Fiddleheads, a special type of fern frond that resembles the head of a violin, are easily found in the Northwestern U.S. in springtime and are often pickled. The fronds hold their shape surprisingly well during cooking. These have been lightly steamed and drained. They want only a dollop of butter and a little salt and pepper, and then are fit for even a king’s table! To be safe, accompany an expert local fiddlehead hunter your first time out--he or she can show you the ropes, saving you a potentially dangerous error. My guide, Mike Brooker, shows me what to looks for when hunting the Maine variety--moist, partly shady terrain. The beaver-chewed tree is a nearly fool-proof sign that fiddleheads are to be found here. Nothing could be simpler than harvesting fiddleheads. But it’s a sound idea to be accompanied by a seasoned gatherer on your first time out. I felt fortunate to tag along with lifelong Mainer Michael Brooker, who gamely offered to show me the ropes. He took me to a lovely spot on his property, where the open woods sloped down to the edge of a beaver pond. It was a lovely site and would have been well worth an outing even without the prospect of harvesting the scrumptious morsels. Mike showed me how to identify the correct species. He patiently presented examples of fiddleheads that were past the correct stage for harvesting, which is simple, because as soon as leaves begin to start bursting out of the tightly coiled frond, their peak has passed. I had expected him to demonstrate a particular type of setting for the Ostrich ferns, but it turned out, the plants weren’t that picky: fiddleheads were to be found in the soft earth at the margins of the pond, uphill from the water, in shade, and in the soft mid-May sunshine. I marveled at Mike’s visual acuity: it seemed that in the time it took me to identify my next target, Mike had found at least half a dozen ferns and plucked them clean. It was the work of only an hour or two for him to fill the large canvas bag suspended from his belt. To be fair, I was pretty distracted, this being my first foray into the springtime Boreal Forest. When not picking, I kept myself well entertained by observing the many amazing local plants coming into bloom in Maine’s sudden spring: dog-tooth violets, bleeding heart, and more. Even so, despite taking pictures and incessant botanizing, I managed to come away with enough of the tender fronds to make a nice introduction to this venerable tradition. We washed them carefully, steamed them lightly, and served in the simplest way possible, with a dash of salt and pepper and a bit of butter. The flavor was delicate and mild, the texture was very tender and not the least bit stringy or bitter. We found them delicious in an understated way, and I was hooked. Next year, I will set my sights higher and eagerly plan to restock my typically-depleted springtime freezer. Fiddleheads are often pickled and there are many ways to do so. The following is a recipe, from the University of Main Coperative Extension Bulletine #4198, entitled ‘Facts on Fiddleheads,” that will show you how to preserve your harvest. In 8-quart enamel, stainless steel or glass container, stir fiddleheads, onions, salt, and enough cold water to cover fiddleheads until salt dissolves; stir in ice. Cover; let stand in cool place 3 hours. Drain fiddleheads and rinse with cold running water; drain thoroughly. Measure sugar, vinegar, turmeric, celery seed, and mustard seeds into 8-quart Dutch oven or heavy saucepan. Over high heat, heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer, uncovered 30 minutes, stirring often. Meanwhile, prepare jars and caps. Add fiddleheads and onions to Dutch oven; heat to boiling. Spoon hot fiddleheads into hot jars to ¼ inch from the top. Immediately ladle syrup over fiddleheads. Process 15 minutes in boiling water process canner. Cool jars and test for air tightness. For more information, see this more in-depth article on Fiddleheads. Randel A. Agrella has overseen rare seed production at Baker Creek since 2005.

I’ve been told that I have my mother’s eyes and my father’s smile. Sometimes the genetics we inherit reveal themselves in very obvious ways. And sometimes they don’t. Recently I wrote this post about DNA tests that can identify your skin’s inherent strengths and weaknesses, enabling you to pinpoint exactly what skincare products are best for you based on your unique genetic profile. This is a critical breakthrough because without this type of information, it’s impossible to know the specific needs of your skin. This is why we buy from the brands that we like (or that have a great sales pitch), get lucky with a few products and end up with a drawer full of skin care rejects that didn’t deliver as promised because they weren’t the right match for our skin. The beauty of these DNA tests is that they take out the guesswork, providing you with clear guidelines on how to shop for your skincare, supplements and professional skin treatments. Of course I could hardly wait to take the test and reveal my skin’s genetic destiny, but I also truly wondered if the information would be valuable to me or not. As someone extremely well versed in skincare, I already knew how to cut through the category clutter and felt very confident in my skincare regimen. Glycation Protection (Gene 3)– Quick skincare lesson: glycation occurs when excess bodily glucose (sugar) molecules link to the skin’s collagen and elastin fibers. Glycated fibers then become rigid and have reduced regenerative ability, leading to accelerated skin aging in the form of wrinkling and decreased elasticity. On a scale of 1-10, my skin’s ability to protect against glycation is about a 2.5. Major fail. So what do I do? Well, this is where it gets interesting. New evidence in the study of epigenetics proves how the lifestyle choices we make can either speed up or slow down the aging process. This can take the form of deciding whether or not to wear sunscreen, or in my case, whether or not to lay off the sugar and carbs. So with this hard data in hand, I can either blame my inevitable premature aging on bad genes, or I can start eating a low sugar diet and basically eliminate the expression of this genetic deficiency. The test has given me the power to alter how my skin ages – whether I like what I need to do or not. Kind of mind blowing, right? Now for some, this info wouldn’t be that enlightening. But it is for me – my husband is an owner in a gelato company and a partner in a bakery. I love sweets and eat more than I should, making this information highly valuable and certainly worth the $299 price of the test. But enough about me. What do tests like this mean for the future of the skincare industry? Here’s what I think. Right now, SkinDNA has the genetic data on over 40,000 people from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. They are adding to this at a rate of 15,000+ individuals a year and running all kinds of correlation studies. These studies generate statistics that have the ability to alter the way skincare is formulated and marketed. For example, they can identify genetic patterns among certain groups that can predict an increased likelihood of a genetic tendency. So I think it’s only a matter of time before this data is sold to a L’Oreal or Estee Lauder who can use it to either create new brands or reposition existing ones using this hard data as a guide. Then for those like me who want an individualized DNA report, the door is opened for companies to create bespoke skincare including both topicals and injestibles. GENEU, who offers a test similar to what I took through SkinDNA, is currently offering a personalized anti-aging serum based on your DNA results. Product starts at £300 for a 4 week supply. The really crazy thing is that DNA testing is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the future of customized skincare. New developments in biology will soon enable custom-made professional treatments, like using an individual’s own blood platelets to create protein-rich, collagen stimulating injectables. By using one’s own skin tissue as the basis for a filler, it has the potential to last longer and be more effective. Then there’s this: Biomedical Micro-engineering researchers at Heriot Watt University in Scotland, in collaboration with stem cell technology company Roslin Cellab, have created a breakthrough printing process that enables 3-D printing of embryonic cell cultures. These embryonic stem cells have an ability to replicate indefinitely and differentiate into almost any cell type in the human body (and I thought 3-D printed packaging was cool!). Since stem cells have the ability to regenerate damaged cells, this technology is expected to basically revolutionize the beauty industry and may truly become the future fountain of youth, all within the next two decades. Of course I’m all over this, so you can be sure that I’ll keep you posted as more and more research emerges. It’s going to be a wild ride!

From time to time I think you thinking how can I insert the wallpaper on the fances in the room. Although that case looks to you to be much more complex than colouring the walls, in fact, it shouldn't take a way more hours and care. Rising percentage of people contemporarily tend to look for an occasion in terms of cooperation with specialists in the topic of interior design. It is proved by the fact that due to support of this kind experts we are likely to be considerably more likely to organize our house in a good looking way. A workplace is a location where works the workforce of the organization and where take places various group meetings, like the conferences with contractors. For these causes, it is worth to manage right destination.

Nobel laureate Bob Solow pronounced 30 years ago that “you can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics”. At the start of the 1980s, the world entered the digital age. Fax machines transformed communications. The introduction of personal computers made high-powered computing available to all. But it took time to work out how to make best use of these major changes in technology. In the 1980s, output per worker in the US grew by only 1.4 per cent a year. But between 1995 and 2005, this had accelerated to 2.1 per cent. We are on the cusp of another acceleration in productivity growth, due to artificial intelligence (AI). Even the mention of AI strikes fear into many hearts. Surely this will cause massive job losses? That is one way to boost productivity, but it’s hardly desirable. In fact, to date most of the applications of AI in companies have not replaced workers. Rather, they have supplemented what employees do, enabling them to be more productive. Two recent pieces in the Harvard Business Review provide firm evidence for this. Satya Ramswamy found that the most common use of AI and data analytics was in back-office functions, particularly IT, finance and accounting, where the processes were already at least partly automated. Thomas H Davenport and Rajeev Ronanki came to the same conclusion in a detailed survey of 152 companies. AI was used, for example, to read contracts or to extract information from emails to update customer contact information or changes to orders. Developments within the techniques of AI itself suggest that practical applications of the concept are about to spread much more widely. There was a surge of research interest in AI in the 1980s and 1990s. It did not lead to much. Essentially, in this phase of development, people tried to get machines to think like humans. If you wanted a translation, for example, your algorithm had to try to learn spelling, the correct use of grammar, and so on. But this proved too hard. The real breakthrough was through the 2000s. Researchers realised that algorithms were much better than humans at one particular task: namely, matching patterns. To develop a good translator, you give the machine some documents in English, say, and the same ones translated into French. The algorithm learns how to match the patterns. It does not know any grammar. It does not even know that it is “reading” English and French. So at one level, it is stupid, not intelligent. But it exceptionally good at matching up the patterns. In the jargon, this is “supervised machine learning”. At the same time, a new study in the MIT Technology Review shows that purely scientific advances in this field are slowing down markedly. In other words, in the space of a single decade, this has become a mature analytical technology – one that can be used with confidence in practical applications, in the knowledge that it is unlikely to be made obsolete by new developments. Productivity looks set to boom in the 2020s.

Real-time body augmentation on HoloLens using Kinect. to build the App Skullfit and actually won the 1. place in the Hackathon. Our goal was to combine Kinect world space coordinates with HoloLens world space coordinates in an automatic approach without using any markers. On top of this framework, we build the HoloLens App Skullfit, which pins the bones of a holographic skeleton to the body of a real person. All the bones can then be dropped to the floor and need to be reassembled to the body using HoloLens.

The child was flown to St. John’s Hospital in Springfield, where, at about 5:15 p.m., the child died, according to the press release. The Macoupin County Sheriff’s Office, along with Illinois State Police Crime Scene Division, DCFS and the Sangamon County Coroner’s Office were conducting an investigation. In the press release, the Macoupin County Sheriff’s Office said they “gave their deepest condolences to the family of the child.” The chlid was not identified in the press release.

The program is designed for children from 18 months to 3 years of age. A young children develop trust in themselves in the beginning of the first year of their life. As they interact with the environment, they learn to move out into the world. Through their own effort, they learn to touch and grasp and understand the things they have been looking at and longing to reach. With the loving and understanding of adults and older children, this exposure to an environment that meets their changing needs, helps the children learn that they are capable, that their choices are wise that they are indeed a fine person. You can find out more about the Toddler Program here and the daily routine here.

As Christmas approaches and you find yourself struggling to think of unique and impressive gifts to buy, it is important to remember there is nothing more valuable than the safety and security of your family and loved ones. We at Keytek have collated a list of gifts and stocking fillers that will help ensure the safety of those you love this Christmas. People who frequently find themselves locked out the house because they’ve forgotten their keys often result in hiding a spare key around the front of their property. This can put their security at risk, as the easiest way a burglar can enter a house is by finding the spare key. An ideal gift for those who forget their house keys is a Key Safe. There is an assortment of Key Safe’s available in a variety of sizes, makes and models. Most Key Safe’s can only be accessed by a code which only the owner and their loved ones know. They are extremely durable and weather resistant, and can be found on the Keytek shop! Motorcycle and bicycle theft remains a growing problem and can be easily avoided by the use of a bike and motorbike lock. If a loved one has a passion for biking, a gift that secures their most prized possession is ideal for Christmas, as motorcycles and cycles can be very expensive, therefore targeted by thieves. Keytek Shop stocks various locks, from chain locks to loop locks, which all offer high levels of security for bikes and motorcycles. Why not consider a humorous yet practical gift this Christmas. The range of Decoy Safe’s on the Keytek Shop can be used to hide money, jewellery and valuables in plain sight. The Keytek Shop offers 3 models of Decoy Safe’s; The Heinz Baked Beanz, Heinz Spaghetti and Heinz Tomato Soup cans, all recognised by the police, neighbourhood watch groups and insurance companies as effective theft deterrents. This year don’t just resort to your usual go to gifts for Christmas; why not throw in a practical gift as well! Gifts which protect the security of a person and their prized possessions are enormously valuable, and the recipient will be extremely grateful in the long run.

Jivana Yoga is appropriate for all level of practitioners. Kristin was a senior yoga teacher at Rasa Yoga Center.She was on our regular schedule and was also an integral part of our 200 hour teacher training program. The easiest way to express my feelings is to simply say, “Kristin is the real deal”. She lives her yoga… she is one of the deepest and most dedicated teacher I have experienced. Her devotion to her practice and her teaching is the most beautiful expression of the true philosophy of yoga. She is at the same time, the most humble person I know and one of the most gifted… a rare combination. Whomever she teaches is receiving a gift beyond anything I could write here. Our students miss her dearly… our studio/town has a space now that no one else can quite fill in the same way. I’m not sure I can do justice regarding what it’s meant to me to be Kristin’s student. After many years practicing with a number of wonderful teachers, it was through Kristin’s guidance that I started to really develop my practice and take it to another, more serious level. Kristin is an excellent teacher of physical asana, and helped me develop and refine that aspect of my practice. But more importantly, she taught me what yoga is, why we practice it and what is and what isn’t quite so important in yoga and in life. I hold Kristin in the highest regard, and will carry her many teachings within me for the rest of my life.

Mixed vegetables like potato, peas, carrots, bell pepper, beans are cooked till soft. They are then mashed together with spices and herbs. The mixture is then stuffed into wheat dough and rolled out into thick parathas. The mixed vegetable paratha is cooked on flat pan until its golden brown on both sides. Makes: 3 – 4 Mixed Vegetable Paratha. Wash and halve the potato. Wash, clean and peel the mixed vegetables if required. Finely chop the mixed vegetables or grate them using thick side of the grater. Cook the vegetables in salted water till just soft but not mushy. Alternatively, use a microwave to cook the vegetables just enough. If making a large batch, you can use pressure cooker to cook everything together. Boil a cup of water, add halved potato. Boil till potato turns soft. Cool to room temperature, peel and mash the potato. Add these mixed vegetables in a bowl with mashed potato. Add green chiles, ginger garlic paste, garam masala, cilantro and salt. Mash everything well and divide the portion into 3 – 4 portions. Take around 3 tbsps of the vegetable mixture and place it on the disk. When both sides are cooked properly, remove mixed vegetable paratha onto a plate. Serve hot mixed vegetable paratha with any raita of your choice. Notes: Adjust the thickness of the paratha according to your preference.

And Glacier Country is a wonderland of winter awe boasting six downhill ski areas with 7,000 acres of skiable terrain and 300+ inches of yearly snowfall. Some of the best snow in North America, in fact. Plus, with miles of brag-worthy backcountry, the depth of discovery is limitless. So whether it means relaxing in the hot tub of a grand mountain lodge after a day on the slopes, taking a holiday horse-drawn sleigh ride to a romantic dinner after snowshoeing in Glacier National Park, or embarking on a backcountry mountaineering or snowmobiling expedition, your version of winter in Montana is waiting.

Slingshot Championship - play your role in the championship shootout from slingshots. Almost everyone played in applications where a sports bow was allocated for you, and then you just had to shoot accurately on different targets. Now you will be handed the most usual slingshot and will be asked to do all the same - to hit the target. Try to aim as accurately as possible, and do not neglect the weather conditions. If you take into account all factors, then you can earn the maximum number of points with your performances and leave all opponents behind. In this case, there will be 3 leading modes available: a career that will take place in 10 locations, a mode with limited time, and more battles in real time. The mechanics of the application are the same in all 3 modes, only the circumstances in which you will have to change, and the complexity that grows little by little, change. Still much will depend on the slingshot, which can be changed, pumped or buy fresh and more powerful shells. The task of the game will be to earn more points than your opponent.

A common question from Sea Kayakers new to Clayoquot Sound revolves around the tidal currents. In many locations around British Columbia there are detailed current speed and time predictions published to assist mariners in route planning; no such predictions are published for Clayoquot Sound. Instead we rely on the Tofino Tidal Predictions published by the Canadian Hydrographic Service. When paddling in more inland waterways (such as the Gulf Islands, San Juan Islands, Desolation Sound, Broughton Archipelago) mariners need to pay very close attention to Current Speed / Turn times vs Tidal High/Low Times. In inland waterways the time difference between the tide high-or-low and current slack water can often have hours long differences. When the tides are rising, the current will move flood from the open ocean towards the inlets. When the tides are falling, the current will ebb from the inlets towards the open ocean. Examining the bathymetry lines (the shape of the sea floor) on a nautical chart, one can easily see the deep channels scoured by the currents. As in a river, the fastest current can be expected in the middle of those channels, while the most turbulent areas will be located along the edges. Tidal currents experienced in Clayoquot Sound will be directly proportional to the size of the tidal range experienced. For instance on a day with a 4 foot difference between and high and low tide one should expect much slower current speeds than a day where we experience a 10 foot range between high and low tides. For reference, the largest tidal ranges we experience in Tofino are about 13 feet (4 meters). Significant changes to barometric pressure (low-pressure from a storm, or high pressure during fair weather) can alter the tidal heights. A strong winter storm will lower the barometric pressure and result in larger tides. Conversely a strong ridge of high pressure will decrease the tidal range. A general rule of thumb; a change of 1 mb of pressure results in a 1 cm change in sea level. Tidal predictions are based on the average air pressure of 1013 mb. Therefore a strong high pressure system of 1033 will lower tidal heights by 20 cm. A low-pressure system of 980 will increase tidal heights by 33 cm. Pay attention to fast changes to weather systems. For the most part the currents manifest themselves as a gentle river moving up and down the passages. Eddy lines can be expected at headlands but once within most current channels the only reminder of the current will be the effect it has on your speed. Understanding how to ‘Ferry’ across the current is an important skill, both while crossing small passages in the inner islands, and larger crossings on the outer coast. On Long crossings, a strong flood or ebb tide can significantly alter your course. Please don’t mistake the lack of published current predictions as a sign the currents should be ignored. The currents can significantly influence the sea-state experienced in Clayoquot Sound. On calm days with a large tidal range, the currents themselves can create hazards. There are locations we can experience up to 5 knots of current which can generate a standing wave big enough to surf. Many kayakers have run into difficulty by not appreciating the speed of the currents within some channels. Many, but not all, of these locations are indicated on the Marine Chart by current directional arrows. On windy days, the current will play an important role. Within the inner waters, the current can drastically change the waves experienced. The waters directly in the Tofino Harbour are a great example. It is very common to experience a North Westerly wind in the afternoon during the summer months. During a rising tide with a flood current, the wind and current will be moving in the same direction; causing the waves to be elongated and less rough. However with a falling tide / ebb current the wind waves will be accentuated and much rougher conditions can be expected. Perhaps the largest consideration with currents in Clayoquot Sound is the influence it can have on the incoming open ocean swell. An outgoing ebb current, will shorten the wave length of incoming ocean swell making the waves much steeper and closer together. Couple this with wind waves, and hazardous conditions can occur on the outer coast. A few locations of note include Moser Pt. by Vargas Island, the Gerrard Group by Flores Island, and Sharp Pt by Hot Springs Cove. Regardless of where you paddle a healthy respect for the tides and currents will serve you well.

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

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

Niyc began her career as a personal trainer. She would push herself really hard. The income wasn’t great, but she was doing something she really loved. Niyc got to a point where she felt stuck while working, going to school, and going back to work at night. That came at a detriment to her health and she felt like a victim. She was playing small because she gave struggle the strength. Last June, Niyc had taken two months off from her business to write her book. She had savings in the bank and was launching an online group program at the end of that two-month gap. She knew it was going to be a success because she worked so hard on it for 6 months with her assistant. When Niyc launched the program, she had a grand total of one sale. Real panic and fear started to set in. She got one or two more sales as weeks went on. Niyc was on the other side of the world, sold her car, and moved out of her apartment. She was faced with the prospect of getting a job and leaving entrepreneurship behind. Niyc decided she needed to stay true to what she talked to her community and clients about. Never abandon yourself. Always back yourself and always believe in yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, then nobody else is going to believe in you. Strength and Love is her leadership style. Niyc leads from a loving heart with joy and inspiration. As a leader she wants to create an atmosphere that is supportive. Niyc is in the editing process of her book Now is Your Chance. She is working on a TV Series, Niyc TV or Happiness TV, still in creation at the moment. Niyc’s morning mindset ritual is what gets her ready in the morning. By building a strong body and strong mind you are able to go out there and seize the day and be a powerful strong leader that is coming from the right place. Niyc would tell herself no matter what happens along the way that it is always going to work out all right.

Sometimes dentists need to do more in-depth work than your regular cleanings & exams. Due to the sensitivity of your teeth & gums, some treatment may require local anesthetic medication to cause numbness. Local anesthesia is used to make a very small, specific area of your body temporarily unable to feel sensations, including pain. Examples of procedures requiring local anesthesia include fillings, crown placement & root canals. A local anesthetic works by blocking nerve cells in a specific area from sending pain signals to your brain. You can expect this numbness to last for two to four hours, which means you will probably still feel residual numbness after your appointment. You may have heard of dentists using Novocain to numb patients’ mouths, but Novocain is not actually used anymore. Modern dentists use much safer & more effective drugs such as lidocaine. These are usually combined with other substances such as vasoconstrictors to increase the effectiveness & duration of the anesthesia. There are two kinds of local anesthetics that dentists use to numb your mouth. The first is called a topical anesthetic, which is swabbed over a small area on the surface of your mouth or gums. In most cases, this is used to numb the area where the dentist plans to inject the other kind of local anesthetic. The injectable anesthetic is what we rely on to keep you comfortable & pain-free. Despite the numbness from the topical anesthetic, some patients feel a stinging sensation from the injection & think it isn’t working. In reality, this feeling is caused by the anesthetic drug entering the body & beginning to work. The stinging subsides within several seconds. Local anesthesia does have side effects, but they are usually not serious. One well-known side effect is a temporary rapid heartbeat, which can happen if the local anesthetic is injected into a blood vessel. One of the chemicals used in the local anesthetic injection, epinephrine, can travel directly from the blood vessel to the heart. You may also know epinephrine by its other name: adrenaline. It is a naturally occurring substance in your body that can rapidly increase your heart rate. The fast heartbeat it causes can be alarming, but it is not dangerous & should return to normal in a matter of seconds. The numbness from local anesthesia will take a couple hours to wear off, which may inhibit proper speaking & eating. After your appointment, you’ll need to be careful about biting & chewing—you could bite your tongue or cheek & not feel it! You may also experience temporary swelling or drooping of parts of your mouth or face. Some patients find themselves unable to blink, though this is not something to worry about. The dentist can tape your eye shut so it won’t dry out. You’ll be able to blink normally again as soon as the anesthetic wears off. Before you undergo a procedure requiring local anesthesia, we will ask for information regarding any allergies & the medications you take. There is a possibility you might need a different formula if you have certain medical conditions. Call us if you have concerns or wish to know more about how we use local anesthesia.

A car accident today in our red car on the way to dialysis. Victor was driving. I have no idea what happened because I was playing a game on my phone, looking down. All I got was the crash. We were hit by a young man who was wearing a Concordia student outfit, who also hit another car after he hit us or in the middle of hitting us. Victor was making a left hand turn across an intersection. He says all he saw was something came from the right suddenly and there we were spinning to the left. He had his foot on the brake and we got stopped before re-entering traffic on Redland’s Blvd. The car’s airbags deployed. We had a Sheriff pull up on us as I was getting out of the car. They helped Victor get out of the car. His door would not open properly and he only had a small space between the airbag and the door frame. His artificial leg made it awkward. I got out of the car quickly grabbing my purse and dialysis bag, as well as my cane. My phone was still in my hands. We were moved over to the curb for safety. I took pictures of the cars involved. Paramedics were called because our airbags deployed. The fire department moved the car to the side of the road. The community liaison from the SB Police came and took reports and made sure everyone had shared insurance and names. Victor stayed with the until it was towed. The tow truck driver brought him home. My dialysis center director came in her car and brought me to the center from the accident site three blocks away. I am bruised on my left hand and arm, plus down my right hip from the seat belt. I ache, but then I ache all the time anyway. We are all right, just going to be sore for a few days, plus dealing with the aftermath of having our car hit. Victor with the smashed car.

Ontario Pathways, New York - Walk Ride U.S.A. The Ontario Pathways are a set of 23.3 mile long unpaved pathways located to the southeast of Rochester in Upstate New York. The trails were constructed along an abandoned rail road right-of-way and go through the farmlands and woodlands of beautiful Upstate New York. The Ontario Pathways are not paved and has a surface of packed cinders, packed crushed stone or grass. The trails are open for bike riding, running and walking, but may not be suitable for all varieties of bicycles. There are a couple of short gaps in the route where trail users will need to use local roads to reach the next section of the trail. The Ontario Pathways go past the following communities: Canandaigua, Aloquin, Stanley, Clifton Springs and Phelps. The Ontario Pathways form a "V" shape and have three endpoints. The southwestern end is located in the town of Canandaigua at Ontario County Park at S. Main Street and Ontario Street. This location is at the north end of the downtown area. The southeastern end is located at the intersection of Mott Road and Leheigh Street in the community of Stanley. The northeastern end is located along NY-96 to the west of Junction road in Phelps. Following are links to official off-site resources to find out more details about the Ontario Pathways in Upstate New York.

Not much to write here except... EMILY AND I ARE DOWNHILL SKIING AT A RESORT IN JUNE!!!! Ha ha.. how many people can say that!? Timberline extended our season passes through mid-June and we were more than happy to head up there for a day of skiing. Unfortunately, the day we chose happen to be one of the cloudiest in all of June (which turned out to be a pretty wet June here compared to the average). The Palmer chair lift was completely enveloped in clouds until the last few lift towers. At that point it cleared completely to bluebird skies and a ton of sun reflecting off the Palmer Glacier which everyone was skiing. We could see climbers heading up the mountain towards the Devil’s Kitchen and watched as skiers and snowboarders descended down into the clouds below. We were able to ski all the way back down to the Magic Mile chairlift but only did that once since it was so cloudy with visibility nearly at zero. I was forced to ski slalom between bambo poles marking the edge of the trail just to see where I was going to prevent nausea from the lack of visibility. On the chairlift up it was creepy to not be able to see the lift towers or even other chairs around you. It was like riding a steel cable into the abyss. We skied for about 4-5 hours and then headed back to Corvallis for the night.

PHILADELPHIA - Flyers forward Simon Gagne reiterated that he will sit out the rest of the season because of lingering symptoms from a series of concussions, with one caveat: A trip to the Stanley Cup final. "I'm going in the right direction like I want," he said. "I'm sure I'd like to be 100 per cent right away, but I know it's going to take time. We've got a long period of time in front of me before I start playing again." Gagne had his first concussion Oct. 24 when he was hit in the jaw by Panthers defenceman Jay Bouwmeester. He sat out four games, then was hurt again Nov. 7 and missed the next 26 games. He was injured again on his first shift in a Feb. 10 loss at Pittsburgh and hasn't played since. The Flyers are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference.

The CPSC suggests installing a fence or other barrier completely around the pool. If the house is part of the barrier, the doors leading from the house to the pool should be protected with an alarm or the pool should have a power safety cover. The fence or other barrier should be at least 4' high, with no foot or handholds that could help a young child to climb it. Vertical fence slats should be less than 4" apart to prevent a child from squeezing through. For any pool barrier, the maximum clearance at the bottom of the barrier must not exceed 4" above the grade or 2" above non-solid surfaces such as dirt and grass. Gates should open out from the pool and should be self-closing and self-latching with the release mechanism 54" or more from the bottom of the gate. Traditional mechanical hinges and latches for gates often fail to close the gate properly. The new generation of hardware, latches that are magnetically triggered and tension adjustable hinges, provide a reliable, self-closing gate. These innovative products have now become the standard in pool gate hardware. These national guidelines, courtesy of Master Halco, present standards for pool fencing. The law can vary by town, however most have adopted these standards.

Wolfe’s Neck Farm got a new name, the Wolfe’s Neck Center for Agriculture & the Environment, and officially became part of an internationally trending agricultural movement that aims to fight climate change from the ground up. Beyond some signs referring to a TransFARMation, the changes aren’t obvious. That’s because a big part of the rebranding has to do with a mission happening underfoot. Literally. This transformation is about using the soil on this centuries-old 626-acre farm on the shores of Casco Bay to combat climate change. As to be expected with the ever-evolving world of agriculture, there’s a buzzword for the new approach: regenerative agriculture. But it’s not yet in widespread use, and Wolfe’s Neck’s executive director David Herring finds himself defining it a lot. Start with soil health. Richer soil, more dense with organic material, is the obvious path to stronger plants and better yields. That’s what compost is all about. Every farmer engaged in sustainable agriculture is already working toward this. “These are not brand-new things,” Herring said. “None of these things are.” But there’s a growing consciousness – Herring even uses the word “revolution” – of the potential agricultural soils high in organic material have to trap more carbon, enough potential to halt or even roll back climate change. Improving soil will build a higher level of resilience; organic matter in soil absorbs and retains more water, making farms more drought and flood resistant. But the major premise behind the burgeoning regenerative agriculture movement is that improving soil health is also the ideal means to get excess greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere and into the soil. Soil already sequesters carbon. It has potential to sequester a lot more, if it has human help to increase its capacity to hold carbon. And those humans need some help figuring out the recipe to healthier soil – meaning richer in organic material that can trap the carbon. Based on the speed at which the climate is changing, the recipe needs to be developed quickly. Which is where Wolfe’s Neck Center for Agriculture & the Environment comes in. It will continue to be the place to go for a hayride in the fall, seashore camping in the summer or a field trip to gawk at new calves and squeal at the cuteness of baby goats. It’s also still the home of a burgeoning organic dairy program designed to train the next generation of dairy farmers, thus bolstering a struggling sector of agriculture. But it has a new role as an observatory for how known methods of enriching soil naturally are working and – this is key, given how climate change is already affecting us – a laboratory for figuring out how to improve soils rapidly. Agriculture has to be part of the solution, Herring said, because it is a major contributor to climate change. Some estimates range even higher, up to 25 percent, although the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions puts it at 7 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Methane releases from livestock (the flatulence of cows is no joke), are a huge factor. Ruminants represent 37 percent of agriculture’s contribution, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Wolfe’s Neck, which began an organic dairy farmer training program in 2015 with a $1.7 million contribution by Stonyfield Organic, has a lot of cows. Last year, Stonyfield, owned by French dairy giant Lactalis as of July, bought nearly 44,000 gallons of milk from Wolfe’s Neck, relatively speaking a drop in the bucket of the organic milk it sources throughout the region. But it is in the environmentally conscious company’s best interests to support efforts to halt the degenerative effect dairy farming has on climate. That’s why Stonyfield is contributing $250,000 in seed money for the regenerative agriculture observatory. The hope is, Wolfe’s Neck will help light the way to a better future for dairy. Katherine Paul is the spokesperson for Regeneration International, a group that formed in 2015 to advocate worldwide for regenerative agriculture. She’s also, coincidentally, a Maine resident who visits Wolfe’s Neck regularly (she was hiking there a weekend ago). She said it is heartening to see a local farm embracing regenerative agriculture. Wolfe’s Neck is trying to change that. Topsoil is the nutrient rich top layer of earth where crops and plants can easily take hold. It was the lack of topsoil that turned American farmland into the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. Overclearing of native plants for agricultural expansion in the Southern Plains in the 1920s, combined with severe drought, degenerated the soil and caused the topsoil to blow away in the hundreds of millions of tons. One of the all-time worst ecological disasters caused by mankind, the Dust Bowl broadened our understanding of how essential, and fragile, topsoil is. That was perhaps the ultimate early warning of how damaging agriculture can be to the soil. Through regenerative agricultural methods, which are sometimes referred to as carbon farming or conservation farming, the old rules are going out the window. As in, he’s deepening his topsoil, the good stuff, and it’s not taking him hundreds of years. Last fall, as it moved toward becoming a regenerative agriculture observatory, Wolfe’s Neck installed seven soil sensors that record data from 4 feet deep in the ground. They’re measuring the changes in the soil as they nurture it, with a focus on how much its composition is made up of organic material. The average healthy New England soil measures a 6 on the scale of percentage of organic matter in the soil (SOM), he said. (There’s no “top” of the scale per se, but Dust Bowl soil would have been less 1 at best, and Cox is proud that his in New Hampshire is an 8 and rising.) The plan is to see how fast Wolfe’s Neck can increase its organic composition through natural amendments, using cover crops, rotating crops and practicing no-till agriculture. They’ll keep an electronic record of all that they do (and don’t do), and the sensors will give them feedback about how the soil is changing. Before delving into regenerative agricultural methods, which combine pieces of permaculture, biodynamics and organic farming, it helps to understand how plants help trap carbon in the soil and why that’s so important. A plant pulls carbon out of the atmosphere through photosynthesis, drawing it down into the soil through its roots. Research shows that the plant releases some of that carbon into the area around its roots and that entices soil organisms to feed; they want that leached carbon. “The soil is alive,” Cox said. And it’s hungry, hungry for carbon-based food. Because of human activity, the world now has too much carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere; those shifting levels are higher than ever before in human history. The gauge is how many parts per million of carbon make up the atmosphere. Throughout human history, that’s been about 280 parts per million; 350 is considered acceptable by the scientific community. Today that figure is about 400 parts per million. That’s the numerical evidence, while record-breaking hot summers and disasters like hurricanes Harvey and Irma are the demonstration of it. Much of the increase comes from the way we burn fossil fuels, but some of it, possibly as much as a quarter of it, stems from the way we grow our food. The clearing of forests to make room for crops worldwide is an obvious culprit and so are those farting cows. But so are common methods like tilling, which exposes the microbes under the ground to oxygen. There are billions of organisms in a handful of healthy soil, and tilling brings them to the surface. “Just like opening the damper on your wood stove, you are accelerating the process,” he added. Cox urges people to think not just about soil as a living organism, jammed with tiny fungal matter and microbes, but as something with a physical structure. Regenerative agriculture is not a new concept. Robert Rodale, the son of J. I. Rodale, the giant of organic farming circles, is credited with coining the term, to describe the way topsoil could be regenerated. In the 1980s, the Rodale Institute started the Regenerative Agriculture Association and for a few years, regularly published books on the topic. Then it faded away. The term resurfaced in recent years. In June 2015, a group of 100 activists from 60 countries met in Costa Rica and formed Regeneration International. Then, during the United Nations climate change talks in Paris later that year, regenerative agriculture was a big topic of conversation, leading to the establishment of the French “4 per 1000” initiative to increase soil carbon by that amount every year over the next 25 years in order to stabilize the climate. Conservation activist and author Courtney White has watched as a topic he first heard about from a rancher in Marin County, California in 2010 become trendy. He published a book in 2014, “Grass, Soil, Hope: A Journey Through Carbon Country,” that included a chapter on Cox, and he’s working on a new book with a Western farmer who had powerful success with regenerative agriculture on his farm. More books are showing up the marketplace (see sidebar, S8). “Regenerative agriculture is where things are headed,” White said. The name might be confusing, since some call it carbon farming and others call it conservation farming, he said. But it is more than just a rebranding of sustainability.

My focus on biomorphic forms stems from my interest in the human encounter with disease. Disease is an experience that radically transforms life through its ability to force a discussion about human suffering and survival. I have witnessed how a devastating disease, while excruciating, can change one’s life in a positive and powerful way. Personal experience and microscopic slides of human tissue influenced my work. Creating textured form, I reference organic growths that explore the relationship between health and disease. My sculptures explore the temporary symbiotic relationship between healthy and deadly cells in patients who are battling disease. My reference material is alluded to through the use of glass, which parallels the qualities seen in the images seen thru the microscope. The highly textured surfaces imply the growth of disease while yellow, red and amber allude to bodily fluids. Concurrently, the bright quality of the colors used reflects the positive consequences that disease can cause.

This policy reimburses the victims for property damage and bodily injuries. This policy does not reimburse the policyholder. He will be reimbursed for his own car repairs. Collision car insurance will reimburse the policyholder, no matter who is at fault. It can be used even if the policyholder flips his own car or hits other cars that he possesses. He will be reimbursed if the car is damaged by events not involving an accident. Comprehensive car insurance is designed to financially compensate the driver is the covered car is damaged or totaled by extreme weather phenomena, animal attacks, vandalism or other factors beyond policyholder's control. In many contracts, the client will encounter the term "Act of God". This policy also covers car theft. He will be reimbursed if he is hit by an underinsured or uninsured driver. The number of uninsured and underinsured drivers across the United States is pretty high. Having this policy is recommended if the driver lives in areas with high unemployment rates. "Purchasing multiple car insurance policies may cost more than having just a bare-bones policy, with just the minimum requirements. But you will have a better financial protection" said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company. Hub International Acquires Ontario-Based Southland Insurance Brokers Inc.

What Can You Purchase in the Florida Keys for Under $250,000? The Florida Keys have long been known as an ideal destination in South Florida, either as a place to vacation or a place to live full-time. The perception is that most places to live in the Keys are out of reach for many buyers. While it is true that the Keys are home to some of the most expensive real estate in South Florida, there are also places you can find for under $250,000. Here is a list of all the properties in the Keys, from Key West to Key Largo. Many of them are condos, but there are also some single family homes.

Our Topsoil contains good basic fertility, organic matter and pH. It is a lighter density topsoil so that it won't dry out and harden up in the middle of summer like some darker soils do. You will need to purchase some vegetable or sod/seed specific fertilizer at a your local garden store to get the best results from your project. There is no "Jack & the Bean Stalk" magic soil in Denver that contains all the trace minerals and nutrients needed for every type of lawn or garden project. I am from a farm in the Midwest, where we have some of the most fertile and productive soils on earth. We still went to the local fertilizer company and purchased a fertilizer blend every spring to grow the biggest crop of corn, soybeans and hay. Example: 20 feet long by 60 feet wide = 1200 square feet.

A still from the video which was shared on, and later removed from, Facebook. Six young people are appearing in court in Vienna on Wednesday, accused of beating a 15-year-old girl so badly last November that she ended up in hospital. They filmed the assault and shared the video on Facebook. The attack left the girl, named as Patricia, with her jaw broken in two places, and she had to spend a week in hospital where a steel plate and screws were inserted into her jaw to fix it into place. She told police that the violence had been organised by one of the people in the gang after she stood up to one of the girls, who decided to teach her a lesson. A court appointed medical expert will give evidence at the trial. In the video, the girl is seen being hit 22 times - but the final blow which broke her jaw was not on camera. A 21-year-old man is accused of breaking her jaw by punching her in the face. The violent assault took place near the Kagran U-Bahn station in Vienna's Donaustadt district. The ringleaders of the gang are thought to be a 16-year-old Chechen boy and a 16-year-old girl from Lower Austria who is in social care. The Chechen youth, who came to Austria as a refugee, was arrested last week after he posted death threats against the Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz on social media.

The Nexus 7 is an inexpensive tablet already, but you can sometimes catch it on sale for a relative pittance. A refurbished 32GB N7 is currently waiting for you on eBay Daily Deals for $169.99. That's close to the price we recently spotted for the 16GB. This is a refurb device, so the warranty is only 90 days. Still, it's $100 less than the Google Play price. This tablet is getting on toward the end of its life cycle, but it's still a pretty capable machine with 2GB of RAM and a Snapdragon S4 Pro. The eBay deal includes free expedited shipping worldwide, but there is a limited quantity. Might want to get on it.

Even though its official release date is not yet announced, there are some rumors that the latest 2017 Ford Atlas will hit the market probably in the beginning of 2017. Almost everyone knows that the Ford has the most sales in the pickup segment; actually, they have the best-selling pickups in America. This concept for the first time appeared at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, and since then we wait for some news about it. This time, we know a lot of things about it and we are going to present you this remarkable model. The approaching model will probably provide the best fuel economy in this segment, as well as a lot of smart technologies and massive exterior and elegant interior design. The exterior design of the new model will be very attractive and so powerful. This model gives the impression of a very strong vehicle, capable for both on the road and off road drive. At the first glance, it is very similar to the F-150 model. The rectangular headlights are also divided into two parts and it features the newest LED technology. Down low, the rectangular fog lights are also powered by the LEDs and very useful in improving road vision when the weather is bad. The gigantic front grille with the Ford logo gives the vehicle so strong and aggressive impression and most of the people are just delighted with this detail. You can imagine how people reacts when they see all possibilities of the resulting 2017 Ford Atlas. For better off-road capabilities, this model has extremely tires and very nice alloy wheels. Features like active wheel shutters, drop-down front air dam and power running boards improve aesthetic design and fuel efficiency. Other exterior features are dual-purpose tailgate step, dynamic hitch assist, cargo cradle, 360-degree point-of-view camera, side mirror lighting, hidden cargo ramps, and many others. From the inside, the 2017 Ford Atlas is so spacious and very futuristic. All seats are very large and made of lightweight materials. Of course, leather upholstery is something that is normal for all modern vehicles, and also for this model. Entertainment in the cabin will be on high-level thanks to the new infotainment display located in the center of the dash. Three spokes steering wheel is also covered by the leather and has a lot of buttons for easier controlling the touchscreen display. Some of the features inside are cruise control, noise audio system, blind-spot monitors, lane-keeping system, air condition, very supportive and lightweight seats, and many others. Under the hood, the resulting 2017 Ford Atlas will be powered by a 5.0 liter V8 engine that will be capable of generating 360-hp and 380 pound-feet of torque. Power from the engine will be routed to all wheels’ trough the 6-speed automatic transmission system. This is not official, but some rumors say that the upcoming model will run to the 60 miles per hour in 8.1 seconds. The fact is that the fuel economy of Ford pickups is really bad, but they will try to reduce the fuel economy of this model but we don’t have anything official. The release date of the anticipated model will be by the end of this year, or most lately in the beginning of 2017. The price for the new 2017 Ford Atlas will start from the $28.000, but can go up to the $51.000 when this model is fully equipped.

People often think about their future, how they would like to live 20 years from now, and especially where. Everyone has a dream home, which will be unique in every way possible, and will be similar to a palace. But unfortunately, for most people, the ridiculous amounts of money required to construct such a dream house is just too much. However, you would be surprised to know that you could build your dream house at a fraction of the cost of building a mansion. Don’t believe me? It is completely true and read on to know more. 1. Arched Cabins is a company based out of Houston, TX, and Timberon, NMwhich has been expanding rapidly. 2.

In the can a file be deleted project, I'm not sure what are the dependent and independent variables. Does any one have any ideas on this? Thanks. Hi, and welcome to Science Buddies! This will be an interesting project. For this project, you will not be following the Scientific Method Process with variables. Instead, you should follow the Engineering Design process, which is a series of steps that engineers follow to come up with a solution to a problem. You can read more here. Take a look at this and write back with questions. Deana, thank you for that information. But I'm still a bit confused. The Engineering Process includes building a prototype. I'm not building anything or programming anything in this project. I'm just going to try different ways to delete files. My son wondered about that too when he saw it. He asked the computer teacher and she said that it wasn't really a project. It was more like a simple experiment to demonstrate something. She suggested not doing this with Windows since once a file is deleted out of the wastebasket it's pretty much gone because Windows is always writing to the disk. She said to try it in Linux but also suggested that he write his own undelete code. That would make it a project.

The latest album from three times Eurovision Song Contest winner was in September released in Denmark, Sweden and Norway and made it to the charts in all three countries. At the end of January Irishman in America will be released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Irishman in America was recorded in Denmark, Germany, Ireland and the USA and was first released in the three Scandinavian countries, where Johnny Logan is quite a big name and always makes it to the charts. With this album he however didn’t manage to get the top positions, as he is use to. The album was four weeks on the Danish album Top40 where it peaked as #10. In Norway it peaked as #20 with five weeks on the Top40. In Sweden it only had three weeks on the album Top60 and peaked as #24. With the coming release in Germany, Austria and Switzerland he gets another chance to make it to the absolute top. There are a few things different on this album. Johnny Logan’s three sons, Adam (29), Fionn (24) and Jack (16), all sing chorus on the title song Irishman in America. Johnny Logan himself has worked as a producer on the whole album, which is the first time he is trying that. ← System Of A Down to Represent Armenia?

The 1082 IMX is an absolutely perfect sidedrifting rod for those faster seams just loaded with steelhead. With a bit faster action than the 1141, this IMX was created with steelhead in mind. It is extremely light weight which keeps your boat guests from fatiguing on the river. The 1082S is a rod that I highly recommend if you are fishing with new-ish people because the ultra sensitive IMX graphite allows you to them to easily feel the difference between a tick on a rock and the soft, tender bite of a steelhead. The shorter length is ideal for boat fishing as it helps when trying to bring a hot fish to the boat, the last thing you want to worry about is where you need to stand in the boat or how you’re going to bring a fish all the way to the surface with your arm trying to hold the rod tip up. Pricing at $395 retail to truly enhance your sensitivity, the same dimensions also comes in a GL2 for just $220 if you are targeting kings or larger salmon.

Our client was struggling to maintain and grow its business due to a reliance on a core repertoire management system that was recognised as being no longer fit for purpose. Our client had reached a pivotal point in its development, but its global ambitions and passion to be the best in its field were being hampered by outdated software and manual business processes. There had been several attempts to develop a new repertoire management system that would allow the company to expand. A lot of time and effort had been spent, but with little to show in terms of tangible results and change. There was a growing frustration about the lack of progress and the resulting impact this had on the client’s business. We started working with this client as they were about to kick-off the first phase in the development of a new repertoire management system. It became clear that for the project to succeed there needed to be a stated consensus amongst management and stakeholders of why the development was being undertaken and what they were trying to achieve in business terms. This necessitated some core thinking and discussion about where the client was looking to go as a business and the customers it was seeking to attract. These decisions had to be made alongside maintaining the momentum of the project, and delivering tangible outcomes for stakeholders who had seen previous projects halted. Development of a roadmap that clarified the new repertoire system in the context of the business strategy and systems architecture; this was agreed by management and stakeholders and used to guide decision making going forward. Working with management and stakeholders to ensure that the rationale for the new repertoire system was understood and agreed. Helped the client to state the key success criteria against which the repertoire management project would be assessed; this allowed decisions to be made, and the project to move forward. Working with stakeholders to confirm the priorities and phasing of the repertoire management project, such that benefits could be delivered as early as possible, whilst maintaining alignment with the agreed roadmap. Established ways of working with the client and a 3rd party software house to kick off the first phase of development of the new system and set in place the approach for future phases. Handover to client’s internal project manager for the continuation of the project. First phase of the new repertoire management system delivered and ready for testing. Established a framework in which future projects could be defined and prioritised in the context of an agreed roadmap. Facilitated an effective dialogue between IT and business stakeholders, setting in place a model for future projects.

Do you know about eye care? When was your last eye examination? If it has been ages since you’ve had an appointment, you need to read the tips below. For best results, see a highly qualified eye doctor for serious issues with your eyes to get the best care. To locate the top doctors, look to your friends and family for suggestions, as well as find feedback from patients online.

Get a good pair with great UV protection, and wear them each time you leave the house. Sun damages both the eyes and the skin surrounding the eyes. Do not go without eye protection on sunny days. You may already know you need to wear sunglasses in the summertime, but you should realize they are important in winter, too. This is because snow reflects a great deal of light. UV rays from the sun can still hurt your eyes on cloudy days, even though it is not bright. Not all sunglasses work the same. Make sure the sunglasses you use are able to block close to 100% of the UVB and UVA rays. Some poorly-made sunglasses may actually hurt your vision. Do you still smoke? It is time to quit. You probably know about the damage it does to your lungs, but you may not know your eyes are affected, too. Most smokers have an increased proclivity for eye disease. Damage and harmful growth of cataract are minimized when you quit. A major way to protect the eyes is by wearing sunglasses. Even on cloudy days you should protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. Find shades that offer UV protection. It may be worth paying more to ensure that your eyes are protected. Those who are constantly staring at a computer screen should be aware that doing so may damage eyes. Blink often to prevent dryness. Try not to stare at your screen too often. You can also invest in a special, anti-glare screen. Finally, position the monitor so that your eyes are even with the top edge of the screen. Look down at your computer at all times. Poor eye health is usually from many different factors. It is highly important to know what it takes to ensure healthy eye care.

Staple the blind and webbing to the batten. to the back of the batten. This will hold them in place until the batten has been screwed to the wall, and will make the blind and cord easier to handle. Alternatively, binding the blind with a contrasting fabric is a smart alternative to lining it.

Please tell the Bronx Zoo and the Wildlife Conservation Society that elephants do NOT belong in captivity and it is time to send their elephants to a sanctuary. The Bronx Zoo currently houses three elephants: Patty, Maxine and Happy. However, you only see two elephants on display. Where's the third? Driven mad by their captivity, Patty and Maxine killed Grumpy, a male companion to Happy, one of the Bronx Zoo's best held secrets. Grumpy was the same age as Happy and captured the same year as she, meaning he was probably a brother, cousin or other close relative (Brad Hamilton, New York Post). They were constant companions throughout their zoo-hopping lives before landing at the Bronx Zoo in 1977. After Grumpy's untimely death as a result of attacks from Patty and Maxine, Happy was removed from the exhibit and put in solitary in 2002. Happy is one of the world's most famous elephants for proving elephants have self-awareness. After being captured from the wilds of Thailand, she has spent the last 37 of her 43 years in the cramped Bronx Zoo, with inadequate room to roam and inadequate companionship. The Detroit Zoo, praised by animal advocates, scientists and behaviorists alike, has retired elephants once housed at their zoo to a sanctuary and now have better attendance in their zoo than ever. The Bronx Zoo has announced it would close its elephant exhibit after the remaining three elephants have died, but it cannot come soon enough for these very social creatures. Tell the Bronx Zoo and the Wildlife Conservation Society that it is time to honor their commitment to animal welfare and close their elephant exhibit, sending Patty, Maxine, and Happy to a sanctuary.

The Clinical Education research group have been investigating the academic and non-academic factors which may affect student performance with the goal of being able to predict when students may be at risk of poor academic performance. At the AECC we would like our students to get the most out of their learning experience and achieve the best results they can. As such, we have been looking at academic and non-academic factors which are linked to poor performance and optimal performance. If we can find factors which are linked to poor performance, we can address these early in future years to ensure better performance. If we can find factors which are linked to optimal performance, we can encourage and nurture these factors through the year to help students achieve the best results. The first study examined the Influence of year-on-year performance on final degree classification in a chiropractic master’s degree program. This involved an analysis of student’s assessment grades over their period of study at the AECC to see if performance in one year can predict performance in another year or whether it is possible to predict degree classification based on previous assessment results. Currently, the team are analysing non-academic factors, such as attendance, previous education, library usage, additional learning needs (ALN), time management, study skills and stress, and whether these can help identify which students are at risk of failing. Future work in this area is ongoing both within the AECC and through collaborations with other universities such as the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic, to build a bigger picture of the type of student who may need additional assistance in their education so that they can be appropriately supported to achieve their full potential. Results of these studies have been presented at international conferences, such as the World Federation of Chiropractic Conference in Washington D.C. and the European Chiropractors’ Union Conferences in Dublin and Cyprus. The following papers have been published or are currently under review by research journals focussing on chiropractic education.

A Florida felon is back in jail after uploading photos to his Instagram page showing him posing with firearms. Police raided Depree Johnson’s Lake Worth home last week after investigators spotted the incriminating images of the 19-year-old on the photo-sharing web site. Johnson’s rap sheet includes convictions for grand theft, burglary, and felon in possession of a firearm. As seen above, one of the Instagram photos (click to enlarge) shows Johnson holding two handguns, while a friend points another weapon at his head. Detectives with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office recently examined Johnson’s Instagram account as they were investigating his possible involvement in a series of burglaries. The search of Johnson’s home turned up numerous pieces of stolen jewelry and a pair of stolen firearms. As a result, Johnson was arrested and booked into the county jail on 142 criminal counts.

In part 1, we talked about the differences were between a VO2max and a Physiological Assessment, the benefits of each and the importance of analyzing the homeostatic capacity of various systems, not just concentrating on one or two values. As we stated, there are two major parts of the Physiological Assessment: the resting and the active. These are set up this way as we try to keep in my mind the “Extended Performance Pyramid”, adapted from the Functional Movement Systems concept of the Performance Pyramid. This concept adds the importance of one’s physical and mental health, which we see as the foundation to build a resilient and consistent person in regards to their performance. Our physical and emotional health need to be assessment and treated if needed, before we even think of how fast we can become or how many goals we can score. You will always have a fundamental limitation to your full potential if you ignore you basic physical and mental state. We always start with the client’s individual history, using the “HRV Optimization Checklist” I developed for HRVcourse.com as a guide. This checklist goes through major areas of one’s health and wellness: Physical Health, Emotional Health, Nutrition, Sleep and Physical Activity. However, this is not a conclusive list and is only a way to see which part of the client’s health needs to be looked into further. For example, has the person been hospitalized for any reason? Have they been in a car accident? Have they had a concussion? Why did they tend to ignore questions about their home life? Is there something that may be going on that they aren’t telling me? By having a full, detailed history of the person you are about to assess is critical, as there may be something they think is a small issue that maybe significantly impacting their health and performance. After we have a picture of the subjective information from the client, we then do a Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) tests. From here, we can see the current health status of the individual, getting values such as LnRMSSD and HF from HRV, and Phase angle (PA), basal metabolic rate and body cell mass (BCM) from the BIA. These values allow us to get information about the persons overall homeostatic capacity, acute and chronic stress status, and cellular health to know if a person is thriving, or just surviving. As the metaphor goes, if you want to optimize your performance, there is no point adding horsepower to a car that has a flat tire. To assure that we don’t do that, we assess the movement of the person to see if they do have the flat tire. They need the basics in order to perform at a high level, assuring there is no major dysfunctions that would limit them from moving to a higher level. For this, we use the systematic approach of the Functional Movement Systems (FMS), provide objective information about their movement and provide exercises to help assess limitations caught by the screens, tests and assessments of the FMS. A VO2 assessment looks at your ability to intake oxygen, which is used to turn into fuel for the body to use. Are you breathing too fast? Breathing too shallow? Are you breathing out almost the same amount of oxygen you are breathing in? This is where your performance starts; can you supply your body what it needs to survive? And at what point does it break? Too many people mistakenly exercise too hard or are not exercising hard enough. Assessing your heart rate, you will know your ideal training zones, you get the most out of every exercise session. Whatever happens during your physiological assessment, whatever system is limited or compensating, you will use your heart rate as the marker of intensity to work on that system. For example, if your ventilation rate is the first to significant change at a heart rate of 150bpm, then this value will be used in your recommendations as this is easily measured compared to the other systems. The MOXY monitor is a part of the new wave of physiological testing. It is a small, non-invasive sensor that utilizes infrared light to continuously monitor oxygen saturation (SmO₂) levels and total hemoglobin (THb) in the muscles while they exercise. It is designed to provide accurate, real time measurements of the percentage of hemoglobin-and-myoglobin-carrying oxygen in the capillaries and cells of muscle tissue, where oxygen is consumed to produce energy. MOXY helps identify optimal training intensity zones and provides feedback on the physiologic systems limiting performance. From here, it is up to the tester or coach to interpret the results and give you feedback on how to improve on your health, movement or performance limitations. After these are optimized, the only part left is the skill of the task at hand, whether it’s a sport, movement or activity; meaning, the fun part! Come in and let’s help you find where your limitation is.

Researchers from the Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia are developing a new type of bandage that can attract bacteria out of wounds and will also speed up the healing process. Wounds normally heal quickly for most people. However, in some cases, the repair process gets stuck so the wounds take much longer to heal. Moreover, people with diabetes, high cholesterol, severe burns, and cancer or AIDS, are more vulnerable to their wounds getting infected. To counter this problem, Australian researchers are creating a nanofiber mesh smart bandage. They used a technique called electrospinning, in which polymer filaments 100 times thinner than a human hair are squeezed out of an electrified nozzle to build up nanofiber meshes. The fiber so formed is then coated in a compound called allylamine, which has been found to quickly draw a range of different bacteria away from a wound. Scientists have already tested this smart bandage on bacterial colonies and engineered skin models in the lab, and they found that it will be able to help draw infections out of human tissue.

The image backdrop. A rhinoceros. The shadow plane. The small man is 4 feet in front of the rhinoceros. The small yellow leaf. The ground has a dirt texture. the ambient light is black. a man faces east. there is a [mr. biggs] wall. there is a large bird. Nature’s first green is gold. Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower. But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief. So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.

Happy fall, friends! I feel like I’ve been waiting not-so-patiently for this day to get here for many months. I mean, summer in Phoenix is not for the faint of heart and we’re finally reaching the light at the end of the roasting hot tunnel. As a way to celebrate, I thought I’d share this sweet Happy Harvest fall print! Now, most people refer to this season as fall or autumn, but I’ve known it as “harvest time” for nearly twenty years now. When I first started dating my husband nearly twenty years ago, it was at the beginning of the fall and I distinctly remember my now mother-in-law being so excited for harvest time. It’s her absolute favorite time of the year and that has stuck with me ever since. Every year we haul out our harvest decorations and this cute little print will be added to the decor this year. The print is sized to fit an 8×10 frame. I recommend printing it on either heavy card stock or sending it to your local photo printer. I sent mine to my local Costco and it printed beautifully.

How to Find the Right Wooden Doors for Your Home? A wooden door can add appeal to your home. No matter whether you choose a classic or vintage style, it remains one of the oldest structures in the human history.

You can customize a wood depending on your budget and the functional requirements. Wood doors add more charm to the overall look of your home. It is a practical choice to opt for wooden doors. You should stay updated about various options to make it a good choice for you. These doors feature a frame which is covered with a layer of wood or veneer on its both sides. Solid timber strips with its edges are also available in the market. The supports in between the face veneers provide the rigidity. Face veneers can also be availed in varnished or painted plywood. Different in-fills make it durable to the hollow core doors. A cardboard honeycomb is the most widely used type of such doors and easily available with wooden door suppliers. You can position a solid timber area at a specific height on one door side. You can use it to put the lock and handle. Hollow core doors come as an affordable option in comparison to the most solid wood doors. They are lighter and easier to install. The only disadvantage is that they cannot absorb sound effectively. Flush doors have the thin sheets of hardwood veneer which is placed on the top of the core of particle board, wood or fiberboard. The veneer helps in protecting the door from stabilizing and warping. You can always enhance the face veneers using decorative panels. Two kinds of cores are used in flush doors. It includes stile and rail core and wood-stave block core. A wood-stave core has vertical wood strips of low-density. A stile and rail core includes wood blocks that are glued inside the rails and stiles. It comes with more reliability as compared to wood stave. Panel doors are more popular nowadays. They feature a series of solid wood panels that are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. These panels are arranged next to each other. Panel doors have grooved frames coupled with thinner panels of pine, oak or beech. The moldings can be installed to ensure the panels remain in its place. The size and number of panels will depend on your requirements including the door and size you need.

Welcome to D.P. Woodtech Pvt. Ltd, one of the India’s leading manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of high-quality wooden furniture for homes and offices.

The scheme has a range of several hundred thousand years. Test your knowledge of food vocabulary! While uranium is water-soluble, thorium and protactinium are not, and so they are selectively precipitated into ocean-floor sediments , from which their ratios are measured. The residence time of 36 Cl in the atmosphere is about 1 week. Omar Hassan: thanks for sharing. Liked it a lot. Quentin Aziz: ime so impressed and turned on.oh to spend a night stretching eachothers asses. SteelJM1: So, did she get white bred? Daquan Bayne: Theres more to this.plz upload the rest! Uranium—lead dating is often performed on the mineral zircon ZrSiO 4 , though it can be used on other materials, such as baddeleyite , as well as monazite see: When an organism dies, it ceases to take in new carbon, and the existing isotope decays with a characteristic half-life years. By allowing the establishment of geological timescales, it provides a significant source of information about the ages of fossils and the deduced rates of evolutionary change. Ask the Editors Ghost Word The story of an imaginary word that managed to sneak past our editors and enter the dictionary. This converts the only stable isotope of iodine I into Xe via neutron capture followed by beta decay of I. The Swedish National Heritage Board. After one half-life has elapsed, one half of the atoms of the nuclide in question will have decayed into a "daughter" nuclide or decay product. This is well-established for most isotopic systems. The use of radiometric dating was first published in by Bertram Boltwood and is now the principal source of information about the absolute age of rocks and other geological features, including the age of the Earth itself, and can be used to date a wide range of natural and man-made materials. Origin and Etymology of radiometric International Scientific Vocabulary. For example, a study of the Amitsoq gneisses from western Greenland used five different radiometric dating methods to examine twelve samples and got agreement to within 30 million years on an age of 3,my. Meteoritics and Planetary Science. The system is dedicated to this special application and will considerably improve radiometric dating and trace element analysis in pure and applied science in an interdisciplinary perspective. To anchor this sequence to a specific time frame, scientists used radiometric dating to measure the absolute ages of samples returned by the Apollo astronauts four decades ago. Radiometric dating (often called radioactive dating) is a way to find out how old something is. The method compares the amount of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products, in samples. Radiometric dating definition, any method of determining the age of earth materials or objects of organic origin based on measurement of either short-lived radioactive elements or the amount of a long-lived radioactive element plus its decay product. Samples are exposed to neutrons in a nuclear reactor. The awkward case of 'his or her'. A method for determining the age of an object based on the concentration of a particular radioactive isotope contained within it. Planetary Sciences , page Measurements should be taken on samples from different parts of the rock body. Thus an igneous or metamorphic rock or melt, which is slowly cooling, does not begin to exhibit measurable radioactive decay until it cools below the closure temperature. This field is known as thermochronology or thermochronometry. After one half-life has elapsed, one half of the atoms of the nuclide in question will have decayed into a "daughter" nuclide or decay product. At a certain temperature, the crystal structure has formed sufficiently to prevent diffusion of isotopes. The trapped charge accumulates over time at a rate determined by the amount of background radiation at the location where the sample was buried. If a material that selectively rejects the daughter nuclide is heated, any daughter nuclides that have been accumulated over time will be lost through diffusion , setting the isotopic "clock" to zero. Accurate radiometric dating generally requires that the parent has a long enough half-life that it will be present in significant amounts at the time of measurement except as described below under "Dating with short-lived extinct radionuclides" , the half-life of the parent is accurately known, and enough of the daughter product is produced to be accurately measured and distinguished from the initial amount of the daughter present in the material.

‘Spat’ (2010), focuses on an argument, taking place on a train platform between an elderly couple. The couple seems completely absorbed in their exchange, their gestures and facial expressions full of the passion of their respective points of view. As the camera approaches, gradually and hesitantly, it becomes increasingly quiet - and eventually apparent that the spat is carried out in sign language. Only by focusing on each other can the argument be articulated. ‘Spat’ forms part of a trilogy of 16mm films – along with ‘Kiss’ and ‘Fight’ - each of which focuses on one gestures that occurs between two people in a public environment. Each of the films is based on a real life observation and is reconstructed within real life, consciously playing on the ambiguity between a documentary mode and a staged scenario.

We have spoken with three people, who are responsible for waste management in three types of stores, from a small grocery store to one of the biggest department stores in the world. We asked them how they tackle waste management and recycling in their businesses on a day-to-day basis. The Hemköp store in Vrigstad is the only one in the area and it has a loyal customer base. Sales amount to approximately 40 million SEK a year. As the store has grown quickly over the years, so has the volume of waste to handle. ICA Supermarket Olskroken is located in central Gothenburg. Sixty people work in the store, which turns over around 175 million SEK a year. Gekås in Ullared is one of Sweden’s most popular places to visit and is thought to be the world’s largest department store of its kind. A department store with 4.8 million customers and sales of 5.3 billion SEK a year certainly generates a lot of waste. Generally speaking, many stores seem to be quite good at compacting and recycling their waste. Awareness is increasing and consumer pressure is making a green environmental profile increasingly important. There is still a lot to do and too many stores continue to rely on a mixed waste containers for all their waste. It is time for a change if these stores are to keep up with the competition and stay attractive to their customers. Contact an expert at Orwak and we will help you improve and streamline your waste management and recycling.

“Image processing technology” will be adopted in day-to-day equipment for our life. We have the equipment in our hand. It can communicate anytime with person all over the world. It provide us important feelings and the impression are conveyed by using the word, the character, and the image. The image processing technology is using in various situations, e.g… to sketch impression and memories, transmitting information, to keep real image, identifying and measuring the object, to support the safety of driving car and tram service, application of telemedicine. The image is composed of many elements like the optical system, the sensor, and the picture processing. And each element will always be evolving. Acutelogic aims to offer the technology that controls each element comprehensively, optimally. Acutelogic always voluntarily assumes the following world and advances development.

Acutelogic always studies hard to offer cutting-edge. Let’s compete each other and develop new business.

Before Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them came out, it seemed like the story’s only real Potter connection would be Newt Scamander’s relation to Luna Lovegood and a Dumbledore name-drop. But surprisingly, new character Credence Barebone emerged as the most relevant connective tissue because his Obscurus plotline illuminated what really happened with Dumbledore’s sister. And if we consider his arc, it’s quite likely that Dumbledore is far from the only character he’ll impact, since he might be related to Severus Snape. Thanks to Credence’s prominence and mysterious “death” that probably isn’t permanent, he’s at the center of rampant fan speculation. One baffling theory posits that he’s Voldemort’s dad. Seeing as how Tom Riddle Sr. was a wealthy British Muggle, that’s about as likely as a year in which the Chudley Cannons win the Quidditch World Cup. However, there is one Potter character where a shared bloodline would not be a stretch: Snape. Recall that, as the “Half-Blood Prince,” Snape was born to a witch and a Muggle. His mother Eileen Prince was born in the 1930s. As Fantastic Beasts is set in 1926, the timing checks out for Credence to be her father. Further, little is known about the supposedly Pure-blood “Prince” family — perhaps because Credence was adopted. It’s possible that we’ll find out Credence’s real last name is Prince. Then again, it’s also likely that he could manufacture “Prince” as an entirely new identity. He’s doubtlessly eager to relinquish his adopted mother’s last name. The two men certainly share a sharp-boned, dour demeanor, and between Harry resembling his father and marrying a redhead and Teddy Lupin growing up as an orphan, J.K. Rowling sure loves her generational parallels.

The UK’s Department for Education announced a £18m funding boost for children’s music education. This money will go towards music education which includes the national network of 123 music education hubs established in 2012. Several months ago, Ofsed criticized a lack of depth and rigour in regards to music education school music in England. Music and arts campaign groups in the nation are welcoming the funding boost. As a promoter for many of our local events I often get asked for advice about musical entertainment for parties, corporate events, weddings and similar occasions. What I do first in such cases is to ask the person for their spending budget, the type of event, the number of guests that will attend and similar things to get a better idea about what musical entertainment could be best for them. As for corporate events, obviously those often have different requirements as, say, a private party. One reason for this is that corporate events sometimes (but not always) can also have a deeper purpose that’s not always evident. For example when a company wants to meet their clients or partners at such a casual event, means that the party’s purpose goes way beyond simple entertainment. Often the want to make an impression and this means that only the best of the best in terms of musical entertainment will do. In such cases where musical entertainment for corporate functions is wanted that’s really different from your “average” corporate party that everyone will quickly forget, I always tell them to book the singing waiters. The singing waiters are surprise music entertainers that can perform at weddings and corporate events. They can attend your event dressed up as waiters, security staff or similar and then start their performance at the right time when no-one suspects it. Also, know that the singing waiters are all professional trained at the best music schools in the United Kingdom. Whether you need very classy corporate musical entertainment or plan to keep the party at a lighter note doesn’t matter. The singing waiters can perform classical operas as well as get the party mood to your party with the latest hits that everyone knows. You can book them for the entire day or for their performance which normally lasts about 90 minutes. My clients that booked the singing waiters in the past were all extremely satisfied and told me that the singing waiters had been the best experience they ever had at any corporate event. This is why I also want to recommend them to you.

For hundreds of years, people have been examining the history of the Cat Queen, a tabby cat who ruled over a remote island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean called Boomshakalaka. Historians have stated that the cat sat on a throne during her ruling and made all gubernatorial decisions for the island. It is speculated that this Cat Queen, or Your Feline Majesty, as the villagers were known to call her, dictated all the animals in the island to serve and obey her. Documents have been found detailing the struggles the island went through under her dictatorship. The island is rumored to have had as many as 1,000 human occupants, none of whom are living today. The feline was reported to be 1.5 feet tall and weighing around 30 pounds. Pictures depict her as being gray and black in color, with long fur. Many people believe that this cat was all-knowing, almost a god of sorts. The Cat Queen has been thought to be a hero among her people, despite her tyrannical rule. Some people believe that the way in which she ran her society, with residents working 12 hours a day with little to no food, was unethical, while others believe that the island residents could benefit from the robust education system the Cat Queen had supposedly implemented during her years of reign. Historians have traced many successes of the island of Boomshakalaka back to the Cat Queen. The economy apparently boomed during her reign. Many were dismayed to find out she had passed in a tragic accident while chasing a ball of yarn off a cliff. While the Cat Queen may have either been a noble ruler or an evil dictator, her legacy will live on.

Are you still eating low carb? There’s a reason why low carb diets make you feel moody and lethargic, leading to low-key training sessions, followed by poor recovery…hardly ideal as I’m sure the idea is to make progress and see results right? Whilst we’re at it, how’s your sleeping when eating low carb? The body has a primary objective, which is to fuel the brain, the rest is secondary. 1 – Carbohydrates are the bodies’ primary source of energy, so if they are present, the body will use them first to provide energy for the brain, daily activity and exercise. 2 – They are vital in the recovery process after exercise, restoring depleted glycogen stores so that you’re ready to go again whenever your next workout is. 3 – The more active you are on a daily basis, in addition to training frequency, the greater your requirement for carbohydrates (think quantity), over someone more sedentary. Eating carbohydrates will not lead to fat gain, overeating on a regular basis will! After a prolonged period of low carb eating, re-introducing carbohydrates may lead you to feel funny at first; this is simply because you’ve restricted them for a period of time, not because you have a problem with them. You’ll possibly weigh more on the scales too, don’t panic! This is down to your muscles holding the carbohydrates, don’t confuse this with fat gain – it isn’t! Whether your goal is muscle gain or fat loss, it’ll take you far longer to reach that goal if you’re not performing at your peak the majority of the time, and carbohydrates are vital for performance. A thought for the week – Suppose you remove or majorly restrict a certain food group, do you have a legitimate reason for doing so, such as a genuine allergy or intolerance?

As the non-traditional student population continues to grow, associations and institutions in the higher education marketplace are developing new strategies to reach out to these learners. The Center for Innovative Professional Development, established by Pine Manor College, is targeted towards professional working adults and is set to begin in the fall. The program caters to adult learners who have already obtained an associate’s degree or have completed at least two years of college course credits. “Our goal from the beginning was to create a program that would address the time and cost of completing your bachelor’s degree,” Charles A. Tweedly, dean of the Center and faculty member at Pine Manor College, said in a press release. The initiative features a “project-based” approach to its educational delivery style that allows students to build practical skills that can be immediately applied to the workforce. In addition to higher education institutions creating unique programs for adult learners, associations closely tied to the industry are also taking leaps to help adults ease the burdens of returning to school. The Learning Counts program is a new initiative launched by the Council for Adult Experiential Learning (CAEL) that targets adults, especially veterans. “Our nation’s veterans need career and educational guidance — to translate military experience into civilian jobs and college-level learning, to navigate postsecondary education and most importantly, to obtain recognition of their military learning for credit,” Pamela Tate, chief executive officer and president of CAEL, said in a press release. CAEL’s new program is intended to provide assistance to adult learners to explore their educational options by finding the best ways to turn previous working experience and skills, including military service experience into credits that allow for faster, easier degree competition. “Adults know their knowledge comes from more than just a course, a classroom or a lecture, and we know it too,” she said.

U.S. Political Forum: Rioting is crime. Protesting is not. Big difference.

When Mount St. Helens erupted in 1980, the world saw nature flexing its mighty muscles, spewing lava and danger in every direction. It wasn’t until after the eruption that man discovered the destructive contents of the volcano could be turned into something beautiful— a glowing green stone known as helenite. The Men’s Volcanic Helenite Ring lets you subdue the mighty power of that volcano and slip it onto your finger, with a full two carats of volcanic material captured and converted into the green stone helenite and set in gold-finished sterling silver. The result is impressive both for the power it contains and for the ingenuity required to get it there. We appreciate that the raw natural strength of helenite may be too much for some men to handle, but those up the challenge can experience the Men’s Volcanic Helenite Ring.

The mission of the Council is to enhance public safety in Carlton County through community collaboration by ensuring offender accountability, providing rehabilitation programs and supporting the rights and needs of victims. The purpose of the coalition is to bringing awareness of substance abuse issues through education, prevention, enforcement, intervention and treatment to build a healthy and safe community. The reason behind this partnership is to address the challenge and opportunity of “Kindergarten surprises” –the numerous children who show up for Kindergarten who aren’t on the district census, haven’t been screened or offered other enrichment opportunities, simply because the district did not know they were in the community. Children living in poverty are more likely to move frequently, not be on school district census rolls, and are less likely to be ready for school. However, WIC services can follow a family wherever they may live, and many families find and stay connected to WIC as a fundamental service even when they move. Through this collaboration, school districts receive contact information for families residing in their district, sent with consent by WIC. Then, school district staff is able make a personal connection with each family and continue to follow up with information on early childhood services and screening.

And so it begins Hello! I hope to find a friend possibly a confidant who will never fail to surprise me! Why contact me I hear you say? Why indeed because I am amiable, habitually view the world through rose coloured spectacles and thrive on spontaneity. Words which can be used to encapsulate me include: open minded, honest, free spirited and interesting! If you fancy breathing a different type of air (ooops my halo is titling!) then I will be genuinely encouraged to hear from you. jag_653 hasn't asked any friends to write a recommendation yet.

Author writes about the Illinois River south of Peoria to the confluence with the Mississippi and how drainage and flood protection altered the natural habitat. "John Thompson provides a historical account of the development process, sectoral conflicts, and outcomes related to major alterations of land and water relationships, as well as habit changes, caused in the valley downstream from Peoria by the large-scale reclamations for agriculture and the post-1900 intrusion of large volumes of wastewater from the Sanitary and Ship Canal of Chicago."--Jacket.

I have a child of a MDI container and I don't want the user to be able to close it, or maximize, or minimize it. But I do want the user to be able to resize it and drag it around and will. So I want to get rid of the close, minimize and maximize buttons but retain the blue strip. Where "this" is some form, you may find yourself with a control lacking a blue strip to move the form around! The solution to this problem is to enter some text in the text field. And that seems to be how it's done. Of course there are other ways override the message handler or using PInvoke (yes I tried Google before working this out for myself) but you really don't need to. You can always add a delegate to listen for the FormClosing event.

Dr. J. R. Albani, Head of the Laboratoire de Biophysique Moléculaire (University of Lille 1, France) wishes to recruit a fellow researcher for a period of two years. Dr Albani, a specialist of fluorescence spectroscopy and of proteins structure and dynamics, has bought recently a fluorescence lifetime instrument (a TCSPC instrument) and is thus developing new programs for studying proteins properties using fluorescence lifetimes measurements. Two subjects are already available, one on myoglobin and the other on α1-acid glycoprotein. The purpose of the two subjects is to understand the relation between the structure and the dynamics of the protein with its function. Myoglobin binds small molecules such as oxygen while α1-acid glycoprotein binds ligands such as progesterone and propranolol. For myoglobin, do protein dynamics play any important role in binding of small ligands such as oxygen? In fact, structural modification observed upon oxygen binding and their importance could be the results of the internal motions of the proteins. Binding of a ligand could simply be dependent on its diffusion within the protein and thus on the structural flexibility of the protein. These dynamics concern the local and global motions of the protein matrix and the dynamics of the porphyrin embedded in the heme pocket. For α1-acid glycoprotein, what would be the role of the protein pocket structure and dynamics in the ligands binding process? How does the binding process affect the structure and the dynamics of α1-acid glycoprotein in different areas far from the binding site? The two proteins contain a pocket where ligand binding occurs which makes possible to use the same techniques and method in the conception of our projects. Dynamics within different areas of the two proteins can be studied by performing oxygen quenching experiments on fluorophores with different fluorescence lifetimes and bound to the pocket. The rationale for this approach is that a short fluorescence lifetime of the fluorophore compared to a longer fluorescence lifetime of another fluorophore would allow probing a dynamic region closer to the pocket. In fact, it is the lifetime of the excited state of the fluorophore, which is the determining factor in revealing the existence of different domains. While the quenching process retains its dynamic character, the details of this quenching in different domains of the protein as investigated by the oxygen migration process are fundamentally different. For example, the 17.8-ns lifetime of the protoporphyrin IX emission is sufficient to permit oxygen situated in any part of the protein at the instant of fluorophore excitation to reach the porphyrin during the persistence of the excited state; therefore the calculated migration rate k for oxygen through the protein represents an average value for all domains of the protein. For zinc protoporphyrin, on the other hand, the emission lifetime is shorter (2.1 ns) and during the persistence of the excited state, only the few oxygen molecules present in the region of the protein directly surrounding the fluorophore are involved in the quenching process. Thus, with zinc protoporphyrin, we are going to probe the diffusion of oxygen molecules within the pocket and of the amino acids of the pocket itself. However, when tin porphyrin will be used to study the oxygen diffusion, one should expect to obtain information on the dynamics inside the pocket itself. Some of the fluorophores that are going to be used are: protoporphyrin IX (mean lifetime = 17.8 ns), TNS (mean lifetime = 9 ns), calcofluor (mean lifetime = 4.5 ns), Zinc porphyrin (mean lifetime = 2.1 ns) and Tin porphyrin (mean lifetime = 1.2 ns). Finally, Performing static fluorescence anisotropy and anisotropy decay experiment with these different fluorophores in the absence of oxygen and in different conditions of temperature and sucrose would allow us study the strength of the fluorophore interaction with the pocket at different distances from the contact point. Thus, parameters such as the activation energy and the rotational correlation time that are characteristics of the structure of the studied protein area can be put into evidence. Therefore, we can recruit two persons so that each of them can work on one protein. 2800 euros net, plus travel expenses, plus other allowances. The person should go back to his country after the two years in France.

The BRAIN Center offers unique, specialized brain-based neurological and musculoskeletal rehabilitation therapies to treat a wide-variety of conditions. We’re very different than other healthcare clinics you may have been to. Therefore, we deliver very different results. Concussions and traumatic brain injuries can be debilitating injuries with lifelong consequences. Most concussions resolve on their own in a short period of time. When symptoms do not fully resolve, those that remain are classified as post-concussion syndrome. These individuals may experience severe headaches, dizziness, light-headedness and vertigo, crippling chronic fatigue, painful light and sound sensitivity, and incapacitating brain fog. They may suffer from memory loss, and even struggle to find the words to communicate. Multi-tasking becomes impossible, and even the completion of a simple task may become challenging. Often these symptoms never resolve, despite extensive therapy from numerous physicians and therapists. While there are many ways the brain may be damaged, often many of the symptoms seen in post-concussion syndrome and traumatic brain injuries derive from a failure of integration within the brain. The primary function of your brain is to make sense of where you are in the environment, so that you can adapt to the world appropriately. Your brain does this with visual, vestibular (inner ear), and proprioceptive (muscle and joint) pathways. It needs to use all of these pathways simultaneously to create a coherent unconscious picture of where the world is, and where you are in relation to gravity and the environment. These pathways include long, thin, and fragile fibers that project from all over the brain down into the brainstem. This is unfortunately the area that takes the most torque and stress from the multivectorial shearing forces that develop with rapid acceleration and rotation of the head. This disrupts these pathways and damages their integration. They may then have difficulty knowing where their body is in relation to the world, and the brain must struggle to resolve the mismatch between the senses. This can be profoundly fatiguing, as it robs resources from cognitive pathways, and provokes the majority of post-concussive symptoms. The BRAIN Center works to find solutions to these complex neurological problems using cutting-edge diagnostics and examination procedures to find the root of your dysfunction. We utilize various neurodiagnostic technologies to quantify all of the relevant aspects of your visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems. More importantly, we analyze how they work together, in order to determine what circumstances provoke their failure and devise strategies to make them work in unison again. Lastly, we determine the precise fatigue thresholds of these pathways, and create programs to rebuild your functional endurance. Vertigo is a sensation that can make you feel as though you are spinning, tilting, swaying back and forth, being pulled in one or several directions, or generally unstable. Dizziness is a sensation of light-headedness that can make one feel as if they might faint and lose consciousness. Both these conditions may cause nausea, headaches, heart palpitations, ringing in your ears, inability to hold your eyes still, vomiting, and a feeling of being unable to sit up or stand without passing out. Together they can range from a mild annoyance to a severely debilitating problem. Vertigo is often caused by a problem with the vestibular system. This includes the inner ear and vestibular nerves. The problem can also involve any of the brainstem, cerebellar, and brain regions that receive inner ear input. Sometimes the mechanism might even be visually-induced. When the input from the vestibular system does not match the input from the eyes or the muscles, this sensory mismatch creates the inappropriate perception of motion. Orthostatic hypotension is a form of dizziness that develops when people shift their position towards being more vertical. People often feel like they are about to pass out during sit-to-stand transitions. This can involve poor coordination between the vestibular system and the brainstem mechanisms that regulate blood flow to the brain. Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a more severe orthostatic issue, wherein people lose the ability to properly regulate heart rate appropriately. This is a common consequence of traumatic brain injuries, but can also be the result of viral infections, mold exposure, chemical sensitivities, and other types of autoimmune conditions. Traumatic Brain Injuries frequently result in vertigo and dizziness. Vertigo is one of the most common symptoms of an injured brain. Vertigo can also be the result of neck injuries. The forces that create TBI also commonly damage the vestibular system and the neck muscles and joints. This can create severe sensory mismatches. This can affect some or all of these systems simultaneously. Mal De Debarquement Syndrome is a type of vertigo that creates a rocking sensation, as if the individual is constantly on a boat. This is the result of a mismatch between the two types of vestibular receptors, the Otoliths and the Vestibular Canals, along with dysfunction in the brain and brainstem systems that make these receptors work together. Vertigo can also be the result of migraine headaches, or more insidious brain problems such as tumor or stroke. In some cases, dizziness and vertigo can be a consequence of prescription medications and their interactions, or even from certain dietary supplements. At The BRAIN Center our goal is to rehabilitate the brain and receptor mechanisms that may be creating the mismatch, and make them integrate properly with other systems. In other cases, our goal is to teach the brain to adapt to the impaired reflexes, and teach it to rely on other mechanisms to maintain balance and decrease the vertigo sensations. Treatment starts with a comprehensive neurological examination, followed by cutting-edge neurodiagnostic testing. We use several advanced technologies to map and graph the function of every system involved in your vertigo, including important visual reflexes, vestibular function, and the feedback from your muscles and joints. We assess how these systems integrate in several different balance conditions. This allows us to precisely identify and quantify which systems are creating the mismatch, how they integrate, and the exact circumstances under which their integration fails. We then create a neurorehabilitation program that is unique to your condition, and specific to your individual pattern of dysfunction and fatigability. At The BRAIN Center, we perform comprehensive evaluations which include advanced technology to assess the functionality of different areas of the brain and how each area of the brain communicates with one another. As a consequence of the evaluation, a customized management plan is created with the goal of increasing the strength and efficiency of specific connections in the brain which may be underdeveloped and/or not working optimally. Neurodegenerative disease is an umbrella term for a range of conditions which primarily affect the neurons in the human brain and spinal cord. Some examples of neurodegenerative conditions are Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, Parkinson’s disease and other Parkinson’s related disorders, prion disease and other neuro-infectious disorders, motor neuron diseases, Huntington disease, spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), and spinal muscular atrophy. Currently, many neurodegenerative disorders are incurable and debilitating conditions that continue to progress over time. At The BRAIN Center, we assess the functionality of different areas of the brain. This allows us to understand which areas of the brain are still viable and functioning versus other areas which may have been damaged. A customized management plan is then implemented to help strengthen the available brain circuits with the hope of increasing function and slowing progression. Commonly, we co-manage patients with their medical providers, and we focus on improving functions such as balance/fall prevention, walking/gait, coordination, memory, speech, dizziness, visual problems, digestion, fatigue, pain and a variety of movement disorders. When conventional pain management interventions fail, patients are often left without direction where to turn next. While in some cases these offer relief, there are still a large number of pain syndromes that persist without relief. So, where do you turn if you’re one of the many individuals with chronic pain syndromes which have not responded to conventional pain management therapy? Regardless of the location or cause of chronic pain, many patients will develop altered patterns of brain activity, which may result in occupational disabilities, insomnia, cognitive deficits, depression, anxiety, and ultimately a diminished quality of life. The BRAIN Center utilizes a combination of neuroscience, physical modalities, biotechnology and pain management approaches to effectively treat a wide range of common pain conditions. By treating the body and brain simultaneously, clients often experience unusually rapid reductions in pain and improvements in function, even after a long-history of chronic pain and multiple, prior surgeries. Migraines can seem complicated, but they often can be very simple. There is only one main cause for migraines: Neurological Dysfunction. However, there are 3 main triggers: Dietary, Musculoskeletal and/or Hormonal. To treat migraines effectively, you need to address both the cause and all 3 triggers at the same time. Hormonal: The hormonal correlation with migraine is well known, but how to address hormones is still an ongoing area of debate. Many of our patients are prescribed birth control or hormone replacement therapies (HRT) which can be helpful in some cases. Unfortunately, there is also research concerning the long-term effects of these treatments which may lead to other health complications. Many female patients report flares in symptoms around the beginning of their cycle, which is why estrogen is frequently prescribed. However, we often find low estrogen to be associated with a bigger problem. Often migraine patients have an increased response to stress. This causes resources required for estrogen production to instead be converted to stress hormones. Therefore, The BRAIN Center utilizes a ‘top down’ approach when assessing hormones by performing comprehensive hormonal panels to identify the underlying cause. Dietary: Healthy diet and removal of common ‘triggers’ is essential for migraine treatment. However, many patients often report having tried every type of dietary modification without results. It’s important to understand that nutritional changes are often just a piece of the puzzle. For some, this may produce profound outcomes. For others, there are additional underlying factors which must be addressed. So, if you’re one of the many migraine sufferers who have not responded to dietary modification there is still hope. Musculoskeletal: Increased musculoskeletal stress on the body will make a person more likely to experience migraine. Therefore, research shows positive outcomes for migraine with almost any type of manual therapy. An important consideration, however, is that different types of manual therapy can have a very different impact of the neurological structures central to the onset your migraines. No two patients are the same, therefore, treatment recommendations must be individually tailored. This is why a thorough functional examination is important to understanding which treatment interventions will be most beneficial. Neurological: Individuals with migraine have a known genetic predisposition. It has been outlined that migraineurs have an altered brain state different from individuals who do not experience migraine, even when they are not having symptoms. Groups of cells in the brain are more predisposed to fatigue or fail in these circumstances, leading to various symptoms associated with migraine. For example, if your genetic predisposition is in the area associated with sight, you’ll have visual symptoms. If this is an area associated with balance, you can experience dizziness. The underlying pathology is basically the same, however it impacts different parts of the brain and brainstem. To fix migraines it's essential to identify the areas of the brain that are functionally not as healthy as others and stimulate that part of the brain at an appropriate level. Too much stimulation can actually lead to a migraine, and too little won’t make much of an impact. This is why The BRAIN Center uses a graduated approach in which some people will be given a great amount of stimulation right away, and some get very little. The key is to continually strengthen these parts of the brain. The other aspect of the brain has to do with injury and general neurological dysfunction. It is very common, for example, to see someone who gets in a car accident or has had a concussion to have a noticeable increase in migraines. It’s not that these injuries caused migraine, but the stress on the brain and nervous system makes them more likely to have migraine. This can also happen with vestibular imbalances, difficulty with eye or head movements, or difficulty with motion. Improving these aspects will help move you down the spectrum of migraine to have less and less.
