Allostasis – the body’s ability to return to a neutral state (after stress). Citation: McEwen, 2017. Trauma negatively affects allostasis.
We look at three Universal Trauma Precautions – to avoid retraumatising those to seek/provide assistance, to proactively engage survivors in treatment planning, and to attend to impact on providers and organizations.
The current thinking, we hear, is that detailed disclosure is not the goal. The approach is to begging with broad enquirer, assess the risk, and then intervene appropriately. A trauma informed approach asks (and discusses with the patient) what can be done, how it’s going to be done, and why it’s necessary.
The provider (of trauma care) also has a perspective. Providers can fear making bad decisions or being overwhelmed, can feel helpless, can be frustrated with the survivor for not aligning their behaviors to the provider’s motivation, and the risk of providing interventions that may increase vulnerability (retriggering, vicarious trauma, burnout). If these things are not considered, the risk is that the survivor will simply walk away.
Resilience is not how you endure, it’s how you recover. Music has a role to play – individually, interpersonally, and collectively.

Every spring, the bright yellow daffodil takes on a worthy opponent. Cancer. The flower has served as the symbol of cancer awareness since the 1950s. The Canadian Cancer Society incorporated the yellow flower into their logo in 2000.
Money raised during daffodil month helps people living with cancer and their families.
“My family lost its matriarch to cancer. Our Mother Joan was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in May 2004. The diagnosis came through a routine checkup. With great determination and strong faith, she fought hard for five years and gave us her best, unfortunately like many, she lost her battle,” explains Cathy Rocca. “The tragedy in all of this is that we are not unique, there are so many families who have gone through, or are going through something similar. We remember bringing the sweet simple pleasures of life alive and creating a light in our Mom that sometimes seemed dim,” continues Tanya Rocca.
Even the simple act of purchasing a daffodil pin or a small bunch of flowers brings hope to those suffering. “The Canadian Cancer Society has so many resources available to you as a patient and as a family member or friend. Life-changing support, digestible information online and by phone and they are helping fund the research that saves lives,” Cathy says, “I truly hope that you find a moment to give to this worthy cause.” The Rocca Sisters Team know that the greater our success, the greater our ability and responsibility to make positive change in our world.

Thanksgiving is a time of year where people reconcile their differences and come together to give thanks. While the modern Thanksgiving is a time to come together, its past suggests something much darker. The origins of the first Thanksgiving reek of imperialism and deceit from the early American colonizers.
These questions arise: Are modern people ignorant for celebrating Thanksgiving? Do we celebrate a holiday promoting the imperialism practiced by our ancestors, or has the holiday evolved and taken on a new meaning?
The 17th century was a dark time for Native Americans. According to History.com, the first Thanksgiving was celebrated between the Wampanoag tribe and colonizing Europeans at the Plymouth colony. The story that is told about the event always romanticizes the harmony between groups. The story of the First Thanksgiving is taught as if it were the truth. Maya Salem’s New York Times article “Most Everything You Learned About Thanksgiving is Wrong,” there is not even evidence that the Wampanoag people were even invited to the first Thanksgiving Feast. However, the settlers only had two things on their mind, land and Christianity. Nothing could interfere with the imperialist wrath of the Europeans. Despite their previous relationship, the Wampanoag and their land soon became a target of the Europeans during the King Philip's War, according to History.com.
Fast forward a few centuries and Thanksgiving is founded. According to an article by David Jackson, journalist for USA Today, after many successful Union victories during the Civil War, President Lincoln declared a new national holiday, Thanksgiving, which was celebrated November 26, 1863, and henceforth, every fourth Thursday of November. Abraham Lincoln intended this holiday to “heal the wounds of the nation.” Lincoln wanted to establish this holiday in order to put aside the strife of the nation, for us all to come together in harmony and make amends.
While the history of the First Thanksgiving is rooted in bloodshed and imperialism, it still represents the need for cooperation and acceptance. We cannot bury the history of our ancestors, but we can certainly correct the mistakes that they have made. So, enjoy your turkey and celebrate as a family, but know that the innocent Thanksgiving history you learned as a child is far from the truth.

In the late 1800s a group of Finnish miners at Nanaimo were growing frustrated with their working conditions, and formed a temperance society, which was a socio-political group that allowed them the freedom to discuss their frustrations and aspirations in Canada.
The miners decided that they aspired to a better life, with more freedom and equality, and toward that end they wrote to Matti Kurikka, a Finnish political philosopher, playwright, writer, and organizer, asking him to come to Vancouver Island. Kurikka arrived and the Finns established the Kalevan Kansan Colonization Company, and pre-empted land for the colony on Malcolm Island, naming their town Sointula, meaning "place of harmony." By the spring of 1903 the population of the colony was 238.

If prostate cancer is found at an early stage and is growing slowly, then treating the cancer at this stage may cause more harm than the disease itself. This is because prostate cancer treatments can cause side effects, such as not being able to maintain an erection and leaking urine.
In this case a man may want to discuss with his doctor the option of postponing treatment. If he chooses to postpone treatment, the cancer will be carefully monitored for any signs that is getting worse. If there are any signs that the cancer is starting to get worse, or he changes his mind at any stage, there is the option of getting the cancer treated.
Watchful waiting is often used for men who are older or men who have other health problems. Regular prostate checks will be used to see whether the cancer gets worse.
Another prostate biopsy within 6-12 months, then a biopsy at least every 2-5 years.
Men on active surveillance are more likely to die from another cause than from their prostate cancer, but some men on active surveillance will still develop more aggressive disease and may require curative treatment. Some men find active surveillance psychologically stressful and some men decide to exit the programme in favour of curative treatment or watchful waiting.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian Government has committed to reducing the country’s CO2 emissions by 26 percent against a business-as-usual trajectory in 2020. This ambitious aim, depicting the largest absolute reduction commitment by any developing country, is supported by Norway with up to 1 billion US dollars within the framework of the countries’ partnership on REDD (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation). The money will be spent on completing a national REDD+ strategy for Indonesia. It will be distributed over a seven or eight years period with most of the funds being tied to verified emissions reductions by Indonesia (Royal Norwegian Embassy in Jakarta, 2009).
Against this background one of the major challenges is to control that the released budget to cut CO2 emissions is used as it has been planned. This is where Green Budgeting, a tool that facilitates Environmental Policy Integration (EPI), can be applied to solve the problem. Generally, Green Budgeting can be understood as a “ […] process whereby the three dimensions of sustainable development [economic growth, ecological balance and social progress] are fully integrated in one single policy/ [budget] document.” Further, a Green Budget has the function to consistently and comprehensively analyse government expenditures and revenues to bring about true sustainable development. Prominence is given to non-economic targets such as the percentage of carbon emissions that the government expects to reduce in a given year (Inter-Parliamentary Union [IPU], 2006). Green Budgeting has its roots in the model of a Green Economy and the concept of sustainable development. The first impetuses for Green Budgeting posed the Brundtland Report and Agenda 21 that stress the need to `ensure the coherence of sectoral, economic, social and environmental policies, plans and policy instruments, including fiscal measures and the budget´ [UN 1992: Chapter. 8,4 (e)]. Green budgeting can be also seen as being embedded in the new economic development model of a Green Economy, which is opposed to the current `black´ economy model that relies on fossil fuels. The Green Economy is based on the theory of ecological economics that focuses on the interdependence of human economies and natural ecosystem and the adverse impact of human economic activities on climate change (United Nations Environment Program [UNEP], 2008).

The inflatable test load is a device designed for the testing of lifting and handling installations, including traversers, cranes, gantries or shipyard derricks.
After filling with water, the inflatable test load can reach a maximum weight of 35 tonnes. The range of available capacities allows the composition of a load which is appropriate to the load capacity required for test purposes, by combination in a “cluster”. By this arrangement, loads of up to several hundred tonnes can be achieved.

As the scope of my research expands (with the discovery of each new family surname), I become increasingly curious about the origins of families. While most of my ancestors converged in New Lebanon/South Mills (Camden County), they came from a number of surrounding counties. In order to establish a baseline (for myself and any others researching the same area) I decided to create a list of “all other free persons” in the 1790 United States Federal Census for Camden, Pasquotank, and Currituck counties.
To be clear, this list is not intended to suggest that people of the same surname are from the same family. It is merely a collection of individuals of potential interest. Due to restrictive marriage laws, free people of color formed many endogamous communities and many families became thoroughly interrelated. While this list is a starting point, many free people of color were not recorded in the census and many were recorded under a different race as soon as the following census year (leading to significant confusion among genealogists trying to trace individuals).
Note: I transcribed this list from record images and suspect there are a number of misspellings.

Boris Mikhailovich Kustodiev was born in 1878 in the family of the Astrakhan gymnasium teacher. At the age of fifteen, the artist began to actively master the mystery of drawing by the Russian painter Pavel Vlasov.
Then Boris entered the Academy of Arts, located in the city on the Neva – St. Petersburg. It also became a popular portraitist, participated in the creation of a number of masterpieces, together with other artists and worked with a number of publications.
In 1920, Boris Kustodiev created his work “The Model”. Call it a complete picture is quite difficult. Rather, this work is a sketch. It is made on paper, a simple graphite pencil. It has an average size of 35.5 by 22 centimeters. At the moment, the work is kept by a private collector, whose name is not known for certain.
At the heart of the plot – the image of a young lush lady. She is naked and is busy turning her hair back by tilting her pretty head slightly. The master pays special attention to the elaboration of the forms of women. Even the small details of the hands and feet, features of the body and facial features are not left unattended by Kustodiev. Light understatement remains only when drawing hair and one hand.
The position of the girl is relaxed, there is no tension in it. One knee is bent for greater stability. The face expresses calm and joy. Lips touched unobtrusive smile. The picture is full of real femininity. The artist with great trepidation depicted the image of Russian beauty, languid and calm.

Update (August 7): Paul Iniguez and staff of the Phoenix National Weather Service office did a detailed analysis on the July 24, 2018 rain event at Imperial, and concluded that rain did not occur in Imperial on July 24, 2018; a faulty present weather sensor was responsible for the erroneous report of rain. The present weather sensor is what measures the presence of rain, when only a trace of rain is reported, and it is possible for this sensor to get fooled. Examination of the 1-minute resolution data (not available in real-time) showed that the sensor was erroneously measuring snow. In addition, there was not significant cloud cover apparent on satellite imagery during the first hour that rain was reported at Imperial, though clouds did move in after that. In light of this analysis, the world-record hottest rainfall event at Imperial, California has been expunged from the official climate record, and the world record for hottest rainfall remains the August 13, 2012 event in Needles, California, when a trace of rain fell at 115°F. Note that I did interview several people in Imperial about the July 24 rain event, and one person did report experiencing rain that day. Also, I got an email from Michael Henshaw, who reported: "I work in Blythe, California, North of Imperial. I have texts from myself to my coworkers from July 24th talking about my vehicle temperature indicator showing 121 while it was raining. It is possible that the indicator was off a bit, and if there is official temperature recordings in the area that showed 119, I saw and felt the rain." Thus, though no official measurement of rain occurred that day, it appears that rain indeed fell at a very high temperature in the desert regions of Southern California on July 24.

To put it mildly, you might find this language a little … harsh. Today many Jews work on Shabbat, and do not die. How then can we understand or relate to this verse?
Perhaps the Israelites themselves executed transgressors thousands of years ago (see Ex. 35:2), or fines were assessed equivalent to a human life (as in the Talmud, Shabbat 70a). Personally, I don’t want to live in a community where the death penalty looms over our heads to enforce religious observances. As for paying a fine, I struggle (despite what I was taught as an economics major) with the very concept that we can assign a monetary equivalent for the value of a human life.
So can this commandment have a hold on us today? How?
Shabbat is a precious gift – a gift from God, directly to each and every one of us. We need Shabbat. Even God needed to take a day of rest after six days of creation! When we ignore the Shabbat, we not only spurn this precious gift, but we also hurt ourselves. Shabbat is a time for refreshing our souls, pausing from our creative acts during the week and enjoying life. It is a time devoted to God, to our loved ones, to our innermost selves. Each week that we let pass without a Shabbat, without this holy time devoted to what matters most in life, a little piece of us dies.
Thankfully, it is never too late. If we want to restore what we have lost, the gates are always open. So don’t let this Shabbat get away, or the next one. After all, aren’t you worth it?

Wildlife habitat is increasingly engulfed by suburban sprawl, and the white-tailed deer has not only adapted but thrives in our altered landscapes. Short-cropped lawns and tasty flowers in suburban backyards provide exactly the kind of food that deer prefer.
People often assume there are "too many deer" when they experience a conflict, yet the reality is that deer problems may be totally unrelated to their numbers. For instance, even if there is only one deer in a community, she will still find her way to any and all tulip gardens, because deer love tulips.
Deer conflicts are not necessarily a function of their numbers, but rather a result of the backyard deer buffets we've unknowingly created for them.
All too often, the response to deer in places they are not wanted is to take lethal action to remove them. Killing deer as a "solution" to conflicts with them is, at best, a short-term, inhumane, and ineffective approach. The most promising way forward for most homeowners is a combination of techniques to modify landscapes so that deer will be less attracted to them. For communities with deer conflicts, the best approach is to institute a comprehensive plan addressing each of the root causes of conflict.

Theory of Work Adjustment What is Psychology?
Theories of emotion This box: view • talk • edit Emotional adjustment (also referred to as personal adjustment or psychological adjustment ) is the maintenance of emotional equilibrium in the face of internal and external stressors.
The Theory of Work Adjustment (TWA) describes the relationship of the individual to his or her work environment. TWA was developed as the guiding framework for a program of research in vocational psychology, and this is the area of its greatest application today.

On best of those leisure the ideas employing the basics (e. g. Emission Spectroscopy, Laser triggered Fluorescence, Raman Spectroscopy). This e-book comprises the fundamental themes linked to optical spectroscopic options.
This e-book is the made from decades' event instructing behavioral technological know-how in a fashion that demonstrates its relevance to scientific drugs. we've got been guided by way of the reactions and reviews of many first-year clinical scholars. the result's a conceptual framework assorted from those who we and others had attempted sooner than.
13) Notice that the term on the right hand side of the proportionality sign has the same form as our prior (up to a normalising constant). 3 Multiple Ways to Specify a Beta Prior At this stage we’ve discussed the fact that we want to use a beta distribution in order to specify our prior beliefs about the fairness of the coin. However, we only have two parameters to play with, namely α and β. How do these two parameters correspond to our more intuitive sense of "likely fairness" and "uncertainty in fairness"?
3: The prior and posterior belief distributions about the fairness θ. 05. 3 states that approximately 30% of the time, the coin will come up heads, while 70% of the time it will come up tails. d. 05 means that while we are more certain in this estimate than before, we are still somewhat uncertain about this 30% value. d. would reduce even further as α and β continued to increase, representing our continued increase in certainty as more trials are carried out. Note in particular that we can use a posterior beta distribution as a prior distribution in a new Bayesian updating procedure.
Here, I refers to the identity matrix, which is necessary because the distribution is multivariate. This is different to how the frequentist approach is usually outlined. In the frequentist setting above there is no mention of probability distributions for anything other than the measurement error. In the Bayesian formulation the entire problem is recast such that the yi values are samples from a normal distribution. ". What do we get out of this reformulation? There are two main reasons for doing so: • Prior Distributions: If we have any prior knowledge about the parameters β then we can choose prior distributions that reflect this.

Kate Larson, an archaeologist working at the Science Museum, is excavating a 2000-year-old temple in Israel. The Omrit dig site was once part of the Roman Empire, and Larson and the rest of the excavation team hope to gain a better understanding of what the ancient Roman world was like.
While taking an archaeology class at Macalester College on a whim, Larson fell in love with the subject. She worked at the Omrit dig site-which is coordinated and partially sponsored by the college-two years ago as an undergraduate student; this year, Larson is back as a senior staff member. She says, "Holding a piece of pottery that hasn't been touched for two thousand years just fills me with awe. I like to imagine what that pot might have seen, what its user's life was like."
What does Omrit look like?
Macalester College professor J. Andrew Overman and his crew have exclusive rights to work at the Omrit site from the Israeli Antiquities Authority (IAA), which regulates all archaeological activity in Israel.
Since beginning work at Omrit in 2000, the team has learned that the temple is part of a larger marketplace complex, and was built in several stages. They still haven't figured out an exact date of construction, or whom the temple was dedicated to. Larson says, "We have a lot of circumstantial evidence that it was commissioned and built for Augustus, the first Roman emperor. But there's no 'smoking gun.'"
Exploring the ancient history of the site is only part of the adventure of living and working in modern-day Israel. The finds from the site are stored in an old bomb shelter, and part of the site can't be studied due to landmines in the area. "In antiquity, just like modern times, this was a hotly contested area that changed hands frequently. It's a crossroads of trade and the water source for much of Israel. Fortunately for us, the area is pretty quiet and safe right now."

Although there have been a few cases of cinemas opening in buildings which were originally built as Turkish baths, Wimbledon Theatre seems to have been the only theatre which had its own Turkish bath in the basement.
The theatre was designed by Cecil Masey and Roy Young, with Frank J Jones. It was owned by J B Mulholland, under whose management it opened on 26 December 1910 with a pantomime, Jack and Jill. In addition to the theatre and Turkish baths, the building also included shops, an assembly hall, and two floors of offices.
Very little appears to have been written about the Turkish baths when the theatre was opened. However, as the only entrance was through one of several doorways leading off a lobby within the theatre building, it is safe to assume that it was intended mainly for the benefit of the actors and theatre staff, perhaps to relax the former and de-stress the latter. Furthermore, the absence of a women's toilet indicates that it was intended for use only by the male actors and theatre staff.
Although this lobby had an entrance from the street—the door to the left of the Turkish bath entrance led upstairs to the assembly hall, and that to the right was a fire exit from the theatre Stalls—it is not clear whether the baths were ever open to members of the public. No mention is to be found in the local directories of the period; no mention has been found in newspaper advertisements for the theatre; neither did there seem to be any advertisements for the Turkish bath itself.
One local paper, describing the building prior to its opening, did note the existence of the Turkish bath but made no mention of who it was for. What did interest them was the use of the Turkish bath to augment the heating of the theatre.
There are Turkish baths on part of the site occupied by the theatre and a series of ducts from the hot rooms have been arranged connecting with gratings in the floors and walls of the theatre, so that in the event of the climate playing one of their sudden pranks with which it afflicts us, the temperature can be raised from 40 to 60 degrees in 15 minutes.
Contemporary theatregoers must have hoped that the Turkish bath was empty of sweating bathers while the theatre temperature was being raised in this novel manner.
The Theatre closed in 1938, and the Turkish bath remained closed when the theatre re-opened after the war. It is, happily, still open and continues to provide a full programme of shows and live entertainment.

This is an early political broadcast by cinema owner Harry Kemp, a candidate for office on Saltcoats Burgh Council, Ayrshire. It was shown in his cinema in the run up to the election. Kemp was elected to Saltcoats Burgh Council on 8th November 1922.
What other methods (other than film/television) do candidates use when canvassing for votes?
We only see Harry Kemp as a caricature. Why do you think there is no live image of him?
Why do you think Harry Kemp used film to encourage people to vote for him? Do you think this was appropriate and would it be allowed today?
Do you think Harry Kemp won the local council election?
There is a lot of degradation in this film, what do you think has caused it and what work do you think has been done to preserve old film?
Look at a selection of party political broadcasts (www.youtube.com) and discuss how and why they have changed?
Run a class election which may take place in a class or across a whole school. Devise your manifesto. Build a campaign team. Create all the publicity material you would need.

The final full view of Saturn from Cassini, on September 13, 2017. Image via NASA/JPL-Caltech/SSI.
September 15, 2017. On this date, the Cassini spacecraft plunged into the planet Saturn, becoming part of the planet it had been orbiting since 2004.
The discoveries and new insights provided by the 13-year Cassini-Huygens mission at Saturn are far too numerous to recount here. But we can say that Cassini – fourth earthly space probe ever to visit Saturn and first to enter its orbit – revolutionized the way we on Earth think about Saturn and its moons and rings. It also dramatically altered the way we perceive nature generally in the great outer neighborhood of our solar system, as spectacular image after image just kept coming, all the way to the mission’s final days.
Movie sequence of images from the last dedicated observation of Saturn’s moon Enceladus – and its water plume, which rains onto Saturn itself – by Cassini on August 28, 2017. Read more about this image via ESA.

Osteoarthritis is not a single disease but rather the end result of a variety of disorders leading to the structural or functional failure of one or more of your joints. Osteoarthritis involves the entire joint including the nearby muscles, underlying bone, ligaments, joint lining (synovium), and the joint cover (capsule).
Pain: Aching pain, stiffness, or difficulty moving the joint may develop in 1 or more joints.
Fingers: Bone enlargements in the fingertips (first joint) are common. These are called Heberden nodes. They are usually not painful. Sometimes they can develop suddenly and are painful, swollen, and red. This is known as nodal osteoarthritis and occurs in women older than 45 years.
Hip: The hips are major weight-bearing joints. Involvement of the hips may be seen more in men. Farmers, construction workers, and firefighters have been found to have an increased incidence of hip osteoarthritis.
Knees: The knees are also major weight-bearing joints. Repetitive squatting and kneeling may promote osteoarthritis.
Spine: Osteoarthritis of the spine can cause bone spurs or osteophytes, which can pinch or crowd nerves and cause pain and potentially weakness in the arms or legs.
In osteoarthritis the homeopathy remedies can reduce the pain, stiffness, swelling within a very short period. the cartilage, ligament and tendons damage can be improved in long term homeopathy treatment. Thousands of OA patients are getting remarkable result with our arthritis treatment packages.
In our Multicare homeopathy online treatment center peoples suffering from Osteoarthritis have been benefitted using our advanced homeopathic treatment packages. We apply the most scientific and research based homeopathy treatment package that gives a long standing cure to the ailment.

Smuts, Periconia, Myxomycetes: Smuts and Myxomycetes are parasitic plant pathogens and can produce type I fungal hypersensitivity reactions. There are occasions where Periconia have been implicated in mycotic keratitis, but this is a rare event. All three are typically grouped together due to their association with plants, the outdoors and because they share similar microscopic morphology.

Common Indoor Mold in FL.
- Common mold color, although typically associated with types of toxic mold.
Stachybotrys - This type of mold is one of the most toxic molds, and is usually the one referenced as "Black Mold".
Alternaria - Classified as a toxic producing mold, with very little understood about this particular type of mold and it's positive and negative benefits.
Ascospores - Another type of mold that can be allergenic, pathogenic, toxigenic, as well as can serve several positive major medical purposes and uses.
Basidiospores - One of the most serious toxic molds, causes a wide range of minor to major health issues.
Cladosporium - Classified as a true toxic mold, Cladosporium releases extremely toxic mycotoxins that will cause severe and chronic health complications for anyone whom comes in contact.
Curvularia - Another extremely toxic mold, curvularia will also cause extreme sickness and has been confirmed as the cause of death in several rare cases.
Nigrospora - This type of mold is considered to allergenic and partially pathogenic. Also has positive medical characteristics.
Smuts - Smuts are one of many types of "by-products"of mold, usually smuts, mushrooms, caps, cups, and other fungal structures develop after a mold colony begins to thrive and flourish.
Myxomycetes - Often referred to as slime mold or dog vomit mold, this division of mold is the potentially one of the most interesting types of mold and least harmful to humans to date.

Cater to the needs of ALL students! Teach your class, but also every individual student, as well.
Be as involved in the iep process as possible. Music Education is most likely to appear as an example of mainstreaming.
DON'T HIDE IN THE CHORAL/MUSIC ROOM!!!! Make an effort to get to know your colleagues, including general and special education teachers, guidance counselors, paraprofessionals, teacher aides, school psychologists, and nurses. Find out as much as possible about students with special needs so that instruction can be appropriate and exciting for classes.
Be sensitive to cultural diversity. While language barriers and cultural differences are not listed as special education categories, multiculturalism engulfs a large blanket of areas including race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, physical abilities, and more. PICK APPROPRIATE LITERATURE FOR STUDENTS INCLUDING PIECES FROM OTHER CULTURES!!!
Create classroom procedures to avoid conflict, disruption, and general disturbance in the music classroom.
Do not resist learning once you have received your degree. Many times teachers will cling to what is familiar to them and stubbornly deny new theories, practices, or laws. Go to continuing education workshops, listen to speakers, and do your own research! NEVER STOP LEARNING!
Create a classroom that promotes creativity, learning, musicality, and a strong level of comfort and support.
Have an open door policy! Be willing to assist your students in times of need.

Ultrasonic treatment of metal melts can substantially improve the properties of castings, in particular, their microstructure and mechanical properties. Recently, new refinements to the technique using proprietary ultrasound technology provide significant benefits to industrial continuous casting, offering an alternative to argon degassing, replacement of standard master alloy additives, and substantial improvements to microstructure. Here we will look at the mechanisms that underlie ultrasonic liquid metal interactions, in particular how they apply to ultrasonic degassing and grain refinement. Finally, we will look briefly at our ultrasonic technology as applied to industrial continuous casting.
Applied to liquids including water and liquid metals, ultrasonic energy can induce cavitation: the formation of microbubbles of vapour caused by rapid energy changes. Such bubbles, or voids, occur when the pressure is reduced to below the saturated vapour pressure of the liquid phase, then rapidly collapse or implode under high pressure, producing a shock wave and dissipating considerable energy. Cavitation is enhanced when nucleating centres are present; typically these are microbubbles and impurities. When casting aluminium and its alloys, the presence of hydrogen, usually in its atomic form, can lead to porosity problems in the final product. To overcome this, a degassing process is often employed. In one approach, an inert gas such as argon is injected into the melt forming bubbles into which hydrogen diffuses forming molecular hydrogen.
The gas bubbled rise to the surface and are expelled. An alternative approach involves subjecting the melt to reduced pressure, but both processes have environmental and economic drawbacks.
During ultrasonic degassing, the microbubbles that form during the low-pressure cycle provide nuclei for the formation of hydrogen bubbles. Essentially, hydrogen diffuses to these bubbles. Assisted by ultrasonically induced acoustic flow and streaming, the hydrogen bubbles rise to the melt surface and are expelled.
This process has many advantages over the traditional methods, including reduced environmental cost and improved efficiency. Effectively ultrasonic degassing reduces the porosity of the cast increasing both strength and ductility.
Improved metal homogenization, grain refinement and mixing of new alloys.
Excellent results after vibrating ‘in sump’ of a vertical Wagstaff DC caster.
Excellent results on a Bruno Presezzi continuous casting line.
Improved micro crystallization and alloy characteristics in casting.
Friction reduction between a tool (e.g. casting, drawing, extruding, molding).

This book is an introduction to developing and implementing a successful program in the domain of sustainability and social responsibility. The reader is exposed to financially, environmentally, and socially responsible objectives that are supported by strategies and achieved by clear tactics that have measurable outcomes.
The reader is introduced to methods of implementing technologies and practices and will also learn how to measure the consequent social and environmental performance for written reports and persuasive presentations. This book also reveals why we should be sustainable by explaining seemingly complex topics in science in a way that requires very little math or science background. The overview also captures how sustainability and social responsibility can be the source of process and product innovation.
This book’s approach is practical yet scientific. The nine chapters are dedicated to the practice of environmental and social responsibility in ways that achieve financial stability over the long run. As a result, these chapters help us understand not just why businesses need to be more responsible but how businesses can be more successful over the long run.
International standards are given full treatment. ISO 26000 is given detailed attention, slightly more than ISO 9000 or ISO 14000, because it melds guidance on both environmental and social responsibility into one general concept of social responsibility. This book also specifies how to use traditional methods such as Six Sigma, lean, and operations research to improve processes, reduce resource use and waste, and make better social and environmental decisions that are based upon data from key financial, social, and environmental performance indicators. Internal and external data sourcing are given full treatment along with basic statistical data management. A recurring theme throughout the book is the integration of traditional methods of continuous improvement applied to social and environmental data sources.

On the side of the Fourvière hill, the site of the Antiquaille dominates the city. In ancient times, the Roman's set up their colony on this strategic site. In this heyday of the capital, the Gauls maintained the vestiges of the theatre and the Odeon. The archaeological site and the two buildings are classified as historic monuments.
The theatre was built around 15 BC. It was extended in the 2nd century and can welcome up to 10,000 people. Farces, pantomimes or other light shows were put on here. An inclined roof protected the stage and favoured acoustics. In front of the stage, the curtain's pit is kept hidden under the floor. A model housed in the Gallo-Roman museum shows the functioning of this complex mechanical system.

The most common sign of a heart attack is chest pain, but pain in your arms, back, neck, jaw or stomach can also be signs of an attack. You might also be short of breath, break out in a cold sweat, or feel nauseous. If you have chest pain with or without other symptoms, get help right away. The faster you get care, the less chance of permanent damage.
Heart disease can be a family affair. Research indicates if your parents have heart disease you’re more likely to develop the disease. A study in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine found women’s risk is 43% greater if their mother has heart disease and 17% greater if their father has it. Men’s risk increases 55% from mothers and 41% from fathers. If your parents have heart disease, talk to your doctor about your risk and staying heart healthy.

This book represents an attempt to give to the worker a nearly complete statement of the whole subject. The essential points are illustrated by the practical experiments. The book is intended mainly for medical students, but it contains the essentials for all students of Biology.
by Arthur Harden - Longmans, Green & Co.
In the following chapters, based on courses of lectures, an account is given of the work done on alcoholic fermentation since Buchner's epoch-making discovery of zymase, only in so far as it appears to throw light on the nature of that phenomenon.
Chemical biology utilizes chemical principles to modulate systems to either investigate the underlying biology or create new function. This book covers protein purification, enzymology, vitamins, antioxidants, biotransformation, gene delivery, etc.
The human organism is a true ecosystem composed of human cells, bacteria, fungi, algae, and viruses. As such, humans are not unlike other complex ecosystems containing microbial assemblages observed in the marine and earth environments.
Written by experts from the fields of chemistry, glycobiology, microbiology, immunology, botany, zoology, as well as biotechnology. In addition to the basic research, this book also offers much in the way of experiences, tools, and technologies.

In Shakespeare performance criticism, the current trend is to conceptualize each performance as a unique event that brings together text, acting, lighting, directing, sound, blocking, spatial layout, and other elements to create a unique occasion. In these cases, the text is only one part of the production, and often not even the most significant part. While this idea of performance makes sense for full-scale, and especially professional productions, it does not map well onto modes of performance where the textual or verbal element of the text is the most important feature of the performance, for instance in readings, staged readings, radio dramas, or other audio recordings (such as librivox). Such modes of performance have been understood in relation to full-scale productions, in the words of Genevieve Love on staged readings, in terms of a “stepping-stone,” “wish,” or “becoming” on the way to full performance. This paper argues that such modes should be understood differently, not in relation to theatre, but in relation to private, silent reading. They exist in an increasingly popular, modern tradition of reading plays aloud as a substitute for and spur to private, individual reading.
To illustrate this point, I turn to The First Stage, a thirteen-episode series of early English plays produced for BBC Radio in the mid-1950s, which includes professional productions of many rarely played Tudor dramas, such as The Play of the Weather, Gammar Gurton’s Needle, Ralph Roister Doister, and Gorboduc. Initially, the history of this series suggests that the broadcast of each play should be understood as an event, which brought together an often radically adapted text with voices, musicians, sound and other technical effects to create a distinctive listening experience. Yet the presentation of the plays in a series and its audience reception suggests that the implicit, but guiding principal of The First Stage was to present the plays as written texts made accessible via radio. That is, the series offered a way to engage with written drama by listening, instead of reading.

Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant and one of the best researched nutrients. Most mammals can produce vitamin C as they need it but the human system evolved without this ability, therefore we must ensure an adequate daily intake to stay healthy. Vitamin C is found in fruits and vegetables, but it is easily destroyed by heat, cooking, processing, and storage, and rapidly eliminated from our system in the urine. Inadequate levels of vitamin C may be seen in cases of physical and mental stress, older people and those with chronic conditions including cardiovascular disease, asthma, arthritis, age-related eye disease, and certain cancers. Vitamin C is best known for strengthening the immune system by supporting and improving white blood cell function. It is also essential for the proper formation of collagen, the building block of many tissues and a crucial component in skin rejuvenation. Vitamin C also helps to reduce histamine release in the body, thereby alleviating allergy symptoms. There are numerous forms of vitamin C with ascorbic acid being the most basic. People wanting a clinically proven form that is easier on the system than ascorbic acid may choose a form like Ester-C brand calcium ascorbate.
Adults: Chew 2 to 6 SISU Ester-C 250mg Chewable tablets a day or as directed by a health care practitioner.
Children (4 and up): Chew 1 to 2 SISU Ester-C 250mg Chewable tablets a day or as directed by a health care practitioner.

Which country has the highest debt to GDP ratio?
Japan has a debt to GDP ratio of 239.3%, around $11.8 trillion. This is significant because it means Japan’s debt is over twice as much as its annual economic output. Debt obviously comes with the need to pay it back with interest. Therefore, it is very unlikely Japan will payback all its debt anytime soon.
However, Japan’s debt is mostly owned domestically meaning it is very unlikely there will be a default because to do so would be incredibly damaging for its economy. Japan’s debt has been largely created by the buying of government bonds by the Japanese central bank (the Bank of Japan) – using the central bank to bail out the state. Interest rates on debt are currently very low. However, the risk remains that Japan could reach a situation where it is unable to pay off even the interest on its debt as the country’s deficit increases. This would make a default more likely.
Other major economies also have very high levels of public debt. The UK’s debt is 85.8% of GDP, the US’ debt is approximately 107% of GDP.

It is well known that C Band SAR data is not adequate for land cover classification especially in tropical environments. The purpose of this paper is to study selected feature extraction techniques to improve the C band usefulness. ERS1/2 tandem mode data was acquired over the Tapajos National Forest, Brazil, and gave the opportunity of testing the C band coherence map for classification purposes. The use of coherence for land cover classification is justified since it is expected low coherence in forest areas, in comparison with bare soil and sparse vegetation, which have high coherence. Texture is also a standard feature normally employed and from a set of fourteen of the Haralick's features, one was selected to be tested jointly with C band coherence map and the C band backscatter itself. Two sets of classes, one with 10 classes, the other with 4 classes were defined for training the classifiers. These classes represent typical classes in the region, and mainly include primary forest, several stages of regeneration and pasture. Iterative Conditional Mode (ICM), which is a contextual supervised per point classification scheme, and a supervised region classifier from a segmentation map produced by region growing type of segmentation were used to produce the classification maps. Statistical tests based on Kappa statistics were used to test the precision and significance of the results. The result shows that coherence map alone is adequate for the case of four classes, and the inclusion of any other feature either does not change the precision significantly or worse the results.

1910’s ERARD Antique concert piano from Pascal Vieillard on Vimeo.
Truly exceptional piano restored a few years ago, perfect sound and touch original ivories in beautiful condition.
Cabinet is stunning, French Marquetry at its best.
Erard , Gaveau and Pleyel pianos were the 3 best known French piano manufacture…equivalent to Steinway, Mason Hamlin, and Chickering pianos in the USA but with a distinctive romantic sound.
This particular piano is 100% ready to perform in your home .
Érard’s grand piano action (English patent no 4,631, 1821) is the predecessor to those used in modern grands, the repetition lever in these “double escapement” actions allows notes to be repeated more easily than in single actions. It is just one of many Érard innovations still found on modern pianos – for example, Érard was the first maker in Paris to fit pedals on the piano, and his instrument had several pedals. There was the usual sustaining pedal, an action shift, a celeste, and a bassoon pedal (which put leather against the strings to make them buzz). A knee lever moved the action further than the action-shift pedal, making the hammers strike only one string. Other Érard piano patents deal mainly with technicalities of the keyboard action, soundboard, and tuning mechanism; virtually all of these innovations are retained in modern piano design.
Franz Liszt is said to have played a six-octave Érard piano in Paris in 1824. Érard put him under contract from about this time until 1825, so when he toured England they sponsored him and he played their pianos.Érard’s pianos were also widely appreciated by the foremost musicians – Charles-Valentin Alkan, Beethoven, Chopin, Fauré, Haydn, Herz, Liszt, Mendelssohn,Moscheles, Verdi and Ravel are just a few of the famous composers who owned Erard Pianos. Mid-career, Paderewski traveled on concert tours with his own Érard piano.

The role that salt plays in your diet.
Why your need for salt may increase on a low-carb diet.
When to increase sodium intake.
Typical table salt is a compound made up of sodium and chloride. Sodium, in particular, helps your body maintain sufficient blood volume and fluid levels and it also plays an important role in nerve and muscle function.
If you don’t sufficiently replenish that lost sodium, you’ll feel lightheaded, tired, and weak, and be prone to headaches.
While estimating your intake of sodium is challenging, most people will find that a slight increase in the salt they put on their food helps them feel better.
Note: For some people, a low-salt diet may be appropriate. Consult your doctor if you have high blood pressure, heart or kidney issues.
If adding salt is not something you’d like to do, you can get sodium and other important electrolytes from one or two cups of bone broth or a few drops of a good electrolyte supplement like the one we use in our home called Endure.
Keep in mind that if you are working in a hot environment or exercising heavily, you’ll increase your secretion of sodium so an extra dose of salt at those times may be needed to keep you feeling good!

How does a Lighting Designer see the world? This question which was posed to me at a festival years ago has never left me. The answer that I gave still remains true, but left me thinking. How is the world seen? As designers and artists we reveal a portion of who we are and how we see the world. Part of the challenge is to interpret the views of the other collaborators to a create one unified window into a world of our making for the audience.
This is what intrigues me. Theatre has always been enjoyable, but as I have learned more about design I have made discoveries about myself. I consider myself a designer, artist, and even a sculptor carving out a space with light to reveal the beautiful and intricate moments of a piece. This is what I love about theatre; this is what makes me an artist.

35,000 people — and 171 tractors — marched in Berlin last weekend for a transformation of the food and farming system. Under the slogan “we’re fed up”, demonstrators called for an end to the industrialisation of agriculture and for better food, fair prices and more protection for nature.
The demonstration comes ahead of the first in a set of key European Parliament votes on the future of food and farming which is set to take place on 14 February. MEPs on Parliament’s Environment committee will vote on amendments to the European Commission’s proposal for reform of the Common Agricultural Policy which the EU executive proposed last June. A vote in the Agriculture committee will follow in early March.
However, it remains to be seen whether an all-MEP plenary vote on CAP reform will take place before the Parliamentary term ends on 18 April ahead of May’s EU-wide elections, meaning responsibility for shaping the future of food and farming will be passed on to the next group of MEPs elected to the Parliament.
Environmental groups have warned that the blueprint for reform put forward by the European Commission sets the stage for a ‘race to the bottom’ on ecological farm standards. Under the plan, countries would have little incentive to link farm subsidy payments to environmental protections. Those that go the extra mile by championing environmental protection would effectively be putting their farmers in at a negative competitive advantage in Europe.
In a paper published in September, the European Environmental Bureau (EEB), BirdLife Europe, WWF, and Greenpeace called for the next EU agricultural policy to support farmers in the transition to sustainable farming. The paper identifies the need for funding nature protection; ending perverse subsidies for intensive agriculture and factory farming; ensuring environmental laws on farms are truly enforced; and involving environmental bodies in the reform process.
The impact of agricultural emissions on urban air pollution is also a key concern for environmental and health groups. Ammonia gets into the air when fields are fertilised and animal waste breaks down. It combines with industrial emissions to create extremely harmful fine particles. Unlike other air pollutants, overall ammonia emissions in Europe are on the rise, yet five EU countries have recently asked for these limits to be raised.

Fresh poultry has been known to be contaminated with Salmonella (bacterium), but a recent study of the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Mumbai has revealed presence of the bacterium in ready-to-cook poultry products. Study released in May 2017 analysed presence of Salmonella in 87 chilled and frozen ready-to-cook poultry samples of four different brands purchased from supermarkets and departmental stores of Mumbai.
Salmonella, gram-negative bacteria, is known to cause food-borne illness. Most people infected by pathogen develop diarrhoea, fever and abdominal cramps within 12-72 hours after infection. Important sources of human Salmonella infections are poultry meat, eggs and foods of animal origin.
Out of the total tested samples, prevalence of Salmonella was found to be higher in chilled samples (51 per cent) than the frozen ones (5 percent). The study did not reveal names of the tested sample brands. However, it found one of the brands for frozen sample to be free from Salmonella. More than 80 per cent of the sampled microorganisms were multidrug-resistant with resistance to five or more antibiotics.
A total of 19 antibiotic resistance patterns were observed with the most predominant pattern being Nalidixic Acid, Sulphamethizole, Chlortetracycline, Kanamycin, Oxytetracycline, Trimethoprim, Tetracycline (29 isolates) followed by Ampicillin, Cephalothin, Nalidixic Acid, Sulphamethizole, Chlortetracycline, Kanamycin, Oxytetracycline, Trimethoprim and Tetracycline (16 isolates). Many of these are used to treat human infections.
Due to the high incidence of Salmonella and resistance to multiple antibiotics, the study concluded that modern food processing techniques, adopted by the industry, is not effective and sufficient to produce microbiologically safe products.

Once a modest agricultural community, Potomac, Maryland has grown into one of the wealthiest locations, per capita, in the United States. The town’s population includes foreign dignitaries, American politicians, famous entertainers and professional athletes, and leaders in all walks of industry and business. Yet only a short walk away is the C&O Canal, an oasis of nature in the midst of this wealthy suburban community located just minutes from our Nation’s capitol.
It all started with the arrival of the C&O Canal which reached the area in 1831 from Georgetown. Farmers were then able to easily acquire fertilizer for their crops from Washington, D.C. and transport the resulting bounty back to the Capitol. The area avoided the destruction brought to many other locations by the Civil War and experienced steady growth following the conflict. The hunt club crowd entered the area in the 1930s and suburban growth exploded after World War II.
Potomac is close to arguably the best rock climbing in Maryland at Carderock, some of the best kayaking near Brookmont (there’s even an Olympic kayak slalom course on the Potomac there), excellent fishing for anglers, and the beautiful and thunderous Great Falls. Many historic structures are located here as well as great hiking trails. This area of the park is extremely popular with locals and visitors alike – it is truly a respite from the demands of everyday life.

The paste protects teeth from decay during their change from milk to permanent. Refreshing mint toothpaste was developed for children aged 4-8 years. It contains the right dose of fluoride and special cleaning ingredients to remove bacterial sediment, which is the main cause of tooth decay and gum disease. Mineralization with amine fluoride causes quick incorporation of fluoride in the enamel, thanks to which the teeth become stronger and more resistant to decay. Gentle cleaning and reliable protection against caries during the change of permanent teeth.

You also have to attach the cable to wood or some other surface where the little teeny nails will actually hold. Plus, unless you use a ton of these clips, the cable will sag.
You might also try U-shaped staples, but it doesn’t seem very wise to use a gun that fires sharp metal projectiles near, say, an ethernet cable.
Want to remove it later? No problem! Just pull it off.
You can glue other broken stuff together along the way! Loose baseboard? Glue it!
In no time flat, you’ll have a beautifully routed cable.
Don’t get any hot glue on your fingers, because it’s hot! Also, don’t touch the tip of the gun to the cable itself.
It seems that hot glue, or hot melt adhesives (HMA) are used for darn near everything!
Book binding, gluing cardboard boxes shut, model rocket building, gluing styrofoam, electronics manufacturing (standard hot glue is an insulator), and even woodworking!
A hot glue gun can be very useful in the workshop to hold 2 pieces of wood together until you can get a screw or nail in there.
So there you have it: pretty cables, and a whole lot more!

Phytomass is defined as the above-ground component of grass. Its quantity across the reserve is integral in correlating grazer numbers and primary production as well as assisting with fire management. The arid savannah requires approximately 2 500kg of phytomass per hectare to sustain an ecologically viable fire. Too much phytomass will result in fires that are too hot and therefore destructive. Too little phytomass will result in cool fires that will perpetuate bush encroachment.
Volume of phytomass across the reserve has been recorded since 2009 and using this data-set it is possible to follow the trend in phytomass volume over the 5-year period. From 2009 to 2012 an overall increase in phytomass volume has been seen and may be attributed to recovery from excessive grazing regimes and high rainfall. Phytomass volume may be looked at alongside grazer populations established in the annual game counts and rainfall, as these factors are known to influence primary production.

Sunburn is one of those pesky, sometimes incredibly painful, side effects of staying out in the sun too long, but until now, scientists have wondered what exactly the biological process of it is.
The Journal Sentinel reports that scientists discovered ultraviolet radiation from the sun breaks and tangles elements of a special RNA inside cells. In turn, the RNA prompts healthy cells nearby to inflame. This inflammatory response is aimed at removing the cells damaged by sun, and results in the sunburn reaction.

What is Food Yoga for Youth?
Food Yoga is about teaching the youth the critical importance of proper food choices for advancing their academic performance. But it is even more than that: the word yoga is a Sanskrit word that comes from the root word, yuj, to connect. So Food Yoga is the art and science of nourishing our body, mind and consciousness through an attitude of gratitude for food and its unique role in creating unity by breaking down barriers associated with discrimination, ethnicity, language, and gender. The Food Yoga course also includes physical yoga training so that students can see the connection between smart food choices and stressless exercises for achieving a healthy body and mind.
Students will also learn to see the beauty and light within themselves, thereby boosting their self-confidence, allowing them to feel more comfortable with their bodies, and helping them get in touch with who they are inside. A child who learns yoga, mindfulness, relaxation and eats well will develop character building skills for a lifetime and wellness in mind, body and spirit.
Anti-bullying, health and wellness, and character building are common themes in American schools today, all focusing on educating the child’s mind, body and spirit. Yoga, by nature, supports this education.

The ability of Varroa destructor to reproduce in the African honey bee Apis mellifera scutellata was studied. In addition, the effects of space within the brood cell and short brood developmental time on mite reproduction, was investigated using A. m. scutellata cells parasitised by a A. m. capensis worker pseudo-clone. In A. m. scutellata worker cells Varroa produced 0.9 fertilised females per mother mite which is the same as found in susceptible European honey bees, but greater than the 0.4 produced in cells containing the pseudo-clone. Low mite reproductive success in cells containing pseudo-clone was mainly as a result of increased mite mortality. This was caused by male protonymphs and some mothers becoming trapped in the upper part of the cell due to the pseudo-clone being 8% larger than their host and not due to their short developmental time. Therefore, mite populations in South African A. m. scutellata and A. m. capensis honey bees are expected to increase to levels observed in Europe and USA.

Carbon Monoxide is an odorless and colorless exhaust by-product of combustion engines. Potentially dangerous exposure can occur before symptoms actually appear.
The long-term effects of Carbon Monoxide exposure are hardening of arteries and increased risk of heart attack.
The current Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) permissible exposure limit (PEL) for carbon monoxide is 50 parts per million (ppm) parts of air (55 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m(3))) as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) concentration [29 CFR Table Z-1].
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has established a recommended exposure limit (REL) for carbon monoxide of 35 ppm (40 mg/m(3)) as an 8-hour TWA and 200 ppm (229 mg/m(3)) as a ceiling [NIOSH 1992].
The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has assigned carbon monoxide a threshold limit value (TLV) of 25 ppm (29 mg/m(3)) as a TWA for a normal 8-hour workday and a 40-hour workweek [ACGIH 1994, p. 15].
Our goal is to reduce the exposure of saw operators and others in construction–related industries, to potentially harmful exhaust fumes & silica dust when using such equipment.

Starfallis a Web site that uses phonics and phonemic awareness practice to supportyoung children who are learning to read, including letter recognition, applyingletter sounds to words, basic vocabulary, and building fluency and comprehension.Developed and launched in 2002 by a team of teachers, the free Web site offersa few limited activities. However, a membershipis required to access the full library, which also includes various sing-alongand historical folk songs, as well as customizable teacher resources likepractice worksheets. Starfall’s annual costs range from $35 for a homemembership up to $270 for a school membership. Clasroom and school membershipsare required for students to log in on multiple computers and customize theiravatar, and for teachers to track student activity.
Asthe company tells it, the popularity of the Starfall Web site (usage numbersare unavailable) led Starfall to develop full reading and language artscurricula for pre-K and for kindergarten, with the help of a task force of 150teachers and 5000 students. The pre-K curriculum kit of teacher and studentmaterials costs $395, while the kindergarten curriculum costs about $1000 for aclassroom (and in both cases, Starfall.com membership is sold separately,though the company includes online access in its lower-priced homeschool kits).
Finally, Starfall also offers some of its activities packaged into apps, including Starfall ABCs and Starfall Learn to Read.

The District II Risk Management page is designed to help league and club administrators, coaches, and team managers maintain a safe environment for soccer. The risk of injury in any sport is always present. Parents know this when they sign up their kids to play soccer. However, sometimes parents will look to blame others for accidents—uncontrollable events or actions that may harm their kids. This page offers suggestions for ways to keep injuries or exposures to other risks to a minimum, protecting the kids and potentially reducing your risk of liability. More information on risk management is available on the CYSA-N web site.
It is important to note that in no way is this information intended to provide professional legal advice regarding risk management. We strongly suggest that you consult an attorney for legal advice or information regarding any matters related to risk in your league or club.
Goals can tip over for a number of reasons. The most common causes are having kids climb on a goal or hang from the crossbar. But goals can also be blown over by a gust of wind, or knocked down during an organized practice or game.
A properly anchored portable goal is much less likely to tip over. It is imperative that leagues and clubs remind every team that all movable goals be anchored properly during all practices and games. The number and type of anchors will depend on a variety of factors, such as soil type, moisture, and the weight of the goal. See the PDF on the CYSA-N web site or team manual for more information on goal safety.

Aquarium Industry Response Mechanism — Pro-vision Reef Inc.
Stewardship Action Plan: Mitigating Ecological Risk in a Changing Climate integrates with the Reef Health Incidence Response System when there is natural disturbance event.
The Responding to Natural Disturbance section of Stewardship Action Plan: Mitigating Ecological Risk in a Changing Climate becomes a Fisheries Plan under the Reef Health Incidence Response System. It is not activated at Response Level 1; conditionally activated at Response Level 2; and fully activated at Response Level 3.
At Response Level 2 in the Reef Health Incident Response System, collectors will contribute condition-monitoring data to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority by completing Reef Health Impact Surveys to the ‘Eye on the Reef’ program.
Reef Health Impact Surveys are used to assess a range of reef health indicators, including coral and algal cover and the extent and severity of impacts, such as coral bleaching, coral disease and storm damage, including flooding.
Aquarium fish and coral collectors typically work at greater depth and at sites seldom visited by other reef user groups, including researchers and monitoring teams, so the Reef Health Impact Surveys are especially valuable to assembling a fuller picture of the disturbance event.
At Response Level 3 in the Reef Health Incident Response System, a Management Response Task Force will convene as a fully activated Fisheries Plan.
The Management Response Task Force combines industry knowledge; the extensive early warning, monitoring and evaluation resources available to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority; the day-to-day operational assessment and monitoring activities undertaken by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service; and spatial and temporal fishery records maintained by Fisheries Queensland.
The Management Response Task Force will undertake its duties in the spirit of partnership to achieve its defined purpose.
The purpose of the Management Response Task Force is to gather the available resources from industry and marine park and fishery management agencies to determine agreed management responses to disturbance that contribute to reef recovery.

The drive to understand human behavior and psychological processes has fueled the development of psychology from philosophical conjecture to a true science. New applied sciences also provided self-discipline and focus for areas of elementary science that had been progressing slowly, as vaccines did for immunology and airplanes did for theoretical aerodynamics. Tangentially, the science fiction genre, primarily unbelievable in nature, engages the public creativeness and transmits the concepts, if not the methods, of science.
Teresa, we did this for several years in my science class, and it was one of the most popular classes I actually have ever taught. Some of the video-taped experiments are hazardous, and needs to be supervised by an grownup or performed solely by science lecturers. Science policy additionally refers back to the act of applying scientific data and consensus to the development of public insurance policies.
As science gained notoriety and more systematic approaches advanced, the understanding of studying, reflexes, and thought processes and their relationship to the body turned extra understood, but additionally extra disputed. I regularly replace this hub when customers discover difficulties making some aspect of the undertaking work.
Science policy is an area of public coverage involved with the insurance policies that affect the conduct of the scientific enterprise, including analysis funding , often in pursuance of different national policy targets such as technological innovation to advertise commercial product development, weapons growth, well being care and environmental monitoring.
In accordance with public policy worrying about the effectively-being of its citizens, science coverage’s aim is to consider how science and expertise can best serve the public. Adanya kegiatan mengolah knowledge yang diperoleh, artinya dilakukan analisis terhadap data tersebut.

Leaves in stone: does decay control the fossil record?
Plant fossils provide a record of the terrestrial ecosystem for the past 400 million years, but we do not fully understand the biases that are introduced during their formation. This project will explore how different groups of plants (e.g. flowering plants, conifers, Ginkgo, and ferns) decay. Knowing decay rates of different groups will allow us to better understand the fossil record and reconstruct ancient ecosystems.

May is Bladder Cancer Awareness Month. While we don't know all the causes of Bladder Cancer, we do know there are things you can do to help avoid it. This is because there are known risk factors that can increase the chance of it developing.
Smoking is a major risk factor for bladder cancer. Cigarette, cigar and pipe smoking increases your risk. Half of all bladder cancer cases in the United States are caused by cigarette smoke. Bladder cancer develops in smokers 2 to 3 times more than in nonsmokers.
When you smoke, you inhale chemicals from the tobacco. The chemicals move from your lungs into your blood. Your kidneys filter the chemicals out of your blood and send them to your bladder. Over time, these chemicals can damage the cells that line the inside of your bladder. This damage increases the chance of cancer developing.
Long-term exposure to chemicals used to make plastics, paints, textiles, leather and rubber may also cause bladder cancer. Hairdressers, machinists, printers, painters and truck drivers may be at risk for bladder cancer. Chemicals may cause about 23 out of every 100 bladder cancer cases. Like the chemicals in cigarette smoke, these chemicals (carcinogens) can remain in the bladder for a few hours before you urinate. In that way, the bladder becomes a place where cancer can develop.
1 in 42 people will be diagnosed in their lifetime with bladder cancer and it's the fifth most common cancer diagnosed in the U.S., according to the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN). There are nearly 77,000 new cases expected to be diagnosed this year, and more than 16,000 will die from it. You can download our Non-Muscle Invasive Bladder Cancer Patient Guide for free to learn more.

Loading a quilt on an APQS frame is easy! In this video, APQS National Education Director Dawn Cavanaugh demonstrates two of our favorite quilt top floating methods to make loading a quilt simple and fast.
Many quilters love to make cuddly quilts using fabric like polar fleece, flannel, or nappy knits like Minky or Shannon fabrics. Each of these fabrics introduces unique properties that may require adjustments to the way you may normally quilt.
Next time you choose a backing fabric, take these tips from our APQS team into consideration!
Imagine how quickly you could knock out quilts if you could get more than one on the frame at a time! Well, it IS possible if you use a single backing fabric for both quilts.
Have you ever walked through a quilt show and felt the inspiration oozing out of the quilty masterpieces but have wondered how the quilter makes such incredible designs on the quilts?
Each quilt loading method has advantages and drawbacks, and there really is not a “right” way to load a quilt—only different ways.

Students have been encouraged to talk about the pressures they are feeling as they prepare to sit the Leaving and Junior Certificate examinations. The State examinations started on June 6. Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Mental Health James Browne said: “The State examinations can be stressful time for students. It’s important that young people talk about the pressure that they are feeling at this time. Just talking about it alone can help relieve the pressure enormously. It’s also important that young people talk about the State examinations with people who have already been through it. This can help provide a different perspective and a realisation that there are many different pathways to achieving the end goal.
“It’s particularly important that schools highlight the availability of support services over the examination period. Young people need encouragement as they sit through these exams. Even if exams do not lead to instant success, there are always other means to pursue interests in life. The Leaving Certificate in particular is not the be all and end all that many young people think it is. There are a range of options to pursue further education and third level education has never been more accessible.
“It’s important that young people know that, while exams are important, they do not define who you are. There are alternative pathways to any chosen career. This is the message that needs to be delivered to students in the weeks ahead,” concluded Deputy Browne.

The Clark Fork River flows right through the heart of downtown Missoula and is our home river. Since the addition of Brennan’s Wave in 2006, the Clark Fork has gained national attention for the abundance of recreational experiences it offers Missoula area river lovers. It’s common to see outdoor enthusiasts rafting, surfing, kayaking, and fishing all year long on the Clark Fork River.
The Clark Fork River originates at the confluence of Silver Bow and Warm Springs Creeks near Butte, Montana and winds 340 miles through western Montana to northeastern Idaho. In the course of their historic journey to the Pacific Ocean, Lewis and Clark explored much of the Clark Fork Basin. In fact, the Clark Fork was ultimately named for William Clark himself. It is the largest river in Montana by volume.
Removal of the Milltown Dam in 2008 initiated an extraordinary clean up of the Clark Fork River, which suffered the effects of decades of mining in upstream communities. Today, the result is a clean and lively river enjoyed by Montanans and visitors from all over the world.
The upper and lower stretches of the Clark Fork provide superb opportunities for scenic raft trips, kayak tours, and stand-up paddle boarding. Just 35 miles west of Missoula, is the legendary Alberton Gorge, which offers some of the best whitewater rafting, kayaking, and surfing in the state of Montana.
Get on board and prepare for an adventure!

The climate of India is described as of monsoon type. Derived from an Arabic word ‘mausim’, monsoon refers to the seasonal reversal in the wind direction through the year. This type of climate is found mainly in the south and the south east Asia. Despite an overall unity and commonality in the general pattern, there are perceptible regional variations in climatic conditions within the country.
The temperature touches as high as 50ºC in the western desert during the summer season, whereas it drops down as low as –40ºC in Leh during the winter. Similarly, variations are noticeable not only in the type of precipitation but also in its amount.
Climate Controls There are six major controls of climate of any place. They are - 1. latitude 2. altitude 3. pressure and wind system 4. distance from the sea 5. ocean current 6. relief features.

In spite of being one of the “Seven Natural Wonders of the World,” humans have not always seen the Grand Canyon in a positive light. First seen by Europeans in the year 1540, the canyon was not comprehended easily. Throughout the entire exploratory era, lasting nearly 320 years, conquistadores, explorers, trappers and miners viewed the canyon as an obstacle to travel or even useless. None of these early visitors ever returned a second time. However, when the first geologist laid eyes on it in 1857, he issued a siren call to humanity that it was something quite special on our planet. Every geologist who followed returned again, announcing to the world that the Grand Canyon was to be revered.
Wayne Ranney is a dynamic speaker who engages audiences by including the humanities in the topics of landscape development and Arizona history. A resident of Arizona since 1975, Wayne lived at the bottom of the Grand Canyon for three years before attaining degrees in geology from Northern Arizona University. He has traveled to nearly 90 countries worldwide and has lectured on all seven continents. His programs are insightful, participatory, and thought provoking. He has extensive experience in the geological sciences but brings the human element into his topics, showing how new ideas are conceived, developed, challenged or accepted. He is also an award-winning author of numerous books.

Alcohol and substance abuse are the most common addictions in our culture today. Many people overlook the fact that they are taking pain pills and still drinking everyday. Alcohol has become such an accepted vice that abusers find it difficult to admit that they are using too much, too often. Then when chemicals are added into the picture, the danger becomes even more severe.
In the recovery and therapeutic world, alcohol and drugs are considered an equal risk. A shot of hard liquor is equal to a glass of wine or a marijuana cigarette or a pill. Of course, pharmaceutical prescriptions and street drugs come at different strengths, but considering your alcohol and substance abuse, the frequency that you are taking a chemical or alcohol can be the indicator.
Many people do not recognize their own substance abuse because they have built up such a tolerance for it. What this means for a potential alcoholic or addict is that the alcohol and substance abuse has increased over time. Compare the usage now to five years ago, or ten. This should give you a clue to gauge your usage.
Another indicator that points towards substance abuse is hiding the alcohol and other substances from the people close to you and/or going to several doctors so that one doctor doesn’t have all the prescriptions. These are manipulative, and they show dishonest behaviors and how much stronger the addiction has become.
If you find yourself lying to those around you in order to find time for alcohol or substance abuse, this is a red flag. These indicators are signs that behaviors have gotten abusive, but if you choose to find some help in a rehab center for alcohol and substance abuse, you will get support and they will show you how to break the cycle.
Addiction to alcohol and substance abuse is a very serious problem that should be treated promptly. If you or someone you love has a problem with alcohol and substance abuse, call us today. Find out how to begin the road to recovery and to a better addiction free life.

Interpretive Summary: Biological control against the alfalfa weevil, a destructive pest of alfalfa, has resulted in the establishment of nine parasitoid wasps, which attack and kill various stages of the alfalfa weevil, in the US. Despite a massive effort by the USDA to redistribute a number of species throughout the US, there remains little follow-up information on whether these species are present, or doing any good, in many regions. In this study we surveyed parasitoid populations associated with alfalfa weevil larvae across 30+ sites spanning the eastern Montana and western North Dakota border over two years. Multiple sites were sampled in two habitat types differing in physical characteristics, flood-irrigated and dryland (rain-fed) alfalfa fields. Irrigated fields are higher yielding but also more intensively disturbed habitats due to increased harvest frequency and repeated flooding. Given evidence that both habitat disturbance and pest numbers, which often increase with increased plant growth, can influence parasitoids, we expected that the percentage of weevils killed by parasitoids and/or the relative importance of different species would differ across these two system types. Of four larval parasitoids species previously released/recovered in the region, two were present in our study, Bathyplectes curculionis and Oomyzus incertus with 37.2% and 3.5% of weevil larvae killed by each respectively. Levels of parasitism differed between habitat types, but the effect was entirely driven by differences in weevil numbers which were higher in irrigated than dryland fields. Parasitoid responses to weevil numbers varied between years and species. B. curculionis killed a higher percentage of weevil larvae as their numbers increased across sites in 2009 but the opposite pattern was found in 2010 when weevil numbers were higher overall. In contrast, the percentage of larvae killed by O. incertus increased with pest numbers across sites in 2010. Our results suggest that these two parasitoid species may be differentially effective at different weevil densities.

I brought my tree inside. The leaves have dropped and the flowers are drying. Do I water it? Do I cut it back? How do I control the top soil mold?
You are going to want to cut back your hydrangea, and water very lightly, just to keep the soil from getting completely dried out. If you have mold on the top of the soil, scraping off the surface of the soil should be enough; as the soil dries, the mold will die. Mold indicates the potting medium is too damp.

Pioneer 10 (1973 flyby of Jupiter system). This passed too far away from Europa to get a detailed picture, but the mission did note some variations in albedo (brightness) on the moon’s surface.
Pioneer 11 (1974 flyby of Jupiter system). The spacecraft made a flyby of Europa at nearly 375,000 miles (600,000 km) away, only allowing it to see some variation on the surface.
Voyager 1 (1979 flyby of Jupiter system). Made a distant flyby of Europa, and also yielded insights about how the gravity of one moon in Jupiter’s system influences the gravity of others. For example, Io’s volcanism was traced in part to interaction of Io with the moons, as well as with massive Jupiter.
Voyager 2 (1979 flyby of Jupiter system). One of its major discoveries was confirming brown stripes across the surface of Europa, suggesting cracks in the icy surface.
Galileo (orbited Jupiter between 1995-2003). Its most famous discovery at Europa was finding strong evidence of an ocean beneath the icy crust at the moon’s surface.
Europa Clipper (proposed for 2020s). Will fly by Europa dozens of times. One of its major goals is to seek out evidence of the apparent plumes that Hubble researchers spotted several times.
Giant water plumes have been spotted repeatedly since 2012, the most recent in 2017.

Dental Vocational Training (DVT) is a national one-year postgraduate training programme. The aims of DVT are “to provide recently qualified graduate dentists the skills necessary to undertake unsupervised general dental practice by enhancing clinical and administrative competence, and to promote high ethical standards and quality of care for patients.”.
On 1st August 2003, Scotland became the only UK country to introduce formal assessment as a mandatory part of the DVT year. Legislation requiring ‘satisfactory’ completion was enacted in 2004.
The move towards mandatory assessment and satisfactory completion represented a major change for DVT, and was the subject of considerable debate. SDPBRN helped inform this debate by conducting a longitudinal, comprehensive, comparative outcomes evaluation of DVT in areas of the UK with and without a mandatory system of assessment.
investigate if outcomes differ in areas of the UK with and without formal assessment.
Wales; Northern Ireland; Northern Deanery; and North Western Deanery – No mandatory assessment.
A stakeholder consultation was carried out to identify appropriate outcomes. The outcomes identified included clinical and non-clinical aspects of dental practice, continued professional development, and professional identity.
VDPs completed a self-report questionnaire at the beginning and end of their VDP training. A psychological framework utilising two theories of behaviour – Social Cognitive Theory and the Theory of Planned Behaviour underpinned the questionnaire.
At the end of every training year each deanery received an individual report giving their results in isolation and in comparison to the other participating deaneries.
This was a three-year study with a predicted end date of July 2006 and all deaneries received a final report at year 3. However, because the results informed and benefited curriculum development, the end date was extended until July 2009.

Several studies have been conducted on Drosophila polytene chromosomes to gain a better insight on the nature of genes and eukaryotic chromosome organization. Despite extensive research, there has been no definitive conclusion about chromosomal structure and arrangement as well as the relationship between genes and interchromomeres and chromomeres. It is clear from an analysis of various studies that the three-dimensional structure certainly exists in the one-dimensional nucleotide sequence but no explanation about band/interband boundary junctions has yet emerged.
The additive epistasis and dominant epistasis genetic variations in development time are increased at extremes of environmental conditions. The breaking of the epistasis gene complexes in the parental lines is followed by hybrid breakdown in vigorous development. Different epistasis gene complexes are obtained from the association of genetic drift and natural selection which are chosen after about 70 generations. Experimental lines from Drosophila melanogaster are crossed to investigate the expression of genetic variations with the environment.

There are many control measures, exposure measurement and assessment methods, best working pratices and research needs for the nanoparticle control in the workplace environments published by many institutes and standard organizations around the world. In addition, some progress has been made in the engineering control techniques, personal protection and admistrative management for engineered nanoparticles in our country and around the world. This projects aims at evaluating the control techiques of nanopaticles in the literature, propose concrete suggestions and develop a strategic plan for nanoparticle control suitable for our country. Although there is a lack of exposure data for nanoparticles in the workplaces, TiO2 recomemnded exposure limit (REL) has been proposed by the USA NIOSH and other nanomaterials are also under investigation. Therefore, it is important to conduct the exposure study in the high temperature TiO2 process and other workplaces to understand the level of nanoparticle exposure, the sources of nanoparticles, and assess the performance of control measures. In the laboratory study, this project intends to use a more convenient vortex shaker and small scale powder disperser to disperse nanopowders and conduct the dustiness tests. The results will be compared with the standard method hoping to reducce the testing time and cost. Industrial high-efficiency HEPA vacuum cleaners will also be tested for the removal efficiency of nanopowders and the effect of nanopowder loading on the efficiency will be evaluated. It is hoped the results are helpful to the improvement of industrial HEPA vacuum cleaners for nanoparticel control in our country.

Dental implants are becoming an increasingly popular method for replacing missing teeth. In this procedure, titanium supports are surgically fused with your jawbone, and act as an anchor for naturally looking false teeth. Dental implants are not only used for individual tooth replacement, but can also be used when replacing multiple teeth as an alternative to dentures. Implants can also be used to stablize loose fitting dentures.

When Monique, a young visiting nurse, steps into the home of an elderly patient, she finds herself in rooms filled with the most vivid color she has ever seen. Her patient is the artist Henri Matisse, and as Matisse recovers from his illness, he and Monique become good friends.
Later, Monique enters a convent where she becomes a nursing nun — and by happy coincidence, she meets Matisse once again. Her religious order is so poor that it doesn’t have a chapel of its own, but Matisse decides that with Monique’s help, he can remedy that situation. He develops a sketch drawn by Monique into a brilliant set of stained-glass chapel windows, and then uses his influence to raise enough money for the chapel’s construction.
This true account of Matisse and the chapel at Vence, in southern France, is the main focus of Laurence Anholt’s delightful children’s story. Anholt’s illustrations faithfully reproduce many of Matisse’s wonderful artworks in this stunning storybook.
Laurence Anholt is a British writer and illustrator whose books for children include Van Gogh and the Sunflowers, Degas and the Little Dancer, The Magical Garden of Monet, and Picasso and the Girl with a Ponytail. Anholt’s popular books for children have been published in 15 different languages, including Cantonese, Hebrew, and Icelandic. As both an author and an accomplished illustrator, he has created a charming series of children’s stories about famous artists. He and his wife, Catherine, both successful authors of juvenile titles, have three children, from whom they obtain many of their story ideas. They live and work in Lyme Regis, Dorset, England.

The earlobe is made up of strong areolar and adipose tissue and has a natural round, flat, or triangular shape. Lobules are normally smooth however they sometimes show creases. It has a large amount of blood supply and may assist in keeping the ears warm and maintaining balance, due to the reason that the earlobe doesn’t consist of cartilage. The earlobe has various nerve endings. Though, earlobes are not said to have any significant biological function.
The earlobe is made of epithelium and connective tissue and originates from dermatome.
But there is no dermatome, because there are no somites in the surrounding tissue.
The dermis is derived from cells of mesenchymal cells in this area.
The central section of Archenteron’s roof that stimulates the production of the Medulla oblongata is the first-level creator.
The Medulla oblongata, which induces the production of a pair of auricular follicles derived from the mesoderm, is the second-level creator.
The auricular follicle, which induces the production of the auditory bulla, is the third-level creator.
Lobules are normally smooth but often show wrinkles. Creased or crumpled earlobes may indicate a fundamental genetic illness, for example beckwith-wiedemann syndrome or congenital contractural arachno-dactyly.
There have been reports that diagonal earlobe folds extending from the lateral cheek toward the inferior helix are a major risk factor for myocardial infarction and ischemic heart disease.
The earlobe crease is also called Frank’s Sign.
However, earlobes lack the firmness and elasticity of the rest of the pinna and even without having heart disease can become creased and elongated with age.

Uniformity of temperature is a wine-storing essential—wine can degrade when stored in a spot with wide temperature swings.
Ideal storage temperatures depend on the density of wine. For example, sparkling wines, whites, and reds are best stored from 45º to 60º F to preserve taste longer.
Most of the models excelled at maintaining uniform temperatures, according to the thermometers we installed within the units.
As with many other top scorers, the entire shelf units remove easily to create storage compartments for larger bottles.
The shelves on another chiller were not removable and did not extend fully but boasted oval openings and an additional plastic insert to hold wider bottles snugly and protect their labels.
Other chillers have shelves with narrowly spaced slats that limit capacity and allow bottles to slide about, bump each other, and angle upward to block the drawer opening.
A noisy wine chiller can be a concern if it will be placed near living areas.
Louder models showed greater vibration. Whether that level is bad is open to debate; wine is a liquid, and every molecule is moving much faster than any motion imparted by vibration from a cellar.
While the temperatures setting that you choose will increase or decrease your energy use, some models use more than twice as much as others and almost as much as an 18-cubic-foot refrigerator.
Many models offer digital temperature controls that you can access without opening the door, which helps keep temperatures even more consistent.
The settings for red wine and white wine on one model also cut out some guesswork. Other models had water bins to maintain a high enough humidity level so that corks and labels don’t dry out.
Also look at integrated locks to prevent visitors from pilfering your prize vintages, tinted-glass doors that protect your wine from ultraviolet light, and adjustable interior lighting and tilt-up shelves to display your prized bottles or to store partially full ones.
Some wine chillers have wooden shelf edges that you can stain to match your cabinets; others can accept a custom-cabinet frame. Others allow you to insert strips of molding that match your cabinetry around the glass door.

A major new retrospective exhibition of Spanish artist Joan Miró opens in London next week.
The Tate Modern gallery’s publicity explains that the exhibition aims to “trace the anxious and politically engaged side to Miró’s work that reflects his passionate response to one of the most turbulent periods in European history”.
The artist worked in Barcelona and Paris, reflecting responses to the Spanish Civil War and the first months of the Second World War in France.
The exhibition will include key early works concerned with the land of Catalonia, and will go on to explore Miró’s responses to the Spanish Civil War and the fall of France between 1935 and 1941.
It includes works showing his euphoria over the decline and demise of Franco’s regime from 1968 to 1975.
Telling the story of Miró’s life and the times he witnessed reveals a darker intensity to many of his works.
The exhibition showcases more than 150 works from the artist who died in 1983.

Truck accidents can be one of the most devastating incidents we can see in our roads. The mere size and weight of trucks are enough reasons for them to have greater impacts when compared to other vehicles like compact cars and sedans.
According to the website of Russo, Russo & Slania, P.C., truck accidents may involve drunk driving, mechanical defects and malfunctions, employer negligence, driver error or negligence, and no-zone accidents.
What makes no-zone accidents different from the others is that they are easily prevented by the diligence of the truck drivers and the other motorists around them who are aware of the dangers of a no-zone truck accident. To help prevent such accidents, you yourself should be knowledgeable of no-zones.
Since trucks are enormous vehicles, they have the tendency to have blind spots, and these blind spots can be factors in triggering traffic accidents.
Most trucks have elevated cabs, and for this reason, their drivers may not be able to see things that are directly in front of them, like vehicles, motorcycles, and pedestrians. This space is called the front no-zone.
To prevent front no-zone accidents, truck drivers should always make sure that there is space between them and whatever it is in front of them. Other motorists should also be aware of the front no-zone, so they would avoid getting too close to the front side of the trucks.
Most trucks do not have rearview mirrors, so drivers cannot always see what is directly behind them. Trailers can also be obstructions that prevent them to see the rear end of the truck. This blind spot is called the rear no-zone.
To avoid rear no-zones, truckers should always be mindful that such no-zones exist, and should take this into consideration when they are making decisions in the road. Other drivers should also avoid tailgating or being too close to the rear ends of trucks and trailers.
Trucks are long vehicles, and there is a possibility that their drivers do not have complete vision to their side lengths. Of course, side mirrors are there to help, but they are not always fully reliable especially on long vehicles like trucks, particularly in the passenger’s side.
It is still the truckers’ responsibility to be in a considerable distance with other vehicles, especially because of the no-zones, but other motorists should also be aware that no-zones exist to help truckers even more in preventing traffic accidents.

Successful digitalisation of a company requires strategic planning and long-term thinking. Three basic steps are useful here, i.e. orientation, strategy and implementation.
Once the strategy is in place, implementation can start right away. During the final phase, precise coordination of internal and external services is vital so that the project can be implemented as planned. Even if a small-scale digitalisation measure is to be implemented at a company, an employee should be appointed project owner in order to accurately monitor the steps. During the implementation phase, adequate information for employees and coordination are necessary with regard to the changes taking place at the company. If customers, service providers and suppliers are also to benefit from the measure, they must also be informed and involved in due time.
Unforeseeable events or deviations from plans are possible even with good time management and project controlling. This should not be forgotten when terminating contracts or shutting down existing equipment. One way to minimise risks is, for instance, parallel operation of old and new systems for a limited period of time.
Regular controlling after measuring the success of the measure is also important. This is a step where external support is often advisable. At this point, the digital pilots can help by giving concrete recommendations for IT services.

This operator can be useful in cases when we need to perform pattern matching instead of equal or not equal. The SQL Like is used when we want to return the row if specific character string matches a specified pattern. The pattern can be a combination of regular characters and wildcard characters.
To return a row back, regular characters must exactly match the characters specified in the character string. The wildcard characters can be matched with arbitrary parts of the character string.
Let’s use the AdventureWorks sample database and see some different SQL Like operators with ‘%’ and ‘_’ wildcards.
The SQL Like underscore character e.g. „ is used when we want to check a single character that can be anything and provide the rest of the characters for our match.
I hope this article on the SQL Like operator has been informative and I thank you for reading.

Mother's Day is a special time of the year in which we appreciate our mother's. It a special day when we thank our mother's for helping and encouraging us throughout our life.
What do we do during Mother's Day?
During this special occasion, there is a lot to do for them. For example, you can cook something for them, or you can make/buy them a card, gift and etc. Remember it is not about how much you get them, or how expensive or cheap it is, it is about how much effort and love you put into it.
The History of Mother's Day!
The real Mother’s Day holiday began in the 1900s due to the hard work of Anna Jarvis. Anna Jarvis was the daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis. Due to her mother’s death in 1905, Anna Jarvis created Mother’s Day as a way of honouring the sacrifices and help mothers made for their children.
How is Mother's Day celebrated in different countries?
In Thailand, mother's day is celebrated on August 12, this is because it is Sirikit's (Queen of Thailand) birthday. However in Ethiopia during mother's day families get together and sing songs and eat a large feast as part of Antrosht (a multi-day celebration honouring motherhood). In the United States and England, mother's day is celebrated by giving flowers, gifting your mother's and helping them with their household work and doing chores.
Overall, to conclude I hope you understood what Mother's Day is and I hope you will keep your mother's happy. Happy Mother's day!

Global warming over the next half-century could put more than a million species of plants and animals on the road to extinction, according to an international study Thomas, lead author of the study published in the science journal Nature, said emissions from cars and factories could push temperatures up to levels not seen for 1 million to 30 million years by the end of the century, threatening many habitats. The sweeping new analysis, enlisting scientists from 14 laboratories around the globe, found that more than one-third of 1,103 native species they studied in six regions around the world could vanish or plunge to near extinction by 2050 as climate change turns plains into deserts or alters forests. Global warming is widely blamed on rising concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere linked to emissions of gases from burning fossil fuels in cars, factories and power plants. We can cut global warming pollution by reducing pollution from vehicles and power plants. We can increase our reliance on renewable energy sources such as wind, sun and geothermal. And we can manufacture more efficient appliances and conserve energy. But all this will take time, instead we should think of alternatives which can be done immediately like doing ridesharing or carpool, using clean fuel like CNG. There is no reason to wait and hope that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will solve the problem in the future. Right away, we should put existing technologies for building cleaner cars and more modern electricity generators into widespread use. If current trends continue Global warming will have catastrophic effects like: • Melting glaciers, early snowmelt and severe droughts will cause more dramatic water shortages in the American West. • Rising sea levels will lead to coastal flooding on the Eastern seaboard, in Florida, and in other areas, such as the Gulf of Mexico. • Warmer sea surface temperatures will fuel more intense hurricanes in the south-eastern Atlantic and Gulf coasts. • Forests, farms and cities will face troublesome new pests and more mosquito-borne diseases. • Disruption of habitats such as coral reefs and alpine meadows could drive many plant and animal species to extinction. Such alarming facts call for some serious action on each one’s part and we can contribute by sharing our vehicles and making carpools in our cities.

The results found that screen-time and poor eating were consistently linked and that parents’ habits were also related to their youngsters’ behaviours.
Screen time warning for young children issued by Loughborough University researchers.
A STUDY has found that five and six-year-olds’ screen-time is linked with low fruit and vegetable consumption and high intake of unhealthy snacks such as crisps, chocolate and biscuits.
The research, led by Dr Emma Haycraft, of Loughborough University’s School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences, also suggests that parents’ own tech and eating habits are influential to their youngsters’ behaviours.
The study was funded by the British Heart Foundation and conducted by Dr Natalie Pearson.
The study also revealed that children who ate meals in front of the TV and children who had a higher availability of energy-dense snack foods at home were more likely to have higher screen-time, lower fruit and vegetable consumption and higher energy-dense snack food consumption.
Dr Haycraft said: “We were surprised to see that almost 79% of children aged five to six consumed less than the recommended five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, yet around half of children ate almost two energy-dense snacks a day.
“It is concerning that these behaviours cluster in children from such a young age.
“There is a lot of evidence linking screen time to adverse health consequences such as obesity, and a lot of evidence linking unhealthy diets to poor health outcomes such as obesity.

Researchers have synthesized a type of novel alkaloid that could protect against the toxic effects of free haem, an essential molecule usually bound to haemoglobin and other proteins. These alkaloids could be effective for treating haem-induced toxicity, which wreaks havoc on vital organs such as kidneys and the heart.
Haem is an important molecule that has roles in drug detoxification, oxygen transport and respiration in living organisms. Haemoglobin releases free haem during various pathological stages, through a process that generates reactive oxygen species. Such reactive oxygen species can cause damage to lipids, proteins and even DNA and vital biological cells. So far, however, no antidote has yet been capable of counteracting this toxicity.
To devise an effective antidote, the researchers turned their attention to natural products. Previous studies have shown that acridone, a type of alkaloid found in the root bark of citrus fruits, exhibits anticancer, antiviral and antiparasitic properties. Taking cues from this, the researchers successfully synthesized acridone and its novel derivatives such as arborinine. They then studied the efficacy of arborinine and other acridone derivatives for fighting the toxic effects of free haem.
The alkaloids showed an affinity to bind to haem, which is essential for thwarting its toxic effects. The study found that arborinine and other acridone derivatives were able to prevent the haem-induced degradation of bovine serum albumin, a protein molecule.
"At this stage, it is too early to class these molecules as potential drug candidates," says lead researcher Susanta Sekhar Adhikari. Because these molecules protect proteins from haem-induced toxicity, they could have important roles in haem-induced pathology, he adds.

BLUE is a film about how the oceans are broken, and what can be done to fix them. Half of all marine life has been lost in the last 40 years. And by 2050 there will be more plastic in the sea than fish. Featuring passionate advocates for ocean preservation, the film tackles themes of habitat destruction, species loss and pollution. Filmed in the seas surrounding Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines and the USA, BLUE looks at how the very nature of the ocean is being altered.
Our ocean has been the guardian of life on earth. Now it is our turn to be guardians for the ocean.

In a previous article, we explored how cultural narratives can add on another layer of complexity in the coming out process for Asian LGBTIQ people. In this article, we will explore some ways to deal with these issues.
1. Why do I want to come out to my parents? Is it for more freedom to be yourself? Is it because you wish to be closer to them?
2. How good is your relationship with your parents now?
3. How much external support do you have if things go badly? Are you financially independent? Do you have emotional support? Is there any risk of harm to yourself?
Only consider coming out when you have a clear answer to why you wish to do so, if you have a fairly strong relationship with your parents and if you have contingency plans.
Many Asian parents do not know much about being LGBTIQ. Coming out abruptly might be a big shock and they may not know how to respond to you. It is useful to slowly expose them to the LGBTIQ community and to normalize it for them. This also helps you judge their reactions and how strongly they are holding to their views about being someone queer.
Choose a time when there are no other stressors occurring in their lives and sit them done. Tell them you are queer and tell them the reason for your coming out to them (e.g., to be closer to them).
Be mentally prepared for strong / negative reactions. Some reactions may be delayed and arise after a few months of your coming out. It helps to rehearse how you wish to handle your parents’ reactions either with a friend or in your mind.
Validate their anger and denial. Try to see their concerns behind their reactions and validate those concerns. Even if they deny and reject you, be proactive and try to build on the relationship. Avoid pushing too much for acceptance. Also rehearse how you would set boundaries (i.e., firmly and politely) if they continue denying and attempt to match-make or change you.
Reassure them that relatives and family friends need not know yet that you are queer. Gradually come out to relatives that support you. Once parents see that there are relatives who are accepting, they might feel less isolated from their families.

When it comes to building materials, owners of property often meet with confusion, especially if an energy efficient home is what’s needed. Keeping the Australian code in mind, people often purchase wrong materials which are not appropriate. Here is some guidance which can be helpful when planning for an energy efficient home.
Windows can let in or leak away up to 40 percent of your home heating or cooling energy. Therefore, you need to look for WERS (Window Energy Rating Scheme) label on windows. These are certified labeling which can save up to 80 percent of energy. Choose double glazing and a timber or insulated frame for a high WERS rating. Whatever window, door or skylight you choose, be sure of the crucial energy star rating assessment. Assessing the building materials can automatically let you understand the best material appropriate for your house. Also think about window coverings such as pelmets, heavy curtains, blinds, shutters or external awnings.
If you are using timber for window frames, decking and/or flooring, make sure it comes from a certified sustainably managed forests. It includes FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council) timber and organic plantation pine treated with LOSP (light organic solvent preservative). Many plantation timbers are also available as composites made of sawdust and recycled plastic.
You don’t have freedom even when you choose the paint, especially if you are looking to achieve a perfect energy efficient house. The paint colours you choose may have an effect on lighting and heating levels. This is why, it is recommended to choose light colour for the interiors to improve daylight levels inside the house and reduce the need for artificial lighting during the day. Use low-emission paints to reduce toxic fumes. Some paints are also available that contain all-natural ingredients.
Identify building materials and appliances that can be re-used. These can be windows, doors, roofing tiles or anything. Make sure your builder has a waste recycling plan in place. Make a plan to minimise the waste and recycle leftover building materials to reduce landfill. You can also buy recycled building products for a construction work. These not only save energy but can also lead to considerable savings. Recycled products can also add charm and atmosphere to homes.
Remember, in the end, house energy rating assessments are indispensable to avert future problems and also to save a significant amount of money.

One of the most important things about tofu is its basic whole food nature. The vast majority of soy consumed in the U.S. comes from a highly processed form of soy, however, Tofu is produced with significantly less processing than most low-fat soymilks and soy burgers, it is a soy food that is much closer to a "whole foods" category than soy protein isolates and concentrates.
Tofu as a whole food soy product provides better cardiovascular support than dietary supplements containing isolated soy components. The most consistent soybean intake on blood fats has been a lowering of LDL cholesterol. Some studies show other positive impacts on blood fats, like the lowering of triglycerides and total cholesterol or the raising of HDL cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol) that is expected to contribute to a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease.
Many studies show genistein (an isoflavone phytonutrient in soy) can increase activity of a tumor suppressor protein and help trigger programmed cell death in cancer cells, and also help trigger cell cycle arrest (helping stop ongoing cancer cell activity). Genistein has also been shown to block the activity of protein kinases in a way that can help slow tumor formation, especially in the case of breast and prostate cancer.
There are some of the unique peptides (protein breakdown products) in soy that have been associated with obesity prevention and treatment. Some of these peptides have shown the ability to decrease synthesis of SREBPs (sterol regulatory element binding proteins), thereby helping decrease synthesis of certain fatty acids as well as the depositing of these fatty acids in fat cells.
Soy foods have been shown to lessen insulin resistance by increasing the synthesis of insulin receptors. Also, high levels of total soy intake (approximately 200 grams per day) have also been associated with decreased risk of type 2 diabetes.
Tofu is an excellent source of calcium and a very good source of manganese, copper, selenium, protein, and phosphorus. In addition, tofu is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, iron, magnesium, zinc, and vitamin B1. The following in-depth nutrition profile chart shows the nutrients for which tofu is either an excellent, very good, or good source.
