The advantages with 3nine oil mist eliminators are many. Among them is the minimal yearly maintenance compared to other technologies and money saved on replacing oils/coolants as all separated fluid is returned directly back to the machine tool for reuse.
Why should you spend time and money on maintenance?
Practically every supplier of an oil mist solution can offer 99.95% clean air by using a HEPA-filter grade H-13 as an end filter. However, what happens between your filter changes, and how often do you need to complete this task? What is the cost and time that it takes to perform this maintenance and safely dispose of this bio-hazardous waste? These are the questions that you need to ask yourself before you determine which system to utilize in handling oil mist. Since 3nine units separate oil particles down to 1μm from the air and return them back to the machine tool tank, many of our customers have pushed off their weekly maintenance of oil mist collectors to every two or three years.
No other solution on the market has the high degree of cleaning efficiency as 3nine's oil mist eliminators. 100% of all fluid particles down to 1 μm are separated out and are immediately recycled for reuse. Our technology even allows for a proportion of the particles less than a micron to be separated out such as 82% of all particles down to 0.8 μm!
We estimate that the average filter life on our oil mist eliminators is more than 30 months but oftentimes we can exceed this. The filter life varies depending on its usage/application and could potentially have a lifetime of 3 months to 6 years. If you are using low viscosity oil, high-pressure coolant, or high spindle speeds this will affect the size of the oil particle, producing mainly particles smaller than 1 μm, which is smoke. In other words, these factors will reduce the life of your filter. We do not want to sell you false promises because we can't predict the ratio of oil mist vs. oil smoke, but we want you to understand how innovative our products can be in your everyday life. Since we started in 2003, we have sold 13,000 oil mist eliminators and only 25,000 filters. This is two filters per each oil mist eliminator, indicating a longer filter life than above's 30 months. Our customers remain with us because they note the value that 3nine technology has introduced into their lives, how little time and money they need to spend on maintenance. We save you time and money where other companies cannot fulfill those promises.
As seen in the chart to the right, a standard application has a concentration of particles of approximately 2μm. In these cases, almost everything is separated out, and only a small part becomes smoke and goes into the filter (orange section). But with a high-pressure coolant machining the curve will shift to the left and the particle concentration will instead be around 1µm or smaller, which will utilize the HEPA more to collect smaller particulate (yellow section). By using a larger eliminator and reducing the airflow, one can increase the separation of smaller particles. This means that the 3nine oil mist eliminators are a great solution for high pressure coolant machining.
Not many people know or think about the greater fire risks with long pipe runs. Mechanical and Central filtration solutions normally have long pipe runs to get the processed air as dry as possible before the filter. With that you should know that the oil mist settles in the pipes and as a result can create the risk of a fire, unless properly maintained. Long piping should therefore always be avoided when dealing with oil mist. Our machines can be installed directly on top, on the side or right next to the machine tool, so as to be as close to the oil mist source as possible.

Q: Winsock Disconnects in Excel VBA I've got a ESP8266 NodeMCU device which acts as a LAN Node server using ports 80(html) and 81(websocket server).
It works fine with a browser webpage I designed for a control application, but I'm trying to port it over to Excel using Winsock. In place of the webpage, I just use a form and need to access cells on the worksheet. This has value for other IOT apps where I want to import data to Excel and take advantage of Excel's graphs, export data, etc.
Here's the issue I can get port 81 to upgrade to TCP but as soon as I try to send a small text message, the NodeMCU disconnects with no error message. The code follows:
oString = "GET / HTTP/1.1" & vbCrLf
oString = oString & "Host: ws://192.168.0.9:81/" & vbCrLf
oString = oString & "Connection: Upgrade" & vbCrLf
oString = oString & "Pragma: no-cache" & vbCrLf
oString = oString & "cache-Control: no-cache" & vbCrLf
oString = oString & "Upgrade: WebSocket" & vbCrLf
oString = oString & "Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13" & vbCrLf
oString = oString & "Sec-WebSocket-Key: yaVX9fn9sKEiN2YbqvF/fg==" & vbCrLf
oString = oString & "Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: arduino " & vbCrLf
oString = oString & vbCrLf
ws81.SendData (oString)

NodeMCU1.0 Response:
HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols
Server: arduino-WebSocketsServer
Upgrade: websocket
Connection: Upgrade
Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13
Sec-WebSocket-Accept: xaeFOTHpxO8e54UJtOnwdL+odwo=
Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: arduino

NodeMCU (via serial monitor) tells me I'm connected and starts pinging and Winsock pongs back: reading but not doing anything with the Accept key(Don't think it's necessary).
Now the problem is as soon as I try to send text the NodeMCU disconnects and there's no specific error message.
I've looked at RFC 6455 and I think that the header protocol is part of MSWinsock(otherwise what's it existing for?). Looking at wireShark, the header is there for sure, but larger than I would have expected by 20 bytes. I would have pegged it at 16 bytes given the short message(about 20B) that I am sending.
It does appear to have the mask bytes in place but the Extended Payload Size bytes are populated. I would think that they would be zeros.
One important note
My client is sending unmasked and the message is clear text. Why wouldn't the Xor algorithm be being applied since RFC 6455 says ALL client uploads to server are masked? But still, that would just mean the NodeMCU would just receive garbage and react badly, but not disconnect. I've already duplicated the masking algorithm and I could apply it to the Payload but I have no way to set the MASK bit or the mask bytes in the header(at least not that I know of). If it has anything to do with Big vs Little Endian then I'm doomed because even if I swapped the payload data endian I couldn't change the header.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi, I'm currently designing an automated 3D model of conveyors using DriveWorksXpress add in of Solidworks.
Everything is working fine except for one issue.
When i'm doing a dimension rule, if the result is not a finite number, it supress the comma.
(that's what DWX is indicating me as result), but inside Solidworks, the final value is 50645.
As if the comma never existed !
First i thought it could be a unit issue, but everything seems normal (MMGS).
I already tried to change computer, same issue.
I got the same results, no decimals are possible.
I looked a bit in the internet, i'm not the only one to get that issue, but i did not find any viable solution.
The fact to be limited to finite number is very limitating.
I'm using Solidworks 2013 with windows 7 in Portuguese.
Do you have any technical solution to fix or by-pass this issue ?
I still don't have solutions for this issue, I reported it to the technical support of my Solidworks Reseller seeking for a solution.
They just told me "Thanks for reporting the issue", and i'm still blocked with parametrized 3D Assemblies with good programmation that do not work because of this bug.
If someone have an idea to solve it, it would really help me a lot.
I had the same problem, i just change the solidworks language in options>system options>general to english, and now it works fine.

While I have managed to figure out alot of the basic stuff: Deploying units, moving, attacking, reinforcing, upgrading, repairing small naval units etc. I am sure I am missing much of the more advanced stuff.
2/ How to send my major vessels for repair/ how to upgrade my shipyards to repair them.
2) Every ship can be repaired in port, but please make sure that the port size is enough to enter a ship there. CV needs a port size at least 4. Also you can repair only one HP of ship per turn.
Thanks for the swift reply Doomtrader.
I am playing Version 1, Build 24.
I will try the settings as you suggest.....Sorta think I found a way to hold the message till I'd read it by pressing two keys: Shift and right mouse or some similar combination, but I haven't been able to reproduce that.... Am I having delusions?
Yep, till I capture Brisbane or Sydney I guess I'm SOL.
No online Manual yet then?
P.S. Congratulations on building a very addictive game. I sit on the edge of my seat waiting for the Aussie AI to finish his turn so I can continue my march to the sea.
I was also pleasantly surprised to find an orchestral arrangement of "Redgum's" "I was only 19" on the soundtrack...Outstanding!
We are still working over the manual as some things are changing dynamically, so a number here or there is pretty important.
Altered the settings as you suggested and now I am getting the full gist of the combat reports, thank you. There is a "Pause" and "Skip" button on the combat report which helps too.
This may be "old news" but until the manual is finished it might also be of use to other players. Till now I have been flying fighter and Tactical bomber sorties from the towns to which I have moved my squadrons via "Strategic movement". Sometimes they are to far away to reach the battles. Yesterday I discovered, quite by accident, that I can redeploy squadrons to "green field" airstrips away from the towns just by moving them like ground units. This has greatly improved my "close air support".
Am I right in assuming that in order to airdrop paratroopers I need to upgrade my tech to "Strategic bombers"?
To airdrop paratroopers, they have to do nothing for three turns.
Hi, I am also reviewing SoP, and I am wondering if the online manual is available yet, because I'd like to make sure I know how to play the game correctly before writing the review! I would also like to test out the multiplayer, but it would be easier for everyone to learn to play if I could pass on a copy of the manual.
The manual is attached in Manual folder in the game main folder.
Awesome, thanks for the clarification! I look forward to checking out the game.

[VIDEO]: Senatorial aspirant, Imee Marcos visits Binondo for a Chinese New Year event where residents warmly call her Senator.
Sometimes, the mere mention of China in the daily news is enough to get some Filipinos' blood boiling. It is because of the ongoing territorial dispute between the two countries. Although, it is undeniable that we have 1.5 million Chinese Filipinos or Tsinoys in the country. Ultimately, the result of centuries of Chinese contact and migration from Mainland China to the Philippines.
Throughout three centuries of Spanish rule and 50 years of American occupation, Chinese Filipinos are an integral part of the Philippine history. They assimilate themselves within Filipino society. Most of them excel not just in commerce but also in craftsmanship. This is by working as artisans and skilled laborers.
Many Chinese Filipinos retain their Chinese surnames such as Tan, Dy, Chan, Co, Lee and Go, among others. Some adopt Spanish surnames when Governor General Narciso Claveria decreed it as policy in 1849. The families of Filipino heroes Jose Rizal and Andres Bonifacio are examples on this. Others adopt native surnames because of their marriage to native Filipinos.
Binondo is where many Chinese Filipinos reside. It remains one of the oldest Chinatowns in the world. A number of Chinese Filipino families play a significant role in the country's economy. Business conglomerates such as the Sy family of SM, the Gokongwei family of Robinsons, the Tan family of Fortune Tobacco, and the Gotianun family of Filinvest. Philippine presidents like Emilio Aguinaldo, Sergio Osmeña, Ferdinand Marcos, Corazon Aquino, Benigno Aquino III, and Rodrigo Du30 all have Chinese ancestry.
On 11 April 1975, with the Philippines two and a half years into the martial rule, the late Ferdinand Marcos issued Letter of Instruction (LOI) 270. It is called officially as the "Naturalization of Deserving Aliens by Decree." It marks the turning point in the quest of ethnic Chinese and other "aliens" living in the Philippines to acquire Philippine citizenship. Marcos orders a simple procedure that enables mass naturalization. This is in lieu of the cumbersome and costly judicial process. Such action gives credit to the Tsinoys who contribute to the Philippine economy greatly. His family members in politics like Senatorial candidate, Imee and Former Senator Bongbong Marcos continue to establish partnerships with the said community for the country's welfare.

Q: Stop tab change primeNG Angular 4 I'm using primeNG with angular 4 and I would like to know how I can block a tab change in a tabview.
The workaround I managed to achieve so far is to get user back to the initial tab after the tab changes, I do this in the onChange callback of the tabview, using a setTimeout method to trigger my behavior of getting back to the initial tab after the tab changes (I set the time to 100ms which is not a clean method).

A: Use changeDetectorRef service:
index = 0;
constructor(private changeDetectorRef: ChangeDetectorRef) {}

onChangeMethod(event): void {
    this.changeDetectorRef.detectChanges();
    this.index = 0; // The number of index you want
}
<p-tabView (onChange)="onChangeMethod($event)" [**(**activeIndex**)**]="index"> //set attribute with parenthesis

Alternative you can use a timeout to set the index:
setTimeout(() => {
    this.index = 0;
    }, 0);

A: I can't comment on Shashidhar answer because I am new but I agree with him.
You can put disable on all tabs except the current tab.
You name each tab, keep track of the current tab and do something like [disabled]="!currentTab".


As an Orange County, California, family law firm, The Law Office of Patrick A. McCall helps parents with their child custody issues. Whether you are going through divorce or are not married to the other parent of your child, we can help serve you and your child's best interests by advocating for a well-crafted custody plan.
Attorney Patrick A. McCall will provide you skilled legal representation when it comes time to determine child custody. Child custody law in California says when determining custody, the child's best interest is the most important consideration.
Sometimes, the child's parents could have very different ideas of what that means. As your lawyer, Patrick A. McCall will work to arrange an out-of-court settlement if possible. If it is not, we will go to court to argue that your child custody plan is more beneficial to the children.
There are two types of child custody: physical custody and legal custody. Physical custody refers to how much time the child spends with each parent. Under a shared custody plan, the child lives part-time with each parent. Under a sole custody arrangement, the child spends the majority of the time with one parent. The noncustodial parent usually receives visitation rights. For example, he or she might get the children every other weekend.
As with other family law matters, child custody and visitation orders are not set in stone. When a modification is necessary, our law firm is ready to help you do what is best for your children. We also represent parents in cases involving the possible termination of one party's parental rights.
A child custody dispute can be difficult, but you do not have to go through one alone. To schedule a free consultation, call The Law Office of Patrick A. McCall at 714-740-7299, or email our firm here.

Day for Knight (Games Magazine)
The music of lutes fills the air and banners flutter in the breeze as knights and pages assemble in their pavilions. A time warp to Camelot? No, it's the Nottingham Jousting Association of Northern England, preparing for another demonstration of medieval wargames.
From May to September, the twenty members of the Association tour castles and other historical sites throughout England demonstrating the kind of prowess at jousting and sword-fighting that would have warmed King Arthur's heart.
The Association was formed by accident 13 years ago, when Nottingham hired a group of stuntmen to stage a joust for a civic festival. But before rehearsals ended, injuries sidelined the pros. Local amateurs stepped in and have been whacking each other with broadswords and lances ever since.
Practice for the summer shows begins in January, when would-be performers – whose 20th century careers range from butcher to pub owner – audition for knighthood. Only about one in ten shows the skills and physical constitution to join the troupe.
The same can be said for their steeds. "We look for well-trained horses with fire and breeding," says director Sam Humphrey. "A safe, predictable animal doesn't have the brains to catch onto what we are doing."
Though each show is choreographed and rehearsed at weekly training sessions, few concessions are made to safety – the knights rarely use extra padding or fake weapons. "Basically, we rely on timing and practice," observes Humphrey. Unlike their 12th-century predecessors, though, they wear leather breastplates instead of metal armor while riding. "When you are falling off a horse, you need that flexibility."
Despite frequent broken fingers and concussions, authenticity is the troupe's ultimate quest. True, the blades of various swords –some of which are up to six feet long – are dulled, but medieval knights did that, too. "Swords were bone-breakers, not cutting weapons. With all the chain mail and armor, knights couldn't hope to cut anything, except maybe the heads of a few passing peasants." However, for those attending the jousts, fear not. These knights display far better Round Table manners.

Sigur Rós – Valtari
June 4, 2012 | by : Editor
After numerous solo records, Sigur Rós return. It's not a big world they live in (I doubt they will ever show their metal direction, despite protestations that they are), and if anything, their palette, wonderful as it is, is drearily predictable and utterly formulaic these days, half-heard pianos, wordless harmonies, dribbling, leaking guitar and rhythms that stutter.
For the majority of this somewhat unmoving record, Sigur Rós stand still. In the best sense of the word, that is, by gazing out. The songs are unhurried, shorn of the relatively conventional idea of choruses and lyrics, instead, focusing on an idea, a feeling.
It's a band that wouldn't exist without an exhausted middle class. Not that there is much in the way of invention here. This could be the same as any record they have made in the past decade : the same, ageless and timeless production, the unmoving sounds of guitars strung to infinity, the harmonies and choruses. Is it any good? Of course it is. It's just the same as their other records, a evocative soundtrack for a tired, exhausted, hopeful meditation, a way of escaping the world as it is, set inside a aural soundscape of joy and sadness – 'soy, jadness?' – that is our world.
'Ekki Mukk' though, what a title, hints at the sly humour that often sits within the bands work. It's not exactly an arresting listen, but a meditative one : imagine (and here I used those dreaded words 'post' and 'rock'), that conjures up the kind of meditative minimalism, where nothing happens, so even the slightest variance is of great import, that characterised some parts of Pink Floyd , and latterly, Mogwai , Explosions In The Sky and parts of Moby 's work. Here, the brain rests, goes somewhere else, and explores the inner world, instead of focusing on the prison of bass, rhythm, guitars, vocals, to a more abstract land.
Sure, I can talk for paragraphs about this absence as a presence in itself, but more than that, Sigur Rós are off again, making a soundverse their own, creating a record where what you don't hear, what you think you hear, the record in your head that doesn't exist is as important as anything else. A triumph on their own terms.

P-8A MMA Could Become a Multinational Program
May 10, 2005 05:23 UTC
P-8A MMA Concept
Australia, Canada, and Italy were named by the U.S. government at the end of 2004 as being the most likely partners in the development of the P-8A Poseidon Multimission Maritime Aircraft (MMA), based on a Boeing 737 airframe. The US Navy is now in formal talks with these potential international partners, and India has also expressed interest. The U.S. market alone is estimated to be $20 billion, and the P-8 replaces the P-3 Orion aircraft currently in service with 15 countries.
Each potential international partner would be expected to contribute approximately $300 million toward the development of the P-8A. The U.S. also approached other allies but according to eDefense they were "less responsive," raising the prospect of a competing European system at some future date based on an Airbus airframe – or even a more complete bifurcation of the maritime surveillance market.
SSC Developing Multiple Uses for Airbeam Technology
Inflatable structural supports, also called airbeams, have swelled into a variety of products, and a team of engineers at the Center of Excellence for Inflatable Composite Structures headquartered at the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Center's Collective (SSC-Natick) Protection Directorate form the backbone of research into the technology. With the assistance of industry partners Vertigo Inc. and Federal Fabrics-Fibers Inc., airbeams are finding uses in the Army, Air Force, Navy, and even outer space, shrinking the military's logistics tail and vastly reducing the weight of deployed structures.
$27.7M to Develop PLUSNET Undersea Sensor Network
Future Undersea Warfare?
Pennsylvania State University at University Park, PA won a $27.7 million cost-plus-fixed-fee task order for the Persistent Littoral Undersea Surveillance Network (PLUSNET) against Basic Ordering Agreement N00014-05-G-0106. The PLUSNET system concept is a semi-autonomous controlled network of fixed bottom and mobile sensors that communicate with each other and can make basic decisions independently as they try to track ships and even the quiet, diesel electric submarines operating in shallow water environments typical of the Western Pacific.

$9.2M for Decontamination Mask Powder

Child marriage is not only the erosion of innocence and a potentially successful future – but also has a rather disparaging effect on the physical strength, health and development of the girls themselves. Quite often, in child marriages, the "groom" is an older person, sometimes, by many decades. On an annual basis, as many as ten million girls are removed from school and forced into marriages they do not choose to be a part of. And these girls are young – nine, ten, eleven. Their childhoods are long dead, as these girls become mothers while they themselves desperately need theirs around to grow up. REF spoke to Lakshmi*, an eighteen-year-old mother of three, about her painful story.
When I was born, my family did not rejoice. My mother once told me that she had never felt such regret in her life, until the day I was born. I am a girl, you see, I have no right to be alive. At least that was what they told me. I was the first to be born to my family – and it was harder on them because a girl for a firstborn is nothing to celebrate for, where I come from. My mother once told me that my father and she tried to abandon me, but they didn't want to be liable for anything if they were found out. We lived a life in poverty – my father was a daily labourer with nothing to his name. He would lie drunk every other day, dead to the world, while my mother would do odd jobs to make the family survive. When my brother was born, my father gave up drinking. He had a future to look forward to, he said.
I was twelve when they married me off. Six years ago. Today, you tell me that a law was passed eight years ago. But what was the use? I was still married off before I could grow up – I don't know what it is to be a girl. All my life, I was a woman.
I don't know how old the man I was married to was at the time of my marriage. He is as old as my father, that is about all I know, but here he was, marrying a girl – sorry, a woman – his daughter's age. I had to live with my husband's family. I can't say life was any different, it was the same thing, to live in poverty. The only difference was that the people around me were different. I had my first child within a year of marriage. He is almost six now. Within the next four years, my other two children were born. I can't tell you enough how tired I am. All I long for is a carefree life a life where I can be the child I never was, and then grow into being the woman I am now.
My parents didn't consider educating me at all. It was a non-issue, there was no basis for me to even ask them. When you are taught that you are worthless from when you are very young, you don't and you can't seem to believe much else. There were schools in my village, but I think – this is all I remember – it was only the boys that attended it. But even they didn't have much education, the government school had no teacher many times, and the private schools were either expensive, or just closed down when the city people would leave the village.
Now I live in the city, and I see girls like you coming and going about, all successful. Please don't think I am jealous, not at all, I am proud of my sisters. But there is a very sad part of me that yearns and wishes that I could have the life that you all have, too. I see my children – you see them playing about, there – and I wonder if they will also be caught in the same net as me. My daughter goes to school, that way my husband is a lot better. But I wonder if there is a future for her or my sons at all. Poverty is a difficult thing to deal with.
You want to write my story. I am happy to tell you, with the wish that things will change, that my children will have a good future. I am eighteen, but I really feel like I am eighty. My body has aged, my mind is old because it is illiterate. Every day I dream of a happy future for my children – they are my world and the only reasons that I continue to live. My husband is a good man, no doubt, but if I had had a chance to decide the way my life went, I wouldn't have lived it this way.

"I, Tanya…, engaged Vincent Pennisi to represent me and other family members in bringing to account a relative who acted as an attorney and executor of my deceased mother and who failed to properly carry out his responsibilities as attorney and executor by intermeddling my mother's monies with this person's own monies.
"But for Vincent's assistance, I believe that I and my relatives would not have received our full and proper entitlements in the estate. He did great work, was very understanding and persistent in a very successful outcome."
"I, Karen…, wish to say that I was extremely pleased with the assistance and support that Vincent Pennisi gave me as Power of Attorney for my overseas son in his purchase of property 'off the plan'. His work was skilled, detailed and very professional. I would recommend and commend him to anyone."
"I, Samantha…, engaged Vincent Pennisi to represent me in a contested estate of my late father who had been unduly influenced, by his second wife, to leave me and my sister out of his will.
"When all else appeared lost, Vincent showed his experience and skill by obtaining a report from an expert which 'saved the day' and as a result, my sister and I received our fair and proper proportion of our father's estate. We are extremely delighted with his work and services. I highly recommend him."
"I, Denise…, have engaged Vincent Pennisi on several occasions to represent my wayward son in various police prosecutions brought against him. I found Mr Pennisi skilled, understanding and professional in his services. I continue to use him and recommend him to anyone else requiring such services."
"I Daniel…, IT consultant, engaged Vincent Pennisi to represent me in relation to my Family Law matters, which included property settlement involving our home, self-managed superannuation, trusts, and company assets.
"I did so only after extensive and exhaustive enquiries of many other solicitors practising in Family Law.
"Before choosing and selecting Vincent, I met with him and had discussions with him and he pointed out a number of relevant, significant issues for me to consider. I went away and thought about his advice and decided to engage him to represent me.
"My matters necessitated institution of contested proceedings. My former wife and I were not able to reach an early agreement and we ended up in court. Only after valuations and a very lengthy mediation were we able to reach an agreement to finalise our issues.
"I was, at all times, very pleased with my legal representation, advice and service by Vincent Pennisi and would highly recommend him. I am pleased I chose him."
Daniel, IT consultant
"I, Paul…, engaged Vincent Pennisi to represent my interests because my business and company involvement with my brother broke down when my brother was stealing.
"The business, which was operated by my brother, nearly went broke. However, with Vincent's advice we were able to salvage the business, move my brother out of the business and continue what is now a very profitable business.
"Mr Pennisi showed great skill and determination and ingenuity and I would highly recommend him as a very competent, skilled lawyer."
V Pennisi & Associates was established by Vincent Pennisi in 1984, who previously worked as a partner in a CBD law firm for 10 years before he launched the firm in Chermside, North Brisbane. Based here for over 30 years

Why Women Seem to Age Faster Than Men
November 13, 20220 Comment1
It is no secret that women live longer than men. It sounds like good news for women, but there is something they were not expecting. It turns out that women age faster than men. And it is not surprising that women have many reasons for this, from pregnancy to menopause and this is not where the list ends.
We are on a mission to find out why men manage to stay younger longer.
Women Suffer From Stress More Than Men
© Bridget Jones's Diary / Universal Pictures
Women are more prone to mental breakdowns, especially if they are related to work, according to Dr. Judith Mohring. Also, the hormonal difference is what explains it all. Hormonal fluctuations are associated with depression.
Also, the seasonal affective disorder affects women more than men. Constant stress inevitably leads to premature aging.
Women Who've Given Birth Age Faster

A study conducted at George Mason University showed that pregnancy makes you look 11 years older. The fact is that women who have given birth have shorter telomeres than those who have never had children.
The shorter your telomeres, the older you will look. Also, stress during pregnancy is not uncommon, which also accelerates the aging process.
Male Skin Is Thicker

According to dermatologists, men's skin is 25% thicker than women's. The percentage may vary from person to person, but the total number remains the same. However, although there are fewer wrinkles on male faces, those that exist are deeper than female ones.
The Levels Of Testosterone Are Different
© Elizabeth Goodenough/Everett Collection/ East News, © AFP/EAST NEWS
Estrogen is responsible for a young female face, while testosterone is typical in men. High levels of testosterone delay aging.
Although estrogen also acts as an anti-aging hormone, its production declines more rapidly than that of testosterone. That is why women are the first to have wrinkles.
Menopause Takes Its Toll
© EAST NEWS, © RCF/Everett Collection/ East News
Loss of hormones during menopause accelerates the aging process. When women go through menopause, their bodies stop producing as much collagen as before. This causes the skin to lose its elasticity.
Do you think women age faster than men? Do you look young for your age?

New Delhi: The government on Monday said the Ministry of Home Affairs has designated Dera Baba Nanak land checkpost in Punjab's Gurdaspur as an authorised immigration point to facilitate pilgrims passing through the proposed Kartarpur corridor in Pakistan.
In an official notification, the MHA said: "In pursuance of sub-rule (b) of 3 of the Passport (Entry into India) Rules, 1950, the government designates Dera Baba Nanak land checkpost in Gurdaspur, Punjab, as an authorised immigration check point for entry into/exit from India with valid documents for all classes of passengers."
According to the Home Ministry, the checkpost is expected to facilitate pilgrims passing through the proposed Kartarpur corridor.


Rievaulx is a tiny village near Helmsley in the North York Moors National Park. It is located in the previous inner courts of Rievaulx Abbey. Here, at one time, were the brewhouse, bakehouse and guesthouse for the Monastery. Rievaulx Abbey was closed in 1538 by Henry VIII and the grounds were bought by the Earl of Rutland. He continued the iron-smelting industry, which the monks had operated. The English Civil War brought this to a halt in 1647. The village then became an agricultural settlement below the Abbey and the Rievaulx Terrace and Temples. The buildings are mostly built with stones from the Abbey ruins. The oldest cottage in the village is the thatched 17th century Swiss Cottage.
St Mary's Church, a Grade II Listed Building, is at the north-east end of the village, squeezed onto the valley side. It was originally the gatehouse 'slipper' chapel at the entrance to Rievaulx Abbey. The 13th century masonry is still visible. It was rebuilt by the Earl of Feversham as the village church in 1906/7, when a chancel and small steeple were added. It was restored in 2007 with a new roof. In a shelter in the churchyard, is a Memorial Cross to Charles Duncombe, the 2nd Earl of Feversham, who was killed at the Battle of the Somme in 1916. He is buried in the Cemetery in Flers, France. The Cross was made from wood from a blitzed farmhouse near where he died. In 1983, the former Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, took the title, Baron Wilson of Rievaulx.
Where in England is Rievaulx, North York Moors, Yorkshire?


Chicago is abuzz with new ventures and start-ups. A quick scan of local media (and some national media, too) on any given day shows the increasing pull of the developing Silicon Prairie. A varsity line-up of start-ups like Groupon and grubHub are forging ahead, and major league players like the freshly rebranded Motorola Mobility and digital-only Encyclopædia Britannica are reinventing themselves right here on the Third Coast, as well.
Chicago has a well-funded VC ecosystem, and its dedicated incubators have been celebrating a banner year, even though they are themselves start-up newbies like the Chicagoland Entrepreneurial Center's 1871 workspace (in reference to the Great Chicago Fire of 1871). Chicago even has its own all-encompassing brainiac convention, called Chicago Ideas Week, that has been picking up steam (and scale, with globally recognizable speakers) in the last couple of years.
Excitement for start-ups—despite last decade's Dot Com Bust and Great Recession—is as steady as ever before and perhaps even more so in the Windy City. The entrepreneurial problem-solvers among us will simply never run out of good (and bad) ideas for improvement, new services and goods, and experiences. New businesses are dreamt up, jotted down, and kicked off.
You have probably heard of the Midwest work ethic. It is a real thing. Many of Chicago's new ventures have come about by more traditional business roots—with an innovative start-up-like twist—that are driven by hard work. Often start-ups here have launched and established themselves more like their bricks-and-mortar predecessors. They start with sound up-front planning, capital scraped together from family and friends in order to launch more fully (versus launching an idea that needs immediate backing by a VC to be viable), and the traditional elbow grease needed to meet and engage real customers, network in the community, and build solidly from the ground up.
Chalk it up to the friendly Midwest persona, but Chicago-based entrepreneurs and start-ups talk more about their customer and customer experience, and put it squarely forward as a central focus in their business thinking, than is heard in most other innovation geographies. Such a core focus drives long-term growth of the business by working from the customer to the bottom line, not the other way around.
Chicago's burgeoning start-up environment often has a palpable underdog vibe which has contributed to a desire to succeed simultaneously despite and because this is not the Bay Area or NYC. The drive to succeed can be seen in businesses that are more thoroughly tested, thoughtfully planned, and driven with a sense of urgency to be and remain relevant and engaging.
Give a Chicagoan a good reason to trust you and they will build a lasting partnership with you. People who start a business in Chicago are here because it is "our kind of town." There are fewer talent siphons, business vagabonds, and wantrepreneurs gumming up the start-up community in Chicago. Strategic relationships are what they mean, more often than not, in this town. This helps entrepreneurs find reliable support when they need it, build stronger and more resilient businesses, and connect with like-minded leaders in the Chicago business environment and beyond.
The Chicago Model for start-up success is a combination of focus, planning, drive, and fundamental business building that has resulted in some of the most admired start-ups being headquartered in or within line-of-sight of the Loop. As more businesses launch here they are wholeheartedly taking advantage of the very real and meaningful "can-do" attitude that is at the heart of so many success stories here.
There is evidence that the rest of the start-up world is seeing Chicago's contributions. The formula for success is a bit different here. Building something, with drive and purpose, a real connection to customers, and a quality engagement and investment in talent is not rocket science, but the conditions have to be correct for it to occur. It is in Chicago where those conditions align time and again, and consistent success happens time and again. It is the Chicago Model for start-up success.


Background: Pharmacogenomics is a field of science which studies the impact of inheritance on individual variation in medication therapy response.
Aim: We assessed healthcare professionals' knowledge, attitude, and interest toward pharmacogenomics.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a 32-item questionnaire among physicians, nurses, and pharmacists who were working at the University of Gondar Referral and Teaching Hospital in northwest Ethiopia. Descriptive statistics was applied, and the categorical variables were summarized as frequency and percentages. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) test was performed to compare mean scores among health professionals. A p-value of <0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results: Of 292 health professionals who responded, the majority were male (60%) and the mean age of study participants was 27.00 (±4.85 SD) years. The mean knowledge scores of all participants, pharmacists, physicians, and nurses were 2.343±1.109, 2.671±1.059, 2.375±1.093, and 2.173±1.110, respectively. Based on the ANOVA test, a statistically significant difference was noted in mean knowledge score between pharmacists and nurses (p=0.002). More than two-thirds (67.33%) of nurses, 42.86% of pharmacists, and 40.27% of physicians who participated did not know that genetic variations can account for as much as 95% of the variability in drug disposition and effects. The ability to accurately apply their knowledge to drug therapy selection, dosing, or monitoring parameter was reported by 35.3% of the participants. More than two-thirds (69.2%) of participants thought that pharmacogenomic testing will allow the identification of the right drug with less side effects. Most of the participants (83.2%) also requested to have training on pharmacogenomics.
Conclusion: Participants showed limited knowledge, but they had positive attitude toward pharmacogenomics. Educational programs focusing on pharmacogenomic testing and its clinical application need to be emphasized.

In The Pallid Mask scenario, you and your fellow investigators will enter these tunnels in search of a stranger whom you believe must be connected to the events surrounding the performance of The King in Yellow at the Ward Theatre in Arkham.
But with each new strange twist and turn, you'll find yourselves only stepping deeper into mystery.
Perhaps you can follow the tunnels all the way to the pulsing heart of the play's mysteries, but there's a chance, too, you'll simply find yourselves lost amid the shifting landscape.
What begins as a trek through moist and clammy tunnels of stone may become a journey that leads you under the earth, through The Gate to Hell, and straight to your demise at the Well of Souls or some other forgotten chamber.


…be sure to SUBSCRIBE to her YouTube channel, too; she has a LOT more work there for you to enjoy.
She chose an absolutely excellent cast of players to back her vocal work up, too… Terry Myers (tenor sax, clarinet), Paul Urbanek (piano), Martin Spitzer (guitar), Karl Sayer (bass), Reinhardt Winkler (drums)… you'll recognize that high-talent and high-energy as soon as you spin the magnificent 6:46 "Poinciana"… Simone will easily wrap you into her spell, and make you oh-so-happy you got her album!
Terry's sax on the opener, "Spotlights" (a Simone original), will have you spinning this tune over and over again… Simone's vocal pacing on this one is perfect… I predict you'll be hearing this on jazz radio playlists across the globe.
A Myers original, "We´re Goin' In" is just about the swinginest jazz you'll hear in 2018 – guaranteed… this one gets a permanent slot on my iPhone player, no doubt!
Simone penned my personal favorite of the fourteen high-end jazz pieces jointly with Karolin Tuerk… "Remember Jeannie" definitely hits the spot; it's also the longest song on the album, so be sure and listen to this one with your headphones on so you can catch every little nuance!

Green Book, 2018 Review
By Lydia | 19 June 2020 | 0
Based on the true friendship between Italian-American bouncer; Tony (Lip) Vallelonga and the renowned Black pianist Dr. Donald Shirley, Green Book is the most unsuspecting road trip movie. It shows the unimaginable forethought a person of colour had to put in, to simply safely drive across country. The title refers to The Negro Motorist Green Book written by Victor Huho in 1936. This was a manual that listed the establishments that would cater to black people during that time, including gas stations, motels and restaurants.
Tony Vallelonga (or Tony Lip as he is known amongst friends) worked at the Copacabana in 1962 with an unorthodox professionalism, but when it closed for renovations, he needed to bring home the money in the meantime. That's where Dr. Shirley came into play. The classical musician was looking for a driver to escort him from venue to venue on his concert tour. After some deliberation, Tony winds up saying yes to the gig.
Little did he know it would be his enlightenment.
The psychology of the characters are so complicated and the script is very careful to not make these two men caricatures of their cultures. The involvement of the real Tony Lip's son, Nick Vallelonga in the screenwriting process added to the authenticity. Using the real letters that Tony wrote his mother Delores during that time as well as old footage and voice recordings of Tony's voice, Norwegian Viggo Mortenson was able to fully envelop the persona of Tony Lip. Mahershala Ali plays Dr. Shirley with exquisite refinement. His mannerisms, demeanour, body language, intonation of speech works so well in juxtaposition with Tony Lip's unpolished Italian-American swagger.
Dr. Shirley (played by Mahershala Ali) and Tony Vallelonga (played Viggo Mortensen)
Director Peter Farrely's filmography includes much lighter subjects, such as the comedies; There's Something about Mary, Dumb and Dumber, Me, Myself & Irene. Although the comedy in Green Book is sparse, it hits exactly when it needs to. Tony's disposition for folly often meets Dr.Shirley's logical rationale in moments where the audience can take a break, regroup and return to the subject matter.
In this I am pertaining to a predominantly white audience, whose fragility means confronting racial inequality issues quite a heavy task.
Dr. Shirley's identity is so complex and is something he confronts throughout the film. He dissociates himself from the stereotypes assigned to African American people. A powerful moment of his reality is when Tony is driving Dr. Shirley from gig to gig in the deep south, all the while Tony is drilling Dr.Shirley on how he doesn't know the likes of Little Richard and Chubby Checker to which he refers to as 'music of your people', when the tire bursts. Tony pulls over to change it, opposite a cotton farm. As Dr. Shirley gets out of the car to stretch his legs in his elegant attire, the slaves picking cotton slowly turn and stare in shock and amazement. The sight of a black man in a suit being driven by a white man who wasn't a cop, would be as rare as seeing a pig fly.
The lack of narrative here works so well. The power of the event speaks for itself.
In another earlier car scene, Dr. Shirley discusses juggling the 'husband act' and the 'travelling musician act' like trying to manage both worlds. In actuality, Dr. Shirley was navigating many worlds, the white world;
His place as a black man in a white world
His place as a black entertainer in a white world
His place as (potentially) gay, black man in a white world.
Tony Lip's primitive views on race are presented as hereditary. Italy, like so many has roots in colonisation of African countries and the dictator Mussolini was buddy buddy with Nazi Germany and so this history built a stubborn foundation that strongly celebrates tradition. This affects progression in equality of race, sexuality and gender. Let's take Delores, Tony Lip's wife, played excellently by Linda Cardellini as an example. She is presented as the most tolerant of racial differences, offering the two black workmen a glass of water at the beginning of the film. When she later finds the two cups in the trash, clearly thrown in there by her husband, she doesn't approach him about this topic. In today's landscape, there are very few couple's that exist who have such differing views on race. This is what embedded racism within a culture and community looks like. Of course, she beams with pride at the end of the film when Tony calls a family member out on their racial slur. So of course, now the man of the family has declared anti-racism, (the very notion that Delores has been about the whole time, albeit silently) the family is called to attention.
One notion I kept circling back to when watching this film was; if only that one wife called her husband out on his racism, if only that one waiter said, 'sod the racist laws, of course Dr. Shirley can eat here', if only one guy in the racist redneck gang said, 'hey guys, let's not beat up black people anymore'. It may be supremely idealistic and naive to even suggest or ponder on, but really – if only…
This film presents the different guises the evil of racist discrimination has taken on throughout history. Using the road trip trope worked perfectly to show the geographic disparity in the U.S.A during that time and to this day. The film should not be mistaken as a documentary on the book itself; The Negro Motorist Green Book. I interpreted the title as the foundation for a story of two men; one for whom this book proved necessary for life and death and for one whose only interaction with the book was for a job. Through this subject focus, the film is able to showcase the contrasting everyday experiences for whites and blacks.
I mean, the audience is introduced to Dr. Shirley in his lavish apartment above Carnegie Hall, the man quite literally sits on a throne as he interviews Tony Lip for the job. Skip to ⅔ of the way through the film, Dr. Shirley sits in a run down motel 'for coloured people only' while Tony stays at the swanky whites only establishment. If that doesn't spell if out for people, I'm not sure what will.
The film's exploration of the reality of inherent racism shows how it can take shape and evolve into different guises. Tony's subtle micro-aggressions and deep-seated ignorance is portrayed so subconsciously. The inner and outer battle Dr. Shirley faces is so much more profound and heartbreaking than the dilemma Tony Lip faced when deciding whether to take this job. The journey he goes on is chronologically mapped through the road trip, in a temporally balanced way. As an audience member, I felt sympathy for both characters for different reasons and the way in which their paths cross symbolically represents unity, respect and equality.

After tent fire, calls for action to prevent homeless deaths in winter
Man injured on Finsbury Park street is believed to be part of a new wave of London rough-sleepers who are in employment
30 November, 2018 — By Emily Finch
The badly-burned belongings of homeless 'Lewis' in Stroud Green Road
A FOUNDER of a volunteer group offering food to the homeless says he "fears deaths this winter" after one man's tent caught fire, burning his hands and hair.
Police and firefighters were called to Stroud Green Road just after 6.30am on Monday to reports of a tent on fire near the bridge next to Finsbury Park Station, a spot that has become popular with homeless people.
A man, named locally as Lewis, was treated at the scene and taken to hospital by ambulance. The Tribune understands that he is out of hospital and that the fire, started by an overturned candle, is not believed to have been a deliberate act.
The owner of a nearby café described the tent's owner as "hardworking". He is thought to be part of a new wave of homeless people who are sleeping rough in London despite being in employment, as the cost of living exceeds salaries.
The café owner, who did not wish to be named, said: "I would see him every day packing up his bag and going to work. It's so sad what's happened."
A singed pile of items, including a mattress, was all that remained of the makeshift home on Monday afternoon.
Jon Glackin, from Streets Kitchen, said he was "worried" about the homeless population in the borough as the weather turns colder. His volunteer group, which feeds hundreds of homeless people throughout the capital, was previously based in Finsbury Park.
It is not known if "Lewis" was relying on the candle for warmth.
Figures released by homeless charity Shelter this month estimated that 320,000 people were now homeless in Britain – a four per cent increase from the previous year. Mr Glackin said:
"We are working very, very hard to prepare for winter. We are fearing there are going to be deaths.
"We are trying to set up two night shelters. London isn't doing enough for homeless people. More urgent things need to happen to prevent more deaths and accidents such as a burnt tent."
Streets Kitchen relies on volunteers to go out on the streets to feed and clothe people in Camden, Islington and Westminster.
Mary Atkinson, who lives in Woodstock Road and saw "Lewis" being treated in an ambulance, said it was "upsetting" to see so many homeless people living under the bridge in Stroud Green Road. "It's really shocking. I can't believe as a community we haven't been able to come up with a solution and that people are living under the bridge," she said.
Four people were seen living under the bridge this week on a road which connects Crouch Hill to Finsbury Park.
The Town Hall conducted a "deep clean" of the bridge earlier this month. It has worked with Streets Kitchen to prevent valuables belonging to the homeless population being thrown away.
Islington housing chief Councillor Diarmaid Ward said the council was "working with the man concerned to make sure he's all right and to try to encourage him into accommodation".
He said: "We're saddened to hear of this incident. Rough sleepers are some of the most vulnerable people in our society and incidents like this serve to reinforce that point.
"The council and our partner agencies are working extremely hard to combat homelessness and help people off the streets and into safe, secure accommodation. Sometimes these offers of help are refused at first, but we will continue to keep asking and to offer support. We have built links with specialist charities who are skilled in working with people who for many reasons are reluctant to take up offers of support."

Latest stimulus essential for growth, says UTCC
published : 22 Aug 2019 at 04:00
newspaper section: Business
writer: Phusadee Arunmas
The recently approved stimulus package is deemed vital to boosting the country's economic growth, if it can be implemented quickly, the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce says.
The recently approved 316-billion-baht stimulus package is deemed vital to boosting the country's economic growth, if it can be implemented quickly, according to a survey by the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC).
Thanavath Phonvichai, vice-president for research at the UTCC, said the plan has to be implemented as fast as possible to have a concrete impact on the overall economy.
The university predicted the Thai economy could expand by 2.8-3% this year if only 47.7-61.0 billion baht and 103-122 billion are spent in the third and fourth quarters, respectively.
Economic growth could expand by only 2.6% if such spending failed and more negative factors such as an escalating trade war occur, he said.
In the best-case scenario, economic growth could reach 3-3.4% this year if spending under the package is active at 150-183 billion baht in the third and fourth quarters, and the government introduces the income guarantee scheme for farmers, as well as extends until next April a measure that waives fees for visas on arrival issued to tourists from 19 countries.
Mr Thanavath said the extension of visa fee waivers is expected to help push the number of foreign arrivals to 39.5 million this year.
However, he noted the prediction was made with the baht at 30.7-30.8 to the US dollar and the impact of the new trade row between the US and China deemed moderate.
The UTCC is maintaining its forecast for exports this year at flat to a contraction of 1%.
The cabinet on Tuesday gave the nod to a 316-billion-baht stimulus package, hoping to improve the country's economic growth by 0.5-0.6 percentage points this year.
The stimulus package includes additional allowances of 500 baht per month to low-income earners and the elderly in the state's smartcard scheme, an additional allowance of 300 baht per month for childcare, offering 10 million Thai travellers 1,000 baht in spending money, and a 15% cash rebate of up to 30,000 baht on tourism spending.
The scheme also offers additional funding and loans to help Thai small and medium-sized enterprises as well as subsidies to farmers.
As part of the stimulus package, the cabinet also agreed to extend until next April a measure that waives fees for visas on arrival issued to tourists from 19 countries. A waiver for 21 countries is due to expire on Oct 31.
The cabinet rejected a contentious proposal to allow visa-free entry for visitors from China and India, citing security concerns.

Dame Judi Dench Tik Toks with Grandson (Who Might be Ed Sheeran?)
Dame Judi Dench is, without question, one of our greatest actors. She's such a great actress that she won an Academy Award for "Shakespeare In Love" even though she was only on-screen for less than eight minutes. That's some damn fine actin'! She's also been playing James Bond's boss, M, for over a quarter century already.
Dame Judi is now set to conquer a new medium as she is making Tik Tok's with her grandson, who appears to be Ed Sheeran using the nom-de-tik-tok of "Sam Williams".
Here's one of them doing a synchronized dance to a Yung Gravy song:
And here's one of Sam/Ed telling his grandmother jokes. These jokes are so bad that I honestly can't tell if Dame Judi is giving the actual punchline or just a random jumble of words:
@sam.williams1When you try and tell your Grandma some more jokes...... ##fyp ##foryou ##famousrelative ##judidench ##jamesbond♬ original sound - sam.williams1
OK, come on! That's actually Ed Sheeran, right? No? That's amazing. Seriously, if Sam Williams grandmother weren't one of the world's most acclaimed actors he could still be famous for playing Ed Sheeran's look-a-like on that British show about look-a-likes (sorry I can't remember what it's called).

2016 Ford Explorer Refreshed
Ford has announced that a refreshed version of the Ford Explorer utility vehicle, a 2016 model, will make it's global debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show later this month, with a new look, and a peek at Ford's newest technology. Celebrating the Explorer's 25th anniversary next year, this mid-cycle freshening of the long-running SUV nameplate, comes in the middle of it's fifth generation, which was introduced in 2010 as a 2011 model. That year, the Explorer changed from a body-on-frame truck to a car-based crossover. Since debuting in 1990 as the successor to the Ford Bronco, and as a derivative of the Ranger, nearly 7 million Ford Explorers have been sold. Ford is saving the surprises for the show, but recent spy shots have revealed that the Explorer will receive revised styling, including new fascia, headlights and grille in the front, and new fascia and taillights in the rear.

This game was developed by Killzone creator, Guerilla Gamera. The game involves a competition that combines an explosive basketball action with giant mech suits. It pitd two teams of three against each other. To score, you must push yourself through a goal located in the center of the map. There are three different rigs that the user can choose from.

Until Dawn is a fantastic game released in 2015. It combines engrossing story, great scares and memorable cast of characters. Supermassive games describe Until Dawn as a descent into madness. This game will take you on a literal roller coaster ride full of scares, thrills, and arcade style shooter action. It features a carnival-inspired aesthetic that is complemented by various terrifying creatures. Survival Horror is a great genre of VR especially when you are left squirming on an inescapable ghost train.
Monstars and Enhance Games developed the Rez Infinite. The game is an effort of 15 years of old Dreamcast game that turned up to be one of the most amazing apps for Sony's PlayStation VR headset. The game adds VR head tracking and puts the gamer at the center of Tron-like wireframe soundscapes. Rez becomes almost hypnotic due to the head tracking. Its pulsing trance soundtrack builds to a thumping crescendo as you shoot down your polygonal enemies. You also find yourself fully immersed in a futuristic landscape as the experience zips you past your floating avatar. It is easy to entirely lose track of reality due to the insane speed and spot on the head-tracking enemy.
Rocksteady Studios developed this game. It is probably one of the best introductions to PlayStation VR. The game is a fantastic visual showcase that demonstrates the power of gaming. The opening sequence of the game draws the user in by leading them from the top of Wayne Manor floor down to the basement to make you the Batman.
