We know that an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise or little recreation time can lead to imbalances in your biochemistry and eventually to disease. Research also shows that environmental and emotional stress negatively impacts our body, and therefore our health and accelerates the aging process. On top of this our environment contains more chemical challenges and pollutants than ever before, and we live a high paced life where it is possible to ignore symptoms. An integrative approach is a medical model that actively considers these challenges and encourages good choices for prevention and treatment of disease states before they cause major health issues.
Your first consultation allows enough time to include a detailed history, examination where investigations may be arranged to determine your diagnosis and/or management plan. In some cases with your permission these investigations provide a detailed gut profile that is not covered by Medicare. Specific combinations of vitamin, mineral and nutritional supplementation and bio-identical hormone replacement may be prescribed for both men and women to treat symptoms. Where symptoms are present your body's capacity to return to normal is monitored, and adjustments to supplementation monitored as you return to optimal health. Lifestyle interventions may be an important part of your recovery. Your readiness to change is discussed and you are welcome to bring questions.
The government introduced rebates for medical acupuncture in 1982. Dr Mullen has been a recognised RACGP and HIC accredited Medical Acupuncturist since 1985. Dr Mullen only provides medical acupuncture to existing patients, because a medical practitioner, he must rule out a more serious health concern or disease state.
Acupuncture treats disease states by influencing points on meridians or lines of energy interconnecting across the body. It is most commonly performed by inserting fine needles at a number of points whilst the patient rests fully or partially clothed for 30 minutes. A series of 8-10 sessions may be recommended.
Acupuncture has been shown to effectively treat conditions including sinusitis, allergy, back and joint pain, acute injury, nausea in pregnancy, smoking cessation, anxiety and stress reduction, shoulder pain, fybromyalgia, shingles and migraines. Patients can experience a number of benefits simultaneously and often report a significant reduction in physical, emotional, mental and spiritual stress following Acupuncture.


August Paul von Wassermann was born on February 21, 1866, in Bamberg Germany. He was the son of a Bavarian court banker Angelo Wassermann (who was elevated to hereditary nobility in 1910) and Dora Bauer. He attended the Gymnasium at Bamberg and studied medicine at the Universities of Erlangen, Vienna, and Munich. He graduated with his medical degree from the University of Strasbourg in 1888.
He joined Robert Koch's newly established Institute for Infectious Diseases in 1891 as an unpaid assistant under Bernhard Proskauer. In 1893 he became a temporary assistant working on the problems related to cholera. In 1895 he became the inspecting physician at the Institute's control station for diphtheria. In 1902 he became the director of the clinical division of the Institute. In 1913 he left the Institute to become the director of the department of experimental therapy at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, a position he held until his death.
Wassermann was quick to understand the importance of the young science of bacteriology and he made the acquaintance of Paul Ehrlich of whom he became a pupil and colleague. After 1900 he became interested in complement, which was still being investigated. Complement is series of serum proteins that functions as a part of the immune system which, in concert with antibodies, attach to invading bacteria to cause lysis and phagocytosis (see here for the Wikipedia article on the complement system). Starting in 1901 Wassermann unsuccessfully worked to develop a complement based test to diagnose tuberculosis. Later, in 1906, working with Albert Neisser, he developed a complement based test to detect antibodies to the causative agent for syphilis. This test, known as the Wassermann test, was widely used to diagnose syphilis, was developed only one year after the discovery of the causative agent by Fritz Richard Schaudinn and Paul Erich Hoffmann.
During World War I, Wassermann's research was curtailed and eventually suspended completely. During the war he served as a hygienist and bacteriologist, supervising epidemic control on the eastern front. In 1924 he began to suffer from Bright's disease, which took his life on March 16, 1925.

On Thanksgiving Day people sing silly funny songs with family and friends to make it a memorable day. Grandma Stuffed The Turkey Song is one such funny song.
Who do you think we're kidding?
We're really here for food!
Then the turkey sure stuffed us.
It's the only one she owns.

We keep fillin' up our dish.

Yea, talking up a storm.
Yea, we can eat some more!
But those turkeys stay the same.
And Grandma's glad we came.


I've heard that the 6.0 doesn't like 15w40 oil. Something to do with injector issues. Can anyone confirm this?
absolutely lol, i bought my truck at 2016k miles with conventional 15w40 in it and it was extremely hard to start cold even at 40F ambient. i kinda think that if the PO would have used synthetic 5w40 that the injectors would be in better shape right now. the good thing is that as soon as i switched to a full synth 5w40, cold starts became much much easier and the 'stiction' symptoms aren't as severe. at least the injectors aren't getting worse... yet. . i think the treatments like archoil and revx that i've used probably helped a bit too.
"Farts are like a good bourbon, add a small touch of water to bring out the excellence."
my farts are so bad, they have been banned in 37 countries!
Except 5W-40 doesn't hold icp as well.
15W-40 is fine, just stick with a good synthetic.
15 qts of full synthetic? Damn, that's like an $80 oil change.
I run full synthetic 15/40. I buy a 5 gal pail for $70 shipped to my house. @79jasper runs the more better stuff than I and it's about $120 for a pail. Plus it's red.
the reduced warmup time makes it worth it to me lol! though, i'd imagine by now if i'd just gotten new injectors from the get go, i'd be ahead by now DOH!

Minecraft for iPhone Briefly Appears, Then Disappears from iTunes
Filed to: KnockoffsFiled to: Knockoffs
Minecrafted
Just when you thought it was safe to come out of your cave, a new app puts the Java hit Minecraft on your iPad or iPhone. How did the developer do it?
According to the description on Appshopper.com, it's a "no-hax client...built without code or content from the original." That certainly implies to me that Minecrafted the iOS app is actually just a knock-off of Minecraft.
Unfortunately, the app isn't available in the U.S. App Store, so I can't download it. I can't tell if it's been pulled or was never there in the first place, but it's looking like the hopes of Minecraft on iOS will be waiting on a proper port from Notch, the developer. (Electric Pig posits the app's been pulled, as well.)

Quotebook #2
"Christianity, and nothing else, is the ultimate foundation of liberty, conscience, human rights, and democracy, the benchmarks of western civilization. To this day, we have no other options [besides Christianity]. We continue to nourish ourselves from this source. Everything else is postmodern chatter."
--- Jurgen Habermas, a German philosopher/theologian
"A person who has lived in many ages by reading their history and literature is relatively immune from the flash, trash, hype and jive that gushes forth from the press and microphone of modern times."
--- C.S. Lewis
"Many clever men like you have trusted to civilisation. Many clever Babylonians, many clever Egyptians, many clever men at the end of Rome. Can you tell me, in a world that is flagrant with the failures of civilisation, what there is particularly immortal about yours?"
--- G. K. Chesterton
"Lovers must not, like usurers, live for themselves alone. They must finally turn from their gaze at one another back toward the community... They say their vows to the community as much as to one another, and the community gathers around tem to hear and to wish them well, on their behalf and on its own. It gathers around them because it understands how necessary, how joyful, and how fearful this joining is. These lovers, pledging themselves to one another 'until death,' are giving themselves away, and they are joined by this as no law or contract could ever join them. Lovers, then, 'die' into their union with one another as a soul 'dies' into its union with God. And so here, at the very heart of community life, we find not something to sell as in the public market but this momentous giving. If the community cannot protect this giving, it can protect nothing – and our time is proving that this is so."
--- Wendell Berry
"The Christian church is that society which does not take its dogma from the reigning plausibility structure, but explicitly takes as starting point for all its searching, learning, teaching and acting, the story which the Bible tells with its determinative centre in the incarnation, ministry, death and resurrection of the Word, by whom and for whom all things were made and hold together."
-- Lesslie Newbigin
"This suggests a third consequence, which some of the advocates of the movement even already are bold enough to foreshadow. "Women's Rights" mean the abolition of all permanent marriage ties. We are told that Mrs. Cady Stanton avowed this result, proclaiming it at the invitation of the Young Men's Christian Association of New York. She holds that woman's bondage is not truly dissolved until the marriage bond is annulled. She is thoroughly consistent. Some hoodwinked advocates of her revolution may be blind to the sequence; but it is inevitable. It must follow by this cause, if for no other, that the unsexed politicating woman can never inspire in man that true affection on which marriage should be founded. Men will doubtless be still sensual; but it is simply impossible that they can desire them for the pure and sacred sphere of the wife. Let every woman ask herself: will she choose for the lord of her affections an unsexed effeminate man? No more can man be drawn to the masculine woman. The mutual attraction of the two complementary halves is gone forever. The abolition of marriage would follow again by another cause. The divergent interests and the rival independence of the two equal wills would be irreconcilable with domestic government, or union, or peace. Shall the children of this monstrous no-union be held responsible to two variant co-ordinate and supreme wills at once? Heaven pity the children! Shall the two parties to this perpetual co-partnership have neither the power to secure the performance of the mutual duties nor to dissolve it? It is a self-contradiction, an impossible absurdity. Such a co-partnership of equals with independent interests must be separable at will, as all other such co-partnerships are. The only relation between the sexes which will remain will be a cohabitation continuing so long as the convenience or caprice of both parties may suggest; and this, with most, will amount to a vagrant concubinage"
-- R. L. Dabney, writing against nascent feminism in 1871

Morgan Brian reportedly ending Lyon contract early for return to NWSL

The Equalizer has learned that U.S. international Morgan Brian is on the verge of a return to the NWSL after a mutual agreement with current club Lyon to cancel her contract.
Brian, who joined the club at the start of January on a two-and-a-half year deal, has only featured four times for the French side—with just two starts in over four months.
The World Cup-winning midfielder has not featured in any of Lyon's Champions League fixtures, despite being available for all of them with the exception of the semi-final second leg against Manchester City, for which she was injured. She has also been left out of big domestic matches against Paris Saint-Germain and Montpellier.
It is this outlet's understanding that Brian was not injured for these matches and was available.
Sources have told The Equalizer that, despite a couple of minor setbacks, the 25-year old has been training and available for much of the season, hence her call-ups to the U.S women's national team during her time away.
When this outlet asked Head Coach Reynald Pedros why Brian was not in his 20 player squad for the game with Wolfsburg during his pre-Women's Champions League Final press conference, he said, "Morgan joined us in January after three months of not having played a single match.
"She got back on her feet, but then she got injured again, more than once, so she couldn't really get the practice or the matches, and this is why she is not in the group."
The question asked also wanted clarification on how Pedros saw Brian's future under his management, but he did not answer that part.
Now it would appear a frustrating period for Brian is due to come to an end with a move back to the NWSL and the Chicago Red Stars, who own her rights, likely to be announced within the next week.
Brian would not be the first player to cut a stint short at Lyon if she is not move back to the NWSL early. Megan Rapinoe returned to Seattle four months before the end of her contract in 2014 following her stint with the French club.
For Brian, the move back to the US would give her a chance to get minutes on the field and prove any doubters wrong about her fitness, while also giving her the best chance of being selected for CONCACAF World Cup Qualifiers in October.

Hi! My name is Leah Cash. I found out I was pregnant June 4th, 2009 (1 hour before my graduation ceremony). I told my boyfriend of 4 years about the news and he assured me we would be fine and we'd talk about it later. I told my mom a week later when she reminded my to send my information into the college I was planning on attending. She was upset at first, but it was because she knew it would be hard for me. She told my dad and they were very supportive of mine and Daniel's choice to keep our baby. Daniel's family was supportive also. I was one month pregnant when I found out and our son Jace was born on Feb. 7th. My boyfriend currently works full time at a plant and goes to school at night. I attend a nearby college during the day to get my degree in History, secondary education. There are a lot of sacrifices to be made in raising a child, but every single one is worth it. My boyfriend and I love Jace more than anything.
Hello my name is Tierra i am 16 and i have a 3month old baby boy names Devin...When I first found out that i was pregnant i was super excited but worried about how I would explain it to my parents. It was 4 days before my boyfriend's birthday and i thought that telling him we were having a baby would make his birthday even better,Sadly when i told Kevin about our baby he got up from the dinner table and left me at the resturant all alone and i spent all of my last money on his birthday gift and dinner plus my cellphone battery was dying so i had noway home and the resturant was alllll the way across town and i who was 4 months pregnant at the time had to walk all the way home now i know what your thinking how was she 4 months pregnant and did not know well im not the averge girl i am plus size so when i was getting bigger from pregnacy i thought i was eating alot... But niw that my son has been born no one from Kevin's family nor Kevin has came to see my son or bought him anything...And since the day Kevin left me at the resturant on his birthday i havent talked to him i seen him at the mall about 3weks ago and he and his new girlfriend was going into a baby store. I went home and called my bestfriend and rumor has it SHE'S PREGNANT...BUT not by him by another guy she cheated on Kevin with. I dont know what i did wrong but as long as i have Devin in my life I'll be fine..
my name is ashley im 16 years old and i have a 7 month old baby girl. When i found out i was pregnant i was scared but excited. I knew that i was going to have a little person that belonged only to me!! I mean well to my fiance and myself. my fiance was so supportive when i told him of the pregnancy. He took me to my appointments. one day we were at his house and he was rubbing my tummy and out of no were he asked me to marry him. of course i said yes! he took my virginity and i was in love with him. my baby girl is my world and i am the sun. She is my everything. i LOVE having my own little family. Dylan and i are stronger than ever and little baby girl elania just made it that much stronger. So if your pregnant dont get sad its a blessing.!!
Hi My name is Carmen and I am 32 weeks pregnant.
Sadly, the father was too much of a coward to stay with me because he didn't want to face responsibilities. I found I was pregnant 2 days before my birthday April 7. I had been pregnant for three months and I didn't know. Or I knew but I didnt want to believe that it was true.
I told him that I was pregnant and he just ran to his mommy and let her to all the talking. Anyways, I was lucky enough to have my friends to support me, and my mom. Though we have our ups and downs but I am really glad shes here for me and supporting me * emotionally*!
I knew that what I was doing was stupid but obviously I didnt use condoms or the pill. Other than that, I already have everything for my baby and I am really excited and I know that this happened for a reason! I want to be the best mom I can be and i don't need a man to help me. I was tempted to go and beg for him to stay with me but I had my mom to tell me that what I was going to do was ridiculous and very shameful. So I am going to be a single mom and I am proud to be one!
Be strong! And now you have a baby to look out for. and the best part is that you will grow up with your baby, so you are not alone!
iam 6 months pregnant and i have just found out that the dad of my baby has already got another child with my best mate and i didnt know.
and then he tells me that he doesnt want nothing to do with me and the baby now.
my mom knows that iam pregnant but she doesnt know that i was abused by him.
iam going to love this baby so much and its not going to go without i dont want my baby to be brought up like me though without seeing her dad and i dont know what to do?


On their proper debut, Speedy Ortiz join a small club of young indie rock bands writing lyrics that are actually worth poring over, but the charms here extend beyond frontwoman Sadie Dupuis' clever and biting wordplay. The 1990s-indebted guitar crunch and quaking rhythms are a perfect match for her dark wit.
God bless middle school bullies: without the torment they've reliably inflicted on generation after generation of brooding, musically-inclined creative types, would there even be indie rock? At the very least there wouldn't be "No Below", one of the most striking songs on Northampton, Mass., noise-pop quartet Speedy Ortiz's proper debut Major Arcana. "I didn't know you when I broke my knee," frontwoman Sadie Dupuis murmurs during the song's wounded, palm-muted intro, "Spent the summer on crutches, and everybody teased." Gnarled yet stingingly heartfelt, "No Below" blooms into a portrait of the artist as a friendless tween: death-obsessed, ditched by the one person at school who gets her, and left "freezing alone with [her] thoughts." You know, the kind of early-onset trauma from which great, off-kilter bedroom-pop eventually springs.
The first album to bear Speedy Ortiz's name (which itself is a nod to a doomed character in the beloved alt-comic Love and Rockets) was a solo affair. Dupuis' self-recorded 2011 release The Death of Speedy Ortiz was a patchy, sardonic (sample titles: "Hexxy Sadie", "Kinda Blew") lo-fi gem in the tradition of early Sebadoh or Liz Phair's legendary Girlysound tapes. But like the heroine of "No Below" (who later finds a companion to compare scars with: "Everything fucked up we both felt before/ I'm glad for it all if it got us where we are"), Dupuis eventually found strength in numbers. By the time Speedy Ortiz's promising Sports EP came out last year, she'd brought in some new recruits-- bassist Darl Ferm, guitarist Matt Robidoux, and drummer Mike Falcone-- to kick the firepower up a notch. It worked wonders: A Speedy Ortiz song used to sound like a personally gummed, exactingly aimed spitball, but the best ones on the explosive, earthquaking Major Arcana land like grenades.
Still, even as their songs have grown louder, gnarlier, and more compositionally ambitious, Speedy Ortiz have managed to preserve the intimacy and idiosyncrasy that made Dupuis' early home recordings so compelling. Which is a testament not just to producer Justin Pizzoferrato (Dinosaur Jr., Chelsea Light Moving) but also to how receptively and thoughtfully all four members play off each other: Ferm and Falcone keep Major Arcana's rhythms feeling fluid and adventurous but never sloppy, while the ongoing conversation between Dupuis's vocals and Robidoux's trebly, agile riffs is particularly essential to Speedy's charm. As it does on "No Below"'s caustic, catchy chorus ("And though I once said/ I was better off just being dead"), Robidoux's guitar usually mirrors or embroiders Dupuis' vocal melody, underscoring her words rather than drowning them out.
And thank goodness-- because Major Arcana finds Speedy Ortiz joining a depressingly small club of young indie rock bands (maybe the first new members since Parquet Courts' Light Up Gold) writing lyrics that are actually worth poring over. "My mouth is a factory for every toxic part of speech I spew," Dupuis quivers on the Mascis-indebted sludgefest "Tiger Tank", and the rest of the record makes good on that promise. Like her hero Stephen Malkmus (she was once the frontwoman of an all-female Pavement cover band called-- wait for it-- Babement) Dupuis sings like someone palpably fascinated with the way words sound. Check, for one example, the way she scales the line, "criminally twisted puny little villain" in the opening moments of "Fun", delighting in the texture of every vowel. Her lines strike a tricky balance between feeling loose and meticulously crafted-- another trick she must have learned from memorizing Malkmus quotables. On highlights like "Pioneer Spine" or the hellraising "Cash Cab", Dupuis has a knack for turning seemingly dribbled-out mouthfuls into catchy hooks; in a lot of cases you won't stop to marvel at the ingenuity of her lines until you're already singing along.
Speedy Ortiz wear their love of the 1990s on their torn, flannel sleeves, which makes this particular round of Spot the Influence about as challenging as a game of teeball: there's the squalling, guitar-on-guitar carnage of Archers of Loaf, the grungy mysticism of Helium (Dupuis lifted the title Major Arcana from a book she was reading on black magic), and of course the deadpan wit of vintage Phair ("I was never the witch that you made me to be," Dupuis tells a burnt-out old flame on "Plough", "Still you picked a virgin over me"). But don't let any of that lead you to think that Speedy Ortiz are your garden variety nostalgists. Even at its most distortion-caked, there's a melodic confidence and a gimlet-eyed clarity about Major Arcana that's a rare find in a debut. They've got reverence for their forebears, sure, but unlike a lot of recent bands exhuming the ghosts of indie rock past, Speedy Ortiz also have faith in the peculiar personality traits that set them apart from their heroes. With its quaking rhythms, twisted riffage, and jet-black wit, Major Arcana is a redemptive ode to the broken bones that grew back together a little crooked-- the ones that taught Dupuis how to walk in her own weird way.

Master Gardener: Daffodils come in a variety and combination of colors
Christine Michael
Spring rains encourage the growth of green grass and colorful, fragrant flowers which are much welcome after winter. Among the first flowers to appear in gardens and landscaped areas are the popular daffodil. Almost everyone recognizes the cheerful, yellow flower — often because their parents and grandparents had them.
What child doesn't marvel at the trumpet shape of the flower, which could be why some people refer to the daffodil as the "herald of spring." In medieval Europe and Africa, men who served as heralds announced the arrival of royalty by sounding trumpets.
A perennial, the daffodil originated in ancient Spain and can now be found all over the world, according to the American Daffodil Society (ADS). But, the beauty of today's daffodils is the various combinations of color including white, orange, red, pink, green, and yellow. A flower may have up to three colors on either the petals or cup.
This is a good time of year to view the many different cultivated varieties, also known as cultivars, to determine what you would like in your garden or backyard. Or you can shop the catalogs or visit online sites that have colorful pictures. Order now for shipment in the fall.
It may be hard to choose only a few varieties after you see what is available. The flowers consist of petals, called the perianth, upon which sits the cup, called the corona. Colors of the flowers can be solid, meaning the entire flower is the same color, such as yellow.
Color is described in the order of the outside tip of the petal, then toward the center; for the cup, the color description begins at the eye and moves to the rim.
These are the 13 Divisions and their characteristics:
Division 1 Trumpet Daffodils — one flower per stem; the corona or trumpet is as long or longer than the petals.
Division 2 Large-Cupped Daffodils — one flower per stem; the corona (or cup) is more than 1/3, but not as long as the petals. The shorter corona is no longer referred to as a trumpet from this division on.
Division 3 Small-Cupped Daffodils — one flower per stem; the cup is 1/3 or less than the length of the petals.
Division 4 Double Daffodils — one or more flowers per stem; the petals and or the corona may be doubled.

Division 5 Triandus Daffodils — two or more pendent flowers per stem with reflexed petals.
Division 6 Cyclamineus Daffodils — one flower per stem at an acute angle; petals are significantly reflexed.
Division 7 Jonquilla Daffodils — one to five flowers per stem; petals spreading or reflexed; corona cup-shaped, funnel-shaped, or flared and usually wider than long; usually fragrant.
Division 8 Tazetta Daffodils — three to 20 flowers to a stout stem; petals spreading but not reflexed; fragrant flowers.
Division 9 Poeticus Daffodils — petals pure white, cup very short or disc shaped usually with a green and/or yellow center and red rim; fragrant flowers.
Division 10 Bulbocodium Hybrids — usually one flower per stem; insignificant petals; cup looks like a 'hoop skirt".
Division 11 Split-Cupped Daffodils — corona segments are split and lie alternate to the petals.
Division 12 Other Daffodil Cultivars — those not fitting the above categories; many are crosses between divisions.
Division 13 Species, Wild Variants, and Wild Hybrids — these are found in natural daffodils.
Once the flowers are spent, resist the urge to cut back the foliage until it yellows. This provides food for the bulb which will multiply and bloom next spring.

Been a few days since I worked on the bug.
Today I took the "oil canning effect" out of my driver's side front quarter panel. It is named after that sound that an old metal oil can use to make when you squeeze the sides. After welding in the A pillar, it had been heated up to a point where the panel started to flex. I used my stud welder and heated it up in a concentric circle and then quickly cooled it with a wet towel. Doing this causes the metal to shrink! And the oil canning effect goes away.
I also took care of the passenger front quarter. This is where that small collision damage was. With some hammer and dolly-ing around the front bumper mount that area was relatively easy to fix. However, the area that had crinkled was behind another panel and I wasn't able to get behind it. So I had to weld studs to it (stud welder used in previous fix, multi-task!) and then a slide hammer which grabs the stud and then a weight is used to pull back on it to get the metal out of it's concave shape.
In this pic, you can sort of see the front passenger side quarter damage.
After panel beating the front part, I welded the studs onto the carb to pull the dent out.
Although it looks pretty rough in the picture, a light coat of metal filler and it will like new.
Now I need to weld the front apron and spare tire tray in. Then onto some of the body parts!
Well today I welded in the master cylinder shelf area. It was quite a pain, with several burn-throughs and some fitment issues.
A few days ago I prepped the front apron attach area by grinding down all the spot weld holes in the previous post. And yesterday I patched all the holes on the front quarter panels where the spare tire well attaches.
I'd like to get the front apron/spare tire well on and taken care of. After that is complete...on to metal work on the various body parts. Fenders, doors, hood, decklid, and some welding on the seats.
I've had quite a few days off, but after some visitors and my thumb injury I didn't get into it as much as I had hoped.
The weather has also cooled down significantly. So much so, that I had to use my garage heater today! And also having trouble with the pan starting since my manual choke isn't hooked up. May have to rig something up to make that work.
Anyway, today I did a little bit of metal bumping on the front apron. I also removed the old, rotten spare tire well from the front apron. Then I welded it up, will grind it smooth tomorrow.
Inside of the front apron.
Some more work to do on the bottom lip.
Will do some metal prep on the front area of the car and replace the master cylinder shelf area...then reassemble!


Equator gauging systems have helped to improve yield and increase process capabilities of production lines around the world, by providing high accuracy dimensional inspection data next to turning and machining centres, at the point of manufacture. The new larger Equator 500 system now enables the gauging of larger parts, with a working volume of 500 mm in diameter and up to 400 mm in height.
Both Equator 300 and 500 systems are accurate between 5 ºC and 50 ºC at any rate of temperature change, and are capable of scanning speeds in excess of 200 mm/s. Every system is compatible with simple-to-use Organiser operator software, EZ-IO software for automation, and IPC (intelligent process control) software for updating tool offsets on CNC machine tools.
The Equator 500 has a gauging volume of 500 mm diameter in the X/Y plane and 250 mm in Z when used with the SM25-2 scanning module. This can be expanded to 400 mm in Z with the SM25-3 scanning module, which allows styli up to 200 mm in length to reach many more features. The base of Equator 500 supports workpiece and fixturing with a total weight limit of 100 kg. The ratio of gauging volume to footprint means that the machine is extremely space efficient, with a footprint of just 920 mm by 924 mm. This allows manufacturers of larger parts to easily fit Equator 500 onto the shop floor alongside their production machines.
Typical applications include the manufacture of car and truck transmission and engine casings, drive-train parts like conrods and differential housings, suspension castings, pressed parts, valves and pumps.
Most users of Equator systems need short cycle times to maximise throughput from their manufacturing processes. Both Equator 300 and 500 systems, while maintaining high levels of repeatability, are capable of rapid scans and high speed touch points on a wide variety of features. Years of customer experience with Equator systems have proven the capability to gauge size, position and geometry on a single device. This can eliminate the need to stabilise parts to the temperature of the quality room prior to measuring geometry and form of critical features.
Climatic conditions can result in variable daily and seasonal temperature cycles. For example, early in the morning a cold machine shop can increase in temperature due to both external conditions and machinery heating up. The system has been proven to cope with this by re-mastering, meaning that accurate gauging can start as soon as the first part has been produced and continue regardless of how conditions change.
The Equator range is compatible with new IPC software which allows constant monitoring and automatic adjustment of a machining operation, keeping part dimensions close to nominal and well within process control limits. This correction of process drift improves part quality and manufacturing capability, and reduces scrap. The proximity of the Equator gauge to the CNC process allows adjustment at the point of manufacture, avoiding time delays or reliance on finished part (tailgate) inspection. An Equator gauging system can be connected to one or multiple CNC machine tool controllers.
IPC software can average results from several parts to determine the true process mean for adjustment of critical cutting tools. For process control purposes, often only one machined feature per cutting tool will require gauging, in contrast with the many features inspected for typical Quality Assurance (QA) applications. The frequency and magnitude of offset updates can be configured on a feature-by-feature basis depending on design tolerances, process variation and tool wear rates.
IPC is an integral function of Equator Process Monitor software, using recent historical gauging data to determine process corrections. Connection to a compatible machine tool can be as simple as connecting an Ethernet cable from the Equator controller to a CNC machine.
The ability to correct a process automatically with IPC software eliminates the potential for manual data entry errors, and removes the requirement for an expert to decipher traditional measurement reports into a process correction value at the CNC machine.
The new EQ-ATS Equator Automatic Transfer Systems, for Equator 300 and Equator 500, allow parts to be loaded on to a fixture plate in front of the gauge, and transferred in and out of the measuring volume under automatic program control. They can be used for either manual loading by operators, cranes or fork-lifts, or robot loading in an automated cell, protecting the Equator gauge from accidental damage. EQ-ATS is easily integrated, bolting directly on to the base of the Equator gauge.
The Equator gauging system is unique in its design and method of operation. The speed and temperature range benefits of the Equator 300 system are now available for larger parts with the Equator 500, further expanding the capability of Renishaw's flexible gauging range.

Die Alarmkanonen in Stade, auch Flutkanonen genannt, wurden zur Warnung vor Hochwasser abgefeuert.

Die Tradition des Alarmschießens bei Hochwasser stammt wahrscheinlich aus der Schwedenzeit. 1747 wird es zum ersten Mal erwähnt. Die drei heute noch existierenden Kanonen stammen aus der ersten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts. Sie standen zuerst auf der Burgbastion. Durch den Ausbau des Neuen Hafens ab 1880 wurde die Burgbastion teilweise abgetragen und die Kanonen auf dem westlichen Schwingedeich neben die Harschenflether Schleuse verlegt.

Die Kanonen wurden bei 2 m über NN zum ersten Mal abgefeuert. Drei Schüsse wurden abgefeuert bei 2,5 m über NN und 6 Schüsse bei 3 m über NN. Während der französischen Besetzung und dem 2. Weltkrieg war das Alarmschießen verboten. Das letzte Mal wurden die Kanonen zur Sturmflut von 1962 abgefeuert.

Seit 1971 befinden sich die Kanonen im Besitz des Stader Geschichts- und Heimatvereins. Sie stehen zurzeit hinter dem Schwedenspeicher in Richtung der Schwingemündung.

Southpaw launches ghd's global 'Pink' campaign for cancer charities worldwide
Jul 26, 2019, 10:36 amComments Off on Southpaw launches ghd's global 'Pink' campaign for cancer charities worldwide
ghd and creative agency Southpaw have launched the styling brand's 15th annual 'Pink' campaign, in partnership with cancer charities worldwide.
This year's emotive campaign features tattoo artist David Allen, who has spent 10 years working with breast cancer survivors to create tattoos that conceal mastectomy scars. The work will feature women who have had mastectomy tattoos by David, and how having these artworks has made them feel – with the tagline: 'My tattoo, my story'.
David's designs have been displayed at MoMa in New York – and appear on this year's limited edition ghd platinum+ and ghd gold® styler. As part of the campaign, £10 from every styler sold will go to cancer charities around the world. Breast Cancer Now is the appointed charity for the UK.
Southpaw is handling the creative execution and content delivery for the campaign, including a high end key visual for use across print, digital, social and POS, as well as a 20'' video for digital, a BTC (Behind the Campaign) video for PR, cinemagraphs and bumper.
The work will run in the US, Europe, Asia, Australasia and South Africa and will span digital, social media, print and in-store for three months from yesterday's launch.
Montse Passolas, Senior Vice-President global Marketing, at ghd, said: "So many people know someone who has been affected by breast cancer and know how much it impacts on women's lives. Among many other aspects, it also affects the perceptions of femininity, particularly around hair loss and mastectomy. With Southpaw, we created a project that draws awareness on the cause and how David Allen's tattoos can make some women feel empowered and in control of their bodies again. We feel honoured that Grace, Molly and David have shared their stories with us and we can share them across the world"
Tom Poynter, CEO at Southpaw, said: "The partnership between David and ghd gave us the opportunity to tell some remarkable, emotional stories around this difficult issue. David's artwork is incredible, as are the stories of the women who have his tattoos. The campaign is ambitious and ghd's biggest yet – running across five global markets. It has the opportunity to make a huge difference in terms of fundraising for a huge number of cancer charities."

What are the new rules about planning decisions at Lancashire County Council?
Lancashire County Council makes planning decisions about planning applications including fracking.
New limits are to be introduced on how long members of the public can address planning meetings at Lancashire County Council.
County Hall's development control committee makes decisions about waste and minerals applications – including fracking. The cross-party group also adjudicates on proposals being put forward by the council itself, which often include applications involving Lancashire's schools.
At the moment, organised groups can request 30-minute presentation sessions with committee members where they can make their case for or against a planning bid. An unlimited number of individual members of the public can also speak for up to four minutes at the meeting where decisions are made.
Under the new arrangements, the half hour presentations would be scrapped and the slots to address the committee reduced to three minutes – with a maximum of 15 speakers in favour and 15 against.
A meeting of the full council heard that the authority is currently far more generous than most others in the time it allows for members of the public to speak.
But opposition members rounded on the proposals. Labour's Steve Holgate said that members of the public have "valuable local knowledge which even some elected members do not have available to them".
And Liberal Democrat David Howarth warned that the most complex applications needed far more than three minutes for all the issues to be aired.
"Are you really saying we can put all the arguments for and against something like the Penwortham Bypass in three minutes?" he asked.
Members heard that there have been no cases within the past three years where debate would have been curtailed by the new rule about the maximum number of speakers.
"The vast majority of decisions will be unaffected, because 30-minute presentations are also very rarely used," cabinet member for regeneration, Michael Green, added.
He raised the prospect of "exceptions" being needed for the most significant decisions and said the proposal made provision for that and would be kept under review.
Independent member for Fylde West, Paul Hayhurst, recalled the week-long deliberations when the authority ultimately rejected Cuadrilla's two fracking applications at Preston New Road and Roseacre Wood back in 2015.
"There'd have been riots if we had tried to limit [the public's contribution] to three minutes," he said.
And lone Green county councillor Gina Dowding warned that the ruling Conservative group would be "embarrassed" when the public learned the council was "not prepared to spend half an hour listening to them".
The public will now be allowed to submit a limited number of relevant photographs to the committee. Detailed written submissions will summarised in a report for members.
Fellow Conservative, Cosima Towneley said that any written statements should be "technical and tactile enough for officers to understand what the actual issues are".
An amendment by former chair of the development control committee, Labour's Kevin Ellard, to allow the committee itself to have a say on the new arrangements before full council made its decision about them, was defeated.


Here is a picture of the Rapunzel brooch underway, inspired by Hockney's Grimm fairytale etchings. This is my second attempt; having originally tried working on a flat piece, the metal has been etched and hammered to take on a more three dimensional appearance.
I'm very excited to be starting work on a new piece for a show dedicated to David Hockney at the @work jewellery gallery in Pimlico. I visited the Salts Mill gallery near Bradford, which houses a large collection of his work, on a school trip when I was fourteen. It was the first time I saw his series of Grimms etchings and they have stayed with me ever since.
@work is run by Adele Tipler and Joanna Butler and is packed full of brilliant contemporary jewellery by independent makers so coming up with the goods is going to be a challenge, here goes!

A simple and sensitive doctor
It would be quiet indispensable to highlight the simplicity and sensitivity among the virtues that were always with him without putting away his iron character when it was needed. Those who knew him remember him for such personality traits. He was considered a very demanding man with others and himself, an example of willingness and humanism. In August 1960, he talked about some of his experiences as a graduated medical student and others he had while travelling throughout some countries of America: "I started to be in contact with misery, hunger, and diseases being incapable of assisting a boy because of the lack of medicines (…) but I was still, as all of us are, son of the society. I wanted to help those people with my own personal effort." Perhaps, that experience made him get to the conclusion that a Revolution must come first in order to be a revolutionary doctor. Therefore, he didn't hesitate at the time of the guerrilla struggle in the Sierra Maestra, not even a minute when he had to choose between his rifle and bullets or his knapsack with medicines due to his daily asthma attacks which didn't let him carry a heavy load on his shoulders. Perhaps, that's why he tried to develop a strong body in times of peace, but not with the artistic work of a physician on a weak organism. He intended to develop that strong body through the support of many social factors. That calling to solidarity that he proclaimed and proved with his own example was also presented here.

Q: Git Ignores and Maven targets Anyone know if it is possible to ignore all the instances of a particular directory in a file structure managed by git.
I'm looking to exclude all the 'target' folders in a maven project with a number of submodules. I know I can explicitly exclude each of them in a top level .gitignore, but I'd really like to be able to specify a pattern like **/target/* there to have it automatically ignore the instance in sub directories?
Is this possible?

A: As already pointed out in comments by Abhijeet you can just add line like:
/target/**

to exclude file in \.git\info\ folder.
Then if you want to get rid of that target folder in your remote repo you will need to first manually delete this folder from your local repository, commit and then push it. Thats because git will show you content of a target folder as modified at first.

A: add following lines in gitignore, from all undesirable files
/target/
*/target/**
**/META-INF/
!.mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.jar

### STS ###
.apt_generated
.classpath
.factorypath
.project
.settings
.springBeans
.sts4-cache

### IntelliJ IDEA ###
.idea
*.iws
*.iml
*.ipr

### NetBeans ###
/nbproject/private/
/build/
/nbbuild/
/dist/
/nbdist/
/.nb-gradle/

A: The .gitignore file in the root directory does apply to all subdirectories.  Mine looks like this:
.classpath
.project
.settings/
target/

This is in a multi-module maven project. All the submodules are imported as individual eclipse projects using m2eclipse.  I have no further .gitignore files.  Indeed, if you look in the gitignore man page:

Patterns read from a .gitignore file
  in the same directory as the path, or
  in any parent directory…

So this should work for you.

A: I ignore all classes residing in target folder from git.
add following line in open .gitignore file:
/.class
OR
*/target/**
It is working perfectly for me. try it.

A: It is possible to use patterns in a .gitignore file. See the gitignore man page. The pattern */target/* should ignore any directory named target and anything under it. Or you may try */target/** to ignore everything under target.

A: For the Spring Tool Suite, Add the following ignore resources to .gitignore file and commit into the repository
*.classpath
*.class
*.prefs
*.jar
*.lst
*.project
*.factorypath
*.original
target/
.settings/
.apt_generated
.sts4-cache
.springBeans

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minneapolis police officer who shot and killed an unarmed woman who approached his squad car minutes after calling 911 was caught up in "a perfect storm" of events but "acted as he was trained," his attorney argued Monday.
Prosecutors countered that Mohamed Noor was responsible for "a tragic event of his own making" in 2017 when he shot Justine Ruszczyk Damond, a life coach who had called 911 when she heard a possible rape in the alley behind her home. They urged jurors to find Noor guilty on all counts.
The case went to the jury almost a month after jury selection began in a catastrophic shooting that prompted anger and disbelief in the U.S. and abroad.
Noor, who was fired after he was charged , faces two counts of murder and one of manslaughter. The jury broke for the day Monday evening without a quick verdict and was to return Tuesday morning. Jurors are sequestered until reaching a verdict.
Noor's attorney, Thomas Plunkett, launched his closing by banging on his lectern, shouting a profanity and yelling, "Pow!"
Plunkett was recreating testimony by Noor that he heard a loud bang right before Damond approached his squad car, followed by his partner swearing and struggling to pull out his gun. Noor testified he saw Damond raise her right arm before he fired.
"It's the perfect storm," Plunkett said. "That is the whole case."
He urged jurors to look at the precise moment of the shooting, without the benefit of hindsight, and consider whether a reasonable officer would do the same thing when confronted by the same factors as Noor.
"Mr. Noor acted as he was trained. He acted as a reasonable police officer," Plunkett said.
Earlier, prosecutor Amy Sweasy attacked Noor's credibility and questioned his claim that he and partner Matthew Harrity heard a loud noise that startled them just before a woman appeared at Harrity's window. Noor testified that he saw a woman raise her arm and he fired to save Harrity's life.
Sweasy reminded jurors of the chaotic aftermath of the shooting, with responding officers trying to figure out what had happened. She said that's when the notion of a loud bang emerged, calling it a theory that took on a life of its own.
She noted that neither Noor nor Harrity mentioned the bang at the scene, with Harrity first talking about it three days later in an interview with a state investigator, and pointed out that Damond's fingerprints were not found on the squad car.
"There is no conclusive proof she ever touched that car," Sweasy said.
Neither officer had their body cams turned on until after the shooting and there was no dash cam video, either.
She also took issue with Noor's testimony that he saw fear in Harrity's eyes as Damond appeared at the window, that Harrity said "Oh Jesus!" and that Harrity was struggling to pull his gun when Noor fired.
"Whatever Harrity said or did, it was not a command for the defendant to shoot and kill Ms. Ruszczyk," Sweasy said.
Noor faces three counts, including second-degree intentional murder, which is the most serious, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. For the intentional murder count, Sweasy said, Noor knew he was shooting at a person, intended to shoot at her, and knew death would result. She said Noor put his finger on the trigger, aimed and shot Damond — with the intent of stopping the threat.
Both Plunkett and Sweasy explained that officers are authorized to use deadly force to protect themselves or someone else from apparent death or great bodily harm. The standard that must be applied is whether a reasonable police officer would use the same level of force in the same situation, without the benefit of hindsight.
Plunkett said Noor made an objectively reasonable decision, and it ended up being a tragedy, not a crime.
"Regardless of your decision, Mr. Noor is going to have to live with the fact that he took an innocent life," Plunkett told the jury.
After closings, Judge Kathryn Quaintance dismissed alternate jurors, leaving a jury of 10 men and two women. Half the jurors, including both women, are people of color.
The death of Damond, 40, a life coach who was engaged to be married a month after the shooting, sparked outrage in both the U.S. and Australia, cost Minneapolis' police chief her job and contributed to the electoral defeat of the city's mayor a few months later.
Noor, 33, is a Somali American who became a police officer with a mid-career switch from jobs in the business world. He broke more than 1½ years of silence about the shooting when he testified in his defense last week, saying he became a police officer because he "wanted to serve."
His hiring two years before the shooting was celebrated by Minneapolis leaders as a sign of a diversifying police force in a city with a large population of Somali immigrants.
Neither officer had a body camera running when Damond was shot, something Harrity blamed on what he called a vague policy that didn't require it. The department toughened the policy after Damond's death to require that the cameras be turned on when responding to a call.

THIS WHOLE THING STINKS. Why were the body cams off when they were responding to a possible crime? Policies were not followed. This gives all of our hard working brave police a bad image. I believe from previous stories the policeman that shot did so from the passenger seat out the drivers side I am sure the driver or other officer had to clean his shorts. It would be interesting to see all the facts.

Oh. I thought it would be some kind of eco friendly raygun.
trigger itself looks misplaced. you have to squeeze the middle, it could be fired at the wrong time with a mistaken touch ? i like the idea, not sure if everyone would be a super shot at the time of danger..
to be honest i thought it was an ear cleaner, and once you are done with it you aim the garbage n shoot.


It is often, occasionally followed by a wave of hand, that one advises or talks of "jar" (packaged java files that makes up an application or module) files as being signed.
Few times we ask back: "What do you mean by signed"?
What does it mean for a jar file to be signed?
Does this signing has parallels to how we sign physical documents? Do they differ? How do they differ if they do?
How do you establish a "pattern? of understanding for digital signatures so that you treat the subject abstractly just like when someone says they signed a physical document?

1. In a large bowl, mix together chocolate cake batter, with 1/4 water, 1/4 cup oil, and 2 eggs. Beat for 2 minutes. For the strawberry batter, mix together the vanilla cake mix, strawberry puree (just mash or blend fresh strawberries), 1/4 cup of water, 1/4 cup of oil, and 2 eggs. Blend for 2 minutes.
2. Using an ice cream scoop, spoon each flavor batter onto a cook sheet lined with parchment paper. Be sure to leave plenty of space in between. The batter will nearly double in size!
3. Bake at 350˚ for about 10-12 minutes of until firm. Make sure not to under cook them or they will become sticky and hard to handle.
4. Remove from oven and let cool for about 10-15 minutes.
5. While whoopie pies are cooling, fill your piping bag using a large star tip, with marshmallow fluff.
6. When the pies are cooled, take on into your hand, flat side up, and pipe marshmallow fluff around the edge and then fill in the center. Top your pie with the opposite flavor and you're done!
7. Store remaining cake mix for another batch, or double the recipe if you're feeding a crowd.
These neapolitan whoopie pies are super delicious and easy to make because I cheat and use cake mix! ????
These tri-colored beauties were inspired by neapolitan ice cream but in a way that doesn't really have to do with ice cream at all… it has to do with a song by local ukulele player and singer Chris Higbee. Have you heard of him?? Know what song I'm talking about? If you said "Neapolitan Ice Cream" you're right! If you have no clue what I'm talking about, you can check out Chris Higbee's song here, on YouTube. The song has a nice wholesome message, sung in true blunt-and-simple country music fashion.
And whoopie pies are kind of a Pennsylvania thing. If you've never had one, you might be asking what is a whoopie pie? Well, it's not actually a pie at all. If you break it down they're just cake in the shape of a cookie with icing in the middle. So almost like a cupcake sandwich.
So how in the heck did they even get their name them? Well, the story goes, whoopie pies were made from leftover cake batter and icing. When kids discovered these packed in their lunch boxes the next day, they exclaimed "whoopie!" It's a cute story and if you're curious to know more about the history of the whoopie pie, you can read more about it and how Maine and Pennsylvania kind of both take credit for the whoopie pie.
Ready to get to the whoopie pie already?
A few more things you might want to know and then let's do this!
1.) If you know me at all by now, then you know I like to simplify everything because who has time to do things that take longer than 30 minutes? Not me! So boxed cake for the win here. I have yet to taste a homemade cake that's better than a boxed cake mix. Oh, the hate I'm sure to get from real bakers for saying that but it's TRUE. At least for me. So until I'm proved wrong, I will keep baking with boxed mixes.
Baker's Joy – I am not a spokesperson for this stuff but I should be! I tell everyone about it because it's a game-changer. It's basically the spray buter of the baking work. I mean, it is spray butter, but is has flour in it so baked things don't stick to it. Think Bundt cake, regular cakes, brownies, anything cakey basically. So yeah, get some of this and you'll thank me later.
Silicon baking sheet and pan set – This is annoying but it's really hard to find silicon pads that actually fit into your baking sheet. So, if you can swing it, this set is ideal. If you deal with a lot of burnt bottoms, then this is what you're missing.
Piping bag and tips set – If you do any amount of baking, you're going to want a piping bag. It just make icing things so much easier and better looking. Might as well get a big set of tips to start otherwise you'll be buying the piece-meal and that's much more expensive.


There are few things you should consider before buying reading spectacles online in Korea. First you have to decide whether you really need a pair of glasses and even if you need them then you have to decide under what conditions you will use them. It is quite clear that no body will use reading glasses for fun. There are people who need glasses only when they read something. If you have problems in reading and you are suffering from headaches then you have to consider getting spectacles. You can buy the Korean spectacles either online or from any optometrist. First you have to choose the style of glasses you want to go for. You have to choose the frame you want such as half frames, rimless, titanium frames, frames studded with gems, plastic frames and so on.
Then you have to choose the best lenses that are suited for your lifestyle. For example people with both near and far vision disorders should go for bifocal or multifocal lenses which can grade your vision from distant to near objects in one lens. These lenses can be also referred to as progressive lenses and it should be kept in mind that getting adapted to these lenses might take some time. Moreover these lenses do not have the distinguishing line on the lens and thus they look like single vision lenses. These lenses are not capable of providing very good peripheral or side vision and thus people who are interested in taking glasses solely for reading purpose should go for single vision glasses.
Bifocal lenses which are mainly used to correct the problem of presbyopia. This is a vision disorder which usually tends to arise after 40 years of age. When a person is diagnosed with presbyopia it is difficult for them to focus on close objects. This is when one can take the help of bifocals. The first of them are the single Vision Lens which is mainly characterized with having the same power from the top to the bottom of the lens. People suffering from astigmatism, presbyopia and myopia can go for the use of these lenses in order to correct these vision problems.
You have to see whether you need photocromic lenses or computer glasses when you are a regular computer user or the type of tint that you prefer on your lens. You have to choose a frame depending upon your face shape and the frame color should suit your shin tone and complexion. Now you should enter the prescription provided by your optometrist on the form provided in the website and then order the glasses.
Did you know that musculoskeletal disorders represent the most common cause for physical disability in the US? With the total treatment costs exceeding US$800 billion annually, the treatment of common conditions such as neck pain and back pain are a huge burden on the population suffering with it.
Few people are aware that they can enjoy 45-55% saving in overall treatment costs when they choose a top chiropractor. If you are wondering, where you can seek this form of treatment, read on.
Has back pain, neck pain or headache stopped you in your tracks? Are you frustrated and depressed because of the pain in your body? We understand that a life with pain could cause immense frustration, and painkillers might not always be the best solution. Not just that, surgery and medication could turn out to be costly and risky for certain conditions as well. That's why we want to introduce you to the chiropractic approach of dealing with pain. Eliminate pain and banish stress with chiropractic treatment for the various conditions including spinal disc syndrome, neck pain, back pain, pinch nerve, spine injury, and many more conditions.
The common types of pain (as reported in a National Institute of Health Statistics survey) are low-back pain (28.1 percent), severe headache/migraine (16.1 percent) and neck pain (15.1 percent). The health care discipline of chiropractic gives particular attention to the neurological and structural components of your body and can help deal with the common types of pain in an effective manner. The top chiropractor has the potential to improve a wide variety of complaints. Spinal column adjustments are commonly used together with therapeutic exercises and lifestyle counseling for a particular condition.
Do you agree that the nervous system is the master control system of the body? Then, you will know that taking good care of your spine will help you live a healthier life.
The most common ingredient in all of these wrinkle removing creams is Collagen. This is a man-made synthetic cosmetic ingredient made from mostly natural proteins. It has proven to be perfectly safe and is extremely effective in the reduction of facial wrinkles.
In any case it is reassuring to know that you will not have to spend thousands of pounds on surgery. Most creams like Lift Gold will sell for well under $100 so even after prolonged use it is still a cost-effective approach. Another consideration is that by using anti-ageing creams you will be maintaining the natural integrity of your facial structure, something that surgery cannot do.
When it comes to purchasing the best face lifting creams such as Lift Gold you want to be sure what you are getting it for the best price. These days the best way to Lift Gold comprar is to look for an online purchase. Websites selling these products are able to avoid the overheads that many retail shops have to pass on to their customers.
Exercises that use weights, bands or bodyweight are called resistance or strength exercises. Including these exercises builds lean muscle. More muscle = faster metabolism! As we age we begin to lose muscle, UNLESS you put a stop to it.
Interval training is a fancy way of saying: "Go fast then go slow." These exercises have been found to burn more fat in less time than traditional cardio (maintaining a constant speed). They also tell your body to continue burning fat and maintaining lean muscle for LONG after your workout.
These are the MOST EFFECTIVE exercises proven by science to increase your metabolism and lead to higher rates of fat burn even when you are resting!
As we age our body begins to breakdown muscle and slow our metabolic rate. This happens partly because of the attack of free radicals. Free radicals come from places like the environment, foods, and even exercise. They are the major cause of age related effects such as wrinkles and can contribute to weight gain. To fight these rascals we must include enough Antioxidants in our diet.
Over time toxins build up inside of our body and can lead to disease and especially a slower metabolism! Many toxins are stored in our fat, but as you begin to burn more fat they can be released in your system slowing your weight loss. Find out what can help to detox and balance your body.
Women already know what happens when menopause strikes. However, that belly that just won't go away is not inevitable! Your hormones have changed, but certain foods and exercises can help to get your body burning fat again instead of storing it! Learn how to increase your metabolism after menopause and prevent that unwanted belly fat.
These are all great Remedios caseros para acelerar el metabolismo that anyone can follow and live a healthier life.
In order for your cells to burn calories efficiently, they need essential nutrients everyday. In our face paced diet, we are missing many of these essentials. The result of this lack is seen by the rates of disease and obesity that are affecting the United States. But not all multivitamins have it all!
Protect your lean muscle and mitochondria from damage with the best free radical fighters. Antioxidants can come in all shapes and sizes – find out which ones will increase metabolism.
Omega 3 fats tell your body how to increase your metabolism and burn more fat! However, 99% of Americans are deficient!! Because of they way many foods are grown, we no longer get enough in our diet. Choose an organic Omega 3 supplement to boost your metabolism.
Did you know that the food you eat talks to your genes? Well, it does! But, some of us have small changes in our genes (called SNP's) that can greatly effect how your body responds to certain things. Now there is an in-home test you can use to find out of you have any of these SNP's.
Exercising in an intense manner helps to increase height. If you indulge into ten minutes of intense work out, it will help in the increase of nitric oxide, nerve acidity, lactate and adrenalin. With the increase of the above aspects, growth hormone production gets stimulated. This stimulation takes place during the exercise period and even during the period when you are resting. However, you have to make sure that you drink lots of water because lack of water may cause dehydration and it reduces the production of growth hormone. This is one of the effective natural ways to grow taller.
Equipment that are needed for knee and spine exercises such as inversion boots and table, stationary bike, weightlifting wrist wraps, ankle weights and door gym, can help you to grow taller. If you have passed the age when vertical growth takes place, doing knee exercises can help to grow height. Some common exercises for natural growth of height are sprints, hanging and stretching.
Pituitary gland releases growth hormone and this release is at its peak after a good night sleep. Make sure that you sleep at least eight hours in a day and help your body to increase height naturally. Make your sleeping environment as comfortable as possible so that you can get proper sleep and grow taller.
Eating right food is essential to increase height. Food that includes fats and carbohydrates are not good if you wish to grow taller because fats and carbs disengage growth hormones. So, cut out the food habits that include carbs and fats such as junk foods, caffeine, alcohol, etc.
There are many health supplements in the market that claim to increase height easily. However, you have to be cautious because not all health supplements are safe. You can consider those supplements that are made of natural ingredients so that there is no possibility of side effects. You can opt for calcium supplements so that your bones get thicker and dense. Supplements of Vitamin C and D help in the absorption of calcium and it leads to growth of bone. Supplements of chondroitin and glucosamine increases cartilage, bones and also helps to grow taller.
The fastest way to increase your height is to use lift height insoles. You just place them in your shoes and you instantly gain 3 inches in height. There are different types and sizes to accommodate everyone needs. These height insoles are very comfortable to wear and will definitely make you look and feel much better.
While we may like to think that we are not completely caught up in our self image, it is actually completely natural to be concerned with our self image as this factor very much has a direct impact on our level of personal self esteem and can definitely have a direct impact on our quality of life.
And ones' self esteem paired with the way that others perceive their physical image has actually been shown to be a significant determinant of success in many different arenas of our lives.
This is especially true when it comes to our hair and balding issues. Fortunately, there is a wide variety of new methods that both men and women can look into that will help them to successfully address this important issue. One of the leading approaches that both men and women have been able to take advantage of is DHT shampoo, DHT blocker.
That is because countless cases of hair loss in both men and women have been linked to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This actually sources as a derivative from the male hormone testosterone.However, what seems to surprise many people is that despite being a predominately male based hormone, this hormone can definitely still be found in women as well. And the reason that DHT shampoo, DHT blocker products have proven to be so wildly successful is because they actively prevent DHT from doing its damage to your scalp.
The reason countless women and men have been able to get some great hair loss prevention results from the latest DHT Thinning hair shampoo and DHT blocker products is because these shampoos are specially formulated in order to prevent the DHT hormones from actively attacking your hair follicles.
The reason that DHT is so bad for your hair is because it actually attacks the site of your hair follicles. When it does this, it actually shrinks the hair follicle and prevents your hair from growing in those spots. But a proper DHT shampoo, DHT blocker will help to make sure that the DHT is not allowed to have free reign on your hair follicles, allowing optimal hair growth conditions to prevail.


ACH Geofoam was used on the roof of the parking garage at the California Academy of Sciences to provide an inviting landscape for the academy's main entrance.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - The California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco is completing a transformation this coming September. Its innovative design has already gained international recognition as a cultural icon. Under one Living Roof, the new Academy contains a planetarium, aquarium and natural history museum. The Academy expects to be the largest public LEED platinum building in the world (LEED status won't be determined until fall of 2009).
In keeping with the Academy's natural environment, the architects, SWA Group, wanted to plant grass and trees on the top of the underground parking garage, creating an inviting, green entry into the Academy.
The subcontractor, Jensen Corporation, chose ACH Technologies to supply 3,700 cubic yards of Geofoam. "ACH was chosen because they were willing to make such large quantities of the material to spec at short notice, and came highly recommended because of the quality of their product," said James Zavala, estimator for Jensen.
Because of the vastness of construction going on around the area (the Academy spans more than 2 1/2 acres for exhibition, educational and office space), some of the area for the parking garage was not prepared for delivery of the huge quantities of Geofoam. "All in all, we had 40 trucks of material that had to be delivered," said Zavala. "ACH cut the 4x8ft blocks down to perfect 6", 12", 24"and 3' sizes.
"Because the area had not been fully prepared, we had to stage the deliveries, and ACH offered to stockpile the pieces at their own warehouse for us. We had 40 trucks total, with 2-3 truckfuls being delivered at a time. Given the logistics involved, it was pretty amazing that we were able to stay on schedule. By ACH's willingness to cut and store the blocks for us, we able to avoid a logistic nightmare," said Zavala.
ACH Foam Technologies offers a Geofoam Seminar which earns PDH and AIA CEU learning credits. For a schedule of seminar offerings, email info@achfoam.com or call 800.525.8697.
