Nobile Charles-Gaspard de La Rive was the second son of Ami-Jean de La Rive and Jeanne-Elisabeth Sellon. A landowning noble family, the de La Rives had for centuries been prominent members of Geneva's Protestant patriciate. After receiving his primary education at the Collège de Genève, Gaspard entered the Académie de Genève in May 1789 to study law. Although he had studied some natural science, he was still a student of law in August 1794 when the first Genevan Tribunal Révolutionnaire sentenced him to a year's house arrest. However, the relaxation of the Terror after 9 Thermidor freed him to emigrate, whereupon he went to Edinburgh to study medicine. He received his doctorate in 1797 with the publication of his thesis, Tentamen physiologicum de calore animali, an unoriginal critique especially of Adair Crawford, in which de La Rive followed his teacher John Allen in attributing animal heat to the combustion in the blood of particles derived from food and oxygen absorbed through the lungs.
De La Rive returned to Geneva late in 1799 and shortly thereafter (probably in 1800) married the well-born Marguerite-Adelaïde Boissier, with whom he had two sons. He soon took charge of the Hospice des Aliénés, where he devoted some thirty years to improving the treatment of the insane. In November 1802 he was named honorary professor (without pay) of pharmaceutical chemistry at the Academy, filling one of the ten new honorary chairs created through the reform efforts of M. Pictet, who wanted a strong faculty of sciences within the Academy. In 1819, as Alexandre Marcet took over instruction in pharmaceutical chemistry, his title became that of honorary professor of general chemistry. He frequently gave series of lectures at the Academy and at the Musée Académique on medicine and, especially after 1818, on experimental chemistry. His well-equipped laboratory was outfitted at his own expense; its doors were always open to visiting scientific dignitaries such as Davy, Arago, and Ampère; and indeed his generosity and personal interest contributed significantly to his contemporary reputation.
On 13 December 1813 he participated in the creation of the reactionary Conseil Provisoire (renamed Conseil d'État in 1814) and remained an active member of the government as conseiller d'état until his resignation on 19 June 1818. He was elected premier syndic in 1817. On 4 November 1818 the Conseil d'État created an extraordinary seat for him on the Sénat Académique, where he used his considerable influence in support of reforms aimed at freeing the Academy from ecclesiastical control and in strengthening its faculty of science. He authored the règlement of 11 November 1818 providing for the conferring of academic degrees by the faculties of science and of letters. Later, during his term as rector of the Academy (November 1823-March 1826), he was the major force behind efforts to transform the Academy into a university and to secure for it the beginnings of state financial support. Most important were the two regulations of 28 November 1825, which consolidated the control of the individual faculties over their own affairs and provided for specialized instruction in the sciences and in letters. He was prominent in the founding and initial funding of the Jardin Botanique in 1817 and of the Société de Lecture in 1818, the latter organized at the urging of A.-P. de Candolle to supplement Geneva's meager libraries.
De La Rive's actual scientific contributions were negligible, both intrinsically and historically. Excepting his work on electricity, his sixteen publications between 1797 and 1833 were predominantly reviews, translations, extracts, and commentaries, with an occasional paper on a minor chemical or medical topic. Perhaps most valuable were his expositions, among the first on the Continent, of Davy's electrochemistry, Dalton's atomic theory, and Berzelius' theory of definite proportions. His work appeared in Bibliothèque britannique, Geneva's foremost scientific and literary journal, and in its successor, Bibliothèque universelle, both of which enjoyed his editorial collaboration.
1. The confusion surrounding Gaspard's claims and Ampère's explanations is far out of proportion to the importance of the casse, Be that as it may, the relevant sources are Gaspard de La Rive, "Notice sur quelques expériences éelctro-magnétiques," in Bibliothèque universelle des sciences, belles-lettres et arts. Sciences et arts, 16 (1821), 201-203; and "Mémoire sur quelques nouvelles expériences électro-magnétiques et en particulier sur celles de Mr. Faraday," ibid.,18 (1821), 269-286, See also four letters of Ampère's—to S.S. van der Eyk, 12 Apr. 1822; to G. de La Rive, 12 June 1822; to F. Maurice, 6 July 1822; and to Faraday, 10 July 1822—published in Correspondance du grand Ampère, L. de launay, ed., 3 vols. (Paris, 1936-1943), II, 579, 580-582; III, 927; and II, 588, respectively. The letter to de La Rive was originally published as "Extrait d'une lettre de Mr. Ampère au prof. de la Rive sur des expériences électro-magnétiques," in Bibliothèque universell…,20 (1822), 185-192.
2. The relevant sources are Gaspard de La Rive, "lettre du Professeur de La Rive à M. Arago (datée le 22 juin 1822), sur des courans galvaniques,' in Annales de chimie et de physique, 2nd ser., 20 (1822), 269-275; a letter from Ampère to M. Pictet, dated 10 July 1822, published in the former's Correspondance, II, 583-585; August de La Rive," De l'action qu'exerce le globe terrestre sur une portion mobile du circuit voltaïque. (Mémoire lu à la Socieété de physique et d'histoire naturelle de Genéve le 4 septembre 1822),"in Bibliothèque universelle…,21 (1822), 29-48 (a footnote to the title adds that" Mr. Ampère, alors à Genève, assistoit àl cette séance" ). Pp. 29-42 are the memoir proper; pp. 42-47 are Auguste's version of Ampère;re's berbal explanation of the new experiments; pp. 47-48 describe two other experiments the two did together at Geneva. The version published in Annales de chimie et de physique, 2nd ser., 21 (1822), 24-48 ("Mémoire sur l'action qu'exerce …" ), is the same except that the middle segment (pp. 39-46) has been modified slightly by Ampère; in addition, there follows a note by Ampère on two other new experiments (pp. 48-53).
On the respective contributions of the two de La Rives, see also Gaspard's letter of 16 of Sept. 1822 to Berzelius, in Jac. Berzelius Bref, H. G. Söderbaum, ed., 14 vols. in 6 (Uppsala, 1912-1932), ( = Strödda Bref (1809-1847), III, pt. 2), 60-61; and letters by Ampère to C. J. Bredin,  Sept. 1822, and to A. de La Rive, 11-31 Oct. 1822, in his Correspondance, II, 509 and 603-604, respectively.
I. Original Works. Nearly complete bibliographies of Gaspard's scientific works are in Royal Society Catalogue of Scientific Papers, II, 217; Poggendorff, II, col. 657; and G. de Fère, "Charles-Gaspard de La Rive," in Nouvelle biographie générale depuis les temps les plus reculés jusqu'à nos jours, 46 vols. (Paris, 1853-1866), XXIX, cols. 603-606 (the bibliography, which follows a biography, is exten-sive but contains many errors). The Bibliothéque Publique et Universitaire de Genéve preserves three vols. of MSS containing letters by and to Gaspard and a journal kept during the years 1794 to 1799.
II. Secondary Literature. The most important source is the anonymous "Notice biographique sur M. le prof. G. De La Rive," in Bibliothèque universelle des sciences, belles-letters et arts. Sciences et arts, 55 (1834), 303-338, possibly written by A. Gautier, whose often identically worded obituary notice on Gaspard appeared in Mémoires de la Société de physique et d'histoire naturelle de Genéve, 10 (1834), xii-xiv. In addition to the biography by de Fère cited above, mention should also be made of A. Maury, "Charles-Gaspard de Larive," in Biographie universelle (Michaud) ancienne et moderne, new ed. (Paris, n.d.), XXIII, 264-265. A wealth of information of Gaspard's activities at the Academy is in C. Borgeaud, Histoire de l'Université de Genève, II , "L'Académie de Calvin dans l'Université de Napoléon, 1798-1814," and III , "L'Acadé-mie et l'Université au XIXe siècle, 1814-1900" (Geneva, 1909-0934), passim.

It's every photographer's dream to easily book clients who hire them multiple times and refer their friends and family members. But that dream doesn't always happen at the rate (and to the level) you might desire because potential clients just aren't sold on working with you when they land on your website.
When a visitor lands on your website and isn't 100% sold, he or she bounces right off of your website and heads to your competitor's.
2. A visitor lands on your website isn't 100% sold but reaches out to you anyway. You then spend hours back-and-forth via emails and on the phone trying to overcome all of her objections, help her "catch the vision," and see the value in booking you. Then, she either vanishes never to be heard from again or you've spent so much time convincing her to hire you that you've already lost your fee before you've started shooting or editing her photos.
Many websites simply serve up information on a platter without truly connecting with the target audience. This means that your target audience never really makes an attachment to you or sees themselves as the type of person you serve.
From the brand colors you choose to the photos you showcase to the copy on your web pages, your potential client needs to be able to link themselves to you. Whether something you say on your website makes them laugh, a color you select makes them feel like you offer a luxe service, or they're drawn into your brand photos because they're a young, rural family who loves lifestyle photography and your shots show young, rural families on country roads or playing in overgrown fields, they need to see themselves and connect.
Your website may just list out your services without providing any information on the types of packages you provide and the investment for your services. It might also just list out your packages and prices without casting the vision for the type of photography experience you offer and what clients can expect when working with you.
You might not address some of the common questions they have. You might also forget to speak to their pain points or values, so they just see you as another "package with a price" rather than a talented photographer who sees them and what they want to see in their final photos.
On the same note, you might also overwhelm them with too much information. Meaning they're confronted with walls of text and pages of information to scroll through or too many packages to choose from without clear differentiators.
From the home page to the about page to the service page, gallery and contact page, your website has to lead buyers on a clear path that involves a final objective.
Visitors will often leave a website because they're confused or aren't guided towards the actions to take. For example, if you want visitors to move from your home page to your service page, direct them there and give them a call to action to check out your services. Once they're on your services page and have seen what you offer, direct them to your contact page or to book a call on your calendar, depending on your objective.
Every page of your website must be a guided step towards hiring you.
When you don't provide the journey or the necessary information and connection on your website, potential clients end up contacting you over and over again to ask questions or have you "help" them through making a decision. You should have already helped them through that process on your website. Otherwise, you end up wasting so much valuable time responding and that's time you could devote to being fully present on your shoots or with your favorite people.
All of these items should be easily addressed in your client experience, so potential clients are already sold on working with you by the time they reach out.
If you want to create a completely branded client experience that does the selling, connecting and heavy lifting for you, saving you time and energy, reach out to me via the contact page to discover how I can help you create it.

Zero Coasties Were Paid To Create These Memes About The Government Shutdown
The Coast Guard is officially outta luck for a paycheck thanks to the government shutdown, which means that zero coasties have been paid to create some of the amazing memes being shared as a way to vent their frustration.

The Coast Guard is officially shit outta luck for a paycheck thanks to the government shutdown, which means that zero coasties have been paid to create some of the amazing memes being shared as a way to vent their frustration.
Often shared along with the hashtag #PayOurCoastGuard, the Facebook page Coast Guard Memes has been doing its part to lift the spirits of the Coast Guard's roughly 42,000 active duty members and about 8,000 civilians affected by the shutdown, among many others across the federal government.
Despite the lapse in CG funding — which comes from DHS instead of DoD, which is not affected by the shutdown — Coast Guardsman have been doing what they've been doing, rescuing fishermen, interdicting drug smugglers, and conducting patrols in the Arctic.
And, well, creating memes.

Like this one, which makes it pretty clear that the bills don't stop when the paycheck doesn't come.
And no one in the Coast Guard really cares who is to blame… as long as they get paid again.
Might want to hang onto that one.

This is a not so subtle dig at the letter shared on Tuesday from the Coast Guard Commandant, who said he was working to fix the problem (though he doesn't have much power here) while asking his people to "stay the course" and "serve with pride."
Although many of the Coast Guard memes are lighthearted and funny …
… Some offer less-than-stellar advice for getting by.
This is in reference to a memo released by the Coast Guard Support Center telling families that they might want to try holding garage sales, walking the neighbor's dogs, or becoming a mystery shopper to earn a little extra income. Not surprisingly, that letter was taken down after The Washington Post reported on it.
But clearly, there are plenty of Coast Guardsmen who are not happy right now.
And many are sharing this serious image on Facebook and Instagram instead of memes.

dkirschner's Gauntlet (PC)
[June 15, 2015 11:19:55 PM]
I wish I'd posted about Gauntlet months ago when I first played it so I could read exactly what I thought about it then. I bought it during the last (winter 2014) Steam sale for me and P to play co-op together. We played some, but my old computer couldn't run it very well and I thought the game sucked. P has been playing it a lot though. He's probably beat it with every character and he has lots of rare achievements. My new computer runs it perfectly, of course, and it turns out the game doesn't suck after all.
I chose the warrior, Thor, and once I got used to the controls and the flow of the game, more or less steamrolled my way to the final boss on normal. The final boss is kicking my ass though. The warrior is definitely not strong against ranged attacks, which you have to deal with aplenty on the final boss. I did read that his charge and leap attack make him invincible for a moment, so I need to try and charge into/leap attack when these gargoyles are shooting fireballs at me. That' the part where the battle tends to fall apart. I lose control, can't kill the gargoyles with everything else going on, get overwhelmed, and die. I also need to "clear the trash" before going after the mirror images.
To contextualize what I'm saying, the final boss flies around summoning various types of enemies. He starts with easier ones and works up to harder ones. Every so often, his sword gets away from him, and he splits into like 10 mirror images. You have to whack them all to find the real one. Once you damage him a bit, he gets the sword back and starts summoning again. But since he's been summoning, then there are a bunch of other enemies along with the mirror images. What I figured out is that he won't get his sword back until you do some % of damage to him, so you can slowly go about clearing the room first. I just haven't perfected it enough to win.
I did join some random co-op games tonight thinking I might sneak in a game that was at the end, but it never happened. I played in a few games for about half an hour, always as the Valkyrie because no one likes her for some reason. Anyway, I will try again later to kill the final boss. If I can't quite get it, I'll wait for P and he can help me out.
I doubt I'll play this much, not solo at least, after I down the final boss. It's a fun little game, but there's not a lot of depth to it. You don't get any new stats, there is no equipment to loot save about 10 "relics" you can purchase and upgrade. You can have two on at any given time. It's very much like the old Gauntlet, straight up hack and slash, no pesky stats to get in the way. But that doesn't hold my attention terribly long! There are four characters you can play, but I don't really see the point of going through with more than one since they begin and end the exact same, save their three or four different abilities and whatever relics you accumulated money for. I like playing different characters in these types of games, like Diablo, because you can build them differently and specialize them in various ways. These are like buying pre-packaged sandwiches. It comes with whatever's on it; you don't add anything else.

The Interreg V-A France-Switzerland 2014-2020 programme was adopted by the European Commission on 16 December 2014.
Like its predecessor, Interreg France-Suisse 2014-2020 supports cross-border projects involving at least one French partner and one Swiss partner. On the French side, the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) is involved in financing the project. On the Swiss side, federal and / or cantonal credits are used to finance the project.


FRIDAY, Feb. 13, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- The brains of so-called "superagers" are much different than normal seniors, according to a new study.
Superagers are people aged 80 and older whose memories are as sharp as those many decades younger. Learning more about their brains may help lead to new ways to protect the memories of other seniors, and to combat dementia, the Northwestern University researchers said.
Compared to the brains of normal seniors of similar ages, superagers' brains have a thicker region of the cortex, far fewer tangles (a primary indication of Alzheimer's disease), and a large supply of neurons linked to higher social intelligence.
"The brains of the superagers are either wired differently or have structural differences when compared to normal individuals of the same age," study senior author Changiz Geula, a research professor at Northwestern's Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center in Chicago, said in a university news release.
"It may be one factor, such as expression of a specific gene, or a combination of factors that offers protection," Geula added.
"Identifying the factors that contribute to the superagers' unusual memory capacity may allow us to offer strategies to help the growing population of 'normal' elderly maintain their cognitive function and guide future therapies to treat certain dementias," study first author Tamar Gefen, a clinical neuropsychology doctoral candidate, said in the news release.

Contrary to popular belief, exercise is not only about weight loss and muscle tone. Regular exercise can enhance your life in a variety of ways.
Regularly exercising contributes to improved mental and physical health, sound sleep and good mood. Whether you walk, swim or run, any physical activity can reduce your stress levels. Exercise leads to the release of endorphins, the feel-good chemicals, in the brain. It boosts your self-confidence and promotes a positive self-image.
The human body was designed to move. Physical activity keeps the brain healthy by improving blood circulation and stimulating the release of chemicals that protect the brain. Those who exercise do not easily fall prey to conditions like Alzheimer's and Dementia.
You do not need an expensive gym membership to create a healthy exercise routine. Begin by setting achievable goals, such as 15 minutes of gentle exercise regularly and then building it up gradually.
Exercise also adds to your weight loss efforts by helping you burn excess fat. Aerobic exercise or cardio is a good example. Overall, there is no doubt that exercise has an extremely positive effect on your overall physical and mental health and well-being.

Cortisol is produced when you experience high levels of prolonged stress. While some cortisol is useful and helps you combat the situation you are in, high levels of cortisol over a long period of time can ruin your metabolism, among other things and even make you gain weight.
A sudden spike in blood sugar allows your body to cope up with trauma. But over a long period, it will play havoc with your blood sugar and insulin levels, ruining your weight loss plans.
Cortisol helps your gut and brain communicate. Your immunity is partly dependent upon the good bacteria in your gut, also known as the intestinal flora. Cortisol can affect bacterial colonization, compromising immune response. This further affects the hunger centre of the brain. You may have noticed stressed people bingeing on food.
Stress demands that the brain get loads of energy quickly in the form of glucose to fight back. This makes the cardiovascular system work extra hard to ensure glucose reaches the brain rapidly. This means extra pressure on the blood vessels.
Since the body needs extra energy to cope with stress, it asks for extra fuel and sets the metabolism such that it can save (or store) as much as possible. This translates into fat accumulation. And weight gain.
To lose weight, you need healthier ways to manage stress, maybe even prevent it as far as possible. Failure to do so will result in gaining weight instead of losing it!

There are so many people seeking and giving weight loss advice online that a great deal of what you read is simply not true. A lot of online weight loss advice is not proven.
Here is the correct information about 3 common weight loss myths.
Calories are a measure of energy. So, two items of food with 200 calories each will provide the same amount of energy. But this does not mean both have the same impact on your weight.
Your body processes different types of food differently. Different foods can affect your metabolism, appetite and hormones in a different manner. Don't you think a grilled chicken breast will be more satisfying and healthier for your body compared to a bag of potato chips containing the same number of calories? What matters is the nutritional value of the food you eat. So, stop counting calories and watch what you are eating.
Yes, you need to be motivated to lose weight and you need the will to take steps to reach your goals. But there is more.
The human body is complex. Your weight is the result of an interplay of your genetics, hormone levels, body type, medical conditions, state of mind and so many other factors.
That said, anyone can lose weight with the right mal plans, exercise and support. At Medifast weight loss centers, experts look at all these factors to design a personalized weight loss program for you.
There is a difference between body fat and the fat in your foods. Simply consuming or avoiding fat is not the only factor that affects your weight. Both carbs and fats are essential nutrients when taken in appropriate quantities, considering your body's needs, lifestyle, exercise levels and other factors. For example, nuts are an important source of healthy fats and should be incorporate in your diet.
To know what is best for you, consult reputed weight loss experts with proven results. If you are looking for weight loss clinics or doctors in Phoenix and Gilbert, AZ, call the leading Glendale weight loss clinic, Medifast at 602-996-9669 Today! Medifast meals are clinically proven to provide safe weight loss, without sacrificing nutrition. Developed by a physician, Medifast is a brand recommended by over 20,000 doctors since 1980.
Weight loss is riddled with myths. Fad diets advise people to do crazy things, even ones with no evidence of being helpful in weight loss.
If you have been trying lose weight, here are a few strategies that have proven to be highly effective.
It is often said that drinking water can help you in losing weight, and this is true. Drinking water boosts your metabolism and helps you burn off calories. When you drink water before meals, it prevents you from overeating too.
Eating whole eggs can help you lose weight. Eggs and other sources of protein in breakfast can help you eat lesser calories during the day, thereby losing weight and body fat.
Good quality coffee is full of antioxidants. Caffeine can boost metabolism and increase fat burning. However, the trick is NOT to add a lot of sugar and other high-calorie ingredients to it.
Green tea contains small amounts of caffeine and powerful antioxidants, both of which work together to enhance fat burning.
Coconut oil contains special fats, medium chain triglycerides, which boost metabolism and reduce appetite so that you eat up lesser calories. It may be a good idea to replace your current cooking medium with coconut oil.
Added sugar is the single biggest enemy of weight loss. High sugar consumption is strongly associated with the risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Cut back on added sugars.
Refined carbs or non-whole-grain based foods, such as white bread and pasta, can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar, causing cravings, hunger and increased food intake later. Eat whole grain-based foods, along with their natural fiber.
Smaller plates help you control portion size and eat fewer calories.

You have probably heard of celebrities undergoing weight loss surgery to achieve a slim, svelte figure. It's no wonder the demand for weight loss surgeries has skyrocketed during the past few years.
However, not many people know that bariatric or weight loss surgery is not a quick fix. Here is the truth about weight loss surgery and its effectiveness.
The weight loss surgery won't necessarily make you thin!
While many patients drop a significant percent of their excess weight within a year of surgery, the weight loss levels off after that and many patients remain still overweight. Some patients even regain some of the lost weight within 3-5 years.
So, why cut your stomach in half?
Weight loss surgery carries the risk of infection and blood clots. Being obese makes complications more likely, especially if you already have signs of diabetes or heart disease. And since the surgery shortens or shrinks parts of the digestive system that are responsible for nutrient absorption, patients can develop nutritional deficiencies, such as anemia.
Having the surgery is not enough. You can't eat as much afterward, and you need to make a life-long commitment to diet and exercise to keep the weight off.
A weight loss surgery is very expensive. A typical surgery can cost anywhere between $15,000 to $25,000.
These factors prove that a weight loss surgery is not as good an idea as it seems. No weight loss short cuts are!

Do you want to lose weight? Have you been thinking about joining a weight-loss program but didn't know which one is right for you?
If yes, you are not alone. A large percentage of American adults are overweight. At the same time many weight loss programs are out there. But are they safe? And which one will work for you?
When looking at a weight loss program, it's important to go for one that will meet your present needs as well as set you up for long-term success.
Generally speaking, weight loss programs that aim for a steady weight loss of 1-2 pounds a week should be good. Beware of any crash diets and promises of losing too much, too soon!
Here are a few questions, the answers to which will help you make the right decision for your needs and preferences.
Does the weight loss clinic have certified weight loss specialists and nutritionists to help you lose weight? Do they offer support throughout and after the program?
Is the weight loss program medically safe?
Who sets the weight loss goal: you, or someone else?
Are the food choices limited? Is there a check on the nutritional value of the foods and/or meals offered?
What is the average weight loss achieved by past clients?
Are there any side effects or possible complications?
Is there a transition plan to help you keep the weight off and move to your own meals once you have achieved your weight loss goal?

Many people want to lose weight to improve their health. However, the benefits of healthy weight go way beyond health benefits. Here are the biggest benefits of losing that extra weight.
Overweight or obese people feel fatigued more often, sometimes even while doing simple tasks like climbing up the stairs. As you lose the extra pounds and your muscle tone improves, such everyday activities become much easier. You may notice that your energy levels improve.
Sleep disturbances, such as sleep apnea are common in people who are overweight or obese. Sleep apnea is a condition caused due to the excess tissue in the throat relaxing and blocking the airway. This results in a temporary stopping of breathing during sleep. This increases the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Weight loss decreases your risk of sleep apnea. If you already have sleep apnea, your symptoms may dissipate and you would sleep peacefully.
Surprising though it may sound, you find yourself automatically reaching out for healthy food when your body reaches its target weight. This helps you eat the foods that give your body the right nutrients.
Most people feel more confident in personal and professional lives when they are at a healthy weight.
The impact of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight are more far-reaching than only health. Seek a good weight loss program today and turn your life around!

How to Identify Fad Diets and Why are they a Bad Idea?
Any diet that promises quick weight loss, using an unhealthy eating pattern, is often referred to as a 'fad diet'.
Does it promise quick weight loss?
Does it lack food from all food groups?
Does it lack all nutrients required for healthy living?
Is it not clinically proven?
If the answer to one or more of these questions is 'yes', the diet is likely a fad diet.
Liquid diets ask you to consume only liquids, such as juices and broth. These diets deprive you of essential nutrients and fiber, that are important for the body's functioning. Apart from this, once you return to regular foods, the weight would come back fast.
Any diet based on only one food group is too restrictive to be healthy. This diet would be too low in calories and may make you feel fatigued throughout the day.
Such diets would only help you shed water weight. Once stopped, you would regain the lost weight and then some. Such diet may also cause digestive problems and a lack of necessary calories.
The best solution is to talk to weight loss experts at a clinically proven program, such as Medifast in phoenix and Gilbert, AZ for a customized, healthy weight loss meal plan system.
If you are looking for weight loss clinics or programs in Scottsdale and Phoenix, AZ, call Medifast at 602-996-9669 Today! Medifast is clinically proven to provide safe weight loss. Developed by a physician, it's the brand recommended by over 20,000 doctors since 1980.
With a growing body of research in the area of diet and its impact on our bodies, we are getting closer to determining what we should eat for optimal health and weight. It is now known that calories matter but the source and quality of calories are equally important in promoting weight loss. The focus should be on eating high-quality foods in appropriately sized portions.
"A calorie is NOT JUST a calorie". Instead of simply focusing on calories, think about choosing high-quality, healthy foods, and cutting out low-quality foods. This is why successful weight loss programs, such as Medifast in Phoenix, AZ, let you eat six meals a day and they are all high-quality foods. This keeps hunger satiated (so you don't reach for that packet of junk food) and your body nourished.
High-quality foods include minimally processed foods such as vegetables and fruits, whole grains and healthy sources of protein. On the contrary, lower-quality foods include processed snacks, foods high in saturated and trans fats, sugar-sweetened beverages, foods made from refined flour and refined sugar and fried foods.
Researchers at the Department of Nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health have shown that quality is extremely important in determining what we should eat to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
Yet there isn't one "perfect" diet for everyone, due to individual differences in body composition and lifestyle. When you consult weight loss specialists at Medifast weight control clinics, they would first take into account your individual differences before designing a personalized weight loss program for you.

Sugar – Avatars Hidden in Plain Sight!
Sugar – the number one ingredient that can lead to a variety of health problems. In addition, it's addictive. Sugar is also a common food additive that we all need to consume less.
Unfortunately, this sugar is not always obvious in the foods you are consuming. It is often hidden under different names and forms in different food and drinks. In fact, we even consider some of these foods as healthy.
It's important to know other sneaky names manufacturers are using for sugar. Here are some other names of sugar on food labels.
a food labeled "sugar free" or "no added sugar," does not necessarily mean that the food is low calorie or carbohydrate free. To know the exact ingredients of a packaged food, the best source is the nutrition facts panel on a food label which lists all ingredients and their quantities in detail.

One the most versatile tools to have in the home workshop is the angle grinder. Angle grinders are used to cut, grind and polish metal, as well as to cut and grind masonry. Although one does not immediately associate angle grinders with woodworking, they can also be used very effectively to sand down and shape wood.
Of course as with any popular power tool, there are a number of makes and models available on the market each with its own features and unique characteristics, often making it a challenge for the average DIY-er to choose the best angle grinder for their workshop and one that perfectly suits their needs. So here at DIY-high, we are going to examine the humble angle grinder in all of its glory, looking at the different types available and the different features that various brands and models offer, in an effort to make your angle grinder buying decision an easier process.
Angle grinders are usually referred to by the size of the cutting or grinding wheel that they accept. They come in a range of sizes to accommodate the variety of metal-working and stone-shaping jobs one finds in a typical workshop or on a job site. The most common angle grinder sizes range from 4.5 inch machines up to 9 inch behemoths, and although there are both smaller and bigger angle grinder-esque machines available, they are less commonly classed within the angle grinding category. Angle grinder sizes may be represented either in imperial or in metric units. The common sizes include:
4.5 inch angle grinders (115 mm)
5 inch angle grinders (125 mm)
4.5 inch angle grinder: The most popular angle grinder in workshops of today is the 4.5 inch machine which has the characteristics to satisfy the requirements of most DIY-ers and work professionals while not being overly expensive.
Spindle size: The commonly used angle grinders, from the 4.5 inch angle grinder up to the 9 inch angle grinder all possess the same size spindle namely, 22.2 mm in diameter or an M14 thread. This near universal spindle size makes life easier when buying cutting and grinding wheels, however, extreme care should be taken not to use wheels that are designed for one size of angle grinder in another size machine due to the different rotational speed specifications.
Mains vs battery-powered: Angle grinders also come in both mains electricity-operated as well as battery-operated formats. Although battery-operated power tools have their obvious advantages, due to the rotational speeds and power required for most jobs with angle grinders, corded mains-operated angle grinders tend to be the favoured type in the workshop, while battery-operated angle grinders are more useful for smaller less demanding cutting and grinding jobs. In this article, we are going to focus primarily on the corded variety.
As angle grinders can be used in a variety of different cutting and grinding jobs, there is naturally a wide range of different cutting and grinding wheels available each ideally suited to cutting, grinding or polishing a specific material. Discs and wheels for angle grinders are usually labelled with the material they should be used on, which includes:
Steel cutting (usually made from aluminium oxide)
Stainless steel cutting (usually labelled "INOX")
Metal grinding
Masonry cutting (usually made from silicon carbide)
Masonry grinding
Wood sanding and shaping
Disc thickness: In general, discs made for grinding and polishing will be relatively thick in order to withstand the pressures experienced on the flat surface of the disc, while cutting discs will be comparatively thinner and should never be used for grinding or polishing due to their greater fragility.
Direction of rotation: Some angle grinder wheels, particularly cutting discs, have a specific direction in which they should turn during operation, therefore they should only be installed on the angle grinder in a single orientation to ensure that they turn the correct way. These unidirectional discs will have their direction of rotation clearly marked on them, while those wheels that have no directional markings may be installed on the angle grinder either way round.
Threaded discs: Some angle grinder discs have a threaded spindle hole that allows them to be quickly installed on to an angle grinder by simply winding it on to the M14 thread that is typical of most angle grinder spindles. In such cases, using the wheel locking flange nut to secure the disc to the angle grinder is not always necessary as the disc will only wind on even more tightly as it spins in the angle grinder.
When it comes to angle grinders, safety is the number one priority above all else as this category of power tool can be more dangerous than most if used improperly or if the right safety precautions are not taken. Consequently we're going to dedicate a whole section here to looking at the safety aspects of using angle grinders.
The most important precaution to take when operating an angle grinder is to ensure that all the correct safety equipment is used to protect oneself in the event of an angle grinder wheel failure or other mishap. The following safety kit is essential and should be worn at all times whenever an angle grinder is in use:
Impact-resistant safety glasses
Dusk mask
Thick pair of gloves (preferably that extend over the wrists)
Thick clothing or overalls (ensuring all areas of exposed flesh are covered)
In general, the smaller the angle grinder, the greater the speed at which its cutting or grinding wheel will spin. As the wheels themselves usually have a maximum rated speed at which they can be spun, a cutting or grinding wheel should never be used on a smaller angle grinder than it was designed for, otherwise one risks having the disc fail and disintegrate at the higher speeds of the smaller angle grinder causing a significant safety risk to the operator. Furthermore, some types of angle grinder wheels, namely metal cutting discs, tend to get smaller as they are used, and a common misconception is to use the worn-down discs in a smaller angle grinder once they get to a size that fits the smaller machine – this should never be done since the wheel is unlikely to have been rated for the higher speeds of the smaller grinder! Maximum rotational speeds are usually indicated on the angle grinder wheels themselves and these should be strictly adhered to at all times.
All angle grinders come fitted with an adjustable wheel guard that protects the operator's hands from accidentally touching the cutting or grinding wheel when in operation. The guard is also there to help prevent debris and sparks from coming towards the operator while the angle grinder is in use, and it also acts as a barrier in the event of the angle grinder disc breaking up. Consequently, removal of the protective guard from angle grinders should rarely, if ever, be done. There are some occasions when the guard has to be removed in order to perform the task at hand, such as when grinding on a flat surface using a flat wheel, however, on these occasions the type of angle grinding wheels used are inherently at a lower risk of breakage and therefore less of a safety hazard.
A little bit of skill is required when using an angle grinder and there are a few things to remember when operating the tool:
When switching on the angle grinder, always wait for it to reach full speed before touching it to the workpiece.
Always make contact with the workpiece gently and avoid any heavy-handed actions with the angle grinder when in operation.
Keep the wheel moving back and forth over the workpiece, particularly when cutting. This ensures that heat does not build up in any one spot on the workpiece.
When metal cutting, never apply sideways pressure or attempt to change the direction of the cut, as this puts undue pressure on the cutting wheel and puts it at a greater risk of breakage.
When cutting with an angle grinder, always start from the back (ie. closest to the operator) of the workpiece and work forward. This allows the operator to easily see where the cutting line is on the workpiece during the whole cutting process.
Care should be taken when handling and storing angle grinder discs to ensure that they do not become damaged, cracked or weakened and that they don't become a safety hazard when used on the angle grinder. Handling tips include:
Never expose angle grinder wheels to water or any other solvent as the bond that holds the material of the wheel together may be adversely affected.
Never throw or drop angle grinder wheels. Any cracked or partially damaged discs should be discarded and never used.
Many angle grinder wheels have an expiry date, and should never be used beyond this date as many disc types can slowly deteriorate over time even when stored properly.
Steel & stainless steel: When cutting and grinding metal, it is important to know which type of metal you are dealing with. Most angle grinder metal-specific discs are designed for the cutting and grinding of steel or, if they are labelled with 'INOX', stainless steel.
Aluminium: Since the wheels for cutting and grinding metal are usually made from aluminium oxide, they can not be used successfully to cut and grind aluminium. Instead, to cut and grind aluminium-based materials, masonry-specific cutting and grinding discs can be used, but in such cases, care has to be taken since the dust produced will be flammable and poses an explosive risk.
Copper & magnesium alloys: Cutting and grinding of some copper alloys can be detrimental to health as they can release toxic substances during the process, while the dust produced from machining magnesium-based alloys can pose a significant fire hazard.
When cutting and grinding any metal, a lot of hot sparks are generated which represent a fire hazard. Consequently, all flammables should be removed from the area beforehand.
Always buy good quality cutting and grinding wheels as they are more likely to have been thoroughly tested and are less likely to break.
Never use an angle grinder wheel designed for cutting in a grinding job as cutting wheels are thinner and more susceptible to breakage from perpendicular forces.
Always use the broad flat surface of a grinding wheel for grinding and not its perpendicular edge.
Never use an angle grinder to cut wood or any other material for which the angle grinder blade has not been designed to work with.
So now we know the different types of angle grinder out there and the different types of jobs we can use an angle grinder for, how do we go about picking the right one for our workshop given all the different makes and models? One of the ways to make your angle grinder decision is to look at the different features and characteristics that each one offers. Below we go through each of the components that we find on today's modern angle grinders and their usefulness in the workshop.
One of the key components of angle grinders is the wheel guard which protects the user from accidentally touching the spinning wheel and from any debris ejected off the workpiece towards him. This wheel guard, which only shields part of the angle grinder wheel, has to be regularly adjusted so that it is optimally positioned as the angle grinder is operated in different orientations. Consequently, the mechanism for adjusting the wheel guard is an important feature to take into account when choosing an angle grinder. Most budget angle grinders facilitate wheel guard adjustment via a screw that needs to be loosened and tightened using a screwdriver. This can make regularly adjusting the wheel guard a tedious task. As a consequence, those that plan to use an angle grinder more intensively, should opt for an angle grinder where the wheel guard can be instead adjusted through the use of a finger latch making it a much quicker and easier process.
Another important feature of angle grinders is the side handle which should always be made use of to ensure full control of the angle grinder during use. Almost all angle grinders have the facility to attach the side handle to either side of the angle grinder in order to accommodate both left-handed and right-handed users. Some angle grinders even have the ability to attach the handle in other positions (such as to the back of the machine) which can make the angle grinder even more comfortable to work with in certain situations.
In general, angle grinders favour one of two types of handle orientation. Some brands of angle grinders, such as DeWalt angle grinders, favour a side handle that is oriented exactly perpendicular to the body of the machine, whereas other brands such as Bosch or Makita angle grinders have handles that are tilted forward at an angle greater than 90° to the body of the tool. Which is better comes down mostly to personal preference, although some more experienced angle grinder users have sometimes suggested that having a side handle at 90° is more comfortable and less obstructive specifically when using the angle grinder for cutting.
Most budget 4.5 inch angle grinders have a sliding power switch which can represent a safety hazard if the power switch is inadvertently locked in the 'on' position when the angle grinder is being plugged in. In such cases, the power tool will turn on unexpectedly presenting a significant safety risk to the operator and those around him. To counter this safety risk, some more expensive angle grinders will feature a dead man's switch that ensures that the power switch cannot physically be left in the 'on' position when there is no electrical power to the angle grinder.
Another risk arises, especially on older angle grinders, if power is suddenly lost to the machine while it is in operation. If power is then restored to the angle grinder, the tool will reactivate unexpectedly raising the safety risk to the operator. As a result of this safety hazard, more recent 4.5 inch angle grinders will have a restart protection feature, which prevents tool re-activation after a power failure without power switch cycling.
Some angle grinders have a feature known as 'soft start' which means that the angle grinder does not immediately reach full rotational speed when switched on but instead more slowly revs up to its maximum speed. This has the advantage of reducing the kickback that an operator experiences when first starting the power tool making it a little safer to use.
The body thickness or girth of the angle grinder can also be an important factor to take into consideration when purchasing the power tool, as angle grinders with a larger girth can make holding onto them more challenging particularly if the operator has smaller hands. So as a general rule, the smaller the girth of the angle grinder, the less tiring it will be for the hands. This, in turn, will allow for longer operating times, an important consideration since most angle grinder cutting and grinding tasks require significant amounts of time to complete.

The PWS 700-115 angle grinder from Bosch is a low cost 4.5 inch power tool which is designed and built for the DIY enthusiast. As one might expect from a Bosch machine, its features are well thought out and its build quality excellent.
The Bosch PWS 700–115 has a 701W motor that outputs 11,000 RPM to the spinning wheel. At 1.7 kg, it is a relatively small and lightweight machine with a relatively thin girth which makes holding the angle grinder an easy prospect even for operators of lesser forearm strength or with smaller hands. The side handle on the Bosch machine can be fitted to either side of the angle grinder body so that both right-handed and left-handed individuals can use the tool comfortably. However, it should be noted that the side handle attaches at an oblique non-perpendicular angle which some angle grinder users might find awkward to hold especially when using the angle grinder as a cutting tool.
Safety-wise, the Bosch PWS 700–115 incorporates a high level of restart protection as standard which means that the machine cannot be inadvertently turned on without power switch cycling after power has been removed. The power cord itself is a good length and is relatively thick compared to other power tool cords. But possibly the most important feature of all on this Bosch angle grinder is the ability to adjust the blade guard without the use of any tools, something that is not always found on today's crop of modern angle grinders that are available to the consumer.
Dislikes with the Bosch PWS 700–115 angle grinder include a power switch which is a bit fiddly to lock on, sometimes inconveniently requiring the use of both hands. In addition, the PWS 700–115 is not designed for anyone who plans to do a lot of intense angle grinding or cutting (e.g. construction site workers), as the electric motor tends to become hot relatively quickly with heavy use which can lead to burnt out if it is not given sufficient time to cool down. This disadvantage is particularly obvious if the Bosch PWS 700–115 is operated alongside a more professional tool that is designed to operate at a much higher level. Finally, one last niggling issue with the Bosch PWS 700–115 is not unique to the Bosch machine but typical of many 4.5 inch angle grinders, in that the spanner used to tighten the wheel is straight and flat which can sometimes make it difficult to attach and release thicker grinding or sanding wheels.
Overall, the Bosch PWS 700-115 is a good buy for the DIYer or the professional that uses it only sporadically and for short periods. It has a nice set of features and a good brand name power tool company behind it. However, anyone needing an angle grinder for more intensive work will likely be better served by going for an equivalent machine from Bosch's blue range of professional tools.
The DeWalt DWE4206K is our current favourite in the 4.5 inch angle grinder category, exhibiting a range of features as well as robustness, and all for a non-bank-breaking price. The DWE4206K angle grinder incorporates a very powerful 1010W electric motor capable of taking on almost any cutting or grinding job. It also features tool-free wheel guard adjustment using a finger latch system, and a unique DeWalt-designed dust ejection system that minimises dust and debris ingress into the body of the tool that houses the motor (see video below). The DeWalt machine's body also sports a small girth or thickness, making holding and handling the angle grinder a comfortable experience. In terms of safety, the DWE4206K has most of the essential safety features you would want in an angle grinder. These include a safety switch and restart protection to ensure that the power tool cannot be inadvertently activated even after a temporary power failure. It also incorporates the soft start feature which reduces the kickback from the power tool on startup. All in all, the DeWalt DWE4206K angle grinder is worth getting if you're planning to do a serious bit of metal or stone cutting or grinding, or you are planning to use an angle grinder on a frequent basis, as you will be thanking yourself later for that extra bit of quality in getting the job done.
The Makita GA4530R (GA4530RKD) angle grinder is one of a series of angle grinders that the Makita Corporation makes for the consumer market. It is sold in the UK from a number of retail outlets (such as Amazon) and is also marketed by Makita in other places around the world. In the UK, you can also pick up this Makita angle grinder under the model number GA4530RKD which is essentially the same angle grinder but with a plastic carry case and an extra diamond disc included as part of the package. Consequently, in this review of the GA4530R, we will sometimes refer to this Makita angle grinder as the GA4530RKD especially when talking about its carry case.
The GA4530R angle grinder has a power rating of 720W and rotates its spindle at 11,000RPM. The unit does not have the ability to vary its rotational speed but it does have a soft-start functionality which gives the angle grinder a safer start-up. As with almost all angle grinders these days, the Makita GA4530R also incorporates an anti-restart safety function which prevents the angle grinder from turning on unexpectedly if the power switch happens to be set to the on-position when electrical power is applied.
Design-wise, like the majority of angle grinders available today, the GA4530R angle grinder comes with a side handle that is angled 110° relative to the body of the power tool. It also has a lock-on switch so that the power switch does not have to be continually depressed for the power tool to run making it more comfortable to use for long periods. For robustness, the GA4530R has been designed to a high standard which is something that is not uncommon for power tools from Makita – a Japanese company that prides itself on precision engineering and tools that last. For example, the seals that protect the motor and bearings from dust and debris have a labyrinth design to prevent particulate ingress. Another feature of the angle grinder emphasising quality is the precision-machined bevel gears that impart upon the Makita GA4530R a service lifespan that is touted to be twice as long as more generically-manufactured angle grinders of less reputable brands.
On the more negative side, the GA4530R angle grinder does come with a couple of features that are lacking, which make it less convenient to use than even some cheaper generic-type angle grinders. The foremost inconvenience is the need to use a screwdriver in order to adjust and secure the blade guard. This can make ensuring the blade guard is in the proper position to protect the operator's hands a tedious process especially when the cutting or grinding angle of the angle grinder needs to be changed frequently. This also makes the Makita angle grinder slightly less safe to use if the operator is not religious in his or her handling of the tool.
Another minor dislike with the Makita GA4530R when it comes as the model number GA4530RKD is with its carry case. Unfortunately, here Makita has skimped a bit on design with the carry case not fully in keeping with what one usually gets from the Japanese company. Although the case is made from robust plastic, the internal design of it makes it more difficult than necessary to fit the Makita angle grinder and its electrical cable inside. In addition, the design of the clasps that keep the case closed are not particularly awe-inspiring with better locking mechanisms observed on power tool cases from other brands and even from Makita itself.
In summary then, as with most Makita tools, the GA4530R angle grinder is a high precision, high-quality tool that is generally more costly than other angle grinders on the market. However, the higher cost is likely justified by the better performance and the longer life that one will likely see from the GA4530R and which is typical of power tools from Makita. The GA4530R does lack a feature or two that are now commonly seen on angle grinders from other brands but they are not absolutely essential and one can usually do without them especially if the angle grinder is only being used for sporadic DIY jobs.

Malcom X & Martin Luther king Jr Compare & Contrast
Category: Civil Rights Contrast Martin Luther King
Malcolm X and Martin Luther king Jr are arguably the most well-known and first to be said or thought about African American individuals throughout history. They fought for what they stood for and both men did it in many different ways. As we all know in history there are no two great men that are alike. Their many beliefs may have blossomed from the households they came from and how they grew up. Many people have compared these two African-American activists as well as saw what they had in common.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia. King grew up in a middle class family and was well educated. Martin Luther King Jr. was always against violence, throughout his entire ministry. He always stood his ground, and he stood out because even though he may have been physically attacked, he never reacted with violence. Martin Luther King Jr. followed the Christian faith. One of the many accomplishments by Martin Luther King jr. was the civil rights acts was the March on Washington, this portrayed the different perspectives, methods and ways Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X handled things. The March on Washington took place on August 28, 1963. More than 20,000 people came to march from Washington to the Lincoln memorial in Washington D.C. This march happened to be one of Martin Luther King Jr.'s greatest accomplishments throughout his life. This event is where he took the face of the civil rights movement. Even in a time of violence, King would never act out.
King wanted all the races to come together for the hatred and violence to be put to a complete stop. MLK's approach to civil rights and equality was non-violent protesting, speaking out for non-violence, passive resistance. Martin Luther King called these act's weapons of love. King based a lot of his methods and strategies on how he approached things from Gandhi. Gandhi used these methods years earlier in his protests against British control in India. Martin Luther King goal when using nonviolence was not to defeat or humiliate the opponent but rather to win him or her over to understanding new ways to create cooperation and community. He thought that Non-violent resistance is not for cowards. It is not a quiet, passive acceptance of evil.
One is passive and non-violent physically, but very active spiritually, always seeking ways to persuade the opponent of advantages to the way of love, cooperation, and peace. He also believed that using nonviolent resistance, one learns to avoid physical violence toward others and also learns to love the opponents with agape or unconditional love. This is love given not for what one will receive in return, but for the sake of love alone. It is God flowing through the human heart. Agape is ahimsa. He stated that "Non-violent resistance is based on the belief that the universe is just. There is God or a creative force that is moving us toward universal love and wholeness continually. Therefore, all our work for justice will bear fruit – the fruit of love, peace, and justice for all beings everywhere."
Malcolm X grew up in an underprivileged environment that was very hostile with barely any schooling. Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. Malcolm X was a Muslim, and believed in Muslim principles. His most famous line was "By any Means Necessary". He believed in fighting back physically. Whatever had to be done to get freedom he was all for it whether it be violence or nonviolence. Although later in life he visited Jerusalem, and met other Muslims. He changed his views, and became nonviolent. Malcolm X had a different perspective regarding the march. He felt that integration would destroy the black and the white man. He felt that American blacks should be more concerned with helping each other. He also felt blacks should start by giving the same race self-respect first. He did not agree with what King had to say, he felt that kings dream was not a dream but a nightmare. Malcolm X's approach to civil rights/equality was extremely different. He was suspicious of whites, willing to use "by any means necessary" to achieve equality.
He was a segregationist until he went to Mecca. The commonality that they both share is that they both wanted equal rights for African Americans they just went down different paths to receive those rights. Malcolm also had achievements he achieved as well. Malcolm X was a great man who fought for what he believed in. Most people thought that he was a horrible person but he was just trying to get his point across even though sometimes his words were harsh, like his famous quote, "By any means necessary". One of the objectives of the Civil Rights Movement was to shed light on and address unfair discriminatory practices. Malcolm X shed light on many deplorable conditions faced by people of African descent. When Malcolm X was featured in a week-long television special with Mike Wallace in 1959 he most certainly shed light on unfair discriminatory practices. While it is not possible to accurately measure his impact, it is fair to say that he impacted the Civil Rights movement by helping to expose discriminatory practices which ultimately led to significant changes in what the legal system declared unlawful.
For example, a number of laws were put into place that had a significant impact on the lives and civil rights of Black people. For instance, from 1959-1965, sixteen states passed fair housing laws that prohibited racial, religious, and national origin discrimination in various sectors of the private housing market. In 1954 the US Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of education declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional, nullifying the earlier judicial doctrine of "separate but equal." In 1965President Johnson signed the US Voting Rights Act of 1965. This act prohibited literacy tests and poll taxes which had been used to prevent blacks from voting. On June 29, 1963 Malcolm lead one of the nation's largest civil rights events known as the Unity Rally in Harlem.
Malcolm worked on his autobiography for two years with writer Alex Haley, which was published in November 1965. Malcolm X also went to a far extent Offer Solutions to Racial Problems That Were Not Addressed by the SCLC. The SCLC stood for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Malcolm X had notably different opinions and perspectives to the SCLC when it came down to solving issues relating to racial problems within the United States. Malcolm X and the SCLC would have arguably thought about the main racial problems affecting African Americans in the 1950s and also the 1960s. The lack of civil rights, officials not noticing discrimination, especially in the Southern states, would racially motivated violence and even murders. Malcolm X had different perspectives with regard to racial problems than the SCLC and its most prominent member Martin Luther King, which can explain differences in their offering of solutions to such problems.
Malcolm X did offer different solutions to racial problems that were not addressed by the SCLC and Martin Luther King. Indeed Martin Luther King formed the SCLC before Malcolm X became widely known throughout the United States due to his efforts in solving racial problems that would improve the quality of life for all African Americans. The main focus for Martin Luther King and the SCLC was upon dealing with racial problems in the Southern states, where African Americans faced the greatest amount of legal blocks to achieving meaningful exercising their civil rights. The SCLC under the leadership of Martin Luther King concentrated the vast majority of its campaigning efforts to the removal of legally enforced segregation in the Southern states. The SCLC campaigned nationally to force the federal government into enforcing civil rights. It had officially been granted as a result of the American Civil War. The Southern focus of the SCLC was understandable, yet Malcolm X thought it was the wrong way of solving racial problems across the whole of the United States.
Malcolm X regarded the racial problems experienced by African Americans, as not been solvable by formally gaining legally protected civil rights across the whole country alone. Malcolm X believed that the objectives, as well as the strategies of the SCLC did not completely address the racial problems encountered by African Americans living the United States. Malcolm X argued that the SCLC and Martin Luther King were unfortunately mistaken if they believed that the gaining of legal civil rights in the Southern states would magically make life free of racial problems for African Americans. After all in the Northern states, nobody had passed legislation equivalent to the Jim Crow laws enacted in the Southern states, yet African Americans in the North did not gain any better treatment from white Americans than their Southern counterparts.
In the Northern states the constitutional amendments granting civil rights to African Americans had been enforced by the federal government, but racial discrimination was just as rife as in the Southern states. Informal discrimination in the Northern states was bad as the Jim Crow laws employed to deny civil rights to African Americans in the Southern states. Instead of concentrating solely upon removing the Jim Crow laws in the Southern states, Malcolm X recommended that all African Americans had to protest against the widespread racial discrimination directed towards them. The differing emphasis about how to tackle racial problems had a geographical effect. Malcolm X lived in the Northern states, whilst the SCLC and Martin Luther King were based in the Southern states. Malcolm X from his own experiences was aware that legally enshrined civil rights were not enough to solve racial problems.
As you can see, these are comparisons and differences between Malcolm X and Martin Luther king Jr. Also you can see, why they are arguably the most well-known and first to be said or thought about African American individuals throughout history. Why they fought for what they stood for and both men did it in many different ways. As we all know in history there are no two great men that are alike. Their many beliefs may have blossomed from the households they came from and how they grew up. Many people have compared these two African-American activists as well as saw what they had in common.

Q: Kubernetes keeping old replicasets with running pods after deployments Not sure why this is happening but we're seeing old replicasets with active pods running in our Kubernetes cluster despite the fact the deployments they are attached to have been long deleted (up to 82 days old). Our deployments have spec.replicas set to a max of 2, however we're seeing up to 6/8 active pods in these deployments.
We are currently running k8s version 1.14.6. Also below is a sample deployment

      }
    },
    "template": {
      "spec": {
        "containers": [
          {
            "name": "xxxxxxxx",
            "image": "xxxxxxxx",
            "ports": [

            ],

        "reason": "MinimumReplicasAvailable",
        "message": "Deployment has minimum availability."
      }
    ]
  }
}

A: Changes to label selectors make existing pods fall out of ReplicaSet's scope, so if you change labels and label selector the pods are no longer "controlled" by ReplicaSet.
If you run kubectl get pods <pod_name> -o yaml where <pod_name> is a pod created by ReplicaSet, you will see owner reference.
However if you change labels and run the same command, owner reference is no longer visible because it fell out of ReplicaSet scope.
Also if you create bare pods and they happen to have the same labels as ReplicaSet, they will be acquired by ReplicaSet. It happens because RS is not limited to pods created by its template- it can acquire pods matching its selectors and terminate them as desired number specified in RS manifest will be exceeded.
If a bare pod is created before RS with the same labels, RS will count this pod and deploy only required number of pods to achieve desired number of replicas.
You can also remove ReplicaSet without affecting any of its Pods by using kubectl delete with --cascade=false option.

A: It may be an issue with Labels. There are no labels defined in your pod spec..

A: A way to solve this is to set the "revisionHistoryLimit" to the maximum number of old replicasets that we want to keep. They are needed in case of rollback of a previous version, however usually this is not needed.
For instance we can set it to just 1 (or even 0), as per the .yaml configuration file below:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
# ...
spec:
  # ...
  revisionHistoryLimit: 1 # Default to 10 if not specified
  # ...

To manually remove already present old replicasets, it is possible to use this command:
kubectl delete replicaset $(kubectl get replicaset -o jsonpath='{ .items[?(@.spec.replicas==0)].metadata.name }')

These answers are taken from this related StackOverflow thread: Clean up "Replica Sets" when updating deployments? .

Angels designate Matt Harvey for assignment
The veteran right-hander went 3-5 with a 7.09 ERA in 12 starts

By J.P. Hoornstra | jhoornstra@scng.com | Daily News
PUBLISHED: July 19, 2019 at 4:44 pm | UPDATED: July 19, 2019 at 7:57 pm
SEATTLE — The Angels ended the Matt Harvey experiment on Friday, designating the veteran pitcher for assignment seven months and a day after they signed him to a one-year contract.
Harvey, an All-Star early in his career with the New York Mets, never provided the value the Angels hoped for when they gave him an $11 million deal in free agency. The 30-year-old right-hander went 3-5 with a 7.09 earned-run average. He allowed six runs Thursday in his latest start, a 6-2 loss to the Houston Astros, and the Angels made the decision to sever ties after the game.
"It was a very hard decision, mostly because of the guy," Manager Brad Ausmus said. "We like the guy so much."
Harvey made just 12 starts for the Angels. He missed more than six weeks with a muscular injury in his upper back, and he would have been owed another $250,000 if he had reached 15 starts.
A blazing fastballer in his prime, Harvey entered this season 41-44 with a 3.80 ERA in his career with the Mets and Reds. His fastball averaged 97 mph in 2013, when he finished fourth in National League Cy Young Award voting. This season, Harvey's fastball topped out at 95 mph in March. It sank to 93 on Thursday.
During his time on the injured list, Harvey attempted to recapture some of the velocity he lost over the course of the season. He failed, however, and could not successfully adjust his pitch mix to adapt to the decline.
"I've said this before, pitchers who pitch in the major leagues for a long time – and I'm talking about starters – they generally don't throw 95 for 25 years," Ausmus said. "At some point in their career, they develop a new pitch or a new style of pitching because the velocity generally does come down. The successful pitchers do that."
The Angels recalled pitcher Jaime Barría prior to Friday's game against the Mariners. Opener Taylor Cole is expected to throw two innings before Barría takes over. Barría will get the first chance to fill Harvey's spot in the rotation, Ausmus said. The 23-year-old right-hander is 3-2 with a 5.22 ERA in seven games (three starts).
Barría would join a rotation that includes just three other regulars: Andrew Heaney, Griffin Canning and Felix Peña. The Angels can't recall left-hander Jose Suarez from the minor leagues before next Thursday unless another player is injured.
Because they have an off-day Monday, the Angels won't need a fifth starter until July 28.
Harvey was immediately removed from the Angels' 40-man roster. Once a player is designated for assignment, he can be placed on waivers, traded or released within seven days. Since he has more than five years of MLB service time, Harvey has the right to reject assignment to the minor leagues.
This time, Harvey will not command the same contract he received in December. The Angels are still responsible for his base salary, but not his performance bonuses.
Harvey is the second free agent acquisition the Angels have cut in as many months. Cody Allen, signed to an $8.5 million contract in January, posted a 6.26 ERA in 23 appearances out of the Angels' bullpen. He eventually landed a minor-league contract with the Twins.
After losing his closer's job, Allen was given a second chance as a middle reliever before he was DFA'd. The Angels discussed moving Harvey to the bullpen, Ausmus said, "but I don't think he would like being in the bullpen."
"I'm pulling for him to do well," Ausmus said of Harvey. "It didn't happen here, but that doesn't mean I don't pull for the guy."
Pitcher Keynan Middleton paused his minor league rehabilitation assignment because of mild ulnar neuritis in his right elbow. Ausmus said Middleton reported "tingling" and "numbness," but an MRI revealed no damage to his surgically repaired ulnar collateral ligament. His recovery time is expected to be short.
Middleton is rehabbing from Tommy John surgery performed in May 2019. In four minor league appearances this month, Middleton allowed three hits and one run across 3⅔ innings.
Pitcher JC Ramirez, also on the Tommy John rehab trail, is scheduled pitch for Class-A Inland Empire on Sunday.
First baseman/designated hitter Albert Pujols (left hamstring tightness) was given a day off on Friday. Pending medical approval, Pujols could return to the Angels' lineup Saturday, Ausmus said.
Fox Sports West will air the private memorial service for Tyler Skaggs on Monday at 11 a.m. A re-broadcast of the July 12 combined no-hitter against the Mariners – a game in which every player wore Skaggs' number 45 jersey – will follow. … Further details on the memorial service are pending. … The Angels optioned pitcher Jake Jewell to Triple-A Salt Lake and recalled pitcher/first baseman/outfielder Jared Walsh.

The Australian cultural landscape is less vibrant without the amazing Richard Gill, whose great loss the arts and broader community are grieving. I was lucky enough to have been taught music by a young Richard at Camperdown Primary School, and to work with him later in life on many, many occasions. It was always such a life-affirming and potent experience to be in a room with him, to watch him inspire people of all ages and backgrounds from raw beginners to the greatest artists, individually and en masse, to fall about laughing with him, to make wonderful opera with him. His exuberance and profound passion for music are unforgettable, and the flame he lit for so many people burns bright.
Like many others this week, my vivid and joyful personal memories of Richard are both comforting and compound a sense of his absence. On behalf of Ten Days on the Island, I express my gratitude for Richard Gill's genius and honour his extraordinary life.
