Carbon Monoxide Removal
Wed 04 Jun 2008 - 08:15
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Stephen_Lyons]Stephen Lyons
Sources of Carbon Monoxide
Carbon Monoxide is a result or product of incomplete combustion typically of a hydrocarbon such as natural gas or petroleum. There are many different situations where carbon monoxide can be produced due to incomplete combustion.
The symptoms of mild carbon monoxide poisoning can go unnoticed and are similar to a viral cold or flu infection, typically; headache, nausea, abdominal pain, dizziness, sore throat and dry cough. Unlike flu carbon monoxide poisoning does not cause a raised or high temperature. Higher levels of poisoning can result in hyperventilation, raised and irregular heartbeat, confusion, drowsiness and difficulty breathing. Ultimately loss of consciousness, seizures and death are real possibilities.
Carbon Monoxide is produced across industry in controlled and hazardous situations. In industrial applications it is particularly associated with confined spaces, where there is the potential for contamination of the atmosphere due to incomplete combustion products from the exhaust of an engine, generator, boiler system or from contamination of a breathable compressed air line.
In many of these situations, the risk of exposure can be minimised, or altogether eliminated, by the use of an oxidation catalyst, which will convert harmful Carbon Monoxide, to the much less harmful Carbon Dioxide.
ReactionCO + ½ O2 = CO2
Catalysis is the process by which the rate of reaction is increased by the addition of an additional element known as a catalyst to the reaction. What makes a catalyst different from a chemical reagent is that whilst it participates in the reaction, it is not consumed in the reaction. That is, the catalysts may undergo several chemical changes during the reaction, but at the end of the reaction, the catalyst is unchanged. A catalysts service life will usually be determined by how quickly it becomes poisoned or fouled. This is where contaminants deposit on the surface of the catalyst and begin to blind the reaction sites resulting in a drop in performance of the catalyst to a point where it needs to be regenerated or replaced.
Carbon Monoxide Catalyst (Oxidation Catalyst)
Oxidation catalysts are used for the removal of Carbon Monoxide in various applications, typically from breathable gases.
A number of oxidation catalyst products are available, depending on the application and conditions of use. All the catalysts operate in a similar way, by catalyzing the reaction of carbon monoxide with available oxygen to convert the monoxide to harmless carbon dioxide. The treated gas must therefore contain a certain level of oxygen in order for the catalyst to be effective.
The temperature of operation, carbon monoxide level, humidity and presence of other contaminants within the gas stream will all have an effect on the performance of the catalyst, and therefore the most appropriate type of catalyst will depend on the application.

Could your toothbrush soon hold a WiFi connection?

Why games will take over our lives
By John D. Sutter, CNN
April 5, 2010 -- Updated 1329 GMT (2129 HKT)
Jesse Schell is a game designer and professor at Carnegie Mellon University.
(CNN) -- If you think an electric toothbrush is high-tech, wait until you hear about the Internet-enabled version.
Jesse Schell, a game designer and Carnegie Mellon University professor, says toothbrushes will be hooked-up with Wi-Fi Internet connections within five years.
The point? If the entire Internet knows how often you brush your teeth and for how long, there's an incentive to brush more often.
Toothbrush makers could offer rewards for frequent brushers, too. Say you brush your teeth twice each day for three months. A company like Crest or Procter & Gamble could reward you with coupons for more toothbrushes, since your well-used bristles would probably be frayed by then.
Schell says dental hygiene -- and, really, just about everything else -- will become a game. He thinks the "gamepocalypse," the moment when everything in our lives becomes a game, is coming soon -- if it's not already here.
The Web-connected toothbrush is just one example Schell touched on during a recent interview. Here's an edited transcript:
CNN: You've said games are showing up all over the place. What do you mean by that, exactly?
In short, we already see games creeping into our everyday lives in all kinds of funny ways. You go to Starbucks, and you get points if you have a Starbucks card. And, in fact, they have a whole leveling system. The more times you visit, the more you move from level green up to gold level, with special privileges and free soy milk.
Already, we have this whole system of economies floating around out there. And at the same time, we have all these technologies showing up that are allowing us to track new things, things that we couldn't do before.

NASCAR tackling how to reschedule races, keep teams afloat

By JENNA FRYERAP Auto Racing Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. —
NASCAR plans to reschedule the seven Cup Series races already postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Figuring out how to cram the events and the All-Star race into the crowded 36-race schedule could be difficult.
NASCAR has already postponed its season until May 9 at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia. IndyCar suspended its start to the season through the end of April last week, while Formula One has postponed or canceled several events, including last weekend's opener in Australia.
"These clearly are unprecedented times with information changing by the hour," NASCAR President Steve Phelps said Tuesday. "Collectively, our industry has made several difficult decisions, all with one thought in mind -- the health and safety of our fans, our competitors, employees and everyone in the industry. The situation we are facing transcends the world of sports. What is most important now is we take precautions to keep everyone as safe as possible during these challenging times."
For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover from the new virus within a few weeks.
Motorsports is in a particularly perilous position without weekly racing because of its financial structure. Teams must find the sponsorship needed to field each car, pay drivers, make payroll for an entire organization and cover additional operating costs. With no events scheduled until May, sponsors may ask for refunds and teams won't be collecting payouts from purses.
Roger Penske, who in January became owner of IndyCar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, promised team owners they will receive the first installment payment from the series' bonus program as planned.
Phelps said NASCAR is still working through those issues.
"We are working with our teams closely to have them industry wide make sure we are all financially viable moving forward during this postponement of our races," Phelps said. "Are we concerned about teams broadly and their financial health? Of course we are. We want to make sure that each of our teams gets through this, each of our stakeholders in the industry gets through this crisis as well as we all can."
As for rescheduling the postponed events -- at Atlanta, Homestead-Miami, Texas Motor Speedway, Bristol (Tenn.), Richmond (Va.), Talladega (Ala.) and Dover (Del.) – Phelps said all options are under consideration. That includes midweek races and doubleheaders.
NASCAR does want the postponed events concluded before the start of its playoffs in September, still wants the season to end as planned at Phoenix in November and isn't sure if it will race during a planned break during the Tokyo Olympics, as requested by broadcast partner NBC Sports. The Olympics are currently scheduled to open in late July.
"It's understanding the races that we've had to postpone and what is the best way to get them fit back into a schedule," Phelps said. "Will it be a crowded landscape, television landscape, with a lot of different sports on? Yes, it's going to be. I think, again, we'll work with our television partners to find the appropriate windows so we can get back racing and make sure our fans get the opportunity to see that racing."
NASCAR has eased the financial burden on teams by banning car tests for now, including time spent in wind tunnels or on manufacturer-owned simulators.
Phelps also sent a letter to fans that stressed the series hopes to return to racing in May.
"It's the thrill of the race that attracts us to NASCAR and makes us all fans," Phelps wrote. "But as we look broadly at the coronavirus situation that is rapidly developing in our country and abroad, what is important now is bigger than the world of sports, and we must focus on everyone's safety and well-being. ... NASCAR appreciates your support and we look forward to going green."

Trespasser had right to resist arrest: judge
A homeless man trespassing in a Fort Street doorway was within his rights to walk away and resist arrest by two Victoria police officers who wanted to serve him with a violation ticket, a provincial court judge has ruled.
Louise Dickson
Victoria courthouse.LYLE STAFFORD
John Chambers was charged with obstructing a police officer on Feb. 11, 2017. Chambers was also charged with assaulting the arresting officer by spitting on him.
"Were the police engaged in the lawful execution of their duties when they demanded Mr. Chambers remain on the scene until he be served with a violation ticket for trespassing?" asked Judge Christine Lowe, as she outlined the legal issues raised by the case two weeks ago. "And further, were they entitled to regard his non-compliance as obstruction, justifying their arrest of him?"
At trial, Chambers admitted he was trespassing, Lowe said. He was in his sleeping bag in the alcove of 780 Fort St. with his belongings strewn about him on a Saturday afternoon.
A sign prohibiting camping, loitering, trespassing and soliciting was clearly visible on the door.
Two officers arrived and told Chambers he had to pack up and move. Chambers was asked for his name and date of birth. Because the officers assumed he was homeless, he was not asked to provide his address. His identification checked out, Lowe said.
Chambers was moving very slowly packing up his things. He had become agitated and confrontational. One of the officers told Chambers he was not free to leave because he would now be issued a violation ticket.
The officer went to his car to write it up, but became concerned when Chambers became more agitated. The other officer remained with Chambers and repeatedly told him he was not free to leave because he was getting a ticket, Lowe said.
But Chambers started walking east on Fort Street. The police officer followed, telling him he couldn't leave and warned him he would be arrested for obstruction, said Lowe.
Chambers pointed at him and said: "I can walk away." By this time he was yelling, red in the face and swearing.
The second officer, concerned for his partner's safety, got out of the police car and told Chambers he was under arrest. Chambers was placed in handcuffs.
He took a deep breath and spat at the police officer. He was taken to the ground. The officer who was spat on hit Chambers with a closed fist to the side of the head. Both officers subdued Chambers with knee strikes.
Crown prosecutor Kate Dutton argued that the officers were acting lawfully when they told Chambers he was not free to leave until they served him with the ticket.
Defence lawyer Chantelle Sutton argued that police do not have the statutory or common-law power to detain someone just to give them a violation ticket. The Trespass Act targets vulnerable people in the community and they have the same rights as others not to be arbitrarily detained or unlawfully arrested, she said.
The police could have arrested Chambers for trespassing but they didn't, noted Lowe. He was arrested only because he failed to remain to have the ticket served on him.
They could have served Chambers with the violation ticket at a later date or brought the matter before the court.
"Although a police officer has the general duty to enforce the bylaws and laws of the province, the fact remains that although they may serve a ticket immediately after the contravention, it is not necessary that they do so. I find, therefore, that in circumstances of this case, the interference of the accused's liberty was not necessary for the carrying out of the police duty," Lowe said.
The judge said it was regrettable that the underlying circumstances of the offence — a homeless man trespassing and facing a $115 fine — turned into a physical altercation between police and the accused.
It was clear both officers believed they had the authority to detain Chambers until he was served with the ticket, Lowe said. It was also clear that Chambers believed he was required to move but that he was not required to remain there.
"I concluded that in these circumstances, the police who had not arrested Mr. Chambers for trespassing, did not have the legal authority to force him to remain at the scene to be served with a ticket," Lowe said.
"Their attempt to arrest him for obstruction was, therefore, unlawful and he was entitled to resist his arrest as long as his actions were reasonable. … I find that his actions were reasonable in repelling his unlawful arrest, save and except his attempt to spit on the officer."
Chambers was acquitted of obstruction. He was convicted of assaulting the officer and sentenced to seven days in custody.

CUR Fellows Award Recognizes Excellence in Undergraduate Research
Singer and Osborn
© Singer and CUR
Washington, D.C. - The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) will be presenting Dr. Jeffrey M. Osborn, Dean of the School of Science at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), and Dr. Jill Singer, Professor and Director of the Office of Undergraduate Research at SUNY- Buffalo State, the 2016 CUR Fellows Award. The awards will be presented at the 2016 CUR Conference in June at the University of South Florida, Tampa, FL, www.cur.org/conferences_and_events/biennial2016/.
The biennial awards are presented to two individuals who have developed nationally-respected research programs involving undergraduate students. Each CUR Fellow's institution is also awarded a Brian Andreen-Student Research Fellowship that goes to support the awardee's undergraduate research colleagues at their respective institutions. "The CUR Fellows Award recognizes individuals who excel in teaching, scholarship, and mentoring of undergraduate students, and who provide leadership in the area of undergraduate research. The achievements of Dr. Singer and Dr. Osborn are very impressive—they have had a huge impact on undergraduate research both at their home institutions and at the national level. They truly exemplify the spirit of the CUR Fellows Award" affirmed Dr. Nadine Barlow, CUR Fellows Committee Chair and Professor and Associate Department Chair, Northern Arizona University. Adds CUR Executive Officer Dr. Elizabeth Ambos: "The marvelous achievements of Jill Singer and Jeff Osborn to the undergraduate research movement model solutions to one of higher education's deepest challenges: how to increase student, faculty, and institutional success, and build the quality of degrees our students receive."
For more than 30 years, plant biologist Jeffrey Osborn has been deeply invested in broadening participation of all students and faculty in undergraduate research, with a focus on access and inclusion. The impact of his dedication can be felt on his campus and at a national level, and he has been active in both National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health grant-funded programs to expand undergraduate research programs and build research infrastructure capacity. His leadership at TCNJ has transformed the learning environment weaving mentoring into the tenure and promotion process,attracting external funds, and creating an institutional culture centered around undergraduate research. The words of one colleague just scratch the surface of his impact "he not only promotes undergraduate research as a high--impact educational practice that makes a significant difference to student success, he epitomizes the ideal teacher--‐scholar who actively collaborates with undergraduates in research of high scientific merit and tangible professional outcomes."
Jill Singer has demonstrated a unique depth and breadth in contributions to the growth and improvement of undergraduate research. Instrumental in gaining funding to award hundreds of summer undergraduate research fellowships, student research projects and travel for students to present their work at professional conferences, she has also supported the work of faculty to transform over 40 courses to involve research, scholarship, or creative activity.With all of her accomplishments, however, perhaps the most revealing of Jill's impact is what students say "Jill is our lighthouse, and the waters are calm while she is shining,""Her encouragement, unwavering support, and dedication to her students is second to none," and "have had the opportunity to work with her in the laboratory, in the field, as well as in the classroom - working under her guidance in these venues has made me a better person and scientist."A long-time member of CUR's Geosciences Division,she has also been active in National Science Foundation projects to expand and assess undergraduate programs.
Council on Undergraduate Research: The Council on Undergraduate Research (www.cur.org) supports faculty and student development for high-quality undergraduate student-faculty collaborative research, scholarship, and creative activities. More than 700 institutions and over 10,000 individuals belong to CUR. CUR believes that the best way to capture student interest and create enthusiasm for a discipline is through research in close collaboration with faculty members.

The Evolution of Autocracy
All CDDRL Multimedia
c40ebosumaah3py.jpg
Globalization, shifting great power dynamics, and the growing accessibility of Internet and communication technology has changed the environment within which autocrats operate. Many analysts have noted these changes and concluded that the masses now hold the upper hand and that dictators' days are surely numbered. It may be true that 21st century autocrats face more and increasingly complex challenges to their rule. But current accounts of dictatorship seriously underestimate the adaptability of authoritarian systems. Since the end of the Cold War, dictators have evolved to survive and even thrive amid changes in their domestic and international environments. In this presentation, I examine the evolution of authoritarianism since the end of the Cold War. Since 1991 there have been substantial changes in the ways that dictators assume power, in the tactics they use to maintain power, and in the ways in which they lose power. Each of these changes has significant implications for the political dynamics in today's autocracies.

Boris Charmatz is one of the key protagonists in recent revolutions in modern dance. Born in 1973 in Chambéry, France, Charmatz made his first splash as a choreographer in 1993 with the radical duet À bras-le-corps, a co-creation with Dimitri Chamblas.
But it was his 2009 "Manifesto for a Dancing Museum" and the founding of the sui generis Musée de la danse in Rennes, France, that shot Charmatz to the center of global discussions on how dance might break through the ossification of its twentieth–century institutions—how dance of the twenty-first century might not simply persist, but thrive.
Featuring original essays, an interview, and a complete list of Charmatz's projects, this book is the first to explore the many facets of his career—as choreographer, writer, dancer, and founding director of the Musée de la danse.

When Louis Blake found himself homeless at age 15, he made his way to a shelter that works with homeless teens, which in turn referred him to Children's Home + Aid. Louis was initially served by the Comprehensive Community-Based Youth Services (CCBYS) program, which provided support for teens who are homeless. Sadly, the program that provided such critical and lifesaving support for Louis and hundreds of other homeless teens was suspended in February 2016 in Englewood as a result of the Illinois budget crisis. Louis has also participated in a Children's Home + Aid program called Project RISE that works with young men who have their first encounter with the criminal justice system, and the One Summer Chicago jobs program, funded by the City of Chicago.
For at-risk youth, jobs provide more than a paycheck; they provide a sense of purpose, an opportunity to succeed and a pathway to a brighter future. The Helping to Encourage Real Opportunity (HERO) for At-Risk Youth Act would encourage the business community to become a partner in addressing this crisis by hiring at-risk youth that reside in communities with high rates of poverty. Senator Durbin and Congresswoman Kelly also introduced the Creating Pathways for Youth Employment Act, which will make it easier for local governments and community organizations to apply for federal funding to create and expand summer and year-round employment programs for young people.
Louis, who turns 18 in a few weeks, is a senior in high school and on track to graduate in June. He is back living with his mom and very much wants to attend college to become an engineer, but worries about how he will afford it. Louis works four days a week marketing a Chicago Drill team program, providing child care in the evenings for parents attending support groups on the South Side, and helping out as a mentor with the Project RISE program where he got his start.

Way to go Louis, thank you for providing the youth voice at the press conference today!

In December 2021, legendary sports commentator Kwabena Yeboah made some revelations about his connections to the two major political parties and how he has on more than one occasion turned down political appointments.
On the StarrChat program, Kwabena Yeboah told an interesting story of how he rejected appointments from the Kufuor and Mills governments.
He was offered ministerial roles by the two presidents in the sector that he is generally accepted as an authority – sports- but Kwabena Yeboah turned them down due to his view that 'one needs not to occupy a political position to effect changes".
"In Africa especially, many people do not trust politicians because it is mind-boggling those personalities you knew a few years ago, enter politics and within a space of two – three – four years become millionaires.
"So, a lot of people think that if you are offered that position, you intend to go there and make some money," before adding that when then-President Kufuor offered him a deputy ministerial appointment, "I politely declined."
He added: "President Mills also offered the position of deputy sports minister and again, I politely declined."
For someone who turned down an appointment to contribute to a policy formulation and implementation capacity for the growth of Ghana sports, accepting political appointments especially one that falls outside the domain in which he cut his teeth is not something that one would have thought of.
Whiles, there is no record of such offerings under the Mahama government, the arrival of the Akufo-Addo administration appears to have re-worked the script when it comes to Kwabena Yeboah and political appointments.
In the first term of the Akufo-Addo government, he served as a board member of the Free Zones Board Authority.
On Thursday, January 27, 2022, he was sworn in as a board member of the Ghana Airports Company Limited, joining fellow journalist Paul Adom-Otchere who is the board chair of GACL.
Journalist with political appointment under Akufo-Addo
Kwabena Yeboah joins a growing list of media personalities who have been handed roles by President Akufo-Addo.
The list includes Elizabeth Ohene who heads the board of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), Paul Adom-Otchere who is the board chair of the Ghana Airports Company, Kwaku Sakyi Addo is with the Minerals Development Fund and Kwame Sefa Kayi is a member of the board of the National Petroleum Authority.
The others are Francis Kofi Nunoo from the Ministry of Transport; and Group Captain Cervase Wienaa.
The power and influence of Kwabena Yeboah
In a recent edition of the popular "what don't you know" quiz show, the quiz master posed a question that elicited interesting responses from the three participants.
The question was "who is the most popular sports commentator in Ghana's history?" Among the three participants was the celebrated radio and television personality Giovanni Caleb.
Giovanni Caleb who is definitely not unaware of the historical influence and popularity of Kwabena Yeboah named Joe Lartey as his most celebrated Ghanaian sports commentator.
His choice was shocking and strange to the quiz master who repeated the question perhaps with the hope of a different response from Caleb.
But Caleb was adamant that as far as sports commentary is concerned none comes close to Joe Lartey.
The quiz master ruled that his answer was incorrect and tossed the question around to the other two contestants, of which one quickly mentioned Kwabena Yeboah's name.
His answer was adjudged the right one and the acclamation from the audience was further validation of the decision by the quizmaster to flag as 'offside' the answer by Giovanni Caleb.
Such is the prestige and esteem with which most if not all Ghanaians hold the legendary Kwabena Yeboah.
To most people, Ghana has produced no better commentator than the great Kwabena Yeboah.
His remarkable exploits have seen him appear on the global stage as a commentator at the 2014 and 2018 World Cup tournaments. On the African continent, Kwabena Yeboah has run commentary on matches in the African Cup of Nations.
Here in Ghana, his record as the fine host of Sports Highlights on state broadcaster GTV and his overall authority with regards to sports issues are in no doubt. He is also the President of the Sports Writers Association of Ghana.

What training opportunities exist at CBIPA?
We offer seminars in CBT as well as individual and group supervision.
What is Emotional Health Hygiene (EHH)?
EHH is the purposeful manner of caring for one's daily emotional health needs. It is the equivalent of showering, shaving and brushing one's teeth specifically directed at our daily emotional well being.
Does your staff have any particular expertise?
Anger Management, Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Personality Disorders, ADHD, Conduct Disorder and coping with cancer (patients and caregivers).
Can therapists help with decisions about schools or practical matters regarding children?
Yes. Therapists are always there to offer perspectives and expertise.
What if a child doesn't want to enter into therapy but the school and/or family think it is necessary?
Parents have the final say, however, after meeting a therapist, a child will often reconsider. If there is more serious resistance, we work with the parents to overcome the obstacles.
When a minor is in therapy, does a parent have the right to know the specifics of what is discussed?
Parents are regularly a part of the child's treatment. Depending on the seriousness of the issues, family therapy sessions are conducted to provide clarification and resolution.
CBIPA accepts Medicare but DOES NOT accept Medicaid.
Is there a sliding scale?
While there is no formal sliding scale, fees range between $140 and $200 dependent upon clinician experience.
CBI Psych Associates accepts insurance. However, this varies by clinician.
Are clinicians reachable in the event of an emergency?
Clinicians maintain emergency contact numbers which can be used in the event of an after hours crisis.
Clinicians typically offer hours between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.
What kinds of things will I be asked to do in therapy?
CBT is based on learning theory. As such, it is very likely that you will be given homework assignments to augment the exposure work done in sessions.
Are patients referred to supplementary resources?
Reading material is commonly used to enhance one's basic understanding of his or her current symptomatology. Referrals to groups or 12 step programs are offered where appropriate.
Are telephone or online appointments possible?
The vast majority of appointments are face to face.
However, on occasion, where appropriate, telephone sessions may be provided. Online sessions are not considered to be as effective.
Appointments are 45 minutes in length.
Initial visits will focus on gathering information including the frequency, intensity, and duration of one's symptoms. This will be followed by a thorough psycho-education with the specific goal of teaching the skills necessary to ensure significant behavioral change. Application of these skills in combination with exposure therapy will follow.
CBT is based in learning theory. It is a here and now, data driven symptom-oriented approach. It is intended to be short term and effective within 12-16 sessions.
You can expect a review of our confidentiality policy followed by a thorough discussion of your background and history. There will be a review of presenting concerns as well as a clear delineation of what we can provide and what we cannot.
Can CBT be used when working with children?
Yes. However, with very young children, cognitive interventions (i.e. cognitive restructuring) may not be appropriate. As such, one can expect an emphasis on behavioral approaches (i.e. behavioral contracting or contingency management).
What are some common reasons children enter therapy?
Children are seen for a wide range of problems including school and family related issues. These may include school refusal, challenges in socialization, anxiety and grief.
Can CBT help in the elimination of the use of medications?
In cases where it is necessary to reduce or end psychopharmacological treatment (i.e. pregnancy) learning CBT techniques can be very helpful in making it possible to titrate off medications without the return of symptoms.
Do I have to take medications if pursuing CBT?
Not necessarily. However, research clearly indicates that the combination of therapy and medication offers the most robust positive outcome.
What is a yearly EHH checkup?
It is the equivalent of and as important as a yearly physical exam. It is a routine evaluation of healthy cognitive and personality development and emphasizes the early identification of potential cognitive and affective vulnerabilities.
What is included in our daily EHH?
Relaxation/meditation, exercise, self-acknowledgement, freedom from social comparisons and cognitive flexibility. We believe these are essential skills for children/adults and are aimed at reducing one's vulnerability to anxiety, depression and general stress.
What groups does CBIPA offer?
We offer various groups including OCD, Parenting, coping with cancer (pt./family) and Emotional Health Hygiene (EHH). Please call to see what groups are currently being offered.
Who do you treat at the Cognitive Behavioral and Integrative Psychology Associates (CBIPA)?
We treat individuals, couples and families (children/adults/seniors). We also offer group therapy and training seminars for parents and professionals.
How long is the typical course of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)?
Approximately 12-16 weeks (1x/week). However, given that CBT is based on learning theory, the length of the treatment is determined by the consistency and persistence of practice on the part of the patient.


We all have that friend or family member (or maybe this person is you!) that absolutely loves to cook. It doesn't matter what style of dish it is, or how long the process takes; the at-home chef is eager and willing to give it a try.
But more often than not, cooking – whether experimental or just whipping up tried and true standbys – inspires messes of epic proportions in the kitchen. A lot of the products we then use to clean up those food splatters and accidental spills, even the rare case of broken glass or ceramic, are recyclable until they come into contact with food products. Then it gets harder for most recycling centers to properly break down those materials in order to reuse them. In addition to recycling all that you can, you and your culinary-minded friends could use a few neat ways we've found will help cut down on the waste you make while you cook!
You've heard it before; keeping reusable containers around the kitchen can not only mean less plastic going into landfills, but also less hassle and cost for you. But eco-friendly receptacles for leftovers don't have to end at Tupperware products. Many at-home cooks are also investing in glassware for storing their meals, and even find pieces that can be used in keeping entire dinners for more than one fresh and ready to be reheated at a later date. So go ahead, cook up a storm when the mood strikes – sustainable container options make it easier than ever for you to have fresh feasts at any time of day, and without putting further strain on the planet.
Every chef's least favorite part of cooking is the aftermath, but cleaning up is just a part of getting to make a mess while you create in the kitchen. Rather than reach for paper towels, try using some washable cloths for some of the more manageable mishaps. Paper towels are convenient for tossing in with the garbage, especially when messes consist of liquids and other more difficult to clean residues. But when your wreckage involves more dry goods, try using a cloth that you can add to your laundry basket and cut down the number of paper towels you go through; your planet and your wallet will thank you!
Every chef is different; some prefer to clean as they go, while others would rather make their messes and worry about tidying up when the meal is finished. Whichever method you prefer when cooking at home, be sure to use resources like water and paper products sparingly. If you time your clean-up sessions to be the most effective and to consume fewer resources that may or may not be recyclable by the time you're through with them, then you can save yourself extra effort as well as keep a sustainable pattern in your cooking routine.
Cooking can be a great communal experience, so why not get everyone on board with an eco-friendly system, too? If you're willing to try a new recipe with off-the-wall ingredients, then using a few of these tips to make your kitchen a greener environment should be like cracking an egg. Stay tuned to our blog for more!

Khamenei.ir
Perpetrators and supporters of the genocide in Gaza should be put on trial: Imam Khamenei
What the leaders of the Zionist regime are doing today is genocide and a great historical catastrophe. The perpetrators and supporters of these crimes should be put on trial and punished on an international level. Their punishment is what people's representatives and righteous and sympathetic personalities in the world should request.
With the passing of 65 years since the establishment of this murderous Zionist regime and the various ups and downs in this important and sensitive issue, and particularly with the bloody events of the past year, two realities have become clear for all.
The first reality is that the Zionist regime and its criminal supporters recognize no limit or boundaries regarding viciousness, cruelty and trampling underfoot all human and ethical standards. Crimes, genocide, mass destruction, the killing of children, women and the shelter-less and any violation and oppression that they can commit, they not only make permissible for themselves, but more so, they take pride in.
The second reality is that this disaster and calamity has not led to the results that the leaders and supporters of that murderous regime wanted. Contrary to the idiotic dreams of power and stability for this regime that the filthy officials of the Zionist regime dream, day-by-day this regime has moved closer to implosion and annihilation.
The 50-day resistance of besieged and shelterless people of Gaza in the face of the full capabilities of the Zionist regime, and the resulting incapability and retreat of that regime and its surrender to the conditions of the resistance- is a clear example of that regime's weakness, incapacity and hollowness.
All of this means: the people of Palestine have to be more hopeful than ever before, the fighters of Jihad and Hamas have increase their efforts, purpose and work, the West Bank has to intensify the continual path of glory towards power and steadfastness, the Muslim peoples have to demand real and serious support of Palestine from their governments and Muslim governments have to take sincere steps in this path.
The third priority and important matter is the wise view that activists who wish well for the world of Islam have to take, regarding the difference between pure "Mohammadean Islam" and "American Islam". They have to caution themselves and others from confusing these two with each another. Our magnanimous Imam (ra) was the first to point out the difference between these two and entered it into the political lexicon of the Islamic world.
Pure Islam is the Islam of tolerance and spirituality, the Islam of piety and democracy, the Islam of being "forceful against the unbelievers, merciful towards the believers"
What we can see in front of our eyes today is the events of Gaza and Palestine. Why do Zionist aggressors give themselves the right to attack a Muslim country in a way that the heart of any viewer in the world is filled with sorrow and sympathy? Do they do this just because they have destructive weapons, airplanes, missiles, bombs, explosives and gunpowder?
You witnessed the demonstrations in western countries. Of course, people in western countries became aware of these events as much as the hidden censorship apparatuses allowed them. The hidden censorship apparatuses do not allow people to become aware of the truth. The truth is much more bitter and much more tragic than what the western media networks allow to be reflected about the issues of Gaza. Despite this, you can witness that even this level of awareness is shaking the hearts of people in those countries that know nothing about Islam. The event of Gaza is so bitter and heartbreaking.
But today, the world of Islam does not have the power to react to and stop this transgression and savagery and the blood-thirsty desire of the Zionists. This is why the people of Gaza are alone. Not only do arrogant powers - who are happy about the presence of Zionism in the heart of the Middle East region in order to pursue imperialist goals in this way - not support the oppressed, but they also support the oppressor with complete shamelessness. It is the responsibility of the world of Islam to do something in this regard.
Statements made in meeting with government officials and the ambassadors of Islamic countries; July 29, 2014
And they should not escape punishment with the passage of time. They should be punished, whether they are in power or when they lose their power and are overthrown. Both the perpetrators of these crimes and those who are openly supporting them - you have heard and seen the news about their support - should be punished.

Almost all large enterprises use ERP systems for managing and optimizing enterprise-wide business processes. ERP systems like Oracle E-Business Suite are mission-critical for most enterprises and figure prominently in considerations for planning an enterprise cloud migration. Oracle EBS provides businesses of all sizes, across all industry verticals and regions with a global business foundation that increases productivity and reduces costs through a portfolio of rapid value solutions, integrated business processes, and industry-focused solutions. Oracle EBS has a three-tier architecture consisting of client, application, and database (DB) tiers.
What does the Oracle E-Business Suite give you?
Oracle EBS includes the company's enterprise resource planning (ERP) product as well as supply chain management (SCM) and customer relationship management (CRM) applications. Each application is licensed separately enabling organizations to select the combination best suited for their business processes. The industry-specific solutions supplied by Oracle substantially reduce time and resources required in solution implementation and provide organizations with configured business processes that will improve overall effectiveness.
Businesses can effectively and efficiently manage their supplier network from qualification to assessment and optimize their supply base and mitigate the risk with Supplier Lifecycle Management. With Oracle EBS you can increase the productivity and effectiveness of your business and also monitor and manage Oracle EBS system environments by combining both system management functions and change management from a single console with the Application Management Pack.
Businesses can streamline their upgrade projects and improve business process effectiveness with advanced control solutions like Oracle Governance, Risk, and Compliance Management. Businesses can also achieve fast time-to-value by reducing deployment time and lowering overall total cost of ownership with the analytics seamlessly integrated to transaction systems. They deploy where there's value, gain experience with Fusion applications, lower risk deployment, and minimize the impact on existing processes by implementing a co-existence strategy.
Cloud adoption among enterprises is rapidly growing, with many adopting a cloud-first strategy for new projects and migrating their existing systems. Oracle promotes a co-existence or hybrid model that enables you to complement and augment your current Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), by adopting Oracle's cloud platform. Oracle Cloud ERP, formerly known as Fusion, is Oracle's next-generation suite of business applications including human capital management, financial management, CRM, procurement, supply chain management, governance, and project portfolio management.
In the past, running Oracle EBS on the Oracle technology stack on premises was the only choice for Oracle EBS customers. Oracle now has expanded the deployment model to include running Oracle EBS on the same Oracle technology stack but in Oracle Cloud. The cloud has become a central focus for Oracle, which already offers a comprehensive set of cloud solutions. The main reasons to move to a cloud computing environment are business agility, high efficiency, scalability along with significant cost reductions and support for business growth. However, many Oracle customers, including Oracle E-Business Suite customers, continue to run their applications on-premises or in a private cloud and have a significant stake in protecting this investment.
Within the Oracle EBS ecosystem, customers and partners commonly maintain multiple EBS instances – sometimes isolated, sometimes integrated. The hybrid deployment model is gaining prominence because the same architecture, same standards, and same products are used to put Oracle technology stack in the cloud as are used to deploy it on premises. What this means that workloads can be migrated relatively easily between an on-premises instance and Oracle Cloud. Having the ability to run the same Oracle EBS applications on the same technology stack either on-premises or in Oracle Cloud, you can capitalize on the benefits of each deployment type by using the optimal model for each purpose. With a hybrid cloud solution for Oracle EBS, you can fine-tune how efficiency, agility, and innovation meet choice and control.
Oracle E-Business Suite cloud deployments provide an array of benefits, both from an IT and a business perspective. The most significant benefits of cloud computing, as often touted in the marketplace, are support for growth, enhanced business agility, lower costs, and risk.
When your business grows, the growth, in turn, drives the need to expand capacity for running your Oracle EBS footprint and the surrounding ecosystem. Business growth may require the addition of more users, new functionalities, new business processes, support for additional departments and expansion to new places or even countries. Running Oracle EBS on cloud enables you to subscribe to the surge capacity needed for new projects without bothering about data center space, capital purchases of new servers and storage, and additional system administration labor. Businesses can simply subscribe to the additional capacity needed, as and when required.
Oracle's EBS continues to deliver innovations via yearly release-wide updates until the next major release. An advantage of running Oracle EBS in Oracle Cloud is that businesses can stay current with the innovations in the application and more readily uptake new capabilities to support themselves, without waiting for the acquisition of new infrastructure for test and development environments. Businesses can discover and test new features and new products by quickly provisioning the latest Oracle EBS release from Oracle Cloud Marketplace and test the new features and new products on a cloned copy of Oracle EBS. They can streamline upgrades and leverage the cloud for Oracle EBS upgrades and updates.
Oracle Cloud deployment provides an opportunity to lower your costs and risk in three ways.
You can take advantage of the Oracle economies of scale. When you need to deploy new capacity, or you have obsolete equipment in your data center, one can take advantage of Oracle's ability to economically scale up capacity which costs less than maintaining your data center and working at the scale of an individual company.
The second way you can save money is through a cost-effective system management. The Managed Cloud Services (OMCS) group can manage and run the system at a very competitive price.
Deployment on Oracle Cloud is about reducing the operational risk related issues. If your system is run and managed by people whose expertise is running and managing Oracle EBS and hence the likelihood of error is much lower than it is if your staff has to undergo the same learning curve just for your business. So, staff could be focusing on core business competencies while letting Oracle deliver the technical expertise.
A cloud subscription plan with a surge capacity is a cost-effective choice, allowing you to both tailor resources to your existing workload and to accommodate any growth requirements you may have. Fundamentally, cloud deployment helps you to lower costs and accelerate development, testing, and training. The need to maintain your hardware and infrastructure is not there anymore, and you have instant access to the latest products and features. A true advantage indeed.

We don't owe Union Bank — Ontario Oil
'There was no case of fraudulent diversion' Lawyer insist
By Yinka Ajayi
Following the order issued by Justice Hadiza Shagari of the Federal High Court ordering Union Bank to de froze some account, the management of Ontario Oil and Gas Limited has denied any fraudulent sale of refined petroleum products, as alleged by Union Bank Plc.
Speaking on monday, Ben Udoh counsel to Ontario described the order as "hurriedly" procured ex parte application filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
"The matter of a commercial transaction between her and the bank which dates back to 2014.
"Indeed, we approached Union Bank in 2014 for an $11 million facility. A letter of Credit (LC ) was issued same year but was amended to $9.9 million in May 2015. The said sum ($9.9)was paid to the supplier, Petrocam Trading Limited.
"Contrary to impressions created by Union Bank, there was no case of fraudulent diversion and conversion of proceeds as alleged. We would like to confirm on good authority that the products were duly imported and sold in the open market," Udoh said.
He added, "Total proceeds from the transaction was N1.9billion, and in line with our offer letter and best practice, same amount was provided for. The management of Union Bank was subsequently advised to bid for appropriate foreign exchange to discharge the LC.
"Unfortunately, Union Bank, for reasons best known to them, failed to heed several exchanges for the liquidation of the debt which Ontario diligently dealt with within the 60-day expiration of the facility."
Speaking further, he regretted that "Union Bank had unwittingly shot itself on the foot by its failure to register the Form M with Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), nearly 8 months after, which made it difficult for them to successfully bid for forex to tidy up the transaction."
"Finally, we are surprised that the ex parte order which targeted Ontario Oil and Gas Limited was used to seize the assets of The Renoire Logistics which is an independent entity with no similar directors or ownership. Union Bank failed to transparently manage this transaction and should blame itself for allowing the devaluation of the Naira to hurt its interests.
"We do not owe Union Bank. All proceeds arising from the transaction has been fully redeemed. Any differential is as a result of devaluation of the Naira. Ontario would do everything legal to vacate the ex parte application," Mr Udoh noted.

Q: Executing shell commands with javascript I know it's not possible to execute shell commands on the clients browser via js.But I was wondering if it's possible if in the client side is not a browser instead an application that just fetchs webpages?
thanks for your time guys!

A: The best would be to use a nodejs app
Node can be used to run javascript for everything in your computer, so, answering your question, you could, say, make an aplication that fetches webpages and run selected commands in the code that would be rejected by the browser.
But, if actually your goal is to just use javascript like a general use interpreted language (like say, python), you can just use js with node normally (ie, make your foo.js file and run from command line node ./foo.js
You can also use it as a server for web applications

On 16 October 1944, USS Nashville sailed from Manus, Papua New Guinea, as the flagship for American General Douglas MacArthur, the Supreme Allied Commander of the Southwest Pacific Area. USS Nashville landed MacArthur on the island of Leyte in the Philippines on 20 October as the American Army was beginning its push to retake the island. Nashville remained on station until 25 October, providing cover for the troops on the beaches and the nearby transports.

"Grant powers over land and police to provinces," says Sri Lankan constitutional panel
Home Around South Asia Sri Lanka
in Sri Lanka
Colombo, November 21 (The New Indian Express): The Sri Lankan Constitutional Assembly's sub-committee on Center-Provincial relations has recommended that the provinces be granted powers over land and police; that the powers of the provincial Governor be drastically pruned, and that there be a fair allocation of financial resources to the provinces along with powers to decide how to spend the money.
As a matter of fact, the 13 th.Amendment of the constitution carried out in 1987 following the India-Sri Lanka Accord, had devolved powers over land and police to the provinces. But this was not implemented.
The constitution sub-committee under the chairmanship of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) MP, D.Siddharthan, has now recommended that all State Land (or government lands) in a province should come under the purview of the provincial administration though the Central government may requisition land for the propose of executing projects on matters under the Central List.
Likewise, the police in a province should come under the Provincial Administration and they should be regulated by a Provincial Police Commission (again as stipulated under the unimplemented 13 th Amendment).
The sub-committee said that the Concurrent List should be abolished and that there should only be a Provincial List and a Reserved (Central) List to avoid confusion and arrogation of powers by the Center.
The panel wants the provincial Governor to go entirely by the advice of the Chief Minister and his Board of Ministers and not be an agent of the Center which, he or she is, now. The power to control the provincial officers and determine what statutes should be passed by the Provincial Council should be taken away from the Governor.
Since only one of the nine provinces of Sri Lanka (namely the Western Province) is financially sound, the Center should not only give adequate funds to the provinces but also leave it to the provinces to decide how the funds should be spent. At present, the Center not only allocates the funds, but also specifies in detail how they should be spent. Though there is a Finance Commission to determine allocations to the provinces, the President often over-rules its recommendations. The panel has sought an independent Finance Commission with representatives of the provinces in it.
At present there is a stipulation that provincial schemes should conform to the relevant National Policy. The sub-committee has recommended that the provinces should be given the right to participate in the formulation of a National Policy.
The sub-committee has skirted the controversial issue as to whether Center-Provincial relations should be based on the federal or the unitary model. While the minority Tamils have been agitating for a federal constitution, the majority Sinhalese want the present unitary system to continue. The sub-committee's recommendations envisage devolution of power but without labeling the overall scheme as either federal or unitary.

This morning's post is one I am looking at for my own personal use, but of course I want to share it on the Coffee Talk blog as well! I am looking at purchasing the Kyocera Ceramic Coffee Grinder. Now, some people might instantly say; "Why would you want a manual grinder? Why not just use your electric?"
Lots of reasons! First, the electric grinders are loud. When it's 6:00 in the morning and you have family members sleeping, some of the electric versions sound like a jet plane in your kitchen. Over the years I would either try to remember to grind the beans right before I went to bed so they would ready (therefore not really being 'freshly' ground 10 hours later when I made my coffee) or, I would wrap our electric model grinders in a kitchen towel to muffle the sound. Even so, it's louder than you want to be.
Second; camping. Yes, even those of us who enjoy roughing it in a tent in the woods love our morning coffee with freshly ground beans. Heck, my husband will tell you that early morning coffee is his favorite part of camping.
Third: power outage. Snowstorms, high winds, thunderstorms, car wrecks that take out the power pole near your home. We've been without power for a week at a time but no worries if you are prepared. A hand grinder and a coffee press? You're good to go. Hand grinder and campfire or gas stove and camp coffee pot? Again, good to go.
Fourth: Are you a prepper? Have you thought about how to get your morning coffee if you are storing beans in mylars in buckets with 02 packets but have no way to grind them?
A great multi-purpose tool, this grinder prepares fresh coffee (or salt, pepper, green tea, and even sesame seeds). It is designed with a ceramic grinding mechanism that will never alter the flavor of the grinds, resulting in fresh, flavorful, and pure ingredients.
The special ceramic is an advanced ceramic close in hardness to diamond, so it will never rust and will provide a long useful life. The grinder is adjustable from fine to coarse, and the non-slip rubber base ensures stability on the counter. Some people also find it easier to simply hold the grinder between their knees as they sit. The reusable glass container can store up to 100 grams of coffee grinds and is dishwasher safe. Other parts need cleaning with a neutral detergent and soft sponge.

Valley Musicians Share Memories of 20 Favorite Hollywood Alley Shows
Benjamin Leatherman August 31, 2013 10:53AM
Floater (2004) One of my favorite bands ever was Floater from Eugene, Oregon. If I was a player, that's how I would play. -- Ross Wincek, owner, Hollywood Alley
Jeff Dahl's 50th Birthday Blast (2005) There are so many good shows. My 50th birthday show we had done there and that was the night we got the [Slash City] Daggers all back in town to reunite and that was really magical. Those guys were a band that were this far from being world class. I thought they were on the verge of taking over the world if they just stayed together. They came together and did that reunion show, that was incredible. I was lucky about that one. -- Dahl
For [Jeff's] 50th birthday, he requested that I sing the Alice Cooper song "18." That was like a wonderful experience because I love that guy to death and I have a lot of respect for him. -- Jamie Monistat VII, vocalist, Blanche Davidian

The Summer vacationers are a common occurrence in Nantucket. For the year-round residents, it's when the majority of their business occurs and when the crazy neighbors come and go, but are overall not a heavy impact on their regular lives. After a childhood of being shuffled from one family member to another, Darcy Cotterill was sent to live with her grandmother in Nantucket when she was ten. Years after her divorce to the husband that swept her off her feet into what had looked like the ideal family only to discover there is no such thing, Darcy has finally settled once again into the house she lived in with her grandmother.
She loves her life as a children's librarian at the Nantucket library, spending Sundays with her closest friends, Mondays in her grandmother's garden and every free moment she can manage with the new man in her life. But this summer has some hidden twists that she is not expecting. Her summer neighbors this year are an elderly woman, who reminds her of her grandmother, and her grandson, a young couple with three rambunctious boys, and none other than her ex-husband and his new wife and step-daughter.
It's unavoidable to stay separated from her neighbors this year when she overhears her ex-husband's fourteen-year-old stepdaughter being coaxed into doing heroin by a local boy, her elderly neighbor collapses in her yard and the harried young mother seeks helps when she has her hands full. Oh, and there's the attraction to the neighbor's grandson, a musicologist taking a leave of absence from his life to give his grandmother the summer of memories she was looking for.
Nancy Thayer creates a lovely story of everyday life at the beach intertwined with the unexpected impact people can have on your life, whether you know them for one summer or much longer. Although this is not a complicated read it is an enjoyable and lighthearted journey about the decisions and mistakes that people make. An easy addition for your summer beach reading needs. Plus, Ms. Darcy Cotterill is a Librarian and who doesn't like librarians?

The CLS wrote design history - and it has done it again. Thanks to the tilted front of the vehicle, extremely slim headlamps and a sporty radiator grille, it writes the next chapter.
Ambience lighting featuring 64 colours impressively stages the expressively luxurious interior: for the first time also with illuminated air vents.
Captivates your senses, with its own senses.
Experience safety and comfort in a new dimension: with MULTIBEAM LED headlamps including ULTRA RANGE high beam.
The MULTIBEAM LED option allows extremely fast and precise adaptation of the headlamps to the prevailing road and traffic conditions.
The light is always directed to precisely where it is needed via 84 individually controllable LEDs. A total of four control units calculate the ideal light pattern 100 times per second using information from a camera behind the windscreen. The distinctive LED rear lamps are almost minor works of art in their own right. Edge Light technology ensures a high-quality visual appearance with an impression of depth.
The parking package with 360° camera and active parking assistant with PARKTRONIC makes it easier to find and select a parking space as well as to park and park in longitudinal and transverse parking spaces or garages. Four networked cameras enable a realistic image on the display of the multimedia system.
The system makes it possible to drive permanently with the high beam switched on without dazzling other road users. The function is active from 30 kmph on streets without street lighting. For the best possible visibility, the auxiliary high beam ULTRA RANGE high beam is available.
In combination with continuously variable damper control, the AIR BODY CONTROL multi-chamber air suspension system provides top-class ride comfort and driving dynamics. The damping system adjusts to the specific driving and road conditions at each wheel. This is done rapidly and precisely using separate valves for the compression and rebound of the dampers. The passengers enjoy a basic suspension that is soft and, as the speed increases, a secure feeling from the high level of driving stability. A stiffening of the spring response, for instance on bends or when braking, effectively reduces rolling movements. Via DYNAMIC SELECT, the AIR BODY CONTROL function allows a choice of three levels: "Comfort", "Sport" and "Sport +", for a more comfortable ride or a sportier style of driving. The pneumatic all-round self-levelling system, meanwhile, keeps the vehicle's level constant, irrespective of the load it is carrying. At speeds above 138 km/h the suspension is automatically lowered by 15 mm, helping to reduce aerodynamic drag and further improve handling stability.

EARLSWOOD is renowned for its picturesque lakes and popular countryside pubs, but it also boasts Earlswood Nurseries in Forshaw Heath Road near to the village's train station.
A Silhillian born and bred, I've visited the lakes and pubs in Earlswood on numerous occasions, but I was surprised as an avid gardener to discover that there was also a garden centre in its midst.
It has an extensive range of giftware and specialised gardening and outdoor produce from fencing, summer hanging baskets, bedding plants, trees, plants and shrubs to garden ornaments and pots all within an unspoilt shopping environment.
Massarella's, a coffee shop chain first established in 1860 has an outlet within the garden centre. With its own al fresco dining terrace, this establishment offers a wide selection of light bites including jacket potatoes (£4.25), baguettes (£3.45) and cold sandwiches (from £3.25) and hot dishes including homemade food freshly cooked on the premises.
The menu varies daily, and for those wanting something a little different there is a specials board available.
New homemade products for the summer include tortilla wraps (£3,25), hot dog with onions, chips and fizzy drink (£4.75), quiches, pasta, rice salads, meat salads, sausage rolls and breakfast pasties. From the homemade menu (all £5.75) we opted for freshly battered cod and a traditional chicken dinner, but could have been persuaded to try the cottage pie, vegetarian lasagne, spaghetti bolognaise, beef chilli, chicken balti/tikka, whole tail scampi, or pie of the day.
Our meals were promptly served to the table, and for afters I chose a generous slice of cherry bakewell blitz (£2.20) while my husband selected the apple pie (£2.20).
The restaurant offers a comprehensive list of takeaway food (with 20 per cent off). Special offers include senior citizens day on Thursday. Children eat free Monday - Friday when two meals are purchased. After 2.30pm afternoon tea with jam/clotted cream scone is just £2.25 and scampi, chips and peas (£3.99), toasted teacake and pot of tea (£1.99) and panini and hot drink (£3.95).
There is also an afternoon raffle for every paying customer to be entered to win one hot meal and drink (drawn every Monday). This was our first visit to the garden centre, but it most definitely will not be our last. For information call 01564 702314 (www.earlswoodnurseries.co.uk).

Q: Lucene Tokenizer deprecated The following Analyzer extension has a number of deprecated sub classes. What are the non-deprecated replacements? For StandardTokenizer, StandardFilter, LowerCaseFilter, and StopFilter -- as used below.
public class PorterAnalyzer extends Analyzer {

  private final Version version;

  public PorterAnalyzer(Version version) {
    this.version = version;
  }

  @Override
  @SuppressWarnings("resource")
  protected TokenStreamComponents createComponents(String fieldName, Reader reader) {
    final StandardTokenizer src = new StandardTokenizer(version, reader);
    TokenStream tok = new StandardFilter(version, src);
    tok = new LowerCaseFilter(version, tok);
    tok = new StopFilter(version, tok, StandardAnalyzer.STOP_WORDS_SET);
    tok = new PorterStemFilter(tok);
    return new TokenStreamComponents(src, tok);
  }

}

A: Just lose the version arguments.

I assume you are using Lucene version 4.10, or something in that general vicinity.  The constructors with version arguments for all of these have been deprecated (and removed, as of version 5.0), and replaced with constructors that do not take that argument.
public class PorterAnalyzer extends Analyzer {
  @Override
  @SuppressWarnings("resource")

    tok = new LowerCaseFilter(tok);
    tok = new StopFilter(tok, StandardAnalyzer.STOP_WORDS_SET);
    tok = new PorterStemFilter(tok);
    return new TokenStreamComponents(src, tok);

NOTE: This identification guide is best viewed in landscape orientation on mobile devices.
A variant called VISION WHITE, or "White Vision", was produced in France circa 1988. It was mainly sold in Europe, though there is some evidence it was retailed in Canada as well. It is rare, but occasionally turns up, on the second hand market in the USA.
VISION WHITE is made out of an opaque version of Pyroceram commonly used for Pyroflam or Corning Ware. The temperature the vessel is exposed to during the ceramming process dictates the translucency of the final product. In this case, the VISION cookware is cerammed until the Pyroceram turns white as opposed to transparent amber. This line is similar to the VISIONS saucepans and skillets sold in the USA but is made using French VISION molds and features its own unique decorative patterns.
NOTE: As this was a European release it was sold under the "VISION" name rather than the "VISIONS" trademark used in the USA at the time. Some plain VISION WHITE skillets were apparently sold under the "VISION DECO" line, as well.
Select a thumbnail to enlarge the image.
VISION WHITE was produced in at least three decorations. A plain white version was also available.
VISION WHITE saucepans were available in sizes ranging from 0.7L up to a 2.5L work horse… The 1.5L saucepan is notable for featuring a pour spout that is missing from USA models of that size.
These 0.7 Liter saucepans with lip are ideal for making sauces, gravies, melting butter, and cooking smaller portions. Perfect for serving on top of a warmer at the table.
Circa 1988, this 0.7 Liter saucepan with lip is ideal for making sauces, melting butter, and cooking smaller portions. This was sold without an available lid (Though the glass cover from a small "Grab It" bowl will fit).
These 1 liter saucepans are perfect for heating ready-to-serve soup or vegetables, up to 2 or 3 servings.
"1.0L White Saucepan + Knob Cover Lid"
Circa 1988, this 1.0L saucepan came with a 16cm clear glass cover.
"1.5L White Saucepan + Knob Cover Lid"
Circa 1988, this 1.5L saucepan came with a 18cm clear glass cover. Typical of European models, but unlike those sold in the USA, this saucepan features a pour spout.
These 2.5 liter saucepans are ready for serious duty in the kitchen. Cook potatoes, carrots, other vegetables for up to 6 servings.
"2.5L White Saucepan + Knob Cover Lid"
Circa 1988, this 2.5L saucepan came with a 20cm clear glass cover.
Though only one size of cook pot was available in the VISION WHITE line, the 2.5 L is equally at home as casserole or sauce pot.
"2.5L Casserole + Knob Cover Lid"
This cook pot features the same easy-to-grip, rounded handles as seen on French-made VISION casseroles… It came with a 20cm clear glass cover.
The VISION WHITE line offered 9"/24cm and 10"/26cm skillets. These skillets feature a unique "waffle" texture on the interior bottom. The lower areas of the design act as reservoirs to hold oil/butter more evenly across the width of the vessel resulting in more uniform cooking.
These 9 inch/24cm skillets are the perfect for morning bacon and eggs, pork chops, hamburgers, and browning other meats.
Circa 1988, this 24cm skillet was sold without a cover.
These roomy 10"/26cm skillets will handle large omelets, steaks, and other family sized meals.
"26cm White Frypan + Knob Cover Lid"
Circa 1988, this 26cm skillet was originally sold with a 26cm clear glass cover.
These 9 inch sauté pans are the ultimate Visions vessel for browning chicken and slowly cooking other meats, fish, and vegetables to perfection. Great for saucy or water-based cooking. The ideal depth to hold lots of chicken plus the required oil to fry to a crisp brown. Large, family-size, capacity is also great for browning roasts and stove-top braising.
"24cm "Chicken Fryer" Sauté Pan"
This sauté pan is a bit of a mystery. Unlike other VISION WHITE pieces that date to the late 1980's, there are several details which indicate this was produced much later.
The location and marking, in addition to the pebbled texture on the exterior base of the pan, seemingly date this to the mid-1990's. The place of manufacture is notably missing, as well.
It is currently unknown whether this was sold with a glass cover.

Here's why new EPA chief Pruitt is 'absolutely wrong' about CO2 and climate change
Scott Pruitt says there's no proof that carbon dioxide pollution is causing the Earth to heat up. Well-established science — and a scientist who's a fellow Republican — says that's flat-out wrong.
