http://finlen.com/history/ | T he Finlen Hotel stands on the site of the old McDermott Hotel . The McDermott , built in 1889 , was known as one of the grandest hotels in the Northwest . James T . Finlen bought the McDermott in 1902 and renamed it the Finlen Hotel . James , however , envisioned an even grander hotel located on Broadway Street in Butte , Montana . James had the hotel closed and razed in 1923 . James hired the architectural firm Shanley and Baker to design his new hotel . Shanley and Baker designed the Finlen Hotel after the Hotel Astor in New York City . The plans called for a nine - story French Second Empire building with a copper shingled roof . A local contractor , Albert Broadland , broke ground on the new building in the fall of 1923 and completed construction on New Year ’ s Day , 1924 . After spending $ 750,000 for its construction , James saw his vision become reality . The Finlen officially opened its doors in February 1924 . A 1924 newspaper article about the newly completed Finlen stated that a “ Homelike Atmosphere Will Be Ideal of Management ” . The article went on to report on the qualifications of the staff and management . Maurice Weiss , the manager of the Placer Hotel in Helena , had been hired as Manager . Jack Harris , formerly of the Rainbow in Great Falls was brought in “ to make dining a popular diversion ” . To try and retain the reputation of the McDermott , many of the staff members were given jobs in the Finlen . The McDermott Hotel had been host to many notables including Marcus Daly , William Jennings Bryan , Theodore Roosevelt , and the noted western artist Charles Russell . The Finlen Hotel continued the tradition of playing host to the famous as they came to Butte . Some of the recent notables who chose to stay at the Finlen include Charles Lindberg , Mrs . Herbert Hoover , Harry Truman , then Senator John F . Kennedy , and then Vice - President Richard Nixon . In 1948 the Hotel Finlen advertised 200 attractive rooms for $ 2.50 , as well as Montana ’ s Most Distinctive Restaurant and Cocktail Lounge . Twenty years later , the hotel advertised 185 rooms and apartments , the Cavalier Lounge , the Dining Room , and Coffee Shop . The Taras Family purchased the Finlen in 1979 and still own and operate it today . Since then a number of significant improvements have been completed , such as ; Restoration of the Hotel Lobby , Treasure State Ballroom , Copper Bowl Ballroom , and Cavalier Lounge . Other notable improvements have been made to the hotel rooms , heating plant , elevators , plumbing , and electrical . All of the visitors and guests can now experience the grandeur that is the Finlen . | [

http://finsfeed.com/the-modern-cost-of-raising-a-child-today/ | The Modern Cost of Raising a Child Today By staff | March 11 , 2017 Advertisement Any parent can easily attest that raising a child is an expensive venture , and not just in terms of money . The experience is definitely attributed to putting years on a person ’ s age , adding grey hairs to the scalp , and significant wear and tear to the family house and car . That said , most parents would also say they would n ’ t have done anything different and it was the best part of their life seeing their child born , raised and reach adulthood . However , it ’ s not cheap . shebudgets . com Throw in the costs of food , clothing , medical checks and treatment , summer camps , team sports , allowances and far more , and the cost of one child raised gets into the dozens of thousands . Add in a second or third child and it grows exponentially . And that figure does n ’ t include the added expense if parents choose to send their child through private school education versus public . Assuming a public school education , raising a child at home and with some daycare costs for two working parents , and a child living at home until age 18 , the average cost of raising a child in the U.S. right now comes in just under $ 234,000 . Now obviously there are variations ; people can come up with plenty of examples where a child was raised for far more or far less . The figure is a nationwide average which includes regional differences but assumes an aggregate expense over 17 years of life from birth to adulthood Again , the figure above does n ’ t include extra expenses . For example , the cost of supporting a child going to college is nowhere to be found in the calculations . And that can average $ 5,000 for an associate degree and anywhere from $ 12,000 to $ 50,000 or more for a four - year degree . Interestingly , the figure which is generated by research and data tracking by the U.S. Department of Agriculture is supposed to be representative of costs for a middle - income married parents family . And the figure is far more representative of expenses for the Midwest than for example , New York or California . In fact , the full range of the above figure ran from a low of $ 174,500 to as much as $ 372,200 . Of those figures the biggest expenses are paying for housing and food . Consumption for eating does n ’ t seem It ’ s important to remember , even though the cost might be shocking to parents - to - be , it ’ s a figure that is spent over time . For example , a home can seem extremely expensive , but paid for over thirty years with a mortgage it becomes manageable month to month . Budgeting is still a key factor . A family ’ s living costs definitely rise with the arrival of a new child . And there are plenty of life adjustments needed to accommodate that change . Luxury spending and discretionary purchase go down and get replaced by care for the child or children , and parents adjust accordingly . Families also generally see a rise in income over time on average as people move on to better and better jobs . However , this is a loose assumption , as many realized during the 2009 Recession , losing good income Advertisement NEXT ARTICLE | [

http://fireant.tamu.edu/controlmethods/contactinsecticides/ | Contact Insecticides Many contact insecticides which include acephate ( Orthene ® ) , carbaryl ( Sevin ® ) , fipronil ( Over ‘ N Out ® ) , pyrethrins , pyrethroids ( bifethrin , cyfluthrin , cypermethrin , deltamethrin , lambda - cyhalothin , permethrin , es - fenvalerate , tefluthrin or tralomethrin ) , and liquid fipronil or spinosad . are designed for the homeowner and are widely available in retail stores , garden centers and farm and ranch supply stores ( Wal - Mart , Lowe ’ s , Home Depot , CoOp , Tractor Supply , etc . ) A contact insecticide product is applied to the lawn and landscape surface . It is more expensive that other approaches but may provide better control in smaller areas because ants moving into treated areas are eliminated as long as the chemical is active . Apply a contact insecticide with long residual activity ( i.e. , fipronil or a pyrethroid such as bifenthrin , cypermethrin , lambdacyhalothrin or permethrin ) to turfgrass as directed ( generally every 4 to 8 weeks for most products or once per year using a granular fipronil product ) . Liquid or granular products ( best Granular fipronil products are slower - acting , but they are longer - lasting and only one treatment is permitted per year . Fipronil , a non - repellent contact insecticide that can be used with bait products , will eliminate ant colonies within 4 to 10 weeks of treatment , even those nesting well beneath the surface . However , ants migrating into treated areas may take more than a week to be eliminated . DISCLAIMER This site is intended to cover only broadcast - applied fire ant control products . Literally dozens of products are available as individual mound treatments . Contact your local Extension Agent or return to https : / / fireant . tamu . edu for more information on individual mound treatments .

http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Vaike | in : Male Characters Playable characters Fire Emblem Awakening Characters Fire Emblem 0 ( Cipher ) Characters Vaike Edit Share Vaike Names and Aliases Biological Information Game Data Game Fire Emblem Awakening First Seen Chapter 2 : Shepherds Starting Class Fighter Voice Actors English Michael Sorich Japanese Daisuke Endo [ view ] “ Mya ha ! They ' ll remember ME once I drive my axe into their . . .Wait . . .my axe ! Where ' s my axe ? ! ” — Vaike misplacing his axe in Chapter 2 is a playable character in Fire Emblem Awakening Contents show Profile Edit Vaike is a self - proclaimed rival of Chrom and a member of the Shepherds . He aspires to become " a warrior among warriors " , and is always eager to seek challengers to prove his might . He holds Chrom in a regard that is higher than that which he holds for anyone else , as the lord is the first person who has ever viewed him as an equal . Vaike ' s supports reveal that he was born and raised in a ghetto environment , where he was once notorious for leading a small band of children in the engagement of mischievous antics . His life underwent a radical change when Emmeryn paid a visit to his village , where he , touched by her words , swore to become a great fighter . In the events of Awakening , Vaike is first introduced in Chapter 2 , at the point when Lissa introduces the Robin to the rest of the Shepherds . Chrom thereafter announces that the Shepherds will be heading north to Ferox on a mission to seek their assistance in fending off the threat posed by Plegia . Along the way to Ferox , the Shepherds encounter a Risen army on an unnamed road . Vaike valiantly prepares for battle , only for him to realise that he has misplaced his axe . Fortunately , Miriel catches up with the Shepherds shortly afterwards , where she finds the axe on the ground and returns it to him , making sure to reprimand him as she does so . After the war , Vaike returns to the streets that raised him , in which he is welcomed as a hero . Personality Vaike possesses an abnormally inflated ego , a fact that is bolstered by him constantly referring to himself as Teach ( 俺様 Ore - sama , lit . The Great Me in the Japanese version ) . Often times , this ego of his is unjustified , as its constant overclouding of his judgment sees him incapable of comprehending why things never quite go the way that he envisions . Such instances include him getting confused when Sully receives more gifts from women than he does , alongside Tharja obsessing over Robin and not him . Clearly befitting the archetypal mold of the man in possession of more brawn than brains , Vaike seeks to fulfill the purpose of strengthening himself and thereafter becoming the greatest fighter in the entire world . This ambition of his is , however , offset by his forgetfulness , being considered the best at misplacing things in the army , as evident from his misplacing his weapon in Chapter 2 , alongside failing to remember to relay vital information to other members of the army . His birthday falls on December 26 .

If he marries someone who produces a daughter , then his daughter will inherit the following classes instead . Knight - Promotes to General or Great Knight Mercenary - Promotes to or Bow Knight Overall Subjective : The following part of this article is subjective to the editor ' s writing . Therefore , it may not work for everyone . Base Class Vaike plays much like a typical , possessing high HP and Strength growths , alongside a fair growth rate in Skill . As his Speed tends to remain persistently mediocre early on , Vaike can set up situations for weaker units like Donnel and Olivia to achieve easy kills for experience . These strengths are , however , offset by his abysmal Resistance growth rate , rendering him especially vulnerable to magic - based units . Vaike can directly promote into either a or a , both of which grant him access to a fairly rich skill pool . Vaike will grab Zeal early on , giving him the chance to finish off enemies in the beginning . As a Warrior , Vaike will retain the same growths stat - wise , but with higher caps . Counter is a semi - useful skill in the beginning when Vaike ' s stats are not capped , but will lose effectiveness once he has reclassed a few times . It is , however , a useful way for him to inflict more damage to enemies until Second Seals are made readily available . This skill is especially useful in the Lunatic+ difficulty , as enemies often have the Counter skill themselves , making long - range weapons such as bows the most reliable weapon to be employed in order to prevent the sustaining of heavy damage . The skill ' s usefulness is further extended to allowing Vaike to employ bows without being completely helpless in close combat . As a Hero , Vaike gains a useful skill , Sol , one that provides him much - needed relief when under heavy enemy fire . The Hero class also allows him to boost his Skill stat and eventually increase his chances of triggering critical attacks and skill activations . Vaike ' s class sets allow his children to inherit the potential to learn skills like Despoil Wrath , and Gamble if he marries . He also has good supports like Chrom , Lon ' qu , and , all of whom provide him with substantial boosts to his Skill and Speed , allowing him to kill enemies more consistently . Although Vaike does need quite a bit of support to fully expend his potential , he is , by no means , a unit to be overlooked . Reclassing Vaike ' s two reclassing sets are the and lines . Out of all his available classes , Vaike ' s stats will always grow the most exponentially when he is either a Barbarian or a . Despite the fact that Vaike ' s growth rate in Luck is not the highest , the Despoil skill from the Barbarian class can be very useful for gathering gold on higher difficulties . In addition to this , the Axefaire skill that he can learn as a allows him to transform into a very powerful tank in his base classes . Wrath Gamble are noteworthy skills for Vaike to grab as well , and are perfect candidate skills to pass on to his children . While assuming a Thief - based class , Vaike will stand to gain crucial Speed . Although Gaius Anna fare much better as a permanent respectively , Vaike will be still prove to be stronger than the two , albeit slightly slower . To this end , the Trickster class is not a suitable one for him to assume , as his low Magic growth rate , coupled with the class ' s axing of Strength in order to boost Magic , will render his resultant growths less than desirable . In spite of this , Pass Movement + 1 Acrobat are fantastic skills for Vaike to pick up for use in any class . Quotes Vaike / Awakening Quotes Possible Endings Vaike - Zero to Hero ( 貧民街の英雄 Hinmingai no Eiyū lit .

His unflinching self - assurance was the perfect medicine for the town ' s postwar squabbles , earning him the nickname " Brother Vaike .

Non - Canon Appearances Fire Emblem 0 ( Cipher ) Vaike is illustrated in the trading card game with the following cards : S02 - 003ST B08 - 014HN B08 - 015N Etymology The name Vaike is a unisex name , though it is often used as a girl ' s name . While it has no official meaning , people with this name are known to enjoy life and lack self - discipline . The latter trait might be a reference to Vaike ' s starting class as a Fighter . Vaike ' s translated Japanese name , Wyck , is a Scandinavian name meaning " from the village " . This is possibly a reference to him growing up in the slums for most of his life . Trivia Vaike ' s official artwork depicts him wielding a Tomahawk If Vaike is defeated on his turn after getting his axe back from Miriel , the dialogue between the two will still occur , even in Classic Mode Vaike uses a buffer model than most other playable characters as a Fighter , Barbarian , and Warrior . Curiously enough , his Berserker model is significantly skinnier than the hulking one boasted by NPCs and enemies , contrary to the muscular figure that both his official artwork and portrait feature him possessing . Vaike shares his Japanese voice actor , Daisuke Endo , with Yarne In a support conversation with Sully , it is revealed that Vaike knows how to wield lances and can even fight her with them , in contrast to his inability to be reclassed into a lance - wielding class . Although he has two male - only classes , Vaike does not pass down any female - exclusive classes to his potential daughters ; instead , he passes them unisex ones . He is the only male in the game for whom this is true . Along with Cordelia and Yen ' Fay , Vaike has a unique Confession Backdrop , where he is shown proposing to Robin in a Grassy Field during the Afternoon rather then in the Barracks . Before Yen ' Fay ' s inclusion as a playable unit via Spotpass , Vaike was the only Male Character that had a Unique Confession Background . Gallery Concept artwork of Vaike .

When installed as directed on our installation link the glass will never melt , burn or discolor in a fireplace or fire pit that utilizes natural gas as it ' s fuel source under normal use . ( Click here if you have propane ) Is there any clean up or maintenance required ? Never ! The glass does not create any soot , dirt or ashes ever , so even when you ’ re not using your fireplace the fireplace glass is still sparkling . Do I really need a custom burner pipe with this product ? No you do not , however we have designed double burner pipes that are custom to the size of your fire pit giving you a much more balanced flame . Also the double pipe creates a more natural look with two lines of fire working together vs . Just one line of fire which looks generic . Our double pipes produce twice the heat without increasing gas usage . The bottom line is with our double pipe you get more flame , more heat and more sparkle . What colors are available in the fire pit glass and fireplace glass product ? From what started as only 6 basic colors available back in 2002 we have expanded our collection of fire pit glass over the last decade into over 50 color choice options that can virtually coordinate with any surround or decor . Our full glass crystal collection includes : Clear Diamond Crystal , Clear Diamond Nugget , Jumbo Diamond Ice Rock , Alpine Crystal , Alpine Nugget , Jumbo Alpine Ice Rock , Pearl White Reflective , Bronze Crystal , Bronze Nugget , Bronze Reflective , Bronze Reflective Nugget , Midnight Black Crystal , Black Reflective , Platinum Reflective , Sapphire Blue Crystal , Blue Reflective , Cobalt Blue , Cobalt Blue Reflective , Electric Blue , Electric Blue Nugget , Electric Blue Reflective Nugget , Bahama Blue Crystal , Bahama Blue Nugget , Emerald Green Crystal , Green Nugget , Green I do n ’ t know which color to choose ? Most of our clients choose three or more colors and mix them up to create a custom look . For example clear black and bronze ties in any wood tones or stone ( especially granite ) and has a subtle touch of gold . If you are looking for something a little brighter you may consider clear , a hint of black for contrast and sapphire blue , this is more of an ice jewel look . That is the beauty of having so many colors to choose from you can create something custom and unique to fit your style Do I have to mix the colors ? No , some people just want one solid color ; we can accommodate custom orders of any size . What is the reflective glass ? Our reflective fire pit glass is stunning .

Not only does it look beautiful when the fire pit is lit but also when it is not as it reflects the natural light in the room , giving the fire pit an incredible sparkle even when not in use . Black Reflective Diamond Fire Glass featured in a very unique fire pit . Do I need a screen or doors on my fire pit to use fire pit glass ? No . Our fire pit glass product does not burn ; there are never any popping cinders or ashes that will be emitted from your fire pit . Most people remove the screens because they are not necessary and their rusted filthy appearance clashes with the sparkle of the fire pit glass . Doors are optional , some people remove them , and some people like to keep them to prevent pets and children from exploring in the fire pit . Does this product really produce more heat ? Yes , Our fireplace glass product produces more heat than artificial log sets and lava rocks - The heat created is comparable to a real wood fire without leaving the mess of burnt ash and soot behind to clean up . In addition the glass does not pollute the environment like a wood fire which helps preserve our natural resources . Do I need a special burner when using propane ? PanBurners are suggested for use with propane . A pan burner is strongly suggested when using propane to prevent the gas from sinking and collecting underneath the surface , this is a common hazard with propane since propane is a heavier gas then natural gas . THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT - Not using a Pan Burner with Propane could cause an explosion in your fire pit . We also suggest using an LP Converter with propane as this will mix oxygen into the gas prior to burning which helps reduce the weight of the gas and burns cleaner reducing carbon What is an LP Converter What is the difference between Fire Pit Glass Rocks and other brands ? Fire Pit Glass Rocks is known for High Quality and Great Service . First we start with the highest quality products available and a wide variety of Colors that you just wont find elsewhere . Our product is handcrafted in smaller batches than typical fire pit glass that is sold by competitors who mass produce overseas in larger quantities producing a less brilliant , scratched reflective surface that takes away from the reflective quality of the glass crystals . Our company has earned an A+ Rating with the Better Business Bureau for excellence in Service and Customer Care over the We realize we are not the only company in the Fire Pit Glass industry which makes us constantly search for new ways to improve and innovate - If you would like to suggest a way we could better serve you please submit feedback on our Contact Us page . We value your opinion . Hello , I love the look of the fire glass to replace my old gas logs but i ' m wondering why the glass kits call for a vented fireplace , when my natural gas logs are running in a fireplace that is not vented ? any info or advice would be appreciated , as i would like very much to swap out my logs for your glass ? Unfortunately the Diamond Fire Glass product is not suggested for use in non vented units due to the heat that is created from the glass crystals themselves . The heat created from our glass product is far greater than the heat that is created by ceramic log or concrete log alternatives . In addition typically logs that are used in a non vented system are specially made for that purpose and made of alternative materials that do not produce abundant heat . We just bought a burner and 125 lbs . of fireglass from you and we are installing today . I noticed that you sell propane converters but is this really necessary ? We have installed the pipe with heat resistant gas pipe tape and the flames look lovely the way it works now . Out propane tank is buried in the yard and runs several things in our home such as our stove , gas grill and now our fireplace . If we do n ’ t install what are the consequences ? The LP converter is suggested so that the propane burns cleaner , this will prevent or minimize soot or ash from developing while burning . Also propane is a heavy gas which causes it to sink and hover beneath the surface which can cause the gas to build up , collect beneath the surface and flare up . . . using the lp converter reduces this effect as it mixes air into the gas so that the gas is lighter which causes the glass to rise instead of hover beneath the surface . We strongly suggest using an LP converter FIRE SAFETY RESOURCES https : / / sparetheair . org / Stay - Informed / Particulate - Matter / Wood - Smoke . aspx https : / / sparetheair . org / Stay - Informed / Particulate - Matter / Wood - Smoke / Compliance . aspx https : / / www . nfpa . org / assets / files / pdf / grillfactsheet . pdf ( PDF 42KB ) https : / / static . hpba . org / fileadmin / factsheets / product / FS_FireplaceSafety . pdf ( PDF 2.4MB ) https : / / cbs3 . com / specialreports / Fire .

http://firstaidtrainingwinnipeg.ca/firstaid/224/h2s_alive_course_winnipeg.php | H2S Alive Course Winnipeg H2S Alive Course Kelowna H2S or hydrogen sulfide is a significant contributor in the biogeochemical cycle of sulfur on our planet H2S or hydrogen sulfide plays a central role in the Earths sulfur cycle With the absence of oxygen sulfurreducing bacteria and sulfatereducing bacteria derive energy from oxidizing organic molecules or hydrogen by reducing sulfate or elemental sulfur to hydrogen sulfide At this specific time other bacteria release Hydrogen Sulfide or H2S from amino acids that contain sulfur This contributes to the odor of flatulence and is also what causes the odor of rotten egg For example the black color of pond sludge is caused by the metal sulfides found within In eutrophic lakes or in ocean dead zones or in swamps organic matter decays under lowoxygen or hypoxic conditions In order to oxidize the organic matter sulfatereducing bacterial would use the sulfates found in the water The end result is producing hydrogen sulfide as waste Some of the hydrogen sulfide will react with metal ions in the water This reaction produces metal sulfides and these are not water soluble These metal sulfides like ferrous sulfide or FeS are often brown or black and this contributes to the dark color of sludge There are various groups of bacteria that could use hydrogen sulfide as fuel By using dissolved oxygen nitrate as oxidant or metal oxides they oxidize it to elemental sulfur or to sulfate The green sulfur bacteria and the purple sulfur bacteria use hydrogen sulfide as an electron donor in photosynthesis This ends up producing elemental sulfur This mode of photosynthesis is in truth older than the form of plants algae and cyanobacteria In these cases oxygen is released and water is used as an electron donor Interestingly enough Hydrogen Sulfide has been implicated in several mass extinctions which have occurred on Earth in the past It is believed by some that the PermianTriassic extinction event 252 million years ago might have been caused by a significant buildup of Hydrogen Sulfide or H2S in the atmosphere It was indicated that the oceans were anoxic or oxygendepleted when the organic residues from these extinction boundaries were tested These oceans had species of shallow plankton that metabolized Hydrogen Sulfide The formation of H2S can have potentially been initiated by enormous volcanic eruptions These eruptions emitted vast amounts of methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere This process warmed up the oceans that in turn lessened their capacity to absorb oxygen that would otherwise oxidize Hydrogen Sulfide The ozone layer could have been depleted and the oxygengenerating plants might have been desecrated because of the increased levels of hydrogen sulfide in the ocean This can also lead to stress In the Dead Sea and off the coast of Namibia in the Atlantic Ocean during modern times small H2S blooms have been detected Click to Download the pdf First Aid Training Winnipeg H2S Alive Training Winnipeg H2S Alive Training Kelowna H2S is most frequently found from its separation from sour gas Sour gas

The Métis lived in : Ontario Manitoba Saskatchewan Alberta British Columbia Northwest Territories The first Métis communities appeared in Ontario , particularly around the Great Lakes , and Eastern Canada . As the fur trade moved west , so did the French - Canadian fur traders . Métis settlements were located as far west as British Columbia , and as far north as the Mackenzie River in the Northwest Territories . Saskatchewan River Basin Grass River , Manitoba Water Rivers were important for transportation during the fur trade . The French - Canadian voyageurs who traveled along the rivers , set up settlements , got married and had children , giving rise to new Métis communities . The Hayes River in Manitoba was used a principle fur trade route . Lakes were also used as important routes for the fur trade . Therefore , many Métis communities were established near the Great Lakes , and many Western Canadian lakes . Hayes River , Manitoba Setting Lake , Manitoba Killarney Lake , Manitoba Pelican Lake , Manitoba Red River , Manitoba The Red River The Red River in Manitoba was used as a principle route during the western fur trade . Therefore , it played a critical role in the establishment of the Métis Nation . Many French - Canadian voyageurs made camp along the banks of the Red River . It was there that many voyageurs fell in love with local Native women and had children : the Métis . Winters were cold and deep snow fell in the Red River area . Métis communities along the Red River became known as the ‘ Red River Settlement ’ . Aerial Red River Red River Settlement Canadian Prairies Canadian Prairies Most Métis communities were located in two Canadian Prairie Provinces : Manitoba and Saskatchewan . Southern portions of Manitoba and Saskatchewan were completely flat , but rich soil made the area conducive to farming . The Prairies were known as ‘ Big Sky ’ country , because of the flat landscape and appearance of an endless horizon . Prairies , looking from the band of the Red River Prairie sunset Prairie sunset Winter on the prairies Red River Winter Winters Winters in the Canadian Prairies were harsh . The temperatures were regularly below freezing and deep snow blanketed the area . The Métis were forced to adapt to the shorter growing season and the cold weather during the winter months . Settlements and Housing On buffalo hunts and trade expeditions , the Métis camped in tipis similar to the Plains tipis . The Métis also had canvas tents that were brought over by the Europeans . For the rest of the year , the Métis lived in permanent settlements , like the one established along the Red River in Manitoba . They lived in Red River lots : farm houses that were built along the Red River . When they were not hunting , they spent their time gardening and farming . Most Métis families lived and farmed along the Red and the Assiniboine Rivers in Manitoba . Métis camp , women cooking , Harper ' s Bazaar ( 1859 ) Red River Colony Métis farm house Métis family in front of home Red River Settlement Métis log house Métis Log Houses Log houses were the most common Métis dwellings . They were basic square log cabins , made out of rounded logs with notched ends . The roofs were often flat . Mud and hay were put on the outside of the house for added insulation . Log houses in a village were usually built in a circle , with the largest building in the centre . The largest building in the village was generally used for dances and town meetings . Small Métis settlements , or villages , had around 40 - 50 log cabins .

http://firstround.com/review/radical-candor-the-surprising-secret-to-being-a-good-boss/ | Management Radical Candor — The Surprising Secret to Being a Good Boss Kim Scott co - founder of Candor , Inc . , has built her career around a simple goal : Creating bullshit - free zones where people love their work and working together . She first tried it at her own software startup . Then , as a long - time director at Google , she studied how the company ’ s leaders created an environment where the joy that people took in their work felt almost tangible . As a faculty member at Apple University , Scott learned how Apple takes a different path but is equally committed to creating the conditions where people can do the best work The good news is that Scott , now an acclaimed advisor for companies like Twitter Shyp Rolltape , and Qualtrics , has spent years distilling her experiences into some simple ideas you can use to help the people who work for you love their jobs and do great work . “ At Google , I was really curious — did creating such a great work environment require having the world ' s greatest business model ? The answer is no . Luckily , there are some things that any of us can do , even before the profits start rolling in . ” The single most important thing a boss can do , Scott has learned , is focus on guidance : giving it , receiving it , and encouraging it . Guidance , which is fundamentally just praise and criticism , is usually called “ feedback , ” but feedback is screechy and makes us want to put our hands over our ears . Guidance is something most of us long for . At First Round ' s recent CEO Summit , Scott shared a simple tool for ensuring that your team gets the right kind of guidance — a tool she calls ' radical candor . ' What Is Radical Candor ? To illustrate radical candor in action , Scott shared story about a time her boss criticized her . “ I had just joined Google and gave a presentation to the founders and the CEO about how the AdSense business was doing . I walked in feeling a little nervous , but happily the business was on fire . When we told Larry , Sergey and Eric how many publishers we had added over the previous months , Eric almost fell off his chair and asked what resources they could give us to help continue this amazing success . So . But after the meeting , Scott ’ s boss , Sheryl Sandberg , suggested they take a walk together . She talked about the things she ’ d liked about the presentation and how impressed she was with the success the team was having — yet Scott could feel a “ but ” coming . “ Finally she said , ‘ But you said um a lot . ’ And I thought , ‘ Oh , no big deal . I know , I do that . But who cared if I said um when I had the tiger by the tail ? ’ ” Sandberg pushed forward , asking whether Scott ’ s ums were the result of nervousness . She even suggested that Google could hire a speaking coach to help . Still , Scott brushed off the concern ; it did n ’ t seem like an important issue . “ Finally , Sheryl said , ‘ You know , Kim , I can tell I ' m not really getting through to you . I ' m going to have to be clearer here . When you say every third word , it makes you sound stupid . ’ ” “ Now , that got my attention ! ” Scott says . For all of us raised in a culture that preaches , “ If you ca n ’ t say something nice … " , that criticism might not sound so nice . But Scott knows now that it was the kindest thing Sandberg could have done for her . “ If she had n ' t said it just that way , I would ' ve kept blowing her off . I would n ' t have addressed the problem . And what a silly thing to let trip you up . ” ( Incidentally , she did work with that speaking coach , and kicked her habit handily . ) In the years since , Scott has worked to operationalize what it was that made Sandberg such a great boss . It sounds so simple to say that bosses need to tell employees when they ' re screwing up . But it very rarely happens . To help teach radical candor — this all - important but often neglected skill — to her own teams , Scott boiled it down to a simple framework : Picture a basic graph divided into four quadrants . If the vertical axis is caring personally and the horizontal axis is challenging directly , you want your feedback to fall in the upper right - hand quadrant . That ’ s where radical candor lies . “ The vertical axis is what I call the ‘ give a damn ’ axis , ” Scott says . “ Part of the reason Sheryl was able to say to me so bluntly , ‘ You sounded stupid , ’ was that I knew that she cared personally about me . She had done a thousand things that showed me that . ” From inviting recent New York transplant Scott to join her book group , to encouraging her to take time off to care for a sick relative , Sandberg did n ’ t just invest in her That ’ s right , the horizontal axis is what Scott calls the “ willing to piss people off ” axis . Challenging others is difficult for many people ; saying anything short of positive feels impolite . But once you become a boss , it ’ s your job to do be equally clear about what ’ s going wrong , and what ’ s going right . I would argue that criticizing your employees when they screw up is not just your job , it ' s actually your moral obligation . John Stuart Mill explains it very well . He said , ‘ The source of everything respectable in man , either as an intellectual or as a moral being , is that his errors are corrigible . ’ The whole strength and value of human judgment depends on the one property that it can be set right when it is wrong . ’ You have to tell people when you think they ' re wrong or their work is n ’ t good enough , ” Scott says . Radical candor , then , results from a combination of caring personally and challenging directly . But what does it look like in practice ? Scott has created an acronym to help people remember : HH IPP : “ Radical candor is humble , it ’ s helpful , it ’ s immediate , it ’ s in person — in private if it ’ s criticism and in public if it ’ s praise — and it does n ’ t personalize . ” That last P makes a key distinction : “ My boss did n ’ t say , ‘ You ' re stupid . ’ She said , ‘ You sounded stupid when you said u m . ’ There ' s a big difference between the two . ” Consider Your Alternatives to Make the Best Choice If you think this all sounds like a lot of work , you ’ re right . Radical candor requires you to undo the “ if you do n ’ t have anything nice to say do n ’ t say it at all ” training that ’ s been beaten into your head since you learned how to talk . This is hard But if you ’ re wondering whether it ’ s worth it , you need only consider the alternatives — the other three quadrants of that graph . If you ca n ' t offer radical candor , the second best thing you can do is be an asshole . " Now , let me be totally clear . I hate working with jerks . You ’ re not shooting for second best , ” Scott says . But when you challenge directly without caring personally , you fall into the quadrant that Scott calls ob noxious aggression . Which is bad , but better than not challenging directly . She vividly remembers her own career ’ s most memorable workplace jerk . He started out as obnoxiously aggressive — then things went from bad to worse . “ He had an advisor who was trying to help him brush up his reputation . Unfortunately , this advisor did n ' t teach him to care personally and just advocated that he quit challenging people so directly . ” As a result , this jerk rolled over into the worst possible quadrant on the graph : manipulative insincerity " Rather than starting to care personally when he challenged us , he just quit challenging us . This was much worse . Rather than asking people what they thought about things and then yelling at them harshly when he disagreed , he started doing sneaky things , " she says . " For example , he walked into a friend ’ s office , hit the speaker phone button , and ordered him to call another colleague and ask her what she thought of him . ' But do n ’ t tell her I ’ m in the “ Most of us left that kind of behavior behind in middle school . It ’ s actually pretty rare . The vast majority of management mistakes happen in the quadrant that I call ruinous empathy , ” she says . It ’ s a quadrant she ' s spent some time in herself , leading to what she describes as the worst moment of her career . “ There was this guy who was working for me . We ' ll call him Bob . I really liked Bob . The problem was that Bob was absolutely terrible at his job , ” she says . Whenever Bob would express worries about his performance , Scott would try to reassure him . But after nearly a year , she realized that Bob ’ s weak performance was impacting her whole team — and she was in danger of losing several top performers as a result . Trying to be “ nice ” to Bob , she ' “ Having never criticized Bob for 10 months because I was trying to spare his feelings , I was now sitting in front of Bob firing him . Not so nice after all , ” says Scott . “ When I told him , Bob pushed his chair back , looked at me , and said , ‘ Why did n ' t you tell me ? Why did n ’ t anyone tell me ? ’ ” Kim Scott speaking at First Round ' s recent CEO Summit . Encourage Your Whole Team to be Radically Candid Scott realized that she ' d failed Bob and encouraged the rest of her team to fail him , too . “ The kind of praise that I gave him was a fake - out , a bunch of false reassurances . I never asked Bob what he thought , because I had written him off , frankly . Worst of all , I had failed to create the kind of culture in which everyone in the company would tell Bob when he was going off the rails , ” she says . “ Not to be mean , but It was one of the biggest mistakes Scott made as a boss , and she quickly learned from it — for her own good , and to help spare future employees from the same painful situation . In the years since , she ’ s mined her vast management experience for other valuable takeaways , and arrived at the four key things that any manager can do to create an environment of meaningful guidance : Find opportunities for impromptu feedback . Again , the goal with day - to - day guidance is to to push toward radical candor . Scott urges managers to go so far as to print out the quadrant system , post it near their desks , and explain what it means to their teams . “ Get a couple of stickers , one color for praise and one color for criticism , and ask people to put stickers where they think your last interaction was on the graph , " she says . " You ' ll be surprised how clear people will be with you Make backstabbing impossible . “ This is one of the most important things you can do to foster a culture of guidance between the people who work for you , ” says Scott . But that means more than squelching obviously political or passive aggressive behavior ; bosses also need to avoid acting as well - meaning , but ultimately harmful go - betweens . Scott learned this one the hard way , too , trying to act as diplomat for two reports who could n ’ t get along . By trying to play shuttle diplomacy , I created exactly the kind of toxic political environment that I was trying to avoid . If she had it to do over , she would have insisted that these colleagues speak with each other directly about their conflict first — before involving her . Only if that route were exhausted would she have become involved , and then only with both parties present . “ I read about a leader who said he would always try to come up with the worst possible solution for both people when they came to him unable to resolve a disagreement . Because he did n ' t want to hear about it , ” Scott says . She encourages the opposite approach , though . “ The problem is that if you do n ' t genuinely try to come up with something that works for both people , then conflicts become too difficult to resolve in your organization , and people will avoid them . They Make it easier to speak truth to power . “ If you ’ re a manager of managers , you need to make sure that everyone on your team feels they can criticize their boss , ” Scott says . But she ’ s quick to note that this does not mean encouraging your team to be boss killers . Instead , she recommends putting this advice into practice with a simple meeting — commonly called a ' skip - level meeting , ' though that sounds hierarchical , so she prefers to call them ' manager guidance sessions . ' The process is straightforward : First , let your managers know that you ’ ll be scheduling a meeting with their direct reports . Get them comfortable with the idea , and make it clear that this meeting is intended to be helpful to them . Then explain the process to the reports , again making it clear that the goal of the meeting is to help their boss be a better manager — and that the meeting is not for attribution . “ In other words , I would tell the m anag er what everybody said b ut not who said it . Not because I wanted to foster secrecy , but because I wanted to help get the information out there , ” says Scott . “ If there were too many things the team did n ’ t feel comfortable saying directly to their boss , and if it was n ’ t getting better over time , that became the top thing I worked with the manager to change . ” When it comes to the nuts and bolts of the meeting , Scott has two key recommendations : Take the notes yourself — do n ’ t farm that task out — and send them to the manager in question as soon as the meeting is over . “ Taking notes yourself is a very important way to show people that you ' re listening , and to get corrections . And I would tell people that at the end of this meeting , I was going to share the document . We ' re not going to have time To prevent the meeting from devolving into a gripe session , force the team to prioritize issues . “ I would say , ‘ Changing behavior is hard ; you ca n ' t ask your boss to get a personality transplant as a result of one 45 - minute meeting . What are the one or two things you want your boss to do differently ? ’ ” says Scott . Then , arm ed with that s hort wish list , talk with the manager in question . Now it ’ s the boss ’ s turn to be specific about concrete ways that they can address the team ’ s concerns . Make sure the boss does n ’ t just communicate the action plan to the team , but over - communicates it . Then , follow up to make sure the boss actually does what he or she promised to do . “ These meetings are a way of avoiding the situation where stuff is happening down in your organization that makes your skin crawl when it comes to light , " Scott says . " You wonder , ‘ How could this have happened ? Why did n ' t I know about it ? ’ You want to learn about those things in a way that supports both the managers who are working for you and the people who are working for them . " Put your own oxygen mask on first . There ’ s a reason you hear this every time you board a plane — it ’ s good advice . “ You ca n ' t possibly give a damn about other people if you do n ' t give a damn about yourself . At one point , when I was having a very stressful period in my career , I realized that the most important thing I could do for my team was not hire great people . It was not to raise a lot of money . It was actually to take a run every morning She got pretty religious about it , running around the reservoir near her New York apartment every morning . Then one day , during a particularly difficult time at work , there was a big storm , lightning , hail and all . She thought about bailing , but quickly reconsidered and laced up her shoes . Scott had learned to take her commitments to herself as seriously as any other professional responsibility . “ There were usually hundreds of people running around the reservoir , but there was just one other nut out there that morning . As I got closer to him , I realized it was my co - founder , " she says .

http://fishasburypark.com/ | Pike fishing April 17 , 2018 Leave a comment How to tell if the food you buy is fresh In a country where over 60 % of the population is obese or overweight , we have experienced an increased concern about the daily diet in the past few years . More and more people are inclined to change their lifestyles and decide to lose weight not only to gain more self - confidence but also to improve their health and to live longer . Unfortunately , fresh and organic food is not always the cheapest option and , for those who were used to semi - prepared meals or fast food , picking fresh ingredients could prove a difficult task . Luckily , there are plenty of ways to tell if the foods and the ingredients you ’ re buying are fresh , so here are some easy - to - follow tips . Check the labels The first thing you need to do is always check the label of the food you are buying . Look for the expiration date and never choose products that are close to their expiration date unless you are cooking them right away . If you do n ’ t think you ’ re going to need the product you ’ re about to buy soon afterward , it would be best to skip it from your grocery list until the next time . Labels do n ’ t only tell you the exact expiration date of foods but also all the ingredients contained in that food . Look for preservatives and check them online to see how bad they actually are . Some of the food preservatives are carcinogenic or known to trigger allergic reactions so you should stay away from them . You should look for products with no preservatives as often as you can . These foods are healthier and fresher since they do n ’ t last more than a couple of days or weeks . Check the smell and the texture This tip mainly applies to fresh fruits , vegetables , seeds or any other wholesale foods you might be interested in buying . However , keep in mind that greener does n ’ t automatically mean fresher but mainly unmellowed . If you ’ re going to the farmer ’ s market or in regular supermarkets and wish to choose fresh fruits , vegetables , nuts or seeds , you should n ’ t be ashamed of touching and smelling each item . Anything that looks or smells unfamiliar could be a sign that the product is not fresh enough . Do n ’ t be afraid to spend a few more minutes carefully analyzing the merchandise if you want to make sure you pick the freshest ingredients . For instance , cucumbers , potatoes , onions or peppers should be Do n ’ t be afraid of imperfections The biggest misconception about food in the American households is that fruits and veggies should look perfectly sized and shaped in order to be fresh and appealing . However , this is mainly the sign of injected and artificial products . Natural and organic fruits and vegetables come in all sizes and shapes and could have minor bruises or spots on them . Read More → Pike fishing March 13 , 2017 Leave a comment 3 of the most delicious dishes you can prepare out of the pike you ’ ve caught Even though in some cultures and countries , pike is a less popular fish to eat , I personally find great pleasure in preparing some dishes out of it . That ’ s why I came up with the idea of writing an article about the three most common recipes I currently use when preparing pike . Cooking pike the right way is n ’ t particularly difficult in spite of the fact that I have noticed that some of my friends used different methods . One of my personal favorites is creating a pickle out of the pike that I have caught . While to some , this idea might seem somewhat unappealing , it really is a tasty fish and the neat thing about this cooking method is that the bones tend to get softer , which is why you wo n ’ t be forced to pick them out all of the time . In some respects , pickled For my pickled pike recipe , I use salt , water , cider or white vinegar , mustard seeds , about one third of a cup of sugar , allspice , peppercorns , bay , some onion and the peel of one lemon . I start by making the brine , which basically means is that , depending on the amount of pike I have available , I ’ ll boil some water with the salt so that it dissolves evenly . Once the salt has dissolved , I add the vinegar or the cider , the spices and the The last two recipes I ’ d like to talk about are simple , which is why anyone can prepare them , whether they ’ re experienced or not . Either you roast the pike in the oven or prepare it in a pan . You can add everything you want , but I prefer using some butter , lemon juice , and some salt and pepper . Something that I would like to add is that I usually avoid feeding my kids pike because it ’ s too complicated to handle and they have little to no patience when The BBC website , as well as many others , have various categories that go into great detail with regard to preparing pike , in general . There ’ s even a thread on a Jamie Oliver forum about the same topic . All you need to do is do a bit of research on your own , provided that you ’ re keen on eating the pike that you have caught .

The album was released in the United States by American bluegrass and Americana record label Sugar Hill Records in 1989 . The opening stanza talks about how an avid bass angler typically prepares to catch that elusive trophy , “ Up this morning / Before the sun / Fixed me some coffee and a honey bun / Jumped in my pickup / gave her the gas / I ’ m “ Bad Day Of Fishin ’ ’ by American country artist Billy Currington is part of the fourth studio album Enjoy Yourself . The song tells us how incomparable a good day is even to a rainy bad day of fishing . This is expressed in the following lyrics , “ Got up at dawn just to be out on the water / Weather man said hot and gettin ’ hotter / But he did n ’ t say nothin ‘ bout it rainin like hell ( oh well ) A bad day of fishin beats a good day of anything else ” . Yeah , nothing ever gets a diehard angler down , not even a bad day of fishing . American contemporary country music singer and actor Joshua Otis “ Josh ” Turner signed with MCA Nashville Records in 2003 . The song Backwoods Boy is on the B - side of his debut album Long Black Train . The song starts easy enough on a positive note , which is something that all hunters really feel at the start of an exciting day in the woods , “ Woke up at 5am / an ’ put on my camouflage / Wiped off my .243 and fired up my Dodge / Headed out to my ol ’ deer stand back The catchy song Fishin in the Dark by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band was released as part of the album Hold On , which came out in 1987 . It talks about how fishing can easily capture a girl ’ s heart . The chorus says it all , “ Down by the river in the full moon light / We ’ ll be fallin ’ in love in the middle of the night ” . Who says fishing and love do n ’ t mix ? January 5 , 2017 My favorite lures for catching pike When the sky shows the stars aligned just right , we get the feeding window for pike opened . At that perfect time , the pike will definitely hit any moving object in the water . It wo n ’ t even matter which bait you use . The best fishing lures for pike include the following : The Heddon Rattlin Spook Fishing Lures produce sounds that imitate fleeing baitfish in a panic . Darting and zigzagging like confused pike prey , the lure features a revolutionary sound chamber where all the attractive noise to a pike is generated . The sound chamber encases 10 tungsten Buzzbaits or BBs . This cutting - edge device comes with a sharp Mustad Triple Grip treble hook that ensures solid hook setting . The BBs amplify and intensify the sound . The special sound chamber enables easy production of smooth and easy walk - the - dog retrieves . The ultra - tough BOOYAH ® Pikee ™ Spinnerbait is precisely geared to target muskies and northern pike . Equipped with amazing durability via the super - strong Vibra - FLX .45 wire , this spinnerbait can withstand the punishment of being taken inside a mouth filled with sharp teeth . The lovely 84 - strand Silo - Tek skirt provides an amazing level of undulating action as the spinnerbait moves through the water current . The jeweler - grade plated double willow blades work nicely with the Silo - Tek skirt and Vibra - FLX wire to create plenty of enticing clattering movement and vibration that will have the pike biting in no time . This spinnerbait is designed to fight right out of the box thanks to the 12 - inch steel leader . The Blue Fox Vibrax Super Bou comes equipped with free - turning brass gear that also generates sonic rattles and vibration while rubbing against the bell . The thin , high - vibrating blades serve as a signal to entice the pike to bite . The Marabou hackle and Flash Bou fibers work together to move with undulating action to make this bait move realistically . The small sleek design comes with one hook rigging for effortless delivery over shallow cover . The larger profile body of the two - treble hook size mimics midseason mature bait to excite the The Mepps ® Double Blade Aglia ® spinners work amazingly well with Penn Battle spinning reel + an Ugly Stick like this one and are designed perfectly for trophy northern pike as well as largemouth and smallmouth bass and early season muskie . Engineered to deliver additional fash via the dual blades , this lure offers increased color intensity in the spinning dual blades even if they are of contrasting or identical hues . A unique sound is generated through the twin blades that also create greater vibration compared to just a single blade . This also ensures more buoyancy for easy fishing over weeds and other challenging water structural elements . My life December 3 , 2016 Can you listen to music while you ’ re fishing ? As a retired musician and avid fisherman it can be hard for some people to understand how I can combine my two passions together . Fishing is generally thought to be a sport that requires silence and concentration , and most anglers insist that music simply does n ’ t belong . Some experienced fishermen can even become irritated when they hear loud music drifting across the water . Over the years I ’ ve learned that the fish might not be as affected by noise as we think they are . This is not to say that I blast my favorite tunes at an ear deafening level , but I do enjoy listening to my music when I ’ m waiting for a bite . Recent studies are showing that while a sudden loud noise will cause nearby fish to immediately scatter , it also results in drawing them back in . It seems that fish are curious , and frequently swim back to the area to investigate the loud noise . While this usually applies to a rock being tossed in or a loud anchor and chain hitting the bottom , it might indicate that music is n ’ t as bothersome as it was previously thought . Since these studies are still largely inconclusive I ’ m not recommending that anglers start holding outdoor concerts by their favorite fishing holes , but if you enjoy listening to music there might not be a good reason for you to stop . Just remember the person casting nearby might not share the same taste in music . This is actually where I think a lot of the problems concerning music and fishing occur . Fishing is largely considered a relaxing sport , and for the majority of anglers this means silence . It is a time to reflect and let go of some of your worries and concerns , and for some people this is difficult if there is music playing nearby . Even if the music is at a decent level where the vibrations from the bass are not being felt it can still be disruptive to some anglers , and this is why I recommend investing in a good pair of waterproof headphones or earbuds . This also comes with disadvantages , the main one being that you wo n ’ t be able to hear what is going on around you . For some anglers this can be inconvenient , but it might still be the best way for you to listen to music without disturbing others . However if you are fishing in a truly secluded location away from everyone else , chances are you can simply turn on your portable radio and enjoy your favorite playlists while you are waiting for a bite . November 23 , 2016 Going fishing with my friends and having a good time Nothing beats a fishing expedition where you can have fun with friends and family . While it is particularly hard to convince a spouse that she might partake in such an adventure , I ’ ve seen that it works for me if we go out with the kids and take some neighbors along . No one says that while you ’ re out fishing you have to be still all the time , in that there ’ s nothing stopping you from having a picnic or organizing all sorts of activities for children . In my experience , fishing While the rods and reels are essential , as well as the lure and line weight you ’ ll be using , the fact of the matter is that sometimes , focusing on purchasing high - quality protective equipment matters even more . By this , I mean that you ought to bring along some sunscreen and pack up some hats and insect repellents . Of course , all of the equipment depends on the area you ’ ll be doing your fishing in , so I ca n ’ t possibly recommend one rod and reel combo over another . Perhaps you ’ ll be trying to catch peacock bass in Florida or target redfish in Texas . The most important thing to have in mind is that you ’ re there to relax and have a good time so that you ’ re able to get back to working feeling energized and fresh . What I like the most about my fishing trips with friends and family is that I get to explain to kids about the biology of the fish they might encounter in the area . If you ’ re a beginner , you might have to take to the internet to do a bit of research so that you find out a lot of interesting tips about the species . Some are fascinating due to their habits , whereas others simply look good because of the color of their scales . Also , if you do n ’ t want to catch and release policy The ladies can have a talk as to how they ’ ll prepare the fish when they get back home while nibbling on some sandwiches with the kids . Bringing your dog along is even more entertaining as they can get excited about fish , in general . Also , this way you ’ ll keep the kids busy by taking care of the pet . Since some species may put up a fight , you ’ ll be able to burn some calories , as well . All of this is a far better idea than driving to your local department store or supermarket and buying some unhealthy food . Plus , fish is a rather versatile type of food that you ’ ll be able to use for all sorts of dishes . Whether you intend to can it or use it in sauces or bake it , the fact of the matter is that it is one of the healthiest foods to have November 21 , 2016 The retired musician Hello , everyone ! My name is Luis Lighton , and I am now a retired musician . For more than fifty years , I was part of a spectacular string quartet , and now , when I ’ m retired , I can not help but feel a bit uneasy with all the time that ’ s left on my hands . All the years that I ’ ve spent being part of a team that made music together and cheered public all over this beautiful country have made me love the attention , the admiration and gratitude we were welcomed with . After I retired , the lack of these has definitely affected me in many ways . At times , I would feel useless and depression had begun to grow stronger in my heart . I had to invent new habits to fill the time and the void , and it was one of the most difficult struggles in my This gloomy state of mind lasted for about a year , and only became memory once I reconnected with some of my former colleagues , who left the band as well . It seems there are many of us fighting with the pains of retirement and a good way to win is to become united . We started seeing each other more and more and became a sort of goofy cluster of white - haired people running around town , bringing a little smile on the faces of the “ busy ” . Our favorite things to do are taking long weekends to go fishing , or gather up in our favorite cafe and play pool ‘ till they close . It may not be a very conventional way to spend your old days , but it surely makes us all happier . I ’ ve been thinking lately of how fortunate we are to have one another , and how other retired folks continue to have a difficult time being on their own . So I ’ ve decided to start writing on this blog about what me and my friends are doing to have fun and to help pass our days . I feel that maybe a connection with others is possible even like this , online . Maybe we can talk and share our stories and our favorite hobbies here , so that anyone interested can help themselves to new My friends are all happy that I ’ ve come up with this and are willing to contribute to this blog , and I ask of you the same . Old age is hard to spend all alone , and the younger ones in our families may not always understand what we ’ re going through . This is why I think we can try and have our own virtual family , to share our concerns and thoughts with . Of course , I may be a bit of a dreamer , but I ’ m determined to do this , and I already feel that this is giving me more to think and to do , and this is really the point I ’ m trying to make . So , as I said before , I welcome you to join in my attempt to help more people that are retired and need guidance and a friendly hand . All the best , Luis Page 1 of 1 Grid List | [

http://fishoilbenefit.net/ | Fish Oil , Omega - 3 Fatty Acids and Their Alternatives - Benefits & Facts The Story Of Fish Oil Fish oil , made from the tissue of oily fish - such as salmon , tuna , mackerel , herring , lake trout and sardines - has many health benefits . Fish oil contains important Omega - 3 fatty acids , most notably eicosapentaenoic acid ( EPA ) and decosahexaenoic acid ( DHA ) . These Omega - 3 fatty acids are believed to have health benefits ranging from reducing the risk of heart attack and coronary heart disease to combating depression , bipolar disorder and schizophrenia . Fish Oil Benefits Heart Problems The intake of the recommended amount of DHA and EPA has been shown to have many heart healthy benefits . Consumption of dietary fish or fish oil supplements can lower triglycerides - a certain type of blood fat - and increase " good " cholesterol , while slightly thinning the blood . All of these factors help reduce the risk of heart attack . Fish oil also helps to prevent dangerous abnormal heart rhythms that can cause sudden cardiac death , and strokes in people with known cardiovascular disease . In addition to the numerous benefits already mentioned for the heart , fish oil can also slow the hardening of arteries and slightly lower blood pressure - two more important factors of heart health . Inflammation Omega - 3 fatty acids are not only good for the heart ; they also help to reduce inflammation . This is perhaps one of the most valuable benefits of the Omega - 3 fatty acids found in fish oil , as inflammation is associated with many serious diseases . Heart disease cancer autoimmune diseases psoriasis , and A lzheimer ' s , for example , are characterized by increased levels of pro - inflammatory markers . Omega - 3 fatty acids from fish oil reduce inflammation by preventing production of pro - inflammatory signaling molecules . This may help to prevent serious illness associated with inflammation . Arthritis The ability of fish oil to reduce inflammation is not only good for preventing serious illnesses , such as heart disease and cancer . Fish oil is also effective in reducing the symptoms and pain of arthritis Morning stiffness and joint tenderness was shown to decrease with regular intake of fish oil supplements . Fish oil does not act as a painkiller , and it takes regular use before a difference is noticed . However , fish oil is a viable , natural way to reduce the pain and symptoms associated with arthritis if one is dedicated to the long term outcome rather than focused on immediate cessation of symptoms . Anti - aging As if the benefits of fish oil on heart health and arthritis were not enough , it is believed that fish oil also helps with anti - aging as well . Omega - 3 fatty acids slow the rate at which protective caps on the end of chromosomes shorten , thus increasing the lifespan of cells . The caps , or telomeres , are made from copied strands of DNA and prevent the chromosomes from becoming damaged . When a cell divides , its telomere gets shorter until it can get no shorter and the DNA becomes damaged . When the DNA is damaged the cell no longer divides . Omega - 3 fatty acids found in fish oil slows the deterioration of the telomeres , resulting in longer life of cells . Age - related macular degeneration - better sight Prolonging the life of cells is not the only anti - aging benefit of fish oil . Fish oil has also been shown to significantly reduce the risk of developing age - related macular degeneration . A major component of the eye ' s retina is DHA , accounting for 60 % of the fatty acids in the retina . Macular degeneration is a common cause of blindness in the elderly and has no effective treatment . Omega - 3 fatty acids help support healthy circulation and blood vessel strength , as well as naturally lowering cholesterol levels - all of which are causes of macular degeneration . Due to the benefits of fish oil , it may prove to be the first effective treatment against macular degeneration . Fish oil benefits to pregnant women and the unborn children The benefits of Omega - 3 fatty acids found in fish oil are not only for the aging or those facing serious medical issues . Fish oil has also been shown to be beneficial to pregnant women and the unborn child . It is recommended that a pregnant woman have 900 mg of fish oil per day , which is equivalent to a serving of salmon per day . The benefits to the unborn child are numerous and include : a healthier brain with increased intelligence ; good nervous system development better eyesight from retina formation ; fewer behavioral problems after birth ; and better sleeping patterns as a new born . The mother also receives benefits from her consumption of fish oil . These benefits include : a lower chance of developing preeclampsia ; a decreased chance of preterm labor ; and a greatly reduced incidence of breast cancer . With benefits such as those , all pregnant women should adhere to the recommended daily dosage of fish oil and thus increase her odds of delivering a happy and healthy child . The reason fish oil is so beneficial to the unborn child is because 70 % of a newborn ' s brain , retina and nervous system are made up of the Omega - 3 fatty acids , DHA and EPA . Therefore , increasing the amount of these fatty acids present in the mother ' s diet , and therefore being given to her unborn child , aides in the child ' s development of the brain , retina and nervous system . Benefits of fish oil to mental health Not only is fish oil beneficial to physical health , fish oil is also beneficial to mental health Alzheimer ' s is a debilitating disease causing memory loss , dementia , personality change , and eventually death . People with Alzheimer ' s have a reduced amount of a protein called LR11 , which prevents toxic " plaques - deposits " of a protein that are toxic to neurons in the brain . The Omega - 3 fatty acid , DHA , increases the production of the protein LR11 , thus decreasing the amount of toxic " plaques " and helping to prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer ' s . Fish oil and depression , bipolar disorder , and schizophrenia Fish oil does not only help prevent Alzheimer ' s . It also helps to prevent mental illnesses such as depression , bipolar disorder , and schizophrenia . Omega - 3 fatty acids help maintain the proper functioning of dopamine and serotonin signaling systems in the brain . Both dopamine and serotonin levels , and the signaling system of those hormones , are believed to contribute to the occurrence of depression , bipolar disorder and schizophrenia . Therefore , Omega - 3 fatty acids may help to regulate those hormones and lessen the symptoms of these severe mental illnesses . Fish oil Omega - 3 fatty acids and our bodies Omega - 3 fatty acids found in fish oil are extremely important to the overall health of our minds and bodies . For that reason , it is important to understand how our bodies obtain these important fatty acids . The human body can not make Omega - 3 fatty acids , and therefore is dependent on outside sources for the essential fatty acids . In all circumstances where these fatty acids are believed to be medically beneficial , we must get it through either food ( i.e. eating the recommended 2 servings of fish per week ) or through a fish oil supplement . Fish oil supplements , quality and how fish oil is manufactured If a fish oil supplement is used to obtain the essential Omega - 3 fatty acids , it is important to know how to determine the quality of the fish oil . However , in order to determine the quality , one must first understand exactly h ow fish oil is manufactured . First , the oily fish enters a processing plant and is cut into pieces . These pieces are then cooked with steam . The cooked fish is then pressed to separate the fat free solid from the liquid , which consists of oil and water . The fat free solid is processed into fish meal , which is commonly used in animal feed , while the liquid is further processed to separate the water from the oil . The separated water has solids in it and is added back into the fish meal to be used in animal feed , while the separated oil is further processed to remove impurities . Finally , anti - oxidants are added to the fish oil and the finished oil is placed in steel storage containers . Thus , fish oil is created . With an understanding of the manufacturing process , one can more easily determine the quality of the fish oil , as the quality depends on the type of fish used and the purity standards followed when refining the oil . Salmon , tuna , sardines and anchovies are the richest sources of Omega - 3 fatty acids , therefore making fish oil made from these fish the most desirable . In order to assess the purity standards followed during the refining of the fish oil , contacting the company that manufactures the fish oil is the best option . When contacting the company , a request for documentation of product verification by a third party laboratory should be requested . A company that is responsible , has done their homework , and has received good marks from third party verification should be happy to provide this information . Another indication of quality is the ratio of EPA and DHA per capsule . Many manufacturers include the milligrams of fish oil on their labels . However , less than one third of that number is actually the essential Omega - 3 fatty acids . In order to determine the quality of the fish oil and Omega - 3s then , the amounts of EPA and DHA per serving must be added . For example , a fish oil capsule that is 1,000 mg fish oil may contain 200 mg of EPA and 150 mg of DHA , meaning the capsule provides 350 mg of Omega - 3 fatty acids . Here are a few simple rules to follow in order to choose the highest quality fish oil supplement : - The fish oil must contain Omega - 3 fatty acids , not just " fish oil . " Remember , it is from the Omega - 3 fatty acids that we receive health benefits . - The supplement should list the total amount of EPA and DHA on the label . You want to get a supplement where the total of the EPA and DHA adds up to the total amount of oils in the product . If there is only 350 mg of Omega - 3 fatty acids but the capsule is 1,000 mg , what kind of oil makes up the missing 650 mg ? The closer to the overall capsule size , the better . - The oil should be pressed only from the flesh of the fish . Some supplements are pressed from heads , tails , or internal organs . You would n ' t eat these parts on a fish if you were obtaining your Omega - 3 fatty acids via the food source . Thus , you should n ' t want a supplement made out of the inedible parts of the fish either . - The fish used for the oil should be health screened and disease free . This means the manufacturer needs to know where their fish is coming from and must assess the fish before including them in their processing plant . - The fish oil should not have been molecularly distilled . Molecularly distilling oxidizes and alters the natural form of the oil . Sometimes the oil is molecularly distilled to remove toxins . However , the fish should not have been contaminated in the first place and so should not have required molecular distillation . If the fish in the supplement required molecular distillation , you have to ask how polluted the fish oil was before the distillation and decide if you really want to put that low quality of fish oil in your body . In addition to label checking to ensure quality , product contamination affects the quality level of fish oil supplements , and is a common concern . A particular concern is the presence of polychlorinated biphenyls ( PCBs ) , dioxins and heavy metals such as mercury . It is common knowledge that fish contains mercury and mercury in high levels is detrimental to health . However , recent studies failed to find detectable levels of mercury in products of fish oil that were analyzed . Additionally , significant levels of PCBs and dioxins were not found either . It is believed that mercury was not found in detectable levels because most mercury in fish is concentrated in the meat , rather than the oil . Another reason for the undetectable levels of mercury is the distillation process that the fish oil supplements undergo . This process Another important factor regarding the quality , and safety , of fish oil is whether or not the fish oil is rancid . This is a legitimate concern and one that is increasingly worrisome . Tests in 2009 showed that an alarming number of sampled fish oil capsules contained " oxidative byproducts , " which indicate that the fish oil is degrading and becoming rancid . While fish oil that is not rancid promotes heart health and numerous other health benefits , rancid fish oil has the opposite effect , actually promoting heart disease and other chronic illnesses . The reason rancid fish oil is such a concern is because fish oil begins to oxidize as soon as it is extracted from the fish . The oil then begins to go rancid within days , though the majority of labeled fish oil supplements indicates that the capsules are good for three to four years . Further , because the oil is enclosed in capsules , consumers are not able to tell whether or not the fish oil is rancid . Fortunately , there is a solution to the issue of rancid fish oil . Fortifying fish oil with anti - oxidants , especially vitamin E , prevents oxidation . It is imperative then that manufacturers use the most effective form of vitamin E - gamma and delta - rather than the less effective ( and less expensive ) alpha tocopherol . Knowing that it is highly possible for fish oil capsules purchased to go rancid very quickly , it is imperative that you ascertain the quality and safety of the fish oil that you purchase . There are some easy and effective ways to do this . Testing your fish oil capsules is an effective measure of whether or not they rancid . Bite into the capsule . It should taste fresh and slightly fishy . If it tastes bad or has an extremely fishy taste , it is rancid . Throw the entire bottle away and do not buy that To emphasize how important this is we will state this again - it is imperative never to take fish oil supplements that are rancid . The purpose of the fish oil is to better your general health and help prevent serious illness . Consuming rancid fish oil will do just the opposite . Fish oil side effects The quality of the fish oil consumed is extremely important , and now it should n ' t be quite so confusing or difficult to ensure that the highest quality is obtained . Even if the highest quality fish oil supplement is ensured , however , there are still possible side effects to consuming these supplements that one should be aware of . Generally , doses of 3 mg or fewer of fish oil supplements per day produce little to no side effects . However , fish oil does have a slight blood thinning effect - an effect that helps to explain why it is so beneficial for heart health , and an effect that is not necessarily bad in and of itself . This blood thinning effect can increase the risks of bleeding , easy bruising and nose bleeds though . This is especially important to consider if you are taking other blood thinning herbs or medication , because concurrent use of blood thinning medications or herbs may increase the risks of bleeding . The fact that fish oil causes blood thinning and thus increases the risk of bleeding , the use of fish oil supplements should be stopped prior to surgery and it is extremely important that you tell your doctor if you are taking fish oil supplements so your doctor can advise you as to the proper procedure that should be taken in preparation for surgery . Fish oil dosage High dosages of fish oil supplements increase the risk of side effects , such as bleeding , easy bruising and nose bleeds , whereas low dosages generally have little to no associated side effects . The amount of fish oil one should take depends heavily on the reasoning behind their consumption of fish oil Dosage should always be discussed with your medical doctor , and should be discusses especially if taking fish oil for a specific medical condition . However , here are some general guidelines for specific fish oil dosages : - Aging 1,000 mg twice a day - Angina 2,000 mg fish oils 3 times a day - Arrhythmia 1,000 mg 3 times a day - Asthma 1,000 mg 3 times a day - Cancer 3 capsules twice a day - Crohn ' s Disease 2,000 mg twice a day - Diabetes 2,000 mg 3 times a day - Eczema 1,000 mg 3 times a day - Gout 1,000 mg 3 times a day - Heart Disease Prevention 1,000 mg 3 times a day - High Blood Pressure 1,000 mg 3 times a day - Lupus 2,000 mg 3 times a day - Psoriasis 2,000 mg 3 times a day - Raynaud ' s disease 1,000 mg 4 times a day - Rheumatoid Arthritis 1000 mg ( 2 capsules ) containing 600 mg EPA / DHA , twice a day - Skin Health 1,000 mg a day with food - Stroke 1,000 mg 3 times a day The FDA does not have a specific recommended dosage for fish oil . However , the FDA does recommend that an average healthy person ( above the age of 5 ) should not take more than 3,000 mg of fish oil per day . The list above exceeds that recommendation in some cases , and is why the advice of a medical doctor should be followed before determining the proper dosage of fish oil when used for specific medical conditions . The World Health Organization recommends starting dosages of fish oil at 300 - 500 mg per day , as it is a good idea to start slowly in order to see how your body feels and to ensure there are no adverse side effects or allergies . While starting out slow is a good idea , it is important to note that most of the research praising the benefit of Omega - 3 fatty acids is done using dosages of 1,000 mg and up . For example , the American Heart Association recommends a daily dosage of 2,000 - 4,000 mg for high triglycerides , and a daily dosage of 1,000 mg for coronary artery disease . Additionally , some people believe extremely high dosages are effective in treating major issues like depression ( 4,000 mg ) , and lupus arthritis ( 6,000 mg ) . If fish oil is being taken for a specific medical condition that suggests a higher dosage than the recommended 3,000 mg per day , it is important to start out slow and work up to the higher dosage . When discussing fish oil dosage with your doctor be sure to bring up starting up slow and seek medical advice on the best way to slowly increase dosage until the desired amount is reached . Fish oil dosage and medical advice Varying opinions and recommendations regarding the proper dosage of fish oil makes it essential that medical advice is sought before determining and beginning any dosage , but particularly any dosage above the FDA ' s recommendation of 3,000 mg daily . Additionally , due to the blood thinning effect of fish oil supplements , anyone with a chronic blood disorder should consult a medical doctor before taking ANY dosage of fish oil . Eating fish as a source of Omega - 3 fatty acids For general health it is recommended that two 3 - ounce servings of fish are eaten per week . However , it is important to note that it is difficult to get an adequate dose of fish oil , high in Omega - 3 fatty acids , from food alone . Therefore , supplements such as capsules and chewable tablets are necessary . It sometimes occurs that someone is unable to take the capsules or chewable tablets for various reasons . Side effects of fish oil supplements These supplements are known to cause belching with an undesirable fish flavor , as well as sometimes causing an upset stomach nausea diarrhea . If these side effects are frequent and cause individual distress , liquid fish oil may be the best alternative . Liquid fish oil Liquid preparations are more expensive , in general , than capsules and tablets . However , the liquid versions are usually flavored and therefore do not carry the undesirable side effect of " fishy " belches and may be easier to swallow . Liquid fish oil preparations can give the same amounts of Omega - 3 fatty acids , and are therefore worth the cost if the capsules and tablets are for any reason intolerable . However , due to the price difference , if tablets or capsules are tolerable they are the more cost effective supplement . Liquid preparations If neither capsule or tablets or liquid fish oil works for any number of reasons , there are alternatives rich in Omega - 3 fatty acids that do not include fish oil at all . Fish oil may not have an appetizing connotation , but the health benefits are seemingly endless .   ; Fish oil alternatives Krill oil One alternative is krill oil Krill are shrimp - like crustaceans that feed on phytoplankton , and that contain Omega - 3 fatty acids as well as an antioxidant called astaxanthin . Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that protects the eyes , brain and central nervous system from free radical damage . Krill oil is often used as a substitute for fish oil , because it does not cause fishy belches or aftertastes like fish oil often does . In addition to the lack of those side effects , krill oil also contains more astaxanthin than fish oil . Krill oil is not an appropriate alternative for anyone allergic to seafood or for people with blood disorders . Side effects include loose stools , diarrhea , and indigestion . Other alternatives for fish oil are alternatives that may be best for vegetarians or for people who simply can not stand seafood of any variety for any reason . Algae , nuts and seeds One vegetarian alternative is to consume algae such as spirulina in combination with nuts or seeds . The spirulina assists the body in converting Omegal - 3 fats from the nuts or seeds , giving the same effect as fish oil Spirulina as the algae and flax seed oil is the most frequent combination , and this is a common vegetarian alternative to fish oil Flax seed oil also has other health benefits in addition to acting as a replacement for fish oil when combined with algae such as spirulina . Another combination similar to spirulina and flax seed oil is an edible wee known as purslane . Purslane Purslane is rich in Omega - 3 fatty acids , and has more Omega - 3 than other dark leafy greens such as kale , chard and spinach . Walnuts are an excellent choice for the nut option , as well , and in combination with the dark leafy greens mentioned above would make a great salad . This combination of algae or dark leafy greens and nuts is also a popular alternative due to the sustainability of using algae and plants as a supplement Black Current Oil Another popular vegetarian alternative to fish oil is Black Current Oil . Omega - 3 fatty acids ALA and Stearidonic Acid , present in Black Current Oil , are said to improve cardiovascular health and help maintain hormones that can lead to some types of depression . However , the FDA has not confirmed the claims regarding Black Current Oil . Finally , there are vegetarian fish oil replacement supplements available in some nutritional and drug stores . Seven Seas Vegetarian Omega - 3 One such replacement is Seven Seas Vegetarian Omega - 3 . While these alternatives are not as easy to find as the traditional fish oil supplements , they are available with enough investigation and are readily available at various online health retailers . As with any health regimen , proper nutrition exercise are important factors in the well being of our bodies . Adding Omega - 3 fatty acids through traditional diet of fish , fish oil supplements , or vegetarian alternatives , will further benefit overall health and harvest the fish oil benefits . With the guidance of your medical doctor , fish oil can be used to combat specific ailments and may help to ensure the long - term health of both body and mind . 14.05.2010 . 04 : 27 About Fish Oil Fish Oil ( 6 ) Benefits Of Fish Oil ( 16 ) Fatty Acids ( 2 ) Other Oils ( 9 ) Spirulina ( 4 ) Vegetarians ( 2 ) Pets ( 1 ) News ( 4 ) About ( 1 ) Benefits Buy Fish Oil !

Check out the map below for a few public access points for shore fishing . The Coho and King salmon fishing starts to get good in September in the Ferndale area with the runs moving further up into the Nooksack and Deming areas later in October . The South Fork river can be good for Coho fishing in October through November . You can access a good fishing spot off the Saxon Rd . just past the bridge . Generally , there is a strong run of Chum salmon starting in mid October and running through December in the Main and North fork . The North fork has selective gear rules and has special closures Photo – North Fork Nooksack River . Photo taken from the bridge on Mosquito Lake Rd . Popular Salmon lures include drift gear with or without bait such as eggs and sandshrimp , marabou & chenille jigs fished under a float or by twitched , spinners such as Blue Fox spinners , spoons , and fly fishing tackle and flies . As a general rule it seems that the following is true for salmon in the . These recommendations are based off personal experience fishing in the Nooksack river system . Nooksack River King salmon like a variety of large lures and baits . A few popular colors are red , orange and yellow . Large size 4 and 5 Mepps and Blue Fox spinners work well . Large tear drop spoons in brass , silver , red , and orange or any combination will also produce well . Floating roe ( salmon eggs ) or drifting and plunking can work as well . For plunking generally large spin - n - glows with a bit of yarn on the hook to help keep the line from cutting through the bait that ’ s held in the baitholder loop . Large marabou jigs can work well for Nooksack River Chinook as well . The Nooksack river gets a decent hatchery Coho , or silver salmon , run . Only fin clipped hatchery fish may be retained . They tend to like smaller lures than the kings . Popular colors are red , blue , pink , black , green , and chartreuse . Medium sized spinners like size 3 and 4 Mepps and Blue fox work well in a variety of colors . Nooksack river Coho especially like eggs . Popular methods are drifting a chunk of cured roe under a float , or bouncing the bait along the bottom with drift gear The Nooksack river generally gets a large run of native Chum salmon in the fall . All Chum salmon are non clipped native fish and can be harvested . Nooksack chum salmon are aggressive biters and hard fighters . Chum salmon especially like lures in chartreuse , purple , and pink . Other colors like red , orange and green will produce as well . Drift gear and jigs work best for Chum salmon but spinners and spoons sometimes are the key . Combining red and chartruese , purple and pink , or purple and black in a marabou jig The Nooksack river has been closed most years recently for Pink salmon , but has opened in recent years for the Pink Salmon ( also called Humpy salmon ) run . This season will differ from the Skagit river , and most others in that it will be a selective gear season and will not allow bait . From the Highway 544 bridge at Everson downstream to the mouth retention of up to 4 pink salmon per day will be allowed . Bait is prohibited , and only one single point hook may be used * ( check the regs Nooksack river steelhead are few and far between , but for the determined angler they can be found . The North Fork of the Nooksack river is usually the steelheaders best bet with the hatchery runs returning to the hatchery not far from the mouth of the north fork Nooksack river . January and February are the best months with the hatchery run coming to an end in February . Only fin clipped hatchery fish may be retained .

http://fit-juice.com/beet-juice-better-workouts-better-sex/ | You are here : Home Beet juice Beet Juice for Exercise Beet Juice for Exercise March 20 , 2014 By Mike Cernovich Beet juice is the best juice to take for exercise . In fact , beet juice is so great for exercise that elite cyclists around the world have been using it for years to make them more powerful and to improve their endurance . When you drink beet juice for exercise , some people might think you ’ re on the other kind of “ juice . ” As an added benefit : For the same reason that beet juice gives you awesome workouts , beet juice also improves erectile dysfuction and is almost as effective as Viagra . Why Beet Juice Boosts Exercise Performance The nitrates in beet juice increases vasodilation , that is , beet juice causes your blood vessels and capillaries to expand . Wider blood vessels and capillaries means you have more blood flowing into the muscle . More blood flowing into the muscle means you have better “ pumps ” in the gym as well as increased performance . In this picture my body fat is higher than it should be . I am far from ripped . Despite having a higher body fat than normal , you can clearly see vascularity in my forearms . I was not training arms that day and I do n ’ t use camera tricks like getting a huge pump and then selecting the most flattering pic . That vascularity effect was due solely to the beet juice . This is not “ broscience , ” by the way . This is real science . Go nerd out on PubMed until your eyes glaze over . Here is one recent study touting the effects of beet juice on exercise : Beetroot juice supplementation speeds O2 uptake kinetics and improves exercise tolerance during severe - intensity exercise initiated from an elevated metabolic rate Recent research has suggested that dietary nitrate ( NO3 ( - ) ) supplementation might alter the physiological responses to exercise via specific effects on type II muscle . Severe - intensity exercise initiated from an elevated metabolic rate would be expected to enhance the proportional activation of higher - order ( type II ) muscle fibers . The purpose of this study was , therefore , to test the hypothesis that , compared with placebo ( PL ) , NO3 ( - ) - rich beetroot juice ( BR ) supplementation would speed the phase II VO2 kinetics ( Dietary supplementation with NO3 ( - ) - rich BR juice speeds VO2 kinetics and enhances exercise tolerance during severe - intensity exercise when initiated from an elevated metabolic rate . Or just go try it for yourself ! ( You will also learn that anything that boosts blood flow to your muscles also gives you larger erections , as the penile muscle becomes filled with more blood . ) Beet Juice for Exercise Recipes Beet juice is very potent and the new juicer should start off slowly . Juice 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of a beet at first . Some people peel their beets to make the juice taste less earthy . I do n ’ t peel my beets before juicing them , but that ’ s merely a preference . Try it both ways and find what works best for you . Also , when you begin juicing beets for exercise you may find that your bowel movements resemble red velvet cake . Do not be alarmed . That ’ s normal . The pigments in beet juice are so strong that they ’ ll turn your poop red . 4 carrots 1 beet ( less when you are first starting off ) 2 lemons 1 / 2 ″ ginger ( If that ’ s too tart , add an apple . ) Juice them all together and enjoy . What ’ s the Best Juicer for Beet Juice ? You ’ re in luck . Beet juice is easy to make in any juicer . You can juice beets in the best budget juicer like : Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juice Extractor ( buy it here ) ; Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain ( buy it here ) . Or you can juice beets in the best juicer like one of these : Omega J8004 ( click here Omega J8005 ( click here Omega J8006 ( Omega VRT350 ( Green Star GSE - 5000 Elite Jumbo Twin Gear Juice Extractor ( Super Angel All Stainless Steel Twin Gear Juicer - 5500 ( Try beet juice for exercise for yourself and let us know how it goes !

http://fit.webmd.com/jr/food/article/cheese-tortilla-recipe | Kids ' Recipe : Cheese Tortilla In this article What You Need How to Make a Cheese Tortilla Why a Cheese Tortilla Is Healthy for You For Parents A cheese tortilla is kind of like a grilled cheese sandwich . It is warm and gooey . Ask a grown - up for help to make this healthy , fun snack What You Need 1 corn or whole wheat tortilla 1 can black beans Shredded low - fat cheese , like Monterey Jack or Mexican blend Salsa Bowl Plate 2 spoons How to Make a Cheese Tortilla Get ready . 1 ) Wash your hands . 2 ) Open the can of beans . Drain and rinse the beans . Ask a grown - up for help . 3 ) Put the beans in the bowl . 4 ) Open the bag of cheese . 5 ) Open the salsa container . Build your cheese tortilla . 6 ) Put the tortilla on a plate . 7 ) Put cheese on half of the tortilla . 8 ) Use a spoon to put black beans on the cheese . 9 ) Use a spoon to put salsa on the beans . 10 ) Put more cheese over the beans and salsa . 11 ) Fold the empty side of the tortilla over the cheese . Cook your cheese tortilla . 12 ) Put the plate in the microwave . Heat for 30 seconds . 13 ) Let the tortilla cool off before you eat it . A grown - up can cut your tortilla into smaller pieces for you . Yum ! Why a Cheese Tortilla Is Healthy for You The whole grains in the tortilla are good for your heart . Whole grains give you energy , too . The beans and cheese have protein , which helps make your muscles strong . Just like milk , cheese has calcium . Calcium makes your bones and teeth stronger . Salsa is made from vegetables , like tomatoes and peppers . Salsa has vitamins A and C that help your skin . For Parents This twist on a grilled cheese sandwich uses whole grains and beans for more fiber and protein . It ' s also easier and safer to cook because it does n ' t require the hot stove or a pan . Monitor the amount of cheese and beans your child uses to help teach him about portion sizes - - it takes less for flavor than you may think . Depending on the size of the tortilla , you ' ll need about 1 / 4 cup to make a 1 / 4 " cheese layer . It ' s OK to leave out the salsa if your child does n ' t like it . Or let your child dip the finished tortilla , cut into wedges , in the salsa rather than putting it in the tortilla . | [

http://fit.webmd.com/kids/food/slideshow/slideshow-sugar-detective | Slideshows Be a Sugar Detective : How Much Is in Your Drink ? Sugar : The Extra Ingredient in Soda You may be getting way more sugar than you think in your drink . A 20 - ounce bottle of cola can have more sugar than three really big brownies ! Sure , sugar tastes good , but too much can make you feel bad and is bad for your body . Most foods and drinks have some sugar . But sodas and other sweet drinks have extra , just like candy and desserts . So be careful what you choose to sip . If You Want a Soda , Make It a Small Do n ' t make soda the only thing you drink . Just have it once in a while , and stick with a small cup . Some drinks are big enough for two people . That means double the sugar . And that ' s not good for your body . An 8 - ounce amount - - the size of the mini cans in the supermarket – is enough . Fruit Punch Is Mostly Sugar Watch out for juice drinks like fruit punch and lemonade . They have lots of added sugar . A bottle of fruit punch can have more sugar than four chocolate glazed doughnuts . Plus it may have only 5 % or 10 % real fruit juice . Other than that , it ' s mostly water and high - fructose corn syrup - - a sugar your body does n ' t need . Instead , make your own fruity drink with sparkling water and chunks of fruit . A Little 100 % Juice Is OK If you ' re going to drink juice , 100 % fruit juice is the best kind for you because it has vitamins and nutrients that help your body . For example , 100 % orange juice has lots of vitamin C . But even though it can be healthy , 100 % juice has a lot of natural sugar , too . So do n ' t drink more than 1 cup or 8 ounces a day . Eat Fruit , Do n ' t Drink It You need fruit every day . The best way to get it ? A real piece of fruit . Eat 1 1 / 2 cups of fruit each day . How much is that ? Try eating one banana and 1 / 2 cup of strawberries . Like grapes ? Have 50 . One big , crunchy apple can also be enough fruit for a day . Smoothies Are n ' t Always Healthy Fruit blended in a cup sounds healthy - - but smoothies are n ' t always good for you . A store - bought orange sherbet smoothie has almost as much sugar as a milkshake ! For less sugar , drink smoothies made from real fruit and plain yogurt or just fruit and ice . Say no to ones made of sherbet and flavored syrups . Sports Drink = Sugar , Not Extra Energy You need sport drinks if you ' re playing sports , right ? Probably not . A popular 20 - ounce sports drink has about the same amount of sugar as a cupcake with frosting . If you ' re playing hard for more than an hour , these drinks can help replace what your body loses when you sweat a lot . But for most kids , water and orange slices are all the fuel you need . Juice Boxes Can Be Sugary A 6 - ounce pouch of one grape juice drink has 4 teaspoons of sugar - - the same as about 13 gummy bears . If you like juice boxes , drink one labeled " 100 % juice . " It ' s healthier and has vitamins . But 100 % juice has sugar too , so do n ' t have more than one box a day . Chocolate , Flavored Milk Do you like chocolate , vanilla , or strawberry milk better than plain ? A 14 - ounce bottle of chocolate milk has almost as much sugar as two scoops of vanilla ice cream . Ask your school if they have low - fat , low - sugar flavored milk . Or make your own at home that ' s better for you . Mix 1 teaspoon of chocolate syrup into a glass of milk . Water : It ' s Good for You Your parents might tell you that you need eight glasses of water a day . But depending on how old you are and how active you are , you might need less - - or more . How do you know if you ' re getting enough water ? Look in the toilet after you pee ( really ! ) . If it ' s pale yellow or clear , you ' re drinking enough water . If it ' s darker , drink more . High - Caffeine Sodas and Energy Drinks Energy drinks and some sodas have caffeine that some people use to stay awake , but they also have sugar , and lots of it ! A 20 - ounce high - caffeine , citrus - flavored soda has about the same sugar as 11 peanut butter and chocolate chip granola bars ! A 16 - ounce can of a popular energy drink has almost 13 teaspoons of sugar . What ' s in My Drink ? Read the Label . Want to know what ' s inside your drink ? If it comes in a bottle or can , look at the label . Is one of the first two ingredients sugar , corn syrup , or a long word that ends in " - ose , " like fructose ? That means it has a lot of sugar . Only have one sugary drink a day . Try working your way down to having only one a week . Those Drinks Add Up Drink a soda , juice box , sports drink , and fruity drink in a day and you ' d get as much sugar as you would eating about 38 chocolate chip cookies . Whoa ! If you drank that every day , you ' d have to burn off 62 pounds of fat each year ! Drink water , seltzer , or low - fat milk instead . 1 / 13 Reviewed by Renee A .

http://fitness2u.net.au/fitness-tests/flexibility-tests/sit-reach-tests/modified-sit-reach/ | Modified Sit & Reach Test Modified Sit & Reach Test Introduction Individuals who have trouble with flexibility should be performing a modified sit and reach test rather than the standard version . This variety is slightly easier than the original and is a great option for seniors or those who are generally less supple or stiff in nature . What is the point ? Your freedom of movement and overall posture can be greatly affected by both your hamstrings and lower back muscles , so measuring their flexibility is very important . The objective of the modified sit and reach test is still to assess the flexibility of the lower back and hamstrings , however this assessment causes less forward rotation of the pelvis which then helps to reduce the compression that is experienced in the lower back . What do you need ? A flat surface A measuring tape A box This test can be performed almost anywhere and you wo n ’ t need a partner either . How do you do the test ? Sit facing the box , having removed your shoes Place measuring tape away from box , with 0cm at the base of box / table One leg should be extended so that the knee is straight and is placed flat against the box while the other knee is bent Place the sole of the foot against ( or close to ) the inner side of the knee The hips must face directly towards the box to ensure proper form Then extend arms , one hand on top of the other so the fingertips are even and touching Reach forward slowly with the fingers and touch as far down the tape measure as possible This is done three times with the longest distance being recorded . The test should also be performed with both legs so then you can assess if one leg ’ s hamstrings has better flexibility than the other . What results you ’ ll get : Scoring is as follows Poor Below Average Average Above Average Excellent Male 4 to 6cm 7 to 10cm 11 to 14cm 14cm + Female 4 to 6cm 7 to 11cm 12 to 15cm 15cm + Make sure you also perform some warm - up exercises before doing the assessment as it will make the muscles and ligaments more elastic and help with your score . What is being measured again ? These tests measure the flexibility and strength of the hamstrings and lower back muscles . | [

How to File Form 940 Quickly & on Time To make sure your FUTA tax and other employment taxes are calculated correctly and deposited in a timely manner , we recommend using a trustworthy payroll service provider , such as ADP . Using a payroll service provider helps reduce your payroll tax risk by calculating federal , state , and local employment taxes automatically on your behalf and scheduling those payments for you . Click here for a free quote Visit ADP How FUTA Tax and Form 940 Work Under FUTA , employers pay a tax rate of 6 % on the first $ 7,000 that each employee earns . This tax is paid quarterly . Employers file Form 940 annually by January 31 showing their FUTA tax calculations and payments made in the previous year . The good news is that the amount you pay to the federal government can be reduced by the amount of unemployment taxes you pay to the state . Paying state unemployment taxes on time can reduce your FUTA taxes by as much as 5.4 % percentage points , meaning that you can end up paying a FUTA tax rate as low as 0.6 % at the federal level on the first $ 7,000 that each employee earns . Regardless of how much FUTA tax you pay , you must file your federal 940 annually to report unemployment tax payments you made to the FUTA fund . Who Has to Pay FUTA Tax Employers pay federal unemployment tax if they meet one of two tests . The first test measures the amount of wages paid during the current calendar year and the previous year . The second test measures the number of weeks employees worked for an employer during the current year . Even part - time and temporary employees count toward these tests . If you answer yes to either of the below questions , then you must pay federal unemployment tax and file a federal 940 : Wages paid test : Did you pay at least $ 1,500 or more in wages to employees in any calendar quarter during 2018 or 2017 ? Weeks of employment test : Did you have at least one employee or more working for you at least some part of a day in any 20 or more different weeks in 2018 ? However , independent contractors are not considered employees . Payments to contractors are not subject to FUTA tax and payments are reported on Form 1099 . Be aware that the IRS can audit to make sure you are classifying your workers properly . To learn more , read the FitSmallBusiness guide on the issues to consider when deciding to hire contractors vs . employees How Much FUTA Tax Your Business Has to Pay The FUTA tax rate is 6 % on the first $ 7,000 paid to each employee . Once employee ’ s wages exceed $ 7,000 , you have no further FUTA tax liability . You ’ ll also have to pay state unemployment taxes ( SUTA ) . By paying SUTA on time each quarter before FUTA taxes are due , you can reduce your FUTA tax rate to 0.6 % . This is because in all states except for “ credit reduction states , ” the federal government allows a credit of 5.4 % to offset what you pay in state unemployment taxes . This means the maximum FUTA liability for many businesses is $ 42 per employee ( $ 7,000 x 0.6 % = $ 42 ) . It does n ’ t matter what your state tax rate is ― the federal tax credit is the same . However , your SUTA tax might vary depending on your state . When the Form 940 Due Dates Are The employer ’ s annual FUTA tax return , which is IRS Form 940 , is due by January 31 of each year to report FUTA tax liability for the previous calendar year . The due date for 2018 FUTA taxes is January 31 , 2019 . However , employers can file Form 940 by February 11 , 2019 , as long as their FUTA tax liabilities are paid throughout 2018 by the quarterly payment due dates . The deadlines for filing Form 940 with the IRS by year are : Calendar Year Due Date for Filing Form 940 2017 January 31 , 2018 2018 January 31 , 2019 2019 January 31 , 2020 2020 February 1 , 2021 Calculate FUTA Taxes & File 940 Automatically If keeping track of federal 940 due dates and calculating federal unemployment tax is too confusing and stressful , try using ADP to run your payroll and calculate and file local , state , and federal taxes automatically — including FUTA . ADP ’ s trained payroll and tax specialists are also available anytime you need help . Get a free quote Run payroll online and file payroll taxes automatically with Visit ADP What the FUTA Tax Credit Reduction States Are & How It Works The federal FUTA tax rate is 6 % on the first $ 7,000 paid to each employee . That ’ s the full FUTA tax rate for all years . In some cases , the IRS permits employers to reduce their federal FUTA tax rate based on paying SUTA . This is called the credit for state unemployment tax . The credit for state unemployment tax works like this : the full federal FUTA tax rate of 6 % is reduced by 5.4 % percentage points , bringing your federal FUTA tax rate down to 0.6 % . Employers qualify for the credit for state unemployment tax as long as : Pay SUTA taxes on time : You must pay the SUTA tax by your state ’ s deadlines Pay SUTA taxes before FUTA taxes : You must pay your SUTA tax before your FUTA taxes are due Credit reduction states : Employers in certain states are not eligible for the 5.4 % reduction ; see the Credit Reduction States section below How FUTA Tax Works in Credit Reduction States Sometimes , a state borrows money federal government to pay for unemployment benefits . When a state has not yet repaid its loan to the federal government , employers are not eligible for the full 5.4 % credit . Only a reduced credit is available . Such states are called credit reduction states . Employers who have employees in a credit reduction state fill out Form 940 Schedule A in addition to their Form 940 . What the 2018 FUTA Tax Rates are in Credit Reduction States For the year 2018 , there is just one credit reduction state : the United States Virgin Islands . Employers in the Virgin Islands pay a net federal FUTA tax rate of 3 % for the year 2018 . This 3 % rate is composed of the 0.6 % standard FUTA rate plus a 2.4 % credit reduction rate . FUTA tax rates in credit reduction states for other years include : Year 2019 : Credit reduction states have not yet been announced Year 2017 : Employers in California & the Virgin Islands were subject to a credit reduction ; what this means for you is that if you paid wages in the state of California or the U.S. Virgin Islands , your net federal FUTA tax was 2.1 % , compared to 0.6 % for the rest of the U.S . 2018 FUTA Tax Rates by State for Businesses with Federal Tax Credit State 2018 FUTA Rate Maximum FUTA Tax per Employee Virgin Islands 3.0 % $ 210 Rest of the U.S . 0.6 % $ 42 How Much SUTA Tax Businesses Have to Pay SUTA refers to taxes or contributions paid into a state - level unemployment fund . These funds are held by the state to pay out unemployment benefits . Each state sets its own unemployment tax rates , so the SUTA tax rates vary from state to state . Sample 2018 SUTA Tax Rates by State State SUTA Tax Rates for Existing Business SUTA Tax Rates for a New Business California 1.5 % to 6.2 % 3.4 % ( plus 0.1 % employment training tax ) Massachusetts 0.56 % to 18.55 % 10.5 % to 11 % for nonconstruction industry 6.30 % for construction industry ( plus 0.056 % workforce training fund surcharge ) New York 0.9 % to 8.3 % 3.6 % Texas 0.36 % to 6.36 % 2.7 % States use a variety of complicated formulas to calculate each employer ’ s unemployment rate . SUTA tax varies not only by state but also by business within the state . More information on the SUTA rates in your state can be found in this guide to payroll tax rates by state For example , a common component in these formulas is the number of employees that are laid off or fired from your business who collect unemployment compensation . States often reward businesses with stable employment by assessing lower SUTA taxes on them , so the best way to reduce your SUTA taxes is to keep turnover to a minimum . If you have an employee who is not performing well , try to find out what the issue is and see if it is something that you can help with before you fire them . Maybe there is an easy fix to the problem or perhaps they need some additional training . When FUTA Taxes Are Due Employers pay their FUTA tax to the IRS either quarterly or once a year , depending on how much their total FUTA tax liability is for the year . If your FUTA tax will be $ 500 or less for the entire year , then you can pay annually . Otherwise , you pay quarterly . FUTA tax payments are also called deposits . Digging deeper , the rules for when employers deposit their FUTA tax with the IRS are : Quarterly FUTA deposits : If your FUTA tax liability for the calendar quarter is more than $ 500 , then deposit your FUTA tax by that quarter ’ s due date ; otherwise , you can defer payment to the next quarter ’ s due date ; repeat this process for each calendar quarter Annual FUTA deposits : If your FUTA tax liability for the entire year is $ 500 or less , then deposit your FUTA tax with the IRS no later than the January 31 due date ; you can pay the FUTA tax when you file your Form 940 FUTA Tax Payment Due Dates If Undeposited FUTA Tax is More Than $ 500 on : Tax Payment is Due By : March 31 , 2018 April 30 , 2018 June 30 , 2018 July 31 , 2018 September 30 , 2018 October 31 , 2018 December 31 , 2018 January 31 , 2019 March 31 , 2019 April 30 , 2019 June 30 , 2019 July 31 , 2019 September 30 , 2019 October 31 , 2019 December 31 , 2019 January 31 , 2020 Example : Let ’ s say you are a New York - based business with 10 employees . Your total FUTA taxes are $ 420 on March 31 , which is $ 42 for each employee . You do not have to submit a FUTA payment yet because your taxes are below the $ 500 minimum . Let ’ s now say by June 30 , you hire three additional employees and now have a total of $ 546 in FUTA taxes . Your payment is due on July 31 , which is the next quarterly payment due date . On July 31 , you would deposit $ 546 , which is the $ 420 accumulated from the first quarter plus the additional tax from the second quarter . When SUTA Tax Payments Are Due You will also have to meet your state ’ s reporting requirements and deadlines for SUTA tax payments and forms . For more information on what your state requirements are for SUTA , check out this guide to payroll tax rates by state How FUTA Taxes Are Paid Employers must pay their FUTA tax deposits electronically . Payments for FUTA taxes must be submitted through the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System ( EFTPS ) . You can visit EFTPS . gov to schedule payments . To use EFTPS , you will need a federal employer identification number ( EIN ) , and you will need to enroll either online or using Form 9779 In extraordinary circumstances , same - day tax wire payments can be made . Make sure in advance that your financial institution provides this service and ask about fees . To do this , you can visit EFTPS . gov and download the Same - Day Taxpayer Worksheet . Complete the first sheet , and then submit both pages to your financial institution . How to Complete Form 940 There are six primary sections of Form 940 . Below , you will find a snapshot of a sample Form 940 and a brief description of the information required for each section . If you are using a payroll software program , Form 940 will automatically be completed for you . Payroll software can also file Form 940 electronically and schedule electronic payments .

If you have a question about FUTA tax , feel free to post your question in the FitSmallBusiness forum , and we will do our best to answer your question . If I ’ m Exempt From SUTA Tax , Am I Also Exempt From FUTA Tax ? You will pay more FUTA . Wages that are exempt from state - level SUTA taxes are still taxable for federal FUTA . And those wages are not eligible for the credit for state unemployment tax . That means , wages exempt from SUTA are subject to the full 6.0 % federal FUTA rate , according to the Form 940 instructions for Line 9 . Where Can I Get a Copy of the 2018 Form 940 ? You can download a copy of the 2018 version of Form 940 and the corresponding Instructions for Form 940 from the IRS . You may also need Form 940 Schedule A to provide details if you paid SUTA taxes in more than one state and / or you paid wages in a credit reduction state . Are Wages Paid to a Spouse Exempt From FUTA ? Wages paid to a spouse are exempt from FUTA . However , these wages are still subject to income tax withholding , Social Security tax , and Medicare tax . Wages that parents pay to minor children can also be exempt from FUTA . The IRS details the special rules for family employees in chapter 3 of Publication 15 The Bottom Line As you can see , there ’ s a lot that goes into calculating the unemployment tax for both the federal and state authorities .

http://fitsmallbusiness.com/paper-shredding-services/ | Best Paper Shredding Services : Shred - it vs Iron Mountain vs ProShred By Edward Daciuk on December 21 , 2017 | Buyers Guide HR | Comments ( 15 ) Shredding services will destroy sensitive docs using mobile shredding at your site , pick up boxes from your location , or will shred at their local location if you drop paper off . These three national paper shredding services – Iron Mountain ProShred , and Shred - it – specialize in heavy duty shredding . Here we compare their pricing , services offered and customer satisfaction . Iron Mountain ProShred Shred - It On - Site ( Service brings equipment and shreds at your office ) $ 10 per box ( $ 300 minimum ) $ 85 ( 1 bin ) + $ 40 per additional bin * $ 150 per bin Off - Site ( Service picks up paper and shreds at their location ) $ 99 ( 1 bin ) + $ 40 per additional bin Not Offered $ 125 per bin Drop Off at Store Not Offered $ 20 ( under 25 lbs ) $ 30 ( 26 to 50 lbs ) $ 10 per box or bag ( $ 30 minimum ) www . IronMountain . com www . ProShred . com www . Shredit . com * Pricing may vary in some markets . Best Off - Site Shredding Service : Iron Mountain is the king of document management . With locations nationwide it ’ s usually easy to find a location near you . They have a highly secure process and great number of options to fit small business needs , especially if off - site shredding is what you need . Number of Locations : Over 1,000 ( Find a location near you Services Offered On - site shredding Yes Off - site shredding Yes Special project shredding Drop - off shredding No Media destruction Data backup Records management Security Process : Tamper - proof containers , NAID certification , Certificate of Destruction Between the 3 national competitors , Iron Mountain has the best rates for off - site shredding . This is the type of service where Iron Mountain picks up your paper in a locked bin or vault and brings it back to their location for shredding . If you ’ re just scheduling a one - time shredding , the cost is $ 99 for one 96 gallon bin and $ 40 for each additional bin of paper . Shred - It , on the other hand , charges a flat $ 125 per bin , so it can get There ’ s also a big discount if you sign up for regular monthly or bimonthly off - site shredding . The cost is $ 65 for 2 bins ( or 1 bin + 1 secure vault or console ) plus $ 16 for each additional bin or console . also has on - site paper shredding services , which is where they bring out equipment and shreds at your office . It ’ s a little more secure than off - site shredding and sometimes necessary if you need a witness present . The cost is $ 10 per box ( standard copy - size ) with a minimum charge of $ 300 . Iron Mountain has a strong A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau . However , while this may be expected for a business their size , I found a lot of negative reviews on Yelp . In particular users complained about all sorts of hidden fees they were n ’ t aware of until the bill came : administrative fees , late fees , rush job fees , carton retrieval fees , permanent withdrawal termination fees , and others . With this in mind , it ’ s probably worth a look at the fine print before signing up for regular service . Visit Iron Mountain Best On - Site Shredding Service : If you ’ re near one of their service locations has the lowest price for on - site shredding , especially for regularly scheduled service . ProShred focuses specifically on on - site shredding . ProShred also has better reviews than other competitors . Number of Locations : 27 ( Find a location near you Services Offered On - site shredding Off - site shredding No Special project shredding Drop - off shredding Small amounts Media destruction Data backup Records management Security Procedures : Locked containers , closed circuit cameras on back of trucks , NAID certified , certified and bonded customer service , Certificate of Destruction has by far the best rates for on - site shredding , which is actually the only type of paper shredding service they offer ( aside from small drop - off service ) . At $ 85 for 1 bin and $ 40 for additional bins , they cost a fraction of the price of Shred - It ( $ 150 per bin ) and can be much cheaper than Iron Mountain considering their $ 300 minimum . If you sign up for regularly scheduled service , the cost is even lower at $ 45 ( 1 bin ) + One downside , however , is that they ’ re a smaller service and they are not available in every city . ProShred has 27 locations nationwide , including New York , Los Angeles , Chicago , Houston , Dallas / Fort Worth , Philadelphia , Phoenix and more . Most major cities are covered , but you may be out of luck in a smaller city . Perhaps because they ’ re a smaller service , ProShred actually has much better reviews than their competitors . Browsing through Yelp , I found almost all positive reviews on their various locations . The only negative thing I found was somebody who lost touch with a salesperson while trying to schedule an appointment . Visit ProShred Shred - it Shred - it is larger than ProShred and smaller than Iron Mountain . They are the most expensive of the three and do n ’ t have great reviews . They are most appropriate for drop - off shredding since they are offer it and are less expensive than ProShred . : Over 170 ( Security Procedures : Tamper - proof containers , chain of custody , GPS - tracked trucks , Certificate of Destruction , NAID certification offers the whole array of paper shredding services , including off - site and on - site shredding , as well as the option to drop off paper at their office . Their pricing is on the more expensive end : Iron Mountain beats them at off - site shredding and ProShred beats them at on - site shredding . Part of the reason is that Shred - it charges a flat rate per bin – $ 150 for on - site shredding , for example . So if you had 5 bins of paper , you ’ d pay $ 600 for Shred - it compared to only $ 285 for ProShred . They do , however , offer a low cost drop - off service . At $ 10 per box or bag , you can drop off paper at one of their centers for shredding . Shred - it has a solid A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau . Like Iron Mountain , however , I found a lot of negative reviews on Yelp . Rather than hidden fees , their biggest issue seems to be reliability . A lot of users complained about Shred - it employees showing up late or canceling without notice . Visit Shred - it Other Paper Shredding Services The above services are for businesses who need to purge lots of old records . If you just need sporadic shredding or do n ’ t shred a lot you may want to go with some the other available options . Company Services Price Fedex Drop - off service , uses Iron Mountain to do actual shredding $ 0.99 per pound UPS Drop - off services , uses Iron Mountain for shredding $ 0.95 - $ 3 per pound Staples In - store shredding $ 0.99 per pound Bottom Line : Pick a Shredding Service Based On Your Specific Needs Paper shredding services vary greatly from one company to another . Whether you need on - site , off - site , or drop - off services combined with where you ’ re located will determine your best shredding company options . If you need off - site shredding or you ’ re not in one of the major cities your only option might be ( which could be through Fedex of UPS drop - off ) . If you are in a major city and want to do on - site shredding , is probably the better option . You might also just want to forego a service altogether and invest in your own shredding machine .

But not only that , zoho also allows each individual to personalize it even more , with dashboards , home page , macros for daily / repetitive tasks , mass emails etc . You also get personalized views so you can group your clients or customers and keep track of their status Well , I wish it were a little easier to set up . it ’ can be complicated to understand workflows in Zoho . I ’ m not too involved in the back end setup of the CRM , but the guys who are , are smart guys and it seems like it gives them a bit of trouble , probably not enough to outweigh the price point of the product . The support is hit or miss . sometimes it ’ s really great . but sometimes it ’ s like the tech does n ’ t know anything I wish I got a consultant to implement zoho for us . that would probably have been cheaper in the long run . who well , live and learn I guess Logan Wise December 27 , 2018 at 9 : 26 pm Zoho has developed a comprehensive suite of apps that can manage your entire business . I use the free version of Zoho Mail daily . It also integrates with Zapier ( among others ) which opens the door to 500 + additional apps . I feel that Zoho ’ s “ Operating System ” has so many options that it can be overwhelming . However , it ’ s the piece - meal model that lets you tailor Zoho to the needs of your business . The company needs to generate more awareness of its brand . As an ecommerce veteran , I rarely hear Zoho mentioned on the sales channels we participate . juan javier vega borrego 7 10 1 Screenshot December 27 , 2018 at 5 : 50 pm very simple and intuitive , has many customization options , enter information and data is easy , you can also observe your customer base and analyze it in a very simple way , In general this CRM fulfills its objective One disadvantage is trying to export all your data from Zoho CRM to Outlook . Because let ’ s face it : you can not trust your data to be 100 % secure and accessible anywhere . You should always have a backup . But the problem here is that when you export from Zoho CRM to Outlook : the data does not appear in the fields where it is supposed to be . Everything is scattered in odd fields , even the most basic information such as the address of a company or the telephone number , making everything A powerful CRM but you have to make small improvements Older Reviews » Disclaimer : Reviews on FitSmallBusiness . com are the product of independent research by our writers , researchers , and editorial team .

http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/donald-trump-is-winning-the-polls-and-losing-the-nomination/ | Aug . 11 , 2015 , at 10 : 31 AM Donald Trump Is Winning The Polls — And Losing The Nomination By Nate Silver Filed under 2016 Election Donald Trump and several of his vehicles . Scott Heppell / AP Twelve years ago , in August 2003 , Joe Lieberman led in most polls of the Democratic primary . Eight years ago , in August 2007 , Rudy Giuliani maintained a clear lead in polls of Republicans , while Hillary Clinton led in polls of the Democratic nomination contest . Four years ago , in August 2011 , Mitt Romney began with the lead in polls of Republican voters , but he would be surpassed by the end of the month by Rick Perry , the first of four Republican rivals who would at some point overtake Romney in national polling averages . Lieberman , Clinton , Giuliani and Perry , as you ’ ve probably gathered , are not the faces atop Mount Rushmore . Only Clinton came close to winning the nomination . But the problem is n ’ t just that the national polls at this stage in the race lack empirical power to predict the nomination ; it ’ s also that they describe a fiction . I do n ’ t mean to suggest that Donald Trump ’ s support in the polls is “ fake . ” I have no doubt that some people really love him or that he ’ d be the favorite if you held a national , winner - take - all Republican primary tomorrow . However , the “ election ” these polls describe They contemplate a vote today , but we ’ re currently 174 days from the Iowa caucuses . They contemplate a national primary , but states vote one at a time or in small groups . They contemplate a race with 17 candidates , but several candidates will drop out before Iowa and several more will drop out before the other states vote . They contemplate 1 a winner - take - all vote , but most states are not winner - take - all They contemplate a vote among all Republican - leaning registered voters or adults , but in fact only a small fraction of them will turn out for primaries and caucuses . This is why it ’ s exasperating that the mainstream media has become obsessed with how Trump is performing in these polls . Media : Trump ' s doing great ! Nerds : No . Those polls do n ' t mean what you think . Media : A new poll shows Trump doing great ! Proved you wrong ! — Nate Silver ( @ NateSilver538 ) August 9 , 2015 So you should ignore those national polls entirely ? In a literal sense , they do have some correlation with election outcomes : Even this far out , a candidate near the top of the polls is a somewhat better bet to win the nomination than one near the bottom . But that ’ s like projecting a major league pitcher ’ s numbers from high school stats : Sure , you ’ d rather draft a random 17 - year - old with a 2.14 ERA than another one with a 3.31 ERA if that ’ s all the information you have to go by . But that data does n ’ t reveal very much , and its predictive power Interactive : We ’ re tracking 2016 presidential primary endorsements . Check out the most important race before the actual race » In the case of presidential primaries , indicators such as endorsements and support from party elites tend to be more reliable indicators of eventual success . To the extent that you ’ re looking at polls , you should probably adjust for name recognition and the amount of media attention a candidate is receiving . And you should account for favorability numbers and second - choice preferences , since all but a few candidates will eventually drop out of the running . It ’ s possible — pretty easy , in fact — for a candidate to improve his standing in the polls while he simultaneously lowers his chance to become the nominee . Currently , the average GOP voter has a favorable view of seven Republican candidates ; being agreeable wo n ’ t help you stand out in the near term , even though the nomination is a consensus - building process in the long term What about being a jerk ? If you can make yourself the center of attention — and no candidate in modern memory has been more skilled at that than Trump — you can potentially turn the polls into a referendum on your candidacy . It ’ s possible that many GOP voters are thinking about the race in just that way now . First , they ask themselves whether they would vote for Trump ; if not , they then choose among the 16 other candidates . The neat thing about this is that you can overwhelmingly lose the majority in the referendum — 75 percent of Republicans are not voting for Trump — and yet still hold the plurality so long as the “ no ” vote is divided among a sufficient number of alternatives . Another trade - off comes from entrenching your appeal with a narrow segment of the electorate at the expense of broadening your coalition . I ’ ve seen a lot written about how Trump ’ s candidacy heralds a new type of populism . If it does , this type of populism is n ’ t actually very popular . Trump ’ s overall favorability ratings 2 are miserable , about 30 percent favorable and 60 percent unfavorable , and they have n ’ t improved ( whatever gains he ’ s made among Republicans have been offset by his declines among independents and Democrats ) . To some extent , the 30 percent may like Trump precisely because they know the 60 percent do n ’ t like him . More power to the 30 percent : I have plenty of my own issues with the political establishment . But running a campaign that caters to ( for lack of a better term ) contrarians is exactly how you ensure that you ’ ll never reach a majority . 3 At FiveThirtyEight , however , we ’ re fairly agnostic about what will happen to Trump ’ s polling in the near term . It ’ s possible that he ’ s already peaked — or that he ’ ll hold his support all the way through Iowa and New Hampshire , possibly even winning one or two early states , as similar candidates like Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich have in the past . 4 Our emphatic prediction is simply that Trump will not win the nomination . It ’ s not even clear that he ’ s trying to do so . Read more : The Bernie Sanders Surge Appears To Be Over | [

http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/every-presidents-executive-actions-in-one-chart/ | Nov . 20 , 2014 , at 1 : 41 PM Every President ’ s Executive Orders In One Chart By Dhrumil Mehta Filed under Orders From Above President Obama is due to announce an executive action Thursday , one that will change the legal status of millions of immigrants and is likely to be remembered as a major effort to change the country ’ s immigration system . The action would reportedly allow up to 4 million undocumented immigrants legal work status , and an additional 1 million protection from deportation . It would be one of the most wide - reaching executive actions in history . That has made Republicans furious . The New York Times has a good roundup of the reaction , including quotes from Sens . John Cornyn ( “ I believe his unilateral action , which is unconstitutional and illegal , will deeply harm our prospects for immigration reform ” ) and Tom Coburn ( “ The country ’ s going to go nuts , because they ’ re going to see it as a move outside the authority of the president , and it ’ s going to be a very serious situation ” ) . The spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner has called the president “ Emperor Obama , ” implying that the executive action is an unlawful decree , and Sen . Ted Cruz said on Fox News that “ t he president is behaving in an unprecedented way . ” If it ’ s unprecedented , it ’ s because of the scope of the executive action , not the executive action itself . For decades , executive orders have been a fairly common tool for U.S. presidents . We looked at data from the American Presidency Project and found that the use of executive orders peaked in the era of the New Deal ( FDR set the record ) and has been on the decline since . In the past 100 years , Democrats have used them more than Republicans . Here ’ s every president ’ s tally per year that he served in office . Of the executive orders since 1956 that addressed immigration , the most wide - reaching was President George H.W. Bush ’ s Family Fairness plan . As Danny Vinik said at the New Republic , conservatives are noting that Bush ’ s action expanded upon congressional intent , but Obama ’ s would be in defiance of it . CORRECTION ( Nov . 21 , 10 : 37 a.m. ) : A headline on an earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that the chart showed every executive action by president , when in fact it shows every executive order .

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/lionel-messi-is-impossible/ | Jul . 1 , 2014 , at 6 : 00 AM Lionel Messi Is Impossible By Benjamin Morris Filed under World Cup Ian Walton / Getty Images In their Group F World Cup match late last month , Argentina and Iran were still deadlocked after 90 minutes . With the game in stoppage time and the score tied at 0 - 0 , Lionel Messi took the ball near the right corner of the penalty area , held it for a moment , then broke left , found his seam , took his strike and curled it in from 29 yards . What was going to be a draw was now a win , and Messi had put Argentina into the Round of 16 . It was the sort of play that inspired the phrase “ Messi magic . ” But for those who only watch soccer when the World Cup rolls around , this was probably only the second ( or at most third ) goal they ’ d seen from the little man they call La Pulga ( “ The Flea ” ) . Despite having 407 career goals in club and international play ( including a record 91 in 2012 alone ) and a record four Ballon d ’ Or ( World Player of the Year ) awards , until this year ’ s tournament , Messi had n ’ t scored in a World Cup match since 2006 . Since scoring an eerily familiar goal in the 2007 Copa Del Rey , Messi has constantly been compared to Argentine great and his former national team coach Diego Maradona . Despite his young age — he turned 27 on June 24 — Messi has taken substantial criticism in Argentina and elsewhere for failing to engineer a World Cup run like that of the man with the “ Hand of God . ” To Argentina devotees , it probably does n ’ t help that during Messi ’ s tenure at FC Barcelona the club team has won two FIFA Club World Cups to go with six La Liga and three UEFA ( All - European ) championships . Perhaps this year will be different . Messi is finally having the kind of World Cup expected of him . He has scored in every game so far ( four goals overall ) , including one on a beautiful free kick against Nigeria and the aforementioned game - winner against Iran . As of this writing , FiveThirtyEight gives Messi and his compatriots a 16 percent chance of winning the tournament — second only to host nation Brazil . Even though national teams are patchwork and only play together for a handful of games each year , how Messi plays with Argentina relates to what is ultimately a fair criticism of his success : Most of it has come for FC Barcelona , a free - spending virtual all - star squad , packed with many of the world ’ s best players . 1 As the primary striker for such a juggernaut , it can be hard to detangle Messi ’ s goal - scoring prowess from Barcelona ’ s general offensive dominance . And the 2013 - 14 season has n ’ t helped : Battling minor injuries and facing competition for touches from superstar arrival Neymar , Messi ’ s most recent season was slightly below par by his standards , yet Barca finished second in La Liga . ( And in the seven games Messi missed , they went 6 - 1 . ) He still scored 41 goals , but that total was less than the 60 he scored the year before , and fewer I think this criticism is fair — and I found it intriguing enough to look into the matter myself . So I gathered and organized data , crunched it , re - crunched it , and gathered more data 2 and crunched it some more . By now I ’ ve studied nearly every aspect of Messi ’ s game , down to a touch - by - touch level : his shooting and scoring production where he shoots from how often he sets up his own shots what kind of kicks he uses to make those shots his ability to take on defenders how accurate his passes are the kind of passes he makes how often he creates scoring chances how often those chances lead to goals even how his defensive playmaking compares to other high - volume shooters And that ’ s just the stuff that made it into this article . I arrived at a conclusion that I was n ’ t really expecting or prepared for : Lionel Messi is impossible . It ’ s not possible to shoot more efficiently from outside the penalty area than many players shoot inside it . It ’ s not possible to lead the world in weak - kick goals and long - range goals . It ’ s not possible to score on unassisted plays as well as the best players in the world score on assisted ones . It ’ s not possible to lead the world ’ s forwards both in taking on defenders and in dishing the ball to others . And it ’ s certainly not possible to do most But Messi does all of this and more . Scoring I think it ’ s fair to say that goals mean more in soccer than points do in most sports . And Messi scores a lot of them . Since the end of the 2010 World Cup , Messi has been responsible for 291 goals and assists in the 201 of his games in club and national team play tracked by the sports analytics company Opta . How does that compare with other soccer stars across top leagues around the world ? ( The Opta data set includes 16,574 players and 24,904 games in both league and international play since the end of the 2010 World Cup . ) Coming in just behind Messi with 289 goals and assists since the 2010 World Cup is Cristiano Ronaldo , Messi ’ s rival from Real Madrid . When it comes to scoring , these two are n ’ t just on top of the pile , they ’ re hang - gliding somewhere way above it . Messi and Ronaldo have been compared to each other so often by sports media and fans alike that it almost feels trite to compare them again , but it can � � � t be helped . If we want to compare Messi Now let ’ s leave assists aside for a second ( much more on them later ) , and concentrate on Messi ’ s shooting . Like Ronaldo , he has an enormous number of goals , but also takes an enormous number of shots . If this were basketball , we might expect a negative ( or at least decelerating ) relationship between shot volume and shot efficiency — the more shots a player takes the less efficient he is . 3 But it turns out this is n ’ t really the case in soccer : More efficient shooters tend to take more shots . Despite this , Messi is still a trend - breaker : 4 Of the 866 players who qualified for that plot — by playing in 50 - plus games and averaging at least one shot attempt per game — Messi is the ninth - most efficient shooter overall ( Ronaldo is 173rd ) , and he ’ s by far the most efficient of anyone with a similar shot volume . The highest - volume shooter who is more efficient is Mario Gomez , the former Bayern Munich striker , who takes about two - thirds as many shots as Messi . But in soccer , unlike in basketball , shooting efficiency is n ’ t the single most important stat . Since the value of a possession in soccer is much lower , so is the cost of missing a shot ( and missed shots often have good outcomes as well ) . That said , quality shot opportunities in soccer are still a limited resource , so making the most of them is important . To generalize a bit , some of the value a shooter provides comes from taking more and better shots ( e.g. taking them closer to the goal , at a better angle , amid fewer defenders , etc . ) , and some of it comes from putting in those shots more often . For example , Messi ’ s typical regular ( non - set piece ) shot comes from 14.9 yards out , while Ronaldo ’ s average shot comes from 20.1 yards out . ESPN / TruMedia has a model for estimating the chances of a player that expectation by a greater amount than Ronaldo has . Messi scored .220 goals per shot attempt for .038 GAA per goal . Ronaldo scored .139 goals per attempt , so he had .015 GAA per goal . Here ’ s a comparison of the top 20 shot - takers overall ( regular shots in all games since the 2010 World Cup ) : In this group , Messi both takes the best shots and does the most with those attempts . If we break this down using shot - location data , it ’ s clear that Messi is highly efficient across a wide range of distances . The percentage of shots Messi makes from outside the penalty area is absolutely stunning . He scores almost as often per shot from outside the penalty area ( 12.1 percent ) as most players do inside it ( 13.1 percent ) . Of 8,335 players in our dataset who have taken at least one shot from outside the box , only 1,835 have scored from that distance at any point . There are 47 players with 50 or more attempts from outside the box without a single goal , and about 500 with at least 20 attempts and no goals . Messi leads the world with 21 goals from outside the penalty area , on just 173 shot attempts . Ronaldo takes more than twice as many shots from this distance , but still has fewer goals overall . Messi , meanwhile , scores at a remarkable rate . Adjusting for shot quality with the GAA model , Messi is running 12.6 goals above expectation ( based on shot - by - shot expectation , not the trend line in the chart ) . Ronaldo , with more than twice as many shots , ran just 5.5 goals above expectation , and no one but Messi is higher than 7.5 goals . The 21st of those outside - the - penalty - area goals was Messi ’ s extra - time winner against Iran , which came from 29 yards out ( 33 yards to where it went in ) . That goal was quintessential Messi : He got the ball on the right side of the field , held it for a few seconds , broke to the middle and — in heavy traffic — swerved it in on off his left foot . Plus he did it all without an assist . Unassisted Shooting Despite dishing a large number of assists ( more on that to come ) , Messi sometimes gets called “ selfish . ” But maybe he is n ’ t selfish enough . About 44 percent of Messi ’ s “ open ” ( non - set piece ) shots are “ individual plays , ” taken without an assist . 5 This is lower than the 46 percent of unassisted shots for players overall , but Messi scores on these shots more than 23 percent of the time , compared to all players ’ 5 percent . Additionally , he gains .089 goals above average on each unassisted shot . Ronaldo gains .023 , and the average player is slightly negative at - .004 GAA . Let ’ s look at how Messi ’ s assisted shooting compares to other players with 100 or more shots both assisted and unassisted 6 Somehow , Messi has done even better when taking it on his own than when somebody sets him up . Moreover , on unassisted shots he shoots nearly 10 percent and .044 GAA better than the next best player ( Sergio Aguero for Manchester City ) does , despite taking the fourth - most such shots of the 28 players in the group . To be clear , you could probably choose any skills for your axes and produce a similar graph . Messi can shoot it just about any which way . Here are some miscellaneous shooting stats he ’ s accrued at Barcelona : Messi loves his left foot , shooting with it 78 percent of the time , and scoring 23 percent . But do n ’ t sleep on his right foot : When he uses it , he scores 23 percent of the time . He shoots slightly below average on ( a limited number of ) headers ( 10 percent vs . 13 percent ) . About 8 percent of his shots are “ weak ” kicks ( compared to 6 percent for all players in the data set ) , but he makes 27 percent of them , and does so more often than we ’ d expect . He has an average GAA of .026 on those kicks ( all players : 5 percent shooting on weak kicks with - .055 GAA ) . Only 5 percent of his kicks are “ strong ” ones ( compared to 8 percent for all players ) , but those kicks score 36 percent of the time About 12 percent of his shots have “ swerve ” on them ( compared to 10 percent for all players ) ; 31 percent of those swervy kicks score , for a huge .202 GAA ( all players : 8 percent , .020 GAA ) . On direct free kicks ( like the one he scored on against Nigeria ) , Messi has scored about 8 percent of the time ( compared to all players ’ 5 percent ) , with .021 GAA per shot ( Ronaldo has scored on 7 percent with an identical .021 GAA ) . 7 Messi has scored on 86 percent of his penalty kicks , versus an average of 77 percent for all players . But put one check - mark in Ronaldo ’ s column , as he has scored on 93 percent of his penalty attempts . Since both are the primary PK - takers for both their club and national teams , this difference — if it held up in the long run — would be worth about three - quarters of a goal per year . To make all those unassisted shots possible , Messi has to take on a lot of defenders one on one . There ’ s a stat for that , and in my view it ’ s one of the most revealing , reflecting both Messi ’ s skill and style , and the relationship between the two . Of all forwards in our data set who ’ ve played 100 - plus games , he “ takes on ” defenders the most , and he ’ s the most successful at it . The only forward who takes on defenders nearly as aggressively as Messi is Luis Suarez , the Uruguayan striker for Liverpool who is perhaps too aggressive for his own good ( ahem ) . Suarez is successful less than 35 percent of the time . This may help explain how Messi gets so many better shots , and why his “ unassisted ” shots are so good . It also points to the main stylistic difference between Messi and Ronaldo : Ronaldo takes more mid - range shots but misses a lot of them ; Messi tries to beat a lot more defenders , loses sometimes , and then makes up for it ( and then some ) by having better assisting and shooting opportunities as a result . That ’ s not to say one approach is better than the other , but note Passing and Assists From the above , you might think Messi is a selfish player . Or you might assume that if Messi is so good at shooting , he ’ d focus on it to the exclusion of other skills . But , in true Wayne Gretzky - esque fashion , Messi is also one of the top assisters in our data set . Once again , that makes him a crazy outlier : No one else ( aside from , yes , Ronaldo ) even comes close to his combination of goals scored versus goals dished . Not only is Messi the top game - by - game goal - scorer of the last four years , he ’ s the third - most productive distributor of assists , despite being the primary scorer on his own team ! Only Mesut Ozil and Franck Ribery 8 earned more assists than Messi , and Ozil did it on Real Madrid 9 — setting up Cristiano Ronaldo . But how does he do it ? The biggest obstacle to evaluating Messi ’ s passing ability is accounting for the fact that he plays for the most pass - happy team in the world . Watching Barcelona can be a bit like watching a playground game of keep away . Barcelona ’ s players are infamous for their “ tiki - taka ” style of play , which relies on an enormous amount of short , high percentage passing . Above all else , they try to maintain possession of the ball until a chance opens up . This sounds like a great strategy , but there ’ s a reason it is n ’ t employed universally : To make it work , a team has to be stocked with amazing passers , and it has to have strikers capable of creating chances against set defenses . 10 Messi is both of those things . And what ’ s more , his passing profile is nothing like the other Barcelona forwards , who typically send 72 percent of their passes back or square . Messi is far more likely to try to advance the ball toward the goal , and far more likely to succeed : Messi makes more passes than the other forwards , with a higher percentage of those passes trying to advance the ball toward the goal , and a higher percentage of those passes finding their targets ( typical Messi ! ) . His 3,800 - plus completed forward passes are nearly twice as many as any forward in our data set ( Francesco Totti for FC Roma has 2,200 , followed by Wayne Rooney , the English striker , with 1,800 and Ronaldo with 1,500 ) . One measure of the quality of a group of passes is how many are completed successfully , but it also matters what happens when those passes get where they ’ re going . It does n ’ t help if a player passes 60 yards to someone swarmed with defenders . So a useful metric ( made possible by play - by - play data ) is the percentage of a player ’ s passes that lead to “ successful ” plays on the other end — meaning the receiving player manages to get off a shot , or passes As it turns out , not only does Messi pass the ball forward aggressively , he does so accurately , and the balls he delivers are “ successful ” a very high percentage of the time . For example , let ’ s look at Messi ’ s long ball forward passes from the midfield area . I ’ ve created a scatter comparing each player ’ s completion percentage for these passes to the percentage of them that are “ successful , ” and I ’ ve shown the volume of long pass attempts for each player as bubble sizes : Messi is among the most accurate passers for both metrics , and no one with as many attempts is more accurate . 11 There are players who complete a higher percentage of these passes and / or are more “ successful ” with them , but they ’ re typically being more selective in their attempts . For example , Ronaldo ’ s “ success ” rate of 60 percent beats Messi ’ s 54 percent ( with a slightly lower completion percentage ) , but Ronaldo has only 35 successful long ball passes to Messi ’ s 81 . Given that , it ’ s no surprise that Messi excels at the through - ball , the delicate and gorgeous play that requires perfect circumstances and perfect timing to be successful . Messi attempts almost twice as many of these passes as any other forward , and still manages to beat the trend . And then there ’ s the bread and butter of aggressive passing : moving it toward the goal on the opponent ’ s side of the field . In attacking territory , no one attacks as often as Messi does , and no one has more success doing so . These passes are where most assists come from , and indeed , Messi has the most assists per game from these kinds of passes of any forward , by a large margin . And again , despite making twice as many attempts as most people , he beats expectations . Touch by Touch By this point , it should be evident that Messi has at least a little bit of skill . But there ’ s still heavy lifting to do : We have to show that he actually makes his team better . First , to ensure that we ’ re celebrating the greatness of Messi and not the greatness of Barcelona , we need to make sense of Messi on Barcelona . The easiest way to do that is to evaluate Barcelona without Messi , also known as the Spanish national team . The contrast between Spain in 2010 and Spain in 2014 seems huge : The 2010 team won the World Cup , and the 2014 team was tied for first in the tournament to be mathematically eliminated . But lost in this narrative is that the 2010 championship team was n ’ t all that great , at least on offense . That World Cup team scored fewer goals per game than this year ’ s : only eight goals in seven games in 2010 , while this year ’ s group - stage dropouts scored four goals in three . Perhaps that ’ s an unfair comparison to make — but it ’ s consistent with the theory that Barcelona ’ s “ play keep away until lightning strikes ” offense really only works when it has Messi as its striker . Between Messi ’ s shots taken and chances created , he is responsible for about 48 percent of Barcelona ’ s regular ( non - penalty , non - set play ) shot attempts . Yet he and the players he assists score about 60 percent of Barca ’ s goals . In fact , the more involved Messi is in a shot attempt , the more likely his team is to score . He has scored on 22.1 percent of his regular ( non - set , non - penalty , non - shootout ) shots for Barca himself . The people to whom he ’ s dished assists and chances have scored on 18.1 percent of their shots . Meanwhile , Barcelona shots that did n ’ t come from Messi ’ s foot 12 or Messi ’ s passing scored just 12.5 percent of the time . Even though Barcelona is one of the best teams in the world , there ’ s a huge difference between when Messi is involved in creating shots and chances and when he is n ’ t . Here are the equivalent differences for all players since 2010 with more than 100 games played and four or more shots or assist chances per game : Of course , these are raw shooting percentages and do n ’ t account for the types of shots each player is taking or assisting , or the number of attempts . It ’ s generally harder to stay valuable over a larger number of shots , and we have n ’ t yet factored in that difficulty . For that , we turn back to the goals above average model , which compares each shot or chance outcome with its expectation . From this , we can tell whether a player has exceeded expectations for all of his shot attempts and chances created . Then we can do the same for all shots taken by his team without the player ’ s involvement , and compare the two . For example , if the player scored .02 goals above expectation per shot attempt , and the rest of his team scored - .01 goals less than expectation , 13 total offensive participation ( the percentage of team shots he ’ s involved with ) : Finally , after however many charts , we see a diminishing return . At least for everyone not named Lionel Messi . He once again tops the field , impervious to the burden . But that ’ s just what happens once the shots are lined up . If we want to explore a player ’ s efficiency , we have to look into his touches more deeply . For this purpose , I created a stat called “ possessions used . ” It ’ s a little bit analogous to usage rate in basketball , and incorporates the number of touches in which a player : Takes a shot ; Passes the ball to a player who takes a shot ; Turns the ball over ; Tries to pass the ball and fails ; Tries to take on a defender and fails . In other words , it ’ s a stat meant to reflect anything that ends a team ’ s possession , whether that outcome is positive or negative . Events that simply prolong the possession ( taking on a defender and succeeding , or passing the ball to another teammate who does not take a shot ) are n ’ t factored in . Obviously passing the ball is an important skill ( which I covered a bit above ) , but for this metric I just want to know about the relative likelihood of good outcomes ( goals , assists ) to bad ones ( misses , turnovers , etc . ) when the player does something possession - ending . 14 Looking at players who “ use ” more than 15 possessions per game , we can plot possessions used against scoring and assists like so : Cutting out all the passing that does n ’ t end in a shot , Messi generates the most points per touch of any player with a similar usage rate . But there are a couple of other important things to notice in this graph : Despite not taking as many shots , Messi uses more possessions per game than Ronaldo does . This is generally because Messi is much more likely to take on defenders , and thus is much more likely to lose possession of the ball or turn it over entirely . ( He is also relatively Importantly , turnovers in soccer are n ’ t as big of a deal as they are in basketball or American football . Shots , even bad ones , are more of a limited resource in soccer than possessions . Risking a turnover to increase your chances of scoring a goal even by a small amount can be worth it . Finally , Messi ’ s defense is consistent with that of a high - volume striker . 15 That he ’ s practically munchkin - sized ( he ’ s only 1.69 met — ahem , excuse me — 5 ’ 7 ” tall ) seems not to matter . To look at Messi ’ s defensive skill , I combined successful tackles , 16 interceptions and blocked shots , then adjusted for number of opponent possessions ( as I did with offense above ) . There are a few lines where Messi ’ s stats are considerably worse than his peers ’ ( meaning Ronaldo ’ s ) : He does n ’ t get a lot of clearances — although this is partly style , as Messi is more willing to pass out of defensive territory ( or even take on defenders ) . And he does n ’ t go for ( or succeed at ) a lot of aerials ( 50 - 50 balls in the air ) . While I have n ’ t studied this aspect of his game in Conclusion How should Argentina fans feel about all this , given the disappointment they ’ ve experienced in World Cups past and the hopes they ’ ve pinned on Messi this year ? So far in the 2014 tournament , Messi has been erasing whatever gap there was between his Barcelona stats and his Argentina stats , with style . And that gap was never really as big as it appeared . Since the 2010 World Cup , Messi has scored 19 goals and six assists for Argentina in 22 games ( .9 goals per game and .3 assists per game , compared to 1.1 and .4 for Barca ) . For shooting / assisting efficiency , he has scored .199 GAA per game for Argentina versus .262 for Barca . He also has better defensive stats for Argentina , so even if there are persistent differences , it ’ s quite possible it has to do with style and Messi ’ s role on each team rather than the quality of And 22 games is a tiny sample . Even so , these stats are perfectly consistent with the argument that Messi is the best footballer on earth : That .199 GAA is better than the .175 GAA per game that Ronaldo has earned at Real Madrid since 2010 . This is what that .199 GAA looks like : In other words , if Barca - Messi and Argentina - Messi were two different people , even based solely on the stats recorded since 2010 , there ’ s a good chance they ’ d be the two best players in the world . One of them is playing on Tuesday . CORRECTION ( July 1 , 12 : 32 p.m. ) : The axes in an earlier version of the chart on through - balls above misstated what they measured . The chart shows attempted through - balls and through - ball assists , not attempted and successful assists . CORRECTION ( July 1 , 1 : 06 p.m. ) : This article originally misstated that Cristiano Ronaldo had 289 goals since the 2010 World Cup . He had 230 goals , and 59 assists in that time , for 289 combined goals and assists . CORRECTION ( July 7 , 7 : 29 a.m. ) : An earlier version of this article also incorrectly said that Ronaldo had 41 successful long ball passes when in fact he had 35 . | [

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-some-tennis-matches-take-forever/ | Jun . 6 , 2015 , at 6 : 00 AM Why Some Tennis Matches Take Forever By Carl Bialik Filed under Tick Tock Get the data on GitHub Rafael Nadal takes a break and a towel as he plays Novak Djokovic in the 2014 French Open . Thibault Camus / AP Nine - time French Open champ Rafael Nadal is one of the slowest players of the last 25 years . Roger Federer is faster than average . Novak Djokovic is slower than average — but has gotten faster . Andy Murray , on the other hand , has slowed down . I ’ m not talking about foot speed , or about the speed of the ball off the racket . I ’ m talking about how long it takes to play a point of tennis . Like baseball , tennis is n ’ t bound by a clock , but it does keep time . A match is n ’ t over until one player wins two sets or three . And who the players are goes a long way to deciding how long it takes to go from start to finish . The topic has been especially urgent at this year ’ s French Open , which lacks a roof and floodlights and must squeeze in play between darkness and rain . If Djokovic and Murray played slightly faster , they might have finished their semifinal Friday . Instead the match was suspended at 3 - 3 in the fourth set because of an imminent storm at around 8 : 30 p.m. local time . That will force the winner of the match to play three days in a row , which could be a disadvantage in the final . For an illustration of how much pace matters , consider two four - set matches that finished Monday in Paris . Speedy Roger Federer finished off relatively fast Gael Monfils in two hours and 12 minutes , taking 36 seconds per point . Rafael Nadal ’ s defeat of Jack Sock , on the other hand , required two fewer points but 41 more minutes ; it took 47 seconds per point . All those seconds add up fast . 1 Before just about every serve , Nadal went through most parts of his usual ritual : He cleaned the baseline with his foot , tapped his shoes with his racket to knock the clay off , rejected one of the three balls he was offered , bounced one of the others with his racket while with his right hand he picked at the back of his shorts , dried his face and the area behind his ears , rubbed his hand on his shirt , rocked back and forth — and served . When he missed the first serve , Players are allowed no more than 20 seconds between serves at Grand Slams 2 ; if they exceed that threshold twice and are called for it , they lose a first serve . Some players stretch and shrink the time as a tactic to rest or throw off opponents . Over several games and sets , slower play can add 15 minutes or more to a match , throwing off television schedules and testing the patience of fans . It matters enough to the ATP , which runs the men ’ s tour , that it cracked down on slow play two years ago by enforcing the rules more strictly . Then again , thrilling long rallies take longer and create longer breaks in between , so a slowdown could be a good sign for the sport . I ’ ve studied the question of what determines the length of a match before , using Little Data : stopwatching the time between a few hundred points , correlating with rally length and other factors . But now we have easy access to big data in tennis . Analyst Jeff Sackmann has posted to GitHub match stats for the last 25 years of the men ’ s tour . ( Match stats for the women ’ s tour are n ’ t available . 3 ) There are nearly 25 years of matches in there — 71,027 in all , 4 and enough variables for us to tease out which factors have the biggest effect on how long matches take . Like I did last year with baseball games , I ran a regression to see how each of a match ’ s building blocks affects how long it takes , per point . 5 We ’ ve uploaded part of my findings on Github for all to see . In the early 1990s , the era in which Pete Sampras served - and - volleyed to success and Andre Agassi rushed from one side of the court to the other between serves , the game sped up . Then , starting in the late 1990s , as play shifted to baseline battles , it slowed down — until 2012 , when the average point took 4.6 seconds longer than in 1991 , all else equal . That does n ’ t sound like much , but it amounts to 19 extra minutes over 250 points , a typical number In 2012 , the five - set Australian Open final between Nadal and Djokovic took five hours and 53 minutes , and raised cries for the game to speed up . The next year , the ATP answered by encouraging umpires to call time violations more strictly — and it appears to have worked . That year play sped up by 2.6 seconds per point , and it has remained roughly at that level since . Surface matters , too . The four fastest tournaments were on grass — with Wimbledon the fastest . The 11 slowest were on clay . Grass encourages the fastest rallies in the sport , which take less time and require less recovery . Clay is at the other extreme . 6 But some players matter just as much as the year or surface . The difference between Dustin Brown , the fastest player with at least 50 matches , and Nicolas Massu , the slowest , is 12.6 seconds per point — bigger than the difference between the slowest and fastest years , or slowest and fastest tournaments . 7 We ’ ve posted pace estimates for 218 players and for 205 events on GitHub This analysis is n ’ t only about how much time players take between points . The official stats do n ’ t break out that number . A player can affect the pace of play both by how much time he takes between points — mainly when serving — and how much time it takes him to play a point . Players who are fast between points but engage in epic rallies during them — such as Monfils — do n ’ t show up as outliers . Nadal , meanwhile , is slow between points and also plays To check what I was capturing , I went back to Little Data . Using my trusty smartphone stopwatch function , I timed how long 15 players took to serve at the French Open . Then I correlated the time they took between each serve with the time the analysis showed they add to the average point . The two quantities had a fairly high correlation , suggesting that the players who add time to matches do so at least in large part by adding time between points . 8 Playing slow puts players in good company . Some of the greatest players of all time do or did : Nadal , Djokovic and Murray join fellow multiple - Slam - winners Jimmy Connors , Jim Courier , Ivan Lendl and John McEnroe , who were all slow , albeit relative to their cohorts ’ faster times . But slower players are only marginally better : There is essentially no correlation between career winning percentage and relative speed of play . 9 Great players like Federer and 2001 Wimbledon champ Goran Ivanisevic played faster than average . My analysis assumed each player maintains the same pace throughout his career , but anyone can change his pace of play . To find out who has , I compared actual and expected pace for each match 10 Nadal is vexed that time has become such a pressing topic lately . “ I do n ’ t know why but is very interesting that we are talking a lot about time the last three years , ” he said in response to a question of mine at a news conference here at the French Open . “ I have been on the tour for 13 years , so for the first 10 years I have been on the tour I do n ’ t think I was quicker than now , and we were not talking about that a request that was granted Murray knows sometimes he is too slow . “ I do n ’ t mean to do it , ” he said . Then again , it ’ s hard to know when he ’ s taking too much time . “ Are we supposed to spend the 25 seconds before you serve counting in your head to 25 ? No , you ’ re thinking about tactics or , you know , other things , what you ’ re about to do with the serve , where you ’ re going to play the serve . And , yeah Since Murray and Nadal grew tired of all the time questions , I asked some of today ’ s fastest players why they push the pace . All of them said that ’ s always been their style . Australian Bernard Tomic said he plays fast deliberately . He told me that mixing up pace between points is another way to throw off opponents , like changing the speed or spin of the ball . “ Everyone plays differently , ” Tomic said . “ That ’ s the weapon you have these days . ” Lukas Rosol , a Czech player , and American Sam Querrey both said they like to get into a rhythm when serving . Waiting too long between points can break that up . Querrey gets annoyed when he has to wait too long to return , and he figures spectators do , too . “ Sports that are popular are ones that have pretty good pace of play , ” he said . Some players told The Washington Post they want the game sped up , such as by forcing servers to hit their first ball toss , no matter how errant . On Monday , during Nadal ’ s slow - paced match against Sock , I caught up with some more outliers among retired greats at a joint news conference to promote the seniors tournament . The ex - players ’ sense of their own pace generally squared with the analysis . “ I did n ’ t take any time , ” said Ivanisevic , the 2001 Wimbledon champ . “ I just liked to play fast . ” He recalled playing Agassi , another fast player , in a five - setter that took two hours . He was a bit off , but the match was still pretty fast for a five - setter , taking two hours and 50 minutes . Ivanisevic has to watch a lot of tennis these days , as coach of defending U.S. Open champ Marin Cilic , and he wishes players would move faster . “ Maybe they should go to the towel just half the time , ” he said . Michael Chang , the 1989 French Open champ , correctly guessed that he was somewhere in between Ivanisevic and Nadal in pace . He does n ’ t blame Nadal : “ A guy like Rafa , he sweats profusely , ” Chang said . So did Pat Cash , the 1987 Wimbledon champ . “ I was one of the sweatiest players in the history of the game , ” he said . He also often ended points at the net , so he needed time to walk back to the baseline . Nonetheless , he used to rush as a young player , until he was taught to slow down — so slow , he was one of the slowest players , relative to his era . Cash thinks that the sport , with its protracted baseline rallies , is better today , and that there ’ s nothing wrong with players taking a 30 - second break after a rally at least that long . “ Spectators have got to catch their breath , ” he said . | [

http://fixmycabinet.com/2009/01/05/what-kind-of-glue-should-be-used-on-loose-formica/ | What Kind Of Glue Should Be Used On Loose Formica January 5th , 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments If your cabinet laminate is coming off and your wondering what kind of glue should be used on loose Formica , do not use yellow glue . Actually , make sure that you do n ’ t use any type of wood glue whether it is yellow or white . I have been in so many homes where customers tried to repair their Formica cabinets by using the wrong type of adhesive . The only adhesive that you should use to re - stick loose plastic laminate with is contact cement . It is very important that you use the correct kind though . If you are re - laminating an area that is near heat sources make sure that you do not use a non - flammable contact glue . Non - flam contact adhesive will not withstand the heat . I have had counter tops de - laminate from just the sunlight shinning through the window directly on the plastic laminate that I used non - flammable contact adhesive on . Another problem with it is that it can only be used when the surrounding atmospheric temperature is above seventy degrees . Always use a flammable grade contact adhesive in any high heat areas . This applies to door edges that may be over toaster ovens , Fry Babies and Crock Pots . You should also take into consideration where the coffee pot is located in relation to where you are making the cabinetry repair using this type of glue . Tip : The glue must be semi dry to touch , with no appearance of moisture in it , before it can be stuck . What Kind of Glues Can not be Used to Stick Formica ? The following is a list of glues that can not be used to stick Formica ( or , ” Plastic Laminate ” ) with . If you break the rules , you will only regret your decision at a later date . By all appearances , your temporary fix with the wrong type of adhesive may hold initially but mark my words , the bond will not last . Tip : If you get a ripple or hump in the laminate , DO NOT FORCE IT IN PLACE ! You may press it gently but , if you see that it is not going to lay down , you will have to do re - lamination work over . Glues that should never be used on Formica Two part epoxy Elmer ’ s glue Super glue Bondo Yellow wood glue Non - flammable contact adhesive should not be used in high heat areas . Tip : I highly recommend purchasing contact glue from a local cabinet manufacturer . If you just take a gallon milk jug into the shop with you or even a jar will work , I ’ m sure they would sell you some . Heck , you may even get it for free . Now that ’ s my kind of language . What brand of contact glue is the best to use on Formica ? The finest brand of contact glue in the non - flammable category is the Stay Put brand . I have used this adhesive to stick small , medium and large surfaces with excellent results . This can usually be found at a local cabinet supply company . They may be purchased in small spray cans . This product is available in a red color and also in clear . We certainly recommend that you use the clear one . Red die stuck inside contact cement is a rough combination to remove from surrounding surfaces . When the two surfaces of material that you have applied the contact glue to have met one another , you will not be able to adjust the position . Make sure you hit the mark perfect the first time . There are many brands of flammable contact glue that will work just fine when laminating Formica . Here again check with a local cabinetry supply company . Places such as Home Depot , Lowes or Ace Hardware will have various choices available . Some companies offer small bottles of Formica glue for making repairs with . My strongest suggestion though is to purchase the glue either from a cabinet shop or cabinet supply company . Tip : If you miss the mark and the laminate gets stuck crooked , use lacquer thinner to break the glue joint . Refer to the section on how to remove Formica from cabinets As earlier mentioned a local cabinetry shop can supply you with the best contact glue adhesive to get the loose Formica stuck back into place . You know , they will even give you some pointers on how to re - glue loose mica too . This will eliminate you having to fuss with which glues that you should not use and help you to find the best contact adhesive that will get your Formica re - laminating job accomplished . Just remember that when you stick the two pieces together , they must be in perfect alignment .

Please inquire if you do not see a suitable option above . The minimum order quantity for this product is 1 / 20 ' container . Spray Dried Process The manufacture of instant coffee begins with brewing coffee in highly efficient extraction equipment . Hot water is passed through a series of five to eight columns of ground coffee beans . The water first passes through several " hot " cells ( 284 - 356 ° F ) , at least some of which operate at higher - than - atmospheric pressure , for extraction of difficult components like carbohydrates . It then passes through two or more " cold " cells ( about 212 ° F ) for extraction of the more flavorful elements . The extract is After a filtering step , the brewed coffee is treated in one of several ways to increase its concentration . The goal is to create an extract that is about 40 % solids . In some cases , the liquid is processed in a centrifuge to separate out the lighter water from the heavier coffee extract . Another technique is to remove water by evaporation before cooling the hot , brewed extract . A third alternative is to cool the extract enough to freeze water , and then mechanically separate the ice crystals from the coffee concentrate . Cooled , clarified liquid concentrate is sprayed through a nozzle at the top of a drying tower . The tower is at least 75 ft tall . Air that has been heated to about 480 ° F is blown downward through the mist to evaporate the water . The air is diverted out of the tower near the bottom , and it is filtered to remove fine particles , which can be recirculated back through the tower or reintroduced during the agglomeration step . The dry coffee powder collects in the bottom of the tower before being discharged for further Optionally , spray drying could be followed by a step to form the powder into coarser particles that will dissolve more completely in the consumer ' s cup . The agglomeration process basically involves rewetting the surfaces of the coffee powder particles and bringing the particles into contact , so that they will adhere to each other and form larger , more granular particles . This is accomplished by exposing the powder to steam or a fine mist , while tumbling it in the air .

http://flashpackerfamily.com/using-priceline-express-deals/ | Using Priceline Express Deals to Save Big on Hotels This post may contain compensated links . Please refer to my disclaimer here for more information . So you want to know a little secret ? Almost every hotel we stay at on our travels is booked using Priceline Express Deals . When you travel as much as we do , you have to be efficient with your spending . For those that do n ’ t know , Express Deals are like a mystery hotel . You know a lot of the details of the hotel , it ’ s amenities and general location prior to booking but you do n ’ t find out the name until after you ’ ve paid . For some that might seem risky or scary , but the reward outweighs the risk . Acutally , there is almost NO risk involved in using Priceline Express Deals if you are smart about it . I have an almost foolproof way of establishing which hotel we are going to get before we book . We regularly get 30 - 60 % off the nightly rate for hotels using this method . Let me show you how I do it … This is an actual booking I made today . 1 . Search your location and date I ’ m looking at going to Providence , Rhode Island in about two weeks time . ( If you ’ re wondering what the ShopAtHome . com bar is , read this post to see how you can use cash back rewards to save more money when using Priceline . ) Here ’ s what the results look like : 2 . Open up the Express Deals in a new browser tab Right click on the orange Express Deals section at the top of the page and open it up in a new tab on your browser . You need to be able to flick back and forth between the search and the regular hotel search you opened in step one . 3 . Identify the Express Deal you want What Express Deal you choose to go for will depend on your price range and the number of stars you want . We usually go for 2.5 to 4 star hotels and our budget is $ 100 / night or less . This one is a really good discount so I ’ m willing to stretch the budget a little as it ’ s in a good location and gets an 8 + rating from previous guests . Priceline will show you the rough location of the hotel and a list of amenities that the hotel has . It will also display the review score from previous guests either 7 + , 8 + or 9 + . If it ’ s a review score of under 7 a score will not be displayed . Avoid any hotels that do n ’ t have a review score . 4 . Establish which hotel you ’ re most likely to get Go back to the first hotel listings tab you have open in your browser and filter the search results with the location , star rating and amenities . This will help you establish the exact hotel you ’ ll get . So for the listing we found in step 3 , we check the star rating , amenities and location as listed below . This narrows the results down to only TWO hotels ! 5 . Compare prices to double check To double check exactly what hotel I ’ m getting I use some simple math ! Here is the formula : Express Deal price x 100 / ( 100 % – X % discount ) = Original hotel price So , in this case , the Express deal is $ 106 and we ’ re getting a 52 % discount to reach that price : $ 106 x 100 / 48 % = $ 220 For the two hotels we ’ ve narrowed it down to in step 4 , based on the math , it must be the Marriott Providence Downtown . Let ’ s check out that hotel and see if it looks good ! Looks pretty good ! 6 . Book it ! Now you know exactly which hotel you ’ re going to get when you complete your express deal . Once you ’ ve had a look through the pictures , read the reviews and checked the exact location of the hotel you can book it with confidence ! Do n ’ t forget that add in taxes and hotel fees . And do n ’ t worry about purchasing trip protection from them if you already have travel insurance . Notice you can pay for your hotel on using Paypal . Here ’ s a handy list of other places online you can pay for travel with Paypal Sometimes it takes a few seconds for your deal to process . You ’ ll see a screen like the one above . It ’ s worth taking a screenshot of it to capture the request number in case something happens , your internet drops out or your computer freezes mid - booking . And voila ! On this screen you find out exactly what you ’ ve booked ! Just as I deduced , it ’ s the Marriott Providence Downtown . What a saving too ! Let me know what you think of my handy instructions for using Are you willing to give it a go now that you know you can work out which hotel you ’ ll be staying at before you pay ? If you have any further questions , let me know ! I ’ m happy to help you get started so email me or send me a message on Facebook | [

http://flavorwire.com/457151/frasier-10-years-later-the-slow-death-of-a-canonical-sitcom | ‘ Frasier ’ 10 Years Later : The Slow Death of a Canonical Sitcom Television | By Jillian Mapes | May 14 , 2014 Ten years ago this week , Frasier aired its final episode , “ Goodnight Seattle , Part 2 . ” Spoiler alert , in case an extra decade is n ’ t long enough for you to get through Frasier : he trades Seattle for the promise of love . The two - part finale shows Frasier Crane on a plane , flashing back to the dramatic familial events of the preceding episodes . We ’ re led to believe that he ’ s flying to San Francisco to start a new life after making the abrupt decision to move south for an upgrade on the broadcast - shrink circuit , but in the show ’ s final moment , viewers discover that he has instead flown to Chicago , ostensibly to give it a shot with new love interest [ youtube https : / / www . youtube . com / watch ? v = u4HRP10F_Rk ] For those who stuck with Frasier through its 11 - season run , the finale ’ s last scene was a sliver of change amidst a sea of sameness . A man who makes his living advising others on achieving happiness finally goes after his own . At this point , Frasier had been divorced from his ex - wife Lilith for more than a decade ; if I had to guess , Kelsey Grammer ’ s character probably slept with as many women as Jerry Seinfeld did in his own TV bachelorhood . It ’ s not that Frasier was a commitment - phobe — My goal here is not to analyze the analyst — to pull a Dr . Frasier Crane on Dr . Frasier Crane — but rather , to reflect on a series ending that was among the better ones I ’ ve seen . The longer a show goes on , the more daunting the task of ending it becomes . went on at least three seasons too long , but they ended it perfectly , with a flurry of life changes for the supporting cast and a big show of personal growth for the lead . It was the opposite of what Seinfeld did — a finale with no heart , no growth . I just wish Frasier ‘ s ending had come sooner , before the murder plot involving Niles ’ ex - wife , Maris , and the forced will - they - or - wo n ’ t - they fling between Frasier and his BFF / radio show producer Roz . With regards to the latter , a series only gets one main couple to ‘ ship . ’ With Frasier ’ s brother Niles and the family ’ s housekeeper Daphne , managed to have a will - they - or - wo n ’ t - they rivaling that of Sam and Diane on Cheers , or Jim and Pam on The Office . It took seven seasons for Niles and Daphne to get together , one more after that for them to consummate the relationship , and still , squeezed in three more seasons of milking it without the romantic tension . It ’ s a big part of why Frasier lost momentum , which is not to say there are n ’ t bigger issues here too . [ youtube https : / / www . youtube . com / watch ? v = Dn2CIVSKMPc ] I recently re - watched a Season 10 episode , “ The Devil and Dr . Phil , ” in which Dr . Phil guest - stars as part of an elaborate scheme for Bebe to win back Frasier as a client . I found myself thinking that and Dr . Phil ( as a TV star ) exist in fundamentally different TV eras . Phil is an early - 2000s entity , while represents the mid - 1990s , a time when being off was socially acceptable in the mainstream . The entire premise of the show was surprisingly off for network TV : t wo ballet - attending , Italian loafer - wearing , espresso - sipping psychiatrist brothers , the Cranes , get into trouble in and out of their own bubble of elitism from time to time . And they ’ re straight ! When Frasier premiered on NBC in 1993 as a Cheers spin - off , the term “ metrosexual ” was still a year away from being coined , and it would be nearly a decade until its use would become ubiquitous among suburbanites . With , the mainstream was OK with Puccini references and caviar puns that went over their heads at times because the farce was funny enough . In this sense , I ’ ve always thought of as the Steely Dan of network sitcoms . Without the Cheers tie - in , may not have failed immediately — but it would n ’ t have lasted as many seasons as its origin show and been more esoteric . Ultimately , transcended sitcom status : the show served as a highbrow cultural surrogate for those who had no intention of going to the opera anytime soon . A smart show for people who think they ’ re smarter than they actually are . [ youtube https : / / www . youtube . com / watch ? v = OC6ysvOG1ao ] “ Snob ” is a timeless qualifier , but keep in mind that we first met Frasier Crane in 1984 as a love interest for Diane on . Twenty years of a network sitcom character is unparalleled , but even with the radical changes made when Crane moved to Seattle for the spin - off , his schtick was getting old . By Seasons 10 and 11 , it started to feel like the writers were fresh out of comedies of errors for the Cranes . How many times can Frasier have a new girlfriend , get excited , and chat about it over lattes , only to have witty confusion ensue ? Moreover , the show ’ s worldview started to feel out of place in an increasingly digital , culturally segmented world . Becoming out of touch is a risk a series runs after more than five seasons or so , but after crossing that threshold , the show is likely a hit the network would prefer to keep airing . is not rare in this sense — from The Office to Roseanne , many truly great sitcoms suffer through their declines . Despite final seasons that felt forced , remains in the sitcom canon , enduring now among a new generation on Netflix and syndication . If they make it through all 11 seasons of tossed salad and scrambled eggs , at least they ’ ll be rewarded with a touching ending . anniversary David Hyde Pierce Kelsey Grammer nostalgia Seinfeld sitcoms | [

http://flbikelaw.org/2010/04/motor-vehicles-on-sidewalks/ | Home Ask Geo Motorized Vehicles on Sidewalks Motorized Vehicles on Sidewalks Posted on April 25 , 2010 by Geo Posted in Ask Geo Sidewalks & Crosswalks 18 Comments ↓ Question Frank asked : I tried looking up what the fine is for riding an electric bicycle ( under electric power ) on a sidewalk . Can you tell me what that may be ? Answer The violation would be : s . 316.1995 – Driving upon Sidewalk or Bicycle Path ( 1 ) No person shall drive any vehicle other than by human power upon a bicycle path , sidewalk … . ( 3 ) This section does not apply to motorized wheelchairs . A violation of this section is a noncriminal traffic infraction , punishable as a moving violation as provided in chapter 318 . The statutory penalty would probably be : s . 318.18 Amount of Penalties ( 3 ) ( a ) Except as otherwise provided in this section , $ 60 for all moving violations not requiring a mandatory appearance . There would be additional court costs that could be $ 100 or more . You should check with your local law enforcement agency for more information . Bicycles on Private Roads Identification Tagged with : Bike Paths Motorized bicycles sidewalks 18 comments on “ Frank says : April 26 , 2010 at 10 : 42 PM Just an FYI . My electric bicycle is NOT a motor vehicle … P.S. I would not suggest ANYONE to ride ANY kind of “ motor vehicle ” on a sidewalk . Thanks . Reply wayne monroe says : May 29 , 2017 at 9 : 02 AM Federal law supersedes all local laws regarding e bikes on side walks . I carry a print out of it , states right on it that it supersedes . I ’ m sure most cops do n ’ t know this as they are only concerned about their local laws . I suggest you get a copy of Federal bike laws concerning e bikes . Reply Luke Bares October 6 , 2018 at 12 : 57 PM Gee thats strange i could have sworn those VEHICLES were propelled by an electric MOTOR . Geo April 27 , 2010 at 7 : 00 AM Concerning riding on sidewalks , note that the statute does not say “ motor vehicle ” . It says “ any vehicle other than by human power ” . If the motor , no matter what size or type , is being used to propel the vehicle , it is unlawful . David Henderson April 27 , 2010 at 12 : 03 PM George , Do Florida Statutes address motorized wheelchairs or scooters used by the elderly and disabled ? Thanks , David aria February 25 , 2014 at 3 : 56 PM go back to the first grey box above and re - read Lyndy May 12 , 2010 at 4 : 11 PM ADA laws cover those : http : / / www . ada . gov / q % 26a_law . pdf Shawn October 22 , 2010 at 5 : 01 PM What defines a sidewalk or bicycle path ? Must signage be posted to designate a sidwalk or bicycle path ? Do certain size characteristics accompany sidewalks or bicycle paths so as to alert motorized vehicle operators to avoid traveling on them ? A link to any Florida Statute governing this area of law would be greatly appreciated . Thanks , Shawn Frank March 19 , 2013 at 9 : 50 AM Regarding the conversation of riding a bibycle assisted by a gas motor ( less than 50cc ) : I have read many of your posts and links and all mention a “ home - made ” bicycle with a gas motor . What if it ’ s professionally made ? I ’ m talking about a company that dedicates its business to manufacturing all the parts of the bicycle and motor ? A DMV officer in Miami , FL ( International mall office ) told me I could not ride them on the street , but I could ride them on the sidewalks or where bicycles can ride . Why is the law for an electric assisted bicycle different from a gas assisted bicycle ? Thanks . March 19 , 2013 at 4 : 46 PM Gas assist bicycles are not permitted on the roadways or sidewalks , whether home - made or commercially built . As discussed in depth in the posts and comments on the subject , they are not bicycles , mopeds , or motorcycles , and therefore are not legal vehicles . No matter what the DMV officer told you , only vehicles powered by human power are allowed on sidewalks , except for motorized wheelchairs and as follows . s . 316.1995 – Driving Upon Sidewalk or Bicycle Path ( 1 ) Except as provided in s . 316.008 or s . 316.212 ( 8 ) , a person may not drive any vehicle other than by human power upon a bicycle path , sidewalk , or sidewalk area , except upon a permanent or duly authorized temporary driveway . The statutes .008 and .212 refer to the authority of a county or municipality to enact an ordinance to regulate the operation of vehicles , golf carts , mopeds , motorized scooters , and electric personal assistive mobility devices on sidewalks or sidewalk areas under certain circumstances . It would seem that you could legally operate a bicycle that is equipped with a gas assist motor on the sidewalk or roadway if you are using only human power and the motor is not running . You will have to ask your legislators why they included electric assist motors in the definition of “ bicycle ” but not gas assist motors . A change that would have expanded the definition to gas assist motors was proposed , but never was enacted . House of Representatives Staff Analysis Bill # CS / CS / CS / HB 1353 Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles Sponsor ( S ) : Economic Affairs Committee , Transportation & Economic Development Appropriations Subcommittee , Transportation & Highway Safety Subcommittee , Albritton “ Proposed Changes – The bill amends the definition of bicycle to remove the qualifier “ electric ” from the “ helper motor ” provision . ” Tom December 18 , 2013 at 12 : 22 PM s . 316.003 – Definitions ( 2 ) Bicycle – Every vehicle propelled solely by human power , and every motorized bicycle propelled by a combination of human power and an electric helper motor capable of propelling the vehicle at a speed of not more than 20 miles per hour on level ground upon which a person may ride , having two tandem wheels , and including any device generally recognized as a bicycle though equipped with two front or two rear wheels . Actually if it is a bicycle ( or tricycle ) with a electric helper motor and limited to less than 20 mph it is considered a bicycle under the above statute and is therefore proper that it be allowed on the bike path . One has to be familiar with the laws to protect their right December 18 , 2013 at 1 : 03 PM Tom , A bicycle operating the power of an electric assist motor is not a human powered vehicle , even though it is a bicycle , is therefore prohibited from using a bike path or sidewalk . February 25 , 2014 at 4 : 49 PM Aria , The question you refer to was asked before the law was changed and prompted the change . The post above was revised after the law was changed in 2012 . Jake July 8 , 2015 at 1 : 15 PM I have a razor scooter and do wheelies past cops all the time and have no problem also what if I ride in the grass next to the side walk I ’ m pretty sure that ’ s OFF - RODE July 8 , 2015 at 5 : 24 PM Jake , If your scooter is not human powered , it may not be operated on a sidewalk . See the statute above . It may be that the officers just do n ’ t choose to enforce that law . If you are on the grass beside the roadway , you are not necessarily “ off - road ” . You are not in the roadway , but are in the road , street or highway , depending on the statute . For traffic law purposes , the following statutes apply s . 316.003 – Definitions ( 42 ) Roadway – That portion of a highway improved , designed , or ordinarily used for vehicular travel , exclusive of the berm or shoulder . ( 53 ) Street or Highway ( a ) The entire width between the boundary lines of every way or place of whatever nature when any part thereof is open to the use of the public for purposes of vehicular traffic … . Your vehicle may not be a “ motor vehicle ” . ( 21 ) Motor Vehicle – … . a self - propelled vehicle not operated upon rails or guideway , but not including any bicycle , motorized scooter , electric personal assistive mobility device , swamp buggy , or moped . ( 82 ) Motorized Scooter – Any vehicle not having a seat or saddle for the use of the rider , designed to travel on not more than three wheels , and not capable of propelling the vehicle at a speed greater than 30 miles per hour on level ground . For the purpose of registration , your vehicle is a motor vehicle and must be registered if operated on the “ road ” . Note the difference in the definition of “ road ” below and “ Roadway ” above . Chapter 320 – Motor Vehicle Licenses s . 320.02 – Registration Required ; Application for Registration ; Forms ( 1 ) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter , every owner or person in charge of a motor vehicle that is operated or driven on the roads of this state shall register the vehicle in this state . The owner or person in charge shall apply to the department or to its authorized agent for registration of each such vehicle on a form prescribed by the department . A registration is not required for any motor vehicle that is not operated on the roads of this state during the registration period . s . 320.01 Definitions , General . — As used in the Florida Statutes , except as otherwise provided , the term : ( 1 ) “ Motor vehicle ” means : ( a ) An automobile , motorcycle , truck , trailer , semitrailer , truck tractor and semitrailer combination , or any other vehicle operated on the roads of this state , used to transport persons or property , and propelled by power other than muscular power , but the term does not include traction engines , road rollers , special mobile equipment as defined in s . 316.003 ( 48 ) , vehicles that run only upon a track , bicycles , swamp buggies , or mopeds . ( 16 ) “ Road ” means the entire width between the boundary lines of every way or place of whatever nature when any part thereof is open to the use of the public for purposes of vehicular traffic . For the purpose of drivers ’ licenses , on the highway , your vehicle is a motor vehicle and requires a drivers license . Chapter 322 – Driver Licenses s . 322.03 – Drivers Must be Licensed ; Penalties ( 1 ) Except as otherwise authorized in this chapter , a person may not drive any motor vehicle upon a highway in this state unless such person has a valid driver license issued under this chapter . ( 27 ) “ Motor vehicle ” means any self - propelled vehicle , including a motor vehicle combination , not operated upon rails or guideway , excluding vehicles moved solely by human power , motorized wheelchairs , and motorized bicycles as defined in s . 316.003 . The definition of “ highway ” is similar to the registration definition of “ road ” . ( 39 ) “ Street or highway ” means the entire width between the boundary lines of a way or place if any part of that way or place is open to public use for purposes of vehicular traffic . Hence , your vehicle is not permitted on a sidewalk unless it is powered solely by human power . You may be subject to a citation for operating an unregistered vehicle and without a driver ’ s license Paita October 22 , 2015 at 1 : 32 PM So if you use a bicycle that has an electric assist , but turn off the motor so that it ’ s only human - powered at the moment , can you ride it on the sidewalk ? Or does the presence of the electric assist at all , whether active or not , preclude you from using the sidewalk ? October 22 , 2015 at 5 : 55 PM Paita , Concerning riding on sidewalks , note that the statute does not say “ motor vehicle ” . It says “ any vehicle other than by human power ” . If the motor , no matter what size or type , is being used to propel the vehicle , it is unlawful . It appears that any vehicle , no matter what is in it , may be operated by only human power on a sidewalk . May 30 , 2017 at 10 : 32 AM Wayne , Could you provide the link to the federal statute you mention ? My guess is that it is the Consumer Protection Safety Council document defining a motorized bicycle that has nothing to do with traffic laws , which are promulgated by the states . 2 Pings / Trackbacks for " Motorized Vehicles on Sidewalks " Motorized Bicycles on Bike Paths | Florida Bicycle Law April 25 , 2013 at 12 : 49 PM [ … ] http : / / flbikelaw . org / 2010 / 04 / motor - vehicles - on - sidewalks / [ … ] Bicycles on the Sidewalk | Florida Bicycle Law March 31 , 2014 at 2 : 29 PM [ … ] http : / / flbikelaw . org / 2010 / 04 / motor - vehicles - on - sidewalks / [ … ] Leave a Reply | [

The market , in Hartville , OH , has evolved over the years and the livestock option disappeared leaving a more traditional flea market . Eleven years ago , the operation moved to its present location on Edison Street NW and built a climate - controlled indoor marketplace of 100,000 square feet . “ Indoors we have more than 110 shops each with something different to offer , primarily new merchandise , “ We differentiated ourselves from other flea markets by adding the indoor marketplace , and it helps us to be open year round . When people come to do their treasure hunting in the summer , they get something different and special . Not only do we have the indoor shops but we have a food court for breakfast and lunch , and ice cream shop and coffee shops . ” The outdoor area features 20 acres of blacktop and accommodates 1,200 vendors . “ We have two covered pavilions outside which vendors can utilize in the winter , and some vendors come out even when it is snowing , ” Todd continues . Hartville Flea , Hartville Kitchen & Hartville Hardware In addition , the 40 - acre property on which the market sits is shared with two other family owned businesses . The Hartville Kitchen offers home style cooking , a bakery and a candy shop , as well as Hartville Collectibles , which carries brand name items . The other store , at 307,000 square feet , is Hartville Hardware , the largest independently owned hardware store in the U.S. “ The campus is a big draw , ” Todd remarks . “ We have branded the campus as a destination for the whole day , it is so Also of interest , Hartville Marketplace & Flea Market hosts events throughout the year . The next function is its Fall Arts and Crafts Festival , which will be held October 5 th . “ Items must be handmade , and the crafters bring out some beautiful pieces We host them in the front portion of our parking lot . We usually get more than 100 vendors , so it is a great time for shoppers to stock up on decorations , ” Todd shares . App helps shoppers find cars , vendors find spaces To make it easy for shoppers and vendors alike to learn more , Hartville Flea has launched a mobile app . For shoppers , it includes a car finder and a lot finder to search by product category . For vendors , the app has a lot pricing feature that will show them which lots are reserved and which are available , and pricing for that day . In addition , the market is revamping its website . Hartville Flea is open Mondays and Thursdays through Saturdays , from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is centrally located between two major cities , being 20 minutes south of Akron and 20 minutes north of Canton . It also offers several restroom facilities for men and women , staff that operate as security as needed , and indoor and outdoor security cameras . Vendor pricing information Outdoor spaces rent for $ 12 to $ 18 per space , per day on the blacktop and $ 16 to $ 24 per space , per day in the pavilions . They are rented a first - come first - served basis , unless sellers book on a monthly basis . Indoor spaces average $ 310 per month for a 10 - foot by 10 - foot space , and vendors must commit to a minimum of one month and be open all the days and hours the market is open .

http://flexibledentures.co.uk/valplast-flexible-denture-cleaning-recommendations-and-patient-care/ | Valplast Flexible Denture cleaning and patient care recommendations Most patients become immediately accustomed to their lightweight Valplast restoration . However in some case patients may experience a brief adjustment period , especially if they have never worn a dental appliance before . Should you experience any persistent irritation with your Valplast partial denture please consult your dentist who will be able to make any necessary adjustments . Valplast partial dentures , like your own teeth , require regular care and good oral hygiene . To keep your Valplast partial denture looking and feeling like new , please follow these simple care recommendations : Clean your Valplast appliance regularly by soaking your Valplast denture in ValClean for 10 - 15 minutes a day , or overnight this should be carried out at least three times a week . The ValClean concentrated denture cleaner will quickly and safely maintain the cleanliness of the Valplast partial dentures . Note : Valplast International recommend to avoid using regular store brands of denture cleaner as they are not effective in cleaning Valplast and may contain ingredients that can damage the Valplast material or its colour . Loose particles can be removed from the Valplast partial denture with the use of a sonic denture cleaner , or by placing the appliance under running water . Note : Toothpaste and toothbrushes may scratch or dull the surface of your Valplast partial denture . Be sure to remove your Valplast restoration whenever you brush your natural teeth . Brushing a Valplast partial denture is not recommended as this may remove the polish and roughen the surface over time . If possible , rinse your Valplast partial denture after eating to remove any food particles . Whenever your Valplast partial denture is not being worn , ensure that it is kept in either water denture cleaner in order to keep the surface hydrated . Valplast partial dentures are very durable and are designed to give many years of use under normal usage . Please note that the Valplast material ( the pink resin ) will resist fracture or breakage better than the synthetic teeth that are embedded within it . Small accidents such as dropping the Valplast denture in the sink or on the floor will not damage the Valplast material , but may cause the teeth to fracture . Please handle the appliance with care . Remember to brush your natural teeth and gums regularly as directed by your dentist and contact your dentist if you should experience any discomfort from your Valplast flexible denture or if you ever have any abnormality with your natural teeth or gums . * Click here to down load an order form for ValClean and Sonic Denture Cleaning device Valplast ® is the Registered Trademark of Valplast International Corporation the inventors of Valplast ® Last Updated on Aug 29 2012 | [

Trivia The representative gameria color of Papa ' s Pizzeria is green . Papa ' s Pizzeria is the first and only Gameria that has an animated intro instead of a slide show intro . It ' s also the 2nd game in the entire Papa Louie franchise to have an animated intro , the first being Papa Louie : When Pizzas Attack ! This game has 7 order spaces , with one space indicating how many slices and length of cooking time . As the oldest time - management game in the series , this game does not include : A store to buy items to decorate the restaurant ( introduced in Papa ' s Burgeria Closers ( introduced in Papa ' s Taco Mia ! Your choice between a male and female worker . ( Female workers were not available in this game , and were introduced in . Custom workers were not available until Papa ' s Wingeria ) . When Roy presents an order to a customer , he is shown giving the pizza to a customer . In the Burgeria and beyond , the customer is already either looking at the food or eating part of it . This game has " New Menu Items " on Day 2 , but there is n ' t a screen showing it . The pepperoni is already unlocked on the first day in the tutorial , and the rest of the toppings appear on Day 2 . This is the only Gameria in which ranks are not gained by points , but by tips . This game and are the only two games which do not feature a closer . In the Customer Folder , when you click on an unlocked customer , the folder flips to that customer , but in between flips , you can see for a split second a customer that is n ' t in the game . His name is Johnny , and he makes his debut as a customer in Papa ' s Hot Doggeria going by the name of Pinch Hitwell On May 01 , 2014 , there was a post mortem posted on the Flipline Blog . [ 1 ] Papa ' s Pizzeria makes a cameo in the Papa ' s Pancakeria intro , although it looks different from the beginning of the day slide . is the only new local that appears before all WPA ! customers are unlocked . Nobody orders a pizza cooked for longer than 45 minutes . is the only customer to have her pizza cooked for three - quarters of a meter , which is the longest time to cook a pizza in the game . The last customer of the day will always order his or her pizza cooked for the shortest time ( first mark on the dial ) , no matter if they order it this way or not . They will order for the shortest time the day after they came as the last customer on the previous day . After Papa ' s Donuteria released , the ' ' TRY OUR NEW GAME ' ' icon at the start screen was still Papa ' s Pastaria . It still has not changed to the current icon ( with Papa ' s Scooperia ) . On June 20 , 2017 , with Papa ' s Pizzeria HD still in production , Matt explained that the shredded cheese used in both this and Papa ' s Pizzeria To Go ! is a " classic mozzarella provolone blend .

http://flipper.diff.org/app/items/3370 | Olfactory Epithelium Tissues DEFINITION Olfaction is the sense of smell . This sense is mediated by specialized sensory cells of the nasal cavity of vertebrates , and , by analogy , sensory cells of the antennae of invertebrates . Many vertebrates , including most mammals and reptiles , have two distinct olfactory systems the main olfactory system , and the accessory olfactory system ( mainly used to detect pheremones ) . For air - breathing animals , the main olfactory system detects volatile chemicals , and the accessory olfactory system detects fluid - phase chemicals . For water - dwelling organisms , e.g. , fish or crustaceans , the chemicals are present in the surrounding aqueous medium . Olfaction , along with taste , is a form of chemoreception . The chemicals themselves which activate the olfactory system , generally at very low concentrations , are called odorants . The olfactory epithelium is a specialized epithelial tissue inside the nasal cavity that is involved in smell . In humans , it measures about 1 square centimetre ( on each side ) and lies on the roof of the nasal cavity about 7 cm above and behind the nostrils . The olfactory epithelium is the part of the olfactory system directly responsible for detecting odors . GROSS ANATOMY The peripheral olfactory organ or organ of smell consists of two parts : an outer , the external nose , which projects from the center of the face ; and an internal , the nasal cavity , which is divided by a septum into right and left nasal chambers . HISTOLOGY Olfactory epithelium consists of three distinct types of cells : Olfactory Cells Supporting Cells Basal Cells OLFACTORY CELLS The olfactory cells of the epithelium are bipolar neurons which congregate to form the olfactory nerve ( cranial nerve I ) . SUPPORTING CELLS Analogous to neural glial cells , the supporting cells ( a.k.a . sustencular cells ) of the olfactory epithelium function as metabolic and physical support for the olfactory cells . Histologically , the supporting cells are tall columnar cells featuring microvilli and a prominentterminal web . The nuclei of supporting cells are more apically located than those of the other olfactory epithelial cells . BASAL CELLS Resting on the basal lamina of the olfactory epithelium , basal cells are stem cells capable of division and differentiation into either supporting or olfactory cells . The constant divisions of the basal cells leads to the olfactory epithelium being replaced every 2 – 4 weeks . Basal cells can be divided on the basis of cellular anatomy histological markers into two populations : the horizontal basal cells which line the olfactory epithelium and the slightly more superficial globose basal cells . SENSE OF SMELL The role of the sense of smell is translate the molecular imput in smell sensation . only volatile substances that can be sniffed into the nostrilcan be smelled . the stimulating substances must be slightly water soluble . substances must be at least slightly lipid soluble . MECHANISM OF TRANSDUCTION THE MOLECULAR IMPUT step 1 : Olfactory epithelium step 2 : Receptors 1 . Activation of the receptor protein by the odorant substance activates the G - protein complex 2 . This , in turn activates multiple molecules of adenylyl cyclase inside the olfactory cell membrane 3 . This causes the formation of many times more of molecules of cAMP 4 . cAMP opens still many times more sodium channels step 3 : Olfactory Bulb step 4 : Glomerulus step 5 : Olfactory Tract To read more we propose these articles : Article 1 Article 2 EMRIOLOGIA ABNORMALITIES OLFACTION Anosmia is a lack of functioning olfaction , or in other words , an inability to perceive odors . Anosmia may be either temporary or permanent . Hyposmia is a reduced ability to smell and to detect odors . Dysosmia , also known as olfactory dysfunction , is the impairment of olfactory stimuli processing leading to an altered sense of smell . These dysfunctions can present in a variety of ways , such as the stimuli not activating the olfactory bulb , some odors being interpreted as other odors , or hallucinations of smells . The olfactory organ is , due to its immediate , relatively simple use in everyday life , often considered to be of lesser importance by the medical community . As a matter of fact , it does play a major role since , especially as far as diagnosis is concerned , it may turn out to be a valuable aid . Research has recently shown that the defects in the sense of smell may represent signs of serious diseases . For instance , the studies below can be suggested : Olfactory sensitivity : functioning in schizophrenia and implications for understanding the nature and progression of psychosis . Disruption of odour quality coding in piriform cortex mediates olfactory deficits in Alzheimer ' s disease . Furthermore , the following article about schizophrenia is suggested : Parkinson ' s at risk syndrome : can Parkinson ' s disease be predicted ? Vincenzo Emanuele Berardi e Trecca Fabrizio | [

http://flipper.diff.org/app/items/info/2452 | Serum TSH Blood Tests Serum TSH is usually regarded as a marker of thyroid function on the basis of a simple feedback model . TSH is released from the anterior pituitary gland in response to thyroid releasing hormone from the hypothalamus and causes the synthesis and secretion of thyroxine ( T4 ) and triiodothyronine ( T3 ) by the thyroid gland . T4 may be converted peripherally to T3 . T3 and T4 exert negative feedback on both the pituitary production of TSH and the hypothalamic production of TRH . The basic assumption are : Euthyroidism is present when the value of is within the normal range . ( ca 0.2 mIU / L / 4.0 mIU / L ) Hyperthyroidism is diagnosed if serum TSH is < 0.2mIU / L . Hypothyroidism is diagnosed if serum is > 4.0mIU / L . Reflex the term " TSH Reflex " is that the lab will test the and if it ' s abnormal , the Free T4 will be taken as well . However , if the is normal , only the will be done . The University of Virginia Laboratory Utilization Committee and the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism recommend that for most ambulatory patients , alone should be used as the initial test to exclude hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism . If is abnormal , free T4 should be run on the same sample . Beginning November 1 , 2000 these tests can be ordered as " TSH Reflex " . It is important to point out , that reflex testing may be misleading with the diagnosis of secondary or tertiary thyroid disease ( < 5 % of patients with thyroid disorders ) . Therefore , if pituitary or hypothalamic disease is clinically suggested , both and free T4 should be ordered .

Department of Internal Medicine and Biomedical Sciences , University of Parma , Italy . volpi @ ipruniv . cce . unipr . it BACKGROUND Glucocorticoid administration is associated with reduced basal thyroid - stimulating hormone ( TSH ) levels and a blunted response to thyrotropin - releasing hormone ( TRH ) , despite thyroid hormone levels within the normal range . In light of the inhibitory effect of somatostatin and dopamine on secretion , we examined whether this condition is caused by glucocorticoids through an increased hypothalamic somatostatinergic and / or dopaminergic inhibitory control of TSH . We measured the TRH and serum - free T4 and T3 levels . The study group comprised 18 normal men ( age 24 - 35 ) within 10 % of the ideal body weight , randomly divided into 3 groups of six . METHODS : We used the antidopaminergic agent metoclopramide ( MCP ) and the acetylcholinesterase inhibitor pyridostigmine , which enhances acetylcholine and thus inhibits hypothalamic somatostatin release . Subjects from group 1 were tested with ( 20 micrograms in an intravenous bolus ) after placebo , dexamethasone ( dex ) ( 2 mg / day in 4 divided doses for 3 days before the experimental day ) , or dex plus pyridostigmine ( 120 mg p.o. ) . Subjects from group 2 were tested with after placebo , dex , or dex plus MCP ( 2.5 mg in an i.v. bolus injection ) . Subjects from group 3 were tested with after placebo , dex , or dex plus pyridostigmine plus MCP . RESULTS : In all subjects from groups 1 , 2 , and 3 , TRH - induced rise was significantly lower after dex than after placebo treatment . Neither pyridostigmine nor MCP , given alone , changed the after dex treatment . In contrast , the concomitant administration of MCP and pyridostigmine significantly enhanced the TRH - induced rise in dex - treated subjects and made the similar to that observed in the plus placebo test . CONCLUSIONS : These data indicate that enhanced - hypothalamic somatostatinergic and dopaminergic inhibitory activities are involved in the mechanism underlying the reduced induced by glucocorticoid treatment .

CDP - choline increases plasma ACTH and potentiates the stimulated release of GH , TSH and LH : the cholinergic involvement . Cavun S , Savci V . Department of Pharmacology and Clinical Pharmacology , Uludag University Medical Faculty , 16059 Bursa , Turkey . In the present study , we investigated the effect of intracerebroventricular ( i.c.v. ) administration of cytidine - 5 ' diphosphate ( CDP ) choline on plasma adrenocorticotropin ( ACTH ) , serum growth hormone ( GH ) , thyroid stimulating hormone ( TSH ) , follicle stimulating hormone ( FSH ) and luteinizing hormone ( LH ) levels in conscious rats . The involvement of cholinergic mechanisms in these effects was also determined . In basal conditions , CDP - choline ( 0.5 , 1.0 and 2.0 micromol , i.c.v. ) increased plasma ACTH levels dose and time - dependently , but it did not affect the TSH , GH , FSH and LH levels . In stimulated conditions , i.c.v. administration of - choline ( 1 micromol , i.c.v. ) produced an increase in clonidine - stimulated GH , thyrotyropin - releasing hormone ( TRH ) - stimulated TSH , LH - releasing hormone ( LHRH ) - stimulated LH , but not FSH levels . Injection of equimolar dose of choline ( 1 micromol , i.c.v. ) produced similar effects on hormone levels , but cytidine ( 1 micromol , i.c.v. ) failed to alter plasma levels of these hormones . Pretreatment with hemicholinium - 3 , a neuronal high affinity choline uptake inhibitor , ( 20 microg , i.c.v. ) completely blocked the observed hormone responses to - choline . The increase in plasma levels induced by - choline ( 1 micromol , i.c.v. ) was abolished by pretreatment with mecamylamine , a nicotinic receptor antagonist , ( 50 microg , i.c.v. ) but not atropine , a muscarinic receptor antagonist , ( 10 microg , i.c.v. ) . The increase in stimulated levels of serum by - choline ( 1 micromol , i.c.v. ) was blocked by atropine but not by mecamylamine pretreatment . However , - choline induced increases in serum GH and LH levels were greatly attenuated by both atropine and mecamylamine pretreatments . The results show that - choline can increase plasma and produce additional increases in serum levels of TSH , GH and LH stimulated by TRH , clonidine and LHRH , respectively . The activation of central cholinergic system , mainly through the presynaptic mechanisms , was involved in these effects . Central nicotinic receptors solely mediated the increase in plasma levels while the activation of central muscarinic receptors was involved in the increase in levels . Both muscarinic and nicotinic receptor activations , separately , mediated the increases in serum GH and LH levels after - choline . J Clin Endocrinol Metab . 2009 Mar ; 94 ( 3 ) : 1012 - 6 .

Their role is largely unknown . OBJECTIVES : The objective of the study was to determine whether elevated serum levels , as occur in hypothyroidism , affect endothelial function of large arteries and vascular risk biomarkers . SUBJECTS AND METHODS : Thirty - four consecutively recruited patients , who had undergone thyroidectomy for thyroid carcinoma , were studied in connection with one of the monitoring procedures based on recombinant human ( rh ) administration . Flow - mediated dilation ( FMD ) of the brachial artery and serum vascular risk markers were measured at baseline and for 5 d after the administration of rhTSH ( 0.9 mg im on d 1 and 2 ) . Holter electrocardiogram and echocardiography were performed on d 2 . RESULTS rhTSH caused a rapid increase in flow - mediated dilation from the basal value of 10.2 to 15.6 % at 6 h ( P < 0.0000001 ) , to 16.1 % on d 2 ( P < 0.0000001 ) , and to 14.9 % on d 6 ( P = 0.0015 ) . The results were identical when the analysis was made in a subgroup of 19 patients free of vascular risk conditions . Vascular cell adhesion molecule - 1 , TNF alpha , IL - 6 , and high sensitive C - reactive protein were unaffected by rhTSH , whereas homocysteine was decreased . Arterial blood pressure , mean 24 - h heart rate , and left ventricular function were unaffected by rhTSH . CONCLUSIONS : rhTSH causes marked and persistent activation of the endothelial mediated vasodilation , independent of systemic hemodynamic changes .

Turhan S , Sezer S , Erden G , Guctekin A , Ucar F , Ginis Z , Ozturk O , Bingol S . Department of Clinical Biochemistry , Ankara Numune Education and Research Hospital , Ankara , Turkey . BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES : Because subclinical thyroid dysfunction may be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease , we evaluated the atherosclerosis tendency in subclinical hypothyroid ( SCH ) patients . PATIENTS AND METHODS : Fifty - three subclinical hypothyroid patients ( serum thyrotropin [ TSH ] concentrations > 4.12 mU / L ) were compared with a control group of 50 euthyroid subjects whose age , sex and body mass indices were similar to the patient group . We tested whether serum concentrations were correlated with plasma total homocysteine concentration ( tHcy ) , low - density lipoprotein cholesterol ( LDL - C ) , very low - density lipoprotein cholesterol ( VLDL - C ) , high - density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL - C ) , total cholesterol ( TC ) and triglycerides ( TG ) . RESULTS : There was a significant statistical difference between the patient and control groups for normal free T4 ( 1.02 + / - 0.17 vs . 0.86 + / - 0.13 , P < .001 ) , ( 1.64 + / - 1.02 vs . 6.62 + / - 2.61 , P < .001 ) , TC ( 185 + / - 39 vs . 206 / - 42 , P = .01 ) , TG ( 103 / - 54 vs . 132 + / - 85 , P = .04 ) , LDL - C ( 114 + / - 33 vs . 127 + / - 36 , P = .04 ) , and TC / HDL - C ( 3.81 + / - 106 vs . 4.19 + / - 1.02 , P = .04 ) , respectively . No statistically significant difference was found between the two groups for HDL - C , VLDLC , LDL - C / HDL - C , and tHcy . Serum was significantly correlated with plasma tHcy ( r = 0.55 ; P = .001 ) , TC ( r = 0.52 ; P = .001 ) , LDL - C ( r = 0.49 ; P = .001 ) , TC / HDL - C ( r = 0.38 ; P = .002 ) and - C / HDL - C ( r = 0.36 ; P = .004 ) across all participants . CONCLUSION : Our study suggests that the atherogenicity of SCH is not mediated by hyperhomocysteinemia .

Thyroid function during B - vitamin supplementation of patients on antiepileptic drugs . Apeland T , Kristensen O , Strandjord RE , Mansoor MA . Department of Medicine , Stavanger University Hospital , Postbox 8100 , 4068 Stavanger , Norway . apeland @ online . no OBJECTIVES : Patients on antiepileptic drugs ( AEDs ) may have low serum concentrations of thyroxine , with or without a compensatory increment in thyroid - stimulating hormone ( TSH ) . Furthermore , patients on AED s often have hyperhomocysteinemia and low concentrations of vitamins B ( 6 ) , B ( 2 ) and folate . Previously , an inverse relationship between thyroxine and homocysteine concentrations has been observed . In animals , deficiency of vitamin B ( 6 ) has been found to impair the hypophyseal release of We have studied the effect of B - vitamin supplements on thyroid function in patients on AED s . DESIGN AND METHODS : Thirty - two patients on s were identified with hyperhomocysteinemia and low folate , B ( 6 ) and B ( 2 ) . They were supplemented with pyridoxine , riboflavin and folic acid for 30 days . : At baseline , the patients had low serum concentrations of free thyroxin and slightly elevated On day 30 of the B - vitamin supplements , homocysteine had decreased , however , the thyroid parameters remained unchanged . : Hyperhomocysteinemic patients on s have indications of hypothyroidism , however , supplementation with B - vitamins does not improve their thyroid function . An Unusual Case Of Hyperthyroxinemia Can impairments of thyroid function test affect prognosis in patients with respiratory failure ? 2007 Thyroid function test ( TFT ) impairments can be detected in extrathyroidal dysfunction , primarily in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ) with acute respiratory failure ( RF ) . The aims of this study were to : ( i ) evaluate TFT impairments in patients with RF , ( ii ) compare TFT results to a control group without RF and ( iii ) assess the effects of thyroid dysfunction on clinical outcome and prognosis of RF . Role of cAMP on J Biol Chem . 2000 Oct 27 ; 275 ( 43 ) : 33365 - 72 . cAMP response element - binding protein - binding protein mediates thyrotropin - releasing hormone signaling on thyrotropin subunit genes . 2000 Hashimoto K , Zanger K , Hollenberg AN , Cohen LE , Radovick S , Wondisford FE . Thyroid Unit , Division of Endocrinology , Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Children ' s Hospital , Harvard Medical School , Boston , Massachusetts 02215 , USA . Transcription of pituitary alpha - glycoprotein hormone subunit ( alpha - GSU ) and thyrotropin beta subunit ( TSH - beta ) genes is stimulated by thyrotropin - releasing hormone ( TRH ) . Since cAMP response element - binding protein ( CREB ) - binding protein ( CBP ) integrates a number of cell signaling pathways , we investigated whether CBP is important for stimulation of the subunit genes . Cotransfection of E1A in GH cells completely blocked stimulation of the subunit genes , suggesting that CBP is a key factor for signaling in the pituitary . and Pit - 1 acted synergistically in - beta promoter , and amino acids 1 - 450 of were sufficient for the effect . In contrast , on the human alpha - GSU promoter , CREB and P - Lim mediated signaling . Intriguingly , CREB was phosphorylated upon stimulation , leading to recruitment to the alpha - GSU promoter . also interacted with P - Lim in a - dependent manner , suggesting that P - Lim is an important factor for non - cAMP response element - mediated stimulation of this promoter . Distinct domains of were required for signaling by and P - Lim on the alpha - GSU promoter , amino acids 450 - 700 and 1 - 450 , respectively . Thus , the amino terminus of plays a critical role in signaling in the anterior pituitary via both Pit - 1 - dependent and - independent pathways , yielding differential regulation of pituitary gene products . Inhibited hypothalamic - pituitary - thyroid axis in type I pseudohypoparathyroidism . 1999 The responses of pituitary thyrotrophs to and the thyroid gland to were both considerably inhibited in the patients with type I pseudohypoparathyroidism in comparison with normal control subjects . This finding may be yet another evidence of the lack of adequate generation of cAMP , an important second messenger needed for normal functioning of most polypeptide hormones , including and TSH , in this syndrome . Mechanisms of action of somatostatin on human - secreting adenoma cells . 1995 The mechanisms of somatostatin ( SRIH ) action on thyroid - stimulating hormone ( TSH ) secretion were examined using human - secreting adenoma cells . SRIH ( 10 ( - 7 ) M ) inhibited secretion through a pertussis toxin - sensitive G protein . SRIH also inhibited forskolin - and 8 - bromo - adenosine 3 ' , 5 ' - cyclic monophosphate ( 8 - BrcAMP ) - induced secretion . hyperpolarized the membrane and arrested Ca ( 2 + ) - dependent action potentials , which accounted for the SRIH - induced decrease in [ Ca2 + ] i . Voltage clamp experiments revealed that this membrane hyperpolarization resulted from the activation of an inward - rectifying K+ current through a pertussis toxin - sensitive G protein . Application of thyrotropin - releasing hormone ( TRH ; 10 ( - 7 ) M ) caused an increase in the [ Ca2 + ] i , composed of an initial transient increase followed by a sustained increase . inhibited the sustained increase in [ Ca2 + ] i . also inhibited the - induced decrease in the membrane conductance and hypertension Recently , the fact whether the reference range of serum ( 0.3 - 4.8mIU ) is a safe range was doubted . When was in the reference range , there was a linear increase in SBP and DBP with the increasing serum levels , and the prevalence of hypertension also increased : Hak AE , Visser TJ , Drexhage HA .

These programs , managed by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity ( DEO ) , provide short - term , interest - free loans to small businesses and citrus growers that experienced physical or economic damage during the storm . DEO administers the Florida Small Business Emergency Bridge Loan and Citrus Emergency Loan Programs to provide cash flow to businesses and citrus growers damaged by a disaster . The short - term , interest - free loans help bridge the gap between the time damage is incurred and when a business or citrus grower secures other financial resources , including payment of insurance claims or federal disaster assistance . Up to $ 20 million has been allocated for the Florida Small Business Emergency Bridge Loan Program and up to $ 25 million for the Citrus Emergency Loan Program . DEO Executive Director Cissy Proctor said , “ A top priority for DEO is helping Floridians impacted by the storm . Many small business owners throughout the state have benefitted from the bridge loan and citrus loan programs already . After a major natural disaster like Hurricane Irma , we want to make sure every Floridian is aware of the numerous resources available to them . I strongly encourage all Florida business owners and citrus growers affected by the storm to apply for these great programs so we can ensure our state ’ s residents and companies recover . ” Small business owners with two to 100 employees located in any of Florida ’ s 67 counties affected by Hurricane Irma can apply for short - term loans up to $ 50,000 . These interest - free loans are granted in terms of 90 or 180 days . Citrus growers who maintain a citrus grove in Florida can apply for an interest - free , one - year loan up to $ 150,000 . To be eligible for either program , a business or citrus grower must have been established or in production prior to Sept . 4 , 2017 To complete an application by the Nov . 30 , 2017 , deadline or for more information on the programs , visit www . floridadisasterloan . org . For questions regarding the Florida Small Business Emergency Bridge Loan and the Citrus Emergency Loan Programs , contact the Florida Small Business Development Center ( SBDC ) nearest to you . The SBDC Network ’ s business disaster hotline is available at 850 - 898 - 3489 or Disaster @ FloridaSBDC . org to answer any additional questions . # # # Press Releases 2019 March February January Press Releases 2018 December November October September August July June May April March February January | [

http://flowersofindia.net/mythology.html | Ashok अशोक Saraca indica - - Sita Ashok Ashok ' is a Sanskrit word meaning without grief or that which gives no grief . Ashoka , a herald of spring , has scarlet or crimson bunches of flowers in early March . It is said to flower upon being touched by a beautiful woman ' s feet . In the Ramayana , Sita spent her sorrowful days under an Ashoka tree in Ravana ' s garden after being abducted by him . Pārijāt पारिजात Nyctanthes arbor - tristis - - Hār - Singār According to mythology , Pārijāta is a heavenly tree brought to earth by lord Krishna . A quarrel over it ensued between Satyabhama and Rukmini , Krishna ' s wives . But Krishna planted the tree in Satyabhama ' s courtyard in a way that when the tree flowered , the flowers fell in Rukmini ' s courtyard . Lord Vishnu ' s heavenly throne is placed under a flowering Parijata tree , and Hanuman lives under its shade . Another romantic story woven around the tree is about princess Pārijāta who fell in love with the sun . When he deserted her she committed suicide and a tree sprung from the ashes . Unable to stand the sight of the lover who left her , the tree flowers only at night and sheds them like tear - drops before the sun rises . Kadamb कदम्ब Neolamarckia cadamba - - Kadamb Kadamba trees and flowers are also a universal favourite among the Gods .

The national floweris another universal favourite of the Gods , and its beauty is often used in in similes for the beauty of heros / heroines : " face as beautiful as a blooming lotus " or " eyes shaped like lotus petals " . A woman ' s beauty may be compared to that of a pond full of blooming lotuses ( Nalinī , padminī ) or her slender frame to that of a lotus stem . A famous couplet ascribed to Kalidasa describes a woman ' s face as a miracle of flower blooming within a flower : her beautiful eyes are like dark blue lotuses blooming in the pink lotus of her face ! The goddess Lakshmi sits on a red Lotus , and Sarasvati , on a white one . The Lotus is associated with Lord Brahma , who was created sitting on a lotus arising from the navel of Lord Vishnu . The lotus has esoteric and sacred significance in spirituality . The Mother Goddess ( Devi ) is called Kamalāmba or " Lotus Mother " : she resides in a thousand - petalled lotus said to be located in the Sahasrāra Chakra in the head . Raising the serpent power kundalini to this place leads to Realization , which is the aim of the practitioners of " Sri Vidya Upasana " . Lotus symbols are central in yantra patterns , and form part of many designs of decoration in more secular contexts . The lotus blooms at day and closes at night : so the sun is referred to as the " Friend of the Lotus " . Karnikār कर्णिकार Pterospermum acerifolium - - Kanak Champā This golden - hued flower has a beautiful tassel - like form which makes it look very ornamental . It has an intense fragrance , perceptible even from a great distance while it is on the tree . The fragrance starts fading the moment it is plucked .

Ketakī केतकी Pandanus odoratissimus - - Kewdā केवड़ा A fragrant flower used in making perfume and aromatic oil , Ketaki is not used in worship : it is supposedly cursed by Lord Shiva for bearing false witness of Lord Brahma . According to a Puranic legend , Vishnu and Brahma were arguing hotly as to which of them was supreme . Lord Shiva interceded , appearing amidst them in the form of a huge pillar of light . The contestants decided that the question would be settled by the one who first found the limit of this awesome cosmic pillar . Vishnu set off towards its base but was unable to find it and admitted defeat . Whereas Brahma on his journey upwards came across ketaki flower floating down slowly . Inquiring from the flower from where she had come from , ketaki replied that she had been placed at the top of the pillar of light . Unable to find the uppermost limits Brahma decided to take the flower back to Vishnu Neel Kamal नील कमल Nymphaea nouchali / stellata - - Blue Waterlily The dark complexion of Krishna is compared to that of Neelkamal . For this reason , the Blue Waterlily is also called Krishna Kamal . In the ' Ramayana ' , as it goes , Rama went to ' Lanka ' to rescue his abducted wife , Sita , from the grip of Ravana , the king of the Demons in Lanka . Before starting for his battle with Ravana , Rama wanted the blessings of Devi Durga . He came to know that the Goddess would be pleased only if she is worshipped with one hundred ' NeelKamal ' or blue lotuses . Rama , after travelling the whole world , could gather only ninety nine of them . He finally decided to offer Kund कुंद Jasminum multiflorum / pubescens - - Star jasmine In Indian mythology , Kund is known for its whiteness .

" Kumud कुमुद Nymphaea lotus var . pubescens - - White waterlily The White waterlily is another romantic favourite . The moon is her friend ( since she blooms at night ) and the sun is her enemy .

Japā kusum जपा कुसुम Hibiscus rosa - sinensis - - China Rose The glory of the rising sun is often compared to this resplendently beautiful flower . A famous couplet in praise of the Sun God begins japaa kusuma sankaasam ' . The glowing complexion of the orange - skinned Hanuman is also compared to this flower .

Her glowing complexion as the Mother Goddess Lalita is compared to the hibiscus in the lalitopaakhyaana Vat वट Ficus bengalensis - - Banyan The banyan tree , India ' s National Tree , is a symbol of spiritual knowledge . Lord Shiva in his form of Dakshinamurti the universal Teacher sits under a Vata vrksha and illumines the minds of sages seated at his feet .

http://flowingdata.com/2009/11/13/land-mass-and-population-by-country/ | Land Mass and Population by Country November 13 , 2009 Topic Infographics From Herald Daily is this giganto view of land mass and population size by country I ’ m not sure how I feel about this one . I mean , it ’ s basically population density , but it ’ s separating population and area and then comparing the two . Then the population circles are sized based on 1,000 people per square mile which seems like it was more out of convenience than anything else . What do you think – does this graphic work ? Leave your thoughts in the comments below . [ via FlowingData Flickr Group 46 Comments Dan Warren November 13 , 2009 at 4 : 02 am I think it would look better if there was some sort of bacon - themed chart next to it . ivo November 13 , 2009 at 5 : 04 am LOL – anyhow I found it a tasty chart Bjorn Bennett November 13 , 2009 at 7 : 43 pm Yay , bacon ! Or beer . Yay , beer ! Stephen G November 13 , 2009 at 4 : 21 am I would like the option to re - order the list based on population instead of landmass . ( e.g. , large Orange dots at the top ) . Or at a minimum , put the population rank in parenthesis , e.g. , for Indonesia : 229,965,000 ( 4th ) Jayakrishnan G November 13 , 2009 at 6 : 49 am Bangladesh , Philippines missing considering its smaller size and huge population . Anthony November 13 , 2009 at 8 : 19 am I believe there is an error in your Brazil / Australia calculation regarding land mass size and the size of the white circle . Jeremy November 13 , 2009 at 9 : 22 am I think the graphic would work better if you could represent each country by it ’ s shape , and then size a similar country shape to show population inside the country . Also , see if you can get accurate “ per sq ft owned per person ” or some similar measure to size the second shape displaying population . Then you would see how dispraportionately ( sp ? ) the US population is in terms of area of the country that is being used vs . countries like China and India where people have a much smaller “ Rob November 13 , 2009 at 9 : 32 am The size and rank of the Brazil land - area circle looks about right , but the number is way off ; it ’ s up in the 8 million sq km range , not 3 million . Katie November 13 , 2009 at 9 : 34 am Despite data inaccuracies , I do think it ’ s a pretty interesting way to quickly and briefly show these comparisons . It ’ s an easy to take in / understand method of portraying this concept which is enhanced by its visual simplicity . I can take it for what it is , basically . Bilsko November 13 , 2009 at 9 : 48 am Yeah … the Brazil number label is off ( looks like sq miles was used instead of sqkm ) but the visual proportions are correct . The ranking is tough to call between the US and China : http : / / en . wikipedia . org / wiki / List_of_countries_and_outlying_territories_by_total_area Matt November 13 , 2009 at 11 : 30 am I honestly do n ’ t think populations should be circles , they should be pie slices . I mean , is it readily apparent to you that China has 4 times more people than the US from this graphic ? I always thought that the square relationship between radius and area in circles made them a little bit more difficult for comparing sizes , but maybe it ’ s just me . TG Chicago November 13 , 2009 at 7 : 44 pm I think this is a great point . I was thinking along similar lines , but Matt put it quite well . The pie slices would n ’ t look as “ fun ” as the egg yolks , but it would be more informative . How about a simple X / Y graph ? Mess with the scale until most countries hover around the X = Y line and see which ones are the most divergent . Gavin Kistner November 15 , 2009 at 12 : 35 am Came here to say this . Graphs using full circles for area to compare values always fail ( for me , anyhow ) . I think most humans are bad at properly comparing the area of two circles , because you ca n ’ t visually pack circle in the other and see the remainder as a single circle . Look at India above , for example , where it appears that the outer circle has about twice the radius of the inner . Can you tell me that you can see that three of those inner orange circles could be put in the remaining whitespace ? And then there ’ s the confusion of whether it ’ s the area or radius being used for comparison . natalie November 28 , 2009 at 1 : 30 am agreed . best to align on an edge , in order of relative values ( either population or area , but NOT centered randomly ) . How about arrange in order of decreasing area along one line , then repeat the series along another line above the first , in order of increasing population , centered on at least one record point . Darrel November 13 , 2009 at 12 : 21 pm China makes for the best fried egg . India makes for the best hard boiled egg . Ivan Ivanov November 13 , 2009 at 1 : 19 pm it does n ’ t quite work for me . Several reasons – first , the size is way too large , I can only keep about 5 items on the screen at the same time . By the time I ’ ve zoomed far out to be able to see all items , I ca n ’ t read the text , and the relation is lost for smaller populations – they all look the same . In fact , displaying those quantities in that kind of scale only works to show the massive differences between the outliers . Comparing any two other items is a pain – looking at , say , Kazakhstan and Saudi Arabia , I am vaguely aware that the former should be slightly more spacious than the latter , but have absolutely no intuitive feel by how much . . To fix , rather than completely redo , the visualization , I would probably display it in 3 rows of circles . First row would be the area , with the name of the country inside , possibly numeric area too . Second row below would be the circles for population size and third row would be the ratio of population by area – so in essence display the “ personal space ” available to each person Ivan Ivanov November 13 , 2009 at 1 : 24 pm and would probably need to drop Greenland out of the third row , or represent as a dashed part of a massive circle , otherwise it would completely obliterate the rest of the display JPL November 13 , 2009 at 5 : 54 pm I ’ d like to see the same using inhabitable land mass daftpunkydavid November 13 , 2009 at 6 : 09 pm mistake : Congo has a population 20 + times what you ascribed to it . Jeremy November 13 , 2009 at 6 : 10 pm “ Iâ € ™ d like to see the same using inhabitable land mass ” Yeah — me too — or arable land v . population . India has a lot of mountains that you ca n ’ t do much with , for example . finch November 13 , 2009 at 6 : 17 pm I agree with the comments about usable land mass , although India would probably look might more tight than it does right now . Hard to calculate usable land mass in a consistent way , however . Some areas ( like the US ) wo n ’ t allow building in wetlands , while other countries have virtually no restrictions on such habitations . cjlane November 13 , 2009 at 6 : 21 pm 2d dpd at 6 : 09 . Appears that area of Congo - Kinshasa ( nee Zaire , ex - Belgian ) was mixed with population of Congo - Brazzaville ( or the Republic of the Congo , ex - French ) Matias November 13 , 2009 at 6 : 31 pm We need some relativization here . Seems like there ’ s room for everybody even in Japan . I think that a good starting point could have been making an average of the world , so we ’ d be able to tell if a country is more populated than the other . Sorry , could n ’ t make myself clear , but maybe I ’ ll create my own version in my spare time . Pingback : Lesezeichen vom 13 .

Alaska I think really changes everything . We would then be able to compare these various circles with our daily lives better . TG Chicago November 13 , 2009 at 7 : 48 pm In that case , would n ’ t one also do Russia without Siberia ? Or Canada without the Northwest Territories ? Or Greenland without … um , Greenland ? jtMass November 13 , 2009 at 8 : 25 pm i ’ d like to see the smaller landmass countries with large populations compared Dual November 13 , 2009 at 8 : 51 pm This seems very meaningless without the European countries included : it would helpful to know where they sit in this spectrum . — — — — — — — — — Another approach would equalize the size of the white circles , showing only the differences in population density . Pingback : Rashtrakut » Blog Archive » Population and Landmass Dante Rev November 14 , 2009 at 12 : 59 am The design needs a little work to make it a bit clearer : I know the speech bubbles point to the correct graphics , but if you miss them it looks a bit confusing : is the first country Canada , or is it Russia ? If you scroll down the image , you can deduce that it ’ s Russia , but the text could align uniformly with the circles ( or boobs if you prefer ) , eliminating ambiguity . in japan November 14 , 2009 at 1 : 36 am I think you would find if you did Japan that the result might be more extreme Stan Wright November 14 , 2009 at 1 : 42 am It gives kind of an odd impression of Canada , because something like 90 % of Canada ’ s population lives within 50 miles of the US border . oriste November 14 , 2009 at 4 : 33 am Other interesting maps , allowing you to compare population size by country , though the relation between landmass and population is gone : http : / / img267 . imageshack . us / img267 / 2208 / worldpopmap6kv . jpg http : / / www . odt . org / Pictures / poplcart . jpg Mike November 14 , 2009 at 6 : 13 am Couple of thoughts : this comparison is most interesting to see which countries are bursting at the seems , and which have lots of absoprtion capacity . That means , as some other poster have pointed out , that we need to see both the countries with big white dots and with big yellow dots . For me , the most fascinating would be to ask , how much land does one person need , if you add up the space needed for decent housing , santitation , energy generation , work space ( office , factory , etc . ) and land to grow food . And the comparison would be ideally against habitable land – e.g. Greenland and Australia are in practical terms much smaller physically than their landmass would suggest . Graphic is OK , but it makes the comparison piece harder , which is the most interesting question . Also , how would you show a country where there is a bigger population than there is habitable land to support it ( I ’ m thinking Bangladesh , here ) ? M grumpycow November 15 , 2009 at 2 : 22 am I agree , the “ land per person ” comparison would make this a whole lot more useful . It ’ s kind of meaningless to compare people and sq km without knowing what the relationship is between the two . The question that springs to my mind is something like “ is China full yet ? ” The graphic does n ’ t answer that Seth Watson November 14 , 2009 at 8 : 20 am While I do like where the graph is headed and it does give a compelling story . But from a population density perspective I think its flawed , especially when you add in countries like Japan and Taiwan because much of their urban areas have learned to build vertically to make up for the lack of land space . I would suspect that the orange part of the graph will overtake the white in such cases . Which may break the story . Tim November 14 , 2009 at 1 : 51 pm I like the visual style , very attractive and catchy – specially when comparing multiple items , not so much when analysing one at a time . But they give a wrong impression : that of countries getting “ full ” . In a certain sense , a higher population density ( bigger yellow circle ) means that the country is getting “ fuller ” . But if the population density gets large enough for the yellow circle to match the size of the white circle , this does n ’ t mean that there is no more physical space available to hold people . In that sense , they give a wrong impression . This sort of visualization seems to be more suited for percentages , e.g. % of alcohol in beverages . White circle = total mililiter of beverage , yellow circle = pure alcohol in mililiter . Mike D November 14 , 2009 at 8 : 11 pm Hope this is n ’ t too picky , but hey , this is a detail - oriented site about graphing … The units of landmass are “ square kilometers , ” but the legend describes this as “ sq / km . ” Clearly no division in those units , so take out the slash . The individual nation descriptions have it right . hazy November 15 , 2009 at 3 : 41 pm india looks yummy David November 16 , 2009 at 12 : 07 am I think using a global elevation data set and calculating slope might get an estimate of livable land , presuming people ca n ’ t build on a certain percent slope . Not entirely accurate but a good starting point . Also taking out all the water bodies would be another way to remove land that is n ’ t usable . Just some thoughts . Jeff November 16 , 2009 at 11 : 42 am I ’ m not sure what story this tells . Should the countries with lot ’ s of land start spreading their population out ? India is the only one that is interesting at all .

By the time I scroll down a screen , I ’ ve already conveniently forgotten what I saw a moment ago . To actually display the data , a bar chart or dot plot would work best .

http://flstudio-collection.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-install-vst-plugins-to-fl-studio.html | How To Install VST Plugins To " FL Studio " 1 . Go to c : / program / image - line / FL8 / Plugins / VST ( default installation route ) 2 . Unzip your new VST plugin into that folder . If it ’ s an .exe file , just run it , and if it ’ s a .dll file just extract it . 3 . Open FL and go to channels / add one / more . . 4 . Once there you ’ ll see all the available plugins . The ones with a box ticked with the letter F are active in your library of instruments already , and the ones with a blank box are not yet active . But for now , skip this for a few seconds . 5 . Scroll down in that list of VST plugins until you hit the bottom . Press the refresh button and fast scan . If you ’ ve done everything right you ’ ll get a note saying 1 or more plugins found , next to the refresh button . 6 . Just tick that box next to the newly installed plugin ( marked in red text ) and voilá , it ’ s done ! How to install VST Effects in Fruity Loops You can pretty much follow the above steps , as long as you do n ’ t tick the boxes in the instrument window , because if you do it will not end up in the effects list but the instruments list and we do n ’ t want that now do we ? So , install the VST plugin like it ’ s normally done and then go to the mixer by pressing F9 . Once there head over to the effect section of the mixer ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ) and press select / more … Now all you have to do is to hit the refresh button once again and it will list the newly installed VST effect in red color . Tick that box and it ’ s installed . . in the right place : ) Good luck ! Posted by Mizu Ahmed Newer Post Older Post Home | [
