This is one of my all-time-favourite ways to cook clams, cockles, pipi and tuatua. For a classic version leave out the tomatoes. I prefer just to use the zest of the lemons and no juice to keep a more intense seafood flavour, but if you prefer a tangier finish add a squeeze of lemon juice. The recipe is easily halved for 4 people.
Heat oil in a very large pot and sizzle garlic, lemon zest and chilli flakes for a few seconds. Add tomatoes and wine, bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add shellfish, cover pot tightly and cook for 3-4 minutes, lifting the shellfish out into a bowl as they open. Discard any that remain closed and reserve the cooking liquid to use as a sauce for the pasta.
Remove the meat from half of the shells, discard the empty shells, and reserve the meat in a bowl with the cooked whole shellfish. The shellfish and sauce can be prepared ahead to this point an hour or two before serving and chilled until needed.
Bring cooking liquid sauce back to a boil just before you add the pasta. When ready to serve, cook the pasta in plenty of salted water for 3 minutes less than packet instructions. Drain and add pasta to the hot sauce, season with pepper, and return to a boil over a high heat until pasta is just al dente (2-3 minutes — it needs to still have a bite).
Add reserved shellfish to heat through (about 1 minute). Add parsley, stir well to combine flavours, check seasoning and serve.


About a Research Ship: What is FLIP?
In our previous articles we have seen many different types of ships and now we will study about what is called the FLIP ship. FLIP stands for Floating Instrument Platform, a research ship used by the Scripps Institute of Oceanography to perform various research and scientific studies in the ocean. Manufactured by the Gunderson Brothers Engineering, FLIP was initially used by the US Navy to capture unknown sound waves in the sea. But looking at its precise efficiency and amazing stability it was later decided to use it as a full fledged conventional research vessel.It is the only ship in the world that can flip from horizontal to vertical position when at sea.
Technically speaking, FLIP is not a ship because it doesn't have a propulsion system of its own. It is a research vessel that can be towed to the desired location where it flips itself to get converted into a buoy that performs functions such as measuring wave heights, water density, temperature, acoustic waves and signals and also meteorological informations.
FLIP is a 108 meter long ship that resembles a baseball bat. One end of the vessel comprises of the living and working areas and the rest of the part accommodates special ballast tanks. These tanks covers almost 300 feet of the entire vessel. One of the most salient features of the vessel is its stability. This huge vessel perfectly aligns itself in a horizontal position, unaffected by the waves. This is quite amazing keeping the fact in mind that the vessel doesn't have any kind of propulsion system.
In order to get that extra buoyancy for the structure above the waterline, special air tanks are provided below the accommodation and working station. But how does the crew and instruments inside the working space survive the flip? The design of the vessel is so done that all the instruments can be made usable even after the vessel flips.
Almost all the furniture and instruments are bolted to the bulkhead so that when the vessels flips, they automatically come it the usable position. Things such as tables, beds, stoves etc are built on swivels so that they can be turned when the structure moves. But the things that cannot be rotated easily, e.g doors, sinks, showers etc, are made in pairs,i.e one on the bulkhead and one on the floor.
Power is provided on the platform with the help of two 150 Kw generators and one 40 Kw emergency generator. It is also equipped with the various navigational equipments, including radars and GPS systems.
When at the desired location, 700 tons of sea water in pumped into the ballast tanks, which submerges the 300 feet long part of the vessel into the sea. The whole process takes around 28 minutes to convert the horizontal vessel into a vertical buoy. The structure when in vertical position, stands almost equal in height to that of a five-storey building.
The ballasting process is done by opening the flooding doors and allowing the ballast tanks to flood automatically. All these doors are hydraulically operated and are controlled and monitored from the control room. For the deballasting process, upto 3000 cu ft. of compressed air, stored at 250 psi is forced into the ballast tanks, which pushes the water out through the flood openings.
To increase the stability, 3 anchors weighing a total of 9 tons are suspended with the help of chains and nylon lines on all the sides of the vessel. In addition to that, small hydraulically operated thrusters are also provided in order to maintain an optimum heading.
The stability quotient of FLIP is so high that even a 30 ft wave causes only 3 ft of vertical movement in the vessel. Flip can withststand waves as high as 80 ft without any difficulties.


Today's gifts are in the $75 and under category but the gifts really range from about $30-$75 given the separate $25 and under list. The items range from functional to totally frivolous but that's what gifts are about—giving things to folks that they'd love but never buy for themselves. Here's to a little joy this season.
1. Loliware Edible Cups ($30 for a box of 4). This one goes in the cool but frivolous category. They are only sold in New York City for now, but you can reach out to the company to explore out of state options in the future. The cups come in Bitter (bitters), Salty (lime), Sour (lemon), Spicy (pepper) and Sweet (vanilla) in sets of 4, 12 and 48 cups. Talk about conversation piece for a cocktail party. You can also find recipes on the site that are compatible with each cup flavor. Order at AHA Life or on the Loliware site.
2. Fornash Derby Bracelet ($38 at Fornash but on sale at Open Sky for $29 until December 13, 2012). Bracelet comes in black, blue, orange, white, pink and green. The bracelet is 100% leather and closes with a gold plated horse bit.
3. Morrocan Tea Glass Set ($40 for a set of 6). These glasses are beautiful because of their jewel tones (you can also find them in orange, red, and gold). While traditionally used for tea, they can also be used as votive holders, small vases or in the bathroom to hold makeup brushes, cotton swabs and cotton balls.
4. Angie ring by Robert Chiarella ($58). It's always good to have a cute statement piece. Necklace, cocktail ring or otherwise. Robert Chiarella is a great source for that. I chose this one because of my love for all things green but there are many options. The ring is also on sale at Open Sky for a limited time ($44).
5. Cubist Appetizer Serving Set ($50). It's party season. This sleek and modern serving set will make a great home for appetizers before they are snatched up. Consider giving it to the hostess with the mostest (yes, I really just said that) in your life.
6. Table Topics ($30). It's always fun to have something on hand to get the conversation going at a dinner party. This cute set is sure to help make some memories...especially after a couple of cocktails. Sets also available for families and for girl's night out.
7. Customized Dog Collar ($40). I can't forget gifts for the pet lovers in my life. I love my little fur babies. They are worth a splurge. Somehow, I think my fellow pet owners will agree.
8. Me & Kashmiere Cashmere Scarf ($62 on Open Sky). Love the bright colors and 60% discount on this pretty scarf. I have tons of scarves to get me through the cold NY winters and feel like you can't go wrong with them as a gift.
9. Cashmere Intarsia Monogram Gloves ($58). Cashmere with a nod to techie needs. These gloves allow you to use your touch screen phone, tablet, etc. without freezing your fingers off...and they're personalized. Love.
10. Horse Bit Layering Necklace ($48). Generally, I like statement necklaces but for gifting, you never know what statement a friend or family member wants to make. That makes me keep it simple. This necklace can be layered with others or worn alone on more casual days.
11. Pebbled Leather Continental Wallet ($68). I'm a sucker for a colorful wallet and I change them with the season. This one adds a nice pop of color in the cold winter months. It also comes in black, beige and red.
12. Ikat Print Dinnerware: ($10 to $14 per piece): I love the idea of mixing bright colorful dinnerware into my standard collection. These pieces pop and would work well with standard white plates. Adding 4 salad plates would only cost you $48 and would add a nice splash of color.


Using these simple instructions, you can make 4 lbs. of your own maple-cured bacon in just 8 days.
Combine salts and sugar in a bowl and mix to evenly distribute the ingredients. Add the syrup and stir to combine.
Rub the cure mixture over the entire surface of the belly. Place in a 2-gallon Ziploc bag or a non-reactive container slightly bigger than the meat. The pork will release water into the salt mixture to create a brine. It is important that the meat keep in contact with the brine throughout the curing process.
Refrigerate, turning the belly and redistributing the cure every other day for 7 days, until the meat is firm to the touch.
Remove the belly from the cure, rinse it thoroughly, and pat it dry. Place on a rack set over a baking sheet tray and dry in the refrigerator, uncovered, for 12-24 hours.
Hot smoke the pork belly to an internal temperature of 150 degrees F (about 3 hours).
Let bacon cool, then wrap in plastic and refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.

Q: In DDD, how do you work with multiple repositories for read-only lists What do you do if you need to generate a read-only list of data on a page and that data would naturally come from several, potentially 5 or more different repositories?
We're using DDD and have been forcing access to our database through repositories, but there is a scenario that has come up that doesn't seem to fit DDD and we're trying to decide on the best pattern to use.
For example, let's say that you have a community based web site with videos, forums, blogs, etc. You've got a forums page with a list of comments. This is rough, but I hope it makes sense.

User Name (with possible link)	User's community score.	User Avatar	User's E-mail	User's blog	User's videos

This is a comment.

So each comment contains several different pieces: a user Name, a community score, an avatar, an e-mail, a user's blog and a user's video page. Traditionally, these pieces of information would all come from separate repositories.
The issue with that is efficiency. Repositories can be maximized, but only around the aggregate for which their created. Using repositories becomes inefficient for read access the moment that you need access to data that lies in more than one repository.
My solution is to create a UserInformation DTO with the relevant information and place a method in the UserForumsRepository with the signature
ILIst<UserInformation> GetUserForumsUserInformationByForumPostID(int forumPostID).

One of my colleagues suggests that using a DTO in this way breaks the design pattern that we've been using and suggests that a better way would be to get a list of forum comment ids and then pass those ids into the various repositories to return the results.
My own view is that main purpose of repositories is to encapsulate business logic which is important for the CUD parts of CRUD, but that read-only lists should be generated in the way that makes most sense. If appropriate, I think that it even makes sense to remove the read-only list methods from the repository entirely (e.g. such as in a common widget that's used across multiple different types pages).
How do you handle this situation?

A: I hate answering my own question, but I haven't had any comments and I appear to have found the answer from the usual suspect: Fowler.
In our design, which is the same as most simple DDD, our application is connecting to our repositories directly to obtain and update data. However, in more complex scenarios, there is an additional service layer between the concrete repositories and the application layer. Instead of passing objects from the domain model to the client, you pass DTOs.
According to Fower (PoEAA 401), you ". . . can't usually transfer objects from the domain model, . . . because the objects are usually connected in a complex web that's difficult, if not impossible, to serialize." Fowler continues "Instead you have to transfer a simplified form of the data from the domain objects."
So actually, especially in a distributed system, passing DTOs to the client is the norm. How the service layer assembles those DTOs from the domain layer should be of no interest to the client.
I must admit that I'm a little distressed by this statement by Fowler. I very much like the convenience of using the domain model in ASP.Net MVC. It makes it especially convenient when creating master-detail UI design pattern views. When a strongly typed view is associated with a customer, it only takes a line of code to include a CustomerOrders.ascx partial view(with type IList) and passing in customer.Orders to the partial view. Maybe it's ok to continue to do this, so long as the domain object is behaviorless, but that's a future question.

A: Answer #2
What's needed here is an extra service layer between the concrete repository and the client. Sometimes, what the client needs is different from what the repository layer provides, especially in the case where the repositories may be distributed. A service layer allows you to define coarsely grained methods and hide the finely grained details from the client. With a services layer, you're then passing lightweight DTOs on to the client, instead of full fledged business objects.
To map the business objects to DTOs and the reverse, the tool Automapper is becoming quite popular.

Follow the allotment series here.
Rhubarb, these started as four small donations from our allotment neighbour.
Onions, this is our 2nd bed of onions. They went in after the super cold December and have done better than the first lot.
And the sweetcorn are looking great!
Sweetcorn, current count is 55 plants from the 60 kernels. Not bad!
We have 23 various squash/pumpkin/courgette plants in total.
The beetroot and parsnips are coming along well. We may have underestimated the germination rate of the parsnips and overestimated our likely consumption of them…. Anyone out there who would like some parsnips in a couple of months' time??
In the foreground, the eldest beetroot, behind them younger. In the background parsnips and potatoes.
Rainbow (at least red, green and yellow anyway) chard.
The kale has been growing fast since it finally started raining a couple of weeks ago.
The garlic that we put in in autumn had completely died, so we were forced to harvest them all, although it's a bit early. Maybe they were tricked by the dry spring into thinking that summer had been and gone. Turnips that we had almost given up on have also done remarkably well, so we thinned them out and ate some in white sauce with the chard.
First real harvest this year. Chard, turnip and garlic.
Time to stop buying vegetables!
I'm very impressed at the weed-free-ness of your beds – watch out for that grass though, it creeps! I'm very jealous of your harvest. We're picking lettuce (Sunday party's salad was from the garden) and and mangetout peas are nearly ready, but beans are very slow and currently fleeced up against possible frost! At last our third attempt at carrots seems to be succeeding, but it'll be a long time till we can eat any. Looking forward to digging potatoes very soon though.
Good to meet you last Sunday, Chris. Sorry there wasn't more time to talk. Come again.


Doves have been on 'hiatus' since 2010. While their old albums haven't lost any of their beauty (indeed, your scribe spent last winter playing Kingdom of Rust), more music would be good.
Well, something is happening. We don't know if it's a single, even an album, or a tour, but they have posted a cryptic clue to their Twitter: travel cases with Monday's date across it. A gig of some kind seems most reasonable.
We really hope it's a full reunion.

Q: Why is using the structure variable itself in its element not allowed? Why declaring a structure with its own identifier as an element of it is not allowed? where as a self referential structure  which is declared by the same variable of the struct with a pointer symbol!
this is the code I tried out:
 #include<stdio.h>
    #include<conio.h>
    struct am
    {
     int a;
     struct am k; // this reported an error
    };

This code reported me a error where as when i used it as a pointer it accepted it , i searched the web and i came to know that it was called the self referential structure
#include<stdio.h>
    #include<conio.h>
    struct ko
    {
     int a;
     struct ko * op; // this was allowed by my compiler
    };

this structure worked please brief me !
I'm using a TurboC++ version 3.0 by borland international inc.

A: An object cannot contain an object of the same type as itself; that's a logical impossibililty, as it would need to be larger than itself.
As you say, it could contain a pointer or reference, but not an object.

I'm using a TurboC++ version 3.0 by borland international inc.

I've no idea why you'd use a twenty-year old compiler, and an ancient dialect of C++ that few now remember. But this was just as impossible then as it is now.

A: Two reasons:

*

*The struct am type isn't complete until the closing } of the struct definition; when you try to declare k as an instance of struct am, the compiler still doesn't know how big struct am needs to be.

*A struct cannot contain an instance of itself, since that member would also have to contain an instance of itself, which would contain an instance of itself, ad inifinitum; the resulting object would be inifinitely large.
A struct can contain a pointer to an instance of the same type because a) you can create pointers to incomplete types, and b) all struct pointer types have the same size and representation.


Last week, we had several beautiful days that had me ready to spruce up the screened porch for Spring. It's still a little chilly to go all out, but I chalked up a little Rocky Top chalk art, and then decided to add one more simple touch by adding a state of Tennessee chalkboard!
It was so easy, it only took about 15 minutes from start to finish. I thought some of you would like to add a little of your own state love in your decor, so I'm sharing the quick how-to! I started with a basic foam board, which looks like a chalkboard but does not erase like one. This will work fine if you just want the look of a chalkboard, but not erase it. If you'd like to be able to actually erase and use the board like a real chalkboard, this product is awesome and very affordable as well! Either way, the how-to will be the same!
Then, you need to print out the outline of your state and trace around it with a pencil.
Then, using an X-acto knife like this one, carefully cut the lines of your pattern.
Add a little star to mark your home town for a little more love!
This would be a cute gift for new home owners, newly-weds or anyone who just loves their state! So fun and easy! Hope you love it too!

nice! even i could do that.
Do you live in TN? I am from Knoxville and miss it terrible! I married a Hoosier. I'm stuck in the dreary Midwest and it's FLAT!
Yes! I'm here in Knoxville & I love it here too :). Wish you were back in your hometown!

Technologies Developed in REDFINCH
The target application demonstrators produced in REDFINCH will be achieved through the development of a number of key technologies, each of which will be a significant advance in the state-of-the-art:
Integrated Mid-Infrared Multi-Wavelength Laser Arrays
On-Chip Photo-Acoustic Spectroscopy Sensors
On-Chip Sensors for Liquids
For flexible gas sensors, it is highly desirable to have a light source which can cover a wide range of wavelengths, in order to be able to target many different types of gases and absorption lines. While some limited tuning of a single laser diode is possible via e.g. electrical or thermal tuning, this is constrained by the gain bandwidth of the active region, and ultimately the material system used for the laser. It is rarely sufficient for effective multi-gas detection applications, particularly in the MIR range.
An obvious solution is to have an array of different laser diodes, each covering a slightly different wavelength range, with their individual outputs combined into a single output (or a small number of outputs) using an on-chip multiplexer such as an Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG). Progress towards this has already been made, with single-mode Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) combined with a silicon multiplexer chip using a manually-aligned butt joint configuration. In REDFINCH, the assembly process will be developed to be more conducive to large-scale commercial manufacture, and the number and type of lasers used in the array will be expanded. The ultimate ambition is to realise a MIR multi-wavelength array incorporating a combination of QCLs, GaSb-based lasers grown directly on Si, and hybrid Photonic Crystal lasers, thereby spanning the whole range from 3-8 μm.
Laser photo-acoustic spectroscopy (PAS) is an efficient technique for non-contact analysis of trace amounts of chemical compounds in gas media, with sensitivities down to the parts per billion range possible. It works based on the fact that when light of a specific wavelength is absorbed by a gas, it causes the molecules to heat up. This heating, in turn, causes an increase in the local pressure. By modulating the intensity of the light, the pressure change is also modulated, creating a periodic pressure wave – i.e. a sound wave. This sound wave can be detected by a conventional microphone and amplified by tuning the modulation frequency to an acoustic resonance of the sample cell.
The advantage of PAS is that the acoustic detection arrangement depends only on the amplitude modulation of the illumination laser, and not on its wavelength. Since the detection does not rely on e.g. optical detectors or optical path lengths, different gases can be targeted simply by changing the illumination wavelength, without the need to make any physical adjustments to the detector setup. (Of course, different gases will have different absorption coefficients, which will affect signal strength, but in an easily predictable way). This makes PAS an ideal technique for multi-gas sensors. It also has the advantage that the performance scales favourably with miniaturisation.
A number of different ways of implementing PAS exist – in REDFINCH, a design based on a differential cell is used. In this approach, the gas enters two acoustic resonance chambers which have the same resonance response and are both equipped with microphones. However, the laser light excites the gas in only one of the resonators, so that taking the difference in the two microphone signals eliminates noise components that are coherent in both resonators. Within the REDFINCH project, this PAS sensor will be scaled down to a µm-sized cell fabricated in Si and fully integrated on-chip.
In a mobile or in-line process environment, monitoring via MIR spectroscopy is attractive due to its non-invasive nature, but highly accurate analysis of analytes in liquids by MIR is extremely challenging. This is largely due to the fact that water and other common solvents give rise to strong temperature-dependent background absorption, and the characteristic absorption features of dissolved analytes tend to be broad and often overlap. Hence, ideally a broadly tunable MIR laser source is required, in order to obtain many specific measurements over a wide spectral range. Unfortunately, the current state-of-the-art in such sources tend to be relatively large and expensive, and unsuited to portable or in-line applications. A possible workaround for this, where light from a benchtop source is carried by fibre optics to in-line sensor elements (e.g. ATR crystals), is hampered by the poor performance of currently-available fibre optic cables in the MIR spectral region. Consequently, such schemes are restricted to quite short cable runs, are sensitive to vibrations and often not rugged enough for practical use in process environments.
The REDFINCH partners propose to realise a compact, on-chip liquid sensor by combining the multi-wavelength MIR laser array (see above) with an evanescent wave Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) fabricated with Ge waveguides on Si. In this arrangement, one arm of the MZI is in contact with the sample while the other arm remains covered (or alternatively, is exposed to a reference sample of the solvent). By making the dimensions of the waveguide a fraction of the employed MIR wavelength, the electric field of the light travelling in the waveguide extends into, and interacts with, the sample medium. This has an advantage over more typical ATR arrangements, since the light is in continuous contact with the sample throughout the waveguide, rather than only at a few reflection points as in an ATR crystal, thus increasing signal strength and sensitivity. The fully-integrated sensor will be compact and robust, as well as cheap enough to be widely deployed.

Alex Hernandez embraces his inner entrepreneur
Hernandez smiles proudly as he moves on to the next chapter in his life.

Inspiring beyond the imagination, Alex Hernandez has taken it in his own hands to change the way the school is run. Starting his junior year, Hernandez began to work hard in ASB, with his dedication ultimately earning him the title of executive president his senior year.
"School is our second home so our biggest task this year was inclusion, which meant getting all of those people that are hiding in a corner to come to a dance, game, or event. The ASB room isn't a place one should be scared of and no one should believe 'popular' kids are the only ones involved. My advice is to be involved," Hernandez said.
Hernandez took his statement to heart by playing football and baseball all four years of high school as well as squeezing in a year of wrestling. For Hernandez, student life has become an opportunity to use his regrets to propel him into not making the same mistakes again and, in so doing, become the best version of himself.
"I wish I had tried out for quarterback; I remember the day the coach asked who wanted to play but I was too scared to say I did. Maybe I wouldn't have been good, who knows? I could have sucked and gone back to being what I was but at least tried," Hernandez said.
In the end, Hernandez plans on taking advantage of the Palomar Promise and hopes to transfer to San Diego State to pursue his dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Gathering inspiration from his parents, part of his dream is to become successful in terms of education; however, Hernandez ultimately believes he will truly be successful once he has a family.
"I think of myself as the most real person I can be. I tend to think of things more realistically. I can adapt and talk to a whole lot of people… In 10 years I would be 28… oh geez.. At 28 I would like to have a kid along with a wife. My parents had me young; however, they always worked hard to support me," Hernandez said.

Insulin glargine, sold under the brand name Lantus among others, is a long-acting modified form of medical insulin, used in the management of type I and type II diabetes. It is typically the recommended long acting insulin in the United Kingdom. It is injected just under the skin. Effects generally begin an hour after use.

Common side effects include low blood sugar, problems at the site of injection, itchiness, and weight gain. Other serious side effects include low blood potassium. NPH insulin rather than insulin glargine is generally preferred in pregnancy. After injection microcrystals slowly release insulin for about 24 hours. This insulin causes body tissues to absorb glucose from the blood and decreases glucose production by the liver.

Insulin glargine was approved for medical use in the United States in 2000. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. In 2020, it was the 32nd most commonly prescribed medication in the United States with more than 17million prescriptions. In July 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved an interchangeable biosimilar insulin product called Semglee (insulin glargine-yfgn) for the treatment of diabetes.

Medical uses

The long-acting insulin class, which includes insulin glargine, do not appear much better than neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin, but do have a greater cost, making them, as of 2010, not cost effective for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. In a previous review it was unclear if there is a difference in hypoglycemia, as there was not enough data to determine any differences with respect to long term outcomes, however a more recent Cochrane systematic review did not find clinically significant difference when comparing insulin glargine to NHP insulin, insulin detemir or insulin degludec in the management of type I Diabetes in neither adults or children in periods of 6 months or longer. It is not typically the recommended long acting insulin in the United Kingdom.

Semglee is indicated to improve glycemic control in adults and children with Type 1 diabetes and in adults with Type 2 diabetes. Semglee is both biosimilar to, and interchangeable with (can be substituted for), its reference product Lantus (insulin glargine), a long-acting insulin analog.

Mixing with other insulins
Unlike some other longer-acting insulins, glargine must not be diluted or mixed with other insulin or solution in the same syringe. However, this restriction has been questioned.

Adverse effects
Common side effects include low blood sugar, problems at the site of injection, itchiness, and weight gain. Serious side effects include low blood potassium.

As of 2012, tentative evidence shows no association between insulin glargine and cancer. Previous studies had raised concerns.

When comparing insulin glargine to NPH insulin, insulin detemir or insulin degludec, no significant adverse effects were found in the management of type I Diabetes in neither adults or children in periods of 6 months or longer.

Pharmacology

Mechanism of action
Insulin glargine differs from human insulin by replacing asparagine with glycine in position 21 of the A-chain and by carboxy-terminal extension of B-chain by 2 arginine residues.  The arginine amino acids shift the isoelectric point from a pH of 5.4 to 6.7, making the molecule more soluble at an acidic pH and less soluble at physiological pH. The isoelectric shift also allows for the subcutaneous injection of a clear solution. The glycine substitution prevents deamidation of the acid-sensitive asparagine at acidic pH. In the neutral subcutaneous space, higher-order aggregates form, resulting in a slow, peakless dissolution and absorption of insulin from the site of injection. It can achieve a peakless level for at least 24 hours.

Acceptance and repartition in the body

Insulin glargine is formulated at an acidic pH 4, where it is completely water-soluble. After subcutaneous injection of the acidic solute (which can cause discomfort and a stinging sensation), when a physiologic pH (approximately 7.4) is achieved the increase in pH causes the insulin to come out of solution resulting in the formation of higher order aggregates of insulin hexamers. The higher order aggregation slows the dissociation of the hexamers into insulin monomers, the functional and physiologically active unit of insulin. This gradual process ensures that small amounts of insulin glargine are released into the body continuously, giving an almost peakless profile.

History
On 9 June 2000, the European Commission formally approved the launching of Lantus by Sanofi-Aventis Germany Ltd. in the entire European Union. The admission was prolonged on 9 June 2005.

A three-fold more concentrated formulation, brand name Toujeo, was introduced after FDA approval in 2015.

Society and culture

Legal status

Biosimilars
Abasaglar was approved for medical use in the European Union in September 2014.

Lusduna was approved for medical use in the European Union in January 2017.

In March 2018, insulin glargine (Semglee) was approved for medical use in the European Union.

In July 2021, insulin glargine-yfgn (Semglee) was approved for medical use in the United States as the first interchangeable biosimilar of Lantus. The FDA granted approval of Semglee to Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Patent expiry
Patent protection for insulin glargine expired in most countries in 2015 and in the U.S.A. is expected to expire on 2027-07-05. Insulin glargine from competitor Eli Lilly became available in most countries during 2015, under the brand names Basaglar (as a follow-on in the US) and Abasaglar (as a biosimilar in the EU).

Daunte Wright's mother was approached and grabbed by police while trying to film a traffic stop
By Omar Jimenez, CNN
Published 10:32 PM EDT, Thu May 5, 2022
Daunte Wright's mom looks at the crowd gathered outside the Hennepin County Government Center, on December 23, 2021, in Minneapolis, after jurors found former police officer Kim Potter guilty of first degree and second degree manslaughter.
Christian Monterrosa/AP
Katie Wright, the mother of 20-year-old Daunte Wright, is calling for the firing of a Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, police officer who she says tried to arrest her for filming a traffic stop.
Daunte Wright was shot and killed by Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter in April 2021 during a traffic stop. Potter was convicted of first and second-degree manslaughter in Wright's killing and sentenced in February to two years in prison.
Less than three months after the sentence, Katie Wright says she saw a "high police presence" for a vehicle on Wednesday that was pulled over with at least one person in it. She estimated the person to be 20 or 25 years old. So she pulled onto the highway shoulder and began to film on her cell phone.
According to the ACLU of Minnesota, "You have the right to record police actions as long as you do not interfere with their activities and are not breaking any other law."
"All I was doing was my civic duty to pull over and make sure that those babies got home safe to their families because I don't want what happened to me to happen to any other families," Wright said during a press conference on Thursday.
Former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter testified in her own trial.
Kim Potter, ex-officer convicted in fatal shooting of Daunte Wright, sentenced to 2 years in prison -- less than prosecutors requested
Wright posted the video on Facebook. Body camera video of the incident was also released Thursday by the city of Brooklyn Center.
The body camera video shows an officer helping arrest a suspect and place them into a police vehicle. Then the officer turns his attention across the street toward Wright and is heard saying "she's getting a ticket" as another officer says, "Nah, don't worry about it. Come on!"
Moments earlier, the person being arrested is heard telling officers, "I don't wanna be on that camera over there. She's recording over there, I don't want my face on camera because I don't know what the f**k's going on."
It's not immediately clear if the person being arrested says that in reference to Wright or someone else.
The officer continues toward Wright across multiple lanes of traffic and asks for her driver's license.
Mayor: 'I'm really sad to see how Ms. Wright was treated'
"You're going to give me your driver's license or I'm going to take you to jail for obstruction," the officer says to Wright, who at this point is sitting in the driver's side of her car with the door open filming the officer with her cell phone.
The officer then puts his hand on Wright's wrist to pull her up and then takes the cell phone out of her hands.
He begins to lead Wright away from the car before she says, "You know who I am right?"
"You guys killed my son and I'm gonna videotape it," she says and points in the direction of the traffic stop. "And if you take me to jail, I'm going to sue you."
"You can't sit on the side of the road!" the officer tells Wright.
"Do not ever touch me again," she responds.
"I'll send you a ticket in the mail," the officer eventually says, to which Wright responds, "then send me a ticket."
During Thursday's press conference, Wright questioned why the officer chose to say he would give Wright a ticket even though another officer told him not to do so.
"I'm really sad to see how Ms. Wright was treated," Brooklyn Center Mayor Mike Elliott told CNN.
It "seemed unnecessary to approach Ms. Wright," Elliott said, adding that, "whatever was happening in the police situation that they were dealing with, had largely subsided."
Controversial Police Encounters Fast Facts
He also noted Wright is helping lead the city's efforts in alternatives to 911 and the reason she, like many others across the country, decide to film police interactions is a "reflection of the level of mistrust that people have in law enforcement."
A statement released by the city of Brooklyn Center Thursday read in part, "While assisting another agency on a high-risk stop as part of a homicide investigation, there was an encounter between Katie Wright and Brooklyn Center officers." The city released the body camera footage "in an effort to promote public safety and dispel widespread rumor or unrest."
Wright is calling for the officer to be fired.
"I don't want a police officer like that patrolling our community," Wright said. "He escalated a situation that didn't need to be escalated."
"I was only doing what was right and what everyone else should do," she added.
The officer's actions are still under review and any disciplinary decisions are "forthcoming," the mayor told CNN.


In January, 1880, Catherine Booth began to give a series of lectures on, "Aggressive Christianity." These lectures encapsulated the militarism that had caused an explosion of evangelism across the United Kingdom and was just launching into a worldwide movement. Between the years 1878-1883, the Army was multiplying more rapidly than at any other time during its' history (Glenn Horridge, The Salvation Army Origins and Early Days, 1993, p.38).
The Devil has been well used to the business of assaulting others, but, we suppose he was scarcely prepared to be assaulted himself after the manner in which he being treated by The Salvation Army. His roaring Lion business is getting considerably damaged. Just as he fancies he is clearing off nice and safe with a sheep or a lamb in his mouth, up comes one of those terrible and valiant Captains of The Salvation Army such as Dowdle, and snatches it out of his jaws.
Hitherto the Devil has been pretty safe in the streets; and as he took his walks abroad he was pretty well secure and safe from insult or injury from either the parsons of deacons of the quiet churches; but now forsooth, under the new order of things, he scarcely gets a moment's peace. Day and night the sharp-shooters of The Salvation Army are firing away at him. Bearing the Lion in his den. Rooting him out of the town of Mansoul by the sword of the Spirit. Attacking him in his camp, amidst his game preserves, and anywhere, and everywhere where the mark of his cloven foot is discernible, or the merest tip of his tail is to be seen.
What a description! I pray that we will find inspiration to live up to this today. The world needs it!

Positivity And Optimism Are Perhaps Our Greatest Traits
Today I'm going to talk about what I consider to be one of the most attractive qualities in people (both guys and gals)… and one of the biggest driving forces for doing epic things in our life and as entrepreneurs here in Roseburg.
My wife and I were at the art festival a while back here in town and we were strolling through the art show. One of the most fascinating things to me is how two people can look at the exact same thing… and see it in totally different ways. For some reason, I really can't remember a piece of art that I've ever seen that I thought was just downright terrible. I'm sure there were some… but my mind tends to lock on what's great about stuff. The uniqueness, quirkiness, and creativity is what I see… and I love it. But some people I know well tend to look at the things they don't like about something first, and totally miss the beauty in the piece.
Just two sides of the same coin. Neither is wrong.
So just recently something hit me, and I realized that this quality is perhaps one of the most powerful qualities that we as entrepreneurs can have. Not just for our businesses… but for the impacts we can make on our communities as well.
By the nature of being the guy behind the local young entrepreneur group (which is growing fast) and theLoft entrepreneur workspace downtown, I'm invited on a lot of boards, groups, projects, etc. I've had to say no to most of them these days with 3 young kids, a rapidly growing company, and other commitments (mountain biking is important after all)… but the one thing that I've noticed in many of these groups and efforts is they'll come up to me and say how much more excited they are about the project / the future now after we talked. Or they'll have this newfound smile and energy to get great things done that they maybe didn't have before. I don't think it's necessarily the ideas that I bring that cause that… I think it's mainly the optimism and positivity from which those ideas come from.
Kinda like showing people the beauty in a piece of art when they may see just a normal painting.
For this reason, I've realized that one of the biggest contributions entrepreneurs can make to improving our community and our startup scene here… is simply to be a constant beacon of positivity and possibility for what you believe in and in the future of the Roseburg entrepreneur community. It attracts people. It excites people (often times into action). It catalyzes people and efforts and possibly helps them advance faster. It spreads like wildfire on a windy August afternoon. I can cite specific examples where successful entrepreneurs have moved here (when they could have lived anywhere) recently mainly because of that positive energy and optimism… and I can cite many examples of young entrepreneurs who were thinking of moving away from Roseburg, deciding to stay to grow their companies here because of that feeling of energy and optimism. It's a powerful force. So powerful that the Roseburg entrepreneur scene is starting to get noticed at a state level and keeps coming up in conversations in Portland and Bend boardrooms. The head of the Oregon Entrepreneur Network (based in Portland) called me up a while back and said, "I keep hearing about great things happening in Roseburg… what the heck is happening down there?". Yes, things are happening here… but it's the wave of positivity and energy that is making them take note.

Assad Forces battles IS for Palmyra
27 March 2016 | 1:05 am
Smoke rises near Palmyra castle during shelling by Syrian troops on the outskirts of the ancient city of Palmyra on March 24, 2016 (AFP Photo/)
Syrian government forces have advanced into Palmyra on several fronts backed by air strikes and artillery, a monitoring group has said.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the fighting was the most intense yet seen in the army's campaign to recapture the city from so-called Islamic State (IS).
IS seized the UNESCO World Heritage site and adjoining modern town in May.
It destroyed archaeological sites, drawing global outrage. Two 2,000-year-old temples, an arch and funerary towers were left in ruins.
Government forces had taken neighbourhoods in the western and northern parts of the city, the observatory said.
Syrian state media said earlier the army had taken full control of the al-Amiriya district on Palmyra's northern edge.

Jun 14, 1933 -- Michigan Avenue Bridge Ship Squeeze
June 14, 1933 – This must have been quite a sight … two ships – the Duluth and the Steel Motor – pass abreast, headed in opposite directions at the Michigan Avenue bridge as two lake steamers – the Theodore Roosevelt on the south side of the river and the Isle Royale on the north bank lie at their docks. Onlookers estimate that there is less than six feet of clearance between the ships at the point where the Duluth and the Steel Motor pass. The above Tribune photo, taken from Tribune Tower, looking south shows the two freighters passing in the middle of the river with the two passenger vessels parked at docks on the north and south.
June 14, 1927 – Headed to the Black Hills of South Dakota, the presidential train of Calvin Coolidge stops in East Chicago at 3:00 p.m. The presidential party is driven a dozen miles to Wicker Park in Hammond as state and city police officers, along with national guardsman "present an unbroken guard for the presidential party." [Chicago Daily Tribune, June 14, 1927] The Calumet region is represented by 150,000 people as the president dedicates the park, "an oak covered plot of ground bordering the wooded banks of Hart creek, a picturesque natural forest of much nobility in aspect, though limited in area." It is a quick affair as the Coolidge's party boards the west-bound train at 5:00 p.m. at the Hammond station. The above photo shows the President standing for the Pledge of Allegiance at the Wicker Park ceremony.
June 14, 1992 – Despite Michael Jordan being held scoreless for the first 11 minutes of the game by a tenacious Portland Trailblazer defense, the Chicago Bulls win the game and earn their second NBA championship, defeating the Portland team in this sixth game of the playoff series, 97-94. Unfortunately, the city's euphoria over the win quickly turns ugly, and by the time the sun comes up the next day Police Superintendent Matt Rodriguez says that the number of those arrested could exceed 1,000. Lawbreaking and violence are widespread, ranging from stores that are burned to the ground on the West Side to windows that are broken or shot out on North Michigan Avenue. Mayor Richard Daley says, "When people have an excuse to loot, they loot. When they have an excuse to shoot, they shoot. People just wanted an excuse." [Chicago Tribune, June 15, 1992] At least 95 police officers are injured, two of those by gunfire. The Chicago Transit Authority reports damage to 52 buses and 68 elevated train cars, most of those marred with graffiti.
June 14, 1969 – The Chicago Tribune gives a shout-out in an editorial "to the many open spaces which building owners and architects have provided to make downtown Chicago a more civilized place." [Chicago Tribune, June 14, 1969] Today this editorial reminds us of something that we take for granted, something that was a rarity as the 1960's began – open space in the heart of a city in which every square foot of property is a valuable commodity. It could have been a lot different. Think of it – within the space of nine short years the city received four great plazas in conspicuous places: the Civic Plaza in front of the 1965 Chicago Civic Center, now the Daley Center; the plaza, now filled with an Apple Store, in front of the 1965 Equitable building at 401 North Michigan Avenue; the First National Bank plaza with its Ferris Bueller fountain of 1969; and the great federal plaza north of the Kluczynski Federal building and its Alexander Calder stabile, "Flamingo," completed in 1974. We are today the recipients of the foresight of those planners of the 1960's. The Tribune was right on the money when it stated, "We commend the building owners for sharing some of their expensive land with the public." The Exelon Plaza at Chase Bank, along with the Ferris Bueller fountain, is shown above.

Is B.C.'s energy answer blowin' in the wind?
by Erin Millar on April 21st, 2010 at 12:03 PM
Take the elevator to the 57-metre-high viewing pod on Grouse Mountain's new wind turbine, and the first thing you'll be struck by is the panoramic view. To the south, the sparkling city appears tiny compared to the expanse of land and water lying beyond it. To the north, snow-kissed mountain peaks stretch for hundreds of kilometres.
Just as you're pondering your own insignificance, whoosh! Your breath is taken away by an equally stunning sight. Only 50 centimetres from the protective glass, a 37-metre-long turbine blade rushes past at over 200 kilometres per hour.
Dubbed the Eye of the Wind, the turbine is intended not only to reduce the ski resort's dependence on the electric grid, but also to serve as a symbol of the future of renewable energy in the Lower Mainland.
"It is supposed to be iconic and have a message to Vancouver and to the world," project manager Julia Kossowski told the Georgia Straight by phone from her office on Grouse.
But is the Eye of the Wind a sign of things to come in Vancouver? Will other white towers soon dot the North Shore mountains? Could a wind farm be built in the shallow waters off Richmond? Inconsistent wind conditions in the Lower Mainland make these scenarios unlikely.
However, Grouse Mountain's project is a harbinger of wind-energy projects in other parts of British Columbia, which will soon help power the lights of Vancouver.
Last month, as part of its Clean Power Call program, B.C. Hydro awarded contracts to six new wind-farm projects in Tumbler Ridge, Chetwynd, and Port Hardy. Yet many renewable-energy supporters want to see the province move faster to increase its wind-farm capacity.
"I would love to see a huge expansion of wind power," Guy Dauncey, president of the B.C. Sustainable Energy Association, told the Straight by phone from Victoria. "Right now there's wind rushing past, and it's not being captured."
Dauncey's concern over all this untapped energy is justified. Before November 2009, when Alta-Gas Income Trust's Bear Mountain Wind Park near Dawson Creek began generating electricity for the grid, B.C. was the only province in Canada without a single operating wind turbine.
So, why the molasses-slow adoption of wind power? According to Dauncey, the availability of cheap hydropower has limited the demand for renewable-energy sources such as wind turbines, which are more expensive. But, in its 2007 B.C. Energy Plan, the Liberal government pledged the province would become energy self-sufficient by 2016, with 90 percent of power coming from clean or renewable sources. With B.C. Hydro paying higher rates to private companies for sustainable energy, there has been an economic incentive to develop new projects. However, even with Premier Gordon Campbell pushing for more green energy, companies must take a leap of faith.
"It's very high-risk for the developers because they have to put due-diligence work in ahead of time and they might not get a contract," Dauncey said.
Case in point: NaiKun Wind Energy Group's proposal to build a massive wind farm off Haida Gwaii was shelved in March after over five years of planning.
Simon Fraser University political scientist John Calvert, who wrote the book Liquid Gold: Energy Privatization in British Columbia (Fernwood Publishing, 2007), argues that the government's policy of encouraging private companies to develop sustainable energy has contributed to the lack of progress on wind power in B.C.
"B.C. Hydro was working on the wind file," Calvert told the Straight by phone from his office at SFU. But in 2002, Campbell's newly elected government barred the Crown corporation from getting into wind, he noted. "They essentially handed over all that work to private interests."
Calvert asserted that the recent awarding of wind-power contracts is akin to handing valuable public assets to the private sector. "We're allowing private companies to make use of public land and losing all the most promising locations on Crown land for wind," he said. "Twenty or 30 years from now the public is going to be scratching their heads, wondering why B.C. gave away the future of sustainable energy."
But according to Dauncey, private companies are better suited to developing wind energy. "They have the skills. There's no guarantee that public ownership will lead to sustainable solutions," he said, pointing to B.C. Hydro's controversial proposal of a gas-fired power plant in Nanaimo that didn't go forward in the early 2000s after public opposition.
Dauncey sees wind power as playing a central role in addressing global warming. If B.C. can generate a significant surplus of green energy to export to the U.S., there will be less of a need for coal-fired plants there, he said.
Calvert, on the other hand, worries that the potential for energy exports to the States will lead to further energy privatization. Because wind energy can be unreliable, private companies won't be able to sell it without being backed up by flexible hydropower, which could lead to more control over B.C. Hydro being handed over to private interests, according to Calvert. "The owners of intermittent wind energy are going to want access to storage in order to firm up their energy for sale, which further subsidizes them," he said.
In Dauncey's view, concerns about privatization pale in comparison to the potential impacts of global warming. "People who are opposed to exporting green energy don't understand the severity of global warming," he said. "Every time we do nothing, we have to answer to our grandchildren. Doing nothing is immoral."
While Grouse Mountain's Eye of the Wind may symbolize the future of wind power in B.C., it also illustrates the province's snail-like pace in harnessing this energy source—a dispute with B.C. Hydro over safety regulations has prevented the turbine from producing any power.
Until the stalemate between Grouse and B.C. Hydro is broken, the Eye of the Wind will continue to fulfill only half of its mandate: to remind Vancouverites of the need for sustainable energy.
"We want people to look at it and think, "˜If Grouse could put this together, what can I do?' " Kossowski said.

The cost of transporting and load balancing wind power is so incredibly high that it is really a worthless form of power except in niche markets.
The cost is $12B/Gw average excluding transmission and load balancing costs.
Typical capacity factors of 25% require transmission lines 4 times the size of hydro. Wind is heavily dependant on hydro or natural gas backup.
It destroys incredibly large tracts of land - 8 times as much as site C per average Gw.
Nuclear power on the other hand is $2B/Gw today and is expected to drop to $1B/Gw when we get into the ten to twenty plants a year factory production area.
Nuke plants can be built close to population centres, require minimal transmission builds, use almost no land, and produce extremely valuable dependable power for export.
Instead of spending $65 billion contracting for a little over a Gw of IPP power and another inflation adjusted $23B for .5 Gw of Site C power, Gordo could have copied the latest Candu build at Qinshan China. purchasing the same 1.5Gw avg for $2.9B.
That plant even burns remixed American PWR reactor waste for fuel.
Gordo's wacky renewable schemes are costing us thirty times the nuclear power tariff,
Now thats Gordonomics

yes yes yes I LOVE THE TURBINE as seen from my environs around Main and Broadway.
WE NEED two on Queen E top and build an observation deck between them while educating the public about them AND AS A SYMBOL of what Vancouver is - intelligent, conservationist and willing to do our part.
It's a win win scenario . I should run as Mayor - vote for me!

Seth , you can't be serious. Nuclear power? Go read about Chernobyl or Fukushima. Now add a percentage of those costs to your figures. Then divide the number of nuclear accidents by the number of years that we have had nuclear and forecast those numbers into the future. Add that cost. Oh yeah, don't forget that the actual number of deaths and nuclear disease has been highly skewed in both cases. Also factor in the economies of scale for future accidents. You may now have something close to the true cost of nuclear power. By the way, what dollar figure did you us per death caused? Chernobyls figures range from the thousands to the tens of thousands depending upon your source. Since Japan has NEVER released information regarding the deaths and diseases from Hiroshima and Nagasaki I think that it would be reasonable to assume that they will not be very forthcoming about Fukushima.
While we are on the subject what figures are there for oil and gas related death and disease? Cars with catalytic converters are still releasing benzene into the air. Benzene causes cancer. I don't have space to list all of the health problems associated with oil and gas. These costs are not included when calculating the cost of energy. The costs are borne by the increased taxes for health care and the individuals suffering from the diseases. This does not take into account the grief and anguish that goes along with these fatalities. It will be a long time before we ever find out the true costs of these insane sources of power.


If you missed my first "Turn a food Jar into Spring Decor" post, you can find it HERE! That project used a pickle jar. Today's project uses a Prego Pizza Sauce jar! I've decided to re-use my empty food jars rather than toss them when they're empty!
Since I forgot to snap a pic before I quickly got started tearing the label off, I'm using a generic pizza sauce jar pic. But that was the exact jar I used. It's slightly smaller than a spaghetti sauce jar.
I used an acrylic craft paint for this one as well. Believe it or not, it's a different color than I used for the pickle jar, although they look about the same. When you apply acyrilic color inside of a clear jar, the color outcome is slightly lighter than if you were to use the paint on wood or canvas. Keep that in mind when picking out your color!
First I washed out the jar with soap and water. I didn't let this one sit overnight, because in my experience with my pickle jar, the acrylic paint has it's own smell that definitely takes over any food smell the jar contained. But let it sit awhile, to get most of the food smell out, if not all.
Sometimes labels are hard to peel off of jars, and sometimes they come off in pieces. Use whatever method you've tried or product you've used to help get that gooey residue from the label off of the jar!
It took about half of a small craft paint to completely cover the inside of the jar. I squeeze some paint into the jar, hold the jar horizontally, and turn it so that the paint starts to cover all the way around. I put in a little at a time rather than just squeeze a bunch in there, that way there won't be too much to have to let run out as it dries.
Keep turning and tapping the jar (tapping helps too) and adding a little more paint until all of the glass is covered, then turn it upside down on top of a plastic or paper cup, to let the excess run out, and let it dry.
Then add your twine, or anything else you want to use to finish off the jar!

O tanque de evapotranspiração (TEvap) é um sistema de tratamento simplificado, que pode ser usado para tratamento de águas proveniente de sanitários a nível doméstico.

O TEvap é um sistema baseado em solo e plantas, apresentado como uma alternativa para sistemas convencionais de tratamento de esgotos, consistindo de um tanque retangular impermeável, preenchido com camadas de diferentes substratos e coberto por vegetais de crescimento rápido, como plantas de folhas largas, tais quais bananeiras, mamoeiros ou taiobas.

O TEvap funciona como uma câmara de digestão anaeróbia, em sua parte inferior; e como um banhado construído de fluxo subsuperficial, nas suas camadas intermediária e superior. Tal sistema diminui a necessidade de pós-tratamento do efluente, pois é dimensionado para que o efluente seja totalmente absorvido pelas plantas, em condições normais de funcionamento.

Aplicação
Vários tanques de evapotranspiração foram implementados no Brasil e Estados Unidos com acompanhamentos científicos, a ideia original é atribuída ao permacultor americano Tow Watson, adaptada pelo permacultores brasileiros, principalmente  nos estados de Santa Catarina e no Distrito Federal.

O sistema original proposto por Tow Watson tinha como objetivo tratar o esgoto doméstico, consistia em uma trincheira escavada no solo, com largura e comprimento variáveis e aproximadamente 60 cm de profundidade, para a qual é encaminhado todo o esgoto doméstico – águas cinza e negras.

O esgoto entra através de um tubo, posicionado dentro de um infiltrador, feito com um tambor cortado longitudinalmente ao meio e colocado com a concavidade voltada para baixo, no fundo do tanque, acima de uma camada de 5 cm de pedras porosas.

O restante do volume do tanque é preenchido com uma camada de 45 cm de espessura de pedras, coberta com uma camada de 15 cm de solo, onde são colocadas as plantas. Para melhorar a filtragem do efluente.

Tom Watson recomenda o recobrimento das paredes e do fundo com uma mistura de esterco, argila e palha, permitindo o desenvolvimento de um biofilme composto por bactérias anaeróbias, que funcionaria como filtro biológico. Tal mistura recomendada por Tom ainda deve ter seus efeitos sanitários estudados, no entanto, para se isolar o sistema e impedir a contaminação solo pelo esgoto doméstico, o que pode ser feito é recobrir as paredes com materiais impermeáveis, usados por exemplo na construção civil.

Na porção oposta à entrada do esgoto, próximo à superfície do solo, é colocado um tubo para drenagem do excesso de água.

É atribuída a Tom Watson a indicação de dimensionamento para o sistema de 2 m² de área por pessoa semelhante é, com a recomendação de que o sistema seja inserido em ambiente do tipo jardim de inverno ou casa de vegetação, evitando a entrada de chuvas. É indicado a utilização de plantas que tenham alta demanda por água no interior do tanque e plantas menos exigentes em água no solo ao redor.

Tratamento
No sistema de TEvap há uma câmara anaeróbia dentro do tanque onde as águas residuárias são recebidas.

Esta câmara permite que os sólidos se assentem e sejam parcialmente digeridos, evitando o entupimento dos meios de tanque. Além disso, as telhas e o cascalho usado (ou qualquer outro material grosseiro) servem como meio filtrante e suporte para a formação de biofilme, o que permite considerar o TEvap um sistema 2 em 1.

A água de sanitários entra no sistema por meio de uma câmara de recepção no fundo do tanque, e depois permeia através de camadas de tijolos e rochas. Nesta parte inferior da TEvap ocorre a digestão anaeróbia do efluente. Quando o nível de água no sistema aumenta, as camadas superiores, de cascalho e areia, também se tornam inundadas, até que o nível da água chegue à camada superior, do solo, onde as forças capilares, vento e calor, provoca a eliminação da água por evapotranspiração das raízes e solo, enquanto os nutrientes são removidos por incorporação na biomassa das plantas.

O uso de sistemas plantados pode também contribuir para o aumento da biodiversidade, produção local de alimentos e plantas ornamentais e paisagismo, bem como contribuir para a melhoria do microclima nos bairros.

Vantagens e custos
A fossa verde foi proposta para receber apenas os resíduos domiciliares provenientes da bacia sanitária (água negra). No entanto, devido às condições locais de alguns dos municípios, tais como escassez considerável de água para o consumo e consequentemente do menor volume de água a ser fornecido ao sistema, optou-se por adicionar a ela os efluentes das pias de cozinha e dos ralos de chuveiro (água cinza).

A característica dos esgotos é função dos usos à qual a água foi submetida. Esses usos, e a forma com que são exercidos, variam com o clima, situação social e econômica e hábitos da população.

EA MMA | Review
Synopsis: Fight fans, here is a little review for you as EA Sports has provided us with a copy of EA MMA to let out some of that testosterone in the ring without the pain and swelling. In this title you can create your own character and climb the ranks to become the title holder of the worldwide circuit. You will travel the world to learn a variety of techniques and special moves to work your way up the ranks and train to perfect the basics, ultimately making you a force to be reckoned with. EA Sports has also put a lot of work into the online side of this game giving the player the ability to set up fight cards, broadcast live matches, and fight as either your created character or your favorite MMA fighter. Let's get on with the review, will you submit or dominate the competition?
Praise: After the most recent Fight Night title was released, I have fallen in love with the twin stick fighting style, well that same fighting style is in MMA, however, depending on the modifier buttons used, you can take down, grab, kick, and deliver some match ending moves on your way to the title bout. You can develop your fighter however you see fit, from weight class to fighting style, I was granted full control as to the type of champion I wanted to be. The graphics are amazing and with the lights and atmosphere of the bigger bouts, it is pretty awe inspiring. Fights for the most part are pretty quick and extremely gratifying when you win, especially when you are getting worked, you deliver that one blow to take the opponent by surprise and depending how you handle yourself from there it can be over quickly, the downside is that it goes both ways.
Gripes: First and so very foremost is the online community. This title came out less than a month ago and I have yet to see more than one hundred people playing at any given time, but it is usually less than fifty people playing. While the online gameplay is fun when you can find a match, but when a title that gets its replay value from playing online doesn't have many people playing and you are continuously getting beat by the same people, it isn't as much fun. Building your character, while mostly fun has its downside as you allot your time out of the ring training, but after doing each training exercise you can have it simulate training, which means constantly being smacked into submission with load screens. The roster is also something that I was less than impressed with as I am semi familiar with the MMA fighters, more so with the Thq title's roster but barely able to recognize a handful of those appearing in EA MMA.
Overall, if you are a fighting fan and online gameplay is not important to you then EA MMA might just be the game for you. Being that you are able to create multiple fighters there is a lot of replay value to keep you coming back for more. However, if you are interested in this game to play online against the Xbox community then you may want to pass as you will spend a lot of time looking for matches and even longer trying to find matches against people you have fought yet.
Mashbuttons.com gives EA MMA a 7 out of 10.
EA MMA is available now for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Wii.

Math 'Makes the World More Beautiful': A Professor's Advice on Teaching Math
By Madeline Will — April 14, 2017 4 min read
April is Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month—a time to celebrate teaching math, which can be, as experts say, a "hard sell."
I spoke with Sean Nank, a professor of teaching and learning at the American College of Education and a high school math teacher, about the challenges facing math teachers today, strategies for bridging the gender gap in the classroom, and how mathematics is actually quite beautiful.
On teaching math for a deeper understanding:
Many math teachers are not clasically trained in mathematics, Nank said, but knowing how to understand the conceptual, versus the procedural, helps improve instruction.
But it's challenging at first: "The more you ask why and how [something] works, the worse you do in mathematics," he said. "It takes more time in the beginning, but less time in the long run."
If you teach your students just the procedures, "they're not going to understand it as well," Nank said. "You're going to have to re-teach. But if you spend the time at the conceptual, I think they'll understand the procedural faster."
On the benefits of getting a higher degree:
When math teachers have advanced degrees, they're often able to understand the conceptuals better, as well as the origins of math formulas and their importance, Nank said.
"I'm a firm believer in treating teachers the way you want them to teach their students—not only showing the concepts but also showing the pedagogical methods," he said.
Nank said he noticed an improvement in his own instruction after earning his master's degree and Ph.D. in teaching mathematics.
"Questions [students] would ask that I would answer procedurally, I could have answered conceptually," he said. "But if I didn't know how it relates conceptually, then I couldn't bring it to the classroom itself."
On choosing math curriculum:
Recent textbook reviews from EdReports.org found that a lot of curriculum is still not aligned with the Common Core State Standards for mathematics. Teachers have been gravitating toward open educational resources, like LearnZillion or EngageNY, which Education Week explores in its new report, "Navigating New Curriculum Choices."
"If teachers adopt anything, then we're making a mistake. What teaches need to do is adapt curriculum," Nank said. "The most enlightened mathematician in the world, they haven't been in your classroom with your students. They don't know them like you know them."
On the gender divide in mathematics:
Nank's young daughter once came home from school crying, saying that she wasn't good at math. That jarred Nank into taking a hard look at his own teaching practice to make sure that he was reaching all students.
Women are underrepresented in math majors and careers, and that divide starts early on. A recent longitudinal study found that kindergarten students started out more or less equal in math proficiency, but by 1st grade, a gender gap in math achievement had emerged, and that continued to expand through 2nd grade. Fifteen-year-old girls are also more likely to report feeling math anxiety than boys of the same age, according to the 2012 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA).
"It's embracing less of what works with usually the boys in the classroom"—like memorization and competitive aspects of math—"and start looking at how girls learn mathematics as well," Nank said. Girls might respond well to learning the backgrounds of famous mathematicians, for example—What problems were they trying to solve?
"Are we applying [math concepts] to things that are more masculine? Are we applying it to things that are more neutral or feminine?" he said.
For example, concepts like measurement are often taught by using the example of a football field. But Nank urges teachers to apply math concepts to a range of sports and hobbies. His daughter does dance, and after helping with a routine, he realized that ballet was comprised of so many mathematical concepts: three-quarters of a turn, angles, symmetry.
On the power and 'beauty' of mathematics:
"You can use mathematics to appreciate the beauty of what's around us," Nank said. Understanding mathematical concepts gives you a different perspective of the world, he said—similar to how analyzing literature gives it a deeper meaning.
Look at a rose, Nank says. "You can appreciate the beauty of a rose, but if you know that the petals unfold in a Fibonacci sequence, that brings more beauty to a rose," he said. "Seeing things like that makes the world around us more beautiful."

They say that marriage is a life sentence, though not everyone gets to enjoy what it really means. In his latest venture, McCormac adds fun in the marriage of his two main protagonists as they take on the peculiar cases of two crisscross murders.
Albeit primarily being a fictional investigative book, Jack McCormac's Fetching Fiona and the Sketching Detective Solve the Crisscross Murders goes beyond the pigeonhole of the genre and interjects an adequate amount of humour and rationalization, with the exciting partnership between Fiona and Jack on the side.
The writing of the exchange of dialogues between the couple is just as exciting as it is inspiring, especially so when they go head to head with apparently contradicting facts in the pursuance for the truth behind the murders in Bonnie Glen.
I will like to read this book. the review is very intresting.
