At the base of our newest operation – the Long Canyon mine near the cities of West Wendover and Wendover on the Nevada-Utah border – is the Big Spring, an important water source that the two communities once depended on. Recognizing early on that our mining activities might potentially impact this source, we engaged technical experts and both communities to work in partnership on sharing this vital resource.
In 2012, Newmont and the two cities formed a Water Working Group, which negotiated a water agreement to address two major goals: safeguard the cities' existing supply of water during the life of the mine and provide Newmont with an additional source of water for its activities at Long Canyon.
As part of the agreement, the cities granted Newmont access to the cities' surplus water supply, and Newmont agreed to construct two potable water municipal wells. Finished in 2016, the well system provides the cities a more sustainable water source than the spring. In addition, the wells' capacity is approximately four times greater than that of the old system.
At another one of our operations – the Ahafo mine in Ghana – we have partnered with the communities near the mine for more than a decade to develop and strengthen their potable water infrastructure. Much of this work has been done in Ntotroso and Kenyasi, where community members who were resettled as a result of mining activities reside.
Initially, small potable water systems were built and a Water and Sanitation Committee (WATSAN) – composed of trained committee members – was formed to develop the knowledge needed for community members to ultimately independently manage their water system. In 2010, work started on the Kenyasi Water Project (KWP) – an expansion and integration of the water systems. Today, there are three water systems serving more than 50,000 residents, and activity is expected to continue with additional boreholes and the construction of a new overhead reservoir planned for 2017.


Happy Thursday everyone! Only 1 more day to go before the weekend......YAY!! And even better, its Valentines Day tomorrow. I hope you all have a fabulous day tomorrow and your loved ones spoil you rotten.
I know I posted an interview not too long ago but I have fallen in love with my next designer/author and have been hanging out to share her amazing work with you. The designer I'm talking about is Abigail Ahern. Abigail is such an amazing designer and author and I was lucky enough to get in contact with her to ask her a few questions. So please read on to check out my questions and her amazing answers. She even provided me with some fantastic photos of her work for you all to have a look at.
Everywhere - travel, walking my dogs, flicking through magazines, watching a movie - literally everywhere!
My store by far. Not that it's really a project, but out of everything I've done, the store is and always will be number one. Curating and designing a collection of products that then flies around the world is pretty darn cool!
Thank you! I love writing. Luckily my publishers wanted it writte in my yabbery style so I have memories of spending long hours at my desk in the summer with the garden doors wide open, writing from the heart about stuff I am well and truly passionate about. I also got to visit some amazing spaces in NYC, Paris and London so they truly inspired me.
What was the most recent purchase for your home?
A chandelier for my studio. it's a supersized one which I just love.
I think to buy only what you love and not what is in or out, hot or not. Follow your heart and you can't go wrong.
What can we expect next from Abigail Ahern?
A paint range launching in Spring, a furniture range for later in the year, and an expanded Design School with dates around the globe. I think if I can do all of that I'll be a happy girl.
What a busy lady but she sounds like so much fun! As promised a few photos of her amazing work for you.
I actually have just finished reading one of her books so a review will be coming your way shortly.
Enjoy Valentine's Day ladies and have a fabulous weekend.

Memoriał Andrzeja Trochanowskiego – jednodniowy wyścig kolarski poświęcony pamięci Andrzeja Trochanowskiego, rozgrywany corocznie od 1989 w Polsce, najczęściej w województwie mazowieckim. Od 2005 należy do cyklu UCI Europe Tour.

Pierwsza edycja odbyła się w 1989 w Warszawie w formule wyścigu jednodniowego w celu upamiętnienia zmarłego rok wcześniej Andrzeja Trochanowskiego. W kolejnych latach impreza odbywała się corocznie w różnych miejscowościach województwa mazowieckiego (między innymi w Wyszkowie, Legionowie czy Piastowie), sporadycznie w innych lokalizacjach (Kazimierz Dolny w województwie lubelskim). Wyścig przyjmował w tym czasie najczęściej formę kryterium ulicznego, rozgrywanego z reguły w obsadzie międzynarodowej. Od 2000 wyścig przyjął formę rywalizacji jednodniowej odbywającej się corocznie na trasach wokół Baboszewa na początku maja – w latach 2000–2004 znalazł się w kalendarzu UCI z kategorią 1.5, a od 2005 należy do cyklu UCI Europe Tour z kategorią 1.2.

Edycja z 2020 została odwołana ze względu na pandemię COVID-19 w Polsce. Z tego samego powodu nie odbyła się edycja z 2021.

Caproni Са 90
Flight, January 1931
THE CAPRONI 90 P. B.
Когда в 1929 году появился 6-моторный тяжелый бомбардировщик Caproni Са 90, он стал самым большим самолетом в мире. Хотя рекорд по размаху крыла и массе в том же году побила летающая лодка Dornier Do X, крупнейшим "сухопутным" самолетом оставался Са 90 - ДальшеMore>>> пока в 1934 году не появился советский АНТ-20 "Максим Горький". Caproni Са 90 был построен по схеме "перевернутого" полутораплана, на его нижнем крыле устанавливались две пары тандемно расположенных W-образных двигателей Isotta-Fraschini Asso. Еще одна пара двигателей находилась на стойках над фюзеляжем.
После испытаний отдельных элементов начали программу испытаний и оценки Са 90, включавшую серию полетов, при этом были установлены рекорды высоты, длительности полета и подъема полезной нагрузки.
Тип: тяжелый бомбардировщик
Силовая установка: шесть W-образных двигателей Isotta-Fraschini Asso каждый мощностью 1000 л. с. (746 кВт)
Летные характеристики: максимальная скорость 205 км/ч; практический потолок 4500 м; длительность пребывания в воздухе 7 ч
Масса: пустого 15 000 кг; максимальная взлетная 30 000 кг
Размеры: размах крыла 46,60 м; длина 26,95 м; высота 10,80 м; площадь крыльев 496,60 м2
Вооружение: несколько наводимых 7,7-мм пулеметов, плюс до 8000 кг бомб
Italy's Giant Bomber
DURING the last few years Sig. Caproni, who appears to revel in what are popularly known as "giant" aircraft, economised somewhat in the dimensions of his machines - even descending from the "hundreds" to the mean proportions of the light 'plane, as in the Ca.100T, or Italian version of the "Moth." Just recently, however, this well-known Italian designer reverted to his original and early belief in the large-sized machine, and produced the Caproni 90 P.B., a few particulars of which, together with illustrations, we are able to publish this week.
The Caproni 90 P.B. is a multi-engined biplane designed for military purposes, and following typical Caproni practice - short-span upper plane and low boat-like fuselage. It has a total span of 162 ft. 6 in. (49-56 m.), and an overall height of 39 ft. 4 in. (12 m.). Owing to the fine proportions of this machine it is difficult to form an idea of its real size unless compared with some adjacent object, such as buildings or men. This will be apparent on examining the accompanying illustrations.
The Ca.90 is constructed entirely of high-tension steel tubing, Sig. Caproni having decided that this material was preferable to light alloys (duralumin or aluminium). All joints and fittings for the steel tubing are of the socket type, and are turned entirely out of the solid. The entire structure has been carefully checked and tested for strength at the well-known laboratory of the Milan Royal Polytechnical College, and further tests were carried out in the testing laboratory adjacent to the Taliedo Works of the Caproni Co.
At the moment we have not got complete constructional details of this machine, but many of the general features may be disclosed by a careful study of the accompanying illustrations. It will be seen that the wings are of fairly thick section, the lower, and larger span, plane being mounted on the top of the fuselage and comprising a short central section to which are attached outer extensions, set at a dihedral angle. The short upper plane is without dihedral, and is supported by two pairs of vertical struts from the lower centre section, and a pair of sloping (very much so, it will be observed) struts at each extremity.
The six engines fitted in the Ca.90P.B. are 1,000 h.p. Isotta Fraschini "Asso" models, arranged in three groups in tandem, one group mounted centrally between the wings, above the fuselage, and the other two mounted on the lower centre section.
Although he fitted six engines in this machine, Sig. Caproni stated that, in his opinion, the tri-motor type of aeroplane was the best solution, and he would have installed only three in the Ca.90 had he been able to obtain suitable engines - the multiplicity of engines, he states, enormously complicates matters for the pilot who should be able to devote the maximum possible attention to the control of the machine itself.
However, the control of the Ca.90 is nevertheless stated to be exceedingly light, the Italian pilot, Domenico Antonini, who carried out the test flights, said he found the controls as light as those of much smaller machines, and stated further that he found the instruments, etc., so well arranged as to eliminate all the difficulties that might be expected on a machine of this size and with so many engines.
The Ca.90 carries a useful load of about 22 tons, using the international safety factor, or 35 tons using the German safety factor; it can carry this load over a range of 1,243 miles (2,000 km.). In addition to bomb gear, this machine is equipped with efficient armament, comprising a gun position in the extreme nose of the fuselage, another well behind the wings, and a third on the top plane.
It is stated that the Ca.90 can easily be adapted for commercial work, it being possible to provide comfortable accommodation, in a spacious cabin, for a hundred or more passengers. Furthermore, with but little increase in weight it would be possible to modify the fuselage so as to render it watertight, and thus allow of alighting and normal floating on the water, or convert the machine into an amphibian.
In conclusion, it should be mentioned that the pilot Antonini established several international records on this machine on February 22 at Cascina Malpensa, viz., with a load of 10,000 kg., 1 hr. 31 min. duration, 3,231 m. altitude, and others for various loads.
Фюзеляж Са 90 сваривался из стальных труб и обтягивался полотном - за исключением передней части, которая обшивалась гофрированным дюралем.

The gaming industry is a business at heart, but it is unlike any other business. This medium entertains, involves, is considered an art form, and allows for unparalleled control by the player. Furthermore, this instrument of entertainment can also morph into every other form that exists in this world. So why are we becoming bottle necked into AAA games and their hype? AAA games have become so infested with marketing ploys that at this point, it would not be a stretch for Don Draper to be pulling the strings. I know, right now you're thinking to yourself that you have heard this a thousand times, but not in this manner so stick with me. Most gamers would argue to the death that video games are a form of art and deserve all the respect in the world. So why in the hell are we allowing a few trumped up suits to dictate what represents video games as a whole in the public eye? You may be thinking to yourself at the moment that it isn't true, but take this simple example. Battlefield, COD, and DOOM are all widely known among casual players,. but Undertale is a bona-fide myth. You can thank the AAA marketing and advertising machine for that.
Months upon months of chopped up sizzle reels, farcical play throughs, and company bought peons shoving content down our throats of a game that we may never see the real version. Now most of your minds immediately shift to No Mans Sky, and we will get to that debauchery later but for now let us focus on the Division. The trailer that was shown to us at E3 in 2013 was the completely perfect example to prove just how far off the rails this train has gotten. The gameplay that was shown was not only a rouse to gain our trust in development but was also a selling point, crafted by the Mad Man himself Don Draper (not really). We were privileged enough to see a build of a game that would never come to fruition,. A living breathing New York city with environmental clues that would lead to further investigation, revealing smaller pieces to a bigger puzzle. The players on screen were able to gain intelligence on certain situations by simply being aware to their surroundings and looking deeper at what was being offered. The gameplay itself, the most important aspect of a game of this caliber was a complete sham.
Enemies were not bullet sponges and furthermore were crafted with better, smarter A.I than we saw in the final product. There was even evidence of a player using his tablet away from his console and all of the action able to control a drone to bring support to his fellow agents. Where was all this in the officially released of The Division? No where to be found, investigation would only lead you to things that happened in the form of Echoes, a few you could intervene with but most were of no consequence to the current world presented to you. Enemies that you face within the world are no longer smart adversaries with reasonable health pools, they had become easily dispatched bullet sponges playing a numbers game as opposed to being a real threat. That innovative tablet gameplay I mentioned earlier hasn't even been mentioned by Ubisoft, not even a whisper. On top of all these missing elements we were even treated to built in marketing as the DLC The Underground was shown in the most pedestrian of ways check the 2013 E3 trailer if you don't believe me. Instead of giving us the interesting and gorgeous game we were shown that year, The Division was a complete disaster at launch.
The first AAA title to violate our trust in 2016, a year that was more the result of advanced marketing techniques than actual follow through. The hype Train as we call it, is a dark spot on the face of gaming as a whole. Ad men lead us to believe what they are showing as an undeniable fact other than what it is, a selling point to an audience they believe to have a lower IQ than their dogs. Why do we feed into this type of behavior? Allowing these men to run Hollywood type campaigns that twist and turn their every word until we agree to buy what they are selling. Is it the fact that we put these men and women of gaming on a pedestal and hold them to their word because we let them into our homes with half baked games? They have long since created wonderful world's with incredible stories and top notch gameplay so we began to trust them empirically and not question anything we see that may even be three years away. Instead, we eagerly toss our money at them in the form of pre-orders in hopes that this game will be great – oh and hey, a free gun skin! These people are not your friends, they are business men and women using any tool they can to chase the almighty dollar, even giving away items that are effortless for them to create but they somehow can't make the game they once showed us that sold so many gamers on their game, if you can even call some of these games.
If you're sitting here reading this and are yelling at your screen saying some games just go through changes throughout development and of course they do, but then I will present you with No Mans Sky. Now, I'm not going to continue beating this drum like every other gamer with a pulse but only to tell you that it can be that bad if we allow it. Sony backed Sean Murray and his ability to keep secrets even though they showed the game far to early to appease to the masses sense of imagination and exploration. We all know by this point that No Mans Sky was one of the best selling games on Steam in 2016, it was also one of the most rage inducing games to ever be released and is the sole reason we should approach games with more reservation.
Multiple game companies this year thought it was okay for them to release games that could not live up to their initial showings, in small and large examples. This is because we all lose our minds when a new game is shown and it is many years out, regardless of how much we have actually seen. I will even admit that this year when Death Stranding was shown I lost it, but even in Kojimas hands I'm going to hold back. It has nothing to do with lack of faith in one of my favorite game developing minds and more so in the lack of faith I have in the industry as a whole. It has to do with the trends they follow and shady business tactics they implement to get us to buy a game before we even have a chance to really know what it is, let alone play the damn thing. Strategy is everything to the big AAA developers right now and if we can take a step back from the hype and form our own educated opinions on these games we have a chance to derail future endeavors that attempt to steal $60 from our pocket for essentially a blank disc.
Businesses must thrive in order to stay in business and that is just a fact of life, but wouldn't you rather have your favorite developers and publishers stay in business based on merit? Have the game come out 6 months after the initial reveal and let it stand on its own two feet and win us over with the games beautiful quality and game changing ideas. Is it possible that some companies don't have faith in their games? Absolutely, and that should make them reevaluate how they create rather than how they market. We are all adults here and in the end you will make your own decisions on which games to play and which to ignore. As a gamer I am proud of my heritage and I hope that this era of gaming is looked upon as one that didn't allow the market to sway us, but for us as consumers and lovers of this art , to influence the market. Make AAA pay for they way it handles our patronage, because it seems sometimes they forget that it is not entitled to them, but earned by opening our minds and creating what we never thought was possible.
Over watch is not free to play its sixty bucks?


I just thought that a manga/manhwa/novel based forum like this one should have a suggestions thread somewhere. Sure, we can use the chatbox, but it could be nice for people looking for similar things to check out from time to time.
When there's no manga or novel to read. I usually look for any korean drama available.
The latest one I watched is Golden Time and it's awesome.
Fine, I'll make a forum.
To Read, Watch & Play forum.
For manga, I'd highly recommend Horimiya by HERO, Majime na Jikan by Seike Yukiko, Kamisama Hajimemashita by Suzuki Julietta, Kyou no Kira-kun by Mikimoto Rin, LAST GAME by Amano Shinobu, Orange by Takano Ichigo, and Yukarism by Shiomi Chika.
I read mostly shoujo. Haha. The first two are shounen and seinen though, but they're really good.
ohheyjanie, I really like Horimiya. It's cute and reads like a shoujo.
I read a lot of manhwa, like Dear My Girls and Oh My Romantic Gumiho. I like a lot of webtoons too. For a while I really enjoyed Orange Marmalade.
It's hard to find good things to read or watch. My fav kdrama Signal, good detective drama. Anime there's a lot but I recommend Hyouka. If you get stuck and ran out of things to watch switch between jdrama, cdrama, and kdrama . Right now I'm addicted to Chinese novel. So fun to read .

Study objective: To describe the contribution of social conditions for the main causes of injury deaths in Swedish children and youth aged 5–25 years.
Design: Cohort study. All children below 15 years of age that resided in Sweden 1985 were followed up during 1991–1995. Injury deaths were recorded from The National Cause of Death Register. Information on parental social determinants were collected from various national registers. Connections between the social determinants and an injury death outcome were analysed in multivariate Cox regression models.
Main results: In total 1474 injury deaths were recorded during approximately 8 million person years. In a regression model, with control for sex, year of birth, and residency (urban/rural), the aetiological fraction for parental SES, maternal country of birth, family situation, parental risk factors, and all these factors combined were 13%, 6%, 1.4%, 1.3%, and 19%, respectively. Similar regression models were studied separately for each of the main causes of injury death. The parental social determinants explained 58% of all homicides, 47% of all motor traffic injuries, and 30% of all other traffic injuries while the suicide rate was not affected by these determinants. Parental socioeconomic status was the single most important parental determinant for all major causes of injury.
Conclusions: There was a wide variation of the aetiological fractions of parental social determinants for different causes of injury death. This variation might be used to further investigate the social aetiology of injuries.
socioeconomic factors
http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/jech.56.9.688
Accidental and intentional injuries are leading causes of death in children and youth. Socioeconomic conditions are determinants for this health problem. The rate of injury deaths has been reported to be two to three times higher in low socioeconomic status groups as compared with high status groups, in Australia,1 Canada,2 New Zealand,3 Sweden,4 UK,5,6 and USA.7,8 Most reports only describe odds ratios (OR) for different unfavourable social conditions. Certain uncommon social exposures might give high odds ratios but explain little of the total incidence. Aetiological fractions (AF) 9 take the occurrence of different exposures into account. AF will therefore describe the contribution of different social causes in a better way. Yet, assessments of social determinants have seldom been presented as AF.
Injury is a heterogeneous phenomenon. Thus, social conditions might contribute more to certain forms of injuries than to others. Understanding of the variation in social causality, between different forms of injuries, might help to explain the mechanism that conveys the effects of social disadvantage. Yet, cause specific social class mortality differentials have only been described by a few authors, including Roberts who studied injury mortality of children aged 0–15 years in England and Wales 1985–92.5 He found that the OR, when social class V is compared with social class I, varied between OR=16.3 for injury deaths attributable to fire, OR=5 for drowning and suffocation deaths, and OR=1.6 for motor vehicle traffic accidents deaths. No information is given on AF.
The objective of this study is to describe the contribution of social conditions for the main causes of accidental and intentional injures in Swedish children and youth aged 5–25 years.
POPULATION AND METHODS
The study population consisted of all children below 15 years of age that resided in Sweden 1985 according to the census that was carried out that year. These children were accordingly born in the years 1970–1985. Thus, the participants were 5–25 years of age at the time of their death.
The variables for the outcomes in the study were created from data on underlying cause of death (ICD-9 chapter XVII), from the National Cause of Death Register for the years 1991–1995. Motor traffic injury deaths include cycle or pedestrian injuries when a motor vehicle is involved. Suicide deaths included certain (E850-E859) as well as suspected (E880-E889) suicides.
In Sweden, all people are identified by unique identification numbers. These numbers have been used to link The National Cause of Death Register with information on social conditions that is available in other registers. The social determinants that were studied, and their origin, are listed in table 1.
Sources of the determinants that were studied
The connection between the social determinants and the outcome, was analysed by means of multivariate Cox regression analysis of person years in the study with presentations of OR and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for these odds ratios. Person years were calculated with the aid of annual data on immigration from the Swedish Tax and Enumeration Surveys 1991–95, and monthly data on deaths from the National Cause of Death Register. All multivariate models were adjusted to year of birth as a continuous variable, place of residence as a three category dummy variable (large city, small city, rural), and the sex of the child. AF were calculated by the formula AF= (the proportion exposed of the deceased)×((OR−1)/OR).
The average child population was 1 591 271. Thus, the study comprised approximately 7.6 million person years. The total number of deaths was 2413. Of these 1474 were attributable to injuries. Thus, the injury mortality was 19.3/100 000 person years. Some 10.6% of all injury deaths occurred at <10 years of age, 13.6% at 10–<15 years of age, 47.3% at 15–<20 years of age, and in the remaining 28.4% at 20–25 years of age. Some 71.9% of the diseased were males and 28.9% females. Traffic injuries, in motor traffic and other ways, was the most common cause of death (43%) followed by suicides (36%), see table 2.
Causes of injury death
Sex, year of birth, and population density in the residency areas were studied as background determinants, see table 3. All causes of injuries were more common among males. The difference between the sexes was most obvious for non-traffic accident injuries, males versus females, OR=3.9, and least apparent for homicides, OR=1.7. For most causes of injury death, there was a continuous gradient over the cohorts with the highest risk in the oldest cohort. This gradient was steepest for suicides and motor traffic deaths, OR=88.9 and 13.7, respectively. Motor traffic injury deaths and homicide deaths, however, were most common in the cohort born 1973–75, 14–22 years old at the time of their death. Injuries were slightly more common in rural areas, OR=1.2. The differences was mainly caused by an increased risk of motor traffic injuries for young people living in rural areas, OR=2.0.
Sex, year of birth, and population density
The importance of four groups of parental related social determinants, have been studied in two logistic regression models, table 4. The four groups were parental SES, maternal country of birth, family situation, and parental risk factors. In Model 1 the determinants were analysed separately and controlled for sex, year of birth, and residency. In Model 2 all determinants, and sex, year of birth, and residency, have been included.
Logistic regression models for parental determinants and all injury deaths. In Model 1 each variable is analysed separately and adjusted for sex, year of birth, and residency (urban/rural divided in six classes). Model 2 includes all variables, sex, year of birth, and residency (urban/rural divided in six classes)
A low parental SES resulted in an increased risk of injury death. The risk of injury in young people of parents with the lowest parental SES OR was 1.3 (Model 1). In Model 2, when all determinants have been included and controlled for sex, year of birth, and residency, the ORs for this group was slightly lower, 1.3. The combined AF for the increased risk conferred by a parent SES below the highest SES was 13.4% (Model 2). The risk of injury in young people born to mothers with an origin outside Sweden resulted both in increased and decreased risks, depending of the mother's country of birth. Western European origin resulted in an increased risk while southern European and non-European origin was protective. Overall, a non-Swedish origin did not result in an increased risk. Certain family situations increased the risk of an injury death. This was most apparent for families where the mother had died, OR=2.0, or single household, OR=1.5 (Model 2). Yet, the combined AF for all less usual family situations was only 5.8% (Model 2). Five parental risk factors were studied. Most affected the risk of injury in their children only slightly . Maternal imprisonment, however, had marked effects, OR=3.4 (Model 2). Yet, the total aetiological fractions for parental risk factors was only 1.3% (Model 2). The AF combined for all four groups of risk factors was 21.9% (Model 2).
In table 5, AF for the parental social determinants have been calculated separately for each of the main causes of injury death. The assessments are based on logistic models with all determinants included with control for sex, year of birth and residency, as in Model 2, table 4. Distinct variations appear between the main causes of death.
Aetiological fraction of parental determinants for the major causes of injury death according to Model 2
For suicides, the cumulated AF for all determinants was 0. The separate groups of parental determinants, however, affected the rate but in different directions. An aberrant family situation, increased the risk, AF=11.1%. Single parent households status contributed most, AF=5.7% (not shown in table 5). Yet, a high parental SES increased the risk of suicide. In order to estimate the magnitude of this effect, the cumulated AF was calculated with OR set = 1 for young people with parent SES = unclassified. The cumulated AF found was 12.9% (not shown in table 5).
The rate of motor traffic injuries was markedly affected by a low parental SES, AF=42.5% and by the family situation, AF=7.4%. For children of parents in the lowest SES (group 1) OR was 1.9 (CI 1.3 to 2.9) and AF=17.0% (data not shown). Similar patterns appeared for other traffic injuries and non-traffic accidental injuries and that both were affected by low parental SES, AF=36.4%, and AF=17.6%, respectively, and by the family situation.
The risk factors for homicides formed a specific pattern. All parental risk factors increased the risk and these risk factors combined explained more than half of all homicides, AF=58%. A low parental SES and the family situation explained most.
Social determinants that were directly related to the deceased individual were also studied. The AF for none of these determinants exceeded 2.9%, see table 6. The maximal AF that was found when each cause of death was analysed separately, was AF=6.0 for previous suicide attempts studied as a risk factor for suicides and AF=4.1 for sentence to jail as a risk factor for homicide (data not shown).
Determinants directly related to the deceased individual. All violent deaths
The importance of alcohol and drugs exposure at the time of death was finally studied for each of the major causes of injury, see table 7. Alcohol and drug related exposures were most common for non-traffic accidental injuries. Notation of use of alcohol was two to three times more common than use of drugs.
Notations in National Cause of Death Register of alcohol or drugs involved in cause of death
Parental related social determinants explained only 19.2% of all injury deaths in this study of mainly adolescents and young adults (86.4% aged 15–25). Yet, there was a wide variation between different causes of injury death. Fifty eight per cent of all homicide was explained by these social determinants and 46.7% of all motor traffic injuries. Yet, the suicide rate was not at all explained that way. Injury death is obviously a heterogeneous phenomenon. Thus, it is problematic to describe the social aetiology of injures with all causes aggregated.
Parental SES was the single most important parental determinant. It explained 42.5% of all motor traffic injures, 36.4% of all other traffic injuries, and 28.5% of all homicides. The social gradient for motor traffic injures is probably not related to a more intense use of cars in low SES group. A peak in Sweden of all motor traffic injury deaths at about 24 years in age 10 indicate that the use of cars is not restricted to high SES groups.
Parental SES is not an ideal assessment of the SES in this age group. During growth young people gradually become independent of their parents. This is reflected in a decreased connection by age between parental SES and mortality and morbidity.11 Thus, if SES was based on information that directly reflected the living conditions of the young persons themselves, a steeper social gradient might be found.
There was a wide variation of the aetiological fractions of parental social determinants for different causes of injury death.
There was no significant cumulated effect of parental determinants on the rate of suicides. A low parental SES diminished the risk, and an aberrant family situation increased the risk.
35%–43% of all traffic injury deaths might be explained by low parental SES.
Generally, a non-Swedish origin had little effect on the risk of injury death. A maternal origin in a country outside Europe was protective.
The remaining parental determinants seemed to have relatively little importance. They were most significant for the intentional injury deaths. Eleven per cent of all suicides and 18.4% of all homicides were explained by the family situation. The remaining two groups of variables, maternal country of birth and parental risk factors seemed to be unimportant both for intentional and unintentional injuries.
Individual exposures of the deceased explained only small parts of the injury risks. This finding may partly be explained by the method for assessment of some exposures. In this age group, few have been admitted to a hospital because of alcohol, drug, psychiatric problems, and suicide attempts. Yet, also assessments of alcohol and drug use at the time of death yielded low figures. Some 86.4% of all deceased in the study were >15 years of age. At this age most people, who ever consume alcohol or drugs, have already started their use.12 Thus, the limited contribution of drug alcohol use for violent injuries might not be explained by the low age of the population that was studied.
The results are affected by the quality of the information that was obtained from the registers and the quality of the socioeconomic indicators that were was used. Swedish law demands that all deaths, where a violent cause of death is obvious or suspected, are investigated by a forensic medical officer. Evaluations of Swedish cause of death statistics have not demonstrated any significant socioeconomic bias in classification of violent deaths, so there is little reason to believe that this kind of bias have affected the results of this study.13 The index of socioeconomic status applied in this study has been used extensively in studies of health and inequality14 and has been demonstrated to be quite effective in describing social position in the Swedish society of residents in the active labour force.15 The population in this study, however, is considerably younger than the population in the Swedish active labour force. Most of the deaths are in the transitional age of adolescence and young adulthood, where this index may be a much less satisfactory indicator of the social position of the person.
The interpretation of the AF implies that there is a causal relation between the determinant and the outcome. The choice of determinants was based on this assumption. Yet, the determinants did not fulfil all criteria for causality.16 That is often true for social exposures in general as experiments can seldom be performed. Yet, there are a good arguments for causal links between these exposures and the injury outcomes as social adversities might increase the risk of injuries both though psychological pathways (for example, stress) and though lack of material resources for protection.17 Thus, it seems justified to use calculations of AF for the determinants that were investigate.
When separate AF are added, the total sum might exceed 100%.9 This is obviously absurd. This problem might happen when different risk factors reflect the same underlying construct. The method for analysis was designed to counteract this problem.18 Thus, the AF were derived from logistic analyses where all determinants were analysed at the same time. Therefore, we think that the additions of AF will not overestimate the importance of social factors for injury deaths.
The main strength of the study is the large study population and the high quality 19 and large variety of Swedish National registers. This made it possible for us to use a multivariate approach where a number of different determinants could be entered into the same model of analysis.
In a previous Swedish study of social determinants for injury deaths in children, Östberg found an OR=2.74 when she compared the injury death rates in children from families with occupation of the head of the household stated "unclassified" with the rates in children from families with "upper non-manual" occupations.4 That is markedly higher than the OR=1.3 that was found in a similar analysis in this study. We think that the main cause of the disagreement is a variation in age groups between the studies. Östberg studied 0–12 year old children while this study included individuals 5–25 years of age. The injury deaths in this study are dominated by individuals in their late teens or early 20s. Suicide is the leading cause of injury death in this age group while deaths in 0–12 year old is dominated by traffic injury deaths. Thus, the variation in social gradients between the two studies might be explained.
The social gradient of injury deaths in this study was markedly less steeply than a British study conducted by Roberts.3 Roberts found, for all injury deaths in 0–15 year olds, OR=4.61, when social class V children were compared with social class I children. Part of the variance might be explained by differences in age groups, as discussed above. Yet, there is probably also a true difference of gradients between Britain and Sweden.
This study indicates that the variation in social gradients for different groups of injuries might be used to investigate social aetiology of injuries. One example might be given. There are two competing views on major mechanism that mediate the effects of social disadvantage on health outcomes.20 One view emphasises psychological mediators, for example, stress and drug use, and the other view underlines material conditions. If psychological mechanism was important, then social disadvantage might be expected to affect all kinds of injuries, including suicides and traffic injuries. Yet, such effects were only found for traffic injuries. Thus, it might be argued that it is less likely that the effect of social disadvantage on traffic injuries is mediated by psychological mechanism. Thus, the results from this study might contribute to formulations of hypotheses that can be tested in further studies.

Childbirth is the most life-changing experience and a woman's life is known to make an all new beginning once she becomes a mother. Now, is it not surprising that any major change in one's life starts with a decision? A decision that you have made to go in a certain way. Sometimes they can be voluntarily made and other times, they are made because one does not have a choice. However, most decisions are definitely made keeping the best interests in mind. For a mother, going for a caesarean section is one such decision! Women sometimes opt for a caesarean out of choice since they do not want to go through the natural pain of vaginal birth. However, in cases like breech, for example, a would-be mother is left with caesarean as the only choice of delivery.
Take it with a pinch of salt if you want, but a caesarean has 30% more risks involved when compared to a normal delivery.Also, it involves more medical attention, constant monitoring, pills and fluids. Strangely though, it is disturbing to note that an increasing number of women are opting to go under the knife these days. This should definitely not be encouraged by well-meaning medical practitioners. Natural birth is an undebatable choice when it comes to the safest method of bringing your bundle of joy into this world. So, the key to understanding and making the right choice is by educating yourself about a caesarean and its after-effects. For starters, there isn't much that is commonly discussed, so it is best to outline few facts about it for our own benefit.
So, the key to understanding and making the right choice is by educating yourself about a caesarean and its after-effects. For starters, there isn't much that is commonly discussed, so it is best to outline few facts about it for our own benefit. Here, we have lined up five facts about a caesarean that you may not know.
After undergoing a caesarean, a new mom will take at least eight weeks to heal completely. This means you become more dependent on your partner, family, and friends a lot more than you did before. On the other hand, normal deliveries ensure that mommies can be on their toes within hours after delivering the child.
Mommies who have had a c-section face an uphill task when it comes to experiencing the first trickle of lactation. Procedures like "suction" need to be adopted to try and express milk initially. Quoting by personal experience, it is a painful yet workable solution. Normal delivery doesn't come with this issue.
The sutured area will hurt you when you try to sit up for the first few days. In some cases, there might be a possibility of a pus discharge even after 1.5 months after delivery and your medical practitioner should be consulted for an antiseptic cream to be applied to the affected area. Since it would have disturbed a lot of nerves in that area, it results in itching. Additionally, the itching stays on for a long time and in few people, can remain for over 3.5 years. This again depends on an individual's immunity levels - the better the immunity, the faster the healing.
This is quite common among new caesarean mommies. Initially, it will burn while peeing as well. Your gynaecologist will be constantly concerned about whether flatulence has occurred or not. Yep! It is only when you pass the wind that the body gets into its normal routine.
This is true for even normal delivery cases, however, caesarean spells extra caution against any heavy duty work like lifting heavy objects or bending, twisting or any fooling around as such. You need to be extra careful.
Whether caesarean or normal, family support plays a major role in helping a mother recover early on, both physically and emotionally, to get back to their normal routines. Caesareans do require a little more of it though and that is undeniable. Mommies, irrespective what choices you make to deliver your baby, remember to stay healthy and happy at all times. Happy motherhood!

Jupiter Park resort
This villa, standing in the shade of 40-year-old Mediterranean pine trees, offers you a comfortable and exclusive living space of close to 200 m2. Its location on a slight slope in the direction of a national park ensures spectacular views from every room. This is helped by the wonderful panoramic windows, which allow the environment to enter this amazing villa from the south-west. The pine trees next to the building provide shade on the terraces and seem to reach almost into the villa with its green branches.
The building has been projected in the shape of the letter 'Z', which provides clear links to the 'cortijos' in traditional Andalusian architecture. However, the extensive glazing gives it a modern character. The traditional high-quality materials that are used such as stone, travertine and traditional ceramic roof tiles give a feeling of timelessness.
Entre Pinos
Parcel area
Floor space
Energy standard
The floor space of the villa has been divided over two levels. The upper level, reachable directly from the garden, has an open space consisting of a relaxation area, a dining room, and a kitchen. The interior design is in line with the 'Living In & Out' concept that creates a unique harmony with the surroundings. An interesting addition to the house is the room/office on the west side as it has its own panoramic terrace and part of the garden. The glazing in the living room and dining room opens the interior of the villa on all sides to the adjacent terraces and garden, as well as the views in the distance. The connection between the living room and the terrace is natural so that you can get to the swimming pool situated in the garden. That way the villa becomes part of the garden and the Sierra Nevada National Park that surrounds it.
The lower level of the villa consists of three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Every bedroom has a view of the lower garden and the adjacent terrain of the national park. The individual terraces give a further impression of comfort as they allow the inhabitants direct access to the swimming pool in the upper garden. The master bedroom has a private bathroom and a walk-in closet.
Additional facilities of the villa are the two common bathrooms, the walk-in closet, the loft, a garage built into the building and a traditional Andalusian garden with a private swimming pool.
The garden around the villa will be dominated by local, Mediterranean plants. A composition of lemon trees and orange trees in combination with cypresses, 40-year-old Mediterranean pine trees and olive trees should remind you of the gardens of the Alhambra and the parks of Granada.

You should use a moisturizing eye cream each night in order to keep the delicate skin near your eyes from drying out. By keeping the skin around your eyes well moisturized, you will protect it from developing dark circles, wrinkles, and formation of wrinkles.
The foundation that is underneath the makeup cap of your bottle makes a concealer. If you no longer have concealer but need some, just use the thick makeup inside the cap on your makeup container. This will act as a concealer to cover any blemishes.
The toilet paper provides the best oil absorption. Just grab a square should be enough to remove the excess oil from your face.
Use eyedrops so your eyes are shiny and bright. Keep a bottle of eye drops with you need to moisturize your purse and use them as directed.
Visine should always be in the beauty kit. This can really make your appearance look aged. You can clear things up this problem with a few drops of Visine.

Thistle October Player of the Month Opens - Vote Now!
October was a crucial month for Alan Archibald's side, with four Ladbrokes Premiership games against teams close to Thistle in the league. After a disappointing defeat at the hands of Kilmarnock, the Jags squad dug deep to grind out a dramatic, last gasp, 2-1 victory against Dundee. The side followed it up with a tough, battling draw at Hamilton before getting back to basics to triumph against St Johnstone. It's time to have your say on who the Jags' best performer has been as the vote for the McCrea Financial Services October Player of the Month award opens.
Here are your nominees and voting options:
Tomas Cerny
The Czech goalkeeper was sidelined earlier this campaign but was back to his stunning best for the month of October. A vital penalty save was followed by an outstanding one handed save to provide the platform for the Jags to go on and snatch all three points at the death against Dundee. Signing off with consecutive clean sheets for the first time since February, Tomas will be looking to continue his fine form into the winter months.
Vote for Tomas on Twitter
Vote for Tomas at ptfc.co.uk
Steven Lawless
During his five years at the club Steven has played in a number of different roles for the Jags but left wing back is a new one on him. With Alan Archibald faced with a devastating injury list in his defensive zones, he has turned to Steven and been rewarded with several performances high in quality. His hard working shifts have allowed Steven to adapt to playing in his new role as he looks to help the side in any way that he can.
Vote for Steven on Twitter
Vote for Steven at ptfc.co.uk
Paul McGInn
It's a second successive nomination for the deadline day signing, underlining the importance he has had in the team since arriving from Chesterfield. His Jags career may still be in its infancy but Paul has already moved from the right hand side to the left and back again as he gets acquainted to his new team-mates. Always offering an attacking outlet, regardless of how the Jags set up defensively, Paul has not shied away from having efforts on goal from the edge of the box, setting up the Jags equaliser against Dundee when his shot was too hot to handle for Scott Bain.
Vote for Paul on Twitter
Vote for Paul at ptfc.co.uk
Miles Storey
Miles was brought to the club to provide pace, power and goals and he has certainly delivered in October. His first Jags strike came in dramatic circumstances with his powerful 91st minute effort giving Thistle their first Ladbrokes Premiership victory of the season. His second, another match winner this time against St Johnstone, demonstrated his pace and composure to make an opportunity for himself before finishing it. Miles will be looking to continue his fine run of form headed into November.

Thailand Allows Growing Your Own Weed At Home
By International Highlife January 26, 2022
Yesterday, Thailand's narcotics board said it would remove cannabis from its drugs list, paving the way for people to grow the plant at home.
Thailand became the first Southeast Asian country to legalize weed in 2018 for medical use and research.
Under the new rule, people can grow cannabis plants at home after notifying their local government. Still, cannabis cannot be used for commercial purposes without further licenses, Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul told reporters.
The rule must be published in the official Royal Gazette, and 120 days must pass before home cannabis plants will become legal.
Meanwhile, the health ministry will this week present to parliament a separate draft bill that provides details on the legal use of cannabis, including its production and commercial use, including guidelines on recreational use.
Homegrown cannabis should be used for medical purposes like traditional medicine, food, and drug regulator chief Paisal Dankhum has said that there would be random inspections.
The draft bill punishes the growth of cannabis without notifying the government with a fine of up to 20,000 baht ($605.33) and prescribes a fine of up to 300,000 baht or three years in jail if someone sells weed without a license.
The move is the latest step in Thailand's plan to promote cannabis as a cash crop. According to the World Bank, about a third of its labor force works in agriculture.

First responders can begin receiving their shots at the stadium on Monday; Gov. Charlie Baker hopes to build up distribution to 5,000 shots per day
Erin Tiernan
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Gillette Stadium will become the state's first mass injection site when it opens on Thursday, laying out a game plan to massively scale-up a coronavirus vaccine rollout that has so far been "bumpy" and slow as cases continue to surge.
"This is a huge step forward in our fight and we are progressing through our vaccine plan as we hoped we would," Gov. Charlie Baker said Tuesday during a press conference at the Worcester Senior Center, which this week transformed into a vaccination site for first responders.
The home of the New England Patriots will start out administering 300 vaccines per day and will build up to 5,000 per day "and potentially much bigger numbers than that over time," Baker said.
Eligible people — based on the state's three-phased vaccine distribution priority plan — can sign up to get their shots online at mass.gov/covidvaccine or at cichealth.com/vaccines.
CIC Health will operate the Gillette site with Brigham and Women's Hospital and Fallon Ambulance Service support.
Staff running the Gillette injection site are first in line for shots this week, followed by first responders on Monday.
The state's 45,000 police, firefighters and EMS personnel began getting their shots en masse this week as the state set up 119 vaccination sites.
Baker said there has been an "overwhelmingly positive response" so far from police, firefighters and the like trying to get vaccinated.
"The challenge, we hope, will be keeping up with the demand," Baker said.
Ultimately, the site's success will depend on its supply of vaccines. Baker said the state's three-phase vaccination plan, which "focuses on those populations that are most at risk of COVID-19" is on track. Vaccines are expected to become available to the general public sometime in April.
Describing a "bumpy" rollout of the vaccine distribution plan that is now nearly a month old, Baker said the state has administered 209,722 of the 470,100 doses of COVID-19 vaccine received.
The mass injection sites will play a key roll as the state ramps up distribution once the supply chain catches up with demand. So far, the state has made it the third priority group under Phase 1 of the state's three-phase plan. Inmates and people living in homeless shelters and other congregate-care facilities are up next and expected to start getting their shots "in the coming days," Baker said.
The Gillette injection site is the first of three anticipated mass vaccination sites that will eventually open up around the state, according to the Baker administration. Fenway Park and the Eastern States Exposition fairgrounds in West Springfield have also been pitched as potential vaccination sites.
But Baker said the state isn't in any rush to plow ahead with opening up mass vaccination sites until they know they'll have the doses to distribute.
"The last thing we want to do is open up a whole bunch of sites and have a whole bunch of people there and not have vaccine available to actually serve people," Baker said.

The future of the Affordable Care Act in the Supreme Court's hands
Among the many uncertainties that follow the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday comes the future of the Affordable Care Act, which the Supreme Court is set to revisit later this fall. Ginsburg was expected to a be a voice in upholding the act.
The case argues that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional because of a 2017 change that got rid of penalties for people who didn't sign up for health insurance. The idea here is that if one piece of the ACA is invalid, the whole law is invalid.
Janai Nelson, associate director counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, said that without Ginsburg's vote and powerful dissent, the future of the ACA is unclear.
"It's still possible in theory that the justices uphold this provision of the Affordable Care Act. But Justice Ginsburg was instrumental in shaping the court's views around the Affordable Care Act," Nelson said.
Nelson said the ACA has been critical in providing health care to marginalized communities. More than 20 million Americans have relied on the Affordable Care Act to gain health insurance.

Pizza Day is a BIG deal at our school for the kids – they all look forward to it and have a great time! I love pizza too, but I have to admit, I miss making lunch on pizza day! I do have to send sides in to supplement the pizza and it's taking some time for me to get a good theme going without a main dish.
I pack Pizza Day Sides in the bottom compartment of our Bentgo Box. Originally I bought the box when it was an Amazon Deal of the Day, intending to use it for Mr. BentoNinja, but the large, open compartment turned out to be the perfect size for a sides/snack box for the kid once I added silicone cups to break up the space.
By the time our next pizza day rolled around, I had a more thought out theme aside from "make it cute"! Post coming soon.

Walt Disney World reopens in Florida despite daily surge
July 12, 2020 , 16:00
Florida, United States – Despite the Covid-19 surge, Walt Disney World Resort is set to reopen in Florida.
The resort was first closed in March during the early months of America's outbreak. Although infections were largely spreading in New York and California at first, Florida is now among the several states recording a rise in cases in the past weeks.
Despite the daily surge, the Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom of the resort was reopened on July 11 and the Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios are expected to reopen on July 15th.
Disney has taken preventive measures such as visitors having to wear masks, limiting the number of tickets being sold, checking temperature, cancelling firework shows and parades to prevent mass gatherings and hand sanitizers were also available widely to prevent the virus from spreading.
Over a quarter of a million cases of Covid-19 have been confirmed in Florida with 4,197 deaths.
Among these confirmed cases, the country where the resort is based, Orange County has reported 16,630 cases, which is the among the highest number of cases in Florida.
For this reason, many cities and counties of Florida have reinstated restriction that were lifted in May, when the number of confirmed cases began to decrease.
Despite the outbreak, hundreds of people have made their way to Disney flagship resort on Saturday.
Disney's theme park chairman, Josh D'Amaro, said in an interview with the New York Times that while the world is changing around us, they believe that they can open the resort safely and responsibly.
"Covid is here, and we have a responsibility to figure out the best approach to safely operate in this new normal"
Covid-19: New state daily case record of 15,299 set by Florida.
41 resorts to be operational when boarders reopen
Over 10 million confirmed cases worldwide

Six sigma training experience exceeded my expectations. The course was easy to understand, and the Material was written for a novice, with practice example from our office. I had some problems with MiniTab, however, the help I received from our Master Black Belts was great and helped me a lot. This has been a great and valuable experience that helped me understand all topics related with this methodology. He showed lot of tools, templates and information that you will definitely use lots.
