As you tackle home improvements, be mindful to observe your surroundings, making sure to do just those projects that are sensible. Improvements that don't make sense include anything that isn't conducive to the climate in which you live. Stick with the things that are wanted and keep your projects acceptable to the climate in which your home is in.
If you wish to redo a tile floor, consider getting radiant heat tiles. This type of tile heats up with electricity. Luckily, it's easy to install them yourself if you are able to follow instructions. This is a simple project that is easy to add to the overall project regardless of whether you are doing it yourself or hiring someone else. Either way, you will be thankful that you chose radiant heat tiles on the first cold day of the season.
You should think about solar panels as far as projects for your home. The installation cost is not cheap, but it can save you money in the long run. This reduces your utility bills thanks to stored energy. Improvements in solar tech have made this a viable alternative energy source.
Use PVC cement and PVC primer to attach two PVC pipes. You must use these specific items, since others won't work. Make sure the pipes are dry before you begin.
Safety must be your number one priority when you undertake home improvement projects. There is some danger in any home improvement project you do, so read all the power tools instructions carefully and ask store associates for help if necessary. Search for an online tutorial to learn how to use these tools.
To keep heated or cooled air from leaking around your windows and doors, install sealant strips and draft excluders. Excluders go under the door and prevent hot air from going out and cool from coming in. Sealant strips can do the same thing and easily fit around your door frames. You can find them at your local hardware store.
If you have chosen to do your own home improvement project, make it a point to purchase the highest-quality tools and materials. It might be more expensive in the beginning, but it will save you money for years. In general, quality products tend to have a longer life and can better go through wear and tear. Even though some quality tools can be a bit expensive, they save you a lot of money in the long run.
You can accentuate the beauty of your lawn and paths with exterior accent lighting in a downward facing orientation. This method of lighting simulates natural light, as if the moon or fading daylight is in the sky. Additionally, you can use lighting to showcase your favorite garden statues.
If your window blinds look torn or battered, replacing these can add to the appearance of your home. The blinds often fade out due to exposure to the sun and also become damaged by children, pets, and other accidents. It is easy to install new blinds and they will make your windows shine.
Home improvement is not as hard as most people believe. Every project requires research and a unique set of tools, but you can handle almost anything with preparation. The tips laid out in this article will put you on the right path to completing your project successfully.

Mumbai, Apr 22: BJP general secretary Pramod Mahajan was on Saturday shot at by his brother and has been hospitalised, media reports said.
The senior BJP leader was reportedly pumped with three bullets - one in the chest and two in his stomach - at their home in Worli.
He has been taken to Hinduja Hospital where he is being operated upon, reports said.
The shooting reportedly occurred over some domestic quarrel, reports said.
Who is Praveen Mahajan?
Syed Firdaus Ashraf in Mumbai -Rediff.com
Praveen Mahajan, the man who shot Pramod Mahajan, always preferred to be in the background and was never a public face. In his late 40s, Praveen was always a reclusive family member and would not participate in the family get-togethers of the Mahajans. Pramod's father Venkatesh Mahajan had five children including three sons.
The eldest is Pramod. Prakash the second brother is settled in Aurangabad and Praveen is the youngest. Pramod Mahajan also has two sisters. Pradnya who is married to former deputy chief minister of Maharashtra Gopinath Munde and another married sister Pratibha. Mahajan hails from Osmanabad district of Maharashtra. His oratory skill was so good that it impressed the BJP stalwarts in early 80s and he was given plum postings.
One of his biggest achievements was to forge a strong alliance with Shiv Sena in mid 1980s and that still continues. Though Mahajan grew leaps and bounds in politics to become a Union cabinet minister his siblings always kept a low profile. Praveen used to run a small construction business in the extended suburb of Mumbai in Thane and was constantly supported by Pramod Mahajan in his ventures.
In fact, Pramod was his father figure and always used to be in touch with him though he was a reclusive member of the family. On Saturday morning, when he met Pramod Mahajan at his plush Worli residence, he apparently got into tiff with him. In anger he fired three shots, one in the chest and two in stomach injuring Pramod Mahajan seriously. He did not even try to evade arrest and surrendered to the Worli police.

They have main points that the writer supports. Once in a while you have to give back too. My science teacher, Miss Darine, is this person. While waiting, I heard a freaking and abnormal sound from that house. They are grouped by topic for easy student and teacher reference. Write about a time when you did something that affected your reputation for better or worse. Write about a time when you quit pursuing something or let go of a dream.
To begin with, sports embody enormous health benefits since they work on building muscles, maintaining body fitness, and enhancing agility and flexibility which makes an athlete able to compete and excel at the games. Anyhow Lula and people like him teach us to hang on to our dreams and who knows what the future would bring to us? Grade 9 Narrative Essay Topics: A List Of Fresh Ideas Writing a narrative paper should perhaps be one of the easiest tasks that you will ever need to do in as far as your life in school is concerned. Writing an essay can be a daunting task for both teachers and students in terms of creating and crafting a high quality essay, and finally editing and grading them. I found a big blanket that we jumped with. A second and third on-line session is scheduled for September 23rd, and October 7th.
Another example is junior leagues that try to perform just like their favorite team in their own leagues. While climbing it, I felt a hand stingingly holding onto my leg. People all around the world are likely to face disputes. Many politicians and especially those in power are ruled by the interests of big businesses and other global players. Write about a time when you made the world a better place for someone by being kind. I was so confused concerning what I wanted to be, a vampire, a princess, or a zombie.
Did you do the right thing, or do you regret resorting to violence? Although Oscar Pistorious has a physical disability, he has an outstanding outer appearance. And most important is the organisation of the entire writing into paragraphs. Since man is a social being and has to live in a spirit of harmony and co-operation with others, some amount of give-and-take is necessary, as a capacity for compromise. Write about a time when you grew to appreciate something that you once resisted. We heard Suzan screaming and knocking on the door. Natural causes are the ones caused by nature like water vapor and the release of methane gas from wetlands.
On Holiday Discuss a pleasurable trip you took in which you gained new experiences, met interesting folks, or had your eyes opened to new ideas. One thing I would love to. Write a well-structured personal narrative essay in which you discuss something supernatural or eerie that you once witnessed and scared you out of your wits. How did you deal with your embarrassment? Did you face some problem at school or work? Now, at that moment I thought it was one of those gummy worms but it was moving and purple goo and sludge was splattering out of his mouth. You have your own journey with your own impressions. This astounding decision was sending me to London to complete my knowledge there.
I want to know what happened that night, I want to fathom it, but no one could explain what had actually happened back then. All children, from pre-kindergarten through grade 12, should participate in quality physical education classes every school day. Others include chandeliers, lanterns and samovars all of which are made of fine details. If there were no fear, there would be no opportunity for bravery. Perhaps then human beings are less likely to face natural phenomena that would shake their existence and lead to their impending doom. If you see questionable material on this site or any linked sites, please contact the school district. It was quite an experience to have evaded death that day.
I felt like we were destined to stay inside and remember thinking that my life was about to end and praying to God for rescue and salvation. Write about a time when you witnessed or were the victim of an injustice. School years School is a path to the adulthood where children gain essential knowledge and experience. As such, people should be aware of the importance of self-confidence, determination, perseverance, and strong will in achieving success in life, tackling and overcoming obstacles and hindrances, and strengthening them so as to no longer be vulnerable to criticism and discrimination. Write about a decision that you made which you later regretted.
He always rejected any different treatment between him and his colleagues and requested an equal treatment as well as equal expectations. Moreover, self-confidence urges one to persevere and persist. Write about a time when you fought for what you wanted and got your way. Write about a time when you forgave someone for hurting or disappointing you. She is courteous to her colleagues and the principal of the school. See this essay about why you should.
The Big Fight Describe a time you got into a fight. Nowadays, people have myriad gadget at their service making their life much easier. Focus on the topic and take your reader through your best memories. Moreover, petroleum is the driving force behind vehicles; however, this helpful substance is a major contributor to global air pollution. She is very popular, but she is not conceited.
There is a continuous governmental budget cut. Since mysteries and superstitions are still not scientifically proven, they will stay mysterious, puzzling and irrational. They advised her to do daily exercises to have the ability to walk. Let the next topic ideas jog your memories of childhood situations that can make a good foundation for your narrative essay writing. This is the main reason why they are considered expensive products. After all they are still mysteries, meant to baffle us, puzzle us and trigger our sense of curiosity. Natural disasters like tornadoes, tsunami, hurricanes and many other deadly disasters destroy our Mother Nature.

serif of nottingblog: Review in the Winnipeg Free Press!
Ariel Gordon wrote this nice porcupinious review of The Porcupinity of the Stars for the Winnipeg Free Press. She connects my poem in tribute to bp, "Inside H", to bp's citing of his childhood passing of H block in Winnipeg's Wildwood Park neighbourhood with his love of the letter and his feeling that the alphabet is a tangible in-the-world object. The above image is an H sign from the neighbourhood. I wonder if it still looks like the one bp would have walked by on his way home.

Q: Get comment content by comment ID So I've been trying for a hour or so now to list comment by it's ID.
I've tried the get_comment($id, $output) function but it didn't work well, so I went back to whatever is shown below, but it just shows all comments. I want it to show just one comment by it's ID. I can't figure out a way to do it.
What am I doing wrong?
$args = array(
    'id' => 1,
);

// The Query
$comments_query = new WP_Comment_Query;
$comments = $comments_query->query( $args );

// Comment Loop
if ( $comments ) {
    foreach ( $comments as $comment ) {
        echo '
'.$comment->comment_content.'
';
    }
}

A: The Codex makes it seem like you can query for a specific comment by ID, as does the GenerateWP query generator, but I couldn't get it to work with either of those examples. Even looking through the WP_Comment_Query:query() code makes it clear that you should be able to pass the ID in the parameters.
That said, using get_comment() is your only way to go for now. Here's what can work based on your original code:
<?php
/**
 * Get the contents of a single comment by its ID.
 *
 * @param  int $comment_id The ID of the comment to retrieve.
 *
 * @return string The comment as a string, if present; null if no comment exists.
 */
function wpse120039_get_comment_by_id( $comment_id ) {
    $comment = get_comment( intval( $comment_id ) );

    if ( ! empty( $comment ) ) {
        return $comment->comment_content;
    } else {
        return '';
    }
}

echo '
' . wpse120039_get_comment_by_id( '34' ) . '
';

A: I don't see an argument to WP_Comment_Query that would let you search comments by comment ID, just by the associated post ID. However, get_comment will do it. An example from the Codex:
$my_id = 7;
$comment_id_7 = get_comment( $my_id );
$name = $comment_id_7->comment_author;

   data
0  {"a": null, "b": 12, "c": null}

Home News Shoaib Malik to take call on retirement closer to T20 World Cup
Shoaib Malik to take call on retirement closer to T20 World Cup
Pakistan's senior all-rounder Shoaib Malik on Friday said he will take a decision on international retirement closer to the T20 World Cup, scheduled to be held in October.
"The World Cup is still far off and I think right now my focus is on the Pakistan Super League and coming matches for Pakistan. When I get closer to the World Cup I will see what to do," he said.

Malik, 38, has already retired from Tests after 35 matches and One-day Internationals (287) but is still playing T20 format in which he has appeared in 113 games for Pakistan besides appearing in different leagues around the world.
Malik, a former Pakistan captain, had said after retiring from ODIs after the last World Cup that he would also call it quits in T20 Internationals.
"I will have to see my fitness and position in the national side closer to the World Cup than I will take a decision on final retirement," he told reporters.
The all-rounder also said he didn't take criticism to heart as it is like having breakfast in the morning in Pakistan cricket.

"One becomes used to it. I don't take it to heart. As I am not an insecure person and I have achieved a lot in life. For me even now to play for Pakistan is the biggest honour and perform as well as a senior professional.
"As far as my being dropped after the World Cup is concerned as a professional cricketer I have seen lot of ups and downs in life and I took it in my stride."
Malik said that he just wanted to avail every opportunity available to him now to do well for his country.
Malik also advised the Pakistan Cricket Board selectors to not pick players on basis of two or three performances in Pakistan Super League or league cricket.
"PSL is important for us as it is seen internationally and followed widely by the people and covered extensively by the media. But I would still emphasise don't select anyone or one or two matches. Criteria should be strong to pick a player for Pakistan."
"I would say if a player gives some good performances make him play at least two or three seasons and let him perform consistency in them before considering him for selection."

'Call Me Kat' Casts Jack McBrayer as New Baker After Leslie Jordan's Passing
Call Me Kat lost a sizeable figure when Leslie Jordan passed away last year. The veteran comic, who won over even more audiences during the pandemic thanks to his candid and hilarious Instagram stories, died tragically in October 2022 due to a cardiac dysfunction while driving.
The January 5-airing winter premiere explained the absence of Jordan's Phil with the baker taking a vacation to Tahiti with his new boyfriend. That turned into a marriage proposal and a long-term stay — with Phil opening up a bakery of his own on the island. Rather than have the cast suffer through a staged funeral while they were still in the midst of actively mourning their friend, it was decided to let Phil live on and have the happy ending he deserved.
Of course, this has left a spot open at the cafe, and auditions for the new baker are happening as the series welcomes guest stars to take up the role until they find a fit that satisfies audiences who will no doubt be missing Jordan's presence on the show. And now it seems like a familiar face may fill the role: Jack McBrayer.
Initially, Jordan's former The Cool Kids castmate Vicki Lawrence stepped up to bake with a guest-starring role as Phil's mom. Jordan considered Lawrence a mentor, so Lawrence was cast specifically to honor the late actor.
But now, the permanent position is up for grabs. Fox has announced that the aforementioned 30 Rock alum will take up shop as the new baker at Call Me Kat's cafe for a guest-starring role as Amish baker Gideon. No word yet on if the character will be the permanent replacement, but if the role resonates with the audience, it is likely he will be back for Season 4.
The new clip shows McBrayer being introduced to the gang, overalls and naivety aplenty, as he sets out "on a journey of self-discovery."

*FUNDED* VPL Liked This Initiative: "Girls in Pink Lab Coats"
Ms. J is a Title 1 school teacher in Katy TX teaching 5th graders.
She asks, "I would like to welcome 5th grade girls to join an after school science club, "Girls in Pink Lab Coats," where they can build, question and explore STEM topics in a girl-friendly environment." In order for her to start her lab, we have given a seed fund to kick start her campaign.
We heard the amazing news from Ms. J that the project is now fully funded, and products from NASCO and everything she needs for STEM arrived. I hope her students can wear lab coats that are not all in pink, but yes we love her project!
Thank you so very much for your generosity. With your support, these girls can look forward to more hands-on, engaging experiences and labs. I look forward to the day when I hear a young lady says, "I'm going to be a scientist."
The timing is perfect - new possibilities, new experiences for a new year.
We received a further update with photos. We are excited for you, Ms. J!
They used the solar water heater as a starting point for building a solar space heater, (it worked!) and are looking forward to warmer Spring days to build and test solar ovens.
Last week's activity started our electrical challenges. They were all able to choose their materials and create a complex circuit, complete with at least two loads, a switch, and three types of conductors. The next activity will utilize the telegraphs. I'm quite sure the girls are up for the challenge.
When we started this girls-only club, I had no idea how valuable it would be. Normally quiet, reserved girls are on topic, talking with each other, cooperating and solving the problem at hand. They insist that everyone helps everyone so that each girl is successful every time -- and they do not give up.

It's not game over for Windows Phone--at least not yet
May 9, 2012 11:33am
NEW ORLEANS--For the past few weeks it may have seemed like Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows Phone platform was on the run. Nokia (NYSE:NOK), Microsoft's key partner, posted disappointing first-quarter results and sold only two million Lumia Windows Phone smartphones in the quarter. Then LG Electronics said it would focus more on smartphones running Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android, and put Windows Phone on the back burner. And finally, Samsung, now the world's largest handset and smartphone maker, unveiled its latest flagship Android phone, the Galaxy S III.
However, from what I've read and heard here at the CTIA Wireless 2012 conference, rumors of Windows Phone's demise are greatly exaggerated. Microsoft has a window of opportunity--one that will perhaps open in the late summer or early fall and close by early next year--to work with carriers and handset makers to make Windows Phone stick. After that point, the platform may truly wither on the vine.
What makes me optimistic, or at least open-minded? Carriers and OEMs seem content to wait until Windows Phone 8, dubbed "Apollo," comes out, likely sometime in the third quarter, before jumping on the Windows Phone bandwagon. When that happens, it appears they may be ready to place their bets on the platform as the third ecosystem to compete with Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS and Android.
Representatives from HTC and Samsung told me they're still fully committed to the platform, even though Android represents a large share of their portfolios. "It is a very compelling operating system," Kevin Packingham, senior vice president of product innovation for Samsung Mobile, told me. "It has a lot of potential both here in the U.S. market and globally. We think there is a lot of opportunity."
Nokia's Chris Weber, president of the Americas, obviously has a stake in seeing Windows Phone do well. He told me he was not perturbed by Samsung undercutting Nokia's $100 Lumia 900 with its $50 Focus 2 Windows Phone at AT&T Mobility (NYSE:T). The attitude seems to be the more the merrier, and I tend to agree with that. The more Windows Phones that actually find their way into consumers' hands, the better for the platform, regardless of the thin margins right now.
It's not just the OEMs that are excited though. Carriers seem ready to hop on board. Verizon Wireless (NYSE:VZ) has already said it wants to do for Windows Phone what it did for Android--but that it will wait for Windows Phone 8 before doing so. Matt Stoiber, senior vice president of Cricket provider Leap Wireless' (NASDAQ:LEAP) devices business, told FierceWireless Leap is in final discussions with Microsoft and unnamed device vendors to sell prepaid Windows Phone 8 devices sometime later this year or early next year. Additionally, David Owens, Sprint Nextel's (NYSE:S) director of consumer acquisition, told PC Magazine that he's "still bullish on Apollo."
Apollo is rumored to support multi-core processors, four different screen sizes and Near Field Communications technology, which would all be welcome enhancements to the platform. It seems like carriers and OEMs are willing to give Microsoft one last shot to make the platform fly with Apollo. For the moon shot to succeed though, carriers are going to have to roll out major marketing campaigns and OEMs are going to have to deliver products that are both high quality and relatively low cost to compete with new Android devices and likely a new iPhone. If that push is sustained and strong, it could work. If not, the platform will face an even more serious situation than it does now.
Microsoft had less than 4 percent of the U.S. smartphone market as of March 2012, according to comScore. To turn that around, it's going to have to deliver with Apollo. It might seem impossible, but then again, we did land a man on the moon. --Phil


Abstract Literature on the biological effects of mercurials was reviewed with the purpose of understanding impact on individual organisms in terms of biochemical or cellular damage. Mercurialism is manifested primarily in kidney or brain damage in animals and in growth reduction in plants. Exposure to inorganic mercury compounds usually results in kidney damage while alkyl mercurialism is characterized by brain damage; however, some degree of both kidney and neurological injury results from exposure to either category of mercurials. Kidney injury is due apparently to damage of Kreb's cycle enzymes, thus reducing available energy to actively resorbtions. Impaired protein synthesis as well as reduction in activity of Kreb's cycle enzymes may be important in brain damage resulting from mercury poisoning.

Most cellular functions are performed by proteins associated together into complexes. In fact, many proteins cannot even exist in the cell without their binding partners. These protein complexes often require the help of other proteins, called chaperones, to bring the complexes together. This is certainly the case for protein complexes involved in cell signaling processes. Our work has focused on one of these signaling complexes, the G protein heterotrimer. It is through the G protein complex and its associated receptors and effectors that cells detect hormones, neurotransmitters, chemokines and sensory signals such as odorants, taste molecules and even photons of light. G proteins regulate almost every aspect of cellular physiology and as a result more than a third of current therapeutic drugs target G protein signaling pathways.
In recent years, our lab has described the initial steps in the assembly of the G protein complex. This process begins with the association of the G protein β subunit (Gβ) with the G protein γ subunit (Gγ) into the Gβγ dimer. Gβγ is an obligate dimer, meaning that neither subunit is stable in the cell without the other. As a result, Gβ and Gγ must be brought together by chaperones. The way in which chaperone-mediated Gβγ assembly occurs is as follows. At some point during or after translation, the nascent Gβ subunit binds to the cytosolic chaperonin complex (CCT). CCT is a large protein-folding machine made up of a double-ring structure with eight different chaperonin subunits in each ring. Like other proteins folded by CCT, Gβ associates in the folding cavity in the center of the ring and is folded into a near-native conformation. However, Gβ cannot achieve its native fold and release from CCT without Gγ nor can Gβ associate with Gγ until it is released from CCT. This conundrum is resolved by the CCT co-chaperone, phosducin-like protein 1 (PhLP1). PhLP1 binds Gβ in the CCT folding cavity and initiates the release of Gβ from CCT. Once released, Gγ is able to bind Gβ in the PhLP1-Gβ complex and form the stable Gβγ dimer. The G protein α subunit then associates with Gβγ, forming the active Gαβγ heterotrimer and simultaneously releasing PhLP1. All four of the typical Gβ subunits are assembled with their 12 associated Gγ subunits by this same mechanism involving CCT and PhLP1.
The atypical Gβ5 subunit forms an obligate dimer with regulators of G protein signaling (RGS) proteins of the RGS7 subfamily. These dimers have a different function than Gβγ dimers. They turn off G protein signaling in neurons by accelerating the rate of GTP hydrolysis on the Gα subunit. We have found that CCT and PhLP1 also assist in the assembly of these Gβ5-RGS complexes. In fact, the conditional deletion of the PhLP1 gene in the rod photoreceptor cells of mice results in the loss of the Gβ5-RGS9 dimer from these cells in addition to the loss of Gβγ dimers. Consequently, G protein-dependent responses to light by rod photoreceptors were diminished and their recovery was slow. These findings have confirmed the importance of PhLP1 in Gβγ and Gβ5-RGS dimer formation in vivo.
Some of our more recent work has focused on the structural mechanism by which CCT and PhLP1 mediate Gβγ assembly. We have isolated two intermediates in the process of Gβγ assembly, the Gβ-CCT and the PhLP1-Gβ-CCT complexes and have determined their structures by cryo-EM in collaboration with the lab of Jose M. Valpuesta at the Centro National de Biotecnologia in Madrid, Spain. The cryo-EM structures show that Gβ folds into a near-native conformation within the CCT folding cavity and associates with the apical domain of the CCTγ subunit. PhLP1 binds Gβ from above the folding cavity, disrupting its interact with CCTγ and allowing PhLP1-Gβ to release from CCT for association with Gγ.

Already Heard Track Guide: COPE – Tooth & Nail EP
Let's be honest, with political and social strife on both sides of the Atlantic, we're living through tough times. It has been said that difficult periods can spur on creativity, one that gives a voice to represent the masses. One of those bands to be inspired by our current socio-political climate is London hardcore punks COPE (Challenge Oppression Pursue Equality).
Formed just two years ago, the quintet will be releasing their second EP, 'Tooth & Nail', this Friday. Beyond its heavy riffs and meaty rhythm section is a set of songs that have an angst-fuelled message. Over the course of its six songs, COPE cover the "alt-right", the lack of true political change, young representation, and the Syrian conflict. Nevertheless, as guitarist Joshua Bowles explains in this "Track Guide", all hope is not lost.
This one's fairly straight-forward with regards to lyrical content. It's inspired by, and about the conflict currently going on in Syria. I've been following it since it started back in 2011, and I've been disgusted by both sides' actions. I'm an avid reader, and I've actually read a diary written by a guy who lived under IS in Raqqa and managed to escape, and I was truly moved, shocked and ashamed by what I read. So when we say the line "our shame grows for those we forgot", I'm really just trying to apologise almost to those who either didn't make it out, or are still there.
'Tooth & Nail' is basically our anthem. It's our battle cry, and almost our promise to everyone that this is real, we truly believe in our message and we're not going anywhere. I'd had a bad day like we all do from time to time, and usually, when that happens the only thing to pull me out of that funk is to write about it. So this is me basically saying "fuck you, we're here to stay". I do hope that it helps others who're having a bad day too!
Neo Nasty
This is pretty self-explanatory, but in essence, this is a big fuck you to the "alt-right", or, as I like to call them, NAZIS. Anyone who knows anything about our band will know that we're very liberal, and we don't stand for any hate or prejudice, no matter your political beliefs. The inspiration behind it was the election of Trump, and the fact that he didn't initially denounce support from white nationalists. There's the line in the pre-chorus, "through silence, you become complicit" and I really live by that. If you don't speak up when you see something you feel is wrong on a moral level, then you're perpetuating said problem by allowing it to go on unchallenged.
'Many Faces' is about the political landscape in England, and how nothing seems to change even when we elect a new leader. I think most people in this country have felt the political frustration as of late, and I think there are a lot of unanswered questions.
Again, the idea that you're complicit in something if you remain silent on the issue comes up here. We say they're all to blame because no one's tried to address the issues we're facing. They're guilty by association, right or wrong that may be.
Again, this is one about English politics, and the socio-economic issues young people are currently facing. This was inspired by the election of that power-grabbing, privatisation-loving, saggy-faced Maggie 2.0. At the time, she was espousing a 'populist' message, and I just got really irked when she tried to speak on our behalf. The chorus explains that most of these people are set in their ways, and don't want to change. Therefore we need to be the change that we want to happen and ensure we change the country for the better.
This has probably my favourite chorus of the whole EP! This is a track that's looking ahead, a kind of "what if?" Whereas the chorus is almost retrospective to the rest of the song.
What we're saying here is that we're in a sort of 'limbo' situation, where no ones really certain of what's going to happen. We want people to know that they're not alone and that there are like-minded people out there. We also wanted to try and end the EP on a semi-positive note, and leave people feeling that although things are looking bleak, not all hope is lost, and there is some good in the world.
'Tooth & Nail' EP by COPE is released on 13th October.

Demonstrating that a niche focus is likely the next step for success in the space, Purple Carrot is an online company 100% focused on providing plant-based meal kits and vegan cooking know-how. In our interview with Purple Carrot founder Andy Levitt, we learn that as larger meal kit platforms struggle to find their place in serving disrupted consumer eating habits, opening the door on vegan lifestyle and plant-based eating and cooking has its benefits. While Hartman Group research finds that only 10% of consumers have tried out vegetarianism in the last 12 months, a full 54% of consumers say they would like to include more plant-based foods and beverages in their diets.
[THG] We see a growing number of consumers interested in plant-based and vegan eating and cooking – what role do you think technology plays in bringing vegan cuisine to larger audiences?
[Andy] The technological innovation behind amazing products like Beyond Meat and the Impossible Burger is doing wonders to raise awareness for the plant-based category. There are dozens of other new products coming out every quarter all building on the growing trends around plant-based eating. There are more choices today than ever before for a veg-curious individual, democratizing the access to delicious plant-based foods. Layer on top of that a growing segment of Pinterest-worthy images of incredible meals that are surprisingly plant-based, and the word is starting to spread!
[THG] Related, we find that meal kit companies have played a significant role in empowering consumers to learn to cook and explore new diets — in fact, our conversations with consumers will typically reveal that meal kit companies play a significant role in teaching cooking. Do you find that to be true?
[Andy] Absolutely. The beauty of the meal kit concept is how it provides the guardrails that a lot of people feel they need to put dinner on the table. Meal kits have opened up a world of cooking possibilities to people who previously were quite limited in what they felt confident to cook. Take that one step further with Purple Carrot — many people might know how to roast chicken or make a pasta dish, but very few people could even imagine most of the meals that our chefs create for them. In addition, there is also a hesitation to buy esoteric ingredients or non-animal proteins, because most people just don't know how to make plant-based food taste amazing. Fortunately, our chefs do, and as a result, our subscribers love how we've dramatically improved their confidence in the kitchen and empowered them to eat more plant-based foods every week.
[THG] What are your thoughts about the potential tension between consumer desires for cleaner and "all natural" diets and the types of innovative vegan and meat/cheese/egg alternative proteins hitting the market these days, many of which seem highly processed?
[Andy] The alternative protein options have proven to be helpful for the omnivore and carnivore who just can't imagine not having that "meat-like" flavor with their meals or for those who are interested in transitioning away from a diet heavily characterized by meat and dairy consumption. And a lot of these products are incredibly flavorful and do an incredible job at mimicking the texture and taste of traditional animal proteins. However, a lot of Purple Carrot customers — 82% of whom are not vegan, by the way — much prefer when we focus our meals on whole food, unprocessed, plant-based ingredients. I don't think that there is an absolute here; the alternative proteins help raise awareness of unique ways people can still get close to the animal protein flavors they know and crave, while others will move along a spectrum that has them focusing on ingredients that are not processed whatsoever.
[THG] Are there elements of vegan diet that seem most important to Purple Carrot customers? For example, do you find customers focusing on the convenience aspects of total meal solutions vs. food distinctions like organic, local, soil health or regenerative agriculture?
[Andy] Since the overwhelming majority of Purple Carrot subscribers are not vegan, what seems to be most important to them is how easy we make it for them to eat more plants each week. It's the kind of thing that they can't find elsewhere. While a couple of the other meal kit companies now have introduced vegan lines to complement their more traditional recipes, we've heard time and again that no service can match the flavors and innovative nature of our meals. Since we are the only 100% plant-based service on the market, our culinary team is exclusively focused on creating the best possible plant-based meals for our customers.
[THG] Meal kit companies have faced a rocky road lately in terms of food industry trade media (eater.com recently published an article asking if we are hearing the "Death Rattle of Mail-Order Meal Kits"). What do you think about that diagnosis? How is Purple Carrot different?
[Andy] The negative media coverage has been driven by the continuously poor performance of Blue Apron in the public markets. Unfortunately, their stock has been getting crushed ever since they went public in June 2017 and has arguably been one of the worst-performing IPOs in recent history.
Blue Apron did so much good for the category, but they have now cast a long shadow over the whole industry. The barriers to entry are relatively low, and over the past few years, there have been a number of me-too meal kit offerings available to consumers. To attract new customers, those meal kit companies offered deep discounts to get started — but it was easy for people to game the system and continuously reap the benefits of discounted meals. That strategy has been a race to the bottom, in my opinion, and one you don't want to win; even worse would be coming in second place!
Purple Carrot has done well in the face of the competitive landscape because of our differentiated offering as the only 100% plant-based meal kit on the market. In addition, beyond just giving people convenient, delicious, healthy food, we are a mission-driven company, aiming to improve people's health and the health of our environment. I think that resonates with our customers, who want to feel like they are a part of something larger than themselves and enjoy aligning their buying habits with our philosophy.
[THG] Any particular plans for the future? For example, we see significant numbers of consumers experimenting with vegetarian, flexitarian and pegan (paleo vegan) eating styles and brick-and-mortar retailers attempting meal kits themselves.
[Andy] Just a few months ago, we launched Extras, which are quick-prep, plant-based breakfast and lunch options for our customers, and that has been very well received. We are now working on another new offering that we will make available mid-year that we are very excited about — but I can't say much more than that! But we'll always be plant-based — that's core to our DNA as a company!

Background/Objectives: It is possible that not all women would want the disclosure of fetal gender by the sonologist during a prenatal scan. The objectives of this study were to determine the proportion of women who do not want fetal gender disclosure at the time of prenatal ultrasonography and document their reasons.
Method: A cross-sectional survey of women that were 20 weeks or more pregnant that had prenatal ultrasound at a private health facility in January 2006. The sonologist asked each of the women during the procedure whether they wanted to know fetal sex or not. Those that consented had disclosure of fetal sex while those that declined gave their reasons, which were documented.
Results: Two hundred and one (201) women were studied within the study period. Most of the women (82%) were of the Hausa/Fulani ethnic group and were predominantly of the Islamic faith (90%). One hundred and ninety women (94.5%) consented to disclosure of fetal gender, while eleven (5.5%) declined. The main reason for not wanting to know fetal sex was: 'Satisfied with any one that comes'.
Conclusion: Most of the pregnant women (94%) would want disclosure of fetal gender at prenatal ultrasound scan. Only 5.5% of the women would not want fetal sex disclosure because they were satisfied with whichever that was there. It is advisable for the sonologist to be discrete on what to say during the procedure especially as it relates to fetal sex so as not to hurt those that do not want disclosure.
Arrière-plan/objectifs: It est possible que les femmes ne sont pas tous les voudrait la divulgation du sexe du foetus par le sonologist au cours d'une analyse prénatale. Les objectifs de cette étude étaient déterminer la proportion de femmes qui ne veulent pas de divulgation du sexe du foetus à le temps d'échographie prénatale et documenter leurs raisons.
Méthode: Une étude transversale des femmes qui étaient 20 semaines ou plus enceinte qui avait échographie prénatale à un établissement de santé privés en janvier 2006. Le sonologist demandé chacune des femmes au cours de la procédure s'ils voulaient connaître le sexe du fœtus ou non. Ceux qui consenti eu divulgation du sexe du fœtus tandis que ceux qui ont diminué ont donné leurs raisons, qui ont été documentées.
Résultats: Deux cents et un (201) femmes ont été étudiées au cours de la période d'étude. Plupart des les femmes (82%) étaient du Hausa groupe ethnique Peuls et étaient principalement de la foi islamique (90%). Femmes d'un cent quatre-vingt-dix (94.5%) avaient consenti à divulgation du sexe du foetus pendant onze (5.5%) a refusé. La principale raison de ne voulant pas connaître le sexe du fœtus était: « satisfait avec un quelconque qui vient».
Conclusion: La plupart des femmes enceintes (94%) voudrait divulgation du sexe du foetus à échographie prénatale. 5.5% Seulement des femmes ne voudrais pas que sexe du fœtus divulgation parce qu'ils étaient satisfaits avec n'importe quel qui était là. Il est conseillé de pour le sonologist à être discret sur ce qu'il faut dire au cours de la procédure en particulier en ce qui concerne les sexe du fœtus donc à ne pas se blesser ceux qui ne veulent pas de divulgation.

The lifelike appearance of current fetal ultrasound images enables even the untrained to visualize a fetus with relative ease. Ultrasound can be used to determine fetal gender as early as the first trimester using the 3D imaging techniques. [1],[2] With the commonly available real-time ultrasound, fetal sex can be determined with some degree of certainty as from the 16th week, and by the 20th week of gestation the accuracy is close to 97%. [3],[4] What will limit determination of fetal gender at that gestation would be the experience of the sonologist, the quality of the machine, the amount of liquor present, the fetal presentation, and position.
The reasons for prenatal fetal sex determination vary from medical indications like sex-linked medical disorders to social reasons like what house to relocate and what wears to buy for the baby. [5],[6] Studies elsewhere have shown that determination and disclosure of fetal gender to pregnant women may be associated with positive or negative parental attitude. [7,8] Also the fear of selective abortion and fetocide of an unwanted sex has led to restrictions or complete ban on prenatal fetal sex determination in some countries. [9],[10] This certainly is not the experience in Nigeria for most of the reasons for seeking prenatal fetal gender are innocuous. [6],[11] Even then, it is not likely that all women that come for prenatal ultrasound would want disclosure of fetal sex before delivery. For any given community, it would be appropriate for the sonologist or the sonographer to know that such a group of women exist and it might also help to know their reasons for not wanting to know fetal sex before delivery.
In an earlier publication, we had shown the reasons why some women would want to know fetal gender before delivery. [6] To complete the story, we sought to know from the same population why some may not want fetal sex disclosure. The objectives of this study, therefore, were to determine the proportion of pregnant women that would not want to know fetal sex at prenatal ultrasound scan and document their reasons.
This was a descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted at a private hospital (Karaye Hospital). The hospital offers ultrasound services and has a large clientele for obstetric ultrasonography drawn from pregnant women within Sokoto metropolis and its environs. There are three certified sonologists of comparable clinical competence at the center.
Consecutive pregnant women at 20 weeks or more gestation were recruited for the study in January 2006. These women were referred for prenatal scan by health care providers or from other hospitals for either a routine scan or for specific obstetric indications. Occasionally, a pregnant woman might come on self-referral for an obstetric scan. For the period of the study, each woman that fulfilled the inclusion criteria was asked by the sonologist during the scan if she wanted to know the sex of the fetus by providing a YES or NO response. Those willing to know fetal sex had disclosure if determined while those that declined had their wishes upheld and their reasons documented.
The ultrasound scan was performed with Siemens Sonoline SL-1 machine using a transabdominal 5.0-MHz probe. Fetal gender was identified by the presence of the sonological features of external genitalia at the perineum. The female fetus was recognized by the two labial folds, which show as two oblong echogenic structures separated by an echo-free area. The male fetus was recognized by the presence of the scrotal sac as a rounded echogenic structure separated by an echogenic median raphe and the phallus as an echogenic cylindrical structure [Figure 1].
Other information obtained from the participating women included biosocial and demographic data (age, ethnic group, religion, occupational status, educational level, gravidity, and parity) and indications for the scan. The information obtained was entered into Statistical Package for Social Science 12.0 software for analysis. Simple frequency tables were generated for descriptive analysis of the total study population.
Two hundred and one (201) pregnant women fulfilled the criteria for inclusion. The age range was from 16 to 44 years with a mean age of 26 years. Majority of the women (82.6%) were of the Hausa/Fulani ethnic group. Others were Yoruba (7.5%), Ibo (4.5%), while the other ethnic minorities constituted 5.5% of the study population. Islam was the predominant religion (90.0%). Most of the study participants had no formal education (49.3%), while those with postsecondary education constituted 12.9%. Housewives constituted 90.5% of subjects studied, with civil servants and students constituting 6.5% and 3.0%, respectively. Primigravidae constituted 21.9% while 7% of the study population had had at least one previous miscarriage [Table 1].
Of the 201 women, 190 (94.5%) wanted to know the fetal sex while 11 (5.5%) declined. The descriptive analysis of the characteristics of the 11 pregnant women that do not want to know their fetal gender is as follows: Hausa/Fulani 8 (72.7%), Islamic religion 9 (81.8%), no formal education 5 (45.5%), housewives 9 (81.8%), and multigravidae 8 (72.7%). None of the women in this group has had a previous miscarriage.
The commonest reason offered for not wanting to know fetal sex was 'Satisfied with anyone' - 5 (45.5%); 'Do not want to know' - 2 (18.2%); 'Have both sexes already' - 1 (9.1%); 'Prefers to know the sex after delivery' - 1 (9.1%); 'Satisfied with God's choice' - 1 (9.1%); and 'Personal reasons' - 1 (9.1%) [Figure 2].
Most of the women (95%) in this study wanted to know fetal gender at prenatal ultrasound. This percentage is higher than the 15% earlier reported from the same community [6] but comparable to the Boston study. [3] Whereas in the earlier study fetal sex seekers were defined as those women who requested fetal sex from the sonologist during the scan; in this present study, fetal sex seekers were those women that accepted to know fetal sex after the sonologist has asked the question. This present study also confirms the suggestions in the earlier work that some women might not have asked the sonologist for fetal sex because they did not know that fetal sex could be determined at ultrasound or that they were simply too shy to ask the question because of the concept of 'Kunya'. 'Kunya' literally means shyness but it is a cultural manifestation of modesty and humility especially among the Hausa/Fulani women. More importantly, is the clear demonstration of the effect of methodology on the results of a study (in one study, the subjects were the ones that requested to know while in another it was the researchers that did the asking). The 95% found in this study is more likely to reflect the true wishes of the study population than the 15% that was earlier reported.
The reason for such a high percentage (95%) wanting to know fetal sex is difficult to explain especially that almost 49% of the study group was not literate. It is possible that some of the women agreed to know the fetal sex probably just to test the accuracy of the findings after delivery.
It is also probable that the 64-69% reported from some centers in Nigeria [11],[12] that used questionnaire surveys to determine the percentage of women that would be interested in fetal sex could be higher if the methodology was by asking the women directly at the time of the procedure as was done in this study. It means that in matters of this nature, there might be a difference between attitude and the real practice!
Only 5.5% of women in this study group declined the offer to know fetal gender. But then their wishes still had to be respected. This brings to fore the habit of running unsolicited commentary during the procedure of prenatal ultrasound especially if the commentary also includes fetal gender. Such would inevitably hurt the feelings of some women!
But should the sonologist wait to be asked by the woman before disclosing fetal gender or should the sonographer proactively ask the woman if she is interested in fetal sex, so as to know who to tell and who not to? Many would not subscribe to the proactive approach since it is of little or no clinical benefit. Some critics have gone further to argue that to routinely ask women such questions at ultrasonography might potentially create a gender-seeking obstetric-ultrasound population, which would put unnecessary pressure on the facility. Perhaps, a middle-of-the-course approach would be to disclose to only those that ask and simply indicate the fetal sex with a symbol (when it is determined) on the written report to the referring health care provider to cater for those that might be too shy to ask the sonologist.
Because of the very small number of women that did not want the disclosure of fetal sex, it was statistically difficult to meaningfully profile and characterize them. However, the most common reason for not wanting to know fetal sex was: 'Satisfied with anyone'. Other reasons included: 'Prefers to know after delivery' and 'Satisfied with God's choice'. These reasons are similar to those reported by Shipp et al, [5] that also found 'wanting the surprise of birth', 'the joy of suspense at delivery' as reasons for not wanting to know fetal sex before delivery.
In conclusion, only about 6% of the study population declined to know fetal gender at ultrasound scan when asked by the sonologist. The main reason was that they were satisfied with whatever fetal gender that was present. There should be some discretion by the sonologist on what to say to the woman during prenatal ultrasound scan especially as it relates to fetal gender since not all women would like to know fetal sex before delivery.

Swedish Parenting Traditions
Written by Maggie McCormick
According to UNICEF, the Scandinavian nation of Sweden is one of the best countries in the world to raise a child. The country actively works to protect the rights of children, while lending considerable support to parents.
Sweden offers more time off for new parents than any other country, according to a 2011 report on NPR. They are allowed to take 480 days per child, and most parents receive 80 percent pay during this time. This leave does not have to occur during the first year; a parent can take the time off any time during the child's first eight years. Additionally, 60 of these days are allocated to the father, but the parents can choose to split up the parental leave in any way they choose 1. If it makes more sense, the father can take the bulk of the leave, though currently, fathers take about 20 percent of the leave, according to Sweden.se, the country's official website.
The vast majority of parents work outside the home -- 80 percent of mothers and 90 percent of fathers, according to Sweden.se. This is probably because of parental leave options and the availability of affordable child care. Starting from age 6 to the university level, children receive free education. In the early years, cities set a maximum rate that child care centers can charge to help make it affordable for all.
In 1979, the Swedish government banned corporal punishment, according to Sweden.se. Instead, Swedish parents focus on using words rather than spanking in order to discipline their children. They also feel strongly about developing a strong parent-child bond, which is illustrated by the generous amount of paid parental leave that parents receive 1.
Teens and Sex
In Sweden, the age of sexual consent is 15, and parents generally are more liberal than Americans when it comes to the sexual lives of their teenagers, according to Sweden.se. Many parents will allow their child's boyfriend or girlfriend to spend the night. This normalizes and recognizes the budding teenage sexuality, teaches the teens to develop strong relationships before having sex -- since the parents are likely to have to meet the partner -- and gives them a safe place to learn about sex.

Humpbacks in Hawaii waters. Photo: NOAA/HIHWNMS.
With Hawaii's peak whale watching season coming to a close, whale sanctuary expansion proposed
By Meghan Miner Apr 1, 2015
Hawaii's humpback whales may soon find more space and more protected species sharing their safe winter playground. Last week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced a proposed rule outlining their plans to expand the size and scope of the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary.
The Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary currently encompasses areas of shallow (less than 600 feet), warm federal and state waters off each of the main Hawaiian Islands. It was the 12th marine sanctuary in the U.S. when it was established by an act of Congress in 1992 in order to protect the endangered North Pacific humpback whales and the habitat in Hawaii that they visit each year to breed and give birth.
The new proposal, an update to the marine sanctuary's current management plan, acknowledges the role of the marine sanctuary in successfully boosting whale numbers—from 6,000 in 1993 to 10,000 in 2006 and steadily increasing since—and seeks a more holistic management approach to continue to buoy the whales' numbers.
To do this, they propose protecting whole ecosystems within the marine sanctuary with sanctuary-wide and location-specific regulations. Under the new proposed rule, coral, fish, turtles and other marine mammals, not just whales, will receive special protection. There will also be additional rules to protect the whole ecosystem, including prohibiting practices such as discharging wastes within and beyond sanctuary boundaries, altering submerged lands, using explosives, introducing non-native species and damaging or destroying signs. This management strategy, called "ecosystem-based management" or EBM by scientists, is more in line with modern scientific understanding as well as Hawaiian cultural marine management practices.

In addition to created a protected space with more species' needs in mind, the proposed expansion would add 235 more square miles to the existing 1,366-square-mile sanctuary. The new boundaries will include waters surrounding the entire coastline of the island of Niihau, small sections off of the north shores of Kauai and Oahu, added area between Lanai and Kahoolawe, as well as a small section of the Kaiwi Channel between Oahu and Molokai on the Penguin Bank.
And, if all the changes go through as NOAA has proposed, the marine sanctuary will get a new name: Hawaiian Islands National Marine Sanctuary – Na Kai Ewalu. The Hawaiian portion of the name translates roughly to "eight ocean waters," and refers to the sanctuary's expanded presence around each of the main Hawaiian Islands.

The new proposal comes as Hawaii's annual whale season is winding to a close. Whales visit Hawaii between November and May, but peak season is between January and March. Volunteers completed the final day of the sanctuary's 20th annual ocean count this past weekend. Held one day a month over the three months of peak whale watching season, volunteers on three islands sign up to count whales. Over the three count days this year, as many as 2,300 volunteers stationed at 58 sites throughout the state tallied hundreds of whales, many of which were spotted enjoying waters within sanctuary boundaries. The count is used in conjunction with scientist-gathered data to gauge Hawaii's visiting whale populations each year. It's estimated that around 2/3 of the total population of North Pacific humpback whales make the journey annually from Alaska to Hawaii.
For now, NOAA's proposal is still just a proposal, offering four possible outcomes. In order address and incorporate public concerns about the sanctuary's expansion into its final manifestation—including specifically how the new proposal will manage for uses like fishing and recreation, and protect Hawaiian cultural and coastal resources—public hearings are scheduled in communities across the state between April 27 and May 7, 2015.

The sanctuary's management plan was last updated in 2002.
