The ecology of plants has been Dennis Whigham’s primary interest and his research has resulted in journeys through forests, fields and wetlands around the world. Explorations have lead to studies of woodland herbs – including orchids, vines, wetland species, invasive species and studies of forests in the tropics, temperate and boreal zones. In recent years, studies of interactions between orchids and fungi have lead in new and exciting directions. Whigham’s current focus is on wetlands, including the role of wetlands associated with juvenile salmon habitat in Alaska; the rarest terrestrial orchid in eastern North America; and invasive species. His current passion is to establish the North American Orchid Conservation Center (NAOCC), an initiative of the Smithsonian and the United States Botanic Garden. NAOCC will be based on continentally focused public-private collaborations that will result in the conservation of the genetic diversity of native orchids, initially in the U.S. and Canada.
Whigham obtained an undergraduate degree from Wabash College and a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina. He joined the Smithsonian in 1977. Whigham and his collaborators have published more than 235 articles in journals and books and he has co-edited 10 books. | 2019-04-20T10:21:26 | https://serc.si.edu/staff/dennis-whigham/whighamd6132002 |

Big K.R.I.T. and T.I. are proven masters of car songs. Both Southern MCs love old schools, boomin’ systems, hydraulics, and “bowling ball swirl.” Grand Hustle/Hustle Gang singer Mitchelle’l already made a song rooted in that Texas Slab Music sound. “Spillin’ Drank” is a gliding record that sounds like what would happen if Bobby Womack pushed a candy-painted Fleetwood Brougham convertible, chuckin’ the deuce. | 2019-04-20T10:45:41 | https://ambrosiaforheads.com/2015/07/big-k-r-i-t-t-i-make-a-retro-melodic-car-cut-with-mitchellel-audio/ |

14 February 2017, Oxford - Oxford Genetics, a leader in innovative synthetic biology-based technologies, today announces $500,000 in funding from Innovate UK to support the development of its mammalian display antibody discovery technology.
In collaboration with an Oxford-based biopharma company, Oxford Genetics is working to discover novel antibodies against human proteins, for immunotherapy applications. Unlike traditional methods of discovering new antibodies which use animal, bacterial or yeast cells, Oxford Genetics approach uses new technology that allows the discovery of antibodies against human proteins in their naturally occurring state.
Furthermore, the use of mammalian systems for discovery and development stages reduces the historically high attrition rate of new drugs when switching from conventional discovery methods to final evaluation in human cells.
The grant will support the development of Oxford Genetics proprietary technology and will use machine learning and complex statistical approaches to develop improved libraries for antibody discovery.
The project will also make use of Oxford Genetics custom-built robotics platform, developed as part of a previous Innovate UK grant. With MarketsandMarkets forecasting the immunotherapy drugs market to be worth $201.52 Billion by 2021, the advancement of technology to underpin its development is crucial.
Ryan Cawood, Chief Executive Officer at Oxford Genetics commented, “We are incredibly pleased to announce this new Innovate UK funded R&D program, following on from our previously announced joint project with Oxford University to develop improved bioproduction systems. | 2019-04-20T16:49:49 | https://www.oxfordgenetics.com/Articles/News/Oxford-Genetics-receives-Innovate-UK-grant |
If you’ve read the last two installments of this column about arranging approaches you might have a few questions about how to actually execute these ideas in practice. Fear not – the next two columns are for you! This time around we’re going to discuss syllables: one of the major tools you have at your disposal to use within the larger conceptual frameworks we’ve discussed, in order to come up with what exactly in the heck you’re going to put down on paper (or record).
If you’re a beginning or intermediate arranger (or really even if you consider yourself advanced) the best way to keep ideas for syllables percolating is to listen to a ton of a cappella. If you’re just starting out, this is going to give you an idea of what’s possible. If you’re more experienced, this is going to help you find out what has been overdone versus what still sounds fresh. If you’re advanced, you get to evaluate the work of others against what you have done or would have done – which keeps your ears on their toes!
Listening to your peers gives you the foundation, so where do you go from there? Consider the function of syllables (for ease of discussion, I refer to anything that’s a sung background as a “syllable”). Background syllables give shape to your vocals, which themselves are standing in for whatever instruments filled the same function in the song you’re covering (unless the song is being written originally a cappella, in which case, good for you!). Your challenge as an arranger is how to use these shapes to represent your impression of the music – not necessarily to best emulate the exact sound of the original instrument.
The vowels formed further back on the tongue have a naturally darker, richer quality to them, while the vowels formed at the front have a brighter, more piercing quality (just think of “ee” versus “ah”). When you think about representing your impression of tone in an arrangement, this palette of vowel shapes is one of your major tools. If a sound strikes you as warm, think of the darker vowel colors. If it seems more piercing to you, move forward on the chart.
What of consonants? I think this is the area in which most arrangers feel the most apprehensive. Consonants, which again shape the vowels, are the things that make a background syllable sound “dorky,” “cliché,” or (hopefully) “awesome.” Coming up with good, original background syllables is all about consonant choice.
So how do you choose? A good place to start is what feels natural to you. A good rule of thumb in all arranging is that if you can’t sing it, how will your group be able to? When you’re interpreting a line, after you’ve picked the vocal color (or perhaps colors) you feel is appropriate, ask yourself what consonants will best frame the sound around the rhythm you’re trying to convey so that the syllables roll easily off the tongue. The goal first and foremost is to create a background line that can be sung with ease so that the performer can focus on an expressive delivery.
Using this as a jumping off point, there are lots of things you can do to come up with creative new syllables. If you speak a foreign language, mine it for sounds that are distinctively non-English (Middle Eastern and Asian languages have a host of sounds just waiting to be incorporated). If you have a particular regional accent (and you probably do whether you realize it or not) listen to others talking and experiment with their delivery as the basis for your syllable (Tom Anderson has spoken of the Mid-Western bright “oh” sound as a particularly powerful vowel choice). Of course, no matter how you choose to create your syllables, check in with other recordings to see how they compare to what’s been done, and check with your gut to make sure they’re effective!
Many arrangers have their own philosophies when it comes to what makes a background sound effective or not. I invite everyone to sound off in the comment section below. What makes a background effective to your ear? What strikes you as awkward or cliché? Everyone’s opinions are different, and everyone’s thoughts are valid!
Next time we’ll talk a bit about harmony. What are your options when it comes to expanding the harmonic body of the song you’re arranging? When you’re re-interpreting a song, which parts will a listener most readily gravitate to in order to make sense of your arrangement? How many notes is too many? All this and more coming your way.
In my experience, I've found that finding a nice mix between vocables (nonsense syllables) and actual words is most effective. I've learned that in general, staying away from the two extremes (Rockapella singing words as background all the time/attempting to imitate instrumentals to the T) is your best bet. Because I'm from a psychological background, I constantly think about a) sound preparation, and b) whether my vocables are evoking a linguistic or musical response in my brain. Every person listening to a cappella has a constant subliminal juxtaposition happening in their sub-conscience while listening to an a cappella piece: Music or Language.
In the great arrangements (i.e. not mine) there is an amazingly effective balance of vocables and words. This may also have to do with sound preparation and expectation (i.e. why we hear "do" as either a vocable or the actual word). Either way, I've found that words in the ensemble pull listeners from passive to active listening. This is especially useful to highlight a key section, measure, or even a single note in the arrangement.
Oh PS, thanks for answering my question about original interpretation in arranging on Mouth Off.. that was sweeeeet!
Hey man, thanks for sounding off on this!
First of all, don't sell yourself short! Though you may feel yourself a "n00b," I think you have a really unique and valuable background in psych that you bring to the table. There's a lot of interesting information to be mined there that I haven't a clue about. Experience is one thing, but I'm a big believer that no one should ever shut themselves off to learning, and make no mistake - you've got something to teach!
1) I think the texture of the arrangement, and the precise use of the language in question make a world of difference when it comes to its effect on the listener. In my experience, it's a bit more complicated than "words make people pay attention" (though that's often true). You also have to consider the amount of attention those words are being afforded (which has to do with the overall texture of the arrangement - thicker textures blunt the power of words to cut through and make themselves fully known), and the character of their delivery in the backs (the vocal register, timbre, rhythm, and many other factors combine to influence whether a word is perceived as heartfelt, comical, angry, etc...). In short, you're definitely on to something, and I think it goes quite a bit deeper than what you've examined above and in your article.
2)I would challenge your assertion in this specific King's Singers article that language recognition is what makes those phrases pop. Listening to the piece with an awareness of the concept as you presented it, I find myself not so much drawn to the new phrases because I recognize them as words, but because the entrances are arranged in a way that pulls focus with pitch (noticeably higher or lower), and/or rhythm ("doodley" is a triple rhythm that breaks out of the monotony of the duple "doot" pattern). I think in fact it *would* be equally effective for a non-English speaker because these arranging techniques (which transcend language) are at the forefront of the action, not so much any sense of a recognized word being sung.
Of course, said sense of word recognition could be so ingrained in me that even I'm not aware of it! Regardless, I absolutely think this idea has lots of merit, I'm just not convinced it's in play the way you've presented it here.
To other readers, definitely check out this article and see what you think! Would love to hear even more thoughts and reactions (both to the article, and to this concept of vocables v. words).
The same investigation can of course be made into Death/Thrash /Speed metal...!
I've always found it interesting when a cappella philosophy echoes the philosophy of such different types of music.
Just something I thought you might find interesting, should you continue with this in more depth, anyway!
This is quite interesting. I've been recently wondering about - sort of - the same thing. In Franz Joseph Hayden's "Missa brevis Sancti Joannis de Deo" or what has become to be known as "the little organ mass", the credo's text is stacked as a polyphonic texture upon the already polyphonic melodies of the strings + organ. Of course, this is religious text, so all the melodies line up on important phrases such as "et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria Virgine. Et homo factus est." However it is quite apparent that the credo was not composed using telescopic text for the mere convenience of a shorter mass. The telescopic text reflects the polyphony and visa-versa. Very interesting.
In short.. yes, you make an excellent point! Our a cappella philosophy of text and syllables is nothing new and should not be approached and mused with the narrow mindset of mere contemporary a cappella, but of music (and the history of music) as a whole!
Since writing that article I've learned so much more about arranging and have found that it seems to be in the eye of the beholder. Personally, I wouldn't side with either argument anymore. There are so many intrinsic musical nuances in a great arrangement that it's hard to make an argument in favor of language recognition. In other great arrangements it may seem as though language recognition reigns supreme.
Here's the kicker: It could very well be that we've all been exposed to soooooooo much a cappella that vocables have become part of our language recognition. (o0o0o0o... pausing to ponder).
In short, I'm glad that there are discussions like this out there. Each great composer has his/her own beliefs in what makes an arrangement work (in context). This allows us to hear an arrangement and know it's a Tom Anderson or Rob Dietz or Charlie Forkish arrangement.
Rob, thank you for taking the time to respond to my comments. I'm looking forward to learning much more from you in the future!
>It could very well be that we've all been exposed to soooooooo much a cappella >that vocables have become part of our language recognition.
Interesting, can you expand on that? How long might that take to happen? In my (extremely limited) understanding of the psychology of language, these recognitions tend to develop very young and get harder to solidify with age. What does it take for someone to begin to process sound as language?
Would love to know a bit more about this topic in general - I think it's really interesting and potentially very helpful!
I think it may be time for me to write my round 2 article :-) I'll let you know when I post.... It'll be really soon!

The distribution needs to be uniform only for table sizes that occur in the application. In particular, if one uses dynamic resizing with exact doubling and halving of the table size s, then the hash function needs to be uniform only when s is a power of two. Here the index can be computed as some range of bits of the hash function. On the other hand, some hashing algorithms prefer to have s be a prime number. The modulus operation may provide some additional mixing; this is especially useful with a poor hash function.
Cryptographic hash functions are believed to provide good hash functions for any table size s, either by modulo reduction or by bit masking. They may also be appropriate if there is a risk of malicious users trying to sabotage a network service by submitting requests designed to generate a large number of collisions in the server's hash tables. However, the risk of sabotage can also be avoided by cheaper methods (such as applying a secret salt to the data, or using a universal hash function). A drawback of cryptographic hashing functions is that they are often slower to compute, which means that in cases where the uniformity for any s is not necessary, a non-cryptographic hashing function might be preferable.
Perfect hashing allows for constant time lookups in all cases. This is in contrast to most chaining and open addressing methods, where the time for lookup is low on average, but may be very large, O(n), for some sets of keys.
As the load factor grows larger, the hash table becomes slower, and it may even fail to work (depending on the method used). The expected constant time property of a hash table assumes that the load factor is kept below some bound. For a fixed number of buckets, the time for a lookup grows with the number of entries and therefore the desired constant time is not achieved.
Ultimately, used sensibly, any kind of hash table algorithm is usually fast enough; and the percentage of a calculation spent in hash table code is low. Memory usage is rarely considered excessive. Therefore, in most cases the differences between these algorithms are marginal, and other considerations typically come into play.
2-choice hashing employs two different hash functions, h1(x) and h2(x), for the hash table. Both hash functions are used to compute two table locations. When an object is inserted in the table, then it is placed in the table location that contains fewer objects (with the default being the h1(x) table location if there is equality in bucket size). 2-choice hashing employs the principle of the power of two choices.
The good functioning of a hash table depends on the fact that the table size is proportional to the number of entries. With a fixed size, and the common structures, it is similar to linear search, except with a better constant factor. In some cases, the number of entries may be definitely known in advance, for example keywords in a language. More commonly, this is not known for sure, if only due to later changes in code and data. It is one serious, although common, mistake to not provide any way for the table to resize. A general-purpose hash table "class" will almost always have some way to resize, and it is good practice even for simple "custom" tables. An implementation should check the load factor, and do something if it becomes too large (this needs to be done only on inserts, since that is the only thing that would increase it).
To keep the load factor under a certain limit, e.g., under 3/4, many table implementations expand the table when items are inserted. For example, in Java's HashMap class the default load factor threshold for table expansion is 3/4 and in Python's dict, table size is resized when load factor is greater than 2/3.
Since buckets are usually implemented on top of a dynamic array and any constant proportion for resizing greater than 1 will keep the load factor under the desired limit, the exact choice of the constant is determined by the same space-time tradeoff as for dynamic arrays.
Resizing is accompanied by a full or incremental table rehash whereby existing items are mapped to new bucket locations.
To limit the proportion of memory wasted due to empty buckets, some implementations also shrink the size of the table—followed by a rehash—when items are deleted. From the point of space-time tradeoffs, this operation is similar to the deallocation in dynamic arrays.
Disk-based hash tables almost always use some scheme of incremental resizing, since the cost of rebuilding the entire table on disk would be too high.
In the simplest model, the hash function is completely unspecified and the table does not resize. For the best possible choice of hash function, a table of size k with open addressing has no collisions and holds up to k elements, with a single comparison for successful lookup, and a table of size k with chaining and n keys has the minimum max(0, n − k) collisions and O(1 + n/k) comparisons for lookup. For the worst choice of hash function, every insertion causes a collision, and hash tables degenerate to linear search, with Ω(n) amortized comparisons per insertion and up to n comparisons for a successful lookup.
Adding rehashing to this model is straightforward. As in a dynamic array, geometric resizing by a factor of b implies that only n/bi keys are inserted i or more times, so that the total number of insertions is bounded above by bn/(b − 1), which is O(n). By using rehashing to maintain n < k, tables using both chaining and open addressing can have unlimited elements and perform successful lookup in a single comparison for the best choice of hash function.
In more realistic models, the hash function is a random variable over a probability distribution of hash functions, and performance is computed on average over the choice of hash function. When this distribution is uniform, the assumption is called "simple uniform hashing" and it can be shown that hashing with chaining requires Θ(1 + n/k) comparisons on average for an unsuccessful lookup, and hashing with open addressing requires Θ(1/(1 − n/k)). Both these bounds are constant, if we maintain n/k < c using table resizing, where c is a fixed constant less than 1.
If the set of key-value pairs is fixed and known ahead of time (so insertions and deletions are not allowed), one may reduce the average lookup cost by a careful choice of the hash function, bucket table size, and internal data structures. In particular, one may be able to devise a hash function that is collision-free, or even perfect (see below). In this case the keys need not be stored in the table.
For certain string processing applications, such as spell-checking, hash tables may be less efficient than tries, finite automata, or Judy arrays. Also, if there are not too many possible keys to store -- that is, if each key can be represented by a small enough number of bits -- then, instead of a hash table, one may use the key directly as the index into an array of values. Note that there are no collisions in this case.
In PHP 5, the Zend 2 engine uses one of the hash functions from Daniel J. Bernstein to generate the hash values used in managing the mappings of data pointers stored in a hash table. In the PHP source code, it is labelled as DJBX33A (Daniel J. Bernstein, Times 33 with Addition).
SparseHash (formerly Google SparseHash) An extremely memory-efficient hash_map implementation, with only 2 bits/entry of overhead. The SparseHash library has several C++ hash map implementations with different performance characteristics, including one that optimizes for memory use and another that optimizes for speed.
SunriseDD An open source C library for hash table storage of arbitrary data objects with lock-free lookups, built-in reference counting and guaranteed order iteration. The library can participate in external reference counting systems or use its own built-in reference counting. It comes with a variety of hash functions and allows the use of runtime supplied hash functions via callback mechanism. Source code is well documented.
uthash This is an easy-to-use hash table for C structures.
The idea of hashing arose independently in different places. In January 1953, H. P. Luhn wrote an internal IBM memorandum that used hashing with chaining. Gene Amdahl, Elaine M. McGraw, Nathaniel Rochester, and Arthur Samuel implemented a program using hashing at about the same time. Open addressing with linear probing (relatively prime stepping) is credited to Amdahl, but Ershov (in Russia) had the same idea.

Photoshop is a great tool but only till it is in the right hands. Once it falls in the wrong hands, it can create disasters. But in the age of filters and effects, people are so much obsessed with tweaking and beautifying their pictures that they are ready to go to any extent.
And by any extent we mean some impossible standards. Well, we think Indians and their love for Photoshop can beat any other love in this world. While browsing the internet, we stumbled upon these Photoshop Gurus who are so bad at Photoshop that they are making us laugh like crazy.

These large Atlantic Series chessmen present a highly attractive interpretation of the classic Staunton design that we all know and love. These chessmen have been expertly carved and polished by some of the world's most experienced and talented chess carvers. The white pieces are fashioned in boxwood, the mainstay of all fine chess pieces. In opposition are sixteen chessmen carved in fine rosewood. These have a deep red/brown colour and can be expected to darken naturally in future years and decades. These chessmen are double weighted and felted on their bases.
The knights have small, neat ears and a toothy smile; their character is abundant while retaining a solid carving that can endure many games of chess. While these pieces do represent a highly sophisticated addition to your dresser or display cabinet they are also a pleasure to play chess with and will endure plenty of lengthy games. These superb chess pieces have been finished with a fine hand polish, a time consuming process that results in a lacquer free natural shine to the beautiful wood.
"This is a top quality chess set and perfect in every detail. Inside the cardboard box, which was lined with bubble-wrap, every piece and every pawn were individually wrapped." | 2019-04-26T13:57:13 | https://www.regencychess.co.uk/atlantic-series-rosewood-staunton-chess-pieces-425-inches-p-87.html |

You have probably heard about Invisalign – the virtually invisible alternative to brackets and wires for straightening teeth. Maybe, though, you would like to know more about what treatment is really like. The best way to get the straight scoop on Invisalign is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Stanley Levenson in Worcester, MA. He will explain the treatment process and answer your questions. Meanwhile, here is some helpful information to consider before your visit the dentist.
Invisalign straightens with an incremental series of transparent plastic trays that fit snugly over teeth. They nudge teeth into proper alignment with low force. The treatment plan is computer generated from digital impressions of your current oral condition, and precise input on what you want to change. Together, you and the dentist review a virtual simulation of your transformation, before treatment begins.
When Invisalign initially became available in this country in 2000, it was viewed primarily as a cosmetic solution for mild to moderate misalignment. The technology behind Invisalign has continued to advance. Today, with version G3, G4, and G5, even complex cases of misalignment, malocclusion, and deep bites can be corrected with this method.
Compliance – Although aligners are removable, you must wear them faithfully – 20 to 22 hours each day. That gives you two to four hours a day to eat the foods you enjoy without the restrictions that come with conventional orthodontics. Timely tip – Set timers on your phone for 30 minutes (breakfast), 35 minutes (lunch and dinner), and 10 minutes (two snacks), totaling 120 minutes. Start the appropriate timer as soon as you begin eating, and when the alarm sounds, brush and floss and pop your aligners back into place.
No cheat eating – You may drink plain water with aligners inserted, but please do not “cheat” and nibble on treats or chew gum. It can damage aligners or stain them. Some patients report a happy side effect of this responsibility – they lose weight from reduced consumption of between-meal snacks and sweet beverages.
Conscientious oral hygiene – Brushing and flossing after meals is important for everyone’s oral health, and it is imperative during Invisalign treatment. If you place aligners in a dirty mouth, you trap acids and food particles next to teeth, increasing risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
Keep aligners clean – The technique is straight forward, and our hygiene team provides instructions. Aligners should be cleaned twice a day. Most patients soak them in a solution made with Invisalign sanitizing crystals, while brushing and flossing teeth in the morning and before bedtime. It keeps aligners clear and odor-free.
Carry a hygiene kit – We end up eating in many places through a busy day. Be prepared with a small bag containing toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and your Invisalign carrying case. It eliminates excuses.
Maintain wearing schedule – You are responsible for advancing to the next set of aligners in your series as the dentist directs. Some patients feel a little discomfort or lisp a bit, for the first few hours. Helpful hint – switch out aligners at night. You will sleep through this brief adjustment period.
Keep appointments – You will visit Dr. Levenson at about six-week intervals, so he can monitor your progress and adjust treatment if needed. Please do not skip these visits. They are brief and painless.
Maintain results – At the conclusion of treatment, you must wear a retainer to keep your smile looking terrific for years to come. The doctor will talk with you about whether a removable or bonded retainer makes sense for your situation.
Clear aligners can be a great option for teen and adult patients who want to straighten discreetly. Unless other people look very closely, they won’t even realize you are wearing orthodontic appliances. With the steps outlined above, an average treatment plan is completed in about a year. Call the Invisalign dentist in Worcester, MA trusted for beautiful results – Dr. Stanley Levenson at Levenson Smile, (855) 849-8255. | 2019-04-20T12:11:21 | https://www.levensonsmile.com/invisalign/invisalign-dentist-worcester-ma.html |

Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Prednisone is a corticosteroid, which like other steroids, acts by controlling the rate of synthesis of proteins. The corticosteroids react with receptor proteins in the cytoplasm of sensitive cells to form a steroid-receptor complex. The steroid receptor complex moves into the nucleus where it binds to chromatin. Information carried by the steroid or more likely by the receptor protein directs the genetic apparatus to transcribe RNA. Steroid hormones thus stimulate transcription and ultimately the synthesis of specific proteins.
The major physiologic actions of prednisone are: to increase liver glycogen deposition and to decrease the inflammatory response. Prednisone has some effects on sodium and fluid retention.
The mechanism of action is not fully established. It is theorized that the drug’s anti-inflammatory effect is due to multiple mechanisms, including the inhibition of leukocyte migration to sites of tissue injury, the impairment of phagocytosis plus reduced capillary permeability. The drug’s immunosuppressant effect is attributed to several factors, among them a transient lymphopenia especially of T-lymphocytes, and inhibition of immunoglobulin production of monocytes.
Prednisone is rapidly and completely absorbed from the intestinal tract. After oral administration, maximum plasma concentrations are reached in 1 to 2 hours. Once absorbed, the drug is approximately 75% bound to plasma proteins. The major route of elimination is via the liver (t 1/2=4 hr.); and the active drug disappears completely in about 12 hours.
Nonendocrine Disorders: Rheumatic disorders: As adjunctive therapy for short-term administration (to tide the patient over an acute episode or exacerbation) in: psoriatic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, including juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (selected cases may require low dose maintenance therapy), ankylosing spondylitis, acute and subacute bursitis, acute nonspecific tenosynovitis, acute gouty arthritis, post-traumatic osteoarthritis, synovitis of osteoarthritis, epicondylitis.
Collagen Diseases: During an exacerbation or as maintenance therapy in selected cases of systemic lupus erythematosus, acute rheumatic carditis, systemic dermatomyositis (polymyositis), polymyalgia rheumatica, giant cell arteritis.
Dermatologic Diseases: pemphigus, bullous dermatitis herpetiformis, severe erythema multiforme (Stevens-Johnson syndrome), exfoliative dermatitis, mycosis fungoides, severe psoriasis, severe seborrheic dermatitis.
Allergic States: Control of severe or incapacitating allergic conditions intractable to adequate trials of conventional treatment: seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma, contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, serum sickness, drug hypersensitivity reactions.
Respiratory Diseases: Symptomatic sarcoidosis, berylliosis, fulminating or disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis when used concurrently with appropriate antituberculous chemotherapy, aspiration pneumonitis.
Contra-Indications: Systemic fungal infections and known hypersensitivity to prednisone or to its excipients.
Manufacturers’ Warnings In Clinical States: In patients on corticosteroid therapy subjected to unusual stress, increased dosage of rapidly acting corticosteroids before, during, and after the stressful situation is indicated.
Corticosteroids may mask some signs of infection, and new infections may appear during their use. There may be decreased resistance and inability to localize infection when corticosteroids are used. Infections with any pathogen including viral, bacterial, fungal, protozoan or helminthic infections, in any location in the body, may be associated with the use of corticosteroids alone or in combination with other immunosuppressive agents that affect cellular immunity, humoral immunity or neutrophil function. These infections may be mild, but can be severe and at times fatal. With increasing doses of corticosteroids, the rate of occurrence of infectious complication increases. Do not use intra-articularly, intrabursally, or for intratendinous administration for local effect in the presence of acute infection.
Prolonged use of corticosteroids may produce posterior subcapsular cataracts, glaucoma with possible damage to the optic nerves, and may enhance the establishment of secondary ocular infections due to fungi or viruses. Allergic reactions (e.g. angioedema) may occur.
Administration of live or live, attenuated vaccines is contra-indicated in patients receiving immunosuppressive doses of corticosteroids. Killed or inactivated vaccines may be administered to patients receiving immunosuppressive doses of corticosteroids. However the response to such vaccines may be diminished. Indicated immunization procedures may be undertaken in patients receiving nonimmunosuppressive doses of corticosteroids.
The use of prednisone in active tuberculosis should be restricted to those cases of fulminating or disseminated tuberculosis in which the corticosteroid is used for the management of the disease in conjunction with an appropriate antituberculous regimen.
Pregnancy and Lactation: Some animal studies have shown that corticosteroids, when administered to the mother at high doses, may cause fetal malformations. Adequate human reproductive studies have not been done with corticosteroids. Therefore, the use of this drug in pregnancy, nursing mothers or women of childbearing potential requires that the benefits of the drug be carefully weighed against the potential risk to the mother and embryo or fetus. Since there is inadequate evidence of safety in human pregnancy, this drug should be used in pregnancy only if clearly needed.
Corticosteroids readily cross the placenta. Infants born of mothers who have received substantial doses of corticosteroids during pregnancy must be carefully observed and evaluated for signs of adrenal insufficiency. There are no known effects of corticosteroids on labor and delivery. Corticosteroids are excreted in breast milk.
The lowest possible dose of corticosteroid should be used to control the condition under treatment and when reduction in dosage, the reduction should be gradual.
The possibility of this interaction occurring with prednisone should be considered.
Kaposi’s sarcoma has been reported to occur in patients receiving corticosteroid therapy. Discontinuation of corticosteroids may result in clinical remission.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility: There is no evidence that corticosteroids are carcinogenic, mutagenic, or impair fertility.
Lactation: Some prednisone is excreted in breast milk.
Drug Interactions: The pharmacokinetic interactions listed below are potentially clinically important.
Drugs that induce hepatic enzymes such as phenobarbital, phenytoin and rifampin may increase the clearance of corticosteroids and may require increases in corticosteroid dose to achieve the desired response.
Drugs such as troleandomycin and ketoconazole may inhibit the metabolism of corticosteroids and thus decrease their clearance. Therefore, the dose of corticosteroid should be titrated to avoid steroid toxicity.
Corticosteroids may increase the clearance of chronic high dose ASA. This could lead to decreased salicylate serum levels or increase the risk of salicylate toxicity when the corticosteroid is withdrawn. ASA should be used cautiously in conjunction with corticosteroids in patients suffering from hypothrombinemia.
The effect of corticosteroids on oral anticoagulants is variable. There are reports of enhanced, as well as, diminished effects of anticoagulant when given concurrently with corticosteroids. Therefore, coagulation indices should be monitored to maintain the desired anticoagulant effect.
Musculoskeletal: steroid myopathy; muscle weakness; osteoporosis; pathologic fractures; vertebral compression fractures; aseptic necrosis; loss of muscle mass; tendon rupture – particularly of the Achilles tendon.
Gastrointestinal: peptic ulceration with possible perforation and hemorrhage; gastric hemorrhage; pancreatitis; perforation of the bowel; abdominal distention; ulcerative esophagitis.
Increases in ALT, AST and alkaline phosphatase have been observed following corticosteroid treatment. These changes are usually small, not associated with any clinical syndrome and are reversible upon discontinuation.
Dermatologic: impaired wound healing; petechiae and ecchymoses; thin fragile skin; facial erythema; increased sweating; may suppress reactions to skin tests.
Neurological: increased intracranial pressure with papilledema (pseudotumor cerebri); vertigo; headache; psychic derangements; seizures.
Endocrine: menstrual irregularities; development of cushingoid state; suppression of pituitary-adrenal axis; decreased carbohydrate tolerance; manifestations of latent diabetes mellitus; increased requirements for insulin or oral hypoglycemic agents in diabetes; suppression of growth in children.
Ophthalmic: posterior subcapsular cataracts; increased intraocular pressure; exophthalmos; glaucoma.
Dosage And Administration: The initial dosage may vary from 5 to 60 mg of prednisone per day depending on the specific disease entity being treated. In situations of less severity, lower doses will generally suffice while in selected patients higher initial doses may be required. The initial dosage should be maintained or adjusted until a satisfactory response is noted. If after a reasonable period of time there is a lack of satisfactory clinical response, prednisone should be discontinued and the patient transferred to other appropriate therapy.
After a favorable response is noted, the proper maintenance dosage should be determined by decreasing the initial drug dosage in small decrements at appropriate time intervals until the lowest dosage which will maintain an adequate clinical response is reached. It should be kept in mind that constant monitoring is needed in regard to drug dosage. Included in the situations which may make dosage adjustments necessary are changes in clinical status secondary to remissions or exacerbations in the disease process, the patient’s individual drug responsiveness, and the effect of patient exposure to stressful situations not directly related to the disease entity under treatment; in this latter situation it may be necessary to increase the dosage of prednisone for a period of time consistent with the patient’s condition.
ADT Alternate Day Therapy: Alternate day therapy is a corticosteroid dosing regimen in which twice the usual daily dose of corticosteroid is administered every other morning. The purpose of this mode of therapy is to provide a patient requiring long-term, pharmacologic dose treatment with the beneficial effects of corticoids while minimizing certain undesirable effects, including pituitary-adrenal suppression, the Cushingoid state, corticoid withdrawal symptoms, and growth suppression in children.
Availability And Storage: 5 mg: Each white tablet, scored on one side and marked with “Upjohn 45” on the other, contains: prednisone 5 mg. Nonmedicinal ingredients: calcium stearate, cornstarch, lactose, mineral oil and sucrose. | 2019-04-26T14:38:38 | https://www.rxmed.com/b.main/b2.pharmaceutical/b2.1.monographs/cps-_monographs/CPS-_(General_Monographs-_D)/DELTASONE.html |
“My name is Nicholas and I’m 29 years old. My lovely seven-year-old daughter Colette and I sponsor Diala, a little girl from Indonesia.
Last fall I ran into somebody with a Save the Children shirt on in a mall in California and I remember thinking, I should stop and see what this is all about. I had thought about sponsoring before but never took the plunge. After talking to the Save the Children employee, I decided to use the opportunity to teach my daughter about the world.
When I found out that we were sponsoring Diala, I was excited because she was from a whole new place. I didn’t know much about Indonesia myself, so Colette and I spent time learning about Diala’s country together. I really wanted her to understand that on the complete opposite side of the earth, there's a little girl who is just about the same age as her, who is doing the same things as her, like going to school and learning in her classroom.
I sponsor because I want to show the world that anybody can help, even if it’s just helping somebody across the street. It doesn’t take that much to help, and if I start now and I teach my daughter while she’s young, she's going to understand that it’s really easy to help make the world better. | 2019-04-18T15:19:04 | https://www.savethechildren.org/us/sponsor-a-child/how-sponsorship-works/making-a-difference/meet-nick-and-colette |

Founded in 1982 and headquartered at San Rafael, CA, Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) is an American multinational software corporation that makes software for the architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, media and entertainment industries. The company has a market capital of $10.73 billion.
Today, technology is moving with an unprecedented speed creating disruptions in every industry. Everything is becoming digital with the advent of Internet of Things, Reality computing, and 3-D printing or Additive manufacturing, to name a few. Additive manufacturing is revolutionizing the manufacturing industry by empowering it to develop even the most complex designs with ease, in lesser time and money.
Albeit technology is streamlining many of the industrial acumens and has not provided any satisfied solutions for enterprise collaboration. This lack of collaboration infrastructure results prevents access of right information at right time and facilitates inefficiency. Executives have to urge service providers to provide a robust tool to carry out adequate collaboration.
Setting up right priorities should be the first thing for every business leader at the start of their day. We have millions of customers to attend and thousands of employees to lead and with limited time it is our job to fathom which area needs more supervision. Whether it is customers to address, new technologies to look after, or eminent employees to realize, it all comes down to a calculative approach to address them according to their gravity. Set your daily, monthly and annual goals and avoid daily distractions to become a proficient leader.
In addition, Speed, competition and war for talent are three challenges that are a main concern of today's leaders in our new technology paradigm.
a) Pace of doing business and origination of technologies has increased dramatically over the years. Twenty years ago, business leaders were having liberty to plan their targets for imminent years but now every month or everyday can be different.
b) Nature of competition has changed immensely as every company around the globe is on share technology platform.
c) Gradually and steadily hunt for talent is growing as we are becoming a knowledge driven economy who are constantly fighting for finding smart people, and to keep smart people. | 2019-04-20T13:16:26 | http://www.theerpinsights.com/viewpoint/it-is-not-about-tolerating-failure-but-accepting-failure-in-a-smart-way-nid-24.html |
So, how much do you know about the mandolin? If you are anything like me, not much. But a day with the Israeli mandolin soloist, Avi Avital, changed all that for me!
I wanted to make it a real Berlin-Day, so we started at the Brandenburg Gate. Avi was a dream to film with, he got his mandolin out wherever I asked him to and would strum away and charm the tourists and the Berliners while I talked into the camera. He made everyone smile around him – with the exception of one grumpy policeman who wanted to have us all arrested…we weren’t exactly sure why.
Being Sarah-naded by Avi with ‘Life is Beautiful’ in the rickshaw was one of my highlights of Sarah’s Music so far and our Plucked Instruments Picnic was so much fun. The Berliners in Monbijou Park didn’t pay much attention to Vivaldi but all heads turned and phones came out when Avi started playing the famous mandolin solo from REM’s ‘Losing my Religion’. Check out the outtakes for more REM and Sarah-nading!
We spent the evening at the Berlin Festival – a big techno music event at the Treptow Arena. Definitely not your usual classical music event but Avi was performing for the Yellow Lounge, a series of concerts which promote classical music in unusual venues.
This venue was definitely not your usual classical music venue what with the throbbing of the techo beats and the enthusiasm of the party-goers. People were intrigued when they saw us outside with the mandolin and the cameras and said they would come to come to Avi’s concert later on that night, even though noone we talked to said they listened to classical music normally. But that’s the whole point of the Yellow Lounge.
Avi’s two concert sets were great. I didn’t envy him up there – the first one started after 11pm, the place was smoky and dark and by then the techno-fans were pretty ‘happy’. We had ravers dancing to Vivaldi and saying how cool it all was. Basically you could behave how you liked during the concert but I had the feeling people were really listening and enjoying the music. It helped of course that Avi is gorgeous and has such a good stage presence!
I can’t imagine a better ambassador for the mandolin than Avi. I love what he is doing in bringing the mandolin into the concert halls as a solo instrument and performing with such a passion – he now has fans all over the world. If you can get to see him live, do go to a concert and make sure you smile for one of his now famous ‘View From the Stage’ photos afterwards.
Thanks, Avi, for a great day in Berlin with you and your mandolin. I am now officially a mandolin – and Avi – fan! | 2019-04-19T02:58:46 | https://sarah-willis.com/episodes/22-a-day-with-avi-avital/ |

This year the League will not be approving bats. It is not a National requirement and becomes to time consuming. Thus, stickers will no longer be required on bats. The onus of ensuring that Players have the correct bat will fall upon the Managers and Coaches. With that being said, violations of illegal bats can be found in section 6.6(d) which states that the first offense will cause the batter to be out (for that batting turn) and the lose of a base Coach (for the whole game). The second offense will cause the Manager to be ejected from the game.
Little League National has done a pretty good job with providing information on illegal and approved bats. They have a mobile download app where you select the manufacturer and they will tell you if you can use the bat or not.
The Orange Little League board will ispect the fields before games to determine if the fields are open or closed due to rain. We will inform teams, managers, coaches, and families if games are canceled due to rain. If you are not sure if a game is canceled due to rain it is most likely not canceled. We will blast out emails if games are canceled. If we do not blast out an email, games are not canceled. | 2019-04-23T12:10:50 | http://orangelittleleague.org/Page.asp?n=75784&org=RMKCFCOQCAMCNYT.ORANGELITTLELEAGUE.COM |

Will The Walking Dead's Anne Be In Rick Grimes' Movies?
Rick Grimes' recent exit from The Walking Dead was only partly sad, as it was quickly followed by the announcement that Andrew Lincoln's character would return in TV films based within the show's universe. While Lincoln is going to be a part of that ride, other actors and actresses like Pollyanna McIntosh (Anne/Jadis) are still in the dark as to whether they'll be involved. McIntosh shared what she knows about the films, and gave a timeline regarding when she'll know if she'll appear.
They want to shoot next year, so if I don't hear by Christmas I'll know that I'm not doing it, won't I?
Pollyanna McIntosh doesn't know whether or not she'll be in The Walking Dead films, but told TV Guide she probably isn't if she doesn't hear something by the year's end. The actress confirmed she hasn't been contacted by anyone just yet, despite the possibility that her character Anne could be around in the next chapter of Rick's adventure. Anne was responsible for Rick's helicopter rescue in his Season 9 exit and went with him into the unknown.
Pollyanna McIntosh also revealed she didn't believe the scripts for The Walking Dead movies were complete. The actress revealed she's not the only one in The Walking Dead family curious as to what's going on, which may mean no one has been locked down beyond Andrew Lincoln. With that said, it would make sense that those most-connected to Rick Grimes at the time of his exit stand the greatest chance of appearing.
Anne's role in the escape would seemingly be evidence enough that she will appear in a future Rick adventure in The Walking Dead film universe, but it's more complicated than that. The folks that rescued the duo warned Anne there would "be consequences" for her actions, which could mean a punishment that keeps her out of the story. Depending on how extreme this group is, we might have a brutal character exit in store for Pollyanna McIntosh's character.
Regardless of what's in store for her character in the franchise's future, Pollyanna McIntosh is grateful for the run she's had on The Walking Dead thus far. After all, only a select few characters on The Walking Dead have gotten to exit on the terms her character did.
I'm incredibly grateful that my character got to do something so important as she was leaving. And also that I didn't die.
The Walking Dead is gearing up for its Season 9 midseason finale, which airs on AMC Sunday, November 25 at 9 p.m. ET. Fans looking for something else to get into can see what is coming to television in our fall premiere guide, or get a jump on what's premiering in 2019 with our midseason premiere guide. | 2019-04-21T20:20:55 | https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2462073/will-the-walking-deads-anne-be-in-rick-grimes-movies |

01; This new construction house had over an acre of property that included many mature trees. It was our job to merge the old with the new. The homeowners also wanted to incorporate a flow of colors and textures that would keep visitors curious as it traveled along the planting beds in the back and side yards. The front uses a variety of shade tolerant shrubs and conifers to create welcoming entrance regardless of season.
02; This new construction house wanted both the front and back yard to become extensions of their living space. Natural flagstone steppers and a variety of trees, shrubs and flowers were used to soften the urban feel of the neighborhood. Whether on the front patio or back patio, the homeowners are surrounded by colors and fragrances that create and sense privacy and relaxation.
03; This country home was in need of major curb appeal. We began by installing native limestone retaining walls. Then we chose an earthy flagstone to create private sitting nook and curved front entrance.
07; After an addition and remodel of the front of their house, these residence wanted a new landscape that could include some of their existing trees. We used various various colors and textures to make this an outstanding landscape through all seasons.
07; The new homeowners wanted to create a tranquil, relaxing retreat within their bustling, urban neighborhood. Existing large shrubs already provided privacy, so we infused the property with colors, textures and seasonal interest. By using drywall stone and a rustic rain barrel, an edible garden was perfectly blended into the landscape oasis. This is now the perfect retreat to socialize, barbeque or just relax.
05; We installed a brick paver walkway, step and stoop. We also created a landscape design with curved, clean bed lines to give this house a distinctive appearance in the neighborhood. Brussel Block paver stones were used for the paver and stoop, along with a combination of Mugo Pines, River Birch and various grasses, perennials and shrubs in the front landscape.
09; Hollandstone brick pavers were used to create a large back patio for sitting, eating and entertaining. Brussel Dimensional stones were used to create a seat wall for entertaining guests.
08; Brussel Block pavers and Brussel Demensional stones were used to create a front brick paver patio and seat wall.
06; A barren landscape in the Wrigleyville, Chicago area had a landscape design update that included new sod, shrubs, perennials and a dog run.
10; This family needed a place in their yard to sit and entertain. We installed a 12' x 12' brick paver patio using Hollandstone pavers. It was the perfect size for the family's outdoor dining table. Now the family is able to enjoy the outdoors with company or just have a place to relax at the end of the day.
11; This historic home in Arlington Heights required an updated landscape that would be true to the houses time period. Being that it is located on a busy intersection, we had to account for pollution, salt and snow. The result was a beautiful new landscape that will compliment the house and give the residence some needed privacy in the backyard.
55; A Garden Guy Landscaping always looks to find ways to include edible gardens into the landscape design. These gardens serve to not only provide the rewarding benefits of harvesting your own food, but to also seamlessly blend into the overall concept of the landscape.
60; The house that was described as the "smallest and blandest house in Lincolnshire" was asked to be made beautiful. The planting beds were extended and curved to soften the square appearance of the house. The variety of colors really pop against the white house. The backyard will mature to provide privacy and shade in their now beautiful and diverse landscape.

After much research and hunting, we have put together a complete day-time skincare routine for those looking to create their skincare routine using the best drugstore skincare for oily skin.
In the below list, you will find some of the best items on the market today for oily skin. This list is catered to those who are not in their adolescence. If you are under the age of 19, products numbers 1,2, and 5 will be all your skin needs.
Believe it or not, even with oily skin, adding a facial oil into your routine might be the secret solution you have been looking for. In some cases, our skin produces excessive oil in the attempt to compensate for a lack of oil in our skin. When this happens you end up with oily dehydrated skin. This skin type is characterised by a shiny skin appearance that feels oily to the touch, however, it still feels “tight” as if the skin is pulling. This usually happens to those in their 20’s+, while not being common in adolescence. If you think this might be your case, then try adding a pure facial oil into your routine! The best drugstore skincare for oily skin might be this facial oil from Physicians Formula. Made of only pure 100% argan oil, this facial oil is safe to use on any skin types, will not clog the pores or cause irritation!

If you’re like most people, chances are you haven’t begun to think about taxes yet. Employers aren’t even required to issue W-2 forms until January 31. However, now is the time to begin your preparations and protect yourself, your friends and family from tax identity theft.
January 29th through February 2, 2018, is Tax Identity Theft Awareness Week. Hosted annually by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), this week aims to raise awareness and reduce one of the most-prominent forms of identity theft. Call center data from the Identity Theft Resource Center reported that government and tax identity theft made up 34% of all reported cases in 2017. This is a staggering number that none of us can afford to ignore.
Throughout Tax Identity Theft Awareness Week the FTC will offer free resources to help educate consumers, including webinars, blog posts, a Twitter chat and more. In the meantime, our fraud protection experts at IdentityForce have compiled a simple list of 5 tips to protect yourself and those you care about this tax season.
Tax season is a race against the clock for identity thieves. By completing your tax return as soon as you have all your information in order, you stand a better chance of beating a fraudster to your return.
IRS scammers will often mask themselves with emails or caller ID that looks legitimate. They reach out to you and request personal information that will allow them to file a tax return on your behalf. Do not be fooled – the IRS never contacts taxpayers by these methods of communication.
If you decide to bring your taxes to a walk-in preparer, be sure to do your research and confirm they are qualified to handle your data. Illegal identity theft rings pop up in brick and mortar locations every year. Ask for a Preparer Tax Identification Number and don’t trust your information to anyone without verifying their CPA status.
Many taxpayers prefer to fill out their tax forms manually and file by mail. While this method is generally safe, it’s important to never mail the return from your home mailbox. It’s best to be 100% safe as mail tampering is still a major source of identity theft.
Although a notice in the mail may seem legitimate, it’s relatively easy for fraudsters to set up phony direct mail campaigns and victimize consumers. Always confirm any request by calling the IRS toll-free number: 800-829-1040.
By following these tips, you can help minimize your risk of becoming an identity theft victim. Be sure to share this article with your friends and loved ones in honor of Tax Identity Theft Awareness Week.
There’s no time like the present to get Best-In-Class Identity Theft Protection. No matter how many precautions you take, the risk of having your information compromised is ever-present.

Hello! Today (or late last night, actually) I unleashed the new design for Food and Whine. I’ve been busy working behind the scenes, moving my entire site from Movable Type to WordPress. While I was at it I decided to re-design it, re-format it and change the name!
Way back in 2000, this site began as a personal blog (back when they were all the rage). When I got tired of that, I decided to use the site as a place to keep my favourite recipes, so they would be handy. I named the pages “Food and Whine”. At the time, I thought it was cute and clever. As time went on, people started to visit my site (I honestly never envisioned that part) and I kept posting recipes. The love for the site name didn’t last long though. Truth be told, I’m not much of a whiner really and I didn’t think the name was nearly as cute and clever as it had first seemed (not to mention I half expected a nasty letter from the Food & Wine™ folks at any time!).
So, I decided to make a small change in the name to “Food and Family”, since that’s really what this site is – about cooking for my family and sharing my favourite recipes with you and your family.
Since I was changing my site behind the scenes, I decided I wanted a fresh look for the site, too – one that made it easy for people to find what they were looking for and discover new recipes. I hope I’ve done that. It’s nothing fancy, but I’ve had great fun doing it (I’m just geeky that way). There are bound to be a few glitches in the mix. Do let me know if something’s not right somewhere!
When I decided to make the move, I had no idea what I was in for. I had about 450 recipes to move and re-format. It turned out that each recipe took me about 15 minutes to re-format. You do the math! So needless to say, not all of them are done yet. I have all the recipes from the old site in draft format and I’m continuing to work away at them and will publish them one by one as they’re done. In the meantime, if there’s a recipe you really need, don’t hesitate to contact me. I’ll get it to you asap.
What is this social networking thing you speak of?
And while you’re at it, I have a brand new Twitter account as well. I actually use Twitter personally, so I understand how much fun it is. I could use a few followers (a little lonely there at the moment), so if you feel so inclined, please join me. I plan to tweet interested food and recipe items I find in my travels.
I just wanted to say “thanks” to all the fine folks who follow and visit my site. As I said earlier, I never really envisioned that part of it when I first started posting recipes here back in 2007. I hope you’ll stick around and say “hey” once in a while. I love to hear from you and hear what you’re cooking or how you made out with one of my recipes.
P.S. If you subscribe to the site by RSS or email subscription, you don’t have to do anything to continue receiving site updates. I’ve made the changes behind the scene so it will continue to work seamlessly.
All is well here. Cool and damp in Ontario after a warmer than usual Spring. Hope you are well and enjoying better weather on the left coast. | 2019-04-24T00:14:12 | http://www.fortysomething.ca/new-name-new-design |

Are YOU at Higher Risk of Shingles? Should YOU get a Shingle Vaccine?
We are surprised that so few of our patients realize that a safe and effective vaccination exists for preventing shingles. Despite this knowledge, we’ve not really thought in the past about who is at higher risk of shingles, so we liked this new study that got us to think more about this problem and in a new way.
A new study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal examined people who have emphysema or lung disease and whether they have a higher risk of getting shingles. Researchers looked at 8,500 patients with lung disease COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), ages 50 and up, and they studied them every year for a total of 10 years. What they found was that this group of people had almost a two times higher risk of developing shingles than people who did not have this lung disease. Sixteen of every 1,000 patients who had lung disease developed shingles, compared to only nine in 1,000 who didn’t have lung disease.
The take-home message of this research is pretty simple: if you have lung disease, like COPD, emphysema or chronic bronchitis, or if you’re over the age of 60, you should talk to your doctor and seriously consider getting a shingles vaccine. From what we know, the benefits of the vaccine clearly outweigh the risks, and it will also help to prevent you from getting postherpetic neuralgia, a tremendously painful complication of shingles that can affect your nerve fibers and skin.
We recently did a show on COPD and talked with Dr. Jim Donohue, the Division Chief of Pulmonary Diseases and Critical Care Medicine at UNC.

You sometimes have to navigate tricky landscapes when you manage rental properties. We’re not talking about pothole-filled parking lots, which can be paved; nor walkways impeded by bushes, which can be trimmed. It’s landlord-tenant relationships that often require a balancing act, and rarely is the communication as discomforting as when you are delivering news to tenants that you know they will not welcome.
Following are five things tenants or prospective tenants really don’t want to hear from a landlord or property manager. There are also a few tips for making these not-so-special deliveries in a manner that might help in terms of building a relationship with tenants despite the bad news.
Few things will raise a tenant’s ire as much as raising his or her rent. Be prepared to provide a reasonable reason for the increase. If you can demonstrate to the tenant that your costs are rising and you aren’t simply grabbing more money purely for profit, there’s a better chance the tenant will understand the increase. Passing along smaller annual increases also could diminish the impact compared with hitting tenants with a sharp, sudden jump.
Good tenants who have not damaged any property may assume they are getting their entire security deposit back when their lease expires. When a landlord has to deduct a portion from the total, a tenant understandably can be upset. It’s fair for tenants to question any charges — but even in instances where there’s no obvious damage, perhaps a tenant overlooked some required maintenance, such as having the carpets cleaned before moving out. When notifying a tenant that the entire security deposit won’t be returned, have a copy of the lease handy so you can cite specifics about the tenant’s responsibilities for the amounts you are deducting.
The amenities your property offers — perhaps a pool, a fitness center and/or a common socializing area — are undoubtedly a key part of the value tenants expect to enjoy in return for their monthly rent. These all require occasional maintenance, however. When you have to temporarily restrict availability, provide tenants with plenty of advance notice and an explanation about why the closure is necessary. You can further reduce any disappointment by making alternative arrangements, such as lining up short-term access to a local gym or pool if such options are available.
A tenant’s frustration can boil over when dealing with a nuisance neighbor. If the neighbor isn’t breaking the law or the lease, however, a landlord or property manager’s role should be minimal. Be as empathetic as possible, but encourage the frustrated tenant to manage the relationship on his or her own — or to call the police if the dispute rises to the level of being threatening.
It’s not easy telling someone you’re not going to rent a property to them, and it’s even more difficult for them to hear it. Whatever the reason for the rejection, show empathy and encourage the renter to re-apply in the future. Being considerate could earn you a referral to another qualified applicant. Of greater importance is to be aware of the legalities involved with rejecting a rental application. Know the laws, both federal and state, regarding discrimination and fairness pertaining to rental properties.
As a landlord or property manager, you know delivering news to tenants that isn’t pleasant goes with the territory. Going over the lease closely at the time of signing can prevent some issues from becoming contentious later, but it’s possible that at some point you’ll have to explain something a tenant doesn’t want to hear. Always be cordial, provide as much notice as possible, and provide notifications in writing as well. Simply being available to talk things over in a straightforward manner can also help you develop landlord-tenant relationships that work for both sides.

Parents of high achieving students may find that boarding schools are a better fit than the traditional school setting. Gifted students may feel isolated from their peers, or public schools simply may not be able to offer the resources they need to reach their full potential. Many boarding schools that cater to gifted students require an application for admission, as well as a high grade point average, state residency, recommendations from a teacher or principal or an interview.
Located in St. Louis, Missouri, the Thomas Jefferson school is a co-ed boarding school for students in grades seven through 12. Thomas Jefferson stresses the development of cultural literacy and analytical thinking, and recognizes that the teenage years are a formidable time for the creation and nurturing of these skills. They offer a small student to teacher ratio in addition to a rigorous curriculum. Students must take the SSAT and schedule an interview. No state or national residency restrictions are imposed.
Opened in 1980, the North Carolina School for Science and Mathematics was the first state-supported residential high school and quickly became the model for 18 similar institutions in 15 other states. The school is based on the premise that investing in human and intellectual capital produces global economic returns that benefit the region. There is a state residency restriction in place, and students are evaluated on SAT-1 scores, teacher and counselor evaluations, transcripts and attendance at the school's Discovery Day.
Located in New Hampshire, Phillips Exeter Academy was founded in 1781 and currently serves 1,000 students in grades nine through 12. Exeter is famous for its Harkness teaching method, where a seminar-style class is hosted with a teacher and only 12 students. Admitted students with a family income of less than $75,000 are permitted to attend the school at no cost. Exeter looks for determined, driven students who are already involved in extracurricular activities and have a love of math and science.
The Putney School in Vermont promises students a "progressive education for a sustainable future." As a progressive school, Putney focuses on application of the material rather than tests and rigid assessment styles. In addition, the school is designed to function as a community where students are involved in many aspects of running the school. Applying students will take the SSAT, supply four recommendations, complete essays and schedule an interview. Offers of admission are based on "personal promise and demonstrated academic achievement." | 2019-04-25T03:59:08 | https://www.theclassroom.com/list-boarding-schools-gifted-7949347.html |

Dandelion is a hardy perennial herb and a tasty salad vegetable. The flower stems of this plant grows up to a height of 30 cm. The sharply-toothed leaves form flat rosettes on the ground. The fleshy hollow stem carries a single bright yellow flower.
The common name dandelion comes from the French dent de lion, meaning lion's tooth and refers to the dentate leaf edges. However, some believe that the name is derived from the resemblance of the yellow flower petals to an heraldic lion's golden teeth. The name of the genus come from the Greek taraxos meaning disorders and akos meaning remedy, indicating the curative qualities of the herb.
A very common plant, dandelion grows wild almost everywhere. Dandelion is native to Europe. In India it is found throughout the Himalayas, from 300 to 5400 meters and in the Mishmi Hills.
Nutritionally, the dandelion has remarkable value. It contains almost as much iron as spinach, four times the vitamin A content of lettuce and is a very rich source of magnesium, potassium, vitamin C, calcium and sodium. An analysis of dandelion shows it to consist of protein, fat and carbohydrates. Its mineral and vitamin contents are calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, sodium, potassium, thiamine, riboflavin, vitamins C and A. Its calorific value is 45.
Dandelion contains a bitter crystalline principle, taraxacin and a crystalline substance, taraxacerin. It also contains the phytosterols, taraxasterol and humotaraxasterol. | 2019-04-26T10:40:06 | http://www.asianonlinerecipes.com/herbs-health/dandelion.php |
The lead seal is the first found bearing the image of St. Sabas, local big shot 1,500 years ago.
A rare seal from the Crusader era has been found in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Kiryat Yovel.
The lead seal, which dates to some 800 years ago, bears the likeness of St. Sabas, one of the most important people active in Jerusalem during the Byzantine period, some 1,500 years ago.
Despite the importance of St. Sabas — whose Syriac name is Mar Saba — to Christian history in Israel, no seals with his image had been found before.
St. Sabas was one of the most influential leaders of the Christian monastic movement that developed in the Judean Desert during the Byzantine period. He established several monasteries, but his crowning achievement was the construction of the Monastery of St. Sabas, referred to as the “Great Laura” in the Byzantine period.
Situated on a cliff overlooking the Kidron Valley outside the Old City of Jerusalem, it is the only monastery in the Judean Desert continuously inhabited since its foundation. At the time the seal was in use, the monastery had hundreds of monks. Today, about 10 Greek monks are in residence.
During the summer of 2012, the Israel Antiquities Authority conducted two archaeological salvage digs at Horbat Mizmil, an Arab village before 1948 and now a site slated for development in the Bayit Vegan neighborhood of Jerusalem.
It is the norm in Israel to examine land slated for development for antiquities. The salvage digs revealed the remains of a farmstead dating from the Byzantine period.
The archaeologists discovered that the site had been abandoned at the end of the Byzantine period, only to be resettled during the Crusader period (11th to 12th centuries). It continued to grow, reaching its maximum size during the Mamluk period (13th to 15th centuries).
It was during excavation of the Crusader-era layer that the seal with the saint’s bearded face was found. Other artifacts uncovered during the dig reflected daily life on the farmstead.
The seal, or bulla in Latin, was used to seal letters with wax, so they would not be opened by unauthorized people (or if they were, it would be obvious). It consists of two blank lead disks separated by a gap and connected by a string.
When sealing a letter, the disks were pressed together, creating a double-faced seal.
The object was examined by Dr. Robert Kool of the Israel Antiquities Authority and professor Jean-Claude Cheynet of France, who identified it as a seal stamped by the Monastery of St. Sabas during the Medieval period.
Dr. Yuval Baruch, Israel Antiquities Authority’s archaeologist responsible for Jerusalem and its environs, presented the unique find to the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, Theophilos III.
According to Benyamin Storchan and Benyamin Dolinka, excavation directors on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority, the excavated farmstead could be a farming settlement sold to the monastery in 1163 to 1164.
A document from the archives of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre during the Crusader period mentions a farming settlement called Thora, the whereabouts of which are unknown. It is quite possible the document refers to this site, the archaeologists say. | 2019-04-22T00:04:24 | https://www.haaretz.com/archaeology/crusader-era-seal-found-in-jerusalem-1.5249805 |

Fire alarms are tested to ensure malfunctions won't prevent them from sounding if there is a fire.
Fire alarms are installed most often in commercial buildings and large structures like apartment complexes. They may also be used as part of residential security systems. Fire alarms emit an alarm when smoke or heat is detected, but if the unit is not able to sense smoke or heat, or if it cannot emit the alarm, then it is not doing its job. Fire alarms must be tested annually with specialized tools to ensure they are in proper working condition.
Some fires produce little or no smoke. In the event that there is not enough smoke to set the alarm off, the fire's heat would be the only indication that a fire has occurred. To accurately test your fire alarm’s ability to sense heat, you must create heat in the range that is most likely to set off the alarm. Matches or lighters cannot do this, and they’re a dangerous way to test your alarm. Heat guns and blow dryers are also inaccurate tests of your fire alarm’s ability to sense the heat of a fire. Instead, a heat testing device is used for this purpose. Heat-detector testers are usually manufactured as portable pads that use saline to heat up, and they can be used to test a range of temperatures.
One of the primary ways your fire detector determines whether there is fire is by detecting smoke. Aerosol smoke sprays are used to test the alarm's ability to sense even small amounts of smoke. These sprays work on ionization- and photoelectric-type fire alarms, which are commonly used in residential installations. The spray creates a simulated smoke, which the fire alarm should detect. This will set off the alarm, confirming that it is working properly. If it does not go off, clean the vents of the fire alarm system and test again. Fire alarm vents and sensors should be vacuumed or cleaned monthly to ensure proper functioning.
Residential fire alarms are sometimes made with a magnetic test strip that would activate the device to determine if the alarm itself is working. A test magnet is a basic tool that is held to the test strip on the unit. The test magnet displays a status on the LED display to let you know whether the alarm is functioning properly. Test magnets only test the functionality of the fire alarm unit, however, not its sensitivity. It should never be considered an adequate test by itself and should be used in conjunction with heat and smoke testers.
In commercial installations or in large structures such as apartment buildings, there may be several units to test, and these are often located on a high ceiling that is not easily accessed. Testing is also difficult in homes with cathedral ceilings because ladders cannot provide proper access to the units. In these situations, a telescoping wand is used. The tester is attached to the wand, which usually has a gripping end. Then you can reach up to carry out the test safely and effectively.

"Many people seem to assume that massive technological developments are the “hand of God” or the “voice” of evolution. The human environment is now man made. Nature has been supplanted. This puts the moralist in an entirely new position for which there is no precedent."
Twentieth century man— electronic man— has now lived minus a physical body for some decades. In fact, he has become discarnate, and has become accustomed to substituting an abstract image for his physical being. The telephone is the most prominent of these discarnating instruments, and underpins all the effects that go with the discarnate state, Discarnate man has no relation to Natural law, and thus has no private identity and no relation to natural morality. The moral anarchy of our time is directly related to our electric technology, which is totally overlooked by the commentators on the impact of the telephone.
On the telephone, or on the air, man is in every sense discarnate, existing as an abstract image, a figure without a body. The Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland is a kind of parallel to our state When discarnate, man has no identity, and is not subject to natural law. In fact he has no basis for Morals of any sort. As electric information, moved at the speed of light, man is a nobody. When deprived of his identity, man becomes violent in divers ways. Violence is the quest for identity. | 2019-04-21T12:33:36 | http://www.mcluhanonmaui.com/2011/08/mcluhan-morals.html |
Don Bradman was just 21 years old when he scored the highest number of runs by a single batsman in one day’s play (309 runs not out) in the third Ashes test on 11 July 1930.
The legendary cricketer smashed the previous record by a century. To this day, his record still stands.
But that’s not the only amazing thing about Sir Don Bradman. We’re all familiar with his illustrious cricketing career, but here are five things you might not know.
Bradman was a big music fan, who played the piano and even composed his own songs.
After returning from winning the Ashes, he teamed up with songwriter Jack Lumsdaine to write ‘Every day is a rainbow day for me’, setting Jack’s words to music.
When Mandela was released from prison several years later, Fraser gave him an autographed cricket bat that said, "To Nelson Mandela in recognition of a great unfinished innings – Don Bradman".
Don first met his future wife when he was five. The pair were married for 65 years until her death on 14 September 1997.
At the end of the 1934 tour of England, Bradman contracted acute appendicitis and was so ill that newspapers began preparing obituaries.
The ABC postal address in all capital cities of Australia is Post Office Box 9994, Bradman's Test batting average (99.94). | 2019-04-26T14:57:27 | https://www.nationalgeographic.com.au/australia/5-things-you-may-not-know-about-sir-don-bradman.aspx |

This year we had a special request for a Valentine's day session so we broke out the conversation hearts, red lipstick, and the white seamless backdrop. Anderson was pretty keen on trying to eat the candies but his mommas knew what was up - those things are nasty. Or maybe they just didn't want to feed a 9 month old sugar. We'll never know. Haha! I had so much fun with that silly little cutie and am excited to share some of the photos with you!
I took the opportunity to take some Valentine's Day pictures of Malcolm while we had such a cute set-up ready to go and he was way not going to eat those chalky little sugar heart 'candies' but he sure looked cute making heart angels(think snow angel) in them!

Lipozene is an excellent product! I canceled my shipments because Walgreen's has Lipozene on sale this week. Two bottles for $19.99! When I went to Walgreen's this past Sunday, I really loaded up!
Thank you so much Lipozene !
I started using Lipozene right after the 2013 Christmas season and now into May 2014 I've lost 30 pounds. Thanks Lipozene. It really does work. I've got a ways to go but I'm taking it 10 pounds at a time.
I have tried in the past everything until I found Lipozene. I have been taken Lipozene for over 6 months and I lost about 25 pounds. I still want to lose 10 more. This product really works.
Comments: Thanks for sharing! Please keep us posted on your results.
I have been carrying an additional 60 to 80 lbs for 3 years. I gained all this weight in the beginning of menopause. I don't eat alot & really don't induldge in junk food so why this weight seemed impossible to lose was beyond my understanding. I have tried numerous weight loss products along with excercise and limiting my diet to fruits and vegetables with minimal red meat. My weight would not budge, not even the normal 5 lbs of fluctuation. I could afford it and said I've got nothing to lose. Well, I was wrong, I did have something to lose--YIIIPPPPPEEEEE a whole 18 lbs is gone. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am and HOPEFUL. I just found out about my weight loss last night so tonight I went and got a few more bottles. | 2019-04-20T16:23:24 | https://www.lipozene.com/reviews?p=6 |

We’re different! Think of us as an oasis in the center of a metropolitan jungle. There is not a house in sight. Located on a 464 acre site formerly mined for phosphate, the Sanlan Golf Course is unique. The above acreage does not include the adjacent 150 acre Sanlan Bird & Wildlife Sanctuary which is a 501(c)3 charitable corporation. Total area including the bird sanctuary – 614 acres.
Sanlan is fun to play! We have numerous changes in elevation, wide & narrow fairways, doglegs, water hazards, sand traps, tree lined ridges, tees & greens overlooking Banana Lake, all in a quiet and serene setting.
Our “A” course starts in front of the clubhouse next to a quality practice green of zoysia grass. The “A” course has been popular over the 20 years we have been in business because it is fun to play. It was reconstructed in the summer of 2017, several fairways widened, and all of the greens planted with zoysia grass. This nine has tree lined ridges on both sides. It starts with a par 4 guarded by a small pond.
The “B” course is strategic in design. It starts with a dogleg left. You need to think about the placement of every ball when playing the “B’ course. This nine has also been popular with golfers over the years.
If you like to swing away and “let er rip”, the “C” course is for you. Elevated tees and greens, wide, open fairways! This course meanders down to Banana Lake, then runs along the lake with a scenic view of the lake. Lots of gulls, hawks, & waterfowl. You will like the beauty of the “C” course.
The Sanlan Golf Course opened in 1991 and was originally named the Bramble Ridge Golf Course.
Designed by a no name architect, the designer gave special attention to the existing natural amenities of this unique property. The course was designed around it’s special features. It is strategic in design which means that you have to think about the placement of every shot if you want to make par.
Since that time the course has been in a continuous state of improvement.
It has and is the goal of management to be the best we can be. Our immediate goal is to continue with the improvements we have started in order to offer our customers quality golf and the best value for the money. We are well on the way to achieving this goal. | 2019-04-25T11:53:25 | https://www.sanlangolf.com/the-course/ |

The South by South West conference saw Google's vice president of consumer services giving a keynote on the company's mapping and location based services.
Google's Marissa Mayer gave a keynote speech on the growth of Google Maps for Mobile, and which people are using the service on the day to day basis.
Google Maps for Mobile, which has grown to 150 million users, is used by almost 40 per cent of all Google Maps users. Mayer said that there have been days when Google Maps mobile usage has been more than the desktop usage.
The company has incorporated desktop functionalities like Google Street View and turn-by-turn directions to Google Maps for Mobile, making it a primary source for people looking for instant directions while on road.
The Route Around feature presents users with the three shortest routes to a particular destination. The feature has now been updated with the ability to provide the fastest routes based on real-time traffic data, for free. This particular function has been offered by other GPS navigation systems for some time, though at a price.
Another market Google is aggressively chasing is that of location based services, which allow users to discover new locations by 'checking in' or sharing their location with users. Google's Hotspot allows users to search for local businesses or places based on the information shared by their friends or by searching the web via Google. | 2019-04-25T20:09:04 | https://www.itproportal.com/2011/03/14/google-reveals-40-use-google-maps-mobile/ |

Looking to golf away from home this weekend? If you live in the North Carolina Triangle, RDU Airport can take you to all kinds of fun golf destinations! If you’re looking for a short golf getaway – or a long one – see where the airport can take you. We’ve outlined our favorites below, but you can view a full list here.
The Happiest City on Earth is best known for a certain mouse, but it’s also a window into one of the greatest golf states in the Union. With regular service offered by Delta, Frontier, Southwest, and Allegiant, flying to Orlando from Raleigh is easy.
The best golf in Orlando is arguably at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill course, which gets its name from the famous golfer and sweet tea/lemonade enthusiast wintering there. The club houses an 18-hole PGA course and a 9-hole easier course, along with a spa and hotel. If you are swinging by the mouse’s house, the Waldorf Astoria is in his backyard, and comes complete with a gorgeous course. Designed by Rees Jones, the 18-hole course uses Florida’s marshy terrain to great – and challenging – effect.
That’s right: if you want to get a bit of Old World action, American offers a nonstop flight to London! Though Europe at large is a prime golfing destination, jolly old Greater London is home to a number of excellent courses.
Just 35 minutes from the heart of the city, Royal Blackheath Golf Club might be the oldest golf club in the world. Visitors can play on the 400+ year-old course Mondays through Fridays, and the club offers occasional networking and professional events. Head a bit further south and you can visit the fittingly named London Golf Club. The club’s two courses combine mythical Old World scenery with tournament quality design. Both are open Monday through Thursday.
If you can handle the heat, Phoenix’s Scottsdale influence has turned it from Wild West adventure town into a premier golf destination. You can fly there direct via Southwest.
On Native land you’ll find We-Ko-Pa, a club housing two excellent 18-hole courses. Both courses – called Cholla and Saguaro – use the rugged desert landscape for challenging contours and fiendish sand traps. Speaking of striking landscapes, you can find The Boulders in the Phoenix suburb of Carefree. While the two courses are certainly worthwhile, the real draw are the prehistoric rocks that watch over the course like guardians.
Do you want to bring the world’s greatest game to your doorstep? Governors Club offers luxurious custom homes on a Nicklaus Signature golf course, along with other amenities located in the heart of North Carolina’s Triangle. If you want to live where it all happens, contact Governors Club Realty today! | 2019-04-19T07:06:40 | https://www.governorsclub.com/governors-club-living/direct-flight-golf-destinations-from-rdu-airport |
The Voorheesville Elementary School crossing was a prefabricated bridge manufactured remotely and then shipped to the site for installation by others. A stunning architectural landmark for the school the Decero™ Design team visualized a 55 foot long free span structure built to sustain a 100PSF loading capacity with a hearty extruded truss hand rail, custom post caps, and contrasting color palette that blends with the classic architecture of the campus. From an off-site build to an seamless on-site installation the YBC team coordinated a safe crossing for elementary students and faculty that empowers their daily commute with a stylish approach to their day. | 2019-04-23T00:02:59 | https://www.ybc.com/voorheesville-elementary-school/ |

COT Gold, Silver and US Dollar Index Report - February 1, 2019 (as of Monday, December 24, 2018).
- Unbacked paper currencies eventually fail. Gold is always valuable.
- Silver is under-priced. This is changing in 2019.
Metals stay well bid into Wednesday's FOMC Monetary Policy Statement and Press Conference (video update).
The magnificent gold price rally has paused in the $1300 area for the past few weeks. Monday was COMEX option expiry day. With that now out of the way, gold is already staging more upside action!
The U.K. has declined to give Venezuela its gold. The message is clear, US and UK will not give gold to nations have given gold to them during the pre-world war II era. The net result will be more and more nations will try and switch away from the US dollar and increase gold reserves.
The 1330.40 ‘D’ pivot will become our minimum upside objective if the futures can close for two consecutive days above p or trade more than $3 above it intraday. Traders please note that a pullback to the green line at 1289.10 from around 1310.00 would trip a ‘mechanical’ buy signal, stop 1275.20.
US-China trade war result, FOMC and January nonfarm payrolls will be closely watched. Gold and silver demand will be dependent on the ability/inability to trade over $1300 and $1560. A big week for gold and silver bulls.
Sinking US Dollar after opening of US Government causes sharp rally in all metals (video update). | 2019-04-20T22:52:06 | http://markets.goldseek.com/archives/2_Markets-archive-27-1-2019.php |
First, I’ll discuss blizzards as part of my avalanche post for A.
A BLIZZARD is a severe snowstorm that typically lasts for three hours or more. Frequent snow fall combined with wind of 35 mph or greater reduces visibility (this is known as a whiteout), making driving and even venturing outdoors dangerous. Sleet and freezing rain can make matters worse when you’re traveling. And blizzards can cause snowdrifts (huge mountains of snow) that you may not see until you run into one. Snowdrifts can get so big that they can bury houses and trap residents inside for days.
FACT: The Storm of the 20th Century took place in March 1993, causing 300 deaths and 10 million power outages.
Blizzards are very dangerous if you’re caught outside in one. Low wind chill (the amount of cooling one “feels” due to wind and temperature) can result in frostbite and hypothermia. Even If you’re safe indoors, heavy snowfall can cave in roofs, freeze pipes, and snap power lines, which will take out your electricity and heat. If you’re trapped inside a house, waiting for the snowdrifts to melt, food and water may run low.
FACT: A severe blizzard has near or below zero temperature.
1. Stay hydrated and well nourished.
2. Keep moving to avoid hypothermia.
3. Build a snow cave to block the wind.
If there is a blizzard warning, stock up on non-perishable food, bottled water, blankets, candles and matches.
A BLACKOUT is a total loss of power to an area due to a power station tripping, and is the most extreme form of power outage that can ever occur. It is difficult to recover from this type of outage and it can last anywhere from minutes to weeks. In a blackout, whole cities are impacted.
At night, it becomes so dark without the glow of streetlights, buildings and cars that it can appear pitch-black, as if a cloak is covering the city. Blackouts are dangerous because if they last for days, food and clean water can run low. Crimes also spike.
QUESTION: Has anyone here ever been in a blizzard or blackout?
I'ma member of Tremp's Troops!
Excellent "B" post Chrys, most graphic and interesting to read.
I don't know how you could do it, Melanie. Brrr!
I live close to the Tropic of Capricorn, so do not experience snow. These pics are great to view. They give a real perspective of what it would be like.
When I lived in the Midwest, we experienced blizzards often. I remember once the snowdrift came up to the roof and covered our sliding glass doors.
We had a few this year and thankfully I didn't lose power.
That's good! Losing power during a blizzard is the worst. Or so everyone says. I've never experienced one.
The snow storms of my teen years were consistently blizzard-ish. The weather has definitely changed in the Northeast. I'm in TN now, and they call a dusting a bad snow and they lose power way more often then I ever remember it happening up north.
I'm still looking at the snow from this winter's blizzards! Luckily I've never been caught outside in one, though.
The snow is still there. Wow!
I've never been in a blizzard - it just doesn't do that around here in Kent, however, I do remember a total blackout. After the hurricane of 1987 we had no power in our village for over a week. The whole community pulled together, those with gas cooking and heating water for those who were all electric.
I've experienced power outages from hurricanes. They are not fun.
I've been in a blizzard. Grew up on a farm and we still had to take care of the cows, milk them and try to keep the lane open. Even got frostbite.
The longest we've gone without power in our current home was about a day and a half.
Frostbite? Ouch! I wouldn't do well in places that get hit hard in the winter.
Been in both. There used to be a lot of black outs and power outages in Haiti. But it never bothered people. They'd just break out the candles and hang out on the porch/veranda. A blackout happened when I was a teen in NYC once and had to walk 10+ blocks home from my friend's house. Good thing it happened during the day. But I don't mind blizzards really (but can't stand the cold) BC at least I get a snow day BC of it.
Yes, unfortunately I've experienced a blizzards and blackouts. I find these posts very interesting Chrys. With all the facts you share, these conditions and events could be tucked into a story, wisely. Thanks.
Oh yes. I got a lot of ideas for stories with these posts. ;) I'm glad you find them interesting.
I can only imagine stand on snow so deep I'm at the top of a power pole!
When I was a kid we had a blizzard (the same year as the New York pic) and that was very unusual for Cincinnati. Of course, since I was only 9 I loved it. The main thing I remember is we only had to go to school for half a day because a nearby school had no power so we shared our building with them. I thought that was about the most awesome thing ever ha.
I would've thought that was fun too. Haha.
I was very, very young at the time, but I remember it being so cold we all gathered around our furnace in the basement and my parents quietly worried about it giving out.
I can only image their fear.
No Blizzards here in sleepy southern England, but we have had a blackout. We had a hurricane in 1987, something the UK was totally unprepared for, and it took out our power for a week. Luckily we had gas to cook with.
No blizzards here in Florida either, but plenty of blackouts due to hurricanes. I had no power for a week once, too. It was crazy!
Weather is sometimes the most basic thing we forget that is can hold us all in one place.. without it trying to hard.
Weather is a force not to be reckoned with.
I'd much rather experience a blackout due to thunderstorms etc than a blizzard any day!
A blizzard would make a great setting for suspense or a love story. I've been in a few blizzards having lived on the Canadian Prairies for over 20 years. I've driven in a white out (never again!) and was afraid for my life. Blackouts are scary. Remember when 1/2 of New York experience black out with the hurricane? Great tips on survival of each, Chrys.
Yes, it would. Oh gosh, whiteouts are so dangerous. Good thing you survived that! I sure do remember that. I was watching the news about the New York blackout.
Been through plenty of blizzards. I remember the blizzard of 93 that you mentioned. I was in the mountains of southern West Virginia at the time. Now I live in Florida so no more blizzards.
I'm in Florida too. Good thing, because I wouldn't do well in a blizzard.
Goodness, those pictures look so dreadful! I pray I never get caught in a blizzard. And I had no idea you can "drink" snow. Yikes!
As long its melted and warmed, you can.
That's fascinating. I couldn't image needing a generator at night, but if I grew up there it wouldn't be a big thing.
There was a huge, famous blizzard in Albany, NY on 4 October 1987, shortly after my family had moved into our new house. We get brutal winters, but we hadn't gotten a blizzard that early before. Every winter, I'm tempted by my aunt's repeated offer to move to Florida to be near her.
Great post! I've been in a couple of each over the years. The first blizzard I remember was when I was 4. Woke to 3 feet of snow! It was amazing. We used to keep candles our Coleman lantern handy due to black outs. They never lasted long, but they happened a lot.
You were four and you remember that? I can't remember anything from when I was four. Haha!
Pa. in a whiteout was scary! I stopped and stayed out at a weight for hours.
Should say: ...stayed at a weight station for hours.
I can imagine how scary that would be.
Great post ~ each of those photos tell quite a story. Southern Ontario has had some horrific ice storms in the past few years, accompanied by long power shortages ... weeks, not just days! Mother Nature is not always good to us!
Mother Nature does what she wants. She's a fierce one.
What a great theme! I have been in a blizzard but never a blackout.
The last major blizzard here was in 2004. Roofs were collapsing. We've had a few blackouts. Ugh. They're awfully scary, especially at night.
Blackouts are worst at night.
I haven't experienced those conditions, though this year it felt like a blizzard with those cold temps and snow.
Hi Chrys - I wrote about our snows that lasted for 10 weeks and we had blizzards then .. we must have had power blackouts - though I don't remember that .. the snow was dreadful .. and I was ill - so was late going back to school - but everyone was much hardier then - in the early 60s ..
We can have white outs down here - had one when Mum was alive .. it all came down in an hour .. completely couldn't see - only six inches but that was enough in an hour .. and I just managed to get home ... it was April so it wasn't too cold.
Horrifying experience .. either of them!
Being sick during blizzards would be terrible!
Never been in either (had short blackouts sometimes but never longer than an hour or so). I really hate the cold (maybe I shouldn't be in Ohio...), and a blizzard is something I'd never want to experience.
I'd never want to experience a blizzard either, and thankfully won't in Florida.
Ha! I was born in Michigan but was raised in Florida. My dad lives there now though and tells me all about the winters up there.
No blizzards around this part of the country. Not days-long blackouts, but blackouts that happen for a couple hours, yes. Still remember the rolling blackouts of a decade or so ago.
I grew up in Michigan so I love a good snowstorm. The more the better.
I was born in Michigan but my family moved down to Florida when I was two, so I don't remember the snow.
Good luck with the A-Z challenge. Great B post!! Also, heartfelt thanks to you for posting all your writing tips - specifically the editing tips. They were a great help to me, resulting in a much tighter written first novel. All the best.
The very thought makes me shiver! I'll take sunshine anytime :-) Well done, Chrys!
Never caught in a blizzard yet. Not unless you count the times they refused to cancel school when I was a youth for snowy conditions. If I ever were to be caught in a blizzard, I'd hope there would be a Tauntaun and lightsaber handy.
I've been pretty fortunate with blackouts as well. However, once touring a cavern the tour guide took us to the deepest part we could possibly go and then turned out all the lights. Absolute darkness can be quite disorienting.
We have a blizzard going on right now, but it's pretty tame. In Canada, we're so used to them that they normally don't result in fatalities. In rural areas, blackouts are common, but thankfully don't last very long.
Really? Wow. I didn't know Canada was experiencing a blizzard right now. I can see where Canadians would be used to them.
I don't blame you, David.
You could add "buzzards and bats" Nice post.
Yes, you're right, I was thinking more haunted than disaster/crime scenes, but the buzzards would be there after the scene to clean it up!
Oh, yes, they would be.
Never was in a blizzard, got a lot of snow when we lived in Montana, but never blizzard conditions like described here.
Yep, blackout back in 2011 when we lived in San Diego. Some person flipped the wrong switch or something like that and wiped out power for all of San Diego County, some of Orange County (right above San Diego County) and to parts of Arizona. It took about 24 hours to completely restore power. They could only bring back a few grids at a time to not overload the system. We were out for about 21 hours. Lesson learned....eat ice cream first. It was the hottest day of August, LOL, and we thought it wouldn't be off for that long, even after we heard the news about what happened. Of course the ice cream melted, even in the freezer, had to be thrown away. Next time ice cream gets eaten!
Blizzards, ugh. I've had enough of those for a lifetime, and that's just talking about this winter. Once a few years ago, there was actually a blizzard that caused a blackout! It was very cold and we couldn't use the refrigerator (although we could put the cold items outside in the snow).
I guess that's one good thing about snow during a blizzard.
Weather can be so brutal, especially snow. I've had street-wide blackouts, but not whole city ones. I imagine chaos would reign!
Chaos would reign. You're right about that.
I grew up in New York City and survived both the 1965 blackout (I was 12) and several blizzards (and a hurricane). Living in upstate New York, I've been through several more major snowstorms, including the storm of March, 1993.
Those must make great stories.
Was in a three day blackout in the middle of winter. There was no heat or stove until they replaced the power pole that broke and burned.
That would be brutal. I've only experienced blackouts in the heat after a hurricane.
I've never been in a blizzard because I only spent one year in West Virginia and that winter while it was snowy it wasn't a blizzard. Now I have been in a couple of short term blackouts. Here in Las Vegas we have flash floods in the summer time where the rain will come down really hard for an hour and flood out places. It also knocks out the power at times. The longest power outage we had was 3 days. Last year we had a loss of power for 2 hours a total of three times last summer. I keep ice blocks in my freezer to keep my rats cool, bottles of water in a cabinet and canned food in the bottom of the closet just in case the power is out for more than a few hours.
Rain that knocks out power must be a heavy downpour. Keeping ice, water, and canned goods on hand is a good idea!
I've been in a blackout (in a city) that lasted for more than a day. The interesting thing is it actually brought the community closer together. People eating together and watching the stars and helping direct traffic. Who knows what would have happened if it went on, but it was an eye-opener.
Disasters often to bring communities closer. That's the oen good thing about them.
Unfortunately I'm well acquainted with both blizzards and black-outs. Neither are fun ... especially when the black-out occurs during arctic temperatures. Brrrr.
A blackout with a blizzard would be horrible!
I think 1993 was the year we got the really bad ice storm in Nashville. Ice formed on a lot of power lines and power went out for people for weeks. I'd love to have a backup generator in case that ever happens again.
You can never go wrong with a back up generate.
Too scary events. Growing up in Chicago we had several blizzards. I never knew that time was a factor in the definition. Now we live at the end of a peninsula in New Zealand, and we have frequent black outs.
I've been in several blackouts over the years. Too many to keep track of really, lol. Though I haven't been in a blizzard yet. The photo you shared of the man standing next to a power line is pretty intense. I've been in below zero temperatures but hope I never ever see that much snow fall. Yikes! Thanks for sharing, Chrys.
Thanks for stopping by, Lanise!
Time to prepare is important and something we didn't have back in the day.
Not many blizzards in So. Cal., but I was in the 1994 earthquake and we lost all power everywhere. Scary!!!
I didn't know you can't eat snow!!!! I grew up in MA and feel I should have known that. At least I know it now, thank you!
Well, don't eat snow when you're stuck outside. It'll freeze your insides.
The only time I've been in a blizzard is on a train travelling from Luxembourg to Brussels. I was so excited, rushing from one side of the train to the other snapping away. Got some great pics. The locals on the train shook their heads, well used to such extremes.
We get blackouts in Australia during thunderstorms which can be pretty fierce here in the sub-tropics. Was out 3 days once after a severe hailstorm. Not fun, but luckily the council allowed everyone to leave their rotting food on the footpath and they came by and collected it all.
That was nice of the council. No one wants rotting food in the house.
Don't drink/eat snow in a blizzard because of the extreme cold. The cold snow will freeze your insides.
Never faced a drastic blizzard in the 4 years we have been in the US. Although my hubby and I got experience the same set of problems in 2012 when we were working in different cities and the hurricane - Sandy arrived. I wasn't able to reach him since there was no power to charge his phone and our family back home was worried to know the impact.
Hurricane Sandy was a beast!
i remember the blizzard of '67 in Chicago, when our mom took my brother and me to the grocery store on a sled! I thought that you only weren't supposed to eat yellow snow!
No yellow snow. Definitely not. You could eat snow, just not when you have no way to keep your body warm. Otherwise that snow will freeze your insides.
Reading about these two disasters definitely gives me ideas for scenes in stories! I think the blackout one for some reason really intrigues me, because blizzards have been done a lot in stories. Of course, I've never lived through a blizzard so I wouldn't mind at least being able to watch one from safe indoors (with a roof that won't collapse!).
Blizzards are been done a lot. I had actually read a blizzard story when I got the idea for Hurricane Crimes, because I had never come across a story that took place during a hurricane.
In honor of the upcoming holiday of Passover, for B, the plague of BUGS and the plague of BOILS.
I was in the Blizzard of '77 in Buffalo NY. What a storm that was. We were stuck inside for days, couldn't get out our front door because the snow drifts were so high. My brother who was working at GM was stuck in the plant for several days. When it was over, we ventured out and drove around town. Houses were completely buried and all you could see were the peaks of rooftops. Entire roads were nothing but snow drifts and completely impassable. While the storm was starting a state of emergency was declared and all vehicles were restricted from travel. The only means of transport were emergency snow-mobiles. It was insane. I live in Austin TX now and believe it or not, I miss the snow so much! I yearn to go back to Buffalo and be stuck in a blizzard again (tucked safely in a nice warm cozy home with family and good friends of course). :) Great post Chrys.
Seeing houses buried, and being inside a house buried by snow, would be frightening.
I worked at the Bank of New York during the March 1993 storm. Even though we were released from work early (before noon), I didn't make it home until after dark. It was a mess.
It took you that long to get home? Geez! That sounds like mess.
Been through both, many times. Thankfully never got trapped, though- THAT would be scary!
Getting trapped in a house during a blizzard would be very scary. | 2019-04-22T01:12:00 | https://www.writewithfey.com/2015/04/b-is-for-blizzard-and-blackout.html |

Here is a selection of Nikon 18-200mm sample photos photographed during the Super GT Race at Sepang, 2008.
For photos at the same event taken with the Nikon 70-300mm VR lens, see here.
Unless otherwise stated, all of them have not gone through any post-processing edits.
Where a photo has the original version posted, I’ll mention that.
I hope these JPEG, Large, Fine images and my comments will help you to decide whether or not you should get the 18-200mm VR Nikkor lens.
One of the most touted advantage of the 18-200 lens is the huge zoom range that starts at 28mm (after accounting for the 1.5x crop factor in Nikon’s DX digital SLR cameras) and goes all the way to 300mm (it doesn’t actually reach this far, but I’ll write about it more in another post).
So, I’ll present these photos in ascending focal lengths to help showcase some of this zoom flexibility that I’ve found very useful in my day-to-day photography with the 18-200 mounted on the Nikon D300.
For this particular event, my D300 was set up this way.
The 18-200 can’t be used to take critical architecture photos, but the 28mm equivalent end of the zoom range makes it absolutely convenient to photograph facades of buildings.
The D300 was accidentally left in ISO 400, hence the appearance of noise if you look real closely. I find the 18mm end of the zoom range just wide enough to take in the entire scene and the context. It would have been better if the lens could go to 16mm (like the Nikon 16-85mm Zoom Nikkor).
The 18-200mm VR lens would never win against a dedicated wide-angle prime lens or even the pricier zooms for raw optical quality, but this picture shows that you get can get images with this lens that are sharp where they need to be, and even the extreme corners of the frame show sufficient detail.
Here’s another photo where I forgot to set the ISO at 200. But just look at all the detail captured.
There’s nothing quite like taking a snap of everything in the scene at 18mm to remember the event.
This photo gives you an idea of the type of sharpness you can expect at 56mm and f/9. I focused on the Porsche.
For now, I’ve only demonstrated photos taken in the 18mm to 56mm zoom range. I’ll be posting more examples of images taken at longer focal lengths in future. | 2019-04-25T10:18:51 | https://www.dpnotes.com/nikon-18-200-super-gt-samples/ |
I’ve missed picking flowers from this garden.
Our garden is slowly but finally taking shape. I’ve been planting, watering, and feeding many new arrivals. I feel strangely addictive to adding more and more plants. I want to turn the garden that at the moment is very formal and almost boring looking into a wild and romantic jungle. I got a lot of climbers; roses, clematis, jasmine to cover every wall and fence. For the flowerbeds an abundant mixture of whatever I fall in love with when I see it. Its made me impatient as well though. I have this vision of what I want the garden to look like but all the flowers still seem so small and tiny and only slow growing. I hope it all pays off soon!
A lovely song that I can’t stop listening to. | 2019-04-24T22:05:05 | https://thewindflowerhouse.com/dreaming-of-wild-gardens/ |
Basically I have two worksheets that have a common range data (Text). I am trying to match data in one worksheet to the same data in the other worksheet. Once a match is found then additional data (Text) currently in one of the workseets is recorded in the other worksheet that did not previously have this additional data. Below is the formula i used without success.
You can't use an IF to find values over a range of cells.
Assuming you are trying to match values in Column A and return the value from Column B, try something like this.
Note: Since I can't see your worksheet from where I'm sitting, I might not have the formula exactly correct. Review the Excel Help files for VLOOKUP to see if it sounds like what you need.
This will look through 'PT Vendor List'!$A$2:$A$748 for the value in A2 and return the value from the second column of 'PT Vendor List'!$A$2:$B$748, which is column B.
If the value isn't found it will return #N/A, which can also be dealt with. However, before we get into that, determine if VLOOKUP will fit your needs. | 2019-04-21T16:13:08 | https://www.computing.net/answers/office/match-text-in-two-worksheets/12980.html |
While most of us don’t eat Chinese food just for the fortune cookie, when we get at the end of the meal, it is a nice treat, right? While the sayings inside are meant to give you an inspiring message or give you something to look forward to, sometimes they can switch things up and be completely hilarious. We have found 20 hilarious fortune cookie sayings that will have you cracking up, so check them out below!
This one is funny, as it is telling you that only fortune cookies know what they are talking about. Those other psychics and fortune tellers are crazy!
While this is not really a fortune, it is definitely speaking the truth! After eating Chinese food, you probably do have rice in your teeth.
This could be interpreted a few ways. Maybe they are telling you to run and be more active. Maybe they are telling you to run and not pay the bill. Maybe they are telling you to run because you are about to be attacked by some alien creatures!
Just a simple message from your fortune cookie, as they are excited to finally get out of that cookie. Um, how fresh is the cookie you just ate then?
As funny as it is, it speaks the truth! No fortune here, but telling you about marriage and what it means.
We all want to crack open the fortune cookie and find some amazing message and think our world is going to change. Sometimes we pick the wrong fortune cookie!
This is some good advice from your fortune cookie, even though it is funny as heck. A pessimist thinks they’ll never get their money back, so might as well borrow from them.
Admit it, you have read your fortune cookie before and thought this same exact thing. We have all done it, so this fortune cookie is calling us out on it.
This one kind of goes with the previous one, but they are telling you straight up to not be a d*ck. This is good advice for a lot of people in the world.
Who wouldn’t like a little Rick Astley when they open up their fortune cookie? While some fortunes can be boring, we would be busting out right at the table singing this song.
Even fortune cookies can have a sense of humor. They must have gotten tired of coming up with inspirational quotes, so they just went simple and sarcastic with this one.
Not only is this one funny, but it also gets you thinking for a quick second. How much deeper would it be? Then you snap out of it and giggle.
This is true, as we often tend to get the terrible fortune and our friends get the cool ones. We’d rather get this one than some lame fortune.
Even the fortune cookie is telling you to put it off for a little while longer. After eating Chinese, no one wants to do anything for a little while anyway, right?
We are definitely taking a nap after eating Chinese, so maybe this cookie is doing the same thing. Or the worker who was typing them up was tired and took a breather.
Now we should go back to the cookie that said run, and pick the meaning we need, since you’re now being attacked by aliens — well, it doesn’t say attacked, but what else would the aliens want?
It looks like this company needs a spellchecker before production agrees to start making the fortune cookies. However, the actual message is still funny.
Oh, you got an amazing message last time in your fortune cookie and you are still waiting for it to happen? It looks like it will never happen now!
While we all want a message of hope, this message sums it up perfectly. It is just a cookie and it can’t help you!
You grabbed the fortune cookie closest to you on the table, as that is supposed to be good luck. You open it up and have this message, so that superstition is wrong, huh? | 2019-04-19T04:42:25 | https://www.lolwot.com/20-funny-fortune-cookie-sayings-to-crack-you-up/ |

Hey all. Just signed up to the forum. Hoping you all can help me.
We have a 2005 350z Touring. It's my wife's baby. Car is clean. Only has 34k original miles. We bought it new. Our 27th anniversary is coming up and there are a couple of things I'd like to do the car as a gift for her.
One of them is to replace the passenger side, center AC vent. The original cracked a while ago and it's something she has wanted fix for a while. I was able to source a replacement. I have it. But I have no clue how to remove the old one to put the new one in. I've searched all over YouTube and can't seem to find any vids on how to do it. Any help you can give would be great. Image of the vent below.
The other thing I am not sure is doable. She has always hated the center console compartment above the head unit. Is there an aftermarket navigation unit or something else that would fit in this area? Something that would replace the compartment which she has always found to he a waste of space.

As for the cubby, lots of people have done different things with that space. I put in a Garmin Drive 51 and the fitment is almost perfect. The door still shuts with it recessed.

Vitamin D — Health Professional Fact Sheet. Introduction. Vitamin D is a fat- soluble vitamin that is naturally present in very few foods, added to others, and available as a dietary supplement. It is also produced endogenously when ultraviolet rays from sunlight strike the skin and trigger vitamin D synthesis. Vitamin D obtained from sun exposure, food, and supplements is biologically inert and must undergo two hydroxylations in the body for activation. The first occurs in the liver and converts vitamin D to 2.
Crazy days and nights is a gossip site. Adults need at least: 2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., brisk walking) every week and muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week that work all major muscle groups. WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld President Obama’s health care overhaul law, saying its requirement that most Americans obtain insurance or pay a penalty was authorized by Congress’s power to.

D . The second occurs primarily in the kidney and forms the physiologically active 1,2. D . It is also needed for bone growth and bone remodeling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts . Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin, brittle, or misshapen. Vitamin D sufficiency prevents rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults . Together with calcium, vitamin D also helps protect older adults from osteoporosis. Vitamin D has other roles in the body, including modulation of cell growth, neuromuscular and immune function, and reduction of inflammation . Many genes encoding proteins that regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis are modulated in part by vitamin D .
Many cells have vitamin D receptors, and some convert 2. OH)D to 1,2. 5(OH)2. D. Serum concentration of 2. OH)D is the best indicator of vitamin D status. It reflects vitamin D produced cutaneously and that obtained from food and supplements .
OH)D functions as a biomarker of exposure, but it is not clear to what extent 2. OH)D levels also serve as a biomarker of effect (i. Serum 2. 5(OH)D levels do not indicate the amount of vitamin D stored in body tissues. In contrast to 2. OH)D, circulating 1,2.
OH)2. D is generally not a good indicator of vitamin D status because it has a short half- life of 1. Levels of 1,2. 5(OH)2. D do not typically decrease until vitamin D deficiency is severe . Based on its review of data of vitamin D needs, a committee of the Institute of Medicine concluded that persons are at risk of vitamin D deficiency at serum 2. OH)D concentrations < 3. L (< 1. 2 ng/m. L). Some are potentially at risk for inadequacy at levels ranging from 3.
L (1. 2–2. 0 ng/m. L). Practically all people are sufficient at levels . Serum concentrations > 1. L (> 5. 0 ng/m. L) are associated with potential adverse effects . Considerable variability exists among the various assays available (the two most common methods being antibody based and liquid chromatography based) and among laboratories that conduct the analyses .
This means that compared with the actual concentration of 2. OH)D in a sample of blood serum, a falsely low or falsely high value may be obtained depending on the assay or laboratory used . A standard reference material for 2. OH)D became available in July 2. DRI is the general term for a set of reference values used to plan and assess nutrient intakes of healthy people. These values, which vary by age and gender, include: Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA): average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all (9. Adequate Intake (AI): established when evidence is insufficient to develop an RDA and is set at a level assumed to ensure nutritional adequacy.
Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL): maximum daily intake unlikely to cause adverse health effects . RDAs for vitamin D are listed in both International Units (IUs) and micrograms (mcg); the biological activity of 4. IU is equal to 1 mcg (Table 2). Even though sunlight may be a major source of vitamin D for some, the vitamin D RDAs are set on the basis of minimal sun exposure . The flesh of fatty fish (such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel) and fish liver oils are among the best sources .
Small amounts of vitamin D are found in beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks. Vitamin D in these foods is primarily in the form of vitamin D3 and its metabolite 2. OH)D3 . Some mushrooms provide vitamin D2 in variable amounts .
Mushrooms with enhanced levels of vitamin D2 from being exposed to ultraviolet light under controlled conditions are also available. Fortified foods provide most of the vitamin D in the American diet . For example, almost all of the U. S. Other dairy products made from milk, such as cheese and ice cream, are generally not fortified. Ready- to- eat breakfast cereals often contain added vitamin D, as do some brands of orange juice, yogurt, margarine and other food products.
Both the United States and Canada mandate the fortification of infant formula with vitamin D: 4. IU/1. 00 kcal in the United States and 4.
IU/1. 00 kcal in Canada . DVs were developed by the U.
S. Food and Drug Administration to help consumers compare the nutrient contents among products within the context of a total daily diet. The DV for vitamin D is currently set at 4. IU for adults and children age 4 and older.
Food labels, however, are not required to list vitamin D content unless a food has been fortified with this nutrient. Foods providing 2. DV are considered to be high sources of a nutrient, but foods providing lower percentages of the DV also contribute to a healthful diet.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Nutrient Database Web site lists the nutrient content of many foods and provides a comprehensive list of foods containing vitamin D arranged by nutrient content and by food name. A growing number of foods are being analyzed for vitamin D content.
Simpler and faster methods to measure vitamin D in foods are needed, as are food standard reference materials with certified values for vitamin D to ensure accurate measurements . One study finds that taking into account the serum 2.
OH)D content of beef, pork, chicken, turkey, and eggs can increase the estimated levels of vitamin D in the food from two to 1. At the present time, the USDA’s Nutrient Database does not include 2.
OH)D when reporting the vitamin D content of foods. Actual vitamin D intakes in the U. S. Ultraviolet (UV) B radiation with a wavelength of 2.
D3, which in turn becomes vitamin D3 . Season, time of day, length of day, cloud cover, smog, skin melanin content, and sunscreen are among the factors that affect UV radiation exposure and vitamin D synthesis . Perhaps surprisingly, geographic latitude does not consistently predict average serum 2. OH)D levels in a population.
Ample opportunities exist to form vitamin D (and store it in the liver and fat) from exposure to sunlight during the spring, summer, and fall months even in the far north latitudes . UVB radiation does not penetrate glass, so exposure to sunshine indoors through a window does not produce vitamin D .
Sunscreens with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 8 or more appear to block vitamin D- producing UV rays, although in practice people generally do not apply sufficient amounts, cover all sun- exposed skin, or reapply sunscreen regularly . Therefore, skin likely synthesizes some vitamin D even when it is protected by sunscreen as typically applied. The factors that affect UV radiation exposure and research to date on the amount of sun exposure needed to maintain adequate vitamin D levels make it difficult to provide general guidelines. It has been suggested by some vitamin D researchers, for example, that approximately 5–3.
AM and 3 PM at least twice a week to the face, arms, legs, or back without sunscreen usually lead to sufficient vitamin D synthesis and that the moderate use of commercial tanning beds that emit 2%–6% UVB radiation is also effective . Individuals with limited sun exposure need to include good sources of vitamin D in their diet or take a supplement to achieve recommended levels of intake. Despite the importance of the sun for vitamin D synthesis, it is prudent to limit exposure of skin to sunlight . UV radiation is a carcinogen responsible for most of the estimated 1.
United States . Lifetime cumulative UV damage to skin is also largely responsible for some age- associated dryness and other cosmetic changes. The American Academy of Dermatology advises that photoprotective measures be taken, including the use of sunscreen, whenever one is exposed to the sun .
Assessment of vitamin D requirements cannot address the level of sun exposure because of these public health concerns about skin cancer, and there are no studies to determine whether UVB- induced synthesis of vitamin D can occur without increased risk of skin cancer . Vitamin D2 is manufactured by the UV irradiation of ergosterol in yeast, and vitamin D3 is manufactured by the irradiation of 7- dehydrocholesterol from lanolin and the chemical conversion of cholesterol .
The two forms have traditionally been regarded as equivalent based on their ability to cure rickets and, indeed, most steps involved in the metabolism and actions of vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 are identical. Both forms (as well as vitamin D in foods and from cutaneous synthesis) effectively raise serum 2. OH)D levels . Firm conclusions about any different effects of these two forms of vitamin D cannot be drawn. However, it appears that at nutritional doses vitamins D2 and D3 are equivalent, but at high doses vitamin D2 is less potent. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that exclusively and partially breastfed infants receive supplements of 4. IU/day of vitamin D shortly after birth and continue to receive these supplements until they are weaned and consume .
Similarly, all non- breastfed infants ingesting < 1,0. L/day of vitamin D- fortified formula or milk should receive a vitamin D supplement of 4. IU/day . AAP also recommends that older children and adolescents who do not obtain 4. IU/day through vitamin D- fortified milk and foods should take a 4. IU vitamin D supplement daily. However, this latter recommendation (issued November 2.
