Some individuals are not a very good fan of surgical treatment because of the scars they might cause like dark spots, wrinkles, etc. and sometimes even the cost of the surgeries can be very expensive. Due to this people tend to opt for non-surgical treatments. Let us take a look at some of the popularly used treatments available. Dry needling is where they stick sterile needles at certain pressure points on your body. The pressure points including or targets rather the muscle points. Look at here now if you are looking for dry needling. Another needle method is acupuncture. Acupuncture focuses pressure points called Chi. Chi points are points that it connected with the flow of the body. You can find this treatment at a local Ballarat osteopathic clinic. Many individuals worry about their aging skin and the formation of wrinkles and lines on the skin. A treatment called Botox is used for this. It is actually an injection. It is injected to muscles that contract and when injected it stops the muscles from contracting and thus the skin remains soft and wrinkle free. Some individuals will have to have additional treatment as the wrinkles tend to appear over time. You will be able to stop the wrinkles as the skin slowly gets used to the relaxation of muscles. This procedure is usually safe and has only a few side effects. This is another treatment to remove lines on faces. It is called the chemical peel where a chemical is applied on the face or where it is necessary (neck or hand). This chemical reacts with the skin and causes the skin to blister. After a while it is peeled off. The old skin is peeled off revealing the new skin under. The new skin is soft and smoother than the old skin that you had. Removal of skin layers is the next treatment which is done by a laser. This treatment is as the name goes laser resurfacing. It can remove very specific layers of skin starting from the surface. It removes the skin layer by layer. The objective of this is reducing wrinkles, reduce skin irregularities, reduce acne scars, etc. Individuals with darks skins and having acne scars may not be a suitable for this treatment or people who have active acne. The risk is minimum to the patient as the heat from the laser is easily absorbed by the skin and the heat very minimum. Remember not all treatments are recommended to everyone because different individuals have different skin conditions. Always check before going ahead. Other factors to consider would be budget, skin sensitivity and effectiveness to your specific skin problem.

8) Electricity – The bill encourages the production of electricity by accelerating development of nuclear and hydropower production. This means that electric production will get a much-needed boost from the government sector. All in all, the 2005 house energy ll hr6 is meant to bring energy legislation to a whole new level. In a nutshell, it intends to make laws that would benefit the country’s energy consumers. This piece of legislation has earned many different reactions from various sectors of the community.

The Question of Origins - Genesis Alive! At one time or another in our lives, people wish to know the why and how our planet and universe came to be. Modern science seems to have gone far out side the limits of reason to embrace a wholly naturalistic view of origins. Are they correct or mistaken? When you see a modern aircraft fly over, you would never question that this technological wonder, a result of wise and thorough planning required Intelligence acting upon matter to fly. But when you see a bird fly by and think to yourself, ‘what a beautiful creature!', what about its origin? Some say birds were self-made by time and accidents, pretty amazing, but is that really true? Like this aircraft, can there really be a 'watch without a watchmaker' in the world of biological life? That’s the topic of this website, so please read on. Beautiful coloring, hardly a result accidents! Looking closely at the coloring of this wood duck, its deep hues and perfect lines, ability to fly, navigate and fuel itself, how could accidents and time paint such a beautiful animal without a guiding hand? All man's best efforts to canvas such an image fall short, so if the concept of evolution is so scientifically sound as many claim it is, shouldn't we be able to understand how evolution works, scientifically? And don't forget, Mr. Wood duck here also has the ability to replicate and repair itself, two things no aircraft can do! According to many science texts, the earth was formed billions of years ago after gasses and matter collected in space and self-assembled into our living planet. Subsequently all the substance forming our rivers, oceans, land mass, atmosphere and minerals all self-sorted into Earth - they say. Can the order, cycles and beauty of this planet truly be explained this way? Or, was there an outside guiding force involved? Think of all the mineral resources available for people to use to make life simpler, safer and more enjoyable here. Isn't it amazing each of these vital resources are distributed quite evenly on each continent? And what about the lack of excess harmful elements (like uranium or arsenic) that would prevent life on earth to thrive? Is earth a combined accident due to the probabilities of time and the vastness of space, or is there more to the story? Now think about it, our Earth suspended and floating in space with a moon at just the right orbit to create tides, without which the oceans would be one big stagnant pond! Space is where the Creator may safely show His creativity and Power without harming people, as below. of Sun, Earth and Moon. Earth enjoys a livable range of temperatures and wind velocities on the surface because of this balance, and, like liquid water, found nowhere else because we have an atmosphere! The Sun and Earth relationship alone is astounding, but adding the Moon to the equation demands that intelligence was involved, there is no other explanation, the mathematical probabilities for all this happening accidentally are just too high. The Moon takes exactly 27.3 days to rotate once and this is exactly how long it take's the moon to orbit earth! This type of motion acts is a built-in gyro that keeps the Moon very stable. The Moon also orbits us in the elliptic.. It also appears nearly the same size of the Sun from our perspective place on earth and provides a great nightlight for Earth. The Moon is 400 times smaller and also 400 times closer to Earth than the Sun is, providing for a perfect eclipse. Old Solar System? Not according to the Moon - we now know it moves away from us about 1.5"/year. If you extrapolate that mathematically, the Moon would have been in close orbit 1 billion years ago! We should be thankful that an Intelligence designed such a perfectly working system for our well being on Earth. (1) See this section for much more information concerning the "Time" issue The Question of Time - Genesis Alive! Our Atmosphere protects us from the Suns harmful rays, and wonderfully provides a reflector for light, otherwise we would standing in darkness like on the moons surface! Watch a meteorite shower some night and consider these deadly projectiles are being evaporated right before your eyes, like a shield from a sci-fi film! Galactic arms should have flown apart thousands of years past. We observe their rate of expansion today, how have they held together over "millions" of years? We are safely away from the active center of our Milky Way Galaxy. Slightly off! This long established dogma, all wrong? Doesn’t this illustrate that secularists are willing to 'believe' whats required to explain their concept of the Universe? Such a faith in the unobservable tells of their true bias and absolute, that is: To understand all nature without need of God. And yet many of those same secularists would reject a belief in God on the basis that He cannot be observed! Even the world's largest particle separator CERN searched for Dark Matter and failed. (2) Interesting enough, at the same time the group announced the isolation of the final particle in the Standard Chart - the Higgins Bosin God Particle. We should be very discerning of these claims and theories we see in the media as they waver back and forth Vs the facts. It should be noted a Peruvian Observatory dared to challenge the prevailing Dogma on Dark Matter, as no American Institution would dare touch the subject. Why is this important? Because in truth, you are living in a Vital and Personal Universe created for you to observe, enjoy and live in. Back to the earth origin story, evolutionists teach ponds formed where various chemicals collected. From these chemicals, parts of biochemical forms spontaneously occurred that led to self-assembly of amino acids (the building block of some proteins, cell material). After more time these amino acids self-assembled into proteins, then cells, the building blocks of life. But wait, the leap from a protein to a cell is like saying we have aluminum and then sprang forth a 747! That’s a small statement about a big thing when we are speaking of life and origins. For more on this topic see - The Question of Complexity - Genesis Alive! From Poisons to complex functioning life? When scientists like Miller attempted to duplicate this process in 1952, they did get acids, more accurately lethal poisons! One observer related: “It has become apparent that organizing simple molecules into assemblies capable of reproducing and evolving is a far greater task than was generally realized during the excitement that followed the experiment”. (1) Note that they added just the right chemicals known in an amino acid to get this compound, but were stopped cold as far as any life-making goes. Now as these stories are told and retold with artist conceptions of self-making life, cell's start springing from the textbook pages and into our minds as a “probable” explanation's that eventually become beliefs. Such experiments have long been suspended as failures. The "unlocking" videos below offer an excellent overview and conclusion of the origin of life question. See The Question of Complexity - Genesis Alive! for more on this topic. We invite you to continue in our study in Origins through this site. Thank you and may you find satisfaction in your quest for truth!

The main boat ramp over at Soda Canyon Complex is just out of the water. Boaters are still able to launch from the ramp as well as from the shore. San Carlos Lake is at about 4% water level. Was browsing another social media site for more recent pictures and so saddened to see such a major fish kill - really like the entire shoreline of dead fish. At this point, it's gone. It sure seemed to happen quickly this year people catching fish in May still and just drop quicker than I expected. I'm amazed it came back as well as it did as fishing this winter/spring was good and that was 4 years (?) since the last drain I think. That is sad, I know Piscolli tried to wade through the BS on minimum pools talking to all sorts of people and never got a straight answer several years ago. The tribe has been suing everyone up stream at no cost to them to get more water but they would rather sell it to the farms down stream than keep a decent pool in the lake for recreation. Amazing thing there is CAP water that can be tapped and used down stream near Florence and leave a pool of safe water in the lake. Need to find an endangered species in the lake and then have the US fish and wildlife service come in and set up some rules.

Through Our Looking Glass carries original, creative projects—writing, illustration, photography, etc.—produced by the many imaginative and artistic students at Henry Ford College. Abstract - My goal in writing and presenting about Urban Farming in Detroit is to show how diverse the urban farming initiative is within the city. I would like my audience to understand the farming history of Detroit, and see that Detroit has turned to gardens throughout the city’s history to sustain itself in the greatest times of need. I was able to visit different initiatives, and communicate over emails to urban farmers in the area. The internet and Facebook also played a role in searching out businesses and urban farmers in Detroit. ABSTRACT - Like other immigrants across the globe, Detroit’s Automotive industry was a huge magnet in bringing Arab American immigration to Detroit. Many Arabs who immigrated to the United States faced linguistic, cultural, and social barriers. Beginning as a small store front connecting Arab immigrants with resources in the United States, today the Arab Community Center for Economic and Social Services, has expanded to offer nearly 100 programs with a budget of $23 million. ABSTRACT - Neurocriminology is a subdiscipline of neuroscience and criminology which provides evidence that while violent behavior has a social and environmental element, the other side of the coin is biology. This re-visioning of violent criminals could potentially help direct how we approach crime prevention and rehabilitation. Criminal behavior can be caused by life experience and by genetic inheritance. This paper shines a light on evidence that physical trauma to the brain and genetically inherited abnormalities of the brain can be the cause of violent behavior. ABSTRACT - This project looks at Charlotte Mason Community School (CMCS), a small K-8 school in Detroit whose students are thriving under a unique educational approach. It will briefly examine the state of public education in the city and how it came to be in crisis. We will look at a philosophy of education used by this Detroit school and founded in England at the turn of the 20th century when education for the masses was primarily utilitarian. ABSTRACT - A bacteriophage, or phage for short, is a virus that infects bacteria. They are organisms that have played and continue to play a key role in bacterial genetics and molecular biology. Being the most prevalent types of viruses, bacteriophages vary a lot in their shape and genetic material. In the process of hijacking a cell, the virus recognizes and binds to a host cell via a receptor molecule on the cell surface then the virus or its genetic material enters the cell. The viral genome is copied and its genes are expressed to make viral proteins.

All Soul’s Day is the time of year that Catholics believe that we on earth pray for those departed loved ones who have yet to be cleansed of venial sins. Venial sins, like not going to church, then lying about it to Grandma. Putting shaving cream on someone’s car on Halloween. Or believing in astrology. If someone is not cleansed of their venial sins, then after death they remain in Purgatory and cannot see Heaven. Unless, of course, their loved ones on earth give them a hand. Now, I’m not a good Catholic. But I am a competent astrologer. All of this lore is appropriate to the realm of Scorpio, the sign in which the Sun travels at this time of year every year. So, during the time of Halloween spooks and praying for the dead, the main source of energy in our solar system travels through an area of the cosmos associated with those very subjects. And if you notice, it is a time of year when the Sun begins to die – meaning the hours of sunlight decrease and the days grow shorter (in the northern hemisphere). Death, life after death, death after life and what happens when we die. It’s a time to ponder all of those questions. I was out to dinner the other evening and I heard a story. A woman told of her sister who, in nursery school, had a flashback to a past life. She flipped back and remembered being a man in a war in a foreign country and getting killed. Later in her life she researched the events and was able to confirm them. The woman had a son. As a young child one day he sat up in his crib and cried “I don’t want to go back to war!” Apparently he had a similar experience to his mother. Could it be they each suffered a violent end and came quickly into a new life? Some reincarnationists believe this is the case, when one’s lifetime ends violently one’s soul takes a short time to return to life on earth. A number of years ago I had a friend who had a previous lifetime flashback. She was going to downtown New York City in a taxi with her husband and was gazing out the window. When they reached Soho and she looked up into one of the loft spaces she remembered being there for a party. Only the party was in the 1960’s and she recalled dying of a drug overdose that night at the party. She said she was wearing a glittered dress. She wasn’t the type who went looking for past lifetimes, they didn’t really occur to her. She’s a Capricorn, and if you know anything about them, they’re people of the earth who usually lead regular earthbound lives. She was rather alarmed by her experience. Another violent end to a life, and she came back soon after in 1966.

Apple iOS 11.2.5 is finally here. However, there are a lot of problems being reported by users. This brings up the following question: should you be excited and upgrade? What’s the deal with iOS 11.2.5? The iOS 11.2.5 is standard like any iOS 11. It is compatible with the iphone 5S or later, 6th generation ipod touch or later, as well as the ipod mini 2 or later. How do you update to iOS 11.2.5? Apple usually lets you know to update. But if this doesn’t happen, then you can manually do it by going to Setting (on your device) →General →Software Update. What are the negatives of this iOS? There are a number of different problems with this new iOS, including ringtone bugs, lockscreen issues, degraded WiFi, and so forth. Even though there are a few improvements, there’s still nothing essential about the new release. What do you think? For more information read the following article: Apple iOS 11.2.5 Release: Should You Upgrade? Apple released iOS 11.2.2 upgrade. With the upgrade emerged what many are calling the worst feature. However, for some it has become the best feature. A number of users have reported that the iOS 11.2.2 has resulted in performance slowdowns. In some cases, the benchmark shows drops of over 50 percent. Others, however, have reported the opposite. They have witnessed the exact opposite of slowdowns— claiming that the iOS 11.2.2 has been speeding up their devices by as much as 30 percent. No one really knows why this dramatic differentiation has occurred. Though it is clear that the two sets of users were in very different situations before updating. The people hit by slowdowns had iPhones running at full capacity, while those whose iphones have sped up were already suffering problems. Strange, isn’t it? Some blame the occurrence on Apple’s important Spectre mitigations. Others blame it on the iPhone battery throttling. At least, now those who upgrade to iOS 11.2.2 will enjoy their nice speed.

Informed by the expansive vision of pioneering choreographer Martha Graham, the Company brings to life a timeless and uniquely American style of dance that has influenced generations of artists and continues to captivate audiences. Graham and her Company have expanded contemporary dance’s vocabulary of movement and forever altered the scope of the art form by rooting works in contemporary social, political, psychological, and sexual contexts, deepening their impact and resonance. Always a fertile ground for experimentation, Martha Graham Dance Company has been an unparalleled resource in nurturing many of the leading choreographers and dancers of the 20th and 21st centuries, including Merce Cunningham, Erick Hawkins, Pearl Lang, Pascal Rioult, and Paul Taylor. Graham’s repertoire of 181 works has also engaged noted performers such as Mikhail Baryshnikov, Claire Bloom, Margot Fonteyn, Liza Minnelli, Rudolf Nureyev, Maya Plisetskaya, and Kathleen Turner. Her groundbreaking techniques and unmistakable style have earned the Company acclaim from audiences in more than 50 countries throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. This engagement is supported by the Arts Midwest Touring Fund, a program of Arts Midwest, which is generously supported by the National Endowment for the Arts with additional contributions from the Indiana Arts Commission. Additional support provided by the Arts Council of Indianapolis and Frank N. and Patricia L. Owings.

Non-profit entities pursue a fundamentally different mission than their for-profit relatives, which is characterized as a providing a socially beneficial service to society. There are no shareholders and any surplus in funding must be reinvested into the organization’s core mission. Despite these traits, it is still crucial for non-profits to maintain highly controlled accounting policies and ensure that safe financial management policies are followed at all times. The following essay will compare and contrast the effects of the following topics on nonprofit organizations: ethics, capital budgeting, strategic planning, financial ratios, EFN, and cash flow statements. As an example, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) will be used to demonstrate the importance of financial topics for a well-known non-profit organization. The primary purpose of a non-profit organization is to provide a beneficial service to society. In order to achieve a socially responsible goal, it is crucial that the organization places a high importance on the topic of ethics. In many cases, non-profits receive a large portion of their financing from 3rd party donors that wish to support the organization’s mission. Managers of the organization have the responsibility to ensure that donations are used in a highly ethical manner. The mission of the ASPCA is stated as “to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States” (ASPCA 2014). The organization leaders are obligated to use donated funds to support this mission the most effective way possible. Using this funding for excessive management salaries or unnecessary discretionary projects would be a violation of accepted ethical standards. Following high ethical standards is of utmost importance in a non-profit because the mission is often centered on making social progress. Both nonprofits and for-profit firms can take a similar approach to capital budgeting. They each use measurements like NPV, IRR, and discounted cash flow to measure the viability of a certain project. However, nonprofits have the luxury of being able to select projects with lower returns because they do not need to generate returns for shareholders. They also receive preferential tax breaks and special debt financing programs that significantly reduce the weighted average cost of capital. Another key difference in capital budgeting for nonprofit firms is restricted assets. Donors have the ability to place contractual restrictions on the use of certain assets to ensure they are used for the intended project. For example, a donor may provide $1 million for the construction of a new ASPCA facility, but restricts this donation to solely this project. This will provide the nonprofit with additional cash, but it must receive special accounting treatment and could change capital budgeting outcomes. Nonprofits must contend with a variety of risks and environmental factors that could affect their pursuit of the stated purpose. Unlike for-profit firms, a strategic goal will never be related to profit maximization. Instead, a nonprofit is likely to pursue strategic goals related to the growth of donations, human resources, asset acquisitions, etc. In order to plan for these goals, it is common for nonprofits to use tools like a SWOTT analysis or balanced scorecard (Friskics 2011). The ASPCA could use these tactics to identify its strengths and weaknesses to develop strategies that complement its mission. If the organization experiences a trend of declining donations, it may be financially beneficial to spend on television advertisements that inspire new donors to participate. Overall, the use of the strategic planning tools can be applied to nonprofits with equal effectiveness to that of for-profit firms. Financial ratios play an important role in the financial management tactics of nonprofits, which must remain solvent and financially viable to pursue their goals. Perhaps the most important financial ratios are those dealing with liquidity and cash flow. If a non-profit is unable to maintain positive working capital, meaning current assets exceeding current liabilities, it runs the risk of becoming insolvent. Nonprofits in this situation may be forced close their doors and liquidate assets to pay creditors. Monitoring the current ratio and acid test ratio can help organizations determine their relative liquidity and risk of becoming insolvent. An important difference, however, is that restricted assets must be treated differently. Having a large amount of restricted cash will not necessarily be able to save an organization from liquidity issues. “The stronger the restrictions on a grant, or the greater the fixity of assets acquired with that grant or loan, the higher the risk to the organization” (Miller 2003). Having a larger amount of restricted assets on the books presents a higher risk to potential donors and lenders. Operational costs can eat away at the assets of a nonprofit firm, which requires the use of external financing to continue working towards the primary mission. The ASPCA has a great deal of overhead to run the facilities that provide services to prevent the suffering of animals. Debt financing can be used to ensure that these facilities remain operational even during times of lower cash flow. Nonprofits can look at total receipts from operations and total donations to determine cash inflow. This amount can be compared to the growth in assets and liabilities on the statement if financial position to calculate the need for external financing. In the context of nonprofits, debt financing is usually not ideal because donated funds do not require repayment of any financial return. Therefore, debt financing is typically used as a safety net to ensure working capital needs are covered. Positive cash flow is essential for the long-term survival of a nonprofit organization. This becomes especially true where there are significant overhead costs to cover each period; such is the case with the ASPCA. The purpose of the statement of cash flow is to show which activities are producing cash inflows and cash outflows. This gives managers an effective tool to determine the most effective ways to limit cash expenditures and grow cash receipts. In addition, it allows donors to see how the organization’s cash is being managed and decided if it is acceptable based on their personal standards. For example, some ASCPA donors may want to see their donations being used on marketing and promotion, while other donors may want to see cash being used to create new facilities for housing orphaned animals. Any perceived cash flow imbalances can be used as a decision making tool for users of financial statements. Although it is not required by law to be released publically, many non-profits voluntarily cash flow statements to the general public. In the big picture, nonprofits face very similar financial issues to for-profit companies. Both types of entities must set high ethical standards, maintain positive cash flow, and engage in strategic planning. The key difference is that the primary stakeholders have contrasting requirements. For-profit firms are required to generate financial returns for owners, while non-profits are required to pursue their stated purpose and effectively manage donated funds. The ASCPA highlights these differences by working towards a mission that is not profit-driven, but rather driven by the social demands of society. In summary, the nonprofits serve an important role in American society by working to improve many underserved community issues. ASPCA. (2014). ASPCA Policy and Position Statements. Friskics, K.

Simple Guidelines to Follow When Boarding a Pet! Although you may prefer to take your pet with you wherever you go, sometimes it isn’t practical. Emergencies sometimes happen, and it’s essential that you know what to do and where to go if you need to board your pet. Here are some guidelines. If you decide to board your pet, choose a facility that suits your pet. Some dog kennels offer resort services, such as training, group playtime and grooming, while others restrict dogs to individual kennels except for scheduled exercise with staff. Some facilities offer cats space to move around, while others confine them to cages near barking dogs. Don’t rely on recommendations or phone calls. Visit boarding facilities well in advance before you need them. If you know what’s available nearby, you are prepared when travel emergencies arise. Be sure the areas where the pets are boarded look and smell clean. Check the availability of fresh water and the facility’s sanitation procedures. Be sure the kennel requires immunization of all residents. Pets sometimes wander off to look for their absent owners.

For whatever reason, there’s been a great deal of talk recently about some research done in the 1970s by Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman. It’s been discussed in Predictably Irrational and Nudge as well as in numerous articles/blog posts. How does this apply to investing? One thing that they showed in their research is that people aren’t very good at estimating the probability of various outcomes. Unless we have actual statistical data in front of us, our brains use the following method for estimating the probability of an event: We ask ourselves “How easy it is to come up with real-world examples of such an event occurring?” The easier it is to come up with examples, the more probable we assume the event to be. Recent events are much more fresh in our minds. As a result, we tend to assume that a reoccurance is far more likely than it really is. Dramatic events are impressed quite vividly upon our memories. As a result, it’s very easy to access those memories, making us therefore assume that such events are more probable than they really are.

A surgical tech program is a great opportunity for those who want to get into the medical field. The surgical tech program is not only a great path to take on its own, but it is also a strong foundation for those who wish to further their career path in the medical industry. More states are requiring surgical techs to graduate from a CAAHEP (Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs) or ABHES (Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools) certified program. Although the length of the programs may vary, the national requirements are changing. Some of these changes include the need for all medical personnel to have an AAS, not just a certificate. A surgical tech program must prepare students to take the national exam. The exam gives graduates the ability to work anywhere in the U.S. Some states, such as Tennessee, require more training after a graduate has earned their Surgical Technologist certification. Surgical technologists must complete 60 continuing education credits every four years, as outlined by the Association of Surgical Technologists (AST). The Senate Bill 623, signed by Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam, is intended to keep medical practices up-to-date and help regulate operating room protocols. According to AORN (Association of periOperative Registered Nurses), this bill not only affects surgical techs, but also the perioperative nurses they work with. Surgical techs are the nuts and bolts of the operating room. These techs are responsible for sterilizing all tools and equipment, ordering supplies, assisting the surgical team during pre-op and providing patient care before and after the procedure. Within the surgical environment, surgical techs have the opportunity to advance to first assistant and second assistant. These roles place techs at the operating table, and assisting the doctors and nurses with duties such as clamping and suturing. Once the tech gains operating room experience, it may be easier to become a nurse in the same environment. Many continuing education courses can help the surgical tech with all of the necessary schooling they need to advance their career. The key is finding the surgical tech program that is right for you. Make sure the program explains the ongoing requirements needed, according to Tennessee law, and ensure that they can answer all of your specific questions. It is also important to speak with the program's instructors to see how much experience they have in the field.

Do You Know About The Performance Triad™? What if you were able to achieve that same sense of fulfillment and satisfaction every day for the rest of you life instead of for just relatively short durations? You can. You can start right now by first understanding the elements of the Performance Triad and then by dedicating yourself to building your own personal culture of extreme high performance that optimizes it in every thing you do. To demonstrate how the Performance Triad works we will use what fire fighters call the fire triangle as a metaphor. Three things must be present to have a fire. First, a fire needs fuel. For our example let’s use a piece of paper. Then it needs oxygen to help it burn. Finally it needs heat. So lets place our piece of paper outside on the sidewalk where there is plenty of oxygen and also heat from the sun. Just having the three elements present does not guarantee a fire. In our case, the piece of paper could sit in the sun all day and never burst into flame. But, if we take a magnifying glass and focus the sun’s rays on the piece of paper, it will begin to burn. As soon as you take away any one of the elements of fuel, oxygen or heat, the flame will extinguish. Your personal Performance Triad is like fire. Passion is your fuel generic prozac. Your ability to innovate and think for yourself, your free will is like oxygen. And total dedication and focus is your heat. When you study how top performing individuals achieve success you will find that they have developed a personal culture that optimizes those three elements of the Performance Triad every day. In the real world, you will be bombarded by people and situations who try intentionally or unintentionally take away your passion, free will or your focus to prevent you from achieving your dreams. You must not allow that to happen! Fortunately, you can tap into that inner extreme life person and put yourself on the right track to optimize your Performance Triad. It takes work, dedication and a strong desire, but you can do it! And we are here to help.

I am doing an experiment for my science project. I am determining what effects potassium will have on the growth of garden spinach (potassium is used in halophytes so they can survive in saline soils), and to complete this experiments I will need to put these spinach seedlings in an environment that is salty, but not too salty so that they die. The problem is, is that I don't know the perfect level of salt and was wondering if you could help me. Comments for How much salt is too much? Hi Thea, this is one of those questions that's almost impossible to give an answer to. So much depends on the type of soil you're going to use, and also, the volume of it. I would do some testing before you get started. Spinach seeds are cheap, so get a package, and some of the same soil you're planning on using for the experiment. Measure the soil into pots that are all the same size, to give you a good baseline. I would mix some salt into warm water and measure that out too - starting with one pot, give it a measured amount of the salty water, and each pot, increase the amount. To make sure you don't just water log the soil, measure out the salty water into some clear water so they all get the same amount of moisture. I would start with something like a tablespoon of salt to a cup of warm water, mix that to disperse the salt, and then put one tablespoon of the salty water into a cup measure, add water to make one cup. Then the second pot, double it and so on. Five pots should give you enough to determine the right level. Stick five or six seeds in each pot, and put them all in the same place, temperature and light should all be the same. Keep records of it all! Good luck with it. Thanks you so much Jacki!!!

Chronic absenteeism (students with 15+ absences) has been a focus for the schools along the Leeward Coast. The percentage of chronic absenteeism at school along the Leeward Coast has historically been above the State level percentages. Based on the STRIVE HI data, Leihoku Elementary has had an increase in chronic absentee percentage from the 2013-2014 school year. Attending school on a regular basis has been shown to have positive impacts on academic achievement and development of self and other skills to be successful later in life. Therefore, the Counseling Department at Leihoku Elementary recognizes decreasing chronic absenteeism as a targeted goal. During the 2015-2016 school year, Leihoku Elementary had a new School Social Worker (SSW) who came in weekly to discuss attendance cases. In addition, the SSW met with families and provided them with interventions to prevent a high number of absences. However, the SSW assisted with the high end cases where the students were either approaching 15 absences or had already exceeded 15 absences. For the 2017-2018 school year, the SSW and the Counselors have been closely monitoring 5 cases from the 2016-2017 school year. The SSW and Counselors have been in contact with these families from the start of the school in hopes of improving these students’ attendance rates. In addition, the Counselors have been checking in with these students daily. In addition to working closely with the SSW, Na Pueo, an attendance club continues to work with 5th and 6th students who have 15 or more absences. During the 2016-2017 school year, there was a total fifteen 5th and 6th grade students in the club. Of those fifteen students, 8 had lower than 15 absences. However, all fifteen students’ attendance had improved from the previous school year. 6 of the 15 students are still in the Na Pueo club, with 5 additional students to the club. During the 2016-2017 school year, the club met weekly. During the weekly sessions, the students made attendance goals for the school year and planned a service learning project for the school. During the first semester, the club researched and planned a canned good drive for the school. The donations were taken to the Hawaii Food Bank. During the second semester, the students engaged in activities as an incentive during the meetings. The club continues to work closely with these students weekly. Based on the perception survey, 10 out of 15 students met their attendance goal for the 2016-2017 school year. Also, 10 out of 15 students had a plan to meet their goal. Therefore, for the 2017-2018 school year, the students not only created an annual attendance goal, but was also broken down quarterly during a one on one session with the Counselor. The students also conferenced with the Counselor following an absence to discuss the obstacles from coming to school and created plan to continually improve their attendance. Students were also given an incentive for having perfect attendance weekly. For the 2017-2018 school year, the students in the Na Pueo club will be held more accountable for their attendance by checking in with an advisor daily. The goal for the 2017-2018 school year, is for the students to discover their interests and begin to set career goals for the first semester and a student led service learning project during the second semester. In addition to working with the SSW and the implementation of the Na Pueo club, Leihoku Elementary now has an Attendance Clerk. The Attendance Clerk meets with the SSS and the Counselors weekly. The Attendance Clerk also calls and meets with parents regarding attendance prior to students having 5 absences and continually touch basis with the families regarding student attendance. The Attendance Clerk also conferences with students following an absence. Goal: By the end of school year 2016-2017, the number of chronically absent students (students with 15+ absences) will decrease by 5% from 295 students to 280 students. Target Group: Fifiteen 5th and 6th grade students who had 15+ absences during the 2015-2016 school year. Data Used to Identify Students: End of the year attendance data from the 2015-2016 school year. Outcome Data (Achievement, attendance, and/or behavior data): Attendance data at the end of the 2016-2017 school year. Implications: Students in the group's attendance improved during the first semester because students were excited to plan the service learning project. Therefore, for the 2017-2018 school year, students will do daily check-ins with a Na Pueo (attendance) club advisor and have individual sessions with the Counselor monthly regarding their attendances and obstacles preventing them from coming to school. In addition, the students will plan another service learning project, but during the spring. They are also expected to create a quarterly attendance goal in addition to an annual goal.

BANGI, 13 February 2019 – Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) through the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment (FKAB) is the first university that has filed the intellectual property which is the determination of the mobile direction of the mobile with the latest innovation named InnoQibla. InnoQibla was created by a group of researchers led by Prof. Madya Ir. Dr. Norhana Arsad of the Centre of Advanced Electronic and Communication Engineering (PAKET), FKAB. Prof. Madya Ir. Dr. Norhana said they create the technology in 2012 after looking at the existing method of work done by the Malaysia Islamic Affairs Department (JAKIM) in determining the direction of the Qibla in the mosque (surau) of the FKAB administration building. “From that, we start the research and has developed a prototype that moves the Qibla direction from the outside into the building using the laser. This research project has received several funds, including the UKM Innovation Fund managed by the Centre for Innovative Collaborative (PIK),” she said. She said the InnoQibla innovation who used Microelectromechanical technology (MEMS) to locate the true north according to the rotation of the earth. The direction along the surface of the earth towards the geographical North Pole was created to facilitate the JAKIM and the State Mufti Department in marking the direction of the inner Qibla. “Previously, the measurement and marking of the direction of the Qibla was carried out in the field through the use of a theodolite with the solar observation method. “This system is designed not to override the science of falaq and theodolite, which has a high level of accuracy, but it is seen as an alternative in the process of searching the Qibla direction that is faster and easier,” she explained. Prof. Madya Ir. Dr. Norhana explained that InnoQibla only takes about 10 minutes to determine the direction of the Qibla while existing methods will take time depending on the current weather. She added, the mobile phone application and compass are easily disrupted by the electromagnetic field and causes it to move not in real direction. “The accurate reading of the direction of the Qibla is very important because the deflection of one degree from the direction of determination in Malaysia can cause a deflection of 122 kilometres from the true position of the Kaaba,” she explained. She said InnoQibla’s products are in collaboration with JAKIM and the Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia (JUPEM) for the validation of the direction of the Qibla in line with the use of theodolites and have been tested in three selected locations namely Penang, Kelantan and Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. “The results are very satisfying both parties (JAKIM and JUPEM). Three more field trials will be conducted in Sabah, Sarawak and Johor soon as required by the authorities,” she added. The design has been successfully commercialized through technology licensing to Istidamah Resources Sdn Bhd company through UKM Technology Sdn Bhd with the help of PIK.

This is the commonest cause of female infertility locally. Tubes may be blocked following sexually transmitted infections (STIs), other pelvic infections, or even after pelvic surgery. Tests to check the tubes are easily available. Menopause signifies the end of natural reproductive potential, but not the end of sexual activities. The inevitable hormonal changes in the menopause have consequential effects on the functioning of the genital system. Women and their partners will thus experience new changes in sexual function, which may sometimes interfere with sexual enjoyment and satisfaction. There’s a common misconception that men retain their fertility potential for almost a lifetime. Nothing could be further from reality. Men suffer from a similar decline in fertility as much as their women counterparts. The dual age-related fertility decline is a natural phenomenon, thus skewed blame of women in matters of fertility should be avoided. Your doctor too may get to a point where they are no longer interested in your custom. They may be getting too busy, and looking to filter out some patients from their practice. They may find you unwanted for other seemingly simple reasons. May be you are too demanding, or a hypochondriac who annoyingly keeps consulting for mundane reasons.

The minimum never falls under 17ºC and in the hot summer months (December to April) can reach 36ºC. During summer months soft rains are common. The geographical position of the area locates all these beaches of Piura and Tumbes in front of the crossing of the two large water currents: the cold one called Humboldt (coming from South) and the warm Equatorial or current El Niño (from North). The confluence of these two water currents creates an excellent semitropical and dry climate, with an average of 60% relative humidity and more than 300 sunny days in average per year; temperatures ranging from 21º to 34º C, southern moderate winds (more intense in the months between June and October), almost total absence of rain, except in exceptional summers. While on the beaches South of Piura they have a more temperate / desert weather, the beaches to the North of Tumbes (coast of Ecuador) are warmer and very humid. Mancora adopts the best of both climates. One of the best reasons to visit Mancora and/or nearby beaches is its enviable climate, which stays mostly unchanged throughout the year. Thanks to the clash of Humboldt and Equatorial Ocean currents, water temperature varies between summer and winter. In summer (December to April) varies between 22 ° C and 26 ° C and the rest of the year between 18 ° C to 21 ° C. The beaches located south of Cabo Blanco have lower temperatures by being more influenced by the Humboldt Current temperatures. Beaches in this coastal area have white sand and turquoise-blue sea colors. Defined as Equatorial Dry Forest, Mancora has vast lands covered with of carob trees, adopting this way the desert feature which prevails on the Peruvian coast. During the summer rains the desert carobs turn the area green and Mancora looks quite green for a few months. Lightweight clothing, only from May to October it gets bit colder at night. In Mancora´s market you can buy palo santo, a wood that when burnt repels mosquitoes. All these articles can be found in Mancora and nearby villages. 2015 Mancora Hotels and Beach Houses Guide.

Expository essay topics are some of the most straightforward papers that you can ever be asked to write. There is not so much that you have to do other than the obvious. These papers require you to think beyond the things that you see on a daily basis. They require you to exert yourself as you divulge more information about the topic at hand. Without this, there is no way you can be able to discuss a good topic. Coming up with an essay topic on this is simple, though a number of students often tend to find this to be quite the challenge. There should not be anything to challenge you here. You just need to apply yourself into the task and then from there everything else should work out. For elementary students, writing an expository paper requires some deep thought, which perhaps some of them might never have been able to experience in the past. This is why the following ideas will come in handy for you. You need to go on an exploratory mission with your paper, not just assume that things will work themselves out. In as far as exploration is concerned you have to research. You have to dig deep into the title that you have been given and then present a good paper. A good student will understand the need and importance of taking notes. There are only so few things that your brain can remember of its own volition and it is because of this reason that you need to be keen when taking notes. Taking notes will help you have something to look back on when you are working on the paper. This will also make it easier for you to have reference material that will ensure that you get everything right. When you take proper notes, you will be able to get the paper right, and you will also be able to get the structure of the paper right. This is therefore a win-win situation for you. This is the kind of paper that must always have examples. These can either be portrayed as examples in the appendices or you can have them as case studies. Whichever way you decide to work with them, ensure that the examples you choose to work with are on point and help you develop the argument basis of your work.

Lender’s Mortgage Insurance (LMI) is a type of insurance that has been used by millions of Australians who have entered the property market, but it’s a product that isn’t widely understood. So, what is it, when is it used and who is it actually for? LMI is a type of insurance that is generally required when you are buying a home or investment property and you don’t have a large enough deposit. Generally, it kicks in when you are trying to borrow over 80 per cent of the property value. LMI is arranged by the lender during the loan approval process and involves a one-off cost, which can often be added to the loan. The premium, which can be many thousands of dollars, is calculated based on a sliding scale that relates to the value of the property, the percentage of the purchase price being borrowed and the loan amount. However, there are other factors that can impact on the figure, such as the type and location of a property. The biggest misconception about LMI relates to who it actually protects. Although it is paid for by the borrower, its purpose is to protect the lender in the case of a default on the loan. It covers any shortfall that may arise if the lender repossess the property and isn’t able to recover enough money to repay the loan and relevant costs. The clue is in the name. LMI doesn’t benefit the borrower as the borrower would still be liable for a default. LMI should not be confused with Mortgage Protection Insurance, which covers your mortgage repayments in the event of death, sickness, unemployment or disability. Some people believe that LMI is overly expensive, especially when you consider that default rates in Australia, even among first-home buyers, are very small. Another common gripe is the fact that refinancing a loan can trigger LMI, even if it was paid when the original loan was approved. How do you avoid paying LMI? One way is to save enough of a deposit, generally at least 20 percent of the property value. Another way is to have a guarantor, perhaps a family member, provide security to cover an agreed portion of the loan. As different lenders have different criteria and premiums in relation to LMI, it makes sense to consult with a finance broker who can discuss the pro’s and cons of LMI. Borrowers still may choose to pay LMI if it means getting their home or investment sooner, particularly where costs of a rising market may outweigh the time it will take to save a larger deposit.

What will happen to rents in Seaport once GE makes the move? By now you have probably heard that General Electric is moving its corporate headquarters to Boston and is expected to land in the Seaport District. In a neighborhood that has seen a lot of change in the past few years, becoming a hotspot for new developments while also being one of the most expensive places to live in the city, the addition of a major corporation will further shake up the district. We spoke to Ishay Grinberg, president of Rental Beast, an online rental listing service, about what he thinks will change in Seaport’s rental market once a corporate giant like GE hits the ground. Then when demand wasn’t high enough, they plummeted almost 20 percent in 2014, but went back up in 2015, increasing 15 percent to an average of $3,850 per month. Currently, rents are high, but so are vacancies — a rarity for the Boston market. More than 12 percent of all rental units in Seaport are currently vacant, according to Grinberg, while in Downtown only a little more than 2 percent are empty. The Greater Boston vacancy rate is 4 percent. And supply is still coming into Seaport, such as One Seaport Square, will include 832 units. Though rents are not likely to go down, he thinks they can at least stop fluctuating as much as they have in the past few years. Grinberg is also optimistic that a grocery store will soon come to the neighborhood, along with other amenities they have been lacking.

Bleak news for fossil fuels is piling up higher than an icy Washington snowbank in the capital’s most precipitation-challenged state. Peabody Energy, the nation’s biggest coal company, is limping toward bankruptcy after its shares sank 99 percent over the past two years. Arch Coal, the industry’s second-largest player, filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. King Coal is huddling for warmth with down-and-out oil and gas producers. One out of three of the world’s biggest publicly traded companies in those businesses could file for bankruptcy this year, the Deloitte auditing and consulting firm determined. They collectively owe $150 billion in debt. So it’s no wonder that oil, gas, and coal cheerleaders couldn’t control their glee when, only four days before Justice Antonin Scalia’s unexpected death, the Supreme Court issued a stay that put the Clean Power Plan on hold. The Court’s unprecedented move froze the federal government’s most powerful tool for reducing carbon dioxide emissions from the nation’s power plants. Should the Obama administration prevail against the 27 states, Peabody, and the other dirty-energy leaders that are suing over the Clean Power Plan, this policy will expedite the reduction of our nation’s reliance on coal. It’s also designed to boost the amount of electricity generated nationwide by renewable energy — along with natural gas and other options the government wrongly deems to be better for the climate. But the dirty-energy lobby’s elation is already fizzling. The Clean Power Plan now has a 75 percent chance of surviving, says lawyer Brian Potts, who represents companies on environmental regulatory issues. Between the Supreme Court stay and the arch-conservative justice’s death, Potts had pegged the odds of the Clean Power Plan’s enactment at only 10 percent. It’s already hard enough to keep track of this policy’s prospects. But, just like the extreme weather climate change delivers, this outlook is unpredictable. Ultimately, no court can save the oil, gas, and coal industries. Fossil fuels are losing their economic edge over renewable energy alternatives at a time when opposition to their extraction, transportation, and combustion is rising and global markets are dissipating. Meanwhile, these corporations are torpedoing their own financial resilience by overpaying their executives and spending too much on their shareholders’ dividends. The shift toward a greener energy future won’t be cheap. But since continuing to rely on oil, gas, and coal for most of the world’s energy would destroy the planet, we can’t afford not to make this investment. The biggest questions are how long this unavoidable transition will take and whether it can happen fast enough to avert a climate catastrophe. The timing will largely depend on what happens with our political climate. And just like recent weather in our capital city, where a rapid temperature spike made five inches of snow vanish in a single morning, our political climate is pretty volatile.

The current workaround for changing the style (mostly the shape ) should be changed so you can select the shape from the menu. Hello @Tomek_Jasinski, in case of story blocks it is only possible to delete shapes manually and to insert new ones using the Insert-Shapes menu in the top toolbar. Similarly when editing topic covers, first you’ll need to right click on the topic circle and select Advanced topic editing. Then from the top toolbar, you’ll be able to insert any shape you like to replace the circle. If you need further assistance with this, feel free to reach out, I’d be happy to help. Yes i found that workaround. But why isn’t this just a function. I saw a post from 2017 asking the same. The current workaround takes a lot of time. Hello @Tomek_Jasinski, I apologize for any inconvenience and will forward your feedback to the developers.

Durability. The biggest benefit of a metal roof is the fact that it lasts for an extremely long time. Most asphalt or clay roofs need to be replaced or at least refurbished at some point. However, it's very possible that you could own your metal roof for decades. In fact, it may be the only roof your home ever needs. Many metal roof manufacturers back up their durability claims by offering warranties that last for decades or even for your lifetime. No maintenance. A common problem with asphalt shingles is that the shingles or flashing can come loose over time. When they do, you have to get up there and either nail them back down or replace them altogether. If you don't, then water could leak into your home and destroy the house's structure. With a metal roof, there are no shingles to come loose. There's also no flashing or areas where water can seep into the structure. When water hits the roof, it just runs down to the gutters. That means you don't have to worry about making small repairs on a regular basis. Style options. Many people assume that a metal roof will be unattractive. However, metal roofing materials come in a wide range of color and appearance options. In fact, you can get a metal roof that mimics the appearance of shingles, tiles, or cedar. You can have the appearance of a traditional roof without the maintenance and durability issues. Energy efficiency. Finally, metal roofs keep heat out of your home. They reflect sunlight and solar heat away from your house, which keeps the attic and upper areas of the house cool during the summer. This is in stark contrast to shingles, which actually absorb much of the sun's heat. That means that your air conditioning unit has to work harder to get that hot air out of your home.

Weight loss is such a hot topic these days that it’s shrouded under layers of controversy and pseudo-science, also known as “bro science”. This is because of numerous factors. Some of which could be things such as the existence of a plethora of information on the internet, which is not always guaranteed to be scientifically correct, or untrained trainers who plague their students with wrong or even harmful information. Within the article, we will take a look into the different factors that play a role in weight loss. These factors include things like nutritional plans, working out and complimentary supplements. The discussion will shed some light on what seems to be a complex subject and to bring you closer to your goal, which is weight loss. We will explain why is it important to be strict and diligent with your weight loss plan and why each element is important to track. Even though “bro-science” scatters information around and makes it incredibly hard for anyone to have clear information, most fitness aficionados and experts would agree that the main factor in weight loss is an effective, consistent and disciplined diet. To fully grasp this concept, we need to look at the main factor for weight loss, which is “Calorie Intake”. For those who don’t know, a calorie is a measurement for the amount of energy you gain from anything you consume or drink. During weight loss, one should reach to where the calorie intake of the day should be at a deficit. This state causes the human body to take energy from other sources to maintain the needed energy levels. These sources include things such as stored fats and existing muscle. In theory, we lose muscle during the weight loss process because it is relatively easy to burn muscle rather than fat. Yet, there are methods in order to minimize the damage. The first step anyone should take during fat loss would be to organize a nutritional plan that is aimed towards creating a calorie deficit. Another crucial factor in weight loss is one’s body type. You should be aware of the amount of calories needed to stay at a deficit. This could be done by visiting your physician or also by using a BMI (body mass index) calculator that will give you this information. There are many dietary systems one can follow. I would suggest that you visit your physician to find what suits your body type and your metabolism. As mentioned before, a risk in the weight loss process is the loss of muscle . As a result, you should add a sport of some kind or ideally, a weightlifting routine that would not only accelerate the fat burning process but also retain and even build some muscle. This is a very important part of the weight loss plan. If ignored, you might get results in the weight-loss department but you will be risking your aesthetics. An important tip for this would be to pick a suitable workout regime for your pursuit. The usual advice would be to not really work for strength gains because you will be on a calorie deficit and it will be unsafe and detrimental for your health. Rather one should use a routine that is mid to low maintenance and depends on high repetitions and low weights. Also, it would help shape your new physique and bring you closer to a new aesthetic look; not to mention the other health benefits. Also, cardio would be an intelligent addition to your routine and would help with fat burning. A few good routines that could also help would be swimming, which was mentioned by world renowned bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger. Other options would be jumping rope and of course, running. All of these would help accelerate the process of weight loss. Thanks to new advancements in medical technology, we have newer supplements that aid in both muscle building and fat loss. One of the supplements that aid in fat loss are things like fat burners and other supplements that could speed up your metabolism. Examples of these types of supplements can be viewed on this website. A warning though, these supplements should be taken with caution. They could be a vital part of your weight loss plan but also could cause health issues. To avoid these problems, you should consult your physician. In conclusion, many elements play a vital role in weight loss. Following and tracking your progress in these points is very important for your weight loss plan. These typically include a proper and strict diet, a consistent workout regime, and sometimes supplementation. These factors if mixed with huge amounts of dedication will ensure you see the weight loss results you desire. High Protein Diets for Weight Loss: Do They Work?

Neurointegration therapies are a type of biofeedback. These therapies that are involved in the treatment of brain disorders. This therapies are usually non-invasive and do not require the administration of any drug. Instead, during this therapies, the patient is subjected to 0photic simulations which tries to correct the pattern of frequencies that are produced by the brain thus restoring a balance in brain action. The therapies also utilize a reward system which include the auditory or visual reward for balanced brain performance. This means that when the brain frequency patterns are on track, it is rewarded by a music track or video. However, when the frequencies goes off track, the reward stops. This is meant to train the brain on what it needs to do in order to keep getting the reward. PEMF – The pemf therapy or Pulsated Magnetic Field is a type of therapy mostly used in orthopedics.it is used in the treatment of non-union fractures, failed fusions and even depression. Stem cell therapy – Stem cell therapy refers to the use of stem cells to treat a range of injuries and conditions. This therapy may be used to treat brain injuries, deafness and heart diseases. However, there are also side effects of stem cell therapy. One of the major side effects is pain. Nutrition therapies – Nutrition therapies are therapies that involve the administration of minerals and nutrients to alleviate a deficiency in the body. The most common types of nutrition therapies are Myers cocktail and high dose of vitamin c therapy. These therapies help to boost the body’s immunity. There is a very wide range of conditions that can be treated by neurointegration therapies. Mostly, it is used in the treatment of Attention Deficiency Hyperactivity Disorder. And, because of its non-invasive nature, it is very suitable for the treatment of children. Other conditions that can be treated by neurointegration therapies include anxiety, autism, bipolar disorder and addiction. These therapies can be accessed at any center of integrative medicine. I would recommend this therapy for brain disorders treatment because it has very few side effects. Also, it aims at treating the root cause of the symptoms hence preventing disease recurrence.

The American Lung Association's 2016 State of the Air report found continued improvement in air quality, but more than half (52.1 percent) of the people in the U.S. live in counties that have unhealthful levels of either ozone or particle pollution. The annual, national air quality "report card" found that 166 million Americans live with unhealthful levels of air pollution, putting them at risk for premature death and other serious health effects like lung cancer, asthma attacks, cardiovascular damage, and developmental and reproductive harm. "Thanks to cleaner power plants and cleaner vehicles, we see a continued reduction of ozone and year-round particle pollution in the 2016 State of the Air report. However, climate change has increased the challenges to protecting public health," Harold P. Wimmer, national president and CEO of the American Lung Association, said. "There are still nearly 20 million people in the United States that live with unhealthful levels of all three measures of air pollution the report tracks: ozone, short-term and year-round particle pollution." "Everyone has the right to breathe healthy air, yet only four cities—Burlington-South Burlington, Vermont.; Elmira-Corning, New York.; Honolulu, Hawaii; and Salinas, Calif0rnia—qualified for the 'cleanest cities' list in the State of the Air report," Wimmer said. "We simply must do more to protect the health of Americans." Each year the State of the Air reports on the two most widespread outdoor air pollutants, ozone pollution and particle pollution. The report analyzes particle pollution in two ways: through average annual particle pollution levels and short-term spikes in particle pollution. Both ozone and particle pollution are dangerous to public health and can be lethal. But the trends reported in this year's report, which covers data collected in 2012-2014, are strikingly different for these pollutants. According to this year's 17th annual report, short-term spikes in particle pollution have gotten worse since the 2015 report, including in the city with the worst particle pollution problem, Bakersfield, California. For multiple cities that suffered spikes in particle pollution during this period, many of these spikes were directly linked to weather patterns like drought or to events like wildfires, which are likely to increase because of climate change. The rise in short-term particle pollution provides current examples of how major changes in drought and rainfall are already affecting public health. According to the 2016 report, seven of the 25 most polluted cities had their highest number of unhealthy short-term particle pollution days on average ever reported. Increased heat, changes in climate patterns, drought and wildfires are all related to climate change, which has contributed to the extraordinarily high numbers of days with unhealthy particulate matter. The particles—emanating from wildfires, wood-burning devices, coal-fired power plants and diesel emissions—are so small that they can lodge deep in the lungs and trigger asthma attacks, heart attacks and strokes and can even be lethal. By contrast, the best progress came in reducing year-round levels of particle pollution, with 16 cities reaching their lowest levels ever and one other improving over the period covered by the 2015 report (2011-2013). Year-round particle pollution levels have dropped thanks to the cleanup of coal-fired power plants and the retirement of old, dirty diesel engines. According to the 2016 report, six cities reported their fewest unhealthy ozone days ever, including #1 Los Angeles and 15 others improved over the previous report's data. Ozone pollution has decreased because the nation has cleaned up major sources of the emissions that create ozone, especially coal-fired power plants and vehicles. However, climate change causes greater heat, which makes ozone form. When a person inhales ozone pollution, it can cause coughing, trigger asthma attacks and even shorten life. "We can and must do more to save lives and fight climate change," Wimmer said. "The lung association calls on every state to adopt strong Clean Power Plans to reduce emissions from power plants that worsen climate change and immediately harm health. The Supreme Court has put a temporary hold on EPA's [Environmental Protection Agency] enforcement of the federal Clean Power Plan, but states should not wait to clean up carbon pollution from their power plants." "In addition, we call on EPA to adopt strong, health protective standards to limit emissions of methane and toxic pollutants that contribute to ozone pollution and climate change from oil and gas production," he said.

Every person has a hobby. Maybe, it has not been opened yet, but I am sure that you have an activity you like to be engaged to the most. Playing football, taking photos, singing, dancing, decorating, cooking, swimming – so many different hobbies people have. Only a part of humanity has a job, which is connected with the activity they enjoy. Another part finds a time for their favorite occupations besides their main job. But I never understood people, who had left their interests. "How to Get Time For Your Favorite Hobby" topic? How much do I have to pay someone to write my assignment fast?

Speaking about education, it is really important. There are people in our history, who had once neglected lessons and homework and then became rich, successful and famous. But we will never be in the same conditions, so our history must be built on our own. So, education is important and the hobby is important as well.

You can create something meaningful only if you admire it, so, if you feel any other big deals are waiting for you – use the writing service.

Business Owners Going Through a Divorce - Brian D. Perskin & Associates P.C. If you are a business owner, you have a lot to lose during divorce, especially if your company is quite profitable. You can expect it to be included during the process of equitable distribution, so you will probably not be able to keep this asset to yourself unless you do some serious negotiating. That’s why you need to hire Brian D Perskin & Associates P.C. We can let you know how the process will go, what you can likely keep, and how to come to an agreement that suits everyone. We realize how important your business is to you, and that you want to do everything possible to keep from losing it all. It is one of your most important assets, especially if you built it from the ground up, or it is your main source of income. Letting your former spouse take your business away should not be an option. Our firm has represented numerous clients who have hired us to fight for their company, and our understanding of the process has helped immensely. Let us do the same for you. You will need business valuation before getting divorced since you need to know exactly how much it is worth prior to dividing it. Even if you plan to keep it all through negotiation, you will need to find out what it is worth so that you can give your spouse the equivalent in other assets. Perhaps the valuation process is already complete, but you do not agree with the results. If so, we can help. Whether you simply think the business is worth more, or have another issue with the process, we can assist you until you are satisfied with the outcome. One example of a common problem is that the business owner does not think the spouse is entitled to this asset, and should therefore be given very little of it. Another possibility is that the business owner believes it should mostly be categorized as an asset to be divided, not an income stream, or perhaps it’s the other way around. Either way, we know how to ensure your business is divided fairly, taking both your preferences and divorce rules into consideration. We can talk to experts who perform business valuation frequently so that your company is treated properly during divorce. Throughout the entire process, we always keep in mind how important each client’s business is. If you do not wish to divide it with your spouse, we will do everything possible to help you get this outcome. If negotiations do not work, we are prepared to go to trial to fight for your business. We have years of experience in the courtroom, so we know how to achieve the results we need. If you are ready to save your business from your spouse during your New York divorce, call us today to start your case. We look forward to helping you protect what you have worked so hard for.

There are many ways to upgrade our living room into a more lovely room. The using of a rug for living room is one way to decorate our living room. Nowadays, many types of rugs are offered with various patterns. There also more and more interesting color combinations with natural or synthetic materials such as silk fabric, wool, or synthetic fabric. A rug for living room is not only to cover the floor, but we can also apply it on the wall to replace painting as a wall decoration. However, not all rugs always fit our living room. There are some considerations before we decide to buy a new living room rug. Choosing the right size rug for a living room is the first thing we need to think of. There are various rug sizes from a very small rug to a very large one. It depends on our room size and need. The size of the rug does not have to be the same size as the living room. We can also place a living room rug only to certain area, such as beneath the sofa set or to a smaller area in front of the TV unit. If we choose to apply the rug on certain area only, we need to make sure that the rug size is not too small, that will be awkward for a large room, or too large because it will make the room too crowded. Choosing the right size can make the rug as the center point of the living room if this is the purpose. Besides that, we also need to match the patterns and also colors of the rugs with our living room wall color, the furniture, and the other decorations in the living room. If we already have a sofa set with a colorful pattern, we can use a non pattern rug in suitable color. A bright color rug can always give a wider impression to the room. The rug color is not always the same as the color of the other stuffs around. We can make an astonishing look through the using of contrast colors. A larger living room is more flexible to any colors. Dark rug choice can bring a cool atmosphere, but it will make the room look narrower. The quality of the rug itself is also very important. There are some different textures and thickness in each rug. The more dense the sewing is, the more durable it is. Rugs made of natural materials such as wool is also more friendly for our health. It is also necessary to know the treatment of the living room rug. If we are quite busy, we can choose a rug that is not complicated to clean to save the time. Especially if we have pets at home.

Need help with septic tank pumping in Oceola Ohio? The average national cost of septic tank pumping and cleaning is $350, with most Oceola homeowners spending between $250 and $483. This data is based on actual project costs in Ohio. Under normal conditions, you should pump your Ohio tank every 1-3 years based upon the number of people living in your home. Generally, this pumping will take around 30-45 minutes. If you know the location of your septic system, this could save you some money on the back end because your Oceola OH professional won’t have to charge you the time to locate it. You may need parts replaced, such as a filter, which could cost a few hundred dollars. However, this filter is necessary in maintaining the function and longevity of your Oceola drainfield. If your professional notices that your tank is failing, they can sometimes resurrected by properly pumping the tank, cleaning the drain field lines, installing filters and a process known as fracturing the soil, which involves inserting a hollow tube into the ground and injecting a 300-pound blast of air. While this procedure could cost into the thousands dollars, it’s much less expensive and much less hassle than installing a new system, especially in Oceola Ohio.

Root canal irrigation plays an important role in the debridement and disinfection of the canal systems, and is an integral part of the biomechanical preparation procedures. The bacterial contamination of the root canal is of great concern in endodontics; the elimination of microoganisms and necrotic tissues from the root canal is essential for a successfully outcome. Regardless of the technique used, particular attention must be given to the appropriate and safe use of the chemical solution. The literature concerning the aetiology, symptomatology and complications during root canal irrigation is reviewed.

Thought you were done with the chickenpox as a kid? Think again. Shingles, a disease caused by the same virus as chickenpox, affects roughly one million Americans each year. As people age, their risk of getting shingles increases but despite its incidence many people are completely unaware of the disease. People dont really know about shingles unless they know someone who has had shingles, or they develop it themselves, said Stephen Tyring MD, professor of medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. The results of a recent national survey by the American Pain Foundation support Tryings position. The survey revealed that many older adults were not aware of their risk for the disease. More than half of the respondents who reported having heard of shingles were not sure of the risk factors. And many respondents were unaware of the relationship between chickenpox and shingles. After a person gets the chickenpox, most often during childhood, the inactivated virus can live on in certain nerve cells in the body. In healthy people, the bodys immune system usually keeps the virus at bay. As people age or their immune system becomes compromised, the virus can reactivate and result in shingles. The risk of shingles increases with age. With each decade, a persons immunity weakens, so that by 60 years of age, the likelihood of shingles significantly increases, says Tyring. In fact, one out of two people who live to the age of 85 will have had shingles. And although seniors are at higher risk, shingles can affect people of all ages. The first signs of shingles may not be visually noticeable. People often experience tingling, burning, itching or pain. During the first few days of symptoms, fluid-filled blisters will break out in a rash, usually on one side of the body or face. The rash is often painful and will heal in two to four weeks, in most people. However, some people experience post-herpetic neuralgia, or long-term nerve pain which can persist for months or even years after the initial rash. Long-term nerve pain caused by shingles can vary and has been described as burning, throbbing, stabbing or shooting. The older a person gets, the more he or she is at risk for long-term nerve pain. Men and women are affected equally by shingles. I have seen, however, in my practice that women come into the doctors office sooner, while men tend to wait, Tyring said. Shingles patients, both men and women, are often given analgesics along with antiviral medications for treatment. Antiviral medicines for shingles may help speed up healing and reduce pain in some patients, but if possible, treatment should begin within 72 hours of the onset of symptoms, according to Tyring. Although the disease affects the sexes equally, its greater impact on older adults should capture the attention of women. Women make up more than 60 percent of population 85 years and older, so any condition that is prone to strike older people is of special concern to women, said Phyllis Greenberger, MSW, president and CEO of the Society for Womens Health Research. Older Americans should talk to their health care providers about their risk for shingles. To raise awareness about shingles and complications that can arise from the disease, the American Pain Foundation is sponsoring a national education program called Spotlight on Shingles that features a Web site and a toll-free number that people can call to receive a free informational brochure about shingles.

Beluga is the largest and most expensive variety of caviar. It has a buttery flavor and creamy texture. Next largest is Ossetra, which is known to have a light brownish color and a nutty flavor. Finally, there is Sevruga- deep black in color and fruity in flavor. Caviar is usually served with an assortment of condiments, which allows tasters to assemble their own unique flavor combinations. The hard-boiled eggs are often separated into whites and yolks, each passed through a sieve to make a smaller “curd” that will be less likely to fall off the toast point or blini that is holding them. The red onion is also diced very small, and it is sometimes blanched to take off some of the sharp bite that might overshadow the delicate flavor of the caviar. Toast points are merely thin slices of white bread that are toasted and have their crusts cut off. Blini are small, savory pancakes that are a very popular Russian caviar accompaniment. Both are designed to have a flavor that is relatively neutral so as to allow the unique taste of the fish roe to shine. The light and refreshing natures of both vodka and champagne are wonderful complements to caviar as they help enhance its salty flavor. Heavier wines or spirits might dominate or overshadow the flavor.

Two of the rooms most likely to be updated or remodeled in homes are the kitchen and the bath. Let's face it; most bedrooms are fairly bland as far as being four walls and a ceiling, and except for a nice light fixture, most of what you can do with those rooms is in terms of furnishings and décor. The kitchen and bathrooms, though, are another matter. There are all sorts of things that can be changed in them. You have countertops, cabinets, appliances, plumbing fixtures, sinks, vanity, a bathtub and all of this is in addition to the walls and light fixtures. Let's say your house is showing its age, and you notice that either your kitchen or bathrooms need some work. The next question is how much work do you have done? The first thing that will determine the extent of any work you do is, of course, your budget. There is also the purpose behind the work you're having done. Are you planning to continue living in the house for many more years and, therefore, is it mainly being done for your use and enhanced enjoyment of the home? On the other hand, you may be looking at having work done to get the house in shape to put it on the market, and you feel the kitchen and bathrooms may be holding you back on getting a better asking price. You might just be happy with updating a couple of the appliances and light fixtures in the kitchen. A fresh coat of paint can also help to make any room look fresh. When a room really starts showing its age and needs some major work, however, you may need to call in some help. For those who live in Bucks County, kitchen design needs can be met by Lang's Kitchen & Bath. This has to do with both the amount of counter space and where you choose to have it located. You may want to have a remodeling contractor add an island to your kitchen, so you will have additional counter and drawer space in the middle of the room. This gives you more room for preparing food when entertaining. There are few people who wouldn't like more storage space in their kitchen. If the layout of your kitchen is currently lacking in terms of cabinet space and drawer space, then a remodel would enable you to expand the available amount of them while also upgrading them to a nicer style. If you have a small sink or one that is showing its age, you may wish to install a modern, double sink with attractive faucets. You'll be looking at them every day for any remaining years you have in this house, and potential buyers will find it a welcome sight. If all you are doing is updating an appliance or two with a newer model that will fit in the same space, then this is a simple update that you can handle. If, however, you need to upgrade to a larger refrigerator or oven, then this is where you'll need a contractor to come in to enlarge the available space. The bathroom has the main areas of the sink and vanity, the bathtub and shower, the toilet, the faucets, shower head and light fixtures. If you feel a new mirror and light fixture plus a paint job will sufficiently revive this room then these few improvements may do. More involved work, however, will require a remodeling contractor. When you find you desire extensive enough changes to warrant a remodeling of one of these crucial rooms in your home, planning is critical. One of the first things you should plan on is to hire a contractor to do the work. Especially in the case of needing the location of sinks or a bathtub or a major appliance moved, you want a professional contractor such as those from Lang's Kitchen & Bath to handle it. This is because these kinds of changes will involve moving the locations of plumbing pipes and fixtures and possibly electrical outlets depending on what exactly is relocated.

I am using “Google Chrome” browser. When I play any YouTube video there is a lot of buffering. How to stop this buffering? Right-click on the video and choose "stop download." and how to continue listening the buffered part, whle stopping to download all the video? it's impossible! if you stop the buffering, you stop the video. Buffering means that the video pauses while it is loading. This happens because the video plays faster than your internet connection can stream it to you. Hence the video stops to allow buffering (downloading) until enough material is streamed to your computer to continue the seamless playback...at least for a brief moment.

Flor de Santiago, or Jacobean Lily, is an ornamental plant, that has medicinal properties, and which yields one single, very beautiful, deep scarlet red flower per stalk. Scientific name: Sprekelia formosissima (L.) Herb. Type of plant: Herbaceous, perennial and bulbous. Size of plant: Between 20 and 45-50 cm. high. Degree of difficulty for growth and treatment: Minimal. When it blossoms: Afternoon – night. Number of flowers per bulb: 1. Size of flower: Between 13 and 18-20 cm. Colour of flower: Bright scarlet, with sharp, pointed shiny gold dust. Shape of flower: A single flower with 6 red petals that are cross-shaped. The flowers are bilaterally symmetrical, like orchids. The 6 petals are free and very similar; 3 of them upright and curved backwards; the other three hanging downwards. Shape and colour of leaves: Green and narrow, like a strip or ribbon. Type of bulb: Tunic shaped, globe-like bulb, approximately 5 cm. in diameter, dark-brown or even black on the exterior. Time of year for planting: Inside, throughout the year. Outside, from the beginning of spring until the beginning of autumn, in mild, humid climates. The following temperature ranges can be taken as reference: minimum, above 10ºC and maximum below 35ºC. Type of under soil: Light, good drainage, rich in nutrients. For example: 1/3 sand, 1/3 earth, and 1/3 brier (heather). Type of pot: The volume of the flower pot will be approximately two litres, preferably height wise instead of breadth wise. Permeable pots are better suited, especially those that are not made with chemical substances. The flower pot chosen must have holes at the bottom to allow for the passage of water. Manner of planting: Use one pot per bulb. Plant directly in the pot, leaving approximately a third or a quarter of the bulb above the under soil. Place in the sun or in a sheltered environment, away from the sun; such conditions are more conducive to sprouting when it begins. The plant will take between 3 and five weeks to blossom, from the time of planting. Normally, the stalk of the flower appears before the leaves. When the first flower wilts, a second, or even third flower may appear, but exceptionally so, and this will only happen with bulbs over three years old and of the +16 category. The bulb can be left for as long as three years without being uprooted, in the same pot, but it must be protected from freezing winter temperatures. If it is left in the garden, please remember that it will not resist temperatures of less than 5 degrees unless it is given proper winter protection (duly quilted or padded). Water moderately at time of planting. Wait until plant begins to sprout, being careful not to add water unless the subsoil gets too dry. As soon as the plant appears, water more frequently, going gradually from moderate to normal. When the flower has fully blossomed, water less frequently, but never allow subsoil to get completely dry. When the leaves have completely wilted and are yellow in colour, put an end to watering and put the flower pot in a place with a temperature of between 9 and 13ºC, so that the plant may enter into a period of rest until the following year; or start preparing proper storage.If the plant is left in the garden, please make sure that the earth is quickly drained to avoid the bulb rotting through excess of water. Where it can be placed: In well lit interiors. In well protected domestic gardens. In exterior settings, directly open to the sun, or with light shade. Dangers: Rodents, moles or snails that feed on its rich bulb and/or leaves. Cats, because they love picking at and digging up and unearthing bulbs. Preparation for the storage of bulbs: Before storing, please check all plants to make sure that bulbs which are not in perfect conditions are not stored. Stalks, leaves and roots will be cut subsequently. Approximately 5 cm of roots will be left uncut. At the very end, bulbs must be cleaned of earth and be left completely dry. Storage of bulbs: The bulb may be stored in trays, Kraft bags, boxes or other systems that guarantee sufficient darkness and the exchange of vapour and water. Storage temperature must be preferably 9ºC, up to a maximum of 11-13ºC. The place of storage must be independent and must never be shared with other bulbs, food products, fruits, etc. It must also be free of strong odours and strong chemical substances. Never pile more than two or three heaps of bulbs one on top the other, to avoid rotting. When minimum exterior temperatures are right, we can then remove bulbs from the store room and plant them again. The recommended period for them to remain in the store room is at least four months. Method of multiplication: In keeping with bulb categories during the period of rest. These small sprouts will normally take three years to mature sufficiently and then blossom. The shoots can be planted in groups in order to properly monitor yearly growth. Fuente: Elaboración propia cos datos observados en Galicia durante o período 2007-2010.

Instant Messaging (IM) tools allow you to have a sense of other colleagues being around wherever you are physically located. They are useful for quick exchanges of ideas and conversation and may develop into a meeting in the same way a conversation might in the office. This of course brings opportunities and challenges. Skype and yuuguu have built in IM tools and link well in terms of being used in meetings. I particularly recommend Skype if being used as your main meeting tool. How instant is Instant Messaging? The instant part is a little bit debatable. It is certainly less instant than a phone call and more instant than an e-mail, in terms of expected response. My own experience is that the need to respond to an IM is not so immediate and therefore it is less disruptive. It is important to build a shared understanding with your collaborators about how you will use it in terms of response times and establishing your own netiquette or policy.

Nature is the world around us, and a human is a part of it, but not the king. Unfortunately, sometimes we forget about this.

Have you ever referred to inflammation as "the silent killer?" If you're unaware, it has coined such a negative title due to the numerous health issues, complications and illnesses it's linked to, such as heart failure, clinical depression and Alzheimer's disease. Last week, we welcomed Dr. Shavon Jackson-Michel, a naturopathic physician, to lead our August webinar about the impact of chronic inflammation and how the spice of the century can provide natural relief. But before we recognize the health benefits of this Indian seasoning, it's important to understand the difference between classic and chronic inflammation. The first thing that comes to mind when you think of inflammation is the result of a twisted ankle, or maybe even the swelling that develops from a bug bite, according to Dr. Jackson-Michel. This is acute inflammation, also known as "classic" or "hot inflammation." It's the body's response to tissue injury or infection that results in swelling, redness, heat and pain. Fortunately, classic inflammation is self-limiting, which means it can resolve itself without treatment. "Obesity is one of the most telling factors of chronic inflammation." The chronic form is also known as "cold" or "silent inflammation" because you don't even know it's happening. Those common symptoms of classic inflammation do not arise with chronic. The cause is usually an untreated infection, or a viral infection the body can't identify. Diet, stress and aging are among the other factors. But obesity is one of the most telling factors, as the production of fat cells also leads to what Dr. Jackson-Michel explained as one of the main creators of those stimulating pathways that lead to chronic inflammation. "It has a lot to do with the white blood cells that are associated with fat cells," she said. "As the fat cells accumulate more and more fat, they also accumulate more and more white blood cells. It's these white blood cells that have the ability to produce a variety of chemical mediators or stimulating pathways that will actually lead to inflammation chemicals percolating around in the body." The pathways that lead to chronic inflammation need to be controlled. But is there a way? Can Chronic Inflammation Fix Itself? In the presentation, Dr. Jackson-Michel made a realistic comparison in chronic inflammation to an intense traffic jam. If you woke up, got in your car and left for work only to find that the main intersection was jam-packed in complete chaos with no order, would you want to continue the commute to your job? Would you decide to turn around and walk? Probably walk, because you know that it's not likely that this mess is going to clean itself up in time. It's going to take structure and guidance from police officers for people to get where they need to go. Without guidance, the traffic jam will never subside. Much like chronic inflammation. Unfortunately, chronic inflammation isn't much far off from this scenario. Just like the various cars, trucks and buses coming from different streets and creating chaos in the middle of the intersection, there are numerous signaling pathways coming from different directions in the body that are all trying to get to the same place at the same time. Unfortunately, the result is chronic inflammation and it's a perpetual response that requires external control, much like the traffic cop. So how can we take charge, deal with this chaos and defeat the silent killer? The answer: the spice of the century. Turmeric, a staple dietary spice in Indian cuisine, does not only intensify flavors in dishes – it has been used for medicinal purposes for at least 2,500 years. Did you know that India has the lowest rates of chronic inflammatory disease in the world? This includes a variety of conditions, such as colon and prostate cancer and Alzheimer's. How can this be? We can partly thank the spice of the century for that. There are over 230 active constituents in turmeric, making it a very diverse molecule. Those include curcuminoids and essential oils that make it a powerful antioxidant. The curcumin in turmeric is essentially the traffic officer regulating all of the pathways. It's the external controller that targets every signal from different angles, making it a true, natural anti-inflammatory. That's why we've created New Generation Bio-Curcumin, the supplement that puts inflammation at rest. It's 86 percent curcuminoids and 7 to 9 percent turmeric essential oils. It's 100 percent turmeric derived, with no binders, fillers or bio-enhancers. As always, the Hallelujah Diet strives to provide only the most organic and effective supplements available, following God's guidance in a leading a natural, wholesome lifestyle.

Approximately half the seafood eaten worldwide—including in the United States—is farm-raised. Because harvest from wild fisheries has peaked globally, aquaculture is widely recognized as a necessary way to meet the seafood demands of a growing population. As a result, aquaculture is the fastest growing form of food production in the world. A compelling case can be made for growing more seafood in the United States. The United States is a major consumer of aquaculture products—we import 90 percent of our seafood, half of which is from aquaculture. Yet we are a minor producer—only 5 percent of our seafood supply is from domestic freshwater and marine aquaculture. Because the United States has imported an increasing percentage of our seafood at higher prices, the U.S. seafood trade deficit has grown to more than $12 billion annually. Commercial marine aquaculture, or seafood farming, in the United States consists of a vibrant community of producers that contribute to the seafood supply, complement wild fisheries, and support jobs and other economic activity in our coastal communities and working waterfronts. The $1 billion value of total U.S. freshwater and marine aquaculture production pales in comparison to global aquaculture production of $100 billion. Although U.S. marine aquaculture is small, it is growing at 8 percent per year and is poised for additional growth as oyster farming in particular continues to expand. As a complement to wild harvest fisheries, aquaculture can help meet the growing demand for seafood, reduce our dependence on imports, and help rebuild wild fish stocks. Sustainable expansion of domestic aquaculture is critical to maintaining coastal communities that support commercial fisheries, aquaculture, and jobs associated with the seafood industry. NOAA (within the Department of Commerce) is one of the primary agencies charged with permitting and overseeing aquaculture. NOAA’s aquaculture program is coordinated through NOAA Fisheries’ Office of Aquaculture and encompasses activities at NOAA’s Fisheries Science Centers and Regional Offices, the National Sea Grant program, and National Ocean Service. The largest single sector of U.S. marine aquaculture is molluscan shellfish (oysters, clams, and mussels), which accounts for about two-thirds of total production. Marine aquaculture also produces shrimp and salmon as well as lesser amounts of barramundi, sea bass, and sea bream. Aquaculture also grows marine algae (seaweed) for food, medicine, and other uses. Marine aquaculture can take place in the ocean (in cages on the seafloor or suspended in the water column) or on land in enclosed systems. Freshwater aquaculture produces species that are native to rivers, lakes, and streams. U.S. freshwater aquaculture is dominated by catfish but also produces trout, tilapia, and bass. Freshwater aquaculture takes place primarily in ponds and on land in enclosed systems. A variety of techniques and technologies are used to farm fish, shellfish, and sea vegetables. Check out the Aquaculture FAQs for more information. Creates employment and business opportunities in coastal communities. Provides safe and sustainable seafood. Supports marine fish populations and habitats. Like any human activity, aquaculture can impact the environment, which is why U.S. aquaculture operators adhere to strong environmental and food safety regulations. When practiced responsibly, aquaculture’s impact on wild fish and shellfish populations, marine habitats, and water quality is minimal. In fact, aquaculture can benefit the ecosystem—for example, oyster aquaculture creates habitat and enhances water quality. NOAA continues to work with our partners to develop innovative techniques and management practices that ensure we’re protecting our marine ecosystems as aquaculture production expands around the world. How Do We Regulate It? Handling and processing under sanitary conditions. Environmental regulations for aquaculture address siting, water quality, ecosystem impacts, animal health, and many other issues. Visit the Office of Aquaculture website for a detailed discussion.

Electrical Performance Of RF Connectors! The actual electrical performance depends on the performance of the cable, the contact of the cable, the geometrical size of the connector, the contact of the inner conductor, and so on. The maximum frequency of the coaxial axis must be the maximum frequency of use of the weakest element in the transmission line, as it depends on all components rather than a component. For example, the frequency of use of a RF connector is 10GHZ, and the frequency of use of the cable connected to it is 5GHZ, and the maximum frequency of use of this component is 5GHZ. The synthesis of all factors determines the frequency of use of the entire transmission line.

My concept is simplifying the site to be a geometry shape and breaking the site to fragments. Each corner of the form will represent the view and the space of the site. I simply connect all the corners to my construction site together creating a radio form. However, I think that the linear movement of the radio form is very limited on the ground because I do not want to break the horizontal landscape. Therefore, I designed underground pathways to extend this movement. Functionally, the creation skylights of the path can lead people going to the museum from parking lot while they can not see views and make them curious and imagine about what Fort Ancient will look like. I think that most challenge of this project is make the program fit inside my building because the interior space is not orthogonal. I have a hard time seeking the solution. However, I still believe that function will follows form and form can be improved based on the need of the function. I think that this project is trying to adapt a green clearing surrounded by forest. Also, I like the idea to “carve out” a piece of the grass-covered site, move it up and treat it as the roofing to arrange all the required functions underneath. Hence, the design integrates the building and environment, and this is what I want to do in FORT ANCIENT. The drawing allows us to see how the planes of the walls, floors, and ceilings are atypical, meeting at odd anlgles, varying the usual 90 degrees (Pritzker Monograph, 34). The floor and ceiling planes enrich the space. The form almost defy gravity. The painting inspires me how to design space by tectonic elements. The abstract and intricate patterning on the façade is based on a Polish folk-art paper cut-out, and the purpose of the cut-out is to show the human, creativity and city of Portland, which are the exact concept of the design. Beside the concept, the strong colorful internal light through the cut-out creates incredible visual impact to all visitors. Hence, interior and exterior become united. Therefore, I think that I can use Native American Pattern of their art works to create a facade of the museum.

Cremation simply expedites the process of reducing a body to bone fragments through either a water-based process or a flame-based process. Green cremation is a gentle, eco-friendly alternative to flame-based cremation or casket burials. It is a quiet process that uses water and potassium hydroxide to reduce the body to its basic element of bone ash. The ashes are then returned to the family. The process was adapted for funeral home use by the Mayo Clinic in their anatomy bequest program and is now becoming available to the general public. Bradshaw is the first and only firm in Minnesota to provide this revolutionary service. Choosing cremation neither eliminates nor does it require a funeral service. Traditional or contemporary services are often planned before or after the cremation process. A funeral service followed by cremation may be exactly the same as a funeral service followed by ground burial. They can be elaborate or simple and traditional or nontraditional.

site index //// Anything else called "Mercury" Not a popular tourist destination at present (2001/11), because the planet is a bit close to the SUN! Orbital period 88 days. It's a small planet, so is a bit short on atmosphere. The planet Mercury orbits the sun every 88 days. Although it is very hot on the day side of the planet Mercury, the night side is very cold. A while ago it was believed that the planet was gravity-locked to the sun so the same face of it was pointing sunwards. This would have meant that there was a Twilight Zone of fixed terrain where it was neither hot nor cold! Current evidence suggests that the rotational period is locked into a rhythm such that the day length is 176 Earth days* (two Mercury years). This would mean that any such Twilight Zone would move around the planet at a speed of 3.63Km/hour. * Some websites incorrectly state the length of the day on Mercury to be 58 days. That's the Sidereal day. (The sidereal day on Earth is 23 hours 56 minutes 4.1 seconds). If we count day length in terms of time of sunrise to the next sunrise, on Earth it's 24 hours, and on Mercury it's 176 earth days. It was said a while ago that the Planet mercury took 88 days to orbit the sun, but that there was another planet, the Planet Vulcan orbiting even closer to the sun, taking only 28 days to orbit the sun.

The 3-Piece airlock is the best choice for primary fermentation, since it comes apart for easy cleaning if you have of a blow-off. Fill to the line with boiled water, sanitizer, or alcohol (e.g. vodka) to create a closed fermenting system that allows CO2 to escape, but does not allow air back in to contaminate your beer or wine.

It is vital that you give your body some exercise on a regular basis and what better way to do it than while enjoying some paddleboarding on a lake, river or the ocean. Most people like to spend time near water, and we also like to take part in activities on the water. But many do not know about paddle boarding and the benefits it brings. It is a board that looks similar to a surfboard but slightly bigger. There are many models that you can check with Chad from SUP Board Guy who has some great reviews on the types of boards available. In case you want to buy one, you can get on online, and it will be delivered to your door. There are two main categories that these boards are divided into, the hard ones and the inflatable ones. They both have their benefits so let us look at them individually. These models are ideal for use in the ocean. They are easy to maneuver and are good for speed. They are suitable for those who already have some experience. If you are a beginner, it is best you start with one of these. They are easy to transport and are cheaper than the hard models. They come complete with a manual air pump that makes it easy for you to inflate it wherever you are. They are also suitable for practicing yoga on the water. Both models above come complete with a paddle and a strap that helps you keep one foot attached to the board. The paddle helps you push and steer the board to where you want to go. The hard models are more expensive that the inflatable ones and you will also need a vehicle to transport them in. However, if you buy online, you are sure to get the best price. Unlike sport equipment stores that have many overheads, online suppliers ship directly from the warehouse so that the savings will pass on to you.

Appearances can be deceptive. The above photo looks pretty warm doesn’t it? It’s of the beach at Tarifa in southern Spain, the southernmost tip of Europe as a matter of fact. The water is the Atlantic Ocean. It was a sunny but bitterly cold day in January a couple of years ago. Ah, that’s better! Same ocean, different country. This was taken on our stay in Portugal last summer, believe me – it was warm!!

It shall be understood that different aspects of the invention can be appreciated individually, collectively, or in combination with each other. Various aspects of the invention described herein may be applied to any of the particular applications set forth below or for any other types of movable objects. Any description herein of an aerial vehicle may apply to and be used for any movable object, such as any vehicle. Additionally, the systems, devices, and methods disclosed herein in the context of aerial motion (e.g., flight) may also be applied in the context of other types of motion, such as movement on the ground or on water, underwater motion, or motion in space. Furthermore, any description herein of a rotor or rotor assembly may apply to and be used for any propulsion system, device, or mechanism configured to generate a propulsive force by rotation (e.g., propellers, wheels, axles). FIG. 15 is a schematic illustration by way of block diagram of a system for controlling a movable object, in accordance with embodiments. The system, devices, and method of the present invention provide improved rotors for movable objects, such as a self-propelled movable object (e.g., an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)). In some embodiments, the rotors and rotor assemblies described herein incorporate fastening features that are configured to self-tighten during rotor operation in order to prevent inadvertent loosening of the rotor. Advantageously, the disclosed self-tightening features enhance the safety, stability, and durability of rotor assemblies for self-propelled movable objects. For example, an unmanned rotorcraft may be propelled through the air by propulsive forces generated by the rotation of a rotor. The rotor can be mounted to the rotorcraft via a drive shaft operable to rotate the rotor. To ensure that the rotor remains secured even when subjected to vibrations and other motions that may cause loosening, the rotor can be coupled to the drive shaft by integrally formed screw threads having a directionality configured to self-tighten with the rotation of the rotor. The use of integrated screw threads can also simplify assembly of the rotorcraft by reducing the overall number of parts. Thus, in one aspect, the present invention provides a rotor assembly for a self-propelled movable object having one or more of the following unique features. In a first embodiment, a rotor assembly comprises: a hub comprising a first fastening feature; a drive shaft comprising a second fastening feature and directly coupled to the hub by a mating connection of the first and second fastening features, wherein the drive shaft is configured to cause rotation of the hub such that the mating connection of the first and second fastening features is tightened by the rotation; and a plurality of rotor blades coupled to the hub and configured to rotate therewith to generate a propulsive force. A rotor of the present invention can include a plurality of rotor blades coupled to a central hub. A rotor assembly can include a rotor and a drive shaft configured to drive the rotation of the rotor. The hub of the rotor and the drive shaft can each include a respective fastening feature, with the fastening features being complementary to each other such that a mating connection can be formed to couple the hub to the drive shaft. The mating connection can be configured to be tightened by the rotation of the hub and rotor blades, thereby preventing the rotor from becoming loosened from the drive shaft during operation. This approach advantageously improves rotor safety and stability without requiring additional parts. In a second embodiment, the present invention provides an alternative rotor assembly for a self-propelled movable object. The rotor assembly comprises: a hub; an adapter coupled to the hub and comprising a first fastening feature; a drive shaft comprising a second fastening feature and coupled to the hub through the adapter by a mating connection of the first and second fastening features, wherein the drive shaft is configured to cause rotation of the hub such that the mating connection of the first and second fastening features is tightened by the rotation; and a plurality of rotor blades coupled to the hub and configured to rotate therewith to generate a propulsive force. The hub, rotor blades, and drive shaft described above are equally applicable to this embodiment. Where desired, the hub can be modified to couple an adapter having a fastening feature. Accordingly, the hub can be coupled to the drive shaft by a mating connection between the fastening features of the adapter and the drive shaft. The mating connection can be a self-tightening connection as previously described. Advantageously, the adapter can be formed from a more durable material than the hub, thus improving the wear resistance of the mating connection and thus extending the overall lifespan of the rotor assembly. In a separate aspect, the present invention provides a self-propelled movable object having one or more of the following unique features. In one embodiment, a self-propelled movable object comprises: a body; the rotor assembly of the first or second embodiment coupled to the body; and a drive unit coupled to the body and configured to drive the drive shaft to cause the rotation of the hub. The hub, rotor blades, adapter, and drive shaft described above with regards to the rotor assemblies of the first and second embodiments are equally applicable to this embodiment. The movable object can also include a drive unit suitable for actuating the drive shaft to rotate the rotor. Accordingly, the rotor assembly can be mounted to the body of the movable object to provide propulsive forces for effecting a movement of the movable object (e.g., effecting translational and/or rotational movements). In another embodiment, the present invention provides another alternative self-propelled movable object. The self-propelled movable object comprises: a body comprising a support element; at least one propulsion unit coupled to the support element and configured to generate a propulsive force when rotated; and an actuator coupled to the body and configured to cause a rotation of the at least one propulsion unit, wherein the rotation of the at least one propulsion unit causes the at least one propulsion unit to be more tightly coupled to the support element. The propulsion unit can be a rotor, rotor assembly, or any other rotating propulsion device (e.g., a propeller, wheel, axle), and any description herein pertaining to a rotor or rotor assembly can also be applied to any suitable rotary propulsion unit. The propulsion unit can be mounted to the body of the movable object through a support element, which can be a shaft (e.g., a drive shaft as described herein), frame, strut, or any other element suitable for coupling and supporting the propulsion unit on the movable object. The actuator, which may encompass a drive unit and/or drive transmission elements, can cause the rotation of the propulsion unit to propel the movable object. The rotation of the propulsion unit may cause self-tightening of the coupling between the propulsion unit and the support element, similar to the self-tightening mating connection described above. In a separate aspect, the present invention provides a method for propelling a self-propelled movable object having one or more of the following steps. In one embodiment, a method comprises: providing the aforementioned self-propelled movable object comprising a body, the rotor assembly of the first or second embodiment, and a drive unit; driving, by means of the drive unit, the drive shaft, thereby causing the rotation of the hub; and effecting a movement of the self-propelled movable object by the propulsive forces generated by the plurality of rotor blades. As previously described herein, the self-propelled movable object can include a body, a rotor assembly mounted on the body, and a drive unit. To propel the movable object, the drive unit can be used to drive the drive shaft to cause the hub of the rotor to rotate, thereby rotating the rotor blades. In some instances, the drive shaft may actuate the rotation of the hub via a coupled adapter, as described above. The propulsive forces generated by the rotation of the rotor blades can effect a movement of the movable object. In another embodiment, the present invention provides another alternative method for propelling a self-propelled movable object having one or more of the following steps. The method comprises providing a self-propelled movable object, the self-propelled movable object comprising: a body comprising a supporting element; at least one propulsion unit coupled to the support element and configured to generate a propulsive force when rotated; and an actuator coupled to the body and configured to cause a rotation of the at least one propulsion unit, wherein the rotation of the at least one propulsion unit causes the at least one propulsion unit to be more tightly coupled to the support element. The method also comprises: driving the actuator to cause the rotation of the at least one propulsion unit; and effecting a movement of the self-propelled movable object by the propulsive force generated by the at least one propulsion unit. The self-propelled movable object having a propulsion unit, support element, and actuator disclosed above are equally applicable to this embodiment. Similar to the other embodiments described herein, the actuator can be driven to cause the propulsion unit to rotate, thereby propelling the movable object by the resultant propulsive force generated by the rotation of the propulsion unit. The propulsion unit may include a rotor. A rotor of the present invention can include any suitable number of rotor blades (e.g., one, two, three, four, or more blades). A rotor blade can be of any suitable shape, such as a flat shape, a curved shape, a twisted shape, a tapered shape, or suitable combinations thereof. The rotor blade may be a substantially elongated shape. In some embodiments, the shape of the blade can be varied (e.g., by telescoping, folding, bending, and the like). The blade may be symmetrical (which may refer to having identical upper and lower surfaces) or asymmetrical (which may refer to having differently shaped upper and lower surfaces). For example, the blade can be shaped into an airfoil, wing, or other geometry suitable for generating aerodynamic forces (e.g., lift forces, thrust forces) when the blade is moved through the air. The geometry of the blade can be selected in order to optimize the aerodynamic properties of the blade, such as to increase lift and thrust forces and reduce drag forces. The blade can have any suitable dimensions, such as length, width, chord length, and thickness. For example, the length of the blade can be less than or equal to 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm, 12 cm, 15 cm, 20 cm, 25 cm, 50 cm, 1 m, 2 m, 5 m, or 10 m. Conversely, the length of the blade can be greater than or equal to 0.5 cm, 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm, 25 cm, 50 cm, 1 m, 2 m, or 5 m. The width or chord length of the blade can be less than or equal to 0.5 cm, 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm, 25 cm, or 50 cm. Conversely, the width or chord length of the blade can be greater than or equal to 0.5 cm, 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm, 9 cm, 10 cm, 25 cm, or 50 cm. The thickness of the blade can be less than or equal to 0.01 cm, 0.05 cm, 0.1 cm, 0.5 cm, cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm, 9 cm, or 10 cm. Conversely, the thickness of the blade can be greater than or equal to 0.01 cm, 0.05 cm, 0.1 cm, 0.5 cm, cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm, 7 cm, 8 cm, 9 cm, or 10 cm. The length of the blade can be greater than the width of the blade and the thickness of the blade. The width of the blade can be greater than the thickness of the blade. In some instances, a ratio of the length to the width can be greater than or equal to: 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 10:1, 12:1, 15:1, or 20:1. The blades can be coupled to a central hub. The coupling may be a fixed coupling, such that the position and/or orientation of the blades are fixed relative to the hub. In some instances, the blades can be integrally formed with the hub. The blades and the hub can be formed of a single integral piece. Alternatively, the blades can be movable relative to the hub with up to three degrees of freedom in translation and up to three degrees of freedom in rotation, such as by means of suitable joints, hinges, bearings, fasteners, and other coupling elements. The blades can be permanently coupled to the hub. Conversely, the blades can be releasably coupled to the hub. The blades can be disposed symmetrically or asymmetrically about the hub. In some embodiments, the blades can be arranged radially around the hub, such that a proximal portion of each blade is coupled to the hub and a distal portion of each blade extends radially outward from the hub. The blades can be equally spaced apart along a radial direction. For example, two blades can be separated by 180°, three blades can be separated by 120°, four blades can be separated by 90°, and so on. The hub can be coupled to a support element suitable for supporting the rotor during operation while enabling rotation of the hub and rotor blades. The coupling can be a permanent coupling or a releasable coupling. The hub can be pivotally coupled to the support element such that the angle of the rotor can be tilted between a plurality of different angles. Alternatively, the hub can be fixedly coupled at a set angle relative to the support element. The support element may be a shaft, frame, strut, brace, or other component of the movable object. A drive shaft may be an example of a support element. In some embodiments, the support element may be translated and/or rotated relative to the movable object, while in other embodiments, the support element may be in a fixed position and/or orientation relative to the movable object. Optionally, the support element may be an actuator or a component of an actuator for the rotor. For example, the hub can be coupled to a drive shaft configured to actuate the rotation of the hub, which may produce a corresponding rotation of the coupled blades. It shall be understood that any description herein of coupling to a drive shaft can also be applied to coupling to other types of support elements. The hub can be coupled to the drive shaft using any suitable means, such as with fasteners (e.g., screws, nuts, bolts, pins, rivets), interference fits, snap fits, adhesives, welding, and the like. In some embodiments, the hub can be coupled to drive shaft using a mating connection between one or more fastening features of the hub and the drive shaft. For example, the hub can include a first fastening feature and the drive shaft can include a second fastening feature complementary to and forming a mating connection with the first fastening feature. Suitable fastening features can include one or more of: threads, apertures, passages, slots, tabs, teeth, hooks, snap fits, interlocks, protrusions, indentations, splines, grooves, flanges, ribs, and the like. The fastening feature can include a specific shape or geometry of the hub or drive shaft, such as a two- or three-dimensional shape of an aperture, cross-section, profile, surface, or any other suitable portion of the hub or drive shaft. In some embodiments, the mating connection of the first and second fastening features can be an interference fit or any other coupling maintained primarily by friction between the surfaces of the features. Where desired, the hub may be coupled to the drive shaft only through the use of fastening features and without requiring other coupling means. Alternatively, the hub may be coupled to the drive unit using fastening features in conjunction with other coupling means. In some embodiments, the hub can be directly coupled to the drive shaft through fastening features as described herein. Alternatively, the hub can be indirectly coupled to the drive shaft through an adapter or other connecting element coupled to the hub. The first fastening feature can be situated on the adapter instead of the hub, such that a mating connection is formed between the fastening features of the drive shaft and adapter. Suitable adapters can include, for example, rings, tubes, inserts, protrusions, connectors, and the like. The fastening feature can be integrally formed with the adapter (e.g., the adapter and fastening feature or formed from a single integral piece.) The hub can be configured to accommodate many different types of adapters. Conversely, the hub can be configured to accommodate only a single type of adapter. The adapter may be a standardized part useable with many different types of rotors. Optionally, the adapter may be specifically configured for a single type of rotor. The adapter can be fixedly coupled to the hub. Alternatively, the coupling may permit the adapter to translate (e.g., with up to three degrees of freedom) and/or rotate (e.g., with up to three degrees of freedom) relative to the hub. The adapter can be permanently affixed to the hub. Conversely, the adapter can be releasably coupled to the hub. For example, the adapter may be configured to be easily replaced or substituted so that the rotor can be used with a plruality of different types of adapters. In some instances, the adapter can be exchanged or swapped with other adapters having different types of fastening features, such that a single rotor can be coupled with many different types of drive shafts having different types of fastening features. When desired, a drive shaft coupled to a rotor can be driven (e.g., rotated) by a suitable actuator or drive unit to cause the rotation of the hub and rotor blades. For example, the drive unit can include a motor or engine, such as a rotating motor. The blades can be driven by the drive shaft to spin about an axis of rotation (e.g., the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft) in a clockwise direction and/or a counterclockwise direction. The blades can all spin in the same direction. Alternatively, one or more blades of a rotor can be configured to spin independently, such that some of the blades spin in one direction and other blades spin in the opposite direction. In some embodiments, the blades may all spin at the same rate, while in other embodiments, some of the blades may spin at different rates. The blades may all spin in the same plane of rotation. Alternatively, some of the blades may spin in different planes of rotation, and the different planes may be parallel planes. The rotor can be a horizontal rotor (which may refer to a rotor having a horizontal plane of rotation), a vertically oriented rotor (which may refer to a rotor having a vertical plane of rotation), or a rotor tilted at an intermediate angle between the horizontal and vertical positions. In some embodiments, horizontally oriented rotors may spin and provide lift to the movable object. Vertically oriented rotors may spin and provide thrust to the movable object. Rotors oriented an intermediate angle between the horizontal and vertical positions may spin and provide both lift and thrust to the movable object. One or more rotors may be used to provide a torque counteracting a torque produced by the spinning of another rotor. The forces generated by the rotation of the rotors can be of a sufficient magnitude to propel the movable object. In some embodiments, the rotors can be configured to spin at a rate suitable for generating the desired propulsive forces. The rotation rate can be based on the dimensions of the movable object (e.g., size, weight), and the movable object may have any suitable dimensions as described elsewhere herein. In some instances, the rotation of the rotor can cause the coupling of the hub to the drive shaft to become loosened. For example, fretting-induced motion (e.g., vibration) of the hub and drive shaft during rotor operation can loosen the mating connection of the fastening features. Accordingly, in order to counteract and/or prevent such loosening, the fastening features can be configured to self-tighten during rotor operation. Tightening of a mating connection may involve one or both of the fastening features moving relative to each other. Conversely, tightening may refer to maintaining a current disposition of the fastening features relative to each other without involving any relative movements. Tightening of the fastening feature may prevent or constrain the movement of the rotor relative to the drive shaft. Tightening may refer to preventing or constraining macroscopic movements of the rotor relative to the driver shaft while allowing microscopic movements. The tightening may prevent or constrain movement in one or more directions. For example, tightening may prevent or constrain the rotor from translating along the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft (e.g., up or down the drive shaft). Tightening may prevent or constrain the rotor from translating along the lateral axis of the drive shaft (e.g., forward, backward, left, or right). In some instances, tightening may prevent or constrain the rotor from rotating relative to the hub, such as preventing rotation of the rotor along directions that do not provide the desired propulsive forces. Optionally, the fastening features can include mating locking features configured to constrain or lock the hub and blades at a specified position and/or orientation relative to the drive shaft. The descriptions of fastening features provided herein can also be applied to locking features. Self-tightening, which may also be used to refer to self-locking or self-fastening, may refer to a tightening of the mating connection between the fastening features that occurs without specifically applying a force to produce the tightening. The self-tightening can be an automatic process that occurs without any external intervention (e.g., from a user). In some embodiments, forces exerted on the mating connection during rotor operation may incidentally serve to tighten the mating connection. The mating connection may also be tightened by forces exerted when the rotor is not operating (e.g., not rotating). Such forces may include forces due to inertia, friction, gravity, lift, thrust, drag, air resistance, torque, and the like. The self-tightening force may have a directionality (e.g., right-handed, left-handed, clockwise, counterclockwise). For example, the mating connection may be tightened only by a force or torque applied in certain directions. In some embodiments, self-tightening forces can be generated by rotation of the rotor, such as a clockwise rotation and/or a counterclockwise rotation, and the rotor may be configured to rotate only in the direction(s) causing self-tightening of the mating connection. The tightening direction may be a different direction than the rotation direction of the rotor, such as the opposite of the rotation direction. Conversely, the tightening direction may be the same as the rotation direction. The elements of the exemplary rotors and rotor assemblies described herein (e.g., blades, hub, adapter, drive shaft) may be flexible elements or rigid elements, and can be fabricated using any suitable material or combination of materials. Suitable materials can include metals (e.g., stainless steel, aluminum), plastics (e.g., polystyrene, polypropylene), wood, composite materials (e.g., carbon fiber), and the like. The materials for the rotors and rotor assemblies can be selected based on one or more of strength, weight, durability, stiffness, cost, processing characteristics, and other material properties. In some embodiments, adapters may be fabricated from a material having greater durability than other rotor assembly elements (e.g., the hub, blades) in order to improve the wear resistance and longevity of the fastening features and mating connection surfaces. For example, the hub and blades can be formed from plastic materials, while the adapter can be formed from metallic materials. The couplings described herein can utilize one or more of fasteners (e.g., screws, nuts, bolts, pins, rivets), interference fits, snap fits, adhesives, welding, and the like. When desired, any of the couplings between rotor assembly elements (e.g., blades, hub, adapter, drive shaft, or between components thereof) can utilize the self-tightening fastening features disclosed herein. Referring now to the drawings, FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a rotor 100 for a movable object, in accordance with embodiments. The rotor 100 includes a hub 10 and a plurality of rotor blades 20. Although the rotor 100 is depicted as having two rotor blades 20, any suitable number of rotor blades can be used (e.g., one, two, three, four, five, or more). Each rotor blade 20 includes a proximal end 21 and a distal end 22. The rotor blades 20 can be coupled to the hub 10 by their respective proximal ends 21, such as by permanent coupling or releasable couplings as previously described herein. In some instances, the rotor blades 20 can be integrally formed with the hub 10. The hub 10 and rotor blades 20 can be driven by a suitable drive shaft (not shown) to rotate in a direction A, which is illustrated as a counterclockwise direction. However, in other embodiments, the hub 10 and rotor blades 20 can be configured for clockwise rotation, or for rotation in both directions. The hub 10 can include a fastening feature 11 for coupling the hub to the drive shaft. The fastening feature can be situated on any suitable portion of the hub 10, such as on the exterior, interior, top, bottom, or lateral sides of the hub 10. For example, the fastening feature 11 can be disposed within a cavity 12 of the hub 10, the cavity 12 being shaped to receive an end of a drive shaft. The fastening feature 11 can be integrally formed with the hub 10 such that the hub can be directly coupled to the drive shaft. Alternatively, the hub 10 can be indirectly coupled to the drive shaft, such as by an adapter as previously described herein. For example, the adapter can be configured to be inserted within the cavity 12 of the hub 10. Accordingly, the fastening feature 11 can be disposed on the adapter such that the mating connection is formed between the adapter and the drive shaft, rather than directly between the hub 10 and the drive shaft. The adapter can be formed from having improved durability relative to the hub to improve the lifespan of the fastening feature 11 and mating connection, as described elsewhere herein. The fastening feature 11 can include female screw threads configured to form a mating connection with a complementary fastening feature on the drive shaft (e.g., male screw threads). Although the fastening feature 11 is depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2 as screw threads, this is not intended to be limiting, and any descriptions herein relating to screw threads can be applied to any suitable type of fastening feature. The fastening feature 11 can have a directionality, such that the mating connection is tightened by rotation in a direction B, which is depicted as a clockwise direction. In some instances, the axes of rotation of the rotation direction A and the tightening direction B may be coaxial. Alternatively, the axes of rotation may not be coaxial. In some embodiments, the tightening direction B is configured to be opposite the rotation direction A, such that the mating connection formed by the fastening feature 11 self-tightens as the rotor spins. For example, when the rotation direction A is counterclockwise, the tightening direction B can be clockwise (e.g., as with right-handed screw threads), as depicted in FIGS. 1 and 2. Conversely, when the rotation direction A is clockwise, the tightening direction B can be counterclockwise (e.g., as with left-handed screw threads). Furthermore, by configuring the rotation direction A and the tightening direction B to be opposite, the air resistance experienced by the rotor blades 20 during operation can be balanced by the friction experienced by the mating connection of the fastening feature 11, thereby reducing the magnitude of vibrations and other fretting motions experienced by the rotor 100. FIG. 3 illustrates another example of a rotor 200 for a movable object, in accordance with embodiments. The rotor 200 includes a hub 210 and rotor blades 220. The hub 210 can be configured as an insert 213 with a cylindrical body 210a and a conical cap 210b. The rotor blades 220 can be formed with a cylindrical receptacle 220a having a passage for receiving the insert 213. The rotor blades 220 may be connected to each other via the receptacle 220a. In some instances, the rotor blades 220 may be incorporated into a single integral piece with the receptacle 220a. The rotor blades 220 can be coupled to the hub 210 by inserting the insert 213 into the receptacle 220a. Optionally, the cap 210b of the insert 213 can have a greater maximum cross-sectional area than the body 210a in order to control the depth to which the insert 213 can be inserted into the receptacle 220a. The insert 213 can be permanently affixed or releasably coupled within the receptacle 220a. For example, the insert 213 can be coupled within the receptacle 220a by fasteners, interference fits, snap fits, adhesives, welding, and the like. The body 210a of the insert 213 can include a fastening feature 211 (e.g., female screw threads) disposed within a cavity 211a, similar to the configuration of the rotor 100. Likewise, the fastening feature 211 can be configured to tighten in a direction opposite the rotation of the rotor 200 to provide self-tightening during rotor operation. Optionally, the fastening feature 211 can be situated on an adapter inserted within the cavity 211a and coupled to the body 210a. FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate another example of a rotor 300 for a movable object, in accordance with embodiments. The configuration of the rotor 300 is similar to the configuration of the rotor 200, and any elements of the rotor 300 not specifically described herein can be the same as in the rotor 200 or one or more features or characteristics of the rotor 200 can be applied to the rotor 300. The rotor 300 can be configured to rotate in a clockwise direction. The fastening feature 311 of the rotor 300 can be tightened along a tightening direction C. The tightening direction C can be counterclockwise so that the mating connection formed by the fastening feature 311 is self-tightened by clockwise rotation of the rotor 300. For example, the fastening feature 311 can be left-handed female screw threads configured to couple with complementary left-handed male screw threads of a drive shaft. Alternatively, the rotation direction can be counterclockwise and the tightening direction C can be clockwise. FIG. 6 illustrates another example of a rotor 400 for a movable object, in accordance with embodiments. The configuration of the rotor 400 is similar to the configuration of the rotor 100, and any elements of the rotor 400 not specifically described herein can be the same as in the rotor 100 or one or more features or characteristics of the rotor 100 can be applied to the rotor 400. The rotor 400 includes a hub 410, with fastening features 411 situated on a protrusion 410a of the hub 410. The protrusion 410a can be shaped to be inserted into a cavity within a drive shaft (not shown). Accordingly, the fastening feature 411 can be male screw threads configured to mate with complementary female screw threads situated within the cavity of the drive shaft. Optionally, the fastening feature 411 can be situated on an adapter fitted on or over the protrusion 410a and shaped to be inserted within the cavity of the drive shaft. As previously described herein, the tightening direction of the fastening feature 411 can be opposite the rotation direction of the rotor 400 to enable self-tightening during rotor operation. In some embodiments, the fastening feature 411 can be attached to the hub 410 by means of a connecting element 31a situated on the hub 410. The connecting element 31a may be integrally formed with the hub 410. Conversely, the connecting element 31a may be formed separately from the hub 410. For example, the connecting element 31a may be formed on the bottom surface of the hub 410 and configured to engage the upper surface of the protrusion 410a in order to couple the fastening feature 411 to the hub 410. The connecting element 31a may be coupled to the protrusion 410a using any suitable means, such as fasteners, interference fits, snap fits, adhesives, welding, and the like. The connecting element 31a and the protrusion 410a may be fixedly coupled to each other. Alternatively, the connecting element 31a may be releasably coupled to the protrusion 410a. FIGS. 7A and 7B illustrate a rotor 500 for a movable object, in accordance with embodiments. The rotor 500 includes a hub 510 and blades 520. The blades 520 can be integrally formed with the hub 510. The hub 510 can include a fastening feature 511 for coupling the rotor to a drive shaft. The fastening feature 511 can be self-tightening, such that rotation of the rotor 500 tightens the mating connection of the fastening feature 511 with the drive shaft as described herein. In some embodiments, the fastening feature 511 can be a locking feature configured to lock the hub 510 at a specified position and/or orientation relative to the drive shaft. For example, the fastening feature 511 can include an aperture 512, a pair of guides 513, and a pair of stops 514 configured for locking the rotor 500 to a drive shaft, as described in further detail below. The aperture 512 can provide a passage through the center of the hub 510. The guides 513 can be curved ramps disposed within the passage and reducing the circumference of a portion of the aperture 512. The guides 513 can partially span the circumference of the aperture 512, such that each guide is terminated at on end by a gap 515 and at the other by a stop 514. The stops 514 can be protrusions extending into the aperture 512 towards the axis of rotation of the rotor 500. The stops 514 can have a greater thickness than the guides 513, such that the upper surfaces of the stops 514 are flush with the upper surface of the rotor 500, while the upper surfaces of the guides 513 are offset from the upper surface of the rotor 500. Upper surface may refer to the surfaces visible in the depiction of FIG. 7A. FIGS. 8A, 8B, and 8C illustrate a portion of a drive shaft 600 of a rotor, in accordance with embodiments. The drive shaft 600 can include a shaft body 602, a base 604, and a fastening feature 606. The fastening feature 606 can be configured to form a mating connection with complementary fastening features of a rotor. Optionally, the fastening feature 606 can be a self-tightening fastening feature as described herein. In some embodiments, the fastening feature 606 can be a locking feature configured to lock a rotor at a specified position and/or orientation relative to the drive shaft 600. For example, the fastening features can include a pair of protrusions 608 shaped to mount and lock the hub 510 of the rotor 500 by engaging the aperture 512, guides 513, and stops 514, as described below. The protrusions 608 can be rounded structures extending outward from the shaft body 602 at a suitable height above the base 604. The protrusions 608 can be disposed symmetrically about the axis of rotation of the drive shaft 600 and be shaped to fit within the gaps 515 of the rotor 500. FIGS. 9-12 illustrate the rotor 500 being mounted onto the drive shaft 600. In FIG. 9, the rotor 500 and a portion of the drive shaft 600 are shown prior to mounting. In FIG. 10, the end of the drive shaft 600 is inserted into the hub 510 such that the protrusions 608 pass through the gaps 515 formed by the guides 513 within the aperture 512. To tighten the rotor 500 on the drive shaft 600, the rotor 500 can rotated be along a tightening direction relative to the drive shaft 600, depicted as a clockwise direction in FIG. 11. As the rotor 500 rotates, the protrusions 608 slide within the aperture 512 and over the upper surfaces of the guides 513 until they are pressed against the stops 514, thus tightening the coupling between the rotor 500 and the drive shaft 600. Optionally, the upper surfaces of the guides 513 can be angled upwards, such that the mating connection can be tightened as the protrusions 608 are advanced along the guides 513. Alternatively, the upper surfaces of the guides 513 may be flat. FIG. 12 illustrates the final locked position of the rotor 500 and drive shaft 600. In the locked position, the protrusions 608 can be configured to rest on the guides 513 in a position engaging the stops 514 such that the rotor 500 is prevented from becoming uncoupled from the drive shaft 600. For example, the protrusions 608 may be pressed against the upper surfaces of the guides 513 to prevent the rotor 500 from moving longitudinally relative to the drive shaft 600. Furthermore, in some embodiments, the rotor 500 can be configured to rotate in a direction opposite of the tightening direction, such that the rotor 500 is self-tightened onto the drive shaft 600 by the forces generated by the rotation, as described herein. For example, in the embodiments of FIGS. 9-12, the tightening direction is depicted as clockwise and the rotation direction counterclockwise, such that the protrusions 608 are held flush against the stops 514 by the counterclockwise rotation of the rotor 500. However, if the rotor 500 is configured to rotate in a clockwise direction, the fastening features 511, 606 can be configured such that the tightening direction for locking the rotor 500 is counterclockwise. The systems, devices, and methods described herein can be applied to a wide variety of movable objects. As previously mentioned, any description herein of an aerial vehicle may apply to and be used for any movable object. A movable object of the present invention can be configured to move within any suitable environment, such as in air (e.g., a fixed-wing aircraft, a rotary-wing aircraft, or an aircraft having neither fixed wings nor rotary wings), in water (e.g., a ship or a submarine), on ground (e.g., a motor vehicle, such as a car, truck, bus, van, motorcycle; a movable structure or frame such as a stick, fishing pole; or a train), under the ground (e.g., a subway), in space (e.g., a spaceplane, a satellite, or a probe), or any combination of these environments. The movable object can be a vehicle, such as a vehicle described elsewhere herein. In some embodiments, the movable object can be mounted on a living subject, such as a human or an animal. Suitable animals can include avines, canines, felines, equines, bovines, ovines, porcines, delphines, rodents, or insects. The movable object may be capable of moving freely within the environment with respect to six degrees of freedom (e.g., three degrees of freedom in translation and three degrees of freedom in rotation). Alternatively, the movement of the movable object can be constrained with respect to one or more degrees of freedom, such as by a predetermined path, track, or orientation. The movement can be actuated by any suitable actuation mechanism, such as an engine or a motor. The actuation mechanism of the movable object can be powered by any suitable energy source, such as electrical energy, magnetic energy, solar energy, wind energy, gravitational energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, or any suitable combination thereof. The movable object may be self-propelled via a propulsion system, as described elsewhere herein. The propulsion system may optionally run on an energy source, such as electrical energy, magnetic energy, solar energy, wind energy, gravitational energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, or any suitable combination thereof. Alternatively, the movable object may be carried by a living being. In some instances, the movable object can be a vehicle. Suitable vehicles may include water vehicles, aerial vehicles, space vehicles, or ground vehicles. For example, aerial vehicles may be fixed-wing aircraft (e.g., airplane, gliders), rotary-wing aircraft (e.g., helicopters, rotorcraft), aircraft having both fixed wings and rotary wings, or aircraft having neither (e.g., blimps, hot air balloons). A vehicle can be self-propelled, such as self-propelled through the air, on or in water, in space, or on or under the ground. A self-propelled vehicle can utilize a propulsion system, such as a propulsion system including one or more engines, motors, wheels, axles, magnets, rotors, propellers, blades, nozzles, or any suitable combination thereof. In some instances, the propulsion system can be used to enable the movable object to take off from a surface, land on a surface, maintain its current position and/or orientation (e.g., hover), change orientation, and/or change position. The movable object can be controlled remotely by a user or controlled locally by an occupant within or on the movable object. In some embodiments, the movable object is an unmanned movable object, such as a UAV. An unmanned movable object, such as a UAV, may not have an occupant onboard the movable object. The movable object can be controlled by a human or an autonomous control system (e.g., a computer control system), or any suitable combination thereof. The movable object can be an autonomous or semi-autonomous robot, such as a robot configured with an artificial intelligence. The movable object can have any suitable size and/or dimensions. In some embodiments, the movable object may be of a size and/or dimensions to have a human occupant within or on the vehicle. Alternatively, the movable object may be of size and/or dimensions smaller than that capable of having a human occupant within or on the vehicle. The movable object may be of a size and/or dimensions suitable for being lifted or carried by a human. Alternatively, the movable object may be larger than a size and/or dimensions suitable for being lifted or carried by a human. In some instances, the movable object may have a maximum dimension (e.g., length, width, height, diameter, diagonal) of less than or equal to about: 2 cm, 5 cm, 10 cm, 50 cm, 1 m, 2 m, 5 m, or 10 m. The maximum dimension may be greater than or equal to about: 2 cm, 5 cm, 10 cm, 50 cm, 1 m, 2 m, 5 m, or 10 m. For example, the distance between shafts of opposite rotors of the movable object may be less than or equal to about: 2 cm, 5 cm, 10 cm, 50 cm, 1 m, 2 m, 5 m, or 10 m. Alternatively, the distance between shafts of opposite rotors may be greater than or equal to about: 2 cm, 5 cm, 10 cm, 50 cm, 1 m, 2 m, 5 m, or 10 m. In some embodiments, the movable object may have a volume of less than 100 cm×100 cm×100 cm, less than 50 cm×50 cm×30 cm, or less than 5 cm×5 cm×3 cm. The total volume of the movable object may be less than or equal to about: 1 cm3, 2 cm3, 5 cm3, 10 cm3, 20 cm3, 30 cm3, 40 cm3, 50 cm3, 60 cm3, 70 cm3, 80 cm3, 90 cm3, 100 cm3, 150 cm3, 200 cm3, 300 cm3, 500 cm, 750 cm3, 1000 cm3, 5000 cm3, 10,000 cm3, 100,000 cm3, 1 m3, or 10 m3.

In some instances, the movable object may weigh no more than 1000 kg. The weight of the movable object may be less than or equal to about: 1000 kg, 750 kg, 500 kg, 200 kg, 150 kg, 100 kg, 80 kg, 70 kg, 60 kg, 50 kg, 45 kg, 40 kg, 35 kg, 30 kg, 25 kg, 20 kg, 15 kg, 12 kg, 10 kg, 9 kg, 8 kg, 7 kg, 6 kg, 5 kg, 4 kg, 3 kg, 2 kg, 1 kg, 0.5 kg, 0.1 kg, 0.05 kg, or 0.01 kg.

In some embodiments, a movable object may be small relative to a load carried by the movable object. The load may include a payload and/or a carrier, as described in further detail below. In some examples, a ratio of an movable object weight to a load weight may be greater than, less than, or equal to about 1:1. In some instances, a ratio of an movable object weight to a load weight may be greater than, less than, or equal to about 1:1. Optionally, a ratio of a carrier weight to a load weight may be greater than, less than, or equal to about 1:1. When desired, the ratio of an movable object weight to a load weight may be less than or equal to: 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:10, or even less. Conversely, the ratio of an movable object weight to a load weight can also be greater than or equal to: 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 10:1, or even greater. In some embodiments, the movable object may have low energy consumption. For example, the movable object may use less than about: 5 W/h, 4 W/h, 3 W/h, 2 W/h, 1 W/h, or less. In some instances, a carrier of the movable object may have low energy consumption. For example, the carrier may use less than about: 5 W/h, 4 W/h, 3 W/h, 2 W/h, 1 W/h, or less. Optionally, a payload of the movable object may have low energy consumption, such as less than about: 5 W/h, 4 W/h, 3 W/h, 2 W/h, 1 W/h, or less. FIG. 13 illustrates an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) 700, in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. The UAV may be an example of a movable object as described herein. The UAV 700 can include a propulsion system having four rotors 702, 704, 706, and 708. Any number of rotors may be provided (e.g., one, two, three, four, five, six, or more). The rotors can be embodiments of the self-tightening rotors described elsewhere herein. The rotors, rotor assemblies, or other propulsion systems of the unmanned aerial vehicle may enable the unmanned aerial vehicle to hover/maintain position, change orientation, and/or change location. The distance between shafts of opposite rotors can be any suitable length 710. For example, the length 710 can be less than or equal to 2 m, or less than equal to 5 m. In some embodiments, the length 710 can be within a range from 40 cm to 7 m, from 70 cm to 2 m, or from 5 cm to 5 m. Any description herein of a UAV may apply to a movable object, such as a movable object of a different type, and vice versa. In some embodiments, the movable object can be configured to carry a load. The load can include one or more of passengers, cargo, equipment, instruments, and the like. The load can be provided within a housing. The housing may be separate from a housing of the movable object, or be part of a housing for an movable object. Alternatively, the load can be provided with a housing while the movable object does not have a housing. Alternatively, portions of the load or the entire load can be provided without a housing. The load can be rigidly fixed relative to the movable object. Optionally, the load can be movable relative to the movable object (e.g., translatable or rotatable relative to the movable object). In some embodiments, the load includes a payload. The payload can be configured not to perform any operation or function. Alternatively, the payload can be a payload configured to perform an operation or function, also known as a functional payload. For example, the payload can include one or more sensors for surveying one or more targets. Any suitable sensor can be incorporated into the payload, such as an image capture device (e.g., a camera), an audio capture device (e.g., a parabolic microphone), an infrared imaging device, or an ultraviolet imaging device. The sensor can provide static sensing data (e.g., a photograph) or dynamic sensing data (e.g., a video). In some embodiments, the sensor provides sensing data for the target of the payload. Alternatively or in combination, the payload can include one or more emitters for providing signals to one or more targets. Any suitable emitter can be used, such as an illumination source or a sound source. In some embodiments, the payload includes one or more transceivers, such as for communication with a module remote from the movable object. Optionally, the payload can be configured to interact with the environment or a target. For example, the payload can include a tool, instrument, or mechanism capable of manipulating objects, such as a robotic arm. Optionally, the load may include a carrier. The carrier can be provided for the payload and the payload can be coupled to the movable object via the carrier, either directly (e.g., directly contacting the movable object) or indirectly (e.g., not contacting the movable object). Conversely, the payload can be mounted on the movable object without requiring a carrier. The payload can be integrally formed with the carrier. Alternatively, the payload can be releasably coupled to the carrier. In some embodiments, the payload can include one or more payload elements, and one or more of the payload elements can be movable relative to the movable object and/or the carrier, as described above. The carrier can be integrally formed with the movable object. Alternatively, the carrier can be releasably coupled to the movable object. The carrier can be coupled to the movable object directly or indirectly. The carrier can provide support to the payload (e.g., carry at least part of the weight of the payload). The carrier can include a suitable mounting structure (e.g., a gimbal platform) capable of stabilizing and/or directing the movement of the payload. In some embodiments, the carrier can be adapted to control the state of the payload (e.g., position and/or orientation) relative to the movable object. For example, the carrier can be configured to move relative to the movable object (e.g., with respect to one, two, or three degrees of translation and/or one, two, or three degrees of rotation) such that the payload maintains its position and/or orientation relative to a suitable reference frame regardless of the movement of the movable object. The reference frame can be a fixed reference frame (e.g., the surrounding environment). Alternatively, the reference frame can be a moving reference frame (e.g., the movable object, a payload target). In some embodiments, the carrier can be configured to permit movement of the payload relative to the carrier and/or movable object. The movement can be a translation with respect to up to three degrees of freedom (e.g., along one, two, or three axes) or a rotation with respect to up to three degrees of freedom (e.g., about one, two, or three axes), or any suitable combination thereof. In some instances, the carrier can include a carrier frame assembly and a carrier actuation assembly. The carrier frame assembly can provide structural support to the payload. The carrier frame assembly can include individual carrier frame components, some of which can be movable relative to one another. The carrier actuation assembly can include one or more actuators (e.g., motors) that actuate movement of the individual carrier frame components. The actuators can permit the movement of multiple carrier frame components simultaneously, or may be configured to permit the movement of a single carrier frame component at a time. The movement of the carrier frame components can produce a corresponding movement of the payload. For example, the carrier actuation assembly can actuate a rotation of one or more carrier frame components about one or more axes of rotation (e.g., roll axis, pitch axis, or yaw axis). The rotation of the one or more carrier frame components can cause a payload to rotate about one or more axes of rotation relative to the movable object. Alternatively or in combination, the carrier actuation assembly can actuate a translation of one or more carrier frame components along one or more axes of translation, and thereby produce a translation of the payload along one or more corresponding axes relative to the movable object. In some embodiments, the movement of the movable object, carrier, and payload relative to a fixed reference frame (e.g., the surrounding environment) and/or to each other, can be controlled by a terminal. The terminal can be a remote control device at a location distant from the movable object, carrier, and/or payload. The terminal can be disposed on or affixed to a support platform. Alternatively, the terminal can be a handheld or wearable device. For example, the terminal can include a smartphone, tablet, laptop, computer, glasses, gloves, helmet, microphone, or suitable combinations thereof. The terminal can include a user interface, such as a keyboard, mouse, joystick, touchscreen, or display. Any suitable user input can be used to interact with the terminal, such as manually entered commands, voice control, gesture control, or position control (e.g., via a movement, location or tilt of the terminal). The terminal can be used to control any suitable state of the movable object, carrier, and/or payload. For example, the terminal can be used to control the position and/or orientation of the movable object, carrier, and/or payload relative to a fixed reference from and/or to each other. In some embodiments, the terminal can be used to control individual elements of the movable object, carrier, and/or payload, such as the actuation assembly of the carrier, a sensor of the payload, or an emitter of the payload. The terminal can include a wireless communication device adapted to communicate with one or more of the movable object, carrier, or payload. The terminal can include a suitable display unit for viewing information of the movable object, carrier, and/or payload. For example, the terminal can be configured to display information of the movable object, carrier, and/or payload with respect to position, translational velocity, translational acceleration, orientation, angular velocity, angular acceleration, or any suitable combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the terminal can display information provided by the payload, such as data provided by a functional payload (e.g., images recorded by a camera or other image capturing device). Optionally, the same terminal may both control the movable object, carrier, and/or payload, or a state of the movable object, carrier and/or payload, as well as receive and/or display information from the movable object, carrier and/or payload. For example, a terminal may control the positioning of the payload relative to an environment, while displaying image data captured by the payload, or information about the position of the payload. Alternatively, different terminals may be used for different functions. For example, a first terminal may control movement or a state of the movable object, carrier, and/or payload while a second terminal may receive and/or display information from the movable object, carrier, and/or payload. For example, a first terminal may be used to control the positioning of the payload relative to an environment while a second terminal displays image data captured by the payload. Various communication modes may be utilized between a movable object and an integrated terminal that both controls the movable object and receives data, or between the movable object and multiple terminals that both control the movable object and receives data. For example, at least two different communication modes may be formed between the movable object and the terminal that both controls the movable object and receives data from the movable object. FIG. 14 illustrates a movable object 800 including a carrier 802 and a payload 804, in accordance with embodiments. Although the movable object 800 is depicted as an aircraft, this depiction is not intended to be limiting, and any suitable type of movable object can be used, as previously described herein. One of skill in the art would appreciate that any of the embodiments described herein in the context of aircraft systems can be applied to any suitable movable object (e.g., an UAV). In some instances, the payload 804 may be provided on the movable object 800 without requiring the carrier 802. The movable object 800 may include propulsion mechanisms 806, a sensing system 808, and a communication system 810. The propulsion mechanisms 806 can include one or more of rotors, propellers, blades, engines, motors, wheels, axles, magnets, or nozzles, as previously described. For example, the propulsion mechanisms 806 may be self-tightening rotors, rotor assemblies, or other rotary propulsion units, as disclosed elsewhere herein. The movable object may have one or more, two or more, three or more, or four or more propulsion mechanisms. The propulsion mechanisms may all be of the same type. Alternatively, one or more propulsion mechanisms can be different types of propulsion mechanisms. The propulsion mechanisms 806 can be mounted on the movable object 800 using any suitable means, such as a support element (e.g., a drive shaft) as described elsewhere herein. The propulsion mechanisms 806 can be mounted on any suitable portion of the movable object 800, such on the top, bottom, front, back, sides, or suitable combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the propulsion mechanisms 806 can enable the movable object 800 to take off vertically from a surface or land vertically on a surface without requiring any horizontal movement of the movable object 800 (e.g., without traveling down a runway). Optionally, the propulsion mechanisms 806 can be operable to permit the movable object 800 to hover in the air at a specified position and/or orientation. One or more of the propulsion mechanisms 800 may be controlled independently of the other propulsion mechanisms. Alternatively, the propulsion mechanisms 800 can be configured to be controlled simultaneously. For example, the movable object 800 can have multiple horizontally oriented rotors that can provide lift and/or thrust to the movable object. The multiple horizontally oriented rotors can be actuated to provide vertical takeoff, vertical landing, and hovering capabilities to the movable object 800. In some embodiments, one or more of the horizontally oriented rotors may spin in a clockwise direction, while one or more of the horizontally rotors may spin in a counterclockwise direction. For example, the number of clockwise rotors may be equal to the number of counterclockwise rotors. The rotation rate of each of the horizontally oriented rotors can be varied independently in order to control the lift and/or thrust produced by each rotor, and thereby adjust the spatial disposition, velocity, and/or acceleration of the movable object 800 (e.g., with respect to up to three degrees of translation and up to three degrees of rotation). The sensing system 808 can include one or more sensors that may sense the spatial disposition, velocity, and/or acceleration of the movable object 800 (e.g., with respect to up to three degrees of translation and up to three degrees of rotation). The one or more sensors can include global positioning system (GPS) sensors, motion sensors, inertial sensors, proximity sensors, or image sensors. The sensing data provided by the sensing system 808 can be used to control the spatial disposition, velocity, and/or orientation of the movable object 800 (e.g., using a suitable processing unit and/or control module, as described below). Alternatively, the sensing system 808 can be used to provide data regarding the environment surrounding the movable object, such as weather conditions, proximity to potential obstacles, location of geographical features, location of manmade structures, and the like. The communication system 810 enables communication with terminal 812 having a communication system 814 via wireless signals 816. The communication systems 810, 814 may include any number of transmitters, receivers, and/or transceivers suitable for wireless communication. The communication may be one-way communication, such that data can be transmitted in only one direction. For example, one-way communication may involve only the movable object 800 transmitting data to the terminal 812, or vice-versa. The data may be transmitted from one or more transmitters of the communication system 810 to one or more receivers of the communication system 812, or vice-versa. Alternatively, the communication may be two-way communication, such that data can be transmitted in both directions between the movable object 800 and the terminal 812. The two-way communication can involve transmitting data from one or more transmitters of the communication system 810 to one or more receivers of the communication system 814, and vice-versa. In some embodiments, the terminal 812 can provide control data to one or more of the movable object 800, carrier 802, and payload 804 and receive information from one or more of the movable object 800, carrier 802, and payload 804 (e.g., position and/or motion information of the movable object, carrier or payload; data sensed by the payload such as image data captured by a payload camera). In some instances, control data from the terminal may include instructions for relative positions, movements, actuations, or controls of the movable object, carrier and/or payload. For example, the control data may result in a modification of the location and/or orientation of the movable object (e.g., via control of the propulsion mechanisms 806), or a movement of the payload with respect to the movable object (e.g., via control of the carrier 802). The control data from the terminal may result in control of the payload, such as control of the operation of a camera or other image capturing device (e.g., taking still or moving pictures, zooming in or out, turning on or off, switching imaging modes, change image resolution, changing focus, changing depth of field, changing exposure time, changing viewing angle or field of view). In some instances, the communications from the movable object, carrier and/or payload may include information from one or more sensors (e.g., of the sensing system 808 or of the payload 804). The communications may include sensed information from one or more different types of sensors (e.g., GPS sensors, motion sensors, inertial sensor, proximity sensors, or image sensors). Such information may pertain to the position (e.g., location, orientation), movement, or acceleration of the movable object, carrier and/or payload. Such information from a payload may include data captured by the payload or a sensed state of the payload. The control data provided transmitted by the terminal 812 can be configured to control a state of one or more of the movable object 800, carrier 802, or payload 804. Alternatively or in combination, the carrier 802 and payload 804 can also each include a communication module configured to communicate with terminal 812, such that the terminal can communicate with and control each of the movable object 800, carrier 802, and payload 804 independently. In some embodiments, the movable object 800 can be configured to communicate with another remote device in addition to the terminal 812, or instead of the terminal 812. The terminal 812 may also be configured to communicate with another remote device as well as the movable object 800. For example, the movable object 800 and/or terminal 812 may communicate with another movable object, or a carrier or payload of another movable object. When desired, the remote device may be a second terminal or other computing device (e.g., computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, or other mobile device). The remote device can be configured to transmit data to the movable object 800, receive data from the movable object 800, transmit data to the terminal 812, and/or receive data from the terminal 812. Optionally, the remote device can be connected to the Internet or other telecommunications network, such that data received from the movable object 800 and/or terminal 812 can be uploaded to a website or server. FIG. 15 is a schematic illustration by way of block diagram of a system 900 for controlling a movable object, in accordance with embodiments. The system 900 can be used in combination with any suitable embodiment of the systems, devices, and methods disclosed herein. The system 900 can include a sensing module 902, processing unit 904, non-transitory computer readable medium 906, control module 908, and communication module 910. The sensing module 902 can utilize different types of sensors that collect information relating to the movable objects in different ways. Different types of sensors may sense different types of signals or signals from different sources. For example, the sensors can include inertial sensors, GPS sensors, proximity sensors (e.g., lidar), or vision/image sensors (e.g., a camera). The sensing module 902 can be operatively coupled to a processing unit 904 having a plurality of processors. In some embodiments, the sensing module can be operatively coupled to a transmission module 912 (e.g., a Wi-Fi image transmission module) configured to directly transmit sensing data to a suitable external device or system. For example, the transmission module 912 can be used to transmit images captured by a camera of the sensing module 902 to a remote terminal. The processing unit 904 can have one or more processors, such as a programmable processor (e.g., a central processing unit (CPU)). The processing unit 904 can be operatively coupled to a non-transitory computer readable medium 906. The non-transitory computer readable medium 906 can store logic, code, and/or program instructions executable by the processing unit 904 for performing one or more steps. The non-transitory computer readable medium can include one or more memory units (e.g., removable media or external storage such as an SD card or random access memory (RAM)). In some embodiments, data from the sensing module 902 can be directly conveyed to and stored within the memory units of the non-transitory computer readable medium 906. The memory units of the non-transitory computer readable medium 906 can store logic, code and/or program instructions executable by the processing unit 904 to perform any suitable embodiment of the methods described herein. For example, the processing unit 904 can be configured to execute instructions causing one or more processors of the processing unit 904 to analyze sensing data produced by the sensing module. The memory units can store sensing data from the sensing module to be processed by the processing unit 904. In some embodiments, the memory units of the non-transitory computer readable medium 906 can be used to store the processing results produced by the processing unit 904. In some embodiments, the processing unit 904 can be operatively coupled to a control module 908 configured to control a state of the movable object. For example, the control module 908 can be configured to control the propulsion mechanisms of the movable object to adjust the spatial disposition, velocity, and/or acceleration of the movable object with respect to six degrees of freedom. Alternatively or in combination, the control module 908 can control one or more of a state of a carrier, payload, or sensing module. The processing unit 904 can be operatively coupled to a communication module 910 configured to transmit and/or receive data from one or more external devices (e.g., a terminal, display device, or other remote controller). Any suitable means of communication can be used, such as wired communication or wireless communication. For example, the communication module 910 can utilize one or more of local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN), infrared, radio, WiFi, point-to-point (P2P) networks, telecommunication networks, cloud communication, and the like. Optionally, relay stations, such as towers, satellites, or mobile stations, can be used. Wireless communications can be proximity dependent or proximity independent. In some embodiments, line-of-sight may or may not be required for communications. The communication module 910 can transmit and/or receive one or more of sensing data from the sensing module 902, processing results produced by the processing unit 904, predetermined control data, user commands from a terminal or remote controller, and the like. The components of the system 900 can be arranged in any suitable configuration. For example, one or more of the components of the system 900 can be located on the movable object, carrier, payload, terminal, sensing system, or an additional external device in communication with one or more of the above. Additionally, although FIG. 15 depicts a single processing unit 904 and a single non-transitory computer readable medium 906, one of skill in the art would appreciate that this is not intended to be limiting, and that the system 900 can include a plurality of processing units and/or non-transitory computer readable media. In some embodiments, one or more of the plurality of processing units and/or non-transitory computer readable media can be situated at different locations, such as on the movable object, carrier, payload, terminal, sensing module, additional external device in communication with one or more of the above, or suitable combinations thereof, such that any suitable aspect of the processing and/or memory functions performed by the system 900 can occur at one or more of the aforementioned locations.

The mystery surrounding a 2-year-old Wisconsin girl at the center of a nationwide search since Monday, came to a head late Friday evening when her remains were found on the side of a Minnesota highway. Sadly, Noelani Robinson was found dead around 7 p.m. Friday, after a man driving home saw something “out of the norm” on the side of the road and alerted police, WITI-TV reported. “He called this tip into the local police department … and just off the shoulder was a blanket and wrapped in there was the body of a child. We believe it is that of Noelani,”said Milwaukee Police Chief Alfonso Morales in a Saturday news conference. Robinson’s body appeared to have been there for “quite some time” Morales said. Police will know more, including her cause of death, once an autopsy is performed. On Wednesday, Milwaukee police arrested a person of interest in the child’s death, her father, 34-year-old Dariaz Higgins. Early in the week, Higgins allegedly shot the little girl’s mother, Sierra Robinson, 24, and another woman outside a Milwaukee apartment building. Robinson was declared dead at the scene, while the other victim was treated at a local hospital, WTMJ reported. Robinson was not found with her father when Higgins was apprehended by law officials, and an Amber Alert issued earlier in the week remained in effect. “The suspect is a cold-blooded killer,” Morales told WISN. Several social media users reacted with heartbreak over the tragic news of the child. “My heart breaks for this beautiful little girl. She didn’t deserve this, neither did her mother. My only hope is Dariaz Higgins is found guilty of murder & he gets what he deserves in jail by his follow inmates POS!,” wrote one Twitter user. With the discovery of the 2-year-old’s body, her father, Higgins, had his bond set for $1 million on Sunday, WITI reported. The news outlet further reported that the Southern Minnesota Regional Medical Examiner’s Office determined that Noelani died due to blunt force trauma to the head. At Least 6 Dead, 23 Injured in Elementary School Bus Crash in Chattanooga, Tenn.

Which country are you watching? Forget about the U.S., Europe, India and even China: the smart grid market is truly global, worth at least $27 billion and potentially $49 billion in emerging countries from Eastern Europe to Latin American to North Africa, according to a new study from Northeast Group. In nearly half of the 25 countries covered in the study, there are already smart grid deployments in the works in the next one to three years. These include Brazil, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Mexico, Poland, Romania, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, and the United Arab Emirates. For many of the countries, the drivers for smart meters make for a solid business case. Many have far less reliable grids than the U.S. or Europe, and are far below the reliability of countries like Japan or Korea. Latin America leads the group in distribution loss rate, with an average loss of 16 percent. Many suffer from high rates of electricity theft, an issue that was a driver for Enel’s early investment in smart metering in Italy. Although there are reliability issues, there is also surging demand for electricity. The average growth rate for the countries is more than four percent in the next few years, with Southeast Asia expected to grow at 5.7 percent, compared to 1.7 percent for North America, Western Europe and Japan. Brazil is the largest piece of the pie, with targets for about 65 million smart meters to be installed by 2021. Vendors are already jockeying for position in the market, with Echelon, Landis+Gyr, Silver Spring Networks, Itron and Cisco all making inroads and forming local partnerships. Mexico is second in line in the Latin American market, with an estimated 21 million smart meters to be installed by the end of the decade. As in the U.S., the study conducted by the Northeast Group found that advanced metering is likely to come before other smart grid projects such as distribution automation, substation automation and distributed generation projects. However, in some regions like Latin America, there is already a drive for substation and distribution automation to combat high loss rates. Also similar to more developed smart grid markets, government mandates are likely to be a key driver for the at least 113 million smart meters mandated to be in place across the 25 countries by 2020. In addition to Brazil’s target of 65 million smart meters, Central and Eastern European countries that are EU members have to meet the EU directive for 2020 that includes higher penetration of renewables, which could also be a driver for smart grid investment in distribution automation if the renewables are distributed. However, many Eastern European countries are still awaiting decisions about full smart meter directives. In the Czech Republic, for example, pilots that are underway could determine whether there is a national rollout, according to the GTM Research report The Smart Grid in Europe, 2012-2016. Currently, utilities in the Czech Republic are planning on installing one million meters in the coming years. The government mandates are not as strong in most of the Middle East for smart grid as they are in countries like Brazil, but the Northeast Group report noted that consumption rates in some Middle Eastern countries are already well above those of Western Europe. As such, the need for more efficient infrastructure and demand management will be key.

Architectural fees can be based on a percentage of the cost of the building. The reason for relating the architectural fee to building costs is that the factors affecting the cost to build also affect the time required to design. A large and complex project will naturally take longer to design and cost more to build than a small and simple one. *Packages A & B: Value of building work verified by builder or quantity surveyor. **Package C: Value of building work as per building contract price. - % = Percentage of building cost used to calculate the architectural fees.

Hand gesture recognition (HGR) is an important research topic because some situations require silent communication with sign languages. Computational HGR systems assist silent communication, and help people learn a sign language. In this thesis. a novel method for contact-less HGR using Microsoft Kinect for Xbox is described, and a real-time HCR system is implemented with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. Two different scenarios for HGR are provided: the Popular Gesture with nine gestures, and the Numbers with nine gestures. The system allows the users to select a scenario, and it is able to detect hand gestures made by users. to identify fingers, and to recognize the meanings of gestures, and to display the meanings and pictures on screen. The accuracy of the HGR system is from 84% to 99% with single hand gestures, and from 90% to 100% if both hands perform the same gesture at the same time. Because the depth sensor of Kinect is an infrared camera, the lighting conditions. signers' skin colors and clothing, and background have little impact on the performance of this system. The accuracy and the robustness make this system a versatile component that can be integrated in a variety of applications in daily life. Li, Yi 1989-, "Hand gesture recognition using Kinect."
