Trust Pharmacy – Can You Really Trust An Online Pharmacy? Medications have become one of many artificially created substances that human beings use every day. However, unlike things like plastic products and other materials that we use commercially, medications must be taken into the body, which means that scientists, researchers, and ultimately the companies producing them must ensure the populace that the medications are safe to consume. Thankfully, medications must go through a rigorous process to be accepted as a treatment for conditions. But, what about pharmacies, especially the ones online? Is there a way to assure that we can trust them? The pharmacy has plenty of features that are geared towards making the experience more enjoyable for their customers. For example, they offer plenty of special offers right on their homepage, offering some of the lowest prices for meds, especially bestsellers like Viagra and Cialis. They offer to present the site in a number of languages and different currencies that suit the user’s needs. They have even provided US and UK numbers that you can use to contact the customer service with if you are experiencing any trouble. Finally, they have guaranteed customers that delivery will be prompt and on time. However, despite all of these amazing claims on the site, there is still reason to shed suspicion on sites like these. One of the main problems that online pharmacies face is establishing a sense of reliability and trustworthiness with their clients and the public in general. This is due to the fact that thousands of prior customers have been able to share their experiences of getting scammed out of their money by a seemingly legitimate online pharmacy. Canadian pharmacies, for example, have made quite a name for themselves online due to the lowered prices compared to other Western countries and the exceptional service that Canadian healthcare is known for. However, it seems that many websites claiming to be based in Canada are not, which spreads the doubt about which sites to trust. For Canadian pharmacies, there is an association called CIPA that is composed of approved and licensed pharmaceutical vendors. They have dedicated their time and efforts to find out which Canadian sites are the real deal and which are not. They have also conveniently set up a list of sites that are approved or otherwise. CIPA members are known not to send spam to customers of their services, nor do they sell any substances without someone presenting their prescription. Unfortunately, it seems that trust Pharmacy has been included in the rogue pharmacy list, which means that it cannot be trusted despite its name. Trust Pharmacy has definitely set itself up in the online world with a widespread name and reputation. This can be seen in the fact that there are several hundreds of people ordering their drugs from the site every day. The same can be said of others of the same vein, it seems, as there is another pharmacy that is located in the UK at Nottingham, which shares the same name as the Trust Pharmacy predecessor from Canada. Many of the customers that have used this service have given an excellent rating to the website and declared that the pharmacists on site were professional, and that service was efficient and friendly. Aside from being helpful, the professionals helping customers also displayed compassion and dedication to their field. One person gave an account of leaving behind their medication, to which the pharmacy helped them recover it. Also, some had said that they had been able to receive their drugs promptly upon arrival. In the same vein as Trust Pharmacy, it can be easy to be misled by the little markers you can find on a website, such as the security guarantees and the free shipping fees, but it is ultimately up to the client to look into the validity of a site or face the possibility of getting scammed. When it comes to any business, trust is an important aspect that lets customers put their faith in you and has them coming back for more service. Online pharmacies need to overcome the hurdle that comes with internet business stigma. Unfortunately, many websites are not helping their case at all. Trust Pharmacy, while having the look and feel of a genuine online pharmacy that will help you get the meds you need, the site has actually been flagged as a site that is not reliable and that should not be engaged with by the CIPA. Other pharmacies of similar names such as the Trust Pharmacy operating in the UK and World Trust Pharmacy need more digging for you to really determine if they are good websites to be using. One of the many ways to do this is to consult review websites and organizations that accredit online pharmacies. Finally, you can take a look at the approved online pharmacies we’ve got recommended for readers here.

I accidentally dropped something behind the bed side table which made me look and it was very grubby down there. Made me bring to question the actual cleanliness of the room. Stayed here for my dad's 90th birthday. It's a place he's spoke of wanting to visit on numerous occasions over several years. Although there was a large wedding on at the same time, we never felt we were being pushed out,hurried or moved along. Rooms were lovely and comfortable with everything you'd need for a short stay. Staff were realmy nice and welcoming and there was nothing that was too much trouble for them.

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

How do you feel when you take a look at your home’s exterior. If you suddenly notice one day that it’s looking lackluster, it’s no surprise. Many of us spend so much time indoors that we forget to perfect the look of the outside. When you think about home improvement, you often go through all of the fine details of the house in your head. You think about everything from top to bottom – how to keep everything clean and hygienic, and also how to improve every inch to make it all look as pretty as possible. Everyone wants to live in the best possible home, so they focus a lot of energy into making the interior of the place close to perfect. What goes into the house is super important, but it’s just a select part of your entire home. The aspects that sit on the outside of the home also need some love and some work. First impressions are important, and people aren’t exactly going to see inside the home when they stand on the outside. There are a bunch of components that make up a home’s exterior, here are a few ideas to help spruce up and shore up the outside. Whether your drive is concrete or compacted soil (like this one in the UK), keep it clean and in perfect repair. It makes the first impression of your home’s exterior. The first place anyone reaches as they enter your home’s space. The driveway isn’t always seen as the most glamorous part of a home, but they can definitely be made to look very attractive if given enough time and care. If the driveway is looking a little weathered, then it probably does have something to do with the years of damage caused by it – even if a driveway is fairly new, it can look as though it has been around for decades only after a couple of years. The best course of action here is to take a pressure washer and blast away at the dirt that has been collected. You’d be surprised at how youthful it can look after a good clean. You could also add some little extras in there like lights or borders to give it something more than just a plain look. A garden is the crowning glory of your home’s exterior. The garden should be a place to clear minds and feel complete bliss. If you have a garden that is fairly packed with different things, perhaps think about having a little clear-out and starting with somewhat of a blank canvas. People like to have little areas in their garden to sit in and relax – with a bit of work, you could get some chairs, get some plants, maybe half a dozen pieces of landscaping stone and a few other things, and you could have yourself your own little area. You could give the fences and gates a little paint if they look as though they’re fading a little. In terms of the bricks of the house, they’re in a similar boat to the driveway in that they can begin to look a little aged quite easily. It’s another case of blasting it with the pressure washer and seeing the results – be careful though; you don’t want to make a mess for the neighbors. If you have a garage and you don’t use it for parking your car in there, then you could give it a little clean – a lot of unused and needless items are stored in one’s garage, you could spend a day just sorting through all of the stuff in there. You could go one further and renovate it completely. If it’s left alone for a lot of the time, you may elect to turn it into a more practical place. Addressing your home’s exterior can polish up your dulled curb appeal with your investment of time and labor.

Solon gets SO excited when this bed gets wheeled out of the basement backroom in its little suitcase, plugged in, turned on, air flowing into it and linens laid on top making it into a bed...this bed means Nana and Papa or Grandma and Grandpa are coming for a visit and Solon just LOVES that! He also loves to make sure it feels just right by jumping on it, laying in the pillows and leaving his lion flashlight for them just in case they need to look for the moon in the night (he believes you need a flashlight to find it :). Luckily for him, this bed is seeing lots of use lately!

When you take a close look at the situation with drug abuse and addiction in our society, you will begin to understand how much damage this degenerative, chronic disease has inflicted on innocent human beings around the world. However, one of the most dangerous illnesses infecting our world (in a cruel and ironic twist) also happens to be one of the easiest problems we can prevent. After all, it should be easy to hold up your hand and “just say no,” right? If only it was that easy all the time. Unfortunately, due to the flow of prescription opioids (potentially addictive and dangerous drugs) and other dangerous drugs, addiction has continued to plague countries across the globe. Besides obvious health risks like lung cancer or nerve cell damage, though, addictive substances can also contribute to the transmission of deadly infections and viruses (some of which cannot be cured). Sometimes, a drug addict will use an infected needle or unclean equipment. In another case, these individuals (already high on drugs) will engage in risky behavior that may include unprotected intimate acts with an infected individual. As a result, as we have seen in many cases around the world, these victims will contract one of the deadliest viruses known today: HIV. Sadly, HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is a very tragic and very real aspect of our world and, through many circumstances, is transmitted through risky drug activity or sexual acts. Unlike other viruses or infections that affect our bodies, HIV does not have a cure and ultimately strikes with a vengeance. Over time, victims of this sickness will begin to break down physically and mentally, with no promise of management for their dual-illness (HIV and addiction). So how do we help them? Fortunately, one doctor and his research team at the Ohio State University (Columbus, Ohio) may have discovered a potentially life-saving series of treatment programs for drug addicts suffering from HIV/AIDS. While he might not have found a cure, this physician has found a way to help addicts live longer. Let’s take a closer look and find out more information. Scientifically identified as the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV is a deadly illness that can be contracted through sexual activity, fluid exchange (transfusion), or dirty/infected equipment (in the case of drug addicts/abusers). Simply put, this virus directly assaults the immune system and specifically targets CD4 cells (T cells), a powerful “defense force” that defends our bodies from infections. Left untreated, HIV will eventually destroy so many CD4 cells that victims’ bodies can no longer protect them from foreign elements, allowing additional viruses or diseases like cancer to develop much easier than before. Fortunately, victims of HIV can prevent the onset of Stage 2 through antiretroviral therapy (ART), an immensely beneficial medication (a miracle drug, of sorts) that can ensure a victim’s lifespan is equivalent to a person who is not suffering from HIV. However, one question remains- how do you ensure drug addicts stay clean and endure this valuable treatment? Addicts who inject potent drugs and simultaneously suffer from HIV can often experience a dangerously high death rate and will have to break through many tough barriers (in comparison to an addict who is not suffering from AIDS). However, Dr. William Miller, a member of the Ohio State University (in Columbus, Ohio) may have found a way to help these people cope with HIV and break away from addictive substances. For the study, Dr. Miller gathered an international team of researchers (partnered with the HIV Prevention Trials Network) studied participants from three countries that suffer from the highest rates of addiction and HIV (comorbid rates). In total, Miller and his team recruited 502 people (men and women) who injected addictive drugs and also suffered from HIV in Ukraine, Indonesia, and Vietnam. So what were the results of this experiment? After 1 year of performance, 72% of people who took part in the integrated intervention therapy were completing antiretroviral therapy (ART). Even more fascinating, 41% of the subjects had no trace of the virus in their bloodstreams, in contrast to individuals who completed standard care (43% to 24%). Likewise, the test subjects of Miller’s study were more likely to partake in medication-assisted therapy for their drug addiction. Ultimately, only 7% of the subjects died, in contrast to the 15% rate among standard-care patients. What could be better news than that? According to Miller and his team, after the year-long study had been finished, no new outbursts of HIV had occurred among the 187 patients they had studied. At The Recover, we fully understand how difficult the treatment process can be for addicts through our daily work to help these individuals overcome this terrible, painful disease. Although many people believe they can overcome their problems without help, residential drug treatment programs are still an essential step on the road to recovery. Although the path to health and happiness might not be an easy one to take, you can finally enter the threshold to freedom with the help of a loving, supporting team. Additional aspects like counseling and psychological care can ensure you address underlying psychological issues that ultimately led you to become an addict. From here, you can build an infrastructure that will help you live your life with entering relapse, all with the help of a solid residential drug treatment program.

Although the aforementioned literature provides descriptions of, and critical insights into, the types of challenges faced when couples are separated by imprisonment, this information was gathered largely through qualitative methods such as interviews and focus groups with small, nonrepresentative samples. These methods provide rich descriptions useful for informing public policy; however, more quantitative (and qualitative) research is needed using large, random samples of men in federal and state prisons and their partners in the community. These studies should use standardized measures to assess the degree to which prisoners (and their partners) differ from the general population in characteristics relevant to family life and well-being. Research involving couples from different racial/ethnic groups is important to inform culturally competent interventions and policies. Moreover, longitudinal research that follows individuals and their partners over time is critically needed. Prospective research will allow us to make causal inferences about the effects of the prison experience on the couple relationship. We are currently hindered from identifying any cause-and-effect relationships because of the correlational nature of the available data.

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

A Louisiana Taxotere hair loss lawsuit may be an option for chemotherapy patients who took Taxotere and suffered permanent hair loss. Taxotere, a chemotherapy drug used to treat breast, prostate, non-small cell lung cancer, stomach, and head and neck cancers, has been linked to permanent, disfiguring hair loss. Affected patients and their families may be eligible to file a Louisiana Taxotere lawsuit and seek compensation for damages. Taxotere is a kind of chemotherapy treatment most commonly used to treat breast cancer, head and neck cancer, stomach cancer, prostate cancer, and lung cancer. The medication may be used on its own or together with other chemotherapeutic drugs to treat specific types and stages of cancer. Taxotere belongs to a class of drugs known as taxanes, chemical compounds originally extracted from the needles of the Pacific yew tree. Taxotere stops cancer cells from dividing and multiplying, blocking the growth of certain kinds of cancers. Since chemotherapy treatments target all rapidly-forming cells, patients will experience a loss of healthy cells as well as cancerous ones. In 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued updated safety information noting that cases of permanent hair loss related to the use of Taxotere have been reported. Loss of hair due to chemotherapy is typically reversible with complete hair regrowth, however, there is increased evidence that certain chemotherapy regimens can cause dose-dependent permanent alopecia (hair loss), according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Miami, Florida. In addition to the Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery’s findings, research presented at the National Cancer Research Institute Conference noted significant hair loss reported by patients who responded to a questionnaire regarding Taxotere and its connection with patient hair loss. Many patients, particularly women treated for breast cancer, who have allegedly experienced the effects of permanent hair loss after being treated for cancer with Taxotere may find it difficult to cope with their condition. Taxotere hair loss lawsuits filed in early 2016 allege that drug maker Sanofi S.A. made claims of Taxotere’s superior efficacy, when post market surveillance has shown that Taxotere does not offer increased efficacy or benefits over other similar medications. The lawsuit further alleges that as a result of the drug maker’s claims, thousands of individuals were exposed to more severe side effects, including permanent alopecia (hair loss). A warning letter sent by the FDA to drug maker Sanofi-Aventis in 2009 requested that the drug maker immediately stop the dissemination of misleading assertions suggesting the efficacy of Taxotere compared to other cancer drugs in its class. Likewise, lawsuits allege that although the drug maker published information in other countries to patients and regulatory agencies related to the possible connection between Taxotere and permanent hair loss, those warnings do not appear on any information published by the drug maker in the United States. As a result, the lawsuit claims that thousands of individuals were unable to make an informed decision as to whether the benefits of Taxotere over other treatment options was justified. Although chemotherapy treatment schedules are relatively short, long-term issues may arise, according to the Cancer Network. For some younger breast cancer patients, fertility issues may occur after certain chemotherapy treatments. Additionally, taxane-based chemotherapy treatments such as Taxotere may lead to neuropathy, potentially leading to poor balance and other complications. Patients who have suffered severe side effects, including permanent hair loss, after taking Taxotere, as well as the families of those who have died as a result of complications with the drug, are encouraged to seek the advice of a Louisiana Taxotere hair loss lawsuit attorney to learn more about their rights and remedies.

Many owners of companies are beginning to understand the advantages of using online business systems. Any corporation that is active in internet-based activities will experience a much lower operating cost than the one that functions exclusively in a specific place. There are many benefits of having an internet section added to one’s business. There is however the inclusion of punctual delivery of products or services to the consumers. A lean supply chain is the operational technique that a corporation applies so as to ensure that the consumers are satisfied through the provision of quality products which are delivered efficiently. Businesses which use this technique in their daily operations have a high probability of satisfying their customers having in mind that modern customers require their products to be delivered as fast as possible. With higher levels of consumer satisfaction, these corporations are likely to enjoy consumer loyalty. The fundamental plan behind a lean supply chain is to regulate all areas of the corporation methods. Thus, any frail or incompetent department of production, sale and transport of goods must be known and eliminated on a regular basis so as to ensure that there are high levels of performance. This involves getting rid of or changing areas of production which might act to underrate the final products or goods or which does not satisfy the consumers’ requirement.

An angiographic catheter is described with a valve covering the end-hole on the distal end. The valve will allow the catheter to be passed over a guidewire but will prevent an injected fluid (e.g., a contrast medium) from being discharged from the end hole. The valved-end catheter has side-holes near the distal end that provide for lateral discharge of the fluid thereby preventing the creation of an end-hole jet and the resulting undesirable effects of the jet. Angiographic catheters are very small but long thin-walled tubes that are inserted into the human vascular system for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. At the present time, almost all such catheters have an end-hole at the distal end so that the catheter can be passed over and guided by a wire which has been inserted into the vascular system through a hollow needle placed in a blood vessel. Also, because these catheters are open at both ends to allow passage over the guidewire, one catheter can be exchanged for another by replacing the wire and withdrawing the catheter over the wire. When used in diagnostic procedures, the primary purpose of these catheters is to allow injection of radiopaque contrast material into the blood stream so as to produce an image of the blood vessel (an angiogram) on x-ray film. During the process of diagnostic angiography, the contrast medium is usually injected at a rapid rate using a power injector, and the contrast medium is forcefully discharged from the distal end-hole of the catheter creating a jet effect. This produces undesirable recoil of the catheter and can also produce a dangerous complication, subintimal injection of the contrast medium, in which the jet tunnels into the wall of the blood vessel sometimes resulting in acute occlusion of the vessel. To minimize the undesirable effect of recoil and the potential complication of subintimal injection, some early catheter designs had sealed distal ends with side-holes near the distal end to allow injection of the contrast medium into the blood vessel laterally and symmetrically thereby reducing subintimal injections. Of course, with the sealed distal end, these catheters cannot be inserted into a blood vessel over a guidewire, and therefore this design is not widely used. Most catheters presently used for rapid flush angiography are configured with a circular loop or "pigtail" at the distal end. Although the end-hole is open, these pigtail type catheters are provided with side-holes through which approximately 40% of the contrast medium is discharged. Although the looped end of the catheter decreases somewhat the chance of subintimal injection, the open end-hole still allows approximately 60% of the contrast medium to exit the end-hole in a strong jet. During left ventriculography, this jet has been associated with the production of ventricular arrhythmias which can be dangerous to the patient and which can lessen the accuracy of the acquired physiologic data. To overcome the limitations of the pigtail catheter in cardiac angiography, various modifications have been attempted to the pigtail configuration, such as a multiple loop configuration or formation of a bend at an acute angle in the distal portion of the catheter. However, these modifications have not satisfactorily alleviated the problems associated with the use of any catheter which has an open end-hole. Moreover, when catheters of this type are used during abdominal aortography, it is sometimes desirable to have the contrast medium injected in a lateral fashion to opacify the renal arteries which arise at right angles to the abdominal aorta. The pigtail catheter, including known modifications of it, tends to inject the contrast medium in a superior direction through the superiorally directed end-hole. This produces the undesirable effect of filling the blood vessels superior to the renal arteries which can obscure visualization of the anatomic structures being observed. There is therefore a need for a catheter which can be inserted into the vascular system by passing it over a guidewire but which catheter will have the advantages of a closed-end catheter. The catheter of the invention has formed over the end-hole at its distal end a two-way valve which opens to allow passage of a guidewire and closes upon removal of the guidewire to prevent discharge of fluid from the end-hole of the catheter. In one embodiment, the catheter is formed with side-holes for discharge of the fluid, such as a contrast medium, and the principles of the invention can be utilized in a balloon occlusion catheter because all of the fluid will be discharged proximally to the balloon through the end-holes. When used with a ballon for coronary or small vessel peripheral angioplasty, no side holes are formed in the catheter, thus creating a single lumen over-the-wire angioplasty ballon catheter. The valve at the distal end of the catheter may be formed by several slits along radial lines in a solid tubular piece of material similar to the material used in the catheter itself. However, the material must have sufficient elasticity so that the valve remains normally closed and is opened only when a guidewire is advanced in either direction against the valve. FIG. 4 is a perspective view that illustrates the principles of the invention as applied to a balloon occlusion catheter. The intravascular catheter of the invention has an elongated tubular wall 10 that defines a longitudinally extending lumen or passageway 12 extending throughout the length of the catheter. The catheter is constructed of any suitable material that has the required strength and flexibility which will permit the catheter to be inserted into a blood vessel for use in various diagnostic and therapeutic applications where it is necessary to inject a fluid, such as a contrast medium, into the body. There are a number of plastic materials presently available that are suitable for this use, such as various forms of soft polyurethanes, soft polyesters guidewire. When the guidewire is removed, the resiliency of the flaps 22 will once again close off the distal end 14. The distal end 14 may be either normally straight as shown in the drawings, or distal end 14 may be shaped into a circular pigtail configuration similar to that of presently used catheters which have a closed distal end. The principles of the invention therefore can be applied to pigtail catheters which are used extensively in ventriculography. In FIG. 4 there is illustrated a balloon occlusion catheter to which the principles of the invention have been applied by positioning valve 16 at the distal end. In this balloon occulsion catheter, there is in addition to the outer wall 10 an interior tube 24 that provides a passageway or lumen 26 which carries fluid, such as air, to an expandable wall or balloon 28 formed in the wall 10 near its distal end 14 downstream from the side-holes 18. The expandable wall or balloon 28 can therefore be inflated using lumen 26 so as to occlude flow through the blood vessel. As in the other embodiments of the invention, when the catheter is inserted into the blood vessel using a guidewire, as soon as the end of the guidewire engages the flaps 22 of valve 16, the flaps 22 will flex to permit passage of the guidewire until such time as it is withdrawn. When the guidewire is withdrawn, valve 16 will close and remain closed, thus allowing for all of the fluid flowing through passageway 12 to be discharged through side-holes 18. The principles of the invention also can be applied to balloon catheters with no side holes, thereby allowing guidewire insertion and low density polyethylenes. The passageway 12 normally terminates in an end-hole or discharge opening at the distal end 14 of the catheter, but the invention provides a valve, indicated generally by the reference numeral 16, that covers the end-hole. Valve 16 may be formed in any suitable manner. For example, valve 16 may be formed at the outer end of a solid tubular end piece 20 of relatively short length which is fused or otherwise suitably attached at the distal end 14 of the wall 10 of the catheter. The desired action of valve 16 may be created by a plurality of flaps 22 formed by one or more cuts, such as radially extending slits, in the outer end of end piece 20. In the alternative, a pin hole could be formed in the outer end of the end piece 20, the pin hole being just large enough to permit the passage of a guidewire. The flaps 22 are preferably formed of the same basic material as the material that forms the wall 10 of the catheter, but the material forming flaps 22 must have sufficient elasticity to perform the valve function in the manner described herein. In one embodiment of the invention, upstream from the valve 16 are a plurality of side-holes 18 formed in the wall 10 of the catheter to provide for lateral discharge of fluid flowing through the passageway 12 of the catheter. The flaps 22 normally close the end-hole at distal end 14 and substantially seal off distal end 14 so that any fluid introduced into the passageway 12 is discharged through the side-holes 18. However, when the end of a guidewire (not shown) strikes the flaps 22 from either direction, the flaps 22 will bend a sufficient amount to permit the passage of the and balloon inflation through a single passageway. Similarly, the valved end construction utilizing the principles of the invention will allow an angioplasty balloon to be inflated through the same lumen used to pass the catheter over a guidewire thus creating a single lumen over-the-wire angioplasty balloon. This would allow the catheter diameter to be reduced significantly which would be useful in coronary angioplasty and small vessel peripheral angioplasty. The operation and use of the catheter of the invention is evident from the foregoing description. When the catheter of the invention is properly used, catheter recoil will be greatly reduced if not eliminated since the contrast medium, for example, will be discharged from the catheter laterally in a symmetrical fashion through the side-holes. Also, use of the valved distal end will greatly reduce the chance of subintimal contrast injections since there will no longer be any jet effect from the end-hole. The catheter of the invention will also provide more accurate contrast injection in the aorta, since contrast medium is injected laterally through the side-holes. Also, infusion of other fluids, such as thrombolytic agents, is improved since these fluids can be infused evenly through multiple side-holes rather than a single end-hole of the catheter. Moreover, the catheter of the invention may be useful in nonvascular catheter applications, such as in biliary and renal catheterization procedures. It will be thus evident to those skilled in the art that there are numerous applications for the principles of the invention and that various revisions and modifications can be made to the preferred embodiments disclosed herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is my intention, however, that all such revisions and modifications as are obvious to those skilled in the art will be included within the scope of the following claims. 1.

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

Enjoy training your brain and keeping your mind active? Hone your logic skills with this new take on Shikaku - with a twist! With normal Shikaku rules, the objective is to divide the grid into rectangular and square pieces with each piece containing exactly one number representing the area of the rectangle. Do you remember when the Sudoku craze really took hold back in the early 2000's? For a while there it seemed that, no matter where you went, there would be someone sitting next to you playing it. You’d have to say that it was the Candy Crush of its day - albeit with a little more intelligence needed. Bizarrely, the game reached such epidemic proportions that a million dollar drug trial in Australia was aborted when it was discovered that five of the twelve jurors were playing Sudoku rather than listening to the evidence. Naturally, because of its worldwide success, there were a number of spin offs that came to the fore in the ensuing years. One of which was called Shikaku. The original Shikaku’s objective was to divide the grid to a number of rectangular and square pieces with each piece containing a number that represented the area of the rectangle. However, that game has now evolved itself slightly and has turned into another new game called Shikaku Twist with a couple of significant new rule changes. With this game, the cells connected to each grid do not need to form a square or rectangle any more. What’s more, you get to solve the puzzle in one single line by moving from one connecting square to the next.

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

After your business is up and running, your focus naturally shifts to increasing efficiency. The small things you do to lower costs and increase output can be the difference between a failing business and soaring profits. No matter how good your team members are, you should tweak the environment in which they work to insure the best possible results. There are many reasons why developing a protocol to measure efficiency benefits your business. You are able to pinpoint areas that need improvement, and you can break your team’s performance down by tasks. Perhaps you will notice that the whole process is going smoothly except for one minor operation that can be eliminated to improve efficiency. This kind of insight can help you restructure the physical environment or delegate tasks in a new way to increase efficiency. You can also evaluate the performance of individual employees. Take a look at how much you get out of employees versus how much you pay them. Employees might be a bit nervous about your new methods of close observation and evaluation. This is acceptable and sometimes even beneficial, as employees will make an increased effort if they know their performance is being tracked. However, you don't have to be an intimidating taskmaster. This is a good opportunity to mix in positive reinforcement and show your appreciation for your team. You can offer incentives, such as public recognition, time off or a share in productivity gains. Whatever mode you choose, employees are sure to improve efficiency if they feel that good work is rewarded and they develop a sense of the needs of the business as a whole. Employees need to have the appropriate equipment and technology to carry out their functions efficiently. A lazy and incompetent worker on a tractor will most likely outperform even the hardest-working person who is plowing manually. Regular maintenance and upgrades of your equipment might seem costly and burdensome, but they are critical to the success of your business. Making sure that your employees have the tools they need to get the job done will drastically improve your output per dollar spent or per unit of time. Keeping equipment up to par also prevents on the job injuries, possible lawsuits and time lost to malfunctions. Skill is another side of employee efficiency. Your team must have the requisite skill sets to produce up to par, making on-the-job training and education generally worthwhile. Even though specialization and division of labor are important, your team's efficiency can benefit greatly through cross-training, which gives workers a broader perspective and an understanding of the context in which their work fits. It allows them to help each other and to prioritize more effectively, resulting in overall efficiency. This increased workforce agility allows workers to shift their capacity to where it is needed and reduces problems due to worker absences.

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

OK, so this statement is completely wrong, but it serves to illustrate the false conclusion of thinking that we are descended from chimpanzees because we evolved from an ape of some sort and they are our closest living relative. But we evolved from them no more than they from us. What we do share is a common ancestor which we both descended from, and this makes chimpanzees our closest living cousins in species terms, but not our actual ancestors. Understanding common ancestors is vital to understanding evolution and classification, so lets go back in time to trace our little corner of the tree of life. DNA analysis has shown that the ancestor linking us with chimps existed about six million years ago, and other evidence suggests it was certain to have lived in Africa. No fossil has been found that can be definitely attributed to it, but there are a few contenders. So, since we have no proper name let’s just call it ape A. But what did it look like? It would have been fairly close in appearance to a chimpanzee and it would have walked on four legs (using knuckle walking similar to chimps and gorillas), lived in the forest and been an excellent tree climber. Around this time the climate began to cool a little and become dryer, meaning the forest in Africa began to thin out and in places open plain took over. This may have caused the population of ape A to become split into two, and therefore each group pursued it’s own independent evolutionary path. One group remained in the forest and so there were few external pressures for it to change – it would eventually evolve into chimpanzees. The other group must have come under some environmental pressure to cause it to change. This may have been a further thinning of the forest it was living in, but for whatever reason, it gradually evolved to become more adapted to living in the plains rather than the forest. This branch eventually became modern humans. So ape A is the common ancestor we share with chimpanzees and makes them our closest living cousin within the animal world. It also means that the chimpanzee’s closest cousin is us, rather than any other ape. We have both had the same amount of time to evolve since ape A existed, but the reason we look so dissimilar is due to the different path that the environment led us to take – we took to the plains and became hunter gatherers instead of staying in the forests. The next nearest living relative to us (and chimpanzees) is the gorilla and we need to go back 7 million years from present to find the ancestor we all share – call it ape B. Again it would have lived in the African forest and there would have been a split in the population somehow, one line leading to gorillas and the other to ape A, and subsequently to chimpanzees and us. Going back even further, about 18 million years from present, we come across the common ancestor to all the great apes. Great apes comprise gibbons, orang utans, gorillas, chimpanzees and humans. They are a separate group from monkeys and the key difference is that apes have no tail whereas all monkeys do (though in a few it is almost reduced to nothing). This is a good illustration of how common ancestors are so useful in defining evolutionary paths and modern classification. If apes are defined as separate from monkeys due to their lack of tail (although it’s actually slightly more complicated than that), then this could be traced back to the one single species that lacked a tail and is ancestor to all subsequent apes. All major groupings will have a single common ancestor at some point. So for example the first mammal species I talked about in a previous post would have had mammary glands, three bones in the ear, warm blood and fur – and this is why all mammals possess these and why we put them into a group separate from all other animals. As we go back in time there will be common ancestors to larger and larger groupings, until we reach that one first originator of all life with that one huge characteristic that all life shares – DNA.

The world is slowly understanding the need to conserve and protect the environment and stop water wastage. As this awareness is growing and seeds of change are being planted in people’s mind rain chains are fast gaining popularity. The rain water is collected at the end of a rain chain into a barrel or urn and is reused for gardening, washing the drive way but this rain water is definitely not for consumption. Copper is a natural reusable resource and since it is recyclable it is the metal of choice for us. Do away with plastic downspouts and replace them with our heavy gauge pure untreated copper rain chain and feel good about making smart choices.

Figures for top states show firstly the states where most people called ALCARAZ live. This obviously tends to be biased towards the most populous states. The second set of figures show where people called ALCARAZ represent the biggest proportion of the population. So, in this case, there are more people called ALCARAZ in California than any other state, but you are more likely to find a ALCARAZ by picking someone at random in California than anywhere else. The following names have similar spellings or pronunciations as ALCARAZ. The following words are slight variants of ALCARAZ that are likely to be possible typos or misspellings in written material.

A yod is formed when two planets that are sextile also form an inconjunct to another planet. These planets are in different signs and modes and are deeply significant, for they usually symbolize patterns in families that have lasted for generations. This is what Hamaker-Zondag discovered when she started to research the inconjunct aspect as it related to a yod. Also included in this book is a complete discussion of how the energies of unaspected planets, and planets in duet (that only aspect each other) are expressed in a person's birth chart. Hamaker-Zondag says that people with a yod are often insecure, or have trouble expressing themselves, and there is an emphasis on stalemates or unusual situations. She analyzes the background and places it in a broader perspective, including how she works with elements, modes, orbs, and other astrological factors when interpreting this aspect. All in all, this is one of the most exciting books on aspect interpretation published in recent years! Included are great case histories: you have a chance to examine the Monica Lewinsky, Linda Tripp, Kenneth Starr, Bill Clinton scenario and see it with new eyes. And Princess Diana, Prince Charles, and Prince William are not without these family patterns. The stories are profound. These aspects work in the lives of people who change the world, people who have lived the unpopular position of stalemate, delay, and social change indicated by the presence of a yod in their natal chart, by transit, or by progression. She uses the examples of Gandhi, Vaclav Havel, Khomeini, Solzhenitsyn, Willy Brandt, C. G. Jung, Jim Jones, and others. To help you work with your own clients, Hamaker-Zondag brings in the charts of her personal clients and explains them in depth. When you've read this book, you'll want to check out the charts of everyone you know!

For those of you interested in becoming part of the project here is a guide to digging out the data. If your interest is in a particular League then please contact us first so that we can let you know what we've already got. Here is a brief guide to what we are looking for and where to look; with apologies if you are already an experienced researcher! These can be found normally in newspapers covering April/May but be aware that the season may be extended due to bad weather. Also it has been known that a paper will print a Final table at the time of the AGM which may well be in July. Be aware also that tables may appear on non sports pages or as an extra column elsewhere in the paper. These would be the last table published for that season but with apparently outstanding fixtures. Check that the table is not FINAL as some seasons finished with fixtures not completed. If the season continues beyond the table published, we would ask that you check and note the results of fixtures played and update the table manually. • In both the above cases, please check the clubs participating at the beginning of a season as this, in comparing with the final table, will indicate any resignations/evictions during the season. In this unfortunate instance we would request you try and find the name of the champions and, by tracking fixtures, list the clubs who participated during that season. We are looking initially at the setting up of the league and need a summary of where, when and by whom the League was formed. It may well be that a book exists on the history of the League which will cover this and a summary may be constructed from this. Likewise, if the League has disbanded a summary of this should be included in the history text. Should the period you need to cover be considerable we would appreciate it if you would send updates now and again rather than the complete package at the end, especially if you are unable to provide the data on Excel for tables and Word (or compatible) for the history. Thank you once more for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you. Please do not hesitate to contact Mel with any queries. Contact details can be found by clicking this link.

(Reuters) - U.S. ride services firm Lyft Inc is in talks with an advisor for a targeted March or April 2019 initial public offering, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. An initial public offering for Lyft would amplify Uber’s[UBER.UL] troubles. It would be an opportunistic way for the company, which was valued at $7.5 billion in its last funding round, to capitalize on its larger rival. Fresh capital for Lyft would merely compound the frontrunner’s injuries.

Chin is one of the most essential feature which gives a balance to the face and creates a major part of one’s profile. People often look in the mirror and focuses on the nose, ears, sagging jowls or wrinkles, but few of them also observes their chins with the same discerning eye. he chin augmentation surgery primarily focuses on correcting the problem of double chin along with damaged chin which is the result of an accident. Chin Reduction Surgery :Also known as cosmetic chin surgery, it aims at removing the surplus fat by making incisions and also by molding the bone of the chin. Double Chin Plastic Surgery :The surgery undertakes the different causes of double chin like fatty tissues and the surplus skin is first treated and removed. The other preferable technique in which a tiny incision is made in order to remove the surplus fat is known as Tumescent Liposuction. Genioplasty :The oscillating bone saw is used in order to remove a particular section of the jaw. The metal screws and metal plates are used to keep the bones in a proper place so as to give a new look to the patient.

This is the day we wear the ashes. Christians all over the world come to receive the ashes in a cross on their foreheads. This is the day we tell the world we belong to the One who was sacrificed for our sins. It is a humbling moment to stand before your pastor as the words are spoken and the ashes mixed with oil are drawn onto your head. For the rest of the day, every time you see your image, the reminder of what you are is right there on your face. You are dust... ash... and you will return to dust. This day marks the beginning of Lent, when we are to spend time in introspection and personal sacrifice. We humble ourselves before the Lord and he will lift us up.

There have been a lot of moves in the NBA free agent market over the last several days. The biggest news is the re-signing of Brooklyn Nets guard Derron Williams. Williams signed a five year 98 million dollar contract. Along with Williams the Nets have traded for Atlanta’s Joe Johnson and signed Portland’s Gerald Wallace to put together a pretty good trio. Now the big decision for Brooklyn is whether to enter the Dwight Howard sweepstakes. One of the rumors is the Nets would have to give up Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries, and promising guard Marshon Brooks to acquire Howard. Speaking of Howard, he told the Orlando Magic that he wants to be traded and prefers playing for the Brooklyn Nets. There could be some problems in making that deal. One, the Nets are pretty close to the luxury tax concerning their salary cap, and secondly the Los Angeles Lakers have entered the discussions. The Lakers could offer center Andrew Bynum in a trade package. It will be interesting to see where Phoenix’s Steve Nash ends up signing. He has two choices whether to go to a team with a chance of winning the NBA title or finish his career in his native Canada with Toronto and make some big money. At the end of last season Jeremy Lin was considered a lock to re-sign with the New York Knicks but that is no longer a sure thing. Several teams have expressed interest in Lin and it has drove up his market value considerably. A couple of the teams interested in Lin have stated that they will use a “poison pill” contract to make it tough for the Knicks to re-sign him. The NFL last week stated that they will change their blackout policy. No longer will teams have to sell every ticket to avoid a blackout now its 85 percent of the tickets available per game. This is a good move because it will allow local fans to see more games. Also the NFL is going to enhance the game day experience for fans at the stadium. The league is going to have free wi-fi for fans to use their portable devices to track other games and their fantasy football teams. The NFL’s Red Zone Channel will be shown in every stadium so the fans can watch every touchdown scored on Sunday live as it happens. The NFL is making these changes because overall ticket sales fell last season and several teams have exhausted their season ticket waiting lists. The Pittsburgh Pirates are tied with the Cincinnati Reds for first place in the National League Central and are ready to make the moves to make sure they stay in the race until the end of the season. Because of the Pirates poor record in the last decade they have been able to stock the farm system with some pretty good arms. They are now ready to deal some of the surplus talent to get a veteran bat or two. Pittsburgh as a team is only hitting .242 as a team.

Many Short Barreled Rifle owners have run into an issue with figuring out how to mount a set of BUIS on the upper and still fit their needed Lights, Lasers and Optics. The idea was to make it so that the Rear Sight was so low profile that there was almost no possible way it could interfere with optics and the Front Sight could easily be mounted under the front arm of the optic mount. This keeps them out of the way, but can still be used in the even the primary optic has a failure. Even though these sights were designed to fill a specific need, they can Mfg: Bobro Engineering.

Google-owned Waymo has operated its public pilot in Phoenix, Arizona, dubbed the Early Rider Program, for just over a year. In that time, the service has picked up about 400 regular riders in the area, and it's brought the total real-world miles driven by Waymo's entire fleet to about 24,000 per day. Most of these riders are very young, very elderly, disabled, or otherwise unable to drive on their own. In order to get a better understanding of what people think of self-driving cars and how the technology could fit into everyday life once it goes mainstream, Waymo gathered data from its Early Rider Program participants and put out the graph seen below and an accompanying report that breaks down the data. According to Waymo's data, there have been over 20,000 applicants for a ride in the program in total, up from about 6,000 on the first day. Most of the Early Rider Program's accepted riders used the service as transportation to work. Restaurants were the next most popular destination, followed by schools. Bars and spas were also common, and many used the service to get to the shop where their disabled car was waiting for them, which often meant exiting the program after the car was fixed up. Using the service to get to the supermarket and do your shopping was surprisingly low on the list of most popular destinations, with only electronics stores and gyms falling behind it within the confines of the top ten destinations. Waymo's data indicates that applicants cited two main reasons, on the whole, for applying; they wanted to see the new technology firsthand, and they wanted to help foster a safer future on the roads. The Early Rider Program has made it quite clear that people have a diverse range of reasons for trusting and desiring the advancement of self-driving car technology. One rider witnessed a fatal car accident and didn't want to drive anymore, while another rider wants to take in her local neighborhood without focusing on driving, to name just a couple of cases that Waymo outed. Thanks to the data found in the program thus far, Waymo is working on a few key goals to make the service easier to use, including making it easier for riders to contact Waymo, and getting cars as close as possible to the places where riders want to be picked up, helping them avoid a long walk to a pickup spot.

If there is one thing I would recommend us to change or improve on this year it’s the battles we choose to fight. We probably don’t realise this but sometimes we pay so much attention to things that really do not add value to our lives. And this is exactly why I want us to focus on battles that are worth fighting, battles that one can someday look back on and think ‘wow I’m a warrior’. But that is only possible if we become selective of the problems, arguments, and confrontations that we engage in. That’s why it is important to always ask yourself if tackling that particular problem outweighs the costs before engaging into it. That way you can decide if you should fight the problem or abandon it, because not all problems are important. Truly some battles just don’t hold water and they simply don’t matter especially in the long run. Imagine fighting so hard just to pull another woman down or simply being judgmental about other people’s lives. Encounters with rude people are another. Gossip is another thing – there is no way you want to live your entire life paying attention to what people say about you. For as long as you breathe, people are going to talk about you. These are things that you cannot allow to weigh you down by rather letting them go. After all, there are many other things worth worrying about. It’s better to concern yourself with your big rocks and Quadrant 2 goals, other than petty problems that have no place in your life. Some problems may seem pressing, but the payoff from addressing them doesn’t outweigh the costs. Battling such problems will only waste your time and energy since the costs outweigh the benefits. This year let’s choose battles where the benefits outweigh the costs. Instead of getting involved with everything, you save your time only for the important situations, the ones that will give you the best payoff, and the ones where there is a good chance of success. As humans, we also need to remember that we have limited time and energy on Earth and that is why we need to conserve our resources for the things that matter. It’s all about winning the big war. In life, you are going to face countless problems. Do you want to spend your life battling petty problems that do not make a difference in the long run? Or do you want to battle the big rocks, like carving out your dream career, building your ideal relationship, being financially free, and living the life of your dreams? You need to choose your battles and focus on the big rocks to win the big war of life. Let’s choose our battles wisely, battles that will help us become better versions of ourselves and battles that will help us put bread on the table. Not every battle is worth fighting.

Finally a big dollop of snow arrived on everything last night, like the icing on the cake, it’s snow layer on top of the river ice. Off it was to Untertal on an overcast day. In photography many reckon light is everything, well it is important but it all depends on the subject of course. The sauce of a meal is like light in a photograph, it should emphasis the ingredients and their taste, it should not be overbearing. This is the balance in cooking up a good image or meal!

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

It seems every day, even when I’ve thoroughly researched a subject or a person and am in the middle of writing about it or her, a simple session of Internet research turns up new sources and resources that at the very least enrich, at the most reinterpret what I’m doing. This is a blessing and a curse. I love the research, as I’ve said elsewhere on this site. Once upon a time, when all we could use were books and original sources from archives, the research phase would have to finish at a certain point or we’d never start writing. Now, despite the pitfalls of stumbling on inaccurate or misleading information about one’s subject, the Internet is always there, all the time, as a resource to mine. I think I’ve found just about everything useful for my project, and then one day I word a search slightly differently and come up with something that sheds new light on it, or fills in a blank I’d just decided to work around. It’s wonderful, but it can also be treacherous. This shiny new object I’ve just discovered—surely there’s a place I can put it in my novel? Maybe. Maybe not. Writing is editing: There’s never been a truer word said. As writers, we’re constantly making judgments about what to include and what to leave out; what to say and leave unsaid. The true genius in a novel is getting that balance right. And that goes for research as well. I may delight in knowing the exact route of a trolley in 1910 New York, but I don’t have to take my reader on a ride with it. So why bother with that depth of research? Even without laying it in front of the reader’s eyes, everything I know and understand about the place, period, and personages involved informs the story. Depth of knowledge creates a solid foundation that helps ensure characters don’t take missteps into anachronism. I just discovered the video above. It was only uploaded a few days ago, so I couldn’t have discovered it before. I’m in the middle of a complete rewrite of my WIP and immersed in 1911 in New York as we speak. I didn’t learn anything much new from this video (except something about how many people fit into a car of the time), but it gave me an atmospheric view of this period I’ve been working in for years. I could watch it over and over again.

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

New drive has 'front-of-house' quietness! Rotate one pattern, what you see is what you get! Add a 'still' in the pattern holder and the rotating patterns will animate the still pattern, making leaves rustle, flames dance and stars twinkle! TwinSpin™ rotates two 'B' size patterns (Jr. Takes "M" size) in opposition to each other, at variable speeds and slides easily into the drop-in iris slot of a 6 inch ellipsoidal. You can see any combination of two GAM Patterns rotating together by clicking on "Virtual TwinSpin". When you use a single pattern in TwinSpin™, 'what you see is what you get'. The design you choose looks the same as it would if you placed it in a standard pattern holder - but motion is added. Rotating fast or slow, the single pattern can make a simple eloquent visual statement. It is effective as a downlight as well as projected on a cyc, scenery or on people. TwinSpin can also be used as a tool to adjust the position of a pattern by remote control. - See Indexing TwinSpin™ model. When you project two patterns of the same design, TwinSpin™ rotates them in opposition to each other. The look you achieve is different from the original look of the pattern. It often has a shimmering or sparkling quality. High speed dazzles. Slow movement creates a mesmerizing, dream-like effect. Changing lens focus can change the appearance dramatically. Add GamColor® in your color frame for more variety. Two different pattern designs used in the TwinSpin™ create a new design-a-hybrid with its own unique visual expression. As the patterns turn, shapes change. Areas of light projection may appear and disappear. It is important to choose two compatible designs so that one doesn't block out too much light and cancel out the other. With mixed doubles, lens focus can emphasize one or the other or center on both. You can place one or two patterns in the TwinSpin™, then add an additional design in the pattern holder of your fixture. The rotating pattern or patterns will animate the 'still'. With some experimenting, you can make leaves rustle, flames dance, stars twinkle. Add color to the gel frame, try a split gel by taping two pieces together for more variety. Hundreds of Great American Patterns are available in 'B' size and are suitable for use in the TwinSpin™. To see any possible combination of GAM Patterns rotating, click Virtual TwinSpin™.

Letters of presentation are among the essential elements of the employment application procedure. After that, you must verify the letter. The letter must also contain the company’s logo, in addition to the signature of the person who writes the letter. It must also be dated and signed correctly. Most employment verification letters include the name of the person, their department in the business (sometimes they must include their precise job title) and the total amount of time they have been employed. To be brief, a letter of verification is not a reference, just to offer proof of employment. The letter of verification should incorporate the appropriate format for small businesses, correct greetings, along with vital details about the current state of employment. An employment verification letter is a letter that is used to verify which employee currently holds a certain position. Typically, employment verification letters will be written by a manager on behalf of the workers. If contact information is provided, contact all companies listed for verification. It is very important for an employer to verify all information written on the applicant’s resume to protect the organization and its current employees. Understanding how to ask concise reference questions about work developed to obtain genuinely valuable information can facilitate the contraction of time. Some people use third-party verification to authenticate the presence of the business enterprise. In the future you will have to submit a medical verification that you are under the care of a doctor if you need future periods of unscheduled absences. The verification of income for a single-business entrepreneur, independent contractor or independent professional need not be more challenging than for someone who receives a salary or normal salary. Many times, it is someone who has been in a company for more than three years. Then the company must give an employment verification letter. Be professional and respectful once you contact the corporation. Many companies also choose to include the background check as part of the pre-employment course of action. Be sure not to omit any provider. You can check the business and your contact information by looking up the name and contact number of the company in the white pages. So, even when it is a small business, you must be adequately prepared to write a clear and professional letter. Verifying past employment is crucial. Any employer can choose to send a conditional employment letter to a different employee in any market, but it is very common in the public sector. Some employers offer only standard information about work history, such as the dates you worked and if they would rehire you. The applicant may offer information during the interview, but it is up to the employer to verify the credentials and verify the applicant’s claims regarding their background. Finally, ask the contact if there is anything else he would like to inform you about the applicant. Especially if someone is applying for a job that requires driving, finding a driver’s record is critical because it will reveal tickets and accidents. Check the individual’s curriculum.

What's really impressive about Nelumbo ‘Mrs Perry D. Slocum’ is, one plant may produce three differently colored flowers at the same time. Developed by Perry. D Slocum in 1964, this cultivar is extremely free flowering. The 9-12 inch lotus is, on its first day of bloom pink and flushed with yellow. On the third day it changes to cream. The leaves are 18-23 inches and the plant can grow up to 5 feet. This cultiva will bloom in a tub or barrel garden, but it is strongly recommended for medium to large pools.

I’ve been working with several Banshee people this week and we finally got my patch committed. All this patch does is provide a managed event that acts as a PCM and spectrum data source. While simple, it is a required building block for the upcoming OpenVP extension. Right now I am getting ready for the 0.0.1 release of OpenVP. The version number is intentionally scary; the API is far from stable and will be changing rapidly. The purpose of this release is to provide a stable target for the Banshee extension. Hopefully getting this in Banshee will generate interest in OpenVP, as well as giving Banshee some cool eye-candy. Everybody wins! My understanding is that after OpenVP 0.0.1 is released and the Banshee.OpenVP extension is finished (it’s proof-of-concept quality right now) it will be absorbed into the Banshee source tree and maintained over there. Which means it will likely come with Banshee 1.4 by default. Awesome.

Do you wish you had more confidence working with data and using it to inform and influence your work? A 360Giving Data Expedition may be just what you need! Data expeditions are a great way for an organisation or a group of individuals to learn new skills around using data and how to conduct analysis which is relevant to their work. Each expedition involves a series of guided workshops led by trained facilitators where participants go on a journey of discovery in the Land of Data – from identifying a question they want to answer, finding data that can help do that, then using the data to try and answer the question. On average, each workshop lasts between 4-8 hours. There is no limit on the number of participants. By the end of the process, each participant will have one output to share with the group. These can be used to support future work on the topic and hopefully help answer bigger questions. Data expeditions cater to any level of skills and knowledge of working with data. They can be run with total beginners and teach skills by actively working on relevant questions, or with mixed ability groups or experienced data users. Each participant is provided with opportunities to engage in ways that play to their strengths. Do all participants need to be from the same team or organisation? Data expeditions are about peer learning, so it’s most effective when participants have a shared challenge or area of interest, whether from within an organisation or even better when organisations or individuals come together to collaborate around a shared challenge or locality. Who can I talk with about this?

How to pitch an idea to an investor? Being an entrepreneur you never know when the opportunity comes to pitch an investor so it is essential to be prepared in advance. Every startup or business needs an investor to enhance their operations but the difficult part comes in when an entrepreneur needs to pitch in front of Investors. Pitching is a tricky part, if you know what an investor wants from you then only you can close the deal. In order to prepare a perfect pitch you need to know how to make a pitch but thats another thing, lets find out the essentials on how to pitch an idea to an investor. The key when pitching your idea is be confident in what you have made and your idea. You dont get chances every day to pitch in front of investors so it is better to do right when you have the opportunity. There is no need to panic just be ready to show them why you are a good investment opportunity. Start with a small introduction to who you are and what your business is. Then this is the most important part when you need to make them feel the problem that is there in the ecosystem and your idea is the best solution to it. It is important that they understand the need for your business. Now is the time to win the hearts of interested investors, show your presentation to investors. Make sure that the presentation is not detailed and contains more infographics of your business as well as the industry you are catering to. A presentation could be in video format as well and you can also show the use of your product by someone in the video, this is just a plus point to attract investors. No one likes to read much so it is better that you keep on explain them as well and keep it brief. Once you made them clear about what your product is, then just show them. If your product can be physically shown then whats better to show its uses right there otherwise if online you can always show a prototype of it as well. Its time to explain about your business model while covering all the aspects like what is your go-to-market approach, business plan, manufacturing process, promotion, you want it to be a brand or not, how much funds you need to do all the process, objectives, mission, vision, etc. This will help you analyse whether they are interested or not. This is the most important question, as even being a rookie you made some mistakes the answer to this question can bring back the interest of investors in you back again. You need to prepare how your business idea is unique than others and how this is the best solution to the problem existing in the environment. Its time to get a little personal, start like a story and try to motivate them on how you faced this problem and decided to solve it with your business idea. Keep it short and simple as there is no need to go into the flow and start making up the facts on your own. It is essential that they find you interesting. First, tell them whether you want funds or seeking partnership so that there is no doubt about it, then tell them how much funds you need and how you are going to use these funds. Now tell them the possibilities of generating revenue. If you give them an estimate and they like the figure then you have the high chances to close the deal right there.

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

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

When we travel the internet looking for the best in anything, one of the first places we will consider looking is the opinions of previous users. It allows us to “use” the product without actually purchasing it. We get the privilege of learning the ins and outs of the product before ever shopping for it. Searching for cookware that fits our cooking needs and style is no different. Below are three things you should keep in mind when writing a review the next time you purchase cookware. When you went to buy your first used car, what were some of the details you wanted to know? Were you interested in the number of miles it had already been driven? How about if it had previously been wrecked? Maybe you were curious about the last time it had a tune-up. The point is, you needed to know certain details in order to feel like you were making the best decision you could make. When reviewing cookware, include details like whether or not it is non-stick. Does it cook evenly? What type of metal is it made of? Is it dishwasher safe and can it take a beating? Including details like these could help a potential future customer decide if the particular brand of cookware fits his/her lifestyle. The Boy Who Cried Wolf tells the story of a young man who repeatedly tricks the people in his village in thinking he was being chased by a dangerous wolf. He did this so many times that when it finally did actually happen, the villagers didn’t believe him and never came to his aid. Lying never benefits anyone. Even if the person who sold you the cookware was the most impolite salesperson on the planet, remember you are reviewing the cookware, not the staff. Be honest. If the cookware heated evenly but slowed down the cooking time, say so. If it was perfect in every way, make a point to show off the details. If your cookware fell apart before you ever got it out of the box, be honest about it. Being honest makes sure that anyone considering buying the product gets the information they need to make a wise decision. There are a lot of things in this world that irritate even the most patient of us. Most of those are daily annoyances. Rotten quality cookware and rotten service, to boot, can set one up to write a review that is more about revenge than how we genuinely feel. In a world where manners are no longer the cool thing, be the bigger person. First of all, showing you can give a mature review will almost guarantee that a potential customer will take you seriously. Second, writing a review that graphically insults the cookware, the maker of it, or the salesperson is a good way to have your review promptly removed. Then, you will have absolutely no impact on any buyer and you have simply wasted your time typing. We are not telling you not to make your feelings known, but there is always a tactful way to do it. Find it. Cookware is an extremely valuable tool in the kitchen. Writing a proper customer review will help thousands to find the tools that work best for them. Follow the tips above to do just that.

Chinchillas are adorable, gentle animals that need attentive care in order to thrive. They make great pets but are sensitive, so they should be handled delicately and housed properly. To keep them happy and healthy, you also need to provide them with a proper diet, give them opportunities for exercise, and keep their cage clean. With planning and ongoing care, your chinchilla will be a wonderful and enjoyable pet for years to come. Provide a large, wire cage. Chinchillas should be kept in cages made of metal. Since they are extremely active animals, the larger the cage, the better. Your chinchilla's cage should be 16 by 18 by 16 inches (41 × 46 × 41 cm) at minimum. A tall and wide cage is the best, but tall is better than wide if you can't get both. Chinchillas love to jump, so multiple levels are great for them. Try to get a tall cage because they can jump up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) high. Glass cages are not good for chinchillas because the glass severely limits air flow. Make sure the cage has a solid bottom. A chinchilla can get its feet caught in wire floors, which can cause serious physical harm. A solid floor can be made of hard plastic or plywood and it is helpful if the bottom piece is removable so it can be cleaned thoroughly. Ensure that the cage bars are close together. It's important that the chinchilla can't stick its head through the bars. If its head fits through the bars, its whole body will fit through and it can escape. These animals have a lot of fur and small bodies underneath. If you choose a wire cage, ensure that there are no bits of wire poking out that your chinchilla could cut itself on if it does try to squeeze through the bars. Provide a nesting box for your chinchilla. A nesting box will give your chinchilla somewhere to take refuge if it is scared or tired. This box should measure at least 20 in (50 cm) in length and 10 in (25 cm) width and height, and can be made out of a chew-proof material. The nesting box should be placed on the floor, not on any shelves, because the chinchilla might knock it down. Proper nesting boxes can be purchased through pet supply retailers online and in some pet supply stores. Place the cage in a high, quiet area. It's important to keep their cage in an area where it is quiet during the day so their sleep cycle is not interrupted. Also, chinchillas do not like being looked down on. You should keep their cage on a counter top or somewhere relatively high up. If you look down on them, it can severely scare them. Chins have different psychology from cats and dogs, which are predators. They are prey animals, so they are always fearful of being attacked and eaten. Do not put a chinchilla's cage in a spot where a dog, cat, or anything else can harm or injure it. Keep your chinchilla cool. Chinchillas overheat easily, so it's ideal to keep them in a room that is between 60 °F (16 °C) and 70 °F (21 °C). They cannot survive temperatures over 80 °F (27 °C) or below 50 °F (10 °C). Also, keep their cage in a room with lots of air flow and make sure their cage is not in a spot where the sunlight can directly land on them. Any amount of direct sunlight can cause them to become overheated very quickly. Do not allow them to be in high humidity, either. If you have a humid home, put them near a dehumidifier. Provide healthy bedding. Try to use kiln-dried aspen on the floor of your chinchilla's cage. You can also use Carefresh or any other paper bedding, but be aware that, when ingested, the paper will expand in the animal's system, causing possible blockage in the digestive tract. Some people use fleece fabric on the bottom of their chinchilla cages. If you do this, the fabric needs to washed weekly and you need to be careful to use only fleece and not other fabrics. Also, never use cedar shavings as bedding, as the phenols in the cedar are very strong and cause serious respiratory, skin, coat and liver problems. They are also poisonous to chinchillas if they try to eat them. Remove soiled hay and bedding from the cage daily. It's important to keep the bottom of the cage clean so that the animal stays clean and disease doesn't spread. Pick up soiled bedding in areas where the chinchilla goes to the bathroom as soon as you see their waste and put new, clean bedding in its place right away. Wash the cage with hot water weekly. It is generally suggested that you use no soap or chemicals on the inside of your chinchilla's cage. Instead, simply use hot water to clean the cage. Swish some water around the cage's plastic pan, then clean it thoroughly with hot water and let it air dry. This is a good way to kill most of the bacteria that can harm your chinchilla. Don't ever use bleach or any other chemicals on the cage that could harm your chinchilla. If you are housing more than 1 chinchilla in a cage, that cage should be cleaned more than once a week. Provide a constant supply of timothy hay. Your chinchilla should have a supply of good quality timothy hay available to them at all times. Provide it in a bowl or loose on the bottom of the chinchilla's cage. You can provide timothy hay in racks and hay balls, but be aware that chinchillas are known for getting stuck in them. Providing hay gives your chinchilla necessary fiber. Chewing hay helps them avoid tooth overgrowth. Give your chinchilla pellets daily. Pellets provide your chinchilla with a variety of vitamins and nutrients. Choose a pellet that is designed for chinchilla nutrition needs and follow the instructions provided with it for portion sizing. Place the pellets in a food dish and make sure that dish is cleaned daily before the pellets are put in it. Most adult chinchillas should eat around 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of pellets every day, depending on what type of pellets they are given. Feed chinchillas treats infrequently. Feeding them other snacks too frequently can cause digestive problems. Safe treats include raisins, carrots, apple, oats, dried blackberry leaves, rose petals from plants that have not been sprayed with poisons of any kind, unsweetened cheerios, unsweetened shredded wheat, dried rose hips, and safe wood chew sticks. However, these should be given in very small servings and should only be given once or twice a week. Never give fruit, vegetables, nuts, or other treats that are not listed as safe. Replace the drinking water daily. Use either filtered water or chemical-free tap water and place it in a water bottle with a sipper tube on the end of it that is connected to the side of their cage. Make sure that they have water in that bottle at all times and put clean water in it every day, even if it still has water in it from the day before. Remember to sterilize the water bottle when changing the water. The algae that grows in their water can cause liver problems or severe diarrhea, or even kill a chinchilla. Chinchillas cannot handle some naturally occurring bacteria or parasites in water like humans, dogs, and cats can, so you need to be sure that the water you give them is clean. Begin handling a chinchilla weekly from an early age. If they are handled from birth, they will be tame and docile. If they have no positive physical contact with people until they are full-grown, they will likely not adjust well to being handled unless they are given extensive training. Read a chinchilla's cues to determine if they want to be handled. Chinchillas are usually very friendly but shouldn't be over-handled. Make sure your chinchilla does not bark as you go to pick it up. If it does, don't pick it up. This is one of their ways of telling you to back off. Chinchillas have other defenses as well, such as losing fur, biting, and spraying urine. If your chinchilla is doing any of these things, you may be handling it too much. Lift your chinchilla properly. Lift your pet like you would for a rabbit. Slide your hand under the chinchilla's belly and place your other hand on top of the chinchilla. Use the hand under the chinchilla to support its hind legs and bum so it feels secure. Don't hold the chinchilla too tightly, but do remember that they can be squirmy, so you need to hold them firmly. It is very important that you don't squeeze, especially around the upper torso. Chinchillas have what is known as a "floating ribcage" and you can cause severe internal injuries to it by squeezing that area. Make sure to be gentle with them to avoid scaring them. Give your chinchilla something to chew on for dental health. Chinchillas' teeth grow continuously and can grow up to 12 inches (30 cm) a year. To avoid overgrowth, which can impact a chinchilla's ability to eat, purchase a special block of wood or pumice stone for your chinchilla to chew on. These are typically available at most pet supply stores. Also provide your chinchilla with branches that can be climbed and gnawed on. Ensure that these branches are not cut from trees that have recently been sprayed with chemicals, or that are poisonous, such as yew, laburnum, and fresh pine. Recommended trees are sycamore and manzanita, as they provide straight wood that is quite resistant to the chinchilla's sharp teeth. Apple tree branches are another good alternative that can be found quite easily. Give your chinchilla dust to bathe in. Water can harm the chinchilla's fur, so you can't give it a bath with water. Instead, give them a dust bath. The "dust" bath is made with a mix of dusting powder made of volcanic ash or activated clay and is available from most pet supply businesses. Place the dust in a metal pan that is at least 6 inches (15 cm) by 12 inches (30 cm) and only allow the chinchilla access to it for about 10-15 minutes 2 to 3 times per week. The dust baths help the chinchilla get rid of excess grease in their fur. Do not get chinchillas wet. Their fur does not dry out like a normal animal, causing it to get damaged and moldy. Letting your chinchilla have too much time in the dust bath will cause too much dryness on the animal's coat. However, too little dust bathing will cause their coats to build up oils, which can cause a disfiguring and deadly fungus to grow on their skin. If you do let your pet out of the cage for supervised play time, it should be in a small room and the room should be chinchilla-proof, which means there are no wires, furniture, or other things for them to chew on. Keep in mind that chinchillas can jump several feet (nearly 2 meters) in the air and can squeeze through tiny spaces when you let them out of their cage. Chinchillas are nocturnal animals, so exercise time outside of the cage is best in the evening in a big area where they can run around. Be wary of using an exercise wheel or ball. Do not provide a wire exercise wheel in their cage. Using wheels like this can cause them to injure their feet. If you want to give them a wheel, make sure it has a solid surface and is large in diameter, so they don't bend their backs too far and injure them. Also, never use the giant hamster balls pet stores try to sell you. Instead, let them out in a supervised air-conditioned room, and allow your chinchillas to run freely. Watch out for signs of illness. Keep an eye on the general health of your chinchilla so that you can catch health problems early and get them treated. Assess the animal's energy level and physical health daily, looking for changes in how it moves and how much it is eating and drinking. Also look over its coat, making sure there are not areas of fur loss. If you see any of these problems, consult with your veterinarian. Look at the clarity of the chinchilla's eyes and for excess drainage from the nose, which can be signs of an infection. Also look at the state of the chinchilla's feces. If the consistency changes dramatically, it may have a digestive problem occurring. How often do I change the sand in their bath house? Dr. Elliott is a veterinarian with over thirty years of experience. She graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1987, and worked as a veterinary surgeon for 7 years. Afterward, Dr. Elliott worked as a veterinarian at an animal clinic for over a decade. When the chinchilla bathes, the dust becomes contaminated with grease and skin debris. If the chinchilla bathes 2 or 3 times per week, change the dust at least once a week. Chinchillas are a prey species which makes them cautious around things they are unfamiliar with. They are not naturally friendly, but can be won over by regularly spending time in the company of people. I dislike terms such as 'low' or 'high' maintenance because each pet is a living creature with its own needs. Chinchillas are a commitment because their cage needs to be kept very clean, they need good quality food, and they need daily interaction with people if they are to be friendly. What is a dust bath? A dust bath is the chinchilla's way of keeping their coat clean. They have exceptionally dense fur, and shouldn't get wet. Rolling in fine volcanic ash absorbs the natural grease produced by the skin and keeps the chinchilla clean. How long does a chinchilla live in captivity? When well-cared for, a chinchilla can live in captivity for up to ten years. Do chinchilas have to live in cages, say if I have my chinchilla in my bedroom would it cause any problems? A chinchilla needs its own space where it can feel safe and secure. Putting it loose in your bedroom will not necessarily give it the space it needs, and it may destroy your room as well. This is a temporary solution only if you have no other options. However, a chinchilla needs a lot more space than a guinea pig does. If you have to use a small cage temporarily, make sure that your chinchilla gets a lot of time out of its cage. No, you should not poke a chinchilla. You should not poke or injure any animal that is in your care. My chinchilla hasn't eaten or drunk water in 4 days. What should I do? Take it to be looked at by a vet right away. It is likely very ill and it needs veterinary care as soon as possible. How many times do I need to clean the chinchilla's cage each week? Once a week should be sufficient for a deep cleaning, but you should remove any soiled hay or bedding daily. Don't try to hold or get up close with your chinchilla until you earn their trust, because they are shy animals and it can be stressful for them whenever they are cornered in an unfamiliar place. Check when you buy any item for a chinchilla from a pet store that it is made specifically for chinchillas and that it is safe. Never feed chinchillas human food. Keep flimsy plastic away from chinchilla cages. Ingesting plastic can cause sickness and/or death. Chinchillas are typically not good for children, because of their rather reserved nature and delicate bodies. To properly care for a chinchilla, keep it in a cage that’s tall enough to give it plenty of room to jump and climb. Provide bedding made from dried aspen or pine shavings, and make sure your chinchilla always has a fresh supply of clean water and timothy hay to eat. Remove soiled hay and bedding from the cage daily, and give your chinchilla a dust bath every 1-2 weeks to help prevent oils from building up on its coat.

Armband monitors can be a very good way to monitor your caloric expenditure. The question is do they work and are they accurate? A new study from the University of Iowa gives us the lowdown with some promising results. The technical term for an armband monitor is an Accelerometer. The primary issue with the use of an Accelerometer is the algorithm the device uses to calculate the energy you expend. There are a number of different calibration equations these things can use. The two devices tested were the MCI Actigraph and the Sensewear Pro 2. Each device uses a different algorithm and set of calculations. When compared to the IDEEA, The Sensewear Pro 2, proved to be quite a bit more accurate, and within about 10% of the IDEEA. The Actigraph showed a fairly wide range of deviance from the IDEEA, ranging from 10 to 40% off. If you must monitor calories with an armband….uh, Accelerometer…it looks like the Sensewear Pro 2 is the way to go.

A lost dog is providing opportunity for Grace Brethren missionaries Kevin and Holly High to meet some of their new neighbors in northern Argentina. The Highs have recently moved to a new area, and the following is excerpted from one of their updates. “We’ve been in the midst of a type of family crisis since last Friday night when our two boxer puppies, seven months old, escaped after dark from our home. They have been part of the family since March and are brother and sister, Spike and Samantha. “In Argentina, this is something that both the police nor the SPCA helps with and the rule of finders-keepers is legal. “On Monday, around lunchtime we recovered Samantha about five miles away in a dark mechanic’s shop inside the cab of a wrecked pickup truck. She was dehydrated and weak but is making a good recovery at home. It is a miracle of the direct intervention of God’s mighty hand that led us to find her.
