/**
 * Layered socket factory for TLS/SSL connections.
 *

 * SSLSocketFactory can be used to validate the identity of the HTTPS server against a list of
 * trusted certificates and to authenticate to the HTTPS server using a private key.
 *

 * SSLSocketFactory will enable server authentication when supplied with
 * a {@link KeyStore trust-store} file containing one or several trusted certificates. The client
 * secure socket will reject the connection during the SSL session handshake if the target HTTPS
 * server attempts to authenticate itself with a non-trusted certificate.
 *

 * Use JDK keytool utility to import a trusted certificate and generate a trust-store file:
 *

 *     keytool -import -alias "my server cert" -file server.crt -keystore my.truststore
 *

 *

 * In special cases the standard trust verification process can be bypassed by using a custom
 * {@link TrustStrategy}. This interface is primarily intended for allowing self-signed
 * certificates to be accepted as trusted without having to add them to the trust-store file.
 *

 * The following parameters can be used to customize the behavior of this
 * class:
 *

 *
{@link org.apache.http.params.CoreConnectionPNames#CONNECTION_TIMEOUT}

 *
{@link org.apache.http.params.CoreConnectionPNames#SO_TIMEOUT}

 *
{@link org.apache.http.params.CoreConnectionPNames#SO_REUSEADDR}

 *

 *

 * SSLSocketFactory will enable client authentication when supplied with
 * a {@link KeyStore key-store} file containing a private key/public certificate
 * pair. The client secure socket will use the private key to authenticate
 * itself to the target HTTPS server during the SSL session handshake if
 * requested to do so by the server.
 * The target HTTPS server will in its turn verify the certificate presented
 * by the client in order to establish client's authenticity
 *

 * Use the following sequence of actions to generate a key-store file
 *

 *

 *

 *

 *      Use JDK keytool utility to generate a new key
 *
keytool -genkey -v -alias "my client key" -validity 365 -keystore my.keystore

 *      For simplicity use the same password for the key as that of the key-store
 *

 *

 *

 *

 *      Issue a certificate signing request (CSR)
 *
keytool -certreq -alias "my client key" -file mycertreq.csr -keystore my.keystore

 *

 *

 *

 *

 *      Send the certificate request to the trusted Certificate Authority for signature.
 *      One may choose to act as her own CA and sign the certificate request using a PKI
 *      tool, such as OpenSSL.
 *

 *

 *

 *

 *       Import the trusted CA root certificate
 *
keytool -import -alias "my trusted ca" -file caroot.crt -keystore my.keystore

 *

 *

 *

 *

 *       Import the PKCS#7 file containg the complete certificate chain
 *
keytool -import -alias "my client key" -file mycert.p7 -keystore my.keystore

 *

 *

 *

 *

 *       Verify the content the resultant keystore file
 *
keytool -list -v -keystore my.keystore

 *

 *

 *

For this assignment we were asked to pick a vintage style of design and create a circus event poster. The rule was simple; only use type characters to illustrate your concept.
My concept was to recreate the look of early 1900`s vintage traveling circus posters. Since the use of drawings or shapes other than type characters was forbidden, I created my background entirely using a pattern of the word circus and the elephant using only type characters stacked one on top of the other. Take a closer look to see the details put into the design.

Cleona Council approves plans for new credit union branch in borough
Douglas Stump
Special to Lebanon Daily News
The Cleona Borough Council on Monday approved a plan for Members 1st Federal Credit Union to build a branch office along Route 422 in Cleona.
Engineer Richard Castranio, consultant for the Mechanicsburg-based credit union, said a letter of approval for the plan has been received from the County of Lebanon Planning Department.
Dale Gingrich, representing Members 1st, told Council the credit union is in the process of entering a contract with the owner of a property at 325 W. Penn Ave., to purchase the site. The property at the northeast corner of West Penn Avenue and Harris Street, has a one-story residence that was formerly used as an insurance office and is in a commercial zoning area.
Gingrich said the credit union does not expect to construct the new building until 2020 and the current owner will be permitted to live in the house until work begins on the property, if he chooses to do so.
He said the Cleona branch will be the credit union's 61st location, including branches in Palmyra and Lebanon. Gringrich said it is expected that the new branch will employ about eight employees, which will be new hires for the credit union.
In other Borough news:
• Council member Douglas Hartman, head of the property department, reported his research on the proposed replacement of the oil furnace in the borough building with a natural gas furnace came to a sudden halt when water began to pour into the building's basement from recent heavy rains.
He said pumps have been pumping water from the basement for 14 days and that the water level was within one inch of electrical panels. The sound of the pumps could be heard during the council meeting.
Instead of the replacement of the furnace he is now recommending his department's budget be spent on two new permanent pumps and also for the creation of two new pits where temporary pumps can be placed, if needed.
Hartman said the oil furnace was flooded and will need to be repaired.
Council president James O'Connor asked Hartman, "Was that the good news or the bad news you gave us?"
Hartman shrugged and said, "The drinking fountain is also not working."

• Mayor Larry Minnich said the county is asking all municipalities to submit data on expenses incurred as a result of the recent heavy rains. Minnich said he encourages Cleona residents who had property damage or had expenses due to the rain water or winds to provide that information to the borough office.
"That information should be submitted sooner rather than later," said Minnich.
• Councilman Patrick Haley reported the film "Wonder" will be shown on movie night at the Cleona Community Park on Aug. 17. Tentative plans are in place for Cy Emery, author of, "Hiding in the Light," a book that touches on bullying, to speak before the film. The movie will start at dusk.
•Police Chief Jeffrey Farneski said the 205 calls to which his department responded in July was the highest call volume ever handled by the Cleona Police Department in a single month. Eighty-six of the calls were in North Annville Township.

Q: SpringMVC how to populate part of the model from a JS array on form submition? Probably the following description of the issue I'm encountering will be a bit vague, but I'll try to explain as good as I can.
I have a form that is being submitted to a Spring mvc controller. Additionally to the information from that form I want to populate an array of the model exposed by the controller, from an array I created in JavaScript.
On the server side, I want take the data received from the form and that array and persist it in a DB.
How do I populate the array I have on the server side, from the array created in JS when I submit the form?

A: Here is how I would do that :
Add a javascript listener to the submit event of the form. Before submitting the form, add fields to it with the values of the javascript array.
On the server side, make sure that the model as a collection attribute corresponding to these added fieds.
You could also serialize the array (in JSON for example) and put it in one field, and deserialize it on the server side.

I have been a fan of white chocolate macadamia nut cookies for as long as I can remember... I particularly love them when made with salted roasted macadamias, since the combination of salty toasty nuts and sweet white chocolate is pretty difficult to beat.
I'm also a big fan of the macadamia nut pie -- which I fell in love with in 1998 when a business associate mailed one to me as a Christmas gift. Since I'm a nice person, I immediately cracked open the package and shared the bounty with my colleagues -- but soon regretted the decision. Let's put it this way, the word "luscious" doesn't even begin to describe that deliciously salty sweet pie. In fact, I've been conspiring to make a pilgrimage to Hawaii to pay homage to the macadamia nut ever since.
It probably goes without saying that if someone challenged me to make something delicious with macadamia nuts, I'd be most likely to think of a sweet application for them. But, those Daring Cooks... they're sly. Margie of More Please (who also happens to be a local food blogger -- yay!!) and Natashya of Living in the Kitchen with Puppies chose to challenge all of the Daring Cooks to make their own nut butter from scratch, and then use the nut butter in a SAVORY recipe.
Hmm. I'll admit I had to think about this one for a moment.
It's not that I've never eaten a savory recipe made with nut butter. After all, there's nothing quite like a mole made with almond butter or an Asian noodle dish made with peanut sauce. But, I wanted to do something a little different. And less... well... expected.
So, I enlisted my usual compadre in crime, Peef, to help me think of a great savory application for nut butter. Our two brains ground around on the topic for quite some time (pun intended), and we finally decided on a plan.
The credit for the burger concept belongs to Peef, who is always coming up with new and wonderful ways to combine meat and bread. He may have been slightly inspired by the Barrie burger, which is served at a little local burger joint called AJ Bombers (if you're on twitter, you've probably heard of them). The Barrie burger consists of a cheeseburger topped with bacon and... peanut butter. Actually a fairly brilliant combination, master-minded by @KateBarrie, and enjoyed by many in the humble city of Milwaukee.
But, we're not complete copy-catters (though you might remain unconvinced if you look back in our archives at the Stendler breakfast burrito or the Buttafuoco tomato sandwich -- both Comet Cafe knock-offs). And I was pretty determined to do something wonderful with macadamia nut butter. So, we settled on that classic combination -- teriyaki chicken and pineapple. To take the challenge truly over the top, we also added a Daring Baker's challenge -- homemade brioche buns.
While the dough for the burger buns was rising, we put our heads together and came up with a nearly perfect marinade for the chicken. A bit of pineapple juice, some soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and a whisper of brown rice vinegar. Taste and... perfect.
We mixed the chicken with the pineapple mixture and put everything aside to marinate in the fridge. In the meantime, we took about a cup of roasted salted macadamia nuts (this seems to be the only way we can find them here in Wisconsin), and made our nut butter. We used about one cup of macadamia nuts, which produced approximately 1/2 cup of butter.
Thirty seconds in the food processor was all it took to create a creamy delicious butter. And, of course, the first thing we did was to stick our fingers into the bowl to get a sample. Smooth, creamy, nutty, slightly salty... dare I say buttery?
The thing about macadamia nut butter is that it's scarily addicting. In fact, the both of us stopped just short of simply taking out a couple of spoons and finishing up the batch right then and there. But, we refrained. And, as painful as it was, our burgers were far better for it.
After the chicken had marinated for a couple of hours, we hauled out the KitchenAid meat grinder attachment that we got from my parents for Christmas and slopped the chicken bits right into it, along with about one-fourth of a large red bell pepper (which added both color and flavor).
We probably should have drained off more of the marinade, since the resulting ground meat was a little bit damp. But, we solved that problem by adding a few crushed saltine crackers to the mix. We formed the chicken into patties and put them on a plate in the refrigerator to give them a bit more time to firm up before we grilled them, along with a few slices of pineapple.
A homemade hamburger bun, a slathering of fresh macadamia nut butter, a perfectly grilled teriyaki burger, and a slice of grilled pineapple -- there's something for everyone on this burger. The freshly ground meat was tender, the burger was juicy, and the flavors were outstanding. A little bit of sweet, a little bit of salty... and all kinds of great synergy between the pineapple, red peppers, macadamia nuts, and soy sauce.
And don't forget to check out other Daring Cooks' Challenges! Lots of creative folks out there whipping up nut butter.
Oh what a beautiful take on this month's challenge! Absolutely loving this combo!
Mmmm, beautiful AND delicious. Those brioche rolls are just the best thing ever, aren't they?
The peanut butter topped burger is big here in MN too so I can see that this would be a hit as well.
Holy deliciousness. I love macadamia nuts, but almost never have them, so this burger sounds so decadent and scrumptious... And the homemade brioche buns are just, so to speak, the icing on the cake.
Awesome job on the challenge.
Those buns really do look good! The burgers and nut butter too! I think you guys outdid yourselves here!
MMMMmmmm. I just bought some macadamia nuts (and then have had the Turtles song I'm Chief Kamanawanalea(We're the Royal Macadamia Nuts) stuck in my head ever since. I had to go and download it in hopes to get it out of my brain.), and now am tempted to use them for this awesome application instead of for the vegan probiotic cheese I was going to do.
But my food pro is not very strong, methinks. I tried to make a nut butter in it once or twice, and it did not do the job. I'll have to earmark this one for after my VitaMix fund jar fills up!!!
Wow! These look delicious. I initially would never think macadamia butter would go with burgers, but after seeing your post I'm intrigued. Good job!
In fact your pilgrimage should be to Australia where macadamia are indigenous not Hawaii. Everything about your burger is superb the Brioche bun the patties and the pineapple. The photos are lovely and the overall flavour is astounding. Cheers from the Audax in Sydney Australia.
I've made macadamia nut pie...and yeah. It's amazing.
These burgers look incredibly awesome! I love the idea of macadamia nut sauce. Next time I get my hands on some...I'll be all over this.
WOW! Those buns look great! I have never made homemade buns and think it would be worth it. And you ground your own chicken? Holy cra*! Awesome job!!!!!
Let me repeat - Teriyaki Chicken Burgers with Pineapple & Macadamia Nut Butter? For real, Lo? Holy heck balls. Yes, to all of it. DROOL.
Have you ever seen the White-Castle-style burger recipe on My Tasty Treasures? That one has the peanut butter IN the burgers instead of on top. I'm a little scared to try that, but those who have say it's wonderful.
Amy - You crack me up. We <3 you.
Rachel - Haven't seen it, but I'm intrigued.
I was actually pleasantly surprised by the Barrie burger. I like peanut butter, but am not the biggest fan -- so I wasn't really expecting much.
Rachel - Lo beat me to it, but I have to say it's a must try! The peanut butter really works well with the burger. I, however can eat any nut butter straight from a spoon (or finger), so I might have a biased view on these flavors together.
These look amazing, as I am literally wiping the drool off my keyboard. I think I may have just found what I want to make for dinner tonight!
Ooo, now that is something I should have thought of!! Macadamia butter on a delicious burger.. Mmm, I am soooo gonna make that very very soon!
Very cool and original idea. They sound fantastic!
savory recipe made with nut butter is new to me too! This sounds deliciously interesting! :) Looks great. And the rolls are perfect!
I love what you did with the challenge! The burgers & buns look flippin' fabulous. I have a tendency to avoid chicken burgers, but you've convinced me to give it a go with your teriyaki marinade and macadamia nut butter topping. Those brioche buns were pretty convincing also!
Wow, your burger sounds fabulous. I've never thought of making mac nut butter and will have to try it. Thanks for the awesome recipe!

CI Symposium on Climate Change with Ursula K. Heise, Claire Colebrook, and Dipesh Chakrabarty
Critical Inquiry is thrilled to announce a symposium on climate change featuring Ursula K. Heise, Claire Colebrook, and Dipesh Chakrabarty held on 7 February 2020 from 2:00–6:00 pm in Classics 110.
The event is free and open to the public on a first come, first served basis. Light refreshments will be available. More information about each speaker and their papers can be found below.
Ursula K. Heise
Climate Justice and Urban Narrative
Climate change, as Mike Hulme has emphasized, cannot be dissociated from the stories we tell about climate. This lecture will ask how the concept of justice inflects commonly told stories about climate change. It will explore the role that justice plays in a series of nonfiction books about climate change that focus primarily on urban futures, such as Jeff Goodell's The Water Will Come, Ashley Dawson's Extreme Cities, and David Wallace-Wells' The Uninhabitable Earth, so as to highlight recurring story templates and their implications for arguments about justice. These narratives, like a great deal of cli-fi, rely on the age-old trope of the drowning city as a symbol for the passing of civilizations. But some recent narrative works, such as Nguyễn-Võ Nghiêm-Minh's film Nước 2030 (Water 2030, 2014) and Kim Stanley Robinson's New York 2140 (2017), reenvision the drowning city so as to offer new stories about inequality and justice on a changing planet.
Anthropocene Objects: The Lifeboat
Perhaps one of the most common criticisms of the West, or the Anthropos of the Anthropocene, concerns the status of things and objects. If Indigenous and ancient cultures could treat trees, rivers, and other nonhumans as persons, the West increasingly disenchanted the earth, allowing for the reduction of what is other than the human subject. Nowhere is this more evident than in feminist criticisms of objectification, and in critical race theory's account of social death. If vitalism and new materialism seek to render the world alive, granting everything its own world, do these forms of revitalization create an alibi for ongoing processes of objectification? Is it dehumanizing to live life as a thing, or is "the human"––with its conception of being a pure end and not means precisely the mythos of the Anthropocene that needs to be jettisoned?
One might create a contrast between a detached and autonomous subject for whom the world is an occupied place or environment (even if the environment becomes increasingly important for us), and an existence that is best thought of as "poor in world." Here one exists and negotiates one's milieu without a profound sense of one's subjectivity. The criticism of disenchantment and objectification has a history and force beyond recent Anthropocene studies, including European Romanticism and feminist philosophy. What one might retain from all these criticisms of objectification is that the reduction of the world to mere matter, calculable substance or a domain of inert things not only impoverishes the existence of the self or subject, it also creates the current crisis generally known as the end of the world. Is it possible that one might not orient oneself towards one's milieu as if it were nothing more than an object or means? Is it possible to treat what is not human with some degree of personhood? I will explore these questions by way of one figural object, the lifeboat.
Dipesh Chakrabarty
The Planet and the Human: Thinking Beyond the Globe
Beginning from the proposition that the phenomenon of global warming leads us to make a distinction between "the globe" and "the planet" as historical categories, this talk will discuss how this emerging distinction could contribute to the creation of a new and necessary philosophical anthropology.

Hadrian's Wall may have crumbled in places, but it's still a sight to behold.
Even though they are hundreds and, in some cases, thousands, of years old, many ancient walls still stand across the globe. Some of these structures, such as Hadrian's Wall (pictured), are popular tourist attractions, while others are crumbling, mostly forgotten relics that give history buffs a chance to come face-to-face with the past. There are even a few instances where ancient walls have survived urbanization and now stand amidst malls and skyscrapers as a reminder of a city's ancient roots.
Except for a few famous examples, these structures are often overshadowed by historic castles or artifact-filled museums. But they really are living parts of the past, providing a chance to experience the ancient world outside of a sterile exhibit space.

Enlarged Spleen Mononucleosis can cause swelling in the spleen, which can raise the risk of a rupture of the organ if too much pressure is applied (something that might happen in a fall or from someone bumping into you, which is why doctors recommend avoiding strenuous activity and contact sports while recovering and …
Enlarged spleen. Head and body aches. Liver involvement, such as mild liver damage that can cause temporary jaundice, a yellow discoloration of the skin and whites of the eyes due to abnormally high levels of bilirubin (bile pigmentation) in the bloodstream.
A fever and sore throat may last for about two weeks. Muscle aches and fatigue may last for two to four weeks. An enlarged spleen may take up to eight weeks to go back to normal.
An enlarged spleen typically causes no signs or symptoms, but sometimes it causes: Pain or fullness in the left upper belly that can spread to the left shoulder. A feeling of fullness without eating or after eating a small amount because the spleen is pressing on your stomach. Low red blood cells (anemia)
Splenic rupture is a rare but serious complication affecting 0.1% to 0.5% of patients with mononucleosis. Current guidelines (based on published case reports) recommend complete activity restriction for 3 weeks after onset of mononucleosis symptoms to reduce rupture risk.
A small number of people with mononucleosis may never have a positive test. The highest number of antibodies occurs 2 to 5 weeks after mono begins. They may be present for up to 1 year. In rare cases, the test is positive even though you do not have mono.
Mononucleosis rarely leads to a serious condition called chronic EBV infection. In chronic EBV infection, you have long-lasting symptoms and a viral infection that lasts longer than usual after your original mononucleosis diagnosis.
Chronic Active Epstein-Barr virus is characterized by persistent inflammatory symptoms such as fever, lymphadenopathy, liver dysfunction, mononucleosis-like symptoms for more than 3 months, elevated EBV DNA PCR in peripheral blood, infiltration of tissues by EBV positive lymphocytes, and skin lesions hydroa …
The main symptom of a ruptured spleen is severe pain in the abdomen, especially on the left side. The pain may also be referred to (felt in) the left shoulder, and can make breathing painful. Other symptoms, which are associated with a decrease in blood pressure due to internal bleeding, include: Feeling lightheaded.
So doctors recommend that teens who have mono avoid contact sports for at least a month after symptoms are gone. Don't do any strenuous activities until your doctor says it's OK. In most cases, mono symptoms go away in a matter of weeks with plenty of rest and fluids.
With the dominant lymphatic side, including the spleen, being on the left side of the body, sleeping on the left permits for the body to better filter through the lymph nodes lymph fluid and waste. Proteins, glucose, and various other metabolites are carried by the lymph fluid.
Spleen pain is usually felt as a pain behind your left ribs. It may be tender when you touch the area. This can be a sign of a damaged, ruptured or enlarged spleen.
Drink plenty of water and fruit juices. Fluids help relieve a fever and sore throat and prevent dehydration.
Take an over-the-counter pain reliever. …
Gargle with salt water.
Start in RLQ (so you don't miss a giant spleen).
Get your fingers set then ask patient to take a deep breath. …
When patient expires, take up new position.
Note lowest point of spleen below costal margin, texture of splenic contour, and tenderness.
If spleen is not felt, repeat with pt lying on right side.
However, spontaneous rupture or atraumatic rupture of spleen secondary to infectious mononucleosis is rare with an estimation of 0.06%2 to 0.5%3 and it is the most frequent cause of death in infectious mononucleosis.
Generally, recovery from a ruptured spleen can take anywhere from 3 to 12 weeks, depending on the severity and treatment.
Typically, a mono patient should not return to strenuous exercise or contact sports for a minimum of one, and sometimes two, months. Regardless, sports should not be resumed until cleared by the medical provider.
Chronic stress can weaken your immune system, so it's possible that this could be one trigger leading to a bout of recurrent mono.
You may experience fatigue and swollen lymph nodes for a few more weeks. In some cases, fatigue can last for months. Persistent fatigue may be a sign of chronic EBV infection. See your doctor if your fatigue lasts for more than a month after mono has been diagnosed.
Ascorbic Acid Kills Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Positive Burkitt Lymphoma Cells and EBV Transformed B-Cells in Vitro, but not in Vivo. Amber N.
If the infection that causes your enlarged spleen is caused by bacteria, antibiotics may help. If a virus caused your infection, as is the case with mononucleosis, antibiotics would be of no help. In serious cases, your doctor might suggest that you have your spleen removed, which is called a splenectomy.
Then tiny bits of material are placed into the blood vessel to help form a clot. If we cannot stop the bleeding, we may need to remove the spleen. For 4 weeks, do not take aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve).
You might feel more tired than usual and have a mild fever and sore throat. Your lymph nodes, tissue that normally acts as filters, may swell under your arms and in your neck and groin area. You also may have body aches and pains, swollen tonsils, headache, and even a skin rash.
Scientists have known for decades that EBV, which causes an infectious disease named mononucleosis or "kissing disease," is also linked to several autoimmune disorders, including multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Neurologic complications of infectious mononucleosis, such as the development of Guillain-Barre syndrome, have been rarely reported and usually present late in the course of the disease.
Some otherwise healthy people with CMV infection develop a mononucleosis-like syndrome. CMV is a type of herpes virus. All herpes viruses remain in your body for the rest of your life after infection. If your immune system becomes weakened in the future, this virus may have the chance to reactivate, causing symptoms.
High-dose intravenous vitamin C is an effective treatment for infection with the Epstein-Barr virus.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) mononucleosis.
Toxoplasma gondii infection.
Acute retroviral syndrome due to HIV infection.
HHV-6 (human herpes virus 6)
Adenovirus infection.
Primary infection with herpes simplex virus type 1.
Strep pyogenes pharyngitis ("strep throat")
Epstein-Barr virus, or EBV, is one of the most common human viruses in the world. It spreads primarily through saliva. EBV can cause infectious mononucleosis, also called mono, and other illnesses. Most people will get infected with EBV in their lifetime and will not have any symptoms.
Symptoms you may experience with an enlarged spleen include: pressure or pain in the left upper part of your abdomen (near the stomach), feeling full without eating a large meal, or pain your left shoulder blade or shoulder area when taking a deep breath.
A ruptured spleen can cause life-threatening bleeding into your abdominal cavity.
Conversely, non-traumatic splenic rupture is common and often related to (also known as pathological rupture) a diseased spleen. Common causes of non traumatic splenic rupture include myeloproliferative diseases, vasculitis and infections (such as malaria or infectious mononucleosis).
The throat may be very red, with white spots or pus on the tonsils. This can initially look similar to strep throat. Fever of 100-103° F (37.8-39.4° C), which is usually worst during the first week and may worsen at night.
If your sore throat is so severe that you have trouble breathing or eating, your doctor may give you prednisone, a steroid. Since your spleen, which is an organ in your abdomen, often becomes enlarged when you have mono, it's more likely to rupture.
The most important thing you can do when you have mono is get plenty of rest and drink enough liquids. You may want to take a pain reliever such as acetaminophen (one brand name: Tylenol) or ibuprofen (some brand names: Advil, Motrin, Nuprin). Do not give aspirin to children with mono.
It is important to avoid foods that are "damp": alcohol, fat, fast sugars and excessive quantities of dairy products — for example, "fromage blanc," which has a moisture content of 80%. The spleen is sensitive to erratic eating habits and can be weakened by skipping breakfast, copious or late dinners, and snacking.
It's situated next to your spleen. While gas is normal, splenic flexure syndrome can cause excessive gas and discomfort. This condition, considered a chronic digestive disorder, is thought to be a sub-type of irritable bowel syndrome.
Symptoms of an Enlarged Spleen The symptoms typically involved in an enlarged spleen are usually related to the underlying cause, such as fatigue and shortness of breath in anemia, for example.
An enlarged spleen is the result of damage or trauma to the spleen from any of several different medical conditions, diseases, or types of physical trauma. Infections, liver problems, blood cancers, and metabolic disorders can all cause your spleen to become enlarged, a condition called splenomegaly.

Opening business opportunities for Native Americans
Jun 26, 2014 | Event Updates, NCAIED.org News, News, Newsletter, Press Releases, RES D.C.
BY GARY DAVIS / THE HILL'S CONGRESS BLOG / 10 JULY 2014
Click Here to view Op/Ed as first published on TheHill.com
We're living in historic times for Indian Country – and, despite the heavy news coverage, it goes far beyond the name of the professional football team that calls our nation's capital home.
Four weeks ago, President Obama visited the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation in North Dakota – only the third visit to a reservation by a sitting president. While in North Dakota, Obama pledged to continue and expand his administration's work to create new economic opportunities, improve Indian schools, and address critical health issues on reservations and across Indian Country.
During RES DC, the Senate Indian Affairs Committee held a hearing to discuss how we could encourage investment in Indian Country – a hearing in which I was honored to participate. Significantly, the hearing occurred during the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development's (National Center) Reservation Economic Summit in Washington, DC (RES DC).
Through RES DC, the National Center seeks to bring Indian Country to our nation's capital to expand business opportunities, entrepreneurship, and provide networking opportunities with leaders in government, business, and tribes. Though this is our first conference in DC, RES is the largest and longest-running American Indian business event in the country.
RES DC featured great speakers and presenters from across many government agencies and leaders in top corporations such as Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, and the Nova Corporation, and we also announced the launch of our online business development and training initiative, the National Center Edge portal.
The National Center Edge initiative will provide 24/7 online access and training to Indian Country across the fields of entrepreneurship, small business, emerging markets, business development, and much more. We are very excited about what this initiative will mean for the advancement of American Indian businesses and the development of future entrepreneurs.
The National Center and its programs and services seek to alleviate a very real challenge among our people. Native American poverty rates far outpace the national average, exceeding 60 percent in some areas. High poverty leads to myriad other issues that plague our communities.
We believe that economic opportunity is the way out of poverty. While self-reliance has always been important across Indian Country, there are certainly ways the federal government can assist in our efforts to create good jobs and opportunity for American Indians.
In fact, the administration recently announced several new initiatives to improve the economic situation for Native Americans and Native American businesses through some of the very agencies who were represented at our RES DC conference.
The USDA will host a "Made in Rural America" forum this fall as a way to expand export opportunities for Native-owned businesses. In addition to pledging to link Native American businesses with government assistance programs, The Small Business Administration's Program for Investment in Micro-Entrepreneurs (PRIME) provides assistance to low-income entrepreneurs who lack sufficient training and education to gain access to capital to establish and expand their small businesses – many of them Native American-owned. In addition, the Department of Interior has pledged to fully implement the Buy Indian Act to increase procurement purchases by Native-owned small businesses by 10 percent.
Congress can get involved, too, by taking appropriate steps to ensure that the Buy Indian Act is fully enforced. We also hope that Congress follows through on its commitment and fully funds the Office of Native American Business Development within the Department of Commerce.
We have seen marked progress for Indian Country over the last several years, and the President deserves praise for his creation of the White House Council on Native American Affairs and convening annual White House Tribal Nations Conferences. It's not a stretch to say that our nation-to-nation relationship with the White House has never been stronger.
But there is still more to be done to ensure that "every American Indian and Alaskan Native who works hard has the chance to get ahead," as the President said prior to his visit to the reservation. Native American business owners and entrepreneurs stand ready to partner and lead in this effort.

Hi everyone, so as I'm waiting on my XR to be delivered I'm trying to get some info, it will come with the black Akrapovic as shown on he image, not sure which version but I suppose it will be the latest euro 4 compliant which is with a fixed baffle.
Any idea if it's actuall possible to still remove it and how hard it would be or not possible at all?
Options are, drill through the spot weld where the internal bolt goes, or get a socket tap the baffle in a bit then pull out.
I tapped too much so got stuck!
So I got an exhaust expander, slid it in expanded keeping the nice circle then using some wood and wire coat hanger yanked it a couple times and straight out no issues!
There is a video on you tube of a Spanish chap doing it, which I can't find sorry!
And... why would you want to that ???
I would like to hear the sound difference and choose which one would be more adequate to commute in the busy roads of London.
I've had an akra before in my MT-07 and it made a good difference for other drivers to notice me.
What can go wrong with an end can to make me use the warranty?
And what are the chances of anything happening to it?
My experience with Akra is great build quality and I haven't heard anyone complaining about any issues.
I am not entirely sure that you are forfeiting your warranty on the Akra can, but rather on the motor! Having owned bikes in both the UK and US, I get the distinct feeling that there is a lot more leeway here in the US as far as modifications go, and how they affect warranty (and insurance for that matter). I was always worried in the UK that the insurance company would blame me being T-boned on having an aftermarket end can and then tossing out my insurance claim. I had similar feeling with warranty and the dealership.
I have just installed the full Akra system (with black end can) and I will be removing the baffle.
I am not entirely sure that you are forfeiting your warranty on the Akra can, but rather on the motor!
Why would it affect the engine warranty?
Also the euro3 is removable baffle and it doesn't affect engine, only noise (maybe emissions?) from my understanding, so that's why I assume the Euro4 and 3 are the same with only one difference, a spot weld instead of a screw. So by removing the baffle on a euro 4 I only interfere with the end can and not the rest of the bike?
Is this safe to assume?


When I was a kid, I saw for the first time, a crazy custom car in a magazine. It was really cool.
Later, I bought a book, Jay Ohrberg's Hollywood Cars, with creations of George Barris, Carl Casper, Ed Roth and many others. Back then, I was fascinated with big slicks and monster engines with injector stacks, blowers and other horsepowermakers on these "cars". Naturally, I turned to model-building to make these fantasy cars come closer to me.
But that was hard here in Switzerland--the model stores, are empty of showrods and crazy creations. And when I ask the dealers for them, their said "What the hell is....." or "No, it's too US-Style for us...." Not good for me!
However, I told a friend that when he goes to the US, I'd gave him a big list and he'd buy them there for me. And so he did send me a lot of show rod models--especially a lot of Tom Daniel's models, and wow I was happy! I'm the biggest fan of TD!
Now I've built models over 20 years, and I don't know how many I built--so I don't know when I built this Groovy Grader, but it was many years ago.
It's Box-Stock. I only changed the light on the front, plus the slicks and I put a new injection so the scoop would clear the roof and reversed it so it faces forward. The color is a tricky self-mixture of yellow and orange-- it changes the shine to the light direction.

Oswald Glait (Cham 1490 – Vienna 1546) was a German Anabaptist and Sabbatarian. Originally a follower of Balthasar Hubmaier, in 1527 in the Nikolsburg dispute he sided with the pacifist position of Hans Hut. He then appears in Silesia, along with Andreas Fischer, as a leader of an Anabaptist group there. He penned a booklet, Vom Sabbat, advocating the (re)institution of Saturday/Sabbath keeping as a Christian practice, thus restoring what Glaidt argued had been the original practice of the Apostolic church of the New Testament. There is also good evidence in this writing (lost, but carefully reconstructed by Daniel Liechty based on Caspar Schwenckfeldt's refutation of it) that Glaidt strongly believed that Christ's Second Coming was to occur in the very near future (this shows the extent of Hans Hut's influence on Glaidt at this time). Glaidt appears later in the sources attached to the nascent Hutterite group in Moravia. He was arrested and imprisoned in Vienna in 1545, then taken out at night and drowned in autumn 1546.

Un cop alliberada, fou enviada pel partit a la Unió Soviètica on es va llicenciar en eslavística a la Universitat de Moscou doctorant-se amb una tesi doctoral sobre les relacions russo-hispàniques en l'època de Napoleó Bonapart.

Durant la Segona Guerra Mundial fou evacuada als Urals. El 1943 començà com a locutora a Ràdio Pirinenca, on va emetre durant 25 anys. També va residir a Praga, Bucarest, Belgrad i Sofia. Finalment va tornar a Espanya en 1967, llicenciant-se en Filosofia i Lletres a la Universitat de Madrid. Durant la Transició espanyola es va establir al Grau de Castelló i fou escollida regidora a l'ajuntament de Castelló de la Plana dins les llistes del PCPV a les eleccions municipals espanyoles de 1979 i en les del PSPV-PSOE a les eleccions municipals espanyoles de 1983, arribant a tinent d'alcalde. Entre 1979 i 1982 fou Directora General de Benestar Social del Consell del País Valencià.

Fou elegida senadora per la província de Castelló pel PSPV-PSOE a les eleccions generals espanyoles de 1986. Dins del Senat d'Espanya fou vocal de les Comissions d'Afers Exteriors, Indústria i Energia i del Defensor del Poble i dels Drets Humans.

Sulfur compounds in petroleum streams can have detrimental effects on the performance and longevity of the catalysts used in hydrocarbon processing. Furthermore, the toxicity and odor associated with sulfur compounds is of significant environmental importance. In short, to protect both processing equipment and the environment, the ability to quantify sulfur compounds to ppb levels is imperative.
Gas chromatography is the method of choice for analyzing ppb level sulfur compounds in petroleum streams. Both packed and capillary GC columns have been successfully used for analyzing sulfurs and hydrocarbons in petroleum, although this often is a difficult application. With packed columns, the choice of column tubing is critical for accurate determination of sulfur compounds, particularly at low concentrations. Analyses on glass, PTFE, or stainless steel columns all present distinct problems. Glass columns exhibit poor inertness and lack ruggedness for field or process control use, and results are subject to variability because of column-to-column variation in ID. PTFE tubing, although more robust than glass, is plagued by three significant problems: 1) shrinkage as the column cools causes back diffusion of oxygen and water into the packing material which, if not addressed, can cause retention times to vary by as much as 15%; 2) oxygen and water diffuse through the tubing wall, significantly decreasing column longevity and creating reproducibility problems; and 3) a maximum column temperature limit of only 210 ºC makes it impossible to quickly elute high molecular weight sulfur compounds. Without specialized surface passivation, stainless steel columns simply do not offer the inertness needed to monitor active sulfur compounds at ppb levels.
One of the proven approaches for analyzing ppb level sulfur compounds by GC is to use a thick film, 100% polydimethylsiloxane Rtx-1 capillary column. Figure 1 illustrates the analysis of sulfur compounds on a 60 m x 0.53 mm ID x 7 μm Rtx-1 column. The thick film is needed to resolve the volatile sulfur compounds, but makes for long retention times for higher molecular weight sulfur compounds. Alternatively, a 30 m x 0.32 mm ID x 4 μm Rtx-1 column can be used to analyze higher molecular weight sulfur compounds, such as thiophenes.
Another excellent approach for analyzing low molecular weight sulfur compounds is the use of micropacked columns. The Rt-XLSulfur micropacked column contains a specially deactivated divinylbenzene porous polymer in stainless steel tubing, deactivated through the Sulfinert passivation process. The inertness of both the packing material and the tubing ensure a column that is capable of analyzing active sulfur compounds to 10 ppb. Moreover, the Rt-XLSulfur micropacked column displays minimal bleed, well within the limits necessary for ppb level sulfur analysis, after a brief conditioning period (<30 minutes). The maximum temperature limit, 310 °C, allows rapid elution of the higher molecular weight analytes. This column achieves the critical separation of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbonyl sulfide (COS), and sulfur dioxide (SO2), as defined in the International Society of Beverage Technologists (ISBT) Procedure 14.0. Figure 2 shows the highly volatile H2S and COS separated using a 1 m x 0.75 mm ID Rt-XLSulfur micropacked column. Additionally, these volatile sulfur compounds are well-retained and well-resolved from the hydrocarbons that could interfere with quantification on some sulfur-specific detectors (Figure 3).
Note that to achieve this high level of sensitivity, every component of the sample pathway must be inert: the porous polymer, the column tubing, the column end fittings, and, additionally, the sample loop and/or inlet liner. Sample pathways in the analyses shown in Figures 1 through 3 were passivated using the Sulfinert deactivation process. Figure 4 shows a schematic diagram of a system designed to analyze volatile and reactive sulfur compounds. From the Sulfinert-treated sample cylinder used to collect and store the sample, to the Sulfinert-treated valve and sample loop used to transfer the sample to the GC system, to either the inert capillary or packed column, Restek offers a complete line of products to ensure consistent and reliable analysis of ppb level sulfur compounds in petroleum streams.
