Distance between Palana, Kamchatka Krai, Russia and the Tropic of Capricorn
9186 km = 5708 miles
During our calculation of the distance to the Tropic of Capricorn we make two assumptions:
We assume a spherical Earth as a close approximation of the true shape of the Earth (an oblate spheroid). The distance is calculated as great-circle or orthodromic distance on the surface of a sphere.
We calculate the distance between a point on the Earth's surface and the Tropic of Capricorn as the length of the arc of the meridian passing through this point and crossing the Tropic of Capricorn.

The Tropic of Capricorn
The Tropic of Capricorn or Souhern Tropic is a circle of latitude or parallel on the Earth's surface where the Sun appears in zenith once a year, at the time of the winter solstice.
For the points on the Earth's surface located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, the Sun appears in zenith twice a year.
For the points on the Earth's surface located to the north of the Tropic of Cancer and to the south of the Tropic of Capricorn, the Sun never appears in zenith.
The latitude of the Tropic of Capricorn depends on the tilt of the Earth's axis which changes with time.
The current latitude of the Tropic of Capricorn equals 23°26′16″ S.

Home News Review To Take Place Into SNA's Scheme
Review To Take Place Into SNA's Scheme
teacher and three preschoolers playing with wooden blocks
A review of the Special Needs Assistants Scheme is to take place. It will be carried out by the National Council of Special Education to see if the scheme is achieving the best outcomes for children with special needs.
The NCSE says while the scheme is valued by parents, students and schools, there is some frustration at its narrow focus which it suggests should be expanded.
Fórsa which represents almost 8,500 special needs assistants nationwide, has said proposals for a new model of support for children with special education needs – which would see the majority of support posts allocated ahead of time – means there is no excuse for the Government not to give SNAs equal job security to other public servants.
The union's deputy general secretary Kevin Callinan was responding to the publication of a report by the National Council for Special Education today, which made a series of recommendations about the service.
"There is absolutely no excuse for the department and the minister not to give SNAs equal job security to other public servants – particularly teachers. The proposal to allocate support posts ahead of time, with frontloaded supports, can be viewed as a positive development provided it's followed through."
Mr Callinan said the union is now calling on the Department of Education and Skills to immediately engage with the union on the issue of aligning SNA job security with that of other public service workers.
He said the union was also concerned about the move away from allocating the service to children based on a diagnosis.
"There is a worry – from the point of view of parents – that if we have a change of the system, where it's not based on diagnosis, will every single child be able to vindicate the right to access mainstream education?
"We're calling for a locally-based and independent appeals mechanism that would be responsive. A system that could look at situations quickly and that their recommendations would be implemented," he said.

The Flora Ring is also called The Joséphine, named after Krista Kretzschmar's daughter. It is a rather unique bronze ring that enables the owner to wear flowers or smaller seasonal plants that brings natural joy and pleasure. The ring design allows for an easy and quick fixture of the assorted flora.
When worn with flora it is often used by brides and bridesmaids or women attending gala nights or fabulous parties. Without the flora, it is a beautiful, minimalistic ring with influences from 1960's design. The ring also exists in different variations with precious and semi-precious stones. Every piece is handmade, unique and the color may vary and adapt with time.


do these look like pretty spring flowers??
and so a very silent night ending!
What a tease you are, you must have known that I'd take a peek...*s*.... Love your Christmas album, very clever idea.
Lucky swap partner! It looks very much like spring. And yes, Kelly's patterns is just gorgeous. So very happy and bright.
Love the sneak peek, can't wait to see it.
Your views of your new home are gorgeous. I would want to move, too. Beautiful pictures.
I haven't taken up scrap booking, I just couldn't do another hobby. Seeing your album put together makes me want to start.


Wednesday, April 29, 2009 at 15:00, room 2.18, second floor of building E1.1.
The seminar addresses current research on information security and cryptography, both from a theoretical and a practical perspective.
The official registration for the seminar will occur at the organizational meeting taking place Wednesday, April 29.
There are no formal requirements for participation. Students should be familiar with basic topics in computer security and cryptography.
Participation in the organization meeting and all the presentation sessions is mandatory.
The seminar requires both an individual contribution by every participant and a contribution achieved within a team of four people (formed by the speakers of each session).
has to read and understand the papers assigned to the other members of her/his team. Team members will always be assigned papers of similar topic in order to deepen their understanding in the respective area.
You must submit (1) your team report as one LaTeX source and in PDF format, as well as (2) the final version of your slides, before the end of term. All team reports and presentation slides will be made available on this Web site.
All presentation sessions will be held during two consecutive days near the end of the lecture time, but before the exam period.
Each presentation has been allocated 30 minutes. The length of each talk should be 25 minutes, while the remaining 5 minutes will be used for questions and comments. We would like this to be a seminar that participants can profit from, so the main emphasis of the talks must be on being understandable.
Additionally, after the talks of each session the team has allocated 15 minutes to present a list of potentially interesting, scientifically novel ideas, for discussing them in the class, and for identifying the most promising ideas on which the team could work on further.

GLX (initialism for "OpenGL Extension to the X Window System") is an extension to the X Window System core protocol providing an interface between OpenGL and the X Window System as well as extensions to OpenGL itself. It enables programs wishing to use OpenGL to do so within a window provided by the X Window System. GLX distinguishes two "states": indirect state and direct state.

History
Silicon Graphics developed GLX as part of their effort to support OpenGL in the X Window System. In 1999 SGI released GLX under an open-source license, letting it be incorporated in XFree86 source code version 4.0 in 2000. From there, the code was inherited by the forked X.Org Foundation version of the X Window System X11R6.7.0. On September 19, 2008, SGI created a new SGI FreeB License Version 2.0, which "now mirrors the free X11 license used by X.Org" and "meets the free and open source software community's widely accepted definition of 'free'". In 2009 the Free Software Foundation endorsed the SGI Free License B to be a free-software license, and GLX to be an important free-software graphics project. As of 2011, GLX has reached version 1.4.

The first internal implementation of GLX API, called GLcore, loaded a version of the software renderer of Mesa inside the X server and rendered the OpenGL commands in a window or pixmap. With the development of DRI, the ability to use hardware accelerated OpenGL through direct contexts was added (primarily used by videogames). In 2006, the popularization of the nested Xgl X server and Compiz compositing window manager lead to the development of Accelerated Indirect GLX (AIGLX). AIGLX brings hardware acceleration to the GLX (indirect context) applications by loading the Mesa DRI driver inside the X server. This method enables the sharing of GL objects between X clients using indirect contexts (they all are in the same address space in the X server) and also between a X client and the compositing window manager, thus accelerating composition. In 2008 the binding in GLcore to the Mesa software renderer was rewritten as a DRI interface module, called swrast_dri.so, improving the coupling of Mesa and the X server. Also in the year 2008 the new DRI2 was introduced to replace DRI, and with it a new model based in the Kernel mode-setting. In 2011, the Glamor project started, aiming to add a generic hardware-accelerated 2D X driver based in OpenGL. In 2013 Adam Jackson did a major rewrite of GLX code to consolidate the diverse paths from Glamor, indirect rendering, ... to one unique path to OpenGL's library libGL.

Features

GLX consists of three parts:
 An API that provides OpenGL functions to an X Window System application.
 An extension of the X protocol, which allows the client (the OpenGL application) to send 3D rendering commands to the X server (the software responsible for the display). The client and server software may run on different computers.
 An extension of the X server that receives the rendering commands from the client and passes them on to the installed OpenGL library

If client and server are running on the same computer and an accelerated 3D graphics card using a suitable driver is available, the former two components can be bypassed by DRI. In this case, the client application is then allowed to directly access the video hardware through several API layers.

Implementations
 Mesa 3D – a free and open-source library which implements a couple of graphical APIs and also the available Free and open-source device drivers: graphics; for a last resort Mesa 3D also offers fallback software rendering.
 The proprietary device drivers for graphics chips also include an implementation of GLX.

The Best Online Master's in Economics Programs
Summary of work: More than 47 hours of research. Every online Master in Economics program in the US analyzed. 23 industry experts, hiring managers, current students, and alumni consulted. 20 of the best programs identified.
Best Online Master's in Economics Programs
A master's in economics is study that is divided into two primary fields: microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics focuses how individual decisions can affect how individuals and organizations handles wealth. Macroeconomics is more concerned with the national, regional, and global economic markets based on general economic factors, such as interest rates and national productivity. Both are complex fields that require specialized knowledge, which is why many pursue master's degrees.
Students of a master's program can expect courses to focus primarily in three core areas—economic theory, econometrics, and applied economics. While there is a range of subjects within the core areas of focus, it is quite common to follow a degree specification. These common specifications can range from international finance to real estate, where as their capstones will primarily focus on the degree specification they choose to follow. In any case, students can feel confident they are receiving the intensive instruction they need to provide insight as economists.
WHAT CAN I DO WITH A MASTER'S IN ECONOMICS?
Degree holders can work as economists, statisticians, mathematicians, financial advisors, and market research analysts.
CAN I GET A MASTER'S IN ECONOMICS ONLINE?
Yes, many programs offer online degrees. The key is to find an accredited program that suits your specific scheduling needs.
HOW WELL ACCEPTED ARE ONLINE ECONOMICS DEGREES?
Most online degrees are accepted by employers—online degrees are very common and even the most well-respected schools offer them.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET A MASTER'S IN ECONOMICS?
A master's in Economics takes around 2 years to complete, which is the standard length for most graduate programs.
IS A MASTER'S IN ECONOMICS WORTH IT?
An advanced degree often leads to higher salaries and employment rates. In addition, those with economic expertise provide valuable insight that informs critical policies.
As for career stability, there are many roles that a master's in economics can lead to such as statisticians, mathematicians, financial advisors, and market research analysts. Others often become teachers as well to ensure that future students and professionals have advanced training opportunities. But no matter which path a professional chooses, their voices are necessary for shaping the political and economic policy that affects daily life.

We have created this website to illustrate the sort of waste recycling conveyors, machines and systems that we can provide, and hope you find it helpful. If you have any questions, we will be delighted to chat with you on the various contact numbers shown at the bottom of this page, and on the ﮴actsࡧe, which can be found by clicking on the contacts option in the menu bar to the left.
Waste sortation is becoming a growth industry, with governments under ever-rising pressure to reduce usage of landfill by diverting as much waste as possible into recycling plants. This is due to both declining landfill capacity and European regulation. At the same time the HSE are increasingly looking at workplace ergonomics and issues of back-related workplace injuries. Efficient, properly designed Materials Handling Systems are at the core of the solution to both problems, allowing rapid transfer of waste from loading bays to automated sortation machines (or human sortation lines), and thence to output accumulators/balers etc.

What's sapping your energy and what can you do?
One of the biggest complaints from my clients is lack of energy. Energy seems to be one of those illusive things which people always want more of.
1.	Unbalanced levels of protein, fat and carbohydrate.
The ratio of protein, fat and carbohydrate will depend very much on your metabolism and your level of physical activity. Excluding whole food groups from the diet such as carbohydrate or fat is never a good idea as both provide good sources of energy. Remember though that quality is everything here, concentrate on complex (fibrous) carbohydrate rather than refined carbohydrates and essential fats rather than saturated fats.
Eat nourishing foods or, 'nutrient dense,' foods which contain lots of vitamins and minerals. A diet based on whole grains, beans, pulses, good sources of meat and fish with plenty of fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds would provide plenty of good nutrients. Avoid sugar and processed carbohydrates which might be bulky but nevertheless devoid of nutrients.
Avoiding sugar, processed foods and nicotine, keeping caffeine and alcohol down to a minimum and buying organic where you can will help to reduce the toxic load on the liver. Liver detoxification requires a lot of energy so reducing the load here will give you more energy for day to day living.
Remember that stress can be physical, chemical and emotional. Whatever the cause it will drain your energy. The advice I often give to my clients is to control the areas of stress that can be controlled such as chemical stressor which are all the things mentioned in relation to toxic exposure. Exercise can be a stress reliever but too much exercise can also add to your levels of physical stress. If you are stressed consider Yoga and Pilates as an alternative to more overtly physical forms of exercise.
Signs of discomfort in the digestive i.e. gas, bloating, pain, constipation, diarrhoea are all signs of poor digestive function. If you are not digesting you food effectively then you will not be absorbing the nutrients from your food which will lead to vitamin and mineral deficiencies which in turn will deplete your energy. There isn't a simple answer here, poor digestion can be as a result of a whole host of things which would need a deeper exploration than can be given here. See blog post, 'Improve your digestion 7 top tips,' which might help here.

Latino artists help illuminate what it means to be Hispanic in Kansas City
By Vicky Diaz-Camacho, Kansas City PBS and J.P. Haley, KCPT
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For artist Emily Alvarez, painting images of people like her and her family helps establish their place in society.
Alvarez's works are on display in several public spaces in Kansas City metro such as the Aquatic Center locker room for a local Girl Scouts council and Bridge Space, a coworking space in Lee's Summit, Missouri.
The mural she's painting now in Overland Park, Kansas, represents agricultural workers. In it, two women with brown skin work the fields; one woman looks up, her yellow hat shielding her from the sun. The second looks down, her head wrapped in a blue scarf.
The daughter of immigrants from the Dominican Republic and Cuba, Alvarez is one of the few Latina muralists in Kansas City, and her work depicting Hispanic and Latino people is personal to her.
"At every opportunity I get, I try to elevate them and represent them and let them be seen," she said.
Too often though, many Latinos don't feel seen. Isaac Tapia, an artist from Kansas City who works out of his studio space at InterUrban ArtHouse, had one word to express how he felt about not feeling represented.
"Sad. It makes me feel sad," he said.
This is why, during a First Fridays bash at Mattie Rhodes Center in May, Tapia scribbled a note to Kansas City PBS' curiousKC:
"Why aren't there more Latinx murals in Kansas City?"

The Flatland team reached out to historians, cultural directors, curators, sociologists and artists, many of whom identify as Hispanic or Latinx. (Hispanic refers to people from Spanish-speaking countries. "Latinx" is a gender-neutral word for people from Latin America or of Latin American descent.)
Their answers show what is lacking in the area: publicity, resources and perspective. But it also shows that artists are willing to take up the palette for the next generation.
What a mural can mean to the community
Like its fountains, Kansas City has a lot of public art. The art represents what and who the city is.
Yet, a quick scroll through a Kansas City, Missouri, tourism site that shows a group of "iconic murals in KC" doesn't feature any murals that represent the Latino community. That doesn't mean there aren't any Latino murals.
Through email, the tourism board VisitKC said its article was "not intended to be a comprehensive rundown of all the city's murals or the artists behind them," but that they plan "to enhance the representation of both." And representatives from both Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas City, Kansas, said there's no way currently to track art in the city's public spaces. The Office of Culture and Creative Services in KCMO hopes to create a database with that information next summer.
But for a Latino population that makes up approximately 10 percent of Kansas City, Missouri, and 30 percent of Kansas City, Kansas, that lack of artistic recognition can be hard to take.
For many Latino artists, murals help illuminate what it means to be Hispanic in the here and now.
Take, for instance, the Argentine mural by José Faus, a well-known Kansas City artist, poet and teacher. When he got to the neighborhood, overgrown weeds and graffiti were rampant. But the mural transformed the area into a hub for conversation and community.

"(It's) a community staking a claim to their own history and their presence in Kansas City," said Theresa Torres, a sociologist at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. "And I think that's what murals are really all about."
How to make a living making art
A big reason for the dearth of Latino murals is business.
Overall, the arts are profitable. ArtsKC – a nonprofit arts organization that provides research and programs – found that the arts and culture sector is the city's third-largest private sector employer.
However, Latino art in public spaces might not be evident because, for many, a career in art doesn't seem secure. Young artists often lack knowledge about how to value their work monetarily.
"It's hard to sustain when you constantly have to fund it yourselves," Faus said.
Faus has painted almost 25 walls in the Kansas City metro area, as well as Lawrence, Kansas, and said he's witnessed young artists give their work away for free. Young artists don't always know how to negotiate pay, which goes beyond the price of paint and other supplies.
Rodrigo "Rico" Alvarez agrees. Alvarez is also Tapia's friend and business partner. The artists met at Paseo Academy of Fine and Performing Arts in high school and have their own company called ITRA, which stands for each of their initials. Through their work, they hope to inspire young artists.
"I feel like our youth, people of Latin (descent), don't see art as a form of living that could be self-sustainable, so they shy away from it. So money right now could be the factor that's making these kids running for the hills," Alvarez said.
Young artists who are eager to paint a wall might do it for free, only asking patrons to pay for supplies. But Rico and Tapia want to educate up-and-coming artists so they know how to work the art and business in tandem.
'You don't have to go to L.A. to see this'
In Kansas City, the tides are shifting.
Alvarez, Tapia and Alvarez are working on a series of murals in downtown Overland Park, which was unheard of years ago.
Faus knows that's true because he tried almost 30 years ago. He said, then, there was a lack of community support for Latino art in public spaces. But now, years later, he's hopeful for the future.
"(The) culture is changing. I see the streets in Kansas City are looking kind of hipster in a way – embracing the style that they used to hate. I think it's just a matter of time," he said.
For Emily Alvarez, her mural "Esperanza" is a chance to represent agriculture workers. Photo courtesy of Emily Alvarez
They are satisfying a need that even Deanna Muñoz, CEO of the Latino Arts Foundation, said has been missing. Her new office, which is across from city hall, dons a mural that "is all me." For her, that means lowrider cars, and a woman with brown skin, hoop earrings and lips outlined in wine-colored paint. The mural makes her feel seen.
"You don't have to go to L.A. to see this," she said. "It's right here." She smiled because she saw herself, someone who looks like her, in Kansas City.
Tapia's question came from a place of wanting to know his community leaders and to find a way to represent them in art. Rico wants to teach the next generation of artists to be business savvy. And Alvarez wants to display the different layers of Latinidad, of being Hispanic or Latinx.
"(There are) so many cultural backgrounds, such colorful heritage, that I think needs to be represented more in the variety that it exists in," she said. "I would like to do my part if I can."

US internet hosts are linchpin of criminal botnets
Technology 10 November 2010
By Jim Giles
WHILE criminal gangs in Russia and China are responsible for much of the world's cybercrime, many of the servers vital to their activities are located elsewhere. An investigation commissioned by New Scientist has highlighted how facilities provided by internet companies in the US and Europe are crucial to these gangs' activities.
Researchers at Team Cymru, a non-profit internet security company based in Burr Ridge, Illinois, delved into the world of botnets – networks of computers that are infected with malicious software. Millions of machines can be infected, and their owners are rarely aware that their computers have been compromised or are being used to send spam or steal passwords.
Several botnets have been linked to gangs based in Russia, where police have a poor record on tackling the problem. But to manage their botnets these gangs often seem to prefer to use computers, known as command-and-control (C&C) servers, in western countries. More than 40 per cent of the 1500 or so web-based C&C servers Team Cymru has tracked this year were in the US. When it comes to hosting C&C servers, "the US is significantly ahead of anyone else", says Steve Santorelli, Team Cymru's director of global outreach in San Diego.
Santorelli and his colleagues also detected a daily average of 226 C&C servers in China and 92 in Russia. But European countries not usually linked with cybercrime were in a similar range, with an average of 120 C&C servers based in Germany and 64 in the Netherlands.
Internet hosts in western countries appeal to criminals for the same reasons that regular computer users like them, says Santorelli: the machines are extremely reliable and enjoy high-bandwidth connections. Team Cymru's research did not identify which companies are hosting botnet servers, but Santorelli says the list would include well-known service providers.
"Criminals prefer internet hosts in western countries as they are reliable and have fast connections"
The use of US-based C&C servers to control botnets is a source of frustration to security specialists, who have long been aware of the problem. It is happening even though most hosting companies shut down C&C servers as soon as they receive details of botnet activity from law enforcement agencies and security firms. "When we see an AT&T address serving as a botnet control point, we take it very seriously," says Michael Singer, an executive director at AT&T.
Despite these efforts, the criminals can quickly re-establish control by setting up a new C&C server with a different company, often using falsified registration information and stolen credit card details.
Hosting companies deal with botnets on a voluntary basis at present. They might be more vigilant if required to act by law, but that would create its own regulatory problems, Santorelli says. "The cops don't run or govern the internet after all, and neither do they want to," he says. For legal controls to work, it would be necessary to define who has the authority to decide whether a server is part of a botnet, and how requests from authorities abroad are dealt with.
Jeffrey Carr of security firm Taia Global, based in Washington DC, says that some less well-known providers have been warned about botnet activity on many occasions, but drag their heels when asked to shut down the criminals' servers.
The problem arises partly because web hosting can be a big earner for some firms. "They're generating millions of dollars in income," says Carr. Improvements in security, such as requiring service providers to verify the details of people who rent server facilities, could well hurt these firms' bottom line.

Q: Domain and codomain of (generalized) Fourier series? Is Fourier series also defined firstly as $L^1([a,b])→l^∞$, and can be extended to $L^p([a,b])→l^q$ where $p∈(1,2],1/p+1/q=1$ in some way similar to Fourier transform?
I didn't find the answer in the Wikipedia article for Fourier series, or some books I have. So references are also appreciated.
What can we say about generalized Fourier series?
Thanks and regards!

A: Since $L^p[a,b] \subset L^1[a,b]$, there's no need for an "extension".  The fact
that the Fourier series maps $L^p$ into $\ell^q$ for $p \in [1,2]$ is the Hausdorff-Young theorem.
EDIT: The same proof, using the Riesz-Thorin theorem, shows that this works for generalized Fourier series with respect to any orthonormal basis of functions
$u_n$ with $|u_n|$ uniformly bounded.

Adult humans continuously produce new neurons in the striatum, a brain region involved in motor control and cognitive functions, and these neurons could play an important role in recovery from stroke and possibly finding new treatments for neurodegenerative disorders, according to a study published by Cell Press in the journal Cell. To detect the birth of new neurons in the striatum, the authors used a method that measures carbon-14 found in human DNA as a result of above-ground nuclear testing more than half a century ago. The findings reveal a surprise finding of new neurons in a human brain structure where they haven't been previously described. The discovery may open up new avenues to treat diseases and disorders that affect the striatum.
"A wide variety of disorders may affect the striatum, including acquired conditions such as stroke and also genetically inherited disorders such as Huntington's disease," says study author Aurélie Ernst of the Karolinska Institute. "We identified a unique pattern of neurogenesis in the adult human brain that might potentially be useful for the development of novel therapies for some of these neurological diseases."
Adult humans and other mammals produce immature neurons in several brain regions, including the lateral ventricle wall. In rodents, new neurons in this brain structure migrate to the olfactory bulb - a brain region involved in odor perception. But this is not the case in humans, possibly because the sense of smell is less important for us than for other mammals. The fate of new neurons born in the lateral ventricle wall of humans had been a mystery.
Attempting to address this question, Jonas Frisén of the Karolinska Institute and his team used an innovative method for dating the birth of neurons. Their strategy takes advantage of the elevated atmospheric levels of carbon-14, a radioactive form of carbon, caused by above-ground nuclear bomb testing more than 50 years ago. Since the 1963 nuclear test ban treaty, atmospheric levels of carbon-14 have declined at a known rate. When we eat plants or animal products, we absorb carbon-14, and the exact atmospheric concentration at any point in time is stamped into DNA every time a new cell is born.
By measuring the carbon-14 concentration in DNA from the brain tissue of deceased humans, the researchers found that neurogenesis occurs not only in the lateral ventricle wall in adult humans, but also in an adjacent brain region called the striatum. By contrast, neurogenesis in this brain region was significantly reduced in patients who had Huntington's disease, which is characterized by uncontrolled movements and cognitive decline due to the progressive loss of striatal neurons.
"The identification of a subset of neurons that is renewed in the adult human striatum raises the question whether this process can be taken advantage of for therapeutic purposes," Ernst says. "Increasing the generation or promoting the survival of new neurons might offer an attractive possibility in some cases."

The world of real estate development was of course not unknown for us. A customer like Marjal, which focuses on the design of all of its work and how it communicates, is a joy. Marjal designs and develops luxury homes. Their projects have a characteristic architecture and interior designs. Light is a very important element for them.
The design of the Marjal Catalog, signature Properties, approaches an editorial layout, in a very refined way. The idea was to design a book, beyond a catalog, which would transmit the essence of the projects. The art direction of the photography was an essential part of the project. A spectacular home requires treatment and also a spectacular image. The attrezzo selects carefully to make homes look like they are "lived in" in an approach to photographs in decorating magazines, clearly fleeing from them to seem like mere "first floor flats".
Project: Catalog design, art direction, photography.

In my first job as a beauty writer at Cosmopolitan way back in 2002, I noticed my editor (Priya Ramani) would drink copious amounts of hot water. Even in summer. She had the clearest skin and was also super slim (she still is), without making much effort. I often wondered if it had to do with her drinking boiling hot water in the peak summer. Now, many years later, I'm convinced that it was mostly this habit (she was also vegan at that time), which was the reason behind her clear skin.
Most of us love chugging cold, iced water and drinks, especially so with a meal. But, according to ayurveda, this is probably the worst thing you can do for your digestion. Think of a bowl of lentils with desi ghee - add a few chunks of ice to it and what do you have? Congealed fat, which does not get absorbed, but instead clogs your system. So to begin with never, never drink cold water (or for that matter any other chilled beverage) with food.
Then, get into the habit of drinking at least room temperature water. This will put you in the habit of the next step - drinking warm (or hot) water instead of cold water, all the time. Hot or warm water increases your metabolism, detoxifies you body, and helps promote digestion. This means that just drinking warm water will help you lose weight, clear your skin and make it more glow from within.
Note: Never ever drink warm or hot water in a plastic bottle because it will be carcinogenic (cancer causing). Drink it in a steel or glass bottle.

Comedy Review: Ahir Shah's Control
Ahir Shah: Control ★★★★★
By Lydia Manch Last edited 17 months ago
Lydia Manch Comedy Review: Ahir Shah's Control Ahir Shah: Control 5
Ahir Shah's new show deals with Brexit and Trump, with the rise of fascism across the world and the decline of kindness. Big tragic hypocrisies and insidious, personal ones. All the thorny stuff.
Fortunately Control is more than up to the task. It's true the lolz are frontloaded in the show. The final third becomes more reflective, the earlier mix of personal and political shifting in favour of the latter. It's far from uneven, though. By the end of the show, Control is an equal mix of comedy and poetry, Shah's fired-up invective landing like Kate Tempest dropping bars. Control's not light-hearted — not remotely — but the energy of Shah's anger and defiance, and the deftness of his delivery keeps it buoyant.
Ahir Shah: Control, Soho Theatre, 21 Dean Street, Soho, W1D 3NE. Tickets from £9, 6-10 March 2018.

Fresh meat in a fresh light
Special LED lamps light up sausages and meat in Zinsler butcher's shop – without heating the products.
"The importance of appealing product presentation is growing all the time", explains Bernd Zinsler, "people are buying more spontaneously and relying less on shopping lists." The master butcher stands behind the counter of his shop in Mulfingen and has just sold one of his specialities: home-made "maultaschen" (Southern German filled pasta pockets).
In order to improve the presentation of meat and sausages, Zinsler decided to have a new lighting system installed in his shop. Instead of the 20 old energy-intensive halogen lamps, a fresh new light is now cast on the products by 10 efficient LED lamps developed by the company Bäro especially for use in butchers' shops.
Optimised presentation
"The importance of appealing product presentation is growing all the time", explains Bernd Zinsler.
Thanks to the changes in his shop, Zinsler now saves 50% more energy and profits from other benefits as well. "Before, our sausages were cooled from below and heated from above. Now, the lamps hardly emit any heat at all. What's more, the LED light keeps flies away and has a colour temperature which emphasises the freshness of the meat and sausages. To top it all off, the LEDs have a considerably longer service life than the halogen lamps", explains the master butcher, who took over the business from his father in 1994.
The LEDs are cooled by an ebm-papst compact fan. "Temperature management is paramount in LED technology", clarifies Herbert Schmid, Area Manager at Bäro. "LEDs do not radiate heat in the direction of the lighting, but their board temperature increases during operation nonetheless." The fan maintains an ambient temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, and keeps the board temperature under 65 degrees. Only this can allow the LED to perform at its best.
Growing together with ebm-papst
The butcher's shop was delivering filled rolls for lunch to Mulfingen as early as 50 years ago.
As Zinsler watched the LED lamps being installed, he recognised the ebm-papst logo on the fans immediately, as the history of the Mulfingen-based company is closely linked to that of his own business: his butcher's shop was delivering filled rolls for lunch as early as 50 years ago. "Back then, there were only six or seven employees. Nowadays, we still deliver around a third of the meat and sausage products, which are locally-sourced and slaughtered by us. We've grown in the meantime as well", the master butcher chuckles.

Developer: Traxmaster Software LLC

Genre: Adventure, Action, Platformer, Arcade
Age Rating: PEGI 7
Price: £10.99 – Rapid Reviews was very kindly provided with a review code for this title.
A fun platformer with an eye-catching aesthetics
Before I got a review copy for Exception, I looked at this game, and I thought "Wow, this game looks so nice and it seems like fun as well!" and so I decided to review this game for the site. I didn't have big expectations either, except that this game was going to be fun. So did it hit that expectation? Did it completely miss? Or better yet, did it exceed my expectations? Let's find out.
This level was hard to complete… However, I did it.
The story begins within a computer where threads live to store and send information across the system, and they also worship who they call "Alice34" like a god. Little do they know she is just this grandmom, just trying to email her grandchildren. However, she encounters this advertisement for free software, and even though her computer warned her that it could be dangerous, she downloads it anyway. Soon the system turns into chaos, and a bit later, this giant being comes out of the flames. As you progress through the game, you'll unlock more of the story, and in my opinion, the story is surprisingly great. It has this nice comic book aesthetic as you read through it and it makes you think. Not one of the most complicated stories, though, but it is great.
Basically, the goal of the story is to destroy these things.
I did enjoy the visuals for this game. The neon aesthetic used for this title pops for me, and one of my favourite things has to be getting hit. When you get damaged, the resolution also goes down, and while this might be distracting to others, I found it quite impressive. Sometimes I would get hit on purpose to see the downgraded visuals. It is also a reward to players who play their best not to get hit in order to see the excellent resolutions.
When you get hit too much, t.he visuals go down… Nice touch
While I have been speaking positively about this game, it does fall pretty flat on one thing – the soundtrack. The music is mediocre to fine, it wasn't something I liked listening to, and there were very few tracks in the game. However, the music is fitting for the game. After I got a good dose of the music, I decided to mute the game and listen to random videos and podcasts while playing.
Music might not be up to tastes, but everything else makes up for it!
As for the gameplay, it is simple but a lot of fun. Each level feels unique in its own way, and the controls are very fluid, as well as responsive, and you complete these levels by destroying control nodes found in every level. That being said, it has its drawbacks. The knockback can be annoying at times, and some blue chips you collect in the game called "Bytes" can also be very irritating. What are Bytes you say? Well Bytes are used for you to upgrade the skills you unlock as you play through the game. You get these skills by doing a level as fast as you can with four stars the max.
These skills also range from "cool" to "why is this a separate skill?" That was the question I asked a lot when I unlocked these skills. However, even then, I didn't allow this to impact my experience with the game, and I still really enjoy going through these levels and seeing what tricks they had during them. There is also a lot of player choice in this game, in which you can adjust the damage you can take from 3 to 999, you can also skip the story sections if you want, but I don't recommend you do so since the story is excellent.
This game also has a ranking system, and for one level I got within the top 3!
Now finally, what are my closing thoughts are on the game? I 100% believe that this game exceeded my expectations. While the music and the skills you unlocked were a bit of a bummer, that still didn't take away the great story, the beautiful visuals and the excellent level design. This game was a great ride, and I recommend everybody to play it if they are fans of platformers.

WikiProteins enables community annotation in a Wiki-based system. Extracts of major data sources have been fused into an editable environment that links out to the original sources. Data from community edits create automatic copies of the original data. Semantic technology captures concepts co-occurring in one sentence and thus potential factual statements. In addition, indirect associations between concepts have been calculated. We call on a 'million minds' to annotate a 'million concepts' and to collect facts from the literature with the reward of collaborative knowledge discovery. The system is available for beta testing at http://www.wikiprofessional.org.
