The assessment of global sagittal alignment and the compensatory mechanisms which are implicated in the spine and the spinopelvic jucture are of paramount importance for spine and joint replacement surgeon. The dynamic interplay between flexibility and balance around the axis of gravity determine the type and the amount of influence in spine and hips. Radiographic parameters to evaluate objectively the sagittal balance are Pelvic incidence (PI), Sacral slope (SS), Pelvic Tilt (PT), Lumbar lordosis (LL),Thoracic Kyphosis, C7 plumb line (C7PL) and its ratio. Drawings in patients X-rays and precise measurements are important in order to quantify the magnitude of spinal deformities, to monitor the success or failure of treatment and thus optimise the management of patients according to the severity of the imbalance.
-Securely import medical images directly from the camera or stored photos.
-By marking several points at the image of X-ray, the App calculates and offers a very convenient way to determine the most accurate possibly way at once, Pelvic incidence (PI), Sacral slope (SS), Pelvic Tilt (PT), Lumbar lordosis (LL), thoracic kyphosis, C7 plumb line (C7PL), C7PLD/sfd ratio, PI–LL, theoretical normal pelvic tilt (tPT),theoretical normal L1-S1 lumbar lordosis (tL1S1), Spino-sacral angle (SSA) According to measured parameters the app categorizes the severity of the imbalance of spine, in three different stages: optimal balanced, balanced with compensatory mechanisms and imbalanced.
-Save the planned images, for later review or consultation.The measured values are compared by normal reference databases and also data are exported as txt file, ready to print or to input as cells to excel for research.
-The app also allows the calculations of centroids after choosing points in vertebra body in independent manner from order.
All information received from the software output must be clinically reviewed regarding its plausibility before patient treatment! Sagittal Balance App indicated for assisting healthcare professionals. Clinical judgment and experience are required to properly use the software. The software is not for primary image interpretation. In a busy everyday practice, the examiner have to draw lines in X-rays or in clinical settings, this it is time consuming and cumbersome. Accessory instruments like protractors, hinged goniometers, well sharped pencils, rulers or even transparent papers must be available. The app offers a very convenient and accurate way to perform most common radiographic measurements for spine, and spinopelvic juncture in a blink of an eye in front of your screen. The build in feature of the app, allows results to be categorized may help decide what could be considered normal or pathologic.

(b) Definitions. As used in this subsection:
(1) "Business combination" means a transaction whereby assets or operations of two or more companies not previously under common ownership or control are combined, whether by merger, acquisition, or sale/purchase of assets.
(2) "External restructuring activities" means restructuring activities occurring after a business combination that affect the operations of companies not previously under common ownership or control. They do not include restructuring activities occurring after a business combination that affect the operations of only one of the companies not previously under common ownership or control, or, when there has been no business combination, restructuring activities undertaken within one company. External restructuring activities are a direct outgrowth of a business combination. They normally will be initiated within 3 years of the business combination.

Restructuring costs that may be allowed include, but are not limited to, severance pay for employees, early retirement incentive payments for employees, employee retraining costs, relocation expense for retained employees, and relocation and rearrangement of plant and equipment. For purposes of this definition, if restructuring costs associated with external restructuring activities allocated to DoD contracts are less than $2.5 million, the costs shall not be subject to the audit, review, and determination requirements of paragraph (c)(4) of this subsection; instead, the normal rules for determining cost allowability in accordance with FAR Part 31 shall apply.
(5) "Restructuring savings" means cost reductions, including both direct and indirect cost reductions, that result from restructuring activities. Reassignments of cost to future periods are not restructuring savings.
(c) Limitations on cost allowability. Restructuring costs associated with external restructuring activities shall not be allowed unless—
(1) Such costs are allowable in accordance with FAR Part 31 and DFARS Part 231;
(2) An audit of projected restructuring costs and restructuring savings is performed;
(3) The cognizant administrative contracting officer (ACO) reviews the audit report and the projected costs and projected savings, and negotiates an advance agreement in accordance with paragraph (d) of this subsection; and
(4)(i) The official designated in paragraph (c)(4)(ii) of this subsection determines in writing that the audited projected savings, on a present value basis, for DoD resulting from the restructuring will exceed either¾
(A) The costs allowed by a factor of at least two to one; or
(B) The costs allowed, and the business combination will result in the preservation of a critical capability that might otherwise be lost to DoD.
(ii)(A) If the amount of restructuring costs is expected to exceed $25 million over a 5-year period, the designated official is the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) or the Principal Deputy. This authority may not be delegated below the level of an Assistant Secretary of Defense.
(B) For all other cases, the designated official is the Director of the Defense Contract Management Agency. The Director may not delegate this authority.

(i) The audited projected savings for DoD will exceed the costs allowed by a factor of at least two to one on a present value basis.
(ii) The business combination will result in the preservation of a critical capability that might otherwise be lost to DoD, and the audited projected savings for DoD will exceed the costs allowed on a present value basis.
(f) Contracting officer responsibilities.
(1) The contracting officer, in consultation with the cognizant ACO, should consider including a repricing clause in noncompetitive fixed-price contracts that are negotiated during the period between¾
(i) The time a business combination is announced; and
(ii) The time the contractor's forward pricing rates are adjusted to reflect the impact of restructuring.
(2) The decision to use a repricing clause will depend upon the particular circumstances involved, including¾
(i) When the restructuring will take place;
(ii) When restructuring savings will begin to be realized;
(iii) The contract performance period;
(iv) Whether the contracting parties are able to make a reasonable estimate of the impact of restructuring on the contract; and
(v) The size of the potential dollar impact of restructuring on the contract.
(3) If the contracting officer decides to use a repricing clause, the clause must provide for a downward-only price adjustment to ensure that DoD receives its appropriate share of restructuring net savings.
(a) Scope. This section implements the requirements of section 818(c)(2), National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Pub.

SUBPART 231.3--CONTRACTS WITH EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
(1) Pursuant to section 841 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Pub. L. 103-160), no limitation may be placed on the reimbursement of otherwise allowable indirect costs incurred by an institution of higher education under a DoD contract awarded on or after November 30, 1993, unless that same limitation is applied uniformly to all other organizations performing similar work under DoD contracts. The 26 percent limitation imposed on administrative indirect costs by OMB Circular No. A-21 shall not be applied to DoD contracts awarded on or after November 30, 1993, to institutions of higher education because the same limitation is not applied to other organizations performing similar work.
(2) The cognizant administrative contracting officer may waive the prohibition in 231.303(1) if the governing body of the institution of higher education requests the waiver to simplify the institution's overall management of DoD cost reimbursements under DoD contracts.

UPDATE: Rare Ohio measles outbreak doubles, sends unvaccinated kids to hospital
By Samantha Wildow, Staff Writer
Disease was eliminated from U.S. years ago, but vaccination rates have slipped; 128,000 died from it worldwide in 2021
DEC. 8 UPDATE: Measles cases double
The number of measles cases in a Columbus-area outbreak has nearly doubled, from 32 in late November to 63 as of Thursday morning, according to the city of Columbus Public Health Department.
Sixty of the 63 cases, or 95%, have been in unvaccinated people, according to the health department, while three have been in people who had partial vaccination, but not both doses.
More than 90% of the cases are in children under the age of 6, and 25 of those children were hospitalized. There have been no deaths reported as of Thursday morning, according to health officials.
ORIGINAL REPORT, Nov. 28:
An ongoing measles outbreak in the Columbus area has public health officials locally reminding parents to get their children vaccinated against measles.
"Immunization is the most important way to keep people safe from vaccine-preventable diseases like measles," said Dr. Becky Thomas, medical director of Public Health - Dayton and Montgomery County. "But unfortunately, the rates of routine childhood vaccinations have been declining in the United States."
Unvaccinated individuals are at risk of infection and severe disease often requiring hospitalization, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Measles is an infectious viral disease that causes a high fever and red, blotchy rash and is accompanied by cough, runny nose, inflamed eyes, sore throat, and loss of appetite.
ExploreOhio among the easiest states to get vaccination exemptions for children
The current measles outbreak in Franklin County has had 32 cases, with 31 of those cases in unvaccinated children and one with an unknown vaccination status. Of those children, 13 were hospitalized, according to Franklin County Public Health.
There were also 12 daycare and school locations impacted by this outbreak. The first case of the measles in Ohio since 2019 was first reported in June. This is the first measles outbreak in Ohio since 2014, which had 382 confirmed measles cases.
There are no reported measles cases in the Dayton region, but Public Health - Dayton and Montgomery County is reminding parents to stay up-to-date with their children's immunization schedules.
A recent Dayton Daily News investigation found there is a growing moral opposition to vaccinations required for school with experts attributing anti-vaccine sentiments to misinformation.
The newspaper found parents are increasingly choosing to opt their children out of getting immunized against vaccine-preventable diseases like diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, and chickenpox. The percentage of children entering kindergarten with moral exemptions from getting such vaccines increased statewide last year and was over 10% at 14 area schools. There were only five schools over that threshold the year before.
Statewide, the percentage of kindergarteners unvaccinated for moral or religious reasons climbed from 2.4% to 3.2%. The percentage of kindergarteners statewide with all required vaccines last year increased to 88.2%. The Dayton Daily News reported earlier this year that vaccination rates dropped in the 2020-2021 school year, largely because of access issues and school staffing shortages during the height of the pandemic.
In 2021, a record high of nearly 40 million children worldwide missed a measles vaccine dose, the CDC and World Health Organization said. There were 25 million children who missed their first dose and an additional 14.7 million children who missed their second dose.
"We want to remind people and reiterate the importance of those vaccinations they can get," said Dan Suffoletto, public information manager at Public Health. "(During COVID), there was a lot of disruption in routine medical care and procedures."
There is no treatment for the measles virus, which is potentially deadly, but a vaccine has been available since 1963. Measles was declared eliminated from the U.S. in 2000, but anti-vaccination sentiment has allowed the virus to reemerge in recent years, the CDC said.
The COVID-19 pandemic also caused additional disruptions to vaccination schedules. Providers started seeing more patients by telehealth and reducing in-person visits when not necessary, which led to a drop in immunization levels.
"The record number of children under-immunized and susceptible to measles shows the profound damage immunization systems have sustained during the COVID-19 pandemic," said CDC Director Dr. Rochelle P. Walensky. "Measles outbreaks illustrate weaknesses in immunization programs, but public health officials can use outbreak response to identify communities at risk, understand causes of under-vaccination, and help deliver locally tailored solutions to ensure vaccinations are available to all."
ExploreSearchable database: What is the vaccination rate at your kid's elementary school?
Across the globe, there were an estimated 9 million cases and 128,000 deaths from measles in 2021. Twenty-two countries experienced large and disruptive outbreaks. Also in 2021, nearly 61 million measles vaccine doses were postponed or missed due to COVID-19-related delays in immunization campaigns in 18 countries.
Measles is very contagious and spreads to about nine out of 10 unvaccinated children who are exposed, even before children have symptoms, according to the CDC. Measles virus can live for up to two hours in an airspace after an infected person leaves an area. Traditionally, about 20% of children with measles will need to be hospitalized, but the Columbus outbreak has seen 40% hospitalized.
Health officials say 95% or more of the population needs to have had two doses of the measles vaccine to create herd immunity in order to protect communities and maintain large-scale measles elimination. The world is well under that, the CDC said, with only 81% of children receiving their first measles-containing vaccine dose, and only 71% of children receiving their second measles-containing vaccine dose. These are the lowest global coverage rates of the first dose of measles vaccination since 2008, although coverage varies by country.
"The paradox of the pandemic is that while vaccines against COVID-19 were developed in record time and deployed in the largest vaccination campaign in history, routine immunization programs were badly disrupted, and millions of kids missed out on life-saving vaccinations against deadly diseases like measles," said WHO director-general Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. "Getting immunization programs back on track is absolutely critical. Behind every statistic in this report is a child at risk of a preventable disease."
If people do not get recommended vaccinations, Public Health said diseases like measles, polio, and whooping cough will become more common, putting children at risk of serious complications from diseases that can be prevented by available vaccines.
The CDC recommends all children get two doses of MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine, starting with the first dose at 12 through 15 months of age, and the second dose at four through six years of age.
The measles vaccine is safe and effective with hundreds of millions of doses given safely over the last 50 years, Public Health said. Contact your local pharmacy or healthcare provider.
In addition, Public Health is providing measles vaccinations at its clinic at located in the Reibold Building, 117 South Main St. in downtown Dayton. To schedule an appointment, call 937-225-4550.

L'allentiac és una llengua extinta de la família huarpe que es parlava en el sud-oest de l'actual Argentina, en el que es coneix com a Regió del Nuevo Cuyo (actuals províncies de Mendoza, San Juan, gran part del nord de San Luis i nord de Neuquén). Era parlada per part dels huarpes i va ser documentada per Luis de Valdivia durant el segle XVII.

Història

Es coneix poc sobre la història de la llengua huarpe abans de l'arribada dels europees a la regió de Que el seu en el segle XVII. Sota el govern colonial els huarpes van ser deportats com a mà d'obra forçada a Santiago de Xile on van arribar a formar una fracció important de la població d'aquesta ciutat. El fet que en aquesta ciutat l'espanyol fos la llengua vehicular va fer que la població deportada abandonés l'ús de la llengua. A la seva regió d'origen, el despoblament de la regió juntament amb el fet que part de la població va fugir a zones més inaccessibles van fragmentar la llengua i van delmar als seus parlants, per la qual cosa els seus últims parlants van ser víctimes de l'assimilació lingüística completa en la qual a més de, òbviament, espanyolismes, es van afegir (per ser durant la conquesta espanyola llengües vehiculars el quítxua i el mapudungun, quitxuïsmes i maputxismes).

Descripció lingüística

Fonologia
L'allentiac sembla haver tingut un sistema d'almenys cinc vocals denotades per Valdivia com <a, i, i, o, ù>. El grafema <ù> o <ú> probablement correspon a la vocal central tancada //.

Morfosintaxis
Les dades de Valdivia suggereixen que l'allentiac era una llengua aglutinant, amb sufixació dominant. Les principals diferències amb llengües parlades a la regió com el mapudungun és que el allentiac té un sistema ampli de casos i postposicions (-ta locatiu, -tati causatiu, -tayag beneficiari, -ye datiu, -ien instrumental i -ymen comitatiu).

Estava relacionada estretament amb el millcayac de l'actual província de Mendoza i a vegades ambdues són considerades els dos dialectes de l'idioma huarpe.

The three most important factors that need to be known.
1. How much weight will be lifted?
2. How far out from the center of rotation is the load?
3. How often will the lift be made?
Moment rating is a mathematical equation determined by the WEIGHT times the LOAD RADIUS.
This is a measurement from the center of the crane's rotation axis to the center of the load on a horizontal plane.
The amount of weight to be lifted, includes all rigging used, including the travel block any chains or slings and the hook.
72,000 ft.- lbs. divided by 10,000 lbs. equals 7.2 ft. this is the maximum load radius with this load.
At a 12 ft. radius the maximum load is 72,000 divided by 12 ft. equals 6,000 lbs.
At a 20 ft. radius the maximum load is 72,000 divided by 20 ft. equals 3,600 lbs.
Note: The rapid decline in capacity as the radius increases.
Always consider the size of the object and that the crane is mounted on a truck. The distance to the edge of the truck must be included in the load radius.
The above holds true no matter the Manufacturer.
A cranes lifting capacity is based on it's moment rating.
Many crane manufacturers claim to have 360 degree rotation, however, the rotation may be limited at 375 or 400 degrees at which point the rotation will stop and must be reversed. This limitation must be considered when positioning the truck to perform the work at hand. Liftmoore cranes typically have unlimited rotation. There is either an electric or electric/hydraulic swivel that allows this important feature. As a result there is no limitation by mechanical or electrical stop on the crane's rotation.
12V DC powered electric cranes have a limited duty cycle as per S.A.E. J706 (section 6.2). These limitations are incurred because of heat build up in the motors and the declining charge of the batteries. Exceeding the duty cycle constraints and over heating the motor is the #1 cause of DC Motor failure. For longer duty cycles a hydraulic powered crane is required. To learn more about the differences between DC powered and Hydraulic, click here.
All 12V DC powered cranes will benefit by having a battery as large as possible near the crane. Motor and Solenoid life will be extended if an additional battery is mounted near the crane. The two batteries under the hood of a diesel engine truck are NOT adequate to power an electric crane. The DC voltage line loss increases dramatically as the length of wire is increased and the voltage at the crane can only be maintained with an additional battery near the crane. An auxiliary battery is required for cranes 3200 lbs and larger.
Turing off power to the crane will increase the life of it's electrical components. Electrolysis causes corrosion which will reduce component life and can cause intermittent electrical problems. All Liftmoore cranes are supplied with a master disconnect switch or a Mecon quick disconnect for disconnecting the crane from its electrical power source. A toggle switch is provided to turn off the power on hydraulic cranes.

It seems [the National Directorate on Employment (NDE) is finally awake](http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/227846-nigerian-govt-commence-registration-o%E2%80%8Ef-unemployed-citizens.html).
Hear this:

<blockquote>
    "A statement released, Monday, by the Deputy Director, Information and Public Relations of the National Directorate of Employment, NDE, Edmund Onwuliri, said the registration was aimed at collecting up-to-date data of unemployed Nigerians.
Mr. Onwuliri said the registration was in compliance with NDE's mandate to obtain and maintain a data bank on unemployment and vacancies in the country.
The deputy director, according to the statement, said the exercise would enable the directorate to serve as a clearing house linking job seekers with existing vacancies in government agencies and the private sector."
  </blockquote>

Why would they be doing this when it seems their primary responsibility has already been taken over by the Office of the Vice-President through its various social intervention programmes?

We need to think twice about whether we actually need this agency.


Alaska black bears are very prolific with a high population density in many parts of the state. Several of the game management units that we hunt offer very good black bear numbers and black bear hunting opportunities.
Because of the diversity of territory these bears live in and the various options we have to hunt them, we can offer several different black bear hunting packages to our hunters.
First we divide the seasons generally into spring and fall. From there we offer both guided and outfitted hunts. Next, we can do fly in spot and stalk hunts, float hunts and bait station hunts.
We also work with the Wounded Warrior and Healing Hearts programs to offer hunts to our nations wounded veterans.
Black bear hunting can be done by spot and stalk, float hunts, or bait stations. We typically see lots of bears and the success rate is very high.
We offer many different black bear hunting options so if you have a specific type of hunt you want to plan ask us and we can customize something for your hunting party.
Our spring black bear hunts begin May 1st and run through the end of June. Our hunting methods vary depending on the preference of the individual hunter.
Hunts can range from looking for bears as they come out of the dens to spot and stalk to floating rivers. Spring hunts often happen before leaves and vegetation grows out which means we typically see lots of black bears while glassing.
These hunts can also happen in several different geographic areas. In some of our hunting areas the limit on black bears is 3 bears per person.
This gives our clients a very rare opportunity to take 3 bears on 1 hunt.
We position hunters in good bear areas and hunters hike out from spike camps glassing hillsides and valleys.
It is true spot and stalk hunting. Hunters should be in good physical condition and be able to walk several miles a day and do some moderate uphill hiking.
These hunts are done primarilly from our custom built jet powered riverboats. We hunt several different river systems that are host to large populations of bears.
We will spend several hours each day turning the motor off and floating the rivers watching for bears foraging along the banks. Afternoons are spent resting or fishing for trophy Rainbow Trout and Dolly Varden.
These hunts are great for the person that wants a chance to look over and examine bears before making that critical choice. Hunting over baits affords the hunter the ability to sit in tree stands and observe bear behavior. Usually this gives our clients a great chance to get photos or video of bears in a somewhat controlled environment.
For this hunt we transport hunters by boat to the bait station locations. From there it is a short walk to the stand where the hunt begins. These hunts are perfect for bowhunters, for those who may not want to hike or climb long distances, and for kids who want to get that first bear.
We also work with Wounded Warriors and Healing Hearts to provide hunts for our wounded veterans.
Fall black bears hunts begin August 10th and continue until the bears go in the den in late October. We offer hunts for fall black bears in two different areas, along river systems where they are congregating and feeding on salmon stocks, and inland where they are feeding on berries.
The fall black bear hunts we offer along the river systems are done primarily by traveling to hunting locations by jet powered riverboats.
We offer these trips as hunting / fishing combination packages where we spend the early morning and late evening hours hunting bears and our mid day hours catching trophy Alaskan rainbow trout and salmon.

Misconception, misinformation, misdirection and misplaced aggression–a case study of a murdered Macqueen's Bustard
Reginald Victor, Kinnari Bhatt
Photographs of a 'spy raptor' killed while flying over the India-Pakistan border in Rajasthan were disseminated over the social media. The 'raptor' was a Macqueen's Bustard, Chlamydotis macqueenii carrying a satellite transmitter assembly and a red leg ring with an inscription K34. The National Avian Research Centre (NARC), Abu Dhabi, has extensively studied the biology of C. macqueenii. The killed bustard was one of the captive-bred bustards participating in NARC's monitoring of their migration. Inquiry showed that this bustard was shot in Afghanistan in 2014 and not in India in 2016 as reported. The report from Afghanistan described this bird as a Taliban drone fitted with a bomb vest. The Indian television channel broadcast this news and misinformed its viewers by calling this bird a spy sent over by Pakistan. The Afghanistan report misdirected this incident to blame the Taliban. The Indian television did the same to incriminate Pakistan. The misconceived labelling of a bird participating in a scientific study as a spy has led to misinformation and misdirection that can provoke international aggression. This paper argues that a Macqueen's bustard contributing to scientific knowledge for conservation has been killed unnecessarily and appeals for an improvement in the knowledge of security agencies about birds carrying identification tags and tracking devices.

Walk into any market or pharmacy and you'll see them abounding. They line the aisles just waiting to be taken into unsuspecting homes to clean the air and make it smell nice and fresh. The selection of vibrant rainbow colors, shapes, and shiny packages abound. You may even feel tempted to buy 100 of them to spread throughout your home and office. The affordable prices makes them seem very appealing. You look at the package and read all the wonderful ingredients. Commercials depict homeowners who use air fresheners as happy, healthy, and content while breathing fresh clean air. These products were made to put your mind at ease and provide you with the means to clean the air and prevent you from worrying about odors and germs. You would never dream that these products could be harmful or hazardous to your health.
The companies that manufacture these products have families across the United States and abroad believing that these products are beneficial and safe. What these companies won't tell you is that these products contribute to severe respiratory illnesses and allergies. When you look at a deodorizer package, you may feel relaxed and comforted by the vibrant colors and shapes and you'll see in the ingredients that there are natural scents like jasmine and chamomile. What you won't see in the ingredients are the plethora of toxic petrochemicals added to these natural ingredients that irritate the lungs, the nasal passages, and your organs. A recent study of mothers and their infants, conducted at Bristol University in England, found that air-freshener sprays were associated with headaches and depression in the mothers and ear infections and diarrhea in the babies.
We've known for a long time that certain deodorizers contains a substance called Phenol, the ingestion of which even in small amounts can cause nausea, vomiting, circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma, respiratory failure, and cardiac arrest. Why would anyone with children keep such a product in their home? We have also learned recently that a well-known deodorizer disinfectant also contains Dioxin! That's the deadly ingredient used in Agent Orange that can cause genetic mutation, birth defects and cancer. A recent article in Greenpeace Magazine discussed Dioxin in length. The article explained that Dioxin causes cancer, birth defects and reproductive problems. It also causes developmental and nervous and immune system abnormalities and damage to the kidneys, liver and skin.
Have you seen the recent commercial depicting gospel singers singing about the divine uplifting fragrance of a popular commercial detergent mixed with a very popular commercial deodorizer? In the 21st Century, this is by far the most toxic mad idea thought of yet and they think that by using gospel singers to sing their praises of it, it's wonderful and divine. The truth is to the contrary. It's common knowledge that commercial detergent contains toxic petrochemicals, irritants, Phthalates, and many other toxins that can potentially cause Cancer and other painful illnesses. When you add a well known popular commercial fragrance deodorizer to the mix, you have a toxic combination that is overwhelming and hazardous to all walks of life, especially young children and the delicate ecosystems and wildlife. Breathing healthy, safe, clean indoor air and outdoor air is very important!
It doesn't matter whether you spray it or just plug it in to an outlet and let the fragrance permeate the air. Air fresheners are touted as healthy safe ways of cleaning and freshening the air, but the truth is the contrary. You don't have enough fingers to count the deodorizers available on the market. They all do the same thing and they are all toxic and unsafe. It won't indicate this because the companies aren't required by the U.S. FDA to disclose this information. The chemicals are not biodegradable, which means that any residue that is emitted into the air and water supply will not break down. In addition to the personal exposure in their own homes, people can also get exposure in commercial venues, such as the public restroom in a supermarket or a restaurant. The chemicals leave a toxic residue that threatens wildlife and contributes to pollution. In order to prevent debilitating illnesses, it is best to avoid these toxic products altogether.
A healthy safe alternative to clean your air and make it smell fresh is pure organic plant essential oils. Organic essential oils of lemon, lavender, patchouli, sandalwood, pine, and wintergreen are wonderful for cleaning and purifying the air and eliminating toxic and offensive odors. You cannot go wrong with natural essential oils. They are non-toxic and 100% effective. My husband and I use them in our home and on our persons every time we step out the door. Essential oils smell nice and have many healing medicinal properties. Lemon is great for cleaning the air and making it smell good, but it's also great for many other things. A couple drops of lemon oil in your water will enhance the flavor and destroy harmful bacteria. You can also mix it with white distilled vinegar and baking soda for cleaning and deodorizing. Peppermint is another wonderful magical healing herb.
Peppermint has been used for centuries for many healing properties. It aids digestion, cleans the breath, soothes sore throats, and helps you to stay cool on a hot day. Peppermint is so strong that a half of a drop will do wonders. Sandalwood is another wonderful magical plant. It smells great and is very calming and relaxing. It can be used to lift the spirits and it does wonders to create a sweet positive atmosphere.
There really is no limit to the wonderful healing power of essential oils. Some are good for internal as well as external use, but many are only for external use. The most important thing to keep in mind is that commercial mainstream products are best avoided. There are many products that claim to contain natural plant scent oils, but this is confusing and not altogether true. The plant oils are not pure. They are a combination of plant essences and petrochemicals. When you see ingredients like chamomile and jasmine, don't be fooled. Once inhaled, these ingredients irritate the lungs and can cause health problems. The best thing environmentally conscious consumers can do is to shop at natural organic health food stores. You will find many non-toxic earth-friendly products that heal and take care of all your cleaning and everyday needs in these stores. You can also make your own homemade mixtures with baking soda, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, and essential oils. It's a myth that toxic chemicals are needed for cleanliness and fresh clean air. People throughout the world use non-toxic earth-friendly products and they're healthy, happy, and clean. Consider this the next time you're tempted to purchase one of these toxic air fresheners. Your health will thank you for it.

Q: VMware Player on Linux, bridge networking I am having trouble with VMware Player 4.0.3 for Linux. I am trying to run a Linux virtual machine guest (from the Linux host), but am unable to successfully get an IP address on the guest with bridge networking. I do have an internet connection and I already ran vmware-netcfg and changed the bridge mode from "Automatic" to my specific network card. I have also ran the command sudo vmware-networks --start which completes successfully.

A: There could be multiple reasons, but i think most likely it is due to an incorrect bridge device (point 1) or you are using a wireless device (point 2).

*

*Make sure you specified the correct device for the bridge. It must be the device used to connect to the internet.

*Don't use a wlan device for your bridge as it will probably not work.

*Ensure your switch does not have port-security enabled

*Ensure your dhcp server will provide an ip address to your vm

If these points do not solve your problem try to manually assign an ip address and connect to the host and provide more details about your network setup.
