Advanced cardiac imaging systems employ nuclear imaging techniques and other innovative technologies to enable high throughput and enhanced image resolution. One manufacturer designed a machine that can complete a Gated SPECT study in just two minutes, a significant improvement over older technologies that required 12-20 minutes. This breakthrough in speed and image quality is due to features such as:
- Larger radiation collection angles and a unique scan pattern provide photon collection that is X10 more efficient, leading to improved count statistics and higher quality images.
- Novel design of solid state scanning detectors and unique reconstruction algorithms that improve resolution by a factor of >2.
- Automation and personalization of image acquisition.
Read this case study to learn how:
- Small-sized servo drives allowed the customized design of PCB which was tailored to meet the specific needs of the customer.
- Low EMI emission of Elmo’s servo drives enabled the product to comply with strict standards of the medical industry.
- Advanced software of Platinum Maestro shortens time to market.
The company designed a new, sophisticated cardiac image scanning machine that included nine collimators placed on rotary axes that could scan the target angularly. A tenth axis moved the base of the nine collimators angularly to align them with the target body. All scanning motion was internal and invisible to the patient.
The company needed a compact motion solution with minimal wiring that would enable mechanical integration in the tight machine space. Furthermore, it needed to include a fast serial communication channel that could move and stabilize the heads at the next image capturing point in a window of just 40 msec from the time that the computer issued the command.
Due to the medical environment and EMI issues, the solution also had to be compliant with the relevant EMI standards.
Motion Control Solution
Elmo’s Gold Twitter digital drive was chosen for this application, due to its compact size and ability to integrate within the constraints of the machine’s interface. The Gold Twitter, like all Elmo drives, is compliant with medical EMI standards, eliminating the need for an external filter.
10 G-TWIs were chosen to move the collimators’ angular axes and the collimators’ base angular motion. Elmo’s Platinum Maestro controller was used to control the motion of all axes, communicating with the ten Gold Twitter drives via CANopen communication. The cardiac imaging system’s PC issues commands to the Maestro using TCP/IP communication. With Maestro, the scanner’s on-board processor no longer needs to handle the CANopen communication or the motion control processes.
Elmo can either design custom PCB interface boards or support its customer’s teams in designing their own boards. In this case, the Elmo team assisted the company’s team in designing the Gold Twitter’s interface board to match the machine’s mechanical constraints. The interface board was then tested and approved by Elmo’s engineers.
Elmo’s high-performance servo drives allowed the cardiac imaging system to meet the high demands of the motion profile. The distributed communication required minimal cabling, saving both space and costs. Elmo’s Platinum Maestro controller was integrated quickly with the machine motion, and together with its advanced software, shortened the time to market. Throughout the process, Elmo provided comprehensive support to the medical engineers who designed and built the cardiac imaging system.

CHAMPIAN FULLER WITH DAVID BERGER'S SULTANS OF SWING
* * * * *
The fresh voice of Champian Fuller backed by New York's David Berger's Sultans of Swing make for a great listen.
Fulton's talent places her in a category beyond the dozens of young females who think they can sing and issue a CD which usually dispels the notion.
Her program is a wonderful mix of obscure but solid tunes like "I Didn't Mean a Word I Said," and "He Ain't Got Rhythm" with standards including "This Is Always," "They Didn't Believe Me," and "The Gypsy." She turns up the heat with "Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens," complete with a Louis Jordan-like shuffle beat. Check her out!
"FUNKY PIECES OF SILVER: THE HORACE SILVER SONGBOOK"
* * * * *
Pianist Horace Silver's compositions were not only made famous by him and his various bands, but were recorded hits by many other major jazz players.
This five star Highnote release features nine cuts of Silver tunes performed by bands led by Charles Earland, Joey De Francesco, Papa John De Francesco, Houston Person and Joe Chambers.
Tenor saxophonist Person puts his patented blues stamp on Silver's "Juicy Lucy," a nice medium tempo treatment with sparkling solos by guitarist Paul Bollenback and the veteran pianist Stan Hope.
The late Hammond B-3 organist Charles Earland contributes four Silver landmarks; "Sister Sadie," "Blowing the Blues Away," "Strollin'" and "Quicksilver." They all feature saxophonist Eric Alexander and trumpeter James Rotondi.
Silver didn't ignore his Latin roots as he composed "The Outlaw" offered by drummer Joe Chambers and is definitely reflective of Silver's heritage. Pianist Mike Tsiganov delivers a brilliant solo. Organist Joey De Francesco along with guitarist Randy Johnson and drummer Billy Hart are hard to beat on "The Preacher."
"DIZZY GILLESPIE LIVE AT THE 1965 MONTEREY JAZZ FESTIVAL"
* * *
Dizzy Gillespie made 19 official appearances at the Monterey Jazz Festival, a record for a while, but likely broken by trumpeter Clark Terry who is living.
Gillespie expanded his usual quintet to a sextet by adding percussionist Big Black for the festival gig. The crew of tenor saxophonist James Moody, pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Christopher White and drummer Rudy Collins get off to a rousing start with "Trinidad Goodbye."
The ballad "Day After" follows with some very nice Barron piano cut short by Gillespie's second solo which I feel missed the mark. What is a Gillespie performance without "Night in Tunisia?" He brings the crowning tune in fine blowing fashion, in my opinion saving an otherwise nothing special effort.
"MUSIC MAESTRO PLEASE"
FREDDY COLE WITH THE BILL CHARLAP TRIO
* * * * *
Today's croon master Freddy Cole is at his finest on this new Highnote release.
He places himself in the hands of pianist Bill Charlap and his trio of bassist Peter Washington and drummer Kenny Washington, the finest piano trio working today.
Cole oozes sentiment with such love ballads as "I'll Never Be The Same," "My Ideal," "Once In a While," "There Are Such Things' and more. There is a superb and moving medley of "Don't Take Your Love From Me," and "I Never Had A Chance." Cole didn't forget the blues either. He gets down on "Music Maestro Please, the title tune.
Charlap's crew is perfect for this outing. The pianist fills behind Cole's dulcet tones are a perfect match.
Dick Bogle hosts a weekly jazz radio show 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mondays on FM 89.1 KMHD. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.org. | [

Yes, I'm still around!!! I know it's been over a month since I last posted! I just have not had time to work in my craft room much lately. Lots of other things going on around here and a new grandbaby to play with! But, here is a fun project I worked on last month. These are all dies by Papertrey Ink. I just cut everything out of felt and added a few stitches here and there. The card that they are attached to are also by Papertrey Ink. I stamped them with PI stamps and also SU stamps. It will probably be awhile before Aubree will get to wear these but my time seems to be so limited lately so I need to do things when I can! I have a houseful of company coming for most of May so I won't be around then either! Have a fun day!
I have been stamping for over 15 years and have become a stampaholic in the past few years. I also enjoy a variety of other hobbies, including cooking, scrapbooking, sewing, beading, and anything else that is craft related! My favorite room in the house is my craft room! I have my crafts in there, a tv, and a computer...what else could I ask for!

As a Christian, I am confused by the rhetoric out there that ties my beliefs to a certain stance on gun control. That is a lie. My Christianity should inform what I would do with a gun, but my Christianity doesn’t tell me that government shouldn’t put good laws into place because of the danger of unlawful gun owners. If anything, my Christianity tells me to be smart and stand up for the weak, the poor, the children sitting in classrooms waiting for their drills to become reality.
As a Christian, I must live out the calling of Kingdom work—peacemaking work—works of love and long suffering.
I truly believe that our country is great, but some lies must be weeded out—and one lie is that we don’t need laws around gun ownership. It makes little sense when we have laws around automobile use, alcohol consumption, and several other laws that are put in place in a free society for the good and safety of all.
I know good people who own guns legally and safely. And, I don’t expect anyone who is careful and lawful to have guns taken away. That’s not the point of common sense gun laws...even if politicians and the NRA would have you believe that.
My prayers are strong when I send my kids off to school or the store. Always have been...but always accompanied by an image of a shooter, if I am honest. And my prayers are hysterical at each shooting...when my greatest fear becomes someone else’s reality. But, I can’t just stop at prayer.
I also believe that action is often expected after such praying. It can’t just stop at Amen.
First, we must pray and know how to pray. And second, we must be the hands and feet...moving toward a cross that doesn’t conform to 18th century gun rights, but conforms to the will of a God who loves His children...actually the whole world...and entrusts His followers to protect, care, and make wise decisions to honor Him. | [

BART stands for Bay Area Rapid Transit and is one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s most popular forms of public transportation. There are six train lines spanning from different areas like a web. On weekdays, each train runs every 15 minutes, while on weekends, they run every 20 minutes. Before selecting your BART station, determine where you are trying to go and which station is closest to that destination using BART's planning tool. While BART offers easy access to downtown San Francisco including stations along Market Street and in the Mission District, if your ultimate destination is in other neighborhoods in San Francisco, you may need to transfer to Muni, take a taxi or opt for a transportation network company (Lyft, Uber, etc.).
BART is located directly across from Terminal 1 in the Oakland International Airport where luggage claim is. Take BART from OAK to Coliseum Station, then board a San Francisco/Daly City-bound train. BART stops at four downtown San Francisco stations that are an easy walk or short cab ride to most San Francisco hotels. BART shares these stations with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (Muni) which can also take you throughout the city. BART’s fares vary depending on distance traveled.
When you enter a BART station, you will find pay stations with price charts of costs associated getting to each station; fares will reflect your station of origin. You can also use the fare calculator to find how much fares are beforehand. Machines take bills up to $20 and as well as credit and debit cards. All BART services close at midnight and resume at 4 a.m. on weekdays, 6 a.m. on Saturdays and 8 a.m. on Sundays. Extended hours are sometimes offered for special events.
Be advised: beginning Feb. 11, 2019, construction work to improve the BART system may result in delays and service changes. Visit BART's website for more information.
Connecting transit options for some popular San Francisco destinations are noted below:
Embarcadero (First San Francisco Station) - Lower Financial District, Hyatt Regency San Francisco and taxis or Muni to Fisherman's Wharf hotels. Use the Drumm Street exit for the Hyatt Regency San Francisco.
Montgomery Street (Second San Francisco Station) - Financial District and Moscone Center North and South. Use the Market/Third Street exit for Moscone Center, W Hotel, Park Central, The Palace and Financial District and South of Market (SOMA)/Yerba Buena hotels.
Powell Street (Third San Francisco Station) - Use the Hallidie Plaza exit for the Intercontinental, Hilton properties, Nikko and Union Square hotels. Use the Fourth Street exit for the Marriott and Moscone West.
Civic Center/UN Plaza (Fourth San Francisco Station) - Exit for Upper Market, Van Ness, the Castro and Civic Center districts.
If BART does not stop near your desired area you can always take a Muni bus or metro (underground light rail vehicles).
Prices vary for the shuttle service, there are also multiple options and special prices for traveling groups. You can call or make your reservation online. | [

As a part of their ambitious plan to build an interconnected internet network with thousands of satellites which they call Constellation in the space business to deliver high speed internet connection to anyone on the planet, SpaceX, on March 4, launched an entirely new batch of 60 Starlink internet satellites into orbit.
What made this attempt special is that it came after a failed Falcon 9 rocket to land the booster on the drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean on Feb.15. That incident broke their own record of 25-booster recovery streak. The technical reason for that is because of what Benji Reed, senior director for human spaceflight programs at SpaceX, commented on:
“A little bit of hot gas got to where it’s not supposed to be, and it caused that engine to shut down,”
Despite all that, this mission was accomplished with not much trouble when the booster returned to earth to land for its 8th successful landing on SpaceX’s drone ship, “Of Course I Still Love You”, in the Atlantic Ocean.
During a live webcast of the launch, A Dragon propulsion engineer at SpaceX, Youmei Zhou, said:
“And we have confirmation of our successful stage one landing. This will mark our 75th successful recovery of an orbital class rocket and the eighth recovery of this particular booster.”
This latest mission is SpaceX’s 6th mission in 2021 and the 20th SpaceX Starlink mission launching over 1200 Starlink satellites into orbit, including some satellites that are no longer working. All of that is a part of the company’s plan to reach the number of 1440 satellites in space and interestingly, the company has sought approval for tens of thousands more.
This whole mission is a part of SpaceX’s money raising plan to develop and fund their mission of sending astronauts to Mars,
The comment came from Elon Musk, the famous centibillionaire and the chief designer of SpaceX saying:
“We see this as a way for SpaceX to generate revenue that can be used to develop more and more advanced rockets and spaceships,”
“We believe we can use the revenue from Starlink to fund Starship,” Musk added.
The Starship will be designed to be a fully reusable launch system that will be able to board over one hundred space travelers from and to the moon and mars.
So SpaceX is operating a huge project to have the majority of satellites orbiting around the earth in just two years. Musk has already confirmed that the company now has sufficient capital to get to an operational level, competing with Softbank-backed OneWeb, Amazon’s Project Kuiper, Canadian operator Telesat and more. These ambitious satellite networks will require intensive capital, with some industry officials estimating costs running as high as $5 billion. | [

A programmable electronic arc lamp ballast
The HiWatt UV arc lamp ballast is a dual-processor controlled, solid-state switching power supply. It consists of two power stages: a square wave AC output converter and igniter for powering a mercury vapor or halide arc lamp, and an auxiliary DC power supply for providing 24DC (6A) for user controls and cooling fans.
The HiWatt is designed to be factory or customer software configurable (via PC serial port) to allow the unit to adapt to a wide range of lamp types and utility power sources. This capability allows the unit to power one or two arc lamps in the range of 1kW–10kW, with lamp voltages of 200–850V, from single or three-phase AC sources of 208 / 240 / 480V 60Hz—200 / 230 / 380 / 415V 50Hz.
This programmability makes the HiWatt a truly universal arc lamp ballast that can be used as a single unit solution for powering many types of lamps from power sources worldwide.
The HiWatt electronic UV arc lamp ballast can communicate with customer-connected controllers or PCs via optically isolated digital logic signals, RS485 serial port or USB port. The logic signals include status lines for lamp ignited, lamp ready (warm-up-complete) and unit alarm, as well as control signals for lamp enable / disable and lamp dimming (via PWM control, pulse frequency or 0–10V).
A lamp cooling blower control is also provided with a blower on / off signal, air temperature / flow regulation and lamp temperature monitoring. The unit can optionally power 24V DC cooling fans and vary the fan speeds either open-loop or based on lamp temperature.
Units can also be networked to provide a customer interface to multiple HiWatt slave units from the serial ports. This feature allows interface with multiple lamp systems cascaded on a single high-speed product line. An optional touchscreen is available for monitor and control of up to eight units.

- Adopted an annual budget for the Village of Glenview for the fiscal year commencing January 1, 2020 and ending December 31, 2020.
- Gave final approval to the 2019 property tax levy ordinance, which calls for a 2019 extended levy for the Village of $12,664,702, representing a 0.88 percent, or $110,339, increase compared to the Village's 2018 final extended levy, attributable to an increase in the levy for Equalized Assessed Valuation of new construction and newly annexed property for the 2018 tax year. Additionally, the Glenview Public Library is proposing a 2019 levy of $8,386,743, which includes a 0.62 percent, or $51,857, increase in the 2019 debt service compared to the Library's 2018 final extended levy related to the 2016A refunding bond issue required to fund the new building. The ordinance will be on the December 3 Board agenda for final consideration.
- Gave final approval to 2019 Property Tax Abatement Ordinances totaling $7,590,573, of which about 94 percent is related to redevelopment of The Glen. After the effect of abatements and the loss provision added by Cook County, the 2019 Proposed Extended Levy for the Village would generate $21,051,445, 0.78 percent more than the 2018 final extended levy.

We Challenge Wireless
Wrist Strap Manufacturers!!!!!!
October 27, 2005
Send in yours for evaluation
if you dare!
Go ahead, Make our Day!
If we are Wrong, we will put
up an apology and a free advertisement for one year.
reports of another wireless wrist strap being sold brings up a question
from our readers: "Do they work?" The article listed below
was published a few years ago when our labs evaluated one style
of wireless wrist strap. We found no evidence that they do or ever
could significantly reduce the charges on a person. This new one
reports it works on the "Selglard" principle. To quote:
"It operates "Selglard' electric
halo principles, making body's static electricity to discharge through
Does anyone know what that is? A few prepositions in the statement
might help us understand.
Most wireless wrist straps try to use
passive ionization even if they do not recognize what they are stating.
The problem with passive ionization is that it is distance and potential
related. We have never seen a passive ionizer reduce a charged body
below 1000 Volts in the best of conditions. The new strap even states
that it is not for use in dry climates. We do not believe it is
for use in any climates.
At the ESD Journal, we have developed a new more
effective personnel neutralization system. It operates on the Fowler
Halo Principle. Price for this device starts at $15
depending on head size. Note the stylishness of the device. It comes
with an optional "pony tail" addition for higher efficiency
at an additonal price.
We will soon have our version of the wireless wrist
strap,which will sell for $5 and also comes with the high efficiency
"pony tail" addition.
The following is an artice we published
a few years ago. We stand by it now.
Evaluation of Wireless Wrist
by: ESD Journal Lab
We have been asked many times over
the past few years about the viability of wireless wrist straps.
The following is our evaluation of one wireless wrist strap.
We used a wireless wrist strap that
is advertised as:
"It operates using a combination
of several physics phenomena like "Ion Neutralization, Skin
Effect, Point Discharge and Corona Discharge Effect" combined
with the principle of differential potential to collect and dissipate
It is a combination of bio-industrial
and electronic technologies.
In effect, the wireless wrist
strap neutralizes over 80% of the static electricity on a human
body and maintains the potential of a human body below 150V which
is low enough to protect electronic components."
is a summary of our evaluation of the strap:
The wrist strap came with a conventional cord for
use at the workbench. However, it is claimed to neutralize the static
on a person without the cord attached "after 15 seconds."
Our tests showed that the wrist strap when
connected by it cord had a resistance from the wearer's hand
to ground of 1.3 MegOhms.
Our technician wore insulative shoes (> 10,000
MegOhms) and walked on an insulative floor.
We charged the technician to 2,000 volts.
When and he walked around with the uncorded
wrist strap on, we saw a decay of the static charge to about
1,000 Volts in 90 seconds.
When and he walked around without the wrist
strap, we saw a decay of the static charge to about 1,000 Volts
in 90 seconds.
There was no difference in the time to decay
to 1,000 with or without the wrist strap in place.
With the wrist strap on the walking technician,
his potential never went below 700 volts for over 3 minutes.
We dissected the wrist strap to see what inside would
account for the claimed neutralization. We found only a 1 MegOhm
resistor. This supports our findings that the wireless wrist strap
no method for neutralizing a person not connected to ground by a
It is our opinion that no currently available methods
or devices exist which will effectively ground a person without
a tethered cord to ground or at least a large capacitance.
Sorry! Something that sounds too
good to be true probably is. | [

Melville : A Novel by Jean Giono
Originally published to promote his French translation of Moby-Dick, Jean Giono's Melville: A Novel is an astonishing literary compound of fiction, biography, personal essay, and criticism.
In the fall of 1849, Herman Melville traveled to London to deliver his novel White-Jacket to his publisher. On his return to America, Melville would write Moby-Dick. Melville: A Novel imagines what happened in between: the adventurous writer fleeing London for the country, wrestling with an angel, falling in love with an Irish nationalist, and, finally, meeting the angel's challenge--to express man's fate by writing the novel that would become his masterpiece.
Eighty years after it appeared in English, Moby-Dick was translated into French for the first time by the Provençal novelist Jean Giono and his friend Lucien Jacques. The publisher persuaded Giono to write a preface, granting him unusual latitude. The result was this literary essay, Melville: A Novel--part biography, part philosophical rumination, part romance, part unfettered fantasy. Paul Eprile's expressive translation of this intimate homage brings the exchange full circle.
Paul Eprile was a co-winner of the French-American Foundation's 2018 Translation Prize for his translation of Melville. | [

To the High-Pressure Cleaning Truck Operators
1. On the water requirements
When high-pressure cleaning truck using rivers, ponds as water sources, note the end of all the suction pipe submerged. Stones or more to avoid inhalation of the sediment, floating debris, suction tube ends are generally equipped with filtration devices, water filtration devices are forbidden to be removed. If the water shallow, you need to advance some of the water at the deepened to ensure that does not contain debris and not into the air.
2. Add water
Before each suction centrifugal pump must be added to the water pump a certain amount of water, after adding additional outlets must be closed. Self-priming pump for the first time use, the need to add water and, thereafter, no need for water.
3. Inlet pipe will need to vacuum
When the inlet water systems must maintain a certain degree of vacuum to suction the water box. Into the plumbing system must be sealed and reliable, hoses can not be broken, the tube can not have cracks or air leaks will produce, will result in the case of no water absorption.
4. Stop hanging files
High-pressure water cleaning vehicles either in front or in the job before taking power devices linked files must be carried out in the parking.
5. Winter drainage
Before winter, should the water pump and vent pipes to prevent cracking. Winter in northern China is no longer the general construction, so the construction is completed, you immediately the water pump and drain pipes to prevent future trouble.
6. Regular sewage
Vehicle storage tanks with high pressure cleaning sewage pipes, the pipes for the water tank of the lowest import. After a period of use, should be regularly open the outfall switch, the accumulation of debris inside the tank removed, until the water clear up. | [

Having a job in many ways improves an individual’s health and overall attitude toward life. However, many people face significant stress in the workplace that outweighs any possible benefits and even poses a threat to their health.
The United States’ National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health defines job stress as the harmful physical and emotional responses that occur when the requirements of the job do not match the capabilities, resources, or needs of the worker. Job stress can, in turn, lead to poor health and even injury.
Take the sales profession, for instance, sales reps are so driven towards meeting their targets every month or quarter that it can weigh very heavily on their health. They might feel stress, anxiety, and depression when their deals don’t close even after following up for months together.
What is job stress?
Job stress is the harmful physical and emotional responses that occur when the requirements of the job do not match the capabilities, resources, or needs of the worker.
It can lead to a variety of health problems including obesity, chronic heart disease, cancer, musculoskeletal disorders, mental illness, respiratory disorders, and sleep problems.
As a result, if a sales professional is experiencing job stress, the negative consequences can be enormous:
- Increased work turnover
- Unhealthy eating habits, smoking, alcohol abuse
- Social isolation
- Less social activities
- Loss of productivity
- Acute health conditions, such as pneumonia, etc.
Why do people face job stress?
The more you know, the better prepared you’ll be to handle a stressful situation. So, it’s essential that you know what causes job stress, how to reduce it, and more importantly, how to stay in a job you love.
In this article, you will find answers to these questions and more.
What causes job stress?
According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, there are different sources of stress in a person’s life. Some of these include relationships, financial pressures, education, career, health, and learning.
Any of these activities in a person’s life can contribute to stress if they’re not dealt with correctly. A sales rep who is unable to convert buyers to subscribers in the shortest time is typically one to suffer from job stress.
The Health Risks of Job Stress
Job stress can trigger many physical illnesses that may lead to complications. About 43% of the top-selling executives worldwide who have workplace stress experienced:
1. Heart disease.
This common ailment can easily lead to heart attacks. But, even if you’re at a healthy weight, and otherwise healthy, the stress-related risks of heart disease are still high. You may even put yourself at risk for arrhythmia (irregular heartbeats) if you don’t exercise regularly or if you suffer from a stressful lifestyle.
2. Dental issues.
Nearly half of the managers and executives are suffering from dental problems. This is linked to stress as a constant struggle against deadlines and stressful situations can lead to suffering from bad breath.
Other health risks of job stress
According to a study published in the Journal of Health Psychology, job stress can raise blood pressure, which may negatively affect cardiovascular and metabolic health.
Work stress can also impair the concentration of the workforce, leading to errors in cognition, memory, processing speed, problem-solving, and more.
And this can be bad for a company’s productivity, especially as digital transformation is affecting the way businesses operate and bringing about the need to transform and renew their workforce.
What can you do about it?
Research suggests that some things can help reduce stress in the workplace – namely meditation and mindfulness practices, walking in nature, yoga and meditation, and other breathing techniques.
Mental health risks of job stress
The question of the right way to manage stress lies in how much we know about the health risks that arise when stress is managed in the wrong way.
In a nutshell, the potentially harmful effects of job stress are varied and include negative effects on the mental health
There are different types of stress reactions. Relaxation stress is a response that happens when you feel in danger. This kind of stress only happens when you don’t have a choice or when you are compelled to do something. You know that in the case of danger, you need to either escape the situation or do something about it.
The most common kinds of stress reactions are tension headaches, backaches, fatigue, stomach aches, irregular sleeping patterns, and mood swings.
Solutions to reduce side-effects of work-related stress
Taking frequent breaks from work can help you to get a break from the stressful environment. For instance, many CEOs encourage their teams to take vacations and bring their kids to visit. Also, you can play with your dog or cat to help clear your mind.
If you’re experiencing psychological distress or are suicidal, or you just want to escape from the negative effects of work stress, you should seek professional help. | [

Silicon carbide particles coated with a pigmented coating result in silicon carbide particles which can be used in slip resistant flooring to achieve the desired slip resistance whilst giving improved aesthetic properties. The pigmented coating can be an organic coating such as a two part epoxy system or a water based or solvent based epoxy. Alternatively the pigmented coating can be an inorganic coating such as a ceramic glaze. Also provided are methods of coating silicon carbide particles with either an organic or an inorganic pigmented coating. Further provided are safety flooring materials including silicon carbide particles having a pigmented coating.

12. Particles according to arty of claims 1-11, wherein particles are coated with a coupling agent beneath the pigmented coating to aid adhesion of the pigmented coating.
13. Particles according to any of claims 1-11 wherein the particles have a size range or from 0.2 to 0.8 mm.
The present invention relates to the production of coated silicon carbide particles, in particular to pigment coated silicon carbide particles.
Silicon carbide, also known as carborundum is a synthetic solid material comprising silicon and carbon. The hardness of silicon carbide is similar to that of diamond. Silicon carbide is produced electrolytically from graphite and silica under the influence of extreme heat and the product is then crushed to give a wide range of particle sizes.
Silicon carbide is a particulate material which has a smooth surface making it reflective and angular edges making it useful in products requiring slip resistant properties. Silicon carbide is only available in two colours which are black and dark green.
Silicon carbide is used in a variety of industries from grinding wheel manufacture to flooring.
Silicon carbide, is used to confer slip resistance and wear resistance to a variety of floors including vinyl safety floors. Its efficacy in achieving slip resistance has meant that its use is very wide spread in slip resistant flooring manufacture.
In flooring it is preferred to use the black version of the silicon carbide although it is less pure.
Being black, and used on the surface of a safety flooring, silicon carbide tends to darken the overall tone of the finished flooring. This is particularly an issue when high levels are used. In order to avoid the tone being darkened excessively, attempts have been made to use larger particles of silicon carbide, the idea being that, with larger particles, for a given mass per unit area, fewer particles can be used to achieve a particular slip resistance. However, with large black particles on a light background, the product appears very “functional” and is considered less aesthetically acceptable. Also if lost from the surface, large particles leave large surface voids.
Some users dislike the high reflectivity of the silicon carbide which is considered undesirable for certain applications.
It would therefore be advantageous to provide silicon carbide particles in colours other than black or dark green for use in slip resistant flooring to achieve the desired slip resistance while obtaining improved aesthetic properties.
Accordingly from a first aspect the present invention provides silicon carbide particles coated with a pigmented coating.
The coating may be a pigmented organic coating. Alternatively the coating may be a pigmented inorganic coating.
Where the pigment is a pigmented organic coating it is preferably a two part epoxy system where the two parts are mixed together to provide the pigmented organic coating.
Alternatively the pigmented organic coating may be a water based or solvent based epoxy or two part solvent based polyurethane or waterborne polyurethane or acrylic.
Where the coating is an inorganic coating it is preferably a ceramic glaze.
The silicon carbide particles may be coated with a coupling agent beneath the pigmented coating to aid adhesion of the pigmented coating.
The coating of the silicon carbide particles with a pigmented resin allows a range of colours to be obtained whilst still maintaining the angular edges of the particles which provide the required slip resistance when used in safety flooring.
The pigment can be any colour and the colour can be solid or metallic.
The silicon carbide particle size range is preferably from 0.2 to 0.8 mm.

Pyongyang confirmed today it successfully tested a hydrogen-bomb device. North Korea’s Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) earlier reported on a new miniaturized thermonuclear device developed by country’s Nuclear Weapons Institute. The shape of the instrument indicates the typical tandem design of a thermonuclear weapon, placed adjacent to an aerodynamic object likely to be the nose cone of Hwasong-14 ICBM, showing the new H-Bomb is sized to fit the country’s intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM).
KCNA statement added the device is designed for adjustable yield, from tens kiloton to hundreds kiloton. By adjusting its yield this ‘multi purpose’ nuclear device can be used against specific targets or set to explode high in the atmosphere, causing an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) that devastates electronic circuits and electrical power grids over a large area. Previous tests of North Korean thermonuclear devices developed yields up to 20-30 kilotons.
A thermonuclear weapon represents the second generation nuclear weapon design using a secondary fusion stage in addition to the primary fission device. This secondary device is triggered by the fission stage causing a fusion reaction. Placed near each other in a radiation-reflecting package designed to contain x-rays for as long as possible, the fission bomb and fusion fuel make a powerful combination resulting in greatly increased explosive power, when compared to single-stage fission weapons.
A few hours later a massive seismic event of a 6.3 magnitude was recorded which was ten times stronger than previous nuclear tests that recorded a seismic event of 5.1 magnitude. The Korean Meteorological Administration reported an event likely an artificially triggered earthquake of 5.7 magnitude at a depth of 10 kilometers. The tremor was felt in China and was clearly detected on seismic sensors in South Korea, Japan and reported by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) earthquake monitoring service. A second quake on a scale of 4.6 was detected around the site, which could have caused as underground structures caved in after the first explosion.
The test occurred just under a year after North Korea’s fifth nuclear test on September 9, 2016 which North Korea claimed was its first hydrogen bomb test, and less than a week after a launch by North Korea of the Hwasong-12 ballistic missile over Japan and into the Pacific Ocean.
Analysts have been uncertain about the ability of Pyongyang to mount a warhead on a ballistic missile and get that warhead to survive the tremendous heat generated on the missile’s re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere.
“Assuming Sunday’s test got what North Korean nuclear scientists set out to achieve, we can now expect a long-distance ICBM test in the short to medium term,” Chad O’Carroll, Managing Director the Korea Risk Group. “A successful full-distance range ICBM test into the Pacific Ocean would subsequently help North Korea show the U.S. that its long-range nuclear weapons capabilities are credible and ready for deployment,” O’Carroll noted.
North Korea has previously conducted nuclear tests in 2006, 2009, 2013, and two in 2016, with explosive yields of less than one kiloton, 2-4 kilotons, 6-9 kilotons, 7-10 kilotons, and 20-30 kilotons, respectively. Pyongyang claims it now masters the entire production process of nuclear devices, production of weapons-grade nuclear materials to the precision processing of components and their assembling, thus enabling the country an unlimited production of such weapons. This year North Korea also demonstrated the capability to build ICBMs able to carry such weapons over long distances. | [

You can build a basic one yourself. You can build an even better one with special equipment and adult assistance, which is beyond the scope of this book, but you can find sources in the resources section at the back of this book.

CBS/AP October 21, 2018, 5:15 PM Hurricane Willa becomes Category 3 storm off Pacific coast of Mexico
MEXICO CITY — A newly formed hurricane rapidly gained strength off Mexico's Pacific coast Sunday and has become a major Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said it could reach Category 4 status (sustained wind speed between 130-156 mph) before hitting land midweek. A hurricane watch was posted for a stretch of shore between San Blas and Mazatlan.
NHC said Willa was about 250 miles south-southwest of Cabo Corrientes and moving north-northwest at 6 mph and is expected to start curving toward the north later Sunday night and Monday. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 80 miles.
The storm could produce dangerous storm surge, while dumping 5 to 10 inches of rain across parts of western Jalisco, western Nayarit and southern Sinaloa states, with lesser amounts falling as it moves inland, according to NHC.
Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Vicente appeared to be a less potent threat farther south. Forecasters said it was likely to remain just offshore or near Mexico's southern Pacific coast through Monday night and perhaps edge ashore Tuesday.
The storm was located about 230 miles southeast of Acapulco, Mexico, and moving west at about 10 mph, according to NHC. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to 40 mph with higher gusts.
The NHC said it could produce 3 to 6 inches of rain near the coast.

Raul emailed me some photos taken in Reynosa, Mexico, which is directly across from the city of McAllen, Texas, after a gun battle with between police and Mexican military and a drug gang. I thought this photo of an AR-15/M16/M4 with a lot of accessories hanging off it was interesting. I have seen many photos of confiscated C-MAGS taken from drug gangs, but never a photo of one that was actually used in combat and the gun is was used with.
More info on the gun battle here.

Seems far-fetched, but jeez, you got any better ideas? Will Carroll of Bleacher Report was given an exclusive first look at something that could be revolutionary:
[Joe] Nolan and his company, Motus, a well-known provider of biomechanical analysis from Florida, has created what they very simply call the Motus Pitcher Sleeve. It could be the Holy Grail of pitching... The Sleeve, as I will refer to it, looks like a normal compression sleeve. It visually looks no different than the normal Nike or Evoshield sleeves worn by pitchers and other athletes. The only difference is a small sensor near the elbow that contains both accelerometers and gyroscopes similar to those found in modern smartphones and game controllers.
The idea is that it monitors the stress on the UCL giving coaches and trainers invaluable feedback on what’s going down with a pitcher’s elbow.
Carroll has video and background on it all, noting that at least two teams are messing with the technology right now.
Interesting stuff. The future is cool.
The Red Sox are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1967 “Impossible Dream” team during Wednesday night’s series finale against the Cardinals. Jordan Leandre took the mound to throw out the first pitch. With past players lined up behind him, Leandre wound up and fired to home… juuuuust a bit outside. The ball hit photographer Tony Capobianco right in the family jewels.
Video from Bleacher Report’s Steve Perrault:
To his credit, Capobianco had a sense of humor about it:
Padres first baseman Wil Myers hit an RBI single off of Nick Pivetta in the bottom of the fourth inning of Wednesday afternoon’s game, giving his team a 1-0 lead. He then proceeded to steal second base, then third base, and finally home on a double-steal, scoring the Padres’ second run.
Per CSN Philly’s Marshall Harris, it’s the first time a player has stolen all three bases in the same inning since Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon in 2011. Indeed, on July 1 that year, Gordon stole all three bases against Angels pitcher Bobby Cassevah.
Myers is currently batting.238/.322/.459 with 24 home runs, 59 RBI, 61 runs scored, and 14 stolen bases in 491 plate appearances this season. | [

Lenovo (SEHK:0992) (Pink Sheets:LNVGY) today, at SIGGRAPH 2014 in Vancouver, British Columbia, announced the launch of the ThinkStation P Series, unveiling its vision for the ultimate in desktop workstation performance, reliability and usability. Rebuilt from the ground up, the Lenovo ThinkStation P900, P700 and P500 workstations join the entry-level ThinkStation P300, announced in May 2014, as the most powerful professional-grade desktop workstations available. Now, professionals in engineering, architecture, media and entertainment, oil & gas, medical & science, finance and other industries can arm themselves with workstation technology selected and configured to meet their needs for enhanced productivity and limitless innovation.
“After a period of intensive research, development and testing, we’re excited to introduce our next generation workstations to the market, as we truly believe this is the best designed workstation ever,” said Victor Rios, vice president and general manager, Workstation, Lenovo. “We built on the advancements delivered in our 30 Series workstations and engineered the P Series with new levels of innovation based on extensive customer feedback. The result for users is optimum performance, outstanding reliability and unparalleled usability that is unlike anything they have experienced.”
Whether it’s engineers working in computer-aided design, artists creating the latest blockbuster action sequence or geophysicists interpreting seismic data for oil & gas exploration, users of professional desktop workstations require the best-performing, most reliable and most usable hardware available. The applications these professionals use to innovate in their industries continue to grow more complex and resource-intensive. As a result, users need desktop workstations that can not only meet the application demands of today but also be configured to anticipate the challenges of tomorrow.
Designed for optimum performance, reliability and usability, Lenovo’s new ThinkStation P Series workstations represent a quantum leap forward for workstation technology. Key benefits of the new systems include:
Ease of Use
The Lenovo ThinkStation P Series features a clean, modular design, making it easier to access components for uncomplicated upgrades.
- Tool-less Upgrades: Access critical components – even the motherboard – without the need for a single tool.
- Red Touch Points: Intuitive red touch points guide users’ hands to quick and easy component changes.
- Integrated Handles: Makes lifting and carrying easy – and allows the system to fit conveniently into any workspace. The integrated handles also allow for easy rack mounting.
- QR Codes: Have support questions about your components? Scan the QR code, and you will be directed to our website with detailed information on system architecture and component technical specifications.
- Diagnostic Port: Plug your Android-based tablet or smartphone into the USB port for system analysis using the ThinkStation app, or use any USB mass storage device to transfer diagnostic information directly to the dedicated ThinkStation diagnostics web page.
Keeping components cool is the key to reliability. Lenovo ThinkStation workstations have historically been the coolest in the industry, and the P Series is the coolest system yet.
- Tri Channel Cooling: ThinkStation P Series utilizes a patented tri-channel architecture resulting in superior cooling of key components.
- Air Baffle: Through a one-of-a-kind, fan-less, multi-channel air baffle, the redesigned system draws in maximum airflow, directing cool air straight to critical system components. Warm air is forced out the back without ever touching other components along the way.
Lenovo has brought the idea of expansion to an entirely new level. From memory and storage capacity to power supply and I/O slots, the P Series offers unique configurations that let users customize the right components no matter what their profession requires for a fully loaded experience.
- FLEX Bay: The FLEX Bay has been designed to support an optical drive or the FLEX Module, which can be used to support an ultraslim optical drive, a media card reader, or Firewire (IEEE 1394).
- FLEX Tray: Newly designed HDD trays support both 2.5” and 3.5” hard drives. And with one tray supporting up to two 2.5” hard drives, users can add as many as 14 drives (P900 model only).
- FLEX Connector: Professionals can increase functionality without sacrificing rear PCIe slots using a mezzanine card that connects to the motherboard – allowing for support for SATA/SAS/PCIe storage and advanced RAID solutions.
- Power Supply: Easily remove the tool-less power supply without worrying about cables. For the P700 and P500 models, this means users can match the size of the power supply to their systems’ unique configuration, allowing | [

Bombers of the 20th Century - Vital Guide
At the beginning of World War I a bomber was an ordinary Aeroplane from which small bombs were dropped over the side from an open cockpit.
During World War II they developed into all-weather, day and night fighting machines that bristled with defensive machine-guns and could transport and deliver a 14,000 lb. bomb at a range of 1,000 miles.
By the end of the century, bombers could fly at Mach 2 and some were almost invisible to radar. | [

Wattage is a measure of electrical power, expressed in watts. It’s the product of one ampere (1A) of current multiplied by one volt (1V) across an electrical circuit, and is used to calculate the total amount of energy being supplied or used by a system. Wattage can be used to measure energy output from electrical appliances such as lamps, fans and vacuum cleaners, or it can be used to measure the amount of electricity consumed by electronic components in circuits. Additionally, wattage is essential for calculating the overall efficiency of mechanical devices such as engines and dynamos since it shows how much useful work they can produce with their total input power. The higher the number of watts produced, the more efficient the device is at converting energy into work – and vice versa. | [

White house officials are blocking the release of data from fusion experiments
carried out at nuclear weapons laboratories in the US. They believe that
the experiments, in which laser beams power a fusion reaction, could reveal
secrets of the hydrogen bomb.
Scientists at the nuclear laboratories are ‘beside themselves’ over
the continuing gag order, says one official. According to the researchers,
German and Japanese scientists often present data at open conferences that
are treated as military secrets in the US.
Laser-powered fusion, sometimes called inertial confinement fusion,
is produced by focusing an array of powerful laser beams on a small pellet
of hydrogen fuel. The US will not reveal the design of the fuel ‘targets’
or details of the computer software that is used to design them and analyse
data from the experiments.
Laser fusion is an alternative to magnetically confined fusion, in which
a superheated plasma of fusion fuel is suspended in a reactor called a tokamak.
But unlike magnetically confined fusion research, laser fusion experiments
in the US, Britain and France have been funded by the military as a way
to study the physics of thermo-nuclear weapons. Research in the US is located
at the nuclear laboratories of Los Alamos and Livermore. In Britain, comparable
research is carried out at the Atomic Weapons Establishment at Alder-maston
The laser fusion programme received more than $1.5 billion in government
funding during the 1980s. The budget for 1992 was $192 million, and increases
next year to $212 million.
Despite their military funding, many who work on laser-powered fusion
in the US believe that it will prove useful as a source of commercial energy.
They point out that Japan and Germany have already begun civilian research
programmes devoted to exploring the potential of laser fusion for generating
American scientists have been calling for less secrecy on laser fusion,
so that they can work more easily with foreign colleagues and promote their
research. Two years ago, two reports prepared by the National Academy of
Sciences and a panel of specialists from within the Department of Energy
came to the same conclusion, recommending that some details of the fusion
experiments should be declassified.
Following those reports, the energy secretary, James Watkins, announced
that he was ordering a review of secrecy rules on inertial confinement fusion.
The review would ‘eliminate unnecessary restrictions’, he promised.
On 1 April, staff at the department of energy presented the results
of the review to Watkins. They recommended releasing detailed information
on the design of fuel pellets and some computer software. Watkins felt it
was a good proposal and is reported to have asked for the recommendations
to be laid out in a formal document for approval.
But officials from the White House National Security Council stepped
in and put a stop to the process. They were worried that information from
the experiments could give foreign nations clues to the design of important
A decision on whether to declassify laser fusion data has now been referred
to an inter-agency committee responsible for nuclear nonproliferation policy
that is chaired by the State Department. Several officials, none of whom
agreed to be quoted by name, say this bureaucratic manoeuvre probably means
that nothing will be decided until some months after the Clinton administration | [

General relativistic versus Newtonian: A universality in spherically symmetric radiation hydrodynamics for quasistatic transonic accretion flows
American Physical Society
We compare Newtonian and general relativistic descriptions of the stationary accretion of self-gravitating fluids onto compact bodies. Spherical symmetry and thin gas approximation are assumed. Luminosity depends, among other factors, on the temperature and the contribution of gas to the total mass, in both-general relativistic (L-GR) and Newtonian (L-N)-models. We discover a remarkable universal behavior for transonic flows: the ratio of respective luminosities L-GR/L-N is independent of the fractional mass of the gas and depends on asymptotic temperature. It is close to 1 in the regime of low asymptotic temperatures and can grow several times at high temperatures. These conclusions are valid for a wide range of polytropic equations of state.

ORLANDO — Fifteen years ago Tiger Woods and Ernie Els battled it out in a Presidents Cup playoff beneath the setting sun in South Africa, before the Cup was ultimately shared in the name of sportsmanship. Next year the two golf legends will again match up in the biennial matches between the U.S. and International teams.
Though this time, it will be as captains.
Reports surfaced Monday that Woods and Els will captain the U.S. and International Presidents Cup teams, respectively, for the Dec. 12-15 matches at Royal Melbourne in Australia. On Tuesday at Bay Hill, where both will tee it up this week in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the news was confirmed.
“Here I am as the captain of the 2019 Presidents Cup, and it’s so exciting to be a part of it,” Woods said. “I’ve been a part of eight times as a player, one time as a vice captain, and to have played it in Canada, to play it in South Africa, Australia twice, it’s been a lot of fun to be able to move this cup all over the place.”
Said Els: “It’s obviously a great honor. It’s going to be really exciting and I know it’s a long way away, but I’m really looking forward to this. It’s really kind of a dream job so to speak for me.”
While Els receiving the captaincy for the Internationals came as little surprise, Woods being named captain wasn’t expected this soon. Woods, who has twice served as a Cup vice captain (2016 Ryder Cup, 2017 Presidents Cup), said he discussed the idea with past Cup captains, and then ran it by PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan.
“It came about just through a group text with Davis, Freddie (Couples), Jim (Furyk) and Steve and who we thought might be the next captain and they said that you would probably be on the short list,” Woods said. “And I didn’t really think about it in that way. But then after a little bit of thought I said, ‘you know what, that sounds like something I really want to do.’
“I called Jay up said, ‘Hey Jay, might you be interested in me being the captain for the 2019 Presidents Cup team?’ Silence. And then he said, ‘Yeah, I think that might, we might be able to work that out.’ So here I am.”
Of course, Woods made sure he could still play at Royal Melbourne if qualified. If that happens, Woods would be just the second playing captain in the event’s history. Hale Irwin went 2-1 in a 20-12 victory in the inaugural Presidents Cup in 1994.
“I just wondered if that was an opportunity and (Monahan) said that there’s nothing in the bylaws that say that I can’t do it,” Woods said. “But if it does come to that point, it won’t just be just my decision, it will be a collaborative effort, what is best for the team.”
Els, who holds the course record (60) and has won three times at Royal Melbourne, made one thing clear.
“I won’t be playing,” said Els, who is 3-4 against Woods all-time in the Presidents Cup, though they have played just once in singles.
Back in 2003 at Fancourt, Woods had finished beating Els, 4 and 3, in singles, but the overall competition was tied, 17-17, at the end of regulation. At the time, the tiebreaking procedure was for a sudden-death playoff involving one member from each team, two names that had previously been placed in an envelope.
U.S. captain Jack Nicklaus pulled out Woods’ name. International captain Gary Player matched with Els.
After offsetting pars on the first playoff hole, Els sank a 12-footer for par to extend the match at the second. After Woods holed a 15-footer for par on the third extra hole, Els, in front of the hometown fans, matched from 6 feet.
With daylight fading, Nicklaus and Player, in the spirit of the game, agreed to share the Cup, a move that prompted the removal of such a playoff for future Presidents Cups. Much to the players’ delight, too.
“That was actually one of the most nerve-wracking moments I’ve ever had in golf,” Woods said back then. “… You let everyone down with one putt. That’s a lot of pressure.”
Els, who was relieved at the time to hear that Woods was nervous, echoed Woods’ statements.
“It’s unbelievable pressure,” Els said. “Probably the first I’ve ever felt my legs shaking a little bit.” | [

Turnpike bridges finished
Crews have wrapped-up four years of construction on the the Turnpike's $102 million project to build four new bridges in Carbon County.
New bridges -- separate northbound and southbound spans over both the Lehigh River and the Pohopoco Creek -- are now in place and fully serving motorists between Mileposts 73 and 75 on the Turnpike's Northeastern Extension/I-476 since Fall 2011.
Demolition and removal of the old bridges' steel superstructures and concrete supports, along with the connecting roadway approaching and between the two old structures, finished late last summer. Slopes on both sides of the creek that once held the bridge's abutments have been dressed and replacement wetlands were planted on the southern bank. A number of habitat features have been installed in this natural area as well. And improvements have been made to the multi-use trail that is situated on the abandoned railroad bed on the south side of the Lehigh River and Canal.
The temporary causeways that were built in the stream beds to facilitate construction have been removed, restoring both the Lehigh River and Pohopoco Creek to their natural stream flows. In addition, excavation and site work for the post-construction storm water management basin, final grading of slopes along the Lehigh River and existing approaches and final seeding and stabilization of all disturbed areas within the project area have been completed.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission thanks our customers and neighbors who utilized the project website (www.lehighbridge.com) and its subscriber services to stay current with the progress of construction and its impacts on travel over the past four years. The website and its content will remain accessible until the end of Jan. 2013. | [

We recommend prewashing all fabrics using the same method you will be using for the life of finished project, once sewn to minimize unexpected shrinkage. Fat Stitch tip, prewash your fabrics even hotter than your planned washing techniques for extra protection. That said, some artizans intentionally shrink their quilts after it’s sewn for an extra crinkly effect. Just bear in mind that Bamboo fabrics shrink between 4-6%.

Nearly half of all Americans will suffer some form of mental health problem during their lifetime, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports, stating must be done to help them.
The new government report was based on data collected and tallied on years of country-wide surveys.
It was published on Sept. 2 in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
The CDC research found that 25 percent of American adults reported having a mental illness the previous year. The additional costs associated with treating those Americans in 2002 was $300 billion.
There are unacceptably high levels of mental illness in the United States, said Ileana Arias, principal deputy director of the CDC. Arias said the high cost includes care for the illness and lost productivity.
It still isn't clear why so many Americans suffer from mental illness.
This is an issue that needs to be addressed, Arias said, not only because of the illness itself, but because mental disorders are associated with other chronic illnesses such as heart disease and cancer.
In 2009, some 11 million people, or 5 percent of the population, experienced some kind of mental illness that affected their ability to function. A staggering 8.4 million contemplated suicide in the past year, and 2.2 million actually made plans to kill themselves.
One million attempted suicide, according the study.
While having a psychiatric illness can be tough, there's also the stigma surrounding these diagnoses, which can be an additional burden, experts said.
Many people with mental illness hide their problems from others, some do so out of embarrassment.
Under-diagnosis and under-treatment are still big problems in the U.S., according to mental health experts
Mental illness is frequently seen as a moral issue or an issue of weakness, Arias said. It is a condition no different from cancer or other chronic diseases. People need to accept the difficulties they are having and avail themselves of the resources that are available. | [

Your Journey Begins Here & Now.
The path is ladden with possibility.
“What do all self realised beings irrespective of orientation or industry
have in in common? A top notch Coach, Mentor, or Guru, to help them potentiate their possibility.”
You are likely here because you realise the importance of investing in your self and capitalising on your innate possibility and are keen to know how to get started?
In this day and age of technological advancement, where the wisdom of the masters (spiritual & material) is available at the touch of a button, you’ve probably already begun your research by investigating the myriad of possibilities available to you out there.
Self realisation is the knowing of our essential nature beyond the body/mind connection. Self actualisation is the means of outwardly realising our inner potential. Imagine being capable of both?
You’ve hit saturation point, however, and are now quickly realising that if you are going to make any serious headway then you are going to have to enlist in the services of a professional mentor, or life coach. | [

my first crush was named chris, in middle school. i was so crazy for him! he was a gorgeous red head. i remember him smelling so good and my heart fluttering whenever he merely looked my way. when he held my hand, it was amazing the way the skin of our hands felt touching together - sensory overload! and when he held me close in an embrace, it was heaven on earth. we used to go back and forth with 'i love you more'...'i love you more.'...'i love you more' and so on before hanging up the telephone. he was my dreamy, cute first crush that still makes me smile fondly today. a neat memory! i remember hugging him goodbye at senior school graduation and telling him that i still loved him. i will always love him for being my first crush. i hope all is well with him wherever he is and whatever he is doing. hopefully life has been good to him so far.

When I was ten There was a boy in my class called Alex Binns I had the biggest crush on him. I used to try to memorise his mums car number plate so I would know if they ever drove by me. He was in my English class, always used to sit opposite him and watch him writing, one day when his pen ran out I stole it from out of the class bin, I'm not sure why but I kept it in my pencil case. It wasn't untill I was 14 that I managed to tell him that I was kind of in love with him and thats when he asked me out. It only lasted about a week turns out we had nothing in commmon.

Some of you may know that I was born with Down syndrome. Some of you may be aware that I have a disability, but are not sure of what it is.
Down syndrome is a genetic condition that occurs when an individual has an extra copy of chromosome 21. Typically, each person has two copies (one from their mother and one from their father) of each of our 23 chromosomes for a total of 46 chromosomes. This extra chromosome 21 alters the course of development and causes low muscle tone, small stature, almond-shaped eyes, developmental disabilities, and other characteristics associated with Down syndrome. One in every 691 babies is born with Down syndrome, making it the most common genetic condition.
Up until about 25 years ago, the prevailing belief was that people with Down syndrome could not learn, so children were not even allowed to attend regular schools. Now, students with Down syndrome are included in their neighborhood schools, have jobs, and even vote. Some go on to college and get married. When I was born, doctors told my parents that I might not read or write. My parents refused to believe that and fought to have me included in my local elementary school. Since then, I have taken a regular curriculum and currently have a 3.7 GPA. I am going to be the first person with Down syndrome to graduate with a standard diploma from Wilson in June.
I spoke at the White House in the fall to talk about how important it is for students with Down syndrome to have access to regular classes, and not just be put in all special education classes, so they can reach their full potential. I have been challenged by being in regular classes, and it has allowed me to become part of the Wilson community.
Having Down syndrome just means that you have an extra chromosome 21. We are still regular people who like the same things everyone does – going shopping, getting Starbucks, or going to concerts. If you meet someone with Down syndrome, look past their appearance and try to get to know them. I bet you’ll find they’re pretty cool.

As a parent, one of the most challenging tasks is getting your toddler to sleep through the night. After months of co-sleeping, it can be difficult to transition your toddler to their own bed. However, with the right techniques and consistency, you can successfully sleep train your toddler and enjoy a full night's rest. In this article, we'll discuss how to keep your toddler in bed the entire night and provide tips for sleep training after co-sleeping.
Why Is Sleep Training Important?
Sleep training is the process of teaching your child to fall asleep and stay asleep on their own. It is an essential skill for both children and parents, as it promotes healthy sleep habits and allows for uninterrupted rest. For toddlers, sleep training can also improve their mood, behavior, and overall development.
Transitioning from Co-Sleeping
Co-sleeping, or sharing a bed with your child, is a common practice for many families. However, as your child grows older, it's important to transition them to their own bed for safety reasons and to promote independence. This transition can be challenging, but with patience and consistency, it can be successful.
Tips for Sleep Training a Toddler After Co-Sleeping
Start with a Bedtime Routine
Establishing a consistent bedtime routine is crucial for sleep training. This routine should include activities such as a bath, reading a book, and singing a lullaby. By following the same routine every night, your toddler will learn that it's time for bed and will begin to relax and prepare for sleep.
Create a Comfortable Sleep Environment
Make sure your toddler's bedroom is conducive to sleep. This means keeping the room dark, quiet, and at a comfortable temperature. You can also use white noise machines or soft music to drown out any outside noises that may disrupt your child's sleep. Our Baby Mood Lite is a great tool that allows you to monitor your toddler during the night while also providing a soothing night light, soothing sounds and has a built-in sleep trainer.
Be Consistent with Bedtime
Consistency is key when it comes to sleep training. Set a specific bedtime and stick to it every night. This will help your toddler's body adjust to a regular sleep schedule and make it easier for them to fall asleep on their own.
Use Positive Reinforcement
Praise and reward your child for staying in their bed all night. This can be in the form of stickers, a special toy, or extra cuddles in the morning. Positive reinforcement will motivate your child to continue sleeping in their own bed.
Be Patient and Persistent
Sleep training takes time and patience. Your child may resist at first, but it's important to remain consistent and persistent. Eventually, they will learn to fall asleep on their own and stay in their bed all night.
Sleep Training for Toddlers 18 Months and Older
Gradual Withdrawal Method
For toddlers 18 months and older, the gradual withdrawal method can be an effective way to sleep train. This method involves gradually reducing your presence in your child's room until they can fall asleep on their own. Start by sitting next to their bed until they fall asleep, then move to a chair in the room, and eventually to the doorway. This method can take several weeks, but it allows your child to feel secure and gradually learn to fall asleep without your presence.
The Cry-It-Out Method
The cry-it-out method, also known as the Ferber Method, involves letting your child cry for a set amount of time before checking on them. This method can be difficult for parents, but it can be effective for toddlers who have a hard time falling asleep on their own. Start with a short amount of time, such as 5 minutes, and gradually increase the time before checking on your child. This method can take a few days to a week to see results, but it can be successful in teaching your child to self-soothe and fall asleep on their own.
Common Challenges and How to Overcome Them
It's common for toddlers to wake up in the middle of the night and call for their parents. When this happens, it's important to remain consistent and not give in to their demands. Comfort your child with a quick hug or kiss, but avoid picking them up or bringing them into your bed. This will reinforce the idea that they need to stay in their own bed to sleep.
Early Morning Wake-Ups
If your child is waking up too early in the morning, it may be a sign that they are not getting enough sleep at night. Make sure their bedtime is early enough and that they are getting the recommended amount of sleep for their age. You can also use blackout curtains to keep their room dark and encourage them to stay in bed until a reasonable wake-up time.
It's common for toddlers to experience sleep regression, where they suddenly have trouble falling asleep or staying | [

DOHA, June 14 (KUNA) -- The Qatari Foreign Ministry announced late Saturday the success of its mediation efforts, made at the behest of the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, to free four Tajikistani soldiers from captivity in Afghanistan.
The four Tajiks were kidnapped by Taliban group in December on the northern borders of Afghanistan.
The Qatari efforts stemmed from the state's commitment to humanitarian values, the ministry said in a statement.
It added that the State of Qatar is using all its resources and diplomacy to save lives, praising all those who contributed to the successful mediation. (end) | [

Using APM 2.5with a 3DR power module but I want to add a Pololu switch to power up the board. I need to isolate the 5 volt lines on the DFC 13 cable. I thought it was the red and adjacent black wire but the board powered up regardless
Here is a link to the APM2.5 schematic: diydrones.com/forum/topics/a … -schematic
The “Mystery” port on the schematic is the PM connector port. You will notice that two of the outer cable wires (1&2) are +5vdc and the other two wires on the other side of the connector are the GND (5&6) wires.

Published August 25, 2021
A current University of Wyoming student and two recent UW graduates had the opportunity to work in a professional laboratory setting this summer, with each contributing to a unique research experience. And another UW graduate recently began his internship.
Jacy Busboom, Nathan Linton and Rene Mendez all worked at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) this summer as part of the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internships (SULI) program. Reid Olson, who graduated from UW in May with a dual bachelor’s degree in computer science and zoology, began his internship Aug. 23 at National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colo.
The program encourages undergraduate students and recent graduates to pursue science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers by providing research experiences at Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories. Selected students participate as interns appointed at one of 17 participating DOE laboratories/facilities. The students perform research with the guidance of laboratory staff scientists or engineers on projects supporting the DOE mission.
Linton, a first-year master’s student in mechanical engineering from Lander, worked on a molecular dynamics simulation project for INL’s Materials Science and Engineering Department. He had to produce material properties data for a certain material of interest.
“The real-world value of this research is that it cuts down the time it can take to develop a new material,” says Linton, who received his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from UW last December. “It’s also cheaper to run simulations, as you don’t have to physically create the material and run tests on it for every material property you are interested in, which can be very expensive.”
Linton adds that he learned a lot about LAMMPS (large-scale atomic/molecular massively parallel simulator) code and how to implement the code in these types of simulations.
Busboom, of Douglas, worked on a project involving bioleaching of mine tailings to recover tellurium, a critical material used in thin-film photovoltaics. Bioleaching is the application of microorganisms to extract metals into solution. Thin-film photovoltaics use a thin film incorporated into solar panels that are used to absorb sunlight and convert it to electricity.
Compared to other thin-film photovoltaics, tellurium -- in the form of cadmium telluride -- products are more efficient.
“I learned both hands-on techniques and how to keep a detailed, interactive lab notebook, which is important when passing on a project to another intern or peer,” says Busboom, who received her bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from UW in May. “In terms of real-world value, this is important for the development of sustainable tellurium production, as much of this still takes place in other countries as a byproduct of copper mining.”
Busboom says her internship work ties into her education at UW, as she is interested in the biology side of chemical engineering and was able to take electives geared toward this. She previously conducted research at UW involving microorganisms that allowed her to apply them to a more advanced topic.
Mendez, who received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry in May, worked with Busboom with his mentor, David Reed, and Yoshiko Fujita, both senior staff scientists at INL.
Using bioleaching, Mendez says he investigated the precipitation of rare earth elements. A microbe, called gluconobacter oxydans, was used to produce an organic acid that, when used with oxalic acid, would produce rare earth metals in solution.
“The use of chemistry during these processes directly ties with what I learned at the University of Wyoming,” says Mendez, of El Paso, Texas. “Being able to manipulate the rare earth metals into a form that can be reused resembles the chemistry coursework I have done at UW.”
Currently, substances, such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid, have to be pumped into the ground to extract the rare earth elements, processes which are extremely damaging to the environment. A new method, which is safe and reliable in extracting and recycling rare earth elements, is necessary as they are commonly used in electronics and automotive systems, Mendez says.
Olson started his internship this week at NREL in the Data, Analysis and Visualization group. He is helping to develop a tool to help individuals determine optimal locations for distributed wind systems.
“This project is highly relevant, considering the environmental challenges we are currently facing,” says Olson, of Casper. “Working on a project that is addressing these challenges is very meaningful for me. I anticipate learning a variety of valuable skills, as well as gaining useful insight from working in a nonacademic research setting | [

Meetings business is picking up but CVB funding is still a big issue for many destinations, while an oversupply of convention space in some markets gives planners a negotiating edge.
LET'S START with the good news: convention business, like the economy, continues to pick up steam. The Center for Exhibition Industry Research estimates a 3 percent increase in trade show business last year, with continued growth predicted for 2012. Many cities, including Las Vegas, Boston, and Philadelphia, saw a big bump in total room nights booked, with 2012 trending the same way. An increase in hotel business equals an increase in room tax revenue, the primary funding source for many...

Knowledge graphs enable a wide variety of applications, including question answering and information retrieval. We demonstrate the effectiveness of R-GCNs as a stand-alone model for entity classification.
In this work, we introduce ConvE, a multi-layer convolutional network model for link prediction, and report state-of-the-art results for several established datasets. We also show that the model is highly parameter efficient, yielding the same performance as DistMult and R-GCN with 8x and 17x fewer parameters.

We study the problem of learning to reason in large scale knowledge graphs (KGs). More specifically, we describe a novel reinforcement learning framework for learning multi-hop relational paths: we use a policy-based agent with continuous states based on knowledge graph embeddings, which reasons in a KG vector space by sampling the most promising relation to extend its path.
In statistical relational learning, knowledge graph completion deals with automatically understanding the structure of large knowledge graphs---labeled directed graphs---and predicting missing relationships---labeled edges. State-of-the-art embedding models propose different trade-offs between modeling expressiveness, and time and space complexity.
Learning embeddings of entities and relations is an efficient and versatile method to perform machine learning on relational data such as knowledge graphs. In this work, we propose holographic embeddings (HolE) to learn compositional vector space representations of entire knowledge graphs.
Because knowledge graphs typically only contain positive facts, sampling useful negative training examples is a non-trivial task. This framework is independent of the concrete form of generator and discriminator, and therefore can utilize a wide variety of knowledge graph embedding models as its building blocks.
Graphs are fundamental data structures which concisely capture the relational structure in many important real-world domains, such as knowledge graphs, physical and social interactions, language, and chemistry. Here we introduce a powerful new approach for learning generative models over graphs, which can capture both their structure and attributes.
Knowledge graphs (KGs) are the key components of various natural language processing applications. To further expand KGs' coverage, previous studies on knowledge graph completion usually require a large number of training instances for each relation.
In line with previous work on static knowledge graphs, we propose to address this problem by learning latent entity and relation type representations. The proposed approach is shown to be robust to common challenges in real-world KGs: the sparsity and heterogeneity of temporal expressions.
A visual-relational knowledge graph (KG) is a multi-relational graph whose entities are associated with images. Both the prediction of relations between unseen images and multi-relational image retrieval can be formulated as query types in a visual-relational KG. | [

How MindBeacon Supports Your Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Strategy
Supporting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) has become essential for businesses across Canada. As one of the most diverse countries in the world, our greatest opportunity lies in representing what a country with diverse gender and sexual identities, religions, physical and mental disabilities, mental health needs, immigrant statuses, ethnicities, cultures, and racialized populations (and more) should reflect. An article by the Scientific American states that “mental illnesses are so common that almost everyone will develop at least one diagnosable mental disorder at some point in their life.” This proves that we all need access mental health support that is effective, accessible, and affordable, to cope with the day-to-day challenges we face no matter who we are.
MindBeacon works daily to educate Canadians on mental health issues and provides them with the tools to cope and succeed in their daily lives. We also help a diverse range of people, from a wide variety of backgrounds and offer them the resources to get the help they need if we cannot be the ones to support them. Through our efforts to destigmatize mental health, we strive to create a culture where people are understood and accepted even with their personal mental health challenges. Within this world and culture, people also have privacy and choice, and affordable mental health is available to all, wherever they are, in a way that works for them. We continuously work on enhancing our offerings to answer the needs of all Canadians and on being even more inclusive.
While mental health issues are usually invisible to others, they are very real for those who experience them. A lot of us have experienced some form of anxiety, loneliness, and depression within the last year - maybe for the first time. This has provided us with a perspective on what a lot of people in Canada have been experiencing for years. For some, having gone through similar experiences has led to empathy, and this shared experience has brought us together.
On this path forward, one thing for certain is that the recovery process is not going to be immediate. And people will need more help and support than ever.
So how does MindBeacon support your (and our own) DE&I Strategy?
For us, the first step as an organization is to walk the walk. MindBeacon does this by:
- Being an equal opportunity employer committed to a diverse, inclusive, and accessible workplace.
- Employing therapists who focus their practice on areas that cater to different needs including LGBTQ+, corrections, Indigenous, first responders and health care workers.
- Creating remote and rural availability to make therapy more accessible for those living in remote communities.
- Providing different options for therapy including Guided iCBT Programs, Live Therapy as well as Peer-to-Peer support. This way, individuals can choose the way they would like to engage on their terms.
- Making therapy accessible 24/7 so individuals are not constrained to weekly appointments and can fit therapy into their lifestyles.
- Providing representation through work with diverse client names, images, experiences as well as cultural references.
- Offering content in English and French.
- Supporting visually and hearing-impaired individuals within the platform.
- Collaborating with patient advisory groups including student and BPOC organizations.
- Implementing culturally specific programs and supplementary content to meet unique needs.
Education & Destigmatizing Mental Health:
- Providing training and resources for therapists to better address a diverse set of needs.
- Destigmatizing mental health by protecting privacy, providing education, and normalizing mental health challenges.
- Using evidence-based therapies with measurable outcomes.
- Having shorter than industry average wait times (1-2 weeks)
If any of your employees are struggling with mental health, no matter where they come from - refer them to the supports available to them through the workplace. Our therapists are ready to assist and help them through their challenges. | [

My London paintings are always inspired by my observation of the city from the perspective of a "weekend reveller" - travelling into the city on Friday and Saturday nights to play as a nightclub drummer/percussionist in London's throbbing house music scene. This piece, in particular, depicts my fascination with the city's deserted streets, solitary strangers and occasional taxis and buses. The main focus of my London works is to connect and unite the viewer with the un-knowable inner-worlds of these anonymous characters as they journey home under the midnight moon.
I absolutely love this painting, which is infused with my soul.x

FAST Rings 6.5 Inch 3 Piece Speaker Enhancement Kit
- Improve Audio Projection
- Reduce and Dampen Rear Audio Waves
FAST Rings 6.5"
"The Original" 3 Piece Speaker Enhancement Kit
FAST Rings solve the problem of acoustically coupling aftermarket speakers to factory speaker openings. It’s a laser cut foam product with industrial-grade, peel away adhesive backing.
The rings separate into three pieces. The first FAST Ring is a dedicated gasket for speaker mounting to the baffle plate surface. The second ring mounts around the outer edge of the speaker, just past the surround. The third circular foam pad goes behind the speaker to absorb unwanted reflections on hard surfaces, such as inside a car door.
By using the 3-ring approach the kit improves the projection of the audio into the car cabin and reduces unwanted rear reflections that can degrade the sound.
- Increase Mid Bass
- Reduce Panel Vibration
- Reduce destructive wave interference
- Help prevent front and rear wave cancelation
- Focus all your sound into the cabin
GET ALL THE SOUND YOU PAID FOR!!
For Accoustically Sealing Transducer Rings - Patent # 8,739,921 B1
6.5” F.A.S.T. ring kit
*Does not come with speakers shown in images.
Includes a pair of 3pc Speaker kits for installing two speakers.
- Separate the three pieces of Foam (101, 102, 103)
- Clean the back panel of the door, remove the backing paper from 103 and adhere directly behind the speaker to the outermost panel in the door. This will help absorb the rear wave and reduce panel vibration. (This step is optional as it is possible to absorb moisture)
- With a razor blade cut circumferentially 102 down to approximately 1/4”. Remove backing paper and adhere to mounting surface of speaker. This will decouple the speaker from its substrate and prevent front and rear wave cancellation.
- Using standard installation procedures wire and mount speaker.
- Clean around the outside edge of the speaker, remove the backing paper from 101 and adhere 101 directly around the speaker. Test fit panel for fitment. If needed trim 101 circumferentially until proper fitment is achieved. It should press tightly to the door panel. This will focus all the sound into the cabin, prevent panel vibration and destructive wave interference giving you noticeably improved speaker performance and less panel resonance.

The Texas House is currently considering a bill to disclose fluids used for natural gas production in hydraulically fractured wells. H.B. 3328, proposed by Rep. Jim Keffer, R-Eastland, would take effect on Sept. 1. Rep. Mark Strama, D-Austin, has joined the bill as a coauthor, along with several other representatives.
For those unfamiliar with hydraulic fracturing, some natural gas is hard to unearth because the rock it is in has very little space for the gas (porosity) and very few pathways between spaces that allow the gas to move (permeability). A huge technological advancement occurred when the industry figured out how to create artificial pathways by pumping high pressure water mixed with chemicals into the rock until tiny cracks form, repeating the process along a horizontal pathway in the rock. This practice is called multistage horizontal hydraulic fracturing, and it has dramatically increased the United States’ available natural gas supply. However, fracturing fluid providers have been secretive about which chemicals they mix with water before pumping it underground. It is widely believed that more environmentally friendly chemicals are both available and viable but are not yet in wide use.
Hydraulic fracturing fluid disclosure has been a contentious issue in the U.S., largely because of the potential risk that these fluids might come in contact with usable groundwater. Fluids no longer contain components like diesel, but with disclosure not required, it is difficult for citizens to judge exactly how dangerous the fluids might be. The Texas proposal to publicly disclose fracture fluid composition is a good step. We cannot assess risks without knowing what the risky components are.
I’ve written reasonably extensively on natural gas hydraulic fracturing as part of my research, and my in opinion, while the practice is not sufficiently dangerous to stop, it is also nowhere near sufficiently benign to justify keeping the fracture fluid chemicals secret. For now, any claims of safety are difficult to support, as there is little public information as to exactly what goes into hydraulic fracturing water. It’s difficult to write about hydraulic fracturing without bias since many of the more informative reports are industry reports. While I feel that industry reports should be included in research — after all, it is the industry that houses the most expertise about these activities — it would be much more academically comfortable to not rely primarily on these sources. Independent verification is vital.
Hydraulic fracturing poses some risk to groundwater, as does any activity that involves puncturing an aquifer. Most importantly, fluid spills at the surface can have serious impacts on local water. Accident rates are extremely low, but the impact of a single accident can be severe. This is especially true if important aquifers that supply large numbers of people are exposed. While the risk of contamination from a single well might be tiny, some aquifers host hundreds or thousands of wells, increasing the risk that one of them could fail. Still, the benefits of replacing coal with natural gas outweigh the risk of water contamination from hydraulic fracturing, in part because coal mining and combustion have serious implications for water as well.
Knowing what is in hydraulic fracturing fluids will be a major benefit to researchers trying to assess the full environmental and social consequences of different types of energy use. If hydraulic fracturing is low risk, having public evidence to verify will only strengthen the claim that natural gas use is beneficial. If it is not low risk as it is currently practiced, public outcry could move the industry towards more environmentally acceptable fluids. As it stands, people assume the worse, so public opposition to hydraulic fracturing is building both here and abroad. Given that hydraulic fracturing, partnered with horizontal drilling, have enabled the cheap extraction of vast amounts of a fossil fuel cleaner than the one we currently burn (coal), many expected that the technology would be welcomed as an energy savior. Instead, because the industry has clumsily handled the chemicals issue, people have begun to view natural gas with considerable suspicion. Public chemical disclosure should be required as soon as possible so that environmental problems can be better anticipated and addressed before they escalate.
The flavor of hydraulic fracturing that has become a major part of the United States’ energy supply chain started in Texas, and many other states look to Texas for guidance on how to regulate. Texas needs a chemicals disclosure law.

Hair is among the most popular ways to drastically alter your appearance overnight. Because hair takes time to grow out, a new haircut may not be the best way for you to experiment with your appearance. A change in hair color allows you to experiment with your appearance without affecting your hair length. The best part is that you could always choose any color in the spectrum to have as a hair color these days. Here are several tips that many people don’t know about making their hair color last longer.
Do Not Shampoo Immediately
After applying hair color to your hair, it settles into your hair in at least 24 hours. Even after your colorist has washed your hair, the dye will continue to work for several hours. If you shampoo the hair at home, the color won’t be able to settle in properly. This will cause hair color to fade.
Use Products for Colored Hair
If you want your hair color to last, you should use hair care products designed specifically for colored hair. This is crucial because other products could strip your hair color. Use shampoo and conditioner for colored hair which does not contain sulfates, alcohols, or other harsh chemicals. Because the color can have a drying effect on your hair, you should use nourishing hair care products.
Use Hair Masks Regularly and Other Conditioning Treatments
Color-treated hair is more delicate and may require more attention and care from you. To restore moisture to your colored hair, purchase conditioning treatments like rich hair masks as well as hair oils. To add moisture to the hair, you can also get a hair spa treatment at a beauty salon or do it at home.
Reduce The Use of Heat Styling
You may enjoy the way your hair looks after using a flat iron, curling iron, or hair dryer, but heated styling can cause color-treated hair to dry out even more. When doing heat styling, always use heat protectant products first.
Avoid Hot Showers
Hot water can cause your hair color to appear dull and shorten its life. The heat softens your cuticle, allowing your hair color and moisture to escape. When shampooing your hair, rinse out with room temperature water, then towel dry, condition, and then rinse out with cold water to seal the cuticle. This gives you longer-lasting hair color, keep your hair hydrated, and also eliminate split ends.
Use A Gloss Treatment
Using a gloss treatment in between coloring treatments can always help refresh the look of your hair. The gloss coats the strands to add shine as well as color, which can help restore faded hair. Because the effects typically last one to two weeks, you can apply a gloss maybe once or twice in between your coloring sessions.
Always Wear UV Protection
Sunlight may also lighten the hair and cause it to fade more quickly. If you want to keep your hair color looking good for a long time, use a leave-in conditioner with a sun protection factor or cover your hair with a scarf or hat when you go out in the sun.
If you take a few precautions and devote some time to hair care, your hair color will last longer and your hair will be healthy for many years to come.

ORIGIN AND DISTRIBUTION
Native to the Mediterranean Basin region, it is naturalized in other parts of the world, including much of eastern North America and Africa.
A. blithum grows in many regions of the world, most notably mediterranean, tropical and subtropical parts of the world. This species is found in central and western parts of Kenya in wet areas, on waste ground and in cultivated land.
The Greeks call the Amaranthus blitum var. silvestre, vlita (Modern Greek: βλίτα), and eat the leaves and the tender shoots cooked in steam or boiled and then served with olive oil, lemon and salt. Similarly, it is also picked as young shoots in Lebanon and cooked in olive oil, onion, chilli, and burghul, seasoned with salt and drizzled with lemon juice before eating with pita bread. It is considered a side dish and particularly popular in the north of Lebanon.
USES AND ETHNOBOTANY
Leaves and young shoots are used as a vegetable. This is an important leafy vegetable in tropical and subtropical areas of Kenya and a popular species in traditional homegardens and sold in open markets.
PROPAGATION AND CULTIVATION
The plant can be propagated easily by broadcast seeding. In favorable conditions it can become naturalized and is most likely considered invasive in some areas. But as a highly nutritious edible leafy green, perhaps that's not such a bad thing. | [

In its opinion, the court pointed out Linda Heiple’s insurance policy contains a provision that excludes losses to which voluntary drug use, without a prescription, is “a contributing cause.” The toxicology report for her showed she tested positive for metabolites of cannabis and cocaine.
The court determined that in light of the evidence presented to the plan administrator, it did have a rational basis for denying benefits based on the provision excluding losses contributed to by voluntary drug use. A police report indicated Heiple was at fault for the accident and Insurance company Jefferson Pilot’s reviewing physician concluded that the presence of cannabis and cocaine in her system could have been contributory to the collision.
Linda’s spouse, James Heiple questioned whether Jefferson Pilot sufficiently established a causal connection between the metabolites in his wife’s bloodstream and her death. According to the court, while James Heiple’s reasoning might provide a basis for disagreeing with the plan administrator’s decision, none showed that Jefferson Pilot lacked evidentiary basis or reasonable rationale for its decision.
James Heiple presented evidence to the court showing seven co-workers believed she left an event uncompromised by any drug use. He maintained that the reviewing physician was conclusory in his analysis, unqualified in relevant areas, failed to account for the effect of pain relievers and possible false positive toxicology results, and was not provided information later available.
The court said James Heiple also alluded to the possibility of a conflict of interest, in that Jefferson Pilot both pays for claims and makes decisions about whether to pay them. However, the court determined Heiple provided no factual basis for suggesting that the insurance company acted improperly.
The case is Heiple v. Jefferson Pilot Financial Insurance Co., E.D. Mich., No. 07-12319-BC, 1/8/08.

After listening to Judy Blume speak about Tiger Eyes at her engagement at the Toronto reference library last week, I was curious to reread Tiger Eyes. Reading her novels in my younger days, they seemed to grow with me and this book was was written for the older teenager dealing with serious topics of death, violence, sexuality, alcohol abuse, love and bereavement.
The main character, Davey, is dealing with the brutal death of her father who had been shot to death at his 7-11 store while Davey had been in the backyard with her boyfriend. Davey, her 7 year old brother and mother are thrown into despair and all deal with the death in their own separate ways while recuperating at the Aunt and Uncle’s in New Mexico. The little family requires the gentle nurturing of family and some professional help as they recover from their loss.
Judy has always been protective of having her books adapted for the screen and Tiger Eyes is the only book that has been made into a movie (it can be found on Netflix). She adapted this into movie together with her son. She laughed and shared that her son WAS Fudge – that he DID eat under the table and call himself Frisky that cat, reassuring the audience that at age 52, he does eat at the table now! Judy said that she and her son always knew that they would film Tiger Eyes if they had a chance.
She gushed about the process of filming the movie. She loved the intensity and long days that they spent in New Mexico and she took time off from writing In the Unlikely Event to complete the movie. Judy found the break helpful, came back refreshed and wrote parts 2, 3 and 4 of the book. The latter section of the book was so much better that she went back and rewrote part 1.
It has been refreshing to reread some of the books that I enjoyed as a teen. Tiger Eyes remains current and would be a great read for today’s teens. Judy Blume truly is an icon who understands teens and writes books that age along with teens. I am very pleased to have met her and listened to her speak about her writing.

- Best Driving Iron In 2021
Sometimes the driver is just not the best tool for the trade. The wind howling into your face will result in the ball ballooning miles into the air and blowing back toward you thus losing distance.
So, what are your alternatives? A fairway wood? A hybrid? A long iron? Or is there something else?
To the rescue comes the driving iron.
This article will look at the 5 best driving irons to get you off the tee at the best trajectory generating the longest distance.
What is a Driving Iron?
Driving irons can best be described as a fusion between a hybrid and a long iron. They precede the hybrid for a long time but did not keep pace with the technology built into hybrids.
The technology used in hybrids offered golfers the convenience they wanted, and it became the favored option.
Driving irons are a compromise between long irons, fairway woods, and hybrids. It optimizes the advantages while minimizing the cons.
With a standard iron body and a lower face angle, driving irons allow golfers to hit more accurate tee shots with just a smidgen less distance.
Hybrid technology offers more distance than a driving iron at the expense of control.
An enlarged sole combined with the iron-like face on the driving iron can tempt some to replace a hybrid.
Hybrids and driving irons may play a similar role, but they are two vastly different clubs. Let us look at the differences.
Hybrids vs Driving Irons
- Diverse looks
Driving irons have a traditional iron shape with a larger clubface, while a hybrid has a more rounded body and smaller overall clubface.
Driving irons tend to be much more controllable than a hybrid.
A hybrid offers more distance and better turf interaction.
Who Should be Playing a Driving Iron?
Driving irons are not suitable for all golfers, it is seen to be geared toward the lower handicap golfers. Although it is closer in design to a hybrid than a typical long iron, they require you to have a high swing speed to optimize the ball trajectory and distance.
You have to earn the right to use a driving iron. Many an hour will be required on the driving range to increase swing speed and getting used to the intricacies of hitting a driving iron.
If generating clubhead speed and distance is a problem, you may want to stay clear of these clubs.
Due to the lack of mass behind the ball compared to a hybrid, driving irons are less forgiving and generates less distance. However, they do have more mass behind the ball than a traditional long iron making them more forgiving at the expense of control.
Many professionals believe that swing speeds less than 100 miles per hour would be better off using a fairway wood or a hybrid.
If you frequently play in windy conditions, it would be wise to invest time on the driving range and learn to hit a driving iron.
When to Use a Driving Iron?
Selecting the correct situation to put your driving iron into play and leave your driver in the bag can be rather challenging. Even the best drivers of the golf ball in the world sometimes have to sacrifice distance for accuracy.
Using a driving iron is most apt when accuracy matters more than distance. This does not apply off the tee, long approach shots where accuracy is required, a driving iron could be better than putting a fairway wood in play.
The Best Way to Use a Driving Iron
To get the most out of your driving iron requires an aggressive yet controlled swing. Do not overswing or force the swing. Allow the power to come mostly from the driving iron itself.
Picking the Best Driving Iron for You
Before we go into the list of the best driving irons, let us first talk about what makes a driving iron good.
Advantages of Driving Irons
- Larger sweet spot
Driving irons generally have a larger sweet spot than fairway woods for extra forgiveness.
- Lower ball flight
Driving irons generate lower ball flight making it ideal for use in windy conditions or to keep your golf ball below overhanging branches.
- Iron Feel
The traditional iron look, prominent profile, and feel will make the golf ball easier to hit and boost your confidence
- Weightier swing

Did Christianity Steal the Date of Pagan Winter Solstice Celebrations?
Part 3: The Mis-Use of Roman Sources: Saturnalia
In these articles we have seen the texts from the early Christians that show their reasons why they calculated particular dates for the Incarnation and Birth of Christ. These dates were based on the Passover texts. Even their calculation for the dates of the Creation of the universe centered on the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ at the Passover.
We have already dealt with the actual historical documents concerning Juvenalia and Sol Invictus. The two other pagan Roman festivals typically claimed as sources for Christmas include Saturnalia and Brumalia. Brumalia was more properly the Winter Solstice.
Here we are going to separate Saturnalia from Brumalia. The reason for this is simple, they are not the same thing. Though there are some ancient documents that speak about these two occasions as happening at the same general time of the year, there is considerable variation in the ancient texts as to when Saturnalia could actually be celebrated.
Often claims are made that Saturnalia is the origin for Christmas caroling, gift giving, Christmas lights, and even the notion of celebrating the birth of a particular child.
What was Saturnalia?
One of the problems in describing Saturnalia is that there is no single ancient Roman document that describes the festival fully. The closest and fullest description comes from the 5th century A.D. by the hand of Macrobius in his work titled Saturnalia.
Of course, by the 5th century the dates for the Christmas celebration had long been established. So, while the modern claim that Christmas had been moved to December 25th in order to suppress or “baptize” the Saturnalia celebration is without any merit, there are these other aspects of the Saturnalia celebration that modern Christmas revisionists claim the Church stole from the pagan festival.
Saturnalia was a festival dedicated to honoring the pagan god Saturn. In Greece the name of Saturn was Kronos. Very often there are claims that the festival involved the celebration of a special birth. T.C. Schmidt has posted extensive quotations from Macrobius’ (5th Century AD) book titled Saturnalia. The quotations concern the nature and origin and history of the festival of Saturnalia.
From the quotations of Macrobius it becomes apparent that the Romans did not have consistent stories about the origin or the dating of the festival. Macrobius outlined four different traditions for the origin:
- The first tradition claims that the festival was instituted by Janus so that humans would honor their ruler Saturn (who had disappeared) for the gifts Saturn gave to humans: arboriculture, fertilizer, using symbols of Saturn’s effigy holding the sickle (1.7.24-26)
- Another tradition says the festival was instituted by men Hercules left behind on Saturn hill. In this version the festival was created to help men be respectful of gods. (1.7.27)
- A third tradition claims a different geographic origin, that the festival was instituted by the Pelasgians who had migrated into Sicily at the oracle. In this tradition the festival was made to honor and thank Saturn, Dis, and Apollo. This tradition claims that at the festival people originally offered human sacrifices, but Hercules came and convinced them to make masks and burn candles in stead of the human sacrifices. In this particular tradition it is claimed that people of position and power demanded gifts, for a while, from the poor during the festival. (1.7.28-33)
- The last listed tradition says the festival was instituted in Greece further back and adopted by Rome. “The day is kept a holiday, and in country and in town all usually hold joyful feasts, at which each man waits on his own slaves.” (1.7.36-37)
Macrobius recorded these four variants on the origin of the festival, but none of them had to do with the birth of a child or the celebration of an infant. Notice that #3 lists the tradition of using candles and gift giving. #4 brings in feasts and master/slave role reversal.
The implication in the modern revisionists is that Christianity is so un-original:
- that it could have no other real reason than stealing from Saturnalia as justification for using light to celebrate “the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world.” Certainly nothing more ancient than Roman Saturnalia, like Isaiah 60 or a separate tradition at that same time of the year like the Feast of Dedication/Chanukah (John 10:22) from the period of the Maccabees;
- that without Saturnalia Christians could not possibly conceive of giving gifts in honor of the Christ Child, like the Wise Men at Christmas time (Matthew 2); or
- that the poverty of the incarnation of the Son of God, the King of Creation to serve | [

Although Australian (permanent) residents and citizens are fortunate to enjoy the benefits of a universal public health care system that largely provides care at no cost to the individual, payment and funding anomalies exist that are frequently a source of surprise and distress to patients. Some out of pocket expenses are known and anticipated by patients; others are more subtle and unanticipated.
This presentation will explore the numerous guises in which financial toxicity arises. Obvious costs include parking, gap payments and medication co-payments. Perhaps less obvious is the impact of lost or reduced income for patients and their caregivers throughout active treatment and beyond. Further contributing to this issues is the widening of the income inequality gap in the Australian community. Increasingly, there are ethical dilemmas about access to experimental or unapproved treatments that may be purchased by those with financial means but remain unavailable to those without.
Even more ethically challenging is the growing trend to accessing funds in order to pay for “last resort” therapies which are often unproven. Frequently these are treatments that are available for some conditions but not for others. They may have been touted in the media as “miracle” treatments. Clinicians are placed in the unenviable position of having to discuss costs; indeed sometimes having to decide whether to divulge or withhold information about novel treatments based on the individual’s capacity to pay. Some patients and families are utilising social media channels to raise funds for treatments that may not be supported by their health care providers; often implying that there are discriminatory practices at play in inequitable access to treatments.
Conversely, can the clinician be regarded as colluding in potentially unethical practices if they don’t engage in frank discussion about the value of unproven treatments with patients who are publicly raising funds by donation? Media reports of “cancer breakthroughs” are gaining momentum and social media platforms are becoming ever more creative. How best can clinicians manage these challenging scenarios that require transparent and principled clinical decision-making? | [

|Aries celebrating becoming the longest reigning X Division |
Champion on Impact Wrestling 03/15 (photo Lee South)
The list of former X champions is impressive, with Styles, Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle being the stand out names, all of which are among the greatest of this generation, so Aries is in good company when it comes to those who have held the title.
Longest Reign Ever
Being the longest reigning champion is a sure sign of greatness. It can even be argued that this automatically makes Aries the best and currently no one is showing signs of ending his terrific run with the gold. Contently turning in top rate performances, A Dub is the current highlight of Impact Wrestling and is being rewarded with main event slots and in-ring time with the World Heavyweight Champion, Bobby Roode. Which in itself is elevating the X Division Champion and giving the belt more exposure than it has received in years.
Aries' reign began by defeating Brian Kendrick at No Surrender, mere months after winning a contract at Destination X, and has gone on to defend the Championship against all the X Division has to offer, month after month, including Kid Kash and most recently Zema Ion. But having already defeated everyone, who is left for Aries to go through and who is capable of besting him for the gold?
Lack Of Competition?
|Aries teasing the crowd|
(photo Jeremy Borash)
Despite going through the X division roster, it could be argued that the division is the weakest it's ever been. Zema Ion is still a relative newcomer, Kid Kash who is an experienced veteran and has held the title before, Tony Nesse has been on television only a handful of times, Brian Kendrick has left the company and who I feel TNA were likely to push as the next champion, Jesse Sorenson, suffered his life threatening injury.
Not taking anything away from the current crop, but comparing them to the early competitors there were a lot of strong potentials in a time that saw the title change hands multiple times, as it was strongly competed for.
With Aries being pushed into main event slots, the title being given airtime and the chance to become the person to wrestle the title from the champ this could become desirable for those who have left the division behind such as Daniels or Kazarian.
Aries has defeated everybody who has stood in his way but he has yet to test himself in the signature match of the division, Ultimate X. A win in this match up is probably the one thing Aries is missing from his resume to declare himself the greatest and with his showmanship and in ring ability would cement him as one of the companies top stars.
With the crowd reaction and push Aries is receiving as of late it is difficult to see anything but a push into the World Heavyweight picture although before then I would like to see him retain the X Division championship for just a little longer, enough to headline the Destination X pay per view and reach a full year as champion even going through to Bound for Glory.
Along that path I would love to see former champions such as Daniels and Styles try and best the current champion and put on some match of the year candidates, and Kurt Angle to even challenge Aries for the title of 'Greatest Man to Ever Live'. Matches against opponents of their calibre would raise A Dub's stock further and put him firmly as the current Greatest Wrestler in TNA. | [

Baudry, F. Burel, R. Landscape Ecology is an emerging science of gaining momentum over the past few decades in the scientific as well as in the planning-management worlds. Although the field is rooted in biology and geography, the approaches to understanding the ecology of a landscape are highly divers. This hybrid vigor provides power to the field. One can no longer view a local ecosystem or land use in isolation from global areas and time frames.

In landscape ecology, Richard Forman is well-known for his competence to periodically overview the advancing body of knowledge. He has a sharp eye for new developments and in combination with his pictorial way of analysing the diversity of landscapes and their ecological functioning, his books became landmarks in the field of landscape ecology. Through the eyes of a landscape architect, we are treated to a comprehensive description of how urban landscape patterns have grown out of this interaction. Unlike other urban ecology books, this is not a book about ecological mechanisms, nor is it about planning urban landscapes.
Richard Townsend Turner Forman is a landscape ecologist. He is a professor at the Graduate School of Design and Harvard College in the Harvard University. He is the author of a widely held textbook for landscape ecology, "Land Mosaics: The Ecology of Landscapes and Regions. According to WorldCat, the book is held in 564 libraries.

ABSTRACT: Changes in land use associated with the suppression of native vegetation can greatly alter the landscape configuration, affecting biodiversity and environmental services availability. This study analyzes how changes in land use affect landscape patterns of vegetation remnant over a 10 year period. We quantified spatial landscape patterns throughout a hydrographic basin for the years 2002, 2008, 2010 and 2012, using nine landscape metrics. | [

|Tori Spelling Gets Real About Surviving Money Woes, Working at Marriage|
|ABC News||Nov 6, 2013, 10:28 AM|
We've never seen Tori Spelling quite like this.
No topic is off limits in her new book, "Spelling It Like It Is," from the headlines about how she lost her baby weight, to the notion that reality TV might not, in fact, be so real.
"Did I stop eating?" Spelling, 40, asked ABC News' Cecilia Vega. "No. I in no way, shape or form did anything that was completely unhealthy for my body. Jokingly, I would say, 'It's, you know, the stop eating diet.'"
And although the reality-TV star admits certain scenes, such as showing the results of her pregnancy test, from her now cancelled show, "Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood," were re-enactments, she says, "It doesn't negate everything we have done for years as being a real family on TV."
The mother of four is certainly not afraid to dish about other celebrities as well, such as her crafting idol, Martha Stewart, who Spelling says was less than warm and fuzzy.
"Martha Stewart, with her cold, relentless perfection, is a dying breed," Spelling writes in her book of the domestic diva.
Victoria Spelling is the daughter of Hollywood royalty, but she says she can no longer afford to live a life of luxury.
"According to Google, you are worth $15 million," Vega told the actress. "And you say, 'I want to set the record straight. I didn't have $1 million.' That is shocking to a lot of people."
"Probably," Spelling responded.
"Set the record straight," Vega said. "Are you broke?"
"I am not broke. No," Spelling said.
When her father, famed TV producer Aaron Spelling, died seven years ago, Spelling reportedly inherited less than $1 million of the family fortune.
"I lost my father. I lost my hero," she said. "But did I think I would get more? Yes."
Spelling admits that bad spending habits mean she's had to scale back, although she still has a masseuse, a live-in housekeeper and was looking for a summer home.
"Hearing them all lumped together, it's hard to hear it," Spelling said.
After she and husband Dean McDermott had their fourth child last year, financial advisers broke the news that there wasn't enough money for a vasectomy.
"In their minds, it was an extravagance," Spelling explained.
Today, however, Spellings says the one thing she has been running from her entire life, she now embraces.
"I hated the perception people would put on me about being Aaron Spelling's daughter," she said. "The word nepotism, I feel like I was born with it being my middle name."
Of her six books, this is the first where she has used her famous last name in the title.
"This is an amazing man," she said of her father. "I should feel proud to be like, 'I am Aaron Spelling's daughter.'" | [

Sustainable architecture has become a pressing need in today’s world, where environmental concerns are at the forefront.
As architects strive to create buildings that are energy-efficient, environmentally responsible, and eco-friendly, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a game-changer.
AI technologies offer sophisticated analysis and optimization tools, empowering architects to design sustainable structures that leave a minimal carbon footprint.
Let’s explore how AI is transforming sustainable architecture practices and its impact on the future of environmentally conscious design.
Enhancing Sustainable Architecture with AI
AI’s rapid growth and innovative applications have opened new avenues for sustainable architecture.
AI-powered tools provide architects with invaluable data and insights during the design process.
These technologies enable a comprehensive analysis of building designs, identifying opportunities to optimize energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
By simulating various scenarios, AI ensures that architects can make informed decisions that prioritize sustainability.
Optimizing Building Designs for Efficiency
One of the key aspects of sustainable architecture is creating buildings that consume minimal energy while providing maximum comfort to occupants.
AI architecture tools excel in optimizing building designs to achieve these goals.
Through advanced simulations and algorithms, architects can determine the most energy-efficient layouts, material selections, and building systems.
By reducing energy consumption, AI contributes to the long-term sustainability of structures and minimizes the strain on natural resources.
Embracing Sustainable Materials with AI
Selecting eco-friendly materials is a critical aspect of sustainable architecture.

The Eagle Forum and Utah’s Dead Democracy
Letter to the Salt Lake Tribune, November 27, 2010:
Democracy in Utah is now only a memory. A corrupt, money-driven Republican political machine, beholden only to the National Rifle Association and the Eagle Forum, controls state government and is no different than political machines anywhere.
The arrogance derived from power allows the state’s GOP leaders to simply deny any chicanery in a $13 million payoff to silence the losing bidder in a flawed bid process for a billion-dollar state contract. And the majority of a pitifully small number of voters seems perfectly satisfied with the status quo.
The result is that the addled patriarchs of the Legislature will continue to dismiss human-influenced global warming, work doggedly for irrational gun rights, hype carbon energy, fight environmentalists and insist that last-place in public education is perfectly acceptable, despite two-thirds of third-graders who can’t read.
The Republican machine has provided a cozy nest for those who find reason and reality uncomfortable and who don’t wish to address the inconsistencies of a backward state.
Utah lacks the social capital to support a healthy democracy. Its institutions have failed to produce a majority who demand responsible, ethical government and public policy based on science and the best information available.
Salt Lake City
COMMENT: Dear Ron, I used to feel such anguish as I watched little infants struggle to breath, turn blue and then often pass away because their parents had refused to vaccinate them against common childhood infections such as Whooping Cough (Bordetella pertussis). One of the problems here in Utah is that Gayle Ruzicka and her Eagle Forum have been actively teaching parents that immunizations such as the MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) and vaccinations cause autism and other complications. This connection has been proven false, but the Eagles still cling to out-dated and erroneous information. This is just one example of how Utah children are harmed by the Eagles, yet our Utah State Legislature seems strangely beholden to them.
I don’t blame the Eagles, I blame all of the apathetic, non-voting, non-caring Utahns who just sit idly by and allow this corruption, deceit and abuse of power to flourish in our State. Where are the sane, moderate parents?
Where are the educators when Senator Chris Butters proposes that we eliminate the 12th grade to balance the budget? Where are the Science Teachers when Gayle Ruzicka tries to control our science curriculum from everything to the formation of planet earth to evolution to global climate change. What will our future hold if our children cannot learn solid science?
Where are the true Statesmen who swore to uphold the Utah State Constitution that states that no one religion shall dominate? Where are those who honor women, our mothers, sisters and daughters and who reject blatant misogyny? Where is chivalry? Why do our male leaders not come forward and defend the honor and virtue of women?
Eagle Forum campaigns to weaken rape shield laws and allow for rape to be legal in certain circumstances. Why? Where has respect for women gone?
Where are the Right-to-Lifers who used to campaign to protect the unborn? Don’t they understand that one of the biggest threats to the unborn is the Rubella Virus, the Virus that Gayle Ruzicka does NOT want women to be immunized against?
Mostly, where are the Spiritual Leaders, the Church Leaders? How can they look the other way as hate groups and hate crimes increase in Utah. Where are they? Why are they silent?
Get out and vote, Utah. Carefully check every single candidate, be they Democrat, Republican, Constitutional Party or Independent? Do they have ties with, sympathy for, associations with Eagle Forum? Know before you vote!!!
Anti-Climate Change Extremism in Utah
The Commie Fighters
In my previous post, I recounted how Rep. Chris Herrod (R-Provo) had indicated that his reason for dismissing the vast majority of climate scientists’ views was that he was concerned the political solutions proposed to address climate change would lead to loss of freedom and an inevitable slide toward Totalitarianism. Yes, he’s a Commie Fighter. Now, I’m a political Conservative, too. I don’t like Big Government, and if there is any way to get around dealing with climate change by levying huge taxes, and so on, I’m all for giving it a try. Even if I sympathize with such sentiments, however, I have a hard time going along with some members of the Utah Legislature when they try to paint mainstream climate science as part of a global conspiracy to impose a Totalitarian regime.
During the last Legislative Session, Rep. Kerry Gibson (R-Ogden) introduced House Joint Resolution 12 (H | [

EUROSATORY 2022: GM Defense announced today it recently formed a new entity, GM Defense International, in order to sell its fleet of ground vehicles to international customers.
GM Defense International will expand the company’s footprint outside of the US and will “support of U.S. allies and partners’ transition to a more electric, autonomous and connected future,” a press release said. The news, announced as part of Eurosatory 2022, is the latest example of the growth of the young defense company, a subsidiary of automaker giant General Motors, since it re-entered the defense market in 2017.
“Forming GM Defense International will drive our continued expansion as we leverage GM’s rich legacy of innovation in support of global defense and government customers,” said Steve duMont, president of GM Defense, in a statement. “As a non-traditional entrant to the defense market, we continue to receive positive feedback on our ability to bring commercial technologies forward at the speed that our customers require in these complex times.”
Earlier this month, GM Defense announced that it had partnered with GM Canada to expand its business north. DuMont said the new entity would target the North America, European, Indo-Pacific and Middle Eastern markets. In the United States, GM Defense has contracts with the U.S. Army and the State Department. The company won a $214 million contract with the Army to build the Infantry Squad Vehicle, a small troop transport vehicle.
Apparently eyeing the European market specifically, the company timed the announcement to coincide with Eurosatory, one of Europe’s largest defense conferences, where the firm is displaying its Infantry Squad Vehicle and its Off Road Concept Vehicle.
One advantage GM Defense says it has is its ability to tap into the power of its parent company, General Motors, which sells million of civilian vehicles every year. The defense subsidiary is able to use the commercial vehicle designs of its parent company and modify them for the defense sector.
GM Defense is also well-positioned for future electric vehicle competitions given GM’s $35 billion investment in electrification and autonomy technology. The Defense Department is signaling increasing interest in electric vehicles because of their operational benefits, fuel savings and significantly reduced environmental impact.
Later today, new Senate legislation is expected to be introduced that would require the Pentagon to aggressively speed up its purchase of electric vehicles for its non-tactical fleet. | [

First things first – I’m going to be sad for a long time. This is the final episode in this, ‘the year of four emperors’, and this makes me sad. Now whenever I get a craving for the author’s very creative writing style I’ll be forced into a rereading her books – oh, wait a moment, that is actually a good thing. 🙂 Alrighty then, glad to have thought this through, I feel much better; now onto the review of Vitellius’ Feast.
As with the other failed emperors, this particular failure is told from the perspective of the professional palace staff members, which means we get to follow the exploits of some of my favorite fictional characters (at least the one’s who have survived the previous failures). Philo, Epaphroditus, Lysander, Felix, Sporus, and Mina are all involved in various ways. At first, serving the new emperor, but in the end – well I best not go there, let’s just say that the author has once again bewitched me with her plots, subplots, and surprises. The interaction between the fictional characters and the historical figures is, as expected, flawlessly contrived; the description of Vitellius’ gluttony and abhorrent bedtime practices, the sometime comical interplay between Mina and Domitian, yes dear readers, the author is at the top of her game. I expectantly await more from her. 🙂 5 stars
Okay, I am now convinced beyond all doubt. I have read Mistress of Rome, The Three Fates and Kate Quinn’s contribution to Day of Fire and through reading these books I noticed that a certain amount of talent lie within her pen and keyboard. What put me over the edge in my nascent admiration, is chapter 17 in Daughters of Rome, the chariot race chapter. What Judah Ben-Hur and Messala did for chariot racing on the big screen, Kate does in chapter 17.for the written word. Now that’s not meant to take away from the rest of the book; oh no, not by any means. The author has portrayed four Cornelian noble women and their seeming ever changing fortunes during the infamous Year of the Four Emperors. With each new emperor a new level of growth for our four heroines from the loosening of Cornelia’s stubborn resolve to the change from the ‘oh woe is me’ Marcella to the ‘instrument of change’ Marcella. Lollias’ coming to grips with love and the sheer number of emotions experienced by Diana in chapter 17, well that alone is worth the price of admission, dear reader. Yes, I am convinced, Kate Quinn can write pretty good. 5 stars
‘A nicely done short that serves as an interim between Empress of the Seven Hills and Lady of the Eternal City. Certainly got me interested in reading the rest of the series.” That is what I wrote after reading The Three Fates, a fill-in short between books 3 and 4. With that bit of exposure to the author I plunged into book 1, Mistress of Rome having had my interest duly piqued. I must say that even with that bit of exposure I was still blown away with this tale of love, ambition and just plain survival. The story takes place during the reign of Domitian, or Lord and God, as he preferred to be called and is an interwoven tale that brings together a most disparate group of people. Thea, a slave who becomes Domitian’s mistress….Lepida, a rich, spoiled Roman woman consumed with ambition…Arius, a gladiator known as The Barbarian to name a few. Rome was a dangerous place and even more so when coupled with exposure to the Imperial court and the author does a marvelous job in making the reader feel the palpable anxiety whenever one is in the presence of the Emperor. Domitian is portrayed as a capable ruler but with a mercurial streak of sadistic behavior. While he does inflict a lot of pain, it is the character of Lepida that I found the most delight in loathing. Simply put, she is a devil-clawed seeker of pure naked ambition, Those are but two of the well done characters, characters that draw you into a comfortable embracing of what makes them tick. As to the tale itself, the plots are many, the twists and turns are eye-opening. If there is anything that I would complain about it would be these two things: (1. now I have another author to follow through this series and then her books on the Borgias…so many good things to read takes away from my time to write and (2. another author whose writing is so good that I despair in my own attempts. 🙂 5 stars Hooverbookreviews says, you gotta read this.
