Crohn’s disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, from the mouth to the perianal region. It’s most prevalent in high-income countries, but its incidence is increasing in the developing world as well.1 In North America, it affects 319 per 100,000 individuals,2 with the most common symptoms being abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss.3
Although the cause of CD is unknown, environmental, immune, and genetic factors are thought to play a role. Smoking, too, is known to increase the risk of developing CD.2,3 Complications include bowel stenosis, abscess, and intestinal fistulas.4
Treatment for CD includes both medical and surgical approaches. Surgical treatment is often required for complications. Medical therapy consists of corticosteroids, immunomodulators, small molecules, and biologic therapies, the latter of which have become the standard of care for patients with moderate-to-severe disease.2
“Despite increasing numbers of therapies for the treatment of Crohn’s disease, we don’t have an unlimited number of therapies available,” says the current study’s lead author, Madeline Alizadeh, of the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore. “Additionally, in general, patients have their best response to the first advanced therapy, including biologics. Therefore, subsequent therapies are less likely to be effective. Knowing which patients are at highest risk of requiring multiple therapies is important for risk stratification. Further research is needed to understand how to sequence biologic therapies in Crohn’s disease, including in higher risk subgroups of patients.”
Assessing the number of biologics used
This retrospective review enrolled 281 patients from the Study of a Prospective Adult Research Cohort with IBD registry (SPARC registry), after a review of data collected between December 2016 and January 2021.2 Patients were divided into 3 groups: current smokers (n=39), former smokers (n=70), and never smokers (n=172). Their CD disease duration was an average of 17.8 years (interquartile range 11 to 24 years). The primary outcome was the number of biologics used in each group: 0, 1, or ≥2.
Most of the participants were male (57.3%), and the vast majority were White (83.6%). After performing a mixed logistic multiple regression analysis, the research team found no statistically significant differences in the number of biologics used between never smokers and former smokers (odds ratio [OR] 1.16, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.523 to 8.09; P=.366) and never smokers and current smokers (OR 4.16, 95% CI 0.659 to 82.7; P=.205).
“We were surprised by the results,” Alizadeh admits. “Smoking is a risk factor not only for the development of Crohn’s but several factors associated with worse disease, such as poorer postoperative outcomes. Our results suggest there may be a role for sex in this risk, but further research needs to be done in a larger cohort to better understand the role sex and the amount of tobacco exposure may be playing.”
Further research is crucial
Although the study did not demonstrate a relationship between smoking and increased biologics sequencing, the authors emphasize the need for a continued focus on smoking cessation.
“Our results should be interpreted with caution due to the small number of smokers and our inability to quantify the amount of tobacco exposure,” Alizadeh says. “Our results also should be interpreted with prior studies in mind, which have demonstrated negative effects of cigarette smoking, particularly in the postoperative setting.”
“Despite our findings,” Alizadeh concluded, “smoking cessation is important due to the many adverse health consequences associated with smoking. Further research also needs to be done to determine the impact of other tobacco products, such as smokeless tobacco and vaporizers.”

Electric bikes, or e-bikes, are an innovative and eco-friendly mode of transportation that offer numerous advantages over traditional bicycles. These bikes are equipped with rechargeable batteries and electric motors that provide assistance to riders, making it easier to travel longer distances and tackle challenging terrains. In this article, we’ll delve into the history of electric bikes, the benefits they offer, the different types available, and some important safety considerations for riders.
A Brief History of Electric Bikes
Electric bikes have come a long way since their inception over a century ago. The first electric bike was invented by American inventor Ogden Bolton Jr. in 1895, with the aim of making cycling easier for riders. However, early versions of these bikes were expensive and unreliable due to their primitive technology and lack of lithium-ion batteries which are now used in most modern electric bikes today. As a result, they didn’t gain widespread popularity until the late 1980s when better battery technologies became available and prices became more affordable for consumers.
Benefits of Electric Bikes
Electric bikes offer several benefits over traditional bicycles. For one, they are much more convenient to use. With just a light push on the pedals, riders can reach speeds of up to 20 mph, making it easier to get around town quickly and efficiently without breaking a sweat. Additionally, e-bikes reduce the strain on riders’ bodies by providing assistance when going uphill or into headwinds. This can be especially beneficial for older or less physically fit individuals who may struggle with the physical demands of cycling.
Moreover, electric bikes are also eco-friendly and contribute to a cleaner environment. With zero emissions and reduced noise pollution, they are an excellent option for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint. Furthermore, e-bikes can be used for leisure activities as well as off-road adventures, making them a versatile and fun mode of transportation.
Types of Electric Bikes
There are several types of electric bikes available today, each with their own unique features and advantages. For example, mountain e-bikes are designed to tackle rough terrain and trails, with wider tires and suspension systems that absorb bumps in the trail for a smoother ride. On the other hand, folding e-bikes are ideal for commuters who need a bike that can be easily transported and stored in tight spaces.
Safety Considerations for Electric Bike Riders
While e-bikes are generally safe and easy to use, it’s important for riders to take certain precautions to ensure their safety on the road. Firstly, all e-bike riders should wear a properly fitted helmet to protect against head injuries in the event of an accident. Additionally, riders should be aware of their surroundings at all times and follow traffic laws to avoid collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians. Finally, it’s important to maintain your e-bike regularly to ensure it’s in good working order and to avoid any potential malfunctions while riding.
In conclusion, electric bikes are a convenient, eco-friendly, and versatile mode of transportation that offer numerous benefits over traditional bicycles. With their efficient design and technological advancements, e-bikes are poised to become an increasingly popular choice for commuters, leisure riders, and adventurers alike. | [

Bauta character Venetian mask made from papier mache using traditional venetian mask making techniques.
Bauta character Venetian mask made from papier mache using traditional venetian mask making techniques. I sculpted the mask in clay and then took a mould from this, the papier mache is layered inside the mould using recycled paper and non toxic glue paste. Once dry the mask is hand painted and given an antiqued effect, then varnished so that it has a tough finish. The completed mask is tough and light weigh with a bit of give to it as well. Ties onto the head with black ribbons.
My head stand is smaller than the average human head which is why the mask looks a bit big on it!

American filmmaker Stan Brakhage is revered in the world of cinema for his revolutionary experiments with the cinematic medium. Known for exploring universal issues like morality and sexuality through unconventional methods, Brakhage is now recognised as one of the most important filmmakers of the 20th century. From Martin Scorsese to Trey Parker and Matt Stone (the creators of South Park), Brakhage’s influence on the art of cinema is undeniable.
His 1971 experimental documentary, The Act of Seeing with One’s Own Eyes, is one of his most well-known works along with the seminal Dog Star Man and Mothlight. Part of the Brakhage’s Pittsburgh trilogy, the celebrated short is a revelatory meditation on the business of death. Filmed while Brakhage visited a morgue in Pittsburgh, the 16mm footage is a silent manifestation of Brakhage’s ideas about the human condition.
The title of the film is a literal translation of the word “autopsy” and that forms the subject matter of the documentary as well. The Act of Seeing with One’s Own Eyes chronicles the rituals of death that forensic pathologists practice, dissecting the body while asking the viewers whether they are just the sum of their parts. Although the film reminds each of us about the inevitability of our demise, it is surprisingly human in its approach.
In a later interview, Brakhage reflected, “I wasn’t trying to invent new ways of being a filmmaker; that was just a by-product of my struggle to come to a sense of sight. And it seemed reasonable to me that film ought to be based on human seeing, and not just the physical eyes but the mind’s eye: that is, what happens when the eye receives images from the outside and how they interrelate with remembered images on the inside of the mind. How do we arrive at our seeing and then imagine with our sight?”

Choral Group of the Ilê
The Choral group project started after the publication in 2001 of two books - both by Dr. Jose Flavio Pessoa de Barros which included cds of sacred music sung in Yoruba by Lucinha Pessoa and some godchildren of the Ilê Axé Omin. The book project brought about the desire to spread the knowledge of Yoruba music in Brazil, and the choral group was formed.
I attended several rehearsals of the group and a performance at a Conference on Afro-Brazilian religion and the environment (see pictures from the conference on the next page), where the choral group received a standing ovation.

Low CD4s Despite HIV Treatment Linked to Risk of Cancer
A failure for CD4 levels to rise in the face of antiretroviral (ARV) treatment for HIV is associated with a greater risk of virus-related non-AIDS-defining cancers, aidsmap reports. Publishing their findings in the journal AIDS, researchers studied 9,389 people who began ARVs between 1996 and 2011.
The investigators followed the participants for a median of 3.3 years after their first six months of treatment. All told, the participants contributed 42,538 person-years of follow-up and an average of nine CD4 screen results.
The study group’s members were diagnosed with 164 non-AIDS-defining cancers, for an incidence rate of 395 per 100,000 person years. Forty percent of these cancers (65) were virus related, the most common of which was anal cancer, with 26 diagnoses.
For every increase of 100 CD4s six months after beginning therapy, there was a 29 percent risk reduction in virus-related non-AIDS-defining cancer.
The study authors advised intensive screening for such cancers among HIV-positive people with low CD4s.

For Juliano Dornelles and Kleber Mendonça Filho, Bacurau is a step down from Filho’s masterful Aquarius and a middling political epic that doesn’t fully land.
In 2016, Kleber Mendonça Filho impressed the Croisette with Aquarius, a socio-political film about the beautiful resilience of Brazilian people in the face of tyranny, injustice and fraud. With Bacurau, a co-directed film with Dornelles, Filho stays on the political but veers into genre with mixed results.
Bacurau is a small Brazilian town that’s underserved and far away from major cities. After the death of the town’s community leader, an elderly woman deeply beloved and respected, the town suddenly disappears from the map, as if its longtime protector has abandoned it. Soon after, the mayor, who is running for a new term, visits the town asking residents to vote. They all refuse since he had shut down the nearby dam, causing residents to suffer serious water shortage issues. Their determination to sabotage his campaign kicks off a retaliation plan that unfolds in surprising and often gory ways.
Despite being full of color, ambition and memorable sequences, Bacurau never quite lands due to a muddled script that wants to be a political commentary but fails to be accessible enough for it be a wholesome viewing experience. Several references are left unexplained, and a key plot device in the film feels too convoluted and changes the tone of the film. What starts as a political commentary on the resilience of Brazilian communities and their stand against exploitation and colonization soon turns out as a gory, gunfight conventional fare. The brilliance of Filho’s previous outing, Aquarius, was its ability to expertly juggle the political and the narrative, to weave in the characters in a symbolic context without sacrificing character development. Bacurau falls short in this department. For a large portion of the film, non-Brazilian viewers will mostly wonder what’s actually happening on screen – only to then discover what Filho and Dornelles were attempting to do with this cat-and-mouse approach.
It works less than it doesn’t – not only because the film can’t quite find its voice between trying to be reflective and maintaining a thrilling, entertaining and sometimes comedic tone, but also because at some point the film feels empty. It’s as if there is a point to be established but it takes too long for it to be made clear to non-Brazilian viewers unfamiliar with the history or behind-the-scenes struggle that the filmmakers seem concerned with. Because the film’s narrative deliberately hides part of the plot, particularly the motivation behind the film’s cat-and-mouse chase, a large portion of the film ends up being just that, verging on being meaningless rather than reflective. Such crucial flaw was not present in Aquarius for instance, because of a much more balanced, nuanced and well-developed script.
Despite the flaws, the film still manages to be visually immersive and engaging on a performance level. It’s particularly worthy of note that most of the actors in the film are non-professionals, and it’s quite the feat for the filmmakers to have been able to draw such naturalistic performances from talented but inexperienced actors who were able to convey the agony of living on the margins of a society that’s willing to devour the weak just to achieve political gains. Technical credits are very solid, particularly a colorful, lush cinematography that brilliantly captures the stunning beauty of Brazilian landscape. Some shots are wonderful to look at, and the transition between underground tunnels, old houses and aerial footage is quite outstanding. Sound design is also top-notch. | [

1 1/4" Suction x 1" Discharge Pump; 100 PSI, 4600 RPM, 75 GPM, 3 GPM Hydraulic Motor; Open Center System; FMC-HYD-203
The 203 motor required 2 GPM (7.6 LPM) and 3 GPM (11.4 LPM)hydraulic fluid input. Recommended for engineered systems with limited oil flow.
Ace developed the first hydraulic motor driven pump at the request of John Deere in 1969. Many of the original pumps are still operating today after more than 30 years of service.
Centrifugal pump design provides good resistance to abrasive solutions and extra flow for agitation. The advantages of the hydraulic motor driven pump are mounting versatility, customized performance, and ease of maintenance. All hydraulic driven pumps are equipped with a stainless steel shaft and wear ring for excellent corrosion resistance.
MOUNTING VERSATILITY: The location of the pump is not tied to the PTO or engine drive shaft; the pump can be mounted in a variety of locations to suit application requirements.
CUSTOMIZED PERFORMANCE: The performance is dependent on the supply of hydraulic oil to the motor and not necessarily tied to engine speed. A hydraulic Roundup logo driven pump can produce higher pressures than PTO or belt driven pumps. They can also hold constant pressure at varying engine speeds on closed center hydraulic systems.
EASY MAINTENANCE: On a hydraulic driven pump there are no belts to align or break. Separate pump and hydraulic motor shafts simplify repair and replacement. Two main pump bearings support shaft loads. All pumps are equipped with easily replaceable Viton mechanical seals.

Cool Beans Put The Chill On Watery Iced Coffee
Summer will be here before we know it and a lot of us will be trading in our steaming cup of cappuccino for an icier coffee fix. If you like to prepare fancy, chilled coffee drinks for yourself and your guests then you should take a look at Cool Beans from Fred and Friends.
This distinctive ice cube tray features molds in the shape of giant coffee beans. It is meant to be filled with brewed coffee and then frozen into coffee cubes. As all of us coffee addicts know, iced java is usually served over a glassful of regular ice cubes. The drink starts out rich, flavorful and delicious, but as the cubes melt it becomes watery and somewhat disappointing.
Normally you just have two choices; you can either slam back your beverage before you have a chance to really relax or you can take your time and ending up with a drink that is just a shadow of its former self. With some Cool Beans cubes in your cup you can keep your brew full of flavor and intensity.
The tray is made of durable, coffee-toned silicone and is completely dishwasher safe. | [

Head & Neck Case Review
A 19-year-old male presented for initial dental examination upon entering the armed forces. His medical history was non-contributory, and he was asymptomatic. Panoramic radiographic examination (below) revealed a radiolucency of the anterior mandible. The lesion was vaguely multilocular with a corticated and smooth border and crossed the midline. Mild clinical expansion was noted. An incisional biopsy was performed, and the findings are represented in the photomicrographs below.
Q1. This lesion is most often found in which area of the jaws?
- A. Anterior mandible
- B. Posterior mandible
- C. Anterior maxilla
- D. Posterior maxilla
Q2. The radiographic features in this case are suggestive of malignancy.
- A. True
- B. False
Q3. This tumor does not have a known association with Carney complex.
- A. True
- B. False
Odontogenic myxoma is a benign neoplasm derived from odontogenic ectomesenchyme. It is the third-most common odontogenic tumor, after odontoma and ameloblastoma. Patients are typically in their second or third decades of life at the time of diagnosis, but this tumor has been reported in patients of nearly all ages. Odontogenic myxomas are found exclusively in the gnathic bones. Two thirds of tumors are found in the mandible, with a predilection for the posterior regions. Myxomas of the maxilla tend to be destructive, obliterating the maxillary sinuses early in the disease process.
Clinically, patients may be asymptomatic or demonstrate painless swelling of the jaw. Odontogenic myxomas may cause marked expansion, and cortical perforation may occur. Radiographically, myxomas present as well-defined unilocular or multilocular radiolucencies. Some cases exhibit the classic radiologic feature: a soap-bubble appearance. Displacement and/or resorption of adjacent teeth occurs often. Cortication of the borders is seen on panoramic imaging, but myxomas are better visualized by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, because they diffusely infiltrate the surrounding bone.
Intraoperatively, a glistening grey to white mass is encountered. Tumor consistency is variable, depending on the ratio of collagen to myxoid ground substance present.
Histologically, odontogenic myxomas look similar to the dental papilla of a developing tooth. A hypocellular proliferation of delicate spindled cells in a myxoid background is characteristic. The cells are stellate with long cytoplasmic processes, and are regularly dispersed. Occasional odontogenic epithelial rests are identified in about 5% of cases, but this feature is not required for diagnosis. The matrix that supports the lesional cells is a myxoid ground substance, accompanied by a variable amount of collagen. If the collagenous component is prominent, the term “myxofibroma” may be applied, although there is no demonstrated difference in biologic behavior.
Immunohistochemically, the lesional cells of odontogenic myxoma are diffusely reactive with vimentin and focally reactive with smooth muscle actin. The ground substance is reactive with Alcian blue, and further investigation has demonstrated that it is composed mostly of the mucopolysaccharide, hyaluronic acid.
The differential diagnoses that should be considered include low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma, myxoid nerve sheath tumors, chondromyxoid fibroma, and other myxoid sarcomas. It is also important to note that dental pulp may look very much like a myxoma; so, clinical and radiographic correlation is essential. Odontogenic myxomas are not related to Carney complex, nor to other syndromes which include soft tissue myxomas. There is, however, an association between odontogenic myxomas and tuberous sclerosis, as well as Gorlin syndrome.
Due to the infiltrative margins of odontogenic myxomas, curettage is ineffective. These tumors necessitate resection with uninvolved margins. The recurrence rate for odontogenic myxomas is roughly 25%, and the risk of malignant transformation is nearly 0.

A lot of companies agree with that assessment, and are steadily lowering
the cost of ground solar until it becomes less than coal.
Thing is, it is possible to make incremental progress with ground based,
and use the funding from that to go further. Space based, the way you keep
presenting it, it's all or nothing, and unforeseen flaws or defects could
wreck the entire program: far riskier for the same end result. You need to
show how space based can be done incrementally, and preferably make profit
during those increments just like ground based does.
I know of at least one way to do this, but it starts with asteroid mining
(returning high value metals to Earth; no space manufacturing/added value
from being in orbit at first, until customers for in-orbit goods are
generated) and only later adds on export of power to Earth (after starting
with solar power for on site use, with panels just like most satellites
today - no new architectures - but somewhat bigger).

CALGARY, March 14 /CNW/ - Blackpool Exploration Ltd. participated for its
21.5% working interest in the drilling of a test well at Cecil in northwestern
Alberta. This test well directly offsets and is on trend with a gas producer
yielding 1.6 million cubic feet per day from a dolomitic reservoir in the
Triassic age Charlie Lake Formation. The Blackpool well encountered the same
Charlie Lake reservoir and was flow tested after completion at a stabilized
gas rate of approximately 600 thousand cubic feet per day. The well is
currently awaiting tie-in to a gas gathering and processing facility.
Production commencement is anticipated by April 15, 2007.

What Had Happened Was... (Aug. 26th-Sept. 1st, 2019)
A lightning fast weekly recap so you don't feel like an idiot on Monday
(Cinergy movie theater-Odessa, Texas)
Here’s a catch-up of the major events of the week of August 26, 2019. You can check in with a minimal time commitment, read about the big stuff and stay in the know before we’re on to the next. For me, this will always be the week that Donald Trump suggested we shoot nuclear bombs into hurricanes to stop them and his advisors giving him the obligatory “we’ll look into it.”
This week we had movement against major companies responsible for the opioid epidemic, a suspension of Parliament to help push Brexit through, Deutsche Bank covering for Trump, great news for Comey, Custom’s deporting sick immigrants and another mass shooting. There’s a lot to cover, let’s dig right in.
Landmark Opioid Ruling; Pressure on Perdue Pharma
On Monday, a judge in Oklahoma found that Johnson & Johnson was responsible for fueling Oklahoma’s opioid crisis and ordered restitution in the amount of $572 million to cover the fallout from the epidemic on the state and its residents. This award amount was substantially lower than the $17.5 billion over 30 years asked for by the plaintiffs to cover the estimated costs of treatment, emergency care, law enforcement, social services and other addiction-related needs.
“The opioid crisis has ravaged the state of Oklahoma and must be abated immediately. As a matter of law, I find that defendants’ actions caused harm, and those harms are the kinds recognized by [state law] because those actions annoyed, injured or endangered the comfort, repose, health or safety of Oklahomans.” — Cleveland County District Judge Thad Balkman, reading part of his decision aloud from the bench
Even though the recovery amount is lower than expected, this ruling is critical. It establishes a new legal precedent that will help future plaintiffs overcome the “public nuisance” standard in litigation that was previously an obstacle. This landmark decision is the first time the courts have found a drugmaker responsible for pharmaceutical fallout and will likely act as a model for the over 40 other states lined up to pursue similar claims against the industry.
The Sackler family, who built their wealth on their aggressive marketing scheme and sales of the widely abused painkiller OxyContin, are also attempting to negotiate a settlement with more than 2,000 cities, counties, states and individuals. The current proposal involves Purdue Pharma going into bankruptcy and the Sacklers being kicked out of the drug business altogether. They would additionally be required to contribute $3 billion (possibly more), depending on the sale price of Mundipharma, their international drug company in a payment to be distributed over seven years.
Critics of this deal cite the current valued worth of the Sackler family, which is estimated at $10 billion to $12 billion and the fact that a $3 billion payout would not be commensurate with the damages. Under this proposal the Sacklers would still retain much of their wealth and might be able to keep billions of dollars that they allegedly pulled out of the company. One major risk of not reaching a settlement is that Purdue will likely file bankruptcy, which could substantially devalue the company and place a $3 billion recovery at risk. Regardless, it appears that no one in the Sackler family will be going to jail over their actions and they will still be left with substantial wealth, meaning they will ultimately profit off of the crisis they created.
More than 400,000 people have died of overdoses from painkillers, heroin and illegal fentanyl since 1999.
Deutsche Bank Continues to Hide Trump’s Financial Secrets
On Tuesday, Deutsche Bank told a federal appeals court that it has Trump’s tax returns in its possession that were sought by Congress earlier this year that Trump has yet to turn over despite congressional subpoenas. Current and former bank officials claim Deutsche Bank has portions of Trump’s personal and corporate tax returns for multiple years. The bank has apparently amassed substantial financial data on Trump that it has collected over its two-decade relationship with him.
Deutsche Bank has been Trump’s primary lender for a long time and has previously stated that for most years, it only had the first several pages of his tax returns. But the bank now acknowledges that it possesses far more detailed financial data starting in 2011 that include balance sheets, financial statements and documents detailing the organization of Trump’s businesses.
The private banking division of Deutsche Bank that caters to its wealthy clients, struck up a relationship with Trump and his family and portions of his tax returns were shared widely with executives as the bank considered doing business with him. Other divisions of the bank expressed opposition to doing business with Trump because he had already defaulted on his debts to | [

In a highly-promoted appearance, legendary Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden went on ABC’s Good Morning America yesterday to announce that he had kept silent since 2007 about his diagnosis with prostate cancer.
First, let me say that I’ve always liked this guy. Funny. Charming. Coached teams that were fun to watch.
But that doesn’t make you an effective communicator on prostate cancer.
If you listen very carefully to the following clip (it took me 3 times watching the clip before I caught this), you’ll hear interviewer Robin Roberts rapidly mention that Bowden “is being compensated” for his appearance by “On the Line.”
“On the Line” is sponsored by several entities including two drug companies that make prostate cancer drugs and by Project Zero – whose executive made news on this blog recently by writing that Dr. Otis Brawley of the American Cancer Society “has killed more men by giving them an excuse to not be tested.”

A rumble of discontent is being heard across the dietary supplement industry since a draft guidance document was published last month by the US Food and Drug Administration. In response to the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act signed into law in January by President Obama, the FDA was required to produce documents requiring dietary supplement and foods companies to submit safety information on any new dietary ingredient (NDI) placed into products after 1994.
The guidance document is open for comments from industry but, when issued, a final rule will require dietary supplement products to file a claim of a New Dietary Ingredient (NDI) for any supplement component that was not part of the diet before 1994. What seems to be riling up the industry is that any change in supplement composition after 1994 will require filing of a NDI disclosure. That is, if you as a manufacturer add more DHA to your fish oil supplement, you have to file a NDI notification.
Stepping back, the goal of the FSMA makes perfect sense: Read more »

The Internet has revolutionized how we receive information – and it’s also changing how we learn about and manage our health. A new “ePatient” movement promises to empower patients with online and mobile tools – making it easier than ever to contact a physician, track health variables, and join a support group.
Four minutes isn’t much time to summarize an entire movement, and I think I got a little off topic while suggesting a new use case for David Hale’s NIH PillBox (a pill identifier tool). I said it could be used to identify pills even after your pet licked part of the label off them!
For more information about ePatients, check out my earlier blog post.
HIMSS 2010 is the largest Health IT conference of the year. I spent the last 3 days interviewing exhibitors in Atlanta about what’s hot in healthcare. For this segment I Skyped in to ABC News in DC to discuss some of the most interesting gadgets that I discovered during my interview process. The segment was short, so I only had the chance to present 3 devices: the Panasonic Tough Book, the GE Vscan, and Radar Find’s RFID tags.
Last night, ABC’s Private Practice took on the very challenging issue of teenage pregnancy in a story arc that began with last week’s show when 15 year old Maya announced to Addison that she was pregnant. The show well depicts the shock, the emotion and the difficulty of handling the pro-choice/pro-life discussion when a teenager is at the center of the discussion. It was a raw episode at times and in the end we are left with a 15 year old opting to keep her pregnancy. It’s tempting to criticize the writers for not focusing enough on Maya but, in truth, the show was more realistic than you may realize.
In the episode, Maya’s mom, Naomi, basically freaks out from the start. This pro-life mom first storms out of the room then tries to force an abortion onto her daughter. When that doesn’t work, she shows Maya a woman in labor only to have Maya entranced by the sight of a baby and determined to keep the pregnancy even more. The show concludes with Naomi leaving the building not talking to anyone, in tears. True to life? You bet. Read more »

From the acclaimed author of The Pencil and To Engineer Is Human, The Essential Engineer is an eye-opening exploration of the ways in which science and engineering must work together to address our world's most pressing issues, from dealing with climate change and the prevention of natural disasters to the development of efficient automobiles and the search for renewable energy sources.
While the scientist may identify problems, it falls to the engineer to solve them. It is the inherent practicality of engineering, which takes into account structural, economic, environmental, and other factors that science often does not consider, that makes engineering vital to answering our most urgent concerns.
Henry Petroski takes us inside the research, development, and debates surrounding the most critical challenges of our time, exploring the feasibility of biofuels, the progress of battery-operated cars, and the question of nuclear power. He gives us an in-depth investigation of the various options for renewable energy - among them solar, wind, tidal, and ethanol - explaining the benefits and risks of each. Will windmills soon populate our landscape the way they did in previous centuries? Will synthetic trees, said to be more efficient at absorbing harmful carbon dioxide than real trees, soon dot our prairies? Will we construct a sunshade in outer space to protect ourselves from dangerous rays? In many cases, the technology already exists. Whats needed is not so much invention as engineering.
Just as the great achievements of centuries past - the steamship, the airplane, the moon landin - once seemed beyond reach, the solutions to the 21st century's problems await only a similar coordination of science and engineering. Eloquently reasoned and written, The Essential Engineer identifies and illuminates these problems and, above all, sets out a course for putting ideas into action.
©2010 Henry Petroski (P)2010 Random House
"Far from being hostile toward science, Petroski pleads for continued cooperation between science and engineering. When, as Petroski laments, even President Obama has sometimes omitted engineering in touting science, this book could hardly be more timely." (Publishers Weekly)
someone who is obsessed with the idea that engineers don't get respect
at least the first half.
this guy is completely obsessed with the idea that engineers don't get enough respect, and goes on and on about how sometimes engineers are called scientists and vice versa. it is un-listenable. i couldn't finish it, as he just talks for hours about this one completely uninteresting point.
was comprehensive on Engineering. An eye opener for the curious engineer out in the world.
"I love this book..."
I love this book because of how well written, informative and excited way Doctor Petroski puts the issues forth. His books always get me thinking of engineering issues I never would have thought of before I have read his book. I love all of his books.
"Thank an engineer today"
I think Mr. Petroski makes the important point that much of society credits science/scientists with all the advances of technology, but technological advances are primarily the realm of engineers.
I had to go look at the Webster definition of "engineer." It said something about applying science. But engineers also apply math as routinely as they do science. It's a shortcoming in siciety due to the subjects available through high school.

Over the past week, the international oil companies such as Shell, Total, Chevron, Exxon Mobil, and BP have successively released their first-quarter earnings reports. The overall performance has been dazzling. These international oil companies had achieved their business performance basically at the oil price of US$80 to US$100 per barrel in 2014 when the international oil price range of US$65 to US$70 per barrel.
In the first quarter, Shell achieved a profit of 5.7 billion U.S. dollars, a year-on-year increase of 42%. This level was previously achieved from the second quarter of 2014 to the third quarter. Statoil achieved the highest level of profit in the first quarter of the four-year period. The first-quarter profits of companies such as BP, Total and Chevron also reached or approached the profit level at the end of 2014 when the oil price was 80 US dollars per barrel.
The cash flow is a vital indicator which can reflect the operating quality of oil companies and the future sustainable development. ExxonMobil’s cash flow from operations and asset sales of the first quarter reached to $10 billion, which is the highest level since 2014. Some market analysts pointed out that the “steady” cash flow performance has increased much confidence to market investors. The cash flow of other major oil companies in the first quarter was also flat or slightly higher.
The return of first-quarter performance was faster than the recovery of oil prices, which to a certain extent reflected the increase in the competitiveness of major international oil companies. The performance reports mentioned several reasons at the same time: the recovery of crude oil prices and natural gas prices, the optimization of asset allocation, the improvement of operating efficiency, and efforts to reduce costs and expenditures. The latter ones are all derived from the practice of low oil prices.
In the past four years, the international oil companies have maintained their development and focused their efforts on building advantageous areas. Operational costs have been reduced by 30%, and investment in various types of innovative technologies and applications have greatly improved operating efficiency.
The agility and elasticity of the strategic adjustment of the international oil companies are worthy of attention in the first quarter. Take the upstream as an example. Except for the slight decrease of Exxon Mobil production, the major international oil companies have rebounded significantly from the oil and gas production. Those measurements - acquisitions of new blocks, reopening of the old oil fields, and exploration into the deep sea etc. have provided support for production recovery.
This year, Chevron, Shell, Total and other companies have ushered in the turning point. As oil prices continue to strengthen, fields adjust their strategies timely and the profit effect is quickly reflected in the performance report.
China's domestic major oil companies have not yet completely reversed the decline in their production in the first quarter. The performance is still far from the era of high oil prices. The flexibility of foreign strategic adjustments is worth considering.
Zhang Weizhong, director of the China Petroleum Economic Research Institute - Institute of Development Strategy, believes that current international oil company earnings growth is higher than expected, but with the further rise in oil prices, structural costs will increase, its growth rate will slow down. Domestic oil companies need to make rigorous research and judgments, accurately grasp market trends, adjust investment strategies, and focus on current upstream asset mergers and acquisitions markets to seize the window of profitability of different businesses in the industry chain. | [

Tens of thousands of Londoners and hundreds of thousands of people worldwide took to the streets on Sunday to raise awareness of climate change as part of a global initiative which has been deemed the largest environmental demonstrations ever seen.
London’s version of The People’s Climate March, which was organised by environmental organisations and NGOs, set off at Temple, continuing through the capital and passing the Department of Energy and Climate Change building and Whitehall. The organisers said after the events that an estimated 30,000 people showed up for the London parade and more than 400,000 in New York, which is about 3-4 times more than expected and that 2808 solidarity events took place in 166 countries around the world.
Young and old, celebrities, tourists, people from all kinds of backgrounds (and even the odd dog), all joined in to shout about the same cause. And although parts of the parade resembled the Notting Hill Carnival – with people flocking around lorries blasting out loud dance music – the heart of the matter was apparent from the placards and banners: action must be taken to tackle climate change.
Celebrity speakers such as Vivienne Westwood, Emma Thompson and Richard Chartres the Bishop of London, who made a commitment not to fly in over a year, joined the march and wowed the masses who had managed to make it to Westminster in time for the talks – at this time there were still protestors all the way back not far from the starting point in Temple waiting eagerly to join the party.
Actress Emma Thompson, who recently went to the Arctic with Greenpeace together with her daughter Gaia – who also joined her mum in the march – said climate change is the human rights issue of all time: “On the walls of the Arctic, the writing is very clear: climate change is written on the valleys, where 80 meters up, you can see the water mark where the glaciers used to be. And standing beneath them were glaciologists who’ve been there for 30 years, with tears in their eyes, saying: ‘To you it’s beautiful, but to us it feels like a graveyard’.“
Designer Vivienne Westwood, a long-time climate activist, attended the march. She said: “For two hundred years we in the privileged world have believed in the capitalist system, and it’s now come to an end, because it’s run on fossil fuels and they’re running out. It’s now the end of capitalism which is a structure designed to create poverty. We really can see this now, it’s become very clear to us that we believe it’s a very terrible thing.
“We must talk about it. This is an overview, but the nearest overview is that we don’t have any democracy. Because this triad of banks, monopolies and government is desperate to keep it going. And they have resorted to extremes which make it even more dangerous. One example is fracking. So, there is no democracy, the governments do what they like.”
“They don’t care about people. In fact people are dispensable and so we don’t have anybody in the main parties to vote for. They are all the same. We have to fight government. One last thing is, there is a way out: What’s good for the planet is good for the economy. What’s bad for the planet is bad for the economy. And what’s good for the planet and the economy is good for people and what’s good for people is the way out of our difficulties.”
Alice Hooker-Stroud who works on a project called Zero Carbon Britain at the Centre for Alternative Technology, said that we already have all we need to create a zero carbon economy with 100 percent clean energy and that we need to find the ability to imagine an alternative future to get there.
“We all know that our current efforts to tackle climate change are not enough. If you look at the kind of future that we are heading for, even with current emission reduction in place globally, it’s a future that’s 3-4, maybe more degrees celsius more than today. And I used to work in climate science, so I’ve spent quite a long time looking at exactly what that future looks like, and quite frankly it’s just depressing. I don’t want to talk about it, let alone live in it.”.
That alternative future needs drastic change as business as usual is not a possible future, she says and it is not going to be easy – but it can be done:
“When we look at what we need to do to tackle climate change, we need much more than an eighty percent reduction by 2050. We need at least net zero greenhouse gas emissions, basically ASAP. We proved that this is possible, using only currently available technology. Technologically, there is no reason for less ambitious action than this. There is no reason not | [

The First State Bank of Humboldt
Mark Baldwin, Jr.
Since the first man walked upon the earth he
had depended upon other people to fulfill his needs. At first, all he had to
"pay” for needed goods was something he had in multitude, like
venison, furs, etc. Then, a few hundred years before the time of Christ,
someone found that he could use something that was of value to all. At first it
may have been just pebbles or pretty rocks, but it finally lead to a coin made out
of metal. (Paper money was used at a very early time in
The banks were often the "key" to settling a given area. It helped the farmers with financial problems until their farms began to show some profit. The First State Bank of Humboldt was no exception. Edward Florance, (widely known as Ted) can be considered the founder of” Our" bank.
In 1880, Ted's father came down from
Well, the great day came at last. The day
that the First State Bank at Humboldt opened its doors. The date,
The bank, - well for that matter, everyone was busy on Saturday night. This was the one time that people of the locality came into town to trade and socialize. They visited in the stores, on the streets, the lumber yard, filling stations, cafe, and blacksmith shop. There was usually a dance going on somewhere where they could go for enjoyment. It was on Saturday night that many farmers brought their cream to town and cashed their checks. These checks amounted anywhere from $1.50 to $5.00.Imagine, if you will, Humboldt on Saturday night, everyone having a” Gay Ole Time."
Ted Florance's biggest test was about to
befall him: THEDEPRESSION. During the depression many banks failed, but with
some goodluck and because of his great money mind he was able to save the First
State Bank of Humboldt from closing its doors to the public. The depression brought
hard times to all, but having a stable financial establishment at hand eased
some of the hardship. By the end of the depression the First State Bank of
Humboldt was the only one out of seventeen in
During the early 30's, the prices of farm products fell so low that many farmers had mortgages on their land and equipment foreclosed and were forced out of business. A great deal of the land was taken over by mortgage and investment companies. In many instances, the original owner was kept on the land as a renter and after prices and conditions generally improved bought his land back.
At harvest time, one of those years the prices of barley was 25 cents a bushel,-- other grains comparably low: Some of the farmers who could, decided to keep their grain and feed it to pigs, cattle and sheep, hoping to get better prices for their grain through feeding it to livestock and found that after selling their animals they not only got no more for their grain but lost their work besides. There were few granaries in the country in those days and most farmers had to sell at harvest time or during the interval that the elevator could hold it. The bank helped many of them out.
During the early 1930's, Maurice, oldest son of Ted Florance, was mostly in charge of the bank and seemed to have most to do with its management. He then lived in what was known as the Jim Florance house across the tracks on the site where the Virgil Bockwitz house now stands. When Maurice bought the Hill farm at Northcote and moved there it was his home until he sold his interests here and left this locality.
Meantime, Mrs. Stella Moore had joined the staff in the bank. She was a sister of Mrs. John Easter who still lives in Humboldt next to the Methodist church. Stella was employed by the bank until her death not too many years ago.
While in the banking business, Maurice acquired a great amount of farm land and while he lived in Humboldt kept his equipment on what is now the Bockwitz farm. The old barn, now expanded and converted to an elevator was large enough to hold 125 horses. Various other buildings have been torn down and moved away.
The large blue house next to the railroad tracks on the west was built by Ted Florance and occupied by his family for a number of years, then sold it to Tom Brown who was also a director of the bank. He operated a large lumber yard on the spot where the Warren Isley's now have their home. After Tom's death his son Don, and his family lived in it. Don ran the filling station and had the oil and gas business until he accidentally shot himself some years ago. Since that time Dennis Diamond and his family are living there.

The major Indian cities has witnessed drop in under construction property inventory in past seven years with the fresh housing starts have lately trailed sales, Axis Capital report stated. As per the report, Pune has topped the list as the best market in India in volume terms which is followed by Hyderabad and Mumbai that have registered the largest inventory decline.
The Report further stated “the credit crisis that began in FY18-19 accelerated the pace of consolidation and benefitted grade-A developers more. As unsold inventory at under-construction projects decline, we expect developers to step up launches again from FY23”. Pune came out as the largest market with lowest inventory levels of unsold inventory while MMR’s, especially Mumbai, inventory months have lowered by nearly a half. The age of unsold inventory in Pune is near to 15 months which indicates that all housing units launched before 15 months have been sold out. Mumbai on the other hand has seen the inventory months reduced from 40 to close to 20 in the last 5-6 months.
NCR lagged on both the parameters. Sumeet Abrol, Partner-Lead Advisory, Grant Thornton Bharat, said “The onset of RERA, post 2018, initiated the process of consolidation in the sector, leading to buyers being more aware and confident of the projects. Last few years also saw muted demand, leading to a fall in the number of new project launches across the markets”.
The focus of developers was to sell under construction properties instead of fresh housing. Pankaj Bansal, Director of M3M said “We focused on selling our under-construction projects; this segment moved very fast for us. Our focus remained on timely delivery of the projects to our customers”.
Inventory levels in realty markets such Mumbai, Pune and Thane are registered at decadal low. Banglore was found to be above two years of inventory but it saw drop in sales consistently. | [

The enjoyment of LGBTIQ* rights varies across Europe. As a result, rainbow families in Europe (families where a child has at least one parent who identifies themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, intersex or queer) can face problems with recognition of civil status, birth registration and access to birth certificates, leaving some children in these families either stateless or at risk of statelessness. The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) will now have an opportunity to address this issue in a case concerning a child born to same-sex parents in Spain, for which a hearing is due to take place next week.
On 2 October 2020, the Administrative Court of the City of Sofia in Bulgaria requested a preliminary ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in the case C-490/20 V.M.A. v. Stolichna Obsthina, Rayon ‘Pancharevo’ (Sofia municipality, ‘Pancharevo’ district), concerning the recognition of a birth certificate mentioning two women as parents in order to get proof of nationality.
In its first-ever decision on the right to nationality, issued in late December, the UN Human Rights Committee calls on the Netherlands to enact a framework for addressing statelessness that puts human rights first.
Traditionally understudied by scholars of social policy, migration and territorial politics, the rescaling of socio-economic and cultural policies to the subnational level has, combined with decentralisation reforms, turned immigrant integration, encompassing the socio-economic, cultural-religious and legal-political realms, into a competence of sub-national authorities.
After the last amendment, that took place in 2018, the Portuguese Nationality Act was revised once again on the 10th November 2020. These amendments involve a major revision of the basic principles of the Portuguese Nationality Law.
A UK citizen who has been living in France for 36 years has brought a case to the Court of Justice of the European Union that could have profound implications for British people living in European countries after Brexit. The woman is hoping to retain some citizenship rights after she ceases to be a European citizen.
This is a summary of a report that aims to comment
on and review existing law and policy on statelessness in India. It
is divided into three chapters – Status, Detention and SocioEconomic Rights.
Overseas US voters might make a difference, not only in the 2020 presidential race, but in at least one close Senatorial race. They vote in 50 different states, not voting in one single constituency but may, even so, tip close elections.
This contribution discusses the infringement proceedings launched by the European Commission against Malta and Cyprus regarding their investor citizenship programmes. It critically discusses the arguments of the Commission that these programmes are incompatible with EU law, and in particular the essence of EU citizenship and the principle of sincere cooperation.
Damache concerned a constitutional challenge to s.19 of the Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act 1956 (‘the 1956 Act’). This section outlined the statutory process the executive branch – acting through the Minister for Justice (‘the Minister’) – had to follow before revoking a certificate of naturalisation. The Supreme Court of Ireland held that the fact the executive both initiated the proposal to revoke and made the final decision to confirm or dismiss it, was contrary to fair procedures. | [

At Gilbert Park, staff members make a concerted effort to emphasize the importance of spending time connecting as a family.In fact, Gilbert Park even maintains a formal written policy that “after school is a time for reading, family time and being physically active.” “There’s no worries about turning in homework; the kids just have to worry about their classwork,” Utz continues.
“We had a conversation about being thoughtful about homework and not ever using homework as a punishable offense,” said Lincoln Park Elementary principal Rebecca Chase.
“However, we have not gone away from homework completely.
In 2005, academic researchers David Baker and Gerald Le Tendre published National Differences, Global Similarities: World Culture and the Future of Schooling, a comprehensive study on schooling around the word.
Their most consistent finding was that countries that assigned the most homework — such as Greece and Thailand — had some of the lowest test scores, while countries with the least homework — such as Japan and Denmark — had some of the highest.
Additionally 61 percent of its students are of color, making it one of the most diverse schools in the entire Portland metro area.
Many of its parents faced difficulties in helping their kids with homework due to language barriers or other stressors, and administrators felt families might benefit more from positive time together than homework.When Cherry Park’s announcement was made, The Oregonian’s comment section was ablaze with criticism, much of it regarding what some saw as the school “giving up” and “catering to the lowest common denominator” amid a climate of budget cuts and frustration over teacher shortages.Harris Cooper, chair of the department of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University and author of the book The Battle Over Homework, points out in a New York Times op-ed that “…Patty Utz, a student-achievement specialist and former fifth-grade teacher at Gilbert Park Elementary, about 3 miles south of Cherry Park, agrees a no-homework policy makes sense in a district like David Douglas, with families speaking more than 30 different languages.“I think it relieves family stress both for parents that end up having to fight with their kids about doing homework and our families that don’t speak English,” she says.Tiffany Brandel is the mother of a fourth grader at one such school: Willamette Primary in West Linn.West Linn, a westside suburb, is a world away from both Gilbert Park and Cherry Park.“There have been a few parents who have come and requested that they’d want to have homework for their children,” she says.“We offer at the beginning, that if you do want your children to have homework, we would be happy to provide those resources.” Given the enthusiastic reception of parents and administrators alike after a year-long test drive, Oregonians shouldn’t necessarily be surprised if more schools next year look into giving homework the heave-ho.’ it immediately creates stress, whereas asking about their day or something they learned doesn’t.” Kate Barker, Cherry Park Elementary’s principal, has no regrets after her school’s first complete year of no homework, which she describes as fantastic.“I think it was the right decision; we’ve had very positive feedback from parents and teachers and the community,” she says. | [

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
In a large bowl, add ground turkey, egg yolk, finely chopped onion, coconut flour, paprika, salt, pepper and a pinch of cayenne. With your hands, mix until well combined. Divide mixture into 18 portions and shape into balls. Place meatballs on prepared baking sheet, about an inch apart and bake for 15 minutes.
While meatballs are baking, make the sauce. In another large bowl, add apple cider vinegar, paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, a pinch of cayenne and 3 tablespoons of hot water, whisk to combine. If sauce is too thick, add additional tablespoons of hot water one at a time to reach desired consistency.
Remove meatballs from oven and add to the bowl of sauce, toss gently to coat. Serve meatballs garnished with thinly sliced scallions and Ranch Dressing on the side.
Directions for Ranch Dressing
Combine all ingredients in a small bowl, whisk to combine, serve. Store unused dressing in a covered container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days.

Are you worried about how drinking caffeine might impact your breastfeeding baby? It’s a common concern among new moms. After all, when you’ve been awake all night trying to calm a crying baby, who doesn’t need a little extra energy?
But is there any truth to the idea that your beloved caffeinated drinks could harm you or your baby while breastfeeding? Let’s dive into this matter and get some answers.
Can Breastfeeding Moms Drink Caffeine?
The answer to your question is a straightforward “yes.” However, it’s worth considering the amount of caffeine you consume before indulging in that extra-large coffee. It’s important to be mindful of the quantity because a small percentage of the caffeine in your system can be transferred to your baby during breastfeeding.
The reaction of your baby to caffeine can vary based on several factors, including:
- Age of your baby.
- Weight of your baby.
- Amount of breast milk your baby consumes.
- The overall health of your baby.
- Type of caffeinated beverage you choose.
To determine the impact of caffeine consumption on your baby, the best course of action is to observe their reaction when you consume any form of it. Monitoring their response will provide a clearer understanding of how caffeine affects them.
The Risks of Caffeine While Breastfeeding
If you consume caffeine while breastfeeding, it’s important to be aware that it can potentially affect your baby.
If your baby is sensitive to caffeine, they may exhibit similar reactions to those experienced by adults who consume caffeine. Look out for the following signs:
- Difficulty sleeping.
- Unusual alertness and hyperactivity.
- Fussiness, particularly after breastfeeding.
- Exaggerated responses to minimal stimulation.
Additionally, regular and excessive caffeine consumption may impact your breast milk’s nutritional properties. Some studies suggest a possible link between consuming caffeinated beverages and decreased iron levels in breast milk.
Iron is a crucial nutrient in breast milk, easily absorbed by your baby and tailored to their needs. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends iron supplementation for babies from 4 months of age until they begin consuming iron-rich solid foods. Consuming excessive caffeine and further depleting your breast milk’s iron levels could put your baby at risk of iron deficiency or anemia.
Are Some Caffeine Sources Safer?
Caffeine seems to be everywhere these days. It’s present in our regular coffee, decaf coffee, sodas, chocolate, energy drinks, and even in chewing gum and mints. It’s worth examining these common sources of caffeine and determining whether they are safe for you and your baby.
When it comes to caffeine content, soda generally contains less caffeine compared to coffee. A typical 12-ounce can of soda contains around 50 milligrams of caffeine. However, it’s advisable to moderate your intake and limit yourself to two or three sodas per day.
It’s important to note that soda often includes other ingredients that could potentially be harmful, such as sugar. While sugar doesn’t directly affect breast milk, it can lead to energy crashes, which can be counterproductive to your goal of seeking an energy boost.
For numerous mothers, a morning cup of coffee is a true savior. However, the question arises: How much coffee is safe for a breastfeeding mother?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, limiting coffee intake to a maximum of 300 milligrams per day while breastfeeding an infant is recommended. This is roughly equivalent to three cups of standard brewed coffee.
If you’re concerned about your coffee consumption and its potential effects, you might want to explore a line of coffee blends specifically designed for moms. These blends are formulated with lower acidity and caffeine content than regular coffee, providing a more suitable option for breastfeeding mothers.
3. Energy Drinks
Regarding breastfeeding women, it’s advisable to steer clear of energy drinks. These beverages typically contain higher caffeine levels than coffee, and their formulas are often more concentrated, often including additional herbs or additives that may pose risks.
Furthermore, if you’re already taking vitamins or supplements, consuming energy drinks can potentially lead to vitamin toxicity, which is something to avoid. It’s best to prioritize safer alternatives and be cautious about the potential risks associated with energy drinks while breastfeeding.
Among caffeinated beverages, tea has relatively lower caffeine levels, making it a viable option for breastfeeding moms to consume regularly without significant risks.
In fact, there are specially formulated lactation teas available that cater specifically to breastfeeding moms, aiming to support healthy breast milk production and lactation. Some notable examples include:
Additionally, many tea brands offer caffeine-free blends, ensuring that you can enjoy your warm cup of tea in the morning without any concerns about caffeine intake. So, go ahead and savor your favorite tea without worry!

How easy is it to write a novel organically? Is it as simple as sitting down with a pen and paper, or your laptop and hoping the words will flow? Or is there more to it? Read on to learn word about writing organically.
There are two types of writers. First, there are Plotters who create detailed outlines, define their characters, and create their world before they ever begin to write their books. Then there are Pantsers, who write organically or by the seat of their pants.
There are also some people who use a combination of the two. They write an outline and then go in whatever direction their story pulls them.
What Famous Authors Write Organically?
Here is a list of famous authors that write organically (pantsers):
– Dean Koontz
– Diana Gabaldon
– Ernest Hemingway
– George R.R. Martin
– Harper Lee
– Isaac Asimov
– Margaret Atwood
– Mark Twain
– Neil Gaiman
– Stephen King
This is a pretty impressive list of writers who write without an outline.
Writing Without an Outline
In public school, they taught us to outline before writing our first draft. This frightens some writers who find the process too structured.
For some people like me, our minds work organically, and we can only create our stories when our imagination is free to roam. If your mind works better without structure, this might be the best way to tackle your first novel.
Writing a novel is actually imagination transformed into words. First, you close your eyes and let your thoughts drift while creating a web of consequential ideas which you either write down or dictate to a recording device.

If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.
Start With a Character
Try starting with your primary character. Then close your eyes, grab your notebook and computer and brainstorm. Think about what the character wants and needs, the setting, or a relationship they have. Throw them into a situation with conflict.
Then all you’ll need to do is let go, give total control to an imaginary character who lives in your head, listen to what she or he says, and start writing! Give them superpowers… put them in strange places… complicate their lives… the conditions are limitless.
Follow your main character around, writing down their thoughts, words, and actions as they move from scene to scene. Suddenly, other characters will appear, events will happen and exciting subplots will emerge.
Start With an Idea
If starting with a character doesn’t work for you, start with an idea. Let’s say that you are starting with a spaceship that is far from home. It collides with something that disables its engines. Your character gets badly hurt trying to fix the engines. Starting with these sequences of events, let your mind wander and produce succeeding events.
Once you have the initial idea, sink down into it and allow yourself to be absorbed completely. Then, string together a stream of spontaneous ideas.
Does someone help them? Do they perform a medical procedure on themselves? Do they fix the engine? How does it affect them, not just physically but emotionally and psychologically?
This is where an avalanche of new ideas forms and writing becomes easier. This is when the story writes itself and all you have to do is record the words as the story reveals itself in your head.
Time stands still when you are in this state. Words keep coming to you until you suddenly realize that you’ve not only written one or two pages but five or more without even knowing it!
Ideas are like rabbits. You get a couple and learn how to handle them, and pretty soon you have a dozen.
― John Steinbeck
So you have started writing using a character or an idea. What’s next?
Bad First Drafts
All first drafts are terrible. The purpose of a first draft is to get all your ideas down in one place.
Once you are done with the first draft you’ll be able to figure out the direction you need to go. You’ll know what scenes you need to expand or eliminate. How much more detail you’ll need to add to your story. How much you’ll need to dig into your characters. And more.
This is when you can add details you didn’t stop to research when you were writing. For example, if your character is a witch, you might need to research spells or pagan rituals. Just make sure the information occurs naturally within the flow of the storyline. Go through your first draft again, then see if you can find a Beta Reader to read your draft and give their impression of your story.

Are you a business owner in York?
Promote your business 365 days a year with the #1 Guide to York.
- Gain MAXIMUM EXPOSURE with a 'Dedicated Business Profile'
- Dive deep into the story of the star of the hit musical Hamilton in NYC’s most historic neighborhood
- Pay your respects at Hamilton’s gravesite located in one of the most historic churchyards in town
- Discover the origins of the New York Stock Exchange and Wall Street’s many other financial institutions

DescriptionWith the success of the hit musical Hamilton, this tour is to help people understand how an illegitimate immigrant finds his way to New York, remakes himself, and becomes one of the most brilliant, charismatic, and controversial founding fathers! Walk in the footsteps of Alexander Hamilton through New York City’s oldest neighborhood, the financial district, and discover how this famous New Yorker has his fingerprints on nearly every landmark these streets have to offer. The adventure begins at Trinity Church, where Hamilton was buried as a result of one of the darkest days in American political history. Learn how Hamilton arrived in America on the eve of a revolution and quickly became one of the most influential minds of his day, only to be shot dead before his 50th birthday. Stop by Zuccotti Park and uncover how more recent revolutionary movements like Occupy Wall Street trace their roots to Hamilton’s ambitious plans for American prosperity. Next, learn how Hamilton’s role as America’s first Secretary of the Treasury ultimately led to the creation of the New York Stock Exchange. Across the street sits Federal Hall, where Hamilton looked on as George Washington was sworn in as the nation's’ first president and where he served in the first cabinet. Then check out the two Wall Street skyscrapers that still stand as reminders of the epic feud between Hamilton and Burr, one emblazoned with the name of one of our more recent politicians and local celebrities, Donald Trump. Finally, you make your way down the first paved street in New York City to one of the oldest bars in town where Hamilton himself used to drink with George Washington, and you raise your own glass to freedom and to Hamilton. Along the entire route you will discover not only Hamilton’s history in New York but also how he came to epitomize the American Dream, created the modern world you live in today, inspired many of our wealthy leaders who continue to shape the city and world, and finally, how he wrestled with the questions of wealth, privilege, and power in ways that are just as relevant today as they were in the 1700s.

Storm Antoni in pictures as amber alert danger to life weather hits UK
The forecast is 70mph winds, 15C temperatures and 40mm of rain
A danger to life warning has been issued as Storm Antoni hits parts of the UK, bringing heavy rain and strong winds.
Falling trees, riptides and inadequate building structures are some of the dangers people should look out for on Saturday during the amber wind warning, the Met Office said.
The amber warning, which indicates flying debris is possible and could lead to injuries or danger to life, is in place for southwestern areas of both England and Wales until 7pm.
Meanwhile a yellow warning for “unseasonably windy weather” is in place for southern parts of the UK until 8pm and a yellow thunderstorm warning has been issued until 10pm for south east England and East Anglia.
And a yellow rain warning has been issued until 4pm on Saturday covering south east Scotland.
An amber warning means there is an increased likelihood of impacts from severe weather and people should consider changing plans and taking action to protect themselves and their property.
Met Office meteorologist Tom Morgan said the storm, which is the first to be named by the Met Office this season, could see winds of up to 70mph on the coast and 60mph inland. | [

Innovation: Strategy for Growth and Development.
In: Nigerian Institute of Industrial Engineers, 22 April 2010, Ibadan, Nigeria.
The discipline of innovation has been defined by Peter Drucker as the means by which the entrepreneur either creates new wealth producing resource or endows existing resource with enhanced potential for creating wealth.
This paper examines the discipline of innovation from various perspective – corporate, personal, inter-personal, behavioural and scientific. After examining the sources of innovation and showing that ideation and innovation are not synonymous, it discusses a pragmatic approach that encourages growth and development especially in a developing economy

On the West coast of New Zealand, North of Auckland you will find a state highway like no other…miles and miles of golden sand surrounded by waves of the Abel Tasman crashing over bluffs sticking out from the shoreline and gigantic sand dunes, not another human in sight apart from the odd car, as much as in awe as you.
This unusual ‘highway’ follows all NZ road rules and was created by farmers who drove their cattle up and down Northland before State Hwy 1 was built in the centre of the reigion. What a way to travel to work everyday hey?!
Many locals fish on the beach as it serves as their daily trip to the supermarket. Therefore NZ governement has decreed that only those living in the area may fish…no fish, no dinner!
The beach ends at Scott’s Point - 5km south of Cape Maria Van Diemen - named by the Dutch voyager Abel Tasman after the governor’s wife in the Dutch East Indies in 1643. It is at the top of the island, just off the cape, that the first Cape Reinga light was was signalled from1878-1940.
In 1941 the light was moved to
its current position - on the most northernly point of NZ and remained manned for a further 46years. It is now positoned close the the meeting point of the Abel Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean.
For Maori these turbulent waters are where the male sea ‘Te Moana Tapokopoko a Tawhaki’ meets the female sea ‘Te Tai o Whitirela’. The whirlpools created when the seas join are like those that dance in the wake of a waka (canoe). They represent the coming together of male and female - the creation of life

Welcome to the Health Design Network
The health sciences: medicine, nursing, pharmacy, public health, and other related areas, are more conscious of the contributions that design can make, and there is a growing need for designers to acquire or further develop the knowledge and skills required in this domain.
The scope of the Network is to connect designers and health care professionals working, teaching and/or researching in the health design intersection, and to create a database of case studies and other relevant information in the field. The Health Design Network is supported by the International Institute for Information Design (IIID).
There is a need for interdisciplinary collaborations that would integrate design and health to make sure that health design proposals are realistic, contextualized, a high priority to address, and based on evidence, so that we are able to respond effectively to the complex and ever changing demands of health systems.
If you want to become a member of the Network, please send us an email. Membership is free, but you are expected to be active in the field of health design.

The narrative nonfiction book, The Death of an Heir: Adolph Coors III and the Murder That Rocked an American Brewing Dynasty, was recently published by St. Martin’s Press, an imprint of Macmillan Publishers Ltd, one of the “Big 5” publishers in the world. It is available primarily in the United States, Great Britain, and Canada at various outlets, such as Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Books-a-Million.
The Death of an Heir: Adolph Coors III and the Murder that Rocked an American Brewing Dynasty is a narrative nonfiction book that details the kidnapping and murder of Adolph Coors III, 44-year-old CEO and Chairman of the Coors Brewing Company and grandson of its founder. There also is an insert of 32 photos of Adolph Coors III, the perpetrator, the crime scene, evidence, and the trial. You can find an excerpt at Macmillan Publishing.
I am very proud of the investigative research process. I was extremely patient and methodical retrieving all facts that were discoverable. I interviewed the prosecutor and assistant prosecutor, a defense attorney, an assistant to Adolph Coors III for many years, a deputy sheriff, and others. I obtained contemporaneous newspaper accounts from the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post as well as other newspapers and magazines. I am particularly proud of the fact that I retrieved the 700-page FBI report after three years of wrangling with the FBI and the National Archives and Records Administration. Most of all, I am proud that I located the long-lost murder trial transcript after almost four years of intensive searching. The publisher of the book called my research efforts “amazing.”
Definitely. A reader will be drawn into the story and want to read more. This is not intended to be a textbook lesson. I employ literary techniques commonly found in fiction to bring the nonfiction story to life, such as the use of scenes and dialogue, peppered with actual quotes to make the story rise from the page... or HD screen. It will read much like a novel, yet will be completely accurate.
If you enjoy true crime told in a suspenseful manner with short chapters that move you about in many directions rather than chronologically and that leaves you at the end of each chapter wanting to know more, then this book is for you. It’s an American tragedy that focuses on the wife and family of the kidnap victim while enlisting you into the FBI to identify and apprehend the genius kidnapper who takes the FBI on an international manhunt and remains elusive for several months before finally succumbing to capture.
It is a narrative nonfiction work of the same style as The Death of an Heir about the kidnapping and murder of another high-profile person that has not been written about in book form. It’s a harrowing story of suspense, greed, and cruelty. I know you'll enjoy it. | [

Verification of the robustness of an Image Correlation software – a collaboration with SAMWELL Testing Inc.
The quality of displacement fields measurements using digital image correlation depends on many factors which can be:
- Internal to the software (implementation of the algorithm, shape functions used for describing displacements, image interpolation method…);
- External to the software (quality of the speckle pattern, resolution of cameras, quality of calibration, …)
In order to validate the robustness of a digital image correlation software algorithm, it is interesting to compare the results of the software with other reference measurements obtained independently but under identical test conditions (same external factors to the software).
The comparison can be made over the entire displacement field with another digital image correlation software or in a localized area with a physical sensor.
To compare EikoTwin DIC results with other gauges, a test has been run in the Samwell Testing Inc. test lab. This test involved studying the bending of a cantilever slab screwed on a rigid support. The loading is applied on the center hole and is incremented by 7.8g at each new image (see Figure 1).
The test was instrumented with a stereo-correlation digital image device with two 12 MP cameras (4000×3000 resolution). It was also instrumented with a dial gauge and a non-contact displacement sensor measuring the displacements at the same position (see Figure 2).
In order to be able to compare all the results, it is necessary to create both digital image correlation software numerical sensors at the same position as the two physical sensors (see Figure 3).
After post-processing images with both software, the normal displacement to the surface of the part measured at the location of the fictive sensors was exported.
The displacements measured during the test by the two physical and DIC sensors can now be compared (see Figure 4).
The displacement results obtained with the EikoTwin DIC software are surrounded by the results obtained by the two physical sensors. This confirms the robustness of the algorithm used in the EikoTwin DIC software for this test. The maximum deviation measured in normal displacement of the EikoTwin DIC software with the reference software is 15 μm, with the non-contact displacement sensor 18 μm and with the dial gauge 19 μm.
The next step in this study could be a comparison with simulation. Since the results are measured directly on the FE mesh with the EikoTwin DIC software, this comparison will be much faster and easier to achieve than with standard stereo-correlation software.
In this case, a tedious post-processing step involving frame coordinate system transformation of the measured displacements would be necessary.
In addition, by using EikoTwin DIC combined with physical sensors, the sensors repositioning relative to the mesh will be easier than using traditional image correlation software (see Figure 4). Finally, the simulation model can be updated using the measurement obtained with the EikoTwin Digital Twin software.
To further validate the software’s robustness, other more complex tests could be conducted (multiaxial loading, large displacements, dynamic loading, etc.). Similarly, the comparison could also be extended to strain fields, by comparing the values measured by Digital Image Correlation with the values measured by a strain gauge, in order to compare software performances for this second metric. | [

Alaska saw its first 80F degree day on Saturday, as Ketchikan hit the mark. Juneau hit 76F degrees, which was a record high for the date, and Fairbanks saw 70F degrees for the first time on Saturday.
The warm air mass brought 80F degrees into Alaska’s Interior on Sunday, which made for the years’s first 80 degree day for Fairbanks. This is four weeks earlier than the average first 80 degree day. It is the second earliest on record.
Sitka and Yakutat also saw high temps on Mother’s Day.
90F degrees is not in the forecast for Monday.

I'm starting to think that September sunrises are some of the best. Timehop was reminding me of the pictures I took last year and these two pictures have captured two glorious days.
I feel very spoiled to witness these magnificent and beautiful colors in the mornings. They give me a jump start and I feel God is saying hey there is a lot to be thankful for, so just keep praising.... yes even with the green lights that you seen in the picture now.

The Oberwaal irrigation channel path runs through rocky terrain and mixed forest in Malles has a beautiful view to Malles and the Ortles Mountain Group
The circular hike starts at the information office in Malles/Mals, turn left and walk along the St. Benedictstreet to the St.-Benedict-Church on the western end of Malles/Mals. On the right side of the church a street leads up to the northern edge of Malles/Mals, where the entrance to the irrigation channel path lies behind the church Vierzehn-Nothelfer. From there take the forest trail no. 12 up to the Oberwaal irrigation channel path no. 17 through a mixed forest to the garden of Malles/Mals and via the Mitterwaal no. 14 back to the starting point.
The Oberwaal irrigation channel path was first mentioned in writing in 1346. In 1980 he was replaced by a sprinkler system. Its length is 3 km and ends east of the village Tarces/Tartsch.

O'Hare, M.T., Hutchinson, K.A. and Clarke, R. T., 2007. The Drag and Reconfiguration Experienced by Five Macrophytes from a Lowland River. Aquatic Botany, 86 (3), pp. 253-259.
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleUR...
Drag and flexibility of five macrophytes (fresh mass 3 g) collected from the same river were measured at velocities from 0 to 0.5 m s−1 in a flume. Drag increased with increasing velocity for all five species examined. Sparganium emersum Rehmann, which has simple strap-like leaves experienced significantly less drag than the other, bushier species whilst there was no significant difference between the drag on Callitriche stagnalis Scop., Ranunculus penicillatus pseudofluitans (Syme) S.D. Webster, and Myriophyllum spicatum L. above 0.4 m s−1. Potamogeton x zizii W.D.J. Koch ex Roth, which has large flat leaves, experienced significantly higher drag than all the other species. All the plants were very flexible but flexibility (as angle of bend) did not explain the drag experienced by the plants, e.g. S. emersum was the least flexible. The plants also changed shape and compressed (reconfigured) under increasing water velocity which reduced the rate at which drag increased. Reconfiguration capacity was assessed as E-values. There were no significant differences in E-values between species indicating that all the samples examined had a similar capacity to reconfigure. It is concluded that measurement of the drag experienced by plants is useful and may prove helpful in explaining the distribution of macrophytes in rivers.

U.S. manufacturing grew at a substantially slower pace in January as new order growth plunged by the most in 33 years, driving overall factory activity to an eight-month low, an industry report showed on Monday.
The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) said its index of national factory activity fell to 51.3 last month, to its lowest level since May 2013, from a recently revised 56.5 in December.
January's figure was also well below the median forecast of 56 in a Reuters poll of economists, missing even the lowest estimate of 54.2. Readings above 50 indicate expansion.
(Read more: Manufacturingretreats from 11 month peak: Markit)
The January reading marked a second straight month of slowing growth from November's recent peak reading of 57, which had been the highest since April 2011, suggesting the economy may be losing some of the momentum it had enjoyed in the second half of 2013.
The biggest red flag in the ISM report was the huge drop in the forward-looking new orders index, which fell to 51.2 from 64.4 in December. That 13.2-point drop was the largest monthly decline in that key component since December 1980.
Indicators of employment, production and inventory growth also declined from December. At 52.3, the employment reading was the weakest since June and well below December's 18-month high of 55.8.
Meanwhile, the prices index surged to 60.5 from 53.5, the highest reading since last February.
In a separate report, U.S. construction spending rose modestly in December to its highest level since March 2009, as a jump in private residential projects offset weakness in public construction.
Construction spending was up 0.1 percent to an annual rate of $930.5 billion, the Commerce Department reported. Economists polled by Reuters had expected an increase of 0.2 percent. Construction spending in November was revised to show a 0.8 percent rise instead of the previously reported 1.0 percent increase.
The December construction spending data was buoyed by a 2.6 percent jump in private residential construction. Overall private construction spending increased 1.0 percent to an annual rate of $663.9 billion, the highest level since December 2008.
Public construction spending, however, fell 2.3 percent, its biggest drop in a year, with state and local outlays falling 2.7 percent. Federal construction spending was up 2.0 percent in the month. | [

The Grays Harbor County commissioners plan to again consider matching funds for the pending Gateway Project in Aberdeen following a discussion between the commissioners, Aberdeen leaders and a representative from Rep. Derek Kilmer’s office.
A 10 percent match of $55,000 will be included on the agenda for the upcoming county commission meeting Monday. That number is less than the $165,000 requested by the City of Aberdeen.
The Gateway Center project would create a large facility at downtown Aberdeen which will house local economic organizations, as well as conference rooms for rent and a visitors center. In all, the project could cost more than $8 million to complete.
The City of Aberdeen had requested $1.65 million from the Legislature for engineering and design in order to make the entire project shovel ready. Proving too lofty for the state, the Legislature instead contributed $550,000 in grant funding to the city. The county had pledged to match 10 percent.
On Monday, Commissioner Wes Cormier said he had too many questions to vote on releasing the $165,000 to the City of Aberdeen from the county’s economic development fund (also known as the “.09 fund”). Commissioner and Chairwoman Vickie Raines noted some confusion as to whether the county had agreed to contribute 10 percent of the requested funds or 10 percent of the awarded funds. There was some additional confusion as to when the pledge was added to the county’s budget.
At a meeting on Wednesday, the commissioners met with Aberdeen Mayor Erik Larson, Aberdeen City councilmen Alan Richrod and Peter Schave, Aberdeen City Administrator Lisa Scott, project advocate Scott Reynvaan, Greater Grays Harbor Inc. CEO Dru Garson and Nicholas Carr from Derek Kilmer’s office.
Raines said she supported the county matching 10 percent of the awarded funds at $55,000. Commissioner Frank Gordon agreed.
The pledge was made after the county’s budget was adopted in 2015, and it was entered into the budget (at $165,000) without being explicitly presented to the other commissioners. The budget was approved on Nov. 17 and Raines asked for the earmark for the Gateway Center on Nov. 23.
“It would be like taking a $25 million budget and inserting something — you really wouldn’t know it was there unless you’d been told it was there,” Raines explained. “I just want to apologize for not coming full circle. It’s one of those things when you submit something or assign something, you kind of take it off your plate and away it goes.”
Larson said he understood if the commissioners wanted to give only the $55,000 to match what was awarded by the state.
“The City of Aberdeen has really been doing work knowing that the funds are invested from the state, and we really just need to county to make a decision on the.09 funds and we can finalize the funding from the state,” Larson said. “We’re fine with (the $55,000). We kind of assumed that was going to happen. … But I see that as being a first step of the county thinking this is a good idea and they’re interested, and then we can discuss what that interest is going to turn into.”
Cormier’s former sticking point of who would own the building was addressed. Cormier doesn’t believe the county should own the building, saying the county owns and maintains too many facilities already. Cormier has noted he believes the details should be ironed out before funding is allocated.
“Is the cart before the horse a little bit on who is going to own the building?” Cormier asked.
Larson said the project wasn’t at that point. Currently, the city already has purchased the land that will serve as the home for the future project. What the city is requesting is support.
“I’m really asking: ‘Is the county supportive of this project? Are they supportive of matching the state funds and joining all of the other local leaders who joined in on the project, or is this something that the county doesn’t feel like is a priority?’” Larson said. “I want us to move forward with what we can work on today, and then we can spend time working through what the relationship and what phase three of the construction and management of the facility looks like.”
Cormier had other concerns, saying visitors centers are obsolete and questioning how the visitors center would help East County.
Carr said the term “visitors center” could be a misnomer.
“Visitors center is not the way to sell it,” Carr said. “I’ve already engaged with the National Park Service, the Forest Service, Fish and Wildlife — every one of those agencies is going to come down and meet with you guys about possible partnerships, including new digital technologies. … It may even be that on certain days of a season you won’t | [

Why should you use organic cotton? Consider these facts:
- According to the Sustainable Cotton Project and Pesticide Action Network of North America, cotton uses about 23 percent of the world’s insecticides and more than 10 percent of all pesticides.
- In the U.S., it takes about one-third of a pound of chemicals to grow enough cotton for one T-shirt. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, more than 53 million pounds of pesticides and 1.6 billion pounds of synthetic fertilizers were applied to 11.9 million acres of cotton in 1996.
- In California, five of the top nine pesticides used on cotton are cancer-causing chemicals.
- Cotton is the crop with the third-heaviest pesticide use.
- In California, where over one million acres of cotton are grown each year, cotton production ranks second for total amount of pesticides used.
- GMO cotton now comprises 45% of the world's production of cotton. Organic cotton cannot come from GMO seeds.
- 99% of the world's cotton is grown outside the U.S., most of it in India. US cotton subsidies artificially lower cotton prices while production costs for GMO seeds and pesticides are rising, causing financial stress in the rest of the world's cotton-producing areas. India's once prestigious cotton belt is now referred to as the "suicide belt" due to farmers unable to accept growing debts and committing suicide at alarming rates.

A lottery is a game of chance in which you pay for a ticket and then have the opportunity to win prizes. It is a form of gambling that is popular in many countries around the world.
The origins of lotteries are unclear; they may have arisen in the Low Countries during the 15th century as a way to raise money for town fortification and to help the poor. The earliest known lottery, however, was organized by Roman Emperor Augustus and distributed goods as gifts during Saturnalian feasts.
In the United States, there are over 40 state and local governments that operate lotteries. The lottery is a popular form of entertainment, and it generates billions of dollars each year in revenue. The money from the lottery is used for various purposes, including education, public health, and transportation.
There are several types of lotteries, but they all share some common characteristics. They generally involve a random draw of numbers from a set of balls or other items, and the more data hk numbers you have that match, the higher the prize you’ll receive.
A lottery can be run as an individual venture or as a large-scale operation. In some cases, a computer system is used for the collection of ticket sales and ticket distribution. Others use a traditional mail system.
Most national and state lotteries employ a hierarchical system of sales agents who pass all the money received as stakes through the organization until it is “banked.” This money is then distributed to winners as prizes, and to agents to market the lottery.
As a form of business, lottery operators are motivated to maximize their revenues by maximizing the number of tickets sold and the value of the prizes. This often leads to a heightened focus on advertising and promotion.
Some critics argue that this promotion of lottery gambling may exacerbate existing issues, such as the targeting of the poor and the promotion of problem gamblers. They also argue that lottery games are too risky, and that they encourage gambling addictions.
In addition, some states and counties use the money from the lottery to help fund other important services, such as medical care. This creates tension between the desire to generate revenue and the need for the state to provide critical services.
There are many ways to play the lottery, including purchasing tickets online, in-person at a retailer or participating in a group lottery pool. A group lottery pool allows members to purchase tickets and then pool their funds together to increase their chances of winning.
The odds of winning the lottery are based on how many people buy tickets and how many people have the same numbers drawn. In some cases, a group of people might be able to win multiple times.
Some lotteries allow you to choose the numbers yourself, while others have a set of randomly selected numbers. This can result in multiple winners, which makes the game more interesting and fun. | [

Automatic pilot, also called autopilot, or autohelmsman, device for controlling an aircraft or other vehicle without constant human intervention.
The earliest automatic pilots could do no more than maintain an aircraft in straight and level flight by controlling pitch, yaw, and roll movements; and they are still used most often to relieve the pilot during routine cruising. Modern automatic pilots can, however, execute complex maneuvers or flight plans, bring aircraft into approach and landing paths, or make possible the control of inherently unstable aircraft (such as some supersonic aircraft) and of those capable of vertical takeoff and landing. Automatic pilots are also used to steer surface ships, submarines, torpedoes, missiles, rockets, and spacecraft.
Automatic pilots consist of four major elements: (1) a source of steering commands (such as a computerized guidance program or a radio receiver), (2) motion and position sensors (such as gyroscopes, accelerometers, altimeters, and airspeed indicators), (3) a computer to compare the parameters specified in the guidance program with the aircraft’s actual position and motion, and (4) servomotors that actuate the craft’s engines and control surfaces to alter its flight when corrections or changes are required.
Automatic pilots for manned aircraft are designed as fail-safe—that is, no failure in the automatic pilot can be allowed to prevent the effective employment of manual override. Excessive accelerations are prevented by the automatic pilot through its numerous feedback loops. Automatic approach and landing employs microwave beams that are aimed from the runway and acquired aboard the aircraft by appropriate receivers.
As used aboard spacecraft, automatic attitude-stabilization-and-control systems compensate for the minor disturbances caused by micrometeorites, radiation pressure from the Sun, and minor irregularities in the gravitational fields of nearby planetary bodies. Instead of the aerodynamic control surfaces used by vehicles in Earth’s atmosphere, automatic pilots on spacecraft control orientation by means of reaction control jets, electromagnets that couple to planetary magnetic fields, or gyroscopes.

Why Invest in Art?
As Lloyds become known for making quality artwork accessible to everyone, we have compiled some reasons as to why investing in the prestigious area of art can be a fantastic investment.
1. Historical Value – Art has been entrenched in human life for thousands of years. From the stone age to the contemporary age, art has been a significant freedom of expression. It has allowed people to begin to understand each other from points of view that would not have been evident without it and provided us with a look at the history of humanity from the beginning of time.
2. Live like the Stars – modern portfolios are showing that those who have the means to invest are doing so and diversifying 5-7% into the art world. Investing in luxury items are becoming the best thing to do with classic investment markets becoming highly volatile. Items such as expensive wines, vintage cars and artwork are now popular due to their less unpredictable markets.
3. Economical Value – the economic recession had us all down. Not many markets did great either, but the art market bounced back with full buoyancy perhaps as the quickest one. Either way, much faster than traditional markets. Those with investments in the art were not greatly affected. In comparison to investing in stocks or bonds, art delivers investors with a substitute, palpable opportunity.
4. YOU OWN IT – not the government, not your parents or your partner – you. This is a tangible investment object that does not have the government involved in any way. Therefore, your resale – if you so choose to, will be quick and efficient. Unlike real estate, there are no causal financial markets that will interfere with the price. You will look after your investment and will be responsible for its outcome.
5. It becomes part of your history – buying a piece of artwork is not just a retail purchase. It is something that will be on display for you and whoever is part of your family or walks into your home. Therefore, the piece will ingrain itself into your story as well as have its own.
6. You are engaging in someone else’s life story – contemporary art is known for its unique and beautiful take on the world. This comes directly from the artist and the way they connect to their surrounding environment and relative world. It paints a picture (no pun intended) of their views and what they wanted to creatively output onto the canvas.
7. It’s a simple investment – art is a look back at our past. It can bring up emotional attachment and it can also explore parts of history that we weren’t aware of. It’s something that can be enjoyed and appreciated just by viewing. For these reasons, it will most likely increase in value simply due to its age. Like fine wine and classic cars (both also available in our auctions) art will only become more valuable – whether that is through monetary value or expressive value.
…And we’ll give you a free 8th reason. Our next art auction held on the 30th of May 2017 will be supporting charity with all vendor proceeds going directly to Save the Children Australia, which endorses children’s rights, and delivers relief and support in developing countries. Bid now to start investing in art and help build a child’s future. Learn more about art here. | [

Could somebody help me and make the situation with <aspect_ratio> element clear? According to the specs (1.4.1):
"The aspect ratio is defined as the ratio of a pixel’s height over the pixel’s width; therefore, the aspect ratio can be derived from, or be used to derive, the field of view parameters: aspect_ratio = yfov / xfov."
That seems to be incorrect; what we actually need is image aspect ratio.
For example, default camera xfov in 3DS Max is 45 degrees, it corresponds to yfov = 36.6(6) (assuming image aspect ratio being 4:3). Yet default pixel aspect ratio is 1.0. Thus, COLLADAMAX exports camera parameters as follows:
which is specs-correct, but useless, cause I cannot restore yfov now.
The question is: is that an error in specs or my misunderstanding? Thanks![/b] | [

Boeing (NYSE:BA) is in an advanced stage of negotiations with United Continental (NYSE:UAL) over an order for up to 180 narrowbody jets, according to Reuters. The aircraft manufacturer is competing with Airbus for the deal – worth about $15 billion at list prices – and analysts speculate that a split-order is the most likely outcome. If Boeing manages to secure exclusivity, however, it would be the latest in a string of high-profile coups for the manufacturer, continuing a trend which could send its global market share above 40%.
Downturn Fails to Dent Demand for New Jets

- Boeing Forced To Cut Jobs As Competition And Weak Market Stifles Growth
Ongoing economic uncertainty may have forced airlines to cut capacity in recent months, but for aircraft manufacturers Boeing and Airbus there is little evidence of a slowdown in demand. High oil prices have piqued customers’ appetite for more fuel-efficient fleets, leading to several large scale deals throughout 2012 – including a 460-plane order by American Airlines (NYSE:AMR). In the last month alone, Boeing has secured contracts to deliver 50 long-range Boeing 777s to UAE-based Emirates Airlines, and 230 short-haul jets to Indonesian carrier Lion Air. Each deal is worth about $20 billion at list prices, and they include options for several hundred more jets.
According to its own conservative estimate, Boeing expects global demand for commercial aircraft to total 33,500 units between 2011 and 2030. Having delivered 1,270 commercial aircraft last year, we believe the manufacturer will capitalize on this growing demand for fuel-efficient models by raising output steadily between now and at least 2018. Our chart below illustrates how its accelerating production line activity contributes to a Trefis price estimate of $90.
Defending Market Share Key to Long-Term Growth
While aircraft deliveries look certain to rise, Boeing’s market share appears somewhat more precarious. In addition to rising competition from Brazilian, Canadian, Chinese and Russian manufacturers, Boeing remains locked in a head-to-head struggle with European plane-maker Airbus for dominance in the long-haul and short-haul sectors.
Both manufacturers have suffered setbacks in the long-haul sector – with the 787 Dreamliner delivering three years late, and the A350 program now delayed by six months – which makes securing a lead in the short-haul market all the more crucial. Given that United operates an Airbus fleet whereas Continental flies Boeing, analysts will be watching closely to see who the newly merged entity favors in its upcoming order. Any advantage to Boeing will set the US manufacturer well on its way to reaching 40% global market share by 2014.

Industrial coatings help businesses and manufacturing companies get the most of out their machinery parts. There’s nothing more frustrating than having parts fail and as a result having them slow down and / or stop production. If this is happening to your business, have the parts that make your machines run coated with Teflon or another fluoropolymer coating. Coating Solutions, based in Minnesota but serving the whole country, is an applicator of Teflon® and fluoropolymer coatings for industrial use. The things that make us stand out are that we have an extremely fast turnaround (one day rush is available) and the lowest minimum lot charge in the entire industry, ensuring that our customers are always happy. And we obviously provide a high quality as well, otherwise our Fortune 500 customers would have gone somewhere else quite a while ago. So if you work with industrial machinery, or have a prototype that needs a coating, contact Coating Solutions for high quality and affordable Teflon® coatings today.
Food Processing Teflon® Coatings
PTFE Teflon® and other fluoropolymer coatings have superb benefits that make them ideal for parts used in the food processing industry. If you’re working in the processing of food, you are no doubt working with extreme temperatures and sticky products that have the tendency to adhere to machinery parts. When these parts are not coated with Teflon® or another fluoropolymer, they cost businesses a lot of money due to lost production and extra labor. An application of PTFE Teflon® to machinery parts can make these parts last much longer when they are exposed to extreme heat, as opposed to non-coated parts. This saves businesses expenses with regards to not having to buy a new part to replace the old one as frequently, not shutting down the machine to replace the part, and not having to pay extra labor to replace the part. And with regards to nonstick, the same idea can be gleaned: machines are not shut down as regularly to clean as products are not sticking to them, and when machines are shut down, less cleaning needs to take place as food is not stuck to them. Also, less cleaning chemicals need to be used. So if you operate in the food processing industry, an application of Teflon® or another fluoropolymer coating to your machinery parts is definitely a financially wise move.
Coatings for Other Industries
Coatings Solutions coats parts for use in a wide range of industries. Our customers vary significantly, from those working in packaging to large and small machine shops, prototype developers, automotive and chemical processing industries. No matter what industry our customers are in, they come to us because they know they will get a high quality coating at a reasonable price and have the part back in their hands in no time so that they can get back to work. So if you need a Teflon® applicator to get your parts in top functioning condition, contact the professionals at Coating Solutions today. | [

While researching my military Thompson book American Thunder, I discovered quite a few World War II Ordnance Department documents that expressed great concern over the excessive, and sometimes erratic, cyclic rate of the new M1 Thompson submachine gun. The M1 Thompson was adopted to replace the older, more complex M1928A1 model.
I first discovered that in July of 1942, the Springfield Ordnance District had rejected the entire lot of early production M1 model Thompsons that were manufactured at Auto-Ordnance’s Bridgeport factory. The reason given for the rejection of the weapons was that they exceeded the Ordnance Department’s maximum rate of fire specification for the M1 of 750-800 rounds per minute. However, at the same time, similar M1 Thompsons that were being produced by the Savage Arms Company in Utica, New York were being accepted by the Rochester Ordnance District with no reported problems. There was no explanation of the different acceptance policies of the two districts in any documents.
The Ordnance Department felt that the M1 model’s fast rate of fire would create undesirable muzzle climb. Extensive testing had convinced Ordnance that accuracy increased as the cyclic rate of fire was decreased. The United States Ordnance Department was fervently opposed to any infantry weapon that they considered to have a high rate of fire. This policy was not limited to submachine guns, but applied to all types of automatic small arms.
In the first firing report of the M1 held at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in March of 1942, the new M1 Thompson recorded a cyclic rate of fire as high as 814 rounds per minute, although the average rate of fire of the test was calculated at 775 rpm. In August of 1942, another test was conducted at Aberdeen. During this testing M1 Thompson serial number 3563 recorded a cyclic rate of 810 rpm, while M1 serial number 7990 averaged 735 rpm. Subsequent tests of the M1 recorded the weapon’s cyclic rate as high as 920 rpm (M1 serial number 301798). It was noted that the M1928A1 Thompson had a cyclic rate of approximately 650 rpm.
Several methods to solve the rate of fire problem were attempted by both the Auto-Ordnance Corporation and the U.S. Ordnance Department. The Auto-Ordnance Corporation, knowing the increased cyclic rate of the M1 over the earlier M19128A1 model could possibly present a problem with the Ordnance Department, had tried to reduce the rate of fire by experimenting with various chamber dimensions. Their early research failed to produce the desired results.
The Ordnance Department’s engineers also failed to provide a workable solution to bring the Bridgeport manufactured M1’s cyclic rate below the specified number. A number of methods were attempted to slow down the rate of fire. These included; increasing the weight of the bolt, altering the recoil spring, incorporation of a flat spring inside the receiver, increasing the length of the slot in the receiver, different buffer materials and increasing the weight of the bolt handle. The most successful results were achieved by increasing the weight of the bolt handle. The Ordnance tests, methods and results will be covered in more detail in the second part of this article.
Because of the dire need for weapons, the Ordnance Department headquarters in Washington, D.C. issued a waiver to accept the M1 weapons in question on 9 December 1942.
In the interim, engineers at Savage had been working to further simplify the relatively new M1 Thompson. They redesigned the breech bolt to eliminate several parts, which included the firing pin, the firing pin spring, the hammer and the hammer pin. This was accomplished by replacing the aforementioned parts with a fixed firing pin that was nothing more than a protrusion machined onto the face of the bolt. This also eliminated several machining operations on the bolt. In September of 1942 the Aberdeen Proving Ground was instructed to test a M1 submachine gun fitted with the new style bolt.
The testing at Aberdeen indicated that the M1 submachine gun equipped with a fixed firing pin functioned slightly better than the standard M1 submachine gun. It was also noted that the fixed pin design saved considerable manufacturing time, and that the bolt was substantially strengthened by elimination of the deep drilling operation necessary to accommodate the firing pin and spring.
In the first firing report of the modified M1 (M1A1) Thompson conducted on 9 and 10 September 1942, it was noted that the average rate of fire of the modified M1, when fitted with a fixed firing pin bolt, was 667 rpm. A high of 746, and a low of 622 rpm was recorded. This was compared with the standard M1’s average rate of fire of 775 rpm. A total of 5,780 rounds of.45 caliber service were fired during the testing. The ammunition used in the test | [

Blake Shelton stays true to traditional country roots with Bringing Back The Sunshine
Blake Shelton’s 11th studio album, Bringing Back The Sunshine, marks a return to showcasing a talent that “sonically represents the best contemporary country has to offer, yet feels like the classic cuts served up by the heroes that inspired Shelton as young boy in Ada, Oklahoma.” A press announcement posted on BlakeShelton.com adds that the Warner Bros. Nashville release produced by longtime friend and collaborator, Scott Hendricks, is an album that highlights “what is [sic] arguably the most powerful vocals Blake Shelton has ever recorded.” In fact, Shelton readily admits that singing is the most important part of being a country music artist.
“I’m a fan of a lot of artists, but I always gravitate to the singers,” says Shelton, “and that’s why I always looked up to Earl Thomas Conley, Travis Tritt, Ronnie Milsap, Conway Twitty. These guys never went through the motions when it came to laying down a vocal.” Shelton adds he considers it his job to be the best singer he can be when he gets in the studio. “I don’t ever want someone to hear me on the radio and say ‘Yeah, he’s singing okay, but where’s the heart?’ I want it all to be in there,” he says.
Ever since his 2001 debut single ‘Austin’ topped the country radio charts, Shelton’s unprecedented hot streak seems destined to continue on his new album. From “soaring confessionals and convincing professions of love and loss” in cuts such as ‘Good Country Song,’ ‘Sangria,’ and ‘Anyone Else’ to the “immediately memorable up- and mid-tempos” such as ‘Buzzin’,’ ‘Gonna,’ and the Southern rock/country title track, Bringing Back The Sunshine is hailed as “the exact tonic country music needs right now.”
“The only thing I really knew I wanted to do for sure—and Scott [Hendricks] agreed—was, ‘let’s make a ‘country-er’ record than we’ve made in a while,” explains Shelton, “and I do think we accomplished that. It definitely has elements of things you hear on the radio now, but I think it’s more of a throwback to some of those earlier albums I made with [producer] Bobby Braddock, as far as the lyrical content and even the melodies.”
Billboard calls Bringing Back The Sunshine “One of Shelton’s strongest recent efforts,” noting the reigning CMA Male Vocalist of the Year earned his second No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 (selling more than 100,000 copies in its first week of release). The album is only the third country album to top the Billboard 200 this year, following Eric Church's The Outsiders and wife Miranda Lambert’s Platinum release. In addition, lead single ‘Neon Light’ is currently No. 5 on the Mediabase Country radio airplay chart, and No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.
The news release summarizes Bringing Back The Sunshine by stating it “showcases the many facets of a complicated person with a simple mission: creating a diverse, powerful country music album.” Blake Shelton is supporting the new album with 2015 tour dates that kick off March 21 at the Runaway Country Festival in Melbourne, Florida. He’s also scheduled to appear at Stagecoach in Indio, Calif. (April 26), Tree Town Music Festival in Forest City, Iowa (May 23), and the Buckeye Country Superfest in Columbus, Ohio (June 20).
Watch the official music video for ‘Neon Light’ off Blake Shelton’s new studio album Bringing Back The Sunshine.
As A Matter of Fact…
* Blake Tollison Shelton was born June 18, 1976, in Ada, Oklahoma. He began singing at an early age and learned to play guitar by age twelve. Young Blake wrote his first song as a 15-year-old, and the next year received a Denbo Diamond Award—the highest award presented to young entertainers in Oklahoma.
* Shelton moved to Nashville in 1994 after graduating high school and touring the Oklahoma bar circuit. Three years later, songwriter-producer Bobby Braddock helped Shelton land a job at a music publishing company, where he sold songs to several publishing houses and signed a solo contract with Giant Records (now Warner Bros. Nashville).
* Shelton’s traditional style of country that favored sentimental ballads and blue-collar rockers led to his 2001 No. 1 debut single, ‘Austin.’ Follow up singles ‘All Over Me’ and ‘Ol' Red’ followed in 2002, pushing Shelton's self-titled debut album to gold sales status. Second | [

Massive improvements in the thermophysical properties of nanofluids over conventional fluids have led to the rapid evolution of using multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) in the field of heat transfer. In this study, the heat transfer and entropy generation abilities of MWCNTs/GNPs hybrid nanofluids were explored. Experiments on forced convective flow through a brass microtube with 300 μm inner diameter and 0.27 m in length were performed under uniform heat flux. MWCNTs/GNPs hybrid nanofluids were developed by adding 0.035 wt.% GNPs to MWCNTs water-based nanofluids with mass fractions of 0.075-0.125 wt.%. The range of the Reynolds number in this experiment was maintained at Re = 200-500. Results showed that the conventional approach for predicting the heat transfer coeffcient was applicable for microtubes. The heat transfer coeffcient increased markedly with the use of MWCNTs and MWCNTs/GNPs nanofluids, with increased pressure dropping by 12.4%. Results further showed a reduction by 37.5% in the total entropy generation rate in microtubes for hybrid nanofluids. Overall, MWCNTs/GNPs hybrid nanofluids can be used as alternative fluids in cooling systems for thermal applications.

Absolute RC Flight Simulator description: Flight simulator for RC planes, helicopters, drones, cars and boats.
This flight simulator is great tool for experienced modelers, and even greater for someone who is just starting in this exciting hobby. In addition to the excellent flight simulation of rc planes and helicopters, this is the only rc flight simulator that provides boats and cars simulation.
The flight simulator includes 12 free models, 2 landscapes and 3 interactive object sets that can be loaded on any flying field when flying helicopters. The interactive objects can be used to learn landing and precise model control. For advanced RC fliers, we include more than 50 different types RC models and flying fields as IAP. You can also import free ClearView RC models from the internet, or create new models to use or share with anyone.
In addition to the fixed point camera that represents the RC pilot point of view, we have included follow up camera that follows the model. That is useful when you learn flying, so the model never gets far away.
1. This is not a game, it is flight simulator. You are controlling rc models that reacts like real flying models. It takes some time to learn, and again, do not expect “arcade” style controls.
2. We have included 4 free models that will help you learn flying RC models. All other models and landscapes are available as in app purchases (IAP).
3. The onscreen control sticks are just indicators! They are made small so they do not obscure the screen.
*** You do not need to keep your fingers on them ***
Sliding your finger any where on the right screen half affects the right control stick, the same for the left screen part – sliding finger there moves the left control stick.
We suggest to select beginner settings at first few days before you can comfortably progress further

It is estimated that almost two-thirds of American adults are infected with the virus that causes cold sores or fever blisters. A red lesion on the lip or near the mouth can be embarrassing and painful. People seem to stare and back away. Finding a remedy for cold sores can be challenging. Here’s an unusual approach:
Q. I am 24. I have had cold sores two or three times a year since I can remember. It’s more than just an annoyance. When I have a festering wound on my lip, my life comes to a screeching halt. I can’t go anywhere. Since I work at a restaurant as a bartender, every second is agony. It’s the worst part of my life for sure.
Ever since I can remember I have been searching everywhere high and low for remedies and I have come across so many different ideas. From regular doses of apple cider vinegar, to regular doses of fresh garlic, to echinacea and goldenseal. I used to carry Abreva with me everywhere and lysine lip balm and garlic pills and lysine pills.
I used to go to the whole foods market and get raw organic garlic and just eat it whole in hopes of suppressing the virus. Nothing has ever worked as good as what I have been doing for the past year or so.
I have had only one but it was when I tried stopping to see what would happen and it was in a spot I have never had it and of lesser severity than usual. I know this is going to sound gross but for some crazy reason ear wax has been the single solution that I have grown to trust. After me trying everything in desperation to help control my outbreaks rubbing a little of my own ear wax has proven to be most effective.
I also take Lysine in moderation about 500mg a day… double to 1000mg if I feel very stressed or if I get a sunburn or just feel that tingle. I still got them on occasion when I was only using Lysine but now since I use a combination of the two I haven’t had one in at least a year which is a crazy long time for me.
There is hope.
A. The virus that causes classic cold sores is herpes simplex 1 or HSV-1. Doctors call these outbreaks Herpes simplex labialis (HSL). Doctors prescribe antiviral drugs such as acyclovir, famciclovir or valacyclovir for both cold sores and genital herpes infections with good success.
We thought your idea was pretty far out there, but after a little digging in the medical literature we discovered that Russian scientists have identifed ear wax (cerumen) as having some anti-herpes activity. Here’s the abstract from 1995.
“The cerumen (earwax) of some mammals possesses antistaphylococcal, antimicrococcal and antiherpes activities. The cerumen of two thirds of individuals, irrespective of their species identity and sex, has antiviral properties. The mean chemotherapeutical index in the studied groups follows a significantly decreasing sequence: dogs, humans without signs of herpes infections, rabbits, and humans with clinically expressed herpes infection.
Cerumen of almost 25% of humans of the compared groups displays the immunostimulating activity. The cerumen of all studied individuals contains yeast-like fungi. A suggestion is put forward that the products of their metabolism stimulate local release of interferon-like substances by the lymphoid tissue in the cerumen.”
There is a great deal of support for the idea of using l-lysine to prevent or control herpes outbreaks. You can find more stories about this amino acid for cold sores here. Some people even report that l-lysine works against shingles pain. Shingles are also caused by a herpes-type virus.
It is not the same virus that causes cold sores, though. Rather, shingles are triggered by the virus that causes chicken pox, Varicella zoster virus (VZV). We encourage people to seek immediate medical attention at the first signs of a shingles outbreak (burning, pain, tingling or numbness especially on one side of the body followed by a red rash or blisters). Immediate treatment with an antiviral drug can cut short the outbreak.
Although we have not been able to find any scientific support for l-lysine against shingles, some visitors to this web site have reported good results. Here is a link to some reports. | [

2021 is an odd year, so the elections are mostly local ones. The judicial races this year are:
- Several state-wide judges. These are judges that primarily hear appeals. I’ve heard from candidates planning to run for the state Supreme Court, the Commonwealth Court, and the Superior Court this year. The Commonwealth and Superior courts each hear particular kinds of appeals with decisions from there appealed to the state’s supreme court.
- Court of Common Pleas judges, which are the main court system in Delaware County. I have heard there are 2 openings. The current magisterial judge of northern NP, Deborah Krull, is running for one of the seats. There are also 5 judges running for retention after their 10 year terms.
- The Magisterial District judge for district 32-1-30 is up for election, this primarily covers Ridley but also wards 1 and 5 in Nether Providence. Magisterial district judges hear small claims, truancy, evictions, and make preliminary rulings on bail.
Also potentially on the ballot is an effort by state Republicans to gerrymander the state’s supreme court. Currently the Supreme Court judges are all elected state-wide, but because Democrats currently hold a majority, the Republicans want to change it to elect them by districts instead, thus allowing them to shape the districts to give them an unbeatable majority and disenfranchise millions living in the Philly and Pittsburgh areas.
Up for election in the county is,
- Two Delaware County Council seats occupied by Kevin Madden and Brian Zidek. Everything I’ve heard indicates they’ll run again. The county oversees a diverse set of programs including the county jail, elections, health services, parks, road programs, and more.
- County Controller Joanne Phillips, elected in 2017, likely to run again. The controller oversees all the books for the county.
- County Sheriff Jerry Sanders, also elected in 2017, likely to run again. Because policing is largely either the state or township’s duty, the sheriff largely oversees security around the courts, parks and government buildings.
- Register of Wills Rachel Ezzell Berry will run for a first term. Rachel was appointed to replace Mary Walk when Mary took another position in county government. The register of wills oversees various services like marriage certificates and estates.
In Nether Providence township, up for election,
- Commissioners in wards 2, 4, and 6 are up for election for 4 year terms. Matt Garson, Kaitlin McKenzie and Robert O’Connor are all rumored to be running again for their current positions.
- Commissioners in wards 5 and 7 are up for election for 2 year terms. Stephanie King and Marty Molloy were appointed to fill out terms for people that moved out of Nether Providence this past year.
- School board region one (2 seats in northern NP) and region two (1 seat in southern NP and Rose Valley), as well as a seat in region 3 (Swarthmore) are up for election. School board has been a brutal, unpaid responsibility these past few years made much worse by the pandemic. Board vice-president Kelly Wachtman will likely run again in region 1, but long-time board member in region 1, Marylin Huff is retiring. Matt Sullivan now of Rose Valley was appointed to the region 2 seat this year.
- Tax Collector Kris Laubscher is up for re-election, she’s responsible for processing the taxes the township receives.
- All of our election officials are up for election, three officials for every single precinct in the state. These are the people you see at the polls every election. The Judge of Election is responsible for the overall running of the precinct. There are two Inspector of Elections elected to assist the judge. Nether Providence will also elect two constables responsible for making sure voters can vote without fear of intimidation. These positions can be really hard to collect signatures for because they have to come from a single precinct (except the constables), so if asked, please help your polling officials get on the ballot by signing their petitions. Democracy does not happen without them.
In terms of the 2021 calendar, candidates that won in 2020 will be sworn in during January. Nominating petitions usually start around Presidents Day in February and continue through early March. These are the petitions signed every year by voters to place candidates on the primary ballot in May. The county parties usually hold endorsement meetings of their committee members some time in February to recommend candidates to voters. In May the primary is held to pick the party nominees. Over the summer independent and third party candidates can file nominating petitions to get on the ballot. In November the general election will be held and in December the new school board members will be sworn in (the others will be sworn in January of 2022). | [

My Flea Product isn't working!
There is nothing worse than treating your dog for fleas but feeling like the product isn’t working! Rest assured that all of our products are covered by a 100% manufacturers guarantee and we will be happy to work with you to fix your flea problem.
The reason why your product may not be working to your expectations is all to do with: Timing, Degree of flea burden and Environmental factors. It is important to asses these 3 things to ensure you break the flea lifecycle and stop the problem.
Timing & degree of flea burden: Did you know that when fleas are dying they come to the surface and can be seen more clearly?
Many flea products can take up to 8 – 12 hours to reach their full efficacy. Whilst the product may be working hard to kill the fleas on your pet, sometimes the burden is so intense it just cant keep up with the demand! In a bad flea burden, we recommend combining your normal monthly flea treatment with Capstar to increase the speed of treatment. Capstar will start to kill the fleas on your dog within 30 minutes. Alternatively, Comfortis also provides fast relief (within 30 minutes) against fleas and last for an entire month.
Environmental factors: If your pet has a bad flea burden, we recommend that all animals in the household are also being treated with a product to control both eggs, larvae and adult fleas. Are there other animals that your pet is coming into contact with who aren’t treated that could be re-contaminating them? Eg: the neighbour’s cat or dog?
We also recommend treating any area’s in and around the house with a product that kills both the adult fleas but also stops eggs and larvae from developing & hatching. For example: Washing all pet’s bedding and drying in bright sunshine & treating carpets/ couches/ duvet’s with Indorex spray. | [

At MWC Shanghai 2021, Kevin Hu, President of Huawei Data Communication Product Line, announced the “five ones” new capabilities of the Intelligent cloud network solution — one hop to cloud, one-network wide connection, one-click fast scheduling, one fiber for multiple purposes, and one-stop integrated security. This solution helps carriers build cloud-oriented service networks and core capabilities for DICT transformation.
Carriers adopt the DICT strategy to meet the digital transformation demands of their industry customers. New opportunities are accompanied by new changes and challenges.
Change 1: Cloud access demands are increasing rapidly. 93% of enterprises will use public clouds, and 74% of enterprises will use hybrid clouds. Enterprises have demands for multi-cloud connection through single-point access.
Change 2: Enterprise private lines are shifting to cloud private networks. After enterprise service systems are cloudified, enterprise needs transform from private lines to globally reachable cloud private networks.
Change 3: Best-effort forwarding is shifting to experience assurance. The cloudification of enterprise production systems means that networks need to change from best-effort forwarding to deterministic experience assurance.
Change 4: Single-point security is shifting to all-round protection. To meet service cloudification requirements, security needs to change from single-point protection provided by firewalls to E2E (from devices, networks, and clouds to applications) security collaboration and all-round protection capabilities.
Huawei’s intelligent cloud network solution, through its five-ones new capabilities (one hop to cloud, one-network wide connection, one-click fast scheduling, one fiber for multiple purposes, and one-stop integrated security), maximizes the value of carriers’ network resources and fully leverages the complementary advantages of clouds and networks. As such, it is the key for carriers to provide DICT services integrating clouds and networks.
One hop to cloud: Cloud access paths enable cloud access within minutes.
The cloud backbone provides flexible connections between multiple clouds and networks while SRv6-based cloud access paths streamline cross-domain connections. With technology breaking process barriers, experience on clouds and networks becomes consistent, and service access to clouds through one network can be implemented within minutes.
One-network wide connection: Network-as-a-service delivers cloud-like network usage.
The service-oriented network architecture provides tenant-level interfaces to shield network implementation details. This reduces the system integration time by 90%, enabling enterprises to use networks as conveniently as using clouds. Furthermore, with iMaster NCE’s intelligent distributed path computation, the scale of network connections reaches 100 times greater than the industry average, meeting the demands for ultra-large-scale networking and global interconnection of numerous tenants.
One-click fast scheduling: The intelligent cloud graph algorithm improves IDC resource utilization by 30%.
The intelligent cloud graph algorithm, combining network and cloud factors, provides optimal cloud access paths for enterprises and implements integrated scheduling of cloud and network resources. This improves the cloud and network resource utilization by 30%.
One fiber for multiple purposes: Hierarchical slicing provides a deterministic service experience for numerous industries.
On the enterprise side, the intelligent cloud terminal — a box-shaped device — provides access to multiple services requiring different SLAs, such as CCTV, office Internet access, and remote conferencing. On the network side, one fiber to different slice-based service private networks provides fine-granularity experience assurance.
One-stop integrated security: The QIANKUN security cloud service builds all-round security protection. | [

Power has been restored to all fuel pond cooling systems at the damaged Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan, operator Tepco says.
A power cut shut down cooling systems for four spent fuel ponds at reactors 1, 3 and 4 on Monday evening, although cooling to the reactors themselves was not affected.
All cooling systems were operational by early Wednesday morning, Tepco said.
Pool temperatures remained within safe levels throughout, it added.
Cooling at the spent fuel ponds at reactors 1, 3 and 4 were all restored by 22:43 local time (14:43 GMT on Tuesday).
The cooling system at the fourth, common, pond was restored at 00:12 on Wednesday, Tokyo Electric Power Company (Tepco) said.
The company has been criticised for its delay in announcing the incident, which began at 18:57 on Monday. It took Tepco three hours to announce that the cooling systems had been shut down.
The ponds store spent fuel from the nuclear reactors. They cool the fuel – which generates intense heat – and provide shielding from radiation. The spent fuel remains in the ponds for a year or more.
There was no immediate threat of a radiation release. But if cooling systems had not been restored, it is possible that the water in the ponds could have started to boil.
That could have led to a loss of water and eventually to the exposure of the spent fuel rods to air, releasing radiation.

On Monday, Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue flagged off the construction of 16 Makurdi township roads measuring 15.39km.
The governor said the flag-off of the contract, awarded to an indigenous firm, was a significant step toward achieving his goal of providing quality infrastructure for the people.
“The construction of the 16 roads, which is monumental, marks a significant milestone in our commitment to revolutionise the infrastructure of Benue.
“This is as we prepare to lay the foundation of a new Benue within our first 100 days in office,’’ he said.
The governor added that the roads would improve transportation within the city, create ancillary job opportunities, and stimulate economic growth.
“These well-designed roads, with their asphalt surfaces, concrete drains, and culverts, will improve transportation and connectivity within the city, boost economic activities, and enhance the overall quality of life for our citizens.
“For this agricultural abundance to reach the markets and homes, we need an efficient and reliable transportation system.
“Additionally, it will attract more investments, stimulate commerce, and open up new opportunities for businesses to thrive,’’ Mr Alia said.
He charged the contractor to execute the project to specifications and deliver within the stipulated time frame.
Earlier, the project engineer, Nabil Nassal, said the company would ensure the roads were built to the highest standards and completed on schedule. | [

Use cases in automation
A hydraulic temperature control works without auxiliary power. The principle is based upon the thermodynamic change of volume due to changes in temperature. A vessel filled with hydraulic oil produces an increasing pressure when temperature is rising. The pressure is used to move a piston, connected to a valve.
Use cases for fluid power
- The tools of digging machines are moved by hydraulic power.
- Heavy hatches can be locked by hydraulics.
- Brakes in cars are usually hydraulic. | [
