BERLIN - Sirois Tool Co., Inc. recently hosted a facility tour for students from Vinal Technical High School of Middletown to educate them about career options in manufacturing and to help them make a more informed decision when selecting a career.
Sirois Tool employees spoke with the students before showing them the shop. The group included Alan Ortner, president; Andre Nadeau, operations manager; Scott Horton, production manager; Cheryl DiPinto, human resource manager; Dane Hoeffer, quality manager; two Sirois employees who are Vinal Tech graduates; and a Vinal Tech senior who is a pre-apprentice employee at Sirois Tool.
Sirois employees spoke to the students about the benefits of manufacturing careers, opportunities, and skills needed to work in the field. The employees also told students how they got to the positions they currently hold.
The students were accompanied by Michael Hood, head of the Precision Machining Department at Vinal Tech. During the tour, students had a chance to indroduce themselves and talk about their career goals.
They also talked about the expectations of Hood's class. The students who took part in the facility tour are who are involved in a work-based learning program through which they are able to work for a company during the shop cycle of the program.
Students were guided through the different departments at Sirois Tool and they learned about the operations held in each area of the facility. They were also able to examine and touch some of the parts made at Sirois Tool and later asked questions about the equipment and materials used by the company.
Ortner, the president of Sirois Tool, said it's not the first time the company has given student tours to help them learn about careers in manufacturing.
"I think is an important thing for us to be doing to attract quality students into the manufacturing technology program at Vinal Tech," Ortner said.
Sirois Tool has a partnership for the apprenticeship programs with Vinal Tech and Goodwin Technical High School in New Britain. In addition, the company offers tuition reimbursement for their employees who are enrolled in career programs related to their jobs or manufacturing.
"We are trying to build that workforce too," Ortner said.
Sirois Tool specializes in precision tool and gage manufacturing and it supports various industries including bearing manufacturing, medical, aerospace, firearms and military projects.

CMYK are the four inks used in some color printing: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key. This is a subtractive color model. The ink is usually applied in the order of the abbreviation but depending on different operators some may do it different. The CMYK model is subtractive because it "subtracts" brightness from the white substrate it's being printed on. In otherwords the model works by partially or entirely masking colors on a lighter, mainly white, background and the ink reduces the light rather then reflecting it.
Some people suggest that the "K" in CMYK is from the last letter in black because the letter B is already used for blue. Although this is useful for memory it is incorrect. In four-color printing there are plates that are carefully keyed or aligned with the key of the black key plate. The "K" stands for the key that locks these colors together and allows for a wider array of colors.

Selective non-operative management for penetrating abdominal injury in a Dutch trauma centre
Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England , Volume 102 - Issue 5 p. 375- 382
INTRODUCTION: Selective non-operative management (SNOM) for penetrating abdominal injury (PAI) is accepted in trauma centres in South Africa and the US. Owing to the low incidence of gunshot wounds (GSWs) in Western Europe, few are inclined to practise SNOM for such injuries although it is considered for stab wounds (SWs). This study evaluated the outcome of patients admitted to a Dutch level 1 trauma centre with PAI. METHODS: A retrospective study was undertaken of all PAI patients treated over 15 years. In order to prevent bias, patients admitted six months prior to and six months following implementation of a treatment algorithm were excluded. Data concerning type of injury, injury severity score and treatment were compared. RESULTS: A total of 393 patients were included in the study: 278 (71%) with SWs and 115 (29%) with GSWs. Of the 178 SW patients in the SNOM group, 111 were treated before and 59 after introduction of the protocol. The SNOM success rates were 90% and 88% respectively (p=0.794). There were 43 patients with GSWs in the SNOM cohort. Of these, 32 were treated before and 11 after implementation of the algorithm, with respective success rates of 94% and 100% (p=0.304).The protocol did not bring about any significant change in the rate of non-therapeutic laparotomies for SWs or GSWs. However, the rate of admission for observation for SWs increased from 83% to 100% (p<0.001). There was a decrease in ultrasonography for SWs (from 84% to 32%, p<0.001) as well as for GSWs (from 87% to 43%, p<0.001). X-ray was also used less for GSWs after the protocol was introduced (44% vs 11%, p=0.001). CONCLUSIONS: SNOM for PAI resulting from either SWs or GSWs can be safely practised in Western European trauma centres. Results are comparable with those in trauma centres that treat high volumes of PAI cases.

Q: Angular RXJS need to understand how service works Can someone please help me to understand this code
Here is a Service
https://github1s.com/NG-ZORRO/ng-zorro-antd/blob/HEAD/components/core/config/config.service.ts
and the service method is called from
https://github1s.com/NG-ZORRO/ng-zorro-antd/blob/HEAD/components/alert/alert.component.ts
I need to understand what this method getConfigChangeEventForComponent in constructure() method actually do.

A: It's always better to put the code in your question :-)
Here's the method:
  getConfigChangeEventForComponent(componentName: NzConfigKey): Observable<void> {
    return this.configUpdated$.pipe(
      filter(n => n === componentName),
      mapTo(undefined)
    );
  }

From looking at getConfigChangeEventForComponent, you can see it is simply filtering the configUpdated$ stream to emit only when the specified component has changed.  Then, it simply returns undefined, which implies that the value isn't useful, but only knowing that the config for a specific componentName has changed.
Essentially, this method returns an observable that emits when the config changes for the specified component.
If the method simply returned this.configUpdated$, then the observable would emit whenever any change was made to any component. However, a couple operators are applied to control when the returned observable emits:

*

*filter() is used to only allow emissions where the emitted value equals the provided componentName.

*mapTo() is used to simply always return undefined to subscribers.

The set() method on the service is what causes configUpdated$ to emit (by calling .next():
  set<T extends NzConfigKey>(componentName: T, value: NzConfig[T]): void {
    this.config[componentName] = { ...this.config[componentName], ...value };
    this.configUpdated$.next(componentName);
  }

From searching in githubs1 editor, I didn't see any references that called the set() method, but searching github directly showed various places:

BEIJING and URUMQI, China, Aug. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- China Lending Corporation ("China Lending" or the "Company") (CLDC), a non-bank direct lending corporation servicing micro, small and medium sized enterprises (MSME), currently underserved by commercial banks in China, today reported its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
The Company issued 3 loans with an aggregate amount of $1.21 million during the first half of 2018, compared to 265 loans with an aggregate amount of $156.3 million for the same period in 2017.
Interest and fee income decreased by $16.18 million, or 99.7%, to $0.05 million from $16.23 million for the same period of 2017 mainly due to a significant decrease in loans issued since the second half of 2017.
Net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders was $52.16 million, or net loss of $2.83 per diluted share for the first half of 2018 compared to net income attributable to ordinary shareholders of $7.88 million, or net income of $0.47 per diluted share, for the first half of 2017.
Loans receivable was $69.06 million as of June 30, 2018, compared to $117.26 million at the end of 2017. Provision for loan losses was $47.64 million for the first half of 2018, compared to $2.06 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was mainly related to certain overdue loans as certain customers, particularly tire supply chain financing customers, were facing financial difficulties during the first half of 2018.
For the six months ended June 30, 2018, total interest and fee income, which include interest and fees on direct lending loans, financial advisory fees and interest on deposits with banks, decreased by $16.18 million, or 99.7%, to $0.05 million from $16.23 million for the same period in 2017. The decrease was mainly due to a significant decrease in loans issued since the second half of last year.
The Company used borrowed funds, including short-term bank loans, secured loan and loans from a cost investment investee, to fund its direct lending business. Total interest expenses accrued increased by $1.06 million, or 43.1%, to $3.52 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $ 2.46 million for the same period of last year mainly due to increased interest and penalty from overdue loans. The loans with the amount of $41.83 million were overdue.
Provision for loan losses increased by $45.58 million to $47.64 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $2.06 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was mainly related to certain overdue loans as certain customers were facing financial difficulties during the six months ended June 30, 2018 which caused increased provision percentages. We are closely monitoring the situation with those customers.
At the end of each period, we conduct an aging analysis of each customer's arrears to determine whether the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. In establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts, we consider historical experience, the economic environment, trends in the construction industry, expected collectability of amounts receivable that are past due, and the expected collectability of overdue receivables. An estimate of doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Known bad debts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when identified. After reviewing individual balances, we provide a provision of 50% for account receivables past due more than 90 days but less than one year which was increased from 25% at the end of 2017, 62.5% for accounts receivable past due more than 180 days but less than one year which was increased from 50% at the end of 2017, 100% for accounts receivable past due beyond one year, plus additional amounts as necessary. As a result, additional allowance of $25.33million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018.
After deducting for interest expense and provision for loan losses, net interest loss was $51.11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of $62.82 million, or 536.4%, from net interest income of $11.71 million for the same period in 2017 was mainly due to the decrease in total interest income, increase of provision for loan losses and increase of total interest expenses.
Salaries and employee surcharges decreased by $0.39 million, or 61.5%, to $0.25million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $0.64 million for the same period of last year. Business and other taxes decreased by $0.14 million, or 124.3%, to $0.03million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $0.11 million for the same period in 2017. Other operating expenses decreased by $0.26 million, or 23.9%, to $0.83million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $1.09 million for the same period in 2017. As a result, total non-interest expenses decreased by $0.77 million, or 42.3%, to $1.05 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from $1.82 million for the same period in 2017. which mainly due to the following reasons: (1) the decrease in employee expenses due to departure of certain employees; (2) the decrease in business taxes and other taxes in line with the decrease in total interest income; and (3) the decrease in expenses related to travel, entertainment and other professional activities as a result of headcount reduction.
Loss before income taxes was $52.16 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to income of $9.89 million for the same period of last year.
Income tax expense was nil for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $1.67 million for the same period of last year.
As a result of the above, net loss was $52.16 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to net income of $8.22 million for the same period of last year. After deducting for dividend paid for Series A convertible redeemable preferred stock, net loss allocated to ordinary shareholders was $52.16 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to net income of $7.88 million for the same period of last year.
Basic and diluted loss per share were $2.83 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to basic and diluted income per share were $0.49 and $0.47, respectively, for the same period in 2017.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company's loans covered over seven industries, including supply chain financing, commerce & service, agriculture, real estate, manufacturing, energy and mining and consumer credit. The Company issued 3 loans with total loan amount of $1.21 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $0.62 million, compared to $1.22 million as of December 31, 2017. Net loans receivable was $69.06 million as of June 30, 2018, compared to $117.26 million at the end of 2017. Short-term bank loans, loans from a cost investment investee and secured loan were $11.72 million, $15.07 million and $15.04 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2018, compared to $11.97 million, $15.37 million and $15.34million, respectively, as of December 31, 2017.
The capital liquidity of the Company was also influenced consequently due to a decrease in cash inflows provided by operating activities. The company's operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and if the Company will be able to maintain profitability and continue growth for the foreseeable future. If management is not able to increase revenue and /or manage operating expense in line with revenue forecasts, the Company may not be able to maintain profitability.
Although the Company believes that it can realize its current assets, the Company's ability to repay its current obligations will depend on the future realization of its current assets. Management had considered the historical experience, the economy, trends in the supply chain industry, the expected collectability of the loans receivables, and provided for an allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2018. The Company expects to realize the balances net of allowances within the normal operating cycle of twelve months period. If the Company is unable to realize its current assets within the normal operating cycle of twelve months period, the Company may have to consider its available source of funds through the financing from the PRC banks, third parties and other financial institutions given the Company's credit history, enhance the collection on the overdue loans from customers by negotiation new payment terms, repayments of loans with collateral in the form of rights to cash, securities or property and equipment, as well as look for strategic investors to restructure and optimize our assets.
Based on the above considerations, the Company's management is of the opinion that it has sufficient funds to meet the Company's working capital requirements and debt obligations. However, there is no assurance that management will be successful in their plan. There are a number of factors that could potentially arise that could result in shortfalls to the Company's plan, such as the demand for the Company's collateral, economic conditions, collections of the overdue loans receivables, the Company's operating results not continuing to deteriorate and the Company's banks, third parties and shareholders being able to provide continued financings. If management is unable to execute this plan, there would likely be a material adverse effect on the Company's business. All of these factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2018 have been prepared on a going concern basis and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classifications of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The Company's loans included short-term bank loans, secured loan and loans from a cost investment investee and all the loans were overdue as of June 30, 2018. The Company has reached settlement agreements with Zhengxin Financing Guarantee Co., Ltd and Urumqi Changhe Financing Guarantee Co., Ltd. to repay the principals and penalties totaled RMB56.02 million no later than October 30, 2020.
On January 16, 2018, the Company received a subpoena from Xinjiang superior people's court. China Great Wall Assets Management Co, Ltd. sued the Company and its guarantors for a default on the loan, plus penalties. The case is in the process. The company is actively negotiating with China Great Wall Assets Management Co, Ltd and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank about the debt restructuring, but there is no agreement achieved.
On July 6, 2018, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with two institutional investors for a registered direct placement of approximately $2.0 million from selling its ordinary shares at a price of $2.60 per share. The Company issued a total of 769,232 ordinary shares to institutional investors. As part of the transaction, the Company issued to the investors Series A warrants to purchase up to 576,924 ordinary shares at an exercise price of $2.60 per share, which warrants have a term of four (4) years from the date of issuance. The investors also received Series B warrants with an initial face amount of 200,000 ordinary shares, which are subject to adjustment not in excess of an aggregate of 462,843 ordinary shares for nominal consideration. The transaction was closed on July 10, 2018.
On May 21, 2018, the Company announced the expansion of its service offerings with the launch of its financial leasing services. The financial leasing services will be operated through its two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Xinjiang Xin Quan Financial Leasing Co. Ltd. and Ningbo Ding Tai Financial Leasing Co. Ltd., which are registered in Khorgas Boarder of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and Ningbo of Zhejiang Province, respectively. Both subsidiaries will benefit from a corporate income tax exemption for their initial five years, and half exemption for following five years.
On May 08, 2018, the Company entered into agreement with Xinjiang Heli Kaiyuan Construction Co., Ltd ("Heli Kaiyuan) to transfer 33.33% equity shared of Xinjiang Xin Quan Financial Leasing Co., Ltd. ("Xin Quan") with consideration of $nil. Then, Xin Quan's board of directors passed a resolution to increase the registered capital to USD 50 million from USD 30 million. And on the same day, the Company signed shareholding entrustment agreement with Heli Kaiyuan to state that Heli Kaiyuan holds 20% equity interest in Xin Quan on behalf of the Company. As a result, the Company holds 60% equity interest in Xin Quan. On August 06, 2018, the change in registration has been completed.


Lynette Hoke at an event in Southwest Asia. The Wells Fargo team member is deployed with the Minnesota National Guard.
When Lynette Hoke first enlisted in the military in 2003, she was 21 and drawn to the idea of getting paid to travel the world.
Today, "after multiple deployments, many months, and many years overseas," the 36-year-old veteran says her service means even more: the ability to give back to something bigger than herself.
Drag the slider bar left or right to learn more about Lynette Hoke's military and civilian life.
Today, Hoke is deployed and serving as a public affairs specialist in the Minnesota National Guard. She's also a communications consultant for Wells Fargo's Wholesale Banking division in Minneapolis and credits the company for allowing her to serve in dual roles.
Wells Fargo has made a commitment to employ military veterans, veterans with disabilities, and active military personnel.
Hoke's experience exemplifies Wells Fargo's ongoing effort to ease the transition from military to civilian life. The company supports uniformed services team members who return to work after active duty with a variety of jobs, confidential resources, educational information, and career guidance.
While serving overseas, Hoke sent dispatches about her experiences serving in the military and transitioning to a civilian role.
Play the audio to hear Hoke's answers, or read her responses below.
Q: Why did you enlist in the military?
A: I first enlisted with the Minnesota Army National Guard in 2003 because I was going to school with somebody of the unit that I would eventually join. She told me all about the mission that they do. At the time I was going to school for communications anyway, and it really instilled a sense of pride and an outlet that I could give back to something bigger than myself. My father was an Air Force veteran so it was kind of strange to him why I'd want to join the Army, but away I went, and in 2012, I made the jump to the Minnesota Air National Guard and have been serving ever since, still as a public affairs specialist.
Q: What was it like when you first joined the Minnesota National Guard?
A: When I first joined the Minnesota National Guard in 2003, after I raised my right hand and swore in, I was going to go to basic training just a few months later. My father, being an Air Force veteran, really couldn't speak to any of the Army training that I'd be going through. That moment in my life really gave clarity to the old saying, "the fear of the unknown." But that unknown, I got through it, and it made me a stronger, better person that I am today.
Q: Why did you decide to leave active military life for civilian life?
A: I really started thinking about updating my resume and expanding my professional wings when I saw my peers starting to make the same transition. Surprisingly, this transition wasn't easy. Whether it was their position in the military and how that experience transferred to the civilian life, or just personal experiences were getting in the way, it really kind of made me think about my way ahead.
Q: What did you notice when you first transitioned into a civilian job?
A: Transitioning from a military career to a civilian career can be challenging for a few reasons, I believe. In the military, your success, your promotion, your way forward is usually pretty spelled out for you. As we call it, you check the box. Everybody above you knows what you need to do: check the box. Once you've checked all the boxes, you can go forward. In my experience with the civilian sector, things aren't as spelled out as they were in the military. Your way forward isn't just checking the box. It's subjective. You need that constructive criticism. You need that feedback. And that way forward sometimes is unknown. I believe for some service members, especially depending on the job they are coming from, can really lend a lot of frustration.
Q: How has your military service helped your civilian career?
A: I think one of the ways my service in the Minnesota National Guard has strengthened my work ethic and expertise is in my ability to innovate. Whether I was by myself or with a team, sometimes you just don't have what you need to get the job done, but there's still a job to be done. And you'll find out quickly there's always a way to get to the end result.
Q: What would you say to others who are transitioning from military to civilian life?
A: One of the things I would love for transitioning veterans to know as they're looking for civilian employment after military life is to, one, take updating your resume very seriously, and two, keep the faith that there are many companies like Wells Fargo that really support their veterans, whether you're completely transitioning from active duty or you're still serving on a part-time basis in the Guard or Reserve, they're out there, and they're out there to support your desire to serve our country.

The Spice Girls' tour kicked off in Vancouver, Canada, on Dec. 2, and has also included stops in Britain, the United States, Spain and Germany. The concerts being canceled were to be held in the cities of Sydney, Beijing, Cape Town and Buenos Aires, the statement said.

The sensational supernatural story of Easter begins with the Demigod Jesus Christ. It is a celebration of his resurrection after being crucified by the Romans in about 30 AD. As the son of the Omniverse God, he possessed Omnikinetic powers or the full range of psychokinetic powers available in this particular reality. However, they were watered down somewhat as he chose to be born in biological form to experience what it was to live as a human. Despite this, he still should have had no issue overpowering the Romans when they captured him.

We don't use many ingredients in our Chain Bridge Honey skincare (long lists of indecipherable, toxic chemicals are not really our thing), but the ones we do use are used with good reason. You may have noticed a few recurring oils that we like to include in our lip balms, hand creams and ointments and one of those is almond oil.
Almond oil really is wonderful stuff that has been used for thousands of years in many cultures for it's fantastic health and beauty benefits, so it would be remiss to not use it in our products!
Rich in vitamin E, essential fatty acids, proteins and much more this is one thing that should be a staple in everyone's skincare routine, whatever your age or skin type.
Almond oil is incredibly gentle and mild, so much so that it is even suitable to use on a baby's skin – sweet almond oil as a sole product is in fact one of the most popular choices for baby massage oil, which just tells you how kind the the skin it must be.
We know that you don't have to be a baby to have sensitive skin though, this can be an issue at any time in life, so we always like to make sure that our products are mild enough (yet still effective) for all skin types.
It's not unusual to see adverts for many skincare products shouting about the benefits of vitamin E, but where in synthetic based products this is usually an extra added ingredient, vitamin is comes naturally in almond oil.
Vitamin E is definitely something worthwhile having in your skincare products as it is a potent antioxidant which works to block free radicals and slow the ageing process of skin. It also works wonders on dry skin, in it's natural form, such as in almond oil.
Almond oil is fantastic for treating a number of dry, itchy skin conditions from eczema to skin rashes and so including it in our healing, soothing ointments was a must!
Naturally high in zinc, almond oil helps to reduce inflammation and relieve sore or burning sensations that can come hand in hand with many skin conditions.
Collagen is key to achieving smooth, supple, wrinkle free skin and it just so happens that the proteins found in almond oil are full of this! It also provides many essential amino acids which are required in the production of collagen within the body.
The almond oil used in our products is very easily absorbable and so all of this goodness will be going right in.
We include almond oil in our peppermint foot balm and foot cream not only for all the points above, but also for it's ability to relieve muscular aches and pains to great effect.
As previously mentioned, almond oil contains high levels of protein, which are easily and readily absorbed by aching muscles to aid in their rejuvenation and repair. There is also evidence to suggest that almond oil can relieve muscle pain by drawing out excess toxins, which is particularly effective through the feet.
You may have noticed that among our list of natural ingredients, avocado oil is a regular feature and that's no mistake! Avocado oil is wonderful stuff which has remarkable skin, hair and health benefits, which is why we love using it in many of our skincare products.
Avocado fruit (yes, fruit!) is one of the few natural food products readily available that contains an incredible amount of healthy fat, called oleic acid. Often when people hear the word 'fat' they're instantly put off, thinking that must mean it's bad for your health, but not so when it's the good kind. Our bodies require a certain amount of healthy fat to function correctly and your hair and skin really show off those benefits.
Avocado oil is pressed from the pulp of avocados and is almost a 70% oleic acid! You absolutely can eat avocado oil if you want to (we love using food friendly ingredients in our products – what goes onto your skin should be fine to go into your skin too; it is very absorbent after all!), but by putting it directly onto your skin you can reap the rewards in a more targeted way.
The oleic acid speeds up skin regeneration and wound healing, it reduces inflammation and it even helps to fight infections.
Vitamin E is a popular one for skincare products and avocado oil has incredibly high amounts of it – in fact, it's actually one of the top five foods highest in vitamin E! So why is that a good thing for your skin?
The vitamin E in avocado oil is well known for it's skin benefits, by helping to defend against oxidative damage to skin cells whilst boosting the overall health of your skin.
Another important point about the vitamin E in avocado oil is that it is very easily absorbed by the skin, meaning that all those wonderful nutrients get right through to where it needs to be!
As mentioned above, the oleic acid in avocado oil has a brilliantly high concentration of anti-inflammatories, but what does this mean for your skin?
Avocado oil is a soothing and very thick substance that will skin on the surface of the skin for a short time rather than instantly soaking in. This is a great thing when it comes to many uncomfortable skin conditions, as it allow the anti-inflammatory properties in the oleic acid to work their magic there and then.
Avocado oil is an effective and natural treatment for insect bites and stings, sunburn, eczema, psoriasis and many more skin ailments, as it will almost instantly sooth itching and speed up healing, giving your skin time to recover.
Even when applied topically, avocado oil can help to detoxify your whole body. As it is so easily and readily absorbed by the skin, the avocado oil in our skincare products can work wonders inside and out.
Avocado oil comes from a lush, green fruit that is jam packed with chlorophyll which is a natural source of magnesium, as there is a magnesium ion at the core of each chlorophyll molecule. When this comes into contact the the natural acid produced by the human body, this magnesium ion is released, meaning you get to use up that lovely magnesium, but the chlorophyll is left with an empty space for a new metal.
This is great news for us, as that space can then be filled with toxic metals that are accumulated within the human body, making them harmless before expelling them out when you go to the loo! Science and beauty at it's best!
Want to try our skincare products containing avocado oil? Find them here.
Perusing our products? Then you'll probably have noticed that we don't just use lovely stuff from bees, we also harness the benefits of natural essential oil to make sure that you're getting top notch care and results.
Essential oils are highly concentrated oils created by extracting directly from the flower, fruit, bark, leaf, root or even seed of a plant or tree. They are typically made using a slow process of steaming distillation, which separates the water and oil of a plant, leaving you with the most powerful healing properties and a strong aroma in just a single drop.
You might be familiar with essential oil in that you know it smells amazing without the use of synthetic perfume, but did you know that they also have loads of beauty boosting qualities and the ability to help with all sorts of skin conditions?
Here at Chain Bridge Honey, we always want you to get the most out of our products and one way to do that is to make sure you're treating yourself and your loved ones to the right skincare.
If you've read our recent blog 'Bee Propolis – The Health & Beauty Benefits', you'll know all about why Propolis is such a wonderful ingredient. Our honey has some similar qualities too, in that it's anti-bacterial, full of anti-oxidants, moisturising and soothing, but what about the essential oil we use?
You'll find Geranium essential oil in one of our honey and beeswax hand creams and for starters, aside from it's beneficial properties, you're going to adore the fresh, green botanical scent!
Our Geranium hand cream is a fantastic choice for anyone with sore, over-worked hands or older hands that need a bit of TLC, due to it's ability to minimise inflammation, speed up healing, fight infections, act as a natural painkiller and even reduce wrinkles.
For those of you that love gardening, you might find that this becomes a bit of a must-have, particularly in summer months, as Geranium essential oil also acts as a natural insect repellent and bug bite healer.
Most commonly known for it's inclusion in Earl Grey tea, Bergamot is a beautiful, stimulating, light citrus scent with a multitude of medicinal and beauty uses.
Used in one of our moisturisers, this is a perfect option for anyone with scarring due to Bergamot being an effective Cicatrisant – something that helps scars and other skin markings to disappear and evens out the distribution of pigments and melanin, leading to even skin tone.
We use Rose Absolute essential oil in our honey rich moisturiser and once you try it for yourself, you'll be glad we did! Rose Absolute essential oil is one of the most widely used oils in beauty products, despite being one of the most highly valued.
Rose essential oil has the most incredible ability to create gorgeous, glowing skin that is deeply nourished. It is also a miracle worker when it comes to reducing inflammation, so a bit of a god-send for anyone suffering from skin flare ups.
Who doesn't want minty fresh toes?! We certainly love it and we're sure you will too, the addition of peppermint oil to our foot balm and foot cream offers a wonderful tingling and uplifting sensation that can't be beaten.
Peppermint essential oil is often used as a natural muscle pain relief, so it will help to melt away any tension in your feet. It can also help to reduce headaches and support digestion – who knew a foot rub could have so many benefits?
Lavender is such a popular scent that we've used it for all three of our beauty products: hand cream, moisturiser and lip balm. Spoil yourself with our Lavender gift box!
Lavender essential oil is one of the most gentle of all and is known particularly for being soothing and sleep inducing, making this moisturiser the perfect night-time treatment.
Not only does Lavender help to keep you relaxed and in good spirits, but it also helps to heal even the most sensitive skin.
Tea Tree essential oil is one that you've probably heard of before, and we had to include it in one of our natural ointments really!
On its own, Tea Tree is a household favourite for healing any cuts, grazes or infections due to its potent anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and immune boosting properties; so when teamed with a whopping 20% of Chain Bridge Honey (along with a few other healing goodies) its effects are near miraculous.
You've probably already guessed that we're big fans of Bees here at Chain Bridge Honey Farm, what with the incredible products they create, which in turn lead to the amazing, natural products we create using honey, beeswax and today's blog subject matter, Bee Propolis, from our very own hives.
Now, most people will be pretty familiar with the wonders of honey and beeswax, but Propolis is a true miracle substance that is perhaps not so well known. Also known as 'Bee Glue', Propolis is sticky gel produced by one busy little expert Propolis-making bee in the hive, using certain tree leaves, leaf buds and flowers and it just so happens to be one hell of a health and beauty product for us lucky humans!
A natural anti-septic, preservative and anti-oxidant containing over 300 active compounds, Bee Propolis has a vast array of health and beauty benefits, making it an absolute must-have for every home.
Many of us suffer from one skin condition or another, whether that's acne, scarring, dryness or even just simple aging, so you'll be pleased to hear that Propolis is a bit of a beauty cure-all!
Propolis is bursting at the seams with an abundance of minerals that are essential for rebuilding damaged skin cells, which is great for everyone, not just those with a specific problem. New healthy skin cells = replenished, soft, beautiful skin! Oh, and some serious wrinkle reduction too.
Speaking of wrinkle reduction, unlike many lotions and potions on the high-street, Propolis really does work! Quite a claim, yes, but a true one. The anti-oxidants contained in bee Propolis fight like little champions against oxidants that we're faced with every day, (from pollution, UV rays and junk food to harmful chemicals found in many un-natural beauty products) which helps to protect your skin cells for much longer. It won't stop the clock, but it will certainly slow things down!
The powerful moisturising properties of Propolis also goes a long way in promoting gorgeous, supple skin wherever it is applied, as well as providing much needed, soothing relief for any dry skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.
Suffer from acne? Bee Propolis might just be the thing that can help you. Ditch the chemical-heavy medication and treatments and try something natural instead. Just a small amount of our Propolis Ointment is plenty for you to reap the benefits of the bacteria-fighting nutrients Propolis has to offer.
Studies have shown that Bee Propolis kills most strains of bacteria that does not live or grow where oxygen is present, and this includes Propionibacterium Acnes (or P.Acne), which is one of the main causes of acne breakouts and stunted healing.
Among some of those 300 active compounds contained in Propolis, mentioned above, are Hydroquinone and Caffeic Acid. Sound familiar? To an acne sufferer who has received pharmaceutical treatment it might, as these are two of the best known compounds found in most commercial acne (and other skin infection) treatments, only this is the real deal. No nasties here!
Stretch marks, acne scars, operation scars – you name it, Propolis is a fantastic treatment for the reduction of any type of scarring.
If you've got an area of skin that needs healing or scars that need reducing, be it on your face or body, Propolis is what you need! The anti-oxidants found in Propolis not only work wonders on their own, but they actually boost the performance of anti-oxidants found within our own bodies and these two things combined result in some serious healing, scar fading and improved blood circulation.
Propolis isn't all about looking pretty, it also has some amazing 'unseen' healing benefits too, inside the body and out.
As you may now realise from reading about the beauty benefits of Propolis, it's basically awesome at the whole healing thing, and that applies to first aid situations too.
For wounds and minor second degree burns, just a small smearing of Propolis ointment will vastly reduce the free radicals (which occur as a result of the burn) and improve the 'spin-lattice relaxation process' within the wound, which is our body's way of healing.
A study performed by the Medical University of Silesia has shown that the use of Propolis on a burn is just as good, if not better, than the use of Silver Sulfadiazine cream, a chemical based pharmaceutical product prescribed for healing.
Add a small amount of Propolis to your toothbrush when going about your daily ablutions for improved dental hygiene and reduced tooth cavities!
You may be used to thinking of honey as a sugary substance, which you might imagine wouldn't agree so well with teeth, but despite being made by bees in hives, Propolis is quite a different thing altogether.
Propolis can be used as an effective mouth disinfectant to help treat gum disease. It's presence on teeth also limits the production of plaque meaning healthier nashers all round!

Biomedical manufacturing cushions Singapore's monthly factory production
by Joseph Keenan |
Singapore's skyline
Singapore's monthly factory output numbers--a bellwether for the region's economic health--got a big boost from the biomedical manufacturing sector.
Although factory output dipped 0.5% in March when compared to the same month a year ago, a 23.1% increase in biomedical production kept the overall number from hitting the 2% analysts had forecast, The Straits Times of Singapore reported.
Excluding output from the sometimes unpredictable biomedical sector, total output fell 5.5%, according to data from the country's Economic Development Board released this week.

The pharmaceutical industry provided the biggest push within the biomedical sector, surging 27.9% in March. However, analysts cautioned that pharma manufacturing is prone to month-to-month peaks and valleys depending on where they are in the drug production cycle.
"Most drugmakers produce active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and can churn out only one batch of APIs at a time," Irvin Seah, an economist, told the publication. "When they change their product mix, they have to shut down their plants for sterilization for about a month."
Still, API orders tend to be very large so when the plants are running, they do so at full capacity, Seah added.
Total factory output has declined for 12 of the past 13 months, seeing only a 1.1% year-on-year gain in January.

Why Sarepta Therapeutics' Shares Are Skyrocketing 25% Today
The departure of a critic of its Duchenne muscular dystrophy drug from the FDA is sparking optimism that an approval may be forthcoming.

Optimism that the departure of Ronald Farkas from the FDA will clear a path to an important drug approval has sent Sarepta Therapeutics' (NASDAQ:SRPT) shares soaring 25% as of 12:15 p.m. EDT.
In April, a key FDA advisory committee opted against recommending eteplirsen for early approval for the treatment of Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, or DMD, a life-shortening muscle-wasting disease.
Farkas served as the FDA's cross-disciplinary team leader in reviewing Sarepta Therapeutics' eteplirsen application data. In the FDA's advisory committee briefing document, Farkas wrote, "Although approvability of a drug reflects a benefit-risk assessment, the decision about approvability is necessarily stepwise, requiring first that the drug be found effective, prior to consideration of benefit-risk."
After listening to presentations from both the FDA and Sarepta Therapeutics, and weighing eteplirsen's pros and cons, the committee voted 7 to 6 that there was inadequate evidence that eteplirsen induces dystrophin production to levels likely to predict a clinical benefit, and 7 to 3 that results from a single historically controlled trial showed eteplirsen to be an effective DMD therapy.

Here's Why Sarepta Therapeutics Is Surging Today
Gene Therapy vs. Gene Editing: Which Is Better for Tackling Muscular Dystrophy?
The FDA doesn't have to follow the committee's advice, and after the committee's vote, the FDA decided to postpone a decision on eteplirsen indefinitely while it collects and debates more information.
Ostensibly, Farkas' belief that efficacy should be considered prior to benefit and risk considerations suggests that he might have been one of the least likely committee members to favor eteplirsen's approval. If so, his leaving could make it easier for Sarepta Therapeutics to argue that the benefit-to-risk implications that the drug's approval hinges on are favorable.
That may or may not be true, given that Farkas hasn't been the only person to express doubt about eteplirsen's efficacy.
Overall, an approval of eterplirsen would be important because Sarepta Therapeutics is spending a lot of money every quarter on research and development, as well as on selling, general, and administrative expenses, and it could use some revenue to offset its cash burn. Given the uncertainty of an FDA decision and Sarepta Therapeutics' current valuation, investors should approach this stock cautiously.

The process of creating a Die Cast Part for a Prototype is straightforward
It is critical for customers to have confidence in their design before going into production because die cast production tooling prices can range from six figures to seven figures depending on the complexity of the tooling

It is critical for customers to have confidence in their design before going into production because die cast production tooling prices can range from six figures to seven figures depending on the complexity of the tooling.
Production of prototype aluminum die casting mold cast parts can be accomplished in a variety of ways, the most common of which are: single cavity prototyping, plaster prototyping, machining from solid, and additive manufacturing (see Figure 1). Single cavity prototyping, plaster prototyping, machining from solid, and additive manufacturing are the most common methods of production.Continue reading to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each method discussed in detail in the sections below, so that you can make an informed decision when developing your next software program.
Plaster of Paris is used for modeling and prototyping.

Formalized plastic mold casting (also known as rubberized plastic mold casting) is a method of producing aluminum, magnesium, and zinc castings by pouring liquid metal into plaster (gypsum) molds.Rubber plastic mold casting is another term for this process.Occasionally, the term "rubber plastic mold casting" is used to refer to the process of plaster prototyping.Because special alloys, such as 390 aluminum and 413 aluminum, are required for your application, plaster prototyping is not an option.This is a popular choice among customers because it requires less initial tooling investment than a single cavity prototype die and can be completed in as little as two to three weeks.But there are some disadvantages to this method that should be considered before putting it into full operation.Plaster castings are made by gravity pouring, whereas die casting defects causes and solutions cast parts are made by applying high pressure to a mold during the manufacturing process.As a result, the grain structure of the casting is significantly increased, which has an impact on the mechanical properties of the casting.When it comes to mechanical properties, a plaster casting performs only 70% as well as a die-cast part, which represents a significant difference in terms of both cost and performance between the two.It is possible that testing your prototype will become more difficult as a result of this.Once you've completed 30% of your test, it can be difficult to determine whether the failure was caused by the prototyping method or whether your design requires revision.
During the design of the prototype, only a single cavity was used.It is necessary for someone to die casting defects causes and solutions.
Making castings with mechanical properties that are identical to those of production parts with a single cavity prototype die is a feasible method of developing prototypes.When testing a production part, single cavity prototypes are the most accurate representation that can be obtained without fabricating a full-scale production part in order to verify the part's functionality.A significant amount of time and money is saved by producing single cavity prototypes using the same production alloys, pressure, and rough cycle time as the final production part, allowing the customer to save both time and money.A single cavity prototype and a final production part are identical in all other respects except for the presence or absence of cavitation in the prototype when compared to the final production part.
When compared to production parts, prototype dies are typically designed with only a single cavity, whereas production parts may have multiple cavity configurations.We at General Die Casters frequently design and manufacture low-cost unit dies for the purpose of casting prototypes, which we then sell on to other businesses in the industry.In comparison to hard steel dies, they are made of soft steel, which allows for a faster assembly time and a lower overall cost of manufacturing in comparison to the latter.To date, we have successfully cast more than 5,000 parts from our prototype dies, which were relatively inexpensive to produce.
Parts that have been fabricated from solid materials
The term "hog out" refers to the type of manufacturing process in which the prototype part is CNC machined from a billet of aluminum or stainless steel, also known as a "hog out."Using this prototyping method, you can expect a turnaround time of 7-10 business days if you only require a small number of parts.Machined from solid has a significant disadvantage when compared to the other prototyping methods we've discussed so far in that it has the highest piece price of all the methods we've discussed so far, which is a significant disadvantage.When machining from solid, it is impossible to replicate the surface finish and mechanical properties of a die cast part, and it is more difficult to create curved surfaces and radiuses in some geometries when machining from solid than when machining from metal.Although it is unlikely, it is possible that this method will provide the lowest price point.It is possible that your project will necessitate the development of a small number of prototypes.

Indian general election in Uttarakhand - 2019 | Lok Sabha Polls.
Lok Sabha Polls, phase 1 voting: Polling on 5 seats in Uttarakhand. The principal players in Uttarakhand's political playground are BJP, Congress and Uttarakhand Kranti Dal.
The state of Uttarakhand came into being in the year 2000. Separated from Uttar Pradesh, it became the 22nd state of India. The state is all set for the biggest event of the year, the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The principal players in Uttarakhand's political playground are the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Indian National Congress. The state's only prominent regional party is called the Uttarakhand Kranti Dal (UKD) and it will be contesting in all five seats. The 'Hill state' would send 5 MPs to the Lok Sabha and the voting in all the five Lok Sabha seats that include Tehri Garhwal, Garhwal, Nainital-Udhamsingh Nagar, Almora and Haridwar will be conducted on April 11.
The politics of Uttarakhand, especially the Tehri Garhwal seat, has always revolved around the Congress and the BJP. Just like the previous elections, the BJP and Congress are locked into a straight fight in all the five seats in the state. BJP had won all the five seats in 2014 and secured 56 per cent of the votes. Congress had secured 34 per cent of the votes in 2014 polls. In 2017 state elections, BJP won 57 out of 70 seats and the Congress had bagged 11 seats.
Some of the big names to look out for in Uttarakhand during the Lok Sabha elections would be BJP's Mala Rajya Laxmi who will fight from Tehri Garhwal, Tirath Singh Rawat, Ajay Tamta, Ajay Bhatt and Dr. Ramesh Pokhriyal. Big Congress names in the state include Ambrish Kumar, Pritam Singh, the former chief minister and the general secretary of AICC Harish Rawat, Pradeem Tamta and Manish Khanduri.
In Uttarakhand, Congress is banking on its local leaders whereas BJP is pinning their hopes on the magic of Narendra Modi who has held several rallies in the state over the past fortnight. PM Modi recently addressed rallies at Rudrapur and Dehradun while BJP President Amit Shah addressed rallies in Uttarkashi and Dehradun. Congress President Rahul Gandhi, on the other hand, addressed four rallies in Dehradun, Almora, Srinagar and Haridwar over the past fortnight.
You can vote only if your name appears in the Voter List (also known as Electoral Roll). Voters can also find information on Polling Booths, Contesting candidates, Election Dates & Timings, Identity cards and EVM.

Police: Athens man died, Falkville man arrested during disturbance at US Capitol
By Cassie Kuhn Staff Writer
An Athens mans was among the three people who died from "medical emergencies" during the disturbance at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, a District of Columbia police official said today, and Capitol Police said a Falkville man was arrested.
The Athens man was identified as Kevin Greeson, 55, by Robert J. Contee III, acting chief of the the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department.
A fourth person died after being fatally shot by police.
The other two people who died from "medical emergencies" were identified as Rosanne Boyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Georgia; and Benjamin Phillips, 50, of Ringtown, Pennsylvania.
Contee would not go into detail about the exact causes of their deaths and would not say if any of the three was actively involved in breaching the Capitol building on Wednesday.
Contee would only say that all three "were on the grounds of the Capitol when they experienced their medical emergencies," according to The Associated Press.
Capitol Police arrested 14 people Wednesday. Among them was Lonnie Coffman of Falkville, according to a police statement. He was charged with carrying a pistol without a license, possession of an unregistered firearm and possession of unregistered ammunition.

I pray that when you stand before your God, he/she has more compassion for you than you just demonstrated with this callous and ignorant comment! God Bless You!!


Nettles has always drawn as much from rock as from country -- after all, her first chart-topper was a Bon Jovi duet -- but this record, her major label solo debut, is particularly down the middle, produced by Rick Rubin and closing with her take on Bob Seger's "Like a Rock." While it certainly has some good tracks -- "Moneyball" has the singer contemplating her insignificance in the face of "Mother Nature and the market," and "Me Without You" is everything a break-up tune should be -- it serves best at really just building anticipation for the next Sugarland LP. Who says you can't go home?


Are you feeling weak, nervous or irritable? Are you experiencing frequent stomach pain and irritation or nausea? Are you unable to find the source of your symptoms?
These symptoms may be the result of excess heavy metals in the body. ChemSee's detection kits for Heavy Metals are simple and quick tests to identify if your body has high levels of heavy metals. In addition, a person can test his or her foods, water, drinks and other sources of potential heavy metal contamination to see if it is attributing to these levels.
Our GHM-01 Detector for Common Heavy Metals rapidly and easily detect and identify heavy metals in a wide-range of samples. This detector is capable of identifying Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Zinc, Cobalt, Iron, Copper or Nickel.
The AJ-05 Arsenic Detector was designed to detect Arsenic as low as 1 part per million (1 mg/L) in nearly any sample including Food, Liquids, Bodily Fluids (Urine/Saliva) or Stomach Contents in less than 90 seconds. This simple-to-use detector is capable of quickly telling a person if a sample has Arsenic in it which may harm another person.
Detectors for use at home to detect trace amounts of Arsenic in various samples including Water, Juices, Wine, Foods, Urine, Saliva and others. The AJLOW-01 Arsenic Detectors are capable of detecting as low as 1 part per billion of arsenic in water (0.001 mg/L).
Chemsee now offers combination kits for detection of all Heavy Metals including Arsenic, denoted the THM(Total Heavy Metal) series. This kit comes in two variants THM-LOW-01 and THM-01. Both kits come with a GHM-01 General Heavy Metal Detector, but differ with which Arsenic Detector comes with it.
More Information regarding Heavy Metal Toxicity, Common Symptoms, Ways to Avoid Heavy Metals and Exposure Routes are included in the sections below.
Heavy metals, (HM), are metals which have a significantly higher density than water. Traces of many HM are essential for proper functioning of the body. Unfortunately, the incorporation of excess HM in the body results in toxic effects. Therefore, exposure of the body to excess HM and their incorporation should be avoided. Most of the foods and fluids that we drink contain small traces of HM but in general, these traces are not harmful. However, once the HM concentration exceeds certain levels, steps should be taken to stop the exposure and, in some cases, decontaminate or cleanse the body.
There are over 30 HM but approximately ten of them are important in terms of exposure and health effects. Table 1 below lists the ten most important HM and their main paths of exposure.
Table 1 describes the main health effects of the various heavy metals. Note that many products that are used daily by millions of people are made or have component heavy metals.
Iron Fe All Systems (Excessive Doses Only) Hemochromatosis (Fatigue, Weakness, Weight Loss) Hemochromatosis (Arthritis, Dyspnea) Traces required for protein function in most living organisms.
Nickel Ni Skin Minor Irritation in Sensitive Individuals Cancer (At High Chronic Exposure Doses) Required for function of several proteins, including Urease.
Zinc Zn Gastrointestinal Tract (Excessive Doses Only) Nausea, Vomiting, Skin Irritation Anemia and Decreased Good Cholesterol, Infertility Functions in a wide variety of biological roles, including proteins.
It is difficult to diagnose if any specific symptoms observed are the result of excessive exposure to heavy metals, (HM). The physiological symptoms of exposure, even to high doses of HM, are often similar to symptoms observed as a result of numerous illnesses and diseases. Therefore, even when the symptoms are consistent with HM toxicity, all illnesses that result in similar symptoms should be considered together with the possibility of HM poisoning. It should also be noted that HM can exacerbate existing illnesses. Moreover, certain groups of people such as pregnant woman, in particular in the very early stages of pregnancy, people with kidney or liver illnesses, very young babies or older people may suffer greater harm than oter groups.
To reduce the cost of determining if the observed ill-effects are the result of exposure to excess doses of HM, we recommend performing first LOW-COST screening tests according to the following step-by step sequence.
Model THM-01 which includes one of each GHM-01 and GAS-01.
Note 1: If HM are detected in the urine or tap water sample, it is a clear sign of HM poisoning. Before getting too alarmed, REPEAT THE TESTS to confirm the results.
STOP potential exposure to the HM, e.g. by using an alternative source of drinking or cooking water.
Find the SOURCE of the HM and eliminate it. To this end, you may need to look for old paint in your house, which may contain lead, cadmium or chromium, old water pipes, spilled mercury, as well as examine foods which you consume regularly. Many times one needs to seek the advice of an industrial hygienist. Exposure may be occurring at work, home, or possibly from contaminated air, etc.
III. If HM, and especially arsenic and thallium, are found in the urine and NOT in the drinking water, do not rule out the possibility of intentional poisoning.
Note 3: If HM or arsenic are NOT found in the water or in the urine, there may still be excess exposure to HM or arsenic and it may still be a case of HM or arsenic poisoning.
Note 4: Since exposure to HM can also be via skin contact or breathing dusts which contain HM, such routs are not common but may not be ruled out in advance.
If no HM or arsenic are found in the urine or the drinking water, you may want to have your blood tested for HM. Since this set of tests is very expensive, you may want to first ensure that the symptoms you are observing are NOT due to other illnesses.
