Curry Powder
Curry Powder, like Chili Powder, is a convenience for Westerners, and doesn't actually exist in the culture that inspired it.
Curry Powder comes in mild, medium and hot. Madras style is hot (as far as the commercial scale goes, at any rate.) It is a combination of several spices. Most Curry Powder mixes use coriander seed as a base, then include any of the following ground spices: cardamom, cloves, chili pepper, cumin, ginger, nutmeg, red and black pepper, and turmeric. Some mixes will go beyond that with caraway, cinnamon, dried basil, fenugreek seed, garam masala, mustard seeds, etc.
In India, you don't buy Curry Powder. It's something you mix up for a particular recipe or need. Some recipes will call for up to 20 different spices and herbs to be combined.
Curry Powders can also be bought in a paste.
Cooking Tips
If you are using commercial Curry Powder, you can wake its taste up by frying it lightly for a minute or so in some butter or oil before proceeding with your recipe and adding other ingredients to the pot.
Mix together equal parts of the following ground spices: cumin, pepper, turmeric, ginger, coriander. Other spices from the list in the first paragraph above as the fancy strikes you.
History Notes
British merchants, wanting to cash in on the curry craze back home in Britain, devised this powder to make the cooking of Indian-style dishes easier for British housewives. The idea for Curry Powder was probably inspired by Garam Masala. The benefit to British housewives was not only that it made curries easier, but that they didn't have to acquire all the expensive spices individually.
The first Curry Powder was made in Madras, India in 1780. It was exported to the UK and throughout the Empire.
Also called:
Poudre de curry (French); Currypulver (German); Polvo de curry (Spanish)

Flag of Amsterdam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The flag of Amsterdam.
Flying flag of Amsterdam.
The flag of Amsterdam is the official flag for Amsterdam, the capital city of the Netherlands. The current design of the flag depicts three Saint Andrew's Crosses and is based on the escutcheon in the coat of arms of Amsterdam. The flag was adopted on February 5, 1975.[1]
Flag expert Roman Mars declared it during a TED Talk in 2015 to be the most "badass" city flag in the world, as well as an example to others. He particularly praised the simplicity and popular appeal that led to its widespread use.[2]
The colors of the flag are derived primarily from the coat of arms of the city of Amsterdam, or rather from the shield in it. Their meaning is unclear. According to the city government, its origin could go back to the coat of arms of the Persijn family, which once owned a large tract of land in the capital. These colors as well as the crosses are to be seen in the flags of both Ouder-Amstel and Amstelveen.
The popular legend that the three Saint Andrew's crosses were meant to ward off fire, floods and the black plague is unfounded as the use of three St. Andrews crosses by noble families in the area precedes the arrival of the Black Death in Europe.
In the coats of arms of two other Dutch cities, Dordrecht and Delft, the middle stripe symbolises water. In regards to Amsterdam, this black strip becomes the River Amstel.
AFC Ajax, an Amsterdam-based football team who plays in the Dutch Eredivisie, uses the Amsterdam flag as their captain's armband.

GLAMPING – Nature served on silver platter
Studenteropgave: Speciale (inkl. HD afgangsprojekt)
 - Katarina Leci Sakacova
4. semester, Turisme, Kandidat (Kandidatuddannelse)
This research deals with a new trend in tourism, glamping. This type of tourism is rather unexplored, which is the main reason for choosing this topic. The knowledge about glamping is usually very brief and restricted to a short explanation of the term glamping as glamorous or luxury camping. This stresses only bond with nature without having to sacrifice the luxury. However, this clarification is not sufficient for the purpose of suppliers. In order to make their services effective, it is important to know their customers much deeper. Therefore, this research attempts to present at least one part of missing knowledge about glampers.
This study seeks answers to the following questions about glampers, their motivations, needs and happiness during their glamping holidays (as a more profound equivalent of tourist satisfaction):
What characterizes glampers as tourists?
What are the motivations, needs, wants and expectations expressed by glampers?
How do glampers imagine happy holiday?
The first question is the main question of this study. The following questions are sub-questions, which should help to dig deeper into specific areas, and hence to get even better understanding of glampers' thinking.
This research is an exploratory qualitative study written under the social constructivist paradigm. The data were collected in three stages. The first step was a passive netnography where Facebook groups, travel blogs, glamping sites and online forums about glamping were searched and observed. Furthermore, the preliminary definition of glamping on basis of web pages of glamping suppliers, academic literature, newspaper articles and online definitions (more than 280 different data sources were revised). The second stage was continuing in the more focused passive netnography of two Facebook groups and 13 blogs. The third, and the most important, stage consists of six Skype interviews and six e-interviews. The data from different sources was scrutinized and compared in order to identify patterns of glampers' behaviour, needs and happiness.
The theories about motivations for nature-based tourism, push & pull factors, consumption of luxury products and services and happiness in tourism were used to explore important characteristics of glampers. The analysis showed that there are two main groups of glampers – resort glampers and caravan glampers. Resort glampers are customers of luxury glamping resorts whilst caravan glampers use their personalized caravans during their holidays. Both groups wish to be close to nature but they do not want to give up the comfort, which they are used to at home. These comforts entail tasty food, good vine, comfortable bed and many small accessories, which create a homely atmosphere. Resort glampers seek relax, adventurous outdoors activities and a lot of privacy, which allows them to bond with their families. Caravan glampers are motivated also by these things. However, the most important for them is the independence and creativity. They can be characterized as travellers, who are keen on personalizing and making their caravans beautiful. They concentrate on sharing their inventions and ideas. They love freedom, which allows them to explore the country and to get to know other people. The socializing aspect of glamping is crucial for them.
The purpose of this research is to fill in at least one part of the aforementioned missing knowledge about glampers and to demonstrate that glamping has more faces than only luxury. The aim is not to find an ultimate answer to the aforesaid questions, and hence the findings should not be generalized. Instead, discovery of patterns about glampers' motivations, needs, wants and happiness is a goal of this study.

Key to a thriving, happy romance? Plenty of playfulness, say researchers
HALLE, Germany — A new study finds that couples who play together, stay together. Researchers in Germany say being playful with your loved one can influence how happy you feel with your sex life. It may even reveal how long the relationship will last.
Scientists believe playfulness is not only important for children, but it also plays a role in most adults' love lives. Surprising your partner or recreating special moments through role play are some of the things that can boost a relationship. Researchers suggest that a person's playfulness can help with reducing conflict. It also cuts down on monotony as pairs engage in an active and fulfilling sex life and build trust with each other.
The study's authors play encourages positive emotions and might relate to potential biological processes such as activating hormones and certain brain circuits. It also influences how people communicate and interact with each other. For example, it helps adults deal with stress and resolve interpersonal tension.
These can all impact relationship satisfaction (RS) and trust, ultimately affecting the longevity of relationships.
"Our literature review and studies from our lab show that being playful contributes to most people's love lives," says lead author Kay Brauer from Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in a media release.
"Playful behaviors such as surprising the partner, retelling and reenacting joint experiences with the partner, or jointly forming new experiences often contribute to the happiness and longevity of relationships."
How is playfulness linked to the bedroom?
Many studies have looked at play and playfulness in children, but researchers say it's understudied in adults — especially its role in romantic life. Yet having a romantic relationship is among the most desired life goals for adults. It can affect a person's physical and mental well-being.
Previous research shows adult playfulness helps people to build and maintain social relationships. This has also been seen in animals through rough-and-tumble play and facial expressions.
One popular theory as to why playfulness has such positive effects on romantic relationships is because it leads to positive emotions which help people to build and strengthen social bonds. Other theories suggest being playful might make people particularly attractive and visible to others. It could even be a signal for mating.
Research suggests play and playfulness could also play a part in "sexual selection," with men seeking playful females as a sign of youth, health, and fertility. Women seek the same trait in men as a sign of non-aggressiveness.
"The literature suggests that playfulness facilitates the experience of positive emotions, relates to potential biological processes, and how people communicate and interact with others," Brauer and the team write in their report.
Having fun keeps couples together
"We assume that individuals' playfulness affects the partner and the couple as an interdependent unit as well. For example, by contributing to RS, reducing conflict (e.g., by solving interpersonal tension) and monotony (e.g., by engaging in an active and fulfilling sexual life), and building trust with the partner."
"The literature supports the notion that high RS, trust, and low conflict are robust predictors of stable and satisfying relationships," the researchers continue. "Hence, we expect that playfulness indirectly contributes to the longevity of relationships. However, it must be noted that several components of this suggested model have not been tested empirically yet; for example, there is no knowledge on playfulness and trust."
While the majority of findings suggest that playfulness contributes positively to relationships, no study has examined the negative consequences of playfulness at this point. Existing research suggests some types of playfulness could have a link to jealousy, or a perceived threat of a person's relationship. However, current research supports the idea that playfulness contributes positively to forming and maintaining relationships.
The findings appear in the journal Social and Personality Psychology Compass.

Sunday Times Brain Teaser 777 – Feeler Gauges
by L Poulter
I have half-a-dozen feeler gauges on a ring like keys on a key ring. They are attached in a certain order and by selecting a single gauge or combinations of adjacent gauges it is possible to measure from 1 to 31 thousandths of an inch (thou) inclusive in steps of 1 thou. If I remove two adjacent gauges, replace them with a single gauge and rearrange the five on the ring I can now measure from 1 to 21 thou inclusive in steps of 1 thou with these five gauges by again selecting a single gauge or combinations of adjacent gauges.
What are the thicknesses of the gauges and the order of arrangement on the ring in each case? (start with gauge of unit thickness and then its thinner neighbour for the sets).

Which is the fastest draining soil?
sandy soilThe space between sand particles is large for water to flow through it.
Hence sandy soil drains faster than other types of soil..
What are the 3 soil particles?
Soil particles vary greatly in size, and soil scientists classify soil particles into sand, silt, and clay. Starting with the finest, clay particles are smaller than 0.002 mm in diameter. Some clay particles are so small that ordinary microscopes do not show them. Silt particles are from 0.002 to 0.05 mm in diameter.
What is the name of the soil that is 60% silt 20% sand and 20% clay?
loamThe term loam refers to a soil with a combination of sand, silt, and clay sized particles.
What are the 5 components of air?
Components of Air – Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon dioxide, Water Vapour.
What percentage of oxygen is in exhaled air?
21 16Inhaled and exhaled airGas% in inhaled air% in exhaled airOxygen2116Carbon dioxide0.044Nitrogen7979NB These figures are approximate.
What are the 4 types of soil?
Soil is classified into four types:Sandy soil.Silt Soil.Clay Soil.Loamy Soil.
Is there air in the soil?
Soil is an organism that breathes in and out. Pores not filled with water are filled with soil air: a mixture of 79% nitrogen, less than 20.6% oxygen, and generally more than 0.2% carbon dioxide (CO2). The air in soil is in constant exchange with the atmosphere.
Is there oxygen in the soil?
The oxygen present in the atmosphere of the soil is used in different processes and may be limited by flooding or by soil compaction, affecting plant growth (Hillel, 2003; Lal and Shukla, 2004). There are three conditions that relate soil oxygen concentration to plants.
Does Sand hold air?
Sand particles are the largest and tend to hold little water but allow good aeration. Clay particles are very small in size and tend to pack down so that water does not drain well and little or no air can penetrate. Silt particles are medium sized and have properties in between those of sand and clay.
Which sand is best for gardening?
Due to its versatility, Sharp Sand is a good garden all-rounder. Ideal for screeds, renders or concrete, Sharp Sand can also be used when laying slabs or block paving….Sharp Sand:Washed, lime-free coarse sand.Improves drainage in seed and potting compost.Horticultural grade.
How do you get oxygen into soil?
Aerating soil or media allows for good plant growth, and regular cultivation of the soil and growing container allows the roots to draw in needed oxygen.
Does adding sand to soil make it drain better?
Sand is one of the cheapest things you can add to your garden soil that will help to break up the soil. The small particle size of the sand will get in between soil clods and break them up, increase drainage, and help to aerate the soil for good root development.
What percentage of air is?
Air is mostly gas The air in Earth's atmosphere is made up of approximately 78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen. Air also has small amounts of lots of other gases, too, such as carbon dioxide, neon, and hydrogen.
What is the smallest soil particle?
clay particlesTexture – The particles that make up soil are categorized into three groups by size: sand, silt, and clay. Sand particles are the largest and clay particles the smallest.
How much air is in typical soil?
Soil Composition The basic components of soil are minerals, organic matter, water and air. The typical soil consists of approximately 45% mineral, 5% organic matter, 20-30% water, and 20-30% air. These percentages are only generalizations at best.
Which soil contains more air?
Loam soils generally contain more nutrients, moisture, and humus than sandy soils, have better drainage and infiltration of water and air than silt and clay-rich soils, and are easier to till than clay soils.
Does soil breathe?
Soils Breathe From burrowers to bacteria, the organisms that live in soils respire. Most of them take in oxygen to do their work, and they give off carbon dioxide, just as humans do. Soils breathe because they shelter and support living organisms.
Who is the father of soil science?
Vasily DokuchaevCelebrating the 175th anniversary of Vasily Dokuchaev, the father of soil science.
Does sand absorb water?
Sand absorbs water because sand particles have pores in them that, when dry, are filled with air. When the sand particles are wet, the air in the spores is replaced with water. … Sand by itself, without containing loam, silt or clay, has the least absorbent water capacity of all the soil types.
Is Gravel bigger than sand?
The difference between sand and gravel is simply the size of the material in question. … Sand particles are larger than silt but smaller than gravel. Gravel is a granular material derived from the erosion of rocks, ranging in size from 4.75 mm to 75 mm. Gravel particles are larger than sand but smaller than boulders.
Is air matter Yes or no?
But, like solids and liquids, air is matter. It has weight (more than we might imagine), it takes up space, and it is composed of particles too small and too spread apart to see. Air, a mixture of gases, shares properties with water vapor, the gaseous form of water that is part of air.

Film and Glass Slides
There are basically two types of slides, those on glass and the film slides we have today.
While copies can be made of both types of slides, the image quality will not be the same as the original because it is a duplicate.
Glass slides are often confused with glass negatives, but two important differences exist. Also called lantern slides, glass slides, are a positive image and a standard size. The positive image on each lantern slide is sandwiched between two pieces of glass. These slides include a paper mount and taped-sealed edges. Glass negatives come in a variety of sizes and are negative images.
Lantern slides remained popular from 1850 until approximately 1950 and these slides are still used today in many academic disciplines. The introduction of inexpensive film slides in the 1950s replaced them.
Contemporary slides consist of the image and a mount.
There are three types of mounts currently available.

Pupil resistance to their schooling experience
The thesis explores the nature of pupil resistance; it investigates what constitutes it and how it can be explained. Various ethnic and national group, male and female working-class resistance if analysed in two secondary schools in Birmingham (England) and one school in Sydney (Australia). It focuses on the pupils' experience of school. 'Compressed ethnographies' (Walford and Miller, 1991) were conducted in each school to examine pupil resistance. The research found that structural societal state factors, regional, community and formal, informal and physical characteristics of each school, together with the teachers and pupils characteristics and background all influence resistance. The class, gender, ethnic and national identity of each pupil shapes resistance. In all three schools that were involved with the research, girls were more likely to exhibit overt, collective forms of resistance, whereas lads were more likely to operate alone. Islander pupils in Sydney and African-Caribbean kids in Birmingham were more likely to display engaged forms of resistance. Girls tended to show more engaged forms compared to their male counterparts across all ethnic and national cultures. Resistance is complex and dynamic, the definition alters depending upon context. Dimensions of resistance are developed; including overt, covert; individual, collective; intentional, unintentional; engaged and detached forms. Resistance operates within a structure and agency framework, the pupils can shape their own schooling experience mediated within the structures of their school, community and society. Some pupils manage their resources and the structures better than others; how the pupil manages and operates within the structures influences their resistance response. Resistance is contradictory and can reinforce the status quo. To fully understand resistance, it must be contextualised.

Once more into the breach
First, learn to distinguish the derriere from the elbow.
I find this sentence in this morning's print edition:
Watchdog first reported the breech in April, and the hole remains.
The word breech names the rump or buttocks. It's allied etymologically to break. It's where things break apart or split. The breech of a gun is the back end of the barrel. Breeches, alternatively britches, cover the rump. Or should.
Watchdog was reaching for breach, which is also related etymologically to break. To breach a thing is to break through it. That is why Henry V urges his comrades "once more unto the breach," to break through an enemy's lines or wall. The word can also be the noun for the opening in the defenses. One can also breach a contract — break it — by failing to adhere to its provisions.
There is sometimes also a confusion with broach, which means to break something open by making a hole in it. (Same root as brooch, the Middle Latin brocca, a spike or point, the thing one uses to make the hole in a container.) One broaches a keg of beer. An excellent idea. Fancy a pint?

Selecting a house painting contractor can be a daunting task and choosing a painter on price alone can be a very costly mistake. Here, is a list of four major risk factors and ten questions you can ask to help you decide which painting contractor represents the best value for your particular needs and your tolerance for risk.
The four risk factors are:
1- Assessing Financial Risk:
Not every painting contractor represents the same level of financial risk to you. Do they carry liability and workmen's comp insurance and do they have their own employees, instead of subcontractors? If the answers are yes, your financial exposure is much lower. Additionally, it is important to note that if the painting contractor is a small operator and will work hands-on as a painter on your project, he/she most likely is excluded from the policy; in which case, the risk would falls back on you if he/she is injured on your painting project. So asking if the owner-painter is excluded from the policy is a good idea as well.
2- Assessing Reliability and Professionalism:
Does the painting contractor belong to PDCA (Painting and Decorating Contractors of America)? Are they accredited as contractors by PDCA? Do they perform background checks and drug testing? If the answers are yes, this painting company has invested in being knowledgeable about the painting business and is committed to operate in a professional manner.
3- Assessing the Likeliness of a Successful and On-Time Project:
Does the house painting contractor have an Employee Training Program and a Safety Program? If they do, their employees will likely perform at a higher level and in a more consistent manner, while using safe work practices. These factors will contribute substantially to a successful outcome for your house painting project.
4- Assessing the Likeliness of a Long-term Relationship:
Is it important to you for the painting contractor you choose to be someone you can call "My Painter for Life"? If so, ask the following three questions. Are they a member of their local Chamber of Commerce? Do they warranty their painting work? Do they have an up-to-date website? If the answers are yes, you have a painter who takes a long view about their business and is more likely to value a long-term relationship with you as a customer.
As a consumer, when you compare painting contractors, you assess their TRUE Value to you, based on what is most important to you.
Painting in Partnership, Inc. has developed an easy-to-use form you can download from our website. It enables you to actually quantify your risk in choosing a painting contractor. Click here to download the form.


How do impact windows work?
Impact windows are made of laminated glass and contain an interlayer that is formed by bonding two pieces of glass together with a plastic film called polyvinyl butyral (PVB). The interlayer is placed between the two layers and then passed through rollers. It is then heated to approximately 158 °F (70 °C), which forms the initial bond. When impact windows are struck by extreme winds and debris, the glass may crack, but the window will not break apart, because it is still being held together by the interlayer.

You heard a catchy new song a few days ago with your wife that you both liked. Today you were singing the song quietly to yourself while you worked. You want to tell her about it, so you confess this to her.
I've been humming that song all day.
To "hum" a song means to make the notes of the song with your mouth closed, without saying the words. People usually do this quietly for their own entertainment.
People use this phrase to describe something that they did several times in a day, and that they might continue doing.

Pompey's foreign stars take lessons to decipher Harry
October 22, 2008
Portsmouth's foreign players are being sent to language school so they can understand manager Harry Redknapp's orders.
Pompey are organising the lessons for 16 of their players so they are not left baffled by boss Redknapp's Cockney phrases.
The lessons, run by Dr Jay Kettle-Williams, will also include learning football terms using a table football game.
A spokeswoman for language school Polyglot Solutions in Southsea, Hampshire said: ''The lessons were inspired by the fact that the English level by the players and their wives was not adequate for living and working in Portsmouth.
''That was the springboard for the lessons and as well as that it is crucial for the players to understand instructions on the pitch.''

There are multiple definitions of the term "double spending" at play here. First, there is the actual definition of double spending: to spend the same money multiple times. A simple example of this is the coin on a string in a vending machine. You put tie a string to a coin, when you put the coin in the machine, it thinks you paid, you get whatever you want from the machine, then you use the string to pull the coin back out so that it can be spent again somewhere else.
By this definition, the exchange of goods has occurred, but the money used to pay for it is used by the payer to pay for another good later. In effect, you created multiple transactions that conflicted with each other and they are all considered to be settled (i.e. final and irreversible) in the accounting system of that money.
Then there is the definition of "double spending" in the context of Bitcoin transactions. Double spending is often used to say that there are multiple unconfirmed transactions which conflict with each other. But unconfirmed transactions are not considered to be settled, so you have conflicting unsettled transactions under this definition.
The goal of the blockchain is to resolve these conflicting unsettled transactions. It's purpose is to ensure that all transactions do not conflict with each other and to make them considered settled. So to not have double spends, you need two properties for transactions: irreversible, and non-conflicting.
The non-conflicting part is handled by nodes. Nodes validate blocks and transactions. They reject blocks if they contain transactions that conflict with other transactions in that block or in the blockchain. So the thing that prevents the conflict aspect of double spends are nodes.
The Proof of Work is what allows for the irreversible aspect. It requires that miners expend time and energy in order to create a block. In order to change the contents of a block, one must expend time and energy to create a new block which conflicts with one that already exists.
The Proof of Work is also used to resolve blockchain conflicts. If there are multiple candidate blockchains that stem from a common forking point, nodes follow the one that has the most cumulative work because that chain is the one where the most energy was expended to create.
The chain part of the blockchain creates a compounding factor so that in order to replace a block in the blockchain, you must also replace the blocks that are on top of it thus expending far more time and energy. Because there are other people mining on the original blockchain, you must also be able to mine faster than them in order for your blockchain to have more work than the original for yours to be accepted by everyone else.
Because replacing blocks requires significant time and energy expenditure, one can reasonably assume that a block and the transactions it contains will never change once multiple blocks have been mined on top of it. This gives us the irreversible aspect. This is why it is said that confirmed transactions are irreversible.
why can't we replace PoW with an automatic 10 minute block-addition based on a simple timestamp?
Because that is not decentralized. Who creates the blocks? If multiple people can create blocks like with mining, by what mechanism are ties broken? How do you resolve two different people creating different blocks? What stops someone from spoofing timestamps and replacing the blockchain with their own version?
The easiest way to resolve these is to make blocks only produced by a limited and trusted group of people. So it is now centralized. Congrats, you created Paypal, but less efficient.
The whole purpose of the Proof of Work is to allow for a decentralized system where everyone can agree on the truth without some central authority dictating what that truth is. If everyone follows the same rules, then everyone will eventually conclude on what the truth is. The use of energy expenditure in the Proof of Work prevents someone from rewriting history with different blocks because it is expensive to do so. The tie breaking of using the chain with the most work allows nodes to converge on the same blockchain. Use of the Proof of Work answers the questions I gave above without relying on a central authority.
In conclusion, the Proof of Work allows transactions to become settled and irreversible. It allows nodes to converge onto the same blockchain and makes it extremely expensive, to the point of impossible expensive, to rewrite history thus making transactions in the blockchain irreverisble. The actual ensuring that no conflicting transactions exist in the blockchain and thus actually preventing true double spends is left to the nodes that validate the blockchain.


Why Pharmacies Need To Implement Online Fax Technology
The facsimile machine when it was invented revolutionized business. It drastically reduced the cost of communication and with its quick and easy transmission of documents, facsimile communication irreversibly changed how businesses operate.
Known worldwide as the fax machine, this modern piece of technology was embraced by businesses big and small, by organizations, households, even governments.
But technology waits for no man.
And this once beloved stalwart of the office is now counting down to retirement.
While most businesses that still rely on fax technology have quietly switched to online faxing, using a cloud based fax service provider such as iFax app, there are businesses in the health industry in several countries that have doggedly stuck with it.
But they're analog faxing is on borrowed time.
UK health service fax ban
In the UK, for example, the NHS (the UK's Health Service) has been issued with a fax ban. Health trusts throughout the UK are no longer allowed to purchase analog fax machines.
2020 was the year that then Health and Social Care Secretary, Matt Hancock, decreed all healthcare organizations that fed the NHS, both at home and abroad, had to make the transition to digital.
This has meant that pharmacies in the UK, in order to keep meeting patient's needs, have had to switch to online faxing, and away from their reliance on analog fax, for good.
Why might you need to know that?
Because if you deal with pharmacies in the UK, or any aspect of the UK's health service, and you need to fax information to them, you will need to digitally fax as they might not accept an analog faxed document.
The issue of analog fax
But why the switch to digital? What is the issue of analog faxing and why might all pharmacies need to implement online fax technology?
Another driver away from analog fax has been UK based British Telecom (BT) declaring that as of 2025, they will no longer be issuing analog phone lines to customers, in line with other telecom providers in Europe, and traditional fax machines use analog phone lines to transmit scanned data.
Besides continuing to communicate with international medical partners, why else might pharmacies in the US need to implement online fax technology?
1. Traditional faxing is expensive
In any business, even pharmacies, the bottom line is always cash flow. Watch the cents and the dollars take care of themselves, so the saying goes. And traditional faxing is an expensive habit to maintain.
From having a technician come and service your machine annually, to purchasing special fax paper, ink and toner. Not to mention paying for phone line rental.
When you switch to an online fax service, these costs reduce drastically.
– There is no expensive hardware to maintain.
– There is no need to buy paper and ink.
– There is no dedicated fax phone line you need to pay for.
– There is no software you need to keep updating.
– Everything you require is online. The only device you need is a mobile one.
2. Improved reliability
How many times have you had to deal with a paper jam? How many times have you had to call a fax repair technician to come and sort your fax machine when it goes down, when it crashes or develops a problem?
Not to mention the random lines and inky streaks that appear on the printed sheet, or the half received message, the remainder being lost somewhere along the line.
How can you fill a prescription if the vital information is missing? You have to call up the doctor who sent the prescription for confirmation or to ask for the fax to be resent. What a waste of your time and theirs.
And if you don't realise the fax is truncated? What are the potential ramifications of not filling an order correctly? A patient's health is put in jeopardy and you run the risk of losing business.
With online faxing, your pharmacy will never be unable to receive a fax again. When you implement digital fax solutions your pharmacy will get every piece of data that is sent over. Always.
3. Increased security of data
One of the biggest issues with traditional faxing is the security risk. US pharmacies have to adhere to HIPAA compliance, and when faxing was invented, there was no such thing as a hacker, so there were no built in defences in the technology to prevent someone from getting into your system.
But now, traditional fax machines provide an open door to anyone wanting to gain access to your entire IT network, putting all of your PHI (protected health information) at risk.
Can you afford to play fast and loose with patient data?
– When you're flat out, receiving faxes 24/7, you can't have someone monitoring the fax machine for every new fax that comes in.
– How many times have you received a paper fax through and it's been left in the tray until you get round to processing it?
– How many unauthorized personnel have had eyes on it?
– Or how many times has a fax come in and it's not been filed properly, and it's been lost in the process?
– You need to be able to retain and retrieve faxed documents quickly in the event of an emergency, and having them all online, in one place, stored securely in the cloud, enables this.
Online fax service
When faxed orders are critical for your pharmacy business, you need to know that your fax service provider is reliable, secure and provides a seamless service for both doctors and patients.
To guarantee your pharmacy remains operational, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, your pharmacy needs to implement online fax technology, through a HIPAA compliant provider, such as iFax app.
By doing this you are increasing your business' efficiency, improving your workflow, increasing your productivity, enhancing your reliability and ultimately increasing your revenue. And who doesn't want that?
Simply do your homework, research the most suitable cloud-based fax provider for your needs. It's quick and easy to switch, with no downtime. You can remain open, business as usual, throughout the transition.

How can the physical, moral and spiritual conditions of man be reformed?
According to the Holy Quran the natural state of man has a very strong relationship with his moral and spiritual states, so much so that even a person's manner of eating and drinking affects his moral and spiritual states. If the natural state of a person is subjected to the control of the directions of divine law it becomes his moral state and deeply affects his spirituality, as is said that whatever falls into a salt mine is converted into salt. That is why the Holy Quran has laid stress on physical cleanliness and postures, and their regulation in relation to all worship and inner purity and spiritual humility.
As indicated in the Holy Word of God Almighty, the natural state of man, the fountain head of which is the self that incites to evil, is not something divorced from his moral state.
The Holy Word of God has classified man's natural faculties and desires and urges, as natural conditions. These, when they are consciously regulated and controlled and are brought into action on their proper occasions and places, become moral qualities.
In the same way, moral conditions are not entirely distinct from spiritual conditions. When moral conditions develop absolute devotion to God and complete purification of self and, cutting asunder from the world, turn wholly to God and to perfect love and complete devotion and full serenity and satisfaction and complete accord with the divine will, they become spiritual conditions.

How to Find Your Own Visual Studio Theme and How to Make a New One for Microsoft Visual Studio 2018
Visual Studio is a suite of tools that enables developers to build, debug, and deploy software using Visual Studio.
To help make this easier, Microsoft has developed a visual editor called Visual Studio Visual Studio (VSV).
VSV is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
When you open VSV, you'll see a few icons.
These icons allow you to customize the appearance of the editor and its properties, such as font sizes, the size of the menu bar, and how the menu appears on the desktop.
You can also adjust the number of lines of code that can be displayed in the editor.
Once you've installed VSV on your computer, you can add a new Visual Studio project to it and start developing.
VSV lets you create projects with one click and then import them into Visual Studio with the click of a button.
When creating a new project, you may also add or remove additional features, such a plugin, extensions, and templates.
You'll find a list of features in the "Features" section.
For example, you might want to add a color palette to your project and create a toolbar that will be used to highlight and control the toolbar and add buttons.
If you've added a feature to a project, then the editor will automatically import the feature into your project, along with the new project.
This feature is known as a "plugin."
When you add a plugin to a Visual Studio plugin, it'll be loaded and activated when you create a new VSV project.
To add a VSV plugin to your Visual Studio workspace, click File > New Project.
In the window that opens, click "New Visual Studio Project."
In the dialog box that opens that allows you to create a project using VSV and click Next.
Click Next again, and then select the Visual Studio version you want to use as the editor of the new VSI project.
Click Finish to create the project.
When the project is created, you should see a list on the right of the Visual Editor that contains the plugins you added to your VSV workspace.
The list includes the name of the project, the name and version of the plugin, and the name, version, and version history of the VSI plugin.
For the VisualStudio version you selected, right-click on the project and select "Edit Project Version."
The name of each plugin in the VisualEditor should appear.
For this example, the plugin named "Bamboo" should be highlighted in green.
If the name doesn't appear, click on the "Show Plugin Details" button to display the plugin's properties.
The properties of each of the plugins in the project can be edited by dragging and dropping them on the toolbar at the top of the window.
You may also drag and drop the plugin from the toolbar into the Visual Tools area of the left-most toolbar of the workspace.
Selecting the plugin to edit the toolbar should take you to a new window that displays a new dialog box.
Click the "File" icon in the toolbar to open a new file and select the file you want.
In this example I've created a new Windows project called "BuddhistPants" and selected the "Visual Studio 2018" project as the project's Editor.
The next time you run VSV to create or import a new new Visual Editor project, VSV will prompt you to set the "Project Type" and "Project Options" for the new Visual editor project.
Choose "Windows" for Project Type and "Linux" for Projects Options.
When VSV creates a new VSO project, it will also show you a new toolbar on the left of the dialog window that allows the user to add and remove plugins, extensions and templates that have been installed on the user's computer.
Once the user adds or removes an extension or template, VSVC will automatically create a corresponding VSO extension or a VSO template for the extension or the template.
The extension or Template will also appear in the extensions menu on the top-right of the toolbar.
When a new extension or templates is added to a VSI project, they will appear in that project's extensions menu as well.
For more information on how to add extensions and the Visual Runtime to your Windows and Linux projects, see Creating and Using Visual Studio Extension and Template Libraries.
Once a new extensions or templates are added, you will also see a new folder that contains all of the extension and template folders that are available in the user profile.
For a more detailed look at what extension and templates you can create in VSV by adding or removing them, see Extensions and Templates.
Once your new Visual Projects are created, they'll appear in a new section of the Project Manager window.
If a project contains extensions or template files that have not yet been installed, VSVS will automatically add them to the project if they are present.

How to use a visual argument to get your food to your taste
Visual argument is a clever way to make your food taste better by using a combination of visual effects.
If you've never heard of visual argument, it's probably because the term "visual argument" has become a thing of the past.
In fact, it has become so widespread that it even has its own subreddit – /r/visualargument.
But that doesn't mean it's a bad way to use visual argument.
To make it simple for you to understand, here are five visual argument tricks that you can use to get more of your food at a better price.
The trick to using visual argument When using visual arguments to get food at the best price, you should always ask yourself if the food is worth the money.
If it's not, then you should look for cheaper alternatives.
For example, if you're shopping at a supermarket and you're looking for something cheap, look for items that are low in cost.
That way, you can see what the best deals are.
But you should also be careful when buying cheap food.
If the price tag says, "this is expensive", look out for items with low price tags, like pasta.
And be careful about items that say, "free shipping" or "no minimum purchase".
These are the sorts of things that could cost you money, and could be deceptive.
That's why it's important to always ask whether a product is really worth buying, rather than the cost of the item.
For instance, do you want to buy a large, large steak for a $40.99 price tag?
Or do you really want to go for something smaller, like a loaf of bread?
And if the item says, it will cost you $3.99 for a larger, smaller steak?
That way you can pick a great deal.
But don't buy things that look cheap or look expensive.
That can be misleading.
Here are five other things to keep in mind: Be mindful of the price tags on items You can find a great range of cheap and expensive products on Amazon.
The more you look for similar products, the more likely you are to find cheaper alternatives, and vice versa.
Use common sense when buying food If you're considering buying food, it helps to make an educated decision on what you're going to get.
For many people, it may seem reasonable to just go for a meal and buy food at home.
However, it can be quite hard to find a good meal that's cheaper than what you would normally pay.
So if you've ever eaten at a restaurant and wondered if the meal was worth the cost, look at the price of the meal as well.
A meal that costs more than what your bill will be will probably not be worth the price you paid.
That means you'll have to find something cheaper, but it's likely to be a better meal.
You might be tempted to just stick to the usual menu of cheap food and just eat out.
But, that won't work because you're only buying a small portion of the same meal.
So when you think about the full menu, ask yourself, do I really want this portion of food?
Or, am I going to make a big meal out of this meal?
Try to keep a close eye on what's being served and how much is left over You can check how much food is left after you have finished the meal by using the "left over" menu option in the menu bar.
That will show you the amount of food that's left over and will help you to know whether you're wasting money or saving money.
This can be useful when it comes to choosing the most nutritious food to buy next.
Be wary of low-quality ingredients If you have a meal plan and are paying for the meal on a regular basis, then it's unlikely that you'll want to get high-quality food, like fresh vegetables or fresh fish.
So look out on what ingredients you're eating, whether it's cheap produce or ingredients that are really high in sugar and salt.
It's better to stick to healthy, low-sugar, low salt, low fat foods.
Avoid foods that are unhealthy or have high calorie content Avoid the following foods: fruits and vegetables, fruit juices, sweetened drinks, sweets, dairy, nuts, grains, and oils, all of which can cause high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
The best way to avoid these foods is to avoid buying food with these ingredients in it.
You can also look out when you're ordering food online to see if it's going to be available on the menu.
If not, look out if you can get the product on the


I need to change a function named "CalibrationLevel" but first I want to make sure I understand completely it's role in the system, in this case Qt 5.9.
How to do it in Softagram?
 1. Locate the function: just type "CalibrationLevel" to the search bar. Search is case-insensitive.
 2. Right click the function in question and select Inbound View from dropdown menu.
 3. To see all possible call paths, you want to increase the "Dependency Lookup Level". Below I increased it from 1 to 5.
 4. To see the function level details across the call paths you might need to increase the "Detail Level" too (in my example it is 11). Note that I used "Aggregated Incoming Dependency" KPI to highlight the most critical components along the call paths.
In 15 seconds you can get full understanding how your change would affect the whole system, and it could easily save an hour of grepping and constructing an idea of the dependencies in your mind, or drawing it to a piece of paper.
Extra tip:
Now that you have readily proper view settings for call paths, you can check them for any function just by typing the function name to the search bar.
E.g. in the example above, searching again for "CalibrationLevel" would give me the graph of all functions named "CalibrationLevel" (instead of just the one we looked at above), showing their users and possible refactoring targets:

This reconstruction shows how the Ivory Bangle Lady may have looked
Archaeologists have revealed the remains of what they say was a "high status" woman of African origin who lived in York during Roman times.
Academics say the discovery goes against the common assumption that all Africans in Roman Britain were low status male slaves.
Remains of the Ivory Bangle Lady, as she has been named, were studied in Reading using forensic techniques.
She was first discovered in the Bootham area of York in August 1901.
Her remains were in a stone coffin near Sycamore Terrace in the city.
Her grave dates back to the second half of the 4th Century. She was buried with items including jet and elephant ivory bracelets, earrings, beads and a blue glass jug.
She also had a rectangular piece of bone, which is thought to have originally been mounted in a wooden box, which was carved to read, "Hail, sister, may you live in God'.
Bracelets of ivory and jet were among the woman's grave goods
The grave goods and skeletal remains of the Ivory Bangle Lady were studied by the archaeology department of the University of Reading.
The university's Dr Hella Eckardt said a study of the skull's size and facial features along with analysis of the chemical signature of the food and drink she had consumed led to their conclusion that she was of high status and of African origin.
Dr Eckardt said: "Multi-cultural Britain is not just a phenomenon of more modern times.
"Analysis of the 'Ivory Bangle Lady' and others like her, contradicts common popular assumptions about the make up of Roman-British populations as well as the view that African immigrants in Roman Britain were of low status, male and likely to have been slaves."
The Ivory Bangle Lady will feature in an exhibition about the diversity of the population of Roman York at the Yorkshire Museum in August.

Jamaica continues to celebrate 50 years of Indepen-dence. We have achieved a lot. However, there is much work left to be done if we are to progress as a country. We must begin to tackle Jamaica's chronic problems in a targeted and sustained way to make this country a better place to live, work and grow families. The Next 50 Years, a special Gleaner series, will spotlight some of the challenges we must fix in the coming years. We want to hear from you. Email us at _EMAIL_ and join the debate.
JAMAICA IS rightly proud of Kingston Harbour, the seventh-largest natural harbour in the world.
At Independence and for centuries before, Kingston Harbour was an important locus of recreation for the many who lived on its rim, and for the thousands who would commute from far and wide.
Swimming in Kingston Harbour is no longer recommended, as its water has become seriously polluted.
There are four principal sources of contamination: untreated or improperly treated sewage; industrial discharges directly into to the harbour or into waterways draining into the harbour, as well as leaching and runoff from solid waste landfills receiving industrial waste; the dumping of untreated ship wastes; and agricultural runoff.
A step in the right direction is the closing down of the non-functioning and outdated sewage-treatment plants at Western and Greenwich, and the commissioning of the new ponds at Soapberry. However, Soapberry still discharges nutrient-rich effluent into Kingston Harbour, contributing to the nutrient loading. We need to adopt technology, which will restore the full value of Kingston Harbour.
Kingston Harbour can be cleaned up if the pollution dumped into it is substantially reduced. It will be necessary to ban soak-away pits by sewering all of Kingston, and removing nitrates and phosphates before discharging effluent into the harbour. All Jamaica will benefit from a pesticide-reduction programme, and private industry must be urged to comply with international best practices for treating discharges.


Reduce the size of a video file with Adobe Media Encoder.
 Large files can be hard to work with or view on certain devices. Learn how to
reduce a video file's size while maintaining its quality and dimensions.
Blown-out diagram view of Adobe Media Encoder interface pieces on a laptop
Compress videos to smaller sizes.
Working with video files can quickly show you the limitations of your computer. Large files can put a strain on system resources while editing or viewing large videos, slowing everything down. Video compression can solve this problem. And Adobe Media Encoder provides an easy way to compress video file size with as little visible quality loss as possible or changing the aspect ratio.
Why a smaller file size is the right video size.
Resize videos for better workflow.
If you are working with high-resolution source files, such as 4K video, reducing the file size of videos also saves time in production. Many video files, like those from a high-end camera, are large and can demand a lot from your machine while you edit, whether you work in Windows or on a Mac. You might create proxy files, which use a lower data rate but maintain the aspect ratio, for a smoother editing experience. Compress video files to a more manageable format like MP4, helping make your workflow more efficient. Then, when you export, Media Encoder will automatically switch back to using your high-resolution sources.
Smaller videos help your viewers.
Most social sites like Facebook and YouTube will make your video smaller for playback across a variety of devices when you upload. But if you plan to host the video yourself or want it smaller to share the file more easily, reducing the size of video files is helpful for your audience. While some large high-resolution files might play well on high-quality PCs, creators of video content also have to remember many people watch videos on smartphones, older PCs or with slower Wi-Fi or cellular connections. If you're uploading video content, you want to publish the best video quality possible that will be accessible to the largest possible audience. You can reduce the file's resolution or data rate to help with this.
How to create proxy files in Media Encoder.
At the beginning of your edit, you may need to create proxies of large 4K files. These smaller
alternate files will make your editing process easier.
Bring your large 4K files into Media Encoder.
Choose the files you want to reduce and apply a preset that uses a smaller resolution such as 1080 p or 720p. Note: 720 p will typically allow you a faster workflow.
Create a new folder for your proxies. They will have the same file names as the original footage, so a new folder is necessary.
Set the output location for your proxies to the folder you just created.
Click Play in the queue of files and your proxies will export to the new folder, giving you smaller files that are easier to work with in editing.
For a more detailed explanation of how to create an ingest and proxy workflow in Adobe Premiere Pro, including what presets are recommended for the fastest workflow, explore this user guide.
How to export videos in Media Encoder.
After you've completed your editing, you need to use a video compressor before you share your work. Media Encoder can help you to encode files to make them more easily distributed.
Import your video file into Media Encoder. Most of the time, this will be from a video editor like Adobe Premiere Pro
If you cannot find a preset for your social media site of choice, use the H.264 format. That is the most common way to encode video content and is supported by all major sites, apps, operating systems and Internet browsers.
Find the Media Encoder preset that corresponds to where you want to publish your video. For example, if you are going to post it on YouTube, use one of the YouTube presets. This will quickly and easily provide you with the video format necessary for that platform
Set the file location for your output video and click the green arrow in the upper-right corner to start the encoding process.
With these steps, Media Encoder can help you quickly streamline your workflow to create and convert videos with the best quality for your audience.

MITCHELL-BARRETT, RHONDA (2010) An analysis of the Storyline method in primary school; its theoretical underpinnings and its impact on pupils' intrinsic motivation. Doctoral thesis, Durham University.
This study explores the relationship between the Scottish Storyline teaching method and pupils' levels of motivation when engaged in a Storyline topic. It also examines the theoretical underpinnings for Storyline drawn from constructivism, progressive education, drama methodology and intrinsic motivation.
Storyline as a pedagogy emerged in Scotland during the late 1960s, as a means to support primary school teachers in teaching a topic based curriculum. Storyline as a teaching methodology has been widely adopted across Europe and America and in these countries, the method continues to grow in popularity. In order to meet the demands of the Scottish 'Curriculum for Excellence', there was recently a Storyline revival in Scotland. Yet in England, Storyline remains little known or virtually unheard of. However, with changing curriculum demands, teachers are searching for a pedagogy to teach topic based, cross curricular learning themes and as this paper will demonstrate, the Storyline method presents one such approach.
For the purposes of this study, pupils' levels of intrinsic motivation were attained using an intrinsic motivation itemised questionnaire and the views and opinions of a sample group of pupils were gained through semi-structured interviews. This blend of data provides an insight into the scoring of pupils' motivational levels and also their thoughts and experiences of the Storyline method. This research was then viewed within the wider context of the primary school curriculum, making links to recent developments in education policy making, and considering Storyline as a methodology to meet the needs of an unknown future curriculum.

[Part 1] Achieve Large Bright Eyes in Your Selfies!
Plagued by a constant "sleepy look" in your photos, even if you really have large, bright eyes? Here's how you can make them look big and bright in selfies using the 20° + 45° technique. (Reported by: Oliya T. Yabuta)
Avoid the front view. Use "20° + 45°" for an attractive shot
The basic way to take a "selfie" using a compact digital camera is to position the camera at "20° + 45°"! Doing so naturally makes the eyes appear bigger and brighter, and you'll look more attractive!
A common mistake in many of the poor self-portraits is illustrated in the bad example above. A front view of the face taken with the camera positioned at the eye level makes the eyes appear droopy. Also, by comparing with the good example, we can tell that the facial contour is not well-defined. To avoid such mistakes and make the eyes appear larger and brighter, use the "20° + 45°" technique.
The 20° + 45° Law
 - Position the camera "20°" higher than the face
 - Move the camera horizontally to the side by "45°"
First, with the camera held in your hand, stretch it out straight into the front. Next, lift your arm upward from this position by 20°. Make sure that the camera lens is facing you. Also, instead of lifting your chin, you should look into the camera with your eyes tilted upward. Doing so creates an up-from-under look, making the outline of the upper eyelid appear thicker, and the eyes would look bigger and brighter.
If the camera is only moved upward by 20°, this would create a deliberate impression. To make the photo turn out more natural, move the camera horizontally by 45°. Similarly, look into the camera by tilting your eyes upward instead of moving your chin. Shift your face slightly toward the camera to complete the pose, followed by pressing the shutter button. The result is a natural up-from-under look with a clear depiction of the upper eyelids, making the entire eye appear larger and brighter. At the same time, with the jawline visible, the chin also appears sharper.
Do not move your face together with the camera! Look into the camera by tilting your eyes instead of lifting your face. Finally, shift your face slightly toward the camera, and you are all camera-ready!
HINT: Hold a hand mirror together with the camera to adjust the angle of your face!
You can hold a compact hand mirror together with the camera when you are taking a selfie. Look for the angle at which the face appears sharp, and press the shutter button!

Can I use a fingerprint reader with Windows?
Yes, you can use a fingerprint reader instead of a password to log on to this version of Windows.
A fingerprint reader is a device that uses your fingerprint to identify you. It works by taking an image of your fingerprint, and then saving a copy of it. When you need to identify yourself, such as when logging on to a website or to Windows, the fingerprint reader scans your fingerprint and compares it to the saved version.
You can use a laptop with a built-in fingerprint reader, or you can buy a standalone fingerprint reader and install it on your computer. For more information about installing and using a fingerprint reader, check the information that came with your computer or fingerprint reader.

To see if your computer has a fingerprint reader
 - Open Biometric Devices by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type biometrics, and then click Biometric Devices.
If you have a fingerprint reader, but it isn't listed in Biometric Devices, you probably need to install a driver for it that works with this version of Windows. If you upgraded from a previous version of Windows or have an older fingerprint reader, your fingerprint reader might continue to work with Windows, but it won't be listed in Biometric Devices. In that case, you can try updating the driver. If you're using fingerprint management software and you want to uninstall it to update it to a newer version, make sure you know your Windows password. You'll have to restart your computer and log on again after uninstalling the fingerprint management software.
If you have more than one fingerprint reader or you're replacing an existing one with a new one, you might need to scan and save (often referred to as enroll) your fingerprints before you can use the fingerprint reader with Windows. This is because some fingerprint readers save fingerprints in different formats and they can't be shared with other fingerprint readers. To enroll your fingerprints with a fingerprint reader, in Biometric Devices, click Use your fingerprints with Windows.


Coffee vs Espresso
When we talk about coffee vs espresso it is important to remember that they are both coffee, and when we compare these two drinks we are comparing normal drip coffee with espresso.
Since we're already familiar with what coffee is, let's take a look at what espresso is.
What is an Espresso?
Espresso is a type of coffee that is brewed by pushing hot water through ground coffee beans at high pressure. It has a very bold flavour and is thicker than normal drip coffee. A special coffee maker called an espresso machine, is required to prepare espresso. You can also make espresso at home using a moka pot. Dark roasted coffee beans are used to brew espresso because these beans can withstand the high pressure which is applied during the brewing process.
Types of Espresso Drinks
When you walk into a coffee shop you will see all kinds of coffee names that might at first not make sense to you. These are more than likely types of espresso drinks, each one prepared in a different way.
Coffee vs Espresso Caffeine
What's important to remember is that espresso is presented and consumed in smaller amounts than normal coffee. We need to keep this in mind when trying to establish which drink has more caffeine.
A standard 30ml shot of espresso has 60mg of caffeine, whereas a standard 240ml cup of brewed coffee has 96mg of caffeine.
If both drinks were consumed in the same volume, then espresso would be the drink with the most caffeine.
Is Espresso Healthier than Coffee?
A coffee filter is not needed to make espresso, and it is therefore considered to be healthier. Without a coffee filter, natural oils and minerals from the coffee are preserved and transferred into the drink.
But take note, we are talking about espresso in its purest form. Espresso drinks such as cappuccinos and lattes contain additives like dairy and these additives can cause health problems when not consumed in moderation.
That doesn't mean you should go ahead and consume large amounts of espresso. Remember that espresso contains caffeine, and consuming high amounts of caffeine is not good for you.
Is Espresso More Expensive than Coffee?
espresso machine
Yes, espresso is more expensive than coffee. But why is this?
As we've already established, espresso is brewed differently than normal drip coffee. Making an espresso takes more skill and more effort, and special equipment like espresso machines are required for the brewing process. So when you order your favourite espresso drink and ask for the bill, you will notice the difference in price compared to drip coffee.
[elementor-template id="721″]
The biggest difference between espresso and coffee is the way each one is prepared. It takes a lot more skill and effort to prepare and espresso, whereas it is fairly easy to prepare drip coffee. Both these drinks have varying amounts of caffeine, with espresso generally having less caffeine per serving.


Silver Karshapana of Matsya Janapada

The word Janapada is derived from a Sanskrit word 'Jana' and 'Pada'. Jana means 'people' or 'subject' and the word 'Pada' means 'foot'.
The janapada were the kingdoms of the Indian Vedic period reaches from the Late Bronze Age into the Iron Age. There were nearly around 16th Mahajanapadas, most of the states were annexed by more powerful neighbours, although some remained independent.
The Matsya Janapadas was one of the sixteen Mahajapadas. In Sanskrit, the word Matsya is known as 'Fish'. Today it is a modern part of central Rajasthan. The people of Matsya Janapada are also associated with Surasena (Uttar Pradesh) was also an ancient kingdom of India.
This silver karshapana that weighs around 11.41g was issued from Matsya Janapada.

- Cyrano De Bergerac Vs Roxane - 1,044 words
Cyrano De Bergerac Vs. Roxane Cyrano de Bergerac, the Play vs. Roxane, the Movie In an effort to attract the audience of today, the producers of the movie Roxane retold the play Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rustond in a way that is appropriate and at the same time appealing. In order to give the audience of today a story that they can understand and relate to, the producers have adjusted and manipulated the play itself. As a result, several similarities and differences exist between the play Cyrano de Bergerac and its movie reproduction. The characteristics of a romantic hero in Rustonds time is not equivalent to the characteristics of a romantic hero today. In the play for example, Cyrano,...

- Damsels In Address - 1,335 words
Damsels In Address It is clearly evident that many fairy tales of childhood tend to shape the reader. Certain moral codes and ideals are tightly woven into the text of many fairy tales, promoting or denoting a characters actions. In the Grimms fairy tales Cinderella, Brier Rose, and Rapunzel, the heroines of these tales exhibit strong behavioral codes, thus providing opportunity for the young female reader to relate to the damsel, or to model herself to behave in a similar fashion. In accordance with Marcia R. Liebermans essay, " Some Day My Prince Will Come: Female Acculturation Through the Fairy Tale," I agree with the assertion that positive traits in fairy tale indicate reward, while the...

- Hero Worshiping - 823 words
Hero Worshiping When asked to conjure up descriptions of a hero or heroism, many people would imagine similar scenes. The firefighters pulling a family from a burning building, a soldier saving his platoon from certain death, rescue workers pulling a stranded mountain climber from a precarious ledge, and the Knights of the Round Table saving a damsel in distress, are all examples of the "common" hero. Many people display heroism in everyday life but are rarely recognized either by their peers or by the media. Heroism can be traced back in time as early as mythology has been present. People of that era felt a need to worship super-beings who could solve their problems. Current examples reflec...

Miller's Tale Courtly Love in Chaucer and Marie de France In his The Miller's Tale Chaucer presents a side of the courtly love tradition never seen before. His characters are average middle class workers rather than elite nobility. There is an interesting comparison between the Miller's characters and those in two of Marie de France's lais that share very close plot lines. Instead of being idealized Chaucer's characters are gritty. Instead of being involved in courtly love there is some evidence that the relationship between Alison and Nicholas is one of lust. Chaucer's use of the lower class makes the absurdity of what they are doing stand out. In the lais of Marie de France, Guigemare and...

Star Wars Star Wars As a Mythology Fifteen years ago, I set out to make a movie for a generation without fairy tales. -George Lucas There exists in every culture a series of folk tales and stories, which make up a part of that culture's history. These stories, called myths, often venture into the magical and fantastic, with great heroes battling terrible monsters to save exotic lands. As the human race has evolved, we have moved beyond the need to attribute unexplained events to supernatural workings beyond our ken. As a result, modern culture puts its faith in science and organised religion, and for centuries there have been no new myths. In the nineteen-seventies, a young and enthusiastic...

A new study shows that a baby's first heartbeat may occur as early as 16 days after conception, rather than the three weeks previously thought. The study is being considered a potentially vital breakthrough for treating congenital heart disease since researchers will be able to understand the initiation of the heart's function in the developing baby.
According to the University of Oxford, where the study was conducted:
In the study, published in the journal eLife, researchers looked at the developing mouse heart and found that the muscle started to contract as soon as it formed the cardiac crescent – an early stage in heart development. In mice, this crescent forms 7.5 days after conception, which is equivalent to day 16 in the human embryo. Previously, it was thought that the heart started to contract a stage later, when the heart appears as a linear tube.
Researchers hail this finding as crucial; twelve babies a day in the UK are born with congenital heart disease, and such knowledge of heart development could help medical professionals both treat these babies, as well as prevent heart attacks later in life.
The heart is the first organ to form during pregnancy and is critical in providing oxygen and nutrients to the developing embryo. The process of heart development is highly conserved between mammalian species, meaning that these findings may add considerably to our understanding of how the human heart develops.
BHF Professor Paul Riley, who led the research at the University of Oxford's Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics, said: 'We are trying to better understand how the heart develops, and ultimately what causes the heart defects that develop in the womb before birth and to extrapolate to adult heart repair.
By finding out how the heart first starts to beat and how problems can arise in heart development, we are one step closer to being able to prevent heart conditions from arising during pregnancy.'
The implications of this study for the pro-life movement are profound. Most women have not yet confirmed a pregnancy at just 16 days after conception, and this finding further shows that even early abortions stop a beating heart. The entire study is available here, and it details the methods the researchers used to pinpoint the developing fetal heartbeat, which included "adding fluorescent markers to calcium molecules within the mouse embryo, the team was able to see at exactly which point in time the calcium tells our heart muscle cells to contract and then become coordinated enough to produce a heartbeat."
The study, funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) at the University of Oxford, is the latest in a stream of evidence which shows that life unequivocally begins early in fetal development, weeks and even months before abortion is regulated, even in the most restrictive states.
The scientific nonprofit, The Endowment for Human Development has produced a video showing a baby's heart beating at only 4.5 weeks after fertilization (which is 6.5 weeks according to LMP dating). EHD partnered with National Geographic to make the award-winning documentary, "The Biology of Prenatal Development."


Transverse or Sideflow Weirs
When the water depth at the weir junction exceeds the surcharge level (RL 1) the weir functions as an orifice i.e. the exponent is 0.5. The discharge coefficient for the orifice flow conditions is computed internally in the Hydraulics layer. An equivalent pipe automatically replaces the weir for the duration of surcharge.
Stability problems can be encountered at weir junctions. If this happens or is suspected of happening, the weir may be represented as an equivalent pipe. To do this, equate the pipe and weir discharge equations, e.g.,
 (m/n)AR(2/3)S(l/2) = CwWH(3/2)
 where m = 1.486 for units of feet and 1.0 for units of metres.
 n = Manning's n for the pipe
 A = Cross-sectional area
 R = Hydraulic radius
 S = Hydraulic grade line for the pipe
 H = Head across the weir
 Cw = Weir discharge coefficient

The Munich region of Germany was hammered by hailstones the size of tennis balls earlier this week.
The huge chunks of ice, which measured up to six centimeters in diameter, pelted homes and gardens while torrential downpours flooded the streets, causing widespread disruption.
Several people, including a 7-year-old boy, were reportedly injured by the falling ice.
The below video, which is one of several uploaded on to social media of the extreme weather, shows the sheer mayhem wrought by the gargantuan hailstones as they rained down on a residential garden.
The spectacle of the ice hitting the pond in the middle of the frame is particularly intense.
"I've never experienced anything like it before," said local man Roberto De Angelis.
Chicago Skyscrapers Hit by Lightning
The Windy City is mighty pretty: Dazzling lightning illuminates the Chicago skyline and strikes four skyscrapers
Mother nature's power and beauty were on full display in Chicago Monday night when lightning lit up the city's skyline.
The electric bursts reportedly struck four of the city's tallest buildings in a rare occurrence of what's called 'upward lightning,' according to the Washington Post.
The phenomenon usually involves tall man-made structure, like skyscrapers, and follows the more common cloud-to-ground lightning strikes.
Upward strikes typically occur after positive charges from a cloud to ground strike leave an imbalance of positive energy on a building or tower, which shoots a bolt into the sky to meet and balance out a mirroring negative charge.
All the buildings struck by lightning were reportedly taller than 1,000 feet
