said you weregoing home for the night.” Isak’s voice was so small and quiet that Even almostmissed it.

“Yeah?”

“I just- do you…do younot think of our place as home?” Isakasked after another painful minute of waiting. When the question finally came it made Even’s heart clench in his chest.

“Of course I do,baby. I didn’t mean it like that. I’m sorry if it came across like I did.” Heapologised. “But your parents’ placewill always be your home away from home, y’know?” Even realised his mistakebefore he even finished his sentence, and he wanted to slam his head againstthe wall at full force for saying something so unbelievably stupid.

“No, I don’t know.” Isaksounded like he was torn between feeling upset and feeling angry, and Even feltten times worse about sticking his foot in it. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” Before Even could react Isak hung up and he wasleft listening to dead air.

Well.

He fucked that up, didn’the?

***

Even got home aroundlunch time the next day, his temper completely cooled from their squabble butwith guilt chewing at his stomach. Hecould hear Isak moving around when he let himself in but a quick glance aroundsuggested that Isak hadn’t been home long either.

Even took a deep breathto steady his nerves before he went into the lounge, wondering how his goodlevel-headed plan had still ended up with one of them saying the wrongthing. When Isak saw Even, Even couldn’tnot notice the way his lip trembledbefore he pressed his lips together tightly and went back to changing theirsheets.

“Babe…I’m sorry. I didn’t think before I said it.” Evenapologised, once again skipping the small talk. He could see through Isak’s shirt the way his back tensed and his shouldersrose defensively.

“It was a normal thing tosay.” Isak tried to shrug it off, but his movement was too stiff for Even toever believe it was casual.

“It was, but I shouldhave remembered that you didn’t have a ‘normal’ home life.” Even made air quotemarks even though Isak had his back to him.

“No, I didn’t.” Isakagreed stiffly. Even’s heart was achingin his chest; what did he need to do or say to get through to Isak? “But it’s not for you to remember, it’s forme to live with. So let’s just forgetit.” Isak finally – finally – turnedto look at Even and the hurt look on his face cut Even like glass.

“Okay, baby, if that’swhat you want.” Even nodded. He wasn’tgoing to drag this out when it was obviously stressing his boyfriend out. Barely a second later Isak was crossing theroom and burying his face in Even’s chest, his strong arms wrapping tightlyaround Even’s waist.

And this.

This was where Even’s home was.

***

It wasn’t until they werecuddled up in bed that night that Isak finally opened up.

“I forgot.” Isak said itso quietly that Even almost missed it, just like on the phone the night before.

“Forgot?”

“I forgot that mostpeople think of their family home as homeand not somewhere to run from.” Isak’s fingered tightened in the front ofEven’s shirt, and Even figured that his boyfriend could probably feel his heartshatter in his chest at those words.

“So when you said…whatyou said, I started thinking about all the shit I probably missed out on andstuff and- I don’t know. It fucks me upthinking about that stuff.” Isak’s voice sounded suspiciously thick, but Evenknew better than to look right away.

“Family is meant to bethere for you to be that home awayfrom home, and mine isn’t but yours is and I guess I didn’t realise how muchthat bothered me until yesterday.” Isak definitely sniffed at that and Even wasdone.

“Come here.” He hauledIsak impossibly closer, pretty much dragging Isak’s sleepy body on top of hisown underneath their duvet and blankets, and framed Isak’s beautiful face withhis hands.

“Your family don’tdeserve you, Isak. I know they hurt you,and I know the way you grew up shaped who you are now, but now home is nowherenear them. Now home is right here. It’s us. It’s not walls or a roofor the postcode, it’s just us. My home is wherever we can just be. My home is always with you, because you’re the one that has myheart. And without a heart a house cannever be more than just a house.” Even couldn’t tear his eyes away from Isak’sface, mesmerised by the rush of emotions he could see flickering across thefeatures he so adored.

“You’re such a fuckingsap.” Isak laughed wetly, obviously tossing an insult at Even to deflect fromthe very real tears on his face.

“I know.” Even shruggedwith a grin. “Besides: what’s mine isyours, baby. My family loves you; they’dalways welcome you in. There’s alwaysroom for another Bech Næsheim.” Even added teasingly. The relief he felt when Isak’s face brokeinto the most beautiful soft smile was indescribable.

“I know I’m going to be aBech Næsheim one day.” Isak whispered, resting his forehead againstEven’s. “And I’ll never have to thinkabout a Valtersen home again, because I’ll be too busy making a whole new home with my husband.”

And wasn’t that a fuckingmiraculous thing to know?

Day 22 - Friday, Feb 12

Food/Drink: Coffee, Cheese, Crackers, Grapes, Apple, Focaccia, Tofu Teriyaki, Avocado Roll

Today was a lovely day of eating. In the morning I had a couple cups of coffee, one while I read and one while my class started, both with oat milk. I also put a little of a vanilla torani syrup we have in them today as a nice treat, and I forgot how good that is. For lunch I had the exact same thing as yesterday, a board with cheese and crackers, an apple, and some grapes. Then in the afternoon, I decided I wanted to bake something, so I made some focaccia out of Claire Saffitz’s Dessert Person. I’ve made focaccia several times before but hadn’t tried Claire’s recipe yet, and I was really happy with how it turned out. I did the garlic rosemary variation on it, which is a major step up from the plain ones I’ve made before. So good. For dinner, my family did out usual Friday night takeout, and we decided on Momo sushi. I got a tofu teriyaki and some avocado rolls, which was all very good.

Media: Books, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Radio

I read more of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance this morning. While I don’t immediately love it like I do some books, I find it quite intriguing and different than a lot of things I’ve read. While I had my long class I checked Instagram and Twitter a few times during breaks as we met in small groups today. Nothing particularly exciting. After class, I watched some YouTube videos during lunch and as I made the bread. The ones that I remember watching were from Food 52 and Curtis Connor. The Food 52 video was from this baking series that goes super in-depth about a specific technique or dish, this one was about pate a choux, which I’ve been wanting to try lately. I like these super in-depth videos, this one was like an hour long.

While I went to pick up the takeout for my family this evening, the radio was on to NPR, which I left on because I hadn’t been keeping up much with the impeachment trials and wanted to hear about them. It’s all so bizarre yet I’ve just gotten numb to it and I feel like I don’t even have a reaction to it anymore. It was also nice to just got on a brief drive, I haven’t left the house at all in a while. I can’t wait for the weather to get better and get out more again. We also found out my Aunt is likely going to come stay with us for a while, which will be so nice to have another person for a while.

Purchases: Momo Sushi

The typical Friday night takeout this week was from Momo Sushi. While I didn’t pay for it, lucky me, my total came to $19.50, which feels like so much. Definitely not something I would do for myself. My favorite thing about today’s takeout was honestly the lack of dishes, after I already had to do a bunch from baking today.

Blender For Mac Torrent

There’s more reason than ever to check out Blender, and with Danny Mac’s list of essential addons, this free software could become your go-to choice!

Blender For Mac Torrent Downloader

Blender For Mac Torrent Kickass

Blender For Mac Torrent Software

Danny's Youtube

Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, video editing and 2D animation pipeline. Blender for Mac OS X - Download Notice. Using Blender for Mac OS X Free Download crack, warez, password, serial numbers, torrent, keygen, registration codes, key generators is illegal and your business could subject you to lawsuits and leave your operating systems without patches. We do not host any torrent files or links of Blender for Mac OS X on rapidshare.com, depositfiles.com, megaupload.

Introduction

This year I made the jump from Maya to Blender and have been completely blown away by how powerful this free software actually is. My initial impression was that in areas where Blender falls shorts against other 3D apps, which in some cases it does, I can forgive it since it excels in others. That was before I discovered the world of Blender Addons. The abundance of addons not only fill the gaps found within vanilla Blender, they put the software above and beyond any I’ve used to date.

1. Node Wrangler (free - ships with Blender)

The second I discovered Node Wrangler I knew jumping over to Blender was a good idea… It’s incredible! Managing nodes with this addon is such a nimble experience. My favorite feature is that with a single click you can see how each node is affecting the model, which is incredibly useful for debugging the network. It would be difficult to explain all the different features here so I would encourage anybody reading this to check out the link where they are illustrated and explained. You won’t need to download it though, since it ships with Blender by default. You just need to turn it on in the user preferences.

2. TexTools (free)

One of my initial gripes about Blender was that the UV tools were lacking compared to other 3D apps. It hadn’t previously occurred to me that there’s probably an addon to improve that. TexTools is a very powerful UV solution adding over 40 functions to the existing UV toolset, some of which I’ve never seen before. On top of this it is also a powerful baking tool and Color ID generator. Oh, and it’s free! Again, I couldn’t explain all the features here so I would urge you to check out the link for more information.

3. Gaffer (free / $19.95)

Gaffer fills a hole in Blender’s default toolset in the form of a Light Manager and is a very nice compliment to the Pro Lighting Studio addon mentioned later in this article (though it’s great by itself!). Gaffer groups all your lights into one manageable UI along with all the important settings, speeding up your lighting workflow enormously. It also has a HDRI manager that allows you to quickly cycle through your HDRI’s and filter them based on tags. As with most things Blender the developer has kindly made it available for free but requests you buy it if you find it useful (which you will). Watch the demo to truly see what this addon is capable of!

Blender For Mac Torrent Downloader

4. Pie Menus (free - ships with Blender) + Pie Menu Editor ($16)

Pie menus are essentially radial menus you find in Maya, making it easier to learn Blender if you’re coming from a Maya background. The nice thing about the pie menus is that it brings menu items to your cursor as opposed to the other way around. As with Maya, once you learn where each of these items sit you can access them very quickly with a simple hand gesture. Alternatively, you might prefer to build your own custom pie menu to reach the tools you use the most.

If you wanted to create a custom pie menu it’s not too difficult to do with Python – Blender offers a template script to get you started. However, this does of course require some Python knowledge so I’ve included a link to a neat addon called Pie Menu Editor which presents a much more user-friendly way to do it.

5. Retopoflow 2.0 (free / $86)

Retopoflow is designed specifically for retopology and is such a feature rich and polished addon it feels more like a separate app altogether. Having been in development for several years it has some incredibly powerful functions, such as adjusting the topology with Bezier curves after it has been laid down, or automatically filling in big gaps with polygons. If you’ve seen my retopology tutorials you’ll know for the past 5 years I’ve favored 3D-Coat for retopology, but Retopoflow has completely blown it out of the water. Again, I don’t have enough space to do it justice here so watch the demonstration and you’ll see what I mean. It’s free, but you can also buy it here to support the creator.

The awesome thing about this auto-rigger is that it isn’t just restricted to humanoid models; you can rig all sorts of complex creatures with it

6. Auto Rig Pro ($19.50 - $40)

As someone that likes to take as many shortcuts as I can when it comes to rigging, Auto Rig Pro is a godsend. It behaves in a similar way to the Mixamo auto-rigger in that you place markers on a few regions of the body and the addon will place the skeleton inside the body automatically – and it’s usually very accurate. Of course, the benefit of using Blender over Mixamo is that it utilizes Blender’s existing toolset, giving you a lot more control over the rig. The awesome thing about this auto-rigger is that it isn’t just restricted to humanoid models; you can rig all sorts of complex creatures with it!

7. GoB (free)

If you saw my previous article 10 ZBrush plugins I love, and why you’ll know GoB is a must for anybody that uses ZBrush alongside Blender. GoB is an unofficial version of GoZ for Blender which will allow you to transfer all of your models and textures between ZBrush and Blender with just a button click. Unfortunately, it is not yet backed by Pixologic and consequently can be a little fickle. That said, it’s a major improvement over manually exporting and importing.

8. Hair Net (free)

An area I feel Blender falls short compared to other 3D apps is its hair system. A key feature of a hair system such as XGen in Maya is the ability to create guide hairs from other modes such as geometry or curves, which Blender can’t do by default. The Hair Net addon allows you to convert geometry, curves or fibers from ZBrush into guide hairs that Blender understands, making it a must for anyone that wants realistic style hair in Blender.

9. Pro Lighting Studio ($127)

This one is a little expensive but well worth the price in my opinion. Setting up lighting can take time and this addon dramatically reduces that by providing over 150 preset light rigs and 49 HDRs for you to cycle through. The rigs will automatically scale and orient to suit your model but this can be adjusted to your heart’s content. Pair this up with the Gaffer addon and you have yourself an extremely powerful lighting setup. On top of all the lighting options you also get a choice of floors and backgrounds which are easily editable for presenting your models. Highly recommended.

10. Danny Mac Eye Designer ($29)

Okay, I’m clearly biased with this one but a tool I developed specifically for my needs is bound to make my top 10. The Eye Designer is a versatile add-on that allows for quick and easy creation of great looking eyes. The addon is designed to be as simple as possible, putting the modeling, iris shading and cornea shading onto an array of simple sliders. There’s also a handful of fake specular highlights for times when you just need that extra pop. Check out the demo where I go through all the different properties available.

Bowers on collecting: The latest book update

By Q. David Bowers

As you read these words I am immersed in writing a book for Whitman about the numismatic world from 1932 to date. In that year the world was in the depth of the Depression, and in America, many would consider the year and the beginning of the next to represent the point when the economy touched bottom. Elected president in November, Franklin D. Roosevelt was to effect changes that would have far-reaching implications on numismatics, especially areas involving gold coins. The American Numismatic Association was to see few changes during the year, except for a slight drop in membership. The Numismatist continued to represent the association to the average member, as only a very small percentage of individuals ever attended the annual conventions. The usual format of the publication, under the editorship of Frank G. Duffield, of Baltimore, continued, serving up a miscellaneous mixture of articles, fillers, reprinted newspaper articles, and other items. They were not arranged in any particular order, with little editorial commentary inserted, and with little or nothing in the way of lead-ins to tie an installment with that in a previous issue, for the enlightenment of new readers. It seemed to be time for a new occupant in the editor’s chair, but this was not to happen soon. Club news was carried in detail, and each issue offered numerous pages of dealer advertisements.

In 1932 the Washington quarter made its debut with production at the Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco mints. It was intended to be a one-year commemorative issue honoring the 200th anniversary of the first president’s birth, but the design became the standard and in various modifications has been continued to the present day. There was hardly any interest in investing in coins, so quantities were not saved. Years later the branch mint coins became highly prized and priced as key issues in Mint State.

America’s leading dealer continued to be B. Max Mehl, who had started in business in 1900. In the January 1933 issue of The Numismatist he proclaimed that he had spent $17,500 for a coin advertisement on Sunday, January 8, 1933—a four-color advertisement appearing in six million copies of various Hearst Sunday newspapers. He offered the Star Rare Coin Encyclopedia for sale for a dollar—a guide listing the prices he would pay, including $50 for a Liberty Head nickel minted in 1913 (an offer later upped to $500). Today as you read these words that particular nickel has been well documented. Only five are known to exist. In 1996 I was the auctioneer that sold the specimen in the Louis Eliasberg Collection—the first coin to ever cross the million-dollar mark.

In 1933, Barney Bluestone, of Syracuse, New York, announced that he would be selling at auction the collection of the late Dr. George P. French, of Rochester. Earlier French had sold the crème de la crème of his collection, his cabinet of large cents, to B. Max Mehl for a reported $50,000, and Mehl had, in turn, distributed the coins by means of a fixed price list. Ambrose J. Brown, of Marblehead, Massachusetts, offered various United States coins for sale at fixed prices, the most expensive of which was a Very Fine 1868 $3 piece at $6.50. Brown was to remain a prominent mail-order coin seller for decades thereafter. M.H. Bolender, of Orangeville, Illinois, advised readers of his forthcoming 80th auction sale, while J.C. Morgenthau & Co., New York City, solicited consignments for its own sales, noting that the pieces were cataloged by Wayte Raymond and J.G. Macallister, “men who know their business.”

William Rabin, a Philadelphia dealer, offered bulk quantities of common issues of various denominations, all coins in Good grade, except gold coins which were Fine. There were no grading standards in place at the time, and “Good” and “Fine” meant “nice,” or desirable to own. A group of 10 gold dollars could be had from Rabin for $20, the same number of $3 pieces could be purchased for $47.50, and the following were his prices for groups of 100 specimens: half dollars before 1840 $60, quarter dollars before 1840 $45, 20-cent pieces $50, dimes before 1840 $20, nickel three-cent pieces $6, two-cent pieces $4.25, large cents $5, Flying Eagle cents $5, copper-nickel cents $2.50, and half cents $19.50. John Zug offered quarter dollars for sale, including a Proof 1796 for $50 and a Very Fine example of the same date for $20, a Proof 1825 for $12.50, Proof examples of 1856 and 1857 for $3.50 each, and an Uncirculated 1878-CC for $1.25. A Proof Isabella quarter was priced at $3.50, and an Uncirculated example was listed for $1.50.

A. French, of Garden City, New York, offered gold and other coins for sale. This was the trade name of Arline French, the wife of Charles French, a coin dealer, who traded under his wife’s name. Both had changed their last name from Lehrenkraus to French after Charles had a dispute with the law in 1935, was convicted for fraud in the real estate market and had spent some time in Sing Sing Prison in Upstate New York. C. (Charles) E. Green of Chicago, Illinois offered a booklet for sale, Mint Records of U.S. Coins 1793-1931, Inclusive, which listed the number of pieces struck of all United States coins. Numerous facts given were not available in any other current publication. Lee F. Hewitt, also of Chicago, advised that he would be selling a collection of United States coins by mail auction on February 15. Hewitt would go on to great fame in the numismatic hobby with the launching of the Numismatic Scrapbook Magazine in 1935.

The above gives you an idea of what to expect. There is a lot more to come! Tune in to the Whitman website to find publication and availability details. Or check it right now for many interesting titles, including dozens of my books.

A few years back my parents and I undertook a mammoth road trip around Scotland – it was incredible but looking back, we endeavoured to take in a bit too much in the time we had, meaning we didn’t get to spend much time in each place.

Hence this time, when my boyfriend and I looked to do another Scottish Road Trip, we decided to try to take our time a little bit. In some ways, we definitely managed this and in others, completely failed. As the title suggests, this trip was done on somewhat of a budget – travelling in the UK isn’t cheap and we had just been to Croatia, plus a few other big trips in the year (Portugal/Belgium/York), so we had to tighten our belts.

Saying that, I don’t think we particularly missed out on anything and still managed to see so much of the incredible Scottish scenery that we had been hankering after. I’m actually going to split this trip into three posts as there’s quite a lot to cover and I’m not sure anyone would make it through a post that long.

ROAD TRIP ITINERARY

Our schedule for this trip looked like this:

Day 1

Early flight from London City to Edinburgh

Train from Edinburgh to Inverness

Drive from Inverness to Invergarry

Day 2

Day trip from Inverness to Glen Coe

(via the Glenfinnan Viaduct)

Day 3

Drive from Inverness to John O’Groats

Day 4

Explore John O’Groats

Day 5

Drive back to Inverness via Dunrobin Castle

Flight back to London

DAY 1: LONDON TO INVERNESS

It still blows my mind to think that on Day 1, when we travelled all the way from East London to Inverness, we used 6 methods of transport. SIX! We got up early, leaving the house at about 6am to walk to the tube, to get to City airport for 7am ahead of our 9am flight.

We booked this flight using my British Airways air miles, which really had its perks (otherwise in all honesty, I don’t know if we would fly due to cost – we probably would have taken the train). For one thing, we got to fly from City airport which I’d never done before and was incredibly excited about: being able to get from door to door to the airport in less than an hour genuinely blew my mind a little bit as most ‘London’ airports aren’t actually in London. Gatwick for example, is 24 miles away.

Also, as City airport is small, a lot of people I know who travel from there regularly tend to arrive about 45 minutes before their flight is about to leave, as according to them you can just ‘walk’ through security as its so empty. This wasn’t something we got to experience as we were travelling during the extinction rebellion protests and so the airport was in high security mode, meaning everyone was checked at least three times before being allowed anywhere near a plane, which surprise surprise took a bit of time. Just to be clear, I had no issue with this – we actually always tend to get everywhere much earlier than needed just in case because we’re aware that if we miss a flight/train, its unlikely we’ll be able to afford to pay for another!

The flight itself was super short and we were landed in Edinburgh with our bags by 1030. From there, we caught the tram into the city centre (which takes about 30 minutes) and had 2 hours before our train to Inverness.

Now, I know what you’re thinking – 2.5 hours?! I thought you said you planned this so you had more time in each place? Well, yes – Edinburgh wasn’t actually part of the plan. All of the flights to Inverness through British Airways were at odd times, and the train journey from Edinburgh to Inverness is known to be scenic, so we decided to incorporate it into the trip.

Also, Edinburgh isn’t a cheap place to stay, so the idea of being able to explore the city a bit without paying the extortionate cost of a hotel was quite an attractive offer. Of course, 2.5 hours isn’t enough time to truly explore and get to know a city but we had both been before (me many times to visit my best friend Hamilton, who used to live there), so it was just nice to have a wander really!

EDINBURGH WANDERING

Whilst in Edinburgh, we walked up to the castle to see the view from the top of the hill, and have a look at the castle, but didn’t go in. It costs £19.50 and seeing as we wouldn’t have a long time there to really make the most of it, it didn’t seem worth it.

We then walked down to the gorgeous Victoria Street (my personal favourite in the city), to wander around the independent boutiques, in particular my most treasured print shop – the Red Door Gallery.

I’ve mentioned this place a million times before but its somewhere I really recommend – they do amazing prints and souvenirs from local artists, all at an affordable price. I can’t go in there and not buy something (not that my aim is to hold back).

This time we got this beer print, which as East Londoner hipsters obsessed with ale/good beer, was perfect for us.

After wandering around there for a bit (and with beer on the brain), we fancied a drink. My friend Hamilton had recommended Paradise Palms to us, so we wandered in that direction via Greyfriars Bobby because you can’t visit Edinburgh and not rub Bobby’s nose for luck.

Paradise Palms is a cool hangout that does great vegan food and is also a record store. It was the perfect place to chill out before a bit before walking back to the station to catch the train to Inverness.

We left for Edinburgh on a Friday morning, so it was Friday early afternoon when we got to the bar – I won’t lie, at this point it felt a bit like we had skipped work for the day; ordering a pint at lunchtime midweek had a certain thrill to it.

EDINBURGH TO INVERNESS TRAIN

We got the 250pm train from Edinburgh, which stopped at Stirling at 332pm, taking roughly 3.5 hours in total and cost £30.45 each with a railcard. The scenery is beautiful although obviously we only got a few hours of it due to the sun going down.

Seat reservation was not possible for the journey which was a shame, because unsurprisingly as a Friday evening service, it was very busy and not quite the relaxing journey I had imagined as we were a bit crammed in.

Nevertheless it got us to Inverness – from there we took a taxi to Inverness Airport and collected a hire car, to drive to our accommodation (via a supermarket stop to stock up for breakfast and lunch the next day).

I’ll go into our accommodation in more detail in the next post but I must say, it was incredible. In fact, one of the best places I have ever stayed. It’s almost so good, I don’t want to recommend it.

It was called Balnagown Estates – we had a small but perfectly formed cottage in the grounds of the estate, which was only £130 for two nights (£65 each). They offer free bike hire, a games room, use of the observation tower and they even breed Scottish Wildcats, which you are allowed to go and take a look at (from a safe distance!)

After an incredibly long day, I cannot describe how nice it was to sit down with a beer in the cottage ready for our exciting plans in the days to come. Now, I realise I started this post by saying ‘We wanted to make sure we had enough time in each place’ and spent very little time in both Edinburgh (only 2.5 hours)/ Inverness (about an hour, on the way to Balnagown), but I can say now that day 1 was the only one as mental as this… Kind of.

Four Tips for Travelling in the UK on a budget

Check if you’re eligible for a railcard. Both Fred and I have 26-30 railcards, which can be used to get 30% off rail fares. This also includes off peak tube journeys – just show your railcard to a TFL worker inside a station and they should be able to add the railcard onto your oyster card.

Book trains ahead of time. National Rail has a cheap fare finder which is very helpful with this.

Buy from bigger supermarkets like Aldi, Lidl and Asda when you have the chance.

Use air miles – I get mine through my credit card and tend to use them once a year for shorter trips. They also sometimes do special offers such as seat upgrades and free seats for a partner (as I will mention in the third part of this series on road tripping Scotland on a budget).

Grazing At Paddock On Crown, Surry Hills

Looking for somewhere to eat over the Christmas break? This surprising cafe on busy Crown Street in Surry Hills has an front, indoor and outdoor courtyard section. On the back of rave reviews from friends we had to check it out one Sunday morning - with our four legged friend Mochi of course. And did we mention that it is dog friendly?

"Nobody eat until all the food arrives," says a girl at another large table. Another one tells her friends about her life as an influencer and how she works with brands. What I'm trying to say is that the food at Paddock on Crown attracts a visual crowd. That is, it's very photogenic.

APMG $8

We start our brunch with a smoothie for Mr NQN. The APMG has apple pineapple, ginger and mint smoothie which has a good level of natural sweetness.

Benny Blini Your Way $19.50

The food comes out quickly and service is also prompt and friendly. The blini is a large, thick, soft blini topped with wilted kale, hollandaise and folds of smoked salmon (there is a choice of mixed mushrooms, smoked salmon or ham hock). I like the slight sweetness of the blini with the smoked salmon and poached eggs.

Mae Bae $16.50

We are both big fans of the Mae Bae which is a bacon and egg roll with mac n cheese, chorizo slices, coleslaw, house made barbecue sauce on a very soft, toasted brioche bun. It's saucy and delicious with just the right ratio of filling to bun and the house barbecue sauce that pulls it all together is delicious.

Fluffy Pancakes $18

The fluffy pancakes is actually one thick, spongy pancake although you can order additional pancakes for $4 each. There's a choice between ube (purple sweet potato) or vanilla ice cream. On top of the pancake is vanilla mascarpone, raspberry coulis, whipped maple butter and a huge scoop of ube ice cream. They're very generous with the maple syrup which is nice and Mr NQN adores this pancakes for that and the amount of fruit on it too.

Acai Mango frappe $8 and chai latte $4.20

Because it's dog friendly as well as quite large and therefore quite easy to get a table if you come a bit before lunchtime, we return the following weekend to try a bit more. For Mr NQN it's the Acai Mango smoothie which has just the right amount of sugar in it. For me, it's a chai latte which is also good.

Vongole Angel Hair Pasta $23.50

The vongole pasta has a good amount of spicy passata with clams, cherry tomatoes, parsley and truffle cheese that is quite light on the truffle. Still it's a sizeable dish that is equal parts pretty and satisfying.

Dead Bird Burger $18.50

I had been eyeing off the dead bird burger before because I adore fried chicken. This is a super moist and tender buttermilk chicken fillet with tomato and lettuce. It is topped with onion rings, a sweet pickle, jalapeno aioli and chips on the side. The chicken fillet itself is so tender but I think I would have loved a bit more heat or chilli in the sauce.

There's no dessert this time but only because we know that we'll be back for more!

So tell me Dear Reader, are you working or on your Christmas break? Are you eating out much while you're on holidays?

These meals were independently paid for.

509 Crown St, Surry Hills NSW 2010 Open 8am–4pm, 7 days a week Phone: (02) 8399 2827

Crotch Charms Are The Latest Fashion Trend Which Nobody Asked For

Sponsored by AMA News

Just before you start to get too comfortable with 2018, let me introduce to you something which will prove that this year may just be the weirdest yet (and we’re only a week in).

No, I am not talking about Donald Trump‘s latest tweet – although it certainly set the bar low for the forthcoming year – and no, it is not related to the Kardashian clan, but their continued silence surrounding Kylie Jenner’s supposed pregnancy is certainly strange. Instead, I am talking about crotch charms. For those unfamiliar with the latest fashion fad, let me explain. Crotch charms are small, relatively discreet pieces of jewelry which you afix to the crotch area of your bikini bottoms.

Once in place, the dainty chain dangles between your legs making sure that your private parts are the focus of everyone’s attention at the beach – thus, a quality bikini wax is recommended before you commit to wearing them. Created by BoDivas, a Japanese brand based in Tokyo, the crotch charm has had mixed reviews. “This is as dumb as it gets,” wrote one unimpressed user online, while another typed: “Any woman with this rubbing against sensitive skin is not going to be healthy there. Gross. And obviously a demented man’s idea.” Others were quick to make jokes about the product, which they likened to a “stray tampon string”, with one user simply writing: “No need for these – for decades now, many of us ladies have been wearing our own lucky ‘charms’ one week of each month. Silly trend.”

Meanwhile, the seemingly inoffensive crotch charms provoked an angry debate online with those who dragged the fun fashion item into a discussion on feminism. “Once again ladies trying so hard to draw the attention of men towards that angle and when men come calling they cry sexism. Alright guys quickly let’s hang beads from our ding dongs and make things even,” wrote one ignorant user. The “sexy charms for [the] bikini crotch” are being marketed as “classy” and “very original” pieces of jewelry by BoDivas, who encourage buyers to wear them on their thongs, panties, and shorts too. The chain hangs down between the legs by three inches, ensuring that they’re visible to everyone from a variety of different angles. Priced between $19.50 and $22.50, they’re not quite the cheap Christmas-cracker prize that they look. BoDivas sell a variety of other erotic products on their website, including nipple chains, nipple clips and a ‘Ladies Clip’ which is inserted directly into the vagina and worn like the crotch charm.

Despite the attention that the crotch charms have attracted online, no review of the product has yet been left. However, it would appear that the general consensus is that they’re completely unnecessary and unlikely to ever become a mainstream accessory. Credit where credit is due to BoDiva for creating such a product. It takes true ingenuity to come up with something so strange. So there you have it, 2018 is officially the strangest year on record and it is only about to get worse. What will they come up with next? A fidget spinner which you attach to your private region? Is it time for us to retreat to our bunker with some tinned food? It’s been nice knowing you, folks!

Hi Everyone

I received my October Glossybox week before last but had not got a chance to go through the contents properly until now. Glossybox is a monthly beauty subscription box which costs £10.00 (plus p&p) per month and 3, 6 & 12 monthly subscriptions are also available.

Five personalised beauty products are included each month which are normally sent wrapped in pink tissue paper with a black bow in the signature pink Glossybox but this month is one of the collector’s edition boxes – two different versions available this month; the Unicorn or the Mermaid – I received the Unicorn box – which is beautiful. You can sign up through my referral link here if you want and then you will get 20% off your first box when you subscribe.

Included in this months box is the usual product / beauty information card and the following five products:

Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Mermaids VS Unicorns – Full Size £4 – not really a fan of Makeup Revolution eye shadows so although nice to get a full size palette and colours do look quite nice not going to use as going to give to my niece who I know will be v happy to get it;

Sleek Crème to Powder Blush in Gerbera (3.5g) Full Size £5.99 – v happy to see a Sleek product included as have rediscovered a number of Sleek products recently and also recently tried their lip pencils for the first time and love them (I intend to do a separate post on Sleek products I love v soon). A beautiful black palette with built-in mirror – very similar to Nars packaging and v good quality but a lot more reasonably priced. Initially this colour looks very bright (orange / coral colour) but as it is a creamy formula it is very easy to blend as long as you do not use too much product – does give a lovely colour to the skin with a beautiful finish. Impressed with this blush, number of different colours available online, and also love the packaging and definitely worth the price;

Kawaii Enterprise Brush Cleansing Egg Full Size £7.99 – this is cute and you just need to pop fingers inside the ‘egg’, wet brush and add a dash of liquid soap swirl brushes over the small nodules at top to lather and then remove the foam and product build up by running bristles down the deeper grooves which is also supposed to realign the brush hairs without damaging them – I have tried a few times and does work well and useful to have but would not be rushing out to purchase again as I find the small mat I got with my beauty blender cleanser is handier and works just as well, if not better-though still nice to get another full size item;

Lord & Berry Magic Brown Perfect Eye Brow Pencil (deluxe sample) Full Size is £14 – I love lipsticks from this brand and this pencil looks the right colour for my eyebrows ‘brunette’ and is quite creamy does not ‘drag’ too much – however I am unable to try yet as only got my ‘micro blading’ done 10 days ago (intend to post a review about it shortly) and cannot use any makeup products on my brows for 14 days – however will try then and if I think it is good will do a separate review;

Bang Beauty Multi Purpose Cream Color in Dolce Pink (can be used as a Blusher, eyeshadow, highlighter & lip product) – Full Size £19.50 – Never heard of this brand before and this is another Full Size item so Glossybox are spoiling us this month. I initially was a bit surprised that Glossybox included two blushes but as this can also be used a number of ways not too disappointed, although would still have prepared a different makeup item. It has a lovely creamy consistency, is a beautiful rose gold/pink colour, does look well as a blusher and can be used on the lips and eyes but as it is not very pigmented think it is better as just a blush or highlighter – it is lovely applied on top of the Sleek blush as well. It also feels a bit sticky when applied to the eyelids / lips but looks and feels ok just under the eyebrows. Although a quite good natural blush and packaging is nice, I do not think it is worth £19.50 – I definitely would not purchase at this price – however still happy was included and was nice to try.

This box is good value and it was nice to receive four full size items plus one deluxe sample this month (states brow pencil is full size on card but full size comes with a brush on one end). I will also use four out of the five products which is better than a number of previous boxes. Although I do feel that it would have been even better if Glossybox had included a different makeup item instead of two blush type products. As usual we also got a sneak peek of one product which we will receive in the November box (below). As I said in the October Roccabox review I have been considering which monthly beauty box / boxes to cancel for a while but overall I am happy with Glossybox this month and as I am able to get next months box free, (have enough points to redeem – takes a while now) I will see what all the December boxes are like before I decide.

*SPOILER* – November Sneak Peek – states this contour brush has incredibly soft short bristles for seamless contouring, highlighting and blending so makeup becomes a second skin. Love trying different brushes so hopefully this one will be good.

In addition you can currently purchase a Limited Edition Beauty Case for £59.99 (free p&p & worth over £270), while stocks last – love the look of the reusable case although I see I already have a number of the items but as it is fantastic value I may still just have to get one (photo below).

Look forward to any comments you may have – if you have received this month’s box would love to know what you thought.

If you are not already a follower would love you to follow my blog too – would mean a lot. I intend to have more posts up tomorrow and I am also going to do an Octobers favourites post as well, it will be up tomorrow or Wednesday.

Hope you all have a fantastic week and a lovely relaxing break if you are off.

Thank you and take care.

Best Wishes Liz x

Panda’s are cute, but I’m not trying to be one..

.. Omg, how cute! No, this GIF may have just made me want to be a panda a slightly bit more.

You obviously know where I’m going with this post - panda eyes! Otherwise known as, dark circles, bags or I-didn’t-sleep-last-night-can-you-tell-by-my-eyes, etc, etc, etc.

I personally suffer from the worst dark circles but due to unfortunate genetics and vitamin deficiencies, it’s not something an extra hour in bed can fix. This is where makeup is my saviour. I’ve created the perfect, flawless under-eye routine which covers all nasties I have going on.

Step 1: Hydrate! Inside, out.

Hydrate your inner:

I can’t stress waters importance. Water is going to be a babe for anyone wanting to sort ANY skin issue. In particular water helps reduce dark circles by flushing toxins out of the body which will depuff the eyes and ultimatley make your skin look healthy and glowy. Water is especially important in the morning. A glass of warm (yes, warm) water is the key to starting your day well - it has a million-and-one benefits, weightloss being one. Shed pounds and clear your skin? Two birds, one stone yaaaaaas.

Now to hydrate the outer, an eye cream/gel:

I use the Elderflower Unperfumed Eye Gel from The Body Shop (£8, purchase here). Pop this in the fridge overnight, when you wake up apply a thin layer under the eyes. Since it’s chilled, it’s effects will be amplified - it’ll be cooling, refreshing and instantly depuff.

I prefer a gel over an eye cream as it’s oil content is less, which makes it absorb quicker (because aint nobody got time fo waiting for thick creams to soak in at 8am when you’re trying to rush out for uni, ugh.) and when it comes to applying makeup it’ll not slip-and-slide. But, gels do still have the same hydrating effect of a cream, which when applying numerous layers of makeup is insanely imporant so that the under-eye does not look heavy nor caked-up.

Step 2: Ashyness is the devil.

Orange is the new black. Literally. Out with the black circles, hello orange undereyes.

Orange is going to be your best friend - to us brown-skinned ladies anyway, to my gorgeous pale-skinned girls, salmon is the colour for you! Find ANYTHING orange and slap it on - we’ve all seen girls using lipstick to correct, perfect, if it works for you go ahead boo. But whatever you do, you can’t forget to correct.

My three personal faves (hashtag not spons by MAC, although I wish - hey MAC, need a promo? lol).

1) MAC Pro-longwear concealer shade: NW30, (£18. Purchase here)

2) MAC studio-finish concealer shade: NW35, (£16, Purchase here) and

3) MAC Prep+Prime highlight pen in peach lustre (£19.50. Purchase here).

Notice how all the shades are NW. This is because in MAC’s shade-range NW is neutral-warm, meaning the undertones are more-so pink/orange rather than the NC other which is neutral-cool which is yellow-toned.

I am normally NC42-ish (slightly darker but MAC don’t do my perfect shade ugh), but with colour correcting I ALWAYS go NW. Remember this if you’re buying a MAC concealer to correct with!

I’m sure we all know, but correcting basically blocks out the darkness. It’ll create a barrier between your skin and your concealer so when it’s applied it doesn’t turn ashy and grey.

Step 3: Finally, the actual concealer.

A slightly empty one on the end there, clearly my fave.

My concealer collection is a little ott - like I said before, I suffer severe darkness so I’m always trying new things in search of the best. I’ve got it down to three of my all time go to’s.

In third place) Urban Decay Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer (£17.50, purchase here). Honestly one of my faves. It has amazing coverage without being heavy or cakey under the eye, literally does as the name says - weightless with complete coverage. Lasts all day long without creasing, doesn’t oxidise or fade during the day either. So perfect!

Second up) Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer (£22.50, purchase here). Again, one of my true-loves. Has very similar qualities to the Urban Decay. Very nice full-coverage, blends like a dream, lasts well throughout the day. Only thing which annoys me is this finishes sooooo quickly - for £22 I’m not sure I can fork out for one every few months!

My number one baby) Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer (£7.99 purchase here). Cheap and cheerful. Honestly my forever repurchase. So comparable to the above two - amazing coverage, blends, stays. Perfection! Nothing will compare in price and quality in my eyes. Only shitty thing is the shade range - legit only two colours! I use ‘Nude’ which would normally be too light but with the colour correcting step prior it applys beautifully and gives a hightighted effect.

Step 4: Set all your hard-work in place

Now that you’ve got all those creams down, it’s ideal to set with a powder.

Loose: Good for baking under the eye - good for special occasions, photographs, long-lasting purposes. I use the RCMA No colour powder (£11.95, purchase here - QUICKLY). I write QUICKLY because this product sells out like no other, its limited one per customer and all, I need to buy a backup whilst its still in stock! This powder is insane - so comparable to high end powders. It’s so soft and finely milled - it glides onto the skin and sets without looking dry or changing the colour of the products under it, baso doesn’t dull the highlighted-ness. It also fills in the pores and any fine lines in my opinon! All whilst no flashblack, creasing during the day or greyness. My forever fave, love u.

Pressed: Good for on the go, light day-to-day wear, blotting oil. I personally prefer loose opposed to pressed for under my eye, however, if I’m in a rush I don’t have the patience for the messy-ness of loose powder, I love how you can effortlessly swirl this on with a fat brush and you’re good. More often I like using a translucent pressed powder like the MAC Blot Powder (£21, purchase here), as it doesn’t change the colour of the concealer - just sets.

When I’m feeling extra fancy and highlighty I set with a yellow-toned powder to emphasise the brightness. My two faves are Studio Fix by MAC in Nc42 (£22, purchase here) and the NYX Highlight and Contour pro single in Cream (£3.25, purchase here), honestly both are so comparable in terms of the shade and finish - the only difference is the price. I’d opt for the NYX, personally. It sets and adds just a tint of yellow. This looks super pretty under photography as it makes your undereye look that slightly bit brighter and Kim Kardashian-esque.

All done, even though I’m still a panda under it all, I’m a slightly more fab one now, hehe.

What do you do to cover your circles?! Let me know your routines!

love, sabrina x

Satomi Ishihara is cute.

It's the housewife's part that pharmacists say they have a good salary.

There are not many regular employees.

Or if you have a pharmacist's head, it would be better if you were a master and went to a manufacturer at a university with a good science background.

Because of what saying like these, excellent pharmacists with new graduates are flowing to drugstores these days.

It seems that drugstores and coronas will also increase sales and that extra bonuses will be issued.

A pharmacy that want to have fun with may still be good, but the person who works as a hospital pharmacist without going to the manufacturer is seriously horrible.

There are a lot of deficits in hospitals.

A university or Zara who does not pass the acceptance rate of 50% by making it possible to make a slave year that seems to be unacceptable by imitation.

>>39

It used to be like that in the old days, but nowadays hospitals are also outpatient prescriptions, and when working at a hospital and at a pharmacy, there is too much difference in work, so a different concept is the mainstream.

42: 2020/08/03 (Monday) 13:18:42.37 ID: zXzvC5Mxp.net.

Do you not promote from there?.

52: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 13:21:17.30 ID:HFJXifind.net.

>>50

It depends on the company and the location.

In rural areas, there are some places that will eventually reach around 9 million.

56: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 13:22:19.50 ID:JhYGwneBa.net.

>>42

If you don't have a position, you can't go up.

Like a store manager or an area manager.

65: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 13:25:16 ID:AqABNh+3H.net.

>>42

On the contrary, since it is possible to go up to the top, 7 millionth place will go while young.

53: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 13:21:23.90 ID:ZxZ38w6Tp.net.

Because pharmacists in large hospitals are usually narrow gates, it may be more difficult than pharmaceutical development.

58: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 13:22:23.07 ID:HFJXifind.net.

>>53

Yi has dropped the pharmacy department at a university hospital.

61: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 13:24:13 ID:ZxZ38w6Tp.net.

'll do best, and 'll get results and be pulled out to the university.

62: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 13:24:59 ID:rK/oL/iD0.net.

A pharmacist is a hospitality business. It's hell when a guy who isn't a hospitality business does it.

67: 2020/08/03 (Mon) 13:26:21.32 ID:3vRAjamUa.net.

>>62

Moreover, the customers who are different from the ordinary hospitality business are sick and some of them are crazy and are going to the hospital.

Gift ideas for husband on the anniversary

Gift ideas for husband on the anniversary – the best way to show him you love him

Garbage that takes out itself, washing dishes with the power of the mind, the remote control that is able to put your wife on , mute” and socks that fly automatically into the basket with dirty laundry. These would be the nicest gifts you can offer to your husband on the anniversary. These would be among the most beautiful gifts for husband. If you ask him. But as the technology still exists, you, YOU who have said YES to good and bad, have to rely on more realistic birthday gifts. But easy to say, hard to do, especially as after 10 years of marriage that sums up 10 Christmas, 10 birthdays, name days and more, you’ve got to zero with ideas. But if you care about your man, you’ll deduce that he does not dream of romantic Sena rides and silk bedding sets. The husband often wishes practical things that relate to his personal comfort. So, check out our list and choose from this gift idea for husband on an anniversary.

Surprise anniversary gifts for the husband for when you are really out of ideas

In the first years of marriage, you took his clothes so that he wore it to suit your taste. Shirts, jackets, trousers that go with the jackets … because a real man does not have only jeans and shirts in the closet, right? Then accessories to be refined, and after you have completely transformed it into the man of your dreams (come on, admit it now, you’re secret is safe with us), then you just started thinking about it. For what he wants. Now is your chance to prove that you really think of his wishes and you are really buying those items. We know you are thinking that those items are not so useful if someone would ask you, but think of that time when he bought you that spa subscription, that little card with meaningless words on it for him.

Mini arcade machine

If he is into gaming and spends a lot of time to pass a level on his favorite game show him that you support him and care for what he wants. A mini arcade machine is perfect for the man that loves retro games and would do anything to play them again. With thousands of mini retro games built in, you will have time for yourself and enjoy some quiet time. You can find retro games like this as a gift for husband on anniversary right here: Mini arcade machine

$19.50

Smartphone projector

Does he say he has everything he needs? No wonder, as the material situation allows you to buy everything. but you certainly do not think that your anniversary will receive a smartphone projector. Such a gadget is designed to enlarge the image and project it successfully on a smooth surface like a wall. Perhaps he will eventually accept to look at your favorite movie. Clearly, you will be able to enjoy this mini gadget too because he certainly will not think twice and will show you something on the internet that fascinates him that otherwise keeps him on the phone for endless hours. This is more for a 1st-anniversary gift for the husband but if you are on the second one or at the 5th then this is a saving idea for when you really don’t have an idea what to buy. You can find a smartphone projector right here: Smartphone projector

from $125.68

Wooden chess game with wine accessories

At the age of 30 he barely put his mouth on beer and now if you see him there is not much difference between him and a sommelier. Thank Heaven that you don’t have to pick him up from the ground but it’s enough to say that it’s his latest passion. Then, aim for this little passion and turn this into a romantic anniversary gift for husband. How? Buy him a set of wine accessories and maybe a nice and fine wine that you will both enjoy on your anniversary. A set like this you can find right here: Wooden chess game with wine accessories

$13.99

Fidget finger toy

You feel like he’s been getting more stressed lately because of important office contracts. He needs something to help and channel his stress. Help him by buying a fidget finger toy. This is not quite an anniversary gift but he will appreciate it no matter what. Even if you will offer him a painted rock he will like it. But, remember, this time you really want to surprise him. You can find an item like this right here: Fidget finger toy

$19.88

Ipad support stand

Is he going to the toilet with the Ipad? Well, help him to have a more comfortable half of hour by buying him an Ipad support stand. Even his phone will sit comfortably on this stand and will be able to use it without having to hold it in his hands. Especially if you do not know about the technology you cannot make any mistake on buying such a gift. You can find a stand like this right here: https://www.amazon.com/OMOTON-Adjustable-Multi-Angle-Aluminum-Convenient/dp/B015FH0XKE/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1532370472&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=ipad+support+stand&psc=1

Smartphone Holder

Going on the same idea you will realize that such a smartphone accessory is quite useful to him. There will be no need to interrupt what he has to do just to keep the phone in his hand. And, moreover, he can finally watch those long clips or take part in endless phone calls. Well, we can not say that a man speaks a lot on the phone but clearly when it comes to video conferencing for work if it’s important, the conversation can be long. This item is a very creative birthday idea for a husband to be offered on an anniversary and he will talk about it for sure in front of friends. Surprise him with a gift like this buying one from here: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Delectronics&field-keywords=smartphone+holder&rh=n%3A172282%2Ck%3Asmartphone+holder

Wireless touch speaker

Does he like music very much? Then surely he will be impressed with this little gadget, a wireless touch speaker. This is a cute small gift for a boyfriend or husband. Not too expensive and not lame as well. You will hit the jackpot with this item and he will be able to listen to music whenever he wants. And, the one we talk about has different colors of light that change according to the music and it’s portable too. You can find a gift like this right here: https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Bluetooth-Speakers-Wireless-Subwoofer/dp/B06XBZQ3HX/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1532371345&sr=1-5&keywords=wireless+touch+speaker

Self-stirring mug

For mornings in which laziness is the word of order and you even feel you cannot mix in the cup of coffee here is the solution: a self-stirring mug. Funny and useful at the same time, it’s a cup made for those who enjoy coffee very much. This item is perfect for your man and can make him smile every morning. Just hit a button and the cup will stir itself. Also, this can be a perfect anniversary gift idea for a boyfriend not just for the husband. You can buy an item like this from here: https://www.amazon.com/Self-Stirring-Coffee-Mug-Cup/dp/B01J44MGOA/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1532371731&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=self+stirring+mug&psc=1 Shot spinner game

Having a party at home just for boys? Then make his party a popular one with a small game. But don’t get too upset if he will be really drunk. It’s a shot spinner game that can be played by multiple persons. Just put a glass of booze inside and spin it. The arrow will stop at a certain point and in front of whom the arrow has stopped, must drink. At a certain point the game will not be so fun anymore because everyone will start to get dizzy but, if you want to end the party sooner it’s a great party crasher. But don’t take advantage of its power. You can surprise your boyfriend or husband with a gift like this from here: https://www.amazon.com/Barbuzzo-Original-Spin-Shot-Entertaining/dp/B004M5IS94/ref=sr_1_4?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1532372178&sr=1-4&keywords=shot+spinner+game

LED beanie hat with built-in torch

Is he rather a practical man? Does he have a great pleasure to fix things around the house? Then a hat that will protect him from cold and illuminate the path or object that he is repairing will be the most wonderful gift. Surely you do not have to be able to differentiate a crosshead screwdriver from a nimbus because such a gift will make him feel that you appreciate his work and especially you observe everything he does. This is the best gift idea for husband on an anniversary and it will not be overlooked. You can find an item like this right here: https://www.amazon.com/Grey-LED-Beanie-built-torch/dp/B01M1OKY0K/ref=sr_1_21?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1532372676&sr=1-21&keywords=led+beanie

Barbecue Tool Set

If he enjoys making a barbecue in the backyard on a nice Sunday, then a set of tools and accessories will be the most useful gift you could possibly offer to him. Make him happy and buy him such a gift. And there will be no Sunday without barbecue. But, you have to admit it, he makes the best steak and every time it’s how you like it. Surprise him with a gift from here: https://www.amazon.com/BBQ-Grill-Tools-Barbecue-Accessories/dp/B00ZTY7TMO/ref=sr_1_13_sspa?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1532373294&sr=1-13-spons&keywords=mens+cooking+manual&psc=1

Underwater video camera for fishing

He will not have to buy fish from the supermarket anymore with a video camera specially designed to detect where the fish are. Waterproof and designed to film underwater it’s the best idea you can have. This is a very unique boyfriend gift or perfects to be offered to your husband. If money isn’t a problem then this is a great idea of a gift that you can put into practice. If you don’t really know if it’s a good video camera then you can ask one of his friends to tell you his opinion but remember to ask him not to tell. For inspiration or to buy such a camera, you can enter here: https://www.amazon.com/Eyoyo-Portable-Waterproof-Underwater-Infrared/dp/B07513DXRZ/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1532373583&sr=1-6&keywords=underwater+video+camera
