Tiny plastic pellets found on 73% of UK beaches
Great Winter Nurdle Hunt finds thousands of pellets used in plastic production washed up on shorelines around country

Thu 16 Feb 2017 19.01 EST
A search of hundreds of beaches across the UK has found almost three-quarters of them are littered with tiny plastic pellets.
The lentil-size pellets known as "nurdles" are used as a raw material by industry to make new plastic products.
But searches of 279 shorelines from Shetland to Scilly revealed that 205 (73%) contained pellets.
The largest number recorded in the Great Winter Nurdle Hunt weekend in early February were found at Widemouth Bay in Cornwall, where 33 volunteers from the Widemouth Task Force collected about 127,500 pellets on a 100-metre stretch of beach.
Thousands of the tiny pellets were spotted by volunteers over a short period in locations from Porth Neigwl in Wales to the shoreline in front of the dunes at Seaton Carew near Hartlepool, County Durham, and after stormy conditions on the Isle of Wight.
More than 600 volunteers took part in the hunt organised by Fidra, the Scottish environmental charity, in collaboration with the Environmental Investigation Agency, Fauna and Flora International, Greenpeace, the Marine Conservation Society and Surfers Against Sewage.
The lightweight nurdles can escape into the environment at various points during their manufacture, transport or use, spilling into rivers and oceans or getting into drains where they are washed out to sea. It is thought that billions are lost in the UK each year.

Nurdles are one of the main sources of primary microplastics – small pieces of plastic that have not come from larger items broken down into little bits – in European seas and can cause damage to wildlife.
Experts say they soak up chemical pollutants from their surroundings and then release the toxins into the animals, such as birds and fish, that eat them.
Results from the hunt will be fed into the government's consultation on microplastics, which is looking at ways of tackling the problem.
Madeleine Berg, projects officer at Fidra, said she was delighted so many nurdle hunters braved the winter weather to take part.
"The information we've gathered will be vital to show the government that pellets are found on beaches all around the UK and, importantly, that so many people care about the issue.
"Simple precautionary measures can help spillages and ensure nurdles do not end up in our environment. We are asking the government to ensure best practice is in place along the full plastic supply chain, and any further nurdle pollution is stopped."
Fidra has been working with the UK plastics industry since 2012 to promote best practice to end further pellet pollution.
View Fidra's interactive map to see where nurdle pollution has been found across the UK in the past few years.


Can anyone help supply information regarding where I can have a Demo SMT board manufactured with BGA, QFP,Discretes,SOIC,etc. I am looking to prepare these Demo boards with standard defects. Any suggestions out there?
Remarkable.Great help to my learning.

Brutal first-half stat sums up Ben Simmons' tough night in Sixers loss
[jwplayer E9D4R2Kz-z6KDnl0B]
There's no way to sugarcoat the struggles for Philadelphia 76ers during Tuesday night's loss to the Toronto Raptors. But the one number which jumps out in a big way is turnovers, and specifically the 11 from Ben Simmons.
The reigning NBA Rookie of the Year has been superb to start the season, but any instance when a key offensive member has double-digit turnovers will make it tough to walk away with a victory. This especially stands true against one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.
Although Simmons scored 11 points with 10 assists and eight rebounds, his turnovers took center stage. And as Sixers Wire's own Josh Paredes revealed, he actually had more giveaways in the first half than the entire Raptors team.
Good fight by the #Sixers in the 4th quarter, but Ben Simmons turning the ball over more than the #Raptors in the first half (7-6) is tough to recover from. Expecting a bounce-back game from him on Thursday.
— Josh Paredes (@Josh810) October 31, 2018
This number played a big role in the Sixers falling behind 67-53 at the break and having to battle their way back in the second half. Although Philly managed to cut the lead to six points with over three minutes left in the game, they were unable to get closer than that in the 129-112 loss.
Tuesday's loss was the definition of an outlier for Simmons, who averaged 3.4 turnovers per game last year and had three or fewer in six of the team's first seven games this season.

Essential oils are often used as fragrances in cleaning products, but they are also effective natural cleaners. Many essential oils are antibacterial and antiseptic, and they can be used as natural disinfectants and deodorizing agents. Lemon, pine, peppermint, and tea tree oils remove bacteria and add a fresh scent to home cleaning solutions – mix them with warm water or add a few drops of essential oil to a natural cleaning product for extra disinfecting power and fragrance.
Lemon essential oil is antiseptic and antibacterial, and has a refreshing scent. Lemon oil is also deodorizing, which means that it is ideal for getting rid of any unpleasant odors, and it is an effective natural cleaner for greasy surfaces.
Pine essential oil is a familiar fragrance. Many commercially available cleaning products are pine-scented – sometimes with actual pine oil, sometimes with synthetic pine fragrance. A few drops of pine essential oil in your cleaning product/water creates a much more natural pine scent.
Tea tree oil is antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal – an ideal natural disinfectant for surfaces in the bathroom and in the kitchen. Because of its antifungal properties, tea tree oil is great for bathrooms that suffer from mold – it fights the mold/mildew and leaves a clean scent in the bathroom.
Peppermint essential oil is antibacterial and it also keeps mice, cockroaches and other unwanted house guests away. Add it to household cleaning solutions, or use a couple of drops of peppermint oil in a few cups of warm water to wipe floors and other surfaces. Fresh peppermint leaves or a few drops of the essential oil help to keep mice away from the kitchen and the pantry.
For a basic floor cleaner, use a bucket of warm water, add a little vinegar if you wish, and add around 10-20 drops of pine, tea tree, lemon or peppermint essential oil. Eucalyptus and rosemary are other good options.
For a general household cleaner, add 5-10 drops of essential oil into warm water in a spray bottle, add a little bit of dishwashing liquid, and use for cleaning the kitchen or bathroom surfaces. Shake the bottle well before use, as the oils do not disperse in water.
Make a disinfectant spray with approximately 1 oz. of water and a few drops of tea tree or lemon essential oil in a small spray bottle. Shake well and spray on any surfaces that need disinfecting, for instance during the flu season. Use the same method for an anti-mold spray: add around 5-6 drops of tea tree oil into 1 oz. of water and spray surfaces that are prone to mold or mildew.
Try the natural method for carpet cleaning with baking soda in this article: Non-Toxic Carpet Cleaning Solutions, and add 10-20 drops of essential oils for each cup of baking soda you're using. Follow the instructions in the article – sprinkle the powder on the carpet, leave overnight, and vacuum in the morning.
Love this Satu! So simple but the effectiveness is great with essential oils and hey – no toxic chemicals!
Hello! I like essential oils very much and wish to learn how to include them in my house cleaning. I use few simple recipes for homemade cleaning solutions but never added essential oil drops in them. Your tips and recipes are great, and very useful, and I'm trying some right this weekend. Thank you for sharing!
Wow, I love it. This is the first time to hear that essential oils can be use for cleaning solutions.

Q: Fuse/PTC voltage derating For safe operation of a PCB design, do I need to derate the voltage of a Fuse / PTC?
Can I for example assume, that a femtoASMDC008F can be used in a circuit with a nominal voltage of 12V (but gauranteed to be never above 12V)?
If not, what would be the recommended derating values/safety margins I should keep?
Is there a difference between a fuse and PTC/polyfuse?

A: Yes, and yes.
Regular fuses blow once and that's it.
Polyfuses heat up and go to an "open" state, where the voltage drop is high but some current continues to flow; the high power dissipation keeps the device hot, maintaining the "open" condition until reset.  When it cools back down, the resistance returns mostly to nominal.
Check the manufacturer's application notes.  They are safe to use up to rated voltage and current.  If your source/load could draw more than the rated current, consider using a larger fuse, or increasing series resistance to guarantee staying within ratings.
Related: Polyfuse (resettable PTC) lifetime
As far as I know, PTCs generally fail open, so still act as regular fuses even if the PTC action eventually fails (or ratings are exceeded).

The Modi-Obama Summit: Style Over Substance?
Obama's trip to India was more about posturing and politics than anything.
He came, he saw, he conquered — this is how one can describe U.S. President Barack Obama's Tuesday meetings with India's elite in New Delhi. People started gathering in the Siri Fort auditorium, located in the center of Delhi, more than three hours ahead of the event's scheduled start. The uncomplaining crowd felt privileged to be the audience for the world's most powerful man.
"After all, you don't get to hear a U.S. president and top of that, Barack Obama, every time in your life. It's a once in a life time opportunity to see him live and witness his oratory. I came to the gate of the auditorium at 6:30 in the morning. I didn't want to take a chance with my luck," said Poonam Sharma, a college student.
The audience waited with bated breath for Obama's entry into the hall. Once he stepped in, the whole auditorium gave him a rousing welcome. The president had to ask everyone to resume their seats. For around 35 minutes, the crowd lapped up each and every sentence he uttered. Like a magician, the American leader kept the Indian audience spellbound. Once the speech was over, the dazed spectators were not willing to let him go. Everyone wanted to shake hands with the president. For 15 minutes, Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, got lost in the crowd; even his security detail had a tough time keeping an eye on him. It took a little effort from the president to extract himself from the crowd and bid a quick goodbye to an overly excited gathering.
For three days, the whole nation seemed to be under Obama's spell. His personality created much excitement among the masses. It was, for example, really amazing to see so many people queuing up to witness the Republic Day parade on January 26th despite the biting cold and uncomfortable drizzle in New Delhi.
"I don't care about the rain. I am just keen to see Obama," was the refrain of the majority who were going to attend the celebrations.
On one level, the summit-level talks between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Obama were more about personalities than about specific issues. The issues took a back seat and personalities dominated the Indian media.
What drew great attention was Modi's choice of clothes. A suit that the Indian prime minister wore on the first day of Obama's visit became a particular talking point as the pinstripes on the suit spelled out Modi's name over and over again. Additionally, the media was abuzz about Modi's many wardrobe changes during the visit. Obama's car and his official plane were hot topics of discussion as well.
The body language of the leaders and their mannerisms also attracted considerable attention. Speculation over images led to all kinds of interpretations by the press. Modi was lauded for his ability to see eye to eye with the American President. Even his manner of shaking Obama's hand was discussed and dissected.
Style, therefore, dominated over substance — at least in the Indian media. Sensational coverage of the non-political parts of the summit almost submerged the real agenda and substance.
No one bothered to investigate the real content of the new nuclear deal. No one asked what a $4 billion dollar promise in investments and loans will mean for India. No one questioned the consequences of Indo-U.S. proximity for stability in South Asia and the Asia-Pacific region more generally.
On one level, it seems that Obama's visit has optic value more than anything. People in large seem to be happy, however, that Obama came as the chief guest for India's Republic Day parade. Modi understands the fancies of middle-class India. An American president's grand declamations and praise for the country satisfy the ego of India's new middle class and the youth who want to see India emerge as a powerful nation in the world.
By hosting Obama on India's most important day, the Indian prime minister honors the impatience of the urban middle-class which voted overwhelmingly for the the BJP leader in last year's general elections.
Once the dust settles down and fine print of the nuclear deal comes out, the reality will strike the people. For the time being, people in Delhi are feeling relieved that Obama has left India. Finally, they can relax and drive around their own city without getting stuck in any security drills! The people can now claim their republic.

Dates set for opening of bigger ED and launch of adult trauma care
The University of Chicago Medicine has set Jan. 8, 2018, for the opening of its expanded emergency department and May 1, 2018, for the launch of Level 1 adult trauma services, pending approval by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
The dates were selected once hospital leaders were able to determine how long it would take for the new adult ED to reach "substantial completion," an industry term used to signal conclusion of construction. In UChicago Medicine's case, substantial completion will allow teams to begin setting up equipment, holding dry runs and adding finishing touches, among other activities.
The announcement marks the latest milestone since UChicago Medicine announced plans in December 2015 to increase the community's access to emergency, trauma and specialty care. That plan, approved by state regulators in May 2016, involves relocating and expanding the adult ED, adding 188 inpatient beds to address capacity constraints, and building a dedicated cancer-treatment facility.
The news comes after Dr. Selwyn O. Roger's arrival in early January as founding director of UChicago Medicine's Trauma Center. Other achievements since then:
In March, the city's Emergency Medical Services Region XI trauma directors unanimously endorsed UChicago Medicine's plans to be a designated Level 1 adult trauma center.
Also in March, Debra Allen joined the medical center as clinical director of trauma services. Allen, a registered nurse who helped develop the first regional trauma system in northeast Ohio, is responsible for strategic planning and the administrative, educational and financial management of trauma services.
Five of the planned six additional trauma surgeons have been recruited.
A trauma-center designation means a hospital has the facilities, specialized staff, services and equipment needed to care for patients who suffer life-threatening injury from car accidents, major burns, serious falls or gunshot wounds. An ED serves as the primary entry point when trauma victims are brought to the hospital.
UChicago Medicine's new adult ED, which is 76 percent larger than the present structure housed in Mitchell Hospital, will feature a design that improves workflows and efficiency, allowing the medical center to accommodate the increased patient volumes that come with providing trauma services.
Timeline of UChicago Medicine's ED and Trauma Plans
December 2015: Plans announced to relocate and expand adult emergency department services, open a Level 1 adult trauma center at the Hyde Park campus, and add beds to accommodate the community's increased needs.
February 2016: State application filed to increase access to emergency, trauma and specialty care.
May 2016: State regulators approve application. Construction of the larger adult ED begins.
September 2016: Groundbreaking ceremony held for new adult ED, which will house four trauma bays and be the primary entry point for trauma victims.
January 2017: Dr. Selwyn Rogers recruited as director of the trauma center.
March 2017: The city's Emergency Medical Services Region XI trauma directors endorse UChicago Medicine's plans to be a Level 1 adult trauma center. Also, Debra Allen recruited as clinical director of trauma services.
September 2017: "Substantial completion" in construction of new adult ED.
Jan. 8, 2018: Relocated and expanded adult emergency department scheduled to open.
March-April: Trauma action plan submitted to the Illinois Department of Public Health, followed by onsite review.
May 1: Level 1 adult trauma services set to begin, pending IDPH approval.

I prefer Melvin because he only loses 1 damage but his ability is activated all the time and you can never have enuth Dr.
1 thing I would change due to personal, biased preference (when I say biased, I mean that it's my opinion and you don't really have to follow me.) would be Randal to Loocio. I will move further on to explain why.
The change I suggested, Randal to Loocio, will be because your deck already has more than enough SoA. The only draws where you won't get any SoA will be if you get Blaaster Cr, Chlora, Loocio and 1 Roots card. That is pretty unlikely and you don't always need SoA. Also, one problem will be that if you have too much SoA, you may have trouble playing against stop abilities like Flinch as your strategy will be heavily affected. Loocio also has the 10 power that can wall through Boohma or Martha easily. Lastly, If you really need Randal that much, I would suggest changing Graff to something aggressive like Massiv or Bennie/Kevlaer.
Personally, when I play Bangers, I make it a point to add in Vermyn N after Blaaster Cr. This is because I don't like B ball much as a DR and the high damage and -4 DR gives me an excellent versatility sweep to the game. However, you have Jeena and Yookie so you do not need the DR. Contrary to that, Chlora or Shogunn are excellent aggressive cards that should be more useful than Vermyn N in your deck. While Chlora may be weak against SoB abilities like Lehane/Petra, Shogunn fails terribly to SoA. This can however be protected by your Roots.
Vortex are quite good at the moment if you can afford them: Dregn, Dagg, Cyb Lhia, Deea, C Wing, Neloe, X-0DUS, Qorah.
Lol i can afford dregn but not dregn and another one. Besides i'm using montana now im on 1180 so far which ain't bad for me.
Interesting deck. I would personally change Karen to Kang but thats just me.
If its mono use Draheera first. then if its non-mono or needs a second 4* I would use Methane because his powers more stable and he can have 1 extra damage then anibal.
Interesting deck. I would personally change Fuzz to Peeler becuase he has 1 more power (though he loses a damage but thats not that big a problem in ELO) and his - opp damage ability means if he does lose its not too much of a problem.
Interesting deck. If possible I would change C Beast to Dregn because if im hit by stop opp: ability i prefer high power to damage, Shaakarti to Dagg (To allow an extra * to be used elsewhere and daggs good) and Mickey T to Pallack for higher power and damage.
More comments and rates are welcome?
Nice deck. I would personally change Dalhia to Selma. You might lose 1 power but you gain 2 damage and + pillz means there is no minimum.
Who said GHEIST are weak ive never stopped using them .
Nice deck aswell, In my deck i use Selsya Cr instead of Elke because i have selsya cr and i like her. If levetion is unbanned luba can be swapped for it.
Interesting deck. I would personally change Dieter to sargh because i like sargh due to his attack manipulation.
I can't speak for FPC, but La Junta aren't used in ELO because people write them off as a 2 hit KO gimmick clan who can be easily countered. Both of these things are false and that is why people will continually lose to La Junta in the hands of good players. If you build a balanced deck instead of stockpiling damage and praying for 2 hit KOs, then you'll find that La Junta has a very powerful and very solid 2 hit trading deck that can out damage most opponents.
If you think Junta has a major vulnerability to SoA, then you're playing them wrong. Ray, Gatline, Bryan, Wyre, Jane Ramba, Thorimund, and Victoria are all Tier 1 cards that are fine against SoA, if not ridiculously powerful (Vic). If you run Isatis, Trish, and Dean in the same deck then yes, you'll find your deck is weak to SoA. That is your fault, not La Juntas. Yea you won't have easy mode against SoA clans like rescue can, but you can be on par.
@Anderson The low star hands are fine. Like any low star hand you're probably going to need to win three rounds against higher star hands in order to win. Against other low star hands, Junta is fine on damage. 4 damage on 2 star cards is standard if not better in the metagame. Your 3 star cards will likely have 5-7 damage which is average to high. You also have a DR at the 3* and 2* levels, which allows you to trade a bit easier.
Nice deck. I would personally change Janice to Felicia. You might lose 2 damage but you gain 1 power and stop opp: bonus.
Oops sorry, my bad. I ment Gibson.

Forex - EUR/USD rebounds from 4-day low, downside risks remain
Written by Investing.com ->
Forexpros - The euro edged higher against the U.S. dollar on Thursday, rebounding from a four-day low, but gains were limited amid fears the euro zone's debt crisis could spread to the region's banking sector.
EUR/USD clawed back from 1.4122, the lowest since August 5, to hit 1.4240 during late Asian trade, gaining 0.43% on the day.
The pair was likely to find support at 1.4054, the low of August 5 and a two-week low and resistance at 1.4425, the high of August 8.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy met with Bank of France Governor Christian Noyer on Wednesday, as well as with a number of government ministers to discuss the country's economic and financial situation.
The meeting came amid mounting fears that France's top-tier AAA credit rating could be downgraded if the euro zone sovereign debt crisis worsened.
Shares in the three biggest French lenders, Societe Generale, BNP Paribas and Credit Agricole suffered heavy losses during Wednesday's trading session on the CAC 40 index in Paris, with SocGen plunging by as much as 23% at one point, underscoring concerns that the region's debt crisis could spill over to major banks across the single currency bloc.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve pledged on Tuesday to keep its benchmark interest rate at an all-time low, adding that it will maintain a loose monetary policy until "at least through mid-2013."
In a statement, the Fed said growth was much slower than expected and the labor market had deteriorated, underlining concerns over the U.S. economic outlook.
Elsewhere, the euro was also up against the pound, with EUR/GBP adding 0.15% to hit 0.8802.
Later in the day, the European Central Bank was to publish its monthly bulletin, while the U.S. was to release official data on its trade balance, as well as a government report on initial jobless claims and natural gas stockpiles.

Political Ad Claims Abuse at Nursing Homes
In the Republican race for governor, an ad paid for by unions was critical of candidate Bruce Rauner
because they claimed that a company he had a relationship to had instances of Nursing Home neglect resulting in Millions of dollars in Jury Verdicts.

A nightmare nursing home - Editorial - Newsday
The Medford Multicare Center for Living fits the stereotype of the nursing home from hell. The place has an abominable 11-year record of nursing home abuse, neglect, cover-ups, health infractions, criminal convictions and multimillion-dollar paydays for the owners.
New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman wrote a new chapter in that scandalous history last week when his office arrested seven employees in connection with the October 2012 death of Aurelia Rios, a 72-year-old resident who wasn't connected to a ventilator overnight, as ordered by her doctor. Among those arrested was a respiratory therapist accused of ignoring alarms that sounded every 15 seconds for two hours to indicate the ventilator wasn't connected, and also ignoring pager messages when the patient stopped breathing. The other six -- nurses, aides and managers -- were charged with allegedly allowing the death or covering it up. Two additional employees were charged with patient neglect unrelated to Rios.

Massachusetts Attorney Bernard Hamill Advocate for the Elderly in Long-Term... -- BOSTON, Feb. 20, 2014
BOSTON, Feb. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Bernard Hamill brought suit against Kindred Healthcare, Inc. alleging that his 85-year-old client had been assaulted at their facility. A Middlesex County jury entered a Massachusetts verdict for Hamill's client on Dec. 17th, 2013 for $2,000,014.00 against Kindred Healthcare, Inc.
The Plaintiff was found with a bruise and bleeding on her vaginal area. Hamill argued that the bruise was caused by abuse. Kindred argued that she had fallen. Because there were no eyewitnesses to any abuse, the defense contested Plaintiff's allegation strenuously, presenting expert medical testimony about falls and other medical conditions that could result in Plaintiff's injury.
Kindred's position was that since a police investigation resulted in no charges and a state investigation was inconclusive, there was no merit to Plaintiff''s claim. Plaintiff successfully argued that she had been assaulted and produced hospital records in support of their claim. The jury deliberated only 3 hours.
With interest the Verdict was $2,477,000.00 for emotional distress, loss of dignity and pain and suffering.
From the official court notice:
"Judgement on jury verdict for plaintiff(s), Jeanne Stanford POA:
It is ORDERED and ADJUDGED: That the plaintiff, Jeanne Stanford POA recover of the defendant(s), Kindred Healthcare, Inc., d/b/a Kindred Transitional Care and Rehabilitation-Marlborough, Kindred Nursing Centers East, L.L.C., Kindred Healthcare Operating, Inc. the sum of $2,014,000.00 with interest in the sum of $460,189.23 as provided by law, and its costs of action. (Paul D. Wilson, Justice). 12/18/2013"
No stranger to litigation against Kindred, Attorney Hamill previously obtained a judgment of $750,000 for two Kindred nursing home abuse victims who were handled roughly. This award was for purely emotional distress as there were no injuries. He advocates for elderly nursing home residents and has a successful track record including the highest awards for emotional distress caused by nursing home abuse.
This award represents the largest jury verdict ever awarded in Massachusetts for nursing home abuse.

Elder advocate criticizes new Florida nursing home bill
A Senate committee Tuesday gave swift approval to a bill that is being panned by some elder advocates as a bill designed to help nursing homes and trial lawyers make money but do little to help residents.
The bill would shield some nursing home investors from lawsuits. The bill also would give families easier access to documents.

2015 BMW M3 Long-Term Update 3
BMW M3 Sedan Long Term Reviews
by writer: Edward Loh photographer: Motor Trend Staff May 07, 2015
I had three specific issues to address at the M3's first service, for which, at 11,518 miles, I was about 1,500 miles overdue. First and foremost, I asked the guys at South Bay BMW to diagnose and fix the incessant squeaking coming from inside the vehicle. The brittle creaking over speed bumps and in and out of steeper driveways has been maddening and my chief complaint when anyone asks me about the car. In addition, I informed the service department of an issue that had just cropped up, most recently on the drive into the parking lot: a juddering sensation from the front wheels, particularly at low speeds (below 20 mph) and only when making 90-degree turns. The operating theory I passed along was that it was the surface of the brake rotor rubbing against the pads in the calipers under load, near the extremes of the turning radius. Before handing over the keys, I mentioned that visual assets manager Brian Vance added a quart of oil recently at the prompting of a low-oil warning. South Bay BMW offered a perfectly acceptable X3 loaner for the estimated three-to-four-day service and were communicative throughout the process.
When the car came back, the creaking issue was solved. The cause of the noise was dirty door seals, so all four seals were cleaned and lubricated and the creaking disappeared. Less easy to fix was the brake judder. The service write-up states it was "operating as designed" and noted that during the road-test diagnosis, "traction control activation during hard left turn with brakes applied." A "client road test with shop foreman" was recommended, presumably to demonstrate how traction control could be mistaken for the brake issue, but that drive never happened, and the brake judder (which is felt through the steering wheel and not through the rear wheels) is still a recurring issue.
Regarding the addition of oil, the service manager wrote: "Operating as designed[.] Checked for leaks, none found. Due to increased engine power, all Motorsport engines can consume up to 2.5 quarts of engine oil per 1,000 miles at any time." As fudge factors go, up to 2.5 quarts per 1,000 miles is as rich and chocolately as I've ever heard, even for high-performance M vehicles. That being said, we accumulated substantial mileage just after the oil change and haven't had to add any since.
The final service procedure was the replacement of the engine compartment sound insulator, as part of recall 0051460300. There was no prior notification of this recall from the dealer, but BMW North America told me that it affected M3 (F80) and M4 (F82) vehicles built from March 18, 2014 to May 20, 2014 and dealt specifically with "the rubber strip at the back of the engine compartment that seals against the hood when it is closed." Apparently water can leak into the engine compartment and affect wiring connectors unless the insulating strip is replaced. Total cost for this service was exactly $0 because routine maintenance is covered for four years or 50,000 miles. A nice touch, even though not every issue was addressed.
Next up, to combat one of the coldest, stormiest winters in recent memory, we'll slap snow tires on the M3 and send it up to mountains.

10 Bergen County high schools latest victim of bomb threats
Home Featured Stories 10 Bergen County high schools latest victim of bomb threats
By Jillian Risberg Featured Stories Police and Crime April 13, 2016
Authorities investigated another round of bomb threats made this morning against several Bergen County schools, reminiscent of threats made in January and February.
According to Bergen County Sheriff's Office spokesman Anthony Cureton, the schools were cleared about 11:15 am due to non-credible threats, but he could not confirm who or what the culprit was.
For that, he referred us to the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office for further information.
"It's an active investigation, Communications Director Maureen Parenta says. "When there are charges brought against an individual, that's when we would release information, and that's certainly what we're working toward."
Some of the schools were in session, while others were closed for spring break.
Englewood's Dwight Morrow High School, Elmwood Park High School, Fair Lawn High School, Fort Lee High School, Garfield High School, Hasbrouck Heights High School, Hawthorne High School, Lodi High School, Midland Park High School and Paramus High School were affected.


Since blogging is such an awesome way to earn extra income I want to continue on with more ways you can draw more interest to your blog. Today I wanted to talk you about how to quickly write an eBook for your blog.
Having an eBook on your blog is a great way for you to boost your email sign ups and also your credibility. I am always much more apt to sign up for someone's email list if I am getting a free bonus. Some people offer giveaways while others offer eBooks.
I, for one, am always much more inclined to sign up for an email list with a free eBook rather than a giveaway. Mainly because I figure my odds of actually winning the giveaway are slim to none. If a blog offers a free eBook that I feel can benefit me in some way, you better believe I'm going to sign up.
The eBook I wrote for this blog actually took me a while to complete. I started from scratch and spent a lot of time figuring out what I wanted to say.
However, when I bought Defeat Our Debt I had plans to one day sell it for profit. I knew having an eBook and email subscribers would increase the value of the blog which is why I put together a free eBook. I also knew I didn't want to spend the amount of time writing an eBook that I did for this blog. That's why I came up with an easy way to quickly write an eBook. It took me all of one evening to get it together.
Here's how to quickly write an eBook for your blog.
This should probably go without saying but your eBook needs to be relevant to your blog. On Single Moms Income the thing I talk about most is finding new businesses to create. The Single Moms Guide to Starting a Side Business, was of course, an obvious choice.
With Defeat Our Debt the whole focus of the blog is hundreds of ideas to get out of debt. Therefore it only seemed logical to create an eBook on how to get out of debt.
Choose an eBook topic that compliments your blog's topic.
The next step in quickly creating an eBook is creating a layout. Think about exactly what you want your eBook to be about and create a few chapters in your preferred order.
You can see that my outline is super basic. My chapters are to the point and I've included and introduction and bonus material at the end. Everyone likes a bonus, right?
Once I had my outline I went ahead to the next step.
Once I had my outline I went through my old posts to see what fit in. I found a post for each and every chapter that I had created.
I then copied and pasted those posts into a Microsoft word document in the order of my outline.
Next I wrote the introduction, edited the existing posts that I had copied and pasted so that they flowed like a book would, and added extra information as I saw fit.
I then went through and added headings, subheadings, and a table of contents.
Lastly, I added the bonus section which was simply links to budget templates, financial calculators, and personal finance blogs.
For Single Moms Income's eBook I used a blog friend, Taynia from the Fiscal Flamingo, who I highly recommend. However, for Defeat Our Debt I want to use the cheapest route available.
I purchased a stock photo from Free Digital Photos for $3 and used picmonkey to put the text on the cover.
If you don't want to create the cover yourself you could use a service like Fiverr to order a cover for $5.
Once all of that is done it's time to put the eBook on your blog and increase your subscribers! I was actually pleasantly surprised that despite the low amount of traffic Defeat Our Debt currently receives that I still get sign ups! In fact I started receiving email subscribers the first day I put the eBook up!
That's my advice on how to quickly write an eBook for your blog. Have you wrote an eBook for your blog? Any tips you'd like to share?
Awesome work! I know I've got a ton of older posts that I could aggregate into one valuable resource. I'm very much interested in putting together some sort of eBook and experimenting with this type of monetization strategy in 2014. How do you actually publish the book – do you use a service so it is compatible with eReaders or simply PDF it? How do you sell it on Amazon?
For email sign up giveaways I just used a PDF version. It's very easy to do you just put your book together in Microsoft Word download a free PDF converter and drag and drop the file. People can still read your PDF file on an eReader.
As far as selling through Amazon it's just as easy! You put your book together in a Microsoft Word file and then Amazon converts your Word Doc into a Kindle Doc for you. All you do is upload and add a cover.
Thanks for the how to. I haven't written an ebook but I did put together a little giveaway for people who sign up for my email list. I definitely think it makes a big difference, both in terms of getting people to sign up AND on making sure they're happy with the decision.
This is a really great post as I haven't considered writing an eBook, but now that you mention it I have signed up for a couple of blog's email lists that I wouldn't have if it wasn't for the eBook. In fact, it may have even converted me from a casual Google-searcher who ended up on their site to an email subscriber of 2+ years! I will have to consider this for Young Adult Money or for my new health care-related blog.
Using old blog posts to create an ebook is a great idea. It's your content, so why not?
Awesome advice Alexa. I have been looking at doing this for DR and now you got me wondering how I can do it. This is perfect timing!
Great tips! I'm hoping to do this very soon for my business site.
This is really helpful, Alexa. I hadn't realized the process could be systematic, but it makes sense. maybe I'll write a book this year!
I haven't considered writing an eBook though this is an awesome idea.
I have considered it, but I would need to pick a subject matter first! I've done one ebook for a client project and found it surprisingly enjoyable.
That's impressive! I took part in a collaborative ebook and it was still quite challenging. I've been a little leery about giving it another shot but you set it up so it looks a lot easier! Nice work!
Thanks for sharing this Alexa! I definitely have plans to put some ebooks together in the future, so this was very helpful. Using old posts as the basis for content proved to be a real time saver.
Thanks so much for this, Alexa!! I've been thinking a lot about this subject lately. Looking forward to reading your DOD ebook!
I had been thinking for a while that it would be good to put together an ebook to use as a sign up incentive but could never come up with an idea of what I could write about… I'm a lifestyle blogger I never thought I would have enough content on any one particular topic to make a book out of it. However, after reading your post and your suggestion to use older posts for content I had three different ideas for ebooks!! Thank you so much. Just wondering, how long (or short) would you suggest an ebook should be?
most useful blogs on the web. I will highly recommend this blog!
I came to take a look. I'm definitely loving the information. I'm book-marking and will be tweeting thios to my followers!

Nicotine is the reason for tobacco smoking. Nicotine replacement therapy uses nicotine to replace tobacco smoking. Nicorette Nicotine Gum is one of the nicotine replacement therapies and is a chewing gum specially formulated with nicotine. When chewing the gum, it allows nicotine to pass through the mouth and into the blood, delivering a steady stream of therapeutic nicotine that helps reduce smoker's cravings for cigarettes, thus assists in stopping smoking.
There are two strength levels of Nicorette Nicotine Gum, 4 mg and 2 mg. Each contains 100 pieces of gum. The nicotine gum offers six different tastes, white ice mint, fresh mint, fruit chill, cinnamon surge, regular mint, and original.

In general, chew nine pieces of gum per day, or one piece every 1-2 hours, or when cravings occur, for the first six weeks of the program.
Chew slowly till notice a peppery taste or a tingling sensation in the mouth, then stop chewing until the taste or sensation subsides.

The active ingredient in Nicorette Nicotine Gum is a low therapeutic dose of nicotine. The side effects of nicotine gum are minimal and include hiccups, heartburn, nausea, or other stomach problems. Side effects seem to be the worst at 4 mg strength, so you may want to switch to 2 mg strength if you experience intolerable negative side effects.

I do not smoke but have always wondered if nicotine gum actually works. I know some people that stand behind it and says it works well.
It is interesting that you have to chew 9 pieces a day. But, if that coupled with a strong desire to quit smoking works, then I surely would do it.
Have you heard of many people experiencing the stomach problems as a side effect? If so, were there extreme or minor?
Hi Nate, Thanks for your comment and question. You need to have self-discipline and detailed action plan to use nicotine gum for quit smoking. If you determine to do, you may not need 9 pieces of gum a day and you use it when your crave for cigarettes. Try to reduce the usage of gum gradually. Some people are sensitive to nicotine, one of the symptoms is stomach pain. It is usually minor and if this happens, try to reduce or stop using the gum. If you want to restart, try to use low dose and low number of gum.
I used to smoke and tried the gum back when it only came in one flavor. It was not bad tasting considering what it is, but I admit that my heart was not into quitting at that time. I do not remember having any side effects, which is a plus.
I tried patches for quitting and they had tons of side effects for me. I think that I would tend to recommend the gum over the patches any time.
This is a great way for people to break a bad habit. Who knows what those many ingredients are in cigarettes anymore, or how bad they are for us, beyond the negatives of smoking. Thank you for posting this!
Hi Irma, Thank you very much for sharing your experiences with us. Every one has different situation and experience. The good thing is that we have so many alternatives and I am confident that if you try, you will find something you like to use for quit smoking.
Excellent information on nicotine gum. I no longer smoke, but based on your presentation of Nicorette, how to use it, the reasons to use it, and the bad of it, I am tempted to buy some for my sister who is still trying to quit smoking.
Hi Tom, Congratulation on your quit smoking! Nicotine gum is one of the easiest way to start with. It is life saving gift for your sister. Good luck with sister's efforts on stopping smoking. If you need any assistance, please let me know and I will try my best to help.
Thanks for the informative article on nicotine gum! The latest method to quit smoking is vaping – what do you think about vaping nicotine? You can select different potencies of nicotine, still get the relaxing, breathing sensation because there is smoke, and also gradually lower the nicotine dose. Of course, there are still things we don't know about inhaling vapor, but it is really popular where I'm from.
Hi Valerie, Thanks for the comment. Smokers nowadays fortunately have so many alternatives to tobacco smoking. As you mentioned, vaping is one choice. It looks, tastes, and feels like a real cigarette, but without 7000 substances from burning tobacco. It could be a great tool for those who plan to quit.
I never knew the purpose of nicotine gum. Thanks to your article, now I do. I often believe that if one really has a strong desire to quit smoking, they can achieve it. Do these gums taste like regular gums?
Hi Hong, so nice to hear you learn something from my article. The nicotine gum likes the chewing gum we routinely use in our daily life. Both have similar component, but nicotine gum contains nicotine and as of today there are six different flavors, white ice mint, fresh mint, fruit chill, cinnamon surge, regular mint, and original.

Khulood Jawhar Al-Hamidi
Broadcaster for Qatar Radio
True pioneers are those who face the barriers and obstacles that stand before them with courage, and push for the change they believe in. There is no easy path to success, but it is achieved through hard work and dedication. In this interview, we shall get acquainted with Khulood Jawhar Al-Hamidi, a Qatari woman who realized her dream of becoming one of the first female pioneers in Qatari media. Who is Khulood Al-Hamidi?
I am a broadcaster for Qatar Radio. I have been working there since 1997, and I still work there. When I was in elementary school I liked the school radio, so I practiced and mastered the skills necessary to host it. I became so good at it that I did not see any other field that would be suitable for me to work in other than broadcasting. So, I majored in media studies at Qatar University and later joined Qatar radio station. I further specialized in broadcasting during my first year at the University, and started training at Qatar radio until I graduated and became an official employee there.
What was the nature of specializing in media at the University in 1997?
It was a tough time to enter Media Studies during the late nineties, as there was not the same level of social acceptance we see today towards women's involvement in media. At that time, only three Qatari women had an active media presence, and they were Aisha Hassan, Ilham Badr, and Amina Sultan. During that tough time, even my mother was against the idea of me working in media, however my father was the only one who supported and encouraged me to study and work in this field. In the neighborhood we grew up in our neighbors were considered part of the family, and they too were against my decision to work in the media. However, after they saw how my work in the media benefited me, and that there was nothing wrong with it, they accepted my involvement in this field. Since then, they have encouraged me to keep pursuing my career and would listen to my radio broadcasts.
What encouraged you to persist working in this field?
As I told you earlier, I have loved radio and media in general since childhood. When a person gets attached to something in their childhood, it stays with them until adulthood. I was one of the most distinguished in this field since elementary school, and continued to thrive in it in middle and high school until it became too difficult to leave it. I did not have a role model at home in this field, and I was not a passionate follower of broadcasters, but nevertheless I loved the field since childhood. I consider the microphone to be one of the things that I am very attached to, just as others relate to horses or hunting. All of these things begin as a hobby, but they grow up to become our main driving passion in life.
What are the changes that you have witnessed in Qatari media over time?
A lot of changes have occurred in this field. In the 1990s, the only socially acceptable job for Qatari women was teaching. The idea of a profession that requires mixing between genders was unacceptable, and still is to a degree. With the emergence of Sheikha Moza bint Nasser things changed, as the Qatari society saw her as a decent and modern role model for women, and began to accept the idea of professional mixing in society.
What have you learned in your role as a broadcaster?
The lessons I have learned are not limited to my role as a radio host, as it includes all the experiences that I have acquired in my career. If a person has complete conviction of a goal, they must seek to achieve it. More than that, if the person has a good spirit, and has the ability to distinguish between what is right and wrong, then they can succeed despite the obstacles that stand before them.
Are there any other projects that you work besides broadcasting?
No, I am against taking a social media path as a sub-specialty, and against the idea of using my name as a commodity. I think this phenomenon is temporary, and it will disappear with time as it loses the imprint of credibility, and this is extremely important in the field of media and news.
Is there any outstanding memory in your career that you would like to share with us?
I have many beautiful memories. One of the memories that I often recall is being the last female announcer to participate in the Sha'bi (local) radio, which was a training radio station that broadcasters participated in before appearing on the public channel, which is Qatar Radio. This small radio station provided an opportunity for anyone aspiring to become a broadcaster, as it was limited to broadcasting to Doha and the eastern region of Saudi Arabia. This radio only broadcasted folk songs that pertained to specific regions in the Gulf, such as Iraq and Yemen. I used to deal with the broadcasting station as a school, where it trained us to get over the fear of speaking into a microphone. When I was young, my main audience was people at my school, but once I started to work on the national radio my audience grew to a much larger scale. I was in a place where all the residents of the country could listen to me, and that was a very difficult transition to make. The first time I had to present on national radio I could not speak, the microphone was on but I got nervous and could not say anything. The transition from Sha'bi (local) radio to public radio was also difficult, as it was a shift from using colloquial dialect to classical Arabic. Thus, we had to master the classical Arabic language of the media before appearing on the radio. I think that modern media lacks this simple touch, as broadcasters are no longer focused on mastering the classical Arabic language.
I take great pride in our customs and traditions, including the cloak (Abayah), and Qatar is one of the rare countries that still adheres to its customs and traditions. I hope we can continue to preserve these beautiful customs and traditions.

The Personhood Divide: The Anti-Choice Movement's Bitter Feud Over The Best Way To End Legal Abortion
By Miranda Blue | April 30, 2015 1:10 pm
The "personhood" movement — those who seek sweeping bans on all abortion and common types of birth control in an effort to confront Roe v. Wade head-on — is hugely divisive within the anti-choice community. Groups like National Right to Life Committee, which have been pushing a more careful, incremental approach toward ending legal abortion, worry that the personhood movement risks undermining their progress toward the ultimate goal. Meanwhile, personhood advocates accuse groups like NRLC of selling out the ultimate goal in the service of small steps that they claim will never lead to the full criminalization of abortion.
A few months ago, we published a series of posts exploring the anti-choice personhood movement, its history, and how it is confronting a changing political landscape. People For the American Way Foundation has adapted that series into a report, "The Personhood Movement: Where It Comes From And What It Means for the Future of Choice," which was released today.
As the national debate over a NRLC-backed federal bill banning abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy have shown, one of the major sticking points between the two factions is whether the anti-choice movement should accept "compromises" that exempt women who have been raped from abortion bans. From the report's introduction:
The largest and best-funded groups opposing abortion rights have, over the past several years, achieved astounding success in chipping away at women's access to legal abortion in the United States. But these successes, Personhood Alliance's founders maintain, are too small and have come at a grave cost.
In seeking mainstream approval for anti-choice politics, personhood advocates believe, groups like the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) and Americans United for Life (AUL) have adopted a secular tone and downplayed their Christian origins. In focusing on drawing attention to issues like late-term abortion, they may have won some support for the cause but have done little to end the procedures they targeted. In seeking incremental successes, personhood advocates argue, the movement has given up on making a moral argument for the humanity of fertilized eggs and fetuses and lost sight of its larger goal of eliminating legal abortion entirely.
But the greatest betrayal in the eyes of these personhood advocates is the willingness of major anti-choice groups to endorse legislation that includes exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape and incest. The personhood movement's leaders contend that these political concessions are not only immoral and intellectually inconsistent, but also threaten to undermine the movement's goals in the long term.
The personhood movement provides an interesting look into the bitter "incrementalist vs. immediatist" divide that has split the anti-choice movement since before Roe v. Wade. Both sides want an end to legal abortion; neither trusts the other to get there. But in the meantime, each is making progress in making it more difficult and more dangerous for women to access safe and legal reproductive care.

? [Cleaning workers] may suffer cuts, bruises, and burns from machines and chemicals.
? They spend most of their time on their feet, sometimes lifting or pushing heavy furniture or equipment.
? Many tasks, such as dusting or sweeping, require constant bending, stooping, and stretching?which can cause back injuries and sprains.
As high as these numbers are, in reality there are probably many more injuries that go unreported. One big reason for this is the fact that the professional cleaning industry is made up of thousands of mom-and-mop cleaning companies that often do not report injuries as work-related or at all. Additionally, many injuries are simply not reported for scores of reasons from fear to simply ignoring the problem.
Many cleaning tasks can result in injuries. Often this is because of inadequate training?the cleaning worker has never been taught how to use a specific cleaning tool or piece of equipment correctly so that it is less taxing on the body. Other times injuries occur because of the way the tool or equipment must be used even if proper training has occurred. And in most cases, the injuries do not come on suddenly. Instead, they develop gradually from repetitive motion.
A good example is vacuuming. Vacuuming carpets a few times may cause no injury even if it is done incorrectly or the machine used is heavy and hard to maneuver. However, when it is done repetitively, such as in a typical professional cleaning situation, problems may materialize.
? Workers lift and move furniture and cleaning equipment that is often heavy and poorly designed, with weight that is unbalanced.
? Workers lift, fill, and empty buckets of water, often lifting incorrectly.
? When mopping floors, workers often grasp the top of the mop handle, putting the shoulder in an awkward position.
? It takes more force to mop floors than may initially be realized.
? Workers squat and bend when mopping floors.
? Workers look down throughout the mopping process, resulting in potentially painful head and neck placement.
One of the first ways to prevent injuries is to let cleaning workers know that they must be more aware of how they use their bodies to vacuum, mop floors, and conduct scores of other cleaning-related duties. Along with this, they must listen to their bodies. A pain that develops in the shoulders after vacuuming or mopping typically gets worse, not better. If workers' shoulders start to hurt, they should examine how they are performing a cleaning activity and what changes they can make to lessen the strain and the pain.
This leads in to training. According to some estimates, there are more than five million cleaning workers in the United States. However, many are believed to be inadequately trained on how to clean, and even more don't know how to do so safely without causing stress or strain.
This leaves a lot of injury prevention up to manufacturers. Fortunately, most of the machines used in the professional cleaning industry in the past 10 years have become lighter, easier to use, and more ergonomic, which means they are designed to work with the cleaning worker.
However, even as equipment has gotten more ergonomic, janitor injuries are persistently high. Lack of adequate training, as referenced earlier, is certainly one key reason. The equipment used may be another problem.
This is why some manufacturers have put less emphasis on larger machines and introduced an assortment of smaller, interconnecting, "build-as-you-need" tools to address a variety of cleaning needs. The thought behind the concept is that the tools can be used independently or together, as needed. Often they start with basic products such as buckets on trolleys but can be built up to handle a number of cleaning tasks, even dispense-and-vacuum/spray-and-vac cleaning.
According to Angelo Poneris, Customer Service Rep with Valley Janitorial, who is familiar with these systems, "The units are light and small. Instead of working, moving, and transporting a large machine, the worker may need only one or two components.? This can definitely be easier on the body preventing injury."
Ultimately, reducing work injuries in the professional cleaning industry is not the responsibility solely of jansan manufacturers. Nor is it just up to cleaning workers. Everyone involved with cleaning?including facility managers, supervisors, and distributors?has to keep looking for ways to make cleaning healthier and less stressful.
Not only will the injury numbers come down, but worker productivity will likely go up, absenteeism will be reduced, and the cost of cleaning will be reduced as well?a great benefit in this cost-cutting age.
Mopping is not too healthy for our bodies, especially when it comes to our backs. Here are ten reasons why.
Poor custodial training or the lack of adequate cleaning tools and equipment has been a problem for decades throughout the professional cleaning industry, so to see it showing up in correctional facilities is no surprise.
