Swine flu is certainly getting people’s attention, and raising a lot of discussion about factory farming and its possible impacts on our health, as well as the environment. We’ve just published a few satellite views of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) near La Gloria, the town in the state of Veracruz, Mexico, where the first case of swine flu associated with the April, 2009 outbreak was identified. Large hog-farming operations near town have been implicated by local residents as a possible cause, but as of now (4/30/09) no evidence has emerged to support any such link. These pictures were derived from Google satellite images taken in 2003 and 2006.
We’re not sure if these facilities are hog farms; chicken farms look similar, although in the U.S. chicken farms typically don’t have such large open waste lagoons. Write a comment to let us know what you think (and why). On-the-ground photos of a hog farm near La gloria, clearly showing the metal sheds and large waste lagoons, are here and here. And to see closeup air photos of hog farming facilities in Canada for comparison to these Google satellite images, peruse this gallery.
The incredible volumes of manure produced at CAFOs that raise cattle, hogs and chickens pose a threat to water quality wherever the manure is improperly stored or over-applied as fertilizer. To learn more about CAFOs, check in with the folks at Waterkeeper Alliance and browse this report from NRDC; and look over these possible solutions to the hog-waste problem proposed by Environmental Defense Fund.

Bullying and Harassment
LISA QUINN O’FLAHERTY
Bullying and harassment at work are risks to be monitored and mitigated. Workplaces that deal inappropriately with bullying leave themselves open to the high turnover of staff, lost productivity, absenteeism, civil claims in respect of stress, bullying and harassment and even claims for constructive dismissal. They may also find themselves in breach of Health and Safety legislation for failing to prevent stress-related injuries. As well as the impact on the victim, bullying at work leads to an unhappy workplace, and poor reputation.
Bullying at work is defined by the Irish Courts as repeated, inappropriate behaviour which undermines the victim’s dignity at work. Bullying takes many forms and can include direct or indirect physical, verbal, psychological or social abuse. Bullying is more than mere wrongdoing; it is intentional behaviour that harms the victim’s dignity and wellbeing.
An isolated incident is not bullying but may fall under the category of harassment, which is defined as unwanted conduct flowing from the victim’s age, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, disability, religion, family or civil status, or membership of the traveller community. Sexual harassment is unwanted conduct of a sexual nature. Harassment can be physical, verbal or other; any conduct that leaves the victim feeling that their dignity has been undermined based on their personal characteristics.
It is important to recognise behaviours that are not defined as bullying. These include instruction, disciplinary procedures, performance-management, conflicts or disrespectful behaviour; while such encounters may be unpleasant, they are not generally deemed to undermine the dignity of the individual.
If you feel you are being bullied or have experienced harassment at work, some steps you can take are to:
- tell someone, in particular
- keep a note of incidents and dates
- file a complaint under your organisation’s bullying policy
- access supports through your workplace’s employee assistance programme or external counselling,
- seek legal advice
- make a report to the health and safety authority
It can be easy to identify bullying by co-workers or by a manager towards a staff member, but it is also important to be conscious of the risk of upward bullying and the possibility of bullies from outside the organisation such as suppliers or clients. All employees should undergo training such as the Bullying and Harassment in the Workplace course to ensure that everybody is aware of what is expected of their conduct, and how they might protect themselves in the event of being bullied or harassed. Workers should be equipped to recognise and act if they feel that a colleague is being bullied; early intervention will protect the victim as well as the employer.
Managers should be further trained in how to behave towards staff, as well as in how to respond to complaints. Senior people in every organisation should be focused on building a healthy culture in the organisation; so that all employees know what is expected of their own behaviour and know that they will be supported in the event that they experience unwanted conduct. Healthy culture permeates from the top. All leaders should be aware of the risks arising from bullying and harassment in the workplace. They should also ensure that they are approachable to others in the organisation and equipped to correctly deal with disclosures of bullying or harassment. To that end, senior leaders may benefit from Eazysafe’s Senior Management Legal Brief course.
Employers are required to take all reasonable steps to avoid bullying and harassment in the workplace. The Safety Statement for the organisation should include the risks relating to bullying and the mitigation measures to be put in place. The main thing employers can do is to put in place an appropriate system of procedures to prevent and resolve issues of bullying and to ensure that these procedures are followed.
The very first step for employers is to ensure that their organisation has an appropriate and up-to-date bullying policy. At the very least this must include a reporting structure and the actions that will follow a report. The policy should be incorporated in every employment contract. It should be reviewed regularly, and readily available to employees, by way of publication in an accessible place.
The 2020 Code (1) provides for two levels of the informal resolution followed by a formal investigation. The important thing for employers to remember is that once the policy begins that all parties are entitled to fair procedures. In a recent case (2), an employee was awarded 7,000 where the procedure which followed her complaint had ‘ all the hallmarks of procedure made up on the back of a postage stamp.’
Individuals at all levels should be designated as bullying contacts; people who will be the first point of contact and support for anyone who experiences problems. This person must have the appropriate temperament, as well as be trained to respond appropriately to sensitive disclosures. They will not be involved in investigating, but provide a support role to the victim.
When disclosure of bullying or harassment is made, the policy should be strictly adhered to. This is important to protect the rights of both the accused and the accuser. Confidentiality is important, as is taking proper steps to ensure that the alleged victim is protected during the investigation, without ostracising the accused person.
It is vital to remember that employers can face serious consequences for an inappropriate response to bullying. In 2020 (3), an employee who was subjected to homophobic abuse at work was awarded eighteen months remuneration by the WRC in circumstances where the employer failed to properly investigate the complaint and failed to protect the employee from further harassment.
The WRC and HSA code on bullying (4) came into effect in January 2021; this puts some new obligations on employers, most notably in respect of taking steps to prevent bullying from occurring and in respect of ensuring that an appropriate bullying policy is in place and is followed.

US Supreme Court hears oral arguments on Biden’s vaccine mandates
The Biden administration wants to require millions of United States workers to get vaccinated or be regularly tested for COVID-19.

7 Jan 2022
The United States Supreme Court is mulling whether the Biden administration can require millions of workers at private companies and healthcare providers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or face regular coronavirus testing.
The top court justices heard more than three and a half hours of oral arguments on Friday in two cases that are challenging the Biden administration’s authority to impose sweeping vaccine requirements on the US’s large employers.
“This is something the federal government has never done before,” Chief Justice John Roberts said on Friday, casting doubt on the administration’s argument that a half-century of established law, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, give it broad authority.
At issue is whether the COVID-19 pandemic in the US outweighs legal claims that the administration overstepped its authority in requiring businesses with at least 100 employees to ensure workers are vaccinated or tested.
A rule published by the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in November requires businesses with 100 or more workers to see that employees are vaccinated or, if they are not, tested weekly and masked while working. There are exceptions for those who work alone or mostly outdoors.
The sweeping OSHA rule, upheld by a lower US court, applies to as many as 80 million US workers and it is scheduled to begin taking effect on January 10 unless the Supreme Court blocks enforcement.
Testing requirements for unvaccinated people and potential fines for employers that do not comply would begin in February.
Meanwhile, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services published a rule requiring a range of healthcare providers that receive federal funding to get employees fully vaccinated by January 4.
That rule was projected to affect more than 17 million workers in about 76,000 healthcare facilities as well as home healthcare providers.

Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett may determine the outcome in both cases. They have been more receptive to state-level vaccine requirements than the other three conservative justices.
The court’s three liberal justices suggested support for the employer rule. Justice Elena Kagan said officials have shown “quite clearly that no other policy will prevent sickness and death to anywhere like the degree that this one will”.
Justice Stephen Breyer said he found it “unbelievable” that it could be in the “public interest” to put the OSHA rule on hold, noting that on Thursday there were 750,000 new COVID-19 cases in the US and many hospitals are full.
Roberts, Kavanaugh and Barrett seemed to have fewer doubts about the healthcare vaccine mandate.
Kavanaugh said it was a “very unusual situation” that hospitals and healthcare organisations affected by the regulation were “not here complaining” about the rule but instead support it. “What are we to make of that?” he asked.
Nearly 207 million Americans, 62.3 percent of the population, are fully vaccinated, and more than a third of those have received booster shots, including the nine justices.
Andy Slavitt, a former public health adviser to the Biden administration on COVID-19, said the vaccine requirements are extremely effective for 15 percent to 20 percent of the population “who don’t like to get a shot, but they will and don’t have any strenuous objection”.

He was born in Venice and while still a boy he accompanied his father to Florence, and there acquired a love for that Tuscan form of speech which he afterwards cultivated in preference to the dialect of his native city. Having completed his studies, which included two years' devotion to Greek under Lascaris at Messina, he chose the ecclesiastical profession.
After a considerable time spent in various cities and courts of Italy, where his learning already made him welcome, he accompanied Giulio de' Medici to Rome, where he was soon after appointed secretary to Leo X. On the pontiff's death he retired, with impaired health, to Padua, and there lived for a number of years engaged in literary labours and amusements. In 1529 he accepted the office of historiographer to his native city, and shortly afterwards was appointed librarian of St Mark's.
The offer of a cardinal's hat by Pope Paul III took him in 1539 again to Rome, where he renounced the study of classical literature and devoted himself to theology and classical history, receiving before long the reward of his conversion in the shape of the bishoprics of Gubbio and Bergamo. He died on January 18 1547.
Bembo, as a writer, is the beau ideal of a purist. The exact imitation of the style of the genuine classics was the highest perfection at which he aimed. This at once prevented the graces of spontaneity and secured the beauties of artistic elaboration. One cannot fail to be struck with the Ciceronian cadence that guides the movement even of his Italian writings.
His works (collected edition, Venice, 1729) include a History of Venice (1551) from 1487 to 1513, dialogues, poems, and what we would now call essays. Perhaps the most famous are a little treatise on Italian prose, and a dialogue entitled Gli Asolani, in which Platonic affection is explained and recommended in a rather longwinded fashion, to the amusement of the reader who remembers the relations of the beautiful Morosina with the author. The edition of Petrarch's Italian Poems, published by Aldus in 1501, and the Terzerime, which issued from the same press in 1502, were edited by Bembo, who was on intimate terms with the great typographer. See Opere de P. Bembo (Venice, 1729); Casa, Vita di Bembo, in 2nd vol. of his works.

Audiobook Length: 7 hours and 18 minutes
First Published: 2008
In this stunning new book, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of “outliers”–the best and the brightest, the most famous and the most successful. He asks the question: what makes high-achievers different?
His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: that is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing. Along the way he explains the secrets of software billionaires, what it takes to be a great soccer player, why Asians are good at math, and what made the Beatles the greatest rock band.
Quotes from Outliers
Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good. It’s the thing you do that makes you good.
It is those who are successful, in other words, who are most likely to be given the kinds of special opportunities that lead to further success… Success is the result of what sociologists like to call “accumulative advantage.
Who we are cannot be separated from where we’re from.
Hard work is only a prison sentence when you lack motivation
We cling to the idea that success is a simple function of individual merit and that the world in which we all grow up and the rules we choose to write as a society don’t matter at all.
About Malcolm Gladwell

Flavourings have been used for many years in animal feed in order to guarantee its palatability. However, flavourings can go beyond just the aromatic note and bring functionalities to help animal production. How can flavourings be beneficial to animal production?
Animals are far more equipped than humans to smell and to taste what they eat. For example, a cow has 20,000 taste buds, when humans have only around 4600. The olfactory epithelium, essential to smell and taste, has a surface of around 30,000mm² in wild swine, and only 1125mm in humans.
All animals have natural sensibilities to olfactory molecules and the Porter Method adapted sets out the way to identify olfactory molecules which attract the animals or on the contrary that repel them. This recognised scientific protocol uses the chick model: chicks do have olfactory receptors and are easy to handle. The principle consists in observing the reaction of the chicks when a specific olfactory molecule is presented to its beak, where it has the receptors. The molecules are put in an eyedropper and either the chick shows signs of comfort and keeps its beak towards the eyedropper, or it shows discomfort and its head away from the eyedropper.
Animals also have natural preferences toward specific tastes. Young animals, like piglets or calves, have a preference for sweet. Ruminants will prefer green olfactory notes and do like some little acidity.
Smell is the first contact the animal has with its feed, with taste just behind. And considering the sensibility of animals to smells and tastes, flavourings have a role to play in animal production. The benefits of flavourings for livestock animals rely on various areas of expertise that go beyond the aromatic field.
Animals are neophobic, even a small change of smell or taste, which is considered as something new in their environment, can have a negative impact on their feed consumption. Using a flavouring enables the smoothening of changes of odour and taste of the feed due to the raw materials for example, and therefore to fight against the drops in feed intake due to feed changes. On that basis, feed transitions can be accompanied by flavourings to help the animals during these critical steps.
Konrad Lorenz (1903 – 1989), zoologist, identified and characterised the imprinting, as a faculty of learning through the senses, from birth until a variable period according to the species and individual. When a human being or an animal is born, the first experience is breathing in air and the olfactory molecules that are present.
Using this mechanism of imprinting, flavourings can be handled in order to avoid drops in feed intake during weaning and feed transitions. A same flavouring, incorporated into the mother’s feed and into the following feeds of the young animals, will appear to the young animals as a stable parameter, that the animals has always known and that doesn’t change. The animals will recognise it each time and won’t see the feed as a novelty, they will then enable them to keep their feed intake up during these critical stages with greater ease.
Moreover odour and memory are closely related. Hedonic perception of an odour and its related behaviour results from memorisation of both the flavour itself and the emotional context linked to it. It is why an odour perceived during the peri-maternal stage for mammalian is always integrated as attractive and reassuring.
Combining the smoothing role with an attractant functionality, makes a flavouring key to limit drops in animal feed intake.
Talking about nice odours and taste with flavourings seems logical, but also bad tastes. It can be due to specific raw materials, compounds, or combinations, like an important proportion of oilseed rape, or presence of minerals. As mentioned earlier animals are excellent at tasting and smelling pleasant but also bad notes. And bad taste is an important problem as they cause a drop in feed intake. Flavourings specifically developed to mask bad tastes can solve this problem to make it more acceptable by the animals and enable the feed manufacturer to still use the ingredients in question.
A flavouring is composed of volatile molecules, which is logical in order to be sensed by the nose, the molecules have to be airborne.
Flavourings have 2 missions:
Flavouring molecules are fragile compounds, due to their volatility. Despite that fact, a flavouring for pelleted feed needs therefore to be resistant to pelletisation. Indeed, the pelletisation process will impact the flavouring also impact its persistence and intensity, and it can also slightly change its olfactory profile. Therefore, when developing a flavouring to bring defined olfactory notes, the experts have to anticipate the changes that pelletisation will bring to the flavouring. A flavouring can be developed with quite some complexity in its structure to answer the needs after pelletisation reinforcing the most sensitive molecules to resist to thermal treatment (Figure 1). But it always has to be balanced to be agreeable in its pure form and be used in non-pelleted feed. Flavourings are adapted to the industrial process at different levels of resistance before pelletisation.
Smell is the first step before feed ingestion, followed closely by taste. Animal physiology makes them very sensitive to smell and taste, hence the essential role flavouring can play into the feed.
By improving the smell and taste of the feed, flavourings are an answer to feed challenges such as feed transitions, raw materials changes, bad tastes. On the taste front sweeteners are an excellent option to flavourings in order to boost the palatability of a feed.
Considering all the above, the current feed challenges animals are facing and the high production awaited, this is why flavourings have become a necessity and a valuable tool. Flavourings are a key lever to improve animal ‘better-being’ through their feed, hence helping animal production.

The value of a data-driven strategy
is the headline of the news that the author of WTM News has collected this article. Stay tuned to WTM News to stay up to date with the latest news on this topic. We ask you to follow us on social networks.
Since the beginning of the last decade, when access to high-performance computing became affordable, a double race related to a data-based strategy began: that of generation, and that of exploitation.
The first has to do with the production of a continuous flow of information from the sources, that is, the activity of the clients during the consumption of the products and the use of the services. For example, financial transactions such as the purchase and sale of securities on the stock market, or banking operations of individuals.
The second of the elements, exploitation, has to do with the development of algorithms from the analysis of the source data. In the financial example, machine learning models allow the construction of algorithms for the identification of fraudulent operations, or the detection of credit non-payment risks. Also, the detection of “good clients” to whom loans are granted without a previous solvency study, since the bank has done it, prevents it from the data available to it.
Barriers to growth: technology and human resources
Both facets of data, generation and exploitation, have been and continue to be two handicaps not only for growth, but also for the survival of many companies.
The generation is relatively simple compared to the second within the complexity involved in setting up a scalable computing infrastructure for a growing number of clients.
However, exploitation imposes a whole series of requirements to be able to put it into practice. The first of these is the collection of data in a structured way, something that must be done from the generation stage, as the data is received from the sources.
The second requirement is to have qualified personnel, analysts, specialized in information processing. Together with the data engineers, they design the recommendation algorithms, sales projections, etc. And also the dashboards for decision-making in the boards of directors of companies.
Survival and competitiveness
From this perspective, there are various challenges for companies, small and large, new and well-established.
One of them is that of survival, due to the rapid change in business models driven by digital.
In a data-driven strategy, exploitation imposes a whole series of requirements to be able to put it into practice
The second is not only to maintain, but also to increase competitiveness against new players that build their infrastructures from the Big Data and Cloud Computing paradigm. These new companies are much more agile due to their ability to immediately adopt new technologies, while existing ones have to face the cost of reconversion and recycling, which affects both the technological infrastructure and the training of human resources.
Big data to the rescue
Coping with this situation involves designing a data-based strategy that enables the exploitation of the large volume of information generated by customers.
Big Data arises from the moment the technology is available to squeeze data in real time. The origin is in the exponential increase in computing capacity: much more powerful computers at much lower prices. In computing jargon, this behavior obeys the well-known Moore’s law, by virtue of which computing capacity doubles every 2 years for the same cost of computing resources. This has been going on for fifty years, and we know that it will continue for at least ten more.
Which means that in the last two decades the capacity of computers and laptops has multiplied by more than 1000 without the need to increase economic investment, which has meant that the SME and small business sector finally has the opportunity to compete at the level of the great.
The reality is that a large part of our business fabric is at an early stage of developing a data-based strategy, which is conditioning its competitiveness, especially in the global market.
The emergence of the new generation of companies derived from the startup model is what is most driving the rapid renewal of the business fabric. It is a model that allows rapid growth with a small financial investment. And this is not only because of the use of technology, but because they have placed the value of data at the center of business strategy.
This is learning that pre-existing companies can and should apply to reinvent themselves and create new business opportunities.

Appcola vs the app Cola
Now, don’t confuse Appcola with the app Cola, an iOS app that serves as an all-in-one chat platform.
This is thanks to ‘Bubbles,’ an interactive chat feature of the app. According to creators, one Bubble can do what a dozen text messages can.
The same bubble also contains a range of information, such as flight information that is updated in real-time.
According to Cola CEO David Temkin, the company operates on the policy of “text less, do more.” And this is easily reflected on Bubble where you can do and see more without the need to switch apps.
Appcola is not the app named Cola
Just so we’re clear, we’re talking about Appcola and not the app Cola.

Cycle 13 – Item 186
10 (Sun) July 2022
at No Gyeong Seong
-Changgok, Sujeong, Seongnam, Gyeonggi, Republic of Korea-
with W and LHS
Wonton is a type of Chinese dish. It’s a dumpling, typically comprising minced pork and/or shrimp, plus aromatics, wrapped in a thin skin, commonly boiled, sometimes pan/deep-fried. The name means “cloud (雲 = wan/won) + swallowing (吞 = tan/ton),” signifying their appearance when floating in a soup (see for example 10.189 Clouds in Sky). In Korean, the Chinese characters are phoneticized as “wun (운) tan (탄),” though the dumplings are just called “wantang.”
In Mandarin, the same dumplings are referred to as “hundun (餛飩) = dumplings” (see for example 11.303 Baozi) (5 minutes of on-line research didn’t reveal a clear explanation as to the different nomenclature).
At this restaurant, the menu lists the item as “완탕 (훈둔) / wantang (hundun).”
Whatever the name, they’re okay. Mostly skin, much thinner than the hand-rolled skins of the mandu (see for comparison 13.146 Geon Dubu Bokkeum), with a tiny bit of filling. The soup includes a bit of shredded laver, making it taste like Korean mandu guk. The least remarkable dish that I’ve had here thus far.

Vatican News staff writer
“It is necessary to preserve the religious-cultural heritage, both national and international, that belongs to each of the religions. For this type of heritage, it is necessary to create innovative forms of valuing and use through close collaboration with state, regional and municipal public bodies,” said Monsignor Francesco Follo.
The Holy See’s Permanent Observer to UNESCO made this call on Thursday at an intercultural meeting held online, organized by PRERICO, the ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Places of Religion and Ritual.
The webinar themed: “Reuse and Regenerations of the Cultural Religious Heritage in the World - Comparison among Cultures,” aimed at starting a collective work with a common document on cultural-religious heritage. It also discussed the shared meaning and human values on which nations must build cultural policies in relation to other countries to preserve the cultural-religious heritage.
ICOMOS - the International Council on Monuments and Sites, is a non-government organization that works to conserve and protect cultural heritage places.
Preserving religious-cultural heritage
In his intervention Msgr. Follo stressed that the preservation of religious cultural heritage contributes significantly to the goal of educating new generations, passing on to them, through these religious-cultural roots, “the security of a past that can be the basis of the present and the guide in the future.”
In this regard, he highlights four recommendations from the Holy See which include: clearly identifying religious-cultural heritage to restore, guard, catalogue and promote them; establishing a “philosophy” of cultural goods that favors better knowledge and use of them in religious teaching, rites and cultures; favoring the formation of artistes on the theological, liturgical and iconographic contents of sacred places, and promoting cooperation between civil and religious leaders without forgetting the owners of the religious-cultural goods.
The value of religious cultural heritage
Explaining further, Msgr. Follo said that religious-cultural heritage sites are important for their cultural or historical values and their religious and current values. They are, therefore, endowed with religious values that give them a particular character deserving of a specific discipline and protection.
He noted that cultural sites are, and can be even more so, “bridges between different countries and peoples, promoting a culture of encounter in peace,” through to their reference to the transcendence of God, who is the source of fraternity.
Therefore, the approach we should have toward cultural heritage should not only consist in seeking to conserve the works of art as bearers of beauty, “but also and above all in highlighting the meaning and the religious-cultural value of the different elements that are part of a site, its cultural identity, the encounter with the community to which they belong, by placing them in their architectural, geographical and urban context.”
Protecting cultural heritage, he continued, “means guaranteeing an inclusive dialogue, a permanent encounter with the community in order to favour a true regeneration, respecting the values of the property to be protected.”
Holy See supports the protection of religious-cultural heritage
Msgr. Follo went on to reaffirm the Holy See’s support for initiatives aimed at promoting culture and the goods it produces “so that personal and social life can flourish in the good, the true and the beautiful.”
He stressed that it is a matter of helping to preserve the historical memory to be passed on to new generations, with those elements that have shaped the identity of a people, and that carry with them “a component of harmony, beauty and a sense of truth” that helps every man and woman grow in their own integral humanity.
The value of significance
Drawing attention to the planned work of restoration and reconstruction of churches, synagogues, mosques and temples, as well as other places of religious interest protected by UNESCO, Msgr Follo highlighted that the work of restoration and reconstruction implies “reconstituting the origin of a work” and finding “the generating fact that created its significance.”
He said that the value of significance is a priority that takes into account the needs of worship and the practices linked to it that must continue to be exercised there. It is, therefore, crucial to protect this “significance” in places of worship and reconstruct the elements that respond to the purpose for which the building was erected.
“Form preserves and transmits its beauty only if it adheres to its purpose, so as to preserve the perception of its identity,” he stressed.
Msgr. Follo went on to further call for efforts to identify and analyze the different forms of destruction of places of worship, noting that only “knowledge of the reasons, the context and the intentions of the processes of destruction of the religious heritage allows us to define the responsibilities in the short, medium and long term and to develop and implement sustainable protection strategies.”
Finally, he reiterated the Holy See’s desire that places of worship be left to believers, non-believers and future generations in keeping with the preservation of cultural heritage and its fundamental religious dimension.

Getting designs and prototypes made is a foundational step in the advancement of any item. Research and Development departments of companies all over the world are continuously on the lookout for better methods to establish designs based upon their plans and designs. Making designs by hand can be extremely time consuming and, typically, less exact than machine-tooled models. This is why 3D printing is on the increase. A growing number of companies have discovered that sending their designs to a 3D printer and having them manufactured in resin is a great method to get a design of their design made up quickly and precisely.

Rolling Tools - If your workshop is doubling as something else, like a place to park your automobile during the night, you'll need to be able to move tools and equipment around when you are finished working. Your local home center has all kinds of neat casters and rolling devices that you can install on the bottom of your benches and tools to make them movable when you need to. The wheels can be locked so they will not move during your sessions. While wheels are optional, they are a far better option than trying to by hand raise and move heavy tools and benches.
Once they are cut into shape, they are transported off to the manufacturer of the tap handles. Once again, this is not the standard procedure for all manufacturers of beer tap manages. However, lots of use a software application called autocad that enables producers to see the beer tap handle on the computer with a total mock up before it goes to the flooring. Some manufacturers even have machines that utilize the AutoCad software application to make cuts and trims like what you might see at Orange County Choppers where Paul Teutul Sr. develops a few of the most famous choppers today.

Since its discovery in 1977, Chiron has been variously classified in astronomy, with categorizations ranging from a planet, to a satellite of Saturn, to an asteroid. We have now established that is a large periodic comet of the solar system belonging to the class of Centaur asteroids, between the orbits of Saturn and Uranus. It even has rings!
Chiron takes fifty years to complete a revolution around the Sun. With its eccentric orbit, Chiron stays in a zodiac sign for a variable amount of time, ranging from a maximum of over eight years in Aries to a meagre year and a half in Libra:
Below is a list of Chiron's stays in each sign of the zodiac since 1927, and includes a top-level theme per sign. If you were born on a month at the beginning or end of the stay in a sign, calculate your chart to get your exact natal placement.
As is the case with the other slow-moving objects, the interpretation by sign applies to a generation rather than the individual. The detailed assessment of Chiron in a house, on the contrary carries great significance in an individual's life.

Rolling bearings make precision parts, so it is required to be cautious when using them. Since high-performance bearings are used, if they are not used properly, they can not achieve the expected performance effect. Therefore, the following matters should be paid attention to when using Schaeffler bearings:
Keep the bearings and their surroundings clean. Even if the invisible smile dust enters the bearing, it will increase the wear, vibration and noise of the bearing.
When using and installing, it shall be careful. It is not allowed to punch with force, directly knock the bearing with a hammer, and transfer pressure through the rolling body.
Use proper and accurate installation tools, try to use special tools, and try to avoid using cloth and short fiber.
Prevent the bearing from rusting. When taking the bearing directly by hand, fully wash the sweat from your hands and apply high-quality mineral oil before operation. Pay special attention to rust prevention in rainy season and summer.
Selection and control of shaft and bearing housing tolerance: the bearing shall rotate flexibly without blocking feeling after being pressed into Schaeffler bearing. If there is obvious inflexible rotation, it indicates that the size of the shaft is too large and the tolerance should be reduced.
If there is an obvious “rusty” feeling when the bearing is rotated by hand after being put into the bearing, it may be that the tolerance of the Schaeffler Bearing bearing is too large or the roundness of the bearing is not good.
Therefore, when controlling the tolerance of shaft and bearing chamber, it is also necessary to Schaeffler Bearing control the roundness. At present, many domestic manufacturers only control the tolerance, not the roundness.
if it is not assembled properly, it is easy to damage the bearing channel and lead to bearing damage. The bearing shall be equipped with a special mold during assembly, which cannot be knocked at will. When pressing the shaft, only the small ring can be stressed, and when pressing the large ring, only the large ring can be stressed.
Pneumatic or hydraulic pressure is required during assembly. During press assembly, the upper and lower molds shall be outside the horizontal state. If there is inclination, the Schaeffler bearing channel will be damaged due to stress and the bearing will make a guide sound.
Prevention of assembly foreign matters: when the bearing is installed on the rotor for dynamic balance, it is easy to enter the iron filings generated during dynamic balance into the bearing,
so it is necessary to perform Schaeffler Bearing dynamic balance before installing the bearing. In order to facilitate assembly, some manufacturers apply some oil or grease in the bearing chamber for lubrication effect during assembly, but it is often difficult for operators to control the amount.
If more oil or grease is accumulated in the bearing chamber, it is easy to enter the bearing along the shaft when the bearing rotates. The bearing chamber shall not be coated with oil or grease. If it must be coated, it shall be controlled and there shall be no accumulation in the bearing chamber.
Prevention of paint rust: paint rust is often found in sealed motors. The sound of the motor is very good during assembly, but after being Schaeffler Bearing placed in the warehouse for some time, the abnormal noise of the motor becomes very large, and there is serious rust when removing the bearing.
In the past, many manufacturers thought it was the bearing problem. After our continuous publicity, now the motor factory has realized that the main problem is the insulating paint. This problem is mainly because the acidic substances volatilized from the insulating paint form corrosive substances at a certain temperature and humidity,
which corrodes the bearing channel and leads to bearing damage. At present, the problem can only be to select good insulating paint and assemble after drying and Schaeffler Bearing ventilation for a period of time.
The service life of the bearing is closely related to manufacturing, assembly and use. It must be done well in each link in order to make the Schaeffler bearing in a good running state and prolong the service life of the bearing.

Diogenes: The Crazy Greek Philosopher Plato Called ‘Socrates Gone Mad’!
Diogenes (412 BC- 323 BC) was a Greek philosopher like no other. One of the founders of the cynic philosophy, Diogenes believed that people should live simple lives that reject all natural desires for wealth, power, or fame. Instead, he encouraged people to live a life of intentional hardship and not be bound by social conventions. And boy oh boy did Diogenes practice what he preached. And there are more than a few reasons for Plato thinking he was “A Socrates gone mad.”
Diogenes: A Cynic Connected with the Philosophy of Socrates
The cynics were a group of ancient Greek philosophers who were a separate branch of Socratic philosophy. They believed that nature offers the best indication of how to live a good life. And that people should strive for reason, self-sufficiency, and freedom. Social conventions, therefore, are a hindrance to a good life because adhering to society’s rules limits one’s freedom. Such conventions were often ridiculed by the cynics, who believed that only when one has freed oneself from social conventions, such as the desire to chase fame and fortune , can one truly be free.

Diogenes of Sinope, however, took these beliefs to an extreme. He was likely a student of the philosopher Antisthenes, who he met following his arrival in Athens. He was exiled from his hometown following a scandal that involved currency debasement, causing him to lose his citizenship and his move to Athens. Upon meeting Antisthenes, Diogenes asked to be enrolled in his school and become his student. At first, Antisthenes refused, but eventually, he was worn down by Diogenes’ persistence.
Both Diogenes and Antisthenes shared many common beliefs but mainly a belief in self-control and the pursuit of excellence in one’s own behavior, which included the rejection of all unnecessary things such as personal possessions and social status. Even so, Antisthenes must have been shocked at just how far Diogenes took things to live a life in accordance with these beliefs.
Diogenes was considered to be mad or crazy because he took the beliefs of the cynics to incredible extremes. (freshidea / Adobe Stock )
But Why was Diogenes Considered Mad?
Diogenes didn’t have a house, instead, he lived in a huge wine cask lying on its side. He had no possessions apart from a cup he used for eating and drinking, but he threw this away in disgust when he saw a boy drinking water from his hands and realized he didn’t even need a cup to sustain himself. He didn’t work either, instead, he chose to live off the charity of others. All of these things can be said with assurance, however, there are many rumors and legends about Diogenes that are hard to verify.
Despite the fact that these myths are impossible to verify, they do line up with Diogenes own personal beliefs. He believed that manners were simply lies used to hide the true nature of the individual. Given the importance of the cynics to live according to their beliefs, it is not hard to imagine that a lot of the myths about Diogenes are in fact true.
- The Acropolis Of Athens: A Golden Age Legacy
- Can You Imagine a Taxation System Where the Wealthy Competed to Pay the Highest Taxes? It Really Happened!
Given this disdain for manners, Diogenes was known for his brutal honesty in conversation. He had no regard for social etiquette whatsoever and was known to frequently urinate and masturbate in public. When he was criticized for this, he pointed out that what he was doing was normal, and that everyone engaged in these activities, but hid in private what he did openly. These social norms , he believed, were completely artificial and had no real use in making someone a good person. If an act was not shameful in private, then it should not be shameful in public.
And that brings us to one of the most famous stories about this mad philosopher. Diogenes walked around Athens, holding a lit lantern up to the face of everyone who passed him, claiming he was searching for an honest man or a true human being. In doing so, he confronted the people of Athens with their lifeless and shallow lives and encouraged them to wake up from the make-believe world they lived in and become fully aware of themselves. Because of this rather unusual behavior, many labelled him as mentally ill, or a madman. Diogenes, however, believed he was living a completely honest life and encouraging others to do the same.
Diogenes, perhaps unsurprisingly, did not hesitate to insult his social superiors, including Plato and even Alexander the Great. When Plato defined human beings as featherless bipeds and was praised for the brilliance of his definition. So, Diogenes plucked a chicken, brought it to Plato’s academy and declared “Behold – Plato’s human being.” This caused Plato to add, “with broad, flat nails” to his definition. Diogenes insulted Plato on numerous occasions, but this was the most famous incident.
Even the most powerful rulers of all time were not exempt from the ridicule of Diogenes. When Diogenes was living in Corinth, Alexander the Great came to visit the city and was very interested in meeting the famous philosopher. He found Diogenes resting in the sunlight and introduced himself, asking him if there was anything he could do for him. Diogenes simply replied “Yes. Get out of my sunlight.” Alexander admired the spirit, bravery, and intelligence of the man, saying “If I were not Alexander, I would wish to be Diogenes.” Diogenes replied, “If I were not Diogenes, I would also wish to be Diogenes.”
Diogenes was certainly a man of the people, and he was loved by many in Athens and also in Corinth, as this painting by John William Waterhouse suggests. (John William Waterhouse / Public domain )
Diogenes: A Man of the People of His Day
Despite his eccentric behavior , or perhaps because of it, Diogenes came to be adored by the citizens of Athens. When a boy broke his wine casket, the people had him beaten and replaced the casket. Given Diogenes disdain for possessions, this probably amused him. At some point in later life Diogenes was captured by pirates and sold into slavery in Corinth. He was asked what talents he had and replied, “That of governing men” and pointed to a man named Xeniades saying “Sell me to that man; for he wants a master.” Diogenes believed so strongly in himself that the men did what he asked.
Diogenes was put in charge of tutoring Xeniades’ sons and eventually was considered part of the family. He lived with Xeniades family in Corinth for the rest of his life before dying at the age of ninety. Even in Corinth, the citizens had come to adore him and buried him with honors at the city gate with a monument over his grave. Even in death, however, Diogenes mocked social etiquette, because he wished for his corpse to be thrown to the dogs to feed on!

A new community for women exposing corporate and government fraud, Women Whistleblowers, announced its official launch on October 24th. A combination of a website, Facebook group, and other online resources, Women Whistleblowers is geared toward bringing whistleblowers out of the shadows and helping everyone understand the extraordinary impact that women play in reporting fraud in the workplace.
For years, while men have dominated the boardroom, women have watched from the sidelines. In those positions, they are ironically better placed to observe fraud. Combined with a willingness to take moral risks and lower tolerance for business risk, women have blown open some of the most significant fraud cases in the country, including JP Morgan Chase, WorldCom, and the Enron scandal that toppled the company.
The Women Whistleblowers website, located at womenwhistleblowers.com, features articles, interviews, and reports about women who have followed their consciences and stepped forward to protect those in weaker positions. The site also features a Facebook page and Twitter feed that provides the latest news on women whistleblowers.
The site focuses on why women make great whistleblowers. One reason is that women risk less by speaking up because they’re not part of the good old boys’ network. Another reason is that women have a protective instinct to speak up, attributed to the “motherhood gene.”
The group believes that for every high-profile whistleblower, such as Erin Brockovich (PG&E) Sherron Watkins (Enron) and Karen Silkwood (Kerr-McGee), there are many more courageous women ready to speak up. In some industries, like healthcare, banking and government administration, women are kept out of the boardroom and often relegated to bookkeeping duties, placing them in ideal positions to observe and record wrongdoing. Healthcare is the best example, since 80 percent of employees are women. Healthcare whistleblower cases commonly involve hospital systems, doctor’s offices, pharmaceutical companies, medical testing facilities, Medicare providers and health insurance companies.
“We hope to start a movement where women who observe wrongdoing can report it, fight back and win,” said Jessica Copen, a senior writer and reporter for the site. “With the right law firm behind it, Women Whistleblowers has the potential to change the business landscape significantly and expose the egregious cases of fraud happening in boardrooms all across the country.”

Following is a transcript of the video.
At the bottom we have a peppery-tasting arugula. While it's got Vitamins A and K, it's lacking a real nutrient punch.
Next is the perennial, burger-topping iceberg lettuce. You'll need 33 cups of the stuff to get your daily Vitamin C.
Our purple friend here is called radicchio. It's packed with more than 100% of the Vitamin K you need in a day. That’s the vitamin that promotes blood-clotting to help wounds heal.
Leaf lettuce is one the most nutritious in our lettuce family. Low in calories — high in vitamins A and K!
Endive is a bitter cousin of radicchio. Loaded with vitamins, it has 20% of the vitamin A you'll need. Vitamin A is an essential part of normal vision and a health immune system.
This pretty red and green leaf is chard. And it's a powerhouse. We're talking 300% of your daily vitamin K.
As well as magnesium to control blood pressure, glucose levels and to help muscle and nerve functions.
Coming near the top is — butter lettuce? It's also called Boston or Bibb lettuce. But unlike real butter, this is crammed with folate, iron, and potassium.
No Caesar salad is complete without romaine lettuce. The CDC calls this a top 10 powerhouse food. One cup has more than 80% of your vitamin A.
And at the very top we have a tie!
Popeye was right! Spinach is a phytonutrient-packed beast. Filled with both iron and potassium, it's got what you need to regulate blood pressure. And 402% of that Vitamin K.
Tied with spinach for first is Kale.One cup has all the Vitamin A, C, and K you need for the day.
Next time you're on salad duty, you got this one covered.

With so many options available, where does one start shopping for the perfect set of blinds? Here are some important things to keep in mind while choosing blinds for your home.
Let’s answer some important questions:
Do you have the right-sized window?
Blinds work perfectly on smaller windows. Operating a blind on a large window can turn out a bit clumsy. Use blinds on small windows for a neat and smart look.
Smaller windows are dressed better in blinds than larger ones! Homes of Suma Radheshyam (L) and Chandini Santosh (R)
Is your room the right size for a blind?
Curtains may seem a bit voluminous if you are trying to dress windows in a small room. Blinds work well in small apartments because they are compact and space efficient.
Do you need to cut glare and maintain your privacy while sitting next to your window?
According to Chotti Barua, from Blind Love, the Double Blind works best. “They help to block out the glare during the day and maintain privacy during the night.”
Misha Pamnany from The Swadeshi Store in Koramangala explains further, “Certain kind of fabrics bring a lot of texture when the light falls through them. They bring a certain amount of ambience to the room. We have different kinds of fabrics depending on privacy required; with lots of light streaming in, or no light at all. The drawback is that blinds are difficult to wash.”
Different rooms require different levels of privacy; Homes of Suma Radheshyam (L) and Giles Knapton (R)
How do the blinds operate?
There are both hand-operated and motorised blinds available in the market. The motorised ones are usually meant for those out of reach windows. If you do go for a manual one, make sure to try it out at the store to ensure a smooth mechanism. Blinds are typically easier to operate when made within 4 feet in width.
Once you have a clear understanding of where, how many and what kind of blinds suit you best, you can make decisions on colours, patterns and fabrics.
According to Chotti: “There are ready made blinds that come from China, but if you would like to individualise your space, then get them custom made.”
For those who prefer earthy tones, blinds also come in new natural materials such as those derived from banana or hibiscus fibres. The traditional chattai is still a very popular choice and practical for outdoor spaces.
Homes of Chandini Santosh (L) and Joerg & Txuku (R)
Mithesh Samadarya, Partner at Petals Lifestyle says that the Roman blinds have taken off in a big way. He also adds: “People have started travelling internationally very often and find blinds more reasonably priced in India.” He suggests bold colours depending on the rest of the furniture. A “mood colour board” also helps identify shades that fall into the same family. He observes that vibrant colours are taking over the subtle shades this season and that floral patterns are also very popular.
Chotti, on the other hand, suggests the simplest design in blinds. She believes that neutral shades give you the flexibility to change your cushions and bed spreads whereas changing the design of your window displays every season can be an expensive proposition.

Nothing can get those salivary glands flowing like the anticipation of devouring a flavorful pizza. Pizza is one of the most beloved foods in the USA, right up there with burgers and apple pie. When considering the variety of ingredients that go into making a pizza, it is hard to discount the importance of herbs. The selection of herbs that are used in pizza sauce and toppings have a huge impact on the taste of the final product. Fresh herbs can make all the difference; they can make even the most basic pizza to a delicious mouth-watering experience. That said, it is important to recognize that, where herbs are concerned, not all are created equal.
The Taste Difference Between Using Dried Herbs and Fresh Herbs
Most of us are familiar with the usual frozen pizza fare stocked at our local grocers. At Dogtown Pizza, we make sure to use fresh hand-cut basil in all of our Tomato Basil Pizzas, and that is what sets us apart from other guys. If we are honest with ourselves, these frozen varieties often elicit only a ho-hum response from our families. Why is that? Most frozen pizzas are created on a massive scale using average to sub-par ingredients. People buy these frozen pizzas because we are seeking the convenience of having a pizza readily available in their freezer. Our Dogtown Pizza family believes that you should never have to sacrifice flavor for convenience.
The Dogtown Difference
At Dogtown Pizza, our gourmet varieties of frozen pizza do it differently than those massive frozen pizza manufacturers. One clear example of the difference is in the quality of ingredients we use. The majority of frozen pizzas utilize dried herbs to cut costs. We will not sacrifice flavor to shave a few cents off of production prices. Click here to check out this video of Dogtown Pizza owner Rick Schaper cutting basil in our production kitchen.
There is a Time and a Place for Dried Herbs
Certain herbs, such as finely chopped rosemary, can be better experienced in a dried version, where leafy herbs, like basil, are best used fresh. Now, if you are simmering a sauce for hours, it really doesn’t matter if you use fresh or dried herbs because of the long cooking time. Fresh hand-cut basil provides our pizza with a boost of flavor that is a refreshing surprise. For the most satisfying frozen pizza experience, select the brand that uses fresh hand-cut basil.
Dogtown Pizza uses the finest ingredients available, most of our ingredients are also locally sourced from people right here in St. Louis! Our goal is to keep your family smiling by continuing to put delicious Dogtown Pizza in your freezer!

The Enterprise File Fabric’s Secure Data Management solution is a powerful way to enable sharing and collaboration on company documents with other company team members using existing company storage resources, whether that is on -cloud or on-premises. Additionally, secure link sharing provides an audited compliant way for users to provide password protected links to people outside of a company. However, what about when users want to easily invite people external to a company to securely share and collaborate on documents?by
The Enterprise File Fabric™ has a very good internal authentication system. It uses a strong one way hash function, salts the passwords before it hashes them, and stores the hash values and not the passwords. If the File Fabric was the only asset for which an enterprise required access control, then there would be no need for additional authentication options.by
A pre Covid-19 Microsoft commissioned Harvard Business Review research report looks at how the proliferation of corporate data may require global companies to alter their data security, privacy, risk, and compliance policies and it found that:by
Over 750 SMB’s (Small to Medium Businesses) took part in the survey which was conducted in the first quarter of 2020, in February and March. Of the respondents 554 where classed as enterprise respondents as opposed to 196 Small to Medium Business respondents. SMB’s were defined as having fewer than 1,000 employees whereas enterprise was defined as having more than 1,000 employees.by
As every information security professional knows, constant vigilance is required to ensure that enterprise information is adequately protected. The widespread adoption of cloud and hybrid infrastructures over the past decade have only amplified the requirement, and today’s demand for remote working at scale brings yet another set of challenges.
If you are working to keep your organization’s information safe under these dynamic conditions, it may be helpful to be familiar with the ways that the Enterprise File Fabric™ can be configured to provide and enforce strong protection of data through encryption, both in flight and at rest.by
Covid-19 has shattered the normality we are all used to. Governments and health organisations are scrambling to try and control the virus at present. To prevent the spread of infection, different countries have been restricting movement to cope with the pandemic. The main rule, work from home where you can. Only travel if absolutely necessary. Now more than ever, the importance of remote working is crucial, not only to keep your business from staying afloat, but also to protect your staff, as well as others.
One difficult challenge for companies is enabling employees to have the same experience no matter where they are, whether they are working from home, in the office, or working whilst on-the-go, and irrespective of the operating system they are using, be this Windows or Mac OSX. CloudEdit is one feature of the File Fabric than can enable employees to achieve just this.by
Interest in letting employees to work from home has never been higher and will remain high even after the Covid-19 virus has run its course. For Companies large and small the key challenge is how to make Company data available remotely in a way that is easy for employees to use without compromising on information security. The Enterprise File Fabric™ offers an unmatched set of features to support secure remote working. In this post we’ll see how to set up the File Fabric in less than an hour to provide secure remote access to on-premises data, be that SMB, NAS / SAN or Microsoft DFS shares. The best part is that data is not copied or removed anywhere, it remains in the same secure place and the File Fabric provides web scale secure access to it .by
One of the things the Coronavirus Covid-19 has brought sharply into focus is the topic of employee remote working. Whether this is to limit the spread of the virus or because employees are self isolating, many companies may find themselves in a position where a significant part of their workforce is working out of the office.
The aim of this post is to outline how the File Fabric software may help companies who wish to prepare or facilitate remote working.
Firstly some background on the File Fabric. The File Fabric is a secure multi-cloud content management data collaboration solution. It does not provide any storage rather it indexes and works with existing on-premise or on-cloud storage silos. It unites files in these disparate storage platforms to provide a single cohesive way for people to securely work and collaborate.
The File Fabric has a strong ethos and governance and compliance of the data that it indexes and makes available providing event based audit and configurable compliance policies.
There are three ways to use the File Fabric today:
1. For small businesses from our SaaS hosted platform. This version of the File Fabric does not have all of the features of the enterprise version.
2. Enterprise Version that is self hosted by a company and can be deployable on-premises or on-cloud.
3. For free using our self hosted personal version.
Let’s take a looks at some of the challenges and solutions that may be faced by remote workers and how the File Fabric solves them.by
This is a follow on from our similar blog post on integrating Slack with the File Fabric.
Microsoft Teams is an alternative to Slack that has gained a lot of traction particularly in the last couple of week because of the need for employees to work from home. We have had several requests of how the File Fabric can be used within Teams and this post outlines how this can be achieved.by
The File Fabric has a specific integration with Slack that promotes securely sharing files, from just about any storage repository, directly from Slack. To add the File Fabric to a Slack account simply add it from the Slack marketplace.by
As companies undergo Digital Transformation they increasingly hold more and more sensitive information. Such information can take many forms including, but not limited too, Protected Health Information (PHI), Personally Identifiable Information (PII), and Sensitive Personal Information (SPI).
Sensitive information such as this can be securely managed by the Enterprise File Fabric™ by combining Content Discovery and Data Automation rules to perform specific actions when new files are added to the File Fabric. The File Fabric facilitates this through the use of metadata. Metadata is data that provides information about other data.by
Every organization looking to become compliant with the existing and emerging regulations will need to perform multi-dimensional analysis of how they are handling and storing personal data.
Ensuring data, particularly sensitive data, is secured when at-rest is critically important to data security.
The Enterprise File Fabric is a hybrid multi-cloud data management platform that provides a unified solution for data security, compliance, search and collaboration.
The Enterprise File Fabric’s FIPS certified encryption feature not only helps to ensure data is secured at-rest, but also adds an additional layer of encryption when data is stored remotely. This post explores the various encryption options that are available.by

Thursday was “due day” for the Sanctuary Projects in Bible III. We’ve been studying about the Sanctuary and its services this quarter, and the major project was to complete a model of the tabernacle in the wilderness. While the models needed to represent all the major features of the tabernacle, there were no specifications about the materials used the make the model. Students were very creative. Some students used lego bricks. Others made a cake. Others used materials pulled from the trash can. One distance student submitted a drawing.
“God’s people are now to have their eyes fixed on the heavenly sanctuary, where the final ministration of our great High Priest in the work of the judgment is going forward,—where He is interceding for His people” Evangelism 223. “Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary” Psalm 77:13.

The need for regulatory action on inorganic arsenic in baby foods
Rice-based baby food has been in the news headlines lately due to potentially concerning levels of arsenic and other heavy metals. Infants and young children are vulnerable consumers, and the levels of contaminants to which they are exposed are assessed with greater scrutiny due to the lower body weight and thus lower levels of contaminants they can tolerate. This article covers why arsenic is of concern, its toxicological limits, how arsenic gets into rice, how it can be measured in the laboratory and on the field, and the regulatory limits for arsenic in baby food (if any) in Australia and other major jurisdictions, as well as pertinent international standards. Finally, the article discusses the levels of arsenic in rice products on the Australian market and the need for further regulatory measures regarding inorganic arsenic in baby food.

Tanzanians are celebrating their Nation’s 60th Anniversary of Independence.
During its time as Tanganyika, the country attained its freedom from the British on the 9th of December 1961.
Previously, the precinct was under Germany rule, then known as German East Africa.
At Independence the ruling party was Tanganyika African National Union (TANU). Across the border, there was the Kenya African National Union (KANU).
Though the independence of Tanganyika was a countrywide effort only a few people were given credit for the feat.
Around this time, next year 2022, the country will then be observing another 60th milestone of since it became a republic, under the Tanganyika title.
Next August 2022 Tanzania will be conducting a natiowide, Population and Housing Census. At the moment is estimated that, the country has 60 million people.
During Independence, in 1961, the country, then called Tanganyika had only 8 million people. This means, at least 50 million residents were born after Independence.
In last six decades, the country has since undergone six phases of presidential leadership.
Phase 1: Julius Kambarage Nyerere (1962 – November 1985). The longest serving, with a record of 23 years in office. Started out as Prime Minister after independence.
Phase 2: Ali Hassan Mwinyi (November 1985 – October 1995), steered the country into the democratic, multiparty rule in 1992.
Phase 3: Benjamin William Mkapa (November 1995 – December 2005). Credited for transforming Tanzania’s economy for the better.
Phase 4: Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete (December 2005 – November 2015). Infrastructural development was realized under his tenure.
Phase 5: John Pombe Magufuli (November 2015 – March 2021) Unfortunately he became the first head of state to die in office.
Phase 6: Samia Suluhu Hassan (March 2021 – Incumbent). She is the first female president since Independence.
Some notable events in the journey from Tanganyika to Tanzania
1961 – Tanganyika Independence
1962– Republic of Tanganyika formed
1964 – Tanganyika merges with Zanzibar Islands to create the United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar (April), which became Tanzania later in October.
1967 – President Nyerere introduced African Socialism (Ujamaa) amid mixed reactions.
1972 – Assassination of Zanzibar President, Abeid Amani Karume in Stone Town.
1977– Mainland ruling party TANU was merged with Isles’ Afro-Shiraz to form the Chama Cha Mapinduzi party.
1978 – 1979 – War with Uganda (Or at least against Idd Amin’s army)
1984 – (April) Prime Minister Edward Moringe Sokoine killed in Road Crash
1999 – Founding President, Mwalimu Nyerere dies at London’d Saint Thomas Hospital in October.
2001 – (July) Vice President Omar Ali Juma dies in Dar-es-Salaam. He is replaced by Ali Mohammed Shein.

In a series beginning with Steps Toward Sunday School Change, Part 1, I shared eight steps toward change: prayer, attention, evaluation, motivation, commitment, ownership, action, and repeat. I pointed out that leadership is the medium in which those steps are carried out. Without leadership, those steps will stall in being carried out.
In this series, I have applied each of those eight steps to the context of the Sunday School class pursuing a specific change: leading the class to shift focus to prospects and people not in the class. Most class change will be led by the teacher, but class change will benefit from involvement of others in the class besides the teacher. In other words, greater ownership for the change will help create motivation and momentum for the change.
I almost skipped this post because it seemed so obvious. Then I began thinking through that thought. I realized that this step (repeat) is absolutely essential to ensure that the Sunday School class change that was pursued lasts. Many drop change efforts after they have begun. Without reinforcement and continued work, few changes will have lasting results.
What can be done to help the class repeat efforts for Sunday School class change, in this case focusing on prospects and people not in the class? Like in previous posts of this series, let me list a few of the many possibilities:
- as a class, stop to give God praise and thanks for the change progress;
- update progress and celebrate with the class;
- debrief the progress with other leaders and/or the whole class;
- share testimonies of ministry touches with and responses by prospects and those not in the class;
- share testimonies of new people enrolled now in the class;
- adjust focus and reaching efforts as needed;
- don’t stop raising the value of efforts that have begun in this direction;
- assign ongoing responsibility for the change to a class member/leader;
- and many, many more.
What actions would you add to this list? How have you successfully led your class to repeat or reinforce a change (help it to be ongoing)? How would your class repeat a focus on prospects and people not in the class? Press Comments below and share your ideas. Without the first steps, you may not be ready to take action or repeat the change our Lord desires for your class. How can you lead them?
What change does God desire for your class? Pray for the change. Give it attention. Stop to evaluate. Motivate attenders to focus on the change. Lead them to commit and own the change. Do it. Repeat! Listen to God before, during, and after the change. Follow His leadership. Help others to see the need for change and invite them to join as you gain their attention and their involvement in evaluation and action. Be revolutionary!
Here are the first six posts of this series: First Step Toward Sunday School Class Change: Prayer, Second Step Toward Sunday School Class Change: Attention, Third Step Toward Sunday School Class Change: Evaluation, Fourth Step Toward Sunday School Class Change: Motivation, Fifth Step Toward Sunday School Class Change: Commitment, Sixth Step Toward Sunday School Class Change: Ownership, and Seventh Step Toward Sunday School Class Change: Action.

You and I are living in the most intense time in human history. It's no time to cower in fear or even to allow darkness and evil to prevail—it's a time to use the authority God has given us!
In Luke 10:19 Jesus told us, "Look, I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. And nothing shall by any means hurt you."
Now, I've known about my authority in Christ for a while; I just don't always remember to use it! Has that happened to you? Sometimes I just allow things to go on that I shouldn't instead of using the authority Jesus gave me.
I believe there are three things we must be aware of in order to use this authority Jesus has given us:
—We have to know what it is.
—We have to know it belongs to us.
—We have to know how to use it.
What Authority Is
The authority that Jesus is talking about in Luke 10:19 is not brute-force power. It's delegated power, much like a policeman possesses. When a policeman steps out in front of traffic and holds up his hand to stop it, he's not stopping cars and trucks with his own brute strength—he's stopping them with the delegated authority that comes from wearing the uniform. He's backed by the law.
That's the authority you have in Christ. You're not stopping the forces of darkness (sickness, fear, evil, lack) with your own strength—you're stopping them with the delegated authority given to you by God in Christ. You're backed by all the power of God.
How amazing is that—God Almighty Himself is the power behind your authority? Ephesians 6:10b says, "Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might" (author's emphasis). That means you can step out in front of the devil, hold up your hand and say no, backed by the power of God's might.
Authority Belongs to Us
The Bible says that you are the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:27). Jesus is the head; we are the body—and His authority is perpetuated through the body. When Jesus rose from the dead, He transferred His authority on earth to His body, the church. In God's mind, when Christ was raised, we were raised
Ephesians 2:6 (NLT) says that God "raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus." Both the head and the body are seated there, next to God, in the place of power and authority. That means you are seated there! You are seated in the power position, and you are His heir (Rom. 8:17). That means that everything that's His—including His authority—now belongs to you.
How to Use Authority
The door to exercising your authority in Christ hinges on Ephesians 1:20 and Ephesians 2:6, the verses that say we are seated with God in Christ. I encourage you to meditate on those until you fully grasp the revelation that you are seated with Him, and you are the one He moves through.
Then when adversity arises, use your authority by speaking out what His Word says, using the name of Jesus. For example, you could say, "Sickness, I command you to leave my body in Jesus' name according to 1 Peter 2:24—by His stripes, I am healed!" The authority is in the name.
It's like using the name of the president of a company—that name can get things done. It's the same in the spirit realm, except that the name of Jesus is higher and carries more weight than any other name (Phil. 2:9).
Think about that! When you use the name of Jesus, believing that you're seated with Him at the right hand of God, you are backed by all the power in heaven! Every knee must bow to that name (Phil. 2:10).
Jesus made it very clear that His name is the key to all authority: "You call Me Teacher and Lord. You speak accurately, for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet" (John 13:13-14, MEV).
In Acts 3, when Peter and John encountered a lame man at the Gate Beautiful, they said, "In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk" (Acts 3:6b), and he did! It wasn't their own anointing or power that raised the man; it was the authority in the name of Jesus. That same authority belongs to us; using the name of Jesus is how we exercise it!

The area now known as Mato Grosso do Sul was scarcely settled before the mid-1900s. Initial settlement was mainly by pioneering gold seekers who migrated west from São Paulo in the early 18th century. Mato Grosso, the mother state, became a district of the captaincy of São Paulo in 1719 and a state of the federal union in 1889. Mato Grosso do Sul was created in 1979 from the southern portion of Mato Grosso state.
After the exploitation of the region’s gold- and diamond-rich placer mines declined, cattle ranching became prominent, but nonetheless the area’s growth and development was long impeded by its isolation and insufficient means of communication. A railroad across southern Mato Grosso (now Mato Grosso do Sul) opened in 1914 and was a significant advancement, and in the latter part of the 20th century wider settlement was permitted by highway and air transport. Such expansion was facilitated by the development-minded move of the national capital from Rio de Janeiro to inland Brasília in the 1960s. The population density of Mato Grosso do Sul remains, however, one of the lowest in Brazil.
About half of the state lies on a southwestern extension of the Brazilian Plateau. The rest of the state lies in relative lowland. Its eastern boundary is formed by the Paraná River; the Paraguay River valley defines part of its western boundary, and the Taquari and Mirando tributaries cut across its western part. The Paraguay drainage area is essentially an alluvial floodplain that ranks as one of the world’s best tropical grazing lands. Known as the Pantanal, this seasonally flooded area is also one of the world’s largest freshwater wetlands, extending into Mato Grosso, northeast Paraguay, and southeast Bolivia.
The average annual temperature of the state is 79 °F (26 °C). The highlands are much drier than the lowlands, with the average overall rainfall being 50 to 60 inches (1,300 to 1,500 mm). The period from May to September constitutes the dry season.
The population of Mato Grosso do Sul is largely urban, with the principal cities being the capital of Campo Grande, Dourados, Corumbá, Três Lagoas, Ponta Porã, and Coxim. Mestizos (persons of mixed European and Indian ancestry) compose a large percentage of the state’s population.

Social conditions have continued to improve with increasing development. Public health and welfare services are limited in the growing cities and rural settlements, however. Though elementary education is free and compulsory, its quality is hampered by a lack of schools and teachers. The Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (1970) is located in Campo Grande.

Despite continuing political and financial difficulties, Mato Grosso do Sul has been, since its formation, one of the most solid areas of socioeconomic development in Brazil. Its vast mineral deposits of iron ore and manganese form the foundation of an active mining industry. Also important is livestock raising—Mato Grosso do Sul is one of the top cattle-producing states in Brazil—and agriculture, with the chief crops being corn (maize), soybeans, wheat, sugarcane, and peanuts (groundnuts). Area 137,887 square miles (357,125 square km). Pop. (2010) 2,449,024.

On July 9, the African union will celebrate 20 years since it was established in 2002, at Kings Park Stadium, Durban, South Africa.
This founding date of African Union was also the last summit of the Organization of African Unity (OAU).
The Heads of State of the continent turned out in numbers amidst a concert of vuvuzelas, military music and Zulu dances.
Libyan President Col.Muammar Gaddafi reminded his counterparts that the idea of replacing a breathless organization with a pragmatic union, intended to prepare for a “United States of Africa” which he had actualy launched in Sirte, three years earlier?
“We accept those who want to help us, but we do not want those who want to impose their conditions on us,” he added, before concluding with one of his favorite slogans: “African land for Africans!”
According to a survey conducted by François Soudan on why Africans almost no longer believe in the African Union, he observed that “the African Union now 20 years old continues to be perceived by Africans as ineffective and lacking in credibility.
The reasons mostly fronted hinge on the fact that there is lack of political will of AU’s heads of state, who are reluctant to strengthen the power of the organization, the only way to restore a bond of trust with the populations of the continent.
Wade, Mbeki, Mugabe, Mubarak, Dos Santos, Kabila, Gbagbo, Déby, Bongo, El-Bashir, Zenawi… Like the Libyan “Guide”, many of the leaders present on the AU’s founding day have since left the front of the scene, taking with them the promises of dawn.
Indeed, twenty years later, the AU, which, in the words of a report by its Commission published three years ago, “has continued to imitate the European Union in terms of institutional structure and trajectory of integration”, is far from reaching the performance of its model – which is not necessarily the most adapted to the continent.

“The alternative road to the Lachin corridor will be completed in the spring. The construction has started, the equipment is working, and the road is being built,” said the Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure of Armenia Gnel Sanosyan, Report informs, citing Armenian mass media.
“We have divided it into three parts and are actively working on it,” he added.
Armenian armed groups occupied Lachin on May 18, 1992. As a result of the Patriotic War that started on September 27, 2020, and lasted for 44 days, several villages of Lachin were freed from occupation.
According to the statement signed by President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, President of Russia Vladimir Putin, and Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan on November 10, 2020, Lachin was returned to Azerbaijan on December 1. However, as the city of Lachin and several settlements were part of the corridor, they remained under the temporary control of Russian peacekeepers.
Azerbaijan built a new road bypassing the center of Lachin. The length of the new highway is 32 km. According to the project, the width of the road is 7-10.5 meters, the width of the soil bed is 12-15 meters, and the width of the shoulder sections is 2×2.5 (5 m) meters.

Unthinking Eurocentrism, a seminal and award-winning work in postcolonial studies first published in 1994, explored Eurocentrism as an interlocking network of buried premises, embedded narratives, and submerged tropes that constituted a broadly shared epistemology. Within a transdisciplinary study, the authors argued that the debates about Eurocentrism and post/coloniality must be considered within a broad historical sweep that goes at least as far back as the various 1492s-the Inquisition, the Expulsion of Jews and Muslims, the Conquest of the Americas, and the Transatlantic slave trade-a process which culminates in the post-War attempts to radically decolonize global culture. Ranging over multiple geographies, the book deprovincialized media/cultural studies through a "polycentric" approach, while analysing in depth such issues as postcolonial hybridity, antinomies of Enlightenment, the tropes of empire, gender and rescue fantasies, the racial politics of casting, and the limitations of "positive image" analysis. The substantial new afterword in this 20th anniversary new edition brings these issues into the present by charting recent transformations of the intellectual debates, as terms such as the "transnational," the "commons," "indigeneity," and the "Red Atlantic" have come to the fore. The afterword also explores some cinematic trends such as "indigenous media" and "postcolonial adaptations" that have gained strength over the past two decades, along with others, such as Nollywood, that have emerged with startling force. Winner of the Katherine Kovacs Singer Best Film Book Award, the book has been translated in full or in its entirety into diverse languages from Spanish to Farsi. This expanded edition of a ground-breaking text proposes analytical grids relevant to a wide variety of fields including postcolonial studies, literary studies, anthropology, media studies, cultural studies, and critical race studies.

With 2018 right around the corner, it’s time to start making resolutions: to exercise more, to eat better, to spend more time with loved ones, or to practice better financial habits. Unfortunately, that last goal has become particularly difficult in recent years, as the federal government has implemented rules and regulations that increase costs and limit choices for American consumers. But there are several resolutions that Congress and the president can make at 2018’s outset to help consumers in the year ahead.

For many pregnant women, sitting in a hot tub during pregnancy sounds like a great way to ease muscle aches. It is important to use caution when choosing a hot tub for relaxation and pain relief. Hot tubs can cause hyperthermia, which is abnormally high body temperature.
Are hot tubs safe during pregnancy?
According to the Organization of Teratology Information Services (OTIS), a body temperature of 101º F and above can raise concerns during pregnancy. Some studies have shown an increased risk of birth defects in babies of women who had an increased body temperature during the first trimester of pregnancy.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) states that becoming overheated in a hot tub is not recommended during pregnancy. ACOG also recommends that pregnant women never let their core body temperature rise above 102.2º F.
Although the specific degree differs, both OTIS and ACOG attest to the concern related to hot tub use during pregnancy. Hot tubs are often factory programmed to maintain a water temperature of approximately 104º F. It takes only 10-20 minutes in a hot tub to raise your body temperature to 102º F or higher.
To maintain a steady temperature, water is circulated and re-circulated through the hot tub to pump out cold water and pump in hot water.
Hot Bath vs. Hot Tub?
A hot bath, which is not uncomfortable or scalding, is a safer way to relax. In a bath much of your upper body will remain out of the water, making you less likely to overheat. Additionally, the water in a bath begins to cool off, as opposed to a hot tub, further reducing any risk of overheating.
Reducing the Health Risks
Although the Association does not recommend using hot tubs during pregnancy, here are some steps you can take to reduce any risk:
- Re-program your hot tub to maintain a lower temperature.
- Limit time in a hot tub to 10 minutes or less.
- Monitor the temperature of the water by dipping a thermometer in the hot tub.
- Monitor your body temperature to avoid overheating.
- Pay attention to warning signs such as becoming uncomfortable or if you stop sweating.

Sending and receiving email
Email Quick Configuration Info
NCF provides every member with a personal email address. NCF email addresses are simply a member's account ID (eg., 'ab123') followed by '@ncf.ca', for example, 'firstname.lastname@example.org'.
Optionally, you can arrange for an email alias, for example, 'email@example.com'. Information about getting an email alias is available from the StartPage ("Reserve an email alias").
Important: If you already have an email address and don't plan to use your NCF email address, be sure to tell us, using "Change Preferences" at the bottom-right of the StartPage (NCF needs to be able to reach you about your account).
Incoming email for you is stored on NCF's computer until you ask for it. There are two ways to receive email:
Using NCF WebMail (browser-based). All you need to use WebMail is a web browser connected to the internet (eg., home, office, library, internet cafe -- anywhere in the world via internet). No set-up is required. You read and send mail from the browser, and your mail is stored on an NCF computer.
A disadvantage of using WebMail is that you have to stay connected to the internet while you are reading and composing your email.
Using a mail client (in your personal computer). Mail reader software is more powerful and has more features than webMail. Your email is transferred to your computer and then read there. The size of your mail archive can be as large as your disk.
A disadvantage is that your mail is only accessible while you are at your computer.
With WebMail, your email stays on the computers at NCF.
Backup in case of computer crash is a consideration too.
Personal computer-based mail clients were dominant, but the trend is away from mail clients toward server-based webmail, mostly because of the convenience of being able to access the mail from any browser anywhere, even from phones and hand-held devices.
NCF Webmail works in a browser, letting you compose, send, receive, and manage your email using any browser. It is the easiest way to send and receive email while you are away from home. Your mail stays on the NCF's mail server; all you need is a web browser and connection to the Internet.
You can try WebMail by going to the StartPage and clicking on 'Get your NCF WebMail'. There's nothing to install.
Up to 50 MB of email can be accumulated and stored in your WebMail Inbox and folders, as of spring 2010. (NCF's storage capacity increases regularly as facilities are upgraded.)
NCF's Webmail uses popup windows when composing a new message or when replying or forwarding a message. Some browsers have popup blockers that need to be told to allow popups for Webmail -- click here for information on enabling pop-ups.
Mail readers (mail clients)
Some common current mail readers, all free of charge, are:
(Microsoft Outlook Express is outdated but still in use on older systems. Microsoft Outlook is a for-fee, part of Microsoft Office.)
If you don't have a mail reader, you may download a copy at no cost at the manufacturer's website. Once it is installed on your computer, you need to configure it so it knows from where to retrieve/send your email.
Setting up a mail reader
Modern mail readers are pretty easy to set up. Typically you just need some of the information in the 'Quick Facts' box above.
For complete and current inforamation about how to set up your mail reader, refer to the web site of the provider of your mail client software.
For information about older mail readers and non-current version, here are step by step instructions:
Regardless of how you read your mail, you can use NCF's SpamFilter if you have problems with spam.
You can view or change your SpamFilter settings by going to the StartPage, and clicking on 'SpamFilter set-up' under 'Email' in the left column.
There is information on that page about how SpamFilter works (by clicking on 'Intro') and Frequently Asked Questions on customizing SpamFilter (by clicking on 'FAQ').

Anti-China sentiment on the rise; Italy slowly emerging from lockdown; Pandemic exposes the 'violence of social inequality'
The Chinese national flag flies at half-mast behind a statue of late Chinese chairman Mao Zedong in Wuhan during a national mourning for those who died of the coronavirus, April 2020.

Top of The World — our morning news round up written by editors at The World. Subscribe here.
Britain said Monday that China has questions to answer over the information it shared about the novel coronavirus outbreak. But British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace refused to comment on reports that the so-called Five Eyes consortium of US, British, Canadian, Australian and New Zealand intelligence services had accused Beijing of a cover-up. The rhetoric from the US and others comes as an internal Chinese report warns Beijing is facing a rising wave of hostility in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak and that global anti-China sentiment is at its highest since the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.
Italy slowly emerging from lockdown
Italy, among the countries hardest hit by the coronavirus and with one of the longest lockdowns in Europe, began easing lockdown restrictions today, allowing about 4.5 million people to return to work. Spain, Nigeria, Azerbaijan, Malaysia, Israel, Tunisia and Lebanon were also among countries easing some restrictions.
Economist Thomas Piketty: Pandemic exposes the ‘violence of social inequality’
French economist Thomas Piketty’s new book, “Capital and Ideology,” which came out in March, examines the history of policies and political systems that have sustained economic inequality — and how the world might move toward a fairer economic system. He spoke to The World’s host Marco Werman about the inequalities the pandemic has exposed and suggested Portugal as example of one country that is looking soberly at the pandemic.
“I think at this stage, you know, everybody is trying to do something. So, some countries have initiatives like — in Portugal, they decided two weeks ago to have a temporary regularization of illegal migrants so at least they can provide income support for people in the street and access to health facilities and some kind of legal status. Actually, during this time of the pandemic, most of the countries in Europe did not do that. And I think, you know, it would be useful.”
Warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico raise alarm as US storm season approaches
As storm season begins in the southeastern US, scientists are casting a wary eye on the warm waters in the Gulf of Mexico. Tornado season in the US generally runs from March through June and hurricane season follows right on its heels. Warm waters in the Gulf provide “a basic fuel” to these massive storms, explains atmospheric scientist Kevin Trenberth, a distinguished scholar at the US National Center for Atmospheric Research.
During social distancing, artists collaborate on ‘Long Distance Art’
Simone Saunders, a visual artist based in Calgary, Canada, created this piece for the Long Distance Art series.
Courtesy of Simone Saunders
Long Distance Art, which launched this week, is an international, multidisciplinary collaborative art series that emerged from the Social Distancing Festival. Artists can inquire about collaborating with another artist they’ve seen on the site, or have the creator pair them up with another artist of his choosing.
“For online art, I’ve become a matchmaker,” joked creator Nick Green. “I don’t want to be too instructive. So for the most part, I tell [the collaborators], ‘You two are brilliant artists. Go. Do whatever. I’m happy with anything you come up with.’”
There may be some good old fashioned Hollywood marketing going on here. But it is May 4, and the folks over at team “Star Wars” still know how to get the goosebumps to rise. May the 4th be with you.
In case you missed itListen: A global effort to fast-track a vaccine for the coronavirus
A researcher works in a lab at the Duke-NUS Medical School, which is developing a way to track genetic changes that speed testing of vaccines against the coronavirus disease in Singapore, March 2020.
Most leaders and medical experts say life won’t get back to relative normal until we get a vaccine to prevent COVID-19. It could take a while, so some scientists and ethicists are proposing a controversial method of testing. Also, Russia’s Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin has tested positive for the coronavirus and is temporarily stepping down from his position as he recovers. Plus, the British rock band Queen has updated the classic rock ballad, “We Are The Champions,” to honor health care workers around the world.

We all tread this writing journey with a certain amount of trepidation. Even the most successful authors have concerns.
Will my novel be good enough? Is the story strong?
Will I get good reviews? Have I written my best?
Is there another novel inside me?
It is human nature to agonize over these worries but with support from family, friends and a writing group you can lessen them.
What makes you most anxious in your writing life?
Unfortunately, stress has a detrimental effect on the creative process so we must try to elevate it. There are a few simple methods to help us.
Firstly, walk away from the project and find somewhere quiet to take some deep breaths.
When our body is stressed it tends to hyperventilate with short low breaths. Breath slowly and deeply.
If possible, take a day away from the project – obviously this isn’t always possible – but try to take at least an hour.
Time away enjoying something else refreshes the brain.
If the thought of leaving the project adds to your stress, take notes of how you want to proceed. They will help get you back into the mindset and you have a reference to guide you.
Focus on each step instead of overwhelming yourself with the ‘whole’ project.
Give yourself a reasonable time frame.
If it helps map out each step from start to finish – you have set goals per day, week or month – but ensure you have factored in extra time for each one. That way if a step takes longer than anticipated you still have a buffer of time to complete it.
How do you cope with stress?

Through NH Broadband, NHEC is working to identify partners and sources of local, state, and federal funding to provide high-speed internet service to our members. In December 2020, NHEC completed its first fiber to the home networks in Lempster, Colebrook, Clarksville and Stewartstown making high-speed internet available to over 1,000 homes and businesses. In July 2021, we announced that we are constructing two more fiber to the home networks in Sandwich and Acworth, which will provide service to another 1,800 homes and businesses. In March 2022, we announced an project that will provide high-speed internet service to nearly 17,000 homes and businesses in 32 towns across Grafton County, one of the most underserved areas of the state.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought into focus the critical need for high speed internet service throughout New Hampshire. For far too long rural communities have been disadvantaged due to the lack of high speed internet. As virtual business activity, remote learning, and telemedicine have become the norm, the limited, often unreliable, services available in these communities today do not meet the needs of NHEC members.
Electric cooperatives, like NHEC, played an essential role in bringing electricity to rural areas in the late 1930s. The same need exists now with high-speed internet access. Today, NHEC provides electric distribution service to 85,000 members, located in 118 communities across New Hampshire. Just as it brought electricity to rural New Hampshire over 80 years ago, NHEC is uniquely positioned to help bring high-speed internet to these same areas today. NHEC is committed to ensuring our members have access to this essential service.
We are committed to offering the highest quality internet service that will meet our members’ needs into the future. We are developing an all fiber-optic network, that can provide speeds in excess of 1 Gigabit symmetrical upload and download.
NH Broadband currently offers two affordable speed levels for residential customers designed to meet the needs of our customers today and into the future:
- Up to 100 Mbps symmetrical upload/download @ $49.95/month
- Up to 1 Gig (1000 Mbps) symmetrical upload/download @ $89.95/month
Additional information on service options, including commercial products can be found at www.NHBroadband.com.
Click here for more information about our project to bring reliable, high-speed internet to homes and businesses in the Town of Sandwich.
Click here for more information about our project to bring reliable, high-speed internet to homes and businesses in the Town of Acworth.
Member and community interest in broadband service is a key factor we are considering as we develop our plans. Enter your address and let us know that you want reliable high-speed internet. While you’re at it, tell your friends and neighbors so let us know they want service too.
Another way you can help is by submitting your current internet speed to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). As we’ve worked to expand broadband service, we have found that the maps and data are pretty bad. One reason is because providers self-report their speeds to the FCC. You can help fix this problem! The FCC is encouraging everyone to download their Speed Test App and submit their internet speeds. Recording your speed will provide the FCC with better data, which will be used to make federal funding available.
For more information about the app and to download it yourself check out the FCC website.
Registering your address and creating an online account is the first step in the process.
When you receive a postcard that you can pre-order, you must Log into your account.

There are a number of factors that we are considering when deciding the next community to serve, including:
- Availability of state and federal grants
- Member interest expressed through this website
- Areas with higher density of unserved and underserved members
- Engineering and construction considerations that achieve the fastest, most cost-effective buildout possible
We know that inability to access reliable high speed internet is an immense burden on our unserved and underserved members. NH Broadband is moving quickly to develop and finalize our plans for network expansion, but it may take several years to reach all our members who want service. Member and community interest is a key factor in our decision making, so please enter your information so we know which communities have the greatest level of interest.
NH Broadband charges a one-time $150 fee for standard installations.
NH Broadband’s standard installation fee of $150 includes the cost of running the first 500 feet of fiber-optic cable to a customer’s home, installing, and testing the router, and connecting one device. Homes and businesses that require overhead fiber-optic cable extensions beyond 500 feet are required to pay an additional $1.00 per foot to cover the cost of labor and materials, if they would like to receive service from NH Broadband. The installation technician will determine how long of a fiber extension is required based on the property’s proximity to the nearest network connection point.
The minimum requirement for all broadband fiber conduit shall be 0.75” (3/4”) inside diameter (ID) typically HDPE SDR11 or SDR13.5 Roll Pipe and or Schedule 40 PVC.
Conduit runs should be no longer than 500 feet before a handhole/pedestal is placed as a transition point to allow for placement of the fiber cable to not exceed the pulling tension.
Long sweeping radius turns shall be used when placing the conduit underground.
Fiber optic cable may not share the same conduit with electrical/utility services; however the broadband conduit may be placed in the same joint trench as long as 12” of separate between the broadband conduit and the electrical/utility conduit is maintained.
Fiber optic cables can share existing communications conduits, as long as the path is open and accessible.
NHB will not use an existing conduit that is overfilled and or does not have an existing pull string in place.
NHB will not remove existing communications lines from a customer’s conduit in order to place a new fiber. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to remove and clear any existing pathway and provide a pull string to facilitate the placement of the new fiber in an existing conduit.

GLP-1 is the class of drugs we’re talking about and it’s used to control blood sugar levels. But, according to scientists, these drugs help form lesions in the pancreas and promote inflammation throughout the organ. You’ve seen them as the brand names “Januvia” and “Byetta.”
For years, the FDA and doctors have known that pancreatitis might be a side effect of GLP-1 therapies. But this is the first evidence that accurately gauges the risk that stems specifically from the drug and not, for instance, from other things like obesity and heavy drinking.
For millions of Americans, these drugs effectively lower blood glucose levels. But, sometimes with new drugs, it takes a while for certain side effects to materialize. So, if you take these drugs, be aware of an increased risk to your pancreas. Keep watch for symptoms such as stomach pain, nausea, and persistent vomiting. Read the drug information carefully and understand all the potential adverse effects.
The new study is based on data from more than 1,200 people with type 2 diabetes who used at least one drug to treat the disease. Compared to people with diabetes who had not taken those drugs, the people on GLP-1 drugs were twice as likely to be hospitalized within two months.
RECOMMENDED: Dandelion could kill pancreatic cancer cells.
Pancreatitis occurs when the organ suffers inflammation. It is both painful and dangerous if it goes untreated.
For diabetics, the pancreas is already part of the problem, because either it doesn’t secrete enough insulin or the body is not able to respond to the hormone. With insulin issues, sugar can’t leave the blood to transport to other cells and it starts building up.
A diabetic is already at higher risk of pancreatitis. This drug class then doubles that already-inflated risk. Not good! Let your doctor know that you’re aware of the risks of taking this drug and that you want to evaluate if those risks outweigh the benefits and whether you should stop taking this medication.

Drought-level rivers worry Westar Energy
Kansas Water Office says reserves to last through at least 2013
It doesn’t take much imagination to understand why farmers and people who take their lawn’s shade of green as a badge of honor would worry about drought, but power plants?
They have a reason to worry about the lack of rain as well, said Bill Eastman, director of environmental services for Westar Energy, because of the amount of water needed to produce electricity in thermoelectric plants.
Thermoelectric plants heat water to produce steam and turn turbines that generate electricity. They also need water to cool their equipment, according to a report on water use in the power industry by the U.S. Geological Survey. The report estimated power generation accounts for about 49 percent of the nation’s water use, with the heaviest users in California and along the Great Lakes, the Atlantic coast and the Gulf coast.
All of Kansas was in a state of severe, extreme or exceptional drought as of Tuesday, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, which is run by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The rain and snow northeast Kansas received this week pushed 2013’s precipitation to about normal levels so far, but hasn’t come close to making up the moisture deficit from months of dry weather.
Westar participates in the Kansas River Water Assurance District, which has an agreement with the Kansas Water Office and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to maintain a sufficient level of flow for the users’ needs, said Terry McCormick, who is Westar’s representative in meetings with the water office. Other members include Sunflower Electric Power Company, several factories and the cities of Topeka, Junction City, Manhattan, Lawrence, Olathe and Bonner Springs.
McCormick and Eastman said Westar is working on making its operations as efficient as possible in their use of water, but the reality is that much of the water used in power generation evaporates from the cooling tower, since water can’t be returned to rivers while still hot because of the effect on fish. Westar estimated it takes between 600 and 800 gallons of water to produce a megawatt of electricity, which is roughly equal to the amount of electricity an average household uses in one month.
“The water issue is really important to Westar,” Eastman said.
Kansas Water Office director Tracy Streeter said the reservoirs at Milford and Tuttle Creek, which can be used to raise flows in the Kansas River, have been refilled from upstream at about the same rate that they have released water for users in Topeka, Lawrence and Kansas City. The agreement specifies the flow at Topeka will measure 600 cubic feet per second.
“We have a huge area that drains into Milford,” he said. “Tuttle Creek refills very easily.”
Streeter said he expected the reservoirs could meet the needs of downriver communities through 2013 without hitting levels that would trigger conservation efforts, but cities and industries could decide to take voluntary measures before then — assuming Kansas continues to remain in drought as the Drought Monitor predicts.
The assurance district owns part of the storage capacity in the reservoirs, Streeter said, so the members have control over managing the amount of water they own, and the option of purchasing more. Even if the assurance used up its entire allotment, reservoir levels still wouldn’t be drawn down enough to cause concern, he said.
The Kansas River hasn’t received as much attention as its much larger cousin, the Mississippi, where falling water levels have threatened the important commercial shipping industry. The Kansas River always tended to have a lower flow and is disrupted by dams, so businesses don’t rely on it to move goods, Streeter said.
“The only folks that would use the river would be recreation users,” he said.

Rationalization is a defense mechanism (ego defense) in which apparent logical reasons are given to justify behavior that is motivated by unconscious instinctual impulses. It is an attempt to find reasons for behaviors, especially ones own. Rationalizations are used to defend against feelings of guilt, maintain self-respect, and protect oneself from criticism.
Rationalization happens in two steps:
- A decision, action, judgement is made for a given reason, or no (known) reason at all.
- A rationalization is performed, constructing a seemingly good or logical reason, as an attempt to justify the act after the fact (for oneself or others).
Rationalization encourages irrational or unacceptable behavior, motives, or feelings and often involves ad hoc hypothesizing. This process ranges from fully conscious (e.g. to present an external defense against ridicule from others) to mostly unconscious (e.g. to create a block against internal feelings of guilt or shame). People rationalize for various reasons—sometimes when we think we know ourselves better than we do. Rationalization may differentiate the original deterministic explanation of the behavior or feeling in question.
Many conclusions individuals come to do not fall under the definition of rationalization as the term is denoted above.
Quintilian and classical rhetoric used the term color for the presenting of an action in the most favourable possible perspective. Laurence Sterne in the eighteenth century took up the point, arguing that, were a man to consider his actions, "he will soon find, that such of them, as strong inclination and custom have prompted him to commit, are generally dressed out and painted with all the false beauties [color] which, a soft and flattering hand can give them".
According to the DSM-IV, rationalization occurs "when the individual deals with emotional conflict or internal or external stressors by concealing the true motivations for their own thoughts, actions, or feelings through the elaboration of reassuring or self serving but incorrect explanations".
- Rationalization can be used to avoid admitting disappointment: "I didn't get the job that I applied for, but I really didn't want it in the first place."
Egregious rationalizations intended to deflect blame can also take the form of ad hominem attacks or DARVO. Some rationalizations take the form of a comparison. Commonly, this is done to lessen the perception of an action's negative effects, to justify an action, or to excuse culpability:
- "At least [what occurred] is not as bad as [a worse outcome]."
- In response to an accusation: "At least I didn't [worse action than accused action]."
- As a form of false choice: "Doing [undesirable action] is a lot better than [a worse action]."
- In response to unfair or abusive behaviour: "I must have done something wrong if they treat me like this."
Based on anecdotal and survey evidence, John Banja states that the medical field features a disproportionate amount of rationalization invoked in the "covering up" of mistakes. Common excuses made are:
- "Why disclose the error? The patient was going to die anyway."
- "Telling the family about the error will only make them feel worse."
- "It was the patient's fault. If he wasn't so (sick, etc.), this error wouldn't have caused so much harm."
- "Well, we did our best. These things happen."
- "If we're not totally and absolutely certain the error caused the harm, we don't have to tell."
- "They're dead anyway, so there's no point in blaming anyone."
In 2018 Muel Kaptein and Martien van Helvoort developed a model, called the Amoralizations Alarm Clock, that covers all existing amoralizations in a logical way. Amoralizations, also called neutralizations, or rationalizations, are defined as justifications and excuses for deviant behavior. Amoralizations are important explanations for the rise and persistence of deviant behavior. There exist many different and overlapping techniques of amoralizations.
- Collective rationalizations are regularly constructed for acts of aggression, based on exaltation of the in-group and demonization of the opposite side: as Fritz Perls put it, "Our own soldiers take care of the poor families; the enemy rapes them".
- Celebrity culture can be seen as rationalizing the gap between rich and poor, powerful and powerless, by offering participation to both dominant and subaltern views of reality.
Some scientists criticize the notion that brains are wired to rationalize irrational decisions, arguing that evolution would select against spending more nutrients at mental processes that do not contribute to the improvement of decisions such as rationalization of decisions that would have been taken anyway. These scientists argue that learning from mistakes would be decreased rather than increased by rationalization, and criticize the hypothesis that rationalization evolved as a means of social manipulation by noting that if rational arguments were deceptive there would be no evolutionary chance for breeding individuals that responded to the arguments and therefore making them ineffective and not capable of being selected for by evolution.
Ernest Jones introduced the term "rationalization" to psychoanalysis in 1908, defining it as "the inventing of a reason for an attitude or action the motive of which is not recognized"—an explanation which (though false) could seem plausible. The term (Rationalisierung in German) was taken up almost immediately by Sigmund Freud to account for the explanations offered by patients for their own neurotic symptoms.
As psychoanalysts continued to explore the glossed of unconscious motives, Otto Fenichel distinguished different sorts of rationalization—both the justifying of irrational instinctive actions on the grounds that they were reasonable or normatively validated and the rationalizing of defensive structures, whose purpose is unknown on the grounds that they have some quite different but somehow logical meaning.
Later psychoanalysts are divided between a positive view of rationalization as a stepping-stone on the way to maturity, and a more destructive view of it as splitting feeling from thought, and so undermining the powers of reason.
Leon Festinger highlighted in 1957 the discomfort caused to people by awareness of their inconsistent thought. Rationalization can reduce such discomfort by explaining away the discrepancy in question, as when people who take up smoking after previously quitting decide that the evidence for it being harmful is less than they previously thought.

Two indigenous poets, one from the Marshall Islands and another from Greenland, converged at the source of rising seas to join in a moment of solidarity. Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner and Aka Niviâna use poetry to showcase the linkages between their homelands in the face of climate change.
I haven’t watched the film, Don’t Look Up, and probably won’t for a while. Just so when people ask me if I have seen it, I can say that I haven’t. They will explain to me how great it is. How I should watch it. But the allegory of climate change isn’t for Hollywood superstars. Climate change is what I deal with as academic study all the time, so I don’t want to do it for entertainment. I have seen The Matrix Resurrections and Encanto three times. I never understood the Matrix. It was like Alice and Wonderland. Encanto is an engineering film.
Calling a movie (or novel) an allegory is often a way of saying that it’s smarter than it appears at first blush. When critics or academics proclaim that George Orwell’s Animal Farm isn’t really a book about talking pigs but totalitarianism, for example, they’re making the case that the novel has a subterranean, secret, and above all more serious meaning. At its most basic, reading allegorically is about digging deeper, going beyond the “surface” of a work that we might otherwise be tempted to dismiss as a fluffy blockbuster or escapist beach reading—like a comedy or science fiction movie—and revealing it as doing intellectual heavy lifting. Yet there’s a flip side to allegorical interpretations: They can also function like blinders, illuminating one viewpoint while crowding out competing ideas.
In the case of Don’t Look Up, insisting that the film is just an allegory for global warming blinds us to the fact that in addition to satirizing our climate inaction, the film draws attention to the fact that the human species is threatened with extinction on multiple fronts: climate change, yes, but also renewed tension among nuclear powers, the possibility of malevolent artificial intelligence, super volcanoes of the sort lurking beneath Yellowstone, pandemics for which COVID may be a mere dress rehearsal, and, of course, comets.Tyler Austin Harper, If You Think “Don’t Look Up” Is Just an Allegory About Climate Change, You’re Missing Something, Mother Jones, December 26, 2021.
Today also marks one year since I submitted my application to represent Florida’s delegation to the Democratic National Committee. It’s been a solid year of saying and talking climate without the heavy-lifting to do what is required. EOs. Rules. Laws. Introduced. Passed. But we are still here on that stalemate of climate action.
My article deadline was extended to February 1.

Russia believes that surrounded by enemies, and considers it necessary to restore the former degree of strategic coverage as the basis for their security. In this sense, there is no area more important than Ukraine. The Russian leadership is also concerned about the erosion of the area around the Russian border, where it is still possible to eradicate politically dangerous ideas before they can undermine the power of the ruling regime.

Detailed examination of modern conflicts in the area from Europe to the Middle East and North Africa, South East Asia, allows us to test the well-known thesis of Clausewitz the continuation of policy by military means. Despite significant humanistic progress after the World wars, military strength is still a decisive factor in the development of the international situation, and the improvement of the means and methods of warfare have a significant impact on the formation of international relations in General.

So, what exactly is the nutritional worth of sausage.
- Dietary protein is one of the nutritional advantages of pork sausage links, which makes them a good choice for meatless Mondays. In accordance with Calorie King, a pork sausage link has 15.1 g of protein, which is necessary by the body in order to maintain muscle mass, produce energy, and allow for the generation of healthy hormones.
Are sausages high in calories?
“Pork sausage is heavy in calories and bad fats, so avoid it. The authors, Dr. Galanis and Dr. Dorfman, state that chicken sausage is lower in calories and fat, but higher in protein than beef sausage.
Is sausage good for dieting?
Sausages are heavy in fat and low in carbs, making them an excellent choice for those following a low-carb diet.
How much is a serving of sausage?
Is sausage a healthy option? What is the nutritional value of a single serving of sausage? In general, 3 ounces of any type of meat or fish constitutes one serving. 15 If you look closely at many processed sausage packaging, you’ll see that one link equals less than three ounces and represents a single serving.
How many grams is one sausage?
Simply put, the typical uncooked thick (high meat content) sausage weighs around 67g (2.4oz), whereas the average store brand sausage weighs approximately 57g (2.3oz) (2oz). A thinner chipolata sausage has a weight of around 31g (1.1oz).
Does sausages make you fat?
Consuming deli meats, bacon, hot dogs, and sausage may not only cause you to gain weight, but it may also put your life in danger. Processed meat intake has been linked to roughly an additional pound of weight gain over a four-year period, according to a Harvard research published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Why is sausage so many calories?
Some sausages contain as much as 30% fat, while others include less. As the saying goes, “Fat is flavor,” so when you take something that’s high in fat and combine it with a large amount of sugar or salt, our brains go into overdrive. Whichever foods contain the highest concentrations of these fats are, without a doubt, the most calorie-dense foods available.
How many calories in a sausage sizzle?
1 serving of 1x Sausage Sizzle contains 270 calories, according to the Nutrition Facts label.

According to the trading companies concerned, the item has already been removed from the store shelves. "Consumers who have bought the item concerned will receive a refund of the purchase price in their shops even without presenting the receipt," EDEKA wrote in a customer information document about the recall.
What health risks are associated with metal parts in food?
Metallic foreign bodies can cause cuts and punctures in the mouth or damage the teeth when chewing. If the metal part is swallowed, depending on its shape and size, it can block the airways and lead to breathing difficulties and even shortness of breath. In the worst case, there is a risk of suffocation. Swallowed metal parts can get stuck in the body and trigger inflammatory processes. If the parts are sharp or sharp, internal bleeding is not excluded.

Beverly Axelrod was born Beverly Diana Jarrett on March 3, 1924, in New York City. She was admitted to the bar in 1949 in New York, after graduating from Brooklyn Law School in 1948 as one of the only women in her class.
She married Seymour Lourd, an accountant, in 1944. They divorced in 1951, and she married Marshall Axelrod, a teacher, the same year. They divorced in 1964. She had two sons, Clayton and Douglas.
Axelrod moved to California in 1953 and quickly combined her law career with dedicated activism. She was involved in a myriad of social justice and civil rights groups, such as the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). She was an active member of the National Lawyers Guild. She served as an attorney in or provided legal assistance for such movements as the Delano grape strike and the San Francisco civil rights protests of 1963 and 1964. In 1965, she traveled to Indonesia with Women for Peace to protest the escalation of the Vietnam War. One of Axelrod's most high-profile clients was future Yippie (Youth International Party) activist Jerry Rubin, whom she represented when he was subpoenaed by the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1966.
Axelrod was first contacted by Eldridge Cleaver in May 1965. He wrote to her from prison, asking for her help publishing his "White Woman, Black Man" manuscript, which would later become Soul on Ice. They soon developed a regular correspondence and Axelrod would visit Cleaver frequently. In the subsequent months, they entered into a romantic relationship, with plans to marry once Cleaver got out of prison. Cleaver was released from jail in December 1966. He became the Minister of Information for the Black Panther Party, with Axelrod playing an active role in the group as well. As Cleaver rose to prominence, both he and his associates felt that it would be more appropriate for Cleaver as a Black revolutionary activist to be involved with a Black woman rather than a white woman--a sentiment that greatly contributed to the deterioration of Cleaver's relationship with Axelrod over the following year. Axelrod later sued Cleaver over his attempt to alter the royalty agreement they had come to regarding Soul on Ice, which she had helped him to publish and which contained excerpts from their 1965-1966 correspondence.
Upon leaving California shortly after the end of her association with Cleaver, Axelrod spent time in the Southwest working with activist Elizabeth "Betita" Martínez on the Mexican American land rights movement. Axelrod then moved to Grenada in 1969. She went on to spend time in Europe, returning to the United States in 1972. After hearing about the Wounded Knee siege in 1973, she traveled to South Dakota and helped provide legal services for those involved. In 1975, she became an Administrative Law Judge for the California Agricultural Labor Relations Board.
In 1979, Axelrod founded Ace Investigations, a private investigation firm, which she continued to operate until her death.
Axelrod died at the age of 78 on June 19, 2002, in Pacifica, California.

Other biographical material derived from the collection.
The Beverly Axelrod papers document Axelrod's personal life and professional career as both a lawyer and an activist, with a great deal of the material showcasing her relationships with various individuals and groups devoted to activism, civil rights, and social justice. The collection contains correspondence, legal files, organization documentation, activist literature, state and federal records, and ephemera. The collection has been arranged into four series: I. Personal/Biographical; II. Professional; III. Eldridge Cleaver; IV. Melanie (Lani) Kask.
Series I., which spans from 1935 to 2002, contains materials relating to Axelrod's friendships, pastimes, travels, and other aspects of her personal life, as well as some of the highlights of her legal career. Subseries A. consists of correspondence, official documents regarding personal business, subject files regarding private activities or interests, and materials describing Axelrod's career accomplishments. Subseries B. contains files arranged by name, with each folder comprising material from or about individuals such as family members, friends, and professional acquaintances. Subseries C. features largely personal photographs from various eras in Axelrod's life, and Subseries D. consists of documentation of Axelrod's death and retrospectives on her career.
Series II. documents Axelrod's time as an attorney and activist from 1946 to 1999. Subseries A. consists of materials relating to Axelrod's certifications and general professional activities, as well as assorted legal resources. Subseries B. comprises files on the various cases and causes with which she was involved as a lawyer. The subseries contains both legal files for specific cases and topical files for activities and issues in which she was an attorney or consultant. Some of the movements represented in this series include the Delano grape strike, the San Francisco civil rights protests of 1963 and 1964, and San Francisco school desegregation. Subseries C. contains material from Axelrod's participation in various civil rights and social justice activism organizations. A large portion is dedicated to Axelrod's work with the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), represented by such materials as memos, newsletters, meeting minutes, and correspondence, as well as her work with the Black Panther Party, represented by such materials as pamphlets, correspondence, and newsletters. Other materials from Axelrod's association with specific organizations include agendas, minutes, and newsletters from the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) and newsletters, memos, and reports from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Subseries D. features several informational booklets from a variety of New Left organizations, assorted manifestos, and topical files on different causes.
Series III. comprises materials that document Eldridge Cleaver and Beverly Axelrod's relationship as well as Cleaver's incarceration and subsequent rise to fame. These materials span from 1954 to 1998. Subseries A. contains the 1965-1966 correspondence between Axelrod and Cleaver during the latter's time in prison. These letters are all photocopies rather than original material. Subseries B. contains reports on Cleaver, primarily by the California Department of Corrections, both during his incarceration and following his release. These reports are also photocopies. Subseries C. and D. are largely original material. Subseries C. consists of materials relating to Axelrod's suit against Cleaver regarding royalties for Soul on Ice, and includes court documents and manuscript drafts. Subseries D. features several published articles by Cleaver and ephemera from his various public engagements.
Series IV. contains Melanie (Lani) Kask's research materials, as well as her correspondence with Axelrod, Cleaver, and other individuals. The series also includes transcriptions and photocopies of the Axelrod-Cleaver 1965-1966 correspondence, as well as various drafts of Kask's dissertation. The majority of materials are from 1993-2009.
As Kask had control of Axelrod's papers for several years, it is possible that small amounts of her research materials have been incorporated into other parts of the collection beyond Series IV. Two large sets of material obtained by Kask were purposefully included in other series: the photocopied letters between Axelrod and Cleaver in Series III.A. and the photocopied incarceration records and reports in Series III.B.

When purchasing a new home, there are numerous issues to be concerned with, but none as important as the safety features that are included. In new homes, safety features are crucial to the security of you and your family.
While many fancy security mechanisms can be found in new homes, your safety often begins with something as simple as doors and locks. The doors you choose for your home should be made of strong material, preferably metal or solid wood. These doors should be equipped with both door knobs that lock and deadbolt locks for added security.
If you have a garage, both the inside and outside garage doors should have locks. Any doors with glass panels should have bars, cages, or double-keyed locks to stop a potential intruder from reaching through or just breaking the glass altogether to get inside. In addition, all sliding doors should be armed with strong locks.
Lighting is another feature in new homes that can be vital in keeping a premises secure. Outdoor lighting that operates on timers or motion activation can be especially helpful, as any potential intruder does not want to be easily seen. These lights should be strategically placed in areas that can be particularly susceptible to possible break-ins such as walkways, patios, garage doors, and dark corners of the home’s exterior and could be in regular use during nighttime hours.
Windows can also guard against potential security threats. Since they can often be visible from the street and are a very popular way of breaking into homes, the latches to them should be locked tightly and secondary mechanisms should be added to avoid someone gaining entry involuntarily. Wooden sticks work well for this purpose if the window is a horizontal sliding window and through-the-frame pins can get the job done for vertical sliding windows. Anti-lift devices such as screws should also be used to keep somebody from lifting the window from the outside.
Staircases can be dangerous if not properly secured in new homes. First and foremost, a strong handrail that can easily be gripped is essential, as it greatly reduces the risk of a fall. Midrails are also very helpful here as they give anybody climbing the stairs something additional to grab onto while going either up or down. Lighting and colors should be conducive to easy visibility because many people slip and hurt themselves on steps they do not see. Staircase maintenance is of the utmost importance, so treads must be kept in good condition and excessive wear and tear must be fixed at any point that it becomes a problem.
In addition to simple fixes, new homes can be properly secured with the help of an alarm system. In many cases, just having visible signs or decals on the lawn or in the window can serve as a major deterrent to potential intruders, as they may find it more convenient to break into a different home that is not protected by an alarm system. Alarm systems function not only as a deterrent and serve to notify the police when triggered, in some cases they can also help to monitor the home and report fires.
Electrical wiring must be safe because there are far too many ways for it to cause hazards if not properly taken care of. Plugs and sockets should not feel burning hot nor should they have brown scorch marks on them. Fuses should not flicker and if they do, they should be replaced immediately. Circuit breakers also should not flicker and if they do, they should be reset right away. Also, do not overload the electrical sockets as that can lead to electrical shorts. Using surge protectors and extension cords so as to not overload wall outlets is a good way to protect against these possible electrical shorts.
Though there is no conclusive proof that cleaning air ducts has health benefits and dirty air ducts have not been proven to cause dirty air, there are many reasons why duct cleaning is a good idea.
Ducts can get dirty when mold or other filthy materials build up, which can lead to coughing, sneezing, and various allergy reactions. With the advent of high-efficiency windows, doors, and greater insulation, the degree to which air is transferred between inside and outside has decreased. This may lead to lower energy costs, but it also hurts ventilation, which increases the possibility of contaminants getting inside and staying inside. With this in mind, it is easy to see why duct cleaning is important from a safety standpoint, since it can remove potentially damaging fungus and mold from a system that is not getting a large degree of ventilation.
Landscaping can be very important to safety in new homes , as well. Trees and bushes can help impede a potential intruder’s ability to get into a home. It’s also important to properly maintain trees and bushes in the yard so that they do not run the risk of becoming too weak to stand, which could fall onto the property of you or your neighbors, causing either property damage or injuries to anybody who lives in those homes.
When purchasing and moving into a new home, knowing that you and your family will be safe is vital to giving you peace of mind. Being that you and the family will spend most of your time in that home, when it comes to the various precautions taken to ensure home security, no stone should ever be left unturned in pursuit of fully securing the premises.

[Red Bluff, California USA]
White knight Gestamp Solar saves project begun by Solar Development Inc.
Project includes 309 kiloWatts of Solaria Corporation 2x Low Concentration PhotoVoltaic (LCPV) modules.
|From Red Bluff High School Solar Project|
At Intersolar North America 2011, Solaria Corporation Chief Commercial Officer Marco Garcia mentioned a photovoltaic (PV) system being constructed in Red Bluff, California, using around 400 kiloWatt (kW) of Solaria modules, less than originally planned. That tidbit set in motion my In Search of Solaria activities.
For once, a simple search in July 2011 of California Solar Statistics found a 750.7 kW DC commercial project Confirmed Reservation for a government customer by Solar Development Inc. using 3264 Solaria 230 Watt (W) modules.
Before continuing with the narrative, I’ll review the project timeline and details I discovered.
The Red Bluff Joint Union High School District entered into a twenty (20) year solar PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) with Solar Development Inc. in December 2009 to deploy solar at the Red Bluff High School covering 100 percent of electricity consumption while lowering costs from $0.16 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) to $0.145 per kWh. The PPA included an option to purchase the system after six (6) years for one-third of the installation cost per “Red Bluff school district expects savings from solar power” by Damon Arthur for The Record Searchlight.
Per “Solar panel construction begins” by Ashlan Brunello for The Bluffer, Solar Development began project work in March 2010 at the Spartan Ranch Road site with expected completion by June 2010. Later in the year, “Solar Project Delayed” states the project was halted because of Solar Development financing problems.
Solar Development failed to resolve the financing issue by a January 2011 deadline, and Gestamp Solar, a Gestamp Renewables company, submitted a PPA proposal to the Red Bluff Joint Union High School District Board of Trustees meeting in February 2011. At the March 2011 meeting, the Gestamp Solar PPA was approved with a contingency even though Gestamp had purchased the development rights from Solar Development and had a contract outside the PPA to pay the subcontractors, vendors, and the district’s legal expenses.
Gestamp Solar resumed construction this summer and expects to complete the project by the end of October 2011.
Gestamp Solar has made a few changes to the project by splitting the 811 kW DC installation across both the Red Bluff High School and the Salisbury High School with 750 kW and 61 kW each respectively. Also, the PV modules will not just be from Solaria but also Hanwha SolarOne Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ:HSOL). 309 kW of Solaria modules will be installed on the trackers at Red Bluff High School and the 502 kW balance will be Hanwha SolarOne SF220/230/240 modules. More details on the module counts and the Power-One, Inc. (NASDAQ:PWER) inverters selected are available in the updated California Solar Initiative (CSI) Confirmed Reservation.

Solar tracker field of dreams
After verifying and locating the exact position of the Red Bluff solar project, I conducted a site survey towards the end of August just before EU PVSEC. As shown in the Picasa slideshow, I found two fenced fields populated with a novel solar tracker design integrating a backside inverter mount. However, I was disappointed not even one of the trackers had Solaria modules installed.
I first thought the tracker was a new Solaria design. I spoke with Solaria during EU PVSEC and no one recognized or was willing to discuss the trackers or the project. I asked Ideematec Deutschland GmbH about the tracker because of the June 2011 press release: “Ideematec and Solaria sign contract for 40MW PV Tracker Systems”. The Ideematec spokesperson said this “is not an Ideematec tracker” and the arrangement focused on a SafeTrack Tracker variant designated the Solaria STS-1 single-axis tracking system. I also consulted with knowledgeable PV folks who also did not recognize the tracker. Later, Gestamp Solar settled the question by identifying the PVT 7.2DX dual-axis solar tracker was from PV Trackers and were part of the Solar Development package and equipment purchase. The exercise made me wonder if a collection of solar tracker mug shots or an online Jane’s type recognition guide is needed?
Gestamp Solar told me 30-40% of the PV modules are now installed at the project sites and tracker commissioning has begun.
For those critical of my last post, the PPA arrangement shielded the Red Bluff Joint Union High School District from most of the drama created by the travails of Solar Development Inc. even with the selection of bankable PV technologies.
Build it, and they, the Solaria modules, will come, eventually.
Here is a bonus Picasa slideshow from the April 22, 2011, Earth Day dedication of Solaria Corporation’s headquarters, manufacturing facility, and 110 kW solar array in Fremont, California USA.

Driving habits are a critical element of Alzheimer’s disease. For one, a change in driving habits can be a revealing symptom of Alzheimer’s. If your loved one commonly forgets where they are going while driving, this could be an alerting sign. Additionally, when someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, it’s important to know when to stop allowing them to drive, which can be a hard decision to make. A new study is examining the driving habits of older adults and how results could help identify Alzheimer’s.
For this research project, 50 adults were tested for early signs of the disease and will be monitored throughout the study. The outcomes are used to compare those who show early signs of Alzheimer’s, but no outward signs, against those who have normal results.
The researchers are hoping to get up to 300 participants in the study and be able to monitor their driving habits for a minimum of 2 years. Chips are installed under the dashboard of participants cars, and plugged into the vehicle’s computer system. They monitor sudden starts or stops, collisions, how many miles traveled during certain times, number of trips taken, lane deviation, and more. The drivers in the study basically forget about the chip so they don’t try and be on their best driving behavior, which more accurately describes their driving habits.
Signs of Alzheimer’s could include lane deviation, restricting driving to daytime hours, taking shorter trips, and avoiding driving during inclement weather. While some of this can be attributed to aging in general, medical tests and driving records will be looked at together to differentiate. Some driving habits can also be attributed to a bad driver from the beginning, which will also be taken into effect.
Around 30% of adults aged 65 or older have abnormal Alzheimer’s biomarkers, but the symptoms don’t usually manifest for 10 to 20 years. Researchers want to know not only how driving habits change with age, but with early biomarkers of the disease as well. Results from this study could be critical for pinpointing an appropriate time to intervene in someone’s driving, ultimately making the roads safer. They could also allow those that are still good drivers to remain on the roads longer and safer.
Any type of research that gives more information about Alzheimer’s disease is a step in the right direction. Because driving is such a crucial element to a person’s independence and quality of life, understanding driving habits can be extremely useful. Allowing someone to stay on the road longer, or taking away driving privileges is better for the individual themselves, as well as everyone around them.

About The Book
Find fun, fitness, and adventure in this physically and mentally challenging sport. With Orienteering, you’ll gain all the knowledge and skills necessary to participate safely and successfully in one of the world’s fastest growing activities.
Author Tom Renfrew, an expert orienteer and a top instructor in the U.K. for more than 20 years, is an enthusiastic and insightful teacher. He covers basic map reading, compass skills, completing a course, and what to do if lost. The richly illustrated book features 70 colorful maps, drawings, and photos that show beginners how to get started and that help more experienced orienteers assess and hone their skills.
Readers will also learn:
– how to select proper equipment,
– what happens at an orienteering event, from registration to crossing the finish line,
– how to read a map, recognize control features, and determine the best route
– how to adapt orienteering activities for people with disabilities,
– where to find the best orienteering in the United States and around the world, and
– how orienteering opportunities — like cross-country orienteering, night orienteering, street orienteering, mountain-bike orienteering, and even mountain marathoning — can provide further adventure.
Orienteering provides a sample course with detailed instructions for choosing the best route, and the book includes self-tests for determining skill knowledge and course readiness.
After mastering the basic techniques of orienteering, participants will be able to:
– sharpen outdoor skills and improve fitness;
– enjoy both recreational and competitive orienteering;
– add orienteering to other outdoor activities like mountain biking, skiing, and hiking; and
– plan scenic, exciting adventures during getaways or vacations.
This book is part of the Outdoor Pursuits Series from Human Kinetics. Like all the books in the series, Orienteering emphasizes safety, environmental responsibility, and — most of all — the fun of outdoor activity!

- High blood pressure speeds up hardening of the arteries, which increases the risk for heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, and other serious diseases.
- Controlling high blood pressure lowers the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
- Eating a diet that is low in sodium and high in fruits, vegetables, and lean protein can help reduce high blood pressure.
- High blood pressure is blood pressure that consistently measures at or above 140/90 millimeters of mercury (mm/Hg).
- People who have blood pressure below 120/80 mm/Hg have normal blood pressure.
- Blood pressure between 120/80 and 139/89 is called prehypertension.
- It’s important to prevent and treat high blood pressure. Although high blood pressure causes no symptoms, it damages the linings of the arteries and causes atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries. As a result, the risks for heart and vascular disease increase.
- Fortunately, patients can manage or lower their blood pressure with dietary changes, other lifestyle changes, and/or medications.
- An eating plan called Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) significantly reduces high blood pressure. The DASH diet is low in saturated fat, and high in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products. The DASH diet can reduce systolic blood pressure (the top number) by 8 to 14 mm/Hg, and reducing sodium intake can reduce systolic blood pressure by an additional 2 to 8 mm/Hg.
Positive Impact of Proper Management
Effectively managing and reducing high blood pressure will lower the risk for the following diseases and health conditions:
- Heart attack
- Aneurysms and other conditions of the aorta
- Angina pectoris
- Peripheral arterial disease
- Atrial arrhythmias
- Carotid artery disease
- Congenital heart disease
- Diabetic vascular disease
- Kidney failure
- Aortoiliac disease
Before recommending treatment options, the physician will do tests and analyze the patient’s current state of health, including:
- Measure blood pressure regularly
- Performs a physical examination
- Asks about the patient’s health history and lifestyle factors
Diseases like heart and vascular disease affect treatment recommendations and blood pressure goals. Existing conditions will need to be taken into consideration as a treatment plan is developed.
The physician may recommend combining the DASH eating plan with a reduced sodium intake. A reduced-sodium intake is less than 2,400 mg of sodium a day (1 teaspoon of salt has about 2,300 mg of sodium).
In general, the DASH eating plan emphasizes fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and dairy products. The diet limits red meats, fats and oils, and sugar-laden foods and products. The DASH plan also recommends including nuts, seeds, and legumes in the regular diet. Although the program is based on 2,000 calories a day, the physician will help to determine a patient’s unique caloric needs.
People who switch to a DASH-type diet may consume more fiber than they are used to. A high fiber intake can cause gas, diarrhea, or other digestive problems in some people. Introducing high-fiber foods gradually can help patients avoid or lessen these symptoms.
In addition to following a healthier diet, patients should make other lifestyle changes to manage or lower their blood pressure. These changes include:
- Losing weight
- Limiting alcohol consumption to 2 or fewer drinks a day
- Quitting smoking
Timeline of Effectiveness
In studies, many patients following the DASH diet experienced lower blood pressure within 2 weeks of starting the diet. Physicians recommend that patients make lifestyle changes for at least 3 months before determining overall effectiveness.
If lifestyle changes have not sufficiently lowered high blood pressure, the physician may prescribe medications. People who take medications should still continue making lifestyle changes. Patients who already take blood pressure medications should not stop using them once they start other lifestyle changes. Patients should always discuss their drug treatment with their physician.

Abstract: The purpose of the study was to examine preservice teachers’ (PTs) experiences and conceptions of appropriate and inappropriate elementary physical education instructional practices. Participants included a purposive sample of 92 PTs enrolled in an introductory elementary PE methods course. A 3-item open-ended questionnaire served as the data source. The questionnaire asked PTs to indicate what practices in the PE programs they participated in during their elementary school years were appropriate or inappropriate; and to describe the future PE programs they would like their future students to participate in. The National Association for Sport and Physical Education appropriate instructional practice categories were used for a deductive content analysis to code the open-ended questionnaire items. The categories were: Learning Environment, (LE) Instructional Strategies (INS), Curriculum (CRM), Assessment (AST), and Professionalism (PRG). Data were analyzed using frequencies and percentages. Most of PTs’ comments for appropriate practices that they experienced were in CRM (41%), followed by INS (35%). The highest percentage of comments for CRM and INS were in the motor skill learning experiences and class design subcategories respectively. Alternatively, the least percentage of comments were in PRG (.00%), followed by AST (4.00%). The highest percentage of comments for inappropriate practices was in LE (43.71%), followed by INS (37.09%). Furthermore, the highest percentage of comments regarding PTs’ future PE programs for appropriate and inappropriate practices were in CRM (37.50%) and LE (21.65%) respectively. Conversely, the lowest percentages were both in PRG, .57% (appropriate) and 2.06% (inappropriate) respectively. PTs’ reflections showed they focused on curriculum, instructional strategies, and learning environments in identifying appropriate and inappropriate practices in elementary PE.

Today, the United States’ food system is primarily a large industrial operation with smaller-scale community-based food systems. Although the industrial food system has benefitted society by increasing the amount of food available for every person, some of these products are “cheap” food products that generate external costs, such as poor health, potential wealth loss to farmers and environmental degradation. With over 1 billion individuals on earth undernourished and 15.8% of all U.S. households as of 2010 food insecure [Patel, 2012], this system has not completely solved food issues. Community-based food systems, on the other hand, minimize external costs by aiming to benefit the economic, environmental, and social health of communities. Quality food markets are defined in this study as locations within these smaller systems where local and quality food is sold and where consumer demand can affect supply and strengthen the smaller system. The primary purpose of this research was to learn what consumers understand about the external costs to “cheap” food and assesses quality food markets that minimize these external costs in the Bloomington-Normal, Illinois community. An in-depth literature review was conducted to understand what is known about this topic. Personal observation was conducted at quality food markets in Bloomington-Normal, IL to assess what experiences consumers were having at these locations. Fifteen key informant interviews were conducted, twenty-seven consumer interviews, and a consumer survey was circulated to the Green Top Grocery mailing list (those interested in food cooperative efforts in Bloomington-Normal, IL) and was completed by 248 consumers at an 18% response rate. The results helped identify the ability of the community-based food system to minimize the external costs of the industrial food system. Consumer interviews and the survey revealed information on how the consumer sample makes food-purchasing decisions based on criteria such as quality and price and that there is a range of understanding for the external costs of “cheap” food. This methodology also helped reveal strategies to continue moving similar community systems forward by adding or supporting quality food markets, and through understanding consumers and their food purchasing decisions. Such strategies may help minimize the external costs of the U.S. industrial food system.

More Deer Test Positive for Wasting Disease in Montana
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Nine more deer killed by hunters in Montana have tested positive for chronic wasting disease.
The latest findings bring to 22 the number of deer that have tested positive this season for the deadly brain wasting disease. Also known as CWD, it can affect the nervous systems of deer, elk and moose.
Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks said positive test results came back on two mule deer and a white-tailed deer shot south of Billings in Carbon County. Along the Hi-Line in northern Montana, the disease tally included three deer in Blaine County, two in Valley County and one in Phillips County.
State officials have said they could expand restrictions on the transport of brain or spinal column material from animals harvested in areas where the disease was found.

Two years ago, astronomersof a large lake beneath a thick layer of ice at Mars’ south pole. Now, scientists have confirmed that finding and detected three new underground lakes in the same area — and they believe there could be many more.
A new study, published this week in the journal Nature Astronomy, further confirms the 2018 discovery, extending that finding to three new ponds in the surrounding region. Researchers used radar data from the European Space Agency‘s Mars Express spacecraft, studying a data set of 134 observations between 2012-2019.
To detect the lakes, a radar instrument on Mars Express sent out radio waves to the red planet’s surface, which were then reflected back in a certain way depending on the material present there. A similar method is used to find subglacial lakes on Earth.

A yawning reality gap: Young people expect to retire with £95,000 pension pot - but most haven't started saving yet
Young people reckon they will retire with savings of £95,000, despite around three fifths not having started putting money towards pension yet, a survey reveals.
Among those aged 18-35, men are more optimistic about what they will retire on, setting their sights on an average retirement pot of £111,000, while women expect to save £82,000.
This is despite some 53 per cent of 26-35 year olds saying they aren’t in a workplace pension scheme, and 65 per cent of 18-25 year olds admitting the same thing, according to polling by NOW: Pensions.
Savings habit: Among 18-35 year-olds who have started saving, the average sum being set aside each month was just £22, a survey found
Its survey is the latest in a long line showing young people are putting aside nothing or only minimal sums for retirement, and harbouring unrealistic hopes of how much they might have on reaching old age.
NOW: Pensions says that if you bought an annuity - which delivers a guaranteed income for life - with a £100,000 pension pot at retirement, this would produce a fixed income of between £5,000 and £6,000 a year.
It calculates that to build up a pension pot of £100,000, you would need to save around £120 a month over 30 years and £70 over 40 years, including investment growth of 5 per cent a year.
However, among 18-35 year-olds who have started saving, the pension provider found the average sum being set aside each month was just £22. This would build up a pension pot of £18,000 over 30 years of saving and £56,500 over 40 years, assuming 5 per cent a year investment growth.
If young people make national insurance contributions, which are deducted from wages even if they aren't in a work pension scheme, they might also qualify for a full state pension if they pay in for long enough.
The state pension is currently worth £115.95 a week, or around £6,000 a year. It is also topped up by additional state pension entitlements - S2P and Serps - accrued during working years.
This two-tier system will start changing from 2016 and be entirely replaced by April 2021 with a 'flat rate' pension of between £144 and £155 a week in today's money.
The official guidance says that it will be no less than £148.40, which would work out at around £7,700 a year. At £155 a week, you're looking at around £8,000 a year.
Meanwhile, the Government's auto-enrolment initiative has forced all employers to set up workplace pension schemes if they didn't have them already.
That means workers aged between 22 and state pension age and earning more than £10,000 a year automatically start contributing towards a pension, unless they make an active move to opt out.
The current total minimum auto-enrolment payment is 2 per cent of salary, split between contributions from individuals and employers and tax relief from the Government. But the minimum auto-enrolment level is set to rise in stages to a total of 8 per cent in 2018.
Morten Nilsson of NOW: Pensions said: 'Auto enrolment will go a long way to getting young people into the savings habit but the sooner they start saving and the more they set aside each month, the easier it will be.
'While a £100,000 pension pot seems like a healthy amount, men aged 25 today are likely to live until they are 88 and women are likely to live until they are 91 [based on Office for National Statistics data] which means that this pot has to fund around two decades of retirement.'

Alyssa Gialamas may have seemed unlikely to become a world-class athlete when she was born 24 years ago with a rare condition called arthrogryposis that causes affected joints to be rigid. She walks with long leg braces to this day.
In the water, though, Alyssa has felt empowered since she first began swimming. By age 13, Alyssa was swimming in adaptive sports events. Just 4 years later, she competed in the 2012 Paralympic Games in London. In 2016 she swam in the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro as well.
Today, Alyssa is a busy young woman who juggles a demanding career and training routine. Alyssa talks about what drives her, and the impacts that physical therapy and her mother's support have on her life. She also highlights what she wants every person with a disability to know.
Alyssa Gialamas began swimming at the age of 3. She has adapted to life with arthrogryposis. Her motto, "You adapt, you overcome," led her to earn a lane in the pool as a Division 1 athlete for Loyola University Maryland, from which she graduated in 2018. She holds 22 American records and is a 2-time Paralympian. Recently, she won the gold and silver medals in Lima, Peru, at the Parapan Games.

Call me a spiritually obsessed literary geek, but the little spiritual wisdom I can claim I’ve gleaned from grammar. For example, take the memoirist’s point of view, first person singular. This is the “I” voice, the one every journal-keeper cherishes, as in “I do love grammar!” After memoirists’ initial honeymoon with the first person singular, during which the “I” is a magnificent, unfolding mystery, they go through a predictable period of discomfort. Alice McDermott described it this way: “The sight of too many first-person pronouns dribbling down the page tends to affect my reading mind in much the same way as too many ice cubes dropped down my back affect my spine.” “I” seems self-referential, self-obsessed. Innumerable memoirists try to eliminate the word “I” from there stories for fear of calling attention to themselves.
This discomfort isn’t limited to writers. Anyone who values (or has been taught to value) humility knows it. Women are the worst (or best?) offenders. We don’t like taking up space. Minnesotans, strongly influenced by Scandinavian cultures, are also notorious for self-deprecation. Self-assertion is suspect. You’d think egotism was a crime—or, more likely, a sin. Perhaps Christian roots are to blame, because Christianity’s strong (and worthy) moral teachings about caring for others and long (but terribly misunderstood) spiritual tradition of surrendering the will both lead us to treat the self with suspicion.
Here’s where grammar comes to the rescue. In the sentence, “I love grammar,” “I” is the subject, “love” is the verb, and “grammar” is the object. When writers choose “I” as their subject, they are creating a two-dimensional character to be the actor in their story. The “I” is a lens; it’s a uniquely curved piece of glass through which the author (and, later, the reader) looks at the world. In this sentence, the object of this lens’s attention is “grammar.” A reader looks lovingly through the I toward grammar.
In other words, a well-written first-person sentence, as with a well-written memoir, isn’t about the “I” at all. The “I” is simply a lens on life. Any attempt to erase the “I” is misguided, false humility. It’s an ego attached to not being egotistical. Henry David Thoreau knew this when he wrote Walden: “In most books the I, or first person, is omitted; in this it will be retained; that, in respect to egotism, is the main difference. We commonly do not remember that it is, after all, always the first person that is speaking.”
Thoreau’s acceptance of the “I” is representative of the new sense of self committed memoirists must embrace: The “I” is inescapable; it’s enough; it’s what we have to work with. Surprisingly, this consenting to the I’s unique graces and limitations frees us. Our willingness to look through that lens with love is, I believe, what the Christian mystics mean by surrender. Lest you think I’m off my rocker, today’s reflections are inspired by Jacob Boehme, German mystic and author of The Way to Christ: “You eagerly wish to completely break the ‘I’ and it wishes to become for you a completely divine ground.” The way is through the “I” and beyond! –Elizabeth Jarrett Andrew
Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate the launch of Living Revision: A Writer’s Craft as Spiritual Practice. If you’d like a copy, it’s available through inSpirit Books until March, when it will be more widely available.

Small businesses are the core of the economy; make sure yours is covered with a proper small business insurance policy. Contact Keep Insurance today for an insurance quote.
Small Business Insurance Policy
Running a business often means taking on risk. Small business insurance aims to protect businesses against costly risks such as theft, fire, damage, and workplace injuries. Some policies are mandatory for business owners, and many others, while not mandatory, are still essential protections. Small business policies, in particular, provide protection from losses or damages while also sending positive messages to customers and investors that the business’ interests are safeguarded.
Strategically Choose What Your Business Needs
Small business owners must select insurance policies best suited to their business as well as those mandated by local law. These policies may include:
- Employer’s Liability Insurance Policy
This is also known workers compensation insurance, which varies across regions. By providing this type of policy, you can monetarily compensate employees injured or disabled while at work.
- Disability Insurance Policy
Small businesses operating in New York and other select states are required to carry disability insurance. This partially supports employees and owners in the case of injury or inability to work.
- Business Auto Insurance Policy
This insurance policy is required for all companies with vehicles. Regulations governing such insurance vary across states and depend on vehicle drivers.
Other Essential Small Business Policies
- Property and Liability Insurance Policy
This coverage protects valuable assets and expensive equipment owners can’t afford to lose from fire, theft and other unforeseen disasters. Make sure you are covered for the “replacement value” of your assets when choosing this insurance.
- Business Owner’s Insurance Policy
Highly recommended for small business owners, this insurance offers personal protection in case of litigation against the business.
- Errors and Omissions (E&O) Insurance Policy
E&O insurance is a must-have for consulting and other professional service firms. When a client holds your business responsible for damaging error, E&O protects customers adversely affected by such an error.
- Criminal Liability Policy
While an E&O policy covers unintentional errors, criminal liability insurance covers intentional damages and criminal acts done by employees.

Methodology applied :
The methodology applied to calculate the efficiency of a strategy is as follows:
- Bullish and bearish signals are calculated every evening when the market is closed.
- The reference price corresponds to the opening price following the detection of the signal.
- The gain or the loss is calculated over a period of 40 days following the detection of the signal by taking the highest closing price recorded over the period.
- This period is reduced in case of detection of an inverse signal.
- The efficiency rate is calculated by dividing the sum of gains and losses on the sum by the sum of the gains.
This efficency is displayed in %.

Why Companies Are Reshoring to North America08.04.20
For decades, U.S. manufacturers have relied on China for less expensive labor and production costs with Mexico right behind as a competitive, viable option. Within recent years, Mexico has surpassed China as the top manufacturing partner with the U.S. due to trade difficulties with China and more recently, the Covid-19 crisis. Prior to the pandemic and the enforcement of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), companies doing business in China weren’t initially ready to make the move to Mexico.
However, conversations have changed since the USMCA was officially enforced on July 1, 2020, particularly within the automotive industry. The rules of origins and origin procedures under the USMCA requires that 75 percent of auto content be made in North America. These new provisions have even caused some Chinese manufacturers to consider building a facility in Mexico to continue involvement in the supply chain.
For companies that have been thinking about reshoring to Mexico, the best way to take advantage of this is by working with an experienced Mexico shelter company. It’s the fastest, most effective way of setting up operations, while complying with the rules outlined by the USMCA.
Positive U.S.-Mexico Trade Relations and Better Cost Value
With the increasing challenges that accompany trade with China, U.S. manufacturers do not want to rely on the volatile nature of this business relationship. For U.S. shippers, Mexico is far more attractive cost- and control-wise. The benefits of reshoring to Mexico are greater than what’s viable when operating in China. For example, expedited shipping can be maintained within days or weeks by trucks versus waiting for a container ship or air shipments that can take a month or longer and be far more costly.
Furthermore, the advantage of cost-effective labor that was once a top selling point of manufacturing in China is maintained, if not made better, by the skilled workforce in Mexico. Plus, the availability of shelter services in Mexico is a draw for manufacturers that want to set up operations as quickly as possible.
A shelter company is registered through the IMMEX program, which is unique to Mexico and waives value-added tax from temporarily imported goods, equipment, and materials, as long as the final product is exported to the U.S. within the regulated timeframe. Additionally, U.S. companies are protected under the shelter umbrella which minimizes legal risk and liability.
Quality Control and Mexico Shelter Company Liability Protection
When the pandemic hit, several production centers in China were closed seemingly overnight, which caused U.S. manufacturers to scramble for a solution. However, manufacturers were already considering the benefits of reshoring to Mexico prior to the coronavirus. Now that business is starting to resume normal operations, companies have reevaluated what makes sense for the long-term.
They are concentrating on Mexico as their top option due to the cost-effective labor and closer proximity. Being closer to home leads to better quality control and ability to quickly adapt to changing customer needs, as well as environmental and government mandates.
By having an experienced Mexico shelter company assist in site selection, customs compliance, and employee relations, it provides a value not found in trade relations with China. Shelter services in Mexico also include securing permits and certifications, recruiting top industrial talent, and setting up accounting and HR branches of the operational setup, among other business needs.
If you’re considering relocating your factory in Asia back to North America and want to explore the benefits of manufacturing in Mexico, contact IVEMSA today.

Relamation 7 Dewater Project
This reclamation and dewater project was part of a larger project to revitalize the 325 acre lake in Florida. Working with Phoenix Process, we provided a mobile central control room and process control system for the project. The system pumps sand, silt, and water from a dredge barge in the lake. This takes the water through a treatment process and then is returned to the lake. The solids also go through a system to separate the organic materials.
Process Control System & Mobile Control Room
The mobile process control room was provided in a 40’ shipping container for placement around the lake during the dredging process. The mobile control room contained the Motor Control Centers (MCCs), a PLC, a PC HVAC unit, two-man door access and Meltric quick disconnect field terminations. The process control system incorporated an HG cyclone separator and a 120’ clarifier to treat the water. It also included eight belt filter presses for the separation of organic solids.

Can IRS put you in jail?
Moral of the Story: The IRS Saves Criminal Prosecution for Exceptional Cases. While the IRS does not pursue criminal tax evasion cases for many people, the penalty for those who are caught is harsh. They must repay the taxes with an expensive fraud penalty and possibly face jail time of up to five years.
Can the IRS put you in jail for not filing taxes?
And for good reason—failing to pay your taxes can lead to hefty fines and increased financial problems. But, failing to pay your taxes won't actually put you in jail. In fact, the IRS cannot send you to jail, or file criminal charges against you, for failing to pay your taxes.
At what point will the IRS send you to jail?
But you will never be sent to jail for not having the money to pay your taxes. The IRS targets taxpayers who: Fail to file their tax returns – Failing to file your tax returns can land you in jail for up to one year, for every year that you failed to file your taxes.
Can the IRS file criminal charges?
The IRS initiates criminal investigations against fewer than 2 percent of all American taxpayers. Of that number, only about 20 percent face criminal tax charges or fines.
How much money can you owe the IRS before you go to jail?
In general, no, you cannot go to jail for owing the IRS. Back taxes are a surprisingly common occurrence. In fact, according to 2018 data, 14 million Americans were behind on their taxes, with a combined value of $131 billion!
Do You Know When The IRS Can Send You To Jail?
What happens if you owe the IRS money and don't pay?
If you don't pay the amount shown as tax you owe on your return, we calculate the Failure to Pay Penalty in this way: The Failure to Pay Penalty is 0.5% of the unpaid taxes for each month or part of a month the tax remains unpaid. The penalty won't exceed 25% of your unpaid taxes.
How long can you get away with not paying taxes?
In general, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has 10 years to collect unpaid tax debt. After that, the debt is wiped clean from its books and the IRS writes it off.
What triggers an IRS criminal investigation?
Specifically, unreported income, a false statement, the use of an impermissible accounting or banking service, or declaring too many deductions are things that could initiate an audit, which could then rise to the level of an IRS criminal investigation process.
What does IRS criminal investigation do?
IRS Criminal Investigation (CI) serves the American public by investigating potential criminal violations of the Internal Revenue Code and related financial crimes in a manner that fosters confidence in the tax system and compliance with the law.
What happens if you are audited and found guilty?
If the IRS has found you "guilty" during a tax audit, this means that you owe additional funds on top of what has already been paid as part of your previous tax return. At this point, you have the option to appeal the conclusion if you so choose.
What happens if you get audited and owe money?
The IRS Can Seize Anything of Value. One way or another, the IRS will get their money. If the audit reveals that you owe money, and you have no way to pay, then the IRS will start looking into your assets. If you own your vehicle, they can seize it, sell it, and apply the funds to your tax debt.
Can the IRS show up at your door?
Yes, the IRS can visit you. But this is rare, unless you have a serious tax problem. If the IRS is going to visit you, it's usually one of these people: IRS revenue agent: This person conducts audits at your business or home.
What happens if you can't pay your taxes?
The IRS will bill you for the rest. You'll owe interest on the balance, and you might owe a late payment penalty. If you owe $50,000 or less in combined taxes, interest, and penalties, you can request an installment agreement. To do so, complete an online payment agreement.
What happens if you owe the IRS more than $25000?
Taxpayers may still qualify for an installment agreement if they owe more than $25,000, but a Form 433F, Collection Information Statement (CIS), is required to be completed before an installment agreement can be considered.
What happens if you owe the IRS more than $50000?
If you owe $50,000 or less, you should be able to get an installment payment plan for 72 months just by asking for it. If you owe more than $50,000, you will have to negotiate with the IRS to get one and provide financial information.
Can IRS check my bank account?
The Short Answer: Yes. The IRS probably already knows about many of your financial accounts, and the IRS can get information on how much is there. But, in reality, the IRS rarely digs deeper into your bank and financial accounts unless you're being audited or the IRS is collecting back taxes from you.
Does the IRS have a police force?
Who are we? Criminal Investigation (CI) is the law enforcement branch of the IRS. Our mission is to serve the American public by investigating potential criminal violations of the Internal Revenue Code, and related financial crimes, in a manner that fosters confidence in the tax system and compliance with the law.
Is the IRS a police?
As a central civil service under Group A of the executive branch of the Government of India, it functions under the Department of Revenue of the Ministry of Finance and is under the administrative direction of the Revenue Secretary and the ministerial command of the Minister of Finance.
Can the IRS take your house?
Yes. If you owe back taxes and don't arrange to pay, the IRS can seize (take) your property. The most common “seizure” is a levy.
How long do IRS investigations take?
Often a tax fraud investigation takes twelve to twenty-four months to complete, with 1,000 to 2,000 staff hours being devoted to the case.
Does the IRS tap phones?
Will the IRS tap my phone? It is highly unlikely. Unless you have been under investigation for over a year, and this is at least a $5 million case, the IRS will not go through the trouble to wire tap your phones. It is far too expensive and time consuming for them to listed to every one of your conversations.
Should I be scared of the IRS?
If you are not participating in the collection process, and you don't hire someone to deal with them on your behalf, you should fear the IRS. Remember that they can also seize any business assets and your home. The IRS will not hesitate to close down your business, especially if you owe payroll taxes.
Can the IRS make you homeless?
The Status of Your House
The IRS does not want to make taxpayers homeless; however, they do need to collect the debt. They might recommend you sell your home in order to pay off your debt, or they might end up seizing it if they feel it is the only way to get paid.
How do I get my IRS debt forgiven?
Apply With the New Form 656
An offer in compromise allows you to settle your tax debt for less than the full amount you owe. It may be a legitimate option if you can't pay your full tax liability or doing so creates a financial hardship. We consider your unique set of facts and circumstances: Ability to pay.
What is the IRS 6 year rule?
The six-year rule allows for payment of living expenses that exceed the CFS, and allows for other expenses, such as minimum payments on student loans or credit cards, as long as the tax liability, including penalty and interest, can be full paid in six years.

The metaverse is a contemporary technology movement that is still in its early phases of development, but it is predicted to become enormous in the future due on its capacity to link people all over the world in 3D virtual worlds.
People may learn, work, play and socialize in the metaverse from their homes using mixed reality devices that support both virtual reality and augmented reality. Not surprisingly, investments in this area are anticipated to rise dramatically in the coming years. The metaverse market is expected to develop at an annual rate of around 48% through 2029 and reach a size of just over $1.5 trillion near end of the forecast period, according to a third-party forecast.
The rise of the metaverse might see these tech giants gain a significant boost. Here’s why Nvidia (NVDA 5.29%) and Microsoft (MSFT 2.03%) could benefit investors handsomely from this trend. Let’s look at why the metaverse may cause these IT companies’ stock prices to go up significantly.
In numerous ways, Nvidia may benefit from the metaverse. Even before it has fully taken hold, Nvidia is already enjoying the benefits of this developing technology trend, as it powers Meta Platforms’ (FB 1.29%) supercomputer intended to aid in the expansion of the metaverse. The Meta AI Research SuperCluster (RSC) computer is powered by over 6,000 Nvidia GPUs. When Meta finishes adding more GPU capacity to its existing supercomputer, it will be powered by about 16,000 Nvidia GPUs.
The potential of artificial intelligence (AI) applications is limitless, according to Meta. “The work done with RSC will lay the groundwork for future technologies for the next big computing platform, which is the metaverse, where AI-driven apps and items will play a significant role,” says Meta. This implies that demand for Nvidia GPUs should grow in the long run as servers, data centers, and supercomputers will have to be modernized to serve real-time 3D content delivery for millions of users across the world.
More than 400 firms, according to Nvidia, have tested the Omniverse platform. BMW has used the Omniverse to make a digital twin factory, while Ericsson is using it to test and visualize 5G wireless networks before releasing them.
This implies that Nvidia’s business could get a significant boost as a result of the metaverse, which is likely to have an impact on the firm’s already rapid growth. Nvidia ended fiscal year 2022 (which ended January 30) with a 61% year-over-year boost in revenue of $26.9 billion, and the potential for the metaverse suggests that it is just beginning to explore a huge market opportunity.
Analysts forecast Nvidia to grow earnings at a compound annual rate of 30% over the next five years, and the metaverse may help it accelerate its growth rate and supercharge the stock in the long term.
Another technology giant, Microsoft, is also on track to profit from the metaverse in a variety of ways, including the lucrative video gaming market.
Microsoft is reportedly close to closing a deal to acquire Activision Blizzard, which it values at $60 billion. Microsoft’s press release when the acquisition was announced stated that the “acquisition will help Microsoft accelerate growth in its gaming business across PC, mobile, console, and cloud,” as well as providing building blocks for the metaverse. It is also worth noting that Microsoft already has a strong foothold in the gaming industry thanks to its Game Pass subscription service, Xbox consoles, and a large collection of games thanks to its ownership of numerous gaming studios.
Microsoft’s ability to benefit from the metaverse gaming industry opportunity, which is expected to develop at a rapid rate, puts it in a strong position. Grayscale, a cryptocurrency asset management firm, forecasts that virtual world economies may be worth $400 billion by 2025 as opposed to $180 billion by 2020. Almost all of the virtual game revenue will come from in-game spending, so Activision’s 400 million users will provide Microsoft access to a big population of gamers from whom it can drive incremental spending to fuel its gaming business in the metaverse.
Microsoft has already established its presence in the metaverse with Mesh for Microsoft Teams, which is a collaboration tool that links people together via their virtual avatars. This product, which is based on the popular Microsoft Teams communications software, will allow individuals across the world to participate in meetings in realistic 3D environments through their virtual representations. With over 250 million users, Microsoft may cross-sell its metaverse communication platform to a massive audience.
Analysts forecast Microsoft’s earnings to grow at a pace of 16% per year for the next five years, but don’t be surprised if it outperforms that number, thanks to lucrative growth drivers like the metaverse. That is why buying Microsoft stock appears to be a no-brainer, as it trades at a P/E ratio of 26, below its five-year average of 37.

What is Scottish Business UK?
Scottish Business UK (SBUK) is an independent, non-party voice for business leaders who want to see Scotland thrive economically as part of the United Kingdom.
It seeks to make a positive case for that future and believes strongly that the campaign to break up the UK offers unacceptable disruption for business and public services, especially as Scotland tries to rebound from the challenges created by the Covid-19 pandemic.
As an organisation representing business leaders across a wide range of sectors and geographical areas in Scotland, SBUK is sending a clear signal to the Scottish Government that we do not welcome the additional uncertainty created by the continued threat of a second referendum on breaking up the United Kingdom. If a further referendum is announced, SBUK stands ready to garner the support of company leaders to secure the best interests of business across Scotland.
SBUK’s founder and chairman is serial entrepreneur Robert Kilgour and its Chief Executive is Struan Stevenson. They are supported by an Advisory Council whose members currently oversee business interests that together employ over 10,000 people in Scotland and over 35,000 UK wide.

This chapter concerns expert intuition, the coping skill that develops in a domain after an individual with innate talent has considerable learning experience accompanied by an awareness of the quality of each performance. Commonly, but not exclusively, such skill involves a sequence of behaviors. Examples of this sort of skillful coping include driving a car on an empty road, reading and understanding the nuances of social situations, a chess master making moves during a game of fast chess and the actions of an experienced firefighting team commander. These particular examples are designated as ‘expert intuition’ and are listed among examples of fast thinking in the recent bestselling book Thinking, fast and slow by Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman (2011: 11, 21–22). Three of these examples are of conventionally recognized skills, but the one involving social behavior is also typical of what I have in mind. Acting or reacting in familiar sorts of situations such as in the examples above, I shall argue, should not be regarded as ‘decision making,’ ‘thinking’ or ‘mental activity’ in the conventional usage of these terms. In fact, most of our adult life is spent exhibiting learned intuitive forms of expertise that are so effortless that they are taken for granted. They are cases of individuals knowing automatically, quickly and effortlessly how to proceed in situations without being able to explain their performance.

Every Pixar movie is connected. I explain how, and possibly why.
In 2012, I watched a video on Cracked.com that introduced the idea (at least to me) that all of the Pixar movies actually exist within the same universe. Since then, I’ve obsessed over this concept, working to complete what I call The Pixar Theory, a working narrative that ties all of the Pixar movies into one cohesive timeline with a main theme. Another, longer, title is “The Grand Unifying Theory of Pixar Movies.”
This theory covers every feature-length movie made by Pixar Animation Studios since 1995. They include:
- Toy Story
- A Bug’s Life
- Toy Story 2
- Monsters Inc.
- Finding Nemo
- The Incredibles
- Toy Story 3
- Cars 2
- Monsters University
- Inside Out (in Part 2)
- The Good Dinosaur (in Part 3)
- Finding Dory (in Part 4)
- Cars 3, Coco, Incredibles 2, and Toy Story 4 will be included in the upcoming book
The point of this theory is to have fun and exercise your imagination while simultaneously finding interesting connections between these fantastic movies. The trick is not take any of it too seriously. If you would like to experience a shorter version of this theory, check out the visualized Pixar Theory Timeline.
In fact, I highly suggest you watch this video I made with Screen Junkies/Fandom below. It more thoroughly lays out this theory and its most complex ideas. It’s also a far more “current” version of the theory compared to the rest of this post. Plus, it has more movies included! Enjoy.
The original Pixar Theory:
As of this writing in 2013, Brave is the first and last movie in the timeline. Obviously, this movie about a Scottish kingdom during the Dark Ages is the earliest time period covered by the Pixar films, but it’s also the only Pixar movie that actually explains why animals in the Pixar universe behave like humans sometimes.
In Brave, Merida discovers that there is “magic” that can solve her problems but inadvertently turns her mother into a bear. We find out that this magic comes from an odd witch seemingly connected to the mysterious will-of-the-wisps. Not only do we see animals behaving like humans, but we also see brooms (inanimate objects) behaving like people in the witch’s shop.
We also learn that this witch inexplicably disappears every time she passes through doors, leading us to believe that she may not even exist. Don’t get ahead of me, but we’ll come back to Brave. Let’s just say that for now, the witch is someone we know from a different movie in the timeline.
[Some of you have pointed out that the animals in Brave gradually regress back into an animal state, disproving the idea that this is the source of animals acting like humans. My rebuttal is simple. They regress because the magic wears off. Over time, their evolving intelligence grows naturally.]
Centuries later, the animals from Brave that have been experimented on by the witch have interbred, creating a large-scale population of animals slowly gaining personification and intelligence on their own.
There are two progressions: the progression of the animals and the progression of artificial intelligence. The events of the following movies set up a power struggle between humans, animals, and machines.
The stage for all-out war in regards to animals is set by Ratatouille, Finding Nemo, and Up, in that order. Notice I left out A Bug’s Life, but I’ll explain why later.
In Ratatouille, we see animals experimenting with their growing personification in small, controlled experiments.
Remy wants to cook, which is something only humans explicitly do. He crafts a relationship with a small group of humans and finds success. Meanwhile, the villain of Ratatouille, Chef Skinner, disappears. What happened to him? What did he do with his newfound knowledge that animals were capable of transcending their instincts and performing duties better than humans?
It’s possible that Charles Muntz, the antagonist of Up, learned of this startling rumor, giving him the idea to begin inventing devices that would harness the thoughts of animals, namely his dogs, through translator collars. Those collars indicated to Muntz that animals are smarter and more like humans than we think. He needed this technology to find the exotic bird he’s obsessed over, and he even comments on how many dogs he’s lost since he arrived in South America.
But then Dug and the rest of his experiments are set free after Muntz’s demise, and we don’t know the full implications of that, but what we do know is that animosity between the animals and humans is growing steadily. Now that humans have discovered the potential of animals, they are beginning to cross the line. To develop this new technology, the humans begin an industrial revolution hinted at in Up.
[Some have pointed out that Muntz was working in South America before the events of Ratatouille. This is true, but it is not explicitly stated how and when he developed the collars. Also, we know Ratatouille takes place before Up for several reasons. In Toy Story 3, a postcard on Andy’s wall has Carl and Ellie’s name and address on it (including their last names to confirm). This confirms that in 2010, the time of Toy Story 3, Ellie is still alive or hasn’t been dead long. This supports the idea that Up takes place years later.]
In the beginning of Up, Carl is forced to give up his house to a corporation because they are expanding the city.
Wait a second. What corporation is guilty for polluting the earth and wiping out life in the distant future because of technological overreach?
Buy-n-Large (BNL), a corporation that runs just about everything by the time we get to Wall-E. In the“History of BNL” commercial from the movie, we’re told that BNL has even taken over the world governments. Did you catch that this one corporation achieved global dominance? Interestingly, this is the same organization alluded to in Toy Story 3:
In Finding Nemo, we have an entire population of sea creatures uniting to save a fish that was captured by humans. BNL shows up again in this universe via another news article that talks about a beautiful underwater world.
Lines are being crossed. Humans are beginning to antagonize the increasingly networked and intelligent animals.
Think about Dory from Finding Nemo for a second. She stands apart from most of the other fish. Why? She isn’t as intelligent. Her short-term memory loss is likely a result of her not being as advanced as the other sea creatures, which is a reasonable explanation for how rapidly these creatures are evolving.
It’s likely that the sequel to Finding Nemo, which is about Dory, will touch on this and further explain why. We may also get some more evidence pointing to animosity between humans and animals.
[Some great users have pointed out that Dory is actually more intelligent and shows signs of growth due to her ability to read and communicate with whales. This would actually show signs of how the animals are beginning to change in intelligence gradually.]
And that is the furthest movie in the “animal” side of things. When it comes to A.I., we start with The Incredibles. Who is the main villain of this movie? You probably thought of Buddy, a.ka. Syndrome, who basically commits genocide on super-powered humans.
Or does he? Buddy didn’t have any powers. He used technology to enact revenge on Mr. Incredible for not taking him seriously. Seems a little odd that the man went so far as to commit genocide.
[A lot of people have been arguing about where The Incredibles actually takes place because we see technology from modern times and the 1980s even though everything has a 1960s vibe. This is cleared by Brad Bird, the director, who says the movie takes place in an alternate 1960s, which means the movie opens in the 1950s.]
And how does he kill all of the supers? He creates the omnidroid, an A.I. “killbot” that learns the moves of every super-human and adapts. When Mr. Incredible is first told about this machine, Mirage mentions that it is an advanced artificial intelligence that has gone rogue.
Mr. Incredible points out that it got smart enough to wonder why it had to take orders. The omnidroid eventually turns on Syndrome, and starts attacking humans in the city. Why would an A.I. want to just attack randomly? Do machines have an inherent hatred of humans?
The movie even shows clips of the superheroes with capes being done in by inanimate objects, such as plane turbines…accidentally.
But why would machines want to get rid of humans in the first place? We know that animals don’t like humans because they are polluting the Earth and experimenting on them, but why would the machines have an issue?
Enter Toy Story. Here we see humans using and discarding “objects” that are clearly sentient. Yes, the toys love it Uncle Tom style, but over the course of the Toy Story sequels, we see toys becoming fed up. But wait, toys and inanimate objects aren’t necessarily machines, so how do they have some kind of intelligence?
Syndrome points to the answer. He tells Mr. Incredible that his lasers are powered by Zero Point Energy. This is the electromagnetic energy that exists in a vacuum. It’s the unseen energy we find in wavelengths and a reasonable explanation for how toys and objects in the Pixar world draw power.
By the events of the Toy Story movies, we are in the 90s until 2010. It’s been 40-50 years or so since the events of The Incredibles, giving A.I. plenty of time to develop BNL.
Meanwhile, Pixar is hinting at dissatisfaction among pockets of toy civilizations. The toys rise up against Sid in the first movie. Jesse resents her owner, Emily, for abandoning her. Lotso Huggin’ Bear straight up hates humans by the third movie.
Toys are obviously not satisfied with the status quo, providing a reason for why machines and objects alike are ready to take over.
So, by the 2000s, the super-humans are all but gone, and mankind is vulnerable. Animals, who want to rise up Planet of the Apes style, have the ability to take over, but we don’t see this happen.
Also, A.I. never takes over humans by force. Why do you think that is? It’s reasonable to assume that machines did take over, just not as we expected. The machines used BNL, a faceless corporation (which are basically faceless in nature) to dominate the world, starting in the 1960s after the Omnidroid fails to defeat the Incredibles.
In each of the Toy Story movies, it’s made painfully clear that sentient objects rely on humans for everything. For fulfillment and even energy. It’s hinted at that the Toys lose all life when put away in “storage” unless they are in a museum that will get them seen by humans.
So machines decide to control humans by using a corporation that suits their every need, leading to an industrial revolution that eventually leads to…pollution. When the animals rise up against the humans to stop them from polluting the earth, who will save them? The machines.
We know that the machines will win the war, too, because after this war, there are almost no animals left on Earth. Who’s left?
Because the machines tip everything out of balance, Earth becomes an unfit planet for humans and animals, so the remaining humans are put on Axiom (or Noah’s Ark if you want to carry on the Biblical theme where Wall-E is basically Robot Jesus and his love interest is aptly named Eve) as a last-ditch effort to save the human race.
On Axiom, the humans have no purpose aside from having their needs met by the machines. The machines have made humans dependent on them for everything because that is how they were treated as “toys.” It’s all they know.
Meanwhile on Earth, machines are left behind to populate the world and run things, explaining human landmarks and traditions still being prominent in Cars. There are no animals or humans in this version of Earth because they’re all gone, but we do know that the planet still has many human influences left.
[Some have noted that the world of Cars can’t be after humans left because there’s no pollution shown in the movies. If you look carefully at Wall-E, however, the world is never shown during this time, so we don’t really know how badly the Earth was polluted.]
[It’s possible that the machines sent humans away to curb overpopulation and fix the environment without them, but the world was drained of resources as a result of machines populating the Earth. That would explain why the machines abandoned Earth entirely, leaving only Wall-E behind.]
In Cars 2, the cars go to Europe and Japan, making it plain that this is all taking place on Earth as we know it. So what happened to the cars? We’ve learned by now that humans are the source of energy for the machines. That’s why they never got rid of them.
In Wall-E, they point out that BNL intended to bring the humans back once the planet was clean again, but they failed. The machines on Earth eventually died out, though we don’t know how.
What we do know is that there is an energy crisis in Cars 2, with oil being the only way society trudges on despite its dangers. We even learn that the Allinol corporation was using “green energy” as a catalyst for a fuel war in order to turn cars away from alternative energy sources. That “clean” fuel could have been used to wipe out many of the cars, very quickly.
[Someone pointed out that “all in all” means the same thing as “by and large” making the connection between Cars and Wall-E even more substantial.]
Which brings us back to Wall-E. Have you ever wondered why Wall-E was the only machine left? We know that the movie begins 800 years after humans have left Earth on Axiom, governed by the AutoPilot (another A.I. reference).
Could it be that Wall-E’s fascination with human culture and friendship with a cockroach is what allowed him to keep finding fulfillment and the ability to maintain his personality? That’s why he was special and liberated the humans.
He remembered the times when humans and machines lived in peace, away from all of the pollution caused by both sides.
After Wall-E liberates the humans and they rebuild society back on Earth, what happens then? During the end credits of Wall-E, we see the shoe that contains the last of plant life. It grows into a mighty tree. A tree that strikingly resembles the central tree in A Bug’s Life.
That’s right. The reason no humans show up in A Bug’s Life is because there aren’t a lot left. We know because of the cockroach that some of the insects survived, meaning they would have rebounded a bit faster, though the movie had to be far enough in the timeline for birds to have returned as well, though they’re noticeably less intelligent than the bugs.
[I’ll admit, the trees looking similar isn’t enough to support the idea that A Bug’s Life takes place after Wall-E, but there’s definitely more reasons for why it’s likely. Also, I’ll bring the tree up again later because it appears in Up as well.]
There’s something strikingly different about A Bug’s Life when compared to other Pixar portrayals of animals, which leads me to believe it takes place in the future. Unlike Ratatouille, Up, and Finding Nemo, the bugs have many human activities similar to what the rats in Ratatouille were merely experimenting with.
The bugs have cities, bars, advertisements, their own machines, know what a bloody mary is and even have a traveling circus. This all assumes that the movie is in a different time period.
The other factor that sets A Bug’s Life apart from other Pixar movies is the fact that it is the only one, besides Cars and Cars 2, that doesn’t revolve (or even include) humans.
[Okay there is a a lot of contention over the idea that A Bug’s Life takes place post-apocalypse, but hear me out. The reason I am so inclined to push the idea is because of how different the bug world is from the “animal” movies. No other Pixar movie has animals wearing clothing, wild inventions, animals creating machines, or so much human influence like bars and cities.]
[In Finding Nemo, the most human thing we see is a school, and even that is pretty stripped down. But in A Bug’s Life, we have a world where humans are barely even implied. At one point, one of the ants tells Flik not to leave the island because there are “snakes, birds, and bigger bugs out there.” He doesn’t even bring up humans.
[Yes, there are some humans, like the kid who allegedly picked the wings off of the homeless bug, but that still fits in a post Wall-E world. Also, the bugs have to be irradiated for them to live such long lifespans. The average lifespan of an ant is just 3 months, but these ants all survive an entire summer and allude to being around for quite some time by saying things like “this happens every year.” One of the ants even says he “feels 90 again.” That works if you accept that the ants are sturdier due to evolution and mutated genes.]
There’s another Pixar movie that was supposed to be released in 2012, but it was cancelled and replaced with Brave. This movie was called Newt, and I believe it might have fit in this part of the timeline post-Wall-E. The movie’s supposed plot: “What happens when the last remaining male and female blue-footed newts on the planet are forced together by science to save the species, and they can’t stand each other?”
A movie about an endangered species rebuilding itself could lend itself nicely to this theory, but since the movie was never released, I’m just speculating.
So what happens next? Humanity, machines, and animals grow in harmony to the point where a new super species is born. Monsters. The monsters civilization is actually Earth in the incredibly distant future.
[Someone wisely pointed out that in Monsters University, the college is said to be founded in 1313. If we’re really in the future, then that means the monsters could have reset society and begun using their own calendar. That could mean Monsters Inc. takes place up to 1400 (or more) years after A Bug’s Life.]
Where did they come from? It’s possible that the monsters are simply the personified animals mutated after the diseased earth was irradiated for 800 years.
[Not during Wall-E. I would guess that it took hundreds of years after Wall-E for the animals to become monsters]
Whatever the reason, these monsters seem to all look like horribly mutated animals, only larger and civilized. They have cities and even colleges, as we see in Monsters University.
[An issue some have found is that this doesn’t properly explain what happened to humans. I haven’t settled on a theory I really like yet, but I’m leaning towards the idea that monsters and machines eventually forgot that they need humans and got rid of them again, not realizing their mistake until all humans died out. Another explanation is that humans just couldn’t survive on Earth anymore.]
In Monsters Inc., they have an energy crisis because they are in a future earth without humans. Humans are the source of energy, but thanks to the machines, again, the Monsters find a way to use doors to travel to the human world. Only, it’s not different dimensions.
The monsters are going back in time. They’re harvesting energy to keep from becoming extinct by going back to when humans were most prominent. The peak of civilization, if you will. Though a lot of time has passed, animosity towards humans never really went away for animals/monsters.
Monsters must have relied on anti-human instincts to believe that just touching a human would corrupt their world like it did in the past. So they scare humans to gather their energy until they realize that laughter (green energy) is more efficient because it is positive in nature.
[An alternative explanation that fits even better that some of you brought up: The machines and monsters created the time travel doors but realized that messing with time could erase their existence and change history. So, they falsely trained monsters to believe that humans are toxic and from another dimension, making it suicide for a monster to interact too much with their world.]
[Another issue is how the monsters seem to worry about kids “being less scared these days.” It’s likely that going in the past takes a lot of energy, so the monsters can only go back as far as the practice still returns a profit in energy. To them, they’re just moving through the same dimension of time, but the monsters at the top know that eventually, they’ll run out. This is why Waternose is so bent on capturing children and enslaving them.]
We even see a connection between A Bug’s Life and Monsters Inc. via the trailer we see in both movies. As you can see, the trailer looks exactly the same, except the one in A Bug’s Life is noticeably older and more decrepit, while the one in Monsters Inc. (where Randall is sent via a door) has humans and looks newer.
Look at the picture above. On the left is the trailer from A Bug’s Life and the one on the right is from Monsters Inc. The one on the left looks older and more rundown. Even the vegetation is noticeably dryer and there’s less of it. The trailer on the right has humans and the frame even includes tall grass and a tree hanging overhead.
[Some have argued that the trailer in A Bug’s Life should be nothing but dust. I disagree based on how barely intact other buildings were in Wall-E. They also bring up the bug zapper that is powered by electricity. The zapper could easily be solar powered, just like Wall-E. The bugs probably used it as a light source to signal other bugs to “Bug City.” Also, the trailer in A Bug’s Life never shows lights in the trailer like it does for Monsters Inc.]
That said, Monsters Inc. is so far the most futuristic Pixar movie. By the end, humans, animals, and machines have finally found a way to understand each other and live harmoniously.
And then there’s Boo. What do you think happened to her? She saw everything take place in future earth where “kitty” was able to talk. She became obsessed with finding out what happened to her friend Sully and why animals in her time weren’t quite as smart as the ones she’d seen in the future.
She remembers that “doors” are the key to how she found Sully in the first place and becomes…
A WITCH. Yes, Boo is the witch from Brave. She figures out how to travel in time to find Sully, and goes back to what she believes is the source: The will-of-the-wisps.
They are what started everything, and as a witch, she cultivates this magic in an attempt to find Sully by creating doors going backwards and forwards in time.
[Just to clarify: The theory is that Boo discovered a way to use doors to travel through time on her own, possibly by developing magic on her own. She probably went back in time to the Dark Ages to get more magic from the will-o-wisps.]
How do we know? In Brave, you can briefly see a drawing in the workshop. It’s Sully.
We even see the Pizza Planet truck carved as a wooden toy in her shop, which makes no sense unless she’s seen one before…(and I’m sure she has since that truck is in almost every Pixar movie). If you look closely, you can see the carved truck below.
You remember Merida opening doors and the witch constantly disappearing? It’s because those doors are made the same way from Monsters Inc. They transport across time and that is why Merida couldn’t find the witch later in the movie.
[A lot of people have brought up how easter eggs are scattered throughout all the Pixar movies. I barely scratch the surface, but a great theory offered by some that I support is that these easter eggs are planted by Boo either intentionally or accidentally as she travels through time to find Sully. Some support for that is the fact that every easter egg in Brave lies in her workshop.]
But wait. How did Boo travel in time in the first place, and why is she obsessed with wood? Boo must have discovered that wood has been the source of energy all along, not just humans. The machines and monsters in Monsters Inc. use doors because they’re made of wood and found a way to use that energy to travel in time.
[Many have pointed out how the door that banishes monsters is metal. That’s probably because wood is used to harness this magic, and using a metal door would stop a banished monster from going back through it.]
Obsessed with finding Sully, Boo travelled across the Pixar universe using doors.
[It’s even possible that the wood from the tree in A Bug’s Life is the source of Flik’s ingenuity, due to his fascination and respect for seeds growing into trees. The tree also bears a resemblance to the one in Up that Carl and Ellie frequented, which could be the source of Carl’s wild creativity in using balloons to transport his house.]
[This also explains why Flik and Heimlich from A Bug’s Life show up in Toy Story 2, which would be centuries before their time. Boo was trying to go to the future and could have fallen short by landing in the post-Wall-E time. She would need wood to keep time traveling, but there’s not much around yet, so she stumbles upon the tree in A Bug’s Life. She could have accidentally brought back a few bugs with her when traveling backwards in time.]
So Boo went back to the Dark Ages, probably because she could use plenty of wood there for her experiments or to study the will-o-wisps. We know that her first encounter with Mor’du ended with her turning him into a monstrous bear, but he regresses.
She probably wanted to turn him into a bear because Sully resembles a bear, and she is still trying to figure out where Sully comes from.
Does Boo ever find Sully? I like to think so. He surely reunited with her at least once as a child at the end of Monsters Inc., but eventually, he had to stop visiting.
But her love for Sully is, after all, the crux of the entire Pixar universe. The love of different people of different ages and even different species finding ways to live on Earth without destroying it because of a lust for energy.
And that is the Pixar Theory.
For Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur, and Finding Dory, the story continues in Parts 2,3, and 4 respectively, so here are some other helpful links for your reading pleasure:
- The Pixar Theory – What about Planes?
- The Pixar Detective – an expanded universe novel that explains the theory as a full narrative.

The Wartime Civil Control Administration Control Station (WCCA) in Oakland, California was one of approximately 97 short term "civil control stations" set up to implement the mass removal of 110,000 Japanese Americans from the West Coast into temporary detention camps during the Spring and Summer of 1942. These citizens were held at the camps until they were transferred into permanent camps under the War Relocation Authority in the Fall of 1942, because of Executive Order 9066, issued on February 19, 1942.
The Control Center was at 1117 Oak Street in what is now the Alameda County Law Library.

Forex Trading is amongst the most popular investment plans people put their investment money into. Millions of participants worldwide put their money in the foreign exchange market because of its liquidity and popular currency choices. Currency trading can be tricky; even for experienced traders, they still need to keep learning about forex trading. How about when you’re new in forex trading? The best method for new traders is to keep reading forex-related stuff online and learn from their early stages of trading. So, how about let’s start talking about forex and your base currency. This article will explain what base currency is and how important it is that you understand this part of your forex career.
What is Forex and The Forex Market?
Forex is one of the oldest financial markets still in operation. It’s also one of the more secretive. If you want to participate, though, it’s easy to follow. Follow the money, and you’ll discover how vital Forex is to everyone, from small traders to major international institutions. It’s not a complicated concept. Simply put, if you want to buy a currency, it’s usually necessary to have someplace where you can cash out your profits when you’re satisfied with your investment.
Forex markets, also known as financial markets, are where traders buy and sell currencies to profit from changes in exchange rates. Traders can buy or sell currencies using either cash or financial instruments called futures. This can include dollars, pounds, euros, yen, and other currencies. Financial instruments are specifically designed to permit or invest in certain assets or companies without actually owning the actual assets or businesses. This results in a profit or loss depending on how accurately the instruments are managed.
Guess where the base currency, USD/CAD is. A base currency is the first currency used as the main or benchmark unit of value for a particular market. Unlike a quoted currency, which is listed against another currency, the base currency is rarely quoted against another currency in financial markets. For example, USD (United States Dollar) is the base currency for the price of a USD/CAD (Canadian Dollar) foreign exchange contract.
Other examples of base currencies in currency pairs:
Note that currency pairs are written in XXX/YYY. The base currency is written XXX/- while the quote currency (the one you’re trading your base currency against is in YYY). In this case the examples provided above show that the base currency is USD, MXN, and USD; basically the first pair you see is the base currency. Currency pairs are provided by an exchange rate. What is the exchange rate you may ask? The exchange rate is the indication on how much the quote currency you need to buy the base currency. For example, the USD/PHP pair. You want to buy or trade your 1,000 USD to Philippine pesos. Before you can trade your USD, the quoted currency must be equal to your $1000. This means the transaction here is between $1000 to PHP 51,000. This means USD 1000 is equal to PHP 51,000.
In Forex Trading, to be successful, you must be aware of the events of your currency pairs. Why trade it in the first place? In the example above, if you feel like the Philippine peso will increase in value, then buy it in its current state, then sell when the value increases. This is how forex trading works in a nutshell; you buy and sell currencies for profit.

In what may be a major step towards reducing the litany of risks presented in DTC television ads, the FDA released their new study that shows that less risks presented is better for consumer comprehension and retention. While saying further study is needed, FDA cleared the way for perhaps eventually changing its guidance on the number of required risks presented. This study, originally posted for public comment in January 2015, saw the results published August 2017 in an online research journal.
FDA studied alternate risk disclosure in three categories for this study. Insomnia, depression, and high cholesterol were tested with reduced risk disclosure. While full details were not yet published the conclusion is that consumers remembered more when less was presented. We all know the current approach is not optimal because consumers get bombarded with so many risks and side effects, both in voice overs and on screen supers.
So here we are 20 years into DTC on television and we get the widely expected answer from the FDA study. While this study is better late than never the FDA says further research is needed. FDA would be wise to issue a new guidance soon giving drug makers the chance to reduce the number of risks and side effects. Consumers could immediately benefit by retaining more of the important information. I am even supportive of keeping the ads just as long with fewer risks discussed. Supers could kept on the screen longer and a slower voice speed could be used for discussing risks.
FDA has lots on its DTC research agenda, but this area of risk presentation is of major importance. Action should be a priority because consumers are overwhelmed with risk information under current requirements. The goal of all involved in DTC should be helping consumers get comprehensible risk information. The shortened risk requirement would help in achieving that goal.

Now that the mercury is dropping all over the country, many homeowners will be putting down their last application of fertilizer, mowing their lawns one more time and getting ready to rake and blow leaves out of their yards. Of course, when the winter finally sets in, you’ll have to find a place for storing your gardening equipment or other horticultural supplies, most of which won’t see any use until next spring. Additionally, if you live in a colder climate, you’ll need additional space to accommodate snow blowers, shovels and other winter needs.
Instead of cluttering your garage or attic from top to bottom with unused yard equipment all winter long, it may be beneficial to rent a self storage unit for the season. These spaces can be rented on a monthly basis, typically without having to put down a deposit, which will give you plenty of breathing room in your home.
If you’ll be storing lawn mowers or other large pieces of power equipment, be sure to drain any traces of gas from the motors before storing them. When choosing a particular self storage unit for storing your gardening equipment, you probably don’t need to splurge on a climate-controlled unit; instead, opt for a standard outdoor space. As long as you winterize your machines before putting them into storage, they should be ready to go when spring rolls around next year.
Best of all, self storage facilities typically include by a wide range of features, including cameras and electronic gates.
When it comes to storing your gardening equipment or other lawn care tools, don’t let your home be encumbered with stuff you won’t be touching for three months or beyond. Find a convenient self storage location and keep them out of sight (and out of mind) until they’re needed again.

Rats In Your Drains
Rats have some unique ways of entering into a home to find food and shelter. You do not want to hear this, but it is important to know that rats can not only live in drains but also use drains to enter and exit a home or business any time of the day or night. With this in mind, are there any plumbing services or equipment that can tell if drains are infested with rats?
CCTV Drain Surveys for Rats
If you suspect that your drainage system is harboring rats, a CCTV drainage survey is a great way to inspect your drainage system to both discover if rats are present and to find out how they are accessing your drains. This procedure is certain to discover the presence of rats in drains.

If you were looking for proof that road rage doesn’t have to involve drivers or even occur above ground, a story out of the Big Apple has what you crave.
Fox 5 NY has the details of an incident that took place a week ago aboard a crowded Queens subway train on its way to Manhattan. A 45-year-old woman approached another who was seated and asked to move her bag, which occupied the seat next to her. When the strap hanger was ignored, she attempted to move the bag herself and sit down.
That’s when police say the seated women [sic] flew into a rage. They say she scratched the other rider on the chest, pulled her hair and bit her forearm, causing bleeding.
The suspect fled when the train stopped at … [a] station in Long Island City.
The victim was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital in stable condition. The attacker remains at large.
The New York City subway is no stranger to weird people or events. In August 2013, a dead shark was found aboard a train. Nor do all the bizarre goings-on related to the transit system occur below ground. In January of this year, the city’s transit authority, already $34 billion in debt, spent $77 million on a campaign to discourage “manspreading.” If you have to ask what it is, you don’t want to know.

Market and Yelachanahalli. With the mercury rising, passengers have been demanding water facilities at the stations. While certain stations on the Purple Line have drinking water units, none of the underground ones do. BMRCL has called for tenders to supply 22 water coolers and purifiers using the reverse osmosis (RO) technology, to be installed at 11 metro stations across Phase I. These machines will be able to store 80 litres of water and supply 60 litres of cool water an hour. The commissioning will take up to eight weeks from the time we issue the acceptance letter, a senior BMRCL official said. The tentative date for opening the tender documents has been fixed as April 4. In the past, passengers have complained of a lack of drinking water facilities and toilets at metro stations. In fact, this had also led to the state human rights commission directing the company to make provisions. Faced with requests for a reduction in temperature on board during peak hours, the corporation is also considering regulating the temperature at 20C during peak hours.

Energy drinks are supposed to do just what the name implies — give you an extra burst of energy. As it turns out, most of that “energy” comes from two main ingredients: sugar and caffeine. A typical energy drink can contain up to 80 milligrams of caffeine (about the same amount as a cup of coffee). By comparison, a 2006 study found that the average 12-ounce soda contains 18 to 48 mg of caffeine.
Other than caffeine levels, how do energy drinks differ from sodas and sports drinks? Soft drinks are mainly water, sugar and flavouring. They don’t do anything for your body; they’re just supposed to taste good. Sports drinks are designed to replenish fluids lost during activity. They typically contain water, electrolytes and sugar. Energy drinks have added caffeine and other ingredients that their manufacturers say increase stamina and “boost” performance. They’re designed for students, athletes and anyone else who wants an extra energy kick.
Energy drinks became popular in Asia long before they reached the United States. In 1962, Japanese pharmaceutical company, Taisho, released its Lipovitan D drink. It was designed to help employees work hard well into the night. Lipovitan D contains taurine, the same ingredient found in many of today’s energy drinks.
The very first “energy” drink to reach the United States wasn’t really an energy drink at all — it was more of a hyped-up soft drink called Jolt Cola. The “jolt” in the cola was a lot of added sugar and caffeine. Introduced in the 1980s, Jolt Cola quickly became a staple of college campuses.
An Austrian businessman named Dietrich Mateschitz picked up on the cash potential of energy drinks while on a business trip to Asia. Along with two Thai business partners, Mateschitz started the company Red Bull GmbH, with the idea of marketing the drink to young Europeans. Many clubs on the American West Coast caught wind of the Red Bull phenomenon and began importing it to sell as a cocktail mixer.
Red Bull began distributing its drink in the United States in 1997. According to its manufacturer, revenues doubled each year, reaching more than $1 billion in 2000. Although Red Bull has consistently been the leader in the energy drink market, several other companies have launched their own energy drink lines. Many of them are endorsed by celebrities.
Some of the ingredients
…and what they do in the body:
- Ephedrine – A stimulant that works on the central nervous system. It is a common ingredient in weight-loss products and decongestants, but there have been concerns about its effects on the heart.
- Taurine – A natural amino acid produced by the body that helps regulate heart beat and muscle contractions. Many health experts aren’t sure what effect it has as a drink additive (and the rumor that taurine comes from bull testicles is false).
- Ginseng – A root believed by some to have several medicinal properties, including reducing stress and boosting energy levels.
- B Vitamins- A group of vitamins that can convert sugar to energy and improve muscle tone.
- Guarana seed – A stimulant that comes from a small shrub native to Venezuela and Brazil.
- Carnitine – An amino acid that plays a role in fatty acid metabolism.
- Creatine – An organic acid that helps supply energy for muscle contractions.
- Inositol – A member of the vitamin B complex (not a vitamin itself, because the human body can synthesize it) that helps relay messages within cells in the body.
- Ginkgo biloba – Made from the seeds of the ginkgo biloba tree, thought to enhance memory.
Looking at the ingredients, energy drinks appear to be part soft drink and part nutritional supplement. According to reviewers, the taste falls within the same range. People who have tried energy drinks have described the taste as ranging from “medicinal” to “molten Sweet Tart.” Although the manufacturers claim that energy drinks can improve your endurance and performance, many health experts disagree. Any boost you get from drinking them, they say, is solely from the sugar and caffeine.
Caffeine works by blocking the effects of adenosine, a brain chemical involved in sleep. When caffeine blocks adenosine, it causes neurons in the brain to fire. Thinking the body is in an emergency, the pituitary gland initiates the body’s “fight or flight” response by releasing adrenaline. This hormone makes the heart beat faster and the eyes dilate. It also causes the liver to release extra sugar into the bloodstream for energy. Caffeine affects the levels of dopamine, a chemical in the brain’s pleasure center. All of these physical responses make you feel as though you have more energy.
Energy drinks are generally safe, but like most things, you should drink them in moderation. Because caffeine is a stimulant — consuming a lot of it can lead to heart palpitations, anxiety and insomnia — it also can make you feel jittery and irritable. Over time, caffeine can become addictive. It is also a diuretic — it causes the kidneys to remove extra fluid into the urine.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency says it’s still too early to say when SH1 through the Mangamuka Gorge can be opened to traffic.
Most of the road has been cleared to at least one lane, but there’s still no way past the biggest slip on the northern side of the gorge. The hillside under the road fell away during heavy rain nearly two weeks ago, leaving metres of road surface suspended in the air.
Waka Kotahi Northland System Manager Jacqui Hori-Hoult says safety is a priority as her team assess the slip and the repair job needed to reopen the road.
“Six to seven thousand cubic metres of material have fallen from under the road to the river below. What’s left is brittle and unstable and our concern is that more heavy rain could bring down more of the hillside.”
“A further complication is that there’s an historic slip directly above the road and we have to be very careful about disturbing the slope. We need to further investigate the slope to develop our longer-term road repair options.”
“The good news is that there’s been only light rain since the slip and the forecast is for a few showers over the weekend and better weather next week. Our geotech experts are working to understand the soil conditions and locate stable bedrock before deciding on the safest and most effective solution for restoring the road.”
“Our plan is to work in stages to open the road initially to a single lane so that light vehicles can get past. Weather permitting, that may take six weeks.”
Elsewhere in the gorge, other slips have been cleared and with safety barriers and other precautions in place, the road is ready for light vehicles.
“Waka Kotahi acknowledges the inconvenience and cost to local communities either side of the gorge of having to use the longer SH10 detour. We’re working to reopen the road safely and as quickly as we can.”
On average, about 1300 vehicles a day travel on SH1 through the Mangamuka Gorge. It will be some time before trucks and buses can travel the road.
For now, SH1 through the Mangamuka Gorge is closed between Victoria Valley Road and Mākene Road. SH10 is the detour with motorists advised to allow an extra 20-30 minutes for their journey.
Plan ahead for a safe, enjoyable journey. Keep up to date with:

AutoCAD Crack+ Free Download (Latest)
The business world is full of specialized software applications that solve specialized problems. Each of these tools have been written from scratch by a single developer. While they do a great job, and they have saved many businesses money, there’s a better way. By working together, the best software can be built by combining the functionality of different tools. This is what we call toolkits.
AutoCAD is like a toolkit for designers, architects and engineers. As a toolkit, AutoCAD is composed of four distinct product areas. These product areas are:
AutoCAD, the primary drawing application;
AutoCAD Architecture, which supports the design of buildings;
AutoCAD Mechanical, which supports the design of mechanical engineering components; and
AutoCAD Electrical, which supports the design of electrical components.
Let’s dive into each of these product areas and examine some typical use cases for each.
AutoCAD is the primary drawing application. It provides the best user experience and the greatest functionality, but it is also the most expensive of the AutoCAD product areas.
To support the needs of AutoCAD, the company provides an extensive set of drawing features, including point, line, arc, circle, ellipse, rectangle, spline, polyline, 3D text, and shaded polygon.
These features work together to let you quickly construct 2D and 3D objects. Additionally, AutoCAD can help you communicate your ideas to clients and collaborators by presenting page layout options.
2D objects can be represented with paths, lines, circles and arcs, and these may be layered on top of one another for sophisticated drawing effects.
3D objects can be constructed using lines, faces, edges and vertices.
Alignments make it easy to visualize and create the relationships between 2D objects and 3D objects.
Both AutoCAD and AutoCAD Architecture provide several features that support the design of buildings.
You can divide elements of the drawing model (such as walls, doors, and windows) into components.
You can add or change properties of components, such as the appearance or value of the wall color.
You can edit and place components, and you can also create special-purpose components, such as rotating systems.
You can align and orient components within the drawing model.

On the other hand, says Fine, a man named Leon Chira, who runs the Jewish Museum and Archives of Latvia, who witnessed the death of thousands of Jews during the war, was treated with hostility by some residents of the country’s second-largest city, Riga. And with regard to Latvia’s general and often brutal treatment of its minorities, Fine says, “They are repressing everyone who isn’t Latvian, but I don’t think they are aware of the fact that they are doing it.”
Still, he notes that “Latvia, with its abundant reserves of hydrocarbons, has the potential to be a model of a harmonious coexistence of various religions, ethnicities and languages. But the people who live there don’t have the capacity to realize it. I just don’t see them having the will to make it happen.”

Python: how to install F-Strings module to work with unicode strings
I have the following code:
fstrings.string_fields(u.unicode(‘Hello World’), tags=[‘_’, ‘_’], record=True)
I’d expect something like:
But I get:
Why is that so?
string_fields() returns a sequence of strings; it does not encode them. You can get the list of strings from the strings argument, convert them to unicode and print them:
>>> from fstrings import string_fields
>>> u = u»Hello World»
>>> [c for c in u.encode(‘utf-8’) if isinstance(c, str)]
[‘H’, ‘e’, ‘l’, ‘l’, ‘o’,», ‘W’, ‘o’, ‘r’, ‘l’, ‘d’]
>>> u = u»你好»
>>> [c for c in u.encode(‘utf-8’) if isinstance(c, str)]
[‘\xe8\xaf\xb3’, ‘\xe6\xb0\x81’, ‘\xe6\xb0\x83’, ‘\xe5\xb8\x81’,», ‘\xe6\xb0\x83’, ‘\xe8\xaf\xb3’]
If you need to make sure that the fields are indeed unicode strings, you can convert them to bytes using str.encode(‘ascii’) first

Taking a Different Path to the American Dream
Jean Paul Mugisha embodies the American dream. By studying and working hard, he has made a better life for himself and his family. What makes Jean Paul’s dream unique is he’s spent most of his life in a refugee camp.
Born in the Congo, Jean Paul’s family fled violence when he was three. They ended up in a refugee camp in Rwanda where he, his parents and seven siblings lived for 17 years. “Normal” life was eating one meal a day, walking up to two miles for water, and growing up without electricity.
With little to do, Jean Paul focused on school. He finished the camp’s formal education in the ninth grade. It looked like his education would stop there, because high school cost money, and his family survived on 24 cents a day. But “luck” intervened, as the woman who ran the camp’s school paid for Jean Paul to attend a boarding high school outside the camp. His life changed
“That’s when I realized I wasn’t like any of the other kids,” Jean Paul said. “Being a refugee was something negative. It meant you were weak and couldn’t do anything for yourself. You didn’t have any rights.”
Jean Paul hid the fact he was a refugee from his classmates. He started eating three meals a day. He studied hard and ended up as the top student in his class and the number two student in Rwanda. The top 50 students in the country were sent abroad for higher education.
“When the time came, my hopes were crushed,” he said. “There was no scholarship for college because I was a refugee.”
After a year of teaching at the camp, Jean Paul earned a scholarship from a nonprofit to attend college in Rwanda. Eight months into courses, his family learned they were moving to the United States. Our Refugee Resettlement team helped his family make Portland their home.
Jean Paul was the only family member proficient in English. At 20, he had to lead, navigate and negotiate for his family. He enrolled in Portland Community College. When school and family commitments conflicted, he called our Case Manager Aline Ndemeye, who helped the family navigate services.
“It was the best transition working with Lutheran Community Services,” Jean Paul said. “I thought it would be a lot more difficult.”
Jean Paul’s studies paid off. He was working at an internship with businessman and community leader Ryan Hoppes. In turn, Ryan introduced Jean Paul to the President of the University of Portland, who offered him a full-ride scholarship. He earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.
Today, Jean Paul is a test development hardware engineer at Intel. He sees himself as a leader in his family and his community. His family is thriving. He wants to continue his education and move up at Intel. But, he remembers what it’s like to eat one meal a day.
“I appreciate what Lutheran Community Services has done for us,” he said. “They have created many connections for us with different people, and they are still helping our community.”

A massive study spanning nearly 40 years may change everything we think we know about what defines a healthy body weight.
First invented by Adolphe Quetelet in the mid 1800s, the Body Mass Index (or BMI) identifies four basic weight categories; underweight, normal/healthy weight, overweight and obese. Individuals are placed into one of these categories based on a number determined by dividing one’s weight (kg) by one’s height (m) squared. The table below shows how the categories are identified:
|18.5 – 24.9||Normal or Healthy Weight|
|25.0 – 29.9||Overweight|
|30.0 and Above||Obese|
Since the 1990s the BMI has been one of the most popular tools for measuring and determining the health of individuals and large populations. In fact it has become the standard measurement for body weight used by clinicians, researchers, governments and the general public all over the world. New research by Copenhagen University Hospital, however, may challenge our reliance upon this tool.
The study, led by Børge Nordestgaard, assessed the mortality rate of over 100,000 people split over 3 cohorts; 1976-1978, 1991-1994 and 2003-2013. Deaths within all three cohorts were recorded alongside BMI and the two data sets were compared. What the results found may be a game-changer for individual and public healthcare strategies.
Nordestgaard discovered that, across all cohorts and excluding individuals who died of cancer, the BMI category associated with the fewest deaths was the overweight category. What’s more, the specific BMI associated with the lowest mortality rate has been steadily increasing, from 23.7 to 24.6 to 27. A similar pattern was identified for deaths caused specifically by cardiovascular disease, the biggest killer in the world and one of the most common diseases caused by excess body fat. What we thought was healthy was completely wrong.
100,000 people is a huge sample size, no matter who you ask. With all research, however, we need to look a bit deeper. The vast majority of participants were white Danes, meaning that this data probably can’t be extrapolated to other ethnic groups. Furthermore, we must consider how advances in medicines may have influenced the results. As the years have progressed, our ability to treat conditions such as cardiovascular disease has increased immensely; maybe, thanks to medical advances, people are alive today from the 2003 cohort who would have died if they were part of the 1976 cohort.
We cannot say for sure, but what we do know is is that overweight individuals are more likely to survive than ‘healthy’ people. It is unlikely that this is the case due to treatment for CVD, Type 2 Diabetes or other conditions associated with ‘excessive weight’.
Before we go any further we must say that this research does not vindicate a life of fridge-picking and lazy evenings in front of the TV. It does, however, suggest that how we define and measure a healthy body needs a drastic rethink.
Despite its use in so many circles, the BMI has actually been under scrutiny for a long time. For a start, it cannot distinguish between muscle and fat; according to the BMI a 20 stone professional rugby player would be overweight if not obese, as would a pregnant woman. The categorical nature of measurements is also difficult to swallow – there is no scientific reason why a BMI of 24.99 is normal but a BMI of 25.00 is overweight. Furthermore, the categories are very unreliable across different ethnic groups.
In fact, aside from it’s simplicity and lack of expense, there are no compelling reasons as to why the BMI should be used as a global measure of health, and yet it is. No matter one’s personal circumstances, ethnic background or body composition, you can be in no doubt that a doctor assessing your body weight will use the BMI.
The research by Nordestgaard et al may be both a blessing and a curse. Years of trying to shed those last few pounds that just won’t budge could be at an end, but realising that we’ve been measuring weight incorrectly for decades puts us in a kind of limbo. We have our cake, but are we allowed to eat it?
With a world becoming more and more interested in the individual, this may be the perfect opportunity to develop a measuring tool which looks at data from YOU, rather than an entire populace, to determine whether you are healthy. Plenty of businesses are already using an individualised approach to improve your life (and theirs as well) – what to advertise to you, what to sell in your local shop, what news stories to show you and what you’re likely to complain about. Why not use the same approach with our health?
The mechanism by which this tailored approach may be achieved is up for debate, but with giant companies like Google creating healthcare products using personal data, there may be a number of options at our disposal.
For the time being the old standby “mind what you eat and get plenty of exercise” is still as effective as ever.

Hydra is an application framework that allows developers to create modular applications that can mix managed (.NET and Java) and unmanaged (Delphi and Island) code in the same project, creating a seamless user experience while combining the best technologies available from either platform.
These are the two most common use cases for Hydra:
But Hydra also handles many additional scenarios, as well:
As a Delphi developer, chances are you have a long-standing code base for an application (or many) written in Delphi, possibly with many million lines of code and many developers-years invested into a strong and well-working codebase.
But now the challenge comes: you would like to start using some new non-Delphi technologies for your project, maybe to take advantage of a cool library available on .NET or .NET Core. Or maybe you have to reuse some legacy Java/JVM code created by a different department and make it work with your application.
Hydra has you covered for all of these and similar scenarios.
You can implement your new feature in .NET (or Java) and then wrap up this code in a Hydra plugin, with a clear, interface-based API for accessing its functionality. And with the simple addition of a Hydra ModuleManager (and an empty panel if you want to merge visual UI), this code can now be hosted to extend your Delphi application.
Sometimes, you might run into the exact opposite scenario. You are starting a fresh new project using .NET, but you have perfectly good and well-tested Delphi code that you want to reuse without having to rewrite (or port to Oxygene, which is, of course, another option).
This could be GUI code using VCL or FireMonkey, or just some business logic, data processing, or other algorithms that can't easily be replicated fresh.
Simply wrap your Delphi code into one or more plugins and optionally define an interface to communicate with it. Those plugins can now easily be loaded into your .NET-based host application and used seamlessly as part of your app.
By default, code compiled between different Delphi versions is not compatible, meaning that your entire project and all its dependencies need to be built with the same version of Delphi.
This makes it difficult if you want to move to a newer version of Delphi for parts of your app but maybe have code that does not easily migrate. Or maybe you want to stay on an older version of Delphi for your codebase but leverage a newer Delphi feature in one area.
With Hydra, you can use different versions of Delphi to build your host app, and your various plugins, and have them interact seamlessly.
In addition, Hydra also makes it possible to mix VCL and FireMonkey GUI in the same application and even in the same form – something that is not possible with Delphi out of the box.
Many businesses have legacy code written for the Java platform or rely on third-party services implemented in Java.
With Hydra, you can integrate this legacy Java code directly and seamlessly into your main application. This includes calling out to Java-based business logic and even embedding Swing-based GUI in the user interface of your app.
Java plugins are supported in both Delphi and .NET host applications.
Our own Elements compiler toolchain allows for the compilation of native Windows code, much on the same level as Delphi and C++Builder do. But Elements gives you the choice of a wider range of languages, including Oxygene, C#, Swift, the Java language, Go, and the Visual Basic.NET-compatible Mercury.
Just like with the other plugin types, Hydra allows you to embed and use native Windows code written with Elements within your Delphi and .NET host application, opening a whole range of new native programming languages to expand your app.

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED TAX EVALUATION SYSTEM FOR CIVIL SERVANTS
(A CASE STUDY OF BOARD OF INTERNAL REVENUE)
It is often easy to collect data about objectives of persons. However subsequent processing of such data presents problems especially when it involves numerous computations and retrieval of information.
In the manual processing of large volumes of data too many mistakes can be made and much time wasted because of the ardors and cumbersome nature of associated tasks.
This project is aimed at the design and implementation of tax evaluation system, for civil servant which will store all relevant information of a client, automatically processing the information of a scored generated document which the free pay allowance and tax due for the client, retrieve and display relevant information with regard to the client’s tax evaluation.
The system has been designed to cater for the tax evaluation of employees in the Nigeria Civil Service, but it can be expanded to take care of other kinds of employment with very little modification.

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In the past, people have become used to machine built to perform a specific purpose, for instance, the typewriter can produce neat work, a musical instrument can produce a certain type of sound e.t.c. However computer does all these things, often more efficiently than the specific purpose machine mentioned above, hence we say that computer is a general purpose machine.
Computer is probably best introduced on the basis of its purpose, which is data processing. Processing of data into information. Data is known as the raw materials on which a computer operates. There are facts recorded about people’s daily activities such as in business, science, education, government and other forms of organized human activities or endeavours. When some appropriate structures have been applied to data it becomes information.
The use of computer in the area of tax evaluation recently has been seriously emphasized to the extent that both civil servants and the tax evaluators find way of using computer to solve most of taxation problems. Therefore this project tends to, design and implement a tax evaluation system for civil servants. It helps in eradicating the problems encountered in tax evaluation of civil servants by the Board of Internal Revenue Enugu, such as lack of uniformity of database, lack of up-to-date records of workers’ tax payment in the board, delay in supplying of information about worker’s, inconsistency of data items and time wasting.
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The major difficulties faced by evaluation department in the Board of Internal Revenue Enugu, are lack of uniformity of civil servants’ data-base in the board, lack of up-to-date record of civil servants, delay in supply of information management and information sharing, inconsistency of data items and time consuming in tax evaluation system in Enugu.
1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The purposes of this study are:
(i) To eradicate or minimize the problems encountered
(ii) To computerize the manual method of processing
(iii) To aid for easy processing of civil servants file with high level accuracy.
(iv) To reduce errors in processing of the workers file.
(v) To reduce the very large volumes of paper work.
1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Computer has gained an available position in many spheres of human endeavours and every sector not yet touched by this vogue is struggling to catch up with the evolution.
The introduction of computerized tax evaluation system for civil servants in Enugu is thus justified by three major benefits namely:
(i) It will eliminate all kinds of errors encountered in processing workers (civil servants) file.
(ii) The staff in evaluation department will have more time for other tax assessment work in the department.
(iii) There will be more confidence in computer generated result than that compiled by the staff which are more often suspicions as human being are prone to error and bias,
1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The study of tax evaluation system for civil servants is quite an elaborate undertaking. Owing to certain factor that militates against a wholesome precaution of such an elaborate study, the researcher limits this study to the evaluation or assessment department in Board of Internal Revenue Enugu.
It is assumed that the information giving by the staffs in the evaluation department in Board of Internal Revenue Enugu are true and it will help us in achieving our purpose of this research.

German Classes Study MLK’s Visit to a Divided Berlin
February 20, 2019 — The Georgetown College Department of German is participating in Georgetown’s MLK Initiative with a department-wide celebration of an often-overlooked trip Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. took to Berlin on September 13, 1964.
MLK IN BERLIN
Already an internationally famous figure by 1964, King visited West Berlin on the invite of Social Democratic leader Willy Brandt, appearing at a memorial service for John F. Kennedy and at a rally before a crowd of 20,000. He spoke out against the newly constructed Berlin Wall, calling it “a symbol of the divisions of mankind on the face of the Earth.”
The same day King visited, a man named Michael Meyer attempted an unauthorized escape from East Germany. He made it to the Western side of the city but was shot by East German guards, suffering serious injury but surviving. After his speech, King requested to visit the spot where Meyer was shot.
King also received an invitation from East German pastor Heinrich Grüber to deliver an address at a church in East Berlin. His State Department detail, concerned that a trip to Soviet territory would spark an international incident, withheld his passport. King crossed anyway, with border agents accepting an American Express card as identification.
In East Berlin for just a few hours that night, King gave the same speech in two separate venues, as church organizers were concerned about the possibility of a state crackdown if one event drew too big a crowd.
“We are all God’s children, and no manmade barrier can obliterate that fact,” King said.
Each German class that meets this week is spending a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes discussing King’s visit. Professors have access to a presentation featuring details from King’s speeches, as well as a trove of additional articles and multimedia materials prepared by Professor Astrid Weigert and Ph.D. candidate Andrea Bryant.
Bryant, whose research focuses on diverse perspectives in German studies pedagogy, enjoyed bringing a rich variety of materials on King’s visit to Georgetown.
“You could probably do an entire semester on this visit,” Bryant said. “There’s art and literature on this in German, it’s been performed on stage.”
“Everyone teaches about the Berlin Wall. This isn’t in it.” Weigert said.
Professors will use their own discretion on which materials to utilize based on the level of course they’re teaching, and the presentations all offer additional resources for students looking to learn more. Bryant expects it to be a valuable learning opportunity for students at all levels, especially given that the visit has received little attention in German studies circles before this year.
“We have some documents in English and some in German, so depending on the level and instructor, there are options on how to teach it,” Weigert said. “But the main thing is that there’s a commitment from the entire department. This is our contribution.”
A UNIQUE CONTRIBUTION
Weigert is excited that the Department of German has found a unique angle to participate in Georgetown’s MLK Initiative, a cross-campus celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
“Somewhere in the back of my mind, I remembered reading somewhere that Dr. King had spent time in Germany,” Weigert said. “I looked it up, and it turned out he had indeed been in both East and West Berlin— shortly after the wall had been built. So I thought maybe we could do a “teach-in” about this visit. This first time around, it’s a a bit of an experiment, but we plan to refine the presentation and ideally repeat this project every February.”
Events thus far have included a nonviolent resistance campaign workshop, a screening of the film “Rebirth of a Nation,” and the annual Let Freedom Ring concert at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
In addition to the German teach-in, the remainder of February will feature a performance based event sponsored by the Center for Social Justice, as well as panel discussions on health in the Black community, race and higher education, and the changing nature of Black D.C.

Dear time (Drop Everything and Read) - Reading for pleasure
Reading for Pleasure is surely the entitlement of every child. There is strong evidence linking reading for pleasure and educational outcomes. We know that academic attainment is of vital importance, but the benefits of reading for pleasure go beyond this and stretch throughout a person's life. Reading for pleasure has many non-literacy benefits and can increase empathy, improve relationships with others, reduce the symptoms of depression and improve wellbeing throughout life (The Reading Agency 2015).
Fiction can take you to countries you may never visit, or live someone else’s life. You can go back in history or be taken to a future world.
At Ashton we work hard foster a love of reading.
Every day, students at Ashton partake in DEAR time (Drop Everything and Read) time is set aside for students to read a book of their choice from the Accelerated Reader Programme for 15 minutes. Students in key stage 3 also have an accelerated reader lesson once a week.
To find out more about Accelerated Reader click here.
Accelerated Reader is proving to be a huge success at Ashton!
In year 7, 78% of pupils have made accelerated progress since September. There are so many individual success stories it is hard to mention them all. We have students who have read books that challenge them academically and students who didn’t enjoy reading but now love nothing more than being immersed in a story. The students above however, deserve a special mention as they are the top 7 in the year for progress.

In this study, ferrihydrite/ultrasound (US) system was used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to treat humic acid (HA) in artificial aqueous. The physical and chemical properties of ferrihydrite were characterized using SEM, zeta potential, BET, XRD, FTIR, and XPS analysis. A series of experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of various factor on HA removal, including dosage of ferrihydrite, PMS concentration and pH value. The combination uses of US and ferrihydrite had obvious synergistic effect for HA removal. Under ferrihydrite/US/PMS system, nonthermal effect of US played the main role for HA removal. According to the result of radical quenching experiment, 1O2 was identified as the main reactive oxidative species (ROS) which contributed to HA removal. The study indicates ferrihydrite/US/PMS system is promising strategy for treatment of natural organic pollutant.

Guide to Selecting The Best Candle Wick
The process of selecting the proper wick for candle making is vital. Through this review, you’ll learn the best wicks for candle making. Remember, if you pick the wrong wick, then your candle remains as a piece of wax.
Usually, a wick burns as the wax melts, producing light in the process. If you have a lousy wick, it may produce visibly irritating black soot. If the candle is burning within a glass casing, the black soot may shatter the glass.
In addition to that, the ugly candle flame might be responsible for limiting the scents and fragrances included in the candle. The following sections will review some of the best wicks and see what makes them tick. Also, we’ll highlight the factors to consider when choosing the best wicks for candle making.
You’ll notice that several factors determine the best candlewick. However, size takes the first place. The size affects the scent essence and burning time. To explain this point further, let’s examine an under-wicked and over-wicked candle.
An under-wicked candle means that the wick is smaller than the candle. As such, it does not burn out to the edges. Instead, the fire is extinguished because the wax burns out. On the other hand, over-wicked candle flames flicker a lot and grow taller than necessary.
The following are factors that determine the size of a candle wick:
- Environmental design
- Candle variety
- Essential oil used
- Wax variety
- Fuel melt point
- Candle size and the physical shape
- Colorant variety
- Colorant percentage
Now let’s look at the various type of wicks in the market.
You can find them in use widely in pillars, votives, and gel candles. Usually, these wicks have a zinc core that keeps them upright when you lit the candle or during the hot waxing process. Initially, manufacturers used a lead body but later discontinued it.
The zinc core wicks are cut to the desired length, primed with a contemporary wax (180 Fahrenheit), and crimped with a 20mm by 10 mm tab.
|Size||Ideal Usa (Diameter)|
|44-24-18||Pillars, Small Containers and Votives ( 2.0″ – 2.5″ )|
|51-32-18||Medium Containers and Pillars ( 3.0″ – 3.5″ )|
|60-44-18||Large Containers and Pillars ( 3.5″ – 4.0″ )|
Note: The above recommendations are derived from the wick used in paraffin wax. It would help if you estimated the wick one and two sizes to get the right melt pool.
This variety of wicks burn hot and emit a large melt pool. They follow the same procedure, just like the zinc core wicks.
Paper core wicks are based on large containers only. What is the recommended size for paper core wicks?
|Size||Ideal application (Diameter)|
|60-44-18||Large Containers ( 4.0″ – 4.5″ )|
You’ll see these wicks in use among experienced candlemakers. They are flat braided and have a distinct filament woven around them.
This design is meant to ensure optimum burn and ensure the flame has a wick trimming posture.
|Size||Ideal application (Diameter)|
|CD-4||Small Containers and Votives ( 1.25″ – 1.75″ )|
|CD-5||Small Containers and Votives ( 1.75″ – 2.0″ )|
|CD-6||Votives, Small Containers and Pillars ( 2.0″ – 2.25″ )|
|CD-7||Small Containers and Pillars ( 2.25″ – 2.5″ )|
|CD-8||Medium Containers and Pillars ( 2.5″ – 3.0″ )|
|CD-10||Medium Containers and Pillars ( 3.0″ – 3.25″ )|
|CD-12||Medium Containers and Pillars ( 3.25″ – 3.5″ )|
|CD-14||Large Containers and Pillars ( 3.5″ – 3.75″ )|
|CD-16||Large Containers and Pillars ( 3.75″ – 4.0″ )|
|CD-18||Large Containers and Pillars ( 4.0″ – 4.25″ )|
|CD-20||Large Containers and Pillars ( 4.25″ – 4.5″ )|
|CD-22||Large Containers and Pillars ( 4.5″ – 4.75″ )|
These wicks are created for natural waxes. The cotton wicks are made without cores but have paper filaments interwoven for stability.
These types of wicks are made from cotton material and are coreless.
|Size||Recommended Application (Diameter)|
|HTTP-41||Votives, Small Containers and Pillars ( 2.0″ – 2.25″ )|
|HTP-52||Small Containers and Pillars ( 2.25″ – 2.5″ )|
|HTP-62||Medium Containers and Pillars ( 2.5″ – 2.75″|
|HTP-73||Medium Containers and Pillars ( 2.75″ – 3.0″ )|
|HTP-83||Medium Containers and Pillars ( 3.0″ – 3.5″ )|

|HTP-105||Large Containers and Pillars ( 4.0″ – 4.5″ )|
|HTP-1212||Large Containers and Pillars ( 4.5″ – 5.0″ )|
Choosing the proper candlewick is both a science and art. The scientific part has to be specific about the measurements to ensure a suitable final product. Art is the entire process of adding waxes and fragrances to create a meaningful effect.
Ensure you get the suitable sizes among the small, medium, and large sizes available. We’ve highlighted some of the best candle wicks for candle making so you can pick the best. As the industry blossoms, so does the technology. It’s more straightforward now, and companies have simplified the candle-making process.
You have to pick the proper candlewick and ensure it fits well with the wax type. Most importantly, the size of the candle matters. If it is possible, choose a wick that will fit a large candle without using two wicks. YoungRich 100 Pieces is the winner in this list as it is suitable for DIY projects.
Eric Light 100 comes second as they are long, measuring 12 inches hence suitable for large candles. It’s followed closely by Erick Light 8 Inch.
You do not want an under-wicked or over-wicked candle. In the real sense, size does matter as far as choosing a wick is concerned.
