Navigant buys European energy & sustainability consultancy Ecofys
07 November 2016 Consultancy.uk
Navigant has acquired Ecofys, a European consultancy firm specialised in energy and sustainability. Roughly 150 consultants across four countries, including the UK, will join Navigant's energy arm.
Founded in 1984, in the Netherlands, Ecofys has over the past three decades grown into one of Europe's larger consulting firms specialised in energy, with a focus on sustainability matters. Today the consultancy has a team of around 150 consultants and staff, operating from bases in the Netherlands (headquarter), Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom.
This morning Thijs Aarten, CEO and Managing Director of Ecofys, unveiled that the firm has decided to join the ranks of Navigant, with approximately 2,500 employees in 40+ offices one of the globe's largest management consulting firms. The firm is being acquired from Eneco, a Dutch energy supplier, which has owned Ecofys since 2009 when it bought the consultancy as part of a larger deal.
The addition of Ecofys enhances Navigant's capabilities and solution offerings in the energy landscape, providing the firm with, among others, additional expertise in the areas of energy policy, climate strategies and policies, energy systems, urban energy, and sustainability services.
Navigant's Energy arm already boasted a strong track record in the consulting industry – according to analyst reports released in recent years – and with the bolt-on of Ecofys the firm further advances its competitive edge in the realm, in particular in Europe. The US firm currently has offices in Birmingham and Londen, with no further presence across mainland Europe, while Ecofys has hubs in Utrecht, Berlin, Cologne and Brussels.
The addition also brings a range of accolades – Ecofys work for instance stood at the basis of the work which won the Nobel Peace Prize for contributions on the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – and large clients to Navigant's portfolio, including the World Bank, the European Commission and a range of corporates.
Commenting on the deal, Jan Vrins, Managing Director and leader of Navigant's Energy segment, says "The addition of Ecofys strengthens Navigant's energy solutions to our clients, creating robust capabilities for governments, utility companies, industry, and new entrants." Vrins, who is one of the lead partners for Navigant's support to New York's REV Connect initiative, adds: "This will better enable our clients to effectively respond to and capitalise on the global transformation within the energy sector."
Ecofys' CEO, Dutchman Thijs Aarten, believes the move represents a win-win. By integrating into a larger consulting firm, Ecofys can benefit from Navigant's global reach, and for clients, the joining of forces will lead to broader and deeper expertise in strategy and implementation, "which will enable our clients to adapt to the ongoing energy and climate transition." The energy consulting firm will for the time being continue to operate under its own brand.
Jeroen de Haas, CEO of Eneco, says he is pleased with the divestment to Navigant (financial terms have not been disclosed) and adds that he is confident that the two consulting groups will be a good match. "Ecofys has delivered value to Eneco and I am confident that with Navigant, it will continue to thrive."
Earlier this year Navigant bought Dymedex Consulting, a US-based medical consulting specialist, and Goonan Performance Strategies, another US consultancy, specialised in leadership coaching and change management consulting.

A Cup of Tea
Rosemary Fell was not exactly beautiful. No, you couldn't have called her beautiful. Pretty ? Well, if you took her to pieces . .. But why be so cruel as to take anyone to pieces ? She was young, brilliant, extremely modern, exquisitely well dressed, amazingly well read in the newest of the new books, and her parties were the most delicious mixture of the really important people and... artists—quaint creatures, discoveries of hers, some of them too terrifying for words, but others quite presentable and amusing.
Rosemary had been married two years. She had a duck of a boy. No, not Peter—Michael. And her husband absolutely adored her. They were rich, really rich, not just comfortably well off, which is odious and stuffy and sounds like one's grandparents. But if Rosemary wanted to shop she would go to Paris as you and I would go to Bond Street. If she wanted to buy flowers, the car pulled up at that perfect shop in Regent Street, and Rosemary inside the shop page 25 just gazed in her dazzled, rather exotic way, and said: " I want those and those and those. Give me four bunches of those. And that jar of roses. Yes, I'll have all the roses in the jar. No, no lilac. I hate lilac. It's got no shape." The attendant bowed and put the lilac out of sight, as though this was only too true; lilac was dreadfully shapeless. " Give me those stumpy little tulips. Those red and white ones." And she was followed to the car by a thin shopgirl staggering under an immense white paper armful that looked like a baby in long clothes...
One winter afternoon she had been buying something in a little antique shop in Curzon Street. It was a shop she liked. For one thing, one usually had it to oneself. And then the man who kept it was ridiculously fond of serving her. He beamed whenever she came in. He clasped his hands ; he was so gratified he could scarcely speak. Flattery, of course. All the same, there was something...
" You see, madam," he would explain in his low respectful tones, " I love my things. I would rather not part with them than sell them to someone who does not appreciate them, who has not that fine feeling which is so rare..." And, breathing deeply he unrolled a tiny square of blue velvet and pressed it on the glass counter with his pale finger-tips.
To-day it was a little box. He had been keeping it for her. He had shown it to nobody page 26 as yet. An exquisite little enamel box with a glaze so fine it looked as though it had been baked in cream. On the lid a minute creature stood under a flowery tree, and a more minute creature still had her arms round his neck. Her hat, really no bigger than a geranium petal, hung from a branch ; it had green ribbons. And there was a pink cloud like a watchful cherub floating above their heads. Rosemary took her hands out of her long gloves. She always took off her gloves to examine such things. Yes, she liked it very much. She loved it; it was a great duck. She must have it. And, turning the creamy box, opening and shutting it, she couldn't help noticing how charming her hands were against the blue velvet. The shopman, in some dim cavern of his mind, may have dared to think so too. For he took a pencil, leant over the counter, and his pale bloodless fingers crept timidly towards those rosy, flashing ones, as he murmured gently : " If I may venture to point out to madam, the flowers on the little lady's bodice."
" Charming! " Rosemary admired the flowers. But what was the price ? For a moment the shopman did not seem to hear. Then a murmur reached her. " Twenty-eight guineas, madam."
" Twenty-eight guineas." Rosemary gave no sign. She laid the little box down ; she buttoned her gloves again. Twenty-eight page 27 guineas. Even if one is rich... She looked vague. She stared at a plump tea-kettle like a plump hen above the shopman's head, and her voice was dreamy as she answered: " Well, keep it for me—will you ? I'll..."
But the shopman had already bowed as though keeping it for her was all any human being could ask. He would be willing, of course, to keep it for her for ever.
The discreet door shut with a click. She was outside on the step, gazing at the winter afternoon. Rain was falling, and with the rain it seemed the dark came too, spinning down like ashes. There was a cold bitter taste in the air, and the new-lighted lamps looked sad. Sad were the lights in the houses opposite. Dimly they burned as if regretting something. And people hurried by, hidden under their hateful umbrellas. Rosemary felt a strange pang. She pressed her muff against her breast; she wished she had the little box, too, to cling to. Of course, the car was there. She'd only to cross the pavement. But still she waited. There are moments, horrible moments in life, when one emerges from shelter and looks out, and it's awful. One oughtn't to give way to them. One ought to go home and have an extra-special tea. But at the very instant of thinking that, a young girl, thin, dark, shadowy—where had she come from ?—was standing at Rosemary's elbow and a voice like a sigh, almost like a sob, page 28 breathed : " Madam, may I speak to you a moment ? "
" Speak to me ? " Rosemary turned. She saw a little battered creature with enormous eyes, someone quite young, no older than herself, who clutched at her coat-collar with reddened hands, and shivered as though she had just come out of the water.
" M-madam," stammered the voice. " Would you let me have the price of a cup of tea ? "
" A cup of tea ? " There was something simple, sincere in that voice ; it wasn't in the least the voice of a beggar. " Then have you no money at all ? " asked Rosemary.
" None, madam," came the answer.
" How extraordinary ! " Rosemary peered through the dusk, and the girl gazed back at her. How more than extraordinary! And suddenly it seemed to Rosemary such an adventure. It was like something out of a novel by Dostoevsky, this meeting in the dusk. Supposing she took the girl home ? Supposing she did do one of those things she was always reading about or seeing on the stage, what would happen ? It would be thrilling. And she heard herself saying afterwards to the amazement of her friends : " I simply took her home with me," as she stepped forward and said to that dim person beside her : " Come home to tea with me."
The girl drew back startled. She even page 29 stopped shivering for a moment. Rosemary put out a hand and touched her arm. " I mean it," she said, smiling. And she felt how-simple and kind her smile was. " Why won't you ? Do. Come home with me now in my car and have tea."
" You—you don't mean it, madam," said the girl, and there was pain in her voice.
" But I do," cried Rosemary. " I want you to. To please me. Come along."
The girl put her fingers to her lips and her eyes devoured Rosemary. " You're—you're not taking me to the police station ? " she stammered.
" The police station ! " Rosemary laughed out. " Why should I be so cruel ? No, I only want to make you warm and to hear— anything you care to tell me."
Hungry people are easily led. The footman held the door of the car open, and a moment later they were skimming through the dusk.
" There ! " said Rosemary. She had a feeling of triumph as she slipped her hand through the velvet strap. She could have said, " Now I've got you," as she gazed at the little captive she had netted. But of course she meant it kindly. Oh, more than kindly. She was going to prove to this girl that—wonderful things did happen in life, that—fairy godmothers were real, that— rich people had hearts, and that women were sisters. She turned impulsively, saying: " Don't page 30 be frightened. After all, why shouldn't you come back with me ? We're both women. If I'm the more fortunate, you ought to expect..."
But happily at that moment, for she didn't know how the sentence was going to end, the car stopped. The bell was rung, the door opened, and with a charming, protecting, almost embracing movement, Rosemary drew the other into the hall. Warmth, softness, light, a sweet scent, all those things so familiar to her she never even thought about them, she watched that other receive. It was fascinating. She was like the rich little girl in her nursery with all the cupboards to open, all the boxes to unpack.
" Come, come upstairs," said Rosemary, longing to begin to be generous. " Come up to my room." And, besides, she wanted to spare this poor little thing from being stared at by the servants; she decided as they mounted the stairs she would not even ring for Jeanne, but take off her things by herself. The great thing was to be natural!
And " There ! " cried Rosemary again, as they reached her beautiful big bedroom with the curtains drawn, the fire leaping on her wonderful lacquer furniture, her gold cushions and the primrose and blue rugs.
The girl stood just inside the door ; she seemed dazed. But Rosemary didn't mind that.
" Come and sit down," she cried, dragging her big chair up to the fire, " in this comfy chair. Come and get warm. You look so dreadfully cold."
" I daren't, madam," said the girl, and she edged backwards.
" Oh, please,"—Rosemary ran forward—" you mustn't be frightened, you mustn't, really. Sit down, and when I've taken off my things we shall go into the next room and have tea and be cosy. Why are you afraid ? " And gently she half pushed the thin figure into its deep cradle.
But there was no answer. The girl stayed just as she had been put, with her hands by her sides and her mouth slightly open. To be quite sincere, she looked rather stupid. But Rosemary wouldn't acknowledge it. She leant over her, saying : " Won't you take off your hat ? Your pretty hair is all wet. And one is so much more comfortable without a hat, isn't one ? "
There was a whisper that sounded like " Very good, madam," and the crushed hat was taken off.
" And let me help you off with your coat, too," said Rosemary.
The girl stood up. But she held on to the chair with one hand and let Rosemary pull. It was quite an effort. The other scarcely helped her at all. She seemed to stagger like a child, and the thought came and went through Rosemary's mind, that if people wanted helping they must respond a little, just a little, other- page 32 wise it became very difficult indeed. And what was she to do with the coat now ? She left it on the floor, and the hat too. She was just going to take a cigarette off the mantelpiece when the girl said quickly, but so lightly and strangely : " I'm very sorry, madam, but I'm going to faint. I shall go off, madam, if I don't have something."
" Good heavens, how thoughtless I am ! " Rosemary rushed to the bell.
" Tea ! Tea at once ! And some brandy immediately ! "
The maid was gone again, but the girl almost cried out. " No, I don't want no brandy. I never drink brandy. It's a cup of tea I want, madam." And she burst into tears.
It was a terrible and fascinating moment. Rosemary knelt beside her chair.
" Don't cry, poor little thing," she said. " Don't cry." And she gave the other her lace handkerchief. She really was touched beyond words. She put her arm round those thin, bird-like shoulders.
Now at last the other forgot to be shy, forgot everything except that they were both women, and gasped out: " I can't go on no longer like this. I can't bear it. I can't bear it. I shall do away with myself. I can't bear no more."
" You shan't have to. I'll look after you. Don't cry any more. Don't you see what a good thing it was that you met me ? We'll page 33 have tea and you'll tell me everything. And I shall arrange something. I promise. Do stop crying. It's so exhausting. Please ! "
The other did stop just in time for Rosemary to get up before the tea came. She had the table placed between them. She plied the poor little creature with everything, all the sandwiches, all the bread and butter, and every time her cup was empty she filled it with tea, cream and sugar. People always said sugar was so nourishing. As for herself she didn't eat; she smoked and looked away tactfully so that the other should not be shy.
And really the effect of that slight meal was marvellous. When the tea-table was carried away a new being, a light, frail creature with tangled hair, dark lips, deep, lighted eyes, lay back in the big chair in a kind of sweet languor, looking at the blaze. Rosemary lit a fresh cigarette ; it was time to begin.
" And when did you have your last meal ? " she asked softly.
But at that moment the door-handle turned.
" Rosemary, may I come in ? " It was Philip.
" Of course."
He came in. " Oh, I'm so sorry," he said, and stopped and stared.
" It's quite all right," said Rosemary smiling. " This is my friend, Miss——"
" Smith, madam," said the languid figure, who was strangely still and unafraid.
" Smith," said Rosemary. " We are going to have a little talk."
" Oh, yes," said Philip. " Quite," and his eye caught sight of the coat and hat on the floor. He came over to the fire and turned his back to it. " It's a beastly afternoon," he said curiously, still looking at that listless figure, looking at its hands and boots, and then at Rosemary again.
" Yes, isn't it ? " said Rosemary enthusiastically. " Vile."
Philip smiled his charming smile. "As a matter of fact," said he, " I wanted you to come into the library for a moment. Would you ? Will Miss Smith excuse us ? "
The big eyes were raised to him, but Rosemary answered for her. " Of course she will." And they went out of the room together.
" I say," said Philip, when they were alone. " Explain. Who is she ? What does it all mean ?"
Rosemary, laughing, leaned against the door and said : " I picked her up in Curzon Street. Really. She's a real pick-up. She asked me for the price of a cup of tea, and I brought her home with me."
" But what on earth are you going to do with her ? " cried Philip.
" Be nice to her," said Rosemary quickly. " Be frightfully nice to her. Look after her. I don't know how. We haven't talked yet. But show her—treat her—make her feel——" page 35 " My darling girl," said Philip, " you're quite mad, you know. It simply can't be done."
" I knew you'd say that," retorted Rosemary. " Why not ? I want to. Isn't that a reason ? And besides, one's always reading about these things. I decided——"
" But," said Philip slowly, and he cut the end of a cigar, " she's so astonishingly pretty."
" Pretty ? " Rosemary was so surprised that she blushed. " Do you think so ? I—I hadn't thought about it."
" Good Lord! " Philip struck a match. " She's absolutely lovely. Look again, my child. I was bowled over when I came into your room just now. However... I think you're making a ghastly mistake. Sorry, darling, if I'm crude and all that. But let me know if Miss Smith is going to dine with us in time for me to look up The Milliner's Gazette."
" You absurd creature ! " said Rosemary, and she went out of the library, but not back to her bedroom. She went to her writing-room and sat down at her desk. Pretty ! Absolutely lovely ! Bowled over ! Her heart beat like a. heavy bell. Pretty ! Lovely ! She drew her cheque-book towards her. But no, cheques would be no use, of course. She opened a drawer and took out five pound notes, looked at them, put two back, and holding the three squeezed in her hand, she went back to her bedroom.
Half an hour later Philip was still in the library, when Rosemary came in.
" I only wanted to tell you," said she, and she leaned against the door again and looked at him with her dazzled exotic gaze, " Miss Smith won't dine with us to-night."
Philip put down the paper. " Oh, what's happened ? Previous engagement ? "
Rosemary came over and sat down on his knee. " She insisted on going," said she, " so I gave the poor little thing a present of money. I couldn't keep her against her will, could I ? " she added softly.
Rosemary had just done her hair, darkened her eyes a little, and put on her pearls. She put up her hands and touched Philip's cheeks.
" Do you like me ? " said she, and her tone, sweet, husky, troubled him.
" I like you awfully," he said, and he held her tighter. " Kiss me."
Then Rosemary said dreamily. " I saw a fascinating little box to-day. It cost twenty-eight guineas. May I have it ? "
Philip jumped her on his knee. " You may, little wasteful one," said he.
But that was not really what Rosemary wanted to say.
" Philip," she whispered, and she pressed his head against her bosom, " am I pretty ? "

Q: How to work with inconsistent PHP rounding? When a float becomes long enough PHP seems to have trouble giving back the correct rounded number. Is there an alternate way of rounding to give back the expected number?
echo round(104045.7549999995, 2) // yields: 104045.76 wrong
echo round(104045.754999995, 2) // yields: 104045.75

Comparing that to JS, we get the expected correct values every time:
Math.round(104045.7549999995*100)/100; // yields: 104045.75
Math.round(104045.754999995*100)/100; // yields: 104045.75

It looks like PHP only looks ahead X number of decimals places.
Edit: I have now tested in Postgres as well:
select round(104045.7549999995, 2); // yields: 104045.75
select round(104045.754999995, 2); // yields: 104045.75

A: If you need infinite precision this won't help, but if you "just need a couple more decimal places" then read on.
Import your numbers as strings.  We already know that PHP can't handle the precision you need in its float type.  The part before the decimal can be stored in an INT and the part after the decimal can go into a FLOAT, but because the number is much smaller you get more precision in your decimal places.
$x = "104045.754999999999995";  // this is approx the precision limit, any more 9s and we get .76

$parts = explode(".", $x);
$i = intval($parts[0]);
$f = floatval("0." . $parts[1]);

$broken = $i + $f; // $broken will have the original problem, it needs to round off $f a bit to store it

$rounded = $i + round($f, 2);  // after we round off $f there is enough precision in $rounded to easily store the entire number

echo $rounded;

AFI FEST 2022: Oscar Submissions – American Film Institute
AFI FEST 2022: Oscar Submissions
Nominations for the Academy Award® for Best International Feature Film are of global importance. These AFI FEST 2022 films are the cream of the crop, not only in their country of origin, but in the year of cinema as a whole.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Teaching Tier 2 and 3 auto suppliers the principles of lean manufacturing and helping them practice it present an opportunity for Delphi Corp. and other top tier suppliers, said Dave Nelson, head of global purchasing for Delphi.
"I think extending the lean enterprise is critical to staying in business today," Nelson said at the Automotive News Manufacturing Conference. "What Toyota and Honda have as a global strength is success in working with their supply base."
Nelson studied the Japanese auto supplier and manufacturing system from the inside, working for Honda of America Manufacturing Inc. for 10 years as a senior purchasing executive.
At age 65, Nelson knows that many of his peers prefer retirement. But he said he liked the challenge of bringing lean manufacturing to the world's largest auto supplier, which he termed a five-year project. Nelson would not say when he intends to retire but said he expects to be at Delphi until he is close to 70: "I want to see this thing through."
Bringing lean manufacturing to smaller suppliers is not a way to squeeze them for price cuts, Nelson said. By working with suppliers to find ways to reduce costs, Delphi can become a supplier's most profitable customer, he added.
For Delphi, lean manufacturing is the means for cutting into the $14 billion it spends annually on buying goods from its suppliers. Delphi is trying to trim the number of suppliers of direct materials from about 7,000 today to about 1,000 by 2008.
A key first step is getting Delphi's suppliers to accept that Delphi wants to help them. "We haven't always treated suppliers with the respect they like in the past," Nelson said.
But once a supplier gets past the initial resistance, the training delivers results. Nelson cited a project with a supplier plant in Ohio in which a lean workshop eliminated a safety hazard and reduced the operation by half a shift.
"You can know everything you need to know about cutting waste," Nelson said, "but it won't do any good if you can't convince others to go along."
While he declined to tell the Big 3 how to run their purchasing operations, Nelson said: "Toyota, Honda and Nissan do purchasing the best. I think that's an important strategy that Delphi must use to be a strong company."

Democrats Call Oil Giants to Testify on Climate Campaign
Next month, many executives are being called upon at a House hearing to investigate into the industry-wide campaign to spread disinformation about the role of fossil fuels and global warming

Congressional Democrats are calling top executives at ExxonMobil and other oil giants to testify at a House hearing as lawmakers investigate what they say is a long-running, industry-wide campaign to spread disinformation about the role of fossil fuels in causing global warming.
The House Oversight Committee on Thursday requested that executives at ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron and Shell testify at a hearing next month, along with leaders of the American Petroleum Institute, the oil industry's top lobbying group, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

"We are deeply concerned that the fossil fuel industry has reaped massive profits for decades while contributing to climate change that is devastating American communities, costing taxpayers billions of dollars and ravaging the natural world," Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., and Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., wrote in a letter to oil executives.

"We are also concerned that to protect those profits, the industry has reportedly led a coordinated effort to spread disinformation to mislead the public and prevent crucial action to address climate change," they wrote. Khanna, chairman of Oversight's environment subcommittee, has been pressing the oil industry for months for documents and other information on its role in stopping climate action.
Khanna has been focusing on Exxon after a senior lobbyist for the company was caught in a secret video bragging that Exxon had fought climate science through "shadow groups" and had targeted influential senators in an effort to weaken President Joe Biden's climate agenda, including a bipartisan infrastructure bill and a massive $3.5 trillion spending bill currently moving through Congress.
Washington-based lobbyist Keith McCoy also dismissed Exxon's public expressions of support for a proposed carbon tax on fossil fuel emissions as a "talking point."
McCoy's comments were made public in June by the environmental group Greenpeace UK, which secretly recorded McCoy and another lobbyist in Zoom interviews.
Darren Woods, Exxon's chairman and chief executive, condemned McCoy's statements and said the company stands by its commitment to work on finding solutions to climate change.
Woods is among the executives the House panel hopes to question at an Oct. 28 hearing, along with BP America CEO David Lawler, Chevron CEO Michael Wirth and Shell president Gretchen Watkins.
The committee also has said it will formally question McCoy about his comments, although timing of that interview has not been set.
Maloney and Khanna said in a statement that ExxonMobil and other oil companies "have worked to prevent serious action on global warming by generating doubt about the documented dangers of fossil fuels and misrepresenting the scale of their efforts to develop alternative energy technologies.'' They compared the tactics to those deployed by the tobacco industry to resist regulation "while selling products that kill hundreds of thousands of Americans.''
The oil industry's "strategies of obfuscation and distraction span decades and still continue today,'' Khanna and Maloney said. The five largest publicly traded oil and gas companies reportedly spent at least $1 billion from 2015 to 2018 "to promote climate disinformation through 'branding and lobbying,' " the lawmakers wrote.
The committee gave oil executives until Sept. 23 to respond and said additional steps, including issuing subpoenas, are possible.
A spokesman for Exxon said the company had received the letter and would respond to the committee. He declined further comment.
Bethany Aronhalt, a spokeswoman for API, said the group "welcomes the opportunity to testify again before the House Oversight Committee and advance our priorities of pricing carbon, regulating methane and reliably producing American energy." API President Mike Sommers was among those invited to testify next month.
Exxon and other oil companies frequently boast about efforts they say they are making to produce clean energy in social media posts accompanied by sleek videos or pictures of wind turbines.
"We power progress together by providing more and cleaner energy solutions for the world," says Shell's Facebook profile, which is followed by more than 9 million people.

Who has previously been selected with the 29th Selection in the NFL Draft
The NFL draft kicks off this Thursday at 7 pm with the first round. The Packers currently hold the 29th pick in the first round. With everyone wondering who the Packers are going to select, I wanted to look at who they selected when they held the 29th pick and you was picked the past few years in that spot.
Past 5 years 29th selections:
2020 – Tennessee Titans select OT Isaiah Wilson
2019 – Seattle Seahawks select DE L.J. Collier
2018 – Jacksonville Jaguars select DT Taven Bryan
2017 – The Green Bay Packers held the 29th selection. They traded the selection to Cleveland in exchange for the second and forth round selections (33rd and 108th). The Cleveland Browns then selected TE David Njoku with the 29th selection. The very next pick the Pittsburgh Steelers selected T.J. Watt from Wisconsin.
2016 – Arizona Cardinals select DT Robert Nkemdiche
As we can see already, the Packers recently held the 29th selection in the 2017 NFL draft. They traded back and selected Kevin King with the 33rd pick in the second round that year. Much has been talked about that draft as the very next selection was T.J. Watt, which a lot of Packers were hoping the team would select. There is a good chance that General Manager Brian Gutekunst will trade back this year as well.
The Packers made two selections in the 29th spot since 1992. Those two selections actually turned out to be impact players for them, George Teague and Nick Barnett.
In the 1993 NFL Draft, then general manager Ron Wolf snagged the playmaking safety that he was looking. The Packers had already selected in the first round at number 15 where they selected linebacker Wayne Simmons. Wolf than had to move back into the first round. He traded two second round picks, a fourth round pick and at that time an eighth rounder to Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys for the 29th selection in the first round and a fourth rounder. With the 29th selection, he picked safety George Teague from Alabama.
It turned out to be a great decision by Wolf as George Teague turned out to be playmaking safety the Packers needed. Teague became a starter the fourth game that season and earned NFL All-Rookie team honors.
In 1994 Teague has three interceptions and he had two during the 1995 season. Teague ended up only playing three seasons with the Packers, as he was traded before the season in 1996 to the Atlanta Falcons for fellow safety Eugene Robinson.
The Packers most recent selection in the 29th spot occurred during the 2003 NFL Draft. At the time, the Packers head coach and general manager was Mike Sherman. He selected LB Nick Barnett with the teams first selection at 29.
What can we say about Nick Barnett that hasn't already been said. He played 8 seasons with the Packers and earned All-Rookie Honors in 2003 and All-Pro Honors in 2007. He was the anchor of the Packers defense during his tenure with the team.
Barnett still holds several franchise records such as most total tackles in a single season with 194 in 2005, most seasons leading the team in tackles, and most consecutive seasons leading the team in tackles. He also ranks third in the franchise's history leading tackler list with 1,014. A pretty impressive tenure with the Green and Gold. This selection in the 29th spot turned out pretty well.
So, when the Packers did select at 29, things seemed to work out well for them whether it was for a short period of time or a longer tenure. Its a limited history at the 29th spot, but if we follow these two selections, then it could turn out well. The question remains, will the Packers stay at 29 or trade up or back? We are a few days away from learning what General Manager Brian Gutekunst will do.

OKLAHOMA CITY - Police are looking for clues after a man's body was found shot to death overnight.
Officials responded to reports of shots fired just after midnight. According to police, one male was found shot to death in the street near N. McKinley Ave. and NW 83rd St. That victim has now been identified as 30-year-old Andre Winslett.
Residents said they heard several shots fired but weren't able to see anything. When they went outside to see what happened, they discovered Winslett's body.
No suspects have been arrested and there is no suspect description at this time.


Ahhh... the ebb and flow of being a partial season ticket holder. Owning tickets to approximately 40 Oakland A's games through the season means periods where we won't visit the Coliseum to catch a game for the better part of two weeks, followed by spurts where we are seemingly there every evening. And if I tack on any extra games with friends of coworkers, it just gets that much more crazy. This weekend, if correctly executed, I could be cheering on the A's run in the division race every day from Friday through Monday.
The baseball fun continues with a 6:05 game this evening with a friend from Athletics Nation, a 1:05 game Sunday on Father's Day, and in a special treat, a group of us from the office will be back to the Coliseum on Monday night to see the A's take on the Cincinnati Reds, making it four games in four days.
Some have asked me if it ever gets boring or repetitive to see the same players at the same place from the same seats, day after day. The answer is clearly, no. While as a fan, I can get frustrated by seeing the same storylines, such as the A's not scoring enough runs or misusing the bullpen, the truth is that every game is different, and every game starts with the slate clear, and both teams have a chance to win. Even if the A's fall behind, I know that we could be on the verge of seeing a late-inning comeback or a tragic heartbreaker. I've seen both, and it's all part of being a fan.
Starting at 6 tonight, you can find us in our usual seats: Section 114, Row 28, Seats 5 and 6. Go A's!

Джордж Гренвилл Сазерленд-Левесон-Гоуэр, 2-й герцог Сазерленд (; 8 августа 1786 — 27 февраля 1861) — британский аристократ, пэр и политик из семьи Левесон-Гоуэр. Он именовался виконтом Трентамом с 1786 по 1803 год, графом Гоуэр с 1803 по 1833 год, маркизом Стаффордом в 1833 году.

Титулатура
5-й барон Гоуэр из Ститтенхема, Йоркшир (с 25 ноября 1826 года), 2-й герцог Сазерленд (с 19 июля 1833), 4-й виконт Трентам из Трентама, Стаффордшир (с 19 июля 1833), 4-й граф Гоуэр (с 19 июля 1833), 3-й маркиз Стаффорд (с 19 июля 1833), 9-й баронет Гоуэр (с 19 июля 1833), 20-й граф Сазерленд (с 29 января 1839 года).

Ранняя жизнь
Сазерленд-Левесон-Гоуэр родился в Портленд-Плейс, Лондон, 8 августа 1786 года. Его крестили в приходской церкви Сент-Марилебон. Старший сын Джорджа Левесона-Гоуэра, 1-го герцога Сазерленда (1758—1803), и его жены Элизабет Сазерленд, графини Сазерленд (1765—1839).

С 1798 по 1803 год Джордж Гренвилл Сазерленд учился в школе Харроу, затем поступил в Крайст-черч (Оксфордский университет), где получил степень бакалавра в 1806 году и степень магистра в 1810 году. В 1841 году он получил степень доктора философии в том же университете.

В 1806—1808 годах граф Гоуэр путешествовал по Пруссии и России. Во время прусской кампании против французских войск Наполеона он провел некоторое время в генеральном штабе пруссаков.

Карьера
Вернувшись из Европы, граф Гоэр в 1808 году вступил в Палату общин Великобритании в качестве члена парламента от корнуоллского гнилого района Сент-Моуз (1808—1812). В 1812 году был избран в Палату общин от стаффордширского округа Ньюкасл-андер-Лайм (1812—1815), в 1815 году когда он стал одним из депутатов от графства Стаффордшир (1815—1820).

Он также был лордом-лейтенантом графства Сазерленд в 1831—1861 годах, был назначен верховным управляющим графства Стаффорд в 1833 году и был лордом-лейтенантом Шропшира с 1839 по 1845 год. В 1841 году он был назначен кавалером Ордена Подвязки.

Крикет
Герцог Сазерленд был активным первоклассным игроком в крикет в 1816 году, когда он играл за Марилебонский крикетный клуб и команду, организованную Эдвардом Хейвордом Баддом, в общей сложности в трех матчах.

Пэр
Его отец Джордж Гренвилл Левесон-Гоуэр скончался в 1833 году, всего через шесть месяцев после того, как король Великобритании Вильгельм IV провозгласил его герцогом Сазерлендским за поддержку Закона о реформе 1832 года, и поэтому этот новый титул перешел к его старшему сыну. Его мать Элизабет Гордон, которая была 19-й графиней Сазерленд в своем собственном праве, умерла в 1839 году, и поэтому её древний шотландский титул перешел к Джорджу, который также стал 20-м графом Сазерлендом. В результате эти два титула были объединены в одном лице до 1963 года. Именно 2-й герцог Сазерленд принял дополнительную фамилию Сазерленд, так что его фамилия стала Сазерленд-Левесон-Гауэр.

Личная жизнь

28 мая 1823 года Джордж Сазерленд женился на леди Гарриет Элизабет Джорджиане Говард (21 мая 1806 — 27 октября 1868). Леди Гарриет была дочерью Джорджа Говарда, 6-го графа Карлайла, и леди Джорджианы Кавендиш, дочери знаменитой Джорджианы, герцогини Девонширской. У супругов было одиннадцать детей, семи дочерей и четырёх сыновей:

 Леди Элизабет Джорджиана Сазерленд-Левесон-Гоуэр (30 марта 1824 — 25 мая 1878), которая в 1844 году вышла замуж за Джорджа Дугласа Кэмпбелла, 8-го герцога Аргайла
 Леди Эвелин Сазерленд-Левесон-Гоуэр (8 августа 1825 — 24 ноября 1869), которая вышла замуж в 1843 году за Чарльза Стюарта, 12-го лорда Блантайра.
 Леди Каролина Сазерленд-Левесон-Гоуэр (15 апреля 1827 — 13 мая 1887), которая вышла замуж в 1847 году за Чарльза Фицджеральда, 4-го герцога Лейнстера
 Джордж Сазерленд-Левесон-Гоуэр, 3-й герцог Сазерленд (19 декабря 1828 — 22 сентября 1892), женившийся на Энн Хей-Маккензи.
 Леди Бланш Джулия Сазерленд-Левесон-Гоуэр (1830—1832), умершая в младенчестве.
 Лорд Фредерик Джордж Сазерленд-Левесон-Гоуэр (11 ноября 1832 — 6 октября 1854), умерший холостым.
 Леди Констанс Гертруда Сазерленд-Левесон-Гоуэр (16 июня 1834 — 19 декабря 1880), которая вышла замуж за Хью Гровенора, 1-го герцога Вестминстерского
 Леди Виктория Сазерленд-Левесон-Гоуэр (1838—1839), умершая в младенчестве.
 Лорд Альберт Сазерленд-Левесон-Гоуэр (21 ноября 1843 — 23 декабря 1874), который женился в 1872 году на Грейс Абди, дочери сэра Томаса Невилла Абди, 1-го баронета (1810—1877).
 Лорд Рональд Чарльз Сазерленд-Левесон-Гоуэр (2 августа 1845 — 9 марта 1916), умерший холостым.
 Леди Александрина Сазерленд-Левесон-Гоуэр (1848—1849), умершая в младенчестве.

Он был увлеченным коллекционером книг и одним из основателей Роксбургского клуба в 1812 году. Он был попечителем Национальной галереи с 1835 года и Британского музея с 1841 года до своей смерти, а также назначен комиссаром по изобразительным искусствам в 1841 году.

Герцог Сазерленд умер в возрасте 75 лет в Трентам-Холле в Стаффордшире, одном из своих английских особняков, после продолжительной болезни.

Строительные проекты
Сазерленд был частично глухим и поэтому решил не играть очень активной роли в политике, которая была дорогой, хорошо проторённой его современными сверстниками. Вместо этого он тратил свою энергию, тратя часть своего огромного богатства, которое он унаследовал от своего отца, на улучшение своих домов. В 1845 году он нанял сэра Чарльза Бэрри, чтобы сделать обширные изменения в замке Данробин. Барри превратил это место в 189-комнатный герцогский дворец, который мы видим сегодня. В дополнение к Данробину герцог также приказал Барри полностью перестроить свою стаффордширскую резиденцию Трентам-холл, Кливден-хаус в Бакингемшире и фамильный особняк в Лондоне, Стаффорд-хаус, который был самым ценным частным домом во всем Лондоне.

Потомки
Очень большая часть современной английской аристократии происходит от 2-го герцога Сазерленда. Благодаря бракам своих дочерей он является предком нынешних герцогов Гамильтон и Брендон, Аргайл, Роксбург, Нортумберленд, Лейнстер и Вестминстер, нынешних маркизов Хартфорд и Лондондерри, нынешних графов Селкирк, Личфилд и Кромарти, нынешнего виконта Дилхорн и многих других. Его мужская линия вымерла после смерти его правнука, 5-го герцога Сазерленда в 1963 году, и титул перешел к Джону Эгертону, потомку брата 2-го герцога Фрэнсиса, который не был потомком 2-го герцога (хотя его жена Диана была потомком). Нынешняя графиня Сазерленд — прямой потомок 2-го герцога Сазерленда. Он также был предком покойной герцогини Бофор, но не нынешнего герцога Бофора. Другие известные потомки включают натуралиста Гэвина Максвелла и шпионку Элизу Мэннингем-Буллер.

The Island is still clean but nothing special to see. The sand is nice and the water clear but the coralls and the sorrounding fish are well just OK.
During our travel to the southern thai islands this was the best trip we took. The snorkeling here is amazing, the corals and underwater life is beautiful. The sand is white which makes the sea and beach exactly the same as on the photos you see of Koh Rok. Of course the weather mist be sunny to get the same experience.

SBOTE Study: extracorporeal shock wave therapy versus electrical stimulation after botulinum toxin type A injection for post-stroke spasticity: a prospective randomized trial..
Research is on-going to identify new methods of biostimulation to increase the effect of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) in the treatment of spasticity. The Spasticity treated by Botulinum Toxin and ESWT (SBOTE) study is a prospective, randomized controlled trial assessing the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) given immediately after BTX-A injections compared with electrical stimulation (ES) given immediately after BTX-A therapy for the management of focal upper limb spasticity in stroke patients. ES was given for 30 min twice a day for 5 days starting at 5 Hz; ESWT was given once a day for 5 days. At study follow-up, patients treated with BTX-A injections and ESWT showed a statistically greater significance and continuous decrease of spasticity measure (modified Ashworth scale [MAS]: 1.37, 1.75 and 1.58 at 15, 30 and 90 days post-treatment, respectively), of spasms (spasm frequency scale [SFS]: 0.8 and 0.25 at 30 and 90 days post-treatment, respectively) and of pain (visual analogue scale [VAS]: 1.94 and 1.87 at 30 and 90 days, respectively) compared with patients treated with BTX-A injections and ES (MAS: 2.37, 2.18 and 2.18, respectively) (p < 0.05) (SFS: 1.5 and 1.06, respectively) (p < 0.05) (VAS: 2.44 and 2.69 respectively) (p < 0.05). ESWT enhances the effect of BTX-A to a greater extent than ES, probably by modulating rheology of the muscle and neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction.

Abstract: Research is on-going to identify new methods of biostimulation to increase the effect of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) in the treatment of spasticity. The Spasticity treated by Botulinum Toxin and ESWT (SBOTE) study is a prospective, randomized controlled trial assessing the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) given immediately after BTX-A injections compared with electrical stimulation (ES) given immediately after BTX-A therapy for the management of focal upper limb spasticity in stroke patients. ES was given for 30 min twice a day for 5 days starting at 5 Hz; ESWT was given once a day for 5 days. At study follow-up, patients treated with BTX-A injections and ESWT showed a statistically greater significance and continuous decrease of spasticity measure (modified Ashworth scale [MAS]: 1.37, 1.75 and 1.58 at 15, 30 and 90 days post-treatment, respectively), of spasms (spasm frequency scale [SFS]: 0.8 and 0.25 at 30 and 90 days post-treatment, respectively) and of pain (visual analogue scale [VAS]: 1.94 and 1.87 at 30 and 90 days, respectively) compared with patients treated with BTX-A injections and ES (MAS: 2.37, 2.18 and 2.18, respectively) (p < 0.05) (SFS: 1.5 and 1.06, respectively) (p < 0.05) (VAS: 2.44 and 2.69 respectively) (p < 0.05). ESWT enhances the effect of BTX-A to a greater extent than ES, probably by modulating rheology of the muscle and neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction.

NDTV Food Desk | Updated: June 26, 2019 15:38 IST
Arjun Kapoor turns 34 today
Arjun Kapoor had undergone massive weight loss transformation
Arjun Kapoor follows a low-carb diet
Arjun Kapoor is celebrating his 34th birthday today and the 'Panipat' star has been setting Instagram on fire lately with pictures of his sculpted physique. The actor is one of the several A-listers who are going to make the cast of Panipat. The film, which is going to be released in 2019, also stars Kriti Sanon, Sanjay Dutt, Zeenat Aman and Padmini Kolhapure. In the film, Kapoor plays the role of Sadashiv Rao Bhau, the nephew of Peshwa Bajirao. The film is being directed by Ashutosh Gowariker and is one of the most eagerly-awaited films of the year. To bulk up for the film, Arjun Kapoor has been working with fitness trainer Dheepesh Bhatt since January 2019 and by the looks of it, he has undergone a stupendous transformation. He recently also started a conversation about fitness and body image issues, by posting about his fight against obesity in an Instagram post.
Arjun Kapoor has been quite candid about his fitness journey. The actor used to be quite heavy before he started working as an actor and his almost-miraculous transformation has always been in the public domain.

Here Are Some Fitness And Diet Lessons From Arjun Kapoor That You Can Steal:
1. Low-Carb Diet: Arjun Kapoor revealed in an interview that he tries to follow a low-carb diet, as he tends go overboard and starts bingeing on them. The amount of carbohydrates that you include in your diet depends on your body goals and weight loss goals, but the general rule of thumb that many health experts also ask people to follow, is that processed carbs must be shunned and whole grains or complex carbs must be included in specific quantities.

2. Good Carbs for weight management: Arjun Kapoor says that he only consumed whole grains and good carbs like oats and quinoa. Both these have been known to be rich in fibre and protein, which are both important nutrients, particularly for people wanting to shed kilos or maintain a healthy weight.
3. Eat Clean, Home-Cooked Food: Arjun Kapoor says that he tries to 'eat clean' and avoids eating out as much as is possible. Home-cooked food is generally healthier, as one can control the quality of ingredients that goes into the meals.
A post shared by Arjun Kapoor (@arjunkapoor) on Feb 22, 2019 at 12:04am PST
4. Healthy Desserts: Kapoor also revealed that he has an intense sweet tooth, but that he tries and keep his sugar consumption to a minimum. He said that he eats more protein-rich and healthy treats if he has to.
5. Supplements: Arjun Kapoor had revealed in an interview that he makes sure to take his dietary supplements, including whey protein, casein protein, fish oil tablets and BCAA (branched-chain amino acids). He said that he consumes whey after working out and casein before he goes to bed at night. He said that your dietary supplement-intake depends on what kind of body you aspire to achieve.
One of the most important fitness lessons that you can learn from Arjun Kapoor is perseverance. Well, we wish the actor a happy birthday and hope he continues to inspire and entertain.

Botany is a very old branch of science that began with early people's interest in the plants around them. Plant science now extends from that interest to cutting-edge biotechnology. Any topic dealing with plants, from the level of their cellular biology to the level of their economic production, is considered part of the field of botany.
History and Subdisciplines
The origins of this branch of biology are rooted in human beings' attempts to improve their lot by raising better food crops around 5000 b.c.e. This practical effort developed into intellectual curiosity about plants in general, and the science of botany was born.
Some of the earliest botanical records are included with the writings of Greek philosophers, who were often physicians and who used plant materials as curative agents. In the second century b.c.e. Aristotle had a botanical garden and an associated library.
Label: history of plant science, plant science
The family Bromeliaceae comprises a group of perennial, monocotyledon herbs or trees that often age slowly.
Important ornamentals (called bromeliads) as well as sources of food and medicines, Bromeliaceae have substantial economic value and are widely cultivated. The colors of the leaves offer decorative foliage, and the flowers are of astonishing hues due to the rich content of pigment-forming substances known as anthocyanins.
Based on ovary position, habit, and floral and pollen morphology, the family Bromeliaceae has been split into three subfamilies: subfamily Pitcairnioideae, subfamily Tillandsioideae, and subfamily Bromelioideae.
Label: angiosperms, Economic botany and plant uses, plantae, taxonomic groups
Brown Algae
Seaweeds that are brown to olive-green in color belong to the phylum Phaeophyta, or brown algae, which includes between fifteen hundred and two thousand species.
Brown algae (phylum Phaeophyta) are familiar to most people as brown or dark green seaweeds. Some brown algae are microscopic in size, but many are relatively large: One giant kelp measured 710 feet in length. All brown algae are multicellular.
Appearance and Distribution
Brown algae have a body, called a thallus, which is a fairly simple, undifferentiated structure. Some thalli consist of simple branched filaments. Some brown algae have more complex structures called pseudoparenchyma because they superficially resemble the more complex tissues of higher plants.
Label: algae, protista, taxonomic groups, water-related life
Bryophytes comprise three phyla of nonvascular plants, which generally lack the specialized conductive tissues (xylem and phloem) that are found in the vascular plants, are small in size, and are distributed worldwide in moist, shady habitats.
Bryophytes (from the Greek word bryon, meaning "moss") were once grouped together into one large phylum. Many botanists today recognize that these organisms belong to at least three distinct phyla: phylum Hepatophyta (the liverworts), phylum Anthocerophyta (the hornworts), and phylum Bryophyta (the mosses).
Origin and Relationships
Bryophytes are thought to have originated more than 430 million years ago, during the Silurian period. Many botanists speculate that bryophytes arose from an ancestor in the green algal order Charales or Coleochaetales based on biochemical, morphological, and life history comparisons.
Label: nonvascular plants, paleobotany, plantae, taxonomic groups
Bulbs and Rhizomes
Bulbs and rhizomes are modified stems, stem bases, or other underground organs used by plants for food (or energy) storage and in asexual reproduction.
Plants reproduce both sexually and asexually. Although sexual reproduction is part of the typical life cycle of plants, for a variety of reasons a plant may reproduce asexually. Exact duplicates of a plant, called clones, are formed by asexual reproduction.
Asexual Reproduction
Asexual reproduction involves the production of offspring through the formation of propagules by mitosis (the process of nuclear cell division). Because genetic recombination does not occur in mitosis, the offspring are genetically identical to the parent plant.
Asexual reproduction does not occur in all plants; some reproduce asexually only when humans intervene. Asexual reproduction occurs when a single plant produces a vegetative propagule that develops into a separate free-living plant. Many of the propagules that support asexual reproduction are actually highly modified branches. Others are modified roots.
Label: anatomy, physiology, reproduction and life cycles
C4 and CAM Photosynthesis
Alternative forms of photosynthesis are used by specific types of plants, called C4 and CAM plants, to alleviate problems of photorespiration and excess water loss.
Photosynthesis is the physiological process whereby plants use the sun's radiant energy to produce organic molecules. The backbone of all such organic compounds is a skeleton composed of carbon atoms. Plants use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as their carbon source.
The overwhelming majority of plants use a single chemical reaction to attach carbon dioxide from the atmosphere onto an organic compound, a process referred to as carbon fixation. This process takes place inside specialized structures within the cells of green plants known as chloroplasts.
Wild cacti
Succulents are fleshy plants that store water in natural reservoirs such as stems or leaves. Cacti are a group of flowering plants; all cacti are succulents.
The Cactaceae family includes about 1,650 to 3,500 species of cacti and succulents classified in 130 genera. Because they live in harsh, arid environments, these fleshy, spiny perennial plants have developed a variety of unique characteristics for protection and to retain water, reduce evaporation, and resist heat.
The word "succulent" is derived from the Latin term sucus, meaning sap. All cacti are succulents. The word "cactus" is derived from the Greek term kaktos, describing thistles. Botanists estimate cacti first existed during the Mesozoic era, about 130 million years ago. Limited cacti fossil evidence exists (the earliest known specimen is about forty thousand years old).
Label: angiosperms, plantae
Calvin cycle
The Calvin cycle is the principal mechanism that leads to the conversion of carbon dioxide into sugars by plants, algae, photosynthetic bacteria, and certain other bacteria that use chemicals as an energy source instead of light.
The Calvin cycle, also known as the Calvin Benson cycle, is an integral part of the process of photosynthesis in plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria. Named after its discoverer, Melvin Calvin of the University of California at Berkeley, its principal product is a three-carbon compound called glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, or PGAL. Sugars are synthesized using PGAL as a starting material.
Light, absorbed by chlorophyll, is used to synthesize the high-energy compounds adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). Chlorophyll and the enzymes that are used for synthesis of ATP and NADPH are associated with internal membranes in all photosynthetic cells.
The ATP and NADPH, once formed, are released from the membrane-bound enzymes and diffuse into the surrounding solution inside the cell. The Calvin cycle takes place in this solution, using the ATP and NADPH molecules as a source of energy to drive the conversion of carbon dioxide into PGAL.

Common organic chemicals found in all living organisms, important in energy metabolism and structural polymers, carbohydrate molecules are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules in a 1:2:1 ratio, respectively. This is often simplified using the formula nCH2O, where n represents the number of CH2O subunits in a carbohydrate. This formula should make it clear how the name carbohydrate was derived, as nCH2O is essentially carbon and water.
The simplest carbohydrates are the monosaccharides, or simple sugars. Individual monosaccharides can be joined together to make disaccharides (composed of two monosaccharides), oligosaccharides (short polymers composed of two to several monosaccharides), and polysaccharides (longer polymers composed of numerous monosaccharides).
Label: cellular biology, nutrients and nutrition
The carbon cycle is the movement of the element carbon through the earth's rock and sediment, the aquatic environment, land environments, and the atmosphere. Large amounts of organic carbon can be found in both living organisms and dead organic material.
An enormous reservoir of carbon, on the order of 20 x 1015 tons, may be found on the surface of the earth. Most of this reservoir is found in rock and sediment. The carbon cycle therefore represents the movement of this element through the biosphere in a process mediated by photosynthetic plants on land and in the sea.
The process involves the fixation of carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic molecules, a process called photosynthesis. Energy used in the process is stored in chemical form, such as that in carbohydrates (sugars such as glucose). The organic material is eventually oxidized, as occurs when a photosynthetic organism dies.

Caribbean Agriculture
Agriculture in the Caribbean islands, from the Bahamas to Trinidad, is concentrated in sugarcane, bananas, coffee, tobacco, and some citrus and cacao.
The Caribbean Sea is an extension of the western Atlantic Ocean that is bounded by Central and South America to the west and south and the islands of the Antilles chain on the north and east. At the end of the twentieth century, agriculture was basic to the economies of nearly every island.
Two fundamentally different types of agriculture dominate: large-scale commercial, or plantation, agriculture and small-scale semisubsistence, or peasant, farming. Plantation farming provides the most exports, by value, whereas peasant farming involves far more human labor.
Caribbean agriculture operates under various natural and cultural restraints. Most of the islands have rugged terrain, restricting productive agriculture to river valleys and coastal plains. Typically, less than one-third of an island's land area is suitable for crops.
Label: agriculture, Economic botany and plant uses, food, world regions
Caribbean Flora
The Caribbean region is noted for its diverse and varied vegetation. Flowers thrive in the moist, tropical environment found on many islands. Hibiscus, bougainvillea, and orchids are just a few of the varieties found there. The heavily touristed region faces challenges in balancing development with preserving its flora.
The Caribbean region comprises the islands from the Bahamas to Trinidad and is noted for its tropical vegetation and flowers. This region has been significantly affected by human activities.
Deforestation began with the development of sugarcane culture in the seventeenth century. When forests are cut for farmland, soil erosion and depletion often occur. Jamaica, Haiti, and many of the smaller islands have suffered acute ecological degradation.
Label: world regions
In plants, as in all eukaryotic life-forms, the cell cycle comprises the processes of cell division, constituted by three preparatory phases (G , G , and S), followed by mitosis (nuclear division) and cytokinesis (cytoplasm division).
One of the fundamental characteristics of living organisms is their ability to grow and reproduce. At the cellular level, growth is accomplished by a gain of mass, followed by division into two daughter cells.
In unicellular species, such as bacteria and green algae, this division results in the production of new organisms. In multicellular organisms, such as plants, cells must divide many times to produce new individuals, and additional processes of differentiation into mature cell types must occur.
Label: cellular biology, physiology
Cell Theory
The notion that the cell is the smallest division of life and its attendant principles have been developed over the past three centuries and are collectively known as the cell theory.
Before the invention of the microscope, people studying living organisms saw whole and complete organisms and did not imagine that life was subdivided into smaller compartments. It is now known that the cell is the fundamental unit of life and that all living organisms are composed of cells. Because cells are microscopic, their existence was not discovered until the seventeenth century.
Discovery of the Cell
The discovery of the cell did not come about until the last half of the seventeenth century, after the Dutch inventor Antoni van Leeuwenhoek built the first light microscope. When looking at pond water using his light microscope in 1674, Leeuwenhoek saw many tiny creatures which were invisible to the naked eye. Leeuwenhoek assumed that these tiny "animalcules" were alive because he could see them moving.

Cell-to-cell Communication
Cell-to-cell communication involves the various stimuli to which plants respond, whether biotic, such as hormones and disease, or abiotic, such as water status, heat, cold, and light.
Throughout their lives, plants and plant cells continually respond to both external and internal signals, which they use to alter their physiology, morphology, and development. The manner in which plants respond to a stimulus is determined by developmental age, previous environmental experience, and internal biological clocks that specify the time of year and time of day.
Chemical Messengers
In complex multicellular eukaryotes, the coordination of responses to environmental and developmental stimuli requires an array of signaling mechanisms. Animals have evolved two systems, the nervous system and the endocrine (hormone) system, for responding to stimuli. While plants lack a nervous system, they did evolve hormones and other chemicals, such as phytochrome, as chemical messengers.
Label: cellular biology
Cell Wall
The cell wall is the outer, rigid wall of a cell, dividing the protoplast (the interior, including the cytoplasm and nucleus) from the cell's external environment. The plant cell wall is both unique to and a major feature of plants, perhaps second only to the plant's photosynthetic ability.
The primary functions of the cell wall in plant cells include are to provide protection for the enclosed cytoplasm and give mechanical support to the entire plant structure. Plant cell walls are part of the extracellular matrix, a complex mixture of extracellular materials found between cells.
These materials are synthesized by the intracellular contents and transported through the plasma membranes. All plant cell types consist of at least a primary cell wall, and many also produce a secondary cell wall. In addition, certain cells also secrete specialized substances into the extracellular matrix.
Label: anatomy, cellular biology, physiology
Cells and Diffusion
Plant cells, like all other living cells, are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane, and any particle moving into or out of the cell must cross this membrane. There are three basic processes by which particles move across plant cell membranes: diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and active transport.
The process of active transport requires the direct input of energy tomove particles across the cell membrane.Diffusion and facilitated diffusion can occur without the direct expenditure of cellular energy.
If one were to drop a sugar cube into glass of water and immediately use a straw to sip a little water from the top of the glass, the water would not have a sweet taste. However, after a few hours, a sip of water from the top would taste sweet.
The reason for the change in the taste of the water is diffusion, the net movement of particles down a concentration gradient (that is, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration). Concentration is the number of particles or amount of substance per unit volume, and a gradient occurs when some factor such as concentration changes from one volume of space to another.
Label: cellular biology, transport mechanisms
Cellular Slime Molds
Cellular slime molds, or dictyostelids, were originally considered to be fungi. These microscopic, multicellular organisms are easily mistaken for some of the microfungi that commonly occur as contaminants in laboratory cultures. However, cellular slime molds are more closely related to the protozoans than to fungi.
Although once thought to be fungi, the protists of the phylum Dictyosteliomycota actually have more in common with the paramecium or amoeba that can be observed in a drop of pond water when viewed under the microscope than they do with mushrooms and toadstools.
Cellular slime molds are essentially microscopic throughout their entire life cycle, and only rarely can they be observed directly in nature, as is the case for the plasmodial slime molds. Cellular slime molds must therefore be grown under controlled laboratory conditions in order to be studied.

Central America Agriculture
Agriculture is generally understood to be concerned with the production of food; however, in Central America, ornamental plants and flowers, forest products, and fibers are also important agricultural commodities.
The nations of Central America are generally considered to be Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. At the end of the twentieth century, the agricultural sector employed about 46 percent of the available labor force in Central America, most of which was engaged in subsistence agriculture. This percentage is higher than that of the neighboring developing countries of Mexico (28 percent) and Colombia (30 percent).
The Central American percentage is higher than those in more developed countries, such as the United States and Canada, each of which is below 4 percent. The percentage of suitable land in Central America is about equal to that in Mexico (12 percent) but significantly more than in Colombia (4 percent). Arable land in the United States is about 19 percent.
Central American Flora
Central America — comprising the nations Belize, Costa Rica, El salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama — is a land bridge that connects North America and South America, and many of its plants are similar to plants found on both those continents.
Tropical rain forests lie on the eastern half of Central America and typically have many tall, broadleaved evergreen trees 130 feet (40 meters) or more in height, and 4-5 feet (1.2-1.5 meters) in diameter that form a dense canopy. Shade-seeking plants, such as palms, figs, ferns, vines, philodendrons, and orchids, form the forest undergrowth beneath the trees.
Epiphytes, such as orchids, ferns, bromeliads, and mosses, cling to the branches of the trees in a dense mat of vegetation—these plants have no roots but grow by clinging to the trunks of trees and drawing moisture and nourishment from the air.

As somebody who utilizes the Deca Duro and has called consumer support before, the business is really trusted. At the time of writing, you can get a discount rate on the Deca Duro official site. For a Deca Steroids it is competitively priced. With a refund guarantee too, this definitely a wise option.
By including 400mg per week of nandrolone to a testosterone cycle or a dianabol cycle, you'll have the ability to increase your overall steroid dosage, without increasing the adverse effects. For example, a bodybuilder taking 500mgSustanon 250 per week, who felt he needed more power in his cycle, would find himself with more side-effects if he were to just take more of the very same testosterone.
Since testosterone aromatizes at an increasing rate at higher dosages, there would be an exponential boost in the likeliness of gynecomastia and water retention if more testosterone was added weekly. When including nandrolone decanoate to the very same testosterone cycle, you are increasing the total quantities of steroids your body is receiving every week. However, you are not including any longer sensible substrate for unwanted enzymatic responses from aromatase and 5-reductase. In basic terms, you use more steroids without more side effects.
The dosage for males is around 400-600mgs per week however that differs depending upon objectives. I have actually seen people use as little as 200mgs each week as a booster, and approximately 1500mgs each week as a heavy bulker.
For ladies, I would not suggest utilizing deca durabolin because of the side effects that are too variable from female to woman.
