Cooking shouldn't kill. But 3 billion people cook on open fires and dirty cookstoves that use charcoal, wood or animal dung, exposing them to toxic smoke. Cleverly designed cleaner cookstoves improve people's health by emitting less smoke. By using less fuel, they ease the burden of the women and girls who gather wood, also helping protect forests and cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Open fires are smoky and inefficient: the wood does not burn completely, and much of the heat produced does not reach the food. A simple stove cuts heat losses by burning the wood in an enclosed chamber and directing the hot combustion gases to the cooking pots, and sometimes uses a chimney to take smoke away from the cook. However, many stoves still burn fuel inefficiently and produce smoke, and much of the heat is lost because of poor insulation.
Combustion or burning of wood is an exothermic (heat-releasing) chemical reaction between organic compounds in the wood and oxygen in the air. As the wood heats up it releases a mixture of volatile vapours and gases, leaving behind a solid, carbon-rich char. For efficient burning, enough air must continue to reach both the gas, which contain about three quarters of the energy content of the wood, and the char.
Smoke is mostly the result of incomplete combustion. It contains unburned gases including carbon monoxide, methane, aldehydes and organic acids, many of which are harmful. It also contains small particles or 'particulates' of both organic material (soot) and inorganic material (ash).
Many people in developing countries, particularly in towns and cities, cook on charcoal rather than wood. Charcoal weighs less for a given heat output, so is easier to transport and store and it burns with a very hot flame. Cooking with charcoal increases the overall use of wood, because charcoal production usually wastes more than two thirds of the energy in the wood.
Advanced stoves, called semi-gasifiers, separate the combustion of solid fuel and gases, each with its own air supply. The latest designs control air flow with a small fan, which can improve efficiency. Their main benefit is to significantly reduce smoke production: there is growing international concern about the health impacts of cooking smoke.
An improved stove needs to be technically well-designed, affordable and durable. But above all the cook has to like it and want to use it. Neither the cook nor the environment benefit if the supposedly 'improved' stove is not used, and there have been many examples of failed stove programmes. Successful NGO and business-led programmes to develop and introduce improved stoves work closely with potential users to find out what they really want.
Women in Honduras usually cook standing up indoors, using a fire or simple block stove on a raised platform. Ashden Award winners AHDESA and TWP worked with women in Tegucigalpa to develop the Justa stove. This is built on a raised platform in the kitchen, using bricks. It has a steel hotplate at waist height where tortillas can be cooked and pots can simmer at the same time. The combustion chamber uses the 'Rocket' design, in which the wood is placed on a grate in a horizontal chamber.
A short internal chimney over the burning ends of the wood gives space for hot gases to mix with air and burn well, making them rise, and draw in air from under the grate. Accurate internal dimensions lead to rapid, uniform flow of the gases through the narrow gap under the hotplate, and thus effective heat transfer to the food. Insulation around the bricks cuts heat losses. A chimney takes smoke out of the kitchen, and helps to maintain the air flow through the stove.
Similar stoves have been developed in other countries, each designed around local cooking preferences and materials. The REC stove in Eritrea uses mud bricks made on site in specially designed moulds. Grameen Shakti in Bangladesh has developed a 'chula' style design for women who sit down while cooking. It is constructed in the home from mud, and includes a chimney to take smoke out of the home. Over 800,000 have been installed.
In urban areas of Cambodia, most people cook on charcoal using small 'Lao' stoves, which burn charcoal on a grate fixed in a fired clay liner that sits in a metal bucket. Air for combustion comes through an opening near the base of the stove, and pot-rests allow a single cooking pot to sit on top. The stoves are made by local artisans and are very cheap but rarely last for more than a year. Similar stoves are widely used in other countries of South-East Asia and in many other parts of the world, including East Africa ('jiko' stoves) and West Africa.
The NGO GERES worked with stove users and artisans to improve the traditional Lao stove by increasing its efficiency and durability, while still using similar manufacturing techniques. The 'New Lao' stove uses slightly different dimensions to improve air flow; extra holes across the grate to give more uniform combustion; and tapered pot rests to provide a uniform narrow gap around the base of different sized pots, giving good heat transfer. Heat loss is reduced by tightly packing the gap between the liner and the bucket with insulating rice husk. This also reduces wear and increases the stove life to two or three years.
The above examples show that it is possible to increase local production of improved stoves by skilled artisans to reach hundreds of thousands, or even a few million, people. But factory-scale production will be needed to go from millions to billions. Factory production can also give more precise control of dimensions to improve efficiency and reduce emissions, producing a more durable product.
Inevitably, mass production limits the opportunity to adapt designs to meet the specific needs of local users, but several approaches are showing the potential for reaching scale. Greenway Grameen worked closely with users to design an all-metal Rocket type stove with strong consumer appeal, selling nearly 200,000 in India during its first two years of operation. EcoZoom is targeting the global market with a range of stoves, based on the 'Stovetec' Rocket stove developed by the Aprovecho Research Centre with the Shengzhou Stove Manufacturer.
A number of stoves have been developed to use agricultural residues (like nut shells, straw or sawdust) as a fuel, and thus avoid the use of wood. Most use residues compressed into denser blocks or briquettes, like the large institutional stoves developed by Nishant Bioenergy in India.
What are the benefits of using improved stoves?
Improved stoves bring a range of benefits. For many users, the main benefit is a cleaner, safer cooking environment, with less smoke to inhale, irritate the eyes, dirty clothes and household goods with less risk of burns. The hidden effects of smoke are more serious than the obvious ones; according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), about 4.3 million people die prematurely each year from the effects of indoor air pollution, much of which comes from cooking smoke.
Many improved stoves, while bringing other benefits, don't reduce smoke to the level that is currently thought to remove risk. Reducing this burden on health was the major reason for establishing the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves.
The Global Alliance on Clean Cookstoves was launched in September 2010 with the aim of helping 100 million homes to adopt new clean stoves by 2020. It does this by investing in a range of support measures including improved R&D and standards, campaigning to create real commercial markets for stoves, and integrating stoves into other development programmes.
One aspect of GACC work is to standardise the testing of key aspects of stove performance (emissions, efficiency and safety) and to rank each stove into one of five tiers of performance for each aspect.
Many improved stoves reduce the time needed for cooking. And where fuelwood is collected, a task usually carried out by women or children, a more efficient stove reduces the time, burden and sometimes danger involved. Alternatively, where wood or charcoal are purchased, the household saves money.
Using wood for cooking contributes to deforestation, unless the wood is produced sustainably (i.e. allowed to re-grow at the same rate that it is harvested). This is a problem in many places, in particular around cities and towns, where the concentrated demand for wood puts pressure on the surrounding land. By reducing wood use, an improved stove can help reduce deforestation. A further benefit is that small branches from fast growing shrubs can often be used, reducing the need to cut down mature trees and making it easier to collect wood.
Organic molecules and particles in smoke contribute to climate warming. Unsustainable wood use contributes further, by adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. With careful design, an improved stove can also reduce all these emissions, typically by the equivalent of one or two tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.
I recently bought a third stove, as I like them so much. I cook two meals a day and sometimes a snack in the evening. The stoves are very, very fast and clean. The pots do not get dirty, the ash is contained.
How much do improved stoves cost?
These costs can be difficult for low-income users to meet. Some programmes operate subsidy schemes to help people pay for improved stoves, and others (like Grameen Shakti) provide loans. Carbon-offset finance has boosted some stove programmes, although it is currently challenging to sell carbon credits.
There is no accurate record of how many improved stoves are in use. Results reported to GACC suggest that at least 17.5 million improved stoves have been distributed since 2006, including 8.2 million in 2012, the most recent reported year. How many are actually in use is less clear: some don't get reported to GACC, and of those that are reported, some will have reached the end of their useful life.
Whatever the exact number, it's still only a small step towards meeting the needs of three billion people (around 500 million households) who currently lack access to clean cooking.
The OECD/World Energy Agency 'Energy Outlook' for 2010 suggested that the Millennium Development Goal of eradicating extreme poverty by 2015 cannot be met unless people have access to clean cooking systems (including improved wood stoves, biogas plants and LPG stoves).
Since then, a growing body of evidence has emerged from the WHO and others on the serious health impacts of cooking on open fires and simple stoves, with calls for higher performance stoves to be developed and made available urgently.
It will be a huge challenge to match these global goals with local needs – but the potential benefits are also huge.

Representing Clients Throughout the State of Maryland
College homecoming king killed in car crash
On behalf of Cohen, Snyder, Eisenberg & Katzenberg, P.A. posted in Car Accidents on Friday, October 28, 2011.
It is always tragic when a young person dies in a motor vehicle accident. On Oct. 20, a 23-year-old Morgan State University senior with a promising future died in a car accident at approximately 10:30 p.m. The crash took place in the Fells Point neighborhood in Baltimore, and resulted in the death of an 18-year-old front seat passenger in another vehicle.
The student was homecoming king at the university, and he was scheduled to graduate soon with a degree in telecommunications. He had already been hired to work at the Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) after graduation. He had previously interned there, spearheading the agency's social media projects, including projects on Facebook and Twitter. An MTA spokesman stated that he had helped create the MTA's slogan, "Ride, Respect, Relax," and that he had also worked on aspects of the agency's public safety campaign.
The student was driving a Dodge Durango and traveling north when his vehicle and a Mitsubishi Eclipse crashed into each other. Police investigators speculated that one of the vehicles may have been speeding and are looking into the possibility that one of them continued into the intersection despite a red light. Officers were reported to be planning to conduct interviews with a number of persons believed to have witnessed the accident.
Police also reported that the driver of the Mitsubishi and a passenger in the Dodge were injured, but these injuries were described as minor.
According to a story in the Baltimore Sun, students at Morgan State University were in mourning for the popular senior, and grief counselors were available to help students cope with the tragedy.

First storey in Nigeria records 7,433 visitors in 6 months
First Storey Building in Nigeria
By Oladele Eniola
The first storey in Nigeria located in Badagry, Lagos State, recorded 7,433 visitors from January 2017 to July 2017.
Mr Hodonu Daniel, the officer in charge of the building , told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Badagry that the tourists that visited the 171-year-old structure in the first half of 2017 were higher this than those that did within the same period in 2016.
The foundation of the building was laid in 1842 and was completed in 1845.
"We have been able to attract more tourists to this site because of its proper maintenance and our ability to preserve its originality.
"In the first six months of 2016; 3,767 people visited the monument compared to 7,433 visitors and tourists that visited in the first six months of this year.
"We are certain that the statistics will increase in the other half of the year due to the historic nature of the site and the willingness of people to always visit,'' he said.
He advised Nigerians to be more patriotic by visiting the various monuments in the country.
"Nigerians should imbibe the habit of visiting the various museums and monuments in the country in order to boost tourism development in the country.
"Many Nigerians prefer to visit foreign countries' monuments but forgetting that one of the ways to improve tourism in the country is by patronising our monuments,'' he said.
Daniel advised the Federal Government to support the management in giving the building a facelift.

Plastics industry recovering slowly
by Mark Wynne
PlasticsEurope/BPF
THE global plastics industry is recovering from the economic crisis, albeit slowly, according to the latest data.
Despite 50 years of continuous growth in the industry, the financial crisis led to a drop in global plastics production, says the data released from PlasticsEurope.
However, since then, figures presented at PlasticEurope's press luncheon 'Facts and Figures UK' show there has been some positive development with an annual growth rate of about 8.7% on a worldwide scale.
"Despite global slow recovery, the plastics industry is optimistic that Europe remains a core centre of its activities," said Kim Christiansen, Regional Director North of PlasticsEurope.
The figures show the demand for plastics materials in the UK was 3.7 million tonnes, an increase of 1.2%. Of this 3.7 million tonnes, 44.3% was packaging, while building and construction had a 19.2% share.
On the other hand, in Europe, demand for materials dropped by 3.2% but packaging kept the largest share of production, with 40.2%.
The next set of data regarding waste management in 2012 will be presented at K-Fair in October 2013.

If you own international investments, it may be tempting to shift assets into or out of a region or nation based on the most recent headlines. But doing so could cause you to buy at high prices or sell at market lows, turning paper losses into permanent ones.
With separatists in Catalonia pushing for independence, Spain's democratic government is facing a constitutional crisis. Meanwhile, little progress has been made in negotiations on the terms of the United Kingdom's pending exit from the European Union.
Geopolitical tensions can affect economies and move financial markets. Here's a closer look at these two political standoffs taking center stage in Europe, either of which could influence national growth prospects as well as some international investments.
The potential for more severe economic damage for Spain may depend on how punitive measures are carried out and the degree of resistance by Catalan leaders and citizens.
Many investors include international investments in their portfolios to help increase their overall level of diversification. Some international investments cast a wide net that strives to capture worldwide economic activity, whereas others focus on a specific region or a single country.
If you own international investments, be prepared to hold tight during bouts of market volatility. It may be tempting to shift assets into or out of a region or nation based on the most recent headlines, but doing so could cause you to buy at high prices or sell at market lows, turning paper losses into permanent ones. You might review your portfolio periodically to help ensure that your asset allocation stays aligned with your risk tolerance and investment strategy over the long term.
Asset allocation and diversification are methods used to help manage investment risk; they do not guarantee a profit or protect against loss. All investments are subject to market fluctuation, risk, and loss of principal. When sold, investments may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investing in foreign securities carries additional risks, such as differences in financial reporting, currency exchange risk, as well as economic and political risk unique to the specific country, that may result in greater share price volatility. These risks should be carefully managed in light of your goals and risk tolerance.

Transport Times Events | News/Blog | Rail passenger satisfaction – how is your train company doing?
Rail passenger satisfaction – how is your train company doing?
In the latest results from our National Rail Passenger Survey published this morning, overall satisfaction with passengers last journeys fell to 79 per cent, its lowest level since 2008.
We asked nearly 27,000 passengers about their latest journey during a ten-week period last Autumn. With worsening punctuality, the timetable chaos last summer, and a series of lamentable strikes, it can be no surprise to the rail industry - or ministers - that one in five passengers (21 per cent) told Transport Focus they were not satisfied. Irritation at delayed and cancelled trains is eroding passengers' most basic trust in the industry, anger during the summer timetable crisis was palpable, and frustration at continual fare increases saps confidence in the system to reform itself.
Governments and passengers are investing huge sums in the railways with more to come in the next few years. This will start to catch up on historic under-investment. New, longer trains are starting to appear across the rail network and many major stations have been massively improved. Timetables have been changed to offer more choices of trains and destinations However, making these improvements happen is proving painful. Until the basic underlying reliability of rail travel gets better then the passenger satisfaction inexorably linked to it will continue to languish.
Comparing overall satisfaction in autumn 2018 with the same measure a year earlier, just two (out of 25) train companies have significantly improved – Heathrow Express and Chiltern Railways. By contrast, seven operators have earned a significantly poorer rating - Great Northern, Northern, TransPennine Express, Greater Anglia, Thameslink, ScotRail and London North Eastern Railway - and a wide gap of 27 percentage points exists between the train companies with the highest and lowest overall satisfaction rating.
When it comes to punctuality, the percentage of journeys rated as satisfactory overall across the country was 71 per cent, down from 74 per cent in Autumn 2017 and substantially lower than the 81 per cent recorded in autumn 2008.
Little wonder that less than half (46 per cent) of passengers rated their journey satisfactory in terms of value for money for the price of their ticket in autumn 2018, a figure unchanged compared to a decade ago in autumn 2008. Among commuters, just 31 per cent of those surveyed shared that sentiment, so nearly seven out of ten were not satisfied, a figure that is also lower than it was in 2008 when it stood at 33 per cent.
Looking at how train operators dealt with delays, satisfaction averaged only 37 per cent this time around, but ranged between 29 per cent (Southern and Thameslink) and 77 per cent (Grand Central).
Long distance operators fare somewhat better: 83 per cent of passenger journeys were rated as very or fairly satisfactory overall in autumn 2018. While this is better than the national average it is still a significant fall from 86 per cent in autumn 2017 (and below the 84 per cent rating earned in autumn 2008). Punctuality/reliability fell markedly on long distance services (down 7 per cent on autumn 2017) though reliability of internet connection rose 5 per cent this year – something we made plain was an easy win for many operators based on what passengers were telling us a year or two ago.
On regional operators overall passenger satisfaction matched the national figure of 79 per cent in autumn 2018 - a significantly lower rating than the 86 per cent recorded ten years before. Punctuality remains the biggest driver of satisfaction on regional services – at its lowest level for 15 years (autumn 2003) - reasons for overall decline show up where the survey asks passengers about the usefulness of information relating to delays (down 13 per cent) or how well train operators dealt with delays (down 11 per cent).
Passengers in some parts of the country are more unhappy than others: In London and the South East, overall satisfaction now sits at 78 per cent, below the national average and significantly down from 80 per cent in autumn 2017, and 82 per cent in autumn 2008.
In Scotland overall passenger satisfaction with ScotRail services also fell in autumn 2018 to 79 per cent, a 15-year low. While recent announcements about extra compensation for disruption are welcome, ScotRail and Network Rail will only win back passenger trust if they keep their basic promises (to deliver more trains, additional capacity, better punctuality and shorter journey times) while also providing better information during any disruption.
In Wales, results gathered during the closing months of the Arriva Trains Wales franchise reflect passengers' severe disappointment with outdated rolling stock. Passenger satisfaction with the upkeep and repair of trains fell to 61 per cent (compared to 69 per cent in autumn 2017) and satisfaction with the cleanliness of train interiors dropped to 68 per cent (from 74 per cent in autumn 2017). Against the backdrop of continued fare rises, these results highlight why the new operator Transport for Wales is rightly focused on efforts to improve rolling stock and other aspects of the passenger experience.
In summary, government and the industry must pay close attention to what passengers are saying and focus in the short term on driving up performance, so that a better value for money and more reliable railway arrives soon for passengers.
In the longer term the Rail Review must drive fundamental change, but on that topic you must wait a few more days until Transport Focus publishes its first submission to the William Rail Review next Monday 4 February.

Q: Python Minimal Modbus CRC byte order I'm  looking to use Minimal Modbus to connect to my Solar Invertor (GivEnergy) via an RS485-USB adaptor. Unfortunately the implementation of the Modbus Protocol has reversed the CRC bytes, so Minimal Modbus fails on the CRC check.
Is there a way of reversing the CRC bytes in the call, perhaps with an option flag, or can I manually build the CRC and inject my own?

A: You don't need to inject your own CRC, that would be more difficult than in fact is to solve your problem (you are free to do it if you want of course).
Just change this line in your minimalmodbus.py:
return _num_to_twobyte_string(register, lsb_first=True)

to:
return _num_to_twobyte_string(register, lsb_first=False)

You can find the location of the file running this command: python -m site and looking for the site-packages folder.
On most Linux distros with Python 3.x the folder is:
'/home/your_user_name/.local/lib/python3.x/site-packages'
If you are asking why should you be messing with the code, you are not alone. While I was musing that very same question myself (after writing this answer I swear) I found this issue.
I guess the short answer is: you should be complaining to the developers of your device.
For completeness: if you don't want to edit minimalmodbus.py as the answer to the issue recommends you should just overload the whole _calculate_crc_string(inputstring) function changing the last line as I wrote above.
For total completeness, I'm adding the code on the link above here. To overload the function just write all its code again in your Python script right after you import minimalmodbus:
import minimalmodbus

def _calculate_crc_string(inputstring):
    """Calculate CRC-16 for Modbus.

    Args:
        inputstring (str): An arbitrary-length message (without the CRC).

    Returns:
        A two-byte CRC string, where the least significant byte is first.

    """
    minimalmodbus._check_string(inputstring, description="input CRC string")

    # Preload a 16-bit register with ones
    register = 0xFFFF

    for char in inputstring:
        register = (register >> 8) ^ minimalmodbus._CRC16TABLE[(register ^ ord(char)) & 0xFF]

    return minimalmodbus._num_to_twobyte_string(register, lsb_first=False)

minimalmodbus._calculate_crc_string = _calculate_crc_string

Note the last line outside of the function to overload the _calculate_crc_string. After that, you can add the rest of your code.

Harris Beber is chief marketing officer at Vimeo, the ad-free video site that's become a grand repository for portfolio reels and ad campaigns. Vimeo recently released its own ads, its first big marketing campaign, touting itself as a platform that can help with plenty of problems—as long as they deal with video.
In this episode of the "Ad Block" podcast, Beber talks about the benefits of getting up before dawn and tackling physical tasks that feel impossible. "When I push myself or challenge myself to do something I shouldn't be able to do, that's when I'm at my best," he says. "There's a mental block that I think most people don't get past."
He rises each morning around 5 a.m. to work before anyone else is awake. Though he's perpetually sleep deprived, it gives him more time to spend with his family late at night or to work out on his own schedule. Since he doesn't have two hours to go to spin class, he rides his stationary bike at home. "Whether it's 10:33 at night or 5:01 a.m., I can do a 30-minute spin. No matter how else the rest of the day goes, I feel like I did something."

Counting Crows and Rob Thomas Team Up For Summer Tour
Two of music's most captivating live performers will unite for their first time touring together this summer. Multiplatinum-selling band Counting Crows and multiple Grammy Award winning singer and songwriter Rob Thomas announced a co-headlining tour today that will stop by Sunlight Supply Amphitheater on September 4th.
For Counting Crows, the tour announcement comes on the heels of their recent news of an exciting run of European shows, which includes a coveted opening slot for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in Rome, Italy. Praised as "one of the most popular and easily identifiable rock groups in America (NPR)", the band will be performing hits from their complete discography spanning the past two decades. Counting Crows' latest release, 2014's 'Somewhere Under Wonderland', earned critical acclaim as one of the "band's best" and scored a top 10 debut. The album was recognized as one of the group's "stronger works (USA Today)" and claimed a spot on Rolling Stone's Top 50 Songs of the 2014 list with the track "Dislocation".
The upcoming tour celebrates Rob Thomas' 3rd solo effort, The Great Unknown, which was released last year. The album had a Top 10 debut on the Soundscan/Billboard 200 chart and earned critical acclaim on its arrival. Rolling Stone hailed Thomas as "the same consummate pop-rock craftsman who has been making it all sound so smooth for years…Thomas piles on the hooks right from the opener." The Great Unknown was produced by a remarkable roster of studio all-stars including longtime collaborator Matt Serletic, Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé), Ricky Reed (Jessie J, Jason Derulo, twenty one pilots), and Shep Goodman & Aaron Accetta (American Authors) and features the hit single, "Hold On Forever" as well as the soon-to-be released "Pieces."
"Twenty years ago Rob and I were like kids running around Italy in the middle of the night getting drunk and playing gigs. I still love nothing more than touring with my friends. This is going to be a great summer," said Adam Duritz.
"Music is about good friends getting together and celebrating life. Our fans are going to be doing that in the audience and we will be doing that on stage as well. Bring on the summer!" said Rob Thomas.
Tickets for the September 4th show at Sunlight Supply Amphitheater go on sale Friday, April 15th at 10 am.


As I begin to kit out my mobile workshop for the project, I am breaking off to make notes about how to organise and carry out my expedition to Isle Martin. A wonderfully exciting prospect especially with the aim to tow the litter away from the island on World Environment Day. If anyone in the area has access to a boat and time on the 5th June (its a Wednesday) to help tow the 'Litter Rafts' to the mainland your support would be much appreciated and would help to make a big visual statement of what it's possible to achieve. I am also looking for help/funding to film the 'flotilla event' on the 5th so that our event on the west coast can be seen on line as part of the United Nations Environment Programme ( UNEP) record of the 2014 World Environment Day events, they are looking for films to show case what can be achieved! Please contact me with any suggestions. Many thanks.


Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has many benefits for patients who opt for this treatment, but there are a number of benefits that offer specific advantages to athletes, such as faster post-workout recovery times. If you're an athlete living in the Denver area, keep reading to learn about the benefits you could be experiencing through hyperbaric oxygen therapy at our Denver brain center. We are proud to offer therapy through the hyperbaric oxygen chamber as one of our many advanced technologies.
Because the hyperbaric oxygen chamber provides the user with pure, 100 percent oxygen at higher than normal air pressure, the volume of oxygen in the blood is greatly increased. When it comes to recovering after a workout, this increased oxygen promotes the production of ATP and the removal of lactic acid, which causes muscle fatigue.
Increased oxygen in the user's blood also means an increase of oxygen to the brain, which promotes more efficient brain function. When the brain is functioning at optimal levels, athletes are able to make split-second decisions quickly and correctly. This could make all of the difference when it comes to winning a game or match.
When you're an athlete, an injury means being unable to do the one thing you've chosen to spend your life doing, and you want to get back in the game as quickly as possible. Through hyperbaric oxygen therapy, athletes can heal much faster. Highly oxygenated blood cells more effectively provide oxygen to those areas that need it the most, promoting shorter healing times.
If you're an athlete living in the Denver area, contact NeuraPerformance Brain Center to learn how hyperbaric oxygen therapy could transform your game. We can be reached via phone or via our online contact form. Get in touch today to enhance your brain performance.


On September 22 of 1868, three of the five newly elected Board of Commissioners took their oaths of office to form the first Board of Commissioners in Onslow County. For over 138 years, the Onslow County Board of Commissioners has served as the elected governing Board of our county.
Each of the seven Commissioners is elected at-large meaning that they represent the entire county population. Each member serves a four-year term.
During their first meeting in December of each year, the Board elects one of its members to serve as their Chairman and one to serve as Vice Chairman.

Ashes 2021-22: Pat Cummins accomplishes plethora of landmarks with five-fer on Test captaincy debut
Pat Cummins couldn't have had a better start to his leadership tenure than Day 1 of the Ashes 2021-22 opener, when the speedster snatched a five-fer. England were skittled out for a meagre 147 while batting first at the Gabba in Brisbane, thanks to his outstanding bowling performance. Cummins' exploits in his leadership debut not only put the Australians in command, but they also went down in history. As Australia made a fairytale start to their campaign, the pacer finished with figures of 5/38 in 13.1 overs. Meanwhile, Cummins became the first bowler since Afghanistan's Rashid Khan in 2019 to collect a five-wicket haul on his Test captaincy debut. The leggie made history in Chattogram, where he took five-fers in both innings in the Test.
Cummins became the tenth bowler in Ashes history to take a five-wicket haul as captain. Anil Kumble of India, Courtney Walsh of the West Indies, and Daniel Vettori of New Zealand are some of the other notable names who have taken a five-fer in Tests while managing the squad. Joe Root, Cummins' opponent in this game, was the first to achieve the feat when he bowled 5/8 against India earlier this year.
These are some of Pat Cummins' other achievements as a result of his outstanding performance in the Ashes Opener
Pat Cummins became the first Australian captain since George Giffen in 1895 to collect a five-wicket haul in his first Test match.
Since Michael Clarke in 2012, he is the only Australian skipper to collect a five-wicket haul.
Since Australian skipper Bob Willis in 1984, the bowler is the first skipper to take a five-for in an Ashes Test.
As captain, Cummins became the first Australian captain to take five wickets in the first innings. He's the 11th person to achieve the feat in total.
Cummins became the 10th bowler in Ashes history to capture a five-wicket haul as captain, and the fifth Australian to do so.
Since Afghanistan's Rashid Khan in 2019, the right-arm quick became the only bowler to collect a five-wicket haul on Test captaincy debut.
Meanwhile, the Australians are in command at the moment and would like to continue to dominate England on the second day. The Australians were unable to come out to bat on the first day due to rain and poor lighting. As a result, it will be intriguing to observe whether or not the visitors can make a return with the ball.


Just a few miles outside of Walt Disney World, Tibet-Butler Nature Preserve is an Orange County park that offers a chance to get in touch with the real Florida. The 440 acre park contains diverse natural areas including bay swamps, marshes, cypress swamps, pine flatwoods and scrub. Visitors have a chance to see a variety of wildlife, including tortoises, snakes and birds.
Your visit begins at the Vera Carter Environmental Center, which is a small air-conditioned room with several exhibits, including taxidermy and interactive displays about the various ecosystems within the park. It's a good place to take a break from the heat before or after your hike, and the handful of interactive displays give younger visitors a fun way to learn a little something about natural Florida.
Just outside the center is a butterfly garden, with various plants marked with their names and some information. You'll also find a few tortoises here, previously injured and unable to be returned for the wild. Keep an eye out on the back side of the environmental center for a larger Sulcata tortoise, native to Africa.
At the center you'll also find trail maps, current condition information, clean restrooms, and classroom facilities for programs. On our recent visit the Palmetto Passage Trail was closed due to heavy rains in the days prior causing some minor flooding.
There are a total of 6 trails, spanning a little over 3 miles total. The trails are an easy hike, with little elevation change across the park. Some trails are a bed of soft grass, other sections are boardwalks elevated above the swamps below. Some sections of trails are a bit rougher with rocks or tree roots making the ground uneven, so always proceed with caution.
At the end of the Osprey Trail is an overlook onto a swampy area on the edge of Lake Tibet. While we didn't see any large birds during our visit, this is definitely a great spot to look out for hawks, eagles and osprey.
Tibet-Butler Nature Preserve is a great way to spend a couple of hours getting in touch with the real Florida without breaking the bank. Even though its just a couple of miles from the parks, it's a nice change of pace and a world away from the crowds.

Q: Xcode equivalent of Visual Studio's "Find Source" I am developing on a Qt project, and have installed Qt from their installer onto my computer. In Visual Studio it is simple to debug-step into Qt sources: when I enter a function in an unknown file, it will open a file browser to let me locate the original Qt source code.
Is there an equivalent function in Xcode or LLDB?

A: The debug information records the location of the QT source files when they were built.  You can find this information by doing:
  (lldb) image lookup -va main
    Address: hello[0x0000000100000f40] (hello.__TEXT.__text + 0)
    Summary: hello`main at hello.c:5
     Module: file = "/private/tmp/hello", arch = "x86_64"
CompileUnit: id = {0x00000000}, file = "/tmp/hello.c", language = "ISO C:1999"
   Function: id = {0x00000026}, name = "main", range = [0x0000000100000f40-0x0000000100000f6d)
   FuncType: id = {0x00000026}, decl = hello.c:4, clang_type = "int (void)"
     Blocks: id = {0x00000026}, range = [0x100000f40-0x100000f6d)
  LineEntry: [0x0000000100000f40-0x0000000100000f56): /tmp/hello.c:5
     Symbol: id = {0x00000004}, range = [0x0000000100000f40-0x0000000100000f6d), name="main"

but substitute some QT function for "main".  Then look at the CompileUnit line and see what the "file" entry says.  Suppose it says
"/BuildDirectory/sources/SomeSubdirectory/SomeFile.cpp"

Now presumably you've downloaded the QT sources, and they live somewhere on your local machine, say in
"/Users/ME/QT/sources"

So what you want to do is tell lldb: "when you see a source file rooted at /BuildDirectory/sources, look in /Users/ME/QT/sources instead."  You do that with the lldb "target.source-map" setting.  In this example, you would say:
(lldb) settings set target.source-map /BuildDirectory/sources /Users/ME/QT/sources

You can type that in on the command line or put it in your .lldbinit file for more general use.  lldb will update its source maps automatically, but if you are running in Xcode, you'll have to step once after issuing the command to get it to update.


Hello OK! Today's vehicle care topic is: Synthetic Oil vs. Petroleum Based Oil. Synthetic motor oil is a substitute for petroleum based oil. If you aren't currently using it, why not? Synthetic motor oil maximizes engine power and fuel economy. To see why, we'd need a microscope, so we'll have to settle for using our imaginations. The molecules of conventional motor oil are long hydrocarbon chains. Synthetic motor oil, on the other hand, has uniform, round molecules. Which is slipperier, a pile of pencils or a pile of marbles?
Some manufacturers are extending oil change intervals for many models. The added protection of synthetic oil covers you for these longer intervals. Talk with your South Side Garage service advisor about how you drive in and see if he thinks you can benefit from synthetic oil for your vehicle. Also ask about the appropriate oil change interval for synthetic, because it may very well be longer than for conventional oil.

Q: Database relation concept Good morning, experts
I need your advice. Let's say we have user, profile and post entities.
Variant 1: user has many profile, profile has many post
Variant 2: user has many profile, user has many post
What's the best? By convenience, "right way", or maybe even performance?

A: It depends...
1) on how the system works..if the posts are associated with profiles. Then you should use Variant 1. For example, the questions I post in Stackoverflow should be associated with my Stackoverflow profile. The questions I post in Superuser should be associated with that profile.
If you want to maintain this type of behaviour with Variant 2. The post would have to have a field indicating where the post belongs.
2) on how you will use the data. If you do not need the profile information when querying for posts, then may be you shouldn't associate profile and post.
3) In terms of performance, using very basic logic, joining across 3 tables to retrieve some information is likely to be worse than joining across 2 tables (of course depends on the columns in the join, index etc...but say all else being equal).
I think the best thing to do is to keep it simple. Keeping it simple, it'll be easier to figure out if something will work the way you expect it to. If it doesn't, it will be easier to figure out why and fix it. And if required, it'll be easier for you to modify it later on as well.

A: Assuming you mean to ask:  "In general, when designing a data model, what considerations should be valued highest - convenience, correctness, or performance?",  then I would say that correctness should be a first priority. Convenience and performance will be secondary concerns.

A: Option 2 seems much better to me.
But specifying what kind of information your store in a profile would help understanding.
I assumed that profile holds role/category information.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa (CNS) — South African Benedict Daswa, who was bludgeoned to death 25 years ago for resisting witchcraft, now has the title of blessed.
The schoolteacher was beatified Sept. 13 in ceremonies that drew about 30,000 people to the remote northern South Africa village of Tshitanini, near his home in Limpopo province.
Blessed Daswa, who was 43 when he was murdered in 1990, is the first person from the southern African region to undergo beatification, a step toward sainthood.
Blessed Daswa was killed by fellow villagers after he refused to pay a sorcerer who promised to end lightning storms that were causing heavy damage in the region.
At the time, all households in the community were expected to contribute a small amount of money to a man known as "the doctor" who would then identify the person believed to be responsible for causing the storms, and that person would be killed, said Father S'milo Mngadi, communications officer for the Southern African Catholic Bishops' Conference.
Blessed Daswa, born June 16, 1946, was married with eight children, including one born a few months after his death. His children sat in front at the beatification Mass alongside their 91-year-old grandmother, Thidziambi Ida Daswa.
South African Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa attended the ceremony, which followed an overnight vigil by thousands of people.
Blessed Daswa died Feb. 2, 1990, the day South Africa's apartheid regime announced it would release anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela.
The attack occurred as he was driving home and found the road blocked with stones and logs. As he got out of his car, he was stoned by people hiding in nearby bushes. He ran to the closest hut with his attackers in pursuit, and a woman who saw where he entered pointed him out after being threatened.
He prayed "Father, receive my spirit," as they clubbed him to death, the bishops' conference said. To ensure he was dead, his attackers poured boiling water into his ears and nostrils.
Blessed Daswa "was a committed lay Catholic and the loving husband and father of a large family; a dedicated teacher and volunteer catechist," and "an active and charitable member of the community," Archbishop Stephen Brislin of Cape Town, president of the bishops' conference, said in a statement.
His "great moral courage and his passion for the truth led him to openly and very publicly oppose the belief and practice of witchcraft," the archbishop said.
"This courageous witness to the faith led to his martyrdom," he said.
"Aware of the fear caused by the practices of identifying witches, the harm this does to the fabric of social relations and the inevitable killing of innocent people, he was prepared to oppose this practice which still persists today, out of love for Christ and at the cost of his own life," Archbishop Brislin said.
Unknown outside his village when he died, Blessed Daswa's fame grew slowly, Bishop Joao Noe Rodrigues of Tzaneen, South Africa, told Catholic News Service Sept. 14.
Witchcraft is a taboo subject in South Africa, and many people have died in the practice of witchcraft, in opposing it and in witch hunts, he said.
The bishop called upon communities that have "deep-seated" cultural attachments to openly discuss the practice.
It is hoped that Blessed Daswa's "legacy will be to develop healing and truth in the community in which he lived and beyond," he added.
Murder charges against the teacher's killers were dropped after the state could not find witnesses prepared to testify, he said.
Blessed Daswa's family "has forgiven the perpetrators, acknowledging their youth and that there was manipulation by a ringleader, known to the family, who has since died," the bishop noted.
"The family understands the context of his death and, although they have suffered great hurt, they have forgiven" those responsible, he said.
Pope Francis announced in January that the South African would be beatified.
Blessed Daswa's feast day will be celebrated Feb. 1.
