Spotlights the R13 update for CINEMA 4D, which includes some key improvements in the rendering, shader, and character tools.
- [Voiceover] Hi, I'm Rob Garrott and I'd like to welcome you to CINEMA 4D R13 New Features. We're going to explore some key changes to my favorite 3D animation package, CINEMA 4D. We'll start off by looking at the interface and how it's changed from version 12. Next, we'll take look at the render engine enhancements. The physical render engine is a huge addition to R13 and it allows for very realistic camera effects like motion blur and depth of field. The character tools have been dramatically enhanced with the new character and see motion objects that help you create character rigs and get them moving in no time at all.
We'll also explore cool, new shaders like sub-surface scattering and important workflow enhancements like stereoscopic rendering. There are a lot of exciting elements in this update of CINEMA 4D and I can't wait to show them to you. So let's get started with CINEMA 4D R13 New Features.
- Comparing the menus, viewports, and other interface differences
- Enabling progressive rendering with the Physical Render engine
- Building and applying rigs with the character object
- Working with the new Collision Deformer
- Using the new shaders: Mograph Multi Shader, subsurface scattering, brick, and more
- Embracing the new stereoscopic workflow | [

The Houthi group in Yemen on Tuesday detailed the second stage of its forces' military operation against the Saudi army and affiliated Yemeni troops in the Saudi Najran bordering Yemen.
The rebels have seized three of the "enemy's camps" including arsenals and different ordnance, Houthi spokesman said, during an operation that "left no less than 200 Saudi and Yemeni troops killed or injured."
The second stage of "'Victory from Allah' operation was launched on 3 September," during which an area of more than 150 km2 was secured and more than 120 armored and other vehicles were destroyed or looted," Yahiya Sarie added in press release.
Houthi fighters captured a large group of troops, including Saudis, allowing Yemenis "involved in the treason" to flee towards Najran city, he claimed, showing reporters tapes for six "Saudi servicemen captured in the operation," with each of them uttering his military number and unit.
The two areas of al-Far'a and al-Saoh, leading to heights overlooking Najran city, have been liberated in the second stage, Sarie said.
"The operation has seen six missile tasks, one of which destroyed Najran airport, and 16 UAV tasks, two cooperated with missile force and two with artillery force.
"Air defense fended off 40 Apache attacks, and Saudi aircraft launched more than 600 raids during the second stage," he added, claiming that his troops found documents and evidences proving al-Qaeda and Daesh role in fighting beside Arab coalition.
Houthi operations "will only stop if aggression stops, and different stages of the 'Victory from Allah' operation will continue," Sarie vowed.
Last Sunday, Houthis displayed footages and photos for first stage of the operation the group said its forces launched late last August in Najran.
The 72-hour operation was preceded by "the largest temptation since the aggression started on Yemen," rebel spokesman said then.
Yemen has been racked by an armed conflict that broke out after the Iranian-backed Houthis had ousted the internationally-recognized government late in 2014.
The conflict escalated after a Saudi-led coalition intervened militarily in the country in March 2015 to reinstate the government of President Hadi. | [

the real reson, no matter what anyone says, patroism(excuse the spelling). You say the pledge, and by putting your hand on your heart believe in the pledge. Same as a solider saluting while the flag is being raised.
because we love America
These are entities such as the FCC(Federal Communications Commission) and FAA(Federal Avaition Administration). They are formed and accorded power by Congress to regulate a specific industry. Within the authority granted them by Congress, they have the power to form and enforce their own regulations.
AnswerIndependent regulatory boards and commissions essentially are boards and commission with ties to the government, that are separate from policy makers aka politics in order to achieve unbiased information and effective results.
The flag of the Communist International is red. All communists see the red flag as their symbol hence REDS. The association of red with the radical left dates back centuries. It's likely that it began with an association between red and sacrifice, conflict, revolution (bloodshed).
The Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine proclaimed that the United States would "protect" the nations of Central and South America from European interference by exercising an international police force in the area. The actions of the United States under the corollary pleased US and European investors because it protected their monetary interests in the area, but the corollary also created ill will between the US and the nations of Latin America who felt that they were being bullied by the great American colossus of the North. The seizure of the Panama Canal zone was an example of action that greatly offended Latin America. MrV | [

On Thursday, recent retiree Floyd Mayweather uploaded a photo to Instagram of his new baby tiger. “I want to thank my family @themoneyteamrussia here in Moscow, Russia for the hospitality & my early Christmas present, a rare & exotic tiger from India,” one of his employees who knows how to read wrote for him. “Any suggestions for a name for this two-month old, female tiger?”
Mayweather, one of the most remarkable technical talents boxing has ever seen, and a noted scumbag who has a history of brutally assaulting women and has been wholly unrepentant about it; who makes sports fans engage in an icky moral calibration every time they put a Pay-Per-View on their credit cards; whose regular, flagrant racism is willfully ignored by his defenders as part of an elaborate charade; is now responsible for the life of an endangered cat that may or may not want to eat him if given the opportunity. What should Floyd name his new tiger babe, of which there are said to be just 2,200 in the world, now that she's part of the Money Team? | [

If you are keen on applying your microengineering skills and advance the state of the art in neuroscience, we here can offer you a unique opportunity to improve the life of people suffering from blinding diseases. In the project BIocompatible Retinal prosthesis for restoring visual computations in blinding Diseases (BIRD), we are looking for a talented PhD candidate for the microfabrication of a photovoltaic implant for partial restoration of the vision of blind people. In this Exploratory Interdisciplinary Synergy project funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation you will work in close collaboration with neuroscientists at Aarhus University.
You will be based at DTU Nanolab, where we conduct cross-disciplinary research and apply micro- and nanotechnology to a wide range of scientific disciplines and applications. The Biomaterial Microsystems group is a highly ambitious group, pursuing research on microfabrication of 3D polymer and carbon structures and devices and their application in drug delivery, bioelectrochemistry and sustainable energy.
Responsibilities and tasks
Two of the most widespread causes of blindness are age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP), combined affecting more than 170 Million people. The detailed pathophysiology of AMD and RP is unknown, but the degeneration of retinal photoreceptors is a central event leading to visual loss in these diseases. There are no effective treatments for photoreceptor degeneration.
The overall aim of BIRD is to develop a biocompatible retinal implant using photovoltaics in order to restore visual computations for blind patients. We will do this by developing a photovoltaic chip (solar cell array) with thousands of pixels and 3D electrodes. We will study how this chip interacts with different nerve cells and the retinal biology and finally test whether such a chip produces signals towards meaningful vision.
Your main contribution will be the fabrication of the photovoltaic cell array providing conversion of an external optical input signal into an electrical potential for stimulation of neural cells in the human eye. The miniaturized solar cell is fabricated in the DTU Nanolab cleanroom facilities. Your primary tasks will be to:
- plan and execute experimental research
- design, fabricate and optimize a miniaturized solar cell array in an iterative process
- determine the quantum efficiency, minority carrier lifetime and IV-characteristics
- integrate 3D microelectrodes on the solar cell
- investigate the interaction of the miniaturized solar cell with retinal tissue
- collaborate with an interdisciplinary research team in a focused scientific effort
- contribute as teaching assistant at DTU Nanolab and supervise BSc and MSc student projects
You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) in micro- or nanoengineering, physics, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree. Experience with cleanroom fabrication is an advantage. You are expected to have a keen interest in biomedical applications and the ability to interact with researchers in a very interdisciplinary environment. A high grade average and excellent English language skills are decisive to be considered for the scholarship.
Approval and Enrolment
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. For information about our enrolment requirements and the general planning of the PhD study programme, please see the DTU PhD Guide.
The assessment of the applicants will be made by Prof. Stephan Sylvest Keller (DTU Nanolab), Researcher Rasmus Schmidt Davidsen (DTU Nanolab) and Assoc. Prof. Keisuke Yonehara (Aarhus University).
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation and scientific advice. We offer a rewarding and challenging job in an international environment. We strive for academic excellence in an environment characterized by collegial respect and academic freedom tempered by responsibility.
Salary and appointment terms
The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations. The allowance will be agreed upon with the relevant union. The period of employment is 3 years.
You can read more about career paths at DTU here.
Further information may be obtained from Prof. Stephan Sylvest Keller, [email protected].
You can read more about DTU Nanolab and the Biomaterial Microsystems group at www.nanolab.dtu.dk.
If you are applying from abroad, you may find useful information on working in Denmark and at DTU at DTU – Moving to Denmark.
Your complete online application must be submitted no later than14 May 2021 (Danish time). Applications must be submitted as one PDF file containing all materials to be given consideration. To apply, please open the link "Apply online", fill out the online application form, and attach all your materials in English in one PDF file. The | [

You can turn in as many guns as you’d like however they must be in working condition and unloaded. NMPGV will provide a gift card from Amazon, Center Market, Food King, Target, or Walmart in exchange for each firearm turned in.
The value of gift cards received depends on the firearm that is turned in.
- $250.00 for assault weapons
- $200.00 for a semi-automatic handgun and semi-automatic rifles
- $100.00 for long guns and pistols
Guns will be dismantled on-site and will later be forged into gardening tools. Once a firearm is surrendered and a gift card is issued, EPD will conduct a National Crime Information Center inquiry on the firearms to make sure they are not stolen. Police state that if a firearm is determined to be stolen, it will be entered into evidence, and the rightful owner will be contacted. | [

No trains in or out of London King’s Cross, or on Thameslink services to or from St Pancras International via Finsbury Park, on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th October, as Network Rail works continue on the East Coast Upgrade.
The £1.2bn East Coast Upgrade will change journeys for the better between London, the North and Scotland. It will make way for more services on the East Coast Main Line to meet future passenger demand and bring a more reliable railway.
Over the weekend, Network Rail engineers will carry out vital work to test the new signalling system and replace overhead wires in and around King’s Cross Station.
This next step in the project will allow for more reliable passenger journeys, but it can only be carried out safely when there are no trains in the area.
The following changes to services will be in place on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October:
- LNER services to/from the north will start/end at St Neots, south of Peterborough. Rail replacement coaches will run between St Neots and Bedford, where passengers can use Thameslink or East Midlands Railway services to/from London St Pancras.
- No Great Northern or Thameslink services will run into King’s Cross, Moorgate or St Pancras International via Finsbury Park. Limited replacement bus services will run between Potters Bar and St Albans, where passengers can link with Thameslink services to/from London St Pancras. Buses will also run between Potters Bar and Cockfosters to connect with London Underground services to/from central London.
- On the Hertford North line, all stations between Gordon Hill and Alexandra Palace will be served by a bus replacement service to/from Turnpike Lane Tube station. Passengers should use London Underground services for onward connections to/from central London.
- Hull Trains services will be subject to alteration over the weekend.
- Grand Central will have no services operating throughout the weekend. The 17:30 Sunderland to King’s Cross service on Friday 16th October and the 08:27 King’s Cross to Sunderland service on Monday 19th October will also not run.
Ed Akers, Principal Programme Sponsor for Network Rail, said: “We’re making good progress on the project to improve access into and out of King’s Cross. Unfortunately, while a lot of the work is being carried out with no disruption to passengers, some key activities just cannot be done safely while trains are running. On Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 October we need to make changes to the signalling and power lines, and we can only do that by stopping trains coming in and out of the station.
“We’re advising people not to travel to London over the weekend, but those who do need to should check their journeys via National Rail Enquiries, at EastCoastUpgrade.co.uk or with their train operator and allow plenty of time. Thank you for your continued patience as we progress with these vital improvements.”

All eyes once again are on the Cedar River running through downtown.
Only today, there appears to be huge differences from just five years ago — from January 2003, when some of the community’s leaders were excited about a $10.5-million grant the city had won from the state Vision Iowa Board for the RiverRun redevelopment project.
Back then, local elected officials, who were required to come up with local matching dollars to obtain the state grant, turned to the public and asked it to pass a local-option sales tax to support the project. The public voted against the tax in June 2003, and RiverRun fell apart. A scaled-down version of the project, Cedar Bend, couldn’t find local financial support, and it, too, had to give up on Vision Iowa money.
It was kind of embarrassing for Cedar Rapids.
One thing that seemed to indicate just how much things have changed in five years came in a comment council member Chuck Wieneke made during a council session May 8 at which the council was interviewing two nationally accomplished design firms in a competition to design a riverfront improvement plan for Cedar Rapids.
Wieneke told representatives from one of the firms, Sasaki Associates Inc., Watertown, Mass., that he understood that Cedar Rapids’ corporate community was buying in to the riverfront plan. But he wasn’t sure that there yet was “citizen buy-in.” He said bottom drawers at City Hall and elsewhere are lined with past plans for the riverfront and downtown that never came to anything. He said citizens know that. He said citizen buy-in was important to him.
Both design firms, Sasaki and Close Landscape Architecture+, Minneapolis, detailed their approaches for incorporating public comment into the design process.
But, in truth, what the public thinks at this point isn’t going to matter as vitally as it did in the RiverRun days.
No one is talking about any tax or bond votes this time.
This time the City Council already has committed money, new state money looks like a sure bet and, by all accounts, corporate Cedar Rapids is ready to open the private-sector wallet.
The only public votes that will matter will be the ones in November 2010 when six of the nine City Council members will be up for reelection.
This is one of those times when the city’s elected officials are running with the idea that the public elected them to make some decisions on their own, not with polls, market surveys or ballot initiatives.
The May 8 council session with the two riverfront design firms was a treat to watch. It went something like this:
This time, the pretty pictures will not be rolled up and placed in a City Hall basement to gather dust, predicted Bruce Jacobson, partner with Close Landscape Architecture+, one of the two consulting firms picked as finalists among 18 applicants to help create a new riverfront design for the city of Cedar Rapids.
This time, Jacobson said, stuff is going to get built.
That expectation is based on an incredible change in the landscape compared to just a few years ago.
That’s what Dan Thies, president/CEO of OPN Architects Inc., Cedar Rapids, assured. His firm has aligned with Sasaki Associates Inc. in the competition for the Cedar Rapids riverfront project.
“I think for the first time in a long time the community is poised for something great to happen,” Thies said.
For instance, this time, the City Council has agreed in the budget year beginning July 1 to sell $3.5 million in debt to help with downtown revitalization projects.
This time, too, the city’s biggest private employers have made financial commitments to downtown redevelopment, council members, Doug Neumann, the president/CEO of the Downtown District, and other local community leaders have said.
Also this time, local leaders — it seems a little incredible – helped convinced the Iowa Legislature and Gov. Chet Culver to create a new, $42-million pot of money for the very specific thing that Cedar Rapids city, community and corporate leaders are mobilized to do. That is, to enhance the city’s riverfront.
The new pot of money is called RECAT, Riverfront Enhancement Community Attraction and Tourism.
And Cedar Rapids’ application for the money is at the ready, awaiting the state’s Vision Iowa Board, which will dispense the RECAT money, to establish new rules for handing the money out.
The focus this time is also different. Much of talk about the big Vision Iowa projects of a few years ago was about creating unique venues to attract people to a city from far and wide.
So RiverRun ended up with a whitewater kayak course on the Cedar River, which turned out to be an idea that local voters never quite gra
This time, the idea is more about creating a downtown that people who | [

Pay promise broken
Strike ballot at historic Merseyside glassmaker Pilkington
Merseyside glassmakers employed by Pilkington are being balloted for strike action over the company’s failure to deliver a promised 2.5 per cent pay rise, Unite said today (January 29).
More than 100 Unite members at glassmaker Pilkington’s Cowley Hill and Greengate sites in Saint Helens will be balloted for strike action, after the company refused to implement the rise, which was agreed with Unite members in 2019 and set to take effect in March 2020.
Unite said it believed the historic company, which was founded in 1826 and is now owned by the Japanese Nippon Sheet Glass group, had budgeted for the pay increase but had used the pandemic as an opportunity to not honour the agreement.
The ballot for strike action opened on January 28 and will close on Thursday, February 11.
Unite regional officer Joey Swift said, “Our members perform a gruelling job at extreme temperatures, literally putting their all into delivering for the business day in day out, including during the Covid-19 crisis.
“This dispute has been going on for nearly a year now. Despite management being well aware of the workforce’s growing anger, they have refused to enter into any meaningful discussions with Unite.
“We believe that Pilkington had budgeted for the pay increase, but decided to use the disruption caused by the pandemic opportunistically to renege on the agreement,” he added. “Pilkington’s staff unfailingly carry out physically and mentally demanding work and deserve to be properly rewarded for it with the pay rise that was promised to them.
“It is a shame that Pilkington’s disregard for its staff has led to this ballot being called, however after consultation with our members it is clear that staff have had enough.
“Strike action at the Greengate glassmaking site and Cowley Hill works will cause severe disruption for the company’s UK supply chain,” Swift went on to say.
“This is a backward step in what has traditionally been a productive and collaborative working relationship between Pilkington and Unite. As ever, Unite is happy to talk and help find a resolution for the benefit of all parties.”

Lithium was introduced into the battery field in the 1950s due to its very high energy density. The first lithium batteries were developed in the 1970s, then rechargeable metal lithium batteries, Li-ion batteries, and polymer lithium batteries were successively developed. Since 1990 the latter two types have been commercialized successfully based on the invention of new cathode, anode and electrolyte materials. Lithium battery technologies are still being developed and will continue to improve the quality of our lives. This paper gives a brief introduction to the history of lithium batteries over the last 40 years. | [

January traditionally symbolizes new beginnings, a time to reflect on your life and its purpose, identify what makes you happy, and make changes. Not so coincidentally, the first month of the new year is also International Quality of Life Month. At Senior Lifestyle, we understand that while many of us focus on resolutions for the new year, we may not often think about how those resolutions will affect our quality of life. Weight loss is often a resolution, but when we tie it to quality of life, THEN we begin to understand that increased health, feelings of accomplishment and the satisfaction of meeting a goal help to contribute to an increased sense of our quality of life. This is especially important for seniors, as their resolutions may often be tied to maintaining or increasing health.
Quality of life is defined as “the degree of satisfaction an individual has regarding a particular style of life.” But what really constitutes “quality of life”? Much like the pain scale at your doctor’s office, the answer varies from person to person and is completely subjective, and measuring these qualities is an altogether separate issue for each individual. Any evaluation of quality of life depends on how each person feels about relationships, work, health, spirituality, and a host of other factors. For many seniors, being able to live independently is the key; for others, feeling a sense of purpose and belonging is a major factor. Having a sense of life purpose is vital to the concept of quality of life as well.
A positive view of life is vitally important for seniors, resulting in increased energy, less stress and better appetite, amongst other benefits. Quality of life is closely tied to life purpose, the way in which an individual feels that he contributes to his community, and at Senior Lifestyle, we strive to help each resident uncover that purpose and move toward fulfilling their life purpose, knowing that the activities that give one person pleasure and a sense of purpose are unique to that person. We strive to really know our residents in order to help them discover their gifts, the talents and qualities that bring an enhanced quality of life. Staying mentally and physically active and staying connected to family, friends and community are also factors that increase quality of life for seniors.
At Senior Lifestyle, we focus on providing activities proven to help increase the quality of our residents’ lives through social events, outings and opportunities to volunteer in the community-at-large, as well as fostering strong connections with friends and family. To learn more about programs designed to enhance quality of life at a Senior Lifestyle community in your area, please visit our website at www.seniorlifestyle.com. | [

Surplus of parked and underused cars to hang over industry for years
(The following story by John D. Boyd appeared on The Journal of Commerce website on February 15, 2010.)
WASHINGTON, D.C. — All across North America, freight railcars that were parked when the economy was in a tailspin are slowly coming back on line. But the rebound will be nowhere near as fast as the collapse.
Through a mild but steady improvement in freight flows, railroads and freight shippers are redeploying some railcars and trimming the surplus of those either held in storage or active but underutilized.
Still, the number of railcars yet to be put to good use is so huge that FTR Associates, a consultant to the freight supply industry, expects production of new railcars to fall 47 percent this year from an estimated low of 21,541 units in recession-smacked 2009.
And while FTR looks for new railcar deliveries to double next year and again in 2012, its five-year forecast still looks for production of 60,408 cars in 2013 to be below 2006 levels.
In other words, unless the U.S. economy grows much faster than expected, or railcar owners push a lot more of their old units to scrap yards, the North American fleet will be working out of its massive overhang of surplus cars for years to come.
At the worst of the rail freight downturn last spring, FTR President Eric Starks estimated that more than 500,000 railcars of all types were stored around the continent, while about another 150,000 were in service but underused.
FTR now says that total surplus probably shrank from 681,000 units to 603,000 by year-end, or “better, but still extremely high.”
Although railcar owners don’t have to pay shop maintenance fees when cars are parked, owners still may pay financing charges on cars that are no longer generating revenue, plus storage costs such as rents on tracks where they sit.
Union Pacific Railroad, North America’s largest carrier with a network that sprawls across the western U.S., had parked 66,000 railcars in last year’s first quarter and only trimmed that to 60,000 in the spring quarter, spokesman Tom Lange said.
Since then, it has worked down the number of idled cars in its fleet, reporting 44,000 idled at the end of the year.
Norfolk Southern Railway in the East said it reduced its stored railcar level to around 20,000 at year-end from a high of around 35,000 at its peak last May.
A mild recovery in freight traffic has been under way since midsummer, and people who live or work near freight tracks have seen lots of cars that were tagged with graffiti while in storage come back into service.
Yet railroads have kept their active capacity closely matched to demand, helping them to raise average freight rates even in a recession.
David Brown, chief operating officer for eastern carrier CSX Transportation, said the railroad can quickly bring some of its 23,000 stored cars back if demand warrants, but indicated CSX will wait for the demand. “We will continue to take a disciplined approach and activate available resources only when necessary,” he said.
The railroads also posted significant gains in efficiency last year, moving trains better and thereby needing fewer railcars to haul the same amount of freight.
UP’s Dennis Duffy, executive vice president for operations, told analysts last month the carrier’s record 27.3 mph average train velocity in 2009 and improved car utilization meant it could use less equipment. “Faster asset turns lets us move more freight with fewer cars,” he said, according to a Seeking Alpha transcript.
FTR also suggests that not all the reductions in stored equipment come from rising freight levels. It said the fleets scrapped about 60,000 old units in 2009, and will likely retire another 57,000 this year and 56,000 in 2011.
Those numbers could increase, and trim the surplus sooner, if scrap metal prices rise enough to entice fleet owners to eliminate inventory rather than wait for freight demand to pay revenue on the equipment.
Whether by traffic or scrap counts, FTR projects North America’s freight car surplus to be about 531,000 units at the end of 2010 and 447,000 next year.
Although production of new railcars should pick up starting in 2011 — more because shippers need certain car types rather than from overall demand rising enough to soak up idled equipment — FTR looks for a surplus overhang in 2013, at the end of its five-year forecast range, to still be 341,000 units.

As a relatively new PPL holder I have been doing a bit of flying with a friend (very experienced taildragger PPL) in a tailwheel aircraft. Is it possible to log any of this time? I have in a de facto sense been operating as P1. But is it possible to log it as such?
In regards sign-off do you need to be signed off by a suitably qualified pilot or must it be an instructor?

Echoing this year's theme "Beat Air Pollution", the organizer said the four-day event will be "zero carbon" as an estimated 721 tonnes of carbon dioxide produced while hosting the event will be offset by planting trees at the Saihanba forest farm in northern China's Hebei Province. Understanding the effects and taking relevant action are steps which will help to #BeatAirPollution.
"Air Pollution is a silent killer claiming millions of lives every year", Akshay Kumar said.
The State of India's Environment (SoE) Report found air pollution is responsible for 12.5 percent of all deaths in the country - painting a bleak picture of the environmental record of recent Indian governments.
Air pollution exposure is linked to increased hospitalisations, disability, and early deaths.
To find out more about how you can celebrate World Environment Day and get involved in beating air pollution, you can visit the Wednesday website here. In India, for example, ambient and household air pollution was attributed to some 1.2 million deaths in 2017, according to a study in The Lancet. Photochemical smog is another form of air pollution caused by the reaction of solar radiation with airborne pollutant mixtures, Nitrogen Oxides and hydrocarbons. India is among the most polluted countries in the world. The health risks associated with particulate matter smaller than 10 and 2.5 microns in diameter (PM10 and PM2.5) are of particular public health relevance. In children, this could include reduced lung growth and function, respiratory infections and aggravated asthma.
Celtics boss Danny Ainge back at work after ‘mild’ heart attack
I knew it would be hard from the beginning of the year, but I think it was more hard than I anticipated and he anticipated. Nothing about it will be very relaxing for Ainge, but he sounds ready for any challenge that lies ahead.
Aside from the AHP Programme, Asean also has an initiative to reduce greenhouse emissions from peatland fires through the Asean Agreement on Transboundary Haze Pollution.
We often can not see "Air pollution" though it is all around us. A widely distributed network of informal workers use crude methods like open burning to extract reusable components and precious metals such as silver, gold, titanium and palladiumgenerating toxic gases which pose severe health and environmental consequences.
"To improve air quality, we must know our enemy".
"Today, we face an equally urgent crisis".
Outside their homes, 60 per cent said they turn off the vehicle engine when idle with 58 per cent keeping it properly tuned, while 49 per cent said they reduce individual auto use by opting for vehicle pools or public transport. The very worst air quality is found in homes where solid fuels are used for cooking. An important fact about air pollution is that we cannot ask everyone to stop breathing to tackle air pollution, but we can made amends on the quality of air we breathe. | [

Re: Mercury poinsing, sulpher sensitivity, candida, or ALL??? PLEASE HELP!!! by JourneytoVitality..... Candida & Dysbiosis Forum
Date: 7/26/2015 9:40:34 PM ( 6 years ago ago)
Yes, When I took my first heavy metal test my mercury levels wouldnt even budge. My mercury levels were non existent even though everything else was elevated. I take into consideration I was retaining mercury and not releasing it. I plan to test later on in the year to see if anything shows now that I have been chelating/detoxing. Its been a long road....

Last Wednesday we had our first members only Shop Class in the garage. We did a basic intro to the Shop and learned how to safely put a car on a lift.
After that, Jancsi gave us the skinny on disc brakes complete with master cylinder visual aides and a brake caliper cut-away.
Make sure to sign up for the next one on February 12th at 6:00pm. This class will focus on suspension upgrades for road and track. We will be removing stock suspension and installing adjustable coilovers. If there is time after that, Jancsi will go over the importance of, and proper way to perform an alignment.
We will start around 6pm and go until the project is at a good stopping point for the evening. I’m limiting the class to 15 people to keep it at a manageable size. RSVP REQUIRED | [

17th century century scientists laid down the building blocks of science that eventually helped the world make more and more discoveries leading into the future. The amount of knowledge our modern day scientists have is pretty incredible, but it is only becoming more
“God, who has given the world to men in common, has also given them reason to make use of it to the best advantage of life and convenience” (Locke, 35). The Scientific Revolution concentrated on understanding the physical world through astronomical and mathematical calculations, or testable knowledge. The Enlightenment focused more on “Spreading of faith in reason and in universal rights and laws” (Worlds Together, Worlds Apart, 535). While the Scientific Revolution preceded the Enlightenment, both time periods sought to limit and challenge the power of the Church, through the spread of science, reason and intellect, and political philosophies. The Scientific Revolution began with Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1542) and Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) wanting to understand the movement of the planets beyond what they authorities had told them.
Scientific discoveries were made and contributed to the growth of the people in Europe and America. The Enlightenment was a growth period in Europe and America, as people were told to rely on their own intellect instead of always looking to God for answers. Unfortunately, because of their existing class structure, religious positions, and authoritative rule, these new ideas in Europe could only be debated.
Knowing the size of Trappist 1, the astronomers could measure the transit dimming due to each planet to determine its size. (According to the Planetary society Transit dimming is a method for Finding Earth's. This method detects distant planets by measuring the minute dimming of a star as an orbiting planet passes between it and the Earth. The passage of a planet between a star and the Earth is called a "transit.”) This is how they know all seven
In the decades following the Civil War as the United States was changing from a primarily agricultural to an industrialized nation the American intellectual landscapes was changing in equally important ways. New ideas in the worlds of literature, science and philosophy were having great impact on intellectual and artistic endeavors and theses ideas were not just influencing the social elites but also America’s growing mass of ordinary, literate citizens. This influence would set in motion a change in mass direction for the United States. There are many important events that occurred during the Gilded Age. This age was birthed at a time following the Civil War, around the Reconstruction Era and it would continue to rise until its last breath
Pluto is not just a well known dog, it’s also a dwarf planet…or is i? Pluto has a moon just like all the other planets. Scientists are calling Pluto a “Dwarf”, but size isn’t everything because great things come in small packages. Pluto has been called a planet from 1930 to 2006 why change now. Pluto should be a planet because it was a planet before so why rewrite history.
During the renaissance new thinking accrued and history was shaped in a new way. The Renaissance was a time when people started to question the way of thinking. They started to produce new things, such as inventions, science, medicine and art. The promoted humanism, with reasoning instead of religion.1 Leonardo da Vinci was a renaissance man, meaning he was interested in all of the new learning topics. With his studies of science, realism in art and military machines, Leonardo da Vinci shaped history.
The Enlightenment was called the ‘science of freedom’ for the rising middle classes, or bourgeoisie, of the eighteenth century because there was an increase in scientific knowledge in addition to an overall shift in public opinion that wanted freedom and liberty. The old regime was challenged both scientifically and politically, and the bourgeoisie found increasing opportunities for both monetary gain in trading and mercantilism, and an independent culture in the new social sphere. Scientifically, the old ways of thinking about the universe were challenged, and people had the freedom to do so. Rather than simply relying on Copernicus’s idea that the sun existed as the center of the universe and the earth revolved around it, modern scientists and critical thinkers came up with and tested theories about the world and the universe around it.
To begin with, Copernicus is by far one of the most important in the Scientific Revolution because he basically started it off. Before Copernicus, Ptolemy believed that the Earth was the center of the universe and all of the planets including the sun and the moon revolved around it. Moreover, according to Copernicus, what appeared to be the movement of the sun and the fixed stars around the earth was really explained by the daily rotation of the earth on it’s axis and the journey of the earth around the sun each year. Copernicus made some research and he found out that Ptolemy was incorrect.

This is the second part to the article about future car technologies.
An alternative fuel vehicle is a vehicle that runs on an energy source other than conventional petroleum fuels (petrol or diesel). Due to a combination of factors, such as environmental concerns, high oil prices and the potential for peak oil, the development of alternative energy sources for vehicles will increase in the future. This article will list all the major currently existing alternative energy vehicle technologies.
Hybrid electric vehicles such as the Toyota Prius are not technically alternative fuel vehicles, because they still have to use conventional fuels when their batteries run out of power. However the electric battery is an alternative energy source, so hybrid cars will be included in this article.
The Toyota Prius is one of the most popular hybrid electric cars.
As of July 2010 more than 40 million alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles have been in use worldwide out of about 900 million cars and light trucks in total. This alternative fuel fleet is made up mainly of:
- Over 20 million flexible-fuel vehicles.
- About 11 million natural gas vehicles.
- Between 2.4 to 3.0 million bioethanol vehicles.
- More than 3.1 million hybrid electric vehicles.
Compressed air engine
An air engine is an emission-free piston engine that uses compressed air as a source of energy. The first compressed air car was invented by a French engineer named Guy Nègre. The expansion of the compressed air is used to drive the pistons in a modified piston engine. The only exhaust is cold air (about −15 °C), which could also be used to air condition the car.
The MDI AirPod is a compressed air car designed by Motor Development International.
Battery electric vehicle
Battery electric vehicles (BEVs), also known as all-electric vehicles (AEVs), are electric vehicles that are solely powered by the chemical energy of batteries. Unfortunately most of today’s electric cars have to be recharged very often due to their low range. The 2011 Nissan Leaf, pictured below, is the world’s first mass production 100% electric car for sale from a major manufacturer.
The 2011 Nissan Leaf
A solar vehicle is an electric vehicle powered by solar electricity. This is obtained from solar panels on the surface generally on the top or window of the vehicle. Photovoltaic (PV) cells convert the sun’s energy directly into electrical energy. Solar vehicles are not sold as practical day-to-day transportation devices at present. However solar panels could be used to recharge an electric car’s batteries. In that case solar energy would only be a supplement, the chemical battery being the main energy source of the car.
The Ned, constructed in 1999 by the South Australian Solar Car Consortium, can speed up to 120km/h.
Ammonia fueled vehicle
Ammonia is being used with success by developers in Canada. A great advantage of this type of fuel is that it can be used in spark ignited or diesel engines with only minor modifications. Despite this fuel’s toxicity it is thought to be no more dangerous than petrol. On combustion it has no emissions other than nitrogen and water vapor.
Biofuels are a wide range of fuels which are in some way derived from biomass. Usually they are made of plants grown for that purpose.
Bioethanol is an alcohol made by fermenting the sugar components of plant materials. Bioethanol can be used as a fuel for vehicles in its pure form, but it is usually used as a gasoline additive to increase octane and improve vehicle emissions.
Biodiesel is made from vegetable oils, animal fats or recycled greases. Biodiesel can be used as a fuel for vehicles in its pure form as well, but it is usually used as a diesel additive to reduce levels of particulates, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbons from diesel-powered vehicles.
Natural gas vehicle
High pressure compressed natural gas, mainly composed of methane, can be used to fuel normal combustion engines instead of gasoline. Combustion of methane produces the least amount of CO2 of all fossil fuels. Most gasoline cars can be retrofitted to compressed natural gas.
A hydrogen car uses hydrogen as its primary source of power. These cars generally use the hydrogen in one of two methods: combustion or fuel-cell conversion. In combustion, the hydrogen is “burned” in engines in fundamentally the same method as traditional gasoline cars. In fuel-cell conversion, the hydrogen is turned into electricity through fuel cells which then powers electric motors. With either method, the only byproduct from the spent hydrogen is water.
The 2009 Honda FCX Clarity is a hydrogen fuel cell automobile launched to the market in 2008.
Liquid nitrogen vehicle
A liquid nitrogen vehicle is powered by liquid nitrogen, which is stored in a tank. The engine works by heating the liquid nitrogen in a heat exchanger, extracting heat from the ambient air and using the resulting pressurized gas to operate a piston or rotary engine. Vehicles propelled | [

Can Remote Install Cell Phone Spy Software Keep Your RelationshipIf you find yourself asking,"how can I spy on my boyfriends cellular phone?" It's very probable that you have reasons to doubt that he is doing something unsuitable with his cell phone. Yes, mobile phones can be a basis for couples to lose confidence on each other, and studies show that it may destroy relationships.
While it's apparent that smartphones and the Internet are very useful in most scenarios, they also can damage relationships in various ways. Hence, it's important for people to set bounds for smartphone usage.
Here are the ways Smart Phones can ruin people's relationships:
Insufficient Attention and Mindfulness
Smart phones are a huge distraction, and it is so common that we scarcely observe this truth anymore. We have our cellphones everywhere we go, and we cover too much attention to it just about all of the time. Yes, we have come to be overly immersed in the digital world and we consider it the absolute most essential thing whatsoever.
One of these ways cellular phones and other portable devices get in the form of relationships is by simply making it difficult for us to listen from what's happening around us at the moment. Consequently, we lose chances to love many terrific things around us, and also the special people in our own lives.
Insufficient True Communication
For several couples, smart phones can get the breakdown of their communicating. How will you like some intimate moment with your partner if your phone wont stop beeping using reminders, notifications, etc. Sadly, cell phone communications have replaced those heartfelt, purposeful discussions and conversations between spouses, which are thought of as crucial facets for a relationship that is strong.
Now additionally, it's typical for people in relationships to wonder iPhone spy. When your partner spends an excessive amount of time with his phone, you wonder exactly what he could be doing or who he could be exchanging messages with. Clearly, one's dependence to smart phones might lead to doubts and mistrust among spouses.
Less Stable Relationships
For a relationship to last, there must be constant'give and take'. Smartphones, however, destroys this balance. Addiction to Auto Forward are able to make a person self-centered and non-empathetic. They only worry about everything they view ontheir social media accounts, and all they think of is how they could gain more followers online. Because of this, couples become indifferent to each other, they become more attached to the many meaningless things online, and so they lost their own relations with real individuals.
If you're thinking about spending too long in your own mobile phone, you already have no reason to think about using remote install cell phone spy software on your partner's phone. If you want to save your relationship by the catastrophic consequences of cellular phone dependence, you want to start with yourself so that you can always remind your partner of the significance of spending time together. | [

MABALACAT CITY – Traffic congestion is not a sole monopoly of Metro Manila. In this city, traffic woes have spun ideas on how to untangle the daily gridlock, even before it gets worse by the time nearby Clark Freeport hosts the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit this January.
Mayor Marino Morales and members of the city council have passed a resolution urg-ing the Clark Development Corp. (CDC), a state-firm that manages the Clark Freeport, toopen the Dau-Clark Gate along the Mabalacat Road of the freeport to decongest the business district in Barangay Dau.
Morales said the reopening of the gate, once extensively used during the times of the Americans at the former US Clark Air Force Base, would decongest not only Dau but also Barangay Mabiga.
Theseareas provide routes, especially the MacArthur highway, towards the freeport from other northern provinces, as well as the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx).
“It will also allow convenient transport for tens of thousands of workers at Clark and thus boost even their work efficiency,” Morales said.
Clark provides employment to over 70,000 folk from provinces around the freeport.
“The rush hour at the central business district of Dau has reached alarming proportions. There is a need to decongest the old MacArthur Highway,” Morales noted.
CDC Environmental Department chief Juan Miguel Fuentes said the CDC had earmarked P90 million for the further development of the Mabalacat East Road, the backroad that will link Mabalacat Gate to the SM City Clark mall at the freeport’s main gate in neighboring Angeles City.
Morales urged the CDC to open the Dau- Clark Gate in time for Clark’s hosting the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit this January.
About 1,700 participants, including foreign government ministers, are expected to attend the month-long summit at Clark. Morales said the improvement of the Mabalacat East Road would “provide seamless ingress and egress within the city limits because the central business district of Dau is already congested particularly during peak hours.”
Morales said “the city government would like to see the opening of the vital road (East Road) for the benefit of the travelling public.” “Residents from the villages of Dolores, Atlu-Bola, San Joaquin, Poblacion, Sta. Ines, San Francisco and so forth can utilize the Mabalacat East Road in going to SM Clark or Angeles City.”
The Dau-Clark Gate was built during the time of the US military base which abandoned Clark in 1991 after almost a century of stay. Filipino workers at the former US facility used the gate for entry. When Mt. Pinatubo erupted in 1991, the gate provided access to a “tent city” built within Clark for victims of the eruption.
Morales and other Mabalacat officials expressed confidence that CDC President Arthur Tugade would act favorably on their petition. “The Mabalacat Business Club earlier also supports the opening of Dau-Clark Gate,” said businessman Alex Pineda said. | [

Cat Tesla's artwork includes both ethereal landscapes and abstract designs. and she is intrigued by texture, color, and the juxtaposition of shapes. Tesla's painting's subjects are organic, either originating from Mother Nature, or inspired by her. One of her goals with her work is to transport the viewer into a realm of calm and respite, or perhaps to bring to mind a memory of a favorite place, or loved one. Tesla cites a centuries old quote from Persian poet and mystic, Rumi; "Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don't claim them. Feel the artistry moving through, and be silent". Tesla's gorgeous originals gave our skilled artisans so much color, depth, movement, and light to work with. We've woven stunning textile art tapestries, well translating the artist's sensibilities and talent into fine wall art for your living space. | [

Hi folks, my name is Wrigley. I am a cute little chocolate female - don’t ya’ think?! I am 3 years old, spayed, housebroken, crate trained, good with kids, cats and dogs.
I don’t have a horrible story to tell. Actually I was very well cared for, my family loved me and did all the right things for me—including giving me to LRR.
My family consisted of a Mom, Dad, some small children, and my lab sister Georgia. Unfortunately, the family was “divorcing” and they were unable to keep me. They contacted LRR and the rescue people came to get me and Georgia.
So, even though I have been displaced, I am doing great. I have been in foster homes with lots of dogs, and we have played together. I am adjusting just fine, and I am having a good time - visiting the foster homes is like going to summer camp.
My foster families have said that I am very easy going, I am a great dog, and I have a dynamic personality. I can be a bit silly sometimes though! Oh, and I LOVE to give kisses, and more kisses and more kisses.
Be sure to check out Georgia’s info when it is on the website. She is a great girl too; she is at weight loss camp and I hear she is doing great! Very soon, she is going to be a glamour girl!
We’ll be looking for your applications, send them in soon! | [

The offshore market recognises that hydraulic pumping light well intervention (LWI) has the potential to significantly increase the productivity of many subsea wells, from high pressure injection of chemicals through to scale squeeze and formation fracking, designed to stimulate higher rates of productivity from reservoir formations.
70% of all operational subsea wells are now in excess of 5 years old and productivity is decreasing. With global demand for oil and gas still increasing, production costs rising and oil prices still depressed, light well intervention activities are naturally growing, as they allow higher oil production with minimised CAPEX. Light well intervention costs are also significantly less than new field costs, with the cost per barrel from intervention around one tenth the production cost from new fields, hence the steady recent growth of light well intervention. Average recovery without regular intervention is only 22% of available oil (Offshore Network report 2015). Based on the remaining 78% of global hydrocarbon reserves in subsea assets that could be recovered through intervention, just a 1% increase in recovery would be equal to 90 Billion BPD or the equivalent of 3 years of full global production at current levels.
Within the light well intervention market, hydraulic LWI market is still currently small and developing, but with significant potential. Whilst there is evidence that light well hydraulic pumping activities are already being contracted by some operators, the intensity of such activities is significantly lower than the industry might expect. The fact is that many people are talking about it, but few are doing it, for a whole range of different reasons, and many of which are also related to the limitations and risks of existing pipe technology. One of the biggest challenges is the number of subsea wells now operating in deeper water, where rig availability is more limited and their rates are higher than vessel costs for intervention work. This is another key reasons that the offshore industry does not already have a larger and more active sector focused on delivering efficient hydraulic light well intervention, as it has traditionally had reservations about the capabilities and risks of using smaller but cheaper and more readily available vessels for well intervention work.
For intervention the industry has successfully employed coiled tube and, to a lesser extent, non bonded flexible and jointed steel pipe for chemical injection operations. When such operations have been undertaken in shallower water under 300m (1,000ft), this has been relatively successful, as the pipe products are relatively cheap and intervention operations only require low intervention fluid pressures and medium-level flow rates. However, as depths, pressures, flow rates and the nature of the intervention fluids becomes increasingly challenging, existing coiled tube, steel and non bonded pipes reach the very limits of their design capabilities and other challenges that come from their relatively short life span. From conversations with large intervention contractors, Magma understands that the pipe factor is the key reason that they have been reticent to offer deep water fluid pumping services. This means that valuable intervention work is either avoided, missing potential production upsides, or conducted using a more expensive and complex MODU and full workover package. Coiled tube, drill pipe and non bonded flexible pipe have well-known issues that impact intervention service efficiency, pipe life and that limit their scope of application and the future successful expansion of the hydraulic stimulation market. There are many common challenges with existing pipe that include fatigue sensitivity, complexity of pipe management for vessel deployment, limited corrosion resistance, high relative deployment weight, limited diameter and pressure capability, limited intervention fluid flow rates and pipe longevity, longevity and associated replacement cost and the need for regular operational re-spooling.
The Magma intervention strategy has been to focus on the two key elements – a downline pipe specifically designed for deep water intervention, and an integrated compact back-deck vessel deployment system. This combination is developed with the objective of maximising the technical feasibility of hydraulic LWI operations, to accelerate the growth of this important market and to deliver against the immediate potential of maximising production and minimising cost and risk. Magma m-pipe® is a light, strong and flexible carbon fibre fluid delivery pipe, and the key component that delivers the high pressure intervention chemicals to the wellhead. In reality m-pipe® is a dynamic deep water riser system that delivers against all of the design and operational complexities that deep water, high pressure and high flow rate hydraulic intervention systems require. m-pipe® addresses the limitations of existing LWI pipe and is a high performance subsea riser pipe:
The fatigue resistance of m-pipe® is a key aspect of the system’s reliable intervention performance, as the pipe can be reeled thousands of times without significant degradation. Such resistance also means that the system can accommodate larger vessel motions during deployment, maximising operational windows and intervention campaign up time.
The Magma IDP is a single vessel back-deck package that manages all aspects of the m-pipe® riser including transportation, deployment and retrieval. It is compact and relatively lightweight and is specifically designed to fit on the back deck of small light well intervention vessels, construction vessels or even directly onto a stimulation vessel.

Overall, the new AR-18 rifle is much more conventional than previous ArmaLite designs, although it uses the relatively new stamped steel construction from its predecessor, the AR-16. Despite being pioneered by the Germans during WW2 in weapons such as the MP44, and later adopted for the Soviet AKM, the use of stamped and welded sheet metal components was still uncommon in the manufacture of military rifles in the West in the early 1960s, which had, until then, largely retained the use of traditional machined forgings. Compared to the smooth lines of the AR-15, the AR-18 faced criticism over its stamped and welded construction, which had demonstrably greater tolerances in parts fit. However, the rifle proved to be both reliable and very accurate at all ranges up to 460 metres (500 yards). Its simple construction promised significantly reduced production costs, and allowed it to be licence-produced locally on less advanced machinery, potentially reducing dependence on foreign manufacturers. Moreover, the gas piston operation of the AR-18 proved much more resistant to carbon fouling than the direct gas impingement system of the earlier AR-10 and AR-15 rifles, as it does not vent gas and carbon particles directly into the receiver.
The AR-18's action is powered by a short-stroke gas piston above the barrel. The gas piston is of 3-piece design to facilitate disassembly, with a hollow forward section with 4 radial gas vent holes fitting around a stainless steel gas block projecting rearwards from the foresight housing. The gas is vented from the barrel and travelled via a vent through the foresight housing into the hollow front section of the piston, which causes it to move rearwards a short distance. The rear end of the piston emerges through the barrel extension to contact the forward face of the bolt carrier, causing it in turn to move rearwards. The bolt itself is of similar configuration to the AR-15 with 7 radial locking lugs engaging corresponding recesses in the barrel extension, and the extractor in place of the 8th lug. The bolt is moved into and out of the locked position via a cam pin that engaged a helical slot in the bolt carrier, which rides on two metal guide rods (each with its own return spring) instead of contacting the receiver walls, providing additional clearance for foreign matter entering the receiver. Unlike the AR-15, the cocking handle fits directly into a recess in the bolt carrier and reciprocates with it during firing, allowing the firer to force the breech closed or open if necessary. The cocking handle slot has a spring-loaded cover that can be closed by the user to prevent debris entering the receiver, and it will open automatically as the bolt carrier moves rearwards after the first shot. The recoil springs are housed within the receiver, differing from the AR-15 which houses its more elaborate buffer mechanism in the buttstock. The AR-18's compact design enables the use of a side-folding stock with a hinging mechanism (which proved to be less than adequately rigid).
The sights are of similar design and sight picture to those of the AR-15 - a 2-position flip aperture rear sight and post foresight - but the rear sight is made of stampings. A notable change is the use of a more conventional lower sight line closer to the axis of the bore, in contrast to the elevated sights of the AR-15. A dovetail is spot welded to the receiver in front of the rear sight for a proprietary ArmaLite quick-detachable scope mount.
Overall, the design is simple and effective with some clever touches; for example the bolt guide rod assembly guides the bolt in the receiver, retains the recoil springs and the rear end of the top handguard, as well as serving as the latch holding the upper and lower receivers together in the closed position. Disassembly is somewhat similar to the AR-15, with the working parts accessed by the rifle pivoting open on a cross-pin immediately forward of the magazine well. | [

Growing up in a household where addiction is present can leave lasting emotional scars on individuals, shaping their lives well into adulthood. Adult Children of Addicts Therapy (ACoA) Therapy emerges as a vital resource in the journey of healing generational wounds. This article explores the profound impact of ACoA Therapy, unveiling the transformative process of recovery and empowerment for those who have experienced the challenges of addiction within their families.
Understanding the Impact:
Adult Children of Addicts often grapple with a unique set of challenges stemming from their upbringing. Exposure to substance abuse, inconsistent parenting, and the unpredictability that accompanies addiction can lead to deep-seated emotional wounds. ACoA individuals may struggle with issues such as trust, intimacy, self-esteem, and boundary-setting as they navigate adulthood.
The Essence of ACoA Therapy:
ACoA Therapy is designed to address the specific needs of individuals who have grown up in homes affected by addiction. Unlike conventional therapy, which may focus on individual issues, ACoA Therapy recognizes the systemic impact of addiction on family dynamics. It provides a safe space for individuals to explore and understand the complexities of their upbringing, fostering a sense of self-awareness and empowerment.
Core Components of ACoA Therapy:
- Group Support:
A key aspect of ACoA Therapy is the power of shared experience. Group therapy sessions bring together individuals who have faced similar challenges, creating a supportive community where participants can relate to each other’s stories. This sense of shared experience reduces feelings of isolation and builds a foundation for healing.
- Exploration of Family Dynamics:
ACoA Therapy delves into the intricate web of family dynamics impacted by addiction. Therapists guide individuals in exploring how addiction has influenced relationships, communication patterns, and emotional responses within the family unit. Understanding these dynamics is essential for breaking free from unhealthy patterns and fostering positive change.
- Communication Skills:
Many ACoA individuals struggle with effective communication, often stemming from the challenges of expressing emotions in an environment marked by addiction. ACoA Therapy focuses on developing healthy communication skills, enabling individuals to express their needs, set boundaries, and navigate interpersonal relationships more effectively.
- Building Resilience and Self-Esteem:
ACoA individuals may carry feelings of shame, guilt, or inadequacy. ACoA Therapy addresses these issues by fostering resilience and building self-esteem. Therapists guide individuals in recognizing their strengths, acknowledging their resilience, and reframing their narratives to focus on personal growth and empowerment.
- Emotional Regulation and Coping Strategies:
Exposure to addiction can lead to difficulties in regulating emotions. ACoA Therapy equips individuals with tools and coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and other emotional challenges. Mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, and emotional regulation skills are integrated into the therapy process to enhance overall emotional well-being.
Unveiling the Transformative Process:
- Acknowledgment and Acceptance:
A fundamental step in ACoA Therapy is acknowledging the impact of addiction on one’s life. This includes recognizing patterns of behavior, understanding the emotional toll, and accepting that healing is a valid and achievable goal. Acknowledgment serves as the foundation for the transformative journey ahead.
- Reframing the Narrative:
ACoA Therapy empowers individuals to reframe their life narratives. Therapists guide participants in understanding that their worth is not defined by their past experiences. By reframing the narrative, individuals can shift from a place of victimhood to one of resilience, recognizing their ability to overcome challenges and create positive change.
- Rebuilding Relationships:
Addiction can strain relationships within families. ACoA Therapy provides a platform for individuals to navigate the complexities of rebuilding or establishing healthy connections. This may involve setting boundaries, fostering open communication, and cultivating empathy for oneself and others.
- Empowerment Through Boundaries:
Setting and maintaining healthy boundaries is a crucial aspect of ACoA Therapy. Individuals learn to identify their needs and communicate them effectively, creating a framework for healthy relationships. Empowerment through boundaries is instrumental in breaking the cycle of dysfunctional patterns associated with addiction.
“Healing Generational Wounds: Adult Children of Addicts Therapy Unveiled” is not just a therapeutic approach; it’s a transformative journey toward self-discovery, healing, and empowerment. By providing a space for acknowledgment, exploration, and skill-building, ACoA Therapy guides individuals through the process of breaking free from the shadows of addiction. As participants unveil the layers of their experiences, they emerge stronger, more resilient, and equipped with the tools needed to navigate adulthood with a renewed sense of purpose and well-being. | [

An undescribed goby has been collected from several localities in the western troplcal Pacific, from Japan to Australia. This species is described as a new species,Fusigobius signiplnnis. It differs from other species ofFusigobius in pectoral ray counts, colouration, largely separate pelvic fins, and shape of the first dorsal fin. The species is found in groups on sand, frequently flicking its first dorsal fin. Males are larger than females in mean size. Sex ratios are uneven, and females are twice as numerous as males.

Proportional pressure relief valves, proportional pressure reducing valves Ø11
Direct-operated proportional pressure control cartridge for cavity MDPPR11 PI35. Due to the very compact installation dimensions, new application possibilities are offered. As standard versions, two pressure ranges are available. The adjustment is done by means of a Wandfluh proportional solenoid (VDE-Standard 0580). The solenoid as well as the housing bottom made of steel are zinc coated and therefore rust-protected.
Proportional pressure control valve
Slip-in cartridge construction
- Qmax = 3 l/min
- pmax = 450 bar
- pT max = 20 bar, pN red max = 48 bar
The compact valve has its application in hydraulic systems, in which the pressure frequently has to be varied. The facility of electric remote control of the valve, in conjunction with process control systems, makes economical solutions with repetitive sequences possible. Application fields are the pilot-operation of proportional spool valves, the driving of control pumps and motors as well as the controlling of the contact pressure of disc brake coatings. With the compact valve a minimum control oil volume is achieved. | [

No doubt waking up to a cooler breeze and fall leaves can be quite depressing coming back from those summer mornings with birds chirping and the sun already in the sky way before you even lift an eye. But to jumpstart your way into a warmer wardrobe, I’ll save you a trip to the shopping center by using the same clothes from summer.
1) Denim jacket
You can easily pair this with a thick hoodie, some black skinny jeans (can be ripped) and lastly, paired with some booties or comfy shoes and there you go; you are all set to face the crazy Santa Ana winds and weird California weather. Make sure you’re covering up this fall, Pios!
2) Weaved Belt
With this simple accessory you could pair with a cute boho-styled dress during the summer. Now transitioning to autumn, you can still use that same belt for your jeans. You can wear a simple long sleeve warmer and skinny jeans (denim, mostly likely) and a jacket with the belt paired with booties. If you are looking for a more done-up look to use for the belt, you can pair with a flowy blouse, a long chain necklace, a leather jacket, and still use denim and high-heeled booties or wedges.
3) Ripped Jeans
My favorite piece of clothing that you can wear all summer and fall long! This is the simplest, comfiest way into autumn. An outfit that can go great with these distressed jeans is a long knitted sweater and some tennis shoes such as vans or converse
4) Headscarves to Scarves
Silk to cotton scarves are an easy accessory for a summer to autumn wardrobe transformation. In the summer, you can use your scarf for a softer more bohemian feel to the beach or for a summer night bonfire. Once the fall comes around, you can use the scarf for a more utilized reason, for warmth. This outfit can go with something like knitted sweater, an army jacket, leggings or jeans, knee-high boots, and a warm hat. | [

David Harvey is a systems engineer with an interest in robotics and control. He holds a bachelor degree and a doctorate both in the field of mechatronics. His Ph.D. project involved the design and implementation of a robot capable of tracking an airborne plume to its source. The plume tracking algorithms developed were based upon observations of insect plume tracking behaviour. The successful testing of this robot in natural outdoor wind conditions was a world first. David has also worked on a range of other robotics projects in the fields of control and navigation both in a consultative and supervisory role. David is currently leading the Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) program at Aerospace Concepts. The immediate focus of this project is the development and use of an MBSE tool to assist in operational analysis and complex capability definition. | [

Newcastle United slipped into the relegation zone after a run of eight defeats in nine games, but Rafael Benítez believes the situation they find themselves in is to be expected as Amanda Staveley’s prospective takeover of the club rumbles on.
The 1-0 defeat by Arsenal, combined with West Ham’s 3-0 victory at Stoke, meant Newcastle dropped into the bottom three for the first time since the opening weekend of the season. But while his side played well and were perhaps unlucky not to secure a point Benítez admitted that their league position is not a surprise.
“I’m not happy with the situation,” he said when asked if he was feeling the pressure of events both on and off the pitch. “I don’t think the players are happy either. But if you analyse everything at the beginning [of the season], it’s to be expected. The main thing is to stay calm, to do our job properly, to have more chances to do well, win games and go up in the table.”
Benítez has consistently expressed his frustration that his team was not sufficiently backed in the summer transfer market as Mike Ashley prepared the club for sale. “We are what we are and we have what we have,” he said after the game, won by a brilliant Mesut Özil volley in the first half.
“We did so well for a while. Everyone was expecting we would be in the top 10, but we knew and said before, this team coming up from the Championship, we’re in a position that could be expected.
“The players you have in the Premier League, in teams that normally we would be around, they have players with Premier League experience. We have a young team that is learning every week, and sometimes we make mistakes.”
Newcastle have taken one point from their past nine games and if West Brom and Swansea win their games on Sunday and Monday respectively, they could be bottom of the table going into the busy Christmas period.
“The main thing for me is that the team is working,” Benítez said, suggesting that one win could turn his team’s confidence around and get them winning again.“These kind of games we are losing by one goal. The difference between us and teams above is not big.”Arsène Wenger praised Mesut Özil following his match-winning volley. “It’s superb, he can deliver that,” Wenger said. “It’s important for him that he takes the risk to do what he did. Usually he is a guy who, 99% of the time, in this position, he controls the ball and gives it to somebody else. So I’m pleased he took the gamble to finish and I’m happy as well that he scored a very important goal.”
Özil is out of contract at the end of the season but Wenger has insisted the club will not cash in and remains hopeful that Özil can be tied down to a new deal. “I’m confident, yes, but what does that mean? I don’t know,” he answered somewhat cryptically when asked whether Özil will stay. | [

Proper Football with Sean Dyche
By BBC Radio 5 live
Who regularly called Sean Dyche ‘My angel, my darling’? Could he do Pep Guardiola’s job at Manchester City? And why did he suggest Jose Mourinho was using Kammy ahead of a TV interview? The former Burnley manager answers these and more on this week’s Kammy and Ben’s Proper Football Podcast.
He talks about his sacking from Burnley, why joking with the press can backfire and how he came to meet the twins who sued Mark Zuckerberg over the creation of Facebook. He also recalls how good Sir Alex Ferguson’s wine was, how Steve Hodge nearly sold Maradona’s shirt for significantly less than £7 million and reaching the FA Cup semi final with League 1 side Chesterfield.
Meanwhile, Kammy remembers meeting the Queen, and how a major upset at the races stopped him visiting Her Majesty at Windsor Castle. He also reveals which current player is most similar to him and what you should never say when you’re the best man at a mate’s wedding.
To get in touch with Kammy and Ben, just email [email protected]. | [

The live casinos provide players with a realistic and social experience. They allow players to interact with dealers through a chat box. The chat box is usually monitored, and the dealers read the messages posted in it. This makes gambling social and engaging. Some casinos even permit players from the USA to play in live casinos. However, the best live online casinos will also provide excellent bonuses and safe gameplay options. Here are some of the benefits of live casinos:
One of the benefits of playing live casino games on mobile devices is the ability to enjoy real time gaming from the comfort of your home. There are a few ways to access live dealer games on a mobile device, including downloading the app. Alternatively, you can access them through your web browser. The best live casino apps will allow you to gamble for real money wherever you are. There are many online casinos that offer live dealer games for mobile devices, so you can choose the right one for your needs.
Alive casino gaming experience is an essential part of the overall gambling experience. While casinos have long dominated the gambling world, they continue to evolve. People love to try their luck and enjoy the social aspect of online gambling. Despite legal concerns in some countries, many casinos continue to thrive based on live casino games. This trend is only expected to grow. Aside from convenience, live casino games are also increasingly sophisticated and engaging. And with these benefits, you can bet that playing live casino games will continue to grow in popularity.
Aside from the benefits of live casino games for gamers, they also offer a unique gaming experience, bringing the casino experience to your screen. Live casino games allow you to interact with real dealers and other players. You can play your favorite games on the live stream, while conversing with the croupier will let you see the real casino environment. The speed of live games is slower compared to those of an online casino, but you won’t notice a difference between the two.
A live casino is similar to an online casino in many ways. The interface is similar to the one used by regular players, including the ability to place bets and use the chat function. The real-time games use a Roulette wheel, cards, and Random Number Generator, and the live dealer can interact with players in the game. This type of live casino is popular with gamblers who cannot go to their local casinos. A live casino also provides the opportunity for gambling enthusiasts to play their favorite games from the comfort of their home.
Unlike random number generators, live dealer games involve an element of skill. A live dealer oversees the game, which brings the action factor to a whole new level. It’s not a complete replica of the full-sense experience of a brick-and-mortar casino, but it’s a close second. In addition, you can interact with dealers through chat functions. A live casino game will make you feel like you’re actually on the casino floor. Immersive Roulette, for example, uses a special camera to replicate a virtual reality. The roulette ball will spin slowly, giving you a clear view of the dealer. | [

Plus-sizemodeling is generally a size 12 and up. Plus-size models are typically evaluated and cast based on dress size rather than body measurements. As a general rule, plus-size models are defined by the fashion industry as anyone larger than a size 6.Who is the most famous plus size model in the world?
Hayley Herms (5’6’’ / 1.68 m; N/A) Besides being one of the rising plus-size models in the industry, Hayley Herms is considered as the ultimate queen of the Nineties, grunge-inspired style, with her Instagram account being one of the most followed on this list. 9. Liris Crosse (5’11’’ / 1.80 m; 95 kg/ 210 lbs)Are plus-size models body positive?
When talking about plus-size models and the plus-size movement in general (which is a direct expression of the body positive movement), we need to begin by saying that the definition of plus size depends on a myriad of factors.What are plus sizes in clothing?
Someone will state that it depends on the height-weight ratio, while others will just declare that plus sizes unquestionably start at 12, 16 or 18. The fashion industry helps us a little with the definition here, as according to the modeling agencies, plus-size models are between 5’9’’ and 6’0’’ and wear a size 10/12 to 14/16. | [

The advancements in multifunction protection devices have given plant
personnel the ability to gain valuable insight into their electrical
system in an effort to maintain continuous process power. There are many acronyms used for these systems; SCADA, PMS, PMCS, ECMS, and PALMS just to name a few. They vary, however, in functionality and complexity. These systems can perform as passive systems primarily monitoring device data and status with limited control features, or they are active systems managing power quality, load transfers, sheds, and resorations, and make
decisions based on generation capacities, power losses, and power demands.
We have broad application knowledge utilizing the latest protocols and standards when required; our latest implementations included, IEC 61850 (Electrical Substation Design standard), IEEE1588 (Precision Time Protocol), and IEC62439 (Parallel Redundancy Protocol). | [

Diesel Cars are more efficient than any other variant for long driving trips. Larger in size, heavier body, and high resale value are some common Advantages and Disadvantages of Diesel Cars. So what really should come to your mind while buying a diesel car? The following pros and cons of diesel cars are going to be helpful to decide.
Diesel cars and trucks are commonly seen in the US and Europe, with the highest consumption of this energy source. About 50% of all new vehicles sold in Europe use diesel as their fuel source. Following are some advantages of diesel cars if you are considering buying one.
Diesel cars offer you better fuel efficiency and mileage than gas-powered or electric cars. Diesel contains more energy than 100% unleaded or ethanol/gasoline blends, which can increase the efficiency by 15% or greater compared to the “normal” vehicles sold today. This advantage of diesel cars lets you boost the mileage up to 35%.
Diesel cars are more durable than their gasoline counterparts. Gasoline and electric cars are manufactured with lighter parts and bodies, and tough and durable metallic components are used in diesel cars.
A lighter body helps gasoline cars accelerate faster but is prone to dents and damage. On the other hand, the heavier the diesel car, the stronger its external body against dents and hits.
One of the main Benefits of Buying a diesel car is that its value will not be affected even after years of use. Compared to its gasoline counterparts, a diesel-powered car has higher resale value as its engine remains in good shape over time. There will be a slight dip in its price, which only depends on how old its engine is. That means it won’t be hard to find a buyer for a used diesel car.
Diesel engines are specifically built for heavy-duty purposes. Even a small diesel-run car has a workhorse when there is a need for towing. The pulling power of a four-cylinder engine operating on diesel fuel is comparable to a six-cylinder gasoline engine. A diesel car may have a lower maximum speed, but that doesn't matter as long as towing is your main purpose.
Cold weather and icy conditions are the enemies of your car. Starting the engine is a major problem in winter and may deteriorate the car’s battery. It was a hell of a challenge if you owned a previous generation of a diesel car.
The modern diesel engine uses a pre-heating system that helps the vehicle start almost immediately. You can start a car’s engine even in extreme conditions, making it comparable to most gasoline engines today.
The new diesel-based cars have matched up to the demands of the current generation. Yet, some issues need to be considered. The following disadvantages of diesel cars force manufacturers to find alternatives.
Fuel emissions have always been a major concern with the use of diesel cars and trucks. Diesel engines contribute majorly to environmental pollution, which is one of the concerning disadvantages of diesel cars.
Diesel engine emission gases include Carbon Monoxide, unburned Hydrocarbons, Nitrogen Oxide, and particulate matter. The rate of pollution also differs depending on fuel type or rate of consumption, or engine operating speed. Fuel emission is the first concern while evaluating the pros and cons of diesel cars and trucks.
A car powered by diesel costs more than its gasoline variant. The cost of manufacturing a diesel car ultimately adds to the purchase value. This is because so much goes into building and designing a diesel engine than a gasoline variant.
The buyer ultimately will have to pay a premium price compared to a car that operates on standard gasoline. Also, diesel fuel usually costs more as compared to gasoline.
Even though a diesel car would be more efficient and cheaper for long-distance journeys, drivers have to face higher maintenance costs and service. The cost can be balanced with timely servicing. However, there will be a noticeable difference here with this disadvantage if your car needs frequent servicing.
Noise is one of the common problems that often count among the disadvantages of diesel cars. Gasoline cars, on the other hand, have less noise upon combustion. Most of the noise in gas-powered cars comes through the exhaust, which can only be silenced by placing a muffler.
Diesel-run cars emanate noise through the engine because it’s heavier. Even if insulation is provided to curb this noise, the clatter becomes another disadvantage to consider.
Diesel cars are more suitable for highways and long journeys. That said, frequent starts and stops of an engine would lead to wastage of fuel. To make your car fuel efficient, you need consistency and constant ignition. Buy a diesel cars only if you are plan is to drive the car long routes and highways.
Conclusion on pros and cons of Diesel Cars
After evaluating the diesel car pros and cons, you can understand pretty much about your own cars. Apparently, | [

To: Kan Naoto, Prime Minister of Japan
From: Tomiyama Yoko, Chairperson, Consumers Union of Japan (NPO)
March 18, 2011
Urgent Proposal Regarding Emergency Measures for Pregnant Women and Children in the Tohoku Region
Consumers Union of Japan is committed to a sound and healthy future for our children. We rely only on individual membership fees as the basis for our activities, thus ensuring the independence of our ideas as an NPO.
We feel very strongly for the people who have been affected by the huge earthquake and tsunami in the Tohoku region of Japan. There is very serious damage in many parts of the region. We are very concerned about the grave situation caused by the damage to the nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant. We are feeling particularly apprehensive about the influence of radioactivity on the residents in their immediate vicinity.
Since Consumers Union of Japan was founded in April, 1969, we have strongly appealed against nuclear power generation on the basis that radioactivity cannot coexist with living beings. There are no safe limits. We have tried to stop nuclear power before such a serious accident occurred, using all possible means at our disposal to cooperate and work together with other networks of concerned individuals and anti-nuclear groups.
We strongly request a conversion to an energy policy that does not depend on nuclear power generation.
We cannot help getting very angry and mortified about the reports of the severe damage at the Fukushima Nuclear Plant No. 1.
Currently, our misgivings are deepening regarding the exposure to the workers who are doing their utmost to prevent the worst case scenario from happening.
We strongly request that every measure is taken to ensure that the workers are not exposed to radioactivity.
In addition, we are concerned about the influence on the citizens living in the surrounding environment, in particular pregnant women and children. The effect on the embryo and on infants due to doses of radioactivity has been found to be about 10 times stronger than on children, and about 100 times stronger than on adults (National Academy of Sciences. NAS, 1972).
Hour by hour, the situation appears to be changing to a more serious state, as the forecasts of damage due to radioactivity have become more and more prominent.
We strongly propose the following while at the same time we sincerely request that thorough measures be taken so that the worst possible situation is not allowed to happen:
1. Immediately expand the evacuation zone to prepare for every contingency, and make every effort to help pregnant women and children in particular to take shelter at a further distance away from the damaged reactors at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant No. 1.
2. Ensure that every effort is made to provide the people in the evacuation zone with food and water that have not been exposed to or polluted by radioactivity. | [

I’ve been a fan of Mica Paris ever since her soul-pop classic One Temptation dropped in 1988.
Back then, being a young black girl from London, whenever someone who looked like me was on our screens I was enthralled. The music industry at the time was sparse of people of homegrown colour. Mica Paris emerged during the late 80s with her soulful husky tone, tall, elegant and dark-skinned, I was sold.
Fast forward to 2018 and the soul singing legend, turned Author (Beautiful Within: Finding Happiness and Confidence in Your Own Skin, 2008), TV and radio presenter (Soul Solutions, Radio 2, 2002, What Not to Wear, 2007) is about to embark on a UK tour, with her take on Jazz legend, Ella Fitzgerald’s classic songs.
It was an honour to catch up with Mica and talk about her journey…
1# How’s 2018 been so far?
It’s amazing, there’s a lot going on. I’m finishing my second book [it’s] about women in music, why we have it so hard. I’m back on Radio 2 which is exciting. I haven’t been on Radio 2 for two years, since my show Soul Solutions. Then I’m doing my new album of Ella Fitzgerald songs – Mica sings Ella with the Guy Barker Orchestra, I’ll be doing that the end of the month and that comes out in the summer. Then I’ve got the tour in February.
2# For the younger audience how would you introduce yourself?
I’m a singer first and foremost. I’ve been around 30 years this year, I’ve released 7 albums. I’ve done lots of things. radio, then I had a show on BBC What Not to Wear took over from Trinny and Susannah, did that for two years. Then I’ve done quite a few documentaries for the BBC. So you’ll see me pop up doing the odd things. It’s lovely having all these strings to my bow, it wasn’t something I planned but I’m not mad about it
3# When you look back on your career is there anything you’d have done differently?
Not really. Maybe, I had a very big career in America and lived in America about three times. But I kept coming back to England because of my children. I didn’t want my children to be raised there. I’m British I was born and raised here.
… There’s a special culture here, being British and Black …
There really is and you really appreciate it when you travel and live abroad. It’s a whole thing…
4# Is there anything available to music artists today that you wish you had during your career – social media, Soundcloud, YouTube?
There’s something really beautiful about the past. I don’t miss the fact that we didn’t have social media. What was nice in my time, was that artists were mysterious. That’s probably one of the most beautiful things that we had, that we’d sit down and wonder what they do. I used to think that about Prince before I met him, wondered what he had for breakfast… That’s the one thing I miss the most. I know far too much about everyone now.
5# Do you feel any pressure to keep up with it all?
I do. I just joined social media. Everyone was roasting me saying I had to get on social media. Instagram is my thing. I prefer it to all of them because it’s live and instant. It’s right there. I’m not very good at it but I’m learning. What worries me is that it can get a bit narcissistic. Sometimes I get a bit nervous about it being too much about me. But I take the piss out of myself, put up pictures of me rolling my eyes, ‘not another pic of Mica again’.
… you look damn good though, can’t be hard to find good pics to share…
I’m in that gym. You’ve got to do a good six days on the treadmill. I burn 300 calories in 29 minutes. Get it out of the way in the morning. It’s all about the running machine.
6# One of the inspirations behind The British Blacklist was the need to keep an archive of British Black talent. There’s not much commemorating British Black musicians, actors and creative artists over here, do you feel there’s a lack of respect or honouring of you and your peers?
I’ve known Lenny Henry for as long as my career. He’s had me on every single TV show he’s had, not just me, but many black artists. He’s been a fantastic supporter of black talent. We had a dinner recently | [

Gusty conditions associated with a mix of troughs bringing warm air across the country will gradually start to heat up southern states such as Victoria and South Australia as well in the coming days.
The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) has warned people at the NSW Southern and Central Ranges to brace for extreme fire danger, with a mix of hot, dry conditions and fresh westerly winds leading to serious risks.
In Sydney, some parts of the city's west will reach almost 40 degrees today, while the metro will sizzle through temperatures around the 35 degree mark.
In Brisbane, it'll be a steamy 34 degrees and sunny, at the Gold Coast it'll be a similar 31 degrees, Canberrans will see a cloudy but humid day with temperatures expected to reach 29 degrees, it'll be 28 and partly cloudy in Melbourne, 26 and fine in Adelaide and 26 degrees with a chance of showers in Perth.
Meanwhile, fresh data has revealed global ocean temperatures have "rebounded" to record-challenging highs this week, as the planet brushes off the cool influence of La Niña.
According to Weatherzone, now that La Niña has been officially declared over, the average ocean temperature has "increased at an alarming rate".
"Earth's ocean temperatures have been rising in recent decades due to the ongoing warming influence of climate change," Weatherzone said.

"According to data from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the global ocean temperature has increased by around 1 degree since 1900 and about 0.6 degrees since 1970.
"This background oceanic warming has been masked during the last two-to-three years by to the cooling influence of La Niña.
"However, La Niña is now over and our planet's average ocean temperature has started to increase at an alarming rate."

Virtual Antenna Technology: The Flexible and Off-the-Shelf Mobile Antenna Solution
November 28, 2013 // Aurora Andújar // 0 commentsDownload White Paper 1Mo
The fast pace of the wireless industry puts an enormous time-to-market pressure on the engineering of every new mobile device. Being in the heart of every mobile product, the design of the RF front-end and in particular, the antenna, becomes especially cumbersome as every product currently requires a fully customized antenna.
Fractus’ new Virtual Antenna technology has been conceived to address this particular issue, proposing a new standard antenna element, the miniature mXTEND Antenna Booster, to virtually replace every customized antenna in virtually every mobile product.

A musket is a long, front-loaded, over-the-shoulder gun. Muskets have been used in many wars, such as the American Civil War.
There are many types of guns. One that's gone out of style is the musket. This weapon of choice for infantrymen was distinctive in a few ways. It was fired over your shoulder (or sometimes mounted on a stand), and it had a very long barrel. It was also muzzle-loaded, which means it was loaded through the front of the gun, not the back, like most contemporary guns. | [

Legislators plan on introducing at least three LGBTQ-related bills in the upcoming legislative session, including one that would amend the New Mexico Human Rights Act. New Mexico Human Rights Act
Written in the 1960s, the New Mexico Human Rights Act could use a language update, according to Marshall Martinez, executive director of Equality New Mexico, a nonprofit that serves the LGBTQ community. One of the things the bill will bring, if passed, will be updated definitions of gender identity, gender and sexual orientation. “We’re crafting broad, expansive definitions to make sure this covers every person in New Mexico,” Martinez said. The second thing the bill will do is close what Martinez called “a loophole” that has always existed in the New Mexico Human Rights Act.
Equality New Mexico, a nonprofit that advocates for the state’s LGBTQ community, celebrates the 30th anniversary of its founding this year. Marshall Martinez, executive director of EQNM, said the organization plans a kickoff party in Santa Fe during the Legislative session and will continue to celebrate throughout the year. While the year-long festivities will be joyful, EQNM got its start in 1993 in a very different climate. Martinez said EQNM formed in response to the HIV crisis, which was still roiling through the LGBTQ community. “People were dying in massive numbers,” he said.
President Joe Biden signed an executive order earlier this month to expand equality for LGBTQIA+ individuals. The order is sweeping and involves several different federal agencies. It says that while the U.S. has advanced LGBTQIA+ rights in significant ways, much still needs to be done, particularly for transgender individuals and LGBTQIA+ individuals of color. Marshall Martinez, executive director of Equality New Mexico, said this is the “first time a sitting president has made such clear statements about queer and trans people.”
“It’s definitely a refreshing break from what we’ve been hearing and seeing so much of,” Martinez said. There has been an uptick of anti-trans bills introduced into state legislatures in recent years, according to LGTBQIA+ advocates.
If the Supreme Court’s leaked draft decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization becomes reality in late June or early July, New Mexico will remain what some have called “a beacon” of legal abortion care. The state legislature passed and the governor signed last year the Respect New Mexico Women and Families Act, which repealed old language from the criminal code banning abortion in 1969. While the antiquated language had not been enforceable since 1973, many policy makers worked to pass the repeal of the old ban before a conservative-leaning state challenged Roe v. Wade at the Supreme Court level. State Rep. Joanne Ferrary, D-Las Cruces, who was the lead sponsor on a previous version of the Respect New Mexico Women and Families Act, told NM Political Report that because of that “foresight,” to “fight forward” the state now doesn’t have to “fight backwards” on abortion rights. She said that, at this time, she is not preparing legislation for further protections on abortion in the state for the next session, beginning in 2023, because of the successful repeal of the ban in 2021.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on Fulton v. the City of Philadelphia is not likely to a impact the New Mexico LGBTQ community, legal experts and advocates have said. Fulton v. the City of Philadelphia asked the Supreme Court to decide if Catholic Social Services (CSS) could continue its contract with that city to help find foster families even though the city said it couldn’t because CSS discriminates against same sex couples in its fostering application. The Supreme Court heard the case last fall and when the U.S. Congress was considering Justice Amy Coney Barrett for nomination to the bench, members of the LGBTQ community in New Mexico worried that a more conservative bench could overturn precedent and allow discrimination, which in turn could have a ripple effect in New Mexico. Related: U.S. Supreme Court could roll back LGBTQ equality
But, Ellie Rushforth, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, said the court’s decision in June was so narrow it would only apply to this particular case wouldn’t likely have an impact in New Mexico. “I disagree with the finding but what the court said is, because the city contract contained a mechanism for offering individual discretion to the agencies, the court held the city could not refuse to extend the contract to Catholic Social Services,” she said.
A bill to protect people in school or the workplace from discrimination based on their hair or hairstyles passed 37 to 0 in the Senate Thursday. SB 80 would amend the New Mexico Human Rights Act to prevent discrimination based on cultural or religious headdresses and protective hairstyles and would prevent school districts and charter schools from disciplining children based on their hair, hairstyle or cultural | [

If we find vegetation that needs to be cleared on your property, we’ll leave a notice in your letterbox or knock on your door to discuss.
You’re responsible for clearing vegetation (trees, branches and shrubs):
- on your property to keep your service cable clear. The service cable is the cable that runs from the power pole on the street to the front of your property
- on your property to keep ANY private overhead electric line (POEL) clear
- if the vegetation planted on your property and has fallen over – for example, a tree branch that falls from a tree planted on your property and lands on the nature strip or in a neighbouring property.
We are responsible for clearing vegetation (trees, branches and shrubs) on:
- private property when we’re keeping an AusNet owned main powerline clear
- private property to keep a neighbours service cable clear, if this cable spans across your property. The service cable runs from the power pole on the street to the front of a property.
- on public land where local government is not responsible for maintaining the vegetation.
We do this in collaboration with our trusted delivery partners, ETS Infrastructure Management and Active Trees Services.
We’ll give you at least 14 days’ notice before we start clearing vegetation, giving you an opportunity to discuss this work with us. However, if emergency pruning or clearing works are necessary, state legislation allows us to enter private property without notice to inspect powerlines and carry out work to ensure public safety.
Local government (council or shire) obligations
Your local Council or Shire is responsible for clearing vegetation (trees, branches and shrubs) on some public areas, like nature strips at the front of properties, parks or along the roadside. We’ll also support the local Council or Shire when required. | [

Gazprom trunk gas pipeline ablaze after leak in Russia
MOSCOW, July 26 (Reuters) - A trunk pipeline belonging to Russian gas giant Gazprom leaked and caught ablaze in the Perm region on Monday but no one has been hurt, the company said.
Part of the Urengoy-Center 2 gas pipeline was ruptured and caught fire near the river Sylva, which is about 1,390 km (860 miles) east of Moscow, Gazprom said.
The company added that gas was being supplied to customers via parallel pipelines. (Reporting by Vladimir Soldatkin; Editing by Pravin Char) | [

St Ann's Square, Looking North
Photographer: Brothers, Alfred
Medium: Photographic print
"St. Ann's Square has experienced many transformations...The erection of St. Ann's Church in 1712, gave an impetus to building in the locality, and power was obtained to erect dwellings on the sides of the fair-ground...private residences have given way to public establishments, and buildings of modern style have taken the place of those on which the wealthier traders of Manchester dwelt during the reign of the Georges, though in one respect it remains the same - it is now, as of yore, the fashionable promenade, the lounging-place of the city, and, as a pleasant writer has expressed it, 'the chosen spot for accidental rencontres.'
In the centre of the Square, upon a lofty pedestal, is a bronze statue, by Marshall Wood, of the great apostle of Free Trade - Richard Cobden - erected by public subscription, and presented to the Corporation in the name of the Subscribers, by the late Mr. George Wilson, the chairman of the Anti-Corn-Law League, April 22, 1867."

POULSEN SKONE VINTAGE FULL-SADDLE LOAFERS - BROWN / TAN - UK 9.5 - EXCELLENT CONDITION. A very fine, elegant pair of gentlemen's semi-brogue loafers in beautiful brown / tan burnished calf leather from Poulsen, Skone & Co of Jermyn St, London. They are in excellent used condition, overall. Notwithstanding a little creasing across the vamps and the odd surface mark here and there (see photos).This is an extremely rare design to see, so you will be most unlikely to ever meet anyone else wearing the same shoes as you - always a nice feeling, I think. This pair have been professionally fitted with brand new'non-slip' rubber'over-soles' and are unworn since then. The width fitting is'D' - which is a'narrower-than-standard' width fitting. The shoes feature burnished calf leather uppers, full leather linings and leather soles. Wonderful quality shoes from a traditional English shoemaker.
Arrived on time and well packed up. Extremly great shoes and just as described.
Very good, outstanding item, 10/10, wish everyone was this good. | [

Soundless Mountain II is a NES-style remake of Konami's Silent Hill 2 created by Jasper Byrne for TIGSource's demakes competition, where the story is centered around the protagonist's search for his missing wife Kate in a seemingly-deserted old town. The adventure starts off slow as players are introduced to the use red squares to save their progress, interaction methods with objects and also initiating conversations with characters. Combat begins soon after you've discovered a weapon to protect yourself against the enemies you will face in this game.
Use the Z key to examine items, select an option or strike at an enemy with a weapon. Press the X key to enter or exit combat mode, or to cancel a selection. The M key is used to display your map, while pressing the space key allows players to access the inventory screen.
This remake holds more of a nostalgic value than anything else, as most of the scenes will confuse players who are unfamiliar with the revered cult classic. The meeting with Pyramid Head does not happen here as well, since the game ends abruptly after you've made your way into the run-down apartment. | [

Lighting can play magic in photography. A capable photographer is one who can explore the possibilities of natural and artificial lights. An imaginative mind and creative concepts distinguish an excellent photographer from a normal one.
Using dim light, spotlight, natural light, coloured light and shades would determine how the images appear. Ensure to make the best use of lights. For that matter, the moments you capture are the golden memories for a couple and their family. Every image should stand out and pull them into the festivity of their wedding time.
Errors and improper lighting can affect the beauty of wedding photography. It would definitely displease the client. Furthermore, the negative impression created can lead to the end of your career as a professional wedding photographer. Learn to use lighting intelligently. Practice it to perfection, to earn a name among the wedding photographers.
Explore the Possibilities of Natural Light
Nothing is as magnificent as natural light. A photographer can design the themes and plan poses considering the intensity, direction and availability of natural light. Many a time, wedding photographers may try unplanned concepts. And those may come out excellent when the photographer has enough experience blended with imagination.
A quick study of the natural light and calculation of the effect on the images is necessary. Before you proceed with the shots. We suggest you practice natural light photography, in varying light conditions, to learn the art of using natural light.
When we say about natural lights, you should not expect to click all the photos in the golden hour. Diffusing the sun would become essential to improve the images. Additionally, the shadows should be removed with adequate illuminations.
Using the Available Light Brilliantly
Not only light but also shadow can play a role in augmenting the aesthetic appeal of an image. Available light means anything including sunlight, LED, candles, incandescent light, bonfire, neon lamp and illuminative lighting. The skill lies in utilizing the sources in the right way.
Diffused directional lighting is known to produce stunning outputs. The photographer must be able to use the diffused lighting effectively to add an aura to the results. Being easier said than done, the real game lies in planning the photo sessions during the busy wedding ceremonies and in between them.
The bridegroom may be directed to pose facing the light. A 45-degree angle with the light source might give a more appealing effect. The clients may be asked to face a shaded area, to get the intended result. Usage of available reflectors needs to be tried to gain the best outcome.
Photographers nowadays don’t prefer camera flash much. Off-camera flashes are trending. Nonetheless, on-camera flash is the best option when you are all by yourself. Situations may arise when the camera assistant is away for some requirement or busy with some other work. You cannot expect the bridegroom’s family members to act as your assistant during such cases.
On-camera flash would be the reliable option in those times. Manual control of the flash settings is advisable if you are using on-camera flash. Smooth lighting can be achieved by deciding the effect of light and adjusting it accordingly.
Diffusing the flashlight is important. Otherwise, it can turn harsh on the subject’s face. Since it is a known thing, photographers can be seen using plastic elements to reflect the light. Instead of flashing it, directly onto the subject’s face. Pre-wedding photoshoots may not require on-camera flashes. As the professional wedding photographer along with assistants would be available at the pre-planned location and pursuing a tailored concept.
Flexibility to use it wherever one wants makes LED panels a preferable option for photographers. It is quite handy and can be fixed on light stands easily. During the busy Indian wedding ceremonies, wherein the photographer would be on the toe, static LED panels play a pivotal role in offering adequate lighting. Placing the light at a 45-degree angle would deliver optimal results.
LED lights are not harsh in general. The subject can face it without any difficulty. Adjust the brightness of the LED panel according to the light requirement. Option to choose from warm and cool lighting makes the LED panels right for wedding photography.
Off-camera flash is more popular than on-camera flash due to the advantages it offers. Soft lighting is easier with the off-camera light facility. Dramatic wedding photography can be comfortably conceived with the off-camera lighting set up. Expert wedding photographers use various off-camera flash modes including off-camera flash with MagMod, Off-camera flash with umbrella, and off-camera flash with softbox. With the popularity of pre-wedding photoshoots, advanced methodologies are also instituted in those photo sessions as well.
You should hire only a proven photographer for pre-wedding photoshoots and wedding photography. Avoid taking the chance of trying a comparatively new photographer, just to save a few bucks. Wedding is a once in a lifetime moment. And the photographer must be innovative enough to augment it | [

Ahead of next week's federal government hosted national summit on women's safety, federal Labor is pledging almost $27 million to expand Working Women's Centres across the nation and to establish one-stop shops to assist sexual harassment victims.
Working Women's Centres provide free and confidential information, advocacy, support and advice to women on work related issues, including sexual harassment, wage theft, and discrimination. The centres currently operate only in Queensland, South Australia and the Northern Territory.
If elected, an Albanese Labor government has promised $24 million to ensure new and what it describes as properly funded Working Women's Centres in every Australian state and territory.
It is also pledging $1.27 million to establish a one-stop shop, within the Australian Human Rights Commission, to assist victims of workplace sexual harassment.
Labor proposes that employers would also access the one-stop shop so they can understand their responsibilities.
The Human Rights Commission would also receive $1.5 million under Labor, to hear and confidentially document the experiences of victims of historical workplace sexual harassment.
Federal Labor's package of working women's support measures comes days ahead of the two-day national summit on women's safety which will now be held online and later in the year than expected due to Australia's COVID-19 third wave.
More than 300 people are due to attend the summit, which will include sessions on financial security, policing and justice responses, and sexual violence.

|Introduction Although autogenous grinding applications date back to the early years of mineral processing when tumbling-type mills were first used, there has been a renewed interest in this type of grinding over the past few decades. A review of the historical aspects of autogenous grinding is provided which follows the development of the various types of mills and processes. Wet and dry grinding operations using either autogenous or semiautogenous mills, including the Aerofall mill, are described. Em¬phasis has been placed on the test work required to evaluate the feasibility of using autogenous or semiautogenous grinding for a spe¬cific application. The factors which must be considered to establish the appropriate design criteria for these types of grinding circuits are discussed in detail. Successful application of these grinding circuits results from a thorough test program, a careful analysis of the test results, and a practical engineering approach to the design of the process flowsheet and milling equipment. Certain pebble milling applications, where the pebbles consist of the ore or rock itself, can be classified as autogenous pebble mill grinding, or better known as ore-pebble mill grinding. In the generic sense, pebble milling includes those grinding operations using a tum¬bling mill in which the grinding media consists of various types of pebbles, either ore or other pebbles, instead of metal balls. Conse¬quently, this subject is covered separately in Chapter 5, Pebble Mills. Operating data from many of the installations located throughout the world are included in this chapter. Our appreciation is extended to those companies who contributed this important information. History of Autogenous Grinding F. C. BOND Autogenous grinding, the grinding of ore by itself rather than by special metallic or nonmetallic grinding bodies distinct from the ore, has an old and honorable place in the art of mineral processing. It antedates the use of the rod mill and is only a few years younger than the development of the continuously fed rotating tumbling mill in which it is accomplished. Its history71, 72 is inextricably bound up with that of gold mining. Every important early development of autogenous grinding took place on ores of gold, except in one case of silver ore. In common with many other features of modern mineral processing, autogenous grinding would have been greatly retarded if the winning of gold had been so small a part of mining in the past as it is today. Gold unlocked the secrets of rock-on-rock grinding. In years past gold ores were crushed in stamp batteries and then flowed over copper plates covered with mercury which amalgamated the gold. The McArthur Forrest cyanide process for the dissolution of gold in a dilute alkaline cyanide solution appeared in 1890. With finer grinding it recovered more gold than could be won by amalgama¬tion alone. The first response was to stamp in cyanide solution and finer mesh screens guarding the stamp discharge. However, the fine screens greatly restricted the tonnage stamped, and they wore out rapidly. Rotating tumbling mills70, 73 were the obvious choice to grind the coarse product from stamps. Many of these were Gates tube mills; more than 1,000 of these were sold between 1907 and 1913. They were made in 6, 51h, and 5 ft diam, with lengths of 20 and 22 ft. The 5 x 22-ft size was the most popular. The term tube mill did not refer to the mill shape, but included all tumbling mills using grinding pebbles. The flint or chert rocks found along the coasts of Denmark and Normandy are probably the most durable and resistant to abrasive and tumbling wear of any on earth. They were much used in the early tube mills. The early linings were all silex or Danish flint blocks, cemented into place with portland cement. Local hard stones or cast iron blocks were also used later. The cast iron liners carried lifters and were not bolted to the shell, but were held in a tight circle against it by steel wedges hammered home between them. The first ribbed metal liners designed to hold grinding pebbles pounded into them by the mill action were developed at El Oro, Mexico, about 1905. These and the Forbes, Komata, and Tonopah types, as well as the Osborne type developed in South Africa within about five years, were very successful in reducing liner wear. They sometimes lasted two years or more, and equalled or exceeded the life of silex lining at a lower cost. Some of the types were patented. The pioneer name recorded in the history of autogenous grinding is that of Kenneth L. Graham. In 1907 at the Geldenhuis Deep Ltd. mine near Johannesburg, he ran a comparative test on two tube mills. One mill used pieces of the common gold ore, or banket, | [

Seeing Things: Television in the Age of Uncertainty Summary
Television, the author argues, responds to two powerful desires of our age: it makes us witnesses of often traumatic events and it tries - and fails - to provide us with narratives that make sense of the world. The author makes sense of modern television, both by exploring its processes and in terms of its dynamic relationships with the cultures that provide it with raw material. Television, he proposes, offers us multiple ways of understanding the world, yet does not arbitrate between them. He explores this process as one of "working through", whereby television news takes in the chaos and conflict of the world and subsequent programmes of all kinds offer diverse ways of unravelling its confusions, from the psychobabble of talk shows to the open narratives of soaps, documentaries and dramas. By means of this working through, problems are exhausted rather than resolved. The author demonstrates how television's function in its new era is no longer that of building consensus; rather it uses all the means at its disposal, including sophisticated computer graphics, to mediate between conflicting approaches to our age of uncertainty.

M. S. El-Shimi, H. A. Awad, M. A. Abdelwahed, M. H. Mohamed, S. M. Khafagy, G. Saleh, "Enteral L-Arginine and Glutamine Supplementation for Prevention of NEC in Preterm Neonates", International Journal of Pediatrics, vol. 2015, Article ID 856091, 7 pages, 2015. https://doi.org/10.1155/2015/856091
Enteral L-Arginine and Glutamine Supplementation for Prevention of NEC in Preterm Neonates
Objective. Evaluating the efficacy and safety of arginine and glutamine supplementation in decreasing the incidence of NEC among preterm neonates. Methods. Prospective case-control study done on 75 preterm neonates ≤34 weeks, divided equally into L-arginine group receiving enteral L-arginine, glutamine group receiving enteral glutamine, and control group. Serum L-arginine and glutamine levels were measured at time of enrollment (sample 1), after 14 days of enrollment (sample 2), and at time of diagnosis of NEC (sample 3). Results. The incidence of NEC was 9.3%. There was no difference in the frequency of NEC between L-arginine and control groups (). NEC was not detected in glutamine group; L-arginine concentrations were significantly lower in arginine group than control group in both samples while glutamine concentrations were comparable in glutamine and control groups in both samples. No significant difference was found between groups as regards number of septic episodes, duration to reach full oral intake, or duration of hospital stay. Conclusion. Enteral L-arginine supplementation did not seem to reduce the incidence of NEC. Enteral glutamine may have a preventive role against NEC if supplied early to preterm neonates. However, larger studies are needed to confirm these findings. This work is registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01263041).
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is primarily a disease process of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract of premature neonates that results in inflammation and bacterial invasion of the bowel wall. Although research has presented an interesting array of potential contributing factors, the precise etiology of this multifactorial disease process remains elusive.
Arginine and glutamine are considered classically to be “conditionally essential” and recently are considered functionally essential amino acids [2, 3]. Arginine is the precursor for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) by NO synthase. Endothelial NO, an important regulator of vascular perfusion, is an anti-inflammatory chemical mediator and vasodilator involved in the maintenance of mucosal integrity, intestinal barrier function, and regulation of intestinal mucosal flow in the face of inflammation or injury. Inhibition of NO synthesis in a variety of animal models in which bowel injury is induced increases the area of intestinal damage. Recent studies reported possible value of arginine supplements for preventing severe, damaging inflammation of NEC in preterm infants [4–6].
Glutamine is essential for the growth, survival, and physiological health of actively dividing cells such as enterocytes. Undergoing rapid growth, preterm infants are most likely to be exposed to severe glutamine deficiency more than term infants. Recent evidence indicates that glutamine preserves the gut barrier function and prevents permeability to toxins and pathogens under various conditions of gastrointestinal mucosal injury. Glutamine is considered the most important nutrient for healing of “leaky gut syndrome” because it is the preferred fuel for enterocytes and colonocytes.
In this study, we hypothesized that enteral supplementation of L-arginine and glutamine may help in prevention of NEC. Thus, we aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of arginine and glutamine supplementation in decreasing the incidence of NEC among preterm neonates.
2. Subjects and Methods
This prospective case-control interventional study was conducted at NICU of Maternity Hospital of Ain Shams University and NICU of Matareya Hospital, Cairo, Egypt, over a period of 26 months from January 2011 till March 2013. The study was approved by the Ethical Committee of the Pediatric Department at Ain Shams University. An informed written consent was obtained from one of the parents before enrollment of the patients. This work is registered in ClinicalTrials.gov (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01263041).
Neonates included in the study were 75 premature infants with gestational age ≤34 weeks assigned to receive enteral feeding within their first week of life. Newborns with congenital malformations, chromosomal abnormalities, suspected inborn error of metabolism, and sepsis, those with evidence of intraventricular hemorrhage grade ≥II on cranial ultrasound scan, with intestinal surgery, or any contraindication to early enteral feeding, were excluded from the study.
For all preterm neonates included in the study, gestational age was calculated based on the | [

The little big winner: the Stuff Top Car for 2020 is the Toyota Yaris
/ in News
To be brutally honest, no one here thought we would ever be writing the words “The Stuff Top Car for 2020 is the Toyota Yaris”, but that just adds to all the other stuff we never thought we would see, hear or say, but did in 2020.
Yep, that’s right – the Toyota Yaris is our pick for the best car we drove in 2020.
But it’s not only that – the Yaris also took out the Top Compact/Small Car category and the Top Hybrid category for good measure.
And it thoroughly deserves the titles as well. All-new from the ground up, the Yaris is now based on the same excellent TNGA (Toyota Next Generation Architecture) platform as the likes of the Prius, Corolla and last year’s Top Car titleholder, the RAV4.
The TNGA platform brings the same surprisingly engaging feel to the Yaris that it endowed the Corolla and RAV4 with, but the Yaris takes it even further by being lighter and packing a thoroughly brilliant 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine that is both charmingly growly and brutally fuel efficient, even in non-hybrid form.
But that hybrid is where you want to look if you want truly serious fuel sipping, particularly buzzing around in an urban environment. You see the Yaris hybrid if something that hybrids have been long-promised to be (and EVs actually are) in that it is more fuel efficient at urban speeds than open road speeds – our first experience with a Yaris saw us register a frankly remarkable average consumption of just 2.8l/100km during a week urban pottering.
It wasn’t just the supreme frugality of the hybrid that swung the Top Cars needle the Yaris’ way either – the level of equipment and technology you get for your investment in a Yaris is deeply impressive too, with every model – yes, even the rental special base model GX – coming with Toyota’s Safety Sense package of driver aids and assists that consists of adaptive cruise control, a pre-collision system with autonomous emergency braking, pedestrian and cyclist detection and intersection turn assist, as well as automatic high beams, lane keep assist and even road sign assist that detects and displays the speed limit. | [

The Litens OAD type pulley is designed to free-wheel in one direction and, with an internal spring and damping device, softly engage in the opposite direction. The OAD is designed as a sacrificial part of the front-end accessory drive system, protecting other belt driven component as well as the alternator. The correct decoupler pulley ensures smooth, quiet performance, as well as, increasing vehicle gas mileage. Under normal driving conditions, the original pulley will require replacement in approx. 45,000 - 75,000 miles.

Dani Martínez experienced predicted that the Tour de France hierarchy at Ineos Grenadiers would not be made a decision on the climb of Tremendous Planche des Belles Filles but, as the dust settled, Geraint Thomas emerged as the British tremendous team’s ideal finisher and now spearheads their trident of GC riders.
Race chief Tadej Pogačar (UAE Crew Emirates) surged absent with Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) in the steep remaining 200 metres of the race’s initially summit end, but Thomas concluded fifth at only 14 seconds, just guiding Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma).
Adam Yates fought the gradient to end ninth at 29 seconds, with Martínez even more back again at 45 seconds. Tour debutant Tom Pidcock also amazed, ending in the exact time as Martinez.
Pogačar obtained a further 10-second time reward by edging past Vingegaard to acquire the phase and now sales opportunities the Dane by 35 seconds. Thomas is up to 3rd at 1:10, rising three areas and previous Yates, who is fourth at 1:18. Pidcock is seventh at 1:35 and 2nd in the ideal younger rider competition at the rear of Pogačar. Martínez slipped to eighth at 1:55 but will undoubtedly increase up the GC in the significant mountains.
Thomas identified as on the Ineos Grenadiers workforce to use their toughness in numbers correctly.
“It’s very good that we’re all there,” he reported at the summit. “We have not accomplished a good mountain phase but and we’re in there. Likely into the subsequent two months we’ll try out to use those people figures well and not just assault at random.”
Thomas is aware of the challenge he and Ineos Grenadiers deal with towards Pogačar and Vingegaard but with each individual fantastic performance on each critical phase, he is escalating in self-confidence. He was equally as strong in the 2019 Tour de France on the Planche des Belles Filles and went on to end 2nd overall.
“In 2019 it was a related factor. I’m delighted to have been in the mix,” Thomas said. “Obviously Pogačar is solid. He can experience the cobbles, dash on uphill finishes, and can get sprints, he’s bought it all.”
Nevertheless, he did not share the look at that the Slovenian was invincible, highlighting opportunity weaknesses in his crew as cause for optimism.
“He has [Rafal] Majka who is riding properly and [George] Bennett is decent, as well. But the rest [of his team] have been struggling at climbing, so ideally we can use our quantities on him at some position. We’re going to undoubtedly test and we’ve got three fellas to check out it.
“Of system it’s not just Pogačar we have got to attempt and defeat. Jumbo-Visma are also potent. But we’re in the blend, which is the key thing. We’re there or there or thereabouts, so we can unquestionably test to use people figures.”

Adam Yates jumped into an ice-tub, established from a child’s paddling pool, right after driving down to the Ineos Grenadiers team bus parked 7 kilometres from the complete line to assistance his restoration from the heat and hard racing.
He wasn’t too worried about getting rid of a couple of seconds on the dirt highway to the summit of Tremendous Planches des Belles Filles, and was content to be in the top 10 with his teammates and with numerous solutions as the substantial mountains close to.
“I like to go out of the saddle and use a significant gear but on a surface like this, you never go extremely fast. It is what it is. G (Geraint) was up there and we are all nevertheless in the mix,” Yates described, hunting at the extensive video game and the really hard racing nonetheless to arrive in the Alps and Pyrenees.
“It truly is likely to be a extended 3 weeks. We are heading to have 3 fellas in GC for as extensive as achievable and ideally, come the final 7 days, we can reassess and see what we can do.
“Both Pog (Pogačar) and Rog (Roglič), in addition Jonas Vingegaard, are likely so properly that it is really tough to defeat them one on a single. If we have three guys preventing and not too much down, | [

Men decide faster than women about books they like, according to a study by Jellybooks. The research showed men give up after 20 to 30 pages if they don’t like a book.
“Men give up on a book sooner than women,” according to Jellybooks founder Andrew Rhomberg in an article for Digital World. “Given the identical completion rates, we take this to mean that men have either more foresight in this regard or that women continue reading even if they already know that the book is not to their liking. We suspect the latter but we cannot prove at this point,” said Rhomberg.
Jellybooks, a U.K.-based startup, surveyed readers who received free e-books in exchange for data about their reading habits. Jellybooks embedded software into advanced review copy (ARC) of books, which recorded the survey participants’ reading habits online and offline. Part of Jellybooks’ mission is to study book discoverability and reader analytics.
Reading Research Results
Here are some of Jellybooks’ survey results:
- The study wanted to see if the completion rate of reading a book was gender specific. The answer: No. Both sexes have an equal probability of finishing a book.
- Key influencers on reading completion rate were not gender but a book’s writing style, strength of characters, topics, and other factors. This holds true across literary fiction, genre fiction, and nonfiction.
- Age more than gender is a stronger determining factor if a person is going to stop reading a book. Readers between ages 35 and 45 were more likely to give up than younger or older readers.
- More women than men participated in the study, which is consistent with data that more women than men buy and read books.

A day after Steve Kerr told Monte Poole on The Warriors Insider Podcast that he used marijuana twice over the last year and a half, players around the league are offering their take on the use of pot in the NBA.
The latest is former Warriors center Andrew Bogut.
According to ESPN's Tim MacMahon, Bogut had this to say on Saturday evening prior to the Mavericks game against the Bulls.
"I've never tried it. I don't know how much it helps, but from what I heard from guys who are retired and have chronic injuries, they say it helps a lot. Like I said, you are bringing a big can of worms if you allow it [without restrictions]. If you have open season, you're going to have guys, I guarantee you're going to have people playing in a game or practicing high. It's just the reality of it. You have guys in pro sports playing hungover. You have guys come to practice drunk sometimes. That's how it is. If you all of the sudden can smoke, although there are a lot of positives to it, the downside is you could possibly have a lot of guys that are not 100 percent in the present. I think that's why the league is saying what it's saying. But as far as it being legal in society, it should be fine to be legal. It's a plant, it's an herb, it's a weed. … People that I've known that smoke, friends of mine, they're the most chill kind of people ever. They don't want to cause problems or fight. They usually just want to get a bag of Cheetos and sit there and watch TV or whatever. I think the effects of alcohol are far worse than weed can ever be."
Bogut played for Kerr the last two seasons before being traded to Dallas this offseason.
Earlier on Saturday, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson offered their support for Kerr. | [

The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most produced aircraft in history. An aircraft is a machine that is able to fly by gaining support from the air. The aircraft brake system pdf activity that surrounds aircraft is called aviation.
Crewed aircraft are flown by an onboard pilot, but unmanned aerial vehicles may be remotely controlled or self-controlled by onboard computers. Each of the two World Wars led to great technical advances. Pioneers of flight, from the earliest experiments to 1914. First World War, 1914 to 1918.
Aviation between the World Wars, 1918 to 1939. Second World War, 1939 to 1945. Postwar era, also called the jet age, 1945 to the present day. Aerostats use buoyancy to float in the air in much the same way that ships float on the water. A powered, steerable aerostat is called a dirigible.
Non-rigid dirigibles are characterized by a moderately aerodynamic gasbag with stabilizing fins at the back. This dynamic movement through the air is the origin of the term aerodyne. Aerodynamic lift involving wings is the most common, with fixed-wing aircraft being kept in the air by the forward movement of wings, and rotorcraft by spinning wing-shaped rotors sometimes called rotary wings. A wing is a flat, horizontal surface, usually shaped in cross-section as an aerofoil.
With powered lift, the aircraft directs its engine thrust vertically downward. Rocket-powered missiles that obtain aerodynamic lift at very high speed due to airflow over their bodies are a marginal case. The forerunner of the fixed-wing aircraft is the kite. Whereas a fixed-wing aircraft relies on its forward speed to create airflow over the wings, a kite is tethered to the ground and relies on the wind blowing over its wings to provide lift. The first heavier-than-air craft capable of controlled free-flight were gliders. A glider designed by George Cayley carried out the first true manned, controlled flight in 1853. Besides the method of propulsion, fixed-wing aircraft are in general characterized by their wing configuration.
Braced or cantilever, rigid, or flexible. Location of the horizontal stabilizer, if any. A variable geometry aircraft can change its wing configuration during flight. A flying wing has no fuselage, though it may have small blisters or pods. The opposite of this is a lifting body, which has no wings, though it may have small stabilizing and control surfaces. Wing-in-ground-effect vehicles are not considered aircraft. | [

Delft Solids Solutions determines the powder properties of your bulk solids
Many industrial processes involve bulk solids, such as granular solids and bulk powder. The flowability of powder in bulk can be affected by a large variety of physical characteristics, such as density, compressibility, cohesiveness, humidity, particle size distribution and shape. With its excellent powder analysis services, Delft Solids Solutions can test and characterize the powder properties of your bulk solids. This can help you to understand, control and optimize the processing and handling of your bulk materials.
A wide range of modern techniques is employed, including Heubach and Stauber Heubach dust analysis, shear testing according to Jenike (ASTM D 6128), Schulze (ASTM D 6773) or Peschl (ASTM D 6682), and Hosokawa powder testing (ASTM D 6393) as a floodability and flowability test method. We perform our powder analysis in the Netherlands in our state-of-art laboratories, but can do bulk solids characterization for clients from all over the world.
Measurement of powder flowability and other bulk powder properties by Delft Solids Solutions
Delft Solids Solutions is your reliable contract partner for the analysis of bulk solids, including the determination of powder properties such as powder flowability and floodability, dustiness and crushing strength. Bulk powder testing on flowability is based on the characterization of bulk solids by seven mechanical measurements supported by another three powder analysis methods. Comparison to the standardized analysis results of approximately 3000 different bulk materials by R.L. Carr gives accurate information about the flowability of the powder.
As your trusted powder analyzer, Delft Solids Solutions can also do dust and segregation testing, for instance. Abrasion during handling, production and transport can cause dust and segregation, which may seriously affect bulk powder properties and thus the quality of your materials. Insight into powder flowability, dustiness, segregation and other characteristics of your bulk solids can help you to improve your processes. An expert in powder testing, Delft Solids Solutions is happy to provide this insight to you.

The plumbing in a single-family residential home is relatively straightforward, as the system supplies one household. However, the plumbing network becomes slightly more complex with an apartment building. Issues with one dwelling can spiral and cause problems with others, as many apartment buildings share a common line.
This article explains how an apartment building’s plumbing system works, so continue reading to learn more!
Types Of Apartment Buildings
In the plumbing world, apartment buildings belong in one of two categories: multiple dwelling or multiple story. Each system works differently based on the characteristics of the building, as certain features restrict the plumbing system.
Multiple Dwelling Systems
A multiple-dwelling apartment building isn’t tall enough to be considered a multi-story dwelling, so it’s classified as a multiple dwelling. These systems may include duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes, which feature several homes in one system. The houses may be stacked atop each other, but they might also sit side-by-side and share a wall.
For the most part, multiple-dwelling plumbing systems mirror the system layout found in a single-family residential home. The only difference lies in the extra pipes branching into each unit to supply water.
Besides the extra pipes, the system’s fundamentals are nearly identical. The water enters each unit via a supply pipe pulling from the municipal supply, then works its way through the home through various pipes, faucets, and valves to areas of demand.
These systems often feature hot and cold supply lines at key points throughout the home, including kitchens and bathrooms. In addition, these plumbing systems usually feature existing water hookups for essential appliances, like washers, dishwashers, and disposers.
These systems usually feature a drain-waste-vent (DWV) system, which escorts wastewater from each unit. These systems have various vents that allow air to enter the pipes, ensuring pressure within the system remains in range. The vents enable wastewater to flow freely through the system, preventing the formation of a vacuum that would halt the progress of sewage out of the residence.
The towering apartment buildings, packed with dozens of units, often found in bustling cities, are considered multi-story systems. Given the height of these buildings, a typical plumbing system standard in a single-family residential house wouldn’t work. So, to ensure tenants in each unit have an adequate water supply, the system must address a few critical issues.
Pressure issues are one of the most difficult challenges facing multi-story apartment buildings. Gravity isn’t working in favor of the system, especially for tenants residing on the upper floors of the building. So, to address this issue, many buildings use one of three designs.
Some buildings incorporate gravity-based roof tanks, which bring the natural force of gravity in favor of the system. Pumps pull water from storage tanks on the ground floor or basement. Once the water reaches the roof tank, gravity aids in moving it down through the building to each unit.
On the other hand, some buildings feature an array of booster pumps. These pumps incorporate the pressure necessary to move the water from the storage tanks or municipal water supply to units throughout the building. They add to the system’s existing pressure, ensuring it remains high enough to escort water to every unit of the building.
Lastly, some buildings incorporate hydro-pneumatic storage tanks. These tanks store water from the municipal water supply or storage tanks in the building. Once the water is in the hydro-pneumatic storage tank, air pressure aids in moving the water to the areas of demand.
Another issue that plagues multi-story apartment buildings is drainage. The system needs adequate drainage to avoid widespread plumbing issues, so these buildings can feature multiple kinds of drainage systems, including branch lines, vertical stacks, and horizontal underground lines.
The vertical stacks extend from the ground floor or basement of the building to the roof and include drainage stacks, soil stacks, and waste stacks. The vent or drainage stacks ensure plenty of air in the system to allow proper airflow, while the soil stacks escort water from various fixtures like urinals and toilets. The wastewater stacks move greywater from “clean water fixtures,” including showers and sinks.
The branch lines in the system create a connection point between each vertical stack and the units throughout the building. This ensures wastewater from each unit has somewhere to go, as they transport the water to the correct stack for disposal.
After moving through the branch lines, wastewater ends up in the horizontal lines. These lines extend beneath the building and employ the force of gravity to escort wastewater from the apartment building to the municipal waste system.
The size of the building determines the type of system design, as larger buildings usually feature two-pipe systems, while their smaller comrades typically have one-pipe systems. In a single-pipe system, wastewater and solid wastes are moved out of the apartment through one pipe. With a two-pipe system, liquids move through one pipe | [

Centurion Law Group played a key role in the Africa Oil & Power 2017 conference held in Cape Town last week, with CEO NJ Ayuk speaking on the conference’s Policy and Law panel and Energy Practice Leader Adaku Ufere moderating the Frontier Exploration panel.
The Policy and Law panel addressed issues like how legislation and regulation can move projects from discovery to development or hinder those projects; overhauling oil and gas regulations; and the essential components needed for an effective oil and gas contract.
Ufere’s panel addressed questions like why Africa is still an under-explored region, despite recent massive discoveries throughout the continent, and how independent oil and gas operators can effectively operate in the current oil price environment.
Ayuk also launched his first book, Big Barrels: African Oil and Gas and the Quest for Prosperity, with co-author João Marques.
Africa’s elite energy event, Africa Oil & Power attracted 400 delegates and 70 speakers from June 5-7 in Cape Town. The 12 panel sessions, which included topics on upstream, power, policy and finance, addressed the “lower for longer” oil price environment and also examined the “catalysts for change” that will ignite a recovery in the African oil and gas market. | [

As one gazes upon the vast universe it would be normal to ask, “Where did it all come from?” It is enormous and visually spectacular. While scholars continue to debate its origin, what has become increasingly evident is that it is very finely tuned and balanced beyond human explanations.
For example, one might conclude that the planets are unrelated bodies, randomly scattered across the solar system. But move any piece of the solar system, or try to add anything more, and the whole construction would be thrown fatally out of kilter. We have learned that the solar system is in a delicate balance, created with a precise architecture.[i]
Consider, for example, the discovery of a French astrophysicist: He observed that the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn impacts the earth’s orbit in an essential way. They produce the stability in the earth’s orbit necessary to prevent extreme changes, such as instability in our climate that would make the earth uninhabitable.[ii] Who would have thought such distant planets would have any impact on our lives?
Or consider the expansion of the universe. A universe with too much matter-and-energy for its expansion rate will quickly recollapse on itself. A universe with too little will expand into oblivion before it’s possible to even form atoms. Yet not only has our universe not collapsed or failed to yield atoms, but to this day, those two sides of the equation remain perfectly in balance. The probability of the universe achieving such balance by chance is similar to picking the same 1-to-1,000,000 number as me three times in a row, and then predicting the outcome of 16 consecutive coin-flips immediately afterwards.[iii]
Realizing the improbability of our universe even existing, scientists have contemplated the possibility of multiple universes, necessary to increase the probability of a universe such as ours. Of course, other universes cannot be assessed through the scientific method, as they would be unobservable. In the end we must at least conclude that the explanation involves something or someone beyond our observation or understanding.
From what we now know about the universe, it is extremely improbable, nearly impossible, it came about by chance. It is highly probably it has a cause or creator beyond itself, and, possibly, whose attributes are reflected in His creation. Suddenly the questions, “Is there a God?” and, “If there is a God, what are His expectations of me as a part of His creation?” become much more relevant.
Rock Solid Teen Center strives to make a positive difference in the lives of our young people. We believe we were created by God, and, small though we may be (Psalm 8:104), building a relationship with Him remains an essential part of building foundations that will last a lifetime.

A Municipality school in West Delhi has a garbage dumping site as its neighbour for the last nine years. The condition has deteriorated so much that students fall ill frequently, and have to wear masks to see the day through
While on the one hand Delhi government and Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) keep boasting of a number of schemes launched for the welfare of primary schools, students at a West Delhi school are literally fighting for breath. Unable to move the authorities to do something about the menace of a garbage dump right outside the school, students and teachers have now taken to wearing masks in classroom.
Living hand to nose: Students outside the school in Uttam Nagar,
New Delhi. PIC/Rajeev Tyagi
Uttam Nagar East MCD primary school, where at least 500 students study at any given point of time, shares its boundary wall near the main gate with a huge garbage dump. School authorities claim the dump site was constructed nearly nine years ago and waste of about 8-9 wards in the zone is deposited there on a daily basis.
Efforts in vain
School authorities say their complaints in this regard, official and unofficial, have fallen on deaf ears and for the last one week, the dump has not even been cleaned. As a result, children fall ill frequently and numerous complaints of nausea have become an almost daily phenomenon.
Principal Pragi Lal, though aware of the situation, expressed his helplessness over the issue. Lal, who started his tenure in 2009, said all his attempts since then to get the mess cleared up have gone in vain. He said MCD commissioner K S Mehra finally visited the area on 17 September and got the dump cleaned once. Now, the situation has returned to the usual and it might be years again before another official visits the school.
"Since the day I joined here as principal, clearing this garbage dump has been on my agenda. I have written countless applications, requesting the Corporation to free the school site of this eye sore. I made numerous complaints to the area councillor as well, but nothing has worked out as yet," said Lal.
Regarding the woes of students, he said, "Class I and II students, who have to sit in rooms at the ground floor, are the worst sufferers. Every now and then, parents come to me complaining about the fact that their wards have been suffering from fever and nausea."
Mother of Class I student Zarina, said, "This waste disposal right up to the gate has been a cause of serious concern. One day, my six-year-old daughter fainted during the morning prayers, as the assembly space begins right after the school gate, and the stink there is unbearable. This must be removed soon. The little children are being put to danger."
Apart from the school authorities, shopkeepers and other residents in the area are fed up with the sight itself. Vipin Jindal, who runs an electrical store that faces the garbage site, has filed a petition in the High Court.
Weary of the problem, he posted about the issue on Facebook as well. "I have filed a petition in the court to clear the road of the garbage flowing out of the site. The authorities have cleared it several times. But the relief is short-lived as the very next day, garbage is again on the road," said Jindal.
As usual, passing the buck to each other, none of the authorities were ready to take the responsibility for the nuisance. Uttam Nagar (west zone) councillor Ishwar Singh Chikara said, "I have already given in writing to the MCD to shift the dumping site to another location. I will try to get it removed as soon as possible."
Deputy Director Education (west zone) O P Adhvansi said, "I have received the school's complaint and forwarded it to the department concerned. At the moment, I cannot say when the site can be cleared."
School Inspector Babu Lal Meena said, "This has been a long-standing problem. I have forwarded the matter to the civic body. I don't know when they will take any action."
Yogender Chandolia, chairman, Standing Committee, MCD, said, "This is a serious issue that concerns the
health of the children. I will issue orders to the DC to get the garbage site cleared at once."
MCD on Facebook
With an aim to ensure cleanliness in the national Capital, the MCD had come forward with a Facebook page in April 2011, where anyone could post his/her complaints regarding garbage problems in their area. And for this, one does not have to compulsorily log on to the social networking site. People can simply dial 011-46485270 and tell their grievances regarding cleanliness problems. The complaints will automatically get uploaded on the Facebook page and the complainant will receive a reference number through SMS regarding the same.

Our vision as a movement is:
'Growing healthy Churches in relationship for God's mission'
Following the discussion at Baptist Union Council in November 2018, a set of six priorities emerged. These were outlined in the Council report
Given the urgent need to pursue God’s mission in our UK context, we believe that we need to focus on our value: 'Embrace adventure: Being serious about discipleship, willing to take risks, pioneer and move out of the comfort zone of familiar ways of doing things (Matt. 28:18-20)' Council particularly wanted to embody this value in the context of mission, evangelism and discipleship.
Working through the remaining recommendations of the Ignite report
Developing leadership in all its forms, together with a focus on equipping the whole body of Christ
Children Young People and Families – our CYF Round Table brought some concrete proposals to Council in their presentation and these were affirmed.
A similar but separate focus on Emerging Adults aged 18-35 – a group who are largely missing from our churches
Digital revolution – not only our own digital capacity, but reflecting on the implications of the digital revolution on mission, ministry and society.
When put to a vote, they were carried unanimously. The Core Leadership Team
is now exploring how to unpack and implement these priorities. | [

HOOVER, Ala. -- Nick Saban's idea for a combine workout for underclassmen is gathering support, and the NFL is listening.
"I think the NFL is very much interested in this," Saban said at SEC Media Days on Wednesday. "We have a meeting scheduled in the near future to discuss some ways to implement this."
Saban wants a combine workout for underclassmen to help the NFL provide a more accurate scouting evaluation of where they might be selected in the NFL draft if they choose to leave college early. In turn, he hopes to squelch some of the bad advice underclassmen receive about whether to make an early jump to the pro ranks.
"There is a cross-section of people out there who maybe aren't giving young men responsible information about making this decision, which is indicative of 107 guys going out for the draft last year. Probably at least half of those guys probably shouldn't have made that decision relative to whether they didn't get picked, or where they got picked," Saban said. "They'd have been better off enhancing their draft status by staying in school and developing as a player. There is a group of people out there not being responsible on how they help these guys, and create unrealistic expectations of what their future might be as a football player based on where they are in their development."
The NFL Draft Advisory Board provides underclassmen with feedback on their draft status. Players apply for feedback in December and typically receive it in January, prior to the NFL's deadline to apply for early draft entry. In an effort to reduce the number of underclassmen who enter the draft early, the NFL changed its policies on feedback two years ago. Influences beyond that feedback -- be it sports agents, relatives, friends or others -- are at the heart of Saban's concern.
Saban first mentioned the idea at the annual SEC spring meetings in Destin, Fla., earlier this year, suggesting that the spring might be the best time for the event.
"Then when we ask (the NFL) in December, if they're interested in going out for the draft, we can get a more specific draft grade, because there have been too many missed calls relative to where guys get picked," Saban said. "I think that enhances (opportunity for) the irresponsible people to be able to influence guys, (who can say) 'Hey, even though you got a go-back-to-school grade, there were six guys last year that got that grade and got drafted in the first round.' You would eliminate that when you have more specific information so people can make a better choice about their future."
"I think people are listening. I think there was a lot of support among our conference coaches when we discussed it at the spring meetings in Destin," Saban said. | [

Each of the above methods is good for its own reason; however, we would suggest only one: the blood test. The urine strips are cheap, yet not accurate. The breath analyzer is expensive, difficult to find and has definite quirks. The blood tests, while somewhat expensive, are fully reliable and testing your blood - the most accurate place to measure your ketones.
Clinical improvement was observed in Alzheimer’s patients fed a ketogenic diet, and this was marked by improved mitochondrial function. (14a) In fact, a European Journal of Clinical Nutrition study pointed to emerging data that suggested the therapeutic use of ketogenic diets for multiple neurological disorders beyond epilepsy and Alzheimer’s, including headaches, neurotrauma, Parkinson’s disease, sleep disorders, brain cancer, autism and multiple sclerosis. (14b)
It comes down to simple mathematics. In order to stay in ketosis, you need to eat a very very low number of carbs. And if you eat too much protein, this can actually knock you out of ketosis as well. Therefore, if you’re eating almost no carbs, and you are eating moderate amounts of protein, the ONLY remaining macronutrient you can consume to fill you up each day would be fat. Add in that consuming fat allows you to stay in ketosis, and you are consuming a high fat, medium protein, low carb diet.
After increasing water intake and replacing electrolytes, it should relieve most all symptoms of Keto Flu. For an average person that is starting a ketogenic diet, eating 20-30g of net carbs a day, the entire adaptation process will take about 4-5 days. My advice is to cut your carbs to fewer than 15g to ensure that you are well on your way into ketosis within one week. If you are experiencing any more keto flu symptoms, double check your electrolyte intake and adjust.
The book contains a two week menu for beginners. (Face it, there's a 90% chance you won't follow it to the letter, but it does help set your thinking in the right direction.) For each individual week there's a shopping list which, by itself, will help you adjust your kitchen quite a bit. There are tips on the best sweeteners (Swerve over Splenda), the oils you'll need, produce, canned and bottled items, pantry items, and meats. Something to consider as you go along is that some items, like almond and coconut flour are expensive items to stock up on, but you'll use considerably less than non-keto recipes will use for regular flour. Do what you can afford. Just know that there are some must-have staples like coconut oil and olive oil.
Our bodies are incredibly adaptive to what you put into it – when you overload it with fats and take away carbohydrates, it will begin to burn ketones as the primary energy source. Optimal ketone levels offer many health, weight loss, physical and mental performance benefits.1There are scientifically-backed studies that show the advantage of a low-carb, ketogenic diet over a low-fat diet. One meta-analysis of low-carbohydrate diets showed a large advantage in weight loss. The New England Journal of Medicine study resulted in almost double the weight loss in a long-term study on ketone inducing diets.
Reduced hunger. Many people experience a marked reduction in hunger on a keto diet. This may be caused by an increased ability of the body to be fueled by its fat stores. Many people feel great when they eat just once or twice a day, automatically ending up doing a form of intermittent fasting. This saves both time and money, while also speeding up weight loss.
Other experts say the long-term accumulation of ketones could be harmful. “Those ketones are emergency fuel sources, and we’re not meant to run on them long-term,” says Kristen Kizer, a registered dietitian at Houston Methodist Hospital. “Ketones are negatively-charged molecules, which means they’re acidic. When you build up ketone bodies in your system, you’re building up acid. One of the ways your body buffers acid is by pulling calcium from your bones.” Kizer also notes that the diet isn't very balanced and involves a very high intake of animal products, which generally do not protect against cancer, diabetes, or other diseases.
• Cancer: Early experimental research suggests that the keto diet may have anti-tumor effects, likely because it reduces overall calorie intake (and circulating glucose) for tumor growth. In one 2014 review of animal research, a ketogenic diet was found to be successful at reducing tumor growth, colon cancer, gastric cancer and brain cancer. More research on humans with larger sample sizes is needed, but it's definitely food for thought.

Is a collaboration between Austrian alto saxophonist Karolina Strassmayer (member of the Grammy award-winning WDR Big Band Köln, voted among the Top Five alto saxophonists by Downbeat Magazine two years in a row, performed with Joe Zawinul, McCoy Tyner, Joe Lovano, Maria Schneider, and Maceo Parker) and New York drummer-extraordinaire Drori Mondlak (worked with many jazz luminaries such as Lee Konitz, Frank Foster, Chris Potter, and Barbara Dennerlein). After having played in each other’s bands for many years, these two very distinct musical personalities have merged their musical vision into one.
KLARO! has received heartfelt responses from fans and promoters as well as critical acclaim from the press for their performances at festivals such as the Newport Jazz Festival, Jazzfest Vienna, Salzburger Jazzherbst, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Düsseldorf Jazz Rally, Saarbrücker Jazzfestival and many more. World renowned musicians, vibraphonists David Friedman or Stefan Bauer or pianist Rainer Böhm and bassists John Goldsby or Ingmar Heller(members of the WDR and NDR Big Bands) complete the quartet.
Here you will find the most reviews about Klaro! Jazz Quartet this slider will be updated from time to time.
"Strassmayer has absorbed, internalized and personalized what John Coltrane gave to jazz and often evokes him purely on the power of her tone and inflection."
- Doug Ramsey
“Altoist Karolina Strassmayer and drummer Drori Mondlak’s second release as co-leaders Small Moments is a collection of lean and gripping original compositions that the superlative quartet embellishes with their sophisticated and inventive spontaneity…Prior to them joining forces both Strassmayer and Mondlak were well known as creative and intelligent improvisers and instrumentalists in their own right. Together they have refined their art to achieve a bold elegance that is both delightful and provocative, eschewing both abstruseness and platitude.” – Hrayr Attarian
The album displays not only the promises of its title, but also a wonderful sense of cohesion among its participants.
– Ross Boissoneau
“Mit ihrem wunderbar warmen, flexiblen Timbre und ihrem ausgesucht melodischen, reich kolorierten und findig-quirligen Spiel zählt die zierliche Altsaxophonistin zweifellos zur Weltspitze.”
“One of the most elegant and satisfying small-group ensembles of recent years.”
- Drum!, Phil Hood
“Schon mit dem Opener zeigte die passionierte Bergsteigerin Strassmayer, warum sie zu Recht auf dem Gipfel der Altsaxophonisten steht. Längst war da schon der Funke auf das Publikum übergesprungen.”

I am so honored to know this group of wise and beautiful beings from all over the world. We have meditated together for many years now, since many of them were very small children, and I have watched them grow up in an environment where peace, compassion and wisdom were emphasized and valued. They have blossomed into amazing human beings with understanding beyond their years, as is seen in the words of the video:
“Them thoughts keep telling me, ‘you’re never good enough’.
We know that shit ain’t real; a thought is just a thought.
We all got wisdom, wisdom; we can simply BE
Mind is perfect when we leave it naturally.”
This short music video is the offering and fruition of the time this group of teenagers spent together this summer in the south of France. Many of them continue to come together every year for a summer program where, amidst other usual camp-like activities, they also continue to come to know themselves more deeply by exploring their own minds and hearts through meditation and its aspects of mindfulness and awareness.
The title, “All About the Breath”, inspired by Meghan Trainor’s original “All About the Bass”, refers to mindfully resting the mind on the breath in meditation.
The video content was entirely generated by this group of teens who worked as a team to fully bring an idea into being using their creativity and diverse talents—singing, choreography, dance, film making, gymnastics, magic, body art, football and more! In it, their true teamwork, genuine joy and friendship shine through. They would like for this message to touch as many people as possible. So, please share far and wide!
Cast & Crew: Albane, Alice, Alma, Amalée, Claire (x2), David, Délia, Dorjé, Eliza (x2), Emma, Eva, Freddy, Jade, Jasmine, Juno, Juri, Kenyatta, Leander, Lena, Liam, Lucas, Marie, Mona, Orgyen, Ronja, Svenia, Tinghan, Victor, Viola, and Yann.
For more information about similar programmes for children and teens, contact David Rycroft at Mind with Heart.
With thanks to Meghan Trainor for her song “All About That Bass”. Instrumental music bought from Karaoke Version.

5 Ways to Make Better Measurements with an Infrared Thermometer
Infrared thermometers are handy at times of pandemic. These ingenious devices can detect temperature quickly without needing contact with the skin.
Infrared thermometers have many uses. They don't just read the human body temperature. They're also used in the kitchens, manufacturing floors, and so on. Infrared thermometers can be useful, especially if they get accurate readings. However, there are rare times when infrared thermometers don't take accurate readings. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid wrong readings.
Below are the five ways you can do to get your Infrared thermometer read better.
1) Make sure to measure within your Infrared thermometer's "distance-to-spot" (D:S) ratio
Every infrared thermometer has its own "distance-to-spot" ratio. The "distance-to-spot" ratio is the allowed diameter of the area for reading. If you veer from the device's "distance-to-spot" ratio, you will not be getting an accurate result because your device will pick up other heat signatures.
To avoid this mistake, check your device's "distance-to-spot" ratio and the maximum distance between the person's forehead and your infrared thermometer.
2) Keep the laser pointed in the center of a person's forehead
Some infrared thermometers have laser pointers. The laser shows the approximate center of the measurement area.
The laser is only a pointer that lets you know the center to which your infrared sensor is pointed at. Lasers don't read temperatures. Also, infrared thermometers don't just read the spot where the laser is on; rather, it reads a wider area.
To help your infrared thermometer get an accurate reading, point the device's laser to the center of the person's forehead.
3) Paste an electrical tape on a shiny object's surface you're trying to temp read
Infrared thermometers are often good in reading temperatures because they're designed to do so. However, infrared thermometers find it particularly difficult to read shiny, reflective, or illuminating objects.
You can combat this problem by pasting an electrical tape on the surface of a shiny object you're trying to get a temperature on.
4) Clean your infrared thermometer's optics
The clearness and cleanliness of your infrared thermometer's optics matter when it comes to temperature-reading accuracy. For example, if there is a thick fog or accumulation of aerial dust between your target and your infrared thermometer device, some of the infrared energy will sway or deflect.
Another example is, a dirty or scratched optic (or lens) can lessen the temperature reading accuracy of the device because it won't properly sense IR energy.
That's why it's important to keep your infrared thermometer free from dust and scratches. Use a cloth to wipe your device's optics gently.
5) Let your infrared thermometer hover for awhile
For the highest accuracy, don't put down your device quickly. Let your infrared thermometer hover for a while to get the best possible temperature reading accuracy.
Look for the device's instructional pamphlet on when to put down the device and follow them.
The infrared thermometer needs time to adjust to reading your subject's temperature properly. Remember, your surroundings also have a temperature that can affect your infrared thermometer’s reading. | [

Susan of PatchworknPlay starts off our new year of our Gridsters Bee with having us make her some New York Beauty blocks.
She sent us to a webpage (Ulas Quiltseite–it’s German) that had ten different New York Beauty blocks on it, and we could pick two different ones (if we were making two).
There was even a block for beginners. I chose Block #1 and Block #6.
Helpful tip: These words mean that she split them to get them printed. You may want to join the outer pieces together so there is no seam. You’ll see what I mean.
I always remember Leann’s tips for sewing curved edges together (her quick video *here*): it’s best to put the concave piece on top, and the convex piece on the bottom. But since I had a curved shape with gazillions of pieces, I reversed it. Don’t know if that made it harder or easier.
The second block had another challenge. If you go and look at it, you can see I was using striped material, and I didn’t want that stripe to tilt. First piece on (above), and I don’t glue my foundation paper piecing, I pin.
I marked the center of the lower edge of the piece (opposite its point). I folded my fabric scrap in half lengthwise and line it up with both centers.
Keeping it in place, I fold back one side, mimicking the slanted edge that needs to be sewn. I finger-press it.
Then using all my skills, I move this carefully to the other side of the unit, holding it up to the light to line up that folded edge where it needs to go. Sometimes it’s easiest to note where the edges are and adjust from there.
Unfold it, being careful not to move it.
Stitch on that line, trim seam allowances and continue on. They all line up nice and vertical.
We make each other signature blocks, using a white 3 1/2″ square and snowball on two 2-1/2″ squares on either corner, using fabric from the blocks we made. (Click on the link to see a how-to, as well as how we’ve used our signature blocks: sometimes on the back and sometimes on the front of the quilt!)
The key to success: IRON ON A SCRAP OF FREEZER PAPER to the back before writing, as it stabilizes the fabric. I use a Pigma 08 to write.
We always write our name, but other things to write could be:
- IG/blog name
- name of the bee or why you made the quilt
Looking forward to the rest of year with my Gridster Beemates!

Thank you Elizabeth for taking such care in constructing my NYBeauty blocks! I love them! I love seeing all the patterns that are being made and look forward to making more of my own! It was also fun to look back at those siggie blocks and how they can be used in our quilts!
Looks like a fun bee and I love a New York Beauty!! Thanks a ton for that tip on labeling – have always struggled writing on fabric and it never occurred to me to just stabilize it with freezer paper – big duh here!!!
Love the fabrics and the variety. The result should be beautiful. One tip I’ve found useful for getting the stripes oriented so they point straight out is to precut the end shape (i.e. the triangle), slightly oversize. Then you can align the seam allowances in the usual manner. I also use Judy Mathieson’s method of folding back on the seam line ‘to be sewn’. The space to be covered lies under the new piece you are trying to align and with a little light behind, you can see the lines and see that you are centered properly. Thanks.
Those are beautiful blocks. I am excited to see her blocks all together. Your stripes turned out perfectly. I’m so glad that you were able to translate that German. It make more sense now. Thanks for all of the links.
I’ve always loved New York Beauty blocks. Right up your alley as they remind me of your circles EPP quilt too.
Your blocks are lovely, I’m glad she loves them also. I’ve always wanted to make some and just might have to try some of the ones you shared. Thanks!
Beautiful, as always. Enjoy them, Susan.
Happy to see you’re enjoying another bee this year. Good for you! Susan picked a good FPP design, and I like what you’ve done, as I’m sure Susan does too. | [

In contemporary bluegrass, Tim O’Brien’s name will surface often. He is the co-founder and lead vocalist of “Hot Rize” and “Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers”. O’Brien was a link between the traditional hill sound, and the modern style of bluegrass. After the break-up of the band, O’Brien continued to pull the two styles together as a soloist, a duo partner with his sister Mollie, and with his own band, the “O’Boys”. Some of O’Brien’s lyrics have been recorded by Kathy Mattea, and New Grass Revival.
O’Brien has early memories of Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller. This was the type of music favored by his parents. He began listening to a weekly country music radio show. “The Saturday Night Jamboree.” When he discovered that the radio show was broadcast from a local theater, he became a frequent audience member. He saw performances by Jerry Lee Lewis, Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, and Roger Miller.
O’Brien was only twelve years old, when he got his first guitar. He learned to play it almost immediately. He played with high school rock bands, but his main love was in country music and bluegrass. A man by the name of Roger Bland taught O’Brien to play the guitar in the three-finger style of Earl Scruggs. O’Brien earlier learned that his father had played mandolin banjo in college, loving the sound, he began to play mandolin.
After only one year of college, O’Brien headed to Wyoming and then on to Colorado. It was in Colorado that he hooked up temporarily with a jug band called “Ophelia’s String Band.” He met Pete Wernick and Charles Sawtell, and they joined O’Brien to form a bluegrass band called “Drifting Ramblers.” Another member, Nick Forster, joined the group later. The band drifted apart, and O’Brien and Wernick went on to record solo.
It was during this time he created the band called “Hot Rize”. The band stayed together for twelve years. Although their initial sound was that of very traditional bluegrass, this band continued to evolve into a more progressive sound. A popular highlight of their performances came when the four musicians left the stage and changed their clothes. They then re-entered as the Western honky tonk group “Red Knuckles & the Trailblazers”. This group recorded several albums on their own.
Those following the bluegrass side of the country music industry will long remember the name Tim O’Brien. This Wheeling, West Virginia musician is a Grammy Award winner in country music and bluegrass music. He is also an outstanding musician, with the profound ability to play the guitar, fiddle, mandolin, bouzouki, and mandocello. He has released more than ten studio albums, as well as a duet with Kathy Mattea entitled “The Battle Hymn of Love”.
He won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album for “Fiddler’s Green” In 1993, and 2006, he was honored with the “International Bluegrass Music Association’s” Male Vocalist of the Year Award. His band “Hot Rize” was the IBMA’s first Entertainer of the Year in 1990. | [

Winter flounder or "blackbacks" live 15 to 18 years and grow up to over 2 feet in length. They spawn during the winter and spring in shallow inshore waters, often returning to the same areas where they were born to spawn. Females usually produce between 500,000 and 1.5 million eggs. They deposit their eggs on sandy bottoms and algal mats at night, usually about 40 times every spawning season. Newly hatched larvae have one eye on each side of the head. Five to six weeks after they hatch, larvae settle to the bottom to begin their transformation into juveniles. After weeks of adapting to living on the bottom, their left eye migrates to the right side of their body and their metamorphosis is complete. The growth and survival rates of larvae and juveniles depend on several factors, including temperature, salinity, water quality, and the availability of food. | [
