Previously, the two companies had competed for water rights, one to operate an iron industrial complex and the other a canal. The agreement transferred most of the water rights to the canal company which was at that time authorized to construct a reservoir, present Lake Musconetcong, at Stanhope. In return the canal company had to guarantee sufficient water to the Sussex Iron Company to operate its grist mill and blast furnaces.” (Submitted on November 13, 2010.)

Counselling of victims
Phoenix e.V. also offers counselling and guidance for victims of racist violence.
Everyday racism can be experienced as early as Kindergarten and continues in school. Open discrimination, insults and experiences of violence are often a part of life of children who do not fit in because of the colour of their skin. An example is the case of a girl in a primary school whose friend gave her a picture. The picture says:
“Hey, it is difficult to say. Well, I am not allowed to play with you anymore. I cannot be your friend any longer, because you are black and tik-tik-pala. You are mad and a little stupid. Don’t be sad. You can find another friend.”
This is one of many instances where Phoenix e.V. steps in to assist the helpless, hurt and furious families with the goal of finding a solution and to empower both the child and the parents.

Fight the flu: Tips for students
Germs spread like wildfire in the wintertime, and this year is no different.
Cold weather means more time spent indoors and more time spent sharing germs. One of the illnesses circulating right now is the flu. While the flu can be severe for some, even the mildest cases can lead to missed classes and time off from work. Take steps to protect yourself and others from the flu and other illnesses.
Wash your hands
The number one way to prevent any illness is to wash your hands. To properly wash your hands, use warm water and soap, and rub your hand vigorously for about 20 seconds—or as long as it takes to say your ABC’s. Hand sanitizer works in a pinch, but soap and warm water is best. Germs are everywhere so it is important to wash your hands often.
Get a flu shot
It is not too late to get a flu shot! Students can call Student Health Services at (309) 438-APPT (2778) to make an appointment to get a FREE flu shot. Flu shots are also available at most pharmacies and health care provider offices. Faculty and staff should check with their insurance or health care provider to find out the best way to get a flu shot.
Cover your cough and sneeze
In effort to contain your germs, sneeze and cough in the crook of your arm. If you sneeze or cough into your hands, be sure to wash them or use hand sanitizer so that you do not spread germs to surfaces you touch.
If you are sick, stay home from school and work. The last thing you want to do is share your germs with others. Be sure to stay home and away from others until you are fever free for 24 hours. Make arrangements to make sure you don’t get behind in your work, but be sure to take time to rest and get better.
Keep your immune system strong
A healthy immune system is better equipped to fight off illnesses. Be sure to get enough sleep, eat right, drink plenty of water, and get regular physical activity. Stress can weaken your immune system. Be sure to stay on top of school and work to help keep yourself well.
Influenza vs. Common Cold
Sometimes, its hard to know the difference. Here is a chart to help understand the similarities and differences between a cold and the flu. Sometimes antibiotics are needed or over-the-counter medicine may help alleviate symptoms. Talk with a pharmacist or your health care provider to find the best options for your illness.
|Aches||Usually, often severe||Slight|
|Tiredness||Moderate to severe||Mild|
|Symptom onset||Appear within 3 to 6 hours||Symptoms appear gradually|
|Coughing||Dry, unproductive cough||Hacking, productive cough|
|Chest discomfort||Often severe||Mild to moderate|

An archipelago is a group or chain of islands clustered together in a sea or
ocean. Archipelagos may occur in isolation in bodies of water or, alternatively, close to large land masses. Most commonly, archipelagos are volcanic in origin, forming along island arcs that are produced by subduction zones or hotspots. However, they may also be the result of erosion, deposition, or land elevation.

Distribution of Stomata
There are two parameters normally used for expressing the distribution of stomata.
Plants differ in their stomatal frequency. In monocots the upper and lower surfaces usually have the same frequency but in dicots the lower surface usually has a higher frequency than the upper surface. However, the frequency of stomata can change with the position of leaves on the plant.

There are some carbon saving tips you can do easily. However, there are very few things that will save 1 ton of CO2 by themselves. Some examples of doable things that can save 1 ton is driving 3,000 miles less a year. The following link provides a few other things.
An average person produces 26 tons of CO2 per year, so in order to cut back by 1 ton, you would have to cut off 1/26 of your energy usage. This can be done in a number of ways, however the most straightforward would likely be to drive considerably less. Some trees (older larger trees) can also absorb a fairly significant amount of CO2, just to look at emissions from the other side.

The medieval period-roughly the 1,000 years from the classical Greco-Roman age to the Renaissance and modern erahas long been neglected in the history of psychology. Various reasons have been offered for why this period is treated so lightly, for example, that it was a Dark Age, or that it was dominated by antiintellectual Christian thought. This essay challenges such reason ing and, in conjunction with critiquing these obstacles to inquiry, provides a cursory sketch of some of the more interesting figures of this millennium to stimulate psychologists to reconsider this era.

Wood Blewits are mushrooms that are commonly hunted and eaten in Western Europe, and are even cultivated there. They occur all over North America as well, and can be found during colder months growing on leaves, pine needles or garden mulch. They’re pretty distinctive–you don’t see a lot of violet mushrooms! They typically occur in small clusters or in fairy rings, have a very distinct, fruity aroma and leave a pale pink spore print.
So I was in a park on Friday and I found a dozen or so. As I was pulling them up, I had an idea…
Immature mushrooms are deeply colored.
The color fades are the mushrooms mature. The variety that occurs in my area is almost brown at full maturity.
The mushrooms themselves went into an omelet the next day, but not before I took a lot of spore prints. As I was collecting the mushrooms I cut the stem butts off to keep the mushrooms from getting dirty, but I saved them! This is the first part of my plan to form my own little blewit patch that will make delicious mushrooms and turn old leaves into rich, dark soil. I plan on trying three methods: Stem butt propagation, spore slurry and.. mushroom puree.
Today I will document stem butts, since I haven’t started working on anything else. The basic method is as follows. I didn’t take pictures of these steps, so feel free to fuss at me.
1. Moisten cardboard sheets until the top layer can be peeled back.
2. Place stem butts on cardboard.
3. Replace top layer.
4. Dunk and soak cardboard overnight.
5. Incubate cardboard 3-4 months (If outdoors).
6. Profit. Er… transfer sheets to the final bedding location.
You need to start out with mushrooms that still have fluffy mycelium hanging off of them. Just snip the stem off a little ways up from the base. I had about a dozen butts, which I put in a battered plastic box with a snap top lid. Here are my results after three days of incubation:
You can see this better in the closeup, but the fluffy white stuff is the actual fungus, the living organism that produces the mushrooms. This mycelium will draw nutrients from the stem piece and use this to colonize the cardboard. Once the cardboard is completely white, I can use this to inoculate more cardboard, old newspapers, burlap sacks filled with wood chips, leaves, my compost pile, anything with a lot of lignin in it.
Oh hey, I found this Youtube video on the subject:

A 10-year-old I meet with greeted me yesterday by telling me that he’d had an idea for a game called “Triangle” right before going to bed. He described the basic premise, and we toyed with different ideas for game play. As we worked, I mentioned my three guidelines for inventing a game:
- It should have a clear goal.
- It should have clear rules.
- It should be fun.
We came up with a decently good version of Triangle. Since then, I’ve spent a little time tweaking, and I think I’ve got a two pretty good versions. However, I’m missing one thing: how winning works. The solitaire version, at least, is worked out.
Start by dealing a card face up.
That card is the target card. You start with two cards in your hand, and take cards one at a time from the deck. Your goal is to take two that add, subtract, multiply, or divide to make the target value. For instance, by the time I had a hand of five cards, I was ready to make my play:
since 8 divided by two is four. Now I continue to draw cards until I can make an equation to complete the next row of the triangle. In this case, it’s
which is good, since (7 * 1) – 3 = 4. (Note: you’re allowed to put parentheses wherever you want.) Next I’m trying to use four cards to complete the next row. I keep drawing till I find
I count jacks as 11, queens as 12, kings as 13, and aces as 1 or 14. So this turn reads
(11 – 9) + (2 * 1) = 4. I pick four cards from the deck, and my final play is a row of five:
Here my play reads ((13/13)+7) divided by (11-9) = 4. After this you can keep drawing and doing more rows. The goal is to do as many rows as you can.
VARIATION (Square): You play as above until you make a row of seven. Then in subsequent rows you shorten them, making rows of 6, 5, 4, etc. until you’re down to a row of one card, which must match your original card. Bonus points if there’s a way to use the remaining three cards to equate to the top card as well.
I’m decently satisfied with the solitaire game. But what about the two player version? I keep trying different things, but nothing is quite right. My best idea right now is that you essentially play the solitaire version against each other, taking turns. You start by dealing a target card (the 3 of spades, below), and three cards to each person. You can either draw a card or play your next row. (Here’s the game after each player has played one row. One player has 6/2 = 3, the other has 8 – 5 = 3.)
If you ever use up all your cards, you get to immediately pick three more. The game ends whenever someone reaches some agreed upon row–say the five card row (or it ends when you run out of cards in the deck).
I think that might work. I’m still having trouble getting it totally straight. Let me know if you have ideas!

DID YOU KNOW...
While both boys' and girls' voices will change during puberty, the change in a boy's voice is dramatic, sometimes dropping a whole octave in tone. Males in other species develop a deeper voice to attract females and intimidate other males, and scientists believe the change in the male human voice evolved for the same reasons.

What causes heartburn? There's a ring-shaped muscle called the esophageal sphincter that lies at the base of your esophagus where it meets the top of your stomach. The muscle is supposed to keep your stomach contents from coming back into your esophagus and causing heartburn.
A lot of heartburn issues are "self-inflicted," meaning we cause it with our own habits. In fact, there are three surefire ways to give yourself heartburn:
- Even if you're full, keep eating. If your stomach is very full, an action as simple as sitting or bending over can compress the contents and force them through the esophageal sphincter.
- Eat late in the day. Production of your digestive juices (acids and enzymes) increases between about 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. If you eat a big meal then head off to bed, your stomach will be full when you lie down, and the highly acidic stomach contents can leak through the sphincter.
- Eat foods that "disagree with you." As food ferments in your stomach, it creates gas. This gas increases the pressure within your stomach, creating an uncomfortable feeling of bloating. Once the pressure reaches a certain point, it overcomes the sphincter and the gas is released as a burp. If this happens often enough, it can weaken the sphincter over time.
The solution for heartburn is easy and obvious: Change your eating habits!
Do you suffer from heartburn? I invite you to share your solutions.

Digestion is a top to bottom process that is vital to our health.
Digestion is the means by which we assimilate nutrients that run our
bodies. Problems with digestion interfere with the way our bodies are
fed at a cellular level.
What is Digestion?
Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma. In certain organisms, these smaller substances are absorbed through the small intestine into the blood stream.
I always say that we are what we eat, assimilate and do not eliminate. Problems with digestion can be many – but they generally start with what we chose to eat. Many foods actually erode or inflame our stomach lining causing problems with digestion such as indigestion and/or acid reflux. These foods include milk, white flour products, orange juice and coffee.
If there is a problem at the upper end of the digestive tract, there will be problems all the way down. For example, many people have problems with indigestion and take products that block stomach acid. Stomach acid is actually important as it helps set the pH of the digestive tract, it makes certain nutrients – particularly proteins and minerals more available, and it helps our immune system by killing bacteria and parasites that enter our bodies in our food. If you block acid production, then those functions do not happen correctly and digestion is compromised all the way down.
Most indigestion happens from not enough stomach acid. Roughly 5 percent of indigestion is actually from too much acid. Taking digestive aids that contain some hydrochloric acid (HCL) actually helps many cases of indigestion. Raw apple cider vinegar is also good for this. Those with too much acid can typically repair stomach lining and come back into balance.
The small intestine depends on enzymes from the pancreas and bile from the liver. People with issues involving the pancreas, liver and/or gallbladder will have problems assimilating nutrients correctly. There are great natural products to take to help balance these processes.
Many people complain of indigestion after gallbladder removal. It sometimes helps to add supplements containing bile salts to help emulsify fats and help simulate a normal process of digestion.
Another common issue that interferes with digestion is yeast/fungus – also known as candida. People that do not make enough stomach acid will typically develop this as will those who consume too many sweets and other foods that convert easily into sugar. Yeast overgrowth can be brought into balance by diet changes and natural supplements to help kill yeast and restore balance to the intestinal tract.
The last problem for today’s article is constipation or diarrhea. Constipation happens for many reasons – not enough water or fiber, liver congestion, low protein intake, magnesium deficiency, prescription drugs, thyroid problems and more. These can be helped with natural supplements.
Diarrhea when not associated with a stomach virus, is typically caused by yeast/fungus, parasites and/or food allergies.
Good digestion is good for you. Consider making yours better naturally.

Around 1942, river otters were officially considered gone from the Hoosier state. For the next 50 years, few, if any, otters were seen here.
Then, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources began to reintroduce these interesting mammals to various parts of the state. Beginning in 1995, biologists acquired 303 river otters from Louisiana and started releasing them in 12 various sites in northern and southern Indiana.
After being gone for over half a century, otters were reappearing in their historic range.

A natural gas valve is a component of a gas furnace. It connects the natural gas line of the house to the furnace and controls the amount of gas that is sent to the manifold and burners.
Gas valves control the flow of natural gas that moves from a gas main line to a furnace. As of 2010, most new gas furnaces come equipped with natural gas valves. When a furnace is installed, the natural gas valve is calibrated so it properly senses the amount of gas, called gas pressure, that the natural gas lines are supplying it with.
The gas valve receives a signal from the gas furnace control board or module. This small computer tells the gas valve what the gas pressure is. The control board closes the safety switches in the furnace safety circuit and readies the main burner for firing. The control board then sends a signal that tells the valve to open so gas can reach the manifold and main burner.
Gas valves typically do not require any maintenance. Only if a gas valve is submerged or becomes too wet from moisture should it be replaced.

Welcome to Year 6's Autumn term!
Our Discovery learning question is : What are the key forces that influence our lives?
This term, we will be focusing on World War 2 and its impact upon the lives of the people of Britain. We will also be exploring the Holocaust and understanding the fatal impact it had on millions of people. Our key reading texts for the term are Anne Frank and Rose Blanche which will support our learning.
Our Science learning is based on forces and the impact they have on us. We will be carrying out lots of investigations and using our practical science skills.
We are looking forward to a wonderful first term in year 6!
Year 6 Visit Weston Park!
Year 6 enjoyed a fantastic World War 2 experience at Weston Park! We enjoyed learning about rationing and receiving our own ration books and stamps, along with experiencing an air-raid! In the afternoon, we loved dressing up in 1940s clothing!

1. Go for a walk or a light jog to boost your memory and your concentration. Aim to take at least 30 minutes out of your day girls to exercise to improve your performance in exams.
2. Labhair amach os ard! Read out aloud instead of reading into yourself.
3. Make flashcards and stick post-its up with definitions, key points on topics on the fridge, on your mirror, on the walls and even in your wardrobe…places where you regularly go and sit!
4. Give yourself a small treat or a reward when you complete a section, topic or chapter. Try to make things fun!
5.Peer teach, teach each other. Test yourself to see if you understand the information by teaching your friend about it for example, the properties, functions, RDA, sources and deficiencies of Vitamin B.
6. Study in a group. Studying together in groups will help you discuss topics and how to answer past questions, share resources and help keep each other motivated.
7. Make mind maps for each topic on one page! ‘All in one method’ to studying !
8. Draw pictures to help you remember easier! Picture paints a thousand words.
9. Refrain from using social media Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat or twitter (unless it is to follow @msmillshomeec and for educational purposes! These are distracting when you are studying!
10. Use Youtube to help explain some areas of the course that you find difficult. Youtube can explain the information in a short time frame.
11. Take study breaks every 40 minutes as your focus and concentration is not as effective after long periods of times. You will not absorb the information!
12. Cleachtadh a dhéanann máistreacht– practice, practice, practice! Practicing sample answers to past exam questions can help train your brain to take in information. Designate yourself the allocated time for each question and look at the breakdown of your exam in the previous posts! 6TH years there is a new trial paper available here.
13. Do not pull an all-nighter! Make sure to get enough sleep the nights leading up to your exams.
14. Be positive– you have come so far, be proud of yourselves girls ♥

Our Teeth are an important part of our body, there’s a lot we wouldn’t be able to do without them!
Here are some interesting facts about your teeth:
1. Your teeth can reveal a lot about you!
Scientists can tell how old we are, what we eat and drink and even where we may have lived just by examining our teeth.
2. Flossing is important!
If you choose not to floss you are actually missing 40% of the tooth’s surface!
3. Replace your toothbrush as needed.
It’s important to replace your toothbrush after having a cold; the bacteria can stick around on the bristles and make you sick again.
4. Sportsguards are important!
5 million teeth are lost per year due to sports injuries – please wear your sportsguard!
5. Take your time to brush your teeth!
The average person spends 45 seconds brushing their teeth, but the recommendation is to spend at least 2 minutes.
6. Turn that frown upside down!
It takes 43 muscles to frown, but only 17 to smile! Use those muscles wisely.
Your teeth are pretty amazing and we want to help you keep them healthy. Make sure you are visiting us for your routine cleanings and checkups!

Dry-climate landscaping in general, amid a drought in particular, perpetuates a surprising number of myths and misconceptions. Ten of the most common ones are listed below, followed by the facts with links to more details. The sooner these myths are debunked, the sooner more gardens will become sustainable.
Myth #1. The current weather pattern is an aberration.
The facts. Western states have had three disastrous droughts in 13 of the last 28 years. Temperatures are steadily rising too, with 2014 the hottest year on record and 2015 on target to be even warmer.
Myth #2. Drought tolerant plants are the most water-efficient alternative to grass.
The facts. Drought-tolerant plants use less irrigation than grass, but non-organic material such as gravel and stone or even natural terrain use none. Mix it up to gain overall efficiency.
Myth #3. Low-water plants are always better than moderate-water ones.
The facts. Water/square foot is a more meaningful metric than water/plant. One wide moderate-water plant consumes less than multiple narrow low-water plants do in the same space.
Myth #4. Plants get more water with bigger emitters and longer run times.
Myth #5. Pick an emitter flow rate and stick with it throughout the system.
The facts. Plants vary greatly in water needs, soil type, sun/shade exposure, and slope. Mixed flow rates, unlike a single one, can optimize both health and conservation.
Myth #6. Once the irrigation is inspected, it’s good until the next annual inspection.
The facts. Monitoring is ongoing. New leaks surface, plants die, new plants go in, weather changes.
Myth #7. A hose is the most efficient way to water.
The facts. Hoses, except for rare spot watering with nozzles, are extraordinarily wasteful compared to drip irrigation on plants and brooms on hard surfaces.
Myth #8. Prune trees and hedges during a drought so they take less water.
The facts. Pruning drought-stressed plants increases susceptibility to disease, insects, and sunburn. It saves little water until half the foliage is gone and can be fatal in hot, dry periods.
Myth #9. Uniformly adjust irrigation times to survive a drought.
Myth #10. We can go back to normal after the El Niño this year.
The facts. While experts predict a strong El Niño soon, they also warn the water crisis will continue, as reported by the International Business Times, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, among others.

Digestion is the breaking down of food into smaller components that can be absorbed, for instance, by a blood stream. In mammals, food enters the mouth, is chewed by teeth, and broken down by the saliva. It travels down the esophagus into the stomach where acids break most of it down. Leftovers go through the small and large intestines, and are excreted during defecation. Healthy digestion requires support for all the different components of digestion.
Chewing is the physical process of breaking the food down into smaller fragments. Thorough chewing mixes food well with saliva, moistening the food particles and beginning the process of starch and fat digestion. It also signals the body to begin the digestion process. When a meal is not chewed well, the food fragments are too big. Inadequate chewing results in incomplete digestion. This means not only nutrients being unabsorbed, but also bacterial overgrowth, gas and symptoms of indigestion.
After chewing, the food’s next stop is the stomach, where an adequate amount of stomach acid is required for the breakdown of proteins. Without adequate stomach acid, protein and Vitamin B-12 digestion is affected. If necessary, these digestive factors can be replaced with appropriate supplementation. Digestive enzyme support can also be obtained from fresh pineapple or papayas, which contain the enzyme bromelain, and other fresh vegetables and herbs. Processed foods, like canned pineapple, contain little enzyme activity since digestive enzymes are destroyed by the heat of the sterilization process. Beginning a meal with fresh fruits or salad can provide support for healthy digestion.
Identify and eliminate food allergens. When an allergic reaction occurs, the immune system perceives specific food molecules as hostile invaders. It forms antibodies, which latch onto these allergens to assist in their removal. As a result, inflammation can occur along the intestinal tract lining, interrupting the absorption process and causing damage to the lining. Gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases – such as diverticulosis or inflammatory bowel disease and celiac sprue (intolerance of gluten found in wheat products) – also result in damage to the intestinal wall.
Support the gastrointestinal barrier. The gastrointestinal cell wall is the barrier between what you ingest and the inside of your body; therefore, the integrity of this barrier is vital to your health. Support for the mucus that covers the cells in the gastrointestinal tract is very important, especially in the stomach.
Provide a healing environment for the small intestine. Studies show that the small intestinal tract barrier can become leaky under some conditions. The cells lose their attachment to each other resulting in a wall with holes between the cells instead of a strong, connected and continuous surface. When this “leaky gut” happens, molecules can get inside the body that normally wouldn’t be transported through the intestinal cell wall. Things that should get in can’t and the body doesn’t get the nutrition it needs. Anything that irritates the lining of the gastrointestinal tract can cause leaky gut, but a major contributor is inflammation (e.g., food allergies). Leaky gut occurs under stress. It is found after radiation treatments and some chemotherapy for cancer, with diseases such as inflammatory bowel, and bacterial infections.
Eliminating food you are intolerant, or allergic, to can help provide a healing environment in the small intestine. Carotenoids, a precursor to Vitamin A, may be particularly important since Vitamin A supports the maturation of epithelial cells – the type of cells that line the intestinal tract. It is the mature epithelial cells that form the strongest barrier in the intestinal tract. Carotenoids are found at high levels in vegetables, especially the orange- and red-colored vegetables.
The cells that line the intestinal tract need fuel to continue their process of nutrient intake. The preferred fuel for these cells is the amino acid called glutamine, which can be obtained from proteins. The small intestinal tract cells also require energy to maintain the integrity of the cell wall. Production of energy requires healthy levels of Vitamin B-5. Mushrooms, cauliflower, sunflower seeds, corn, broccoli, and yogurt are concentrated sources of Vitamin B-5. The intestinal tract cells also require a number of vitamins, so adequate overall nutrition is necessary.
Learn how to deal with stress effectively. Research has shown that the intestine responds negatively to stress. The intestinal lining becomes leaky, absorption is less effective, and your body is unable to selectively take up the nutrients it needs. Foods with a calming effect include herbal teas, like chamomile. Alcohol, caffeine, and refined carbohydrates, like table sugar, should be avoided. Eating meals at regular times and in a relaxed environment can also help decrease stress.

Thermal simulation is a powerful tool that we use for several applications in our work. The result gives us a better way of understanding complicated coupled processes in hydraulic and thermal applications. Common simulations are:
- Evaluation of measured data (flow, pressure, temperature).
- Data response at defect development (at PFMA studies).
- Optimization of monitoring systems.
- Detection of leakage from pipelines.
Simulations are made using the multi-physics software COMSOL™. Of special interest is to study the temperature change due to a seepage increase, especially at internal erosion which is one of the major reasons for embankment dam failures. By modelling we can demonstrate the usefulness of temperature monitoring for seepage detection.
If you have any inquiry, please contact us.

"The ingredient in the box is the right one."
Translation:L'ingrediente nella scatola è quello giusto.
"L'ingrediente nella scatola è il giusto." is not accepted. Is that how it should be?
I seem to not have understood "quello" yet... If someone would use "that" for "quello", the English sentence would be phrased("The ingredient in the box is that right one").
I would be happy with an Italian sentence like "Quello ingrediente nella scatola è il giusto."
... how can I understand the "quello" in front of "giusto"?
"quello" means "the one". It's a pronoun indicating one of the ingredients. "Il giusto" might be "the just man" or something.
Because it's a pronoun. "Quel" is an adjectival form, which means it goes right before a noun.
Thank you for the explanation! Again, for me as a Duo user that one was just a random choice back then;)
I would say it's because ''quello'' also means ''the one'' while ''questo'' only means ''this''. Therefore they can't be used as synonymous for sentences like this.
I wrote this and get it wrong, anyone knows why? : l'ingrediente nella scatola è il corretto.
Why is it quello giusto and not quella giusta? It looks like ingrediente is female...?
The word ingrediente is masculine.
We can obviously see that ingrediente is started with the vowel i, hence the definite article that fits to it is lo. So, the determiner for ingrediente is quello.
But I would think the sentence would translate to "L'ingrediente nella scatola è lo giusto"...

Recovery from training is something majority of us neglect, but it’s such an important factor we should all consider making it a “must do” after each training session, competition or event. Inadequate recovery is so important, not just for elite athletes, but for the everyday athlete too! A fact a lot of people are unaware of, is that muscle growth and improved fitness is influenced just as much, if not more by rest and recovery, than actually exercising or training. So while training is vital to good health and longevity, recovery should never be overlooked.
So we would assume that without a doubt, you have pulled up sore, tight and achy after a training session. This is known as DOMS (delayed onset of muscle soreness) and occurs usually a day or two after. Here are some tips and strategies you could incorporate into your routine post and pre-training.
HYDRATION! Exercise and an increased metabolic rate both increase the body’s need for water and electrolytes. It has been suggested that the minimum amount of fluid intake per day for males is 3.7L/day and 2.7L/day for females. Hydration plays a big part in repairing our muscles. Exercise causes muscles to become stronger by first breaking them down and then rebuilding them using muscle protein synthesis. This protein synthesis, however, requires that muscles are well hydrated. If you are dehydrated following a workout, the protein synthesis that rebuilds muscles will be slowed and subsequently will delay your recovery from the workout.
SLEEP! You’ve probably all heard how important sleep is. During sleep, our hormonal secretion is one of the most important factors influencing recovery; after all, the purpose of sleep is to induce a state of recovery in the body so that the muscles can repair, rebuild, and strengthen. Anabolic (muscle-building) hormone concentrations and activity increase during sleep while catabolic (muscle-wasting) hormone concentrations and activity decrease.
CARBOHYDRATES! Did you know that Carbohydrates are the muscles major source of immediate energy; therefore, eating carbohydrates is essential at refueling your body’s glycogen stores. Your body refuels glycogen at a higher rate within 30 to 60 minutes post workout so it’s important to consume a post-workout snack or shake during this time. Along with carbohydrates, eating potassium-rich foods among other nutrients like sodium, calcium, and magnesium are key minerals which play a role in muscular energy and aid in repairing damaged tissue post exercise.
MASSAGE! Everyone loves getting a massage but did you know that it can reduce muscle stiffness, promote circulation and induce a state of relaxation in the muscle. In addition to massage, you can get yourself a foam roller and self-massage, or Self Myofascial Release. It might be painful during, but SMR can be performed the night of a hard workout to remove scar tissue, adhesions in the muscle and restrictions in the fascia (a type of connective tissue that wraps around the whole body). You could even roll a baseball, golf ball or massage stick over all major muscle groups until you find a sensitive spot. Apply direct pressure until the pain dissipates and you feel the muscle release. Roll over the muscle again and repeat if necessary. Even if massage doesn’t speed up recovery completely, it will definitely make moving your sore body easier in the days following a hard session.
STRETCHING! Now while stretching hasn’t been proven to actually improve muscle soreness and aid recovery, it does help to restore the body to a more neutral state. During a workout, repetitive muscular contractions occur, leaving your muscles in a shortened state afterward. Stretching specific areas that may feel tight after a workout can aid in lengthening those muscles out and easing that tight feeling in the body. Stretching may not be the most beneficial thing you can do after a workout, but it is definitely not the worst thing you can do. We recommend it!
ICE BATH AND WATER THERAPY! Although during winter it isn’t too appealing to jump into an Ice Bath or use Water Therapy (alternating hot and cold shower), it has been shown that doing so can assist in faster recovery, reducing muscle soreness and preventing injury. The theory behind this method is that by repeatedly constricting and dilating blood vessels it helps to remove (or flush out) waste products such as lactic acid in the tissues. If you don’t have a tub to fill with ice or access to an ice bath try this. While taking your post-exercise shower, alternate 2 minutes of hot water with 30 seconds of cold water. Repeat four times with a minute of moderate temperatures between each hot-cold spray. This is known as water or contrast therapy and can have the same benefits of having an ice bath!
Incorporating some of these into your daily post-exercise routine will hopefully help aid in a better recovery. Try some out and let us know how you go.

From the introduction:
In 1903, Briton William James II led an expedition to Syria to excavate the mound of Tell Sabir Khirbet. He was inspired by Heinrich Schliemann's excavations of Troy in the 1870s, where Schliemann found 3,500 year old golden cats, and proved that a historic core was behind the myth. William James III dug four meters down and then uncovered layers of a ruined city.
After months of excavations the expedition reached found a truly ancient layer of ruis. That night, miners disappeared from the camp, and subsequently William James III never announced his findings. But his unpublished, secret notes have been passed down in his family. The tell of the founding of the royal family Mokai of Khorajah in the ninth century after the downfall of Atlantis.

What Is Infrared
Infrared is invisible light beam having longer wavelength and lower frequency than that of visible light. Infrared radiation was invented by William Herschel. He found infrared radiation in sunlight on 11 February 1800. William Herschel was born on 15 November 1738 in Holy Roman Empire and died on 25 August 1822 at the age of 83 years in England. He had also discovered Uranus in 1781.
There are so many applications of Infrared which are vary useful for us. Some applications are as follow,
(1)Night vision :
Night vision devices are works on infrared technology. Using night vision devices we can see even when there is not enough light to see using naked eyes.
Thermographic device like Thermographic camera use the radiation reflected from the object to capture image. Thermography is normally use in military and industries.
Now a day infrared technology use in mobile phones to communicate with other infrared device to transfer images, music files and other files. Infrared is also use in our television remote to communicate with television. Today there are so many infrared sensors are available in market which is use in large quantity for communications.
This image of earth was taken by GOES 6 satellite in 1986.
Some Infrared Products :
(1) IR Day Night Camera

This week we completed a monumental project: Critical Educational Outcomes:
Model Standards for Academic, Social, Emotional, and Character Development.
These Standards are the content backbone of CHARACTER COUNTS! 5.0, a comprehensive, integrated school improvement and student development system.
The document incorporates the essence of Common Core, 21st Century Skills, and social/emotional learning. It draws on the latest research and findings in the areas of executive functioning, growth mindset, change theory, the whole child, emotional intelligence, cognitive development, and instructional strategies. It represents hundreds of hours of work.
We hope you will take the time to read it. It will help you understand how CHARACTER COUNTS! has evolved and how its capacity to transform schools has grown. If you have been using CHARACTER COUNTS!, you will want to “upgrade” to this new platform. (Not upgrading to CHARACTER COUNTS! 5.0 is like staying on Windows 3.0 when Windows 8 is available.)
How to upgrade? Attend a Student Development Seminar (SDW). We’ve modified this three-day training to reflect everything contained in this document.
Up next: We’re working on a new “matrix” that will help you achieve these critical educational outcomes. We’re also developing a variety of new products that will reflect the Model Standards and the matrix.
“Our training at the end of the month in Colombia will be based on these Model Standards (the document is being translated into Spanish now), and all future CHARACTER COUNTS! trainings and workshops in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Nigeria, and Costa Rica will be based on the educational outcomes articulated in this document.”
Your feedback is always welcome — feel free to post a comment below.

Gille Chlerig, Earl of Mar
Gille Chlerig,1 also Gillocheri 2 or Gillocher, Gillocher or Gylocher is a Gaelic name attested only in a Latin source, a 13th-century forgery designed to advance the cause of Scottish independence. The name is highly corrupted, and therefore the name and meaning is unclear. Gille Chlerig is not known in any capacity other than being father of Morggán, but most scholars seem to be comfortable accepting him as the Mormaer of Earl of Mar who preceded his son Morggán.

Welcome to 9th Grade Physics!
Kirsten Pendleton [email protected]
10/15/18 -- Students are studying the concept of energy, the forms it can take, and its conservation. By now students should have completed Checkpoints 1 and 2, and have completed the Energy Basics focus area.
Over the next two weeks students will be completing the Energy Models unit. Students should be working on the Conservation of Energy focus area during self-directed learning (SDL) time and on their own. This week we will begin Checkpoint 3, the Rubber Band Investigation. The final project will have students assess (conceptually and mathematically) the energy changes in a design of their own.
I am available most days after school if you need assistance!

Ducks require almost twice the amount of niacin or vitamin B3 then what is required for chickens. This increased requirement is related to their inability to synthesize niacin from tryptophan efficiency, resulting from the presence of high amounts of enzyme, picolinic acid carboxylase in the liver.
Table 1: Picolinic Acid Carboxylase Activity in Different Species
|Species||Units/g Liver (wet basis)|
|Table Adapted from Scott et al. (1982)|
Causes of Niacin Deficiency
Ducklings are at risk of niacin deficiency if they are fed a poor quality diet which does not provide enough niacin, such as feed intended for chickens.
Niacin Deficiency Symptoms
Clinical signs of niacin deficiency in ducklings vary depending on the severity of the deficiency. Most typical signs include bowed legs and/or enlarged hock joints. These birds will ultimately become so crippled and weak that they cannot walk.
Dietary Sources of Niacin
Niacin is widely distributed in feedstuffs of both plant and animal origin. The best food sources of niacin include distiller’s grains, Brewer's yeast, beets, fish, various distillation and fermentation solubles, sunflower seeds, and certain oilseed meals. The availability of niacin in grain and grain by-products is very low. Other sources of niacin include tablets or capsules in both regular and timed-release forms.

Removes a table.
DROP TABLE [IF EXISTS] name [, ...] [CASCADE | RESTRICT]
DROP TABLE removes tables from the database. Only its owner may drop a table. To empty a table of rows without removing the table definition, use DELETE or TRUNCATE.
DROP TABLE always removes any indexes, rules, triggers, and constraints that exist for the target table. However, to drop a table that is referenced by a view, CASCADE must be specified. CASCADE will remove a dependent view entirely.
- IF EXISTS
- Do not throw an error if the table does not exist. A notice is issued in this case.
- The name (optionally schema-qualified) of the table to remove.
- Automatically drop objects that depend on the table (such as views).
- Refuse to drop the table if any objects depend on it. This is the default.
Remove the table mytable:
DROP TABLE mytable;
DROP TABLE is fully conforming with the SQL standard, except that the standard only allows one table to be dropped per command. Also, the IF EXISTS option is a Greenplum Database extension.

The biggest cause of animal cruelty on the planet is the intense, disturbing and profiteering process of factory farming animals for our food. Two in every three farm animals are factory farmed (that’s over 50 billion every year! – yes BILLION!). These intensive systems prioritise production above all else, creating vast quantities of seemingly cheap meat, milk and eggs.
But factory farming comes at a grave cost. Animals are treated as commodities and are often raised in intense confinement. Factory farming is highly dependent on large quantities of precious resources, such as grain-based feed, water, energy and medication. This archaic method of food production has failed.
Despite the vast body of evidence that shows factory farming to be a negative for animals, communities, our health and the planet, the spread of this backwards system of agriculture is showing no signs of slowing down. Why? Because of a tangled web of complex forces, which confuse and mislead everyone from the public to politicians. We think it’s time to untangle this web. A report written by the Compassion for World Farming organisation begins to untangle the web and explain the issues.
One of the first steps towards a better standard of living (and quite frankly dying) for our farm animals, is to improve the labelling on the food that we buy. We advocate the following reforms:
1. End non-stun slaughter.
2. Mandatory CCTV in all slaughterhouses.
3. Improve transport conditions for livestock.
4. Clear labelling of slaughter method on meat products.

This project may not reflect the views or plans of Hyperloop Transportation Technologies.
Hyperloop: the future of intercity travel
Transportation methods we have nowadays were invented decades ago. We need much more efficient transportation in the 21st century. Hyperloop is a system that uses magnetic levitation capsules that travel in low air pressure sealed tubes with a top speed of 760 mph. It was proposed by Elon Musk in 2013 and is the form of transportation we need in the future. Many companies, including HTT (Hyperloop Transportation technologies), are now in a race to make the Hyperloop concept a reality.
In the next ten years, Hyperloop will become a reality. To stay competitive in the mid-range transportation service market, HTT will not only need strong and compelling marketing strategies to attract customers, but also an innovative product and system that can change people's perception of travel.

Around our world, people live in many different ways.
What rights and responsibilities do we have as citizens of Canada?
What luxuries do we have?
How is that different in other countries? How do children live around the world?
We compared so many aspects of our lives: education, play, housing, clean water, food, love, clothes, family, jobs, buildings, health care, safety, language.
We wondered and learned many things in reading power today!
Why sheep have curly wool? We wondered- maybe to keep them warm? Maybe they are born that way? Maybe they get curly hair in the winter? Maybe because there is no one to brush their hair so it curls up? We learned- Sheeps wool is naturally curly. The curls create pockets of air that keep the sheep warm in cold and windy weather.
Why do snails carry houses on their backs? We wondered- maybe for protection? So if a bird grabs them they don’t die? Maybe so they don’t get pinched by crabs? We learned- The shell of a snail protects it from predators and from the hot sun.
Why is the sea salty? We wondered- Maybe the fish cry a lot? Maybe the fish need the salt to live? Maybe it comes from the fish? We learned- The salt is in the rocks and stones of the earth. Rain soaks through the ground, dissolving salt along the way. The salty water runs into streams and rivers, which carry the salt to the oceans.
Where Does Pepper Come From? And Other Fun Facts. By Brigitte Raab
Miss Hampton brought a new friend to class today. Blue needed to brush his teeth to help them stay bright white. Our groups gave instructions how to brush his teeth. Miss Hampton followed the instructions…
It didn’t go quite as the students had planned.
Put it in water. What’s IT?
Put toothpaste on it. What’s IT? How much toothpaste?
Brush your teeth- outside, inside, and tongue. What part of the toothbrush? How?
Rinse toothpaste off it. Off what?
DETAILS ARE VERY IMPORTANT IN WRITING! 🙂
To watch a video of Blue’s adventure with his toothbrush, click on our instagram account grade3learningteam
Grade 3’s did a wonderful job presenting at our monthly spirit assembly. The class sang a fun rendition of It’s A Wonderful World 🙂 We then recited a poem called No difference about equality and everyone being treated the same with candles. SUPER PRESENTATION GRADE 3’s!!
February 22 is Pink Shirt day. Pink Shirt Day was started by two high school boys who saw a peer being picked on for wearing pink. They decided to show support by wearing pink the next day. February 22 has become an international day to STOP BULLYING! Great job PVS!
We were so lucky today! We had a special presentation by Mr Poitras about the cultural wheel: community, folklore, celebration, and culture. He played his fiddle and taught a dance where we moved together and switched partners. We shared it during our school cultural wheel in the gym. What a great way to appreciate community- dancing together!!
We have started a new unit in Math. We will be learning all about shapes, starting with 2D shapes and then 3D shapes.
Today we used GeoBoards to make 2D shapes: triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, octagon.
We also drew shapes on dot paper!

Sati Heer-Stavert very kindly asked my permission to link to the paper I wrote a while back on Marcus Aurelius, stoicism and reflective practice – here is the post that has resulted which I am very impressed by! Certainly Sati has provided an excellent framework to prompt students and learners to reflect on what reflection means and what the obstacles to it are….
Reflection is an important part of training, appraisal and revalidation for doctors based in the UK. However, for many doctors the very thought of reflection can cause feelings of frustration, non-engagement or even rejection. Where did we go wrong?
1. Consider the definition of reflection used in medicine
2. Understand how reflection can be assessed
3. Encourage you to read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
Oh no! A patient has complained about your refusal to supply antibiotics for a cold. Wow! This would make a really good entry in your learning portfolio:
“That men of a certain type should behave as they do is inevitable. To wish it otherwise were to wish the fig-tree would not yield its juice. In any case, remember that in a very little while both you and he will be dead, and your very names will quickly be forgotten.”

Poor - The Mosaic legislation regarding the poor is specially important.
(1.) They had the right of gleaning the fields (Lev. 19:9, 10; Deut. 24:19,21).
(2.) In the sabbatical year they were to have their share of the produce of the fields and the vineyards (Ex. 23:11; Lev. 25:6).
(3.) In the year of jubilee they recovered their property (Lev. 25:25-30).
(4.) Usury was forbidden, and the pledged raiment was to be returned before the sun went down (Ex. 22:25-27; Deut. 24:10-13). The rich were to be generous to the poor (Deut. 15:7-11).
(5.) In the sabbatical and jubilee years the bond-servant was to go free (Deut. 15:12-15; Lev. 25:39-42, 47-54).
(6.) Certain portions from the tithes were assigned to the poor (Deut. 14:28, 29; 26:12, 13).
(7.) They shared in the feasts (Deut. 16:11, 14; Neh. 8:10).
(8.) Wages were to be paid at the close of each day (Lev. 19:13).
In the New Testament (Luke 3:11; 14:13; Acts 6:1; Gal. 2:10; James 2:15, 16) we have similar injunctions given with reference to the poor. Begging was not common under the Old Testament, while it was so in the New Testament times (Luke 16:20, 21, etc.). But begging in the case of those who are able to work is forbidden, and all such are enjoined to "work with their own hands" as a Christian duty (1 Thess. 4:11; 2 Thess. 3:7-13; Eph. 4:28). This word is used figuratively in Matt. 5:3; Luke 6:20; 2 Cor. 8:9; Rev. 3:17.

Unidirectional perspective glass
One-way perspective glass (also known as: atomic mirror, one-sided mirror, SLR glass, double-sided mirror, one-way glass), is a visible light with high reflectance of the glass. The reflective surface (mirror surface) of the product must be on the light side or toward the outdoor side. When the outdoor than the bright indoor, one-way perspective glass and ordinary mirror similar to the indoor can not see the scenery, but indoor can see the outdoor scenery. When the outdoor is darker than the interior, the indoor scene can be seen outdoors, and the outdoors can be seen outdoors. Its clarity depends on the intensity of outdoor illumination.
One-way perspective glass is mainly used for hidden observation windows, holes and so on. The product can be used in public security bureau, detention center, police station, prison, court, procuratorate, karaoke OK, office, kindergarten, psychiatric hospital, school and other special places.

With the A Levels around the corner, I’ll be spending the next couple of weeks churning out free high quality content for you. Yes, you, my loyal reader. In the past few months, I have been sharpening my edge at NIE. Now, I have quite a few new tricks up my sleeve. I want to help you maximise your learning and revision time.
Thought I would give a short primer on what (I think) economics is about. So first a general overview, and then a more specific introduction to A Level H2 Economics.
Broadly speaking, Economics can be split into two fields — Microeconomics and Macroeconomics.
Are you finding it hard to recall concepts that you have read in your notes? Ever had the feeling that you definitely understood something, only to realise in the exam that you didn’t?
If these things are happening to you, it probably means you are studying wrong. (Sorry!) The most common methods used by students: summarisation, highlighting, rereading are actually some of the worst learning techniques. (Dunlosky et. al., 2013)
When income increases, do both demand and ped of a good change?
I made a video response to the question. The answer may surprise you.
Blog visitor Nicholas K. asked…
I have been cepted by economics to become econocepted. My dream is to make money for studying. You give me money, I give you grades & love. I also got 2$ how to make 5$.

Use the name Jammu and Kashmir to refer to this state in India only when information pertains to the whole state. Recognize that there are significant differences between the people and the political will in different parts of the state. When referring to the Kashmir side of the state, use Indian-administered Kashmir.
This state is administered by India. Failure to refer to India’s administration of the states misleads readers about local political realities.
Do not use the word juvenile or the phrase juvenile delinquent to refer to a person, except in specific legal contexts. Note that the age of consent varies by country. Include context noting local legal definitions when relevant.
Sources of every age must be referred to with dignity. Precise terms are necessary for reader clarity.

In India, it is a part of our culture to eat with our hands. But, in some parts of the world, it is considered inappropriate. Here are some food customs you can tell your kids about.
By Ashwin Dewan
Anushka’s son has been adamant on eating with a fork and a spoon for the past few weeks. She was confused at his sudden interest in cutlery. For, during the first few weeks after they went to the United States from India, he would eat using his hands. Later, she found out that her son’s friends at school had been teasing him about his eating habits, which involved using hands to eat.
What is considered an acceptable food custom in one country or culture may signify something else in another culture. What passes for polite in Thailand, may be considered offensive in Spain. Love cheese in your seafood? Do not try it in Italy, as it is considered extremely rude. Teach your children about these customs that involve food, from different parts of the globe.
1. Never use your left hand while eating in the Middle East
Planning a trip to the Middle East? Well, make sure you do not eat with your left hand. This is primarily because people in the region associate the left hand with other functions such as washing, bathing and using the restroom. So, if you reach out for food or eat with your left hand, it might seem disrespectful and unhygienic.
2. Do not use a fork to push food into your mouth in Thailand
Thailand offers a variety of delicious cuisines. One is spoilt for choice when it comes to the vast array of food items that are found in almost every nook and corner in Thailand. Just remember one thing. In this country, it is considered crude to use the fork to put food into your mouth. Thai people believe that one should use the fork to only push food into the spoon.
3. Slurp your way to a tasty meal in Japan
Often, in many countries, making sounds while eating is considered ill-mannered and rude. And slurping is a big NO. However, in Japan, slurping noodles and soup is not only considered acceptable but many believe that it improves the flavour of the dish. Additionally, it is meant as a signal that the dish is enjoyed.
4. When in Italy, never combine fish and cheese
The Italians are known for their love of food and are famed for their cheese like parmesan cheese and mozzarella. However, don’t ever try to mix cheese and seafood. Why? It is considered a sin in Italy to do this as it is seen as a culinary disaster.
5. The eldest takes the first bite in South Korea
In South Korea, when people assemble for a meal, they wait for the oldest or the eldest person in the table to eat first before eating themselves. When others wait for the elder to take the first bite, it is seen as a great sign of respect.
6. Chopstick rules are strictly followed in China
Do you love to eat with chopsticks? Are you eager to test your chopstick skills on your next visit to China? Just remember that if you leave your chopsticks sticking upright in a bowl is considered bad manners to the point of being upright rude. One reason is this act is common during funerals when the Chinese make offerings to the departed. It is also considered rude to wake your chopsticks in someone’s direction.
7. India and the concept of a clean plate
In India, an empty plate means that you have enjoyed the food that has been served. It also shows that you honour your host by expressing the food was tasty. However, this depends from culture to culture. In China, for example, it could mean that your host did not serve you enough or feed you to the point you would leave a little bit of uneaten food.
8. Tea time in Britain
The British are known for their love of tea. And the customs that accompany the beverage. To begin, when one is stirring the tea, one should take utmost care to ensure the spoon does not touch the sides of the cup. The spoon should also not be left in the cup after stirring, it should be placed on the saucer.
9. Chile and it's no hands policy
In Chile, people try to eat almost everything with a fork and a knife. Even if the food involves items that can be enjoyed more with the hands like chicken drumsticks and wings, it is customary to use a fork and a knife. Here, the people believe that food should never be eaten with one’s hands.
10. No asking for salt and pepper in Egypt and Portugal
Many a times, your little one may have asked for a little bit of salt or pepper when eating out. However, in Egypt and Portugal, asking for salt and pepper is seen as a huge insult to whoever cooked the food.
There you are. Now that you know ten of the strange and interesting food customs around the world, be sure to remember them to avoid offending the food culture of a country.

The tune was written in 1785 by German composer, one Mr. Hoffmaster, a dwarf from New York specifically for Philadelphia actor and dancer John Durang (1768-1821). Hoffmaster gave the thespian violin lessons. In his memoirs Durang speaks of hearing the tune in the cities as well as in the land over the Blue Mountains (Pennsylvania's). Durang became a famous acrobatic dance performer, able to dance a hornpipe on 13 eggs blindfolded without breaking a one. (Kuntz) Actually he danced among 13 eggs. (Blech) Our setting comes from Kentucky fiddler Jake Phelps (1885-1977) from Todd County near Elkton, recorded in 1973. Phelps learned many of his tunes, including this one, from local fiddler Will Stegall (b.ca.1869) who had learned his tunes in the Purchase Section of Western Kentucky. Other Todd County fiddlers, particularly African American George Holland, supplied more of his extensive repertory of unusual tunes. (Titon: 32, 213). The A part of the tune is standard, but the B part is modal, following an unusual melody line not found in other settings. Phelps came from an area heavily influenced by Black musicians. (Greene) What effect that may have had on the melody is speculative.

Discover the cosmos! Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer.
2002 December 24
Explanation: Spring reached the north pole of Mars in May, and brought with it the usual dust storms. As the north polar cap begins to thaw, a temperature difference occurs between the cold frost region and recently thawed surface, resulting in swirling winds between the adjacent regions. In the above image mosaic from the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft currently orbiting Mars, the white material is frozen carbon dioxide that covers much of the extreme north. The choppy clouds of at least three dust storms can be identified.

What is antiperspirant for? From the name itself, you can pretty much guess it's against ("anti") perspiration, or more simply, sweat. So you know the main fact about antiperspirant. But there are other things you probably didn't know about that little stick that you throw into your gym bag. Read on to find out more.
How do antiperspirants work?
Antiperspirants contain compounds made of either aluminum or methenamine. These compounds work to plug the sweat ducts. Your body senses that your sweat ducts are plugged, so it sends a message to reduce sweat flow. When you apply antiperspirants topically to the skin, you're essentially reducing sweat from coming out onto your skin, helping to prevent wetness and odour.
What's the difference between antiperspirant and deodorant?
Deodorant doesn't work the same way as antiperspirants. Deodorants help reduce body odour by killing off odour-causing bacteria (body odour comes from sweat mixing with bacteria that live on our skin) or including fragrances to mask odour. However, they do not help reduce sweating. So if you're trying to combat sweat, your best bet is to use an antiperspirant. If sweat and smell worry you, then you may want to choose a product that is both an antiperspirant and a deodorant. Some antiperspirants are also scented to keep you smelling fresh.
Are antiperspirants effective?
Yes, antiperspirants are effective at reducing sweat.
When and how should I apply antiperspirant?
Before applying antiperspirants, make sure the area you are applying on is completely dry. Then apply a light layer of the antiperspirant to the skin, making sure to cover the skin where you tend to get wet.
Antiperspirants work best when applied at night to the affected areas. Before bed is the best time because people sweat less at night, so when you apply the antiperspirant, little or none of it gets washed away by sweat. When you sweat less, it also means more of the antiperspirant is absorbed into the skin, allowing more sweat ducts to be plugged. Wash the antiperspirant off in the morning to help prevent skin irritation. If irritation isn't an issue, you can just leave it on; the antiperspirant should work throughout the day even after a morning shower.
Will antiperspirant irritate my skin?
Skin irritation and discomfort may occur with antiperspirants. To help prevent this:
- Wash off strong antiperspirants in the morning after you've left it on overnight.
- Do not apply antiperspirant on recently shaved skin; wait 24 to 48 hours.

Essential oils are very concentrated. It is important that you understand the precautions with essential oils before using it because when they are not correctly used they can be harmful. Bringing aromatherapy into your life should not cause you to worry, but you must treat therapeutic essential oils as medicines.
These basic precautions with essential oils will ensure you safely enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy. You should not consider this a complete reference. Anytime you are unsure, talk to your doctor or an aromatherapy practitioner.
- Some essential oils can cause allergic reactions or sensitization in a small number of people. Therefore, the first time you use an essential oil topically, you should do a skin patch test on a small area of skin.
- Never use an essential oil undiluted on your skin. Occasionally an experienced user will make an exception to this precaution, but you should not do this until you have significant knowledge about essential oils. Until then never apply an essential oil to your skin until you have diluted it with a carrier oil.
- Some essential oils are phototoxic. These essential oils can cause blistering, inflammation, redness, or burning when they are exposed to UVA rays.
- If you have epilepsy, are pregnant, asthma, or a health condition, there are some essential oils that you should not use. Before using any essential oil, you need to do your research and review all safety precautions associated with each essential oil.
- Less is better. When you use essential oils, you should use the smallest amount of essential oil that is effective For example, if 1-2 drops are called for, start with one drop and see how that goes, then up to two drops if one is ineffective. Essential oils are concentrated and using more is wasteful.
- Not all essential oils should be used in aromatherapy. Onion, camphor, pennyroyal, wormwood, bitter almond, etc. are examples of a few of the essential oils that you should not use in aromatherapy.
- Store essential oils away from kids. Some essential oils like citrus oils can smell good and your child might be tempted to drink them so store out of the reach of children. After all, they are medicines that are potentially poisonous in the hands of children.
- Don’t ingest essential oils. The only time you should ingest essential oils is when a qualified aromatherapy practitioner prescribes or you have a recipe that you completely trust.
- Essential oils are flammable. Store essential oils away from fire hazards. Read more on precautions with essential oils on Are Essential Oils Safe?

Entrepreneurs in California were pioneers of the American oil industry in the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. One of the oldest still producing oil fields in the U.S. is located in the Golden State in which in 1901 the Midway-Sunset field was discovered.
California was one of the pillars of American energy security. That, however, has changed due to declining production. Since its peak in 1985, production has plunged almost 60 percent to 460,000 barrels per day. Next to this, the Golden State’s oil reserves have declined 25 percent to 2.2 billion barrels. This reversal doesn't only impact the state’s economic situation, but also its position towards foreign producers who are increasingly required to supply the necessary oil.
California’s demise as an essential producer of hydrocarbons is especially staggering due to the transformation of the American fossil fuel industry. The shale revolution has propelled the North American country into becoming one of the world's largest producers of fossil fuels. U.S. crude oil production has soared to record heights, rising 140 percent in a couple of years to 12.1 million bpd. North Dakota has become the second oil producing state in the U.S. due to the shale revolution. Fracking technology has unlocked previously unreachable resources which have doubled U.S. oil reserves to 45 billion barrels.

Ironically, California is the second biggest consumer of oil in the U.S. after Texas. Approximately, 40 million gallons of gasoline, 8 million gallons of diesel, and 20 percent of the country’s jet fuel are consumed in the Golden State each day. Notably after Alaska’s production decreased significantly over the years, California has become more dependent on Middle Eastern oil due to stringent environmental rules. The Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) has hampered the prospect of using heavier crude which is produced locally and in Canada. Instead, lighter oil that is supplied by OPEC’s member states, for example, makes up for 37 percent of California’s oil imports.
The state’s predominantly Democratic electorate and leadership generally opposes pipelines that could pump high-quality, lower cost shale oil from other U.S. states. California does hold some promising shale formations in its central and southern parts which could hold at least 20 billion barrels of recoverable oil and gas. Current Governor Gavin Newsom, however, is not supportive of the shale industry. According to a study by the Price School of Public Policy at the University of Southern California, fracking could add millions of jobs and tens of billions in tax revenues. California, however, has chosen a different path when it comes to energy policy.
Despite President Trump’s unilateral withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, the Golden State has declared its commitment to combatting climate change. California’s geography is highly favorable for wind and solar energy production. In addition, the state has set itself the goal of having at least 5 million electric vehicles on the roads by 2030. Although this sounds impressive, it adds up to only 15 percent of the entire car fleet which means that the majority of vehicles would still be running on fossil fuels.
Despite the energy transition, natural gas is still the most important source in the energy mix in the Golden State. In the short term, California could be even worse of when it comes to gas due to declining regional production and reluctance to allow fracking. Already, 95 percent of the consumed gas is imported while neighboring states are increasing their share of natural gas in the energy mix due to environmental and cost-efficiency reasons. Growing competition could lead to an undersupplied market and relative scarcity which increases costs and dependency on foreign suppliers. Fortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case anytime soon due to the massive influx of fracked natural gas which has lowered energy prices significantly in the U.S.
However, ‘continued decline’ instead of ‘collapse’ are more appropriate words to describe the Californian oil and gas industry. The state’s energy outlook isn’t promising due to the decreasing local production and continued dependence on foreign suppliers which could affect the state’s economic and strategic position without a significant impact on the environment.

Role of GABAB receptors in learning and memory and neurological disorders
Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews
First page number:
Last page number:
Although it is evident from the literature that altered GABAB receptor function does affect behavior, these results often do not correspond well. These differences could be due to the task protocol, animal strain, ligand concentration, or timing of administration utilized. Because several clinical populations exhibit learning and memory deficits in addition to altered markers of GABA and the GABAB receptor, it is important to determine whether altered GABAB receptor function is capable of contributing to the deficits. The aim of this review is to examine the effect of altered GABAB receptor function on synaptic plasticity as demonstrated by in vitro data, as well as the effects on performance in learning and memory tasks. Finally, data regarding altered GABA and GABAB receptor markers within clinical populations will be reviewed. Together, the data agree that proper functioning of GABAB receptors is crucial for numerous learning and memory tasks and that targeting this system via pharmaceuticals may benefit several clinical populations. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

The SAY IT Program is designed to provide Students with a positive and motivating experience. The on-line, self-paced self-advocacy skills course builds the self-determination, skill, and confidence that Students need to achieve goals, reduce stress, thrive, and enjoy life. Sign up and get started.
It is a student-focused, secure, private course.
Readiness. SAY IT suggests this program for individuals who have basic computer skills and a desire to develop more self-determination and self-advocacy skills.
Self-direction. Students will be directed into the course and put on track to set their first goal. However, they will have several additional options from the Dashboard.
Blog posts. Students could elect to read blog posts that are designed to highlight diversity in the advocacy community, feature models of advocacy, relate real-life advocacy work to the SAY IT Program curriculum, and provide self-advocacy tips. Because blog posts reinforce learning and provide access to diversity representation in the program, Students earn badges for looking at the Blog posts.
Find Resources. Students could navigate to Find Resources. There they will find links to helpful websites organized by category, such as Legal and Consumer Resources, Adult Education Voting and Citizen Representation, Community Supports, and Legal and Consumer Resources.
Leader uploads. Students engaging in the program through direct services providers can also navigate to information and resources uploaded for them individually or to their group.
Contact an Ally or the Leader. Students may email their Allies at any time. Those working with a direct services provider can reach out to the leader assigned to them.
Building Self-Determination. The SAY IT Program is student-driven and requires motivation and effort to maintain forward momentum.
Self-Determination Theory. The program is designed to enhance motivation and forward momentum through the use of a variety of video formats and an evidence-based theory of motivation called Self-Determination Theory (SDT).
- Methods. SDT operationalizes autonomy, competence, and relatedness to enhance motivation.
- Autonomy. To build motivation through autonomy, the course starts by building an Advocacy Mindset. Students also experience autonomy in being able to select from multiple learning options each time they enter the site.
- Competence. Each module builds to a clear output, which is the work that the Student types into the guided strategy-builder. Students experience a sense of accomplishment from synthesizing the learning and personalizing it for their own goal.
- Relatedness. To build motivation through relatedness, Student engagement and trainer rapport are maintained through videos of the program’s founder that students encounter regularly throughout the program. Those videos infuse empathy, friendly positivity, and encouragement throughout the program, as well as pull students back to the big picture, reconnecting them to their motivation.
Emotional experience. The student will likely have a full spectrum of experiences when taking the advocacy course diligently. The program anticipates this and regularly suggests consulting with an Ally, such as a trusted friend, counselor, peer, coach, or other direct services provider, in order to process feelings, get a new perspective, or seek additional help.
Satisfaction. Initially, Students feel great satisfaction to learn that there is a high quality, visually appealing online training made specifically to help them find their own voice and achieve their own goals.
Relevance. The program feels relevant and useful to them, unlike some group treatment curricula that may feel stale or require individuals to spend time on topics that do not feel relevant to their immediate, individual circumstances. This is particularly true for individuals who have already received services numerous times and have encountered the same material during prior services.
Momentum. On the private Dashboard Students see their progress at all times. This helps Students maintain a sense of their momentum and continue moving ahead.
Difficult emotions. Students can feel some sadness, regret or other emotions resulting from reflection and introspection. This is common as individuals assess their needs, which can feel overwhelming. The program anticipates this and again, throughout the programs, prompts Students to contact their Allies for support.
Positivity. Common feedback is that Karen (our founder, who is features in the training videos) has a bright and warm personality and a strong conviction that, no matter a person’s circumstances, they have important things to say. That positivity helps Students find new perspectives and hope as they learn self-advocacy.
Diversified support network. The SAY IT Program regularly prompts Students to cultivate many diverse allies who can provide comfort, encouragement, or guidance in an array of areas.
Information retention. Each chapter in the SAY IT Program course uses time-tested teaching and instruction techniques. This attention to Student learning maximizes retention and preparing Students for developing comprehensive strategies for achieving personalized goals.
Chapter content. Students will move through the same progression in each chapter.
- Overview of material in the chapter
- Content of module — videos, graphics, brief and concise text
- Strategy building assignments that Students complete and save in the program
- Learning aids and resources
Text. Students will encounter brief text in each chapter, however, the information is concise and will not require much time to review.
Colorful graphics. Visually, in each chapter, Students will encounter graphics in calming color schemes of blues and purples. These graphics communicate key concepts in an eye-pleasing and intuitive way.
Training videos. The training materials consist primarily of professionally produced media, led by Karen. As a trainer, Karen has consistency, competence, humor, and warmth. This creates a comforting feeling and sense of belonging for Students as they view the videos.
Review options. At any time the Students can replay videos or view any course material, contact an Ally or their Leader, and utilize the wealth of topical information organized to assist Students in completing their personal advocacy strategy.
Strategy building. Each chapter covers one step in the self-advocacy process.
- Cumulative process. At the end of the multimedia materials presented in each chapter, Students will use their learning to develop their own self-advocacy strategy.
- Strategy guide. Students will read prompts and then type in their answers into indicated spaces in the strategy guide. The answers are saved in their account. Near the end of the program, Students will use templates to create an elevator speech that pulls together their strategy work from the earlier chapter.
Notes and organization. At any point in the program, Students can increase their sense of personal organization by using a Notes feature.
- Icon and box. The Notes icon appears on each screen. A box will open and Students can type in the box. They can access that again through the dashboard.
- Uses. Students can use this feature to document conversations, keep track of goal-related deadlines, capture their thoughts and ideas, record questions to ask, and information relating to their goal. When the Student submits the Note, it will be added to the Notes page corresponding to the goal that they are working on. They will see a date and time-stamp on each Note. Students have the option to download, print, or share individual Notes, but are not required to do so.
Sense of accomplishment. Students receive a certificate upon completion of the chapters and strategy guide. In the end, Students do report enormous joy and peace when they have completed a difficult life-task by implementing the techniques presented in this course. The longer-term experience for Students is a deeper sense of wellbeing associated with knowing and feeling that the SAY IT Program helped them with their goals and will work for future endeavors, large or small.
New goal. Students can start a new goal at any point in their work in the course. When they complete their first goal, they are prompted to begin a new one.
Autonomy. To increase the Students’ autonomy, the Students may elect to skip videos that they have already seen or they can choose to review certain videos. This gives them the comfort of continued and convenient access to the content, but the freedom to move more quickly when needed.

Tannins are a broad class of compounds that is present in tea, red wine, cocoa, chocolates, coffee, some herbal preparations, grapes and certain fruits like blackberries and cranberries.
Their properties are well remarkable, but not completely understood. Most of the tannins fight cavities, diarrhea, and some even protect heart diseases and cancer. They disable bacteria in the mouth, which inhibits plaque formation. Tooth decay is also prevented. But they stain teeth.
Gathering property of tannin:
Their power mainly comes from the property of astringency. It is the kind of dry, tightening and wrinkling feeling in the mouth. It is often felt while eating fruits like berries. They attach to the proteins in the saliva, creating a rough, sensation of the mouth, resembling ‘sandpaper’.
The tannin compounds that are present in some plants, provides them protection against predation. This also makes them to act as pesticides and to regulate the growth of plants. The feeling inside our mouth, on consumption of improperly ripened fruits, is also because of tannins.
Tannins also have the ability to trap some minerals, including iron- especially the iron in plant foods. So it is better to drink tea along with food, to limit the absorption of iron.
The addition of milk or lemon to tea also helps to reduce the effect of tannins. The tannins bind to anything that is added to it. It is also better to drink tea between meals.
The term tannin often confuses people, as there are individual tannins which vary greatly.
1. Most of them are polyphenols, whereas, some others are antioxidants.
2. Antioxidants, protects from heart diseases.
3. Prevents cancer by preventing cellular damage.
4. Polyphenols are examined for their potential health benefits.
5. Polyphenols in grapes are called resveratrol, in green and black tea, it is catechin.
Remedy by nature:
Since the tannins are well known for their astringent property, they had been used as a base for several herbal treatments. They may be mostly used in the form of tea.
Certain health experts recommend the use of some tannin- containing herbs to keep away certain everyday ailments. Some of them are;
a. Commonly seen as shrubs or small trees.
b. Roots are rich in nitrogen fixing bacteria.
c. Fruit is usually coated with wax.
d. Used for the spicing of beer.
e. Rich in tannins and can be used to stop diarrhea, nausea, and treat inflammation of intestine.
a. Small aggregate fruit with small drupelets (fleshy part surrounding a shell) associated with it.
b. They are rich in tannins, dietary fiber, vitamin C and K.
c. It promotes good bowel movement, stops bleeding from small cuts, and reduce diarrhea.
a. Rich flavored, aggregate fruit.
b. Consists of a juicy pulp and a central seed.
c. Contains catechins (tannins), manganese, vitamin K, etc.
d. Also have antioxidants, flavanoids and phenols.
e. They help to overcome morning sickness in pregnant women, and also stops diarrhea.
a. A shrub with woody stem, gray leaves and purple flowers.
b. Used in medicines and to improve flavor.
c. Used in making herbal tea.
d. Soothes bleeding gums, sore throat and respiratory ailments like asthma.

The Principles of Ruby
Ruby has a few design principles to make programming in the language less stressful and more fun for programmers of other programming languages. These design principles are:
Principle of conciseness: In general, short and concise code is needed to create programs. The initial set of steps to run a program written in English is often referred to as pseudo-code. Ruby is designed so as little additional effort is needed to translate pseudo-code into actual code. Even existing Ruby commands can be made more concise. For example, Ruby’s if statement can be written in three lines or just one.
Principle of flexibility: There are multiple ways to accomplish the same thing, and even built-in commands can be changed. For example, when writing an if-else statement you can use the words if and else, but you can also accomplish the task with a single “?”. The following code both perform the same task.
if 3>4 puts "the condition is true" else puts "the condition is false" end
puts 3>4 ? "the condition is false" : "the condition is true"

To learn Mandarin, it is very important to think like a native Mandarin speaker.
For example, when you want to ask for something in English, you may say “Could I have…or May I have…”. In Mandarin, the word for “have” is “yǒu”. One highly-used structure is “yǒu méi yǒu”. “méi yǒu”means “not have”. Literally, this structure means “ have or not have” . Let us hear some examples by using the words we have learned before.
- Yǒu méi yǒu pǐ jiǔ? Have any beer?
- Yǒu méi yǒu dǎ zhé? Have any discount?
- Yǒu méi yǒu chī fàn? Have you eaten?

Use Stuffed Animals as Reading Tools
Turn reading into playtime and put their favorite stuffed animals to work while encouraging literacy. Stuffed animals can:
*Become reading buddies– encourage your child to read out loud to a favorite stuffed animal or two. Since kids are not as self-conscious about stumbling over words when reading to a stuffed friend they can improve their fluency.
*Be used as page turners or even word pointers.
*Serve as a story character or the star of your budding storyteller’s latest made up tale. Let your child place their animals in positions that mimic the action in the story and let them speak the dialogue.

In this experiment we tied a cart to a hanging mass and measured the velocity as it passed through a gate, and recorded the mass of the cart. I calculated the potential and kinetic energy of the hanging mass and when I subtracted the potential from the kinetic, I got a negative number. Does this mean that energy was lost? Do these results make sense? Please let me know if I wasn’t descriptive enough of the scenario!

Nonnevot is a Limburgian pastry dating back to the 17th century. Hailing from the town of Sittard, the pastry has traditionally been associated with carnival (Limburgian: Vastelaovend), but is nowadays sold year-round in regional bakeries. Its name: nonnevot, or nun's buttocks, comes from the knotted shape of the pastry, resembling the knot on the back of a nun's tunic. The nonnevot is prepared by deep-frying a mixture of flour, yeast, milk, salt, butter, brown sugar, and lard.

What is Reflex Incontinence?
Reflex incontinence, also called reflex urinary incontinence, occurs when bladder muscles involuntarily contract without warning or urge, causing urine leakage. Reflex incontinence is caused by the same type of bladder spasm as urge incontinence, but usually results in more leakage.
A person suffering from reflex incontinence has involuntary bladder contractions without feeling any urge to urinate. Reflex urinary incontinence can occur in both men and women and is usually the result of a problem with the central nervous system.
What causes Reflex Incontinence?
Reflex incontinence is commonly caused by a neurological impairment. Common causes of reflex incontinence include:
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Parkinson’s disease
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Treatment Using Radiation
- Surgical damage
Treatment Options for Reflex Incontinence
The first step of treatment for reflex incontinence is determining the severity of the incontinence and what may trigger it. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options may include behavioral training, medication, medical devices, or even surgery. Read more about common treatment options for urinary incontinence.
Reflex Incontinence around Nashville, TN
If you or a loved one is suffering from accidents due to reflex incontinence, it is time to see a physician. Tests can determine the type and severity of your incontinence, and a personalized treatment plan will be created for you.
If you live in middle Tennessee, the experienced physicians at the Incontinence Institute can help. Take our free self-assessment or call our discrete Medical Concierge today to learn more about how we can help treat reflex incontinence.

The smell that often blows through Monmouth comes from the local pork slaughterhouse, Farmland Foods. Pigs live a secret life that most of us in society are not aware of. According to Food and Water Watch’s interactive “Factory Farm Map,” there are 63,928 hogs in Warren County, where Monmouth College is located (n.p.), and there are three people for every one factory farmed pig (“Factory Farm Map: Illinois”). From bullets, bacon, and beer, to instruments and chemical weapons, these are just some examples of how society uses a pig once it’s slaughtered. But what is a pig's life like up until the time for slaughter?
In the breeding area, sows and gilts are housed in groups or in individual stalls, with sexually mature boars in close proximity. A sow is a female that has reproduced and a gilt is a female that has not reproduced (“Glossary”). When the females are in estrus, the period of maximum sexual receptivity of the female, the boar is released into the pen for breeding (“Estrus”). Most farms keep one boar for every twenty females. Increasingly, large farms are practicing artificial insemination—impregnating females manually with semen collected from a boar. Most farms in the U.S. are large factory farms that use this method.
According to the British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (BC SPCA) the gestation period of a sow is 115 days (“Pig Production”). During this time, sows are typically housed in individual stalls with metal side bars and slatted concrete or metal floors for most of their lives. The slatted flooring allows manure and urine to fall through into a collection pit. Sows movement is very limited due to the small space in the stalls. Since sows have very little control over the environment around them, they tend to go through intensive stress due to a number of different elements. For example, inability to move in cold areas, being next to an aggressive neighbor, not being able to avoid bugs and pests. Sows may also become stressed because they are deprived of the ability to express important natural behaviors, like socialization and nest building (“Pig Production”).
Sows are moved into the farrowing, or birthing, facility a few days before farrowing is expected. The size of the farrowing crate is similar to the gestation stall but has separate areas along the sides of the crate for piglets only. Farrowing crates also typically have adjustable guardrails to protect piglets from being crushed by the sow. According to BC SPCA, the average litter size is 10-12 piglets (“Pig Production”). Sows usually have 2-3 litters of piglets per year. Piglets nurse from the sow for 14-28 days before being abruptly weaned off milk. At weaning, piglets are typically moved directly into the nursery while the sows are moved back into the breeding area (“Pig Production”).
Another fact that BC SPCA states is that weaned piglets are sorted by weight and housed in nursery pens until they are 8-10 weeks of age (“Pig Production”). Feed and water are provided at all times while these piglets complete the transition from milk to solid foods. The temperature is kept warm because young piglets are prone to chilling (“Pig Production”).
Grow-finish pigs, meaning pigs in the 50 to 250 lb body weight class being grown and fattened for slaughter, are housed in groups (“Growing”). Some producers may provide straw, rope, chain or other items in attempt to prevent problem behaviors due to pigs’ inability to express their natural habits in confinement (“Pig Production”). Pens are usually fitted with slatted floors to prevent manure buildup. The grow-finish stage begins after the piglets’ stay in the nursery. These 8-10 week-old piglets are separated into similar-sized groups and are given a high energy feed until they reach market weight. It takes approximately 5-6 months to raise a pig from birth to market weight. Once the pigs have reached market weight they are transported to a slaughterhouse, such as Farmland Foods here in Monmouth, to be killed. There, their carcasses are processed and packaged for distribution to food retailers where the meat is sold to the public.
There are many factors during transport that cause stress for pigs. According to the U.S. pork industry’s own Transport Quality Assurance Handbook, pigs may be transported for up to 28 hours without food, water or rest (“Laws”). The mixing of unfamiliar pigs and the act of loading onto the truck are considered to be the most stressful part of transportation. According to BC SPCA pigs are also sensitive to changes in temperature, vibration, acceleration and deceleration during transport. Use of low-stress handling techniques, limited mixing of unfamiliar pigs, and keeping journeys short are ways of mitigating stress at transport (“Pig Production”).
Overall, there is the secret life of pigs from birth up until slaughter. This is something that most of society is not aware of. Pigs endure considerable difficulties from birth and struggle to live their life to their fullest, just to make it to their death at around 6 months of age to become products for people to eat or use. This is something we should think about next time we are eating something that is made from a pig.

Color Conversion for Color Blindness Employing Multilayer Neural Network with Perceptual Model
In this paper, we propose a novel digital image color conversion algorithm for color blindness using a multilayer neural network. The symptoms of “color blindness” are due to an innate lack or deficit of cone cells that recognize colors, and people with color blindness have difficulty discriminating combinations of specific colors. Those people require color conversion for the presented image such that the image can be a perceptible color representation. In the proposed method, we design a multilayer neural network composed of three building blocks: layers for image color conversion, layers for perceptual model of color blindness, and layers for color discrimination. In proposed framework, a neural network is learning about a relationship of an image data and a discrimination performance of colors in an image, and a color conversion rule is trained as a part of a neural network. To validate the effectiveness of proposed method, it is applied to several images that have various color combinations.

The advancement in technology has had its share in the current world. Nowadays, we have things like building information modeling which is basically a model-based process that assists in the designing, engineering, getting a project and operational information accurately for buildings and infrastructure. It is an intelligent 3-D model. We have moved from the 2-D drawings to the 3-D models which are more accurate. It serves to enhance efficiency within the individual organizations during a coordinated project delivery.
There are very many benefits associated with building information model. The following are some of the examples of these advantages. One of them is the capture of reality. Building information model gives information close to reality. The only difference between these models and the actual buildings is the scale. Therefore, the designers benefit from a lot of things that were unable to be captured on paper. These models often contain more information than the drawings. This means that there is less rework as compared to the one that is there when using the 2-D drawings. Learn more about software at this website https://www.britannica.com/technology/software#ref189740.
The other good thing about the building information model is about the high quality. The quality of provided by these models is way higher compared to the other models. Also, there is the issue of the costs. Opting to use the building information modeling is beneficial since it lowers costs. This is because it allows more work to be done by a relatively smaller team. This means that you are going to spend less on their wages as well as in communication. In general, you attain high-quality services at very low prices.
Building information modeling at www.lodplanner.com is a relatively new technology. This means that it something that is still developing. The future models are expected to be better than what we are having right now. They are expected to be better in a number of ways. For instance, we expect enhanced visualization and productivity as well. We also expect the increase in the coordination of construction documents. The other thing is about the increase in the speed of delivery. And above all the further reduction of the overall costs.
In conclusion, there are very many benefits that have been seen so fast relating to the use of building information model. There still more that are not mentioned above. However, you must note that the future of the use of this technology is bright and that it will be of great benefit to all the players in the construction industry. Know what is bim here!

Dingo Facts 4: an intelligent animal
It is not easy to have a dingo as your domestic dog. You cannot have it to live side by side around human being. It is because of their independent nature. Dingo is also hard to train so that many people avoid dingo to have as a domestic dog.
Dingo Facts 5: apex predator
One of the apex predators in the Australia is dingo. Dingo and other terrestrial dogs in Australia form the biggest predator in the continent.
Dingo Facts 6: dingo in Asia
The population of dingoes in Asian continent is much lower compared to the ones found in Australia.
Dingo Facts 7: pest
Many people in Australia consider dingoes as a pest. Dingoes often attack the farm and livestock in the Australia. That’s why some people hunt them. However, there is a program which is used to preserve dingoes.
Dingo Facts 8: mate
Dingoes are faithful animal. They will choose a mate for a lifetime. When the female dingoes deliver the pups, both of them have the responsibility to raise the pups.
Dingo Facts 9: mating season
The female and male dingoes will mate once in a year. In South East Asia, the mating season starts in August or September. In Australia, it begins in March or June.
Dingo Facts 10: dominance
There is a unique behavior when it comes about the dominance of dingoes. The pups of other female dingoes will be killed by the dominant female dingo. This behavior is used to give her own pups the subdominant female to take care.
Most young male dingoes live alone. When they like to hunt large kangaroos, they form a group consisting of 10 dingoes. Are you satisfied with facts about Dingo?

The article, “Does stress cause our cells to age faster?” by Dr. Anthony Komaroff states
“DEAR DOCTOR K:
For years I’ve heard that chronic stress is bad for your health, but recently I heard something that made me take this seriously: Stress causes our cells to age faster. Is this really true?”
Learning to Deal with the Negative Effects of Stress
The mental effects of stress are well documented. It causes us anxiety, depression and irritability. There are also many physical effects of stress as well ranging from high blood pressure to weight gain. However does stress cause our bodies to age faster?
As it turns out yes aging is one of the negative effects of stress. Part of our cells known as telomeres are affected by stress. Telomeres are at the end of our chromosomes. Stress makes the telomeres become shorter and shorter. Once the telomere gets too short, the cell dies. Chronic stress has been shown to cause this effect.
So can dealing with stress help keep us young? The answer is yes! By keeping ourselves stress free we can slow down the shortening of our telomeres. Add increased physical activity such as exercise and a proper diet to your stress reduction program and you can in fact slow down the process of aging.

Managing Editor: Sally Kuhn Sennert
Please cite this report as:
Global Volcanism Program, 2012. Report on Lewotolo (Indonesia). In: Sennert, S K (ed.), Weekly Volcanic Activity Report, 4 January-10 January 2012. Smithsonian Institution and US Geological Survey.
8.272°S, 123.505°E; summit elev. 1423 m
All times are local (unless otherwise noted)
According to news articles, 500 people have evacuated their homes on 6 January because of increased activity at Lewotolo. Black smoke rose from the crater and rumbling sounds were reported. On 2 January CVGHM raised the Alert Level from 2 to 3 (on a scale of 1-4).
Geologic Background. Anchoring the eastern end of an elongated peninsula that is connected to Lembata (formerly Lomblen) Island by a narrow isthmus and extends northward into the Flores Sea, Lewotolo rises to 1423 m. Lewotolo is a symmetrical stratovolcano as viewed from the north and east. A small cone with a 130-m-wide crater constructed at the SE side of a larger crater forms the volcano's high point. Many lava flows have reached the coastline. Historical eruptions, recorded since 1660, have consisted of explosive activity from the summit crater.

PicoStrain: Strain Gauge / Load Cells
Strain gauge measurement is one of the big challenges for sensor
technology, especially the weighing industry. Due to the small
excitation of the strain gauges on a load cell of only 0.2 % (2000 ppm)
and due to the high resolution of 16 Bit and more, the resistors must be measured with a precision deeply in the ppb range. Reasonably, this can only be done measuring the ratio of the resistors.
Here the PICOSTRAIN measuring principle is breaking new grounds compared to A/D converters. The ratio of the resistors is ascribed to a time interval measurement, not to a voltage difference like in Wheatstone bridges. The sensor's resistors together with a capacitor act as low-pass filters. The capacitor, charged to Vcc, is discharged through the sensor's resistors. The discharge time to trigger level (selectable) is precisely measured by a TDC (Time-to-Digital Converter).
General Circuit Features
The PICOSTRAIN integrated circuits are realized without any analog component. Again, acam uses its TDC technology to set new standards in circuit design and takes the advantages of this principle like:

How do I Hide and Delete Words in ALL?
Hiding and Deleting Words Hiding a word removes that word from the current student’s ALL curriculum. Hiding a word for one student will not affect any other students. Hidden words can be reintroduced to the curriculum at any time by unhiding (showing) them.
High Interest Sight Words may be deleted. Deleting a word removes it from the selected student’s curriculum and from the system. High Interest Sight Words are unique to each student, so deleting a word will not impact other students.
1. Select any word.
2. Select Hide in the toolbar.
3. The hidden word will have gray text and the hide symbol. To unhide (show) a hidden word, simply select the word and then select Show in the toolbar.
1. Select a High Interest Sight Word.
2. Select Delete.
You cannot delete System Words. Only High Interest Sight Words can be deleted. If you would like to remove a System Word from the student’s curriculum, you should Hide it.

Memorable Manitobans: William James Winram (1838-1891)
Born in the Isle-of-Man on 8 January 1838, son of shipbuilder James Winram and Annie Hartley, he was educated at the Liverpool Collegiate Institute. He worked as a mechanical engineer in his father’s shipyard. Upon coming to Canada around 1866 he settled in Simcoe County, Ontario and resided there until May 1878, when he came to Manitoba and homesteaded in the Pembina Mountain district.
In 1860 he married Catherine Ingersoll (?-1862), daughter of Samuel Ingersoll of Ingersoll, Ontario. They had three children: James (1860-?) and twin daughters (1862-?). On 16 October 1863 he married Mary Bannerman (1835-?), a daughter of George Bannerman of Kildonan, one of the Selkirk colonists of 1815 who settled afterwards in Ontario. They had six children: George Winram (1864-?), Edward Winram (1866-?), Alexander Winram (1867-?), Philip Winram (1871-?), Elspeth Winram (1872-?), and William Winram (1874-?).
He won his first seat in the Manitoba Legislature by acclamation in 1879, and was re-elected or acclaimed at the general elections of 1883, 1886, and 1888. He was Speaker of the Legislative Assembly from 1888 to his death, after which he was replaced by James Huston. He was a Liberal and a Mason.
He died at Manitou on 12 February 1891 and was buried on his old homestead.

As we have seen, hard disks can be partitioned into different drives. However, primary (main) memory can also be split up. This is done in a completely different way to partitioning a hard disk. Make sure that you don't get confused between disk partitioning and memory partitioning.
The memory manager is the part of the operating system that deals with memory.
All applications need to be loaded into main memory before they can be executed. In order to do so, a temporary 'segment' is created by the memory manager.
Every loaded application will have some instructions or program code for the CPU to execute. The loaded application will need a data area to hold its variables. It will also need a special area called 'the stack' to handle sub-routines and interrupts. It will also need some free memory within the segment to allow the stack to grow and shrink.
A typical segment is shown below:
The example segment above is 64kb in overall size but by no means is this a fixed size. You could have a segment smaller or larger than this.
- Code segment, where the program code is stored
- Data segment, where variables defined by the code are stored whilst the application is running.
- Stack segment, starts from the top of the segment and grows downwards. The stack is used by sub-routines and interrupt service routines to hold temporary data and addresses.
There can be many segments in memory at the same time. Each one is a separate process or application and each may be a different size. As shown below.

You may see the term “hypoallergenic” accompanying a dog or dog breed, which means they tend not to trigger an allergic reaction, but have you ever wondered what that means exactly? Wonder no more!
The Root Cause of Dog Allergies
You might be thinking that it’s the shedding hair that causes your eyes to itch or makes you sneeze, but dog hair is not the culprit. A dogs skin cells (dander), saliva, and even urine, are the things that cause allergic reactions; it just so happens that dogs who shed more therefore generate more dander. Interestingly, two different dogs of the same breed can trigger varying levels of reaction in an individual.
What is the difference between a hypoallergenic dog and a non-hypoallergenic dog?
There is one thing that separates one from the other. A hypoallergenic dog tends not to shed, and tends not to generate much dander accordingly – this does mean that regular grooming and bathing is a must. They need our help to maintain healthy skins and coats! Inversely, non-hypoallergenic dogs tend to shed and create dander – which is not to say they don’t benefit just as much from regular grooming and baths, they do.
Are Hypoallergenic dogs 100% allergen-free?
Not so! They do have less dander, but still produce saliva, not to mention that the severity of reaction also depends on your body’s natural and inherently-set response to any allergen triggers. Watch out for mixed breeds too – a poodle crossed with a golden retriever (golden doodle) isn’t hypoallergenic even though it has a hypoallergenic parent.
How to Minimize Triggers
First and foremost, wash and groom your dog regularly. This goes a long way to reducing any dander output. Regularly vacuuming, sweeping, and washing pet beds, blankets and toys also reduces the potential for those items to hold on to allergens. It’s a little more work, but worth it to have a four-legged friend!
