Family reaps benefits of sheep industry
Written by Liz LeSatz
Riverton – In most families the parents' interests end up transferring to their children, but in the case of the VonKrosigk family, it was the children who brought home the sheep breed that became a big part of the family.
Dean and Charleen VonKrosigk are well known and well-respected in the sheep industry for their purebred Targhee sheep. They were introduced to the breed after their kids starting showing in 4-H. It was Barney Cosner, a Fremont County extension agent at the time, who encouraged the VonKrosigk children to try Targhees and in 1977 Dean and Charleen started their own purebred flock.
Now over 30 years later, the Targhee breed has not only given the VonKrosigks a name in the Wyoming sheep industry, but has given the family an opportunity to gain friends and grow together.
As ranchers in the Riverton area, Dean and Charleen have raised Shorthorn cattle and other sheep breeds in their 48-year marriage, but it is the Targhees that have evolved as a lasting part of the family's operation. Dean grew up on the VonKrosigk farm, which his family has owned since 1934. He and Charleen then raised their three sons and one daughter on the operation and over the years have kept agriculture values instilled in their 12 grandkids and one great granddaughter.
For the VonKrosigks, their Targhee sheep have always been a family affair. Kids and grandkids have been involved in raising, showing and everything in between.
"We would've quit a long time ago if it hadn't been for the grandkids staying in it and wanting to go," says Dean.
Throughout the years the Targhee sheep have brought the VonKrosigk family closer together. Charleen says their lives in the sheep industry have instilled agriculture values in their children and grandchildren. She says being close to the land has given their kids a more solid base.
"The thing I've enjoyed the most is all these years at national sales there was only one time we didn't have our own kids or grandkids with us," says Charleen.
The family has even taken "vacations" each year since the 1970s to travel to national Targhee shows. The VonKrosigks have only been absent from two shows since then. Dean says those two missed shows were an attempt to slow down. "We tried to slow down but that didn't work," he says. "We just got right back in."
VonKrosigk sheep have been doing well at national shows for years and this year was no exception. The 2008 National Targhee Association Sale in Brookings, S.D. saw the Wyoming breeders walking away with Champion Ram, Champion Ewe, Champion Pen of Two Ewes and Premier Breeder.
The VonKrosigk name is also a familiar one at the Fremont County Fair and Wyoming State Fair where children, grandchildren and now their great-granddaughter have shown. Charleen still shows and came away with the Overall Champion Fleece at the state fair wool barn.
The friends made along the way have also been a source of joy for the VonKrosigks. Charleen says they've been in all but six states in the nation because of the national shows and sales.
"That's the only reason as farmers that we travel," says Charleen. "It's like a reunion where we see the friends we've made through the years."
The VonKrosigk Targhees have been a valuable asset from the beginning. The Targhee breed got its start at the U.S. Experiment Station in Dubois, Idaho when crossbreeding between Rambouillets, Columbias, Corriedales and other breeds produced the "ideal range breed," says Dean. The VonKrosigks' success with the breed speaks for itself with the breed doing well at national sales and at the Wyoming Ram Sale.
"The Targhees have a large loin and are dual purposed," says Dean of the breed used for both wool and meat.
Dean says the breed has a good spinning count with numbers 58 and up. He also says the Targhees' twinning and milking ability has been a big boost to the breed's success and he tries to emphasize those characteristics in his own flock.
Even though money can be hard to come by in agriculture, Charleen says they've justified the traveling to shows and all the work put into the Targhees because the animals have always paid well. Several of the VonKrosigk grandkids reaped the benefit of Targhee sheep by selling their sheep to pay for college.
Although the VonKrosigks show their Targhees, Dean says their priority has never been to win ribbons in the arena. They would rather focus their efforts on raising quality range animals.
"Our rams do well at national shows, but they are still just raised with the other range rams," says Dean. "It just so happens that those are the rams we pick to take. Everything is geared toward raising range rams."
The foundation Targhees the VonKrosigks raise have been emphasized as a range breed and that's something Dean says has kept the breed pure and successful. He says over the years the Targhee has changed very little making it a reliable breed that sticks to the basics.
"We have good buyers," says Charleen. "That's a reward for our efforts when they keep coming back year after year.
The VonKrosigks also like seeing their customers do well in the market place.
"We smile if people who buy lambs from us get the premium of the month for the Mountain States Lamb Cooperative," says Dean. Monthly the MSLC recognizes the top performing lambs for the month in their newsletter.
Dean and Charleen believe in helping carry on the Targhee breed and have been instrumental in helping aspiring producers gain a foothold. The couple has donated sheep on three occasions to the Wyoming Youth Flock program and Charleen says it is rewarding to see those youth still involved with Targhees today.
As for the future of the sheep industry, Dean says he hopes it maintains and producers can continue to address challenges. No matter what the future holds for the sheep industry, Dean and Charleen, along with the VonKrosigk Targhees, will have a hand in its direction and will support future Wyoming sheep producers.

Feeding Ewes: Tweaking feed can increase ewe production efficiency
Written by Gayle Smith
Although ewes can typically graze most of the year and meet their nutritional requirements, during critical points in their production cycle some supplementation may be needed, according to a North Dakota State University sheep extension specialist.
During the recent webinar, "How Much to Feed Sheep," Reid Redden explained to producers how overfeeding ewes can be as detrimental as underfeeding them.
"The old way of feeding, that more is better, doesn't necessarily work anymore since alfalfa is no longer $125 a ton and corn three to four dollars a bushel," he said. "With feed costs as high as they are, sheep producers have to become more efficient feeding their ewes to not only maintain productivity, but to stay in business."
One of the most important questions to consider when supplementing ewes is what stage of production they are in.
"There is a drastic difference in nutritional requirements depending upon their stage of production," he explained. "Ewes are in maintenance at least four months of the year. During those periods, their maintenance requirements are very low, and they don't require much."
"Mostly, additional supplementation is needed to meet nutritional requirements during relatively short periods of time throughout the year," Redden continued. "We should be able to maximize feed during those periods and still get good production from the ewes."
Feeding in gestation
Early gestation, late gestation, lambing and flushing are periods when ewes may need some additional supplementation, Redden said.
"Gestation is the most critical feeding period for sheep. If we overfeed or underfeed the ewes, there can be some detrimental effects," he added.
During early gestation, Redden said a ewe's nutritional requirements are only slightly above its maintenance requirements. But those requirements are higher by late gestation and may increase even more at lambing depending on if the ewe is carrying twins.
"If the ewe is over or underfed during the first 60 days of pregnancy, it will affect how the placenta develops," Redden explained. "If the placenta is improperly developed, it doesn't matter how well we feed the ewe in late gestation, those lambs will not develop properly."
A lot of fetal growth also takes place the last 60 days, so if the ewe isn't properly fed, it can affect how the lamb develops. Embryonic loss, birth weight, lamb vigor, colostrum production, milk production, lamb mortality and reduced weaning weights are all influenced by how the ewe is fed, Redden relayed.
"I don't recommend underfeeding ewes after lambing, either," he continued. "Especially for the first 60 days."
However, one period he advises producers to consider cutting back is a week prior to weaning.
"It will cut back milk production, helping the ewes dry up sooner and prevent mastitis issues," he explained.
Available feed
To calculate a least cost ration, Redden said producers will need to research what types of feed are available in their area and are the most economical. Producers should consider forages and grains, but also byproducts like distiller's grains, beet pulp and corn stover.
To develop a list of prospective feed ingredients, producers will need to know the cost per pound, the percentage of dry matter and the percentage of crude protein and total digestible nutrients.
Redden recommends having the feed analyzed, if possible. Producers can also seek help from a mentor, Extension agent or nutritionist for help formulating a ration.
The Montana State Sheep Ration program can also be accessed through the internet. The free program allows producers to enter custom feeds and prices to help them calculate their own least cost rations. It also has a built-in library of feedstuffs, Redden said.
Feeding strategies
Typically a ewe will consume about three percent of her body weight, so when determining a ration, Redden said it is important to use feeds that are not so low in quality that a lot is needed to meet the ewe's nutritional requirements.
"They can only eat so much," he said. "They will eat even less if they are carrying twins because they just don't have the capacity for extra feed."
It is also important to ensure that once a least-cost ration is determined, the ewe is consuming what a producer is feeding her.
"Make sure she is eating what you are putting out everyday and not sorting it," he cautioned producers. "If there is a mixture of ingredients, they may eat all the beet pulp the first day and the corn stover the next. That is not a very good diet."
Redden recommended that producers target a certain amount of feed per day that will go toward meeting nutritional requirements at that stage of production and adjust it as that stage changes.
"A least-cost ration can be formulated to feed to sheep," Redden said, "but, over time producers should be willing to tweak it to continue to feed the least cost ration that will still allow the producer to maximize production of his flock."

Focus on ram costs to increase profitability
Casper – According to Clean Kimberling of Optimal Livestock Services, LLC, sheep producers need to work through and evaluate what a ram really costs their operation.
Kimberling spoke at the 2009 Profitability Conference held in conjunction with the Wyoming Stock Growers and Wyoming Wool Growers annual meeting in Casper.
He added that ram evaluation includes recognizing which input factors can be controlled or influenced. Although the lamb and wool market can't be influenced at all, he said ram selection is 100 percent.
"Figuring out which characteristics are important to you is the priority," he said. Those could include wool characteristics, meat quality, scrotal circumference or being a twin from a twin-bearing ewe.
Once priorities have been identified, Kimberling said producers will know where their cash flow is coming from. Following that, he said to calculate what it costs to put each lamb on the ground.
He noted ram costs include not only purchase cost, but also feed and maintenance, health costs and maybe genetic tests. "Those may not be large costs, but they're still costs," he reminded. "They're charges that need to be assigned to ram costs."
Kimberling estimated ram costs equal $250 to $300 each year for maintenance, plus initial purchase price. Although those are fixed costs, he said it's possible to manipulate the system to reduce cost per lamb.
"If you have one ram and you're breeding him to 30 ewes, if you have singles it'll cost more than $10 to put each lamb on the ground," he explained. "If you put one ram on 100 ewes, at singles that'll cost you $3.50 per lamb."
Kimberling said he recognizes that one ram to 100 ewes is more than the traditional rate. "But every producer I've talked to over the years have had a mis-mate situation, where a ram gets out and how many does he get in one night?" he asked. "One producer in Colorado had a ram get into his flock of 300-some ewes and he wanted to preg check before turning them out on the desert. That ram was in there not more than eight hours, and 64 of those ewes were pregnant. You get a good ram and they'll do you one to 100 without any problem whatsoever, and you just reduced your cost from $10 to $3 with singles. If you go to twins, you cut that in half."
"The greatest predator in the sheep industry," said Kimberling, "is tradition. We've always run one ram to every 30 or 50 ewes. The reason we do that is because the first thing we look at when the lamb crop starts to drop is buying more rams, but you've got dominant rams in there that aren't fertile and they're running off the good rams. It's a snowball effect."
Regarding a ram's genetic influence on a flock, Kimberling said it's between 60 and 80 percent, which is important if a producer keeps their own replacements. "If you don't keep replacements it's insignificant, and if you're going to improve your flock genetically you want to concentrate on what the ram does with the ewes you've selected," said Kimberling.
"Scrotal circumference, or capacity, is 35 percent heritable, while the 120-day weight for market lambs is 30 percent heritable," he explained. "You can change that trait in about three generations. Retail cuts – where we get our money – are 45 percent heritable, and you can change the composition of retail cuts in a couple years if you do your selection right."
To keep track of traits, health and behavior, Kimberling said he advocates identification. "You can't measure progress if you can't identify your rams," he said, adding that electronic identification tags are the cheapest form of identification when accuracy and labor are taken into account. "You can also remove the tags, reusing them and assigning them to next year's crop."
"That's why you really want to pay attention to the scrotal circumference and the capacity of a good ram. It's important you concentrate on your rams and what they're doing," he said, noting that the best way to observe accurately is to watch ram behavior when they're at rest.

Flock genetics: Genetic selection improves performance
Written by Kelsey Tramp
Gillette – "Without genetic records, some bucks don't look too bad to producers," explained Lisa Surber, manager of the Montana Wool Lab and research scientist at Montana State University. "However, those bucks can cause more harm than good in an operation."
Surber discussed the benefits of genetic records when purchasing sheep to improve flocks at the Northeast Wyoming Sheep Symposium held Sept. 4 in Gillette.
Importance of records
"A poor quality ram is going to cost producers more than the purchase price of a good quality ram," Surber said. "When purchasing a ram, producers should buy a ram with lots of records pertaining to traits that are important to their operation."
Records allow producers to select animals based on visual appraisal, the animals' own performance and the performance of its parents, siblings and relatives.
"There are a plethora of traits that can be examined with records," she continued. "Producers have to decide what is important to them and the bottom line of their ranch."
Growth traits, such as weaning weight, and carcass traits, such as loin eye area, are associated with selection for terminal sires in breeds such as Suffolk and Hampshire. Reproductive efficiency, growth and wool traits are often sought in wool maternal ram breeds such as Rambouillet, Targhee and Columbia.
"Although a ram itself may perform well, it does not mean its progeny will do the same," she added. "Examining genetic records will give producers a better idea of how the progeny will perform and know what to expect from that ram."
Ewe traits
Reproductive traits, such as number of lambs born, should be considered when selecting replacement ewes.
"It is a common practice in many western sheep operations to select the heaviest ewe lambs as replacements without knowledge of type of birth," she elaborates. "This selection results in reduced reproductive efficiency as the largest lambs are more likely to be born as singles."
"Select replacement ewes from twin-born ewe lambs or from dams that have a history of twinning," Surber continued. "Selecting replacement ewes from lambs that were born single results in larger ewes and decreased number of lambs."
Research has shown that for every one-pound increase in weaning weight in lambs, there was a 2.5-pound increase in mature ewe body size. This increase in body size creates a greater demand for nutrients.
"Bigger is not necessarily better in ewe body size," she continued. "With the cost of feed being as high as it is we cannot follow the large carcass trend of the cattle industry. Even show sheep are trending towards larger sheep and larger carcasses, but that is undesirable in our range sheep because of the limited resources available to them."
Profit selection index
One way producers can manage selection of traits is using a profit selection index. Scoring traits with positive or negative pressure, this method allows producers to select for multiple traits simultaneously.
"The selection index is not a new concept," she continued. "The original scientific paperwork describing the technique was published in 1943, but the sheep industry has been slower to utilize this."
However, selecting using the index helps increase desirable growth, wool and reproductive traits.
"In a project done by Montana State University, the top 20 indexing Targhee ewes weaned 239 more pounds of lamb than the bottom 20 indexing ewes," Surber explains. "This is 12 more pounds of lamb per ewe."
Growth, wool and number of lambs born are the selection traits desired by producers. Carcass quality is also a concern when selecting rams especially with the movement to lamb marketing cooperatives, such as Mountain States Lamb Cooperative.
Eye muscle depth
Surber said that increased loin size gives American lambs a competitive advantage over imported lambs. The loin eye area (LEA) has a direct effect on dressing percentage and is the best predictor of carcass merit.
"American lambs average 2.9 inches of LEA compared to New Zealand and Australian lambs that average 2.1 inches of LEA," Surber said. "However, improvements in LEA, if any, made in the United States over the last 10 years is likely due to increases in carcass size, not genetic improvement."
Surber and Dave Notter from Virginia Tech developed a simplistic method to calculate LEA by scanning for eye muscle depth (EMD).
"We can predict area from depth very accurately," Surber said. "This is one of the reasons that Targhee and other National Sheep Improvement Program (NSIP) breeds have gone to solely using depth to measure carcass trait in sheep."
"As producers, we have to move from measuring LEA and start measuring depth like the rest of the world," she continued. "We still report the LEA, but that is an area calculated from the depth measurement."
Twinning selection
For producers facing limitations on record keeping, Lisa Surber, manager of the Montana Wool Lab and research scientist at Montana State University, outlined short and simple methods that can be utilized to improve the genetic merit of flocks.
"Producers should ear notch or somehow identify twin lambs at birth and then sort their lambs at weaning," she began. "Select at least half of the replacement ewes from twins and don't select against twinning by keeping large, single-born ewes."
"Identify the top quarter or half of ewes and breed them to the best rams. These ewes should be out of ewes with a long history of twinning," she explained. "Then, if they choose, producers can breed the remaining ewes to terminal sires."
"Simple steps such as these can help improve flocks without the producer making a considerable time commitment devoted to record keeping," she added.

Foley Shearing Company works through changing global job market
Written by Heather Hamilton
Kaycee — Dave and Janine Foley started Foley Shearing in 1989 and today operate two crews that shear around 150,000 sheep annually. Their crewmembers are primarily from New Zealand, and are procured through word-of-mouth.
Dave was born in New Zealand and learned to shear sheep from his father, also a shearer. At 19 he came to the U.S. to shear for the first time, and today he provides shearing services for producers across Wyoming and in parts of Colorado.
"It was adventure to come to the U.S. and shear. Then he met me and we got married and traveled the world shearing for a few years before settling in Kaycee. We still travel to New Zealand every other summer," says Janine.
"We have a lot of contacts in New Zealand, and if someone doesn't want to come back there are typically others who want to shear in the U.S.," explains Dave of how crewmembers are found.
The Foleys add that finding workers is becoming more challenging due to a variety of factors, one being the poor exchange rate.
"A good exchange rate makes it more worthwhile for shearers to come over. With the current rate, young shearers aren't as motivated to travel to the U.S. to shear because they don't make as much money," Janine explains.
Another factor affecting the ability to hire crewmembers is the increasing average age of shearers worldwide.
"There aren't a lot of young shearers starting today. When we started in the 1980s the average age of shearers coming over was in the 20s. Today it's in the 30s, and some guys are over 40.
"As they get older they don't want to travel as far because they have families and can secure work closer to home. It used to be that everyone was young and looking for an adventure and now its just work," notes Dave.
The increased hassle of getting foreign workers into the U.S. due to changes in immigration and deportation laws is something with which the shearing industry continually deals, adds Dave.
"The paperwork required to make everything legal today is unreal and is resulting in problems in a number of industries. One example are the farm workers brought into the country to pick fruit. The government thinks that since unemployment is up American workers should do those jobs, but you can't find Americans to do that kind of work. It's the same with shearing," explains Janine.
According to the Foleys, one result of the increased paperwork and regulations necessary to secure a working visa in the U.S. is an increasing number of crews that operate illegally.
"We've all heard the comments about how Wyoming needs another shearing crew, and we could not agree more, but time and money needs to be put into making crewmembers legal. Illegal workers are unfair to those who do take the time, and will only result in even more paperwork in the future," says Janine.
Part of her job within Foley Shearing is ensuring all paperwork is completed and crewmembers have the proper visa to work in the U.S. She says ranchers have the right to be shown documentation to ensure their crew is legal, and it is up to the rancher to check.
Of their hired workers, The Foleys say they are almost always good quality workers who are professional and easy to work with.
"Once in a while you get a young one that's learning, but for the most part this is what they do year round, so they're good at it. It's very rare we have someone we aren't happy with," comments Dave.
One unique challenge to shearing in Wyoming is the weather and set lambing period. Weather often leads to rescheduling and can make it difficult to get everyone finished prior to lambing season.
"Weather is a big factor in Wyoming. You have weather everywhere, but not the storms and snow and cold like we have here. We have to get everyone sheared before they lamb, but ranchers won't shear early because they're concerned about the weather and getting caught in a storm," says Janine.
Dave noted additional differences are that shearers develop a more personal relationship with ranchers in Australia and New Zealand, conditions are more favorable for shearers there and sheep are typically dry-lotted the night before shearing.
The Foleys have four children: Jayson, Tiana, Hannah and Laree, who work within in the family business in a variety of capacities.
"All our kids help with the business and every time we need something they jump in and help wherever they can," says Janine.
Despite declining sheep numbers in recent years, Janine says Foley Shearing Company couldn't do much more and is booked solid.
"We do have to travel farther distances to get the same numbers, but a lack of shearers has created more work as well, so we keep busy," adds Dave.
With the 2010 shearing season well under way, Foley Shearing Company is keeping both crews busy between spring storms.

ORDUNA-HERNANDEZ, Héctor Manuel et al. Effect of frying fat substitution by vegetable oil and energy concentration on diets for productive performance of broilers. CienciaUAT [online]. 2016, vol.10, n.2, pp.44-51. ISSN 2007-7858.
Lipids are often added to the diet of broilers in order to improve their productive efficiency. The most widely used variety of lipids is frying fat (FF), usually recycled from restaurants, as its cost is lower than that of vegetable oil (VO). The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of FF substitution by VO in standard (SED) and high energy (HED) diets on broiler's growth performance. To that aim, a total of 200 one-day-old mixed ROSS broilers (37.2 g ± 0.89 g) were fed during 42 d with two phases (starting and finishing) of 21 d each. The experimental design in each phase was completely randomized with 4 treatments with 2 x 2 factorial arrangement with the lipid source (FF and VO), the energy levels (SED and HED), and their interaction as main effects. The metabolizable energy (ME) in the starting phase was 2 994 kcal/kg and 3013 kcal/kg, and in the finishing phase was 3 081 kcal/kg and 3 111 kcal /kg in SED and HED, respectively. The lipid source (VO vs FF) did not inluence (P > 0.05) on the stu died variables. In the starting phase, broilers fed with the HED gained more weight and showed better feed conversion (P < 0.05) than birds in SED, while feed intake was similar (P > 0.05) among broilers in two diets. For the finishing phase, broilers fed with the HED gained more body weight (P < 0.05) with higher feed intake (P < 0.05) than birds fed with the SED; no effect of energy concentration on feed conversion (P > 0. 05) was observed. It was concluded that lipid source did not inluence on productive parameters, but the increase in energy concentration significantly improved the productive performance of broilers.

Have you planned your family vacation to Hawaii yet? If not, then you should definitely look into this Hawaiian travel guide before you travel to Hawaii. Let's start with the history of Hawaii because you should know a place's history if you are travelling there.
It is said that the Hawaiian Islands were formed about 70 million years ago by volcanic eruptions. The oldest known Hawaii island is said to be the Kure Atoll and the newest one is Big Island of Hawaii which came to surface about 1 million years ago.
The Hawaiian state, also known as "Aloha State" consists of 8 main islands namely Maui, Kauai, the Big Island of Hawaii, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Niihau, and Kahoolawe. Now let's move on to the Hawaiian travel guide.
Hawaii is the most isolated population centre on the surface of the planet. As a result of this, the islands home the world's biggest telescope and most scientific observatories in one place than anywhere else on the planet.
Let's take the Hawaii travel guide to the best time. We often wonder which is the best time to travel to Hawaii. There isn't really the best time as anytime would be best to visit and enjoy Hawaii. You'll find a warm and tropical climate in Hawaii during any time of the year. Temperatures there don't vary drastically from season to season.
You can see lusciously green landscapes any time of the year. But, it's important to know that when you are travelling to Hawaii, a period from May to October is the dry season, while November to April is Rainy. If you are visiting Hawaii in the winter, it is good to take rain equipment.
When it comes to safety, your Hawaii travel guide takes you to the best tips and tricks to have a happy and safe journey to Hawaii. Hawaii is an overall safe place to visit. However, you should take of certain things and avoid certain situations on your vacation.
Watch out for strong waves- While swimming, you never know when a strong wave might sneak up on your back. So it's best to watch the ocean and its waves every once in a while your swimming in there.
If not sure, don't go out there- If you aren't sure of the ocean conditions, don't go to swim at all.
Check out for the posted safety signs.
If possible, swim with the posted lifeguards.
Always avoid swimming at dawn, dusk or at nights- Sharks tend to be more active during this time of the day.
Well, this Hawaii travel guide couldn't complete with hiking safety tips. Let's dive there now.
Always Wear Proper Footwear: - Hiking may not be completed without hiking shoes or sandals. Flip-flops don't qualify for hiking footwear.
Bring more water: - It is recommended to bring more water than you usually take with yourself because during hiking you might need more of it.

Chevrolet Van и GMC G — малотоннажные развозные коммерческие автомобили производства General Motors, выпускаемые в 1964—1996 годах. Вытеснены с конвейера автомобилями Chevrolet Express и GMC Savana.

Первое поколение (1964—1966)
Первое поколение автомобилей Chevrolet Van и GMC G производилось в 1964—1966 годах. Базовая модель — Chevyvan. Основные удобства — печка и сиденье справа от водителя.

За всю историю производства автомобиль комплектовался двигателем внутреннего сгорания Chevrolet Straight-6 объёмом 194 см3, мощностью 120 л. с., четырёхцилиндровым двигателем внутреннего сгорания объёмом 153 см3, мощностью 91 л. с., или двигателем объёмом 194 см3 или 230 см3, мощностью 140 или 142 л. с. Двигатели комплектовались с 3-ступенчатой автоматической трансмиссией Warner и 2-ступенчатой PowerGlide.

В 1965 году модель была значительно модернизирована путём расширения отверстий радиаторной решётки и добавлений ремней безопасности. Модельный ряд состоял из моделей Chevrolet Sportvan (фургон) и GMC Handi-Bus (микроавтобус). Модель Sportvan подразделялась на Sportvan Custom и Sportvan Deluxe, в зависимости от отделки.

В 1966 году радиоантенна была перемещена справа налево, были добавлены запасные габаритные огни, боковые эмблемы были перемещены на передние двери.

Второе поколение (1967—1970)
Второе поколение автомобилей Chevrolet Van и GMC G производилось в 1967—1970 годах. Внешний вид был полностью обновлён. Расположение фар было на радиаторной решётке, задние фонари были удлинены, лобовое стекло было обновлено. Вместо двигателя Chevrolet Straight-6 использовался двигатель Chevrolet V8. Также существовала 3—4-тонная модификация G20. Трансмиссия — 4-скор. МКПП (Borg-Warner T10). С 1969 года на автомобиль ставили 3-ступенчатую автоматическую трансмиссию TH-350. Модели Sportvan были оборудованы системой кондиционирования. Логотип Chevrolet впереди был перекрашен из красного цвета в синий.

За всю историю производства автомобили Chevrolet Van и GMC G второго поколения комплектовались шести- или восьмицилиндровыми двигателями внутреннего сгорания объёмом 3,8 л, 4,1 л, 4,6 л, 5 л или 5,7 л.

Третье поколение (1971—1996)

The eternal struggle in Belle Ombre: agreeing on something to watch with my brother. One of the places our largely divergent tastes overlap is in the realm of costume drama, so the other night after one or the other of us voting down this or that film we finally agreed on the 2012 version of Anna Karenina.
— and that reminds me: the big thing I forgot that I ought to have realised at once when I was captivated and amused and immediately won over by the dialogue and the conceit that the whole story was unfolding in the world of a play. Tolstoy, but Tolstoy through the means of Tom Stoppard.
If that doesn't already make you realise what a gem you also probably missed, let me also say a fantastic cast including Olivia Williams, Kelly McDonald, Domhnall Gleeson, and new to me but amazing Alicia Vikander as Kitty. The whole production design by Sarah Greenwood is superb. Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui who also choreographed for the NT Live Hamlet created such beautiful dance scenes — and the costumes by Jacqueline Durran! Absolutely sumptuous: if Tolstoy wanted to show the evils of uptight nobles, at least this film shows how they luxuriated in their wealth.
As usual, check out all the overlooked works at Todd's blog. Celebrate Peter Cook on his birthday. I'm off to Trinity to talk to a college class about White Rabbit.

Q: Should a foreground program invoked by a daemon split logging between stderr and stdout based on severity levels? Usually log messages are written to stderr. I'm wondering if it is a good idea/practice to split log messages so that errors and warnings go to stderr while debug/informational/notice messages go to stdout instead? Or is this irrelevant given that many dedicated logging processes only read from stdin anyway, which requires source log messages in stderr and stdout be combined and redirect to logger's stdin.
[Update]
The two answers below both mentioned syslog, I think I need to clarify the setup in detail.
The daemon processes I asked are running in foreground by themselves. Daemonization is managed by supervising processes such as runit or supervisord. In both cases, the stderr and stdout of the daemon processes will be captured by the supervising processes, and it's the supervising processes' job to decide how and where to store the logs (might be syslog, or somewhere else in the network over UDP). The daemon processes don't have to worry about what and where to write logs, as they just write to stdout/stderr.
In the case of runit, its logging facility svlogd will read from its stdin for the redirected log messages, which are combined stderr/stdout of the managed daemon process. As for supervisord, it can record stderr and stdout to separate log files.
So in this specific settings, is it a good practice to split logs between stderr and stdout, or just write to one of them?

A: First, something important to clarify: STDOUT and STDERR are rarely relevant within the context of a daemon process once it has successfully started, unless you're invoking one with a debugging switch.
The whole point of a daemon is that it needs to disassociate itself from having a controlling terminal, so that it can persist after logout. Once there is no terminal, all messages need to be sent to either a syslog daemon or a log file managed directly by the process.
If you are not actually referring to daemons, and really just mean any shell script or similar that you're writing yourself, then the logic should generally be this:

*

*STDOUT: Anything you want being trapped by pipes or basic output redirection.

*STDERR: "Out of band" messages. Things you want hitting someone's terminal anyway, even if they're doing some kind of redirection. (hence why they're associated with errors) Let the user decide if they also want to redirect these messages as well, i.e. redirecting STDERR to STDIN as you mentioned.

A: I would not suggest co-mingling stdout and stderr inside your program, but how you handle it outside is up to you. stdout was intended for processed data meant for a pipeline, while stderr is specifically for non-data messages.  This makes certain behaviors possible, such as batch processing, without altering the existing interactive behavior.  Your case is different - there is a good chance stdout means little to nothing.
Because runit has a slightly different take on logging via svlog, and the service you are writing most likely will not daemonize (which in this case means "detach from a tty") then it will be up to you if you want to capture everything to a single log, or not, via the /etc/sv/<servicename>/run script.  For the most part, most run scripts use
exec 2>&1

to fuse the two streams together, as most services don't pass along data via stdout.  If you do want to use svlog you will need to create a script at /etc/sv/<servicename>/log/run with the appropriate command to start it.  It probably looks similar (but not exactly like) this:
#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
exec svlog -tt main

where main is a symlink to a logging directory.

A: If it's a daemon, I recommend using the syslog interface to log your messages direct to the logs.  Run "man 3 syslog" for info.  If necessary, your program can also have a debug option (with a parameter that specifies the priority) that tells the daemon program not to run in the background, and to log to stderr too.
I'd write a logging function that takes a priority and string as an argument.  It should call syslog() to log the message properly, and if the priority is greater than or equal to the global debug priority value, output message to stderr as well as syslog().  Call syslog(..., "%s", msg) to avoid percent characters in the message from being screwed up.  (Or make your function take a variable number of arguments and pass the arglist to vsyslog().)
Make sure you call openlog(..., LOG_PID, LOG_DAEMON) in your program's initialisation.  You could add | LOG_PERROR after LOG_DAEMON if you are in debug mode, which would avoid having to write the logging function mentioned above.  But then you'd lose the ability to filter based on priority.
You might (if using Ubuntu) need to configure /etc/rsyslog.conf to ensure that daemon messages are being logged.
PS -- Use the logger command if your daemon is a shell script

A: I don't think you should use both stdout and stderr for logging. If you have log messages with different severities, they should be tagged with a prefix to make it easy to filter/sort them using svlogd.
I'd say using both stdout and stderr for logging would violate the principle of least surprise.

Brazil's President Orders Military Intervention in Rio de Janiero
The Brazilian President ordered a military takeover of security in Rio de Janiero.

What is the military intervention?
Last week, Brazilian President Michel Temer ordered military intervention in Rio de Janiero– the first time since the CIA-backed military dictatorship that ended in the 1980's. This will give extensive dictatorial powers to the army in the second largest city in the country, while the government will remain in the hands of Governor Luiz Fernando Pezão.
Infamous for his leading role in the repression of Rio's favelas in the lead up to the Olympics, General Walter Souza Braga Netto is in charge of the military intervention. His expanded powers, ostensibly for maintaining public safety, are not subordinate to the governor of Rio de Janiero. Instead, he will have absolute autonomy under the president. In other words, any initiative in relation to public security needs to go through Netto, not the elected legislative branch in Rio. Additionally, the intervention will concentrate the whole of the repressive forces from the federal police to the spy agencies into the umbrella of the Ministry of Public Security. Although it is still under discussion who would lead this empowered agency, top generals from the Brazilian intervention in Haiti are on the shortlist. This intervention was characterized by mass violence and strike-breaking.
As soon as this iniative was approved by Congress, 3,000 members of the military spread across Rio de Janiero– in addition to the police already on the ground. They took up positions on major roads and armored vehicles patroled the city.
The Crisis in Rio de Janiero
Rio de Janiero is known as the "cidade maravilhosa" (marvelous city), known for it's beautiful beaches and samba music, yet it also remains a city of jarring inequalities, with beautiful beachfront apartments that cost millions of dollars while surrounded by favelas full of predominantly Black Brazilians who confront abject poverty, police and gang violence on a daily basis.
The economic crisis in Brazil hit Rio hard. The unemployment rate is at 15%. There are 14,000 homeless people, compared to just 5,000 in 2013. On a regular basis, workers receive their monthly salary weeks or even months late. The State University has not had regular classes in over year and the the faculty have been on strike for most of the last year and a half.
A regular chant heard at protests is that the police kill poor people every day. This is not an exaggeration. Police actions in the favelas murder hundreds of people a year, including children such as Eduarda, a 13 year old girl murdered while in school by a "stray bullet". During police stings, the children in Rio spend hours on the ground, with their head covered, waiting for shootouts to end. The "marvelous city" is full of police who patrol the city with their rifles out the windows of their cars as if to begin shooting at any moment.
The problem of gang violence, and police versus gang violence, terrorizes the civilian population. Not a day goes by without hearing gunshots. In 2017, there were 6,731 violent deaths in the state of Rio, or 40 per 100,000 residents . Yet, Rio de Janiero is not the most violent city (much less state!) in Brazil. In some surveys, it is number 23. In others it isn't even in the top 30.

The issues in Rio are structural and economic. Rather than addressing any of the structural issues in Rio, the federal government's intervention is to promote military intervention while seeking to promote austerity.
In the midst of these structural issues, Rio de Janiero has been the stage for mass expressions of discontent. From a workers movement against the privatization of water to two general strikes last year, Rio's working class has expressed their frustration. Furthermore, the Party of Socialism and Liberty's candidate Marcelo Freixo went to a runoff election for the mayor, demonstrating an affinity with left ideas and politics.
The mass rejection of austerity and of the Temer Presidency was evident at this year's Carnaval celebration, where the usual festival of drunken debauchery was marked by political protest. As some street parties, hundreds of people broke into chants of "Fora Temer" (Out with Temer). In the parade of Samba Schools, broadcast live on TV with millions of viewers, two Samba schools featured anti-Temer and anti-austerity protests. One in particular highlighted the racist elements of Temer's policies, tracing the history of Black Brazilians. Only a few days after Carnaval, Temer militarized Rio de Janiero.
President Temer has notoriously low approval ratings- as low as 3%. He has taken advantage of these low approval ratings to ram through massive austerity measures– a labor reform law that reverts many existing protections for workers, a freeze on all spending on education and health care and is now seeking to pass pension reform. However, Temer was unable to pass the pension cuts through Congress, unable to get the majority votes he needed. In this context, there are two interconnected reasons that Temer militarised Rio.
In the first place, this is a publicity stunt to win support for his terrible image. As much of the population is worried about "public safety", with the robberies and shoot-outs , Temer seeks to give an "easy answer" by being a President for public safety.
Secondly, the extreme militarization of Rio de Janeiro seeks to intimidate and silence those who resist Temer's attacks. In order to pass the austerity measures, Temer has to discipline Brazilians who mobilized to express rage against Temer.
This calamitous policy will have devastating consequences for the city's black and poor population, already targeted by police. As Diana Assuncao of the Movement of Revolutionary Workers says, "We know that the first victims of the military intervention will be Black and poor people. We know that "stray bullets" always find Black bodies. The police is ready to repress workers mobilizations… and this military intervention is at the service of continuing the repression against workers and Black people. We must fight these attacks from the government. We must organize assemblies in our workplaces and places of stude to defeat pension reform, all government attacks, for the people's right to vote for whoever they want in the elections and against the military intervention in Rio."

Open Call: Historic Odessa takes inspiration from history ... and beer
I am not a beer drinker, but if I were to be transported back 300 years to colonial Delaware, and specifically Historic Odessa, from where I am writing this column, not only would I be imbibing the amber brew on a daily basis, but I would most likely be homebrewing it as well.
As early European colonists avoided drinking water like the plague, beer, considered a healthy alternative to water, was a major dietary staple in the colonies, consumed by everyone from cradle to grave.
The term "small beer" was used to describe a home-brewed ale, made from barley, that was much lower in alcohol and would have been consumed by women and children; commercially brewed beer was called "strong beer," served in taverns, inns, as well as the home. Making your own beer and cider in the 17th and 18th centuries was as important a domestic craft as hearth cooking, tending a kitchen garden or spinning yarn.
The area of Odessa, or Apequinemy as it was originally known and named by the Lenni-Lenape. Apequinemy means "place where we carried our canoes," and was first settled by the Dutch (who would have immediately begun producing beer) in 1662, on land purchased from Sachem Mechanksit a Lenni-Lenape chief.
In 1664, the settlement fell to the English, and by the early 1730s had become a fully developed town, bustling grain shipping port and vital Mid-Atlantic transportation hub between the Delaware River and Chesapeake Bay.
When we at Historic Odessa set out to establish a fundraising event in 2013 that would support our historic preservation efforts and educational programming, we drew inspiration from the town's economic, cultural and social history, and the country's deep roots in beer production.
Pairing that with today's enthusiasm for craft beer and resurgence of homebrewing, we hit on the idea of creating the Historic Odessa Brewfest — a chance for beer lovers to step back three centuries to a pastoral setting befitting a celebration of grain, hops, fruits, herbs and time-honored brewing methods.
Along with Historic Odessa Foundation's Executive Assistant Jennifer Cabell Kostik, we approached the Ashby Hospitality Group, which in 2011 opened Cantwell's Tavern, the farm-to-table gastropub, in the foundation's 200-year-old Brick Hotel, to discuss ideas for a fundraiser.
It was while meeting with Mark Ashby, president and owner of AHG, and Jeremy Hughes, the company's vice president and Odessa Brewfest's lead organizer, that the idea for a beer festival evolved. It was Jeremy who asked, "Would you ever consider a beer festival?"
In partnership with Cantwell's Tavern, we launched the Odessa Brewfest in 2014. Now in its ninth year, the one-day event annually attracts more than 2,000 craft beer lovers who span the generations.
Despite some natural apprehension, our first year was a complete success, and thanks to Cantwell's, our staff and crew of volunteers (we're always looking for more), that success has grown.
We immediately saw how Brewfest was an opportunity to bring an event to the public that would not only support our mission, but also attract a new audience for us, and generate a different vibe that invigorated our status as a historic site listed on the National Register of Historic Places and home to a National Historic Landmark and two National Park Service Network to Freedom sites.
It was an opportunity for us to showcase our museum properties and bring our history to that broader audience, who would appreciate our unique setting.
What people enjoy at Brewfest and beer festivals, is what people were enjoying in the early 19th century, when beer gardens began to pop up in cities and towns.
As our biggest fundraising event of the year, the Odessa Brewfest, which this year will be held on Saturday, Sept. 10, means a significant contribution to our budget that supports our mission and to ensure the legacy of Historic Odessa for future generations.
It also helps us support the various public programming we offer throughout the year that run the gamut from exhibitions, lectures, seminars and workshops to our school tour program, education scholarships, and free public events.
We see Odessa as not only a historic site, but a cultural center. A place where people can learn about the past and embrace the present. A place where on the second Saturday of September craft beer lovers from across the region can make merry among good company.
Debbie Buckson is executive director of the Historic Odessa Foundation.

Boats Collide Off Mississippi Coast, 3 Missing
A fishing boat collided with a 660 foot container ship off the coast of Mississippi on Wednesday, May 18. The fishing boat called the Sandy Point sank with 16 people on board. A pilot boat rescued 11 of the people from the water, while two swam to safety. Three others are still missing.
The Coast Guard says the boats collided eight miles off the coast near Ship Island between 8:30 and 9:00 pm. They are currently searching for the missing three. According to the Coast Guard, a 25 square mile safety zone has been set up to allow for the search and rescue and pollution response. Two helicopters, a plane, two Coast Guard cutters, and several other ships are involved in the operation.
The cause of the crash is under investigation. It was dark, but there was no fog at the time of the collision. Tug boats towed the container ship away, but it was unclear where it was taken to.
Boating accidents are more common on lakes, rivers and reservoirs, but when they happen so far off the coast, they can be particularly tragic. Loved ones should know that they may be able to file a claim with an experienced personal injury attorney to get compensation.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a boating accident anywhere in the US, please contact an experienced boating accident attorney through the Accident Lawyers Network today.

Microsoft releases KB4023057 patch for Windows 10
May 2021 Update preparing for the arrival of the Fall Update
Microsoft releases KB4023057 patch for Windows 10. Microsoft has not discontinued support for Windows 10, which is a significant number, especially when you consider the demands for using Windows 11. Microsoft also released a new preparatory patch for Windows 10 in version 21H2 as part of its roadmap.
The patch, alternatively, is meant to prepare the way for Windows 10's release in 2021's second branch, a landing that will happen in October. The update is known as KB4023057 and it was released this week.
KB4023057 patch for Windows 10: Aims to fix potential problems
This update includes reliability improvements for Windows update service components in Windows 10 May 2021 Update. The KB4023057 patch is lightweight and has very little weight. A patch that aims to fix potential problems with the Windows Registry and the operating system that may arise in the upgrade process.
According to Microsoft, KB4023057 (Update for Windows 10 Update Service Components) might produce a message on the Windows Update Settings page or elsewhere asking you to clear disk space by removing files or programs that are no longer in use.
If this is the case, they suggest that files in the user profile directory be compressed to allow Windows updates to install critical updates and that the files be restored to their original condition after the upgrade.
In addition, the patch KB4023057 includes Microsoft Update Health Tools, which is used to repair the registry or turn off registry settings that are preventing a Windows update from proceeding. This update will also display a warning if the device is running out of space and will provide new options for clearing disk space to make it easier to update the device when the device is low on storage space.
This update may request that the device remain active longer to enable the installation of updates.
The installation will respect the user's configured sleep settings and also their "active hours" when using the device to its maximum.
This update may attempt to reset network settings if problems are detected and will clean up registry keys that may be preventing updates from installing correctly.

The daily chart of the S&P 500 mini futures contract above, shows our proprietary SUPPLY and DEMAND Dashboard and BXB (Bar by Bar) Signals using data from the NYSE.
Yesterday price moved 10-points down to close at 2878.25, just above the 2877.50 level on strong Supply. Once again price closed well of the low at 2868.00 Yesterday. Four of the five sessions since the high on August the 29th, closed in the negative. The DOW did not close in the negative Yesterday, but the NASDAQ also closed in the negative.
Volatility was high and the Simplified Volume Oscillator is still in Selling pressure territory. If price stay above 2877.50 and more Demand shows up today, the near term downtrend could stall. A close below 2863.75 can lead to more weakness into the 2846.25 area which should offer support.
In our view the 2877.50 level is key at this stage, and if Demand shows up today and this level holds the near term down trend could stall. If continued Supply enters the market and the 2863.75 level is broken, a sell off to 2846.25 is a possibility.
On August the 26th we warned of a possible bigger pullback in the Stock market for the first time, and that scenario seems to be playing out, however it is difficult to tell how deep it will go.
Data is updated in real time during the regular trading session of the NY Stock exchange and does NOT take into account any price indicators or mathematical formulas using price. We do however show the cumulative price change for the trading session and in some instances assess price movement's relationship to Supply and Demand.
It is therefore fair to say that the readings and signals are independent from other popular price indicators and others shown on the chart. The readings are an independent assessment of the one and only measureable fundamental market mover: SUPPLY and DEMAND. It does not matter if price is influenced by a geopolitical event, seasonality, fundamental economic data releases or sentiment driven news, etc. It all reflects in Supply and Demand, the "footprints" of the "Big Boys" or "Smart Money".

About
============

.. |MAGNEX| image:: images/magnex_logo.png

NUCLEMD is a computer code based on the Constrained Molecular Dynamics model. The peculiarity of the algorithm consists on the isospin dependence of the nucleon-nucleon cross section and on the presence of the Majorana Exchange Operator in the nucleon-nucleon collision term.

The code will be devoted to the study of Single and Double Charge Exchange processes in nuclear reactions at low and intermediate energies.

The aim is to provide theoretical support to the experimental results of the DREAMS collaboration obtained by means of the |MAGNEX| spectrometer.

The GOP finds itself leading on health care issues; meanwhile, despite its inauspicious launch, life under the health care law gets off to a somewhat quiet start; the Administration releases latest enrollment numbers; a new lawsuit is filed challenging how the law applies to Congress; and, with the calendar having turned to 2014, experts raise the warning flag on the Affordable Care Act's new taxes.
Polling Up: In what the more cynical amongst us might describe as a bit of a reversal, a new poll finds that Republicans now hold the edge over Democrats when it comes to health care issues. The survey, compiled by health care news aggregator The Morning Consult, shows Republicans with an eight-point advantage when it comes to health care among undecided likely voters. This same group also disapproves of the Affordable Care Act by a more than two-to-one margin, which could be trouble for vulnerable incumbent Democrats who supported the law. Whether this sentiment rings true heading into an election year will be put to the test as many anticipate the GOP making the health care law its priority campaign issue.
Rolling Thunder: For many of us, the New Year presents a chance to reflect on the year gone by. As it relates to changes in the health care landscape, we need only look back to this fall – and the rollout of the health insurance exchange marketplaces – to get a sense of what 2013 wrought. Given the myriad challenges left in the wake of the imperfect launch of HealthCare.gov, it's not surprising that many were nervous leading up to January 1st, when coverage was to go into effect and millions of Americans would see what life under the Affordable Care Act really looked like. And, while experts caution that it's still too early to diagnose the depth of the implementation issues brought about by so many last-minute changes to the health care law, the start of coverage has been described by some as quiet. Others, however, aren't quite as sparing, choosing instead to place the implementation of the Affordable Care Act alongside the rollout of another comprehensive health program: Medicare. Historical context notwithstanding, having cleared its first major hurdle of 2014, there remains a handful of dates that experts would have us circle on the calendar. For their part, some health insurers have given consumers more time to pay their premiums, extending (again) the deadline for payment till later this month.
Enrollment Marker: Given the numerous obstacles consumers experienced this fall navigating the insurance exchange portal, the latest enrollment figures point to a vastly improved, not to mention, functioning experience. By the end of December, more than 2.1 million people had signed up for a health plan through either the federal or state websites. Despite being off their targeted pace, Administration officials are encouraged by the dramatic uptick in new sign-ups, but allow that there's still a ways to go in order to reach the 7 million enrollees projected to sign up for coverage this year.
Senator's Suit: Citing his obligation to the checks and balances engineered into the Constitution by its authors, on Monday Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) filed a lawsuit against the Administration over the decision last year rendered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) allowing the government to continue subsidizing the health insurance for the 535 members of Congress and their staff. Arguing that the ruling constitutes an "abuse of executive authority", Sen. Johnson's suit charges that the decision violates the intent of the law, which was that Congress would participate in the insurance exchange marketplaces on the same terms as all Americans.
Looming Taxes: In recent years, a number of new taxes have hit Americans' bottom lines, ostensibly to fund the Affordable Care Act. While the law's less than smooth rollout has given critics plenty to complain about, some maintain that the worst is yet to come. Beginning this year, the health insurance tax (HIT), a new multibillion-dollar assessment levied against insurance companies, is slated to go into effect. In fact, in 2014 alone, the HIT is expected to cost insurers an estimated $8 billion, before eventually ballooning to $14.3 billion by 2018. Experts warn that these costs will ultimately lead to a dramatic increase in premiums: A 2011 study by management consulting firm Oliver Wyman pegs that increase at more than $2800 per person and $6800 per family over a ten-year period. However, the recently introduced bill by Reps. Ami Bera (D-California) and Charles Boustany (R-Louisiana) seeks to delay the HIT for two years, providing temporary relief for working families, small business owners, and vulnerable seniors. The proposed legislation continues to enjoy bipartisan support. Find out more.
A look back (in health care charts) at the year that was and a look ahead at the issues that will define Congress in the year to come.


Today's stuff on ascension perks looks neat, and I hope that it will lead to things like building your own ringworlds.Stellaris' endgame definitely needs some fleshing out, and this is a good step forward.
Stellaris [Official Site] is going to get a bit more feature-heavy with the next updated and DLC going by Paradox latest updates. They have detailed 'Tradition trees' which will be free and 'Ascension Perks' which will be in the next DLC.
Stellaris is a 4X grand video game with strategy factors. It was developed and proclaimed by Paradox Interactive. Stellaris' gameplay relates to space exploration, diplomacy, managing an empire, and space warfare with other civilizations.
Removed that perk and added a new one thanks to console and the pic. I never cheat in games but it beats spending 12 more hours starting from scratch Unfortunately Local Leader does do what you said, you just have to setup supply lines first.
With people who love strategy games, Stellaris is an incredibly addictive video game that they can't ignore. Offering addictive and epic gameplay, attractive storyline, carefully invested visuals, great mechanics, and tons of prominent features, this game is great.

Ionic liquid based microemulsion with pharmaceutically accepted components: Formulation and potential applications
Muhammad Moniruzzaman, Noriho Kamiya, Masahiro Goto
Applied Chemistry
Molecular Information Chemistry
In this paper, we report a novel ionic liquid-in-oil (IL/o) microemulsion which is able to dissolve pharmaceuticals that are insoluble or sparingly soluble in water and most of pharmaceutical grade organic liquids. Towards this approach, the nanometer-sized ionic liquid droplets in isopropyl myristate (IPM) were formed with a blend of nonionic surfactants, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (Tween-80), and sorbitan laurate (Span-20). A set of ionic liquids (ILs) was tested as a dispersed phase, and it was observed that ILs possessing coordinating anions which are strong hydrogen bond acceptor were most effective in forming microemulsion droplets. The possible formation mechanism was also studied. Ternary phase behavior study clearly indicated the formation of optically transparent and thermodynamically stable microemulsions with a wide range of IL content. The shape, size and size distribution of the aggregates in microemulsions were characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS), which demonstrated the formation of spherical micelles in the range of 8-34 nm. In order to explore the use of newly developed microemulsion as a potential drug carrier, we have investigated the solubility of some drug molecules (e.g., acyclovir, methotrexate and 1-[(5-(p-nitrophenyl) furfurylidene) amino] hydantoin sodium) that are insoluble or sparingly soluble in most of the conventional solvents. Very significantly, the solubility studies indicated a high degree of solubilization of such drugs in IL microemulsions. We believe that this microemulsion formed with ILs having the unique physical, chemical and biological properties may offer novel opportunities to develop a potential drug delivery carrier for poorly soluble drugs molecules.

While most people tend to shy away from damaged stocks, investment expert, Igor Cornelsen advises them to do the opposite. Having been in the finance realm all his life, Igor Cornelsen boasts firsthand experience with such stocks, and as such he has proof that they can be profitable. According to Igor, while such shares might seem unprofitable, they often solidify and become profitable in the long run. It is therefore wise to consider purchasing them as they are often sold at cheap rates hence one has nothing to lose, yet they can bring massive returns in the future. He, however, urges investors to keep in mind that there is a difference between damaged stocks and damaged companies. While the stocks tend to solidify and generate profits in the long run, damaged companies are often beyond saving and investing in them does not offer any financial gains.
Igor Cornelsen also reminds investors that the business environment in Brazil is incredibly different from that of other countries and as such it is vital for them first to learn how it works before they can learn the ropes of the external business environment. Additionally, to maximize profits, they should seek favorable Forex rates as these often result in the highest success.
Why should investors listen to Igor Cornelsen?
As noted earlier, Igor Cornelsen has been in the corporate world his entire life. He ventured into this arena during the early '90s and as such has seen the market at its best and its worst. He is familiar with the trends that lead to a financial recession and those that lead to a successful one and as such his investment advice always works. This is proved by the fact that he has in the past made many predictions which turned out to be true. For instance, when the Brazilian government was making amends on its economic atmosphere, every investment guru believed that this would stabilize the market conditions, but Igor had a different opinion. Despite the criticism he received for saying the new regulations wouldn't hold water, Igor's prediction of a market crash came to pass in 2016. Fortunately, he was on the safe side as he had already sold his assets.

They publish analysts who ideas and advice they could want their families to read and use. Stansberry Research has been offering a wide range of opinions. For instance, the company's franchise brands were led by experienced analysts who use their unique investment ideas and philosophies. For these reasons, the company has distanced itself from promoting a single, unified opinion of the markets. Instead, they focus on publishing a mosaic of views, strategies and recommendation.
The multi-franchise methodology offers the company's work a greater breadth that allows them to create diverse opportunities for subscribers. However, the company's franchises are connected by an unremitting obligation to risk management and contrarian to recognizing investment prospects.
In all the franchises, the company concentrates on investments that are detested, overlooked or even unknown. It is in these organizations that the company gets informed perspectives that offer the readers the best risk-to-reward prospects.
The company uses a business approach that is based on creating a long-lasting relationship with its clients. Generally, the company does not get income from marketing trial subscription. Instead, they aim to create a long-lasting relationship with their customers by offering reliable, viable and profitable advice that lead to renewal profit for the company.
For this reason, most of Stansberry Research´s internal marketing works focus on selling lifetime subscription that offers customers access to almost all the products at reduced price.


The pink and purple combo is my hot favourite at the moment, and I couldn't help myself to create these pink candy corn nails! Especially after enjoying the regular orange and yellow candy corn nails so much!
Hehe, I was too lazy to use tape to draw stripes so these lines are not straight…sorry!!
I used baby pink: KISS ON THE CHIC – OPI, bright pink: THAT'S HOT! PINK – OPI, and dark purple with blue shimmer: MAGIC POTION – The Hungry Asian.
For this design, I used Kiss On The Chic (pale pink), That's Hot! Pink (bright pink) both from OPI, and Magic Potion (dark purple) from The Hungry Asian. I was too lazy to use masking tape for the stripes, that's why the lines are so messy!
woow! the gold star looks so cute!! U have so nice color combinations!
I think ok xDD I love the Magic Potion one O_o!!
So cute, I love the color combo!!
Aww~, thank you so very much for saying that!!
Hehe, thank you very much~!!!
