On my way to the capital of Sweden!
Have not been there for a few years so very much looking forward to a visit.
Just by looking at pictures of Stockholm makes my heart beat a little extra.
I know a lot has happened since we moved out in the world the year of 2000 but hopefully it's not only to the bad.
Meanwhile I'm dressing up in my positive thoughts, my open heart and I'm going to put on my euphemistic glasses because i don't want to be disappointed. Not now.
Today I want to let my dog shine here in cyberspace.
I think I will never get used to the unconditional love that keeps on coming from him like there is no tomorrow.
But o'boy am i enjoying it?!
I am absorbing every hint of affection from that fury fluff ball.
His whole mind seems to be all about pleasing.
Whatever it is I buy it because that four leg creature is spreading so much wellbeing and happiness ( and bad breath according to Bella) in our family and who can get enough of that?!
How on on earth did we manage before we had a dog?
Yup, today was a day when the kids suddenly had grew out of everything and us parents just had to take a bite of that sour apple and head to the mall.
Two hours later three kids and one husband left the mall with a smile on their face and clothes in a bag.
Impatient sister forcing herself to find something she could buy.
I guess in the end it was too much of an effort to visit the mall on a Sunday although they would never admit that.
What don't we do for the kids?!
Ikea has teamed up with the British fashiondesigner Kit Neale and is presenting a collection inspired by the youth culture and all the chaos involved in those young years.
Four strong ( and crazy) print based collections are made for young people on the move.
The collection features housewares, apparel and accessories and has both "the 60s pop art, 90s fashion and modern days music festival" as inspiration according to ikea.
I just can't get anything but happy looking at the bold standout prints.
Weirdly enough I had a tendency today to think spring.
Maybe it was something in the air, maybe the sun, or something whispered in the wind.
I had a box waiting for me outside the entrance door, filled with my blue and white China that I so love.
I have almost every item in this design.
So far I'm not tired of it.
So those plates and the tulips definitely also contributed to my spring feelings.
Blue and white China, tulips and thoughts about brighter times to come.
Slowly slowly our pool is getting closer to an end.
The paving with stabilazing wall and the stairs down from the patio has been in focus now for quite a while.
Some warmth and noisy kids too and you get a holiday feeling.
Its been a little windy lately.
We changed and built a new fence last summer and tjoff, a little storm, and there is suddenly a "crack" in the perfect.
Made me think how easily we hurt each other in the human world too.
I mean this is just a fence and can easily be built up again.
Our fence can sometimes be tricky to mend.
Some will get scars that never completely disappears.
The good thing is that support, encouragement, comfort, compassion and kindness from other human beings can help build up a person that has a crack in their facade.
The power of kindness, empathy and love.
Is it not such a beautiful thing?!
We all need to be able to withstand when it's windy in our lives.
Be nice out there people! Hug each other a lot!
This weekend offered Indian vibes.
Bella and I are members in a mom and daughter book club and it was our turn to host.
The book we have been reading was about a girl in India so of course it was given to serve a chicken tikka masala, mango lassi and naan bread.
Many wise and interesting comments regarding the character and the different culture in the book were shared.
Again I get filled of amazement and pride listening to what the kids have to say from their "level". So full of insight, understanding and a healthy curiosity about other ways of living, thinking and being.
It is such a pity some people seem to loose those qualities growing up.
I found this picture in my archive that instantly filled me with love and proudness.
It's unbelievable how much has happened in those years between then and now.
Bella was still being breastfed and the others were competing in being the best big brother-sister to their baby and did not run away far from the rest of the family.
As comparison my oldest is going back to college tomorrow, Olivia is out having dinners with friends, Max is at the movie theater tonight and going skiing tomorrow with friends. Bella is at gymnastics coming home late.
Independent, confident, safe and extremely loved.
Nature and my mind speak the same language these days.
Mellow, a little bit fragile in its exposure and colorless.
Trying to squeeze the last out of the days with my oldest son before he is going back to college.
All these constant changes in life.
Mostly my son is up in his room by himself but now and then I make him walk with me and Elvis in the forest.
Its like opening the tap for some water.
Wonderful, instructive, loving and just so intimate.
Those moments are gold worth to me.
Those moments with him are going straight into my heart, finds an empty spot and kind of settles softly while it's giving my heart the feeling of being dipped in gold ( chocolate would have been good enough as humble I am).
And before you know it he is gone again.
Changes, for better or worse.
When there is a storm going on in heart, soul and life it's nice to let your mind rest in memories filled with peace.
On our trip to the maya ruins during our Cancun holiday we stopped for lunch in Tulum at a restaurant on a paradise beach.
It focused on organic, sustainable and a "natural" experience and was really a treat for your soul.
Sunshine, food, laughs, beauty, warmth and togetherness.
Im so happy I have a memory bank bigger than Mount Everest.
I pick something that suits my mood and let my thoughts re-live those moments. Through my memories I can get strenght, courage, positive energy and a feeling of well being.
Today I escaped the suburb and went with a friend to the countryside in the middle of nowhere.
Her mission was to fill bags with vegetables, root mixes and onions from the farm we visited and distribute them back in our town to other members in this community supported organic garden.
My role in this was only to keep her company and get a chance to let my soul rest a little in the peaceful environment.
A perfect start of the weekend with this down-to-earth experience that just gives you a different perspective on things, calms you down and refreshen your thoughts.
And to have the pleasure of sharing a day like this with a beautiful friend felt like the experience was sprinkled with gold.
A winterworld in a box.
Place arts and craft thing in the hands of Bella and her friend and the success is given.
To paint, glue and build give so much stimulation and satisfaction and to do that with a friend definitely takes their experience even to another level.
I bought this winterland in a box for them and they immediately got to work to transform it the way the wanted.
Together, in peace and with a silent, implicit goal of how they wanted this world to be.
Two hungry artists later and a looong play with this self made winterworld made up for bad weather and was a welcoming break from iPads and tv hang.
I love the creativity that just explodes with either a purchased box of crafts or after a small hint of what can be done from what you find in nature.
-up with Piet Hein Eek (among a few others), I again felt so proud for the big Swedish company.
It is such a happy collection of rattan furniture, ceramics, lights, fabrics and baskets that it makes my heart dance.
The rich patterned fabrics give such color splash it will serve as the sun a grey and rainy day.
This collection will be out for sale in march and I will be the first one entering the doors trying to get hold of some of those furnitures.
My beautiful, kind, friendly, fluffy and happy dog has now turned 6 month.
He loves the snow, he is running, jumping and kicking up the snow as it would be the last thing he would do.
Everyday he is delivering love, trust and happiness.
And I just stand here bowing, thankful for every minute he is fulfilling my life.
Im amazed of how a package of creme colored fur can create so many laughs, so much love and be so enriching.
On the pool front nothing new!
Its seems to be a very slow process also due to the shifting weather.
One day it's too cold, the other day it's too rainy and the next day it is then too wet on the ground and it needs to dry up.
On the other hand the snow brings light, beauty and a wintery feeling which kind of switch off the immediate need of having a pool to splash around in.
We decided to go explore some maya ruins and finish off with a swim in an underground river.
The bustrip was long so we had some time to watch the surrounding area.
What we saw was poverty but a lot of smiles.
We saw misery but heard about hope.
We saw current time and learnt about the history.
Who can resist old stones and pyramids when you actually are allow to touch, jump and climb them too?!
Unfortunately the pictures from Olivias GoPro turned out weird and blurry so only showing the ones you can actually see something on but the experience was the more cool and amazing.
To walk, swim and crawl in life wests and helmets in crystal clear water amongst stalagmites and stalagtites was a pretty unique thing to share as a family.
Now Friday in a slightly different world and position. home, horizontal in our sofa.
Since Bella started gymnastics she has been dreaming of joining UCLA and their gymnastics team when she has reached the appropriate age.
While we were in Cancun they did not have gymnastic classes but they did have circus.
According to her the trapeze was the most fun.
Just watching her gave me both chills and a kick of adrenaline.
I can not do anything but admire her.
Always ready to try out new things.
My own beautiful and fearless little circus princess.
Even though I've been in bed for two days now trying to cure a cold that completely knocked me out yesterday I did manage to start a very exciting first step in my "career"!
If you are curious and want to follow me on instagram you will find me @homesinharmony.
Another big thing is that I am introduced in the Swedish Feng shui association's news letter this month as one of the new members. Wo hoo!!
Speaking about the importance of balance...I do look extremely well balanced in my double pair of glasses, don't I?!
So it might be a small step for mankind in general (!) but definitely a big step for me personal.
And I need to start somewhere!
Remember to go check out @homesinharmony and maybe I will see you there!
The first day of the year offered clear blue sky and mild temperature as if nature was trying to say "let's give 2017 a good start, shall we?! Enjoy!
And enjoying is what we all are doing during this break.
Either walking in the forest or just laying under a blanket with a book or in front of the tv.
One more day of holiday and then reality calls for attention.
I love the no-pressure, relaxed and do-whatever-I-want-at-whatever-time-I-want life the holiday offer but I'm also a huge fan of routines.
Maybe I need routines to really appreciate the time off-schedule?!
Or perhaps it's the reverse?!
Anyway, one more day on a lazy cloud and then I can't wait to start, proceed and experience a few promises and plans for this upcoming year.
The company of my beautiful daughter on mine and Elvis walk today made the day feel like it's been sprinkled with gold.
Could not have gotten a better start!

Objective Precise delineation of the para-aortic nodal region is critical for the optimal therapeutic ratio of prophylactic para-aortic radiotherapy. We aimed to evaluate the para-aortic control and patient-reported gastrointestinal toxicity in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer who received anatomy-based or margin-based prophylactic para-aortic radiotherapy.
Methods We analyzed 160 patients with locally advanced cervical cancer who received prophylactic extended-field radiotherapy between January 2014 and November 2019 at two tertiary centers. Para-aortic nodal regions were delineated based on the anatomic principle-based atlas or marginal expansion from the aorta and inferior vena cava. The Patient-Reported Outcome version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events was used to assess acute gastrointestinal toxicity, and a score of ≥3 was defined as severe gastrointestinal toxicity.
Results Seventy-six (47.5%) and 84 (52.5%) patients received anatomy-based and margin-based prophylactic para-aortic radiotherapy, respectively. The median follow-up was 40.1 months (IQR 25.5–58.9). Para-aortic nodal failures occurred in one (1.3%) patient in the anatomy-based para-aortic radiotherapy group and in one (1.2%) patient in the margin-based para-aortic radiotherapy group (p=1.00). There was no in-field or marginal para-aortic nodal failure. The 3-year para-aortic recurrence-free survival for anatomy-based and margin-based para-aortic radiotherapy was 98.6% and 98.8%, respectively (p=0.94). Patients who received anatomy-based para-aortic radiotherapy reported less severe acute gastrointestinal toxicity than those who received margin-based para-aortic radiotherapy (13.2% vs 29.8%, p=0.01). A comparison of gastrointestinal toxicities showed that patients who received anatomy-based para-aortic radiotherapy reported significantly less severe gastrointestinal toxicity than those who received margin-based para-aortic radiotherapy in terms of frequency of diarrhea (7.9% vs 20.2%, p=0.03), severity of abdominal pain (3.9% vs 14.3%, p=0.03), and interference of abdominal pain (2.6% vs 11.9%, p=0.03).
Conclusion Anatomy-based prophylactic para-aortic radiotherapy achieved excellent para-aortic control and a lower incidence of severe patient-reported gastrointestinal toxicity. These findings suggest that anatomy-based delineation optimizes clinical outcomes of prophylactic para-aortic radiotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer.

Fire and
Fire and EMS responses are a concern in Mayo because average response times are longer than the nationally recommended average. There are also concerns about access for emergency vehicles because of closures on Central Ave./214 due to accidents and lack of consistent shoulders along that road, which is our only access to the peninsula.
The county opened a temporary emergency services station on the Mayo peninsula in 2018, on Pure Water Way. It operates with 2 personnel and 1 BLS unit weekdays only from 9 a.m. -5:30 p.m. This station was put into place as a pilot program to address community concerns. It is still considered temporary, though it's unclear when it might end operation.
Data during the pilot study is inconclusive, because most emergency calls on the peninsula to place on Sunday — when the temporary station is not open. Our most active times occur after the station is closed. The county fire department is aware of our need for an emergency station on the peninsula.
Unfortunately, we aren't the only area in need and therefore it comes down to prioritizing these needs and the county budget. Woodland Beach Volunteer Fire Department, in Londontown, is still our main
station. They operate with both volunteers and county career personnel. They have purchased land on the corner of Routes 2 and 214 as a site for a new station, which would be closer to our peninsula than its current location. However, they have not determined for sure that this will in fact be their new location. Also, they face the challenge of raising funds for the new station, which could cost $7 million.

« Prev Chapter 10 Next »
Jer 10:1-25. Contrast between the Idols and Jehovah. The Prophet's Lamentation and Prayer.
1. Israel—the Jews, the surviving representatives of the nation.
2. Eichorn thinks the reference here to be to some celestial portent which had appeared at that time, causing the Jews' dismay. Probably the reference is general, namely, to the Chaldeans, famed as astrologers, through contact with whom the Jews were likely to fall into the same superstition.
way—the precepts or ordinances (Le 18:3; Ac 9:2).
signs of heaven—The Gentiles did not acknowledge a Great First Cause: many thought events depended on the power of the stars, which some, as Plato, thought to be endued with spirit and reason. All heavenly phenomena, eclipses, comets, &c., are included.
one cutteth a tree, &c.—rather, "It (that which they busy themselves about: a sample of their 'customs') is a tree cut out of the forest" [Maurer].
4. fasten … move not—that is, that it may stand upright without risk of falling, which the god (!) would do, if left to itself (Isa 41:7).
5. upright—or, "They are of turned work, resembling a palm tree" [Maurer]. The point of comparison between the idol and the palm is in the pillar-like uprightness of the latter, it having no branches except at the top.
speak not—(Ps 115:5).
cannot go—that is, walk (Ps 115:7; Isa 46:1, 7).
neither … do good—(Isa 41:23).
6. none—literally, "no particle of nothing": nothing whatever; the strongest possible denial (Ex 15:11; Ps 86:8, 10).
7. (Re 15:4).
to thee doth it appertain—to Thee it properly belongs, namely, that Thou shouldest be "feared" (taken out of the previous "fear Thee") (compare Eze 21:27). He alone is the becoming object of worship. To worship any other is unseemly and an infringement of His inalienable prerogative.
none—nothing whatever (see on Jer 10:6; Ps 89:6).
8. altogether—rather, "all alike" [Maurer]. Even the so-called "wise" men (Jer 10:7) of the Gentiles are on a level with the brutes and "foolish," namely, because they connive at the popular idolatry (compare Ro 1:21-28). Therefore, in Daniel and Revelation, the world power is represented under a bestial form. Man divests himself of his true humanity, and sinks to the level of the brute, when he severs his connection with God (Ps 115:8; Jon 2:8).
stock is a doctrine of vanities—The stock (put for the worship of all idols whatever, made out of a stock) speaks for itself that the whole theory of idolatry is vanity (Isa 44:9-11). Castalio translates, "the very wood itself confuting the vanity" (of the idol).
9. Everything connected with idols is the result of human effort.
Silver spread—(See on Isa 30:22; Isa 40:19).
Tarshish—Tartessus, in Spain, famed for precious metals.
Uphaz—(Da 10:5). As the Septuagint in the Syrian Hexapla in the Margin, Theodotus, the Syrian and Chaldee versions have "Ophir," Gesenius thinks "Uphaz" a colloquial corruption (one letter only being changed) for "Ophir." Ophir, in Ge 10:29, is mentioned among Arabian countries. Perhaps Malacca is the country meant, the natives of which still call their gold mines Ophirs. Heeren thinks Ophir the general name for the rich countries of the south, on the Arabian, African, and Indian coasts; just as our term, East Indies.
cunning—skilful.
10. true God—literally, "God Jehovah is truth"; not merely true, that is, veracious, but truth in the reality of His essence, as opposed to the "vanity" or emptiness which all idols are (Jer 10:3, 8, 15; 2Ch 15:3; Ps 31:5; 1Jo 5:20).
living God—(Joh 5:26; 1Ti 6:17). He hath life in Himself which no creature has. All else "live in Him" (Ac 17:28). In contrast to dead idols.
everlasting—(Ps 10:16). In contrast to the temporary existence of all other objects of worship.
11. This verse is in Chaldee, Jeremiah supplying his countrymen with a formula of reply to Chaldee idolaters in the tongue most intelligible to the latter. There may be also derision intended in imitating their barbarous dialect. Rosenmuller objects to this view, that not merely the words put in the mouths of the Israelites, but Jeremiah's own introductory words, "Thus shall ye say to them," are in Chaldee, and thinks it to be a marginal gloss. But it is found in all the oldest versions. It was an old Greek saying: "Whoever thinks himself a god besides the one God, let him make another world" (Ps 96:5).
shall perish—(Isa 2:18; Zec 13:2).
these heavens—the speaker pointing to them with his fingers.
12. Continuation of Jer 10:10, after the interruption of the thread of the discourse in Jer 10:11 (Ps 136:5, 6).
13. Literally, "At the voice of His giving forth," that is, when He thunders. (Job 38:34; Ps 29:3-5).
waters—(Ge 1:7)—above the firmament; heavy rains accompany thunder.
vapours … ascend—(Ps 135:7).
treasures—His stores.
14. in his knowledge—"is rendered brutish by his skill," namely, in idol-making (Jer 10:8, 9). Thus the parallel, "confounded by the graven image," corresponds (so Jer 51:17). Others not so well translate, "without knowledge," namely, of God (see Isa 42:17; 45:16; Ho 4:6).
15. errors—deceptions; from a Hebrew root, "to stutter"; then meaning "to mock."
their visitation they—When God shall punish the idol-worshippers (namely, by Cyrus), the idols themselves shall be destroyed [Rosenmuller] (Jer 10:11).
16. portion—from a Hebrew root, "to divide." God is the all-sufficient Good of His people (Nu 18:20; Ps 16:5; 73:26; La 3:24).
not like them—not like the idols, a vain object of trust (De 32:31).
former of all things—the Fashioner (as a potter, Isa 64:8) of the universe.
rod of his inheritance—The portion marked off as His inheritance by the measuring rod (Eze 48:21). As He is their portion, so are they His portion (De 32:9). A reciprocal tie (compare Jer 51:19; Ps 74:2, Margin). Others make "rod" refer to the tribal rod or scepter.
17. wares—thine effects or movable goods (Eze 12:3). Prepare for migrating as captives to Babylon. The address is to Jerusalem, as representative of the whole people.
inhabitant of the fortress—rather, "inhabitress of the fortress." Though thou now seemest to inhabit an impregnable fortress, thou shalt have to remove. "The land" is the champaign region opposed to the "fortified" cities. The "fortress" being taken, the whole "land" will share the disaster. Henderson translates, "Gather up thy packages from the ground." Rosenmuller, for "fortress," translates, "siege," that is, the besieged city. The various articles, in this view, are supposed to be lying about in confusion on the ground during the siege.
18. sling out—expressing the violence and suddenness of the removal to Babylon. A similar image occurs in Jer 16:13; 1Sa 25:29; Isa 22:17, 18.
at this once—at this time, now.
find it so—find it by experience, that is, feel it (Eze 6:10). Michaelis translates, "I will bind them together (as in a sling) that they may reach the goal" (Babylon). English Version is best: "that they may find it so as I have said" (Nu 23:19; Eze 6:10).
19. Judea bewails its calamity.
wound—the stroke I suffer under.
I must bear—not humble submission to God's will (Mic 7:9), but sullen impenitence. Or, rather, it is prophetical of their ultimate acknowledgment of their guilt as the cause of their calamity (La 3:39).
20. tabernacle is spoiled—metaphor from the tents of nomadic life; as these are taken down in a few moments, so as not to leave a vestige of them, so Judea (Jer 4:20).
cords—with which the coverings of the tent are extended.
curtains—tent-curtains.
21. pastors—the rulers, civil and religious. This verse gives the cause of the impending calamity.
22. bruit—rumor of invasion. The antithesis is between the voice of God in His prophets to whom they turned a deaf ear, and the cry of the enemy, a new teacher, whom they must hear [Calvin].
north country—Babylon (Jer 1:15).
23. Despairing of influencing the people, he turns to God.
way of man not in himself—(Pr 16:1; 20:24; Jas 4:13, 14). I know, O Jehovah, that the march of the Babylonian conqueror against me (Jeremiah identifying himself with his people) is not at his own discretion, but is overruled by Thee (Isa 10:5-7; compare Jer 10:19).
that walketh—when he walketh, that is, sets out in any undertaking.
direct … steps—to give a prosperous issue to (Ps 73:23).
24, 25. Since I (my nation) must be corrected (justice requiring it because of the deep guilt of the nation), I do not deprecate all chastisement, but pray only for moderation in it (Jer 30:11; Ps 6:1; 38:1); and that the full tide of Thy fury may be poured out on the heathen invaders for their cruelty towards Thy people. Ps 79:6, 7, a psalm to be referred to the time of the captivity, its composer probably repeated this from Jeremiah. The imperative, "Pour out," is used instead of the future, expressing vividly the certainty of the prediction, and that the word of God itself effects its own declarations. Accordingly, the Jews were restored after correction; the Babylonians were utterly extinguished.
know thee … call … on thy name—Knowledge of God is the beginning of piety; calling on Him the fruit.
heathen … Jacob—He reminds God of the distinction He has made between His people whom Jacob represents, and the heathen aliens. Correct us as Thy adopted sons, the seed of Jacob; destroy them as outcasts (Zec 1:14, 15, 21).

Helen Watson is a unique performer whose matured voice and idiosyncratic songs are a welcome change in the world of singer-songwriters. Her magical music crosses the boundaries between blues, soul, jazz and folk.
Helen began performing on the folk-club circuit during the late 'sixties. She was one half of a soul duo; a singer with the renowned blues band LOOSE LIPS; a member of the Manchester quartet WELL KNIT FRAMES; and was a backing singer with CARMEL on an extensive world tour. Helen's unique style earned her an enviable reputation and much session work, which in the early 80's led to an interest in her songwriting and a subsequent recording contract with EMI. Helen's first album Blue Slipper was produced in Los Angeles by the legendary Glyn Johns; musicians included Albert Lee, Little Feat and Bernie Leadon. Helen toured Europe with Joe Cocker. Her second EMI album – The Weather Inside was also produced by Glyn Johns and featured a powerful duet with Andy Fairweather-Low on Hanging Out The Washing.
In the early 1990's Helen was a member of the acclaimed vocal ensemble HELL BENT HEAVEN BOUND with Christine Collister, Barb Jungr and Michael Parker. They toured Europe, America and Canada. Helen soon formed her own band and the female supergroup DAPHNE'S FLIGHT – with Christine Collister, Melanie Harrold, Julie Matthews and Chris While. This later ensemble released their powerful eponymous album in 1995.
1995 also saw the release of Notes On Desire the magnificent debut from the Helen Watson Band. During the latter part of the 'nineties Helen co-produced CHRISTINE COLLISTER's Blue Aconite, and began recording her own beautifully stunning trilogy of albums for the Fledg'ling label – Somersault (1996), Doffing (1999) and Lifesize (2002).
Somersault – a stunning collection of Helen's original songs – was co-produced by fellow Daphne's Flight member Julie Matthews, with guest appearances from Chris While, Howard Lees, Christine Collister, Chris Leslie and Julie Matthews.
Doffing is a beautiful tip of the hat to some of Helen's favourite songs and songwriters. Among the extraordinary range of material are sublime readings of Bruce Springsteen's Ain't Got You, Robert Parker Jnr.'s Barefootin, Junior Parker's Mystery Train and Billy Strayhorn's Lush Life.
Helen's latest solo album Lifesize is possibly her finest recording yet – the very best acoustic folk-soul from Britain. The album is a stunning collection of Helen's magically understated songs – beguiling songs of hope, intriguing songs of love lost and new love found, and exquisite pastoral vignettes – all focussed around that glorious acclaimed. Guests on the album include longtime cohorts – Howard Lees, Julie Matthews, Chris While and Kellie While.
Helen continues to contribute to albums by Christine Collister, Julie Matthews and Chris While. Her vocals can also be heard on the latest duet album Western Wall from EMMYLOU HARRIS and LINDA RONSTADT. 2002 saw Helen contribute to both ASHLEY HUTCHINGS' Street Cries and Shining Bright – the LAL and MIKE WATERSON tribute collection. On the latter Helen and Heather Greenbank perform a stunning ready of Lal's Shine accompanied by a string quintet conducted by the legendary ROBERT KIRBY (Nick Drake). In 2003 Helen and Heather recorded a splendid reading of Blind Willie Johnson's Tear This Building Down for Dark Was The Night – a charity collection on our sister Deep Sea label.
2006 saw Helen begin gigging with the splendid Burden of Paradise ensemble and an expanded edition of her 1987 album Blue Slipper with four rare bonus tracks.

DVS Application Note 09 Measuring the Moisture Sorption Kinetics of Cements using DVS – Moisture uptake in cements is an important factor in its long term storage stability and is typically measured by storing large containers in controlled conditions over long periods of time. In this application note we show how Dynamic Vapor Sorption (DVS) analysis is a rapid method for obtaining the same measurements.
DVS Application Note 11 Moisture Stability of Powdered Milk Formulations – Safe storage life of powdered milk formulations depends on moisture stability particularly if exposed to prolonged periods of high humidity and temperature. In this note we performed moisture sorption analysis using DVS to determine if unbound moisture would be released, which could encourage microbial growth.
DVS Application Note 12 Absolute Measurement of Moisture Diffusion into Blister Packaging Systems – Blister packaging systems are often used as a primary barrier to the ingress of moisture into moisture sensitive products. These blister packaging systems often show substantial differences in barrier properties to the unformed polymer film due to localised defects/stresses in the polymer material as a result of the forming process. The DVS results may be used to assess batch-to-batch quality variations, or may be used to predict product life under a wide range of storage conditions for example.
DVS Application Note 13 Moisture Sorption of Hydrophobic Pharmaceutical Substances – DVS is commonly employed to measure the moisture sorption properties of hygroscopic pharmaceutical materials. The affinity of these materials for the sorption of moisture is often due to a degree of amorphous character present in the material. Highly crystalline materials such as salts of drugs may have very low affinities for moisture sorption due to the low surface energy of the particles formed during the crystallisation process.
DVS Application Note 14 Moisture Sorption of Activated Carbon – Activated carbons are used throughout industry in various applications including environmental air filtration to solvent and heavy metal recovery. In this study we measure the moisture sorption properties of activated carbon using DVS analysis.

This application note describes how DVS moisture sorption analysis is used to study humic acids to better understand the possible complexation of water by humic acids. Batch to batch variability and the effects of humidity perturbations were also studied.
DVS Application Note 25 Moisture Sorption on Bohemian Brown Coal Humic Acids – This application note continues our study on humic acids by measuring the water sorption by humic acids of Bohemian brown coal origin.
DVS Application Note 26 Isotherm Types and Adsorption Mechanisms of Solvents on Pharmaceutical Excipients – The interaction of organic solvents and water with pharmaceutical powders is highly important for the understanding of solvent-based processes, e.g. wet-granulation, crystallization, drying or prediction of product stability and shelf life. For these reasons information about the adsorption mechanism of these solvents on powder surfaces is required. This information can often be obtained from the shape of the vapour sorption isotherm.
DVS Application Note 27 Hygroscopicity of Japanese Green Tea Powder – The water uptake in food products is key to determining their stability. In many cases, excess water uptake will lead to caking, dissolution or even mould growth. The Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) machine enables real time measurements to be undertaken of the water sorption kinetics on food materials over a wide range of relative humidities (from 0% RH to 98% RH) and temperatures.
DVS Application Note 28 Water pickup in Monosodium Glutamate – The water uptake in flavour delivery systems is key to their performance.

The moisture content of creams and the rate of moisture loss under different conditions are important for determining factors such as the texture, the feeling on the skin and the efficacy of the cream. In this application note, we describe the measurement of moisture (and organic vapour) loss in creams using DVS and apply it to the calculation of diffusion coefficients.
DVS Application Note 30 Calculation of Diffusion Constants in a Pharmaceutical Powder using DVS – Vapour diffusion rates are of interest in a wide range of applications including: polymers, pharmaceuticals, flavours, and foods. This application note describes the measurement of water vapour diffusion coefficient and its activation energy of diffusion into an amorphous pharmaceutical powder by measuring water vapour sorption kinetics using a DVS instrument.
DVS Application Note 31 Measurement of Moisture Ingress in Microelectronic Device Packaging – In this paper DVS ET(Elevated Temperature) is used to study the moisture sorption of a standard 16 pin DIL IC package under precisely controlled temperature and humidity conditions to demonstrate the capacity of the instrument to overcome the challenges of measuring very small weight changes in samples over a long period of time under highly aggressive conditions such as 85% RH and 85°C .
DVS Application Note 32 Accelerated Moisture Sorption Measurements by DVS Microsample Analysis – A key requirement in the development of new pharmaceutical products is the screening of large numbers of candidate substances for potentially undesirable physical properties such as moisture sorption/stability. This application note describes the approach to reduce analysis times by up to ten times by utilising the very high sensitivity of the ultra-balance employed in the DVS instrument.
DVS Application Note 33 Moisture Sorption Measurements on a Lyophilised Bovine Serum Albumin Sample – In the development of solid-state dosage forms of biopharmaceuticals the effect of moisture on the stability and structure have become increasingly important. This paper investigates the affects of bovine serum albumin (BSA) loading on the moisture sorption behaviour with co-lyophilised sugars. For maltose and sucrose, increasing BSA content increased the moisture-induced crystallization humidity. For mannitol, the water sorption results indicate a higher mannitol amorphous content is possible with higher BSA loadings.
DVS Application Note 34 A New Gravimetric Method to Calculate Low Levels of Amorphous Content – A new method to quantify low amorphous contents using DVS was developed using organic vapours. The difference in sorption capacity between crystalline and amorphous phases was used to determine amorphous contents below 1%. This new method is compared with four established methods for measuring amorphous contents using gravimetric vapour sorption techniques.
DVS Application Note 35 Determining the Moisture-Induced Glass Transition in an Amorphous Pharmaceutical Material – A new method to determine the onset relative humidity for a glass transition in an amorphous material was developed using the DVS. Water vapour can act as a plasticising agent in amorphous materials, causing a recrystallisation event below the glass transition temperature. This method calculates the threshold relative humidity for this moisture-induced glass transition at a particular temperature.
DVS Application Note 36 Investigation of Hydrate Formation and Loss Using DVS – Water vapour can associate with solids in many ways, including adsorb on the surface, absorb deep into the bulk structure, chemisorb to the surface, act as a plasticizing agent forcing a glass transition and potentially inducing spontaneous recrystallization, or chemically react with the solid. Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) allows the fast and accurate determination of hydrate/solvate stoichiometry for a wide range of solid-vapour systems. This paper describes hydrate loss and formation on naloxone HCl and nedocromil sodium samples.
DVS Application Note 37 Hysteresis Effects in Vapour Sorption – Hysteresis effects in vapour sorption on solid materials can have different causes. Four different mechanisms responsible for fundamental hysteresis effects are described and discussed in this paper. Although hysteresis can occur as a combination of different causes, misinterpretation occurs quite regularly in literature. For this reason it is important to analyse the hysteresis shape carefully.
DVS Application Note 38 Determination of Mesopore Size Distribution by Organic Vapour Sorption – Alumina samples have been investigated by organic vapour sorption. Mesoporous structures were studied and pore size distributions have been calculated based on octane adsorption experiments at ambient conditions. The results were in good agreement with standard low temperature nitrogen adsorption measurements.

The second mixture consisted of co-lyophilised bovine serum albumin (BSA) and mannitol.
DVS Application Note 41 Using the DVS to Study the Formation of Solvates – Pharmaceutical solids can often form solvated species which can affect the material's physical and chemical stability. Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) allows the fast and accurate determination of solvate stoichiometry for a range of solid-vapour systems. This paper describes acetone solvate formation of anhydrous carbamazepine and ethanol solvation of erythromycin. A 1:1 carbamazepine-acetone solvate and a 1:3 erythromycin-ethanol solvate were observed in this study.
DVS Application Note 42 Using the DVS to Investigate Moisture-Induced Crystallization Kinetics – Many amorphous solids will revert to more theremodynamically stable crystalline forms if exposed to conditions above their glass transition. The rate of crystallization can be influenced by temperature, relative humidity and other neighbouring materials. We performed water sorption analysis using a DVS instrument to study the crystallization behaviouor of amourphous spray-dried lactose over a wide range of temperature and humidity conditions.
DVS Application Note 43 Determination of Surface Energetics of Mineral Aggregates used in Asphalt by DVS – The quality of asphalt depends strongly on the affinity of the mineral aggregates to the bitumen binder. This affinity is directly related to the surface energetics of the individual components. Dynamic gravimetric vapour sorption is an accurate and reliable method for the characterisation of solid powders. In the current study dispersive and specific (acid-base) contributions to the surface energy have been measured for six different mineral aggregates.
DVS Application Note 44 Determining Amorphous Contents without a Standard: Hydrate/Solvate Stoichiometry – A method to quantify low amorphous contents using DVS was developed based on the formation of a stoichiometric hydrate or solvate. If only the amorphous phase hydrates/solvates upon exposure to the appropriate vapour, then the amorphous content of a partially amorphous material can be determined. This method does not require any amorphous standards. Theophylline hydrate formation and carbamazepine-acetone solvate formation were used as examples.
DVS Application Note 45 Investigation of Desolvation Kinetics Using the DVS – The rate of solvation/desolvation for pharmaceutical solids can often affect the material's physical and chemical stability. Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) allows the fast and accurate determination of solvation/desolvation kinetics for a range of solid-vapour systems. This paper describes acetone desolvation behaviour for a 1:1 carbamazepine:aceteone solvate.
DVS Application Note 47 Determination of True Density by Dynamic Vapour Sorption – The versatility and impact of Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) for the true density measurements of solid powder materials have been investigated.

DVS Application Note 53 Moisture Sorption and Pore Collapse of Coals – Porosity is a common characteristic of many natural and man-made systems. The pores in these systems can have significant impact on the way materials behave and react to conditions in the environment. Coals are known to be porous in nature. This application note investigates the moisture sorption properties and pore collapse of different coal samples.
DVS Application Note 54 Detecting and Modelling Porosity in Natural and Engineered Materials – Many common materials and foods contain pores and pore networks. These can greatly impact material behaviour. Nature is full of examples where pores are an integral part of living organisms and inert materials. Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) analysis can be a valuable technique in detecting and characterizing porosity in these systems.
DVS Application Note 55 Measurement of Moisture Uptake Capacity in Human Hair Using Dynamic Vapor Sorption Technique – Water content is one of the most important parameters controlling the condition of skin and hair fibres. Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) analysis was used to investigate the water sorption performance of three types of human hair classified as; Asian (undamaged), Caucasian (undamaged), and bleached Caucasian (damaged) hair.
DVS Application Note 56 Measuring TEWL or Moisture Flux Across Artificial Skin – The measurement of water flux through human skin is important in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. It plays an important role in the evaluation of treatments for skin injuries and diseases. In this note we demonstrate how to measure this quantity using the DVS line of instruments and a Payne type diffusion cell.
DVS Application Note 57 Characterisation of Wheat Straw for Bio-fuel Application – One of the crucial steps of producing bio-ethanol from wheat straw is its pre-treatment which should facilitate the economic feasibility and yield efficient conversion into biofuel. This pre-treatment is expected to increase the accessible chemical sites of the straw to increase convertibility in subsequent hydrolysis and fermentation steps. Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) analysis and UV were used to assess the wheat straw pre-treatment and sugar yield, respectively.
DVS Application Note 59 Investigation of Channel Hydrate Formation and Loss Using the DVS – Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) allows the fast and accurate determination of channel hydrate formation and loss. Channel hydrates typically exhibit characteristic water sorption isotherm behaviour. This paper illustrates channel hydration/dehydration using an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).
DVS Application Note 60 Iso-activity Analysis of Phenol Crystals – An iso-activity is essentially the inverse of an isotherm. It records the equilibrium uptake at different temperatures and constant vapor concentration. A combination of Raman Spectroscopy and Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) iso-activity analysis has been used to study Phenol crystals.
DVS Application Note 61 Characterizing the Restoration Materials for Historic Buildings Using Dynamic Vapor Sorption Technique – It is important to choose the right building materials for restoration of buildings and heritage structures. Old and new materials with near identical properties, especially relating to moisture ingress and water holding capacity are desirable to avoid ominous deterioration. DVS studies on various materials have been conducted to obtain their hygroscopic behaviour which are indicative of their suitability at site.
DVS Application Note 103 Organic Solvent Sorption using a Dynamic Vapor Sorption Instrument-an Overview – Dynamic Vapour Sorption (DVS) has long been used for investigating the interaction of water vapour with solid materials. However, the versatility and impact of DVS can be greatly expanded by also studying organic vapour sorption phenomena. This overview application note summarises several examples of using organic vapours with the DVS: solvate formation, amorphous contents, BET surface areas, porosity, and surface energies.

Pulwama terror attack: 18th big terror attack under Modi government, says Cong spokesperson Surjewala
February 14, 2019 by neha
New Delhi [India]: Congress party on Thursday hit out at the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led government for not being able to restrict terrorist attacks in the country.
Addressing the media over the deadly attack in Pulwama in Jammu and Kashmir in which around 40 CRPF personnel were killed, spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said it was the 18th big terror attack in the past five years.
"We strongly condemn this cowardly attack and we extend condolences to the kin of the jawans who were martyred. This is the 18th big terror attack in the last 5 years under this Modi Govt. When will the 56-inch chest reply?" Surjewala said.
Sharpening his attack on the central government he added, "This is the next big attack after the one in Uri. We condemn the attack and pay our tributes to the security personnel who have lost their lives in the same. More than 445 personnel have lost their lives in ceasefire violation which has taken place more than 5000 times in the last five years."
A CRPF convoy on its way to Srinagar from Jammu was attacked in Awantipora area of Pulwama district on Thursday afternoon by terrorists, causing heavy casualties.
Around 2500 personnel were travelling in 78 vehicles which were part of the convoy when the incident occurred.
Meanwhile, party president Rahul Gandhi also condemned the attack. He tweeted, "I'm deeply disturbed by the cowardly attack on a #CRPF convoy in J&K in which many of our brave CRPF men have been martyred and a large number wounded, some critically. My condolences to the families of our martyrs. I pray for the speedy recovery of the injured."

Geschichte
Erstmals urkundlich erwähnt wurde das Dorf im Jahre 1283 als Sitz des Vladiken Theoderich von Dobronic. Das Gut befand sich lange Zeit im Besitz der Familie von Dobronic. 1320 wurde Michael von Dobronic erwähnt, 1337 die Brüder Staněk und Ingram von Dobronic. Michaels Witwe Katharina erwarb 1348 noch eine Freihufe in dem Dorf von den Brüdern Wenzel und Ulrich Pirkenauer. Wilhelm von Dobronic tauschte 1350 das Pfarrpatronat in Dobronice sowie eine Mühle und Zubehör bei Johann von Plenkowic gegen dessen Besitz in Plenkowitz ein, der einen Teil davon seiner Frau Krista verschrieb und den anderen dem Biharzowitzer Pfarrer Soběslaw und dessen Neffen Stephan verkaufte. Der Pfarrer trat 1360 seinen Anteil von Dobronitz an seinen Bruder Filipp und den Neffen Stephan ab. Der Sohn des Letztgenannten, Gimram von Dobronic, verkaufte 1381 seinen Freihof mit Vorwerk und Zubehör an seine Söhne; im selben Jahr erwarb Filipps Sohn, der ebenfalls Gimram hieß, einen Freihof mit zwei Gehöften von seinem Vater. Im Jahre 1398 gehörte das Dorf anteilig dem Pfarrer von Wladislau und Johann von Dobronic. Seit Beginn des 15. Jahrhunderts wechselten die Besitzer der verschiedenen Anteile oftmals; die Vladiken von Dobronic hielten seit dieser Zeit keinen Besitz mehr in dem Dorf. Im Jahre 1493 wurde Ludmilla von Ričan, die Witwe des Ludwig von Tajkowitz, auf Dobronitz intabuliert. Fünf Jahre später war das Gut Dobronitz bereits mit dem Gut Tajkowitz vereinigt. Die Feste Dobronice erlosch wahrscheinlich in dieser Zeit; wann die Pfarre einging, ist nicht bekannt. Als 1548 mit dem Tod von Jan Zajímač von Kunstadt die Linie der Zajímač von Kunstadt und Lichtenau erlosch, erfolgte der landrechtliche Verkauf des Gutes Tajkowitz an Johann von Tawikowic. Ihm folgte sein Schwiegersohn, der Protestant Georg Christoph Teuffel von Gundersdorf. Nachfolgender Grundherr war ab 1608 Georg Hoditzky von Hoditz auf Platsch. Hoditzkys Witwe Maria Anna, geborene von Náchod, verkaufte das Gut Tajkowitz mit allem Zubehör 1629 an Andreas Freiherr von Ostešow. Die Freiherren von Ostešow hielten den Besitz bis 1679, danach folgten zahlreiche Besitzerwechsel. 1738 erwarb Georg Gottfried von Koch das Gut Tavíkovice. Der Meierhof wurde 1782 aufgelöst. 1790 wurde der Besitz des überschuldeten Hofrates Gottfried von Koch versteigert, neuer Besitzer der Herrschaft Tavíkovice wurde der k.k. General Friedrich Landgraf zu Fürstenberg. 1815 erwarb die Witwe Josepha von Fürstenberg, geborene Gräfin von Žerotin, die Herrschaft von ihren Miterben.

Im Jahre 1834 bestand das im Znaimer Kreis gelegene Dorf Dobronitz bzw. Dobronice aus 47 Häusern mit 239 Einwohnern. Haupterwerbsquelle bildete die Landwirtschaft. Im Ort gab es einen herrschaftlichen Schafhof und ein Jägerhaus, an die sich am östlichen Ortsrand die ehemalige Fasanerie – ein inmitten von Feldern liegendes und von einem gemauerten Kanal und künstlichen Gängen durchschnittenes Wäldchen – an. Pfarrort war Bihařowitz, der Amtsort war Taikowitz. Bis zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts blieb Dobronitz der Allodialherrschaft Taikowitz untertänig.

Nach der Aufhebung der Patrimonialherrschaften bildete Dobronice / Dobronitz ab 1849 einen Ortsteil der Marktgemeinde Běhařovice im Gerichtsbezirk Kromau. Ab 1869 gehörte das Dorf zum Bezirk Mährisch Kromau; zu dieser Zeit hatte Dobronice 228 Einwohner und bestand aus 48 Häusern. In den 1880er Jahren löste sich Dobronice von Běhařovice los und wurde eigenständig. Im Jahre 1896 wurde die Gemeinde dem Gerichtsbezirk Hrottowitz zugeordnet. Im Jahre 1900 lebten in Dobronice 223 Personen; 1910 waren es 274. Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg zerfiel der Vielvölkerstaat Österreich-Ungarn, Dobronice wurde 1918 Teil der neu gebildeten Tschechoslowakischen Republik. Beim Zensus von 1921 lebten in den 52 Häusern der Gemeinde 279 Personen, davon 275 Tschechen. Im Jahre 1930 bestand Dobronice aus 54 Häusern und hatte 223 Einwohner. Nach der deutschen Besetzung wurde die Gemeinde 1939 in den Kreis Mährisch Budwitz umgegliedert; bis 1945 gehörte Dobronice / Dobronitz zum Protektorat Böhmen und Mähren. Nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges 1945 erfolgte die Wiederherstellung der alten Bezirksstrukturen. Im Jahre 1950 hatte Dobronice 190 Einwohner. Im Zuge der Aufhebung des Okres Moravský Krumlov wurde Dobronice 1949 dem Okres Moravské Budějovice zugeordnet. Nach dessen Auflösung kam die Gemeinde 1960 zum Okres Znojmo. 1964 erfolgte die Eingemeindung nach Tavíkovice. Beim Zensus von 2001 lebten in den 46 Häusern des Dorfes 87 Personen.
