Based on the current world situation as nations battle terrorism, attempt to establish new democracies, and struggle to stem rising fears (real and imagined), Lawrence Harrison's latest book is perfectly timed. In The Central Liberal Truth: How Politics Can Change a Culture and Save It From Itself, Harrison draws on a three year research project examining the dynamics of cultural and political factors. His findings are sometimes controversial, but make interesting points to consider in today's changing world.
Harrison suggests that the values and culture of nations can either promote or prevent progress. He takes a basic view of progress that includes life, liberty, prosperity, education, justice, and health, as these are all better than their alternatives. In Harrison's project, he studied the cultural values of nations from India to China to Sweden to Botswana and compiled a list of 25 factors that influence a nation's progress. These factors include the extent to which people trust each other and women's roles in society. The author is straightforward and honest, suggesting that some religions even promote more progress than others. He also disagrees with George W. Bush's current policies in Iraq and Afghanistan, where illiteracy and compromise are scant, and therefore the nations are likely to resist democracy.
The book presents an interesting look at why certain nations lag behind others. Harrison holds the island of Hispaniola up for example, explaining the diversity between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. He also offers a series of guidelines for developing nations and minorities to improve their political, social, and financial standing. Harrison's previous educational associations with both Tufts and Harvard University, along with his employment with USAID missions certainly lend credence to his research. This book reads like a textbook of a research project, but it provides an interesting peek into why the world is the way it is, and how that possibly can be changed.

Adjuvant Tamoxifen for Women with ER-positive Breast Cancer: Is 10 years better than 5 years? The ATLAS Study.
Tamoxifen has been used since the 80s in the treatment of breast cancer. It is used in estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer, after breast surgery (adjuvant) and in metastatic breast cancer.
Currently the recommendations is to give adjuvant tamoxifen for 5 years. A study that was presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium and published simultaneously in The Lancet, showed that extending tamoxifen treatment to 10 years was superior than 5 years. Giving tamoxifen for 10 years reduced the risk of dying from breast cancer by almost one third.
Adjuvant Tamoxifen–Longer Against Shorter (ATLAS) enrolled 6,846 women and was conducted in 36 countries between 1996 and 2005. All women were diagnosed with estrogen receptor–positive breast cancer and had taken Tamoxifen for 5 years. About half of the women were randomly assigned to continue with 5 more years of tamoxifen (10 years total) and the other half to no more tamoxifen.
After 10 to 14 years of diagnosis there were 617 recurrences of cancer in the group taking 10 years of tamoxifen versus 711 recurrences in patients treated with 5 years of tamoxifen.
After 5 to 14 years of diagnosis the risk of dying from breast cancer was 12.2% for the 10-years users compared with 15.0% for the 5-year users.
The greatest benefit was seen after 10 to 14 years after diagnosis; women who took tamoxifen for 10 years had a 25% less risk of the cancer coming back and 29% lower risk of dying from breast cancer compared with those who had only 5 years of tamoxifen therapy.
Ten years of adjuvant tamoxifen extends survival in women who took ten year of tamoxifen compared to five years.
The benefit of ten years tamoxifen was seen 10 to 14 years after diagnosis.
The benefits of survival outweigh the risks, such as the small increase in endometrial cancer.
The results of ATLAS should be discussed in women who are candidate for adjuvant hormonal treatment.

Jucaraseps grandipes Bolet and Evans (2012) was a tiny elongate lizard with large feet. It nests with Eichstaettisaurus and shows many affinities with the much larger descendant Adriosaurus. Caldwell et al. (2014) report a likely Jurassic origin for snakes, so the origin of Jucaraseps likely goes back to the Triassic or Permian.
Aphanizocnemus libanensis (Dal Sasso and Pinna 1997; 12 in. long) was considered a dolichosaur and therefore a relative of snakes. The hands and feet are large relative to the limbs. Flattened phalanges suggest flippers or paddles. Aphanizocnemus was derived from a sister to Jucaraseps and nested basal to Adriosaurus and Pontosaurus.

Never before had physicians been required to treat so many and such extensive facial and head injuries. Shattered jaws, blown-off noses and lips and gaping skull wounds caused by modern weapons required innovative restorative procedures. Some of the best medical talent in Britain, France, Germany, Russia and Austria-Hungary devoted themselves to restoring the faces and lives of their countrymen during and after World War I.
Although body armour means soldiers are now better protected, it has altered injury patterns. Limbs now bear the brunt and the most common cause of potentially avoidable battlefield death is external haemorrhage.
we have provided products that are designed particularly to control massive haemorrhage in those areas of the body that are too proximal [close to the torso] for a tourniquet and where pressure through a dressing alone is not adequate. These injuries are in the junctional areas of the groin and axilla [armpit],” says [adviser for emergency medicine covering all three armed services – and honorary professor of emergency medicine at Birmingham university, Colonel Tim] Hodgetts.
Those parts of the body are most at risk because the arteries come closest to the skin. The new products, used in Iraq and Afghanistan, are topical haemostatic (to stop bleeding) agents for application directly to the wound.
But even that may not be fast enough, and so the search for a nanotech solution is mentioned as another emerging research area to help save the lives of soldiers.

There is some evidence that the twisting injury may not cause a chip fracture initially. However, it may injure the bone’s blood supply, leading to an area of the bone actually dying. This may explain some cases of OCD that appear without a well-defined history of a recent serious twisting injury.
How will the doctor know it’s OCD?
You will probably wear a bandage or dressing for a week following the procedure. The stitches are generally removed in 10 to 14 days. However, if your surgeon used sutures that dissolve, you won’t need to have the stitches taken out.
The physical therapist will choose exercises to help improve ankle motion and to get the muscles toned and active again. At first, emphasis is placed on exercising the ankle in positions and movements that don’t strain the healing part of the cartilage. As the program evolves, more challenging exercises are chosen to safely advance the ankles’ strength and function.
The physical therapist’s goal is to help you keep your pain under control, ensure safe weight bearing, and improve your strength and range of motion. When you are well underway, regular visits to the therapist’s office will end. Your therapist will continue to be a resource, but you will be in charge of doing your exercises as part of an ongoing home program.

February is National Pet Dental Health Month. More than 80 percent of adult dogs suffer from periodontal disease, making it the most common infectious disease in dogs.
Infection in the gums and bones that surround the teeth cause periodontal disease. The health risks of periodontal disease extend beyond bad breath and tooth loss. Every time a dog eats or chews, a stream of bacteria from the infection enters the bloodstream and can cause disease in other major organs such as the heart and the liver.
Severe periodontal disease can also be painful for many dogs, although they may not show it. They continue to eat even hard dry food by swallowing the pieces whole.
Several simple measures exist to prevent periodontal disease, and treatments are becoming more common to tackle severe periodontal disease.
While feeding dry kibble and using hard chew treats such as raw bones and rawhide do a great job at scrubbing the teeth, they can’t remove plaque below the gum line. That’s where daily brushing comes in.
Toothpaste for dogs comes in a variety of tasty flavors and differs from human toothpaste in that it can be safely swallowed. Toothbrushes specially shaped for effective brushing of a dog’s teeth are available, as are finger brushes. Dental liquids also can be added to the dog’s water to help keep plaque at bay.
Even with daily brushing, most dogs will still need periodic professional teeth cleaning just like humans. Every annual veterinarian exam should include a check of the dog’s teeth and mouth. The veterinarian should recommend a professional cleaning when needed. Although putting dogs under general anesthesia does have some risk, periodontal disease is a greater threat to their health.
For dental care at home, Club Canine offers the Oxyfresh brand () of pet oral health care products, and your veterinarian may also provide recommendations.

Using art can enable the individual to connect, possibly for the first time, to an emotion or an event that has not been thought of for decades. It also can stimulate emotional healing through the connections of the deep and innermost feelings.
I have first-hand experience with the benefits of art. I have been painting for years.
Describe your experience during the visualization. What images, if any, did you see? If this was the first time that you did guided imagery, how did you enjoy it?
How do you react to this piece of artwork now? Does it reflect what you felt or saw? Elaborate on how this artwork makes you feel.
As you look at the drawing now, what else comes to mind? Would you change anything, or did anything happen while in the process of the art that changed for you?
While creating the artwork, did any thoughts of which you had been unaware come to mind? Were there any new connections to the meditation and the artwork?
Look at the colors. Do they reflect different emotions that you felt? Overall, how did this experience feel?
As individuals go from stimulating their imagination to producing an image, the frontal lobe of the brain is activated. The Motor Cortex, parietal lobe, and occipital lobe also are encouraged. Further, the reticular formation (arousal) is stimulated by the identification with the process of making art and building self-esteem.
Individuals feel good about themselves when they are participating in an activity that is meaningful.

Knee injuries are relatively common and seen on a regular basis by physiotherapists. The knee consists of joints, meniscus/ cartilage, ligaments and muscles. These structures can be affected through general wear & tear/ degeneration, biomechanical abnormalities, overuse, trauma & sports injuries. People of all ages and all walks of life could sustain a knee injury, not just sports people. Children going through growth spurts could also develop knee pain, especially around the patella/ knee cap. This occurs where there is stretching/ growing of the tendons which attach onto the knee cap.
Physios will initially try assess what the main cause of knee pain is. The right plan of action is crucial to effectively treat acute knee pain, with measures in place to prevent or limit further incidences. Assessing the hip and ankle is also very important. The knee joint never works in isolation so looking at how the joints above and below the knee are functioning should be part of the assessment process.
Read below to understand a bit of the anatomy as well as the mechanism of injury of the more common knee injuries.

Since the mars planet was discovered, the scientists have been looking for the evidence of water on martial surface. In present days the water exists on the planet but almost entirely as ice and very few quantities are present in atmosphere. Not everywhere the ice can be seen on mars planet but only visible at the north polar ice cap. It is also found that a large quantity of water ice is present beneath the permanent carbon dioxide ice cap at the southern pole of mars planet. Not only this, it is also identified that more than five million cubic kilometers of ice which is sufficient to cover entire planet to the depth of 35 meter have been identified. And even more water ice is estimated to be locked in the deep surface of the planet.

While around 18,000 new animal, insect or plant species are discovered yearly, other species are on the edge of extinction. This includes some that are newly discovered and others that have been around in some form for millions of years. The African continent alone has more than four large mammals whose populations are, for the most part, declining at a worrisome pace. They include the gorilla, elephant, lion and rhino. The latter three are particularly in danger due to illegal poaching, with byproducts typically being exported for medicinal or other consumer use and part of a multi-billion dollar industry. Following is an infographic that speaks for itself. Thank you to Super Scholar for bringting this to our attention.

There are lots of cherry trees scattered about London and Britain generally; it is a very popular tree indeed, because it is quite small and makes a nice garden tree. It is often found it churchyards. However, most cherry trees that you see originate from Japan. This one, the bird cherry, is native to Britain, though very rare these days. It is called the bird cherry because birds like the fruit; they are edible to humans, but our refined palates find them a little bitter. During the middle ages when the Black Death was rife, it was thought that the bark from this tree had spiritual properties which could ward off the plague.
Perhaps the reason why this tree is in decline is because its fruit does not taste as good as that of the wild cherry, and it does not bloom as beautifully as the Japanese cherry, and so it is caught somewhere in the middle.
alternate; veins: opposite; oval with a point; about half the size of normal (Japanese) cherry trees..
flowers: April/May; white; pretty, but not elaborate.
smooth and metallic with horizontal ridges.
grows to about 20 metres sometimes more than one trunk; compressed.
general: quite rare, especially in London, though there is also one in Linconln's Inn fields.
is the second furthest along, to the end.

Poet, art critic, translator, and editor are just a few words that could be used to describe Edouard Roditi (1910–1992). Born in Paris in 1910 to American parents, Roditi was educated in England and began writing and translating at a very young age. He was seventeen when his first poem was published and his poems were experimental and rich with imagery. Roditi’s poetry often confronted anti-semitism and included Judaic themes. In Paris Roditi was closely associated with the surrealist movement and created the first English translation of Andre Breton’s Surrealist Manifesto. Roditi was an art critic for the French journal L’Arche for 30 years and was well-known for his interviews with modernist artists such as Marc Chagall, Hannah Höch, and Joan Miró. He lived most of his life in Paris but also spent some time in the US and served for the US government as a translator during the Nuremberg war crimes trials. During the Red Scare Roditi was accused of being a communist and was later fired for being homosexual. Roditi spoke seven languages and during his lifetime he was the author or editor of over 25 volumes of poetry, fiction, and criticism.

Definition - What does Auditor mean?
An auditor is a person or a company that carries out audits. The primary responsibility of the auditor during an audit is the collection of evidence, which will be used to determine how well audit criteria are being met. In this regard, auditors need to be objective, impartial, competent, and independent.
In addition, the ISO 19011, a guidance document used for auditing management systems, differentiates between internal and external auditors.
Internal auditors, generally an organization’s own employees, perform first-party audits. Meanwhile, external auditors, who are not the organization's own employees, perform second- and third-party audits.

In 1992 after lightening struck the Yankee Rowe reactor in western Massachusetts, concerned citizens organized with the goal of educating themselves and their communities about the potential dangers of nuclear energy. Citizens Awareness Network (CAN) worked to reveal the hidden costs of nuclear power on the health and safety of communites surrounding a reactor, and as a result of their efforts Yankee Rowe was pressured into closing down in 1993. When CAN learned that much of the nuclear waste removed from the site was shipped to a town in South Carolina, the group was outraged that the waste which hurt their community would now be imposed on another community. Once again they were moved into action, this time transforming from a small local group into a regional group with multiple chapters. Today, with seven chapters in five states, CAN continues to uncover the hazards of nuclear energy, proposing instead the use of clean energy produced locally.
This large collection documents every facet of the group, and includes publications, financial records, research files, correspondence, and realia such as t-shirts, bumper stickers and buttons.

A stavropegial (also spelled stavropigial or stavropighial) institution, usually a monastery, is one which falls directly under the omophorion of the primate of a church rather than under the local diocesan bishop.
The Greek term σταυροπηγιον literally means "fixture of a cross," and referred to crosses used to mark boundary points. In the liturgical context, a stavropegion was a cross fixed by the bishop on the side of a new church. The term came to be employed mainly to refer to monasteries which owed canonical allegiance to the Patriarch of Constantinople.
In a number of Byzantine documents from the 10th to 14th centuries, the term stavropegial was used roughly synonymously with patriarchal when referring to monastic communities of this sort, though in some cases, the two terms were distinguished, with stavropegial referring only to those monasteries which had actually been founded by the patriarch.
Stavropegial monasteries in the Byzantine period acknowledged the authority of the patriarch as their bishop, commemorated him in liturgical services, and paid him the kanonikon, an ecclesiastical tax which provided a significant source of income for the patriarchate.

Education. In the united states education is considered a key to success however not everyone in the US has the opportunity to access higher education. Thousands of undocumented students graduates high school but cannot attend higher education due to lack of basic resources like fundings, legal residents and documentation. I feel like education should not be a privilege but a human right, everybody who resides in the US should be able to access higher education it will not only benefit them but it is a way for them to find a way to give back to their communities and importantly their families.
– DACA- deferred action for child arrivals a executive order by president Obama passed to protect undocumented students from deportation and be able to work in the US. While in the trump administration or during his campaign he promised that he will revoke this act many students fear that they are going to be deported while in school. A student at UC berkeley quoted that “If Trump gets rid of DACA, they have our information, our address, and all of that stuff, they can easily find us and deport us”.

The LA Times has relaunched their Homicide Report map and database of all homicides in Los Angeles County since 2007, listing by neighborhood the names of all victims and some facts about their deaths, including descriptions of suspects.
One thing I noticed is that gunshot homicides predominate in gang war neighborhoods, such as Compton. In contrast, the tonier the neighborhood, the lower the proportions of gunshots and the higher the proportion of "stabbing" and "blunt force" homicides. At the highest levels of society, "other" is the homicide method a la mode. For example, please check out the homicide log for the Beverly Crest neighborhood (the part of Los Angeles in the Hollywood Hills above Beverly Hills).
The website was created in January 2007 by Jill Leovy, a veteran Times’ writer, as a reported blog. Leovy, the author of nearly all the unsigned posts from 2007, launched the report as a way to balance the crime coverage of the Los Angeles Times. As a practical necessity, printed editions of The Times, like those of other metropolitan newspapers, give the most attention to the most unusual, and thus statistically marginal, homicide cases.
Why does the Homicide Report give the race of victims and suspects?The Homicide Report includes information on race or ethnicity of each homicide victim, as well as the name, gender and age and the time, place and manner of death. A number of readers have asked why race is included. Some have criticized the practice.
Racial information was once routinely included in news stories about crimes, but in recent decades, newspapers and other media outlets stopped mentioning suspects' or victims' race or ethnicity because of public criticism. Newspapers came to embrace the idea that such information is irrelevant to the reporting of crimes and may unfairly stigmatize racial groups.
The Homicide Report departs from this rule in the interest of presenting the most complete and accurate demographic picture of who is dying in homicides in Los Angeles County.

“Because humans live on the surface of the earth, geography is always important. Because every ancient Israelite, humble or great, lived in close and intimate relationship with the land, if we wish to understand ancient Israel, we need to learn ancient Israel’s geography. Canaan was the Land of Promise God gave to Israel through the events recorded in Joshua; if we want to understand the message of Joshua, we need to study both the physical and the human geography of ancient Israel God’s grand plan of redemption for the human race may transcend both time and space, but God has so far worked it out in a very definite, limited place through a sequence of events in history. To understand God's plan and its fulfillment, it helps to understand the timeline and the map” (p. 33).

The first step toward building a plant-based kitchen is cleaning out the pantry and refrigerator. I recommend you toss or donate (local food banks will take unopened items) all of those food items that are not healthy or considered plant-based. To figure out what stays and what goes, you must understand a food label. Here are my tips for deciding if a product is worthy of remaining on your shelves.
Begin by reading the ingredients. Don’t believe what is on the front of the food label. The front of a package is nothing more than a clever advertisement.
Avoid all oils. Common ones include butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, lard, palm oil, milk solids shortening, hydrogenated fat and oils, partially hydrogenated fats and oils, monoglycerides, diglycerides, and lecithin.
Grains should be whole grains; look for the word “whole” in front of the ingredient. Avoid the following terms: wheat flour, enriched wheat flour, white flour, fortified, enriched, or unbleached wheat flour.
Ingredient lists should be short and simple. Less is more.
Serving size: Make sure the serving size is reasonable.
Fat calories: To find a percentage of fat calories, divide the fat calories by the total calories to get a percent of calories from fat. Do not exceed 15%–20% of calories from fat.
Sodium: Look for a 1:1 ratio of sodium to calories. If the calories are 100, the sodium amount (in milligrams) should be very close to that number.
In next week’s post, we’ll go over a list of items every new plant-based cook should have in her pantry and freezer.

The biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a lung-associated mesenchyme from an initial condition to its mature state. This process begins with the formation of lung-associated mesenchyme and ends with the mature structure. Lung-associated mesenchyme is the tissue made up of loosely connected mesenchymal cells in the lung.

The purpose of preventive dentistry is to prevent the development of oral diseases. Prevention programs include dental hygiene treatments and medical checks from specialized dentists. Prevention is essential for maintaining good oral health throughout life.
Conservative dentistry's goal is to treat oral health problems, avoiding any extractions. It is used to restore areas affected by decay or other conditions, injuries and teeth malformations. When there is damaged tissue, it is cleaned and sealed without modifying the remaining part of the tooth.
At Enèresi, we believe in conservative and preventive dentistry, and that is why we closely monitor our patients to prevent the development of diseases caused by poor prevention. At the same time, we treat oral problems following the practice of conservative dentistry.
Conservative and preventive dentistry is appropriate for anyone who wants to make a periodic inspection of their oral health and needs to treat small problems with minimal intervention (cavities, trauma, etc.).
We have a specialized periodontics department that attends to chronic gum problems with the latest technology.
We use behavioural therapy techniques that create positive motivations in children. This results in the children viewing the appointments at the centre as part of a game.

On Sunday, June 7, 2015, the Adult Sunday School Class reviewed Exodus 24:10-25:7.
Exodus 24 describes the grand worship service that followed the giving of the law and the book of the covenant. Verses 10-11 state that the elders saw God and ate and drank. Class discussion on the idea of seeing God concluded that God was not seen in his full essence else the elders would have died. See Exodus 33:20 and John 1:18. After this event the elders enjoyed a communion meal likely as a result of the peace offerings noted in verse 5.
In verse 12 Moses is commanded to make the fifth ascent on the mountain where he will receive the tablets of the law. This ascent will last 40 days and include receiving the design specifications for the tabernacle. Chapters 25 through 31 describe what was spoken by God to Moses during this ascent. Moses’ return is not noted before 32:15.
At the beginning of Exodus 25, God speaks to Moses who solicits contribution of materials to construct the tabernacle. These contributions were to be voluntary, expressing the gratitude of the people. Later, the workers ask that the contributions cease due to more than enough being made available. See Ex 36:3-7.

Every week in Franklin County, more than three families experience the death of a baby before his or her first birthday.
Franklin County’s infant mortality rate for 2013 is as high as the national rate from the early 1990s.
The infant mortality rate for black babies is two-and-a-half times that of white babies in Franklin County.
Not only are too many babies dying before they reach their first birthdays, too many – 13 percent of babies in Franklin County – are born too early. Disorders related to prematurity and low birth weights are the leading causes of infant deaths, but those same disorders can cause ongoing challenges for babies who survive.
This stark reality led to the formation of the Greater Columbus Infant Mortality Task Force. This Task Force was charged with developing a community plan to reduce infant mortality by 40 percent and cut the racial disparity gap in half.
Over the last six months, the Task Force members have extensively studied the evidence on what works and the experience of other communities. They have considered how these practices and approaches can best be adapted to address the unique challenges – and build on the distinct strengths – of our own community. The Task Force also asked the community for its ideas about how we can turn the tide. Below are key findings from this process and an overview of the plan and recommendations.

Abstract: Since the energy crisis in 2007, energy performance of buildings is gradually becoming an issue in Ghana. The authors of this paper used simulation as a tool to analyse three conventional resi-dential building types, in order to see the effects of orientation on energy performance, specifi-cally on cooling loads. The three building types; a single storey square block, a single storey rec-tangular block and a two storey square block with different thermal properties were modelled and simulated. Alternate north angles were used and results compared for the best orientation resulting in minimum cooling loads in the climatic context of Kumasi, Ghana. The results on the rectangular building indicated the best orientation as being north and south. No particular ori-entation could be recommended for the single and two storey building (with square plans) and this showed that the influence of other factors such as windows, configuration and function of spaces, and building mass directly affected cooling loads and eventually orientation.

CREAR was officially inaugurated on 25 November 2011, as an umbrella consortium, with charter members representing the following institutions: University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA; the Service of Hydrography and Navigation of the Amazon; the Peruvian Amazon Research Institute; the National Meteorology and Hydrology Service; the National Peruvian Amazon University; and the Scientific University of Peru. CREAR´s planning and administrative activities are carried out in the city of Iquitos, Peru, located at an altitude of about 100 meters above sea level and 120 km downstream of the confluence of the Ucayali (meandering channel) and the Marañon (anabranching channel), the confluence precisely where the Amazon River is born. CREAR´s environment provides everyone involved with its activities excellent opportunities -- not only to know the largest city in the Peruvian Amazon (500,000 inhabitants approximately), but also to observe the Amazon river dynamics and to experience first-hand the Amazonian ecosystems.
The Peruvian tropical rainforest is the largest and most pristine in the world, providing many functions essential to sustain life on Earth: oxygen production; carbon dioxide sequestration; nitrogen fixation; temperature regulation; air purification; and one of the most biologically diverse areas on our planet.
The Amazon region has served as a natural laboratory for multi-disciplinary basic and applied research on a wide variety of topics. But there's much more to do, and opportunities abound. The CREAR institutions are crossing boundaries and initiating extensive collaboration on topics such as hydrology, climate change, river hydraulics, geomorphology, social, health-related issues, navigation, interconnections, ecology, hydrography, and economics, among others.

Broken teeth can be extremely stressful for the person who is experiencing it because they are usually accompanied by a loud cracking noise and a great deal of pain. In order to cope with a cracked or broken tooth until you can get to the dentist, you are going to need to reduce the pain. Here are some tips for reducing the amount of pain that you experience.
One way to reduce the pain of a broken tooth is to allow time to reduce the tooth's pain to a dull throbbing feeling. This will happen on its own. However, you can constantly exacerbate the pain by eating and drinking the wrong foods. You will want to stay away from foods that are extremely hot, as well as foods that are extremely cold. Because the protection that your teeth once afforded you has been compromised, the extreme temperatures of the food and drink will be able to reach the sensitive root directly and cause a high level of pain. You will also want to avoid foods that have a high amount of sugar and a high amount of acid because both of these can also cause pain to the root of the tooth.
After your tooth has been cracked, you will need to go into your tooth very gently with floss and get rid of any food particles. If your tooth is in the front of your mouth, you might want to consider using a mirror in order to make sure that you are getting all of the particles. By removing any food particles that are pressing on the root of the tooth, you can reduce the overall pain of the broken tooth.
You can also consider using eugenol, which is the oil made from cloves, to provide a slight local anesthetic to the area where the broken tooth resides. To use the oil of cloves, which you can find at most large grocery stores and any health foods store, soak a piece of cotton in the liquid. Then, gently press the soaked cotton to your tooth for a few minutes, allowing the liquid to reach the root of the tooth and apply its anesthetic properties.
For more information, talk to your dentist. To restore your broken tooth, you will need to go to a dentist as quickly as possible.

The use of superficial fluid extraction systems is one of the best extraction techniques. These systems use supercritical carbon dioxide as the solvent for the process. This solvent has two key benefits. In the absence of oxygen and at low temperatures, it has the best penetration matrix and low viscosity. Therefore, if one is extracting heat sensitive and oxidized products, the system guarantees the best results. More to this, the process is relatively fast and requires no organic solvents. This is contrary to other extraction methods. That said, here are a few aspects to know about superficial fluid extraction systems (SFE).
The main components of a superficial fluid extraction system include an automatic back pressure regulator valve and supercritical carbon dioxide pump. Besides, the system comprises of a co-solvent pump. If you are looking for supercritical co2 extractor for sale, be prepared to examine their unique properties before buying one. Ideally, the sample to be extracted determines the size of the system. More to this, during the extraction process, certain parameters must be present. These parameters include pressure, temperature, solvent and co-solvent. The ratios of these constraints are adjusted to suit the sample being processed.
This system is also a perfect solution for analyzing residual pesticides components both in soil and food samples. However, this process is versatile since supercritical carbon dioxide is used during the extraction process.
Some of the features that make this system the best include simplicity in operation, quick extraction, and environmentally friendly. In addition, it is cheap, no trace pesticides are available, and blockages and contaminants are reduced significantly.
The extraction process uses either 10 ml or 50 m. A 10 ml container is ideal when one is analyzing the functionality of the process. On the other hand, 50 ml container is ideal if one is interested in the sample volume and requires sensitivity analysis. One of the benefits of the 50 ml container is that it is efficient.
This extraction procedure is ideally suited for extraction of active ingredients. Also, it is possible to extract medicinal constituents, flavors natural products, pharmaceuticals and fat-soluble vitamins. Also, SFE system can be used to eliminate unwanted products in the extraction of various substances. Finally, this system can act as a precursor to the processing of samples before they are separated using various chemicals.

Major East Coast nor’easter to affect NJ?
Will a very powerful East Coast nor’easter affect New Jersey next week, possibly bringing snow and other impacts?
The potential impacts are uncertain at this point, as the forecast needs to be refined state-by-state, according to the Weather Prediction Center.
National Weather Service forecast discussions also stress the uncertainty this far in advance of the storm.
A bomb is the rapid intensification of a cyclone (low pressure), with surface pressure expected to fall by at least 24 millibars in 24 hours, according to the weather service.
“Some of the deepest extratropical cyclones in modern record-keeping have affected the contiguous United States during the month of March,” according to the Weather Prediction Center discussion.
Extratropical cyclones include nor’easters, which are storms that generate winds from the northeast.
“One such perturbation is (forecast) to grow vigorously as it lifts up the Southeast coast Tuesday morning, then bomb off the mid-Atlantic coast Tuesday night when the jet (stream) strengthens via an injection of Arctic air from the Midwest,” the discussion says.
Many forecast models deepen the ocean storm below 970 millibars near the Atlantic benchmark of 40N/70W Wednesday morning, the discussion says.
For Neptune, the National Weather Service forecast calls for a chance of rain and snow on Tuesday, snow likely on Tuesday night and a chance of snow on Wednesday.

A simple polar bear drawing can make a very cute holiday card. You can swap that hat out for a regular stocking cap the rest of the year. I love using this easy drawing as a watercolor project. Try using real watercolor paper so the colors are bright and the crayon resist for the snow �... 2/10/2011�� The entirety of snow itself is not completely white either, as loose snowflakes will also cast shadows onto the snow, so make sure to apply very light uneven shading to the rest of the area as well. Looking at some pictures will also help you draw it.
I will probably be making more lessons on some pretty popular Disney Princesses because they are so fun to draw, and they make easy lessons for folks to tackle.
A snowflake is a single ice crystal that has achieved a sufficient size, and may have amalgamated with others, then falls through the Earth's atmosphere as snow. Each flake nucleates around a dust particle in supersaturated air masses by attracting supercooled cloud water droplets, which freeze and accrete in crystal form.
In 1934, Walt Disney announced he was creating the first full-length animated movie. Dubbed �Disney�s Folly,� Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs went on to become a major box office hit, drawing a standing ovation the night it premiered in 1937.

The Virginia Oyster Shell Recycling Program, a collaborative program of the VCU Rice Rivers Center, is adding new partners to make it even easier for the public to recycle shells. Harris Teeter, LLC of Matthews, North Carolina and Sam Rust Seafood, Inc., of Hampton, Virginia will support public drop-off locations at 17 Harris Teeter stores in Virginia starting March 21, with oyster shells dedicated to restoring oyster habitats in the Virginia portion of the Chesapeake Bay.
"This is a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate that partnerships are the key to bay restoration,” said Len Smock, Ph.D., director of the VCU Rice Rivers Center.
The new shell drop-off locations, which span from Virginia Beach to Charlottesville along the Interstate 64 corridor and include Suffolk, Portsmouth and Chesapeake, will help ensure shells are returned to the Chesapeake. The program is actively recycling shells in Charlottesville, Richmond, Hampton, Newport News and Lancaster County and collected more than 60,000 pounds of shells in 2015. The public can visit participating Harris Teeter’s seafood departments to drop off their used shells.
Sam Rust Seafood has focused on local and regional seafood since the inception of the company more than 75 years ago.
Oyster shell recycling provides local businesses and residents the opportunity to promote the protection and remediation of the Chesapeake Bay by becoming involved in the restoration of wild, native oysters. Recycled shells are used to create a natural hard substrate to which new oysters can attach.
Oysters create their own habitat and provide physical, chemical and biological benefits. As filter feeders, oysters filter up to 50 gallons of water per day by filtering phytoplankton, suspended sediment and nutrient pollution. This filtering capacity plays a significant part in the clarity of the water column, allowing aquatic grasses to grow and provide critical habitat for young fish and crabs.
Todd Haymore, secretary of agriculture and forestry, said the partnership will enhance Virginia’s reputation in the oyster market.
“As the oyster capital of the East Coast and the third-largest seafood producer in the nation, Virginia stands to gain significantly from a program such as this that will increase the wild oyster population, which benefits both the health of the bay and Virginia’s watermen,” Haymore said.

The lace bug injures plants by sucking juices from the undersides of leaves. In some cases it first infests the tender foliage of the target plant in the spring. Damage can be seen into late spring or early summer. Should the undersides of leaves show a reddish orange discoloration, suspect this pest. Or if the undersides are spotted with brown excrement that looks like dots of varnish, it’s lacebugs. The upper side of the leaf is marked by numerous whitish specks like those due to leafhoppers and red spider mites on other plants. Or the top surfaces take on a mottled appearance much as if they had been sprinkled with white pepper. Injury is prominent when plants are in full sun, and the shrubs take on a yellow cast. Leaves on some plants may drop prematurely.

Underwater mines and explosives, left in ports and harbours after World War II, can still pose a threat to subsea pipelines. In case of an accidental explosion, or even during controlled detonation, such explosives can cause significant damage to subsea pipelines. To assess the safety of pipelines exposed to an underwater explosion, finite element analyses are performed to predict the transient response of the pipeline to an acoustic pressure shock wave.
This type of problem is characterized by a strong coupling between the structural response of the pipe and the acoustic pressure on the wetted interface between the pipe surface and the surrounding seawater. The spherical pressure wave induced by an underwater explosion is characterized by a very steep wave front, where the maximum pressure is attained over an extremely short rise time. The pressure then drops off exponentially over a significantly longer period of time. As a result, the structural behaviour is a combination of a long time response, dominated by an added mass effect (low frequency), a short time response, governed by radiation damping (high frequency), and an intermediate time-frequency response, where both added mass and radiation damping effects are present.
In this paper, a finite element model is presented to simulate the transient response of a subsea pipeline subjected to an underwater explosion. The close coupling between acoustic pressure and structural response gives rise to numerical challenges like the accurate formulation and representation of the shock wave, the mesh requirements for the acoustic domain, and the position of the surface based absorbing radiation boundaries. An explicit dynamic solver is used to tackle these challenges, and to predict the behaviour of subsea pipelines exposed to an underwater explosion. The numerical results are compared to published experimental data, and can be used to assess the safety of submerged pipelines in the vicinity of explosives.

You may have recently seen a viral video doing the rounds on social media showing babies wearing what are in essence, floating rings around their necks. The video shows babies seemingly very relaxed and swimming unaided without adults presents in a pool or bath.
Two of the UK’s major swimming organisations, STA and Birthlight have published an article regarding these and we wanted to make you aware of the content. They are urging parents to seriously think about the potential dangers of using floating neck rings on babies, a new report warns about the damaging effect this aquatic activity could have on your children’s physical, neurological and emotional development.
These floatation devices are being marketed as a so called spa for babies, where parents or caregivers are watching from the side of the pool without knowing the potential risk they are running in doing so, leaving a baby hanging vertically by their necks using a semi rigid foam or plastic structure.
An extract from the article is as follows “Kaylë Burgham, STA’s Aquatics Manager who promotes aquatic activities that best support infant development, said: While disengaging from the world in floating tanks can be wonderfully relaxing for stressed adults; this is not what babies want or need – physically or emotionally.
This isolated activity completely goes against the very essence of baby swimming, which is human contact: bonding with your child so they can explore the water in a safe, relaxed, fun environment, she added.
Francoise Freedman, the founder of Birthlight and one of the world’s leading experts on baby swimming says: The water is wonderful for expanding babies’ opportunities to explore the reflexes, movement patterns and pathways for sensory and motor development. These babies being placed in floating rings are missing out on what the water can uniquely offer to promote and mediate a dynamic connection between parents and babies.
Plus there are the potential risks linked to the frequent use of a neck device that claims total safety and apparent comfort for babies, yet deprives them of the freedom to move which we now know can have long term implications, explains Francoise.
Co-author of the report, Shawn Tomlinson, Birthlight and STA baby swimming tutor, says further: A neck ring creates a vacuum where the baby is incapacitated and cannot connect with anyone or anything. There are no safe boundaries to touch or feel. Self-expression through body language, which the water ideally facilitates, is lost because movements are restricted.

According to the General Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a DUI conviction results in the person being on probation. The duration of probation can last up to two years, and while on it the driver must meet certain requirements such as a driver alcohol education program and possibly an alcohol rehab program.
NFI Massachusetts states that alcohol education programs are designed to lower the risk of substance abuse and future DUIs by increasing awareness about alcohol and its negative effects as well as helping to change behaviors that lead to bad decisions. Licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the topics focus not only on driving under the influence but also how substance use can lead to other life problems. There are two programs - one for first-time offenders and one for second offenders.
The first offender program consists of 40 hours. They include an intake and discharge session, two hours of MADD, two self-help meetings and 32 hours of group sessions. The program for second offenders is longer and more intense, and it assesses whether the participant needs additional treatment. Along with 52 weeks of treatment and 30 self-help meetings, there are random breathalyzer and urine tests ordered.

Water Damage - Covered or Not?
A number of things can cause water damage to a home and it's important to know whether they're covered by your insurance policy. Some water damage may be covered and other may not be. Generally, you need an incident to invoke coverage rather than something gradual due to lack of maintenance.
However, some incidents are specifically exempt from homeowner policies such as floods. A flood can be described as rising water due to overflow of inland or tidal waters or unusual and rapid accumulation or runoff of surface water from any source.
Homes in designated high-risk flood areas with mortgages from federally regulated or insured lenders are required to have flood insurance.
Even if you don't live in a dedicated flood zone, you could be affected by flood damage. Review your policy about water damage and call your insurance agent to get a better understanding. Ask if you need to purchase additional coverage or separate flood insurance along with other questions.
Flood insurance can be purchased for the building and the contents. The average flood insurance policy costs about $600 per year. For more information, see the National Flood Insurance Program.

The current policy and public debate on the overall topic of entrepreneurship pays little attention to a more specific and developing property of entrepreneurship such as the emergence of an entrepreneur. This study examines the emergence of entrepreneurs through their behavioural interaction amongst one another and their environment. As a research methodology, agent based modelling was adopted for this research over system dynamics because, individual interactions (behavioural reactions/responses) between each entity and the immediate universe (environment) is the crucial unit for determination of the research results. In order to correctly capture this concept, interactions in the forms of personality trait attributes, social networking, technological acquaintance, environment (niche) and previous know-how (prior knowledge) were considered as the behaviours of study using agent based model. To achieve this, these entities were broken into their sub attributes in Bayesian probability model to provide statistical data for the behavioural analysis and a NetLogo simulation tool was used to reproduce a visual behavioural pattern of the agents (entrepreneurs) within an artifitial universe. It is this process of using simulation to study entrepreneurial behaviour that is called “Simuprenuership” within this study. The emergent patterns and behaviours implies that, entrepreneurship is an emergent process that takes form during and within the interactions between the agents and the environment. This suggest that variations in the smallest attributes of the agents could completely result in an unpredictable emergence. Hence, discernment process is not suuficient to explain entrepreneurship as in the literature. therefore, there is a necessity to move from cognition, illumination or insightful way of entrepreneurial thinking, to a more holistic and evolutionary system of thinking, this study adopted an emergent system of thinking. This infers that entrepreneurial ideas and opportunities emerge from a mindset that is a system function of entrepreneurial qualities, expertise, and knowledge. Hence, I presume that entrepreneurship is not 'flat' but instead emerges from a dynamic procedure.

Far from being immortal, most cancer cells seem unable to multiply limitlessly and spread throughout the body.
Dot Bennett of St George’s University of London and colleagues found that only four of 37 skin cancer samples they examined displayed the supposed hallmark of cancer. “We thought they’d all be immortal, but they weren’t,” she says.
By studying the molecular profiles of the cancer cells as they grew in the lab, the team found that many appeared to have hit a “telomere crisis” and stopped dividing. Telomeres are the caps that protect the ends of chromosomes and they shorten every time a cell divides. In a telomere crisis, the tips become so short that the cell mistakes them for DNA breaks and tries to repair them, generating freak cells that die or become dormant.
The team found that the few cancer cells that are immortal activate telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), a part of the telomerase enzyme that rebuilds telomeres so they avoid a telomere crisis.
Normally, TERT is active only in sperm or egg cells, so looking for it in a tumour could tell doctors whether the cells are immortal and more likely to spread, helping them decide on the best treatment.
Last week, Cancer Research UK launched a trial to stop pancreatic cancer spreading with a vaccine composed of fragments of TERT. The body’s immune system would recognise the TERT as foreign and mobilise to attack it, bringing all pancreatic cancer cells with active TERT into the firing line too.
A vaccine that acts in a similar way against acute myelogenous leukaemia is being tested by Geron of Menlo Park, California, which has been developing anti-cancer treatments based on telomerase for some time.
Geron also has two major trials under way in breast cancer and non-small cell lung cancer to test imetelstat, a drug that blocks the activity of TERT.

Sparrowhawk is keystroke logging (keylogger) software for FreeBSD and other Unix terminals. It is designed to output logged keystrokes in a unified format.
Keystroke logging, often referred to as keylogging or keyboard capturing, is the action of recording (logging) the keys pressed on a keyboard, typically covertly, so that the person using the keyboard is unaware that their actions are being monitored. Keyloggers can be used to intercept typed information, login credentials and other sensitive information, before it is encrypted and transmitted.
SparrowHawk is a kernel Based keystroke logger. It operates on the target machine by obtaining root access to hide itself in the OS and intercepts keystrokes that pass through the kernel. Operating at the kernel level makes SparrowHawk difficult to detect, especially for user-mode applications that don't have root access.
FreeBSD is a free and open source Unix-like operating system descended from Research Unix via the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). It is a direct descendant of BSD, which was historically also called "BSD Unix" or "Berkeley Unix". The first version of FreeBSD was released in 1993, and today FreeBSD is the most widely used open-source BSD distribution, accounting for more than three-quarters of all installed systems running open-source BSD derivatives.

It is common knowledge that excessive social media usage isn’t good for anyone. Teenage anxiety and depression is on the rise while childhood popularity contests have moved to the online arena. The constant lure of ‘likes’ translates not only to a person’s initial popularity but also to the pressure to sustain it. The associated brain pattern is seen with other addictive behaviours such as eating chocolate or gambling. However social media is an essential part of our modern-day world and so how do we optimise its usage whilst minimising the potential harm it might cause?
During this workshop we will look at how social media affects a young person and how we can help him/her develop a healthy relationship with the online world, preventing negative, detrimental patterns forming.

Truk, otherwise known as Chuuk, consists of seven major island groups lying within the Eastern Caroline Islands, about 617 miles southeast of Guam and 3,262 miles southwest of Hawaii. The total land mass of Chuuk state, including the outer islands, is approximately 77 square miles.
Truk, also known as Chuuk, is a scuba diving paradise that draws wreck diving enthusiasts from around the world to see its numerous, virtually intact sunken ships. The shipwrecks and remains are sometimes referred to as the “Ghost Fleet of Truk Lagoon”. Scattered mainly around the Dublon, Eten, Fefan and Uman islands within the Truk group, a number of the shipwrecks lie in crystal clear waters less than fifteen metres (49 ft) below the surface. In waters devoid of normal ocean currents, divers can easily swim across decks littered with gas masks and depth charges and below deck can be found evidence of human remains. In the massive ships’ holds are the remnants of fighter aircraft, tanks, bulldozers, railroad cars, motorcycles, torpedoes, mines, bombs, boxes of munitions, radios, plus thousands of other weapons, spare parts, and other artifacts. Of special interest is the wreck of the submarine I-169 Shinohara which was lost when diving to avoid the bombing. The submarine had participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941.

After satisfying the requirements of specific laws, people could put their work under the copyright protection. In this case, they should be able to present evidence that they have created something unique on a particular date. Without copyright protection, third parties could copy the work for their purposes. Each draft should be marked with date and time stamp, so ownership of the website content can be proven during a dispute. Many people create their website from scratch, so, it is a good idea for them to put the proper notice. This indicates that we own the copyright. If we develop the content by ourselves, it could be quite consuming to do.
Website owners should know which element of the website that can be copyrighted. It is important to keep the record all of the early drafts and subsequent revisions when creating the unique content. This could include drawing and handwritten concepts. Other than standard content, database, computer program and source could should also qualify or standard protection. Other than registering the copyright with specific agencies, there should also be reliable and trusted third parties that can verify the ownership. It means that during a dispute, others won’t be able to easily cast doubt upon the credibility of the ownership. On the other hand, the copyright can be used against external parties who copy the content for their own purposes.
However, this can still be quite complicated, that if the work has been altered enough so it superficially looks dissimilar. It’s a factor that we should keep in mind when we create a website. Copyright will allow us to find others liable for copyright infringement. Registration with local agencies, such as USPTO in the United States, is a reliable way to prove the ownership of our work. It means that the work can be included in the public record, so everyone can see who the actual owner of the work is. Countries that are also signatories of the Berne Convention could ensure that the same level of protection can be given, regardless of where the copyright is granted.
Any content we write and computer programs we use should satisfy specific requirements to be granted a copyright. It should be noted that copyright isn’t a way to limit the freedom of expression and innovation. Third parties could still be allowed to do specific things under certain limits. Also, when making major changes to our copyrighted work, we should re-submit updates and complete revisions. This is necessary because the change can be significant enough that the new work looks very different than the original.

Oral health staff will be on hand to perform oral health checks at Braehead Shopping Centre as part of Oral Cancer Awareness Week which runs from today (Monday 12th) until Friday 16th.
As well as staff handing out leaflets, free oral care products, general health promotion advice and answering questions, staff will be aiming to improve the public’s knowledge of the signs and symptoms of mouth cancer.
In Scotland more than 500 people every year are diagnosed with the condition, which is one of the top 10 most commonly diagnosed cancers, with smoking and alcohol two of the main risk factors. More recently, the link between younger people being diagnosed with mouth cancer and the HPV (human papilloma virus) is being explored.
Early detection can save the lives of many people diagnosed with mouth cancer and the key message is to attend routine dental check-ups or contact your GP or dentist sooner rather than later if experiencing symptoms lasting three weeks or more.
“The most common signs are an ulcer or sore in your mouth or on your tongue, a red, white or dark patch in your mouth, or an unexplained pain in your mouth and ear.
Consultant Stephen Morley, Glasgow Royal Infirmary, said: “Raising awareness of oral cancer is important. It allows individuals to think about whether they might be increasing their risk of developing a cancer.
Staff will be available to offer advice, answer questions and give out information at Braehead Shopping Centre Monday to Friday between 10.00 am and 9.00 pm.

What are the top health research priorities for twins & multiples?
Are you a twin, higher-number multiple, parent, or health professional supporting multiple-birth families? A new global research collaboration is seeking your opinion on the most pressing multiple-birth issues needing research.
Twins Research Australia, based at the University of Melbourne, has joined forces with Twins and Multiple Birth Association UK (TAMBA), and St George’s University of London to launch a world-first Global Twins and Multiples Priority Setting Partnership.
The partnership aims to identify the top 5-10 priorities for research in twins’ and multiples’ health, and to reduce multiple-birth mortality and morbidity.
“We believe that multiple-birth health issues are not receiving sufficient attention even though the number of multiple births has increased over time – both in Australia and around the world,” said Deputy Director of Twins Research Australia, Associate Professor Jeff Craig.
Assoc/Prof Craig explained that from conception, twins and multiples experience unique health challenges compared to singletons.
While multiple births account for around 1.5 percent of total Australian pregnancies, they contribute to a much larger proportion of deaths around the time of birth (about four times greater for twins, and 11 times greater for higher-number multiples, compared to single births).
Multiple-birth health issues can include: higher rates of morning sickness during pregnancy, and preterm, low birthweight and other pregnancy-related complications; zygosity confusion i.e. whether twins are identical or non-identical; unique challenges with childhood, social and educational development; and higher rates of post-natal depression and anxiety for parents of multiples.
“Ensuring your voice is heard is a simple and easy step,” Assoc/Prof Craig said. “It involves taking an initial 15-minute online survey available at www.twins.org.au (please note the survey is now closed).
It is open to all stakeholders in multiple-birth health Australia-wide and around the world: twins, higher-number multiples, their parents, families, community groups, and health care providers such as GPs, obstetricians, paediatricians, midwifery and maternal health nurses as well as researchers and scientists.

The term ‘Trent’ refers to the family of the firm’s large gas turbine aeroengines. There are six different Trent models in service: Trent 500, Trent 700, Trent 800, Trent 900, Trent 1000 and Trent XWB. They are bought by more than 400 airlines, and lessors, across the world. The company’s Singapore manufacturing plant, which was opened in 2012, makes the Trent 900 and the Trent 1000. Soon, the Trent 7000 will also be produced there. At full capacity, the facility will be able to produce 250 engines a year. Rolls-Royce says that, in the remanufacturing process, all parts are cleaned before it can be ascertained what work needs to be done. This process is known as ‘sentencing’, a combination of visual assessment and non-destructive methods such as ultrasonic or eddycurrent inspection. A dimensional check is also carried out. The parts are then sentenced as either for service, scrap or requiring rework. The engines are typically brought into a maintenanceand overhaul shop, where they will be disassembled. The parts in need of remanufacture are then shipped to a component repair facility. An example of such a component is the nozzle guide vane, which directs the airflow onto the turbine blade in an engine. These are shipped to the facility, based on airline contracts. Repairs are completed and the component is returned in 14 days.
Significantly, although reman is very much part of the civil aviation business, it does have a limitation. Critical parts have a strictly de ned lifespan, and when that duration comes to an end, the remanufacturers do not get started on them: the component is simply replaced. But before that, there is so much that this leading player in aviation reman can do. And you would not bet against Rolls-Royce forging new horizons for its engines in the skies - and elsewhere.

The Daqing Oilfield, situated between Harbin and Qiqihar in Heilongjiang Province, was made a national model in 1964 when Mao Zedong issued the call "In industry, learn from Daqing", 工业学大庆. Daqing (大庆) was the first major oilfield opened up in China. To prove that China could do without the support of Soviet technicians and assistance, and to counter (mostly American) claims that the country would never be self-sufficient in oil, major exploration activities were started in the Daqing area in early 1960.
By May of that year, over 40,000 workers and staff from more than thirty factories and mining institutes had started the 'massive battle' of opening up Daqing, using 70,000 tons of equipment.
One of the exemplary explorers involved was Wang Jinxi, who earned the nickname 'Iron Man' for braving fatigue, injuries and difficulties. By the end of 1963, Daqing was operating at full speed. In the following years, it became the model that all industrial departments had to emulate.
Daqing has more than paid back the original investments made. Exploiting the more than 2 bn. tons of underground oil reserves, it has been the major oil production facility in China. By the end of the 1990s, the country is faced with the exhaustion of those reserves, and is forced to look for other prospects.
The example set by Daqing remained relevant. After the 4 June incident in 1989, the slogan to learn from Daqing was revived once more. This time, however, all people were called upon to learn from the spirit of Daqing.

In addition, the phone has transformed into a cell telephone which is equipped with Web access. The term multimedia suggests a collection of various types of media or the capability to deal with such collections. Class-dominant theory argues that the media reflects and projects the view of a minority elite, which controls it. Culturalist theory, which was developed in the 1980s and 1990s, combines the other two theories and claims that people interact with media to produce their personal meanings out of the images and messages they obtain.

As part of our dedication to serving the public, the RTA purchases environmentally friendly equipment and adopts initiatives and programs that help us reduce our environmental impact on our city, our region, and our planet. Below are some examples of how the RTA is going green.
RTA buses run on B5 bio-diesel fuel. Manufactured from soy oil, biodiesel produces less air pollutants than petroleum-based diesel. For more information about biodiesel fuel, click here.
The RTA operates 16 high-capacity articulated buses (also known as “accordion” or “caterpillar” buses), which are all biodiesel/electric hybrids.
Buses that sit idle with their engines running waste fuel and release unnecessary emissions. The RTA has trained 360 drivers in an idle reduction program and has incorporated this program into all new driver training. We estimate that the idle reduction program has led to a 12% decrease in fuel consumed per passenger-mile on standard buses and a 4% decrease in fuel consumed per passenger-mile on paratransit buses.
All new buses brought into the RTA system use diesel particulate traps which reduce noxious gases.
For cleaning vehicle parts in our maintenance facilities, the RTA has switched to aqueous-based solvents from naphtha-based (petroleum) solvents, a switch which reduces the introduction of harmful chemicals into sewage.
Instead of air, the RTA now fills bus tires with pure nitrogen, a practice which has been shown to increase fuel efficiency by 2-3% and to lengthen tire life.
In our administrative offices on Canal Street, the RTA has established a recycling program with recycling containers and stations throughout the building.
The RTA has been gradually switching out T-12 fixtures and fluorescent bulbs for T-8 fixtures and fluorescent bulbs, which contain less mercury and are more efficient.
The RTA has received a State-of-Good Repair grant from the Federal Transportation Authority for our Napoleon and Carrollton facilities. The grant contains $1 million in line items for the installation of energy-efficient lighting systems at these facilities and additional funds for the installation of an environmentally friendly floor at the Carrollton location.
The RTA is now maintaining a comprehensive environmental file system.

MILAN – A research conducted by the University of Naples tells us that more than three cups of espresso coffee a day have a protective effect on cardiovascular health.
The study, conducted on approximately 200 thousand people in periods of time between 3 and 33 years, brings out a positive relationship between coffee intake and prevention of hypertension.
Researchers hypothesize that caffeine will only increase short-term pressure, at least in subjects suffering from hypertension. It also exerts a diuretic and natriuretic effect, so it facilitates the elimination of sodium with the urine.
In addition to contributing to the beneficial effects of espresso coffee, both the soluble fibers present combined with potassium and magnesium maintain the pressure balance; both trigonelline modulates sugars metabolism in positive, helping the reduction fat cells number.
However, the protective effect assumes statistical significance starting from three cups of espresso coffee a day, not less.
It is therefore impossible to establish a certain cause-effect correlation, but it can be argued that the habitual consumption of coffee has a favorable effect on cardiovascular health, mostly for pressure.

Alternative business structures: the rules for eligibility and taxation associated with different types of business entities—particularly whether a business entity is subject to corporate income taxation or whether its income is “passed-through” to business owners and subject to individual income taxation.
Most existing energy tax expenditures have been enacted since 1986, when Congress last passed comprehensive tax-reform legislation. All energy sources are directly affected by some part of the tax code, either by provisions specific to a resource, such as the renewable energy production tax credit and the percentage depletion allowance for oil and gas, or by general measures, such as corporate income-tax rates and depreciation rules.
In recent years, several members of Congress have proposed comprehensive tax reform. In February 2014, former House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Rep. Dave Camp (R-MI) released his proposal for comprehensive tax reform. Rep. Camp’s proposal followed a set of proposals issued as part of a staff discussion draft in December 2013 by former Senate Finance Committee Chairman Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT). The previous chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), proposed significant changes to the tax code in bipartisan legislation co-sponsored with Sen. Dan Coats (R-IN) in 2011.
All three proposals proceed from the premised goal of lowering individual and corporate income-tax rates while broadening the base of taxable activities, generally by removing or limiting deductions, credits, and techniques for recognizing income in low-tax jurisdictions. While supporting documents for each of these proposals make reasoned arguments for changing various tax provisions, they do not attempt to quantify the impact of those changes on energy project economics. Recent studies from the Congressional Research Service and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory quantify the impact of changes to the production tax credit and investment tax credit on wind and solar project economics; however, these studies do not model the full impact of the Baucus, Camp, or Wyden-Coats proposals.
The purpose of this study, then, is to quantify the impact of the Baucus, Camp, and Wyden-Coats proposals on the project economics of different electricity-generation types. AEIC uses a financial model developed by Climate Policy Initiative that estimates the financial performance of electric-generating facilities to set up an equivalent comparison of the impact of the three tax-reform proposals on three illustrative facilities: a wind-power project, a solar-power project, and a gas-fired power plant.

D. Describe the pace at which your product will move through the product life cycle and the factors that will impact its movement.
Product Lifecycle Management, PLM, integrates engineering, manufacturing and service to reduce costs, improve quality and reduce time to market. Today, PLM has evolved to include the entire enterprise. This means coexistence with other point solutions and enterprise applications for product information and operations is important. Over time the profitability and the types of customer change and the marketing cost per customer varies. By analyzing these indicators - profit, competitors, cost per customer, customers, and sales - Toyota can determine which phase of the product life cycle their product has reached or is moving towards. There are 4 phases: Introductory Phase, Growth Phase, Maturity Phase and Decline Phase. Once Toyota has identified the phase by analyzing the indicators (characteristics) through research, Toyota can formulate their marketing objectives for that phase and develop a marketing strategy for that phase.
Toyota can do this until there product has reached the decline phase and they decide to discontinue production and sales.

Main Point: I am thankful for people who give me what I need.
This month we’re helping children learn to say thank you for the people who help them. And there are a lot of people who help children!
Family, community helpers, people who give them what they need, and last but not least—friends. Children need help, tons and tons of help. And, we want them to grow up with eyes that see the people who help them, and a heart that says thanks.
In this week’s lesson, a woman helped Elisha by making a room for him to stay in when he visited.
Even though Elisha spent a lot of time traveling and couldn’t always take everything he needed with him, God still provided for him! God sent people to help Elisha get things he needed, like food and water. Elisha was so thankful for people who helped him get what he needed, and we can be thankful for people who help us, too!
Join us in helping your child learning Ephesians 5:20 (NIV)! Children can recite the verse every week in October to earn a special Memory Verse take home to put on their poster.
This month we’re learning to be thankful for all the people who help us. Our verse tells us to give thanks to God. God gives us great helpers, so we should make sure He knows we are thankful for them and for His help, too! Practice this verse with your child so they can recite it to their eGroup Leader this weekend in Quest!

An Artwork is an object such as a painting or a sculpture created by an artist and typically designed to be visually stimulating for viewers of the object.
Most Councils have an artworks collection, and a number of Councils treat artworks as a separate asset class.
Many artworks appreciate rather than depreciate over time, and there are many examples of artworks in museums that are thousands of years old so the concept of useful life does not apply to all artworks.
Some outdoor public art does deteriorate over time, but unlike most other asset classes, these are not typically replaced with very similar items.

The artist Cornelius Johnson was born in London in 1593. His family were exiles from Antwerp, though of German descent. He was probably trained in the Netherlands, but became a prolific painter of portraits and miniatures in England. He was made one of Charles I's official painters in 1632.In 1643 civil war caused Johnson to take his family to the Netherlands, where he stayed until his death. In 1646, when this portrait was painted, he was in Amsterdam. His style here echoes that of van Dyck, whose paintings had made such a powerful impact in England.

The fuel for a burning candle is the wax. There are many different types of wax with different chemical formulas, but they are all hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are molecules made from hydrogen and carbon.Burning the wax pulls the hydrogen and carbon in the wax apart and recombines them with oxygen from the atmosphere. This is an oxidation reaction. The resulting carbon dioxide and water are gases that disperse in the air.A burning candle is a chemical change because the paraffin wax, which is a hydrocarbon, undergoes a chemical reaction with oxygen to form water and carbon dioxide gas. Because the chemical structure of the paraffin has been changed, this is a chemical change.Change is described as physical or chemical. Physical changes alter the form that a substance or is originally in, but the substance be returned to the original state through physical means. Chemical changes, however, involve changing the structure of the material at the atomic level. In order to extract the original reactants.

In the following article, James A. Banks, the Kerry and Linda Killinger Professor and Director of the Center for Multicultural Education at the University of Washington, Seattle, describes his Arkansas community"s reaction to the U.S. Supreme Court"s Brown v. Board of Education decision when it was announced in 1954.
I can only speculate about the meaning of the silence about Brown in the Arkansas delta in which racial segregation was codified in both law and custom in every aspect of our lives. The only public library in Lee County was 9 miles from our family farm in Marianna, the county seat that had a population of 4,550. Although I was an avid reader, I could not use the public library. It was for whites only. The only time I saw the inside of the public library was when the choir from my all-black high school entertained a white civic group in the library. We had to see second-run movies at the all-black Blue Haven Theatre. To see first-run movies, we had to go to the white Imperial Theatre and enter the "Colored entrance," which led upstairs where the projection room was also located. We could hear the rattle of the movie projector as we tried to concentrate on the movie.

Francisco Luís Gomes (31 May 1829 – 30 September 1869) was an Indo-Portuguese statesman and writer from Goa.
Ethics is the science of duties, and it's principles, perceived by reason, and revealed to us by conscience.
Law is justice outside its moral source.
We do not have monarchies by divine right, we do not lack influential and wealthy clergy, we do not want rich families between the crown and the people. What we are looking for is equal rights for the people, and uniform distribution of goods. It is time for democratizing the right to property.
It is necessary that the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity, eternal in their duration, be universal in their application, that being realized in institutions, law and customs, they spread over the surface of the globe and filter down to it's lowest strata. Only then shall the regeneration of man be accomplished.
The most powerful instruments of civilization are two - the Christian religion, and education.
Cholera and the Thug were born in the same country and in the same year. India is their native land.
All impartial men who are moved by justice and not by racialism want India to be ruled by Indians.
The biography of a minister is bound to be a work of moral and political importance.
Being a good administrator and a bad politician, Pombal was not always a happy legislator.
His glory and greatness suffer from the wrongs he did his fellow men and from the methods he employed.
The revolt was the sepoy; the revolution would have been the people; the revolt was revenge; the revolution would have been the Idea; the revolt was the cruel Vishnu; the revolution would have been the mild Shiva.

The sculpture These Are My Jewels is an imposing addition to the northwest corner of the Statehouse grounds. Tall and commanding, a series of life-size portrait sculptures arranged around a drum-shaped base gives recognition to the military and political leaders from the state of Ohio who contributed greatly to the Union cause during the Civil War. These leaders are Generals Ulysses S. Grant, William T. Sherman, James A. Garfield and Phillip Sheridan, as well as Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase and Secretary of War Edwin Stanton. President Rutherford B. Hayes was later added at President William McKinley's request.
"Plaques surrounding the sculpture naming each figure - General Ulysses S. Grant, General Philip Sheridan, Edwin M. Stanton, James A. Garfield, Rutherford B. Hayes, Salmon P. Chase, and General William T. Sherman"

The concept of a ?global village? or a united community around the world has only in these last few years become a concept widely thought of. However, it seems that the idea of a large-scale sharing of information has long been developing, whether intended or not.
At this same time, programmable computers were finally coming to be used. Information was input to these machines and stored on tapes that could be put onto different computers to be run. This paralleled postal mail in a form of indirect communication. However, computers were also already based in intercommunication, because computers are systems of smaller functioning devices connected to perform a function or process. The evolution of computers’ communicating then evolved by extending direct connections between these large systems, sharing information. With the invention of the modem, computers could communicate piggybacking a system that people already used. As the modem developed, communications speeds increased.
This concept of large interconnected networks brought recognition to the long established government networks such as ARPA-Net, and those used with universities and libraries to exchange information. When these were combined, they formed massive networks circling the globe, which provided for long distance communication between computers instantaneously. Commercial ?providers’ spawned, giving access to this network to individuals from the comfort of their homes.

-Who sounds like a more refined / practiced musician?
-Who is a 'better' singer / guitar player?
-What emotion do you think is being expressed / conveyed?
-How can you tell if the artist is being genuine/honest?
- Who sounds more original ? who sounds like they did it first?
(**that could understand spoken language).
The Blues and the music that it evolved from was started in the late 1800's****, and Although by this time a high level of emotional expression had been happening in music for a long time, most of this music had been happening in places like Church, High Class Instrumental concerts (orchestra, Opera, musical theatre etc).
This has become the model for all popular music since !!
Another Defining Characteristic or Folk Art/Music is that we tend to associate different forms with different groups of people.
Where / When were Early Blues happening?
Although these have subtle differences and are classified into 3 categories, you will notice they are all very similar stylistically. They all have a share a common unrefined and rough quality.
For the Following Genres/Categories of music, Find a song that you think exemplifies the genre. (1) Search for a song that best represents what would be considered 'Genuine' within that genre. (2) For each example, tell why you think your song is a good example for that style of music. This explanation should mention things like : Instrumentation, Melody Delivery, Bass/Rhythm Delivery, Subject Matter, Persona of the Artist ETC. (3) Give a release date for each song.

The School of Environmental and Rural Science considers all practical/laboratory/tutorial activities as essential to student learning. Attendance and participation in all practical/laboratory/tutorial classes (sessions) is mandatory - exemptions will not be granted without supporting evidence.
This unit commences with a description of the distribution, hydrology, chemistry, and ecology of freshwaters with an emphasis on Australia and its water resources. Technologies and their impacts on the freshwater ecosystem are reviewed in detail with a focus on environmental allocations, water use for irrigation and domestic supply, technologies for water re-use and re-cycling, desalination, agricultural effluent re-use and groundwater exploitation, and their likely impacts. Chemical and bio-assessment methods (including river health assessments) for detecting impacts are demonstrated before the unit concludes with a holistic treatment of the trade-offs and management of social, economic, ecological and political issues in water resource management in Australia and overseas.
review a limnological research report or paper critically, identifying flaws in logic, methodology, and factual information that may alter conclusions drawn from the work.

Professor Nick Beresford (@Radioecology) of the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology led the TREE (Transfer-Exposure-Effects) project, an international collaboration to investigate how to reduce uncertainty in estimating the risk to humans and wildlife of exposure to radioactivity. A major part of the project was fieldwork undertaken in the Chernobyl Exclusion zone.
Beth Purse, of the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, and Mudassar Chanda, from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, report new insights into patterns of bluetongue disease in sheep in southern India. The research was conducted as part of a three-year Indo-UK collaborative project jointly funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID), the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Scottish Government.
International Women’s Day (8 March each year) is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.
To mark the occasion this year, we're showcasing international research carried out by some of our fantastic women scientists at the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH). We also highlight how international researchers can work with us to tackle global societal and environmental challenges.
Once released into the environment, microplastics are practically impossible to remove. They will remain there for hundreds, if not thousands of years. A wide range of animals, including invertebrates, fish, mammals and birds will ingest plastics, either directly or indirectly by eating other organisms that have consumed them.

The first steps to produce renewable energy in the industrial area on the island Storøya in Karmøy municipality started back in 2007. In the first application Solvind applied locally for two smaller windmills (up to 90 metres), and received the go ahead from the Ministry of the Environment in 2012. When the potential of the project was deemed to be higher Solvind applied for two larger windmills, 6 MW in total, in 2013. Concession was granted by NVE in August 2013, but the neighboring municipality of Haugesund and others appealed, and the concession was finally granted by OED in March 2014.
In March 2014 Solvind are carrying out anemometry in the area, and the planning is moving ahead at a good and steady pace with building start expected in 2015. Solvind have a close co-operation with the owner of the area, Norsk Sanerings Service AS.
The project are localized on the island of Storøya north in Karmøy municipality, right next to the city of Haugesund. The location in the industrial area out by the sea has many advantages. There is a good distance to the closest neighbors, very good existing infrastructure, and there is a high consumption of energy locally. Since it is an industrial area there will be very few additional effects on the environment and landscape. This is true not only for the area itself but also for the industrial area in Haugesund on the other side of the strait.
The location has excellent wind conditions. With its proximity to Haugesund the windmills can be called "urban windmills." There are several exciting projects like these around the world where the windmills are located in industrial areas or next to the city. Hamburg and Copenhagen are examples of cities with "urban windmills".
Two windmills of 3000 kW, most likely Enercon E-82 3 MW, with an estimated yearly output of 18GWH, are planned. The total height will be about 125 meters.
Investment will be low, as there are already usable roads and the output from the windmills will make use of existing connection at the site.

The Geometry class represents a geometry node in a world.
Geometry::GetGeometryType Returns the geometry type.
Geometry::GetMaterialCount Returns the number of material slots.
Geometry::SetMaterialCount Sets the number of material slots.
Geometry::GetMaterialObject Returns a material object.
Geometry::SetMaterialObject Sets a material object.
The Geometry class serves as the base class for all geometrical nodes in the world. The geometrical information itself is stored in the associated Mesh class and GeometryObject class.
A geometry node can be a generic geometry, a type of primitive geometry, a chunk of voxel terrain, or a piece of a water surface. See the node class hierarchy for a diagram showing the relationships among these types.
RenderableNode A Geometry node is a renderable scene graph node.

The generation, treatment and disposal of waste may pose risks to human health and the environment. Waste management in the chemicals, plastics and life sciences industry is based on the following hierarchy: prevention, re-use and recycling, and energy recovery. Unavoidable waste must be treated optimally to limit its environmental impact as much as possible. A distinction is made between hazardous and non-hazardous waste.
In 2015, the Belgian chemicals, plastics and life sciences industry accounted for 5% (825 kilotonnes) of all industrial waste. This positive result has been achieved partly thanks to cluster collaboration, with the waste- and side-streams of one company serving as raw materials for another. This kind of industrial symbiosis is typical of the sector.
Substantial efforts have been made in the field of material and energy recovery. Some two-thirds (64%) of all waste generated by the sector in 2015 was recovered either as materials or as energy. The positive trend towards optimal use of waste is clear: in 2001, the recovery rate was just 43%.
About 47% of the waste generated by the chemicals, plastics and life sciences industry is hazardous. Most of this is treated in Belgium and 64% is recovered, with the remainder processed under safe and strict conditions.

Single-use plastics are the many disposable plastics that are only used once before they are discarded or recycled. They include items such as plastic bags, straws, water bottles, and many forms of food packaging and the European Commission’s Vice-President of the Executive Cabinet, Frans Timmerman, hinted that the EU may soon be banning them. The statement came in response to Michael Gove, British Secretary of State for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs who stated that he had “some concern” that the EU may prevent the UK from banning plastic straws. Timmerman responded via Twitter saying “One step ahead of you. EU legislation on single-use plastics coming before the summer. Maybe you can align with us?” he wrote (using the hashtag #EUDoesntSuck). Scotland, which is part of the EU, previously announced plans to ban plastic cotton swabs and plastic straws by 2019. Timmerman stated that the EU is partnering with businesses to find ways to recycle and reuse more plastic in order to reduce microplastic pollution.

When I read a technical paper written by an author from whom I have not read anything before, I usually find that I have the biggest problems not with mastering the intellectual challenges that the paper presents, but with understanding the author’s terminology and relating it back to concepts with which I am familiar In this context, modeling is a notoriously difficult subject since it is so utterly interdisciplinary. It is therefore one of the major goals of this text to introduce a variety of different modeling concepts (terminologies) and relate them to each other. In this chapter, we shall discuss several graphical modeling techniques among which, in more detail, the bond graph modeling technique has found widespread acceptance and use among a number of modelers from several application areas, particularly mechanical engineers. We shall see that bond graphs are very easy to relate back to previously introduced concepts, and yet they are somewhat difficult to read on first glance.

When it comes to any engine, the temperature is a critical factor to performance. When your engine runs at a temperature within a certain range, the vital moving parts remain protected and can continue doing their job for a long time. However, if the engine runs too hot, vital engine parts can overheat and become damaged. The thermostat in your engine is a valve that helps control engine temperatures by opening and closing at the perfect time to allow coolant to flow through the radiator. If the engine is cold, the thermostat will close until the thermostat senses the temperature has increased. When the engine gets hotter and needs to cool down, the thermostat opens and allows coolant fluid to flow through the radiator to dissipate heat away from the engine. As you can probably tell by now, a faulty thermostat can be a major problem for your vehicle in terms of overheating and damage risk.
What are the Symptoms of a Faulty Thermostat?
At Downey Nissan, we never recommend driving with a thermostat problem because the risk of damage is far too great with an overheating engine condition. If you have any signs of a faulty thermostat, correcting the problem is quick and convenient with a Nissan Thermostat Replacement Service at Downey Nissan. We are conveniently located in the Downey area of the larger Los Angeles metropolitan area within a brief drive of Norwalk & Lynwood, California.

There are two sources of ancient knowledge. The oldest first-hand information available about the ‘science’ of the ancients is preserved in astronomically aligned structures like the pyramids and monuments such as Stonehenge etc. The second source of ancient science is called the Veda, the knowledge from an ancient Vedic culture. These two sources of information remind us our ancient relatives were much more than uneducated thugs and cave dwellers. Nor can we continue to assume the roots of all knowledge rest within the last 5000 years.
There are many sources of information available for our scrutiny.
Legends from around the world have spoken of Giants. Now we have evidence that the Giants weren’t the product of imaginations, they did exist. There are stories of Monkey people, the most famous of which is Hanuman, the companion of Lord Ram in the Indian classic called Mahabharata. Skeletal evidence of their existence has been known about for a long time. Unfortunately, due to the arrogance of the reigning species, the intelligence of earlier civilizations was rejected. Based on nothing more than these two examples the words within the legends needs to be read again.
Let’s stop whatever we are doing and contemplate what forms of mathematics and general knowledge would be necessary to align a physical form on earth with stars in the sky. We know the ancients built the pyramids aligned with the stars. The alignment confirms without a doubt their construction occurred in the epoch of 10,500 BC.
We’re catching up with the ancients in terms of using astronomical alignment to secure dating for future generations. Oscar Hansen, the sculptor who designed the terrazzo floor in the Hoover Dam also used a picture of the heavens as they appeared on September 20, 1935 as a permanent dating of the dedication of the Dam. Hansen’s design will accurately reflect the date of dedication for the next 14,000 years should any future generations wish to find out.
The second major source of ancient knowledge the Veda, will be looked at next time. For the moment, allow yourself to ponder the magnitude of information the information we have.

This code focuses on the minimization of active power losses.
First, we acquire the data from the desired power system, then we define the parameters of the optimization algorithm such as number of iterations, size of the population and the minimum and maximum value of the desition variables. The desition variables are: The values of TAPs, bus voltage, and shunts.
After defining the optimization algorithm parameters, the classical power flow program is executed, and the value of the optimization function is computed.
Now the iterative process began after the algorithm has reached the default number of iterations it shows a comparison between the initial values of the desition variables and the new ones from the optimization algorithm, also, it shows the process of evolution of the optimum value as well as the active power losses.
In the folder, there is an image of how the Jaya algorithm works.
Note: The code is designed to work with any power system, just added to the folder and call it in the code. Remember that the optimization process may take from seconds to minutes to converge depending on the number of desition variables and the number of iterations.

What we now call Germany was a collection of small principalities until Bismarck unified the country in the Nineteenth Century. That probably accounts for the several different traditions of German Music, ranging from Oom-pa-pa brass bands to Wagnerian Opera. In addition, there were several waves of German immigration into Pennsylvania, each one of which had its favorite musical style of the moment, which then persisted as a tradition in some pocket of immigrant descendants. Germans in Germany would, therefore, relate a somewhat different history of musical evolution than Americans of German descent would recognize.
The intellectual German Quakers who settled into Germantown in the Seventeenth Century were highly musical, while the English Quakers down the hill in Philadelphia distinctly were not musical at all. There was a central musical feature to the Germantown hermit monks under Johannes Kelpius, their leader, who was a musician of some note. The printing and publishing houses of Germantown spread this music up and down the inland valleys of the Atlantic Coast region so that even after Germantown itself ceased to be the cultural center of things, the Ephrata Cloister carried on. The present center of 18th Century German music is now in the Lehigh Valley. Although Johann Sebastian Bach had been dead for a hundred fifty years before it was founded, the Bach Choir of Bethlehem now conducts the oldest continuous Bach Festival in existence. It's well worth the short trip to Bethlehem if you can get tickets, and more importantly, if you can find a place nearby to park.

Coskun Kocabas and colleagues created a film comprising multiple ultra-thin layers of graphene and a bottom layer of gold, with non-volatile ionic liquid in between them. When a small current is applied, the ions move up into the graphene layer, cutting down the infrared radiation the surface would normally emit. Because it's thin, light and flexible the film can be applied to any number of surfaces, including clothing. Tests have successfully camouflaged a hand owned by a subject wearing a covering of the material, and others have shown it to be indistinguishable from its surroundings in a variety of ambient temperatures.

The Polk Foundation’s mission is to support high-quality programs that provide people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities with opportunities and choices to grow and function at their full potential as independently as possible.
In 1951, Patricia Hillman Miller (1923–1968), the youngest daughter of John Hartwell Hillman, Jr., was stricken with polio. She recovered but was confined to a wheelchair for the remainder of her life. This experience only strengthened her keen interest in assisting people with disabilities.
In 1957, Patricia created a foundation to provide support for the Polk School in Venango County – hence the foundation’s name. Polk School (now Polk State Center) was a state-owned and operated facility for children with disabilities. At that time, it was the only available option for families in the region, and it had a long waiting list. After several years of effort, in 1961 Patricia was instrumental in the successful opening of the Allegheny Valley School for Exceptional Children – a new school dedicated to serving children with disabilities in southwestern Pennsylvania. Initially, the Polk Foundation’s primary mission was to support the Allegheny Valley School. This close relationship has continued to the present, although the Polk Foundation now supports a broader set of organizations serving individuals with intellectual disabilities.
Every person with a disability deserves to live in dignity and to have maximum opportunity to grow, achieve, and succeed. Honoring Patricia Hillman Miller’s commitment to this principle, the Foundation will continue to focus primarily on improving the quality of life for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Although rain is the most important agent in airborne biological particle deposition most of the current sampling traps retain palynomorphs (fern spore, fungal spore, pollen, among others) but are unable to measure precipitation. The objectives of this study are to present a new simple pluviometric/gravimetric spore/pollen trap and propose a spore/pollen-density rain method, based on the particle frequency and sampling area, which would facilitate ecological inferences about rainfall and Biological Airborne Particle (BAP) deposition, so as to avoid the overrepresentation of the percentage and diverse aerobiological methods. Relative to other spore traps, our proposed trap is simple to build, easy to mount in the field, easy to carry, maintenance free, and requires no energy source. In addition, our trap records rainfall volume, and the quantity of spores captured can be expressed in terms of area-density (particle m−2). The rainfall measured with the trap had no significant differences with the precipitation volume obtained from the pluviometer of the Automatic Meteorological Station at Zacualtipán, Hidalgo, Mexico.
Isoëtes viridimontana is described and illustrated. Plants of this species are currently known only from Haystack Pond, a small, acidic, oligotrophic lake in south central Vermont. Isoëtes viridimontana is distinguished from other Isoëtes species in northeastern North America by its size (less than 5 cm high) and granulate to rugulate megaspore texture.
Polypodium gyroflexum has been a forgotten name since 1940. It is, in fact, an earlier name to a fern recently known as Pleopeltis repanda. Here, I provide the new combination, lectotypification, a detailed characterization, and illustrations for Pleopeltis gyroflexa, comb. nov., plus the synonymization of Pleopeltis repanda. Pleopeltis gyroflexa is known from two populations located ca. 2500–3000 km from each other, and they show some slight morphological differences. The gap between them comprises Amazon forest, the Amazon River, croplands, disturbed areas, and semi-desert vegetation (Caatinga). A vegetation map with their distribution data is also provided.

HomePiezoelectric Roads and Self-Powered IOT Sensors: Big Potential MicroW to MW?
Piezoelectric energy harvesting has seen very little commercial success despite decades of intensive research worldwide.
Nonetheless, the number of patents on the subject is rising strongly and google trends show rising interest generally. Why? What breakthroughs are expected and what are their chances? Piezoelectric sensors are more successful but still a minor part of the piezoelectric business and with patenting rising strongly here too we must ask why. What breakthroughs would be most significant in creating business and benefitting society? What about self-powered sensing with piezos doubling as harvesting and sensing?
Uniquely, the new IDTechEx report, Piezoelectric Harvesting and Sensors 2019-2039 gives-facts based analysis of all this and more. From patenting, trends, interviews, conferences and extensive travel particularly this year, the latest is presented and analysed. This webinar tells the story. For example, the need for electricity from roads and the necessary vibrational energy in busy roads are certainly there. On the other hand, the Internet of Things cannot involve the planned hundreds of millions to billions of nodes unless they are self-powered.

When can a business go bankrupt?
A business can choose to become bankrupt when it owes over $1,000 and is insolvent. A business is insolvent when it is unable to make payments on its debts as they become due, or if it would be unable to pay off its debts even if the business assets were sold.
A business can voluntarily declare bankruptcy. This is the most common event.
A business will become bankrupt if it makes a proposal to its creditors which is not accepted by them.
The creditors of a business can sometimes push the business into bankruptcy by filing a petition with the court. Petitions are very rare.
In any business bankruptcy an LIT will handle the sale of the business assets and the distribution of proceeds to creditors. However, the assistance of a bankruptcy lawyer is usually required. The situation should also be reviewed with a lawyer before the LIT is hired.

Which are the perceived needs of family caregivers of people with dementia?
The phenomenon of longevity is an unprecedented achievement in human history, gaining not only in years but also in quality of life. However, it is indisputable that diseases and, therefore, dependency and disability (and therefore care requirements) are more frequent in the elderly.
Dementia is a chronic and complex disease that encompasses all conditions characterized by cognitive and functional impairment. Taking care of a family member with dementia can cause more physical and emotional problems than in other care situations, due to the high and changing demand for care from people with dementia. Knowing the needs perceived by family caregivers of people with dementia is essential for the proper care of such caregivers, therefore, members of our research group within the line Caregivers and informal and family care, have recently conducted a study to identify, classify and analyze the perceived needs of caregivers of elderly people with dementia during the care process.
For this purpose, seven focus groups was conducted in different primary health care centers in the province of Jaén (Spain), identifying two main categories of perceived needs of caregivers after a thematic analysis of the data; the first was related to the management of caring for a relative with dementia, and the second was related to the management of the caregivers’ own care.
Findings support the provision of comprehensive interventions for the improvement of caregivers’ emotional health that encompass more than one care need. This is where psycho-educational interventions aimed at managing the various aspects of dementia and self-care in caregivers can be accommodated. In addition, proactive interventions to develop important skills to care for a relative with dementia, which are not perceived as needs by the caregivers, are needed. These include skills in family negotiation, planning and searching for resources outside the family.

Brenna, Vincenzo (1745–c.1820). Florence-born architect who settled in Rome by 1767 and, with Franciszek Smuglewicz (1745–1807), produced drawings of Roman wall-paintings and other remains, published as Vestigia delle Terme di Tito (Remains of the Baths of Titus—1776–8). In 1777, employed by Count Stanisław Potocki (1755–1821), he moved to Poland, painting Neo-Classical grotesques for Princess Lubomirska, the Potockis, and King Stanisław Poniatowski (1764–95): some of his best Polish interiors are at Lańcut for Aigner. He then went on to St Petersburg, where he worked as a decorative painter on schemes by Cameron, from whom he learned architectural skills, and whom he succeeded as Court Architect in 1796. His main works are at Gatčina, where he designed many Neo-Classical interiors, developing a showy Imperial style from his earlier archaeological studies. He moved to Dresden in 1802, where he died.

Ryan White was a young man from Indiana who acquired HIV through a contaminated blood treatment he received as part of his therapy to address his hemophilia. Ryan Was diagnosed with HIV at the age of 13 in December 1984 when little was known about the disease and there were few medical therapies. While in middle school the school district barred him from attending classes. Ryan and his mother Jeanne White (Ginder) fought to educate the community about HIV and to gain the right to return to school. After moving to Cicero Indiana Ryan was able to go to school. Ryan’s efforts to educating the public did not stop there and he went on to meet with several Members of Congress about the need for comprehensive services to care for persons living with HIV. In 1990, four months after Ryan’s death at the age of 18, Congress enacted the Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act. It is this legislation (as amended over the years) that supports Fulton County’s Ryan White Program to serve qualifying individuals in the 20-county Atlanta Eligible Metropolitan Area.

The Titan Mare Explorer: A nautical mission to an alien sea.
If [NASA] green-lights the mission, the capsule will lift off in 2016. By 2023, TiME will be about 800 million miles away in Titan’s north-polar region, home to its biggest lakes and seas. The capsule will take photographs, collect meteorological data, measure depth, and analyze samples. TiME will have no means of propulsion once it is on Titan, so it will float, carried by breezes across the sea’s surface. Then, by the mid-2020s, it will enter a decade-long winter of darkness as the moon’s orbit takes it to the dark side of Saturn, away from the sun and communication. It won’t have a line of sight to Earth to beam back more data until 2035.
Best guess on the temperature of Titan’s atmosphere is about 95K (about -290F in old money). I’d like to see a machine that can withstand those temperatures for a decade, and still be able to “. . . beam back more data”.

A stunning exploration of the mercury pollution in Montana that causes harm to humans and ospreys alike. Engrossing narrative nonfiction with fun webcam photos makes for an engaging addition to the award-winning Scientists in the Field series.
This meticulously researched and photographed account follows three University of Montana scientists and their interdisciplinary work with ospreys: fish-catching birds with gigantic nests and a family that functions with teamwork and cooperation. In Missoula, Montana, the scientists have been following ospreys for six years, collecting data on the amount of contaminants, including mercury, found on their feathers and in their blood. The water in western Montana still suffers effects from mining activities performed more than a hundred years ago, and this pollution is still dangerous. Because the osprey hunts in a very small area, scientists can pinpoint where mercury is coming from and work to keep the ospreys, and the people, safer.

While the exact mechanism is not yet completely understood, it is believed to occur due to a processing problem in the brain, following one or more traumatic events. However, it is likely that PTSD develops when an individual goes through a horrific event that may include potential death, grievous injury or sexual assault.
The majority of mental health problems are often caused by a mixture of inherited mental health risks (some people are more susceptible to mental health problems), negative life experiences, an individual’s temperament and the biological aspects of person’s brain.

Teen dating violence is a pattern of actual or threatened acts of physical, sexual, or psychological abuse, perpetrated by an adolescent against a current or former dating partner. Abuse may include insults, coercion, social sabotage, sexual harassment, stalking, threats, or acts of physical or sexual abuse. The abusive teen uses this pattern of violent and coercive behavior to gain power and maintain control over the dating partner.
physical: beating, shaking, choking, slapping, hitting, shoving, kicking, pushing, biting, burning, assault, etc.
Dating violence can also include using social media and technology—including the Internet, social networking sites, phones, or text messaging—to harass, pressure, stalk, or victimize.
An “order of protection” is a civil order that is available to victims of domestic violence, including dating violence. It requires the abuser to stay away from you and your home, workplace, and school.
A judge can issue an order of protection against a dating partner if they have physically abused, threatened to physically abuse, or sexually abused the other partner. A “dating relationship” means a romantic or intimate social relationship between two individuals.
Arkansas law allows a minor to obtain an order of protection against an abusive dating partner. However, the law does not allow a minor to petition for the order of protection on his or her own behalf. Either an adult family or household member or a domestic violence advocate must petition on behalf of the minor.

Traditional Irish stew begins with mutton (or lamb). It includes onions and other root vegetables such as turnips, carrots and potatoes. The use of Guinness beer in Irish beef stew is as Irish as the St. Patrick’s Day Leprechaun. In America beef was cheaper than lamb, therefore, the beer was an Irish-American addition used to give the less flavorful beef stew more flavor. Traditionalists would rather use cheaper shanks and other boney pieces with little to no meat on them to flavor the broth rather than switch to beef. To thicken the stew they used potatoes, flour or barley grains.
In this version of Irish beef stew the potatoes are sliced then layered. During cooking the potato slices near the bottom of the casserole dish break down then meld with the juices to thicken the stew. The black pepper really compliments this stew but the 2 teaspoons might be too much for children and those averse to pepper. Reduce the pepper to 1/2 to 1 teaspoon.
Combine the flour and black pepper in a resealable bag or plastic container. Add stew meat, seal and shake until meat is thoroughly coated with flour.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the meat. Brown on all sides then transfer to a large over safe pot. Brown the other half of the meat and transfer to pot.
In the same skillet saute the onions for 2 minutes, adding a little oil if necessary. Transfer the onions to the casserole. Add the carrots, beef stock, sea salt and bay leaves to the pot stirring to scrape up all the burnt bits on the bottom of the pan. Pour into pot. Toss the potato slices on top of the onions and carrots. Season with a generous amount of black pepper and cover. Cook for 1 1/2 hours. To serve pour into individual bowls and sprinkle with a little parsley.

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life support system that partially replaces the function of the heart and the lungs.
This technology provides short-term heart and lung support for those suffering from heart or lung failure and it buys valuable time to further assess patients, treat the underlying disease, or arrange for heart or lung transplantation.
Using an extracorporeal (‘outside the body’) pump, this life-saving measure is used to assist patients who have no blood pressure and are failing after a large heart attack. The Mechanical Circulatory Assist Program uses this technology to help patients recover from acute heart failure/cardiogenic shock.

Children between the ages of 6 and 8 years of age are very busy developing their academic skills (see full Glossary). They are now attending school full time, and are expected to remain seated for large portions of the day. They are now using all those skills that they developed in their early years to make sense of the abstract and complex skills they are expected to learn and develop in a relatively very short period of time.
can identify the main idea in a text or a story.
Children age 6 to 8 are very interested in and motivated to read. In fact, they read just for the sake of reading. Giving them books as gifts is highly recommended.
write about their own ideas.
Children this age may reverse “b” and “d”? This is a stage that a lot of six and seven year old children go through.
identify most geometric shapes (e.g. octagon).

Maths is a fantastic subject both in its own right and as a foundation for many other courses in Science, Engineering, Computing and Social Sciences. It helps us to understand the whole world around us and builds on our natural instincts to solve problems. Much of the modern world technology should simply not exist if it were not for Mathematicians and developments in future technology will be driven by Maths making it a hugely exciting and interesting field of study.
Students need to enjoy the challenge of Mathematics and in particular the algebra elements. We would be looking for at least a grade 6 with evidence of strong algebra skills.
The A-Level course consists of both Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematicals. You will start by developing the Algebra skills from your GCSE course, before moving onto new topics such as Binomial Expansion, Arithmetic/Geometric sequences and then Calculus (Differentiation/Integration). You will also study applied topics in Statistics and Mechanics (which is very similar to Physics). This means you will get all the core Mathematical skills but also an opportunity to see them applied in different areas.
A Level – The core units build upon the techniques in Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry and Calculus. The applied topics build up skills in Statistics and Mechanics, including mathematical modelling.
The A-Level course is examined at the end of Y13 through 3 written exams.
A Level Maths is an essential qualification for any students wishing to study subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Computing or Engineering at degree level and is also highly valued for subjects such as Natural and Social Sciences, Economics and Business, Geography, Statistics, Medical Sciences. A-Level Maths is regarded as a ‘facilitating’ subject by the Russell Group of Universities so can help students with whatever degree choice they make.
For students not wishing to go onto degree level study, A-Level Maths could also lead directly to careers in Accountancy, Business or Computing among many others. It is seen as a valuable qualification within numerous careers.
