The raw papaya is a health food among the eastern states of West Bengal ,Assam and Odissa.It forms a regular part of the diet owing to its many food values.among other things,the raw papaya is an excellent natural de-worming agent ,and works very effectively if consumed in a regular basis.
This vegetable is taken plain boiled with rice with a sprinkling of mustard oil ,or it is consumed by making its preparation without onion and garlic.This is best eaten on days ,when you want to eat a plain homecooked non spicy meal and yet not miss out on taste.
The raw papaya needs to be peeled first,once the green skin has been peeled,it has to be cut into pieces lengthwise,and then the inner potion (the white ends of the seeds have to be scraped out.If not done the preparation will get a bitter taste.Once done the long pieces have to be cut into bite size pieces and then kept in water for 15 minutes.
This dish does not call for coriander leaves,the flavours are best enjoyed when garam masala is added to it.and the ghee adds a subtle touch of tradition to it.I always use a mix of green cardamom,cinnamon and cloves,the quantity of Cinnamon being the highest.Sugar is the quintessential element in all traditional Bengali fare,so makes it way in this dish too.
The quantity of the cumin ,coriander and the chilli powder can be increased if you want more gravy in it.Needless to say the quantity of oil also increases with the spices.
1- Take the papaya cubes out of water and boil them till tender.Alternatively ,you can also pressure cook them with little water till 2 whistles .The papaya pieces should not get mushy,they should be cooked but stay firm.
2-Take them out of the water and discard the water.
5-Once the cumin splutters,add the potato pieces with the salt and the turmeric.
7-Add in the papaya pieces,and add the cumin ,coriander and chilli powder over the papaya.
10-Remove the lid and add water ,increase the heat to high and bring to a boil The quantity of water depends on how much gravy you want and the quantity of spices you have put.
12-Switch off the flame and leave covered for ten minutes before you serve.
This preparation is best enjoyed with steamed rice.Though some people love to have it with hot ,thin chapati or phulkas.
Ever since I have got married ,and stepped into my in laws place ,I have been hearing many a praises of this recipe.The patol bata,bata in Bengali means a ground paste,and in this case it was the parval or patol grated and cooked in poppy seeds.the Bengali vegetarian cuisine has many such bata,especially done with different varieties of yam and the mash is cooked in varied spices.This particular mash of parval is my mother in law's recipe or my grandmother in law's (my mother in law's mother) recipe to be more precise.Since it is one of my husband's favourite things I wasted no time in learning it.Now in course of time my daughter"s have also started liking it.
Mix again till the mixture turns slightly red at the bottom and gives out the aroma of fried khus khus.
Fritters are always the saviors when you have not made anything quite interesting for meals especially on weekends.And helping the kids with their studies ,bringing them back from their activity classes ,all this after a very elaborate breakfast ,leaves me with little time for preparing lunch. This is when I peep into the refrigerator for some instant help ,and I come across the corn kernels lying in there.
I find the sweet corn an amazingly useful ingredient in the kitchen.Owing to its sweet taste it can be made into many things,like fried rice,sandwiches cheese corn balls or simply boiled .It is always a favourite amongst kids.The sweet corn fritters that I am sharing today is a very easy recipe,and can be made almost instantly.All you need are some of the basic ingredients available.
The other day I made this as a side dish for lunch,and it was an instant hit.The crunch on the outside and the sweetness of the corn is to die for.I have added a few pieces of capsicum to it ,corn and capsicum complement each other a lot,and the capsicum also makes up for some body of the fritters.
I practically had no time for clicking a fancy photograph,.the fritters vanished in no time Somehow managed to get a few clicks.
About one and half cups is to be coarsely ground while the other half cup is to be added whole.
Mix all the above mentioned ingredients except the oil and leave aside for fifteen minutes.
The consistency of the batter should be liquidy enough to be taken by a spoon. Add the baking powder just before making the fritters. A very tight batter will make the fritters hard from inside.
Serve hot with tamarind chutney or tomato ketchup.
Though the prawn malaikari ranks first in all Bengali households ,in my home the chingri aka prawn is best enjoyed with cauliflower.Quite possibly because this recipe can be enjoyed with rice and luchi ( puris) alike. Bengalis and their love for potatoes is in separable,so the potatoes do have their presence in this recipe too ,and somehow I cannot imagine the recipe without the potatoes.
The cauliflower florets are covered and shallow fried with till they get a reddish colour,to release the aroma of fried cauliflower.
As for the prawns ,I do not shell them completely,I leave a part of the shell for the colour in the gravy.I devein them and leave the head of the prawn partially intact after cleaning them,as my husband enjoys the head too.
For some added colour I have used the kashmiri mirch powder,and you can also put some slit green chillies for some more flavour.i avoid that for the kids in my house .
13-Serve hot with steamed rice or puris.
Baked potato wedges ,is a healthy potato snack ,and once I learnt it I have stopped getting the frozen ones from the stores.This is a very quick recipe and so easy that once I made it only once.Since then my teenage daughter has taken charge of making it every time without any supervision.
This can be on the menu in kids parties,as this is an extremely kid friendly recipe.I make the wedges very often as an appetiser when I have guests for dinner,since It is easy to make and very light as well.

Contemporary EROTIC Romance Short Stories
What's a ski instructor to do with a naughty little student?
Jeremy Thompson is at the top of his game and loving his job. Surrounded by towering mountains and awe-inspiring slopes, life couldn't get any better for an adventurous bachelor. Trouble is he's having a hard time focusing on what he's paid to do, when he would rather bump his sexy student over the bunny hill.
Tiva Dushku is a walking wet dream and a hazard to his job. During a chilly afternoon practice, Tiva takes a spill into the bushes, and when Jeremy comes to her rescue, she leaves him no choice but to teach her a lesson . . .

Jeremy found a set of tracks going off the trail into a pine thicket, just below and to the right of the bunny hill. It didn't take much deductive power to conclude Tiva had ended up down there. He sidestepped into the bushes and pushed the pine branches out of the way. Tiva was lying on her back with the back of her hand placed dramatically over her brow.
"Oh, there you are," she said in her thick accent, eyes wide, mascara smudged. "I'm dying."
Dying for something all right.
Chuckling under his breath, Jeremy tapped the binding of his skis with his poles, stepped off, and knelt by her feet. One of her skis had been ripped off in the fall; the ski that was still attached had jack-knifed in the snow. He removed the ski and patted her leg, checking for signs of injury.
"Did you hurt your ankle?"
She sighed deeply, and Jeremy thought she could play the starring role in a badly acted porn film. "Yes. Oh, god. I feel faint."
Tiva lay back and parted her legs, providing him a clear view of the cleft between her thighs. He swallowed, ignoring the urge to reach out and skim his fingers over the seam and make her squirm. The woman was a danger to the male population.
He gritted his teeth and focused on her face. "Do you need help getting up?"
Her pretty blue eyes gazed at him with that hungry look he'd come to know well this past week. Nearly every time he looked at her, she was staring back at him with clear lust in her eyes. As far as he was concerned, she probably wanted his cock more than she wanted to learn to ski.
Tiva bit her bottom lip and smiled. That's when he realized her little accident wasn't really an accident at all. He should've known a sultry creature like her would set him up.
Naughty girl.
"Come here," she murmured. "I want you to kiss me."
Although Jeremy felt an instant tug on his inner strings, her request put him in an awkward position. Edward was paying him to teach her to ski, not to fuck around. If he was caught, he had no doubt in his mind he would be fired. High Peaks did not permit sexual activity between instructor and student.
He decided to do the right thing. "I'm flattered, Miss Dushku, really, but I don't think—"
She pouted and batted her lashes. "Don't you want me, Mr. Thompson?"
You have no fucking idea. "I could lose—"
Tiva pushed up so quickly he didn't have a chance to react before she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down and on top of her. He sucked in a surprised breath just as her lips brushed against his, exploring, tasting, but it was her lusty moan that did him in. He was a man, and real men with wood to strike a match on couldn't walk away from that much temptation.

You can also take a peak at some of the posters that have passed through my hands (some escaped easier than others).

No fear...restoration can be the way to go.


Certainly a challenging job. I don't know if it's even a job for one person, or if that person could survive it for very long. The "you should have this in your results", "this should be the first result" criticisms will probably come in hot and heavy. Myself, I know that I'm not capable of this kind of job. Sure I'd try to be fair, but I know it would be so hard.
Will a Mahalo ombudsman silence all of Jason's critics? Hell no. However if Jason does put this into place and picks someone who it truly respected and can be honestly impartial, I think it could be a model other companies could replicate for themselves (Flickr for controversial photos, fan fiction, etc).
Who falls into the first seven links on the abortion SERP?
What about hate speech? What should the top seven links for a hate group or racial slur be?
Should we have racial slurs in our index or just dump those search queries to machine search (i.e. should we pun").
Should we link to adult content, how should we do that, and how do we protect kids? Right now Google has a safe search setting–should we model our service after that? Should we dump adult searches over to machine search engines and keep Mahalo as a "safe search" engine?
Do we have a higher ethical and moral benchmark since we are human edited?
I don't have the exact answers for any of those issues. In fact, I've been avoiding dealing with those issues for the first six months while we get the top 25,000 search terms completed. My hope is to first build a community of individuals who respect and trust each other, and then let them debate it.
An outside perspective, even if it didn't provide answers, I think could help guide a discussion. It would also help make sure that anyone could have input without feeling it would have a negative impact on their relationship with Mahalo (i.e. what if one our team disagrees with a position, but does't want to bring it up with the group).
First of all, I agree with Faulkner, the link to Jason's own twitter-esque posting about Jason's frustration with the lack of cut & paste on the iPhone should not be on a site intended to provide "useful information". But that wasn't what raised the biggest question for me.
When I saw that the page had been authored by Conrad Quilty-Harper who writes for Engadget, with links to stuff Conrad himself had written on Engadget it set off all kinds of flashing red lights about bias (which Jason's Ombudsman post was about).
I confess to being an Engadget junky (hey, I read Valleywag religiously, it's not like I have any shame), but the thing is, aside from a stray self-destructive tendency here and there, I don't believe in the notion of "negative asymmetrical risk". That's just a fancy way of saying I don't believe in things with very little upside and huge downside. The downside here, is that people will question, and rightfully so in this case, Mahalo's bias. Certainly this sort of thing will be mocked on Valleywag, but it would be a legitimate question/concern by anyone who raised it.
My advice: don't use Conrad for technology pieces or at the very least, don't let him link to his own pieces because even if they are the best ones, people will wonder about…bias. It's not worth it. Also, because of Jason's history, Mahalo needs a company stance about linking back to stuff in the Weblogs Inc. empire or risk a lot of flack.
Very good catch Robert. We do, in fact, have a rule that folks can not link to themselves or do SERPs that they are involved in. So, Conrad, who is an intern at Mahalo, made a mistake in linking to his own work. It's actually my fault because I asked him to do a serp on all the iPhone problems because I thought it would help people. Of course, I didn't realize that Conrad did not actually go through our Guide training problem.
1. I told the team please never link to me unless that have to because it would look like a silly omission to not have me linked (i.e. on a page about Weblogs, Inc. or Silicon Alley).
2. I asked our editorial director CK Sample to have someone take over the "iPhone Problems" SERP and make sure we are not linking to anything that might look like bias.
I agree 100% that perception is reality and that you're better off avoiding all this. In fact, our radical transparency–that is built into the system–makes debates like this possible. The second we do something that has a hint of bias we will get our butts kicked… AND THAT'S A GOOD THING!
We want to get called out when we make a mistake because it will make the product better. In fact, I'm trying to figure out a way to REWARD people for finding bias or problems on the site.


Super Junior M's Henry is a guest on the most recent episode of "Running Man," where he goes up against cast members and fellow idol stars in a series of games with intense penalties. However, before the games begin, Yoo Jae Suk asks Henry if he recognizes any of the cast members, saying that he heard Henry isn't familiar with Haha. He then adds that he heard Henry doesn't know Kim Jong Kook well either.
"Is there no one here that you know?!" asks Gary. "You know me, right, Henry?" asks Yoo Jae Suk, which Henry confirms.
When asked, he politely bows as he admits that he only saw Ji Suk Jin for the first time that day.
"Oh! We met on the plane, right?!" says Henry, totally excited.
It seems that being a musical prodigy, dancer, member of a boy band, solo artist, composer, and rising variety show star hasn't left Henry much time to watch TV. But he has plenty of time to get to know the cast of "Running Man" as they all compete to avoid the dreaded final penalty. Check out May 24's episode to see the rest!


Hanover is situated right in the heart of Germany. Close to Hanover two of the major highways cross: the A2 from Berlin (east) to Dortmund (west) and the A7 going from Denmark (north) to Austria (south). This also applies to major railroad lines. Additionally the airport "Hannover-Langenhagen (HAJ)" is close and all necessary transport facilities to the convention hotel are given.
The whole network of public transport is splendidly constructed and the airport as well as the main railway station and the convention hotel are easy to reach by subway or S-Bahn. All these places are in the fare zone "Ticketzone Umland", meaning you will need a ticket for two zones which is at 3.60 Euro at the moment (as of Feb 27 2019, Preisliste GVH).
There also is large number of parking spots existent at the convention hotel nevertheless.
The convention itself will – this time(!) – be taking place at the Hotel Hennies (also see Accomodation). This gives us a capacity for up to 200 participants and the most modern equiped conference rooms. This way we are sure to provide reasonable general conditions to this International L-Number Days.


Tragic as it might be, for all the exertion that the vast majority put into purchasing the most effective computers to improve their efficiency, there is next to no thought for a specific significant bit of hardware to make your virtual war room finish. A workstation desk doesn't require as incredible a fortune as it takes to purchasing your desktop or PC however the esteem that it gives in its capacity is almost invaluable. Computer desks give your machine a legitimate place to play out its most indispensable undertakings, and give you the correct territory suited for quality work. Glance around and check out the region around your computer. On the off chance that there is a hill of papers and deny scattered around, taking up each accessible space, as opposed to simply the correct place to be gainful, there is a verifiable issue. There is no reason for not taking the time or investing the push to purchase a generally unassuming corner desk at which you can do your advanced assignments. It tends to be an oak desk or even treated steel tables that you find utilized on a web based posting, inasmuch as you can pull it together in great working stance.
Indeed, even an old composition desk can fill in as a useful place to do your work. Not every person can bear to put resources into an entire home office and outfit it with various diverse working surfaces however a corner desk might be all you require in your great, downtown studio. Those of us who are squatted in quarters have no better reason to not have a committed workstation. Converse with a few seniors, drive around a few squares and you may find that a little inventiveness will yield some great outcomes. Whatever you do, give you're processing wonder the home it merits and it will be a workhorse!
With the end goal to organize and convey advantageously we can expect extra retires and extra stories too. Subsequent to choosing an adjustable standing desk, you need to ensure that you will choose an agreeable seat for work. The ordinary seats are not made for this reason. Most current computer desks are delivered from sheets or MDF Medium Density Fiberboard, albeit a few models are made from normal wood, plastic, metal, and glass. Obviously, on the off chance that you don't care for any of the desks offered available, you can arrange a specially craft desk. There are organizations that offer generation of furniture dependent on individual task and customer prerequisites. There are numerous advancements that a man can utilize.


…Tyburn, Kennington, Hounslow, Wimbledon are all freed from the sad practice: why should it be perpetrated to the disgrace and nuisance of the Port of London? The offences were not, if I remember rightly, peculiar to that Port, but merely the Admiralty jurisdiction is here held. The remains of mortality is a sad sight under any circumstances; under such circumstances it is revolting, disgusting, pitiable, dishonorable to the law's omnipotence, and discreditable to the administrators of the law.
And the author of this? One 'William Sykes', which, since I heard it on the radio first, sounds indistinguishable that noted Dickensian scoundrel Bill Sikes. (Even the genealogy websites list Sykes/Sikes interchangeably). But it makes sense. A serious look at the criminal justice system was being taken in those decades, particularly spurred on by Dickens' work. So it's quite plausible that Sikes, knowing that one day he might fall foul of the law, could write letters urging for more lenient treatment of convicts before he becomes one himself.
Assuming Oliver Twist takes place in 1837, when Sikes is approximately "five-and-thirty", he would have written the letter at the age of twenty-two. Although his early life isn't explored in the book, there's a sense that Sikes had been a villain for many years before Oliver shows up, so writing letters in 1824 isn't implausible. In fact, Sikes would have lived to see the success of his efforts, since gibbeting ended in London in 1834.
The only difficulty with this theory is that the letter sounds nothing like Sikes in the book. His speech is short, brusque and rarely without a threat: the man who says things like "Cause the government, as cares for the lives of such men as you, as haven't half the pluck of curs, lets a man kill a dog how he likes," is unlikely to write in such a different style to Robert Peel.
But games like these bear a considerable resemblance to creating conspiracy theories; there's always an explanation if we search hard enough. There seem to be few Sikes of consequence in the nineteenth century, but Sykes is another matter, including two newly-minted aristocratic families: the Basildon Sykes and the Sledmere Sykes, both ennobled in the 1780s. It's easy to imagine a wayward scion of one of these families who, not long before 1824, abandons or is thrown out of his family. At first he launches a round of letter-writing to find another wealthy family to support him; after that fails, he writes urging prison reform.
There are two other William Sykes of any note in this era, and coincidentally both were born around the Peak District in 1827, just forty miles apart. Nancy is by no means Sikes' only paramour, and in 1827 Sikes might have had enough residual funds to support two mistresses. One of these sons, the one born in Rotherham, attacked a gamekeeper while poaching, and was transported to Australia. He would have been completely forgotten by history except that his letters were discovered by the social historian Alexandra Hasluck, and his biography formed the spine of her study on transported convicts, Unwilling Emigrants.
So while Bill Sikes never existed outside the realm of fiction, I find it fascinating that both of his potential progeny carry these suggestions of Sikes' influence on their lives.
William Sykes' letter to Robert Peel is excerpted in This Sceptred Isle vol. 9: Regency and Reform. The text appears in, among other places, English Historical Documents, 1783-1832 by A. Aspinall.
William Sykes, the chaplain, is briefly mentioned in The Royal Army Chaplains' Department, 1796-1953: Clergy Under Fire, by Michael Francis Snape. This Sykes is presumably the same chaplain listed in Classified digest of the records of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, 1701-1892, though it doesn't give more than his date and place of birth.
William Sykes, the convict, has his own Wikipedia page here. Alexandra Hasluck's book Unwilling Emigrants is now on my to-read list.


It has been one year since the events of "Love Thy Night" and Twilight Sparkle is more than happy to be in her secretive relationship with Princess Luna. Princess Luna, on the other hand, has some date plans made for the night.
Twilight Sparkle has been called to Canterlot for some important matters, and a few awkward moments with Luna may change the fate of her world in one night.
Twilight is out for a night of fun. She spends it with a Lunar Princess. How will it turn out?
Luna feels dread, knowing even before her banishment, both her night and herself have never been appraised by ponies. This changes however, when she realizes that her sister's student has feelings for her AND her night.
Princess Twilight Sparkle and Princess Luna have been secretly dating since Luna's first Nightmare Night upon returning from her thousand-year bannishment. What happens when Luna decides to pop the question?
Who would have known that the pony Twilight viewed as a second mom was actually her birth-mother? Now the secret is out, relations are strained, and life is about to get extremely complicated for Twilight. At least she has Luna, right?
Twilight and Geo are parents now, but the latter is still serving his sentence.
There once was a princess. She went mad and is gone now. Maybe I went mad too, because i'm going to be gone soon. not that i care, but still.
15 years ago, Twilight said goodbye to her friends and stepped through the mirror the last time. Now, it's finally time for a Twilight to once more attend Canterlot High . But she is not THE Twilight - She is her daughter.
Babs Seed is a seed. And seeds can't fly. Babs know this, but she can't help but dreaming about the day, when she learn to fly and show everypony. She'll show them how much she is worth, through flying out and away, through becoming somepony.
Dreams. The one place where we can express our deepest secrets and desires without having to fear anypony ever finding out. After all, in our dreams we're all alone...or are we? There is stories, about a mare, who can walk into ponies dreams, and protect us from nightmares. But what if this mysterious mare one day would step into a dream she was not meant to see?
I enjoyed the story but i have to admit to feeling a little lost at times with the dialouge, I'm not sure if its the grammar or the way Luna speaks, but I can't quite follow what was going on at some points.
Give me an example, and I'll see if I can clarify, or at least see what's the problem.
There is stories, about a mare, who can walk into ponies dreams, and protect us from nightmares.
The smallest one would be that you wrote in authors notes-thingy, who's point of view we're going to read, but in the epilogue, you changed that to simple text. As I already said, nothing major, it somehow just threw me off.
I would've liked to see more of Twilights thoughts here, especially concerning her reasons to fall for Luna. (Shouldn't be too hard to find some reasons, since Luna is... well... Luna, if you know what I mean. ) I also would've liked to read a more elaborate explanation as to why she was able to break Lunas shields surrounding her room so easily. I tend to see Tia and Luna like Thor and Loki - one is a diplomatic stronghold, able to use raw power, if need be, the other seems more fragile first, but is kind of a trickster and a really experienced magical powerhouse... just like Twi. So I imagine it being quite difficult to break a spell made by Luna.
With so much time given, I can easily see Twilight getting lost in her feelings for Luna, and I can see her crush growing into more, maybe even love, yes. But for Luna... although you managed her change of mind to be believable, it still was a little stretch for her to first be panicky about the whole mess and then throw a 'I love you too' out there. That being said, her change of heart altogether came a little too sudden. She's wandering around, wondering why she's thinking this or that, then she looks at some pictures and has some sort of... epiphany? And suddenly, she does everything to make it up to Twilight. I can see that happening - but I can see it happening in a dozen different ways. It feels like there should've been more explanation. Or more time to pass, more dialogue, maybe she confesses to her sister in the end and receives some advice, maybe she wanders the halls of their old castle, remembering how she completely lost it out of feeling rejected and alone, something, anything.
With those nitpicks out of the way: It was a nice story. I smiled a lot, I giggled from time to time and I had to read through without any break. I just had to. I especially liked your portrayal of Tia and her and Lulus way of interacting. It was interesting to get a little peek into their minds by just observing how they chose their words with each other in different situations.
First off, the POV of the epilogue was not written in the A/N because I felt I wanted to dedicat the A/N to the wonderful people who helped me woth this.
B) Show off her hidden feelings for Twilight to the reader.
The spell breacking and stuff you'll have to confront my oartner about, ScratchnTavi. She wrote that part. But don't ask her about Discord, which she added to the story. She asked us not to.
That sounds like you can only place one authors note, at the beginning or end of a chapter - am I right in assuming that? That's something I just didn't know about. Thank you for explaining, though.
It was a personal shield.
Twilight knew that and her strong love for Luna allowed her to simply pass through the spell and enter the room.
Yes, you can only place one A/N. NP.
Ah I see. An interesting idea. Some exposition to that would've been useful, though.
My, that escalated quickly. Could have maybe broke that into two chapters.
While I adore just about anything that is TwiLuna, I had to big problems with this story; everything moved too fast and some of the spelling/grammar mistakes were glaringly bad and kind of threw off the flow of the story for me. Other than that is was a lovely little tail that I wished could have been longer.
Thanks for liking it, despit the problems.
5989697 XD Great; now I will picture her doing that during the last scene.
and desires without having to fear anypony ever finding out.

Case Series
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of lornoxicam (LNX) in the treatment of acute migraine attacks. Material and Methods: This prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted administering either LNX or placebo to patients who were diagnosed with migraine without aura according to the International Headache Society (the year 2004) criteria between 2010 and 2012 Results: Of 44 patients with 120 migraine attacks, 38 were female and rest were males. Mean age was 37.75 ± 9.28 years. Patients recorded using LNX in 87 migraine attacks and placebo in 33 migraine attacks, respectively. Pain intensity scores of the patients were found similar between LNX and placebo groups, statistically. Conclusion: Although oral LNX was found to have efficacy similar to placebo statistically in the treatment of acute migraine attacks, further studies are needed to evaluate appropriately the efficacy of LNX for treatment of acute migraine attacks.

Kalmar, part of Cargotec, has introduced its next-generation automatic stacking crane (ASC) system. Featuring future-proof technology, it is described as the most efficient and productive ASC system ever.
Cranes continue to play a major role in the rental construction equipment market in Saudi Arabia, according to a TechSci research report. The report said growth in the construction sector coupled with easy availability of construction equipment on rent was set to drive the kingdom's construction equipment rental market through 2020.
Alimak Group, the vertical access solution company, has signed an agreement with US-based capital goods manufacturer Manitowoc Company Inc regarding joint development and production of specialised internal tower crane elevators. The agreement covers co-development and distribution of tower crane elevators.
Hitachi Sumitomo Heavy Industries Construction Crane Co Ltd (HSC) has launched the SCX800A-3 80-tonne capacity hydraulic crawler crane.
Liebherr has unveiled the LR 1500 that delivers the load capacities of the 500-tonne crawler crane class throughout its complete operating range, whilst upholding the dimensions and component weights, which have previously been standard in the 400-tonne class.


First, I would like to thank CSANR for generously funding my, and my classmates', attendance at TILTH Conference 2018. Especially for undergraduates like myself, conferences such as TILTH are a welcome departure from the oftentimes synthetic academic track, onto a more organic (no pun intended) professional one.
The Friday farm tour (or, more aptly, warehouse, ranch, and farm tour) was right up my alley, i.e., right where the magic happens, talking to the proverbial "man behind the curtain." Last spring term, I took my capstone course (AFS 401) which was replete with field experiences just like these—touring chickpea processing facilities, farm shops, WSCIA meetings. I learned things a mile-a-minute. It was the same at the TILTH Farm Tour, thanks to Beth Robinette (LINC Foods & Lazy R Ranch), Maurice Robinette (Lazy R Ranch) and Patrick Mannhard and Tarawyn Waters (Urban Eden Farm). Being a Spokanite, all three of these establishments were on my radar—I had even volunteered twice at Urban Eden Farm—but setting foot inside LINC's central-Spokane warehouse and the Robinette's ranchland was revelatory. The LINC warehouse, and Beth's narrative, made sense—this was no small thing. In short, LINC Foods is a worker, farmer—and, see fine print—investor owned cooperative food hub that deals regionally in fruit & vegetable produce, animal products, and grain products (including a burgeoning malt op.)… AND, it's working (pending projected profits in the upcoming fiscal year). Something frustratingly rife in the writ large discourse of sustainable food systems is cart-before-the-horse ideology. LINC (2/7ths of LINC, that is), Beth Robinette and Joel Williamson have defied this trend by (literally) doing their homework (each with MBAs) and taking a sober look at the business viability of LINC before financing the startup. The result? LINC Foods is realizing its mission of building a "regional, sustainable food system by linking local farmers to new markets and ensuring the highest quality products for our customers through democratic enterprise." Food security, buttressing regional economy, progressive business structure. Check, check and check.
Lazy R Ranch, in the same vain as LINC Foods, is equal parts sustainable and pragmatic. Not surprising, seeing as Lazy R is a Robinette family affair. Maurice Robinette practices holistic management on his beef cattle ranch, which as it happens, holds ecological and economic sustainability in equal regard. Much like LINC. Though Maurice is a producer, the sustainability of his ranch is not too dissimilar from Beth's distributer sustainability. Profits are inextricable from the health of the whole system and vice versa.
Thank you, once again, to CSANR for sponsoring this growth experience. I hope to one day have a part in the eastern Washington sustainable food systems movement, as part of LINC Foods or another likeminded organization.

The optimal timing for delivery: analysis of neonatal outcomes by gestational age in patients with placenta previa
Laila Ezzat
Introduction: Placenta previa is an obstetric complication in which the placenta is inserted partially or wholly in the lower uterine segment. It is a leading cause of antepartum haemorrhage (vaginal bleeding). It affects approximately 0.4-0.5% of all labours. Women with placenta previa often present with painless, bright red vaginal bleeding. This commonly occurs around 32 weeks of gestation, but can be as early as late mid-trimester. Much debate has been given to the optimal timing of delivery in cases of placental abnormalities. Given these risks, numerous official organizations have been proponents of active medical management in cases of placenta previa, as well as placenta accreta, increta, and percreta. In particular a prophylactic, elective cesarean delivery prior to the onset of labor is theorized to reduce the rates of spontaneous hemorrhage, which increase proportionally with advancing gestational age. The optimal timing of delivery in placenta previa is an important issue that is understudied in the literature. After all, with the increasing rate of cesarean deliveries, an increase in the incidence of placenta previa is expected to be observed. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study, data files and the case notes was retrieved from the medical records department at Aswan university hospital from January 1/2013 to December 31/2013. in the form of data relating to the age, parity, gestational age, method of termination, perinatal outcomes, and related maternal complications. We sought to compare neonatal outcomes among pregnancies with placenta previa delivered at the late-preterm period, namely 35 and 36 weeks gestation, relative to the early-term period at 37 and 38 weeks gestation, taking 38 weeks gestation as reference. The data was entered in the computer for statistical analysis using one proprietary statistical package which is statistical packages for the social science (SPSS). Results: There were 4284 deliveries during the period under review of these 67 patients had placenta previa the age of the patients ranged from 20- 40 years with average 30 years .The gestational age at delivery ranged from 28 – 39 wksAs regard perinatal morbidity and mortality, 2 cases complicated by IUFD which represents (2.98%). Birth at 35, 36 and 37 weeks was associated with no greater odds of meconiumpassage, fetal distress, fetal anemia, neonatal seizures, increased ventilator needs, or infant death. However, APGAR scores<7 were more common at 35 and 36 weeks 4cases (33%) and 3cases (21%) respectively; as were NICU admission rates:3 cases(25%) and 2 cases(14%) Conclusion: Barringmaternal indications, early-term deliveryin placenta previa appears to be associated with fewerneonatal complications and no greater risk than late-pretermneonatal complications and no greater risk than late-pretermdelivery

Coke sales surge in Q2 as re-openings gain momentum
Friday, July 16, 2021, Vol. 45, No. 29
Coca-Cola Co.'s sales rebounded faster than expected as the impact of the pandemic abated.
The Atlanta-based soft drink giant said its revenue jumped 42% to $10.1 billion in the April-June period. That was well ahead of the $9.3 billion in sales that Wall Street had forecast, according to analysts polled by FactSet.
It was a very different story than the second quarter of 2020, when Coke's sales sank 28%. Coke said sales of its trademark Coca-Cola are now running ahead of 2019 levels thanks to growing demand in Europe, Africa and Latin America.
Case volumes grew 18% to a level that was even with 2019. Coke said some markets, like China, Brazil and Nigeria, are already running ahead of 2019 demand, while others, like India, continue to be under pressure due to the pandemic.
In North America, case volumes rose 17% as restaurants, movie theaters, stadiums and other venues reopened or dropped capacity restrictions. Coke has historically booked half its revenue from such businesses, which were crushed by the pandemic.
Demand for Powerade and other sports drinks was particularly strong, with case volumes up 35% from the same period last year. Coffee sales surged 78% as the company's Costa retail stores reopened in the United Kingdom.
Coke's net income surged 48% to $2.6 billion. Adjusted for one-time items, the company earned 68 cents per share. Analysts had forecast earnings per share of 56 cents.
The company raised its full-year earnings forecast based on its results. It now expects organic revenue growth of 12% to 14% in 2021 __ up from high single-digit growth __ and earnings per share growth of 13% to 15%
Coke's shares were up 2% in premarket trading.

Q: How to measure which spark gap is firing, in a type of Tesla coil, using an Arduino Firstly, I am teaching myself electronics and do not know all the lingo at this point in time.
With that said, I have conceptualized a fun(?) project in the back of my mind which consists of multiple spark gaps (inspired by Tesla coils.)
What I want to do is measure which spark gap fires (A, B or C) and then record the data using an Arduino.
Building the circuit is pretty trivial, recording it without damaging anything is a bit out of my pay grade at this stage in my "career."
The circuit will look like something like this where the sensor would be the "secondary" coil in a typical Tesla coil arrangement (although I do not need the super high voltage.)

How would I use the sensor (or secondary coil) to tell the Arduino, that spark gap A,B or C has just fired?

Over the last few months I've fallen into the mindset of finding my Instagram a burden, and something that I just can't be bothered to keep up with. This is so far from the way I felt when I first started blogging and would post to Instagram three, maybe even four times a day.
This didn't use to bother me so much as when I came across an account I'd followed years ago, I'd just block or unfollow it. Every so often I'd decide I needed a change, and delete all of my photos (this was before the 'archive' feature was even a thing - I've lost so many amazing photos over the years) and change my @ in order to just start my feed over again.
But recently it was just bugging me more than normal. I discussed in my Confessions Of An Instagram 'Cheat' post how when I was in school I would use apps where you could 'earn' likes and followers in order to look more popular amongst the girls in my class. I spent absolutely ages this time last year going through all of my followers and trying to remove the ones that looked fake, but last month I just decided that enough was enough and I may as well start from scratch.
So here I am, trying my absolute hardest to grow my new Instagram account, whilst slowly realising that it's a lot harder thanks it used to be (thanks Instagram, you dicks) and mourning the loss of my 3,000 followers.
But actually, I'm really enjoying it. Somehow I'm posting every day at the moment (a first for me), I've found loads of new, relateable accounts to follow, and slowly but surely my followers are creeping up again. Dreamy.
Pop your Instagram handle in the comments, and I'll be sure to shoot you a follow.
In the meantime, I'm over at @DaintyAlice for all things, pink, girly and gossipy.
Love your Instagram feed! It can be tempting to cheat, but putting the hard work in feels more fulfilling. You can find great accounts, connect with like-minded individuals and be as creative as you like.
I do understand, I started blogging in school and by the time I was in college, I had changed so much that the blog didn't resonate with me and hence I started my new blog, which is my current.
Instagram is such a pain sometimes!! I get so frustrated with it 😫 your feed is lovley, just followed you!
Sometime's a little break and a fresh start is exactly what you need to fall back in love with something you used to love doing. I've definitely fallen in love with Instagram this year, it's my absolute fave platform. Followed your Instagram, you have such a pretty feed.
Sometimes a fresh start is exactly what we need! Your new feed is really lovely! Gave you a follow!

Moffett : NZ may have to sacrifice a Super Rugby team
David Moffett says Super Rugby needs to be cut down
Former NZ Rugby Boss David Moffett says that New Zealand may have to lose a Super Rugby team if the tournament is to survive.
Moffett says that the Super Rugby competition would be "dead in five years" unless Sanzaar reduce the number of teams – which could mean that New Zealand loses a team.
There has been much speculation that one of the South African and one of the Australian teams could drop out of Super Rugby but Moffett is the first to suggest New Zealand could lose a team.
Moffett helped form Sanzar and Super Rugby said that reducing Super Rugby to 12 teams with two full rounds would be the best way forward for Super Rugby to evolve.
Moffett has been a long term critic of Sanzaar's determination to continually expand and was responding to a report that a Sanzaar review suggests that Australia and South Africa could lose a team and the tournament be reduced to 16 teams.
The current 18 team Super Rugby format is unloved by the fans but finding a solution that will continue to fund the Southern Hemisphere game as well as satisfy the fans is difficult.
Consultancy firm Accenture have held talks with the 28 stakeholders, which includes the clubs, national unions and host broadcasters from each country in an effort to find the best way forward for Super Rugby.
The review is still a work in progress but has several proposals including further expansion and also another which sees South Africa losing two teams.
When asked to comment on a potential 16 team format Moffett says that losing two teams will not be enough.
"It doesn't go far enough," Moffett, who labelled the current format as "absolutely pathetic" Moffett told Stuff.
"I know that my views on the future of Super Rugby will not hit a very good chord in New Zealand. I understand that, but what I am talking about is the future of rugby in the southern hemisphere."
If Sanzaar don't reduce the number of teams, he says: "It will be dead in five years. They don't have a choice, in my view. They have tried this expansion model and it is already not working."
Moffett says that a better solution is for the competition to be stripped to 12 teams with New Zealand, Australia and South Africa each having four teams and every team playing each other twice.
"That's a competition that would make sense. A 16 team competition won't make sense, it's still not fair. "
"The problem is Sanzaar thinks it should be developing rugby outside of Europe, which is so patently wrong. It's not their job – their job is to look after their own backyards."
Moffett accepts that cutting a New Zealand team would be a massive call (all five New Zealand teams have won at least one title) but he says it might be necessary.
"It would be dynamite, but you have to evolve. Yes, it would be painful, but until you get a competition that people understand and is fair …"
Moffett says that cutting back to 12 teams would give the broadcasters who fund the game quality and quantity.
Currently many New Zealand fans have elected to watch local derby games instead of Super Rugby and they have little interest in fixtures that include teams from Australia, South Africa, Argentina and Japan due to the quality.
Moffett did however praise New Zealand Rugby for sticking with five Super Rugby teams since the tournament began in 1996 unlike Australia and South Africa.
That was to NZ Rugby's "absolute credit", he stated.
"You need to look no further than that for the dominance of New Zealand rugby. Because their total focus is on five teams, their focus on what is right for their rugby has got them head and shoulders above South Africa and Australia.
"You have to give credit to Tew (chief executive Steve Tew) and his board. They know what to do, so far they have kept it to five teams.
"You can either take the soft option or take the right option. And the soft one is to just continue to grow the number of teams. "
"There are not enough quality players to people that number of teams."

Edwyn Collins at Union Chapel
Edwyn Collins at Union Chapel | Live review
Geoff Maguire
We're lucky to have him here. We really are. In 2005 ex-Orange Juice frontman Edwyn Collins suffered a double brain haemorrhage that left him paralysed and barely able to speak. The resulting disturbance of speech meant that he could only repeat four phrases, over and over: "Yes", "No", "Grace Maxwell" (his wife) and "The possibilities are endless." And indeed they are, judging by the slow but steady recovery that has led him to London's most beautiful venue eight years later.
In 2007, Collins completed a comeback album Home Again and is now touring following the recent release of Understated, his best and most positively reviewed work since his 80s heyday. He slowly arrives on stage, aided by a walking stick and an audience roaring with the goodwill he's built up over the years. He runs through several tracks from the new album, the standouts being lead single Dilemma, Love's Been Good to Me and Too Bad (That's Sad). His son William (who had earlier opened the show with his very decent group Bullies) joins him for the latter and relaxed smiles abound on stage.
The band is very tight and completely at ease with one another. Special mention must go to multi-instrumentalist Carwyn Ellis (from the night's other support act, the excellent psychedelic pop outfit Colorama) and the astonishing guitarist James Walbourne. Collins allows the band free rein, and the sound is much heavier than his recorded solo material or the jangly pop guitars of Orange Juice. This suits the music and gives extra depth to the renditions of his ex-band's hits What Presence, Rip it Up, Falling and Laughing, and Blue Boy.
From his solo catalogue, the beautiful Home Again and the worldwide hit A Girl like You have the adoring crowd fluctuating between tears and rapture. He communicates with difficulty, explaining that singing is second nature yet verbal communication is still a challenge. However, every utterance is greeted with great warmth. There's so much love for Edwyn Collins and he knows it: the night is a pure celebration of a musician's life. Embrace him, treasure him and be very grateful that we still have him.

Genomics insight into the past and present of Antarctic Biodiversity
A tool to assess the fate of a unique ecosystem in a changing world (GAB)
Link to: Equipo

Link to: Colaboración Internacional
International Network Researchers
The Antarctic continent is one of the most pristine and most isolated by the ocean, bathymetry, climate and geographical barriers resulting from the tectonic and climatic events that began in the Eocene. However, the recent acceleration of climate change and anthropogenic pressures can definitely affect Antarctic biodiversity. The Western sector of the Antarctic Peninsula has been described as one of the areas most affected by climate change, therefore, the possibilities of disturbance of this fragile ecosystem have increased, particularly due to the introduction of species and the loss of native biodiversity. . Understanding how Antarctic biodiversity responded to past changes will help us predict the fate of the Antarctic biota by anthropogenic climate change. In this context, our proposal constitutes an associative program of researchers from five national institutions, supported by a collaborative network that includes national and international researchers, who work in the Southern Ocean (OA). Our main objective is to understand the historical and contemporary effects of climate change on the diversification, demographic history and adaptation of Antarctic biodiversity (including microorganisms, invertebrates and vertebrates) based on genomic data. Our data analyzes include approximations to establish population genetic structure, phylogeographic patterns and adaptation. In addition, we will combine the genetic results with data from environmental variables to model the ecological niche and therefore the past distribution (last glacial maximum – UMG), present and future of the different operational taxonomic units (species) and their lineages. This information will make it possible to understand the response and resilience of the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic biota during climate change events and, therefore, predict the fate of this unique biogeographical province in the face of anthropogenic changes.

Oregon and Washington I don't think care as much as the midwest and eastern states... at least not about the California part... Los Angeles, maybe. As for the middle east thing... well. unless they are going to check your passport you can always lie and say you are Canadian if you think it might be better to hide the truth.

Back from Vegas. Saw lots of cool stuff: Trekkies, Trekkers, mermaids, pinball hall of fame, casinos, and stuff. Good weekend thus far.
Saw a few meteorites while in the desert (right after the lightning storm), but here in California it's too overcast to watch the meteor shower.
Yeah, I think Ben got to see one meteor as well. Sky had been clear nearly every night, but on the nights with the meteor shows it was foggy and/or overcast. So not fair!
Yeah, WHAT THE FUCK? It's been overcast in SoCal during almost every meteor shower for the past 3 years. Same thing happened with the Super Moon (thankfully we got a picture just before the clouds rolled in) and a couple lunar eclipses.
The only reason we were able to get a clear view of the Quadratids was because we were in the middle of the desert in Arizona in the middle of the night.
The thing about Washington and Oregon in regards to California is they're sort of like San Francisco's opinion of Los Angeles. The opinion of the south continues to get lower as you go higher. San Francisco thinks its better than L.A. The areas above San Francisco (Humboldt, Redding, Eureka, Santa Rosa, etc) think they're better than them. Oregon (specifically Portland) is of the mind that they're better than that group, and Washington (Seattle, etc) believes it's better than the whole lot.
A lot of people feel this is a hipster thing since the rank of hipster increases as you go north on the westcoast, it's been like this is far as I can remember. Every now and then a list will go out that will piss everyone off about L.A. being the most unlivable city and Seattle being the best.
It's all rather stupid if you ask me. Each place has stuff that makes it awesome and stuff that makes it suck. People that try to say otherwise are just fucking delusional.
Yeah, the whole thing came up as a joke when Stephen Colbert said he wasn't sure if he's called Oregon "California's Canada" or "Washington's Mexico."
Funny thing, apparently this friend of mine, who lives in Cerritos, is yet again bitching about San Francisco being better than L.A. on Facebook. A week ago she was at my house throwing a fit about this mutual acquaintance from the Bay Area who always goes on about it being better than here. It's funny how serious the topic becomes.
I wonder what would happen if these wing-nut conservatives actually manage to break SoCal away from NorCal and create their own state, like they've been trying to do lately. I could see it being financially stronger, but it would definitely be redder and would need to figure out what to do for water since I'm certain the north would cut off the L.A. aqueduct and any other water sources the Southland pulls from just to survive. No telling what would happen to the undocumented immigrants.
From what I remembered seeing of the proposed split, Los Angeles would be left in "the north" and it would be basically everything south and east of the LA County lines. They think Los Angeles is too liberal to be included apparently.
It would be amusing to see how fast they would fail, but it would suck for a lot of people that I know who live in Orange County and work in places like Long Beach, San Pedro, Lakewood, Cerritos, etc.
I've been hearing the "San Francisco is so much better" crap from my uncle since I was a kid... yet he will still drop everything to come down and run around Hollywood for a week. I honestly have never gotten to do much when I have been up there visiting him... I have vague memories and photographs of a park, the zoo, Chinatown, and the Wharf. Normally it is "get him, come home" or "drop him off, go home"... and the one "visit, dinner, home" that we did on our way back from Oregon when my leg was in a cast (my only trip to Oregon).
Despite the "outsider" vibe I get from being from California, people seem really interested when I tell them it is where I am from. A lot of them have asked why the hell I left sunny SoCal and the beaches to move here... though they all do quickly understand the "it's cheaper here" response I get. They also all think I am some kind of alien for loving the winter here.
Ha, didn't realize they would place the border there, but then again I'm not surprised having spent a chunk of my college years in the O.C., covering events in Fullerton and Santa Ana for the paper. Like just before an event, this speaker actually introduced a student speaker as being a "South County native," which was greeted with "oohs" and loud applause. South County is where the wealthier communities of Orange County are. I felt like I was in the South for a second. The O.C. is also notoriously RED and HATES Los Angeles.
Funny thing, Santa Ana has the largest Latino community in the state, supposedly. But I could swear San Diego's was larger.
In all honesty, I love the Bay Area, BUT I will not argue that one end of the state is better than the other. I WILL however defend Los Angeles to the death if someone wants to play that stupid game.
So, working at a grocery store is interesting. I'm kinda intimidated and impressed by the coupon ladies. There are some that come into the store with folders of coupons in sleeve like nerds use for collectible cards. Fucking folders!
Went to a friend's birthday dinner a couple nights ago. Turns out Brandon and I were the only people who showed up despite there being many people invited and several who said they'd come on Facebook.
Worse than that, his girlfriend had miscarried that morning.
What the fuck, world?
Oh wow that fucking blows. Send my condolences? That is just s shitty fucking day normally, but on your birthday? That is just wrong!
You know what sucks? Staying up all night because you have the next day off, then getting called into work the next morning.
So some time back, Elara asked in the answer-ask thread what would be my ideal pizza and I decided to put it into practice. Got some rosemary focaccia bread, garlic alfredo sauce, and capicola, and just grated a lot of mozzarella off the brick we have, chopped up some onion and mushrooms, and threw on some turkey and salami and baked it all in a Pyrex dish (since I don't have a deep dish).
Not long after pulling it out of the oven, it was GONE. At least I got a slice.
Looking forward to going to the museum tomorrow. Been dying to see the new Dinosaur Hall. Had fun running around the Griffith Observatory with steampunks.
Allllll right, Hell's Kitchen tonight. I'm not leaving the house.

Steampunk Einstein looks awesome.
So, now I want to make my own pizza. Damn you!

Had a great day hanging around Exposition Park, running between museums.
So no doing anything big until the trip in a month and a half. REALLY need to save money.
Watching the new episode of The Guild. It's been a good day, well, except for the thing that'll be mentioned in "Fuck You."

I hate it.
It's a webseries about a group of people who play an MMORPG together and decide to meet in person, and thus begins the comedy of their offline lives together.
The main character is Codex (played by Felicia Day), a self-conscious, former child prodigy with so many mental hang-ups even her therapist "fired" her. Every episode starts out with her talking to her Webcam, ala LonelyGirl15.
The other characters all have different quirks and things that annoy the others. Don't want to give too much away on that.
Each episode is like 2-9 minutes long, and they're up to season 5 now. My boyfriend and I got to be extras for a few episodes since they filmed the majority of the fifth season at a comic convention in Long Beach (tons of secret, special guests).
The entire series is watchable on their website: WatchTheGuild.com (you can seriously power through several seasons in a day)
I do warn ya. Since it all started as Felicia Day starting her own thing, the quality of the first season pales in comparison to the latter seasons. It just goes to show when you start small, you can still achieve greatness. It gets better as you watch.
A while back they also put out a music video to advertise their third season and it went viral. It shows them dressed as their in-game personalities (which you never see until the fourth season since the series is almost entirely just about their offline lives):

Haha. Defintely can see how this is addictive. And that video is great. Hahahaha.

Q: Find some examples which have this property $\lim_{n\to{\infty}}f(n+x)\neq\lim_{n\to{\infty}}f(n)$. Let $f$ be a real function. Can anyone help me giving an example with the following property
$\lim_{n\to{\infty}}f(n+x)\neq\lim_{n\to{\infty}}f(n) \quad; n\in\mathbb{N}$
for this purpose, I think that I should follow the functions with the following property
$$f(a+b)=f(a)f(b) $$
It is same as exponential function but it doesn't work.

A: Try
$$f(x) = \sin(2\pi x).$$
Then $f(n) = 0$ for all $n$, so $\lim_{n \to \infty} f(n) = 0$. But, if we take $x = \frac{1}{4}$, then
$$\lim_{n \to \infty} f(x + n) = \lim_{n \to \infty} 1 = 1.$$

A: Alt. hint:   let $\,f\,$ be the Dirichlet function and $\,x = \sqrt{2}\,$, then the limits are $\,0\,$ and $\,1\,$, respectively.


In this paper, the generalized diffusion equation with perturbation ut = A(u, ux)uxx + ϵB(u, ux) is studied in terms of the approximate functional variable separation approach. A complete classification of these perturbed equations which admit approximate functional separable solutions is presented. Some approximate solutions to the resulting perturbed equations are obtained by examples.
Key words: Diffusion Equation; Approximate Functional Separable Solutions; Approximate Functional Variable Separation Approach.
