The Tata Zest sibling is all set to make crowd notice it due to its novelty
User review on Tata Bolt written by Akash Setia on 26 April 2015
Akash Setia's review on Tata Bolt Petrol
Year of Manufacture : 2014 | Driven no. of Kms. : 9800
- Pros: Cabin is comfy and spacious
- Cons: The engine punch is low end
I liked the Tata Bolt from its looks. It is fairly sized car with ample features in it. The ride quality is also perfect for me. I am also fan of its relaxing cabin which is indeed the best thing about any hatchback from Tata motors. The engine is a turn off factor for people. As I have some friends too who are having this car. They all are disappointed by its engine punch. The bootspace is also not enough for longer journeys of more people. Everything else is good in this car. But i really feel that its styling could have been better and not so much conventional. | [

Here’s a springtime menu that will surely delight your family. Featuring a colorful, vegan asparagus tart served with savory stuffed artichokes, a refreshing salad, and flavorful roasted cauliflower on the side, this menu makes a wonderful meal for a festive occasion.
Asparagus Tart This amazing savory tart is a tasty cross between a veggie quiche and a crustless tart. It’s simple to prepare, pretty to serve and delicious to eat!
Cashew Stuffed Artichokes These tasty artichokes are so festive! They feature cashews and sunflower seeds showcased in a flavorful stuffing. I like to serve this colorful dish as a first course and they do double duty as a luncheon entrée.
Pretty Paprika Roasted Cauliflower Red onion and sweet paprika both dress up this dandy cauliflower dish, while roasting it brings out the flavor of this nutritious, cruciferous vegetable.

This morning I was up to do some painting on the orchids. Since it was early, it was still dark. All of a sudden the sky lit up and we ended up having a big thunderstorm complete with hail. This is very strange weather for March in southern Ontario.
It cleared up during the morning and it became a beautiful day. I walked downtown to meet a friend for lunch and these little darlings were in the garden of the church down the road. The first blooms I’ve seen this year! | [

Feeing trapped by life right now? A challenging realization during these times of accelerated change is that WE are our only jail keeper. We are running the patterns that sabotage our life (that is the good news). We get to experience accountability for the choices we make and the experiences those choices create. Everything we are thinking, feeling and manifesting in our life is a result of our choices.
We are constantly making choices…to honor or disrespect ourselves, others and our community. You cannot think of yourself as a humanitarian and flip off the driver next to you at the same time. The ripple effect of that action is huge. We wonder why we are so aggressive in our behavior. This can even be skiing up behind someone with no warning and ‘getting off’ on watching them flinch. What triggers that? What is the intention? Feelings of powerlessness and ineffectual behavior often are the flint to this particular match.
Next time you start a sentence with the words, “I have to…” – please stop. These are the words of feeling “trapped” and when we release the patterns that keep us trapped and replace the words with what we want to create, things shift quickly. When you hear yourself say “I have to”, replace it with what you would rather have. Choice is what makes us a creature or creator of circumstance. Notice that when we talk about choice, it goes hand in hand with accountability. They are linked and inseparable. The effects of your choices are on yourself, others and your community – and that is the accountability of a healthy individual.
Life shouldn’t feel like you are always “on the edge”. The ride is more neutral than that. We all have things in life that trigger us. When the triggers happen with more and more frequency, it is time to safely release some of our stress load and get back on track.
Rapid Eye Technology can access these patterns that no longer work in our lives, release them and create a new pattern of connection and support. This is done without diagnosis, drugs, or machines – it is our body’s natural process of REM sleep and a gentle, safe modality that creates dramatic change in a short amount of time. This change happens quickly because you, the client, use your own tools rather than taking on someone else’s ideas and trying to fit your life into their box.

It’s time to update my blog.
I am now blogging from Tullamarine, Melbourne. It’s been 3 weeks since I left KL. I am in Australia on a work and holiday visa. This past three weeks hasn’t been pleasant. Been wanting to blog as soon as I got here, but I was so caught up in planning my next move. I dare say I am a bit stable now.
I left KL for Perth on 1st of March 2011. I spent exactly 2 weeks in Perth at Modillion Ave South, Riverton. It’s 30 minutes to the Perth CBD and only 5 minutes drive to Faiz’s place. Been around a lot, and manage to see almost all of Perth, except the northern region. * shrugs * Will go back there when I have more moolah.. :D
I left Perth for Melbourne to get a job. Chances of getting a job here in Melbourne are much greater.
I don’t know which is better comparing Perth and Melbourne. Never really like Perth’s lifestyle as it was too quiet, and sometimes I find it… a bit…dead. But I totally love the weather, the beaches and the people in Perth. It’s a perfect place for retirement, not for me though. As for Melbourne, people here are rude, sky as grey as if dooms day is coming, and the weather has been screwing me up. It’s cold and then hot and then rainy. You literally have 4 seasons in a day.
I am definitely more of a beach bunny. Don’t mind the sun and the tan!
I hate to say this but I miss Perth.

Mobile operators hope to thwart 4G plans
|15 марта 2010|
Telecommunications companies are threatening to launch a legal challenge to the government’s plans to increase the availability of internet access on mobile phones.
O2 and Vodafone are considering legal action after ministers finalised their proposals to end a bitter and long-standing dispute between mobile phone operators over radio spectrum.
The government is hoping that parliament will approve a law before the end of the month that will enshrine the plans for a large auction of spectrum in the first half of 2011. But O2 and Vodafone are threatening to launch a judicial review of the plans that might delay the auction.
If the auction timetable slips, it could delay the start of mobile services based on fourth generation mobile technology that will enable faster web surfing on handsets compared to 3G. Mobile operators in the US and Japan are starting 4G services this year.
Legal action by O2 and Vodafone could also hamper government efforts to ensure that all homes have internet access – some households in remote areas will have to rely on wireless access because of cost.
Last week, the government announced its solution to the mobile operators’ dispute over spectrum ownership. The scheme is part of ministers’ Digital Britain initiative, and is based on a report last year by Kip Meek, a former senior official at Ofcom, the telecoms regulator.
The mobile network operators – Telefonica’s O2 UK subsidiary, Vodafone’s British business, France Telecom’s Orange UK, Deutsche Telekom’s T-Mobile UK and Hutchison Whampoa’s 3 UK – expressed broad support for Mr Meek’s proposals.
However, the proposals had to be modified after France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom announced plans to merge their British mobile businesses. The merger was approved by the European Commission this month, on condition that the combined Orange/T-Mobile entity sell 25 per cent of its spectrum at the 1800 MHz bandwidth. This spectrum is the most suitable for mobile services based on 4G wireless technology called LTE.
O2 and Vodafone are concerned at how the combined Orange/T-Mobile entity has agreed with the Commission that it would sell its 1800 MHz spectrum to a single bidder. It means that either O2 or Vodafone will most likely buy the spectrum. One of the two companies will miss out.
They are therefore demanding that ministers alter their solution to end the operators’ spectrum dispute.
Vodafone said: “Fair allocation of spectrum is vital for our customers and for competition in the UK’s mobile industry. There needs to be an urgent re-examination of what can be done to amend the current proposals.” O2 expressed similar views.
BT is also considering legal action because it objects to plans to make the mobile operators’ 3G operating licences indefinite.
The Department for Business, overseeing the plans, said it had no intention of amending the proposed law.

Meltio has introduced two new innovations: “Horizon” slicing software and a laser calibration system.
The Spanish company produces metal 3D printing equipment that is easier to operate than most typical LPBF metal 3D printing systems. While other systems tend to use toxic, explosive and expensive metal powder as material, Meltio’s solution involves wire that can be easily handled, purchased and used.
This technology immediately eliminates the need for much of the expensive safety systems required for powder-based metal 3D printers.
Because of this, Meltio’s 3D printers are quite suitable for metal production operations with less ability to dedicate resources to the technology, and that’s quite a large market.
Now, Meltio has developed two new innovations that should complement their products in that market.
The first innovation is new job preparation software, called “Horizon”.
The easy-to-use software includes the usual job preparation features, but also includes settings related to Meltio’s wire additive manufacturing system.
Horizon also includes a feature to compute the true cost of each print job. This will be incredibly useful to customers, many of whom will be using additive technologies for the first time and might have issues computing costs without such guidance.
Meltio has merged material profile information to be centralized on the slicer, whereas previously there were some settings that would have had to be done on the printer itself. Now it’s all in the software and much easier to access and use.
Because the Meltio system allows the use of differently-sized metal build plates, Horizon is now able to handle these configurations. It adjusts the build volume in the slicer to match the assigned build plate.
There’s many more features, and Horizon also now updates itself to the current version automatically. This includes release of new pre-made print profiles, which could be quite useful.
If you’ve ever used a laser system of any kind, you’ll know that the laser must be calibrated precisely. This is because the energy from the laser is typically focused to a point where energy levels are sufficiently high to cut material, or in the case of wire additive manufacturing as used on Meltio’s systems, melt the metal.
Meltio’s calibration is a bit more complex as their technology is not just one laser, but SIX! These six laser must each be focused and then aligned on the same spot to ensure maximum energy.
Meltio has simplified the process of calibration with a new laser calibration kit.
The kit is composed of a special camera, which is placed by the laser and provides a “clear view of the laser focus point”. This view then greatly simplifies the calibration as the operator is able to see instantly the results of an adjustment.
This should not only increase print quality on Meltio machines, but also avoid inefficient use of energy: misaligned lasers would not melt the metal as effectively.
What’s quite interesting about this calibration is that apparently the system tracks the adjustments. This allows the operator to “back up” if adjustments go wrong, and also the ability to consistently adjust the lasers, ensuring part consistency.
These are two excellent improvements to the Meltio system. | [

August 2017 has seen him achieve a BPE1 in just seven months after submitting images to National Exhibitions in the UK. The BPE1 is awarded for 25 acceptances into National Exhibitions throughout the UK, he also picked up two selectors Medals in the process, these are awarded by judges for images of outstanding quality, composition and creativity. A BPE2 is next in his sights, and he will need fifty Exhibition Acceptances to obtain the BPE2 Crown Award.
Feeling rather stoked! - I had an excellent time down at Bolton Camera Club tonight which was as usual, a very well turned out event. It was our Presentation Evening for all the 8 competitions I was eligible to enter which were held during 2016. The Trophies were presented by the current President of the L&CPU Garth Tighe CPAGB.
Many of the club members in the Advanced level regularly compete against each other and consistently produce some fantastic images; they never fail to astound me with their incredible images be it street photography, landscape and wildlife work, and I start every competition night after running through the images wondering if I’m ever going to be up there with a chance of a winning shot. The judges on the whole last year were a pretty well chosen lot by our competition secretary Richard; I consider between them they made some great decisions and also some very questionable ones too!
Anyway this is how it panned out. I won for the second year running the Trophy for the ‘Themed’ Competition. I also won the trophy for the (PDI) Projected Digital Image Competition. Also, I won the Trophy for The Best PDI image taken on a Club Day Out competition. (I only went on one to New Brighton, mainly to offer other members help and assistance in their own photography). And to top it all off, out of a total of 96 club members, I also won the Bolton Camera Club ‘Photographer of the year’ Trophy having scored the most club points in all the competitions throughout 2016, so all in all I’ve bagged four trophies of which I am immensely proud of. Congratulations must also go to all the other club members who were runners up and those who also won the other sections.
Thanks too to my wonderful wife Eileen who constantly wonders what the hell I’m doing most nights in front of that computer screen! Now I hope you realise it’s all been worth it! (I have some new and exciting gear in mind too for my next birthday in a week or so xxx)
2017 will be a bigger challenge as the club has now 3 sections with, beginner, intermediate and advanced workers and there are just 10 of us in the advanced section. Good luck to everyone in 2017.
A final mention must go to John Durkin who won the ‘Club Level Print Competition' trophy along with the 'Club Level PDI Competition' Trophy, well done John, you’ve come a very long way in a short space of time, keep it up.
Here is a selection of some of the winning images that have earned me the points and trophies.
Tony Duffey had a formidable task on his hands when he came to judge our final theme competition of 2015 for the themed competition. I was 7 points ahead and it was all down to the last competition which had the theme of 'Textures' I submitted 1 print of Caldy Beach and a 2 Projected images, one was of Bark Street East on a rainy evening showing off the cobbles and the other was of a scene from Croatia of a man sat on a set of steps in the old town. All images did well coming 2nd, 4th and 5th. All in all I managed to beat the whole club with a comfortable lead of 5 point over Richard Towel winning the Roy Williamson trophy which will be engraved with my name and presented in January 2016
BCC Competition - 24th September 2015
I submitted three images for the penultimate round in the 'Natural Frames' Theme Section last Thursday at Bolton Camera Club and managed to get them in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place!, not bad considering the waterfall image was taken using my Smart phone!
With just one more theme left next month for 'textures' I am in 1st place and 5 point ahead of the other members! Just hope I can do well!
In recent months, in fact a year come to think of it I have been preparing my work in order to attain a Credit with the PAGB (Photographic Alliance Of Great Britain) From a selection of some 40 or so images I worked along side my mentor Christine Widdall MPAGB EFIAP ABPE using the L&CPU mentoring scheme, this gives the photographer a good grounding as to the required standard of image needed to gain the Credit. After several emails and exchanges of critique I finally submitted my 10 images in March 2015.

The Worst Country in the World
This book can be downloaded and read in iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
In 1787 a handful of people - convicts, marines and government officials - sail across the world to settle a new colony and call it New South Wales.
In 1801 Mary Pitt, a widow with five children, migrates to New South Wales from her home in Dorset to live among these same convicts.
Two hundred odd years later Mary's great great great great granddaughter travels to what is now Australia to discover why her ancestress risked the lives of her entire family to make her home in a penal colony. She uncovers tales of astonishing bravery and bloody-mindedness, the origins of a unique form of class distinction, why her own Australian/English mother was the person she was and how what was once regarded as the worst country in the world became one of the 'luckiest'.

Regularly one of the top softball programs in the state, the Frederick Warriors know the drill when it comes to navigating a postseason schedule and the value of playing at home in the regional round.
Their desire to host a regional tournament showed in the way the Warriors finished out the 2017 regular season. Behind two strong outings from starting pitcher Makenna Goodard and some timely hitting, the Warriors (13-6) routed Windsor (10-9) and won their season finally against No. 2-ranked Holy Family (14-4) to move up to eighth in the final RPI (Ratings Percentage Index) standings and lock up the final host slot.
On Saturday at 10 a.m, the Warriors will kick off the postseason in Region 2 against Pueblo East (9-10), and they’ll do it on their own field.
Also hosting a 4A regional, the Erie Tigers (14-5) will play at home for the Region 3 tournament as the fifth overall seed. They’ll kick off the postseason against No. 28 George Washington (13-5) at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
“I think it’s awesome how many Tri-Valley teams are in the playoffs,” Erie head coach Harold Simmons said. “Over the years, I think our conference has been really strong so having as many teams in as we do is deserving. We all play a really strong out-of-conference schedule, too. As far as us hosting, we love playing at Erie High and we’ve enjoyed hosting there the last three years. It’s a good atmosphere, I think.”
Despite coming into the playoffs as the No. 2 team in the CHSAANow.com rankings, the Holy Family Tigers finished the regular season 12th in the 4A RPI standings and will not host a regional tournament. Instead, they’ll head to Erie to take on No. 21 Wheat Ridge (9-10) in the first round and could potentially face Erie in a Tri-Valley League rematch in the regional title game. With seven of the eight Tri-Valley League teams qualifying for the regional round, No. 27 Mead (10-9) will travel to face host No. 6 Pueblo Central (15-4) in the first round of the Region 6 tournament.
No. 18 Silver Creek (14-4-1) will also head down to Pueblo to take on No. 15 Mullen (12-7) at Pueblo West. No. 26 Longmont (11-8) will travel to face host No. 7 Thomas Jefferson (17-2) in the Region 7 opener.
In 5A, reigning runner-up Broomfield (13-6) claimed the No. 12 seed and will play No. 21 Cherry Creek (9-10) at Prairie View on Saturday. With the No. 4 seed, Legacy (16-3) will host Chatfield (9-10) in the first round on Saturday.
In 3A, Lyons (6-13) enters the regional round as the No. 20 seed at will play Delta (11-8) at Lamar on Saturday.

Nick Clegg's apology has done little to redeem his party's reputation among students, according to an NUS survey of 25,000 students.
Just one in 10 students (11.1%) say they are more likely to vote Lib Dem after the deputy prime minister said sorry for promising not to increase tuition fees before the last election.
When asked which political party they would to vote for, one in 13 (7.7%) said they would back the Lib Dems, making them less popular than Labour (37.9%), Conservatives (16.8%) and the Green party (8.0%).
NUS president Liam Burns was unsurprised by the findings, adding that students felt betrayed by Clegg's decision to renegade on his promise not to vote for a tuition fee rise. "Nick Clegg actually won students' votes by signing the pledge. It is clear he has lost them by breaking it. This attempted apology has created more confusion than clarity. Mr Clegg must now make amends by changing his policies."
In the runup to the 2010 general election the Lib Dems targeted university campuses with their campaign to abolish fees, while Clegg and his MPs signed the NUS pledge not to vote for a rise.
Burns backed comments made Lib Dem party president Tim Farron that the party "should have fought harder" to keep its promise and called on Clegg to change his policies.
"He and those of his colleagues who voted for a rise in tuition fees should not be apologising for making a pledge which reinforced the Liberal Democrats long standing and fully costed proposal to abolish tuition fees." | [

When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped down from their Apollo 11 moon lander 40 years ago tomorrow, they seemed to move in their bulky spacesuits with an unlikely ease.
Only a handful of the millions watching them on TV that night knew that many of the spacewalking skills and tools developed during the missions leading up to the historic landing had their origins in a 75-foot swimming pool at the McDonogh School in Owings Mills.
Three years earlier, at a time when U.S. astronauts were failing miserably in their first attempts to move and work effectively outside their spacecraft, it was a pair of Randallstown researchers -- Sam Mattingly and Harry Loats -- who persuaded NASA that underwater training was the best way to simulate the challenges of getting the job done in outer space.
Among the astronauts who worked and trained at McDonogh's pool between 1964 and 1966 were Aldrin (the second man to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969), Scott Carpenter, Jim Lovell and Gene Cernan (the last man to walk on the moon, during Apollo 17, in December 1972).
"We felt we shared in their accomplishments," said, Mattingly, 82, who is retired and living in Ocean Pines with his wife. "It was a great period to live through, and to be closely associated with such great people."
Mattingly was always full of stories about working with the astronauts, and his own rigorous training -- diving in a pressure suit, parachute and survival training, dealing with explosive decompression or floating weightless in a looping airplane - to work out the problems of simulated weightlessness.
"Every time I tell a story of these memories to my son, Randy, he tells me that I really should write a book," he said. Instead, he penned a 58-page memoir about the days that took him to McDonogh.
Alternating pool time with the school's students, he wrote, the two men and their team of 10 or 12 solved many of the problems of working in space. They figured out the need for tethers, handholds, foot restraints and more space-glove-friendly tools. The value of long hours of underwater rehearsals and strict safety procedures first became apparent from their experiments, and laid the foundation for today's astronaut training.
"There is a continuing heritage from the work done at McDonogh" to all of NASA's modern "neutral buoyancy" laboratories, said John B. Charles, a NASA program scientist and an unofficial collector of the space agency's more obscure history.
"From humble beginnings in the borrowed pool at McDonogh School," he said, "underwater training facilities were eventually built at every major space center in the world, and now exist in the U.S., Russia, Germany, Japan and China."
It's in today's multi-million-gallon NASA pools that astronauts and engineers have created the tools and techniques that enabled astronauts to build the International Space Station and repair the Hubble Space Telescope.
The underwater environment can simulate - with about 70 percent accuracy, some say - both the weightless conditions of space, and, in a much more limited way, lunar gravity, which is just one-sixth that of Earth.
But all that was unknown in the early 1960s when Mattingly and Loats began Environmental Research Associates. Mattingly was trained in business, Loats, who died two years ago, was trained in science. The Randallstown startup was chasing after any research and engineering jobs they could get from NASA, the military or their contractors.
By 1964, their work began to focus on the Gemini program -- the two-man space capsules that preceded the three-man Apollo missions. Gemini astronauts would be the first Americans to step outside their capsules, and NASA needed a tether to secure them and reel them back in. Engineers also had to develop an air lock, through which astronauts could exit and return to their capsule or space station.
"It... became obvious that a pressure-suited man in normal gravity would not be agile enough to crawl through the air lock, so we would have to simulate weightlessness by going under water," Mattingly said in his memoir.
At first, Mattingly and his company experimented in an Air Force swimming pool near the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. But there was a host of problems, including the "constant parade of people through the pool building asking what we were doing and why, and could they help," Mattingly recalled.
So they returned to Randallstown and approached McDonogh about using its pool. Fifteen years earlier, Mattingly had sold water filtration gear to what was then an 800-student private boys' school. "They had the best indoor pool in the area," he recalled, with great filtration and the clear water vital to photography.
He told McDonogh Headmaster Robert L. Lamborn | [

COP28 stands for the 28th year of the “Conference of Parties” to climate change. THIS COP called for a transition away from use of fossil fuels in its final report.
It took 28 YEARS before a climate conference said that burning fossil fuels and allowing the resulting carbon pollution to be dumped into the air was a problem!
What does that tell you?
(Hint: It tells you that fossil fuel companies have been able to use their vast resources to influence and control governments around the world.) | [

Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has outlined the state’s progress in accelerating seven Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) over the last six years.
El-Rufai presented the achievements in Kaduna at the State’s 2022 SDGs Summit 2.0 organised by the SDGs Unit, Planning and Budget Commission.
It was to increase awareness, renew commitment, and mobilise resources to accelerate the achievement of the goals.
He explained that the 17 goals, 169 targets and 232 indicators to be achieved by 2030 applied to countries, Kaduna state is implementing goals 1 to 6 and 16, applicable to it as a sub-national.
The governor said that the state had integrated the SDGs into its development plans to achieve inclusive and sustainable economic growth and social economic transformation.
He said that to track the implementation of the SDGs, the state produced the Kaduna State 2017 SDGs Report which represents its commitment to explicit, measurable, and ambitious targets by 2030.
On Goals 1 and 2—ending hunger and poverty—the governor said that the state focuses on creating jobs by attracting foreign direct investment and other domestic investments.
He said that in the last six years, the state has attracted more than 4.4 billion US dollars in investment and created more than 75,000 direct and indirect jobs.
On goal 3, which seeks to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all ages, the governor said investment in the health sector has improved service delivery and the wellbeing of citizens.
He said that the government expanded and renovated 255 Primary Health Centres, one in each political ward, so that every resident would be within five kilometers to the health center.
He added that a total of six billion naira was spent on equipping the 255 PHCs and additional 45 rural hospitals in 2022.
El-Rufai also said that the government had embarked on massive reforms in the education sector to achieve goal 4 through provision of a conducive teaching and learning environment.
The key reforms he said, included free and compulsory 12 primary and secondary education, recruitment of 25,000 qualified primary school teachers and 9,000 secondary school teachers.
On goal 5—gender equality, El-Rufai said that his administration has the only deputy governor in the entire northern Nigeria and had passed legislation on gender and social inclusion in 2017.
He said nine out of the 17 commissioners in the state were females, while 53 percent of government agencies in Kaduna state were headed by women.
The governor said that the state has also recorded remarkable achievements in goal 6 through its efforts to provide clean water and sanitation.
He said that thousands of communities across Jaba, Giwa and Kaura Local Government Areas of the state have attained open defecation-free status with many other LGAs waiting to be certified by end of the year.
He said that the government has invested heavily on water and sanitation infrastructure, including 111 VIP latrines, 608 hand-washing facilities, 5,910 water points and 600 boreholes between 2018 and 2020.
On goal 16—peace, justice and strong institutions – the governor said that the state had curbed the spread of violence from one community to the entire state through reforms and security infrastructure.
He said that the state created the Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs to coordinate internal security matters and collaborate with federal security agencies, with significant results.
He added that his administration also established the Kaduna State Peace Commission to engage communities in peacebuilding, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence. P.M NEWS | [

Use our Grass Seed Calculator to find out how much seed to buy, and the best grass for your region.
Drought takes a serious toll on your lawn, but you can bring the green back to your landscape. Discover what you can do when you need to recover from a drought. Find answers to some of the most common questions about drought recovery and your lawn.
Is there a specific type of fertilizer I should use to help speed up recovery?
There are different types of fertilizers on the market. For the best recovery from drought and the stress of summer, put down a fertilizer that has balanced nutrition in proportion to what the plant needs. Remember, when using fertilizer or other lawn care products, always follow package directions regarding proper clothing, protective equipment, application procedures and safety precautions.
What can I do to save my lawn?
Don't give up! Grass is amazingly resilient. When your lawn is stressed by heat and lack of water, it uses more nutrients than normal, often giving it a yellow, thin appearance. It's essential to feed your lawn with a fertilizer designed to help it recover from heat and drought.
Won't fertilizer burn my lawn?
This is a common question and is frequently asked because a lot of fertilizers used in the past could potentially burn your lawn if applied without water or when temperatures where high. Quality fertilizers applied properly won't burn your lawn.
Why shouldn't I just wait until the drought is over to worry about my lawn?
Waiting until the drought is over seems like a good option. But if you can still irrigate your lawn, getting it on the path to recovery now is an important step. If your lawn continues to use up what's left of its nutrients, the damage will continue to get worse and could lead to more work in the long run. Don't wait until it's too late and you have to sod, plug or seed your entire lawn next year. Feed your lawn now to help it recover.
Isn't watering enough to save my lawn?
Watering your lawn deeply and infrequently is one of the most essential things you can do to help it to survive the drought. However, just like people need food to grow and have energy, so does your lawn. Feed your lawn with a lawn fertilizer to make the most of your watering and provide the essential nutrients to help your lawn stay dense, green and able to withstand most of what Mother Nature will throw at it. Apply a fertilizer to help your lawn recover from the drought and come back strong next spring.
Isn't spring the best time to feed my lawn? Shouldn't I wait until then?
Spring is a great time to feed your lawn, but fall is even better. Fall is actually one of the most beneficial times to feed your lawn because it’s when grass stores nutrients in preparation for winter. If you haven't fed your lawn since spring, it may be depleted of essential nutrients after the stress of summer. So feed it this fall to help replenish all the essential nutrients your lawn used up this summer trying to survive the drought.
How do I know if my grass is dead or dormant?
Most grasses can go dormant for extended periods of time in order to survive when it gets extremely hot and dry. However, some grasses do it better than others. For the most part, if you've been irrigating your lawn at least every other week throughout the drought, there's a good chance that it will survive. But if your lawn is extremely thin, and has no green material left, it may be past the point of no return. Reestablishing your lawn early this fall may be a good option.
Are there grass types that better tolerate drought?
Yes, certain grasses are better at tolerating drought. There are two types of grasses, warm-season (St. Augustine, Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede, Buffalo and Bahia) and cool-season (Tall Fescue, Fine Fescue, Bluegrass, Ryegrass). In the southern part of the United States, warm-season grasses are going to tolerate drought and heat better than cool-season grasses. But certain warm-season grasses do better depending on the conditions. St. Augustine does the best if an area is highly shaded, while Bermuda and Buffalo grasses do very well in the full sun. It's important to assess the area where the grasses will be growing to decide which type is the most appropriate for your lawn.
How much should I be watering my lawn?
During the heat of the summer, the average warm-season grass needs approximately 1 inch of water a week applied through irrigation. If it rains, then reduce the amount of irrigation applied accordingly. As the seasons change and it becomes cooler, your lawn uses less water, so apply less. Run your sprinklers for a shorter time or space out the days between watering your lawn | [

We must speak up about abuse
In the last couple of days the phrase #MeToo has flooded social media with men and women speaking out against the sexual abuse they’ve suffered. It’s been both inspiring and saddening to see how many people have experienced sexual abuse in some form.
Which is why I was so incredibly angry when I saw some advertising a t-shirt on Facebook that said, “wooden spoon survivor.” The shirt is meant to be a joke that even though their parents “disciplined” them with a wooden spoon they still turned out ok. Any discipline that involves physical, emotional, or mental harm isn’t discipline, it’s abuse. And to call it anything other than that is downright wrong.We must speak up about child abuse.
Through my associations at work, I hear the stories of the children who have been so incredibly abused—sexually, physically, mentally, emotionally that they struggle to be part of society. As a result they struggle to control their emotions, they believe they have no self worth, they have a hard time believing that everybody isn’t out to get them, they wonder why people who love them do this to them, and they have difficulty forming meaningful relationships. But, the worst is they struggle with knowing that abusing others—verbally, physically, mentally, sexually—isn’t ok because that’s all they known.
It takes a lot of work for children to overcome the effects of abuse. While some can, many can not. And when children suffer, society suffers too.
The 2014 ODI commissioned a report on the global effects of abuse. The report estimated that cost of abuse of children worldwide could be as high as $7 trillion dollars per year with an estimated 275 million children worldwide experience abuse in their own homes. Think about that. 275 million!
The effects of child abuse are chilling. Children who have experienced domestic abuse are more likely to have higher mortality rates, chronic absenteeism from school, long or short-term disability, increased physical injuries, more mental and health issues, and lack of prospects once leaving childhood. (Read the article here)
When we make light of abuse it becomes harder for someone—especially children—to speak up about the horrors they are experiencing. Children may not be able to speak up, but we as adults must. If you suspect someone, adult or child is being abused, please say something.

I work with many school students of all ages. So many of them are very bright and articulate. Often they have parents who encourage communication, independent thinking, and discussion when there are differences. Young people seem so much more conscious and aware than they were when I was that age. When a young person has an opinion about something, he or she is often quite passionate about it. I see this as a positive sign of the development of an independent mind.
This is, I would hope, precisely what we strive for in our educational system. However, often independent thinking and questioning is shut down. Worse yet, the child may be made to feel like a bad person because of his or her thoughts, or for having expressed them. This may not happen so much if the thoughts expressed are in relation to the subject matter being taught. Undoubtedly there are many fine teachers who challenge students to think for themselves.
Where it does become a problem is if the questioning relates to school policies, or how situations are handled involving students. Understandably, a school must have rules, and for the most part students are expected to follow them. Educators cannot spend hours debating whether the “no chewing gum” rule is a violation of individual rights.
However, situations do occur where a student feels unfairly blamed, or has been treated in a way that feels disrespectful. What recourse do they have? Too often their protestations are viewed as being oppositional, or disrespectful.
Just because they are minors does not mean they should not have a voice. It does not mean that they should be silenced, just because the adults have the power. This is a critical time in their development—a time when they form conclusions about how the world responds to their growing independence and individuality. If they feel wronged, and are shut down, it is no wonder animosity and even hostility begin to bubble under the surface.
Young people look to adults to ensure fairness, safety and security. They want to know that, as individuals, they are valued and cared for. This is especially true in educational settings. Yes, schools are busy places, and curriculum demands are heavy. However, the most important thing young people can learn is that their thoughts, ideas and feelings matter. If we teach them this, it is how they will treat others. This is the only way we can begin to create a better world—and that is surely should be a core goal of anyone involved with youth.

Keep in mind not all industries need large volume
3D Printing will never come close to replacing mass production, but for low volume operations it "can" be more cost effective. And low volume doesn't necessarily mean "niche industry". Aircraft are only produced in lots of hundreds to thousands. If you have a single part that is expensive to manufacture for an aircraft by traditional methods then producing this by 3D Printing might be cheaper. The Space industry is another which can benefit hugely from 3D Printing.
3D print parts can be far more effective/efficient then many traditional parts, because you can build in a single part things which would take multiple parts in traditional manufacturing (think internal cooling channels, etc.). However, the technology is not really there yet except for on a very limited number of parts. The time for production of metallic 3D parts is still too high, and the cost/part analysis really only works on extremely short volume runs at the moment. 3D metallic parts also require significant amounts of post work machining (surface finishes, hole punching, thread tapping, support material removal, etc), so they will never replace the traditional workshop.
Still the metal 3D printing industry does hold some promise, just forget about it for mass production - areas like Space, Aero, Medical and custom engineering jobs can all benefit. Auto and consumer goods - not a chance! | [

What is a Scissor Lift?
A scissor lift is a type of motorized aerial forklift (aka construction lift) that helps workers, such as construction workers, reach elevated heights more safely and easily. Scissor lifts consist of a raised platform that holds workers and their tools and crisscrossed metal support bars, which raise and lower the platform as needed.
Scissor lifts are very sturdy, versatile equipment. Because they can hold weights of up to 2,500 pounds and reach hard-to-reach, elevated heights of up to 60 feet, they are one one of the most commonly used forklifts in the construction industry today.
Where and how are scissor lifts used?
Scissor lifts, like boom lifts, are most commonly used in the construction industry to reach elevated heights. However, they are used in different ways than boom lifts. Scissor lifts can reach a maximum height of around 60 feet while some boom lifts can reach up to 180 feet. Additionally, scissor lifts only move vertically (up and down) while boom lifts’ arms can move horizontally and vertically (up and over). With that being said, if you need to reach heights of up to 60 feet and only need to move upwards, a scissor lift is your best bet in terms of forklift equipment.
Scissor lifts can be operated using either gas or electricity. Take a look at some common industries and applications where scissor aerial lifts are used:
- Outdoor construction sites
- Warehouse (ie. high ceilings and storage)
- Distribution and industrial (ie. deliveries)
- Maintenance (ie. city building maintenance and construction)
- Infrastructure (ie. hanging signs)
- Home renovation and remodeling
- Transportation (ie. trucking, railroad facilities)
- Landscaping (ie. tree trimming)
Types of Scissor Lifts
When exploring different types of scissor lifts, there are two different factors to keep in mind – electric vs. gas-powered lifts and slab vs. rough terrain scissor lifts. Electric vs. gas refers to the scissor lift’s power source – in other words, what fuels the aerial lift and allows it to run. On the other hand, slab vs. rough terrain refers to the work environment where the lift will be used.
Electric vs. Gas Powered
Although most scissor lifts will look very similar, there are two different “engines” they might have – gas or electric. Electric scissor lifts are emission-free and run using a battery. They produce very little noise and are best used for indoor applications or small, narrow spaces
There are also gas-powered scissor lifts, which use an engine that requires diesel gas fuel. As a result, gas-powered scissor lifts do usually emit fumes. However, they typically have heavier duty tires and are better equipped for rugged, wider outdoor areas.
Slab vs. Rough Terrain
You will typically see two different options when it comes to scissor lifts – slab vs. rough terrain. These two options refer to the different terrains or work environments where the forklift will be used.
Slab scissor lifts: Best for indoor jobs or narrow work areas
Slab scissor lifts are designed to function well on slab, flat surfaces, such as concrete or indoor flooring. They are typically electric-powered forklifts and run by using a low emissions battery. While they usually reach lower heights compared to rough terrain lifts (around 45 feet), they tend to be more nimble and versatile. Slab scissor lifts are great for maneuverability and narrow, tight workspaces. You might find a slab scissor lift used in a parking garage, narrow urban area, or retail setting.
Rough terrain scissor lifts: Best for outdoor construction and maintenance
These forklifts are designed to function efficiently on rugged or uneven outdoor terrains, such as gravel or rock. Most rough terrain lifts are diesel gas-powered and equipped with heavy duty tires, four-wheel drive and traction control. They also are better suited to larger or wider work spaces compared to slab lifts, and usually have work platforms with higher weight capacities (1,000-2,500 lbs).
Dimensions and Capacities
When looking for a scissor lift suited to your project’s needs, it’s important to pay close attention to the dimensions and capacities. This includes the foirklift’s maximum reachable height, platform weight capacity, and workspace width.
Scissor lifts will vary depending on the manufacturer and type of scissor lift. Remember that gas-powered and rough terrain scissor lifts usually reach higher elevations and can hold heavier weight on their work platforms. Electric and slab scissor lifts may have relatively lower weight and height capacities.

The DeepWater-class light freighter was a Mon Calamari Shipyards transport design.
Like all Mon Calamari designs, each DeepWater freighter was slightly different. The DeepWater-class freighter measured 45 meters in length and could transport up to six passengers and 85 metric tons of cargo. It was armed with a dual laser cannon in its stock configuration.
As was typical of Mon Calamari design philosophy, the DeepWater-class had a sturdy hull, strong shields, and a backup shield generator. For space travel, it was also equipped with a hyperdrive generator. Being designed on a water world, it was also capable of operating as a submarine. | [

Nanoplasmonic colloidal suspensions for the enhancement of the luminescent emission from single-walled carbon nanotubes
carbon nanotubes, luminescence enhancement, gold nanorods, nanoplasmonic colloids, hybrid structures
ABSTRACT Aiming to enhance the luminescence yield of carbon nanotubes, we introduce a new class of hybrid nanoplasmonic colloidal systems (π-hybrids). Nanotubes dispersed in gold nanorod colloidal suspensions yield hybrid structures exhibiting enhanced luminescence up to a factor of 20. The novelty of the proposed enhancement mechanism relies on including metal proximity effects in addition to its localized surface plasmons. This simple, robust and flexible technique enhances the luminescence of nanotubes with chiralities whose enhancement has never reported before, for example the (8,4) tube.

At Dr. Marta Recasens’ MediSpa in Glendale, we understand that undergoing a Juvederm® Ultra Plus procedure is an investment in yourself. It’s not just about enhancing your appearance; it’s about boosting your confidence and embracing a more youthful version of yourself. To ensure you get the most out of this treatment, proper post-procedure care is crucial. Here, we’ll guide you through the essential steps to maximize the effectiveness of your treatment, maintaining that natural-looking beauty and ensuring long-lasting results.
Juvederm® Ultra Plus stands as a skin plumper, chiefly targeting creases and enhancing fullness near the mouth and nose. It’s known for its ability to create natural-looking results, smoothing out skin problems and restoring a youthful complexion.
The first 24 hours following your treatment are critical in ensuring optimal results:
– Avoid Touching the Treated Area: It’s important to let the filler settle into place. Refrain from touching or applying pressure to the areas treated to ensure the filler remains undisturbed.
– Stay Upright: For the first few hours post-treatment, try to remain in an upright position. Lying down or bending over can increase swelling.
– Skip Strenuous Activities: High-impact activities can increase blood flow to the face, leading to swelling. Take it easy for a day or two.
Some swelling and bruising are normal and can vary from person to person:
– Cold Compresses: Gently applying a cold compress to the area can help reduce swelling. Avoid direct pressure on the treated zones.
– Arnica Montana: This natural supplement can be helpful in reducing bruising and swelling. It’s available at most health food stores.
Maximizing the longevity of your Juvederm® Ultra Plus treatment involves a few key lifestyle adjustments and skincare routines:
– Sun Protection: Prolonged sun exposure can degrade the filler and exacerbate skin problems. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
– Stay Hydrated: Keeping your skin hydrated helps maintain the filler’s effect. Drink plenty of water and use a good moisturizer.
– Sustaining a Vibrant Lifestyle: Adopting a diet rich in nutrients, engaging in regular exercise, and avoiding tobacco can significantly improve the health and appearance of your skin.
Regular check-ins at your medical spa in Glendale are important to assess the results and plan any touch-ups if necessary. These appointments allow us to ensure that your results are progressing as expected.
If you have other skin concerns like skin tag removal in Glendale or wish to explore additional treatments like SculpSure, it’s best to discuss these with us during your follow-up visits. We can advise on the best course of action, considering your recent Juvederm® Ultra Plus treatment.
Investing in high-quality skincare products can significantly enhance the results of your treatment. Products rich in hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants can support the filler’s efficacy and improve skin texture.
While Juvederm® Ultra Plus provides immediate results, the final outcome will be visible once any swelling has subsided. It’s important to have realistic expectations and understand that results vary between individuals.
If you experience any unusual symptoms, such as prolonged swelling, severe bruising, or signs of an allergic reaction, contact Dr. Marta Recasens’ MediSpa immediately. Prompt medical attention is key to addressing any potential issues.
The journey to enhancing your beauty with Juvederm® Ultra Plus doesn’t end with the procedure itself. By following these post-treatment care tips, you can ensure the best possible results. At Dr. Marta Recasens’ MediSpa in Glendale, our focus is on assisting you in achieving and preserving a youthful, authentic look. The effectiveness of your treatment is greatly enhanced by thorough aftercare and a dedication to a constructive skincare regimen. Your journey to a more youthful you is in your hands, and we are here to guide you every step of the way. | [

As I’m sitting at home writing this column, a terrier snores on the ottoman next to me and the heady fragrance of lilacs fills the air. When the “Sensation” lilac burst into bloom this week, I couldn’t resist bringing in a vase of fresh blooms. I planted the French hybrid 10 years ago this spring, and the large and showy purple blooms trimmed in crisp white never fail to impress.
A garden exists in many layers — the ground underfoot, the seeds, seedlings and plants we sink into the ground, and the visual impact when plants begin bearing vegetables, fruits and flowers. But a garden isn’t just what you see; it’s also what you can smell. Spring is the most fragrant season – lilacs, peonies, viburnums, flower crab apples, even the smell of soil as you dig — it’s all intoxicating.
Lilacs stir the soul. I have several old lilac bushes — a white one and a pink French hybrid — whose names are lost to time. In addition to “Sensation,” a dark purple “Bloomerang” blooms heavily for weeks. Throughout summer and fall, I’ll spy occasional blooms on its branches.
Last year, I added a new lilac to the family, the recently introduced “Bloomerang” dwarf pink lilac. This petite lilac is supposed to be vigorous, sporting pure pink blooms and about 1/3 the size of a conventional lilac.
Lilacs have been cultivated for more than 300 years, and there are roughly 1,000 syringa varieties, including tree, bush and dwarf forms. Only a few are commonly available, and most are hard as nails and long-lived.
Dwarf lilacs allow gardeners to put lilacs in small and tight spaces. While conventional lilacs can tower up to 15 feet, dwarfs are compact and mounded, reaching 48 to 60 inches in full sun and well-drained soil. The plants are hardy, and reblooming is encouraged by snipping off spent blooms.
All lilacs can benefit from occasional feeding. If lilacs are near or in the lawn, don’t get nitrogen-rich lawn fertilizer too close, or you’ll have foliage but few flowers.
Remove spent blooms, but don’t trim or prune any lilac after July 4, or you’ll be removing next year’s blooms. After blooming, remove small suckers and shoots at ground level, but leave behind a few healthy, strong shoots.
Other varieties to check out include “Scentura Pura” and “Scentura Double Blue,” both hyacinthiflora lilacs, the most fragrant lilacs on the market (“hyacinth” in the name is a good clue), pink “Scent and Sensibility,” “Pink Perfume Bloomerang,” pure white “Betsy Ross” and the beautiful wine-red “Charles Joly.” | [

Quick History Of Computer Icons
By studying the history of computer icons, we can further understand current aesthetics and
More often graphic designers prefer graphic pen over mouse for whatever reasons – artistic adventure, versatility, ease of use and pure angst. Nevertheless, graphic pen is one of the major graphic arsenal of Graphic Illustrators most specially for designing comic characters, animated characters and digital paintings.
As to what pen defines you as an artist differs at some point, considering different pens exudes varied outcome. Before we dive down into choosing our Top 10 Best Bet for graphic pens this 2019, you may want to take note these preliminary features in choosing graphic pen for yourself.
1. Work Area. This pertains to the area of the tablet where your pen takes effect. The bigger the area the bigger the entire unit will be. You might want to consider having a modest size if your work needs much zooming and dragging. However, size is not much of a deal if your doing basic lightweight illustration, the unit can adjust.
2. Underlying Features. Added operational mileage are also things to consider such as accessibilities, hotkeys, multi-touch and 4K monitor support. One feature you might want to consider are the hotkeys. This is easy and handy as your other hand is alienated from the usual mouse function.
3. Stylus. Do a dry run before buying your graphic tablet. See for yourself if you prefer to use a thick pointed stylus or the ones with then points. Usually, there are two types of stylus, the ones that are battery operated and the ones that uses EMR (Electromagnetic Resonance).
4. On-Screen or Flat Models. Although choosing the one over the other might be of two worlds apart when it comes to user experience, you have to consider your design options. If you tend to be mobile, you might opt for an on-screen pen tablet such as the iPad. If your stationary all the time, you might need only the flat ones that needs monitor. Or better yet, both.
5. Resolution. Resolution matters for designers and illustrators of large-scale projects. You need to consider LPI (Lines Per Inch) for you pen tab when choosing your unit. The higher the resolution, such as 4K monitor compatibility, the brighter and crispier the images produced by your artwork.
6. Built-in Scrollers. Monitors and graphic pen tablets are two worlds apart. Scrolling using your tablet versus a mouse might be of different experience, so you might want to consider this functionality before buying one.
7. Wired or Wireless. These two forms has advantages and disadvantages of themselves. Wired being stable because it is being hotwired to your monitor, so no fear of signal lag and interference. Wireless on the other hand, gives you the luxury of mobility, but lag and signal interference will sometimes gets into the nerve of your projects. No worries, this is more likely not to happen than it would.
And for the main dish, The Top 10 Graphic Pen and Tabs for Graphic Designers:
Wacom Pro Pen 2 and Wacom Cintiq 15.6” display work together to make your creative session productive and comfortable. The screen has an anti-glare film, preventing any distracting reflections. The full HD display provides great clarity, so you can see every detail on screen. The reduced parallax also gives you full control, so your cursor is precisely where you want it. All this combines to make drawing on Wacom Cintiq feel as natural as drawing on paper. (Wacom)
You can easily connect your phone to H610PRO V2 with the OTG connector; only mobile phone and tablet powered by Android 6.0 or above are supported. H610 Pro had been Huion’s best seller since its first release, now we have brought you the V2 version which has upgraded feature in many ways! Equipped with the tilt function, the pen supports ±60 levels tilt recognition, performing like traditional brushes. You can enjoy a real feeling of writing and painting.
The new pen itself has a silicone grip, which makes it sit comfortably in your hand, and its nib is very durable. The cover on the tablet used a top-graded material, which provides a smooth paper-like texture while stays anti-scratching. (Huion)
Battery-Free pen,you don’t need to worry about the power capacity, or battery leakage cause pen malfunction. Without a battery did reduce the weight of graphic pen, the light weight gives more comfort and handy nature feel during your designing work or art works. High Viewing Angle, Horizontal 170°and Vertical 170° Viewing Angle allow you to see the screen in a very comfortable way, you can put the monitor in everywhere and still easy to get clear view.

Solo Crystal Oval 8 consists of four 11-gauge continuous cast copper (solo crystal copper) conductors used in Analysis Plus’s proprietary braided hollow oval geometry.
This is the shotgun (two wires per connector) configuration. When the two wires are combined in the shotgun mode, it is equivalent to an 8-gauge conductor.
Especially when combined with the Solo Crystal Oval interconnects, this raises the bar of mid-range cables across the whole industry.

We know your time and resources are valuable, which is where we can help. We have deep knowledge of the industry and products, and are personally dedicated to finding and selling only the highest quality hemp-derived CBD oil products. Our founders Annie Rouse and Jason Amatucci have worked in the hemp industry for over a decade. They actively write legislation, consult with manufacturers, and educate the general public on the benefits of hemp for public health and the economy.
Of course, because legal marijuana is in such a confusing transitional period, even here there are potential exceptions. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Epidiolex, a treatment for a rare form of pediatric epilepsy that contains CBD. The DEA decided to classify this as a Schedule 5 drug, the scheduling that indicates the lowest potential for addiction and abuse.
CBD is suddenly everywhere — and it’s not hard to see why. It won’t get you high, has a good safety profile, and naturally treats dozens of conditions. But there’s a dizzying amount of choice out there, so we’ve ranked the 25 best CBD oils to help you get started. Whether you’re a rank beginner, or you’ve been experimenting with CBD for a while, we’ve got you covered.
CBD Oil can also contain ZERO amount of THC. If this were coffee, it’s all in the grind. It still is, figuratively, for hemp CBD oil. We developed a product from listening to our customers that needed 100% certainty their oil didn’t contain trace amounts of THC. Like who? First responders, athletes, military personnel, or anyone that wants 100% confidence they’re consuming only CBD. Read more about it here.
Hemp Bombs is based in Tampa, Florida, and in addition to focusing on the purity and therapeutic effectiveness of their products, are dedicated to establishing themselves as a top brand in the industry with a specific target audience. One of our personal favorite products of theirs is the flavored CBD vape liquids, which are some of the best-tasting CBD vape juices we’ve ever had.
There has been a raised concern of the effects and hidden dangers of inhaling the chemical propylene glycol, which is widely used to mix with CBD vape oil. Propylene glycol is a thinning compound and is also the primary ingredient in a majority of nicotine-infused e-cigarette solutions. At high temperatures, propylene glycol converts into toxic nanoparticles which are known for causing damage to respiratory organs and said to cause cancer, asthma, and other illnesses.
NuRyse Hemp Oil Extract 1000mg may not be a full spectrum hemp oil, but over 100 consumers of the product have ranked it a nearly 5-star product on Amazon for its health-related benefits. While many users state that benefits were felt after a short week of use, some consumers state they have felt little to no effects following prolonged use. Even so, the vast majority of reviews cite excellent experiences in the management of many different symptoms.
When you hear the term CBD Oil or CBD, it means Cannabidiol. Cannabidiol is one of the active ingredients found in the cannabis (marijuana) plant. But CBD comes from industrial hemp as well – a cousin to the marijuana plant. Tetrahydrocannabidoil (THC) is the psychoactive element of marijuana that gives the ‘high’. CBD, because it is from industrial hemp, has very low levels of THC – it won’t make you ‘high’. Industrial hemp is a fibrous plant – they make rope out of it. THC is formed in the buds of the marijuana plant – but industrial hemp is cultivated without allowing the plant to bud. That’s why it has less than 10 percent of the THC as marijuana, and The World Health Organization has stated that no indications of abuse or dependency issues have been found in humans.
As illustrated above, Hemp Oil Drops comes with many benefits, unlike other oils. It has managed to rank on top as the best CBD oil in the market for pain, anxiety, and the entire wellbeing of the body. The fact that almost everyone can afford it makes it accessible to many people. The hemp oil is Colorado certified, guaranteeing safety and quality. If you are looking for a reliable CBD oil, you might need to try out Hemp Oil Drops.
Roger, I’m not 100% certain on this, but I’m pretty confident that the difference here (and what makes it legal for people to sell it on Amazon) is that they are ONLY selling Hemp derived CBD vs. Cannabis derived CBD. Hence the “hemp extract” which is why the Farm Bill passing was such a big deal. As far as I’m aware, you can get CBD from both cannabis and hemp, but the hemp is legal federally. The bigger problem that I see is how misleading all of the amazon products are though because | [

Does My Dog Need A Sweater in the Winter?
During the worst of the winter months, you’ll find the majority of people bundled up. People don’t hesitate to wear insulated gloves, thermal hats, heavy winter coats, and durable boots when it’s freezing and snowing outside. What about dogs? Do you need to invest in buying your dog a sweater? If you’re unsure whether your dog should be wearing a sweater while he or she is outside, you aren’t alone.
Dressing Your Dog for the Winter
There is no harm in dressing your dog in a sweater or coat during the chillier months of the year. If your dog has thin fur or has patches of missing fur, it’s a great idea to try putting your dog in some sort of sweater or coat. Both your local Target and pet store should have a variety of different sizes, styles, and colors of doggie coats and sweaters.
Make sure your dog is comfortable in the sweater or coat you put on him or her before sending your dog out into the cold weather. While picking out a sweater or coat for your dog, the color and design should be the least important factor. It should fit your dog well and allow for using the restroom. It should also be high quality and durable.
If your dog clearly doesn’t enjoy wearing clothing in the winter, it may just be best to let it go. As long as your dog isn’t outside in extremely freezing temperatures and brutal conditions for days at a time, there is no real need for your dog to be dressed in any clothing. To be blunt, your dog does not absolutely need a winter coat or sweater, but they aren’t a bad idea either. Your dog should always be comfortable, and some dogs are simply more comfortable without any fabrics touching their fur. | [

THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY has taken the top place on the podium in a new analysis by the Climate Council tracking state and territory progress towards clean transport. In the past decade, the ACT has reduced its overall transport emissions by 7 percent.
Rankings – Most to Least Progress1
1. ACT (Clean All-Rounder award)
2. NSW (Public Transport Powerhouse award)
3. Equal third place TAS (Emissions Slasher award) and VIC (People Powered award)
5. SA (Charging Ahead award)
6. QLD (Fleet Footed award)
7. WA (High Hurdler award)
8. NT (Active Mover award)
Transport emissions per person, as tCO2e (Tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent):
1. ACT – 1.65
2, TAS – 1.69
3. NSW – 1.85
4. VIC – 1.89
5. SA – 2.00
6. NT – 2.30
7. QLD – 2.31
8. WA – 2.43
How ACT scores:
Transport emissions per person (tCO2e)2: 1.65
Leading: Zero emissions transport plan and more
The ACT has ranked top of the list because of its efforts to electrify private and public vehicle fleets, progress on reducing transport emissions and holistic planning for boosting public transport, walking and cycling.
The Climate Council also applauds the ACT’s recent commitment to phase out fossil fuel-powered cars from 2035 – an Australian-first.
Climate Council Head of Advocacy Dr Jennifer Rayner said: “The ACT is leading by example in the switch to cleaner transport and the rest of the country should follow suit.
“Cleaning up transport is a huge priority as we work towards getting emissions plummeting this decade. What’s at stake here isn’t just a race between Australia’s states and territories, it’s a race against the devastating effects of fossil fuel emissions on our climate. It’s great to see the ACT out in front and leading the way.
“Australians want clean transport options that are accessible, reliable and better for our hip pockets and climate.
“This includes well-connected networks of footpaths and bike lanes, zero emissions public transport and affordable electric vehicles. State and Territory governments are putting their wheels in motion but our analysis shows they really need to hit the accelerator.”
The Climate Council’s People and Transport National Poll 2022 backs this up, finding
The majority (80%) of Australians believe governments should invest more in public transport
Almost three quarters (70%) are keen to see Australia’s entire bus fleet electrified and run on renewables as soon as possible.
More than two-thirds (over 67%) of Australians think governments should invest more in footpaths and bike lanes across the country.
Climate Councillor, energy expert and former President of BP Australasia, Greg Bourne said: “Transport is one of Australia’s fastest growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions, and the sector is our third biggest source of climate pollution.
“There has been a lot of focus on electric vehicles recently, but we won’t achieve our climate targets or address broader challenges within the transport sector purely by replacing dirty petrol cars with electric ones.
“Investment in clean public transport and making our towns and cities pedestrian and bicycle-friendly must also be part of the solution. This will deliver huge benefits for our health, hip pockets and the liveability of our communities – as well as being better for the climate.
“States and territories must step up on clean transport policies to help Australians free themselves from expensive, polluting fossil fuels.” | [

After measuring gait differences before and after gait training with four types of prosthetic feet, a research team led by Vibhor Agrawal, PhD, ATP, assistant professor in the Department of Physical Therapy in the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Florida, concluded that improved gait symmetry is possible for K2 amputees who are trained to use K3 prosthetic feet designs.
The study, “Influence of Gait Training and Prosthetic Foot Category on External Work Symmetry during Unilateral Transtibial Amputee Gait,” was published online on January 30 in the journal Prosthetics and Orthotics International.
The researchers evaluated five subjects with K2-level unilateral transtibial amputations and five subjects with K3-level unilateral transtibial amputations to determine the influence of gait training on kinetics, the physical work required to walk with a prosthesis, and the level of gait symmetry between each participant’s sound-side leg and his or her amputated leg.
The researchers evaluated the influence of gait training with four categories of prosthetic feet: K1, K2, K3, and a microprocessor ankle/foot. The subjects were tested using their existing prosthesis during the first session and again after two weeks of standardized gait training. In sessions three through six, the participants were tested using a study socket and one of four randomized test feet. There was an accommodation period of ten to 14 days with each foot. Kinetic gait differences between prosthetic feet were calculated at each session to determine the gait symmetry at self-selected walking speeds.
The researchers concluded that gait training can improve gait dynamics and that K2 amputees can achieve greater work symmetry with a K3 foot with a J-shaped ankle and heel-to-toe footplate, potentially impacting prosthetic care and foot prescription by clinicians and reimbursement guidelines by third-party healthcare payers. | [

Recently I was running out of solder paste and I’ve bought some chinese paste to try out from a (very) popular online electronics outlet. I think somewhere in the reviews or in one of the tutorials they say they actually use that paste internally so I got confident and the price was right (I guess… even though I later found the same paste on dx.com for under $5), about $14 for a jar of 50g which would last a long time. Great I thought, I’d get it in time to assemble more boards, without the insane shipping delays from china, so I ordered and got peace of mind.
A few days later I got it and I assembled a batch of boards with it and peeked through the microscope to inspect how it reflowed. Here’s what I saw:
Holy cow! What happened? Tons of tiny balls of solder stuck in tons of solder paste residue. Not one of my best days, but certainly memorable.
It was going to be a lot of work to fix these boards. I was certain the chinese solder paste was at fault and instantly decided I won’t trust chinese paste again for such a critical assembly step. First of all the massive amounts of flux residue was shocking, that alone speaks of how cheap this paste is. Then massive amounts of solder balls, that indicates very poor flux properties that prevented the solder to reflow properly. I haven’t done anything different as far as reflowing, but the results were horrendous. I’ve even reflowed by hand with the hot air gun, and results are very good usually. Not with this paste. The solder melted but I suspect the flux was so bad quality that it stopped the solder balls from reflowing together, instead causing small balls to form everywhere. It could also be that the flux is very old, I don’t know for sure. Here’s a mugshot of the offending paste:
I got busy fixing that batch and realized that simply touching up with the soldering iron wasn’t enough. That flux would simply not evaporate nor help the small solder balls to reflow into the larger solder joints nearby. I had to scrape away the residue and then rework every joint with the soldering iron. You cannot see this with the naked eye, so if you’re using this brand of paste you might think it’s okay but it’s not. Another lesson learned…
I got some US branded paste that is much higher quality, and is not much more expensive. Kester paste is really nice, I used their leaded paste and it works very well, almost no residue to clean up and no orphaned tiny balls of solder mess. Someone recommended ChipQuik paste so I got some from techni-tool to try out. I really like this one, it’s no-lead no-clean and reflows at about 190-200 degrees celsius. Here’s some yield from this paste:
Big difference eh?
The US branded paste usually comes in small syringe like tubes (10cc) which are in the $20-30 range, or very large 500g jars or tubes that cost up to $100 or more per jar. I only need a small tube every few months, so to make the best of this deal I just threw away the bad paste and emptied the good paste from its tube into the left over jar, this way I can easily apply the paste with a credit card and recycle it (even though they don’t recommend mixing used and unused paste, I don’t really see any quality degradation).
Did I say I threw away the chinese paste? Well sort of. Destroying it first and having some fun while doing it sounds better. Here’s a paste burning experiment, I think it’s obvious which paste reflows better, with less residue, and without tiny solder balls left behind: | [

Hello there and thanks for stopping by today. I’m making my way around the southwest United States, kicking of a camping adventure in Big Lagoon State Park (recap here) and the next stop is Fontainebleau State Park, across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans. A lot went into picking this campground because my original reservation was for Grand Isle State Park (also in Louisiana)… but that one got cancelled because they’re working on restoration after Hurricane Ida. It’s a little weird because I was able to make the reservation months ago but maybe they got behind schedule. It happens! I scrambled a bit to fill in the new 4-day gap caused by the cancellation. The campground amenities I look for are bodies of water, hiking, and good photography locations. There are a few state parks in the general New Orleans area but FSP stood out for it’s access to water (lake/ocean) and photography potential, so I booked it.
I’d love to say I took advantage of everything I could’ve, but I don’t think I did. Careful to stay away from people, I rested (but still rode my bike and walked the dogs… and took photos, of course!) as much as possible because of a second case of COVID. The first time I had COVID is chronicled here. I still had enough energy to bike around, swim in the lake, and take the dogs out to do their business. I didn’t do any running, which I would’ve done if I wasn’t worried about wearing myself down unnecessarily.
Overall, though, I liked the park. I’m not sure I loved it. There were mosquitoes, love bugs (if you’re from the south, you know what these are), and lots of standing water. I guess that’s to be expected in the Louisiana low country. I didn’t even get my kayak off the roof of my truck, either.
On the upside, I found two bucks on the ground. Deer, that is! The male deers were certainly chasing after a doe that was nearby. The doe was on one side of the road, the bucks on the other and when I rode my bike between them, the bucks were probably ticked off that I interrupted the smooth game they had going on with the lady. She didn’t seem to mind me crashing the party though, as she took the opportunity to run away.
I didn’t have my camera for that encounter but here are a few photos of my time in the park…
Thanks for dropping in…

The Annaberg Plantation is one of several St. John's plantations owned in the 1720s and 1730s by Frederick Moth, the first Danish Governor of St.Croix and, later, the Governor General of the Danish West Indies. By the early 19th century, Annaberg, one of St. John's biggest sugar producers, also produced molasses and rum for export. The historic district's extensive ruins include a windmill tower, factory, slave quarters and other structures associated with sugar production.
The Annaberg Historic District, administered by Virgin Islands National Park, is located east of Mary Point accessible by the North Shore and Leinster Bay rds. on St. John's north shore, U.S. Virgin Islands. The Cruz Bay Visitor Center is open 8:00am to 4:30pm daily; closed Christmas Day. Regular ranger-led tours of the plantation are available; there is a fee for adults. Call 340-776-6201 ext. 238 or visit the park's website for further information. Annaberg Historic District has also been documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey. | [

My friends and I teamed up with Photo Art Pro to spread analog love to the Zaporozhye community. Last month, we hosted a Yeti Scavenger Hunt and had a LomoKino camera as prize. We challenged participants to shoot a roll of film based on a checklist. It was tremendous fun!
Most of the community's activities and discussions center on photographs. All throughout 2015, we were treated to hundreds of thousands of wonderful images. We'd like to thank everyone who graciously uploaded and shared their snapshots with the community! These dedicated lomographers, however, deserve special recognition for setting these skyrocketing numbers. Meet our top photo uploaders of 2015.
Some people say instant photos bring about a feeling of nostalgia. Although I often use the Lomo'Instant Camera with different crazy accessories such as the Splitzer and color gels, I have to agree there is something about it — dreamy vignettes maybe? — that always makes me want to go back in time and experience it all over again. In the name of analogue photography and good old memories, we passed by some classic spots in Vienna and took one shot after the other. Take a closer look at our gallery.
Done shooting and want your films to be processed? We can process your colour and black & white 35mm, 120 or 110 films! Development, prints and scans are also included. (Service availability depends on your markets)
Auckland-based photographer Richard Wong dabbles in everything from wedding photography to street photography, even Lego photography! In the midst of his busy schedule as photographer, camera reviewer and father, he sat down to speak with us about how he uses the Petzval 58 Bokeh Control Art Lens in his diverse practice.
Born and raised in Montreal, Nathalie Daoust is a Canadian photographer who uses her camera to explore hidden realms around escapism and female sexuality. Her projects have taken her to obscure places all across the world, from the US to Brazil, from Japan to China and currently to North Korea. | [

Thermaltake Soprano Dx CaseFormer staff writer -
Price: $115.99 USD
» Discuss this article (4)
Do you consider yourself a PC enthusiast? Do you take pride in building your own rig and making it look as good as possible? Many of the boutique shops have been making unique style cases for a while now. Most of these are of a color other than the beige of the first PCs. I think these PC cases are a whole lot nicer looking and many come with a window on the side. Through this window you can view all your precious hardware within the case. This becomes even more important to the enthusiasts who have the UV sensitive motherboards and exotic cooling methods on their CPUs. Today I will be taking a look at a case made by Thermaltake Technology, the Soprano DX. With its 140mm front and 120mm rear fans, e-SATA connector, windowed side panel, and sexy lines, this looks to be an outstanding product from Thermaltake. I am anxious to see more of this case. Let us take a look together.
Thermaltake Technology was founded in 1999. When users are thinking about thermal management for their PC (CPU coolers), the user should be thinking Thermaltake as it is the world leader in supplying these solutions. Thermaltake also makes high-end power supplies and thermally efficient chassis. The company is headquartered in Taiwan, but has branches in China, Europe, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Brazil, and in Los Angeles, California.
The package that this case came in was a heavy cardboard box. It had pictures on it showcasing the case, along with descriptions of a bunch of its features. This was the actual shipping box. It seems like Thermaltake wants to do some advertising while the case is in transit, which I think is pretty smart of them.
On one side there was a list of specifications and the top of the box had a handle incorporated into it. It was a nice feature as this was a pretty heavy box.
When I opened the box, I saw that the case inside was well protected. There were Styrofoam protective caps on either end of the case, as well as it being covered with a protective bag. The bag was made of some sort of fabric material. I can’t describe it, but it was clearly designed to protect the mirror finish of the case. | [

Torrential rain, hailstorms and floods in the Alpine region and northwest Europe: the past few weeks have highlighted the impacts of severe thunderstorms. But how exactly are extreme weather events connected to global warming? This is one of the central questions for researchers studying and modelling the interaction between weather and climate.
By representing the underlying fundamental physical processes, models are a very powerful tool to understand these interactions. But current models and the required computer infrastructure have reached a wall, limiting the extent to which researchers can draw conclusions about how, for example, climate change affects extreme weather. To overcome this issue, ETH Zurich has teamed up with partners to launch the EXCLAIM research initiative. This project aims to dramatically increase the spatial resolution of the models, thereby enhancing their accuracy in simulating the weather on a global scale in a future, warmer world.
Seamless weather simulations in climate models
“Thanks to their high resolution, the new, global models will simulate key processes such as storms and weather systems in much more detail than before, allowing us to study the interaction of climate change and weather events much more accurately,” says Nicolas Gruber, EXCLAIM lead PI and Professor of Environmental Physics.
EXCLAIM is interdisciplinary: along with the climate researchers from the ETH Center for Climate Systems Modeling (C2SM), ETH computer scientists, the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS), the Swiss Data Science Center (SDSC), the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Empa) and MeteoSwiss, the Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology, are all involved in the project. Not only will this collaboration improve the modelling of climate, it will also make the weather forecasts provided by MeteoSwiss more reliable. International project partners include Germany’s National Meteorological Service, Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD), and the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M), which together developed the ICON (Icosahedral Nonhydrostatic) Model – the basis of EXCLAIM – as well as the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), of which Switzerland is a full member.
With EXCLAIM, researchers are aiming to radically scale up the spatial resolution of the weather and climate models. To simulate global weather and climate with all its regional detail, such models place a virtual, three-dimensional grid over the Earth. Researchers then use the laws of physics to calculate the respective climate conditions for each cell in their models. Current global climate models typically have grid cells with a width of 50 to 100 kilometres. In the long run, EXCLAIM researchers aim to increase the resolution to just one kilometre.
In the past, given the limited computing power of modern supercomputers, only regional weather could be simulated with such a fine grid – and for relatively short periods of time at most. With the new models, the researchers now hope to attain this fine resolution worldwide, enabling them to simulate weather patterns from a global climate perspective and with a much sharper focus. This is like giving global climate models an additional zoom function for small-scale events. “What’s more, the new models will pave the way for ‘forecasting’ weather in the future climate, providing the answers as to how extreme weather events like the torrential rain we experienced this summer might look in the future,” says Christof Appenzeller, Head of Analysis and Forecasting at MeteoSwiss.
Powerful infrastructure for climate simulations
Customised computer infrastructure is essential to get the best out of the new models. Weather and climate models are some of the most complex, most data-intensive computational problems there are, which is why the EXCLAIM models are being developed in parallel with the hardware and software for supercomputers. “The computing and data infrastructure is being tailored to the exact requirements of the weather and climate models,” says Thomas Schulthess, Director of the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) in Lugano. For example, the new “Alps” supercomputing system is configured to allow the high-resolution climate models to properly resolve convective systems, such as thunderstorms.
To effectively simulate weather and climate on a global scale over several decades with a grid width of just a few kilometres, the model will have to run approximately 100 times faster than is currently possible. The first option for achieving this goal is to deploy faster, more powerful computers. Switching from the current supercomputer at CSCS to the “Alps” system will be instrumental in this regard.
One challenge is the end of “Moore’s law”, which holds that processor performance doubles approximately every 20 months. “As processor haven’t increased in serial performance for about 15 years, the only way of improving supercomputer performance is to improve their parallel processing architecture,” Schulthess says. “Furthermore, it’s worth setting up the supercomputer architecture specifically to allow it to solve classes of research problems in | [

You should do most of your pruning in late winter, before spring growth begins. I immediately went out and purchased a year old tree and I can't wait to see the ending results.
The flowers were pretty, but we want the maximum quality, even if it decreases the number of fruit. If you live in the southwest, you will probably need a hex shaft digging bar to loosen up your soil and move rock. This ensures that the fruit left over becomes large and juicy.

They are, however, highly susceptible to both insect infestations and plant disease. Coir, like our Coco-Fiber Growing Medium, can be added instead of peat — or just work in 2 or more inches of organic material with the existing soil. As advertised, it "feeds the roots all season long.
Add more soil if needed. Cookies make wikiHow better. Awesome picture! Someone told me you should always plant two. Most Popular. Co-Authored By:.
Plan on spacing trees as far apart as their expected height. This will eliminate air pockets that may cause the tree to be loose in its planting hole.
Dwarf and semidwarf varieties need less spacing; about 10 to 14 feet shuyld be sufficient. Pruning them so we had a few different kinds on one tree used to make him very happy! However, most gardeners prefer to purchase young trees from nurseries or tree farms rather than try to grow a tiny, fragile seedling into a viable tree.
Place the peach tree in the center of the planting hole with its roots down and spread out. Actually it was by coincidence that I tie baling twine across the cultivar line in order to prevent agri-machines from inadvertently driving across my cultivars. | [

DACA is Back... But is it Here to Stay?
On April 24, 2018, Judge John D. Bates of the Federal District Court in Washington, D.C. ruled that the Trump Administration and The Department of Homeland Security must reopen Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) to resume and allow ‘Dreamers’ to renew their DACA status. Judge Bates is now the third judge to rule against the shut down, following a federal judge in San Francisco, California and Brooklyn, New York earlier this year.
DACA is a program that was implemented in 2012 that protects young adults from deportation who were brought to theUnited States as minors; most of which arrived before the age of 5. The 2012 DACA Memorandum eloquently states that these young people generally "lacked the intent to violate the law" when they entered the United States as children and, in many cases, “knew only this country as home” and had “contributed to [the] country in significant ways.” DACA was available to any undocumented person who:
- came to the United States under the age of sixteen;
- had lived in the United States continuously since at least June 15, 2007;
- was enrolled in school or had graduated from high school or been honorably discharged from the military;
- had not been convicted of certain criminal offenses and posed no threat to national security or public safety; and
- was under the age of thirty.
Under DACA, these young people have been able to obtain social security numbers, work, attend colleges and universities, pay taxes, receive federal student aid and other limited government assistance, travel abroad, obtain health insurance, participate in work-study programs, become eligible for mortgages and positively contribute to society in a plethora of ways. Protest, rallies, and peaceful marches erupted all around the country following this September 2017 decision and have continued to spark controversy, debate, and fear.
On September 5, 2017, the Trump Administration made a decision to rescind the program as an initiative paralleled with his stance on immigration and immigration reform. In Judge Bates’ decision dated April 24, 2018, he declared “the Department’s decision to rescind DACA was predicated primarily on its legal judgment that the program was unlawful. That legal judgment was virtually unexplained, however, and so it cannot support the agency’s decision. And although the government suggests that DACA’s rescission was also predicated on the Department’s assessment of litigation risk, this consideration is insufficiently distinct from the agency’s legal judgment to alter the reviewability analysis. It was also arbitrary and capricious in its own right, and thus likewise cannot support the agency’s action. For these reasons, DACA’s rescission was unlawful and must be set aside.” In short of the legal mumbo-jumbo, Judge Bates found virtually no legal substance behind the proposal to cancel the program to begin with.
The Human Rights Campaign reported that upwards of 70,000 DACA recipients are LGBTQ. Catalina Vasquez was the first undocumented transgender person to attend Georgetown University. In 2013, she became the first transgender immigrant Latina appointed as commissioner for the D.C. Office of Latino Affairs. Vasquez advocated that "the prospects of deportation contains additional element of uncertainty, since they may be sent to countries that have poor LGBTQ human rights records. You can't send a trans or queer person back to Iran or Honduras and expect them to survive, much less thrive." "We don't want to demonize other cultures," she cautioned. "There are trans movements in all parts of the world. But there's a world out there that refuses to respect our identities."
Judge Bates has allowed 90 days for the Department of Homeland Security to create a lawful basis to cancel the program. If no lawful basis is created, new and renewal DACA applicants will resume being accepted. | [

The 'Proof of Heaven' Author Has Now Been Thoroughly Debunked by Science -
When Dr. Eben Alexander wrote his book it seems that he conveniently forgot a few small damning details that are now coming back to haunt him, for lack of a better word. The coma he says he fell into during his severe illness was apparently medically-induced and the doctor who induced his coma says so herself. She also says that at no point was Alexander "dead" but rather conscious and just "delirious" as he overcame his illness, meaning that his experiences were likely a product of that. The most amazing aspect of this whole incident is that Alexander didn't consider anyone else might come forward with their version of events including medical evidence.
EXCLUSIVE: Universal Pictures has won a bidding battle for movie rights to Proof Of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon’s Journey Into The Afterlife, the runaway bestselling non-fiction book about a man who glimpsed the afterlife during a near death health crisis. Mary Parent and Cale Boyter will produce through Disruption Entertainment. Deal was six figures and three studios chased the book.
an NDE can make a convert of a skeptic. Dr. Eben Alexander is a well-known case of an agnostic scientist who became convinced of the existence of the spiritual.
He has often shared his story in television interviews with journalists and expressed his views in lectures and in books and video presentations, which he sells on his website.
Alexander, a neurosurgeon, according to his autobiography, has described his experience in the same terms as the Belgian researchers: "hyper-reality," "too real to be real."
In the beginning, he tried to interpret his experience as a brain function, he wrote on his website, but he became increasingly spiritual. He has come to the conclusion that people are reincarnated.
Alexander says his experience could not have been a hallucination, because the parts of the brain necessary to produce his experiences were basically dead when he had them. | [

Two Nigerians, Austin and Chukwudi Edeh, have been arrested in India for trafficking hard drugs, especially Heroin. The Punjab police has arrested the two Nigerian nationals in Delhi for allegedly supplying drugs in the state.
Austin and Edeh were arrested from Vikaspuri in New Delhi, Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of police, Ludhiana, Virinder Singh Hayer said.
The brothers denied dealing on drugs, saying they are businessmen selling spare parts.
But the DIG of police said the two Nigerians were arrested on the basis of details revealed during interrogation of a man named Balbir Singh, who had been arrested on May 4.

The Rossignol ENT is an experimental French assault rifle.
The ENT was an experimental rifle part of a project initiated by the French army in 1890, to find a semi-automatic rifle to replace the aging Lebel Model 1886 rifle. At least 5 variants of the ENT were made, the A1, A2, A4 and A5. The ENT A5 emerged as offering industrial potential due to its direct impingement system. However, the ENT lost out to the Meunier rifle, which was later adopted from 1910.
The weapon fired a 6×60mm round. | [

After premiering a few weeks back at San Diego Comic-Con, and subsequently getting leaked online, 20th Century Fox premiered the worldwide debut of the "Deadpool" trailer Tuesday night on Conan.
And boy is it incredible.
Starring Ryan Reynolds, "Deadpool" will tell the origin story of Marvel's most twisted antihero Wade Wilson who goes from being a mercenary to superhuman after an experiment leaves him with healing abilities and a new outlook on life.
A lot of the credit on this film goes to Reynolds, who has been trying to get the film made since he starred as the character in 2009's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" movie. After test footage for a new Deadpool film went viral, 20th Century Fox finally got on board.
It really couldn't be a better time for a Deadpool film. Over the past decade, the Marvel antihero has become one of the most popular comic book characters online. You can find him in various memes and all over Tumblr. One reason for that is his accessibility. Since he's a comic character who's aware he is one, he gets all your pop culture references, and has become a Comic-Con favorite.
"Deadpool" will be in theaters February 12, 2016. | [

Previously, you couldn’t have each other to look, and now increasingly diverge in different rooms? All because two very boring? Yes, the relationship will eventually get bored and lapped, but this does not mean that it is time to leave and give up on future relationships. You just need to add life to colors. Let’s try to figure out what to do if the relationship became boring.
First, it is very important to tell to the partner all your feelings. So you kill two birds with one stone: tell my husband about the fears and doubts and also know if he felt the same. It is important to understand that boredom indicates that partners are not satisfied in the relationship specific needs. Just realize their is little need to talk about them. In other words, don’t make your mate guess their secret desires. In fact, interest in the needs and interests of a loved one is a very important part of an interesting and harmonious way.
Become very interesting
Psychologists assert: self-sufficient person – and with yourself not boring. And when you realize that you are an interesting person, with time you will begin to understand that you have quite a lot of chances to be needed and interesting to others, you people. Therefore, not self-destruction, do something original and interesting. For example, master a new hobby, find a creative occupation to their liking and on the shoulder.
To your significant other pay more attention to you, often start to take the first steps. We are talking about the nice compliments, nice surprises. For example, nothing should be left in the coat pocket of her husband a gentle romantic message, prepare fried eggs in the shape of a heart for Breakfast, praise for a beautifully nailed a shelf, etc.
Go up in the world
It is also very important. I more often somewhere together, go to the theatre, cinema, guests, walk in the Park, meet new people. Then you will have new topics of conversation and discussion. And the question is, what if the relationship became boring – will cease to be for your family relevant.
Remember the tenderness with which you treated your spouse before. Why not bring back this period of the relationship? Make my husband a romantic evening, a Striptease, or just play different games in bed. If you want a thrill – go to the sex shop and treat yourself to beautiful underwear and intimate toys. Learn how to make each other massages, kiss more often and pamper his mate a gentle hug.
We all know that the common work of people brings. So, it’s time to find a common class. This can be a joint service, reception bathroom and even skydiving. Try to understand your mate, study his interests and preferences. And then the relationship will again be a colorful, emotional, and delicious! | [

Museum of Floral Culture
Just opened in August in 2012, the Museum of Floral Culture is one of the newest museums in Bangkok. Flowers play an integral part of Thai culture, and the first-of-its-kind museum seeks to document that role, as well as the history of floral arrangements and the cultures which influenced it, such as China, India and Bali.
The 100 year-old house of the Museum of Floral Culture
The museum is set up in a house that's more than 100 years old, not far from the Vimanmek Mansion. In fact, the house was originally built by one of the officers of the palace guards, who was granted the land by the king. The founder and director of the museum is the internationally known floral artist Sakul Intakul, who is also the florist to the Thai royal court.
Visits to the museum are by guided tour only and start inside the house. The main rooms displays photographs of some of the key members of the Thai court who helped to cultivate the fine art of flower arranging around the turn of the twentieth century. The next room has photographs and some written works from other cultures whose traditions influenced Thai floral culture, such as India, Cambodia, Bali and Japan. It is this room that contains the museum's oldest artifacts: an ancient scroll from Japan that is like an instruction manual for the Japanese art of ikebana.
Other rooms display some traditional art and flower arrangements from Northeast Thailand; explain the process of turning flower petals into art; and examples of floral offerings, such as for weddings or to welcome guests. There's also a room upstairs with sketches and photographs documenting some of the director's projects, both for the royal family and for special events around the world.
The gardens around the house are also part of the tour. The grounds are planted with trees and shrubs reflecting Thai ideals of geomancy, which is very close to the Chinese feng shui. Don't expect a riot of color, as many of the plants were chosen for their traditional meaning rather than their flowers. The front of the house is surrounded by hanging orchids, which are changed periodically. The gardens are very beautiful, with different vistas in every direction.
The museum is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. Guided tours are given in Thai or English and last around one hour. Admission, including the tour, is 150 Baht (3.90 USD). The museum is on a small side street about a 15 minute walk from the Payap pier. See the Floral Museum web site for a map and more information. | [

Guard for Pope General Audience – Oct 19, 2016
So my co-worker asked about security for the Pope. I showed him this guy:
He laughed and said no matter what you are carrying, if you wearing those shoes, I’m not going to be afraid. I didn’t think about these things at the time. So Security can be many things.
So for a moment, security was color and laughter.

Knowing how to conduct a Solar Energy Audit for your home is crucial to assess your home’s energy needs and optimize your energy consumption. The right moment to do so is even before investing in a solar panel system. Installing solar panels on your home can be a smart investment that pays dividends in the long run. In this article, we will guide you through the process of conducting a solar energy audit for your home.
Why know how to conduct a Solar Energy Audit for you Home?
Before investing in solar panels, it is essential to assess your home’s energy efficiency and determine if solar power is a feasible option. A solar energy audit serves several purposes:
- Energy Consumption Analysis: An audit helps you understand how much energy your household consumes on a daily, monthly, and annual basis. This information is vital in determining the size of the solar energy system required to meet your electricity needs.
- Financial Evaluation: By analyzing your energy usage and current electricity costs, you can estimate potential savings with solar energy. It allows you to compare the payback period of a solar installation and the return on investment.
- Solar Potential Assessment: Auditing your home helps identify the best locations for solar panels, considering factors such as roof orientation, shading, and available space.
- Energy Efficiency Improvements: An audit may reveal areas where you can make energy-efficient upgrades, reducing your energy consumption even before installing solar panels.
1. Gather Energy Consumption Data
Start by collecting your past utility bills, covering at least the last 12 months. Calculate the average monthly energy usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh). This data will give you an insight into your energy consumption patterns and help determine the solar system size needed to cover your electricity needs.
2. Assess Your Home’s Energy Efficiency
Before focusing on solar, ensure that your home is energy efficient. Energy efficiency measures not only reduce your electricity consumption but also optimize the performance of your solar energy system. Here are some areas to consider:
- Insulation: Check the quality and level of insulation in your walls, attic, and floors. Adequate insulation helps maintain a stable indoor temperature, reducing the need for heating and cooling.
- Windows and Doors: Look for air leaks around windows and doors. Seal any gaps or consider upgrading to energy-efficient windows and doors.
- Appliances and Lighting: Evaluate the energy efficiency of your appliances and lighting. Replace old, energy-guzzling models with ENERGY STAR rated products.
- Heating and Cooling Systems: Inspect your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Regular maintenance and the use of programmable thermostats can lead to significant energy savings.
3. Analyze Solar Potential of your roof
Assessing your property’s solar potential is a crucial part of the audit. Factors to consider include:
- Roof Orientation: South-facing roofs receive the most sunlight throughout the day, making them ideal for solar installations. East and west-facing roofs can also work, but they may have reduced solar exposure.
- Roof Tilt: The ideal tilt angle of your solar panels depends on your latitude. A tilt angle equal to your latitude can maximize energy generation throughout the year.
- Shading: Identify any obstructions that cast shadows on your roof during peak sunlight hours. Trees, buildings, or other structures may hinder solar panel performance.
- Available Space: Measure the available roof space to estimate how many solar panels can fit on your roof.
4. Get Professional Solar Assessments
While you can gather valuable information on your own, consulting a professional solar installer or energy auditor is highly recommended. They have the expertise and tools to conduct a more comprehensive assessment. They can provide accurate calculations of potential solar energy production, system size recommendations, and estimated cost and savings.
5. Consider Solar Financing Options
Once you have a better understanding of your solar potential and the system size required, consider the various financing options available. These may include purchasing the system outright, leasing, power purchase agreements (PPAs), or solar loans. Evaluate the financial implications of each option and choose the one that aligns with your budget and financial goals.
6. Choose a Reputable Solar Installer
Selecting a trustworthy and experienced solar installer is crucial to ensure a smooth installation process and the optimal performance of your solar energy system. Research different companies, read customer reviews, and request quotes from multiple installers before making a decision.
7. Choose the Right Solar Panel System
Selecting the right solar panel system is crucial for achieving optimal results. Consider the following factors when choosing a solar system:
- Panel Type: There are three main types of solar panels: monocrystalline, polycrystalline, and thin-film. Monocrystalline panels are more efficient but costlier, while thin-film panels are less efficient but more affordable.

In a remarkable display of leadership and diplomacy, Dr. Wilson Sanya, the Mayor of Koboko Municipality in Uganda, recently made headlines as he addressed the Global Strong Cities Networking Summit in New York City.
This summit, held during the high-level opening week of the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, brought together over 276 mayors from around the world to discuss crucial issues related to peace, coexistence, and community development.
Dr. Sanya's presence at this international event not only shed light on the challenges faced by Koboko and the West Nile region but also underscored the importance of local governments in addressing global issues.
Koboko District, established in 2005, has a unique history and geographical location in the northwestern part of Uganda. It borders South Sudan to the north, Yumbe District to the east, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west, and Maracha District to the south.
The district's rich history includes being the birthplace of former President Field Marshal Idd Amin Dada. However, it also endured turbulent times during the 1980s and 1990s due to conflicts among various rebel factions.
Geographically, Koboko comprises mainly flat rolling plains, with isolated undulating hills in the western and northern regions.
The district's economy primarily revolves around agriculture, trade, fish farming, civil service employment, and other petty jobs. Its strategic location near the borders of South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo has made cross-border trade a significant economic activity.
Population and Religious Diversity: As of 2018, Koboko District had a projected population of approximately 237,900, with a slight majority being female. The district boasts a diverse religious landscape, with Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Islamic faiths being predominant. There are also smaller communities of Seventh-day Adventists, traditionalists, and atheists, reflecting the cultural and religious tapestry of the region.
Dr. Wilson Sanya's journey to becoming the Mayor of Koboko Municipality and a respected figure in Uganda's urban governance began with his education. Born on May 5, 1977, in Koboko District, he completed his primary education at Ediofe Boys Primary School and proceeded to St. Charles Lwanga Secondary School for his O' Level studies. He then pursued his advanced-level education at St. Joseph's College, Ombachi, Arua.
Mayor Dr. Wilson Sanya Speaking
After obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree in Ethics and Development Studies from Uganda Martyrs University-Nkozi in 2001, Dr. Sanya furthered his knowledge by completing relevant courses, including a Post Graduate Diploma in Public Administration and Administrative Officers Law Course.
His career in public service took off with roles at organizations like the Foundation for Human Rights Initiative (FHRI) and the Uganda Change Agent Association (UCAA) before transitioning into local government positions in Arua and later Koboko.
In 2015, Dr. Sanya entered politics under the banner of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and was elected as the first directly elected mayor of Koboko Municipal Council.
His dedication to public service and leadership did not stop there, as he went on to become the National Vice Chairman for the Urban Authorities Association of Uganda (UAAU) from 2016 to 2020. In the 2021 elections, he secured a second term as Mayor of Koboko Municipal and, impressively, was elected as the National Chairman of UAAU, a position of great significance that represents all cities, municipalities, and town councils in Uganda.
Dr. Sanya's recent appearance at the Global Strong Cities Networking Summit in New York City was a testament to his commitment to addressing pressing issues. He was invited to deliver a keynote address on peacefully coexisting with neighboring communities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan.
His speech highlighted the efforts of West Nile and Koboko in youth skill development, trauma handling, and the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SSG 11).
The summit was attended by more than 276 mayors, including notable figures like Mr. Eric Adams, the Mayor of New York, Mr. Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, and the Mayor of Berlin, among others.
Dr. Sanya's participation underscored the global significance of local leaders in promoting peace, preventing extremism, and fostering community development while respecting human rights and safeguarding local democracy.
Dr. Wilson Sanya's journey from Koboko to the global stage is a testament to the power of dedicated leadership and commitment to community development. His participation in the Global Strong Cities Networking Summit showcased not only the challenges faced by Koboko and the West Nile region but also the role that local governments can play in addressing global issues. With his vision, experience, and dedication, Dr. Sanya continues to be a symbol of unity and progress for Northern Uganda and the nation as a whole. His leadership promises to bring equal opportunities and unity | [

A compound, which is a selective peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) agonist, was investigated. The aim of the presented studies was to evaluate the potential of the further development of the compound. Fundamental physicochemical properties and stability of the compound were characterized in solution by liquid chromatography and NMR and in solid-state by various techniques. The drug itself is a lipophilic acid with tendency to form aggregates in solution. The neutral form was only obtained in amorphous form with a glass-transition temperature of approximately 0 °C. The intrinsic solubility at room temperature was determined to 0.03 mg/mL. Chemical stability studies of the compound in aqueous solutions showed good stability for at least two weeks at room temperature, except at pH 1, where a slight degradation was already observed after one day. The chemical stability in the amorphous solid-state was investigated during a period of three months. At 25 °C/60% relative humidity (RH) and 40 °C/75% RH no significant degradation was observed. At 80 °C, however, some degradation was observed after four weeks and approximately 3% after three months. In an accelerated photostability study, degradation of approximately 4% was observed. Attempts to identify a crystalline form of the neutral compound were unsuccessful, however, salt formation with tert-butylamine, resulted in crystalline material. Results from stability tests of the presented crystalline salt form indicated improved chemical stability at conditions whereas the amorphous neutral form degraded. However, the salt form of the drug dissociated under certain conditions. The drug was administered both per oral and intravenously, as amorphous nanoparticles, to conscious dogs. Plasma profiles showed curves with secondary absorption peaks, indicating hepatic recirculation following both administration routes. A similar behavior was observed in rats after oral administration of a pH-adjusted solution. The observed double peaks in plasma exposure and the dissociation tendency of the salt form, were properties that contributed to make further development of the candidate drug challenging. Options for development of solid dosage forms of both amorphous and crystalline material of the compound are discussed. | [

With many of these matters one can only speculate and trust in the mercy of God.
We know through the story of Lazarus that there existed, even before the New Covenant, an understanding of a place where the unjust would go to suffer and a place where the just would be free from torment. Gentiles seemingly were not excluded from God’s loving mercy, for Job was not an Israelite and yet he was regarded as a very righteous man and was blessed for it.
According to tradition belief, after He died, Christ descended into Hell to preach amongst the spirits. It is believed that Christ released many spirits from this prison, but how many or who exactly is not taught. Where the great prophets and Patriarchs went after their deaths is not always clear. We know that some were taken up into heaven (Enoch and Elijah), and considering the event of the Transfiguration in Christ’s ministry, it would seem, despite the intended symbolism of the Law, that Moses were in heaven, too.
Yes, there were infants who died before the New Covenant. We do not know for sure where God has sent them or the conditions they live in now. We know that Herod murdered the Holy Innocents of Bethlehem. Are we to believe that these Holy Innocents, who were not initiated into the New Covenant, went to Hell? This would seem to contradict the Church’s liturgical view of them more as martyrs than as hell-bound unfortunates.
The Old Covenant was in fact harder to live by because one could not fulfil all that it required. If one failed in one respect to the Law, one failed in all the respects. Eternal life could not be achieved through adherence to the Law. However, the New Covenant, which is Christ himself, is already fulfilled in the work of Christ. True, it may seem more difficult to live by the commandments of Christ, but Christians are given the inestimable assistance of the Holy Spirit (or Holy Ghost) to fulfil all things with the mind of Christ. | [

The competing Android and iOS operating systems accounted for 85 percent of all smartphones shipped in the second quarter of 2012, according to analyst firm IDC.
Worldwide Mobile Phone Tracker service indicated that while the market share for iOS devices declined from 18.8 percent in the second quarter of last year to 16.9 percent this year, Apple saw a 27.7 percent rise in the number of units shipped — an increase from 20.4 million to 26.4 million across the quarter.
Android devices continue to dominate the smartphone market, according to IDC. The number of shipped devices more than doubled from 50.8 million to 104.8 million year-on-year, giving the Google-developed operating system a 68.1 percent market share.
Devices running Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 and Windows Mobile operating systems also shipped in increasing numbers, with 5.4 million moved this year as opposed to 2.5 million for the same time last year.
However, the market share for Windows Phone 7 only rose from 2.3 per cent to 3.5 per cent.
The losers in the smartphone market were Nokia's Symbian, which dropped 62.9 per cent, and RIM's Blackberry OS, which fell 40.9 percent over the last year in shipped units.
IDC's senior research analyst Kevin Resto called the mobile OS market a "two-horse race" between Android and iOS. While there was still room for some competitors to gain share, he said it would become increasingly difficult to do as smartphone penetration rises. | [

In December 2019 Bles Dairies Consultancy expert Martin de Jong visited Montenegro to conduct a workshop on milk hygiene and quality for a selected group of (small scale) dairy farmers, who supply their milk to one of the larger milk processing companies in the country.
The Montenegrin dairy sector is characterised by small-scale farming. Milk production is based on about 26,270 farms with an average herd size of 2.9 cows and milk yield of 2,700 kg/cow. During the summer period, the cattle grazes in the natural grassland of the hills / mountains. During the winter period, the animals are kept in non-ventilated closed cattle buildings.
The workshop was organised by the Agricultural councillor of the Netherlands embassy for Serbia and Montenegro. The MNE Food Safety Authority of the Montenegrin Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development made the request for this workshop. The Netherlands Government supports the Ministry within the framework of EU-Pre Accession assistance. | [

Stop me if this sounds familiar: A film about Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, that tries to tell his life story.
Well unlike the last one that came out, this one is actually good. Partially because it’s just a better movie, but primarily because there’s no Ashton Kutcher.
Mean jokes, aside, I really liked “Steve Jobs.” The star-studded cast, led by Michael Fassbender, help carry this clever film. The movie basically used three different Apple product launches to move the plot along and focuses a lot more on Jobs as a man, rather than a technical giant.
I thought it was a great movie that’s worth taking the time to go see.

An unidentified high school boy in Florida has been asked by his principal to not wear his signature high-heels to school. According to the news report, this young man wears the shoes because they “make him feel more confident.” But when they caused a “classroom disturbance,” his principal asked him not to wear them…
“As a principal of a high school … I have to make sure he’s going to be okay,” Heilmann told Fox, adding he was worried the student would be subjected to bullying. “Anytime anyone goes out from, quote, ‘the norm,’ or anytime anyone wants to make a statement, you have to be willing to take what comes with it.”
Now. I’m one of the first people to complain that we’re throwing way too broad a net with the term, “bullying”. What was once a tiff between kids is now considered bullying. What used to be called a ‘cut-down fight’ – with each kid trying to one-up the other with the insults – is now labeled bullying. Any time someone notices something different about someone else, and says it out loud, it’s called bullying. So kids are either getting busted left and right for “bullying”, or the schools throw up their hands completely, because they’re trying to micro-manage, and real bullying gets ignored.
So when I heard this principal’s point of view, I had to agree. Assuming (and I have not read any different anywhere) this kid has not been verbally or physically abused over his choice of footwear, he should be expected to stand up for himself when he wears them. They’re ‘weird’. They’re out of the norm. Just like the kid with the blue mohawk should expect strange looks, so should the boy in the red pumps.
But an article I read (an opinion piece) said that the principal was “caving to the bullies” by telling this guy that he needs to stand up for himself. Her point was that the kids should be tolerant of this young man’s choice, and nobody should say anything about it. And that the principal’s opinion was wrong.
So, what do you think? Assuming that the shoes didn’t violate school dress code (because that’s a whole other discussion), and assuming that there was no bullying, but that there were some comments here or there, should the principal have told the boy to leave the shoes at home if he wasn’t prepared to defend his choice? Or should the principal have come to his defense, and dealt with any other kids who were making remarks? | [

When we step into ceremony, we are stepping outside of our linear time and merge with the Divine. As we do this, we activate a personal transformation (emotionally, physically, and/or spiritually). When we begin our ceremony by opening sacred space, we invite support for our transformation by invoking the presence of our ancestors, loved ones, spirit guides, and the Divine.
I first learned of this practice when studying Shamanism with the 4 Winds Society. I was in awe of how powerfully a simple prayer elevated the energy of a space and the practices that were happening within that space.
Over the years this practice is one that I have integrated in many ways...and it is how I begin and end every ceremony, ritual, healing session, and so much more.
Below is the original copy that was shared with me by the 4 Winds (from the pageOpening Sacred Space). I have since adapted it to match me and it is something I adapt situationally to match my intention or my clients intentions.
This is a powerful way to create a portal of connection between your sacred work and the divine. It s intended to be opened during the sacred work and then closed after.
I would encourage you to get familiar with the language as it is experiencing the prayer just as it is written, allowing all of you to experience the deeper meaning and connection that it offers, guiding you to connect with the cosmology of our world.
As you get comfortable with it then allow it to evolve in ways that feel natural and fluid for you.
To the winds of the South Great Serpent
Wrap your coils of light around us
Teach us to shed the past the way you shed your skin
To walk softly on the Earth Teach us the Beauty Way

To the winds of the North Hummingbird,
Grandmothers and Grandfathers Ancient Ones
Come and warm your hands by our fires
Whisper to us in the wind
We honor you who have come before us
And you who will come after us, our children’s children
To the winds of the East Great eagle, condor
Come to us from the place of the rising Sun
Keep us under your wing
Show us the mountains we only dare to dream of
Teach us to fly wing to wing with the Great Spirit Mother
We’ve gathered for the healing of all of your children
The Stone People, the Plant People
The four-legged, the two-legged, the creepy crawlers
The finned, the furred, and the winged ones
All our relations

And you who are the unnamable One
Thank you for bringing us together
And allowing us to sing the Song of Life | [

Clinical Trials Showcase winners
Showcase highlights clinical trials, treatments and cures
An RPA respiratory staff specialist has been awarded Sydney Local Health District's Clinical Trial of the Year for a world-first investigation into a new technique for performing lung biopsies.
And, a RPA senior pharmacist won the Excellence in Clinical Trial Support Award.
The awards were announced at the Clinical Trials Showcase held as part of Innovation Week 2022.
Associate Professor Lauren Troy won the Clinical Trial of the Year Award for her study about the use of cryobiopsy in diagnosing interstitial lung disease (ILD).
Cryobiopsy allows for tissue samples to be collected from the lungs by inserting a probe into the lungs and close to the chest wall. The probe is then cooled, causing tissue to stick to it.
Associate Professor Troy's COLDICE (Cryobiopsy versus Open Lung biopsy in the Diagnosis of Interstitial lung disease allianCE) study showed that cryobiopsy leads to accurate diagnoses and that it has many potential benefits to patients.
Her work demonstrated that, compared with a surgical biopsy, the technique avoids the need for chest wall incision and therefore scarring and pain.
She also showed that recovery is quick, with many patients able to go home the same day, and that the technique is a good alternative for patients for whom surgery is not suitable.
The results of the study, which was published in 2019, have been cited in over 150 publications and have influenced clinical practice around the world.
Meanwhile, Romana Cecchele, a Senior Pharmacist at RPA's Investigational Drugs Unit, won the Excellence in Clinical Trial Support Award.
Ms Cecchele has led the Unit, which facilitates trials across the RPA campus, for more than eight years.
She and her team have been recognised for managing a growing workload, prioritising ongoing staff education, and for offering their expertise to external sites and stakeholders.
Ms Cecchele was described by the Director of Pharmacy at RPA, Russell Levy as "arguably one of the most experienced and competent clinical trials pharmacists in the nation".
"I am very proud of the work Romana and her team accomplish. They really are an exceptional asset to the Sydney Local Health District," he said.
The awards recognise and celebrate the outstanding contributions from researchers and research support staff in the District. | [

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the surface active agent has a proton level falling within the range of -0.44 to -0.69 eV.
10. The method of claim 1 wherein the surface active agent has a radius ratio of cation to oxygenion falling within the range of 0.25 to 0.45.
11. The method of claim 1 wherein the surface active agent forms a compound on the surface of the alumina.
12. The product made according to the method of claim 1.
This is a continuation of application Serial No. 578,617 filed on May 19, 1975 now abandoned.
The present invention relates in general to passivating aluminum interconnect layers on semiconductive devices and, more particularly, to an improved method for passivating the aluminum layers such improved method employing a surface active agent cooperating with an oxidized layer of the aluminum to force a hydrophobic surface on the aluminum oxide.
Heretofore, aluminum layers such as aluminum intraconnect layers on semiconductive devices have been passivated by anodizing the aluminum to form a relatively thick passivating layer of alumina over the aluminum interconnect. In other cases, the aluminum intraconnect has been passivated by chemically vapor depositing a relatively thick layer of silicon dioxide over the aluminum intraconnect layer. In other cases, the anodized aluminum intraconnect has been overcoated with chemical vapor deposited silicon dioxide for further passivating the aluminum intraconnect layer.
These prior art techniques for passivating the aluminum intraconnect layer have proven less than totally satisfactory, particularly in corrosive environments. It turns out that the anodized alumina protective layer is relatively porous allowing corrosive elements to diffuse through the porous layer to attack the underlying aluminum intraconnect. In the case of chemical vapor deposited silicon dioxide, this material has pin holes and corrosive elements passed through the pin holes and attack the underlying aluminum.
The principal object of the present invention is the provision of an improved method for passivating aluminum layers on semiconductive devices.
In one feature of the present invention, the aluminum layer on the semiconductive device to be passivated is first coated with a very thin layer of alumina by oxidizing the aluminum intraconnect layer. This is followed by coating the oxidized surface of the aluminum with a surface active agent to form a hydrophobic surface on the aluminum oxide to inhibit nucleation and growth of AlOOH on the oxide layer. This hydrophobic surface is then preferably coated with one of the conventional passivating materials in the conventional manner, such chemically vapor deposited silicon dioxide, epoxy resin or the | [

An emaciated dog is best served consuming a small meal every six hours (4 times a day) rather than consuming one or two larger meals. A broad-spectrum vitamin and mineral supplement is important to include at each meal. Some evidence supports the addition of the amino acid glutamine to the recovery diet.
What causes partial anorexia dogs?
Systemic disease, whether it involves infection or an organ system dysfunction (e.g., diabetes or kidney disease), can lead to anorexia. Psychological explanations, such as stress, altered routines, changes in the environment, or undesirable/unpalatable food.
Can anorexia in dogs be cured?
Recovery from anorexia depends on the ability to detect and treat the underlying cause quickly. Prognosis may be good with early detection and pets can regain appetite in a day or two after the underlying cause is addressed. A high-quality diet is essential for keeping your dog happy and healthy.
How do I know if my dog has a partial anorexia?
Doggy anorexia can be partial or complete. If your dog is only eating some types of food, but not enough to stay healthy, it’s partial anorexia. If your dog won’t eat anything at all, you’re dealing with complete dog anorexia.
What do you feed an anorexic dog?
See if the pet will eat a canned food or mixture of dry and canned food. Adding a flavored broth or cooked egg is also helpful in enticing the pet to eat a kibbled diet. Foods that are generally regarded as delicacies among pets include: canned chicken, cooked egg, and canned tuna.
What is partial recovery from anorexia?
Partial recovery, she said, was defined as some improvement, but still symptomatic in at least one area: physical health, eating disorder thoughts and behaviors, social functioning or mood.
How can I get my dog to regain weight?
- Talk to Your Veterinarian.
- Keep a Health Journal.
- Weigh Your Dog Regularly.
- Choose a High-Quality Dog Food.
- Feed Them Small Meals Often.
- Incorporate Exercise.
- Use Weight Gain Snacks.
What is an appetite stimulant for dogs?
Capromorelin (brand name: Entyce®) is a systemic appetite stimulant used to encourage appetite in dogs.
Can anxiety cause anorexia in dogs?
The list of reasons for loss of appetite in dogs is long. It includes medical issues, behavioral problems, environmental problems, separation anxiety, and problems with the food itself. Medical conditions that can cause a loss of appetite in dogs include: Upset stomach.
Can a dog pass a partial obstruction?
Partial obstruction allows the dog to pass some stool and gas, but this constriction will eventually damage the intestines if not remedied. A complete GI obstruction is an emergency that can swiftly lead to death if untreated.
Why is my dog not eating but still active?
Your dog could be avoiding his food due to liver disease, infections, a blockage, tumor or kidney failure. If your dog isn’t eating but seems otherwise fine, that’s likely not the issue. However, if he doesn’t start chowing down within 24 hours, it’s time to seek medical help.
How can I encourage my dog to eat?
- Cutting back on treats.
- Feeding your pet on a regular schedule, usually at least twice a day.
- Making mealtime a fun time for your pet, such as by playing with a toy that dispenses food or rewarding your dog with food for doing a trick.
- Taking your dog for a walk before mealtime.
What to feed a dog to put weight on him?
If you are looking to help your dog gain weight, but don’t want to add more meat protein to his diet, try adding pumpkin or sweet potato to his food. This boost in fat and fibre is sure to help him put on a few pounds, and the nutrients will prevent him from having an upset stomach.
Can a dog recover from malnutrition?
It is often difficult to decide how to start bringing rescue dogs back to proper health if he or she is malnourished. However, by carefully following the steps below, the dog will hopefully be living a healthy, normal life in no time.
What is partial anorexia?
Anorexia is a medical term that means “no appetite.” Partial anorexia means “a decrease in appetite.” Anorexia is one of the more common reasons that pets are brought to us for medical attention. Some pet owners are too busy to notice at first that their pet has anorexia or partial anorexia.
Can anorexia damage be reversed?
Anorexia, like other eating disorders, can take over your life and can be very difficult to overcome | [

In this paper we present a broadly tunable sub-MW THz FEL amplifier driven by a photoinjector with a sub-kW seed THz source tunable between 0.7-2.0 THz. Specifically an S-band photoinjector at 2.856 GHz generate a 3.3-5.5 MeV electron bunch with 0.5 nC charge in a 4.25 ps rms bunch length, which is injected into a 2-m long undulator with a period of 18 mm and an rms undulator parameter of 0.98. The driver laser of the photoinjector is a frequency quadrupled amplified, mode-locked Nd:YVO4 laser at 1064 nm. We recycle the unconverted infrared laser at 1064 nm to pump a THz parametric amplifier using a lithium niobate crystal as its gain crystal. This THz parametric amplifier generates a transform-limited THz pulse with sub-kW power between 0.7 and 2.0 THz, which is seeded into the undulator to produce broadly tunable, transform-limited, sub-MW THz radiation through FEL amplification with a gain of about 3000. Since the pump laser of the THz OPA is derived from the driver laser of the photoinjector, the seed THz pulse is fully synchronized and overlapped with the electron bunch. Experimental progress of this work will be presented in the conference.

Bird-watching is more than a hobby. It’s an activity you can enjoy no matter where you travel on the planet. It’s a scavenger hunt and the objects fly. Sharon “Birdchick” Stiteler shares 1001 secrets every birder should know. Tucked into this volume are random facts like “A woodpecker’s tongue can extend three times the length of the beak” and “one in ten mute swan pairs end in divorce”. To avoid soiling their nests, “eagles can shoot their poop out over six feet.”
If you want more than trivia, try the chapter on bird-watching month by month. The birds you want to see and where to find them are combined with lists of festivals that offer workshops, tours and the best in optics. Whether it’s whooping cranes in Texas, prairie chickens in Wisconsin or one of the bird festivals in Oregon, there are choices for everyone. The birder’s bucket list has 10 locations throughout the world that might change your vacation plans for years to come. Israel, Kazakhstan and the Galapagos Islands share the list with Alaska, Texas and Florida.
For the younger set, the recently published National Geographic Kids Bird Guide of North America is arranged in chapters by region or a type of environment. The chapter on western backyards has two pages of pictures, habitat, foods, voice and nesting behavior for the acorn woodpecker. In addition to two page spreads for each bird, readers will find instructions to build a bird feeder or a bird bath at the back of the book.
The Peterson Field Guides series The young birder’s guide to birds of North America was published in 2012 and in part created with help from a fifth grade class. Nearly 300 birds are identified, each with a photo, drawings, mapped habitat and bird facts. Each also has an eye catching “Wow” circle with an interesting note. Wow! “Steller’s Jay could be called Stealing Jay since it often raids the nut caches of Acorn Woodpeckers.” Both titles would be great additions to your favorite young person’s book shelf. — Nancy | [

As some of you may know, the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) recently announced fare hikes to ride the public transit system in Toronto. These fare hikes will come into effect at the end of January. What do you think the first thing people will do when they hear that there is a fare hike? That's right, they will buy as many tokens or tickets as they can at the existing price. It is called hoarding by some. I call it being smart.
Do you think that this is something reasonable that the TTC should have expected? Of course it is. How could someone overlook this as a possibility? But they did. So as a temporary solution, the TTC has now enforced a rule that people can only buy 5 tokens at once to prevent hoarding. They also came out with new temporary tickets that can only be used until the end of January when the fare hike takes effect. So what is the problem? Retailers and collectors have a shortage of the temporary tickets, so people riding public transit on a regular basis cannot buy them. See this article.
The TTC developed the ticket strategy to avoid hoarding, which they estimate would have cost them $5m over two months. They call this what would have been lost revenue, but why couldn't they have anticipated this? Why was the execution so poor? How could they not have discussed some of the scenarios that might take place when fares are raised? I have to imagine that the first thing that would come to most people's minds is that people will try and buy a lot now at the current price to save in the future. That is not a stretch, so why is the TTC having to be so reactive?
Many organizations spend so much time reacting to what is going on around them, and focusing on head-down operational decisions, that they forget about execution. Think about how many great ideas and initiatives have failed because of poor execution. Organizations need to focus just as much on the execution as the development of the initial strategy. Execution is what gets you results. Execution is what provides a competitive advantage. Execution is what differentiates a good idea from delivered results. We need to spend more time on execution and less time reacting to every new situation that comes up. | [

Tables and chairs, buffets and hutches in highly refined woods such as cherry and mahogany are popular in formal eating out rooms. The table holds court in the heart of the available room, as the other pieces line the walls, their cabinets weighted down with displays of crystal and china. Dressed with linen or lace tablecloths often, the table isn’t the perfect spot to serve a family group dinner that may include spills from foods and beverages that stain.
Sand all areas of the eating out set to prepare the bits for the application of the coloring or stain you select for refinishing. Usually don’t press hard with the sandpaper, basically sand enough to create a harsh surface on the solid wood bits for coloring or stain to adhere. Wipe away dust and sand created during this step utilizing a piece of tack cloth.

As you look back at the technology trends over the past few decades, you’ll see the many significant changes. What’s interesting about this is the increasing speed that these trends occur in Finland and the globe. These massive technology transformations quickly shape how casinos run. Additionally, parhaat casinobonukset use innovative technology to provide fantastic gambling experiences.
With the help of our expert, Auli Wälkky, we’ll discuss the top three 2022 technology trends. We expect all of these to have a significant impact on iGaming technology for many years to come.
Internet of Things (IoT)
The IoT is the digital network of devices connected by the internet. These machines use software and sensors to exchange information with other machines. For instance, consider smart home devices such as fridges, TVs, sound systems, alarms, lights, and more. Users can control several aspects of their homes with one remote or their mobile phone.
This trend has also started to work its way into the online gambling world from Finland to the UK, and the Americas. Casinos that use this technology give online gamblers the chance to play against people at a land-based location. All that’s needed is an internet connection to link players from around the world.
In addition, IoT increases the amount of user analytic data so that gambling operators can offer more personalization opportunities. Sites will look at how individuals play across connected devices, allowing the casino to make custom spaced for users. This technology will change how platforms provide services.
Punters can deposit, withdraw, place bets, and check odds on all linked machines. Everything this trend can do will provide players with a state of the art gambling experience.
There are multiple ways that the latest robotics technology trends can replace humans in the online gambling industry. One way is that a punter can make a robot be a virtual player during a casino game. Unlike a human, this digital player doesn’t need breaks and will play for as long as the gambler wants.
Even though many Finns enjoy gambling because of the excitement of using their skill and wit against other players, some don’t like it. These gamblers would be thrilled to use bots since these machines can’t feel the excitement. However, casinos forbid players from using bots to play for them to prevent an unfair advantage.
Another way online casinos can incorporate robots is as a dealer. Using this machine not only provides players with the chance to gamble as long as they want. In addition, there’s no need for the bot to stop for breaks or use health and safety protection, so there is continuous play. For this reason, many casinos are implementing robot dealers to allow them to make more money through constant games and save money.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
AI is a future technology trend that many industries want to use to improve their field. For example, in the iGaming industry, many casinos use AI in several different ways. The first to detect and prevent problematic gambling behaviour among its users. This technology uses machine learning to recognize patterns and notifies the operator. Then, the platform will be able to offer the player support before a gambling addiction becomes disastrous.
Another way casinos use AI is to collect data to provide users with promotional offers that interest them. This tech can flawlessly make predictions; however, there are some drawbacks. For example, at an unreliable site, gambling operators might use this trend to get players to spend an unhealthy amount of time on the site.
Over the past few years, around 78% have started implementing or plan on applying AI to their sites. As the technology develops, online casinos will find new ways to improve the way customers gamble.
As the online gambling industry grows, it only benefits casinos to implement current technology trends into their plans. Investing in innovative tech will help them meet the challenges and demands of players. Overall, these trends will help casinos grow faster and be more successful without sacrificing performance.

Hydraulic structures play a crucial role in managing and controlling water resources, protecting against water-related hazards, and facilitating various water-related activities. These engineering structures are designed to harness the power of water or manage its flow to meet specific objectives. Here are the primary functions of hydraulic structures:
One of the fundamental functions of hydraulic structures is to store and regulate water. Dams, for example, create reservoirs by impounding water from rivers, allowing for controlled release and regulation of water flow. This function is essential for managing water supply, ensuring water availability during dry seasons, and preventing flooding during periods of heavy rainfall.
Hydraulic structures are employed to control and mitigate the impact of floods. Flood control measures include levees, embankments, and floodwalls, which act as barriers to contain floodwaters and protect adjacent areas from inundation. Additionally, spillways in dams allow the controlled release of excess water during high-flow events, reducing the risk of dam failure and downstream flooding.
Hydraulic structures, such as canals, weirs, and headworks, are crucial for agricultural irrigation. They facilitate the conveyance of water from rivers or reservoirs to agricultural fields, ensuring a steady and controlled supply of water to crops. Proper irrigation improves agricultural productivity and supports food production in many regions.
Dams and related hydraulic structures are used to harness the energy of flowing water for hydroelectric power generation. By directing water through turbines, the kinetic energy of the moving water is converted into electrical energy. Hydropower is a renewable and clean energy source, contributing to global electricity production.
Hydraulic structures, such as locks and canals, enable safe and efficient navigation of ships and boats through waterways with varying water levels. Locks raise or lower vessels to different water levels, allowing them to bypass natural or artificial obstacles and facilitating inland navigation and trade.
Hydraulic structures are essential for supplying water to communities, industries, and agriculture. Water intakes and pumping stations allow the extraction and distribution of water from rivers, reservoirs, or groundwater sources to water treatment plants and distribution networks. Elevated tanks and water towers are also examples of hydraulic structures used for storing and distributing potable water.
Hydraulic structures, such as revetments, groynes, and embankments, are employed to prevent erosion and stabilize riverbanks and shorelines. These structures protect against the erosive forces of flowing water, ensuring the stability of river channels and preventing loss of land due to erosion.
Fish ladders or fishways are hydraulic structures designed to facilitate the migration of fish past barriers such as dams or weirs. By providing a series of pools or steps with a gentle slope, these structures enable fish to navigate upstream and downstream to reach their spawning grounds or feeding areas, contributing to fish conservation and maintaining ecological balance.
Hydraulic structures are often used in wastewater treatment and management. Sewage treatment plants employ various hydraulic components, such as settling tanks, aeration basins, and clarifiers, to treat and purify wastewater before its safe release into the environment or reuse for non-potable purposes.
Coastal hydraulic structures, like breakwaters and seawalls, provide protection against coastal erosion, storm surges, and tidal forces. They dissipate wave energy and prevent damage to coastal infrastructure, safeguarding coastal communities and preserving beaches and shorelines.
Hydraulic structures are also used in research and modeling studies to understand the behavior of water flow in different scenarios. Physical models of hydraulic structures are often used to simulate real-world conditions and test the effectiveness of proposed engineering solutions.
Hydraulic structures serve diverse and essential functions in water resource management, flood control, energy generation, navigation, agriculture, and environmental conservation. By harnessing the power of water and controlling its flow, these structures contribute to human development, economic growth, and the sustainable utilization of water resources. Careful planning, design, and maintenance of hydraulic structures are essential to ensuring their effectiveness, safety, and long-term functionality. | [
