The Model D-4B 4-Channel, 4-Button Handheld Transmitter is a four-channel transmitter that can initiate four separate functions. It is used in many remote switching applications where a portable four-channel transmitter is required. The first two digits of the digital code sent will be off or on depending on which transmitter button is pressed. Each transmission causes the red LED indicator on the front of the transmitter to light, showing that the transmitter is sending a signal and that the battery is in good condition.

Science and Technology Daily News (reporter Wu Jiashen): Recently, the reporter learned from the Chinese Academy of Sciences that the ultra-sensitive magnetic resonance study group leaded by professor Xin Zhou from Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences successfully developed China's first near-room temperature (40 degrees C) ultra-low-field NMR resonance spectrometer. The device not only can be used to study the molecular structure of the material information and dynamics in the earth's magnetic field and other natural conditions, but also to directly detect the ferromagnetic materials such as iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles samples which high-field NMR spectrometer can't. It is expected to play an important role in the fields of biology, medicine, etc. Traditional NMR technology uses radio frequency induction coil to detect the magnetic resonance signal. In order to get higher signal sensitivity, almost commercial superconducting NMR spectrometer focuses on high magnetic field. However, the high magnetic field can't be used for the people with in vivo devices, such as pacemakers. Usually, the real environment of chemical sample and biological tissue is the magnetic field or less. The traditional NMR technology is difficult to obtain a usable magnetic resonance signal in this environment. Dr. Guobin Liu of the group used high sensitive atomic magnetometer, which can use optical technology to detect NMR signal under very weak magnetic field, instead of traditional RF coil. Atomic magnetometers can work at the magnetic field without sacrificing sensitivity, and does not require cryogenic technology and high cost for running a superconducting high magnetic field. With this ultra-low-field nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy based on the atomic magnetometers, the researchers detected the NMR signal (2Hz) of water at the magnetic field (47nT) which is 1,000 times weaker than the earth magnetic field. The field and resonance frequency lower 250 million times than the current mainstream commercial magnetic resonance spectroscopy instrument (such as a 500M Hz, 11.7T). In addition, the ultra-low-field NMR spectrometer can detect the relaxation rate of the contrast agent to enhance the water quality of the child, and achieve high accuracy. Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences has long-term research experience of developing magnetic resonance instrument technology. It has successfully developed with 300-500MHz high magnetic field NMR spectrometer independent intellectual property rights, ant it is ongoing industrialization. The success of ultra-low field NMR spectrometer fills the blank of our own research and development in ultra-low-field spectrometer. Relevant results of instrument development published in the recent issue of "Journal of Magnetic Resonance." The study was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation and the 100-Talent program of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

My 2010 Toyota Yaris has fantastic fuel mileage. I get 25 to 28 miles per gallon on the highway, and I get closer to 30 for in-town driving. The ride is smooth and quiet. I have not had to replace any major component of the vehicle. Maintenance for the Yaris has consisted of replacing windshield wipers and regular oil changes. I only have two criticisms of the car. The first criticism concerns the speed of the windshield wipers. The control does not have adequate intermediate speed controls. It either runs very slow or very fast. I have difficulties choosing the right speed during a rainstorm. Secondly, the seal around the hatchback has begun to separate from the body of the car. I loved being able to take my son and his stroller in the Yaris to parks and other attractions. Before his sister was born, I could easily travel to the Henry Ford Museum and the Greenfield Village with him in tow. We would spend the morning and afternoon looking at the trains inside the museum and riding the train outside around the Greenfield Village. The fuel efficiency and the size of the car are my favorite features. I have saved money because of its relatively low fuel use. Also, I find the car is easy to drive because of its small size and compact nature. As a young mother, I have been able to put not only my son and his car seat into the Yaris, but I have also been able to pack a jogging stroller into the hatch (trunk). The size can also be a negative aspect of the car if you have two adults and two children in the car. If the Yaris carries my husband, my three-year-old son, my four-month-old daughter, and myself, we feel like sardines in a can. We can still transport some groceries as well, but the ride is a little cramped. 2007 Toyota Yaris - The Yaris is too small but great on gas. The Toyota Yaris is very good on gas. It doesn't take much to fill up the tank, and a full tank goes a long way. I have had the car for four years and the maintenance cost has been very low. I did not like the size of the car. It was very uncomfortable on long trips. Passengers are elbow to elbow, and if you are taller than 5'10" this isn't the car for you. The look of the car was O.K., But it sort of looked like a roller skate, or an egg. It looks better in black. The acceleration was fine for a car that size, and it handled well. I did not feel very safe, mostly due to the size, but also in part due to the cheap quality of the doors and hood. There's also the downside of having to go to a Toyota dealer to replace the rear windshield wiper. I haven't found an auto parts store or oil change place that carries that size windshield wiper. My friends joke about calling my vehicle a dinosaur egg due to it looking like a very large, grey egg. Whenever any of them are in the car with me and we pass by a large truck, like a Hummer, they joke about my car evolving into that one day like a Pokemon. The most positive thing about the Yaris is the gas mileage. It was very efficient and I didn't have to worry about the price at the pump as much. The sound system was also pretty good and didn't rattle the vehicle. The size makes it very uncomfortable for long rides. The speedometer is in the middle of the dash, making it so the driver has to look towards the middle of the windshield to check the speed.

Welcome to the 7th instalment of The Painting Solution! With the team currently on their way to start work on a new project, it gives us the opportune time to write about the use of a cherry picker or scaffolding on site. Since the building we will be painting measures up to 13.5 metres in parts, scaffolding or the use of a cherry picker/boom is the only way to paint at that height in a safe, efficient manner. Today’s post is all about the cherry picker and it’s many uses and advantages to the painter. One of the main problems with most forms of high access is that they only allow you to access a small area at a time. Take an extension ladder as the example – these only give you access to anything that’s within arm’s length of where you place the ladder. That means that if you’re carrying out work over a large area you will constantly have to descend and move it into a suitable position. This is a huge waste of your time. The alternative is scaffolding or a scaffold tower which can provide access to a larger area, but has the downside of requiring lengthy setup times. A cherry picker is a much faster and more adaptable way to get access to high areas. As the arm is mobile, workers can be moved into position, allowing them to carry out tasks quickly and efficiently. This means that using a cherry picker not only reduces the amount of time you need to spend setting up the equipment, it also ensures that people can spend as little time working at height as possible. Cherry pickers can be used for a huge variety of tasks – you would be surprised at the range of possibilities. They were originally designed for use picking fruit in orchards (hence the name) but over the years these machines have been adapted so that they are perfect for a wide array of uses, mostly on construction sites and in building repair. Commonly cherry pickers are used for painting and other forms of building maintenance where workers need to get up to difficult to reach spots. They also have clear advantage in terms of cleaning, especially cleaning the windows of high buildings which could be very challenging for other high access equipment. Whether you’re carrying out basic home maintenance on a residential property or dealing with delicate work on a Grade One listed building you need to have the right equipment for the job. Thankfully, there are many different cherry picker models available that give you the ability to get to the right height or reach the location properly. When other access equipment can do the job, cherry pickers are often able to reach high and put you in the right place. Of course cherry pickers have the additional advantage that they don’t have to go to their full height, so you can use them for a broader range of tasks than some other forms of equipment. For example, scaffolding that has to be assembled to a certain height does not allow for the versatility for many tasks. It’s not just the height that cherry pickers can offer you. One of the major reasons that cherry pickers have become so popular is that they can be used in awkward spaces that many other forms of high access equipment simply aren’t suitable for. Cherry pickers can reach into narrow spaces and allow you to get work done quickly. One of the inevitable challenges of working at height are the safety issues. Using a cherry picker is a very safe way to get up high as long as they are used correctly. This is because you are surrounded by a cage which makes it very difficult for you to fall. Equally, as you are able to stand in a comfortable position you are able to work without tiring as you might do on a ladder. When you are working at height, safety needs to be your number one priority and working with a cherry picker allows you to avoid many of the dangers.

At first glance, the photos below may look dry. But the water table is close to the surface. Two photos taken in late April: On the left at Mullet Slough looking east and on the right is not too far from Oasis looking north. Can you see the dark brown rim of water around the cypress dome (left). And of course the center of both domes are filled with water, too.

Crowning its own distinct foothill in the heart of the community is The Hilltop, one of the largest homesites in this initial release. A striking canopy of coast live oaks and pines set the stage for your arrival as you journey to the top of the hill, where a gently sloped and remarkably large building envelope awaits an exceptional residence to grace the land. Rolling hill views of Teháma and the Clubhouse to the north and surrounding forested hillsides and mountain vistas accent the expansive property, which is inundated with sunlight throughout the day by virtue of its setting atop its own peak. Maintaining a subtle sense of seclusion amid a forest of trees that descend the canyons in every direction, The Hilltop evokes an atmosphere of both prestige and intimacy on a homesite that serves as a bona fide Teháma centerpiece.

I loved your analogy of creating thumbnails for art being similar to blueprints for a builder. When an artist creates their works, it is important to have the whole image in mind. Otherwise, the format and perspective of the painting could become skewed.

Do you like trying new types of gardening methods to see how they work? Some people like to grow a variety of crops in containers or on a mound. An ingenious way to grow plants that you may want to try is straw bale gardening. A couple of bales of straw are all you really need to get started with straw bale gardening. The best part is the bales of straw will become a raised garden bed in your backyard. There are many good reasons why you may want to try doing this on your homestead. You do not need to till any land or prepare soil. The interior of your straw bales will break down just like compost over time. This means that you have a terrific way to use straw bale gardening to grow all types of plants. Just make sure to water regularly and wait for a bumper crop to develop.

Proposed pathways for movement of magnesium (Mg) across the intestinal epithelium. Two possible routes exist for the absorption of Mg across intestinal epithelial cells: the transcel-lular route and the intercellular pathway. Although a transcellular route has not yet been demonstrated, its existence is inferred from several observations. No large chemical gradient exists for Mg movement across the cell membrane; however, a significant uphill electrical gradient exists for the exit of Mg from cells. This finding suggests the existence and participation of an energy-dependent mechanism for extrusion of Mg from intestinal cells. If such a system exists, it is believed it would consist of two stages. 1) Mg would enter the apical membrane of intestinal cells by way of a passive carrier or facilitated diffusion. 2) An active Mg pump in the basolateral section of the cell would extrude Mg. The intercellular movement of Mg has been demonstrated to occur by both gradient-driven and solvent-drag mechanisms. This intercellular path may be the only means by which Mg moves across the intestinal epithelium. The change in transport rates at low Mg concentrations would reflect changes in the "openness" of this pathway. High concentrations of luminal Mg (eg, after a meal) are capable of altering the morphology of the tight junction complex. High local Mg concentrations near the intercellular junction also can affect the activities of local membrane-associated proteins (eg, sodium-potassium adenosine triphosphate [Na-K ATPase]) near the tight junction and affect its permeability (see Fig. 4-6) [13-15].

Over the last several years, scientists have grown increasingly alarmed about the depletion of groundwater in many parts of India. However, even in a country with severe, widespread looming water shortages, the case of North Gujarat stands out. For more than three decades now, the farmers of North Gujarat have been productively utilizing the rich groundwater resources of the region in order to cultivate a variety of crops and a thriving dairy industry. The state of Gujarat (along with the Government of India) has also played its role in supporting this enterprise by providing these farmers with a variety of subsidized inputs, including reliable electricity for pumping groundwater as well as marketing and price supports. Unfortunately, because of the low levels of natural recharge of local aquifers, groundwater tables have fallen steadily throughout the same period. The groundwater situation is now so dire that the future of agriculture in North Gujarat is in jeopardy. Farmers are the first to suffer, as they must continually invest in deeper wells and more powerful pumps to irrigate, but nonetheless face a decline in both the quantity and quality of the water they are able to pump. The effect of acute water shortages goes beyond immediate impacts on farmers. Under the current subsidy system, each year the government is forced to finance increasing amounts of expensive electricity for irrigation pumping, even as the benefit of pumping for farmers stagnates or declines as the amount of water available decreases. In addition, high consumption of electricity for irrigation puts pressure on the electrical grid and reduces available electricity for other sectors. For the initial phase of its Gujarat project, the Columbia Water Center conducted an analysis of the water crisis in the Kukarwada sub-district in the Mehsana region. The study included a detailed survey of farmers and well operators in the region, along with an analysis of local hydrology, current energy policy and the potential for combining new incentive structures with water-saving technology to stabilize or reverse groundwater depletion in the region. The study found that based on observation wells and farmer surveys, water tables in the study area have been falling steadily over the last 15-20 years, and have reached about 600ft below ground level, risking irreversible salinization of aquifers. The declining trend is seen in observation wells and confirmed by farmers’ own recollection of water depth. The rate of decline is anywhere between 9 to 20 feet per year. To deal with falling water tables, farmers need to continuously drill deeper wells and buy more powerful pumps. However, although the horsepower usage and the depth of wells have increased dramatically over time, an average well can now irrigate only about 60% of its command area during the or winter-crop season. Nearly all respondents expected the water table to continue its decline, and on an average expect water to last for about six years. Once that happens, more than half of farmers in the area plan to abandon irrigated agriculture. At the same time, energy use appears to have increased over the last two decades without a matching increase in irrigated area. In other words, the “drop per unit of energy consumed” continues to deteriorate, a situation that can is only made possible through large government subsidies. In fact, at depths from which groundwater is currently extracted, tubewell irrigated agriculture as practiced today is probably not financially viable. Finally, while the study indicated that there were a number of practices and technologies that could increase water and energy use efficiency, they are, with few exceptions, not adopted by farmers in in the study area. The main reasons for this, farmers said, was high cost, land fragmentation and lack of familiarity. Based on the results of this study, Columbia Water Center scientists began developing an approach to help farmers in the region save water. Given political and financial constraints, they determined that a successful approach would have to provide farmers both an incentive to apply water-saving approaches along with extension support to do so. In partnership with the local electrical utility and the Gujarat government, the Center developed a pilot project that rewarded farmers by reducing the flat rate they paid for electricity for cutting water and energy consumption relative to a standard baseline based on historical use. As part of the project, farmers agreed to have their usage metered. Goals of the incentive program included, making the farmer direct beneficiary of reduced water use, providing information and measurement tool and ensuring that the project was revenue neutral for the government. Farm level GIS maps prepared that capture the land holding size, cropping pattern, area. To date over 800 farmers have been enrolled. June of 2012 will mark the completion of the first year of field implementation, at which point the project will have documented the relative efficacy of various interventions as well as capturing behavioral changes through a new energy bill design to refine the incentive approach and scale up for subsequent years.

Respect your body and please it – it will remember and respond with even better results. Massage is one of the best ways to do this. In addition to face care, it is important to cultivate the body, provide it with necessary nourishment and solve the problem of tired legs and sore points with quality treatments. Feel the smoothness of your skin upon a mere touch and enjoy a range of aromatic scents within each treatment. Visit our salon and feel for yourself the relaxing and nourishing powers of our top-quality products. Relaxation massage is a gentle, soothing massage using manual techniques, which brings body relaxation. Experience a wonderful feeling offered by this type of massage, which feeds, regenerates and awakens the vital force and restores harmony of the whole body. Through gentle stimulation of the energy points, the treatmant reduces tension, restores the flow of energy into balance, while fragrance oils give a pleasant feeling of relaxation and improve mood. In combination with the relaxation music, a complete relaxation is achieved through the sense of hearing and all sensory fields are gratified. Connective massage is a form of intense massage that aims at releasing myofascial restrictions in the body, and effects the disruption of the restrictive skin tissue. It is also known to help in the treatment of chronic tension, to increase the level of physical movement improve posture and enhance the natural harmony of the entire body and mind. Connective massage is a combination of techniques borrowed from the Swedish massage. The pressure applied by the therapist during the massage is more intense, and even massage oil or lotion is not used in the usual way. Connective massage strokes are slower and stronger, tending to warm the muscles and penetrate into their deeper layers. During the treatment, by applying deep intense movements the therapist will focus on the release of tension from the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue structures. This massage influences an improved posture, balance, movement, and leads to muscle relaxation. Classic manual body massage appears exotic and more pleasant with the addition of aromatic oils. Essential oils have been used for 5000 years and represent an elixir of youth, life, health and beauty. The word "aroma" means fragrance and is of Greek origin; therapy means treatment; thus, an aroma therapy stands for a treatment using aromatic oils combined with massage movements. Besides the effect of relaxation and reduction of muscle tension, this massage has a great effect on the complete physical and psychological health, as various aromas and friendly environment with appropriate music are known to positively affect mood and reduce stress. Sports massage speeds up recovery after a workout, warms up and softens the tissues, aligns the muscle fibers, improves circulation, speeds up the discharge of waste matter and lactic acid from the body. Sports massage keeps muscles healthy, flexible, less susceptible to injury, increases range of motion, strength of injured muscles, speeds up the process of strengthening, improves blood circulation and makes us more willing to make better performance in sports and life's challenges. Royal massage is a specific direction in creativity, placed in front of two therapists with similar sensibilities and four arms. This is a specific way of dancing hands where one creates a movement and the other simultaneously follows. By listening to the vibrations of the body and recognizing the client's blockades, the therapists simultaneously and in a balanced way create the relaxing effect on the left and right sides of the body. In this way, the stimulation of blood circulation and lymph flow is balanced on both sides of the body, the load on the heart is reduced to a minimal extent, a sense of unity and indivisibility of the body is fully revealed. In our ambience, with appropriate music, you will experience an absolute delight! Lymph is a colorless circulatory liquid in the vertebrate which accounts for nearly 25% of the human body weight. It fills all the intercellular spaces and acts as an intermediary between the blood and the tissues in a way that it transports nutrients and oxygen to the cells of the tissue capillaries and collects the harmful products of metabolism and carbon dioxide. The lymph is a fluid with a composition similar to the blood plasma and lymphocytes from the group of leukocytes, i.e. white blood cells. It results from the separation of blood plasma and one portion of leukocytes from the blood. The lymph’s flow to the heart is very slow and varies from 2 to 4 liters in an hour. The lymphatic system consists of lymph nodes and lymph vessels that branch throughout the body, similar to the blood vessels. The lymphatic system plays a major role in the immune system and the production of antibodies because it circulates the lymph back into the blood, where the lymph is filtered from damaged cells and bacteria, and produces immune cells. Lymphatic drainage therapy is intended to stimulate the free flow of lymph in the lymph system. It is performed by manual massage that primarily focuses on specific lymph nodes and points on the body, following its natural flow. The main goal of this treatment is to remove the blockage and retention of fluids, generally along the upper and lower extremities. It is used for inflammation and swelling of muscles and joints, after placing implants and liposuction. It is an indispensable therapy for the malfunction of digestive tract such as constipation, lazy bowels and flatulence. Lymphatic drainage is preventive detoxification, excellent in maintaining existing healthy state of the body, and it is strongly recommended to pregnant women. Today, this massage is widely used for facial cosmetic purposes, mostly in reducing bags under the eyes, double chin and after various cosmetic procedures. About 85% of women get cellulite at some point in life, most often accompanying major hormonal fluctuations, such as pregnancy and puberty, regardless of the activity or sport weight. In addition to genetics, the modern way of life is one of the major causes of cellulite. This phenomenon occurs in the subcutaneous adipose tissue (hypodermis) and extends into the medial layer of skin (dermis). Fat cells are grouped into globules and connected by the connective tissue made of collagen and elastin. Blood and lymphatic vessels pass between them. The process starts by increasing of cellulite fat cells, which creates pressure on capillaries and the surrounding tissue, and thus interferes with the circulation, which manifests itself as "orange peel" i.e. cellulite. Anti-cellulite massage acts to induce lymph circulation and remove excess liquid. Essential oils used in the massage dissolve fat deposits that have accumulated unevenly. Massage influences the breaking of fat cells. Hot stone massage is actually not a new method. It was used back in the ancient history of men, in rituals, healing ... and massages. The Egyptians and Indians were known to have used volcanic rocks because the stone is a very good accumulator of the thermal energies and its carrier. Volcanic rocks (i.e. stones from the heart of the earth) have geomagnetic properties which, in contact with the body, have a very positive effect and cure it both at the site of contact and the whole body. Special light and deep rhythmic massage movements combined with appropriate oils and heated stones create a feeling of harmony and balance in the body, reduce stress and relax muscles. This massage is a special type of massage, which is performed with warm oils and rhythmic movements. With its properties, massage with warm oils stimulates the body thus preventing many diseases. At the same time, it relaxes and therefore represents a massage for regeneration and pain relief. During massage, the therapist uses long, deep and intense movement pressures, in order to achieve the level of relaxation of tense muscles. Massage with warm oils relieves the body of stress and helps restore balance in the body and the free flow of energy. The oils used have intense aroma securing improved blood circulation, relaxation of body and mind - the overall vitality. This treatment includes complete relaxation and it will rebalance your energy, refresh you, strengthen and return the energy to your body and mind. Massage with herb compress or hot cotton bolus' is one of the special techniques which is an integral part of modern anti-stress programs. Bolus bags are filled with herbs and their specific aromas have a calming and relaxing effect. This technique is "PINDA SWEDA" and is one of the earliest techniques in Ayuverda. Massage is done by warmed bolus bags in order to heat the whole body, resulting in easing your energy blockades and pain relieving. Hot chocolate massage nourishes and regenerates the skin, provides a vital force and brings you back into perfect harmony. Wonderful sense of highest quality chocolate on your skin has relaxing effect on mind and senses through scent as aromatherapy. Gentle relaxation massage relieves tension and stress, and the smell of chocolate will totally relax you and certainly lift your spirits. Cocoa, the main ingredient of the preparation, contains polyphenols that bind free radicals and neutralize them and thus protect the skin from premature aging. It contains magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, and amino acids which lead to the formation of serotonin also known as a happiness hormone, and endorphins which alleviate pain. An anti-stress massage is a combination of relaxing and therapeutic massage, in which are used specially selected essential oils and bolus bags filled with aromatic herbs, thanks to which this massage has the characteristic of aroma therapy. This massage achieves a positive and stimulating effect on the central nervous system, and thus has a positive effect on mental processes, i.e. significantly reduces nervous tension and stress. Foot reflexology is a holistic therapeutic treatment by which is balancing of vital energy achieved through foot massage (specific reflex points). There are 10 channels in reflexology, known as zones, extending from head to fingertips and toes, and vice versa. Each zone is associated with a particular zone of the body and organs of that zone. Reflex points of all organs and body parts are located on feet. By pressing on precise reflex points, the therapist obtain the information about the state of an appropriate body organ – if the place is pressure-sensitive, what the texture of the skin is, small lumps that can be detected, or if a reflex point is “weakened". Soft and shiny skin is every woman’s wish. It is important to dedicate sufficient time and afford the care it deserves, because it is the most exposed organ of our body. To achieve the desired effect, it is necessary to regularly remove impurities from it, primarily from its upper layer. Exfoliation is a very good solution to thoroughly clean the skin, which is the basis of skin care in general. With the removal of excess dead tissue, the natural regeneration of the skin's surface is stimulated gradually achieving the effect of softness and shine. The number and frequency of treatments depend on skin type and the type of peel. Body treatment package, accorded to the needs of the skin, consists of various mixtures of algae, clay and essential oils. This is one of the oldest methods of skin care and dates back to the time of Cleopatra. Packages usually have a thermal effect so that active ingredients and heat can accelerate blood circulation, widen pores, speed up metabolism, particularly the secretion of harmful substances from the body. The extremely efficient effect on the skin and subcutaneous tissue is manifested by restored elasticity and tone, and thus the youthful appearance of the skin, giving the skin a long-lasting feeling of smoothness and tightness. Active ingredients penetrate the surface layers of the skin and affect the stimulation of cell processes important for overall health. Body mesotherapy is a method where adequate products are applied to the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Depending on your needs, body mesotherapy is applied to remove localized fat, cellulite reduction, straining i.e. rejuvenating the skin and muscle stimulation. At the same time, it is an amazing body antioxidant. The process is simple and the results are very good. It is the local application of selected cocktails which are determined by the doctor after the examination. Series of about 10 treatments are recommended. To make the results more effective, the treatment is combined with anti-cellulite massage. Skin tightening is carried out according to the same principle as the reduction of cellulite, except that the different mesotherapy cocktail is applied. The first effects are visible after 3 treatments, where the skin is tighter and has a beautiful, rejuvenated look. It is recommended for the women who just had delivery, after the body weight reduction, in order to correct the extra, loose skin, as well as tightening the upper arms, thighs, gluteus and inner side of the knee. Each and every day we witness increase in the number of obese people. There are some people who are successful in adoption of proper hygiene-dietetic habits and whose desire to be healthy, lean and attractive is strong enough so they manage to stick to the desired goal, i.e. they succeed in bringing their weight to an ideal one. However, we have seen too often that although someone achieved weight loss and desired weight, the critical lipid regions which still remained the same destroyed the ideal of a harmonious and attractive figure. The most common problem among women are hips, thighs, stomach and arms, while in most cases in men the critical region is stomach. Large abdominal girth (not just an aesthetic problem but a health issue as it is directly associated with high risk health) is in direct proportion to the risk of cardiovascular disease. WHAT DOES A LIPOLYSIS TREATMENT LOOK LIKE? A lipolysis treatment consists of lipolytic application with microinjections directly into the fatty tissue, and in the next month it melts and removes unwanted fat. After application a sense of itching and redness of the treated region appears in the next day or two. Some bruises may occur too, but disappear in just a few days. During the next month, after the injection of lipolytic cocktail, it is necessary that the patient adheres to a healthy diet and does not consume alcohol. HOW LIPOLYSIS TREATMENT WORKS AND WHAT RESULTS CAN BE EXPECTED? Lipolysis treatment can be called "non-surgical liposuction" because it acts locally in a similar manner as surgery – removes the local problem, i.e. removes local fat deposits. Thus, a series of 2-6 treatments remove fat from desired locations, thanks to substances that lead to the destruction of fat cells. This means that lipolysis treatment reduces the number of fat cells, which is extremely important because there is no yo-yo effect. It should be emphasized that common diet without lipolysis treatment does not decrease the number of fat cells. In that case, the cells are only getting smaller while we are losing weight, i.e. they "pump out", and we know very well how easily they could again "pump up". During one month, the girth may be reduced to 5-10 cm. Lipolysis treatment should be repeated every 2-6 weeks from 2-6 times. WHAT IS INJECTED INTO THE FATTY TISSUE, ARE THERE ANY NEGATIVE EFFECTS? Fatty acids which are out of the fat cells are signal that macrophages (scavengers of our body) rapidly come to the place of action and carry fatty acids to the liver, where they continue to metabolize. Contraindications for the application of lipolyses treatment are pregnancy, breast-feeding, active malignant and autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases. Before the treatment, a detailed physical examination and discussion with the patient must be done in order to make individually customized treatment regimen and achieve the best effect.

This garage fits on a small lot, but still houses a spacious apartment above. There is a separate entrance for privacy, and an open railing at the top of the stairs to add a feeling of roominess. A dressing area near the closet and bath, and an efficient U-shaped kitchen leave plenty of room elsewhere for a sleeping area, sitting area or table and chairs.

Amazing "happening" on shore of Lake Michigan and I came upon a Praying Mantis who appeared to be meditating on dune grass...moving very little for several minutes as sun set in the lake. This is earlier photo before it became dark. Date Uploaded: Sept. 8, 2012, 11:19 p.m.

The female Seba`s Short-tailed Bats give birth about twice a year. The newborn babies weigh only about five grams and are completely dependent on their mothers. Like all mammals, they only drink their mother’s milk at first. When about three weeks old, the young bats start trying to fly by themselves. After eight weeks they get weaned and have to hunt for their own food. They have to eat a lot to acquire their final weight of 18-19 grams, which they reach when they are ten weeks old. Giving birth and raising Pim was too much for his mother, so she died when he was only a few weeks old. On March 12, 2011, the keepers found little Pim lying on the floor of the bat enclosure. He was so starved and weak that he was trembling all over and couldn’t hang from the ceiling by himself. Banana pulp was needed! Patiently, the little nursling was fed and cared for. With each day, Pim grew stronger and livelier. A few weeks later the day had come when the little youngster could be put into the enclosure with the other bats. At first, the change from banana pulp to whole fruit and a lot of flying around was very hard on Pim; quite a few times the keeper saw him just hanging there, taking a rest. Meanwhile, though, he has settled in and gets along fine with his fellows. Still, he remembers his keeper well. Sometimes he lands on her hand just like he used to when this was the place where he got his daily banana pulp. Like all mammals, baby bats depend on their mothers at first. They get fed, cleaned and protected. When the mothers hunt for food, the little ones come along, holding tight to their mother’s belly.

My parents were in town for the past two weeks, so I got to show them the sights of Beijing. It was pretty gray and wet most of time, so we spent a lot of long afternoons lingering over lunch and ordering second and third cups of coffee. We managed to get out to Hong Kong and Macau for a few days. I’m really glad they were able to make it out here.

A quick walk from the boardwalk through the surrounding run-down neighborhoods brought us to the Absecon Lighthouse, which we'd first spotted from the beach. The air-conditioned museum was a welcome break on this very hot and humid day. Strange as it may sound, this lighthouse stands several blocks inland. At first I assumed it had been moved from its original location, but according to information found at the site this was not the case. A project in the 1870s to save and replenish the fast-eroding beach (and the lighthouse) stabilized and built up the sand, and the water line thus retreated, putting more distance between the lighthouse and the shoreline. The keeper's house has been restored and now houses a small museum, and a park surrounds the house and tower. The park is located at the intersection of Pacific and Rhode Island Avenues. The lighthouse has been repainted several times throughout its history; it's now a light shade of cream with a dark navy band. At around 170 feet, it's the tallest lighthouse in New Jersey and the third tallest in the United States. View from the corner of Pacific and Rhode Island Avenues. There’s a peaceful park at the base of the light.

If general principles exist that can explain properties common to all life on Earth, scientists hypothesize, then they may be universal to all life, even life on other planets. If a “universal biology” exists, it would have important implications for the search for life beyond Earth, for engineering synthetic life in the lab, and for solving the origin of life, enabling scientists to predict properties of alien life. In astrobiology, there is an increasing interest in whether life as we know it is a quirk of the particular evolutionary history of the Earth or, instead, if life might be governed by more general organizing principles. When we think of life on Earth, we might think of individual examples ranging from animals to bacteria. When astrobiologists study life, however, they have to consider not only individual organisms, but also ecosystems, and the biosphere as a whole.

The task is for a small group to count to ten, collectively, without any two people saying a number at the same time and with no verbal planning. The group will need to cooperate and focus in order to be successful. Ask your group to form a circle. Your group will count to the same number as there are people in the group so that everyone is responsible for one number. Example: There are ten people in a group, they will count to ten, 23 people then have them count to 23 together. The timing of this activity will depend heavily on the size of your group. Groups of 10-15 people will take 10-20 minutes. You should allot larger groups 20-30 minutes. Explain that no talking or planning is allowed. The task is for the group to count (to the number determined above) collectively without any two people saying a number at the same time. For example, one person starts by shouting “one,” and another person shouts “two” and so on. Each number must be called out clearly by one person, and no one else may talk when a number is called. When two or more people speak simultaneously, the entire group starts back at zero. For example, if two people call out “five,” the group restarts. Every member must say a number. The group must work out an informal solution to accomplish this task. Facilitator Note: It may take awhile but group members will work out creative solutions together! If your group is successful try a larger number. If you have a large group, split them up into smaller groups to start and then bring them together to try with more people. Have them turn their backs to the inside of the circle to make the communication even more difficult.

Filter medias have openings through which air and fluid passes. If the particles in the flow stream are larger than the pores or openings in the filter medium, they will be removed as a result of direct interception by the holes. Particles in the air stream have mass and velocity, as the air stream passes through a filter media, the air diverts around the fiber, however because the particles tend to move in a straight line, those particles located at or near the center of the flow line will stick or impact upon the fiber and be removed. In this process, particles are on a collision course with flow stream molecules. These frequent collisions cause the suspended particles to move in a random fashion around the fluid flow lines, which increases the likelihood of contacting the fiber surface and being removed. Sieving is a simple technique for separating particles of different sizes. For example when a particle is too large to fit between the media fiber spaces.

While many cemeteries are equipped to deal with both standard burials and options pertaining to cremations, it is important for you to consult with the director of your cemetery to ensure that this is the case and that all of the requirements are met. Although one might think that standard burials are simple and problem-free, knowing the facts in advance will make it much easier. For example, there are some locations which do not do standard burials in the wintertime, due to not being equipped to deal with the condition of the ground. In these instances, the casket is generally housed in a vault until a later date. If you are planning a standard burial, it is essential for you to know the facts about your particular cemetery. You will then be able to plan a graveside service if you wish to do so. If you wish for your cemetery to be the final resting place of your loved one, this is usually possible even if you opt for cremation. Although you should check with your cemetery to find out what is available, some ideas which you might like to consider are in-ground burial, a mausoleum, a columbarium, or placement in a special cremation garden. Depending upon the specifics of your cemetery, any or all of these may be readily available. There are many different styles and materials of cremation urns. Your personal preferences should be the deciding factor in the urn you select for your loved one. One important point to consider when making your decision is the final resting place you have chosen. Whether you select one of the cemetery options, or prefer to scatter the ashes in a different location, the urn you choose is important. Whether you are considering standard burial or cremation, the key to your final decision is remembrance. You will want to choose the method which is most in-tune with your loved one’s preferences and beliefs, as well as what is best for your family. You will honor your loved one through the manner in which you choose to remember him. It is about memories, connection to your loved one, and celebrating a special life.

This spell allows the caster to pick up an object, concentrate, and gain a “vision” of what happened in connection with this object. Essentially what happens is that objects “record” events that have happened to them; a sort of psychic imprint is left on the object. The object acts as camera in a sense, showing a visual image in the mind of the caster of what happened around the object. The image will not show anything beyond the object. For example, if the caster casts the spell on a dagger found on the floor and picks it up, he can see who the dagger stabbed or how it was dropped or maybe even see the dagger being carried by a person from one location to another. This spell only gives vision from the perspective of the dagger and won’t be able to show the whole contents of a room for example. It is almost as if the dagger had a small camera attached to it. No sound is provided with this spell: only visuals. This spell is very much up to the game master’s discretion and it can be useful for letting players in on clues in connection to an adventure. It can also be used to feed them useless information or distract them from the real course of a story. The based MP cost is 4 for this spell. It can be reduced by increments to as low as 2 MP.

The outputs of the /help command are no longer paginated in the new command system. This has benefits and drawbacks; all commands are on one page, but in the case of chat and other messages, the items at the top can be quickly obscured. Granted, the new command suggestions completely make this a moot point, but for users who have them disabled, the help output would be useful. Launch 1.12.2 and type /help, observe the output. Launch 1.13 and type /help, observe the output. Both do the same function but in different ways. This would likely have an impact on the help command itself, to distinguish page numbers from command literals. Perhaps /help, /help command <command>, /help page <page>, and /help page <page> command <command> could remedy this issue.

A significant part of why marine mammals have such an impressive ability to use their lung capacity is the unique way in which they utilize oxygen, as well as their greater tidal range. These qualities, enhanced by their anatomy, which has adapted perfectly to life in the ocean, are the key components for explaining how these magnificent animals are able to safely explore even the deepest reaches of the sea. Most marine mammals are capable of holding their breath for long periods of time. Since feeding, mating and many other activities essential to the species’ survival normally happen below the surface, this skill becomes crucial. Sea lions and cetaceans normally take only one breath per surfacing, while seals and deeper diving cetaceans sometimes spend an extended period of time at the surface. Additionally, larger whales, such as the sperm whale and bottlenose whale are able to routinely travel from the surface down to great depths, sometimes diving as deep as 6,000 feet, and proving that their oxygen stores can withstand enormous pressures and showing a resilience seldom seen in the animal kingdom. Most people focus immediately on the ability that marine mammals have to hold their breath for longer periods of time. Although this is the goal that they are reaching for, it is also the ultimate result of many intricate, complex processes having to do with the way these creatures use oxygen in the first place. First of all, it’s important to understand that, for each breath of air taken into their lungs, marine mammals – like all breathing creatures – only receive oxygen in proportion of about 1/4. These mammals can reduce the effect of nitrogen and ensure that their oxygen levels are used far more efficiently, also featuring larger oxygen stores that are significantly greater than in the case of humans. Deep diving whales and seals have reinforced peripheral airways, allowing the lungs to collapse during deeper dives, preventing nitrogen from being absorbed to avoid high blood nitrogen levels. There is, of course, far more to diving deep than just holding your breath. Pressure can have a powerful effect on areas of the body filled with gas, such as the inner ear or the sinuses, just as much as on the lungs. Some types of cetaceans feature an extensive venous plexus, which reduces the air cavity in the inner ear, while sinuses are enhanced through a stronger vasculature that acts in a similar way to help the mammals adapt to greater pressure. When compared to human lung capacity usage – which is generally limited to about 8-10% while resting and 15-17% when exercising – marine mammals use up a much vaster storage amount, while also actually having larger lung capacities and more resilient lungs, meant to withstand the crushing pressures of the ocean depths. While most phocids tend to exhale before diving (seals and delphinidae generally using less than 25% of their ability to store vital oxygen while diving), creatures like the sea otter are able to maintain 75% oxygen stores. The tidal volume of marine mammals is typically larger than 75%, due mainly to their lungs’ more flexible tissue composition, more cartilage in the ribs and much greater elasticity in the recoil of their lungs, diaphragm and chest cavity, when compared to terrestrial mammals.

Honey contains a high proportion of sugars and these can be readily absorbed by the body and are especially beneficial for children, the sick and those involved in heavy manual labour. In addition to being a food supplement, honey is also widely used as a home remedy especially by those suffering from colds and sore throats. The nutrient value of bee products lies in the fact that they are rich in carbohydrates and some in proteins, as well as vitamins and minerals. By-products such as bees wax can also be used to treat wounds such as burns and sores. The authors describe how these products can be made but point out that to become a beekeeper smallholders do need to have a lot of training and support. Local beekeepers can be a good source of information and help.

Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) are activities that adults do every day to carry out their lives. These include bathing, dressing, grooming, going to the bathroom, walking, eating and other basic activities. The vast majority of ADLs are provided by the paraprofessional in most health care settings. Because of this responsibility, it is important as caregivers to have a solid understanding of the appropriate techniques in providing personal care. The Personal Care Workers also needs to be able to correctly demonstrate the proper skills necessary to provide personal care. In addition to ADLs, it is important that the caregiver understand and practice the goals of proper skin care and the preventive measures necessary to avoid pressure ulcers. Demonstrate the proper technique for giving a client a bed bath.

Right across the mallee lands of southern Australia in spring, the sweet sustained songs of the Shy Heathwrens drift through the air. Often heard but not so often seen, their titles "cauta" and "shy" are quite apt for they usually keep well out of view. Year after year, pairs of Shy Heathwrens are found in the same little selected places, territories that no doubt provide them with all the necessary sustenance the year round. They feed mainly on the ground, poking amongst the litter and shrubbery for insects and seeds. They build their nests there also, a small dome of fine twigs, bark and grass well concealed amongst dead or prickly growth. Only the female incubates, the male sometimes singing nearby to advertise ownership of their territory, but after the two or three eggs hatch, both birds feed the nestlings. 499201 ...

New Mexico’s medical cannabis industry is about to get bigger, though it’s unclear by how much. The state’s health department has chosen 17 finalists out of 86 applicants for new MMJ producer licenses, according to The Associated Press. There’s no word yet on how many of those 17 will actually be awarded licenses. But Retta Ward, New Mexico’s secretary of health, is expected to make a decision on the matter within the next 30 days, the AP reported. At the beginning of the year, there were 24 nonprofit dispensaries and 23 licensed producers in the entire state (licensees are allowed to run more than one dispensary). Some of the factors that played into officials’ decision when culling the field of applicants included plans for security, production, quality assurance, sales and distribution, and agricultural experience.

The Swedish cleantech company Ripasso Energy has developed a unique solution to harness energy from flare and industrial residual gas combustion. A solution based on the Stirling technology, a 200-year-old invention with decades of operation service in Swedish submarines, that can cut costs and lower carbon dioxide emissions for the South African mining and processing industry. Many industrial applications, especially in the metallurgical sector, produce byproducts in the form of gases (residual gas) that are currently burned off (flared) without harnessing the energy. Up to 50% of the energy in a furnace process is lost in form of waste gas. To be able to recycle some of this energy is of course attractive, both from a cost as well as an environmental perspective. For decades different technical solutions have been tested but have in general been unsuccessful of various reasons. Some of them have been too expensive and/or require costly investments that makes the price of the recovered energy significantly higher than the market price of electricity. Another common problem has been the fact that residual gas is generally of such uneven quality that engines based on internal combustion have a hard time handling it. For example – the gas from a ferro-alloy furnace at some stages have 60 to 65% CO and 10 to 15% H, and in the next moment it switches and have 45 to 50% CO and up to 25 to 30% H. For internal combustion engines this is a major problem as a phenomenon known as “knocking” can occur, which damages the engine. Fig. 1: Illustration of the Stirling cycle plotted in a diagram which shows the pressure (P) and the volume variations (V). Ripasso Energy has developed a solution that effectively can turn waste gas into electricity with unrivaled cost efficiency by using Stirling engines, based on Swedish Kockum’s world-class Stirling technology for submarines. The Stirling engine, which is what is referred to as a gas pressure engine, was invented in the early 19th century. From a historical perspective, its practical applications have been limited compared to, for example, the internal combustion engine, with the result that the technology has never had a major commercial breakthrough. Combined with an overall societal push to reduce the use of fossil fuels, the refinements made to the technology in recent decades may mean that the breakthrough is at hand. The Stirling technology has several characteristics making it particularly well-suited to the development of cost-effective solutions for climate-friendly power generation. Qualities that other engines and solutions lack completely or are significantly less well-positioned to offer. Among other things, the Stirling engine can be operated using any heat source at all, in principle. The combustion that drives the engine takes place externally – i.e. outside of the engine itself. It is quiet and virtually vibration-free. Above all though, the Stirling engine features very high efficiency, i.e. the ability to convert thermal energy to kinetic energy. In its simplest version, the Stirling engine is a closed system with an expansion cylinder and a compression cylinder filled with a working gas. The pistons of the cylinders are linked by a connecting rod. When the working gas in the expansion cylinder is heated, pressure increases. This depresses the piston and thus performs work. Part of the power is used to force the hot working gas from the expansion cylinder into the compression cylinder. Once its outward motion in the compression cylinder is arrested, the piston returns by the inertia of the connecting rod, and by the fact that the working gas is compressed at low temperature. The gas is then forced back into the working cylinder. On the whole, the expansion of the hot gas in the expansion cylinder does more work than is needed to compress the cold gas in the compression cylinder. This work can be used to drive an electrical alternator that is directly connected to the engine’s connecting rod. The Stirling cycle itself is the most efficient thermodynamic cycle for the transformation of heat into mechanical energy. The engine operates without internal combustion and is dependent only on an external heat source. That makes it ideal for use as a converter of thermal energy into mechanical energy. A constant quantity of hydrogen gas is heated in the engine (4 in figure below). Through its expansion when heated (1 in the figure below) and contraction when cooled (2 and 3 in the figure below), the gas sets the pistons in motion. The pistons are linked by a connecting rod that drives an alternator that produces electrical energy. The efficiency of the Stirling engine increases at high temperature differentials between the hot side and the cold side. As there are no internal contaminants caused by combustion, the pistons, bearings and seals have a very long service life. Fig. 2: Schematic of the Ripaso Energy PWR BLOK. PWR BLOK is a container-based product is specifically designed to cost-efficient extract energy from residual gases. It contains of 14 Stirling engines arrayed in a 45-ft container and delivers total net output of 400 kW. The Stirling engines remove the risk of dealing with volatile gas because they burn it in a combustion chamber under very low pressure and with no compression, just heat. The engines are, thanks to the external combustion design, practically indifferent to the type of gas burned and to the quality of the gas in question. This also gives low maintenance/service (6000 h) since the fuel don’t contaminate the inside of the engine itself. The PWR BLOK’s pricing gives the customer a payback period of around three to four years. The technology’s service life is at least 25 years. A clear example of the benefits offered by the PWR BLOK can be seen in the ferrochrome industry in South Africa. This industry produces large amounts of residual gas that are currently flared off. At the same time, electricity costs account for nearly a third of the industry’s total production costs. Ripasso’s solution makes it possible to burn the gas while at the same time using it to generate electricity at a cost of just 20 EUR/MWh, a record low for climate-friendly electricity, and very competitive to the industry’s average price today of 52 EUR/MWh. Since this also reduces the company’s need to purchase electricity from the grid by up to 15-18%, it in turn reduces the companies’ carbon dioxide emissions. South Africa currently generates approx. 87% of all its electricity from fossil fuels, according to figures from Eskom. Ripasso’s technology enables an annual 3500-tonne reduction in carbon dioxide emissions in South Africa per PWR BLOK installed.

Undoubtedly an ambitious project, the Lilypad seeks to be a completely self-sufficient floating city that will bring shelter to future climate change refugees. Drawing its inspiration from the highly ribbed leaf of the great lilypad of the Amazonia Victoria Regia, the city is also called the Floating Ecopolis and is designed to hold approximately 50,000 people. Designed by Vincent Callebaut, the Lilypad is a concept proposal to deal with the effects of global warming and the displacement of inhabitants who reside along the coastal lines. The double skin of the ecopolis is made of polyester fibres covered by a layer of titanium dioxide which would react with ultraviolet rays and absorb atmospheric pollution. It will also implement renewable technologies allowing it to produce more energy than it consumes. A centrally located artificial lagoon completely immersed below the water line will be surrounded by three marinas and three mountains to act as a stabilizer for the city. Biotic corridors and aquaculture farms would be used to grow food and biomass. Each city is intended to be either near a coast, or floating around in the ocean. Expected to be a reality in 2100, the project still has a very long way to go and may come in too late for climate change refugees. The ability of the cactus plant to survive in harsh desert climate inspired the new design for Qatar’s Minister of Municipal Affairs & Agriculture (MMAA) building. Borrowing from the plant’s ability to transpire at night rather than the day in order to retain water, the building is covered with hundreds of smart shades that open and close depending on the strength of the sun. There is a dome at the base of the building that is home to a botanical garden which has an edible garden and uses plants to clean up waste water. The waste water passes through three different ecological systems that process and filters it in different ways. The botanical dome is also used for climate and air control, as well as a sustainable food source. Termites are reputed to be one of nature’s best builders, erecting tall mounds and maintaining a constant temperature inside despite the external weather conditions. How do they perfect a system of a self-cooling ventilation system? The largest office and shopping complex in Zimbabwe, the East Gate Centre, borrows from this marvel having no air conditioning yet remaining cool. The East Gate Centre, largely made of concrete, draws in outside air that is either warmed or cooled by the building mass. Vented into the building’s floors and offices, the air exits through the chimneys at the top. The complex also consists of two buildings side by side that are separated by an open space that is covered by glass and open to the local breezes. Minimizing its heating and cooling energy by 90%, the owners of the building were able to save up to $3.5 million for a $36 million building. One of the fastest trains in the world, Japan’s Shinkansen bullet train travels at over 200 miles per hour. It is also the world’s busiest rail line, serving over 151 million passengers in a year. However, the engineers of the train faced a major challenge. When the high-speed train would pass through a tunnel, a cushion of air would build up and pushed along in front of the train. As the train would exit the tunnel, this compressed air would suddenly expand with a loud sonic boom. Eventually the engineers redesigned the model, borrowing from the kingfisher which is capable of diving from air into water seamlessly. The train’s nose cone is modelled after a kingfisher’s beak, creating a much quieter train. Not only does it help the train go faster but it also uses 15% less energy. The tropical boxfish lives in warm ocean waters. While it has a rather large body, the fish is able to swim very fast because of its low coefficient of drag and rigid exoskeleton. Looking for a new aerodynamic design for a car, the designers set out to model a new vehicle, applying characteristics of the fish to the car. The result was a vehicle that recorded the lowest co-efficient of a drag ever tested. The Bionic Car was able to reach a top speed of 118 miles per hour. Not only did the aerodynamic shape give the car a highly efficient fuel performance, its rectangular frame also added stability. Developed by Boston Dynamics for the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the fastest legged robot dubbed the “Cheetah” set a new land record speed for land robots at 18 miles per hour. The concept uses the natural flexing of both legs and back that a cheetah exhibits to increase its stride. A cheetah’s spine is unusually flexible and it curves or flexes with each stride, acting like a spring for its hind legs. The current version of this robot runs on a laboratory treadmill where it is powered by an off-board hydraulic pump, and uses a boom-like device to keep it running in the centre of the treadmill. Organic agriculture could eventually provide enough food to nourish the planet if developed on a large scale. Urban farming has become a growing trend among city inhabitants though in a place like Manhattan space to actually carry this through is a major challenge. With no way to go but up, Belgian architect, Vincent Callebaut, developed an incredible urban farm concept that mimics the design of the wings of a dragonfly. The space between the pair of “wings” can use solar energy production to accumulate warm air within the structure during winter months, and the design of the spine can efficiently separate and recirculate waste products from plants, humans and animals. Spanning 132 floors, the Dragonfly can accommodate 28 different agricultural fields for the production of fruit, vegetables, grains, meat and dairy. Within the New Songdo City, a series of residential and commercial towers have arisen, drawing inspiration from the honeycomb. To achieve a twisting look yet preventing the tower from buckling in heavy winds, the structure is designed with supporting walls that stagger out and upward from the centre. Just like the hexagonal parts of a honeycomb, the supporting walls hug the core like puzzle pieces, creating a balanced and secure structure with no wasted space. Considered highly controversial for being constructed on an intertidal wetland, the properties consist of six 50-story towers, accommodate state-of-the-art technology, live-in work amenities and retail space; defining the northern edge of the city. A freely movable handling system, the Bionic Handling Assistant is inspired by the elephant trunk, developing a bionic arm. It combines a wide range of technologies and components – from manufacturing concepts to series products like sensors and valves, actuators and grippers, to control technology and software for developing applications and products. Its structural resilience allows for safe and direct contact between a person and the machine, forming a stronger and more efficient method of interaction between people and technology. The invention can be used in various situations that require support from machines such as medical technology, rehabilitation and as an aid for the handicapped, as well as in agriculture, private homes and educational institutes. The Haitian kapok tree is able to store water internally and shed its leaves under drought conditions to conserve energy. As they embark to replace an orphanage that was ruined in the 2010 earthquake I Haiti, designers have sought inspiration from that tree to counter the rainy season and humid climate of the region. The centre’s unique deep-set balcony system was modelled after the Kapok tree’s branching support system. The Kapok’s roots are represented by the facility’s below-grade area, which will clean and store water. A porous bamboo layer protects the building’s concrete core; the bamboo’s high surface area and cell-like pockets circulate trade winds and deflect heat.

A name given to manifestations of the magnetic self-attraction of parallel electric currents having the same direction. The effect at modest current levels of a few amperes can usually be neglected, but when current levels approach a million amperes such as occur in electrochemistry, the effect can be damaging and must be taken into account by electrical engineers. The pinch effect in a gas discharge has been the subject of intensive study, since it presents a possible way of achieving the magnetic confinement of a hot plasma (a highly ionized gas) necessary for the successful operation of a thermonuclear or fusion reactor. The law of attraction which describes the interaction between parallel electric currents was discovered by A. M. Ampère in 1820. For a cylindrical wire of radius r meters carrying a total surface current of I amperes, it manifests itself as an inward pressure on the surface (Fig. 1) given by I2/2 × 107πr2 pascals. For the electric currents of normal experience, this force is small and passes unnoticed, but it is significant that the pressure increases with the square of the current, I2. For example, at 25,000 amperes the pressure amounts to about 1 atm (100 kilopascals) for a wire of 1-cm radius, but at 106 amperes the pressure is about 1600 atm or about 12 tons in.-2 (160 megapascals). There are a number of ways in which the magnetic field of a fusion reactor can be arranged around the plasma to hold it together, and one of these methods is the pinch effect. A fusion reactor using this type of confinement would ideally be a toroidal tube in which the confined plasma would carry a large electric current induced in it by magnetic induction from a transformer core passing through the major axis of the torus. The current would have the double function of ohmically heating the plasma and compressing the plasma toward the center of the tube. Characteristically, as can be shown by high-speed photography, the pinch forms at the inner surface of a discharge tube wall and contracts radially inward, forming an intense line, the pinch, on the axis; the pinch rebounds slightly; the contracted discharge rapidly develops necks and kinks; and in a few microseconds all structure is lost in an apparently turbulent glowing gas which fills the tube. Thus, the pinch turns out to be unstable, and plasma confinement is soon lost by contact with the wall. The cause of the instability is easily seen qualitatively: The pinch confinement can be described as being caused by the magnetic field lines encircling the pinch which are stretched longitudinally but which are in compression transversely (Fig. 2). For a uniform cylindrical pinch, the magnetic pinch pressure is everywhere equal to the outward plasma pressure, but at a neck or on the inward side of a kink, the magnetic field lines crowd together, creating a higher magnetic pressure than the outward gas pressure. Consequently, the neck contracts still further, the kink cuts in on the concave side and bulges out on the convex side, and both perturbations grow. The instability has a disastrous effect on the confinement time. The term theta pinch has come into wide usage to denote an important plasma confinement system which relies on the repulsion of oppositely directed currents and which is thus not in accord with the original definition of the pinch effect (self-attraction of currents in the same direction). Plasma confinement systems based on the original pinch effect are known as Z pinches. McGraw-Hill Concise Encyclopedia of Physics. © 2002 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. the tendency of an electric-current channel in a compressible conducting medium to decrease its cross-section under the action of the magnetic field produced by the current. The phenomenon was first described in 1934 by the American scientist W. Bennett with respect to streams of fast charged particles in a gas-discharge plasma. The term “pinch effect” was introduced in 1937 by the British physicist L. Tonks in an investigation of arc discharge. a simple consequence of Ampere’s law, which describes the magnetic attraction of the individual parallel current filaments whose aggregate is the current cylinder. Magnetic compression is impeded by the gas-kinetic pressure of the conducting medium resulting from the thermal motion of the medium’s particles; the forces of this pressure are directed from the axis of the current channel. When the current is sufficiently large, however, the magnetic pressure differential becomes greater than the gas-kinetic differential and the current channel contracts—the pinch effect arises. The pinch effect requires that the concentrations of the carriers of charges of opposite signs in the medium be approximately equal. In fluxes of carriers of charges of one sign, the electric field of the space charge effectively impedes current contraction. When sufficiently large currents pass through a gas, the gas changes to the state of a completely ionized plasma consisting of charged particles of both signs; the pinch effect squeezes the plasma column away from the walls of the chamber in which the discharge occurs. The conditions are thus created for magnetic thermal insulation of the plasma. This property of powerful self-constricting discharges, which are called pinches, explains scientists’ interest in the pinch effect as the simplest and most encouraging mechanism for the confinement of high-temperature plasma. Such confinement is of importance in the problem of controlled thermonuclear fusion. The conditions under which the gas-kinetic pressure of the plasma nk(Te + Ti) becomes equal to the magnetic pressure of the field of the current I are given by Bennett’s equation (2I/cr)2/8π = nk(Te + Ti). Here, n is the number of particles per unit volume, r is the pinch radius, Te and Ti are the electron and ion temperatures, respectively, n is the number of electrons per unit volume and is equal to the number of ions because of the quasi-neutrality of the plasma, and k is the Boltzmann constant. It follows from Bennett’s formula that the large, but quite feasible, current of ~ 106 amperes (A) is required to attain the minimum temperature (T ~ 108°K) at which thermonuclear fusion may be of interest as an energy source. Investigation of pinches in deuterium began simultaneously in 1950 and 1951 in the USSR, the USA, and Great Britain within the framework of national programs for controlled thermonuclear fusion. Attention was paid primarily to two types of pinches—linear and toroidal. It was believed that when a current passed through the pinch, the plasma would be heated not only through Joule heating but also by adiabatic compression of the pinch—that is, by compression occurring without exchange of energy with the environment. The early experiments, however, showed that the pinch effect is accompanied by the development of various plasma instabilities. Necks (“sausage” deformations), kinks, and helical disturbances are formed. The growth of these perturbations occurs extraordinarily quickly and results in the breakdown of the pinch—the pinch ruptures or plasma is thrown onto the wall of the chamber. Simple pinches were found to be subject to practically all the types of instabilities of a high-temperature plasma and thus can be used to study these instabilities and to test various methods of stabilizing the plasma column. A current of ~106 A in linear pinch units is produced by the discharge of powerful condenser batteries across a gas-filled gap. In some cases, the rate of current growth may be ~1012 A/sec. The most important factor here is not Joule heating but the electrodynamic acceleration of the thin outer layer, or skin, of the current column toward its axis with the accompanying formation of a powerful shock wave that converges on the axis. The conversion of the energy accumulated by the wave into thermal energy creates a plasma with a temperature much greater than Joule heating could produce. On the other hand, the conversion of the energy of the electric current in a pinch into thermal energy becomes considerably more efficient when the turbulence that arises with the development of microinstabilities begins to make the decisive contribution to the electrical resistance of the plasma. Under certain conditions, powerful pulsed pinches in rarefied deuterium become sources of hard radiation, including neutron radiation and X rays. This phenomenon was discovered in the USSR in 1952. Although the problem of controlled thermonuclear fusion has not been solved for even the simplest pinches, self-constricting discharges have been of great importance for plasma research. They have permitted the obtaining of a dense plasma with a lifetime that, although short, is sufficient to study the physics of the pinch effect, to create various methods of plasma diagnostics, and to develop a modern theory of plasma processes. The evolution of apparatus making use of the pinch effect has led to the development of many types of plasma devices in which the instabilities of the pinch effect are stabilized by external magnetic fields—for example, Tokamaks and θ pinches—or are used to produce a short-lived high-density plasma in fast processes (plasma focus, micropinches). For this reason, systems based on the pinch effect occupy at the present time an important place in programs for controlled thermonuclear fusion in the USSR, the United States, and the European Atomic Energy Community. The pinch effect occurs not only in a gas discharge but also in a solid-state plasma, particularly in the strongly degenerate electron-hole plasma of semiconductors. Artsimovich, L. A.

Like most islands, getting an overview of Ibiza is easier said than done because there’s simply so much to do and experience. The island is Ibiza is located about 80 kilometers off the mainland of Spain. Surrounded by the Mediterranean sea, the island’s temperature is governed by the temperature of the surrounding water. When the water is warm, the island air temperature is warm. When the water is cold, the island air temperature is cold. Because the surrounding sea is relatively warm during the summer, the island is warm around the clock, even after the sun goes down. The warm nights during the summer months is one of the reasons why Ibiza has such a strong nightlife scene. An important facet to note when getting an overview of Ibiza is the significance that fine and food play in the island’s culture and tourist industry. Despite the fact that Ibiza is a part of Spain, the cuisine isn’t necessarily Spanish. The island offers a wide variety of food from all over Europe. If you’ve got a taste for French cuisine, you’ll be able to find it. If you’re in the mood for some Italian food, you’ll be able to find that as well. You’ll find countless outdoor terraces that line the streets of Ibiza, and you’ll find corner cafe’s sitting kitty-corner from themselves. If you are hoping to get a good overview on Ibiza, you’re definitely going to want to check out old Ibiza town. Again, it’s difficult to get an overview of Ibiza in the span of a 4 or 5 day vacation, but the locations above will definitely get you on the right track. All you have to do know is book your airline ticket and you too can join the fun!

It’s that time of year again – Open Enrollment from November15th until the end of December. There is a lot of information to sift through and some of it – or maybe a lot of it – can be very confusing. The good news is that there are organizations providing help to sift through it all and actually end up understanding what provisions you need, what is affordable and, as a result, which coverage and supplements are right for you. If you are trying to find understandable information and straightforward facts there are places to go to get the information you need. Look through your local newspaper in the Calendar Section for free events. You will find various free seminars on topics such as How to Choose the Right Medicare Coverage; Choosing a Medicare Supplement; Determining What You Will Be Covered For; What is the Difference Between Plans? and more information. Usually you can find excellent seminars at your local senior citizens center, your local library, your local hospital, your local clinic and your local health department. If a seminar is not listed in your newspaper Calendar Section, take the time to call the organizations just mentioned and find out what type of information or seminars they have planned. You can also go online or call CMS – the Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services – and they will be able to help sort out the basics for you and tell you if they will be having a seminar or presentation in your area. Try to remember – especially when you attend a seminar or presentation – that many of these are presented by individual insurance companies that are trying to sell you their product. As a result, it is important to attend a few seminars if possible so that you can compare what several companies have to offer. Too often some companies charge a lot more for the same coverage that other companies charge far less for. If you can go to a seminar presented by an unbiased individual, such as an individual from Medicare or an individual comparing several policies for you, this is the best way to get accurate information for making decisions. Regardless of what you attend, try to at least attend one seminar or talk to someone you trust who understands Medicare and Medicare Supplements. Take the time to be sure that you choose the coverage that is right for you.

For several seasons I was the play-by-play announcer and host of “Maccabi Haifa Basketball.” Each week I broadcast Haifa’s games in Israel’s top basketball league. The games were watched live across the world at: Triangle Internet TV and seen on the Yes network in the United States. A selection of individual broadcasts can be found below.

The “blue hour” is that brief but magical moment of twilight, either early in the dawn, or late in the dusk, when the sun is at a significant distance below the horizon and the residual, indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue hue. My goal was to create a VAST photo capturing San Francisco at that special moment - but first I had to find the perfect location. The "City By the Bay" is located on a geologic fault line, which means that there is no shortage of scenic overlooks, dramatic views, and picturesque locations. That being said, Twin Peaks is one of my favorites. It offers a great vantage of the entire downtown San Francisco area, with a straight view down Market Street all the way to the famous Ferry Building. In the background, you can see the recently reinvigorated Bay Bridge, with all its dancing lights. On this particularly cold evening, I worked my way past the main viewpoint, and down the hillside where I could be in perfect position. I wanted to be able to see the famous Ferry Terminal building all the way at the end of Market Street. I sat on the side of the hill and waited for the sun to go down behind me and for all the other visitors to leave. In the span of about ten minutes, the temperature dropped about 15 degrees, and the wind picked up dramatically. Without the extra layers and a sturdy tripod, this shot would not have happened. While I waited for the light to be just right, I reflected on how I was witnessing San Francisco at a pivotal moment of its history, with the nearly completed construction of the West Coast’s tallest building, Salesforce Tower. With such explosive economic growth from the tech sector, this city has seen a lot of changes in the past ten years, some for the better, and some not. I have been part of those changes in many ways, and when you sit upon one of its predominant hills, you are confronted with how much the city is alive and evolving right in front of you. Facing east towards downtown, my goal was to wait for the moment when all the lights within the city were illuminated, but the sky still had enough light to have the beautiful blue color I was looking for. Once the sun set below the horizon, the light changed at a dramatically fast pace, giving me precious-little time to capture the many exposures that I would stitch together to create this image - all while my fingers were going numb. After successfully capturing the necessary images within the fleeting time window, I packed up my gear and hiked back up the hillside, excited to begin the technical process of using the source material I had just acquired to generate this VAST photo, one of the highest resolution photographs ever created. This 363-megapixel VAST photo is one of the highest definition photographs ever created. It has a resolution equivalent to 175 HDTVs.

The heart has four chambers: two chambers at the top, the right and left atria; and two chambers on the bottom, the right and left ventricles. The right side of the heart collects blood from the body and pumps it into the lungs, where the blood is oxygenated. The oxygen rich blood is then collected by the left side of the heart, and from there it is pumped out into the body's various organs. Congestive left-sided heart failure refers to a condition in which the left side of the heart is not able to push blood through the body efficiently enough to meet the metabolic needs of the body, and frequently results in blood pooling in the lungs. Low blood output from the heart causes tiredness, exercise intolerance and fainting. Your veterinarian will perform a thorough physical exam on your cat, taking into account the background history, onset of symptoms and possible incidents that might have led to this condition. A blood chemical profile, complete blood count, urinalysis and an electrolyte panel will be ordered to check the underlying cause of the heart disease and its severity. Your veterinarian will also draw blood from your cat to check thyroid function. Imaging studies can be used to gain a further understanding of your cat's heart condition. X-ray and ultrasound imaging may be used, as well as electrocardiogram (ECG, or EKG) recordings for examining the electrical currents in the heart muscles. These recordings may reveal any abnormalities in cardiac electrical conduction (which underlies the heart’s ability to contract/beat).

A specialist car writer has given the 2014 Ford Fiesta a rave review after test driving it at the recent New York International Auto Show. The 2014 Ford Fiesta is regarded by many experts as one of the best new Ford cars available this year and Michael Wayland, the specialist automotive industry writer for Michigan Live, says in the article that the new Ford Fiesta is fun, fuel efficient and affordable. Michael Wayland tested the 2014 Ford Fiesta, which has a 1.6 litre engine, and has given the car a rave review by saying that the new Fiesta is one of the best looking small cars currently on the market and looks similar to the critically-acclaimed Ford Fusion. Even the car’s interior gets good reviews, with the writer saying the car is “surprisingly spacious”. The review of the 2014 Ford Fiesta, which is available in many UK Ford car dealerships, also says that it is “sporty to drive” and is helped by its 120 bhp engine. The feature also reveals that the Fiesta is very affordable and its fuel economy is almost unrivalled. Drivers are said to easily get 30 miles per gallon combined, which matches Ford’s acclaimed 2-litre Focus. The 2014 Ford Fiesta is also acclaimed for being extremely affordable and offering a lot for the price of the car. The new Ford Fiesta is available to buy in two different body styles: a four-door Sedan and a four-door Hatchback. The Sedan comes with 15-inch steel wheel covers, power locks and mirrors, a range of interior stereo system features, air-conditioning and the Ford Sync functions. The other model, the Fiesta SE, also includes a keyless entry, power windows, exterior mirrors with side marker lamps, cruise control, a trip computer, aluminium 15-inch wheels and a leather wrapped wheel. In all, the review feels the 2014 Ford Fiesta is one of the best models available in the small-car market, which is backed up by the fact that last year the Fiesta sales rose by 25.2 percent.

Artist rendering of Jason-3 satellite over the Amazon. The Jason-3 oceanographic satellite is planned to launch on Sunday 17th January from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, aboard the Space-X Falcon 9 rocket. Named after the Greek hero Jason, of the Argonauts fame, Jason-3 is actually the fourth in a series of joint US-European missions to measure ocean surface height. The series began with the TOPEX/Poseidon satellite launched in 1992, followed by Jason-1 and Jason-2 which were launched in 2001 and 2008 respectively. Jason-3 should provide a global map of sea surface height every ten days, which will be invaluable to scientists investigating circulation patterns and climate change. The primary instrument is the Poseidon-3B radar altimeter, which will measure the time it takes an emitted radar pulse to bounce off the ocean’s surface and return to the satellite’s sensor. Pulses will be emitted at two frequencies: 13.6 GHz in the Ku band and 5.3 GHz in the C band. These bands are used in combination due to atmospheric sensitivity, as the difference between the two frequencies helps to provide estimates of the ionospheric delay caused by the charged particles in the upper atmosphere that can time delay the return. Once the satellite has received the signal reflected back, it will be able to use its other internal location focussed instruments to provide a highly accurate measurement of sea surface height. Initially the satellite will be able to determine heights to within 3.3cm, although the long-term goal is to reduce this accuracy down to 2.5cm. In addition, the strength and shape of the return signal also allows the determination of wave height and wind speed which are used in ocean models to calculate the speed and direction of ocean currents together the amount and location of heat stored in the ocean. In addition, Jason-3 carries an Advanced Microwave radiometer (AMR) which measures altimeter signal path delay due to tropospheric water vapour. DORIS (Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite) – Uses a ground network of 60 orbitography beacons around the globe to derive the satellite’s speed and therefore allowing it’s precise position in orbit to be determined to within three centimetres. Laser Retroreflector Array (LRA) – An array of mirrors that provide a target for laser tracking measurements from the ground. By analysing the round-trip time of the laser beam, the satellite’s location can be determined. Global Positioning System – Using triangulation from three GPS satellites the satellites exact position can be determined. The importance of extending the twenty-year time series of sea surface measurements cannot be underestimated, given the huge influence the ocean has on our atmosphere, weather and climate change. For example, increasing our knowledge of the variations in ocean temperature in the Pacific Ocean that result in the El Niño effect – which have caused coral bleaching, droughts, wet weather and movements in the jet stream in 2015, and are expected to continue into this year – will be hugely beneficial. This type of understanding is what Jason-3 is setting sail to discover.

It’s the 28th of January, and I can’t believe we are almost at the end of this 30-Day Challenge. As I write this, I realize that I dated yesterday’s challenge incorrectly. Blogging for 30 days straight is hard (ha). I’m so thankful to those of you who have read and followed along. I really hope you have been learning, and I’m open to questions about anything. I want to address one more aspect of healthy eating, which leads me to today’s challenge. I really don’t consider any foods “bad”. I think my nutrition philosophy of “everything in moderation” is pretty evident from the past 28 days. I even advise many of my clients to implement a cheat day. With all of that being said, Im going to contradict myself and say I really don’t think people should consume sugary drinks. Today’s challenge is to omit the sugar sweetened beverages. Here’s why: Sugar sweetened beverages add excess calories to the diet without adding any nutrients. They don’t make you feel full, and they don’t provide any vitamins or minerals. They only provide excess calories and sugar, and cutting out sugar sweetened beverages is one of the easiest and most efficient ways to reduce calorie intake. Find your favorite sugary drink, find the grams of sugar on the label. Divide the number of grams by 4. That’s how many teaspoons of sugar is in that one drink. For example, if a soda has 28 grams of sugar, that’s 7 teaspoons of sugar in one drink! For a visual, measure out the 7 teaspoons and put them in one cup. Consider if you would like to eat that cup of sugar in one drink. I’m so glad to hear that. I hope to be able to provide more fun and informational nutrition tidbits in the future. Thank you!!! I’m glad you got something out of it. It’s been fun, and it’s inspired me to do more fun things on the blog in the future. Your 30 day blog became my drug! I couldn’t wait to get up each morning and see what the day called for! Today’s blog is good! Our household drinks just water (I FINALLY got William off of Gatorade too!). The best day was learning about the sodium. That was one thing I have never tried before.

A two vehicle injury crash occurred on U.S. Route 50 near Maple Grove Road in Ross County, Monday. 76-year-old Barbara Dalton and 35-year-old James Burkitt, both of Chillicothe, were driving eastbound on US 50 when Dalton stopped as she was attempting to turn left onto Maple Grove Road. She was struck in the rear by Burkitt’s vehicle. Burkitt sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene. Dalton was mechanically extracted from her vehicle. She was transported by the Twin Township EMS to Adena Regional Medical Center and later transported to Grant Medical Center in Columbus for her injuries.

Professional Carpet Cleaning Birmingham Street cleaning is an occupation performed by special teams of employees who can be employed by the city or by independent cleaning companies. Thanks to such people, it is possible to bring the streets to the correct look both after car accidents and after lightning discharges. It happens very often that as a result of heavy rainfall and storm, a large number of branches and leaves fall on the streets and advertisements that have been cut off from the trees, and then they have to be removed before traffic can be restored. A similar situation occurs after road accidents. Although road builders appear as the first places on the scene, the cleaning crews can take care of even more thorough cleaning of the street.

PARIS, May 10 (Reuters) - Artists at one of the most-visited hubs of contemporary art in Paris are in a battle with city hall to preserve the status quo at their “aftersquat”, where visitors can freely view 30 painters and sculptors in the throes of the creative process. The artists, who have travelled from as far away as Japan and the United States to set up in the former illegal squat, say a plan to reduce the number of permanent workshops in order to have more artists move through will kill the family spirit of the site, now leased and legal for several years. Six floors of rooms showcasing the eclectic creators and their work are accessible from a spiral central staircase, spattered with paint in psychedelic colours that stands out from the building’s nondescript Haussmanian exterior.

The queue function on the website is the estimated time before a slot is available to search for tickets, based on the length of time patrons at the front of the queue are taking to complete their transaction. At the beginning of the onsale, patrons have spent only a minute or so on their transaction, even if it's incomplete, and therefore the average wait time is very low. As patrons take the usual four or five minutes to complete transactions, the wait time will go up as the number of people in the queue ahead of you is multiplied by the time to complete transactions. Obviously, as you get closer to the front of the queue, the time will typically drop but may vary. Once you reach the front of the queue, the system will look for tickets for you. There is, however, no guarantee that patrons in front of you in the queue may not have exhausted the allocation. Please don't be concerned about variations in the wait time, this is part of the normal functioning of the website and doesn't affect your place in that queue.

This website is designed to contain up-to-date news and information about the issues facing penguins in their natural habitat, specifically the African Penguin. Penguins feed at or near the top of food chains in many ecosystems and so are sensitive to alterations in the marine habitat. They are also highly visible, enigmatic birds which, as a family, have a circum-global distribution within the southern hemisphere. However, many of the world's 18 penguin species are facing threats to their existence. In 2010, 11 species were considered of conservation concern and five of these, including the African Penguin, were listed as Endangered in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The threats facing penguins are not unique, but generally represent more widespread impacts by man on the marine environment or its islands. Measures to protect threatened penguins, such as the African Penguin, if implemented through holistic, ecosystem-based measures, will also be advantageous to the health of the wider marine environment and the other species that inhabit it. In other words, penguins are ambassadors of marine biodiversity: they should be seen as flagship species for conservation, with their fate representing that of many of the world's marine ecosystems and organisms.

Anderson’s disease is also known as chylomicron retention disease which is a rare hereditary disease. It is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by low plasma lipid and low lipid-soluble vitamins (such as vitamin E and vitamin D). After the digestion of food, lipids, and lipid soluble vitamins are absorbed in the human body with the help of chylomicrons. A lack of chylomicron can interrupt the transport of molecules from intestine to the bloodstream resulting in malabsorption. Subjects with these disorders show different clinical manifestations which were initially described by Anderson and colleagues, hence it was called as “Anderson’s disease”. Genotyping has revealed that Anderson's and chylomicron retention disease are in fact the same disease. Anderson' disease and chylomicron retention disease is the same disease which has been proved genotypically. The disease is caused by the mutation in the gene SAR1B (formerly SARA2), which encodes the SAR1B protein. Mutation results in the defect in chylomicron secretion, a transport protein. A lack of transport of dietary lipids from the intestine to the bloodstream causes malabsorption, which is the main characteristic of the disorder. Malabsorption syndrome with steatorrhea and growth retardation is usually seen in chylomicron retention disease. Chylomicrons are the transport lipids that primarily involved in carrying of dietary lipids such as triglyceride-rich lipoproteins which are secreted generally from the enterocytes. It is produced in the endoplasmic reticulum of the absorptive cells (enterocytes) of the small intestine. These large lipoproteins range from 700 to 6000 Å size which contains a single molecule of apolipoprotein (apo) B-48. It is a sole molecule, essential for chylomicron structure organization. Apo B-100 is different which is found within very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) secreted by the liver and in low-density lipoprotein (LDL), a catabolic product of VLDL. It is rarely diagnosed in infants presenting with failure to thrive and chronic diarrhea. Malabsorption syndrome with steatorrhea and growth retardation is usually seen in chylomicron retention disease. Steatorrhea is the excretion of abnormal quantities of fat with the feces owing to reduced absorption of fat by the intestine. If not treated, it can cause subsequent neurological impairment. Neurological signs, although variable, consisting most frequently of a loss of reflexes. There is little acanthocytosis (red blood cells appear like thorny), hypocholesterolemia, hypotriglyceridemia, lipid malabsorption, diarrhea, retinitis pigmentosa, and spinocerebellar degeneration are negative of chylomicron retention disease. Chylomicron retention disease is usually caused by gene mutations, particularly in the SAR1B gene. The SAR1B gene has instruction for Sar1b protein, which is involved in chylomicron transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. In fact, Sar1-GTP forms a coating protein complex with two heterodimers Sec23/24 and Sec 13/31, which initiates budding and captures cargo to eject vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. SAR1B gene mutations impair the release of chylomicrons into the bloodstream. A lack of chylomicrons in the blood prevents dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins from being used by the body, leading to the nutritional and developmental problems seen in people with chylomicron retention disease. Why Is It Referred To As Autosomal Recessive Pattern? Chylomicron retention disease is a good example for inherited autosomal recessive pattern. The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition typically do not show any signs or symptoms of the condition. To have an autosomal recessive disorder, entities must inherit two mutated genes, one from each parent. These conditions are commonly passed on by two carriers. Their health is not often pretentious, but they have one mutated gene (recessive gene) and one normal gene (dominant gene) for the condition. With each pregnancy, two carriers have a 25 percent chance of having an unaffected child with two normal genes, a 50 percent chance of having an unaffected child who is also a carrier and a 25 percent chance of having an affected child with two recessive genes.

The 6th essential to optimal health and wellness is to remove chemical stress. Our bodies are constantly bombarded with toxins from the food we eat, the air we breathe, household cleaners, personal care products etc. In order for us to achieve optimal health and to get the greatest benefit from our weekly spinal re-engineering adjustments we must remove these toxins. Of course we want to limit the intake of toxins by eating right and using better products, but it is impossible to avoid 100% of them. That’s why we recommend doing the Maximized Living daily detox or the Standard Process 21 day cleanse twice a year.
