FAQ: What Does Type 1 Construction Mean?
Type 1: Fire-resistive: High-rise buildings made of concrete and protected steel. Type 2: Non-combustible: Newer buildings with tilt slab or reinforced masonry walls and a metal roof. Type 3: Ordinary: New or old buildings with non-combustible walls but a wood-framed roof.
What is Type 1 a construction?
Type 1 structures are constructed of concrete and protected steel (steel coated with a fire resistant material, most often a concrete mixture), and are designed to hold fire for an extended amount of time in order to keep the fire at bay in the room and/or floor of origin. TYPE I-A–Fire Resistive Non-combustible.
What are the 5 types of building construction?
Buildings can be categorized into five different types of construction: fire-resistive, non-combustible, ordinary, heavy timber, and wood-framed.
What is a Type 2 construction?
Type 2 construction is typically found in new buildings and remodels of commercial structures. The walls and roofs are constructed of non-combustible materials. Specifically, walls are usually reinforced masonry or tilt slab, while roofs have metal structural members and decking.
What are the 4 types of construction?
The four major types of construction include residential building, institutional and commercial building, specialized industrial construction, infrastructure and heavy construction.
What is Type 1 and Type 2 Construction?
What is a Type 3 building?
TYPE III – This type of constructed building is also called a brick-and-joist structure by some. It has masonry-bearing walls but the floors, structural framework, and roof are made of wood or other combustible material; for example, a concrete-block building with wood roof and floor trusses.

What is the difference between Type 1a and 1b construction?
Construction Types IA and IB are considered noncombustible and fire resistive. The most significant difference between Type IA and IB is the level of fire resistance required for the building elements, with IA having a higher fire resistance.
What is Type A or B construction?
The main difference between the Type I-A and B is that the Type I-B building has exterior walls and a structural frame that only has to resist fire for two hours, rather than the three hours of the Type I-A.
How do you determine construction type?
What to ask: To determine the ISO class of the building, we must therefore know the following composition of the building elements:
Structural frame.
Bearing walls (interior and exterior)
Floor construction.
Roof construction.
What the fire rating of the materials.
What is Type C construction?
There are three types of construction, namely A, B and C, which are determined by the building's class and rise in storeys. Type C includes buildings that have a lower risk and is therefore the least fire resistant.
What is a Class 3 structure?
Structure Class III: Structures that due to height, use or location represent a substantial hazard to human life and/or damage to property in the event of failure and/or used primarily for essential communications.
What is Type V construction?
Type V construction is a fairly broad classification. It uses any structural element constructed from a material permitted by the code. Most wood-frame structures, including one- and two-family residences, fall in this category. Type V- Wood Frame Buildings may be used for single- or multiple-family dwelling units.

What is structure type B?
Class B: Reinforced Concrete Frame Class B buildings are fire-resistant structures. Floors and roofs in class B structures are formed or precast concrete slabs. The exterior walls, generally, are masonry or reinforced concrete curtain walls or any of the many types of wall panels of concrete, metal, glass or stone.

New £20 note unveiled
The Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, has unveiled the design of the new £20 note featuring the artist JMW Turner. The new note will be launched on 20 February 2020 and will join the current £5 and £10 notes in being printed on polymer, a thin flexible plastic. The new plastic £20 note will include a number of new security features including two windows and a two-colour foil, making it very difficult to counterfeit.
The Governor said:
'Our banknotes celebrate the UK's heritage, salute its culture, and testify to the achievements of its most notable individuals. And so, it is with the new £20 banknote, featuring JMW Turner, launched today at Turner Contemporary in Margate. Turner's contribution to art extends well beyond his favourite stretch of shoreline. Turner's painting was transformative, his influence spanned lifetimes, and his legacy endures today. The new £20 note celebrates Turner, his art and his legacy in all their radiant, colourful, evocative glory.'
Once the new plastic £20 note is launched, the process of withdrawing the current paper £20 notes from circulation will begin. The paper £20 notes will remain as legal tender until they are withdrawn. The exact date that the paper notes are to be withdrawn has not yet been announced but at least 6 months in advance notice will be given. It has already been confirmed that a new £50 note will be issued in 2021, featuring Alan Turing, completing the updating of all current Bank of England banknotes.

For over a decade, I have supported and collaborated with Three Generations, and for the past three years, I have been proud to serve on its board. The work of this organization does an invaluable service to our society and our world, by sharing stories of tragedy, resilience and survival. Three Generations calls attention to under-reported yet necessary stories that help us better understand the challenges we face, whether its genocide, war, human trafficking, or mass incarceration. I am grateful that Three Generations exists and am committed to helping it continue to thrive and tell the stories that we all need to hear.
NRB342 Board Member 09/12/2018
I was moved to contact 3Generations after seeing one of their films, which moved me so much that I knew I needed to act. That is the power of the work that 3G does. By remaining small-staffed and nimble, they are able to focus their resources toward their mission of making stories that tell urgent stories in a way that fundamentally moves audiences and connects them to issues that need our attention. In a cultural and media environment that is saturated with stories, 3G takes the TIME to work with survivors in a way that respects and honors their stories, and tells stories that reflect the complexity of the issues they deal with. This is a massively important contribution to a landscape of story where too often people are reduced to soundbites and stories are compressed to headlines.
I am honored to be on the board of Three Generations because the films they produce and curate are incredibly powerful, and provide survivors of human rights abuses the opportunity to tell their stories in their own words, with dignity and humanity. If these survivors have the courage to speak out, we must have the courage to hear them, and to act - I support 3G because they take on tough issues like child sex slavery, and because I believe the stories that result move audiences to act. I hope others get involved - watch the videos, share them with your networks, and support the storytelling work of 3G.
awells22 Board Member 09/12/2018
I have been involved with Three Generations since its inception ten years ago. To see the evolution of this organization from its earliest days to the present is to see an incredible story of growth and progress. That growth and progress has allowed survivors of atrocities and other abuses to have a platform, to share their experiences, and to raise awareness of the injustices they have faced. Their stories would not be available to us without Three Generations, and the high quality content, both short and long form, that they have executed for a decade to greater and greater effect. I could not not be more proud of this organization, and wish only I could share it with more people.
From revealing the atrocities of the genocide in Darfur to spreading the truth about Chinese oppression in Tibet, 3Generations shares with the public the stories of those who survive the world's worst crimes against humanity. Using survivors' own testimony to explain abuses, 3Generations is able to both spread their story, and to help victims heal through sharing. By spreading awareness using real stories of human rights abuses, 3Generations is able to connect with the public on a more visceral level. In doing so, 3Generations seeks to raise awareness, and call to action those who become moved by the stories of survivors.

Terrific champions of those causes that don't get high profile attention. Love this non-profit.
FAL206 Board Member 09/09/2018
3 Generations had an incredible year in 2017 - they released three social justice feature films [A Different American Dream, A System of Justice, and Lost in Lebanon] and will be pre-screening the fourth [Pot Luck: The Altered State of Colorado] at their 10th Anniversary celebration in September 2018. I've supported the organization over the years and for the past couple have proudly served as a board member. I look forward to continuing to help 3 Generations with their important work of telling stories and demanding change.
FAL206 Donor 10/28/2015
Three Generations is one of my all time favorite non-profit organizations. The content they produce is thought-provoking and attention grabbing without being sensational. I had the opportunity to see how they interacted with the subjects of a few of their films and stories, and I was very touched by the tenderness and respect they showed throughout the documentary process. Terrific organization and I will continue to support them in any way I can.
The videos and stories that 3 Generations produces to expose human rights abuse like child sex slavery are so important. Many people aren't aware that child sex slavery exists in the United States and raising awareness about the issue is critical to ending it. I've shared 3 Generations videos with my friends and they've all commented on how well the videos and the website explain the situation and provide ways to get involved. This is a great organization!

3generations dedication to the truth and approaching the subject matter ethically and compassionately is exactly what we need in the current political climate. Keep up the good work!
dbrandel General Member of the Public 09/07/2018
3 Generations tells the stories that would otherwise never be told; the stories that are difficult to hear but so important for all of us to know. We need more organizations like 3 Generations to bring the critical issues of today to the forefront.
Writer Professional with expertise in this field 09/07/2018
3 Generations makes the underserved, underrepresented and victims of unfathomable human rights abuses their sole concern and focus. They give a voice to these people and makes them the spokespeople of the organization. The films that 3 G produces shows populations that are normally forgotten and brings their stories to the masses. I cannot say enough about the amazing work and impact that 3 Generations has.
Writer General Member of the Public 09/07/2018
Three Generations is an extraordinary nonprofit with goals that far exceed any in the documentary film arena. Giving voices to those who would otherwise not have one, esp. victims of unfathomable circumstances is an incredible outlet for the individuals and themes themselves but for ensuring their stories ripple through to society to help us all be more understanding, empathetic, and most importantly AWARE!!!
smcdonald Professional with expertise in this field 09/05/2018
As a true agent of change in the world, Three Generations demands us to be educated in human rights abuse and inspires us to act. Not only do they provide a platform for victims of injustice to tell their stories, but they also act as a catalyst to help victims heal. Their work has never been as important as it is today.

I saw "Lost in Lebanon" at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival, and the film truly opened my eyes to the humanity within the Syrian refugee crisis. One of the refugees was sponsored to get out of Lebanon after his story was seen. As part of the screening, there was a Q&A with a representative of the United Nations. This company is clearly making real changes in public policy and in the way society views social injustices.
Biron B. Professional with expertise in this field 10/14/2017
The people at three generations possess something that is missing in modern American society. A sense of empathy, and a sense of responsibility toward others. I have immensely enjoyed all the time I have spent with them. They are dedicated People with huge hearts.

I just recently watched "Tricked" on Netflix, and it opened my eyes to how sex trafficking is a crime committed in our own backyards that the public is often ignorant to. It made me want to look into other films from 3 Generations and see what social issues they bring to light.
I went to the screening of 3 Generations film "Lost in Lebanon" at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival in June and I was extremely impressed with how they told the stories of Syrian Refugees. Looking forward to seeing more of there films in the future.
jbrandel Volunteer 08/07/2017
I've known 3G and its staff for a year now and it was one of the most, if not the most, hard working group of people out there. It's a tight knit group of people whose mission really is to give the marginalized people out there a voice. Not only is everyone always working to further that goal, but everyone is truly passionate about it; it comes out in the films and video testimonies. Everything that comes out of 3G really works to illuminate the circumstances of issues and people that are often forgotten in the U.S. While people often talk about the generalities of poverty or genocide, 3G shows you those very people it affects and gives these stories a face.
Marie188 General Member of the Public 08/07/2017
I follow 3 Generations on facebook and I love how they challenge the status quo and continue to highlight important news about extremely important topics like the oppression of Native Americans rights and genocide that continues to happen every day.
calmiller Volunteer 07/31/2017
3 Generations' mission is unlike most other non-profits, but the act of sharing stories through film is incredibly rewarding. The organization is incredibly driven to find new stories and topics to help raise awareness and take action to fight against abuses. Three Generations' work is vital to ameliorating human rights abuses, and I hope their excellent work continues far into the future!
Volunteer3G Volunteer 07/31/2017
I have voluteered for 3 Generations so I am very familiar with this organization. They truly advocate for the truth and serve to give voice to the voiceless. Through this organization, I learned a great deal about a variety of issues effecting our world today. They have helped bring light to the stories of some of the 20 million victims of sex trafficking worldwide through their feature, Tricked (available on Netflix) as well as content on their site. They have brought about environmental awareness and activism through content on the melting glaciers of Greenland and Standing with Standing Rock as well as their most recent feature, A Different American Dream. They bring attention to human rights issues and violations, most recently in collaboration with the Scott Sisters on their feature documentary on Syrian refugees living in Lebanon, Lost in Lebanon. Its also very important to mention, they have been instumental in bringing one of the seminal documentaries on the Holocaust to North America, with their distribution of German Concentration Camps Factual Survey. In these dark times, the world needs more organizations like 3 Generations, dedicated to social awareness and justice.

New report makes case for spending review to back the bus
'Spending Review will decide whether bus strategy aspirations will be met'
Report shows current funding falls well short of what will be needed for levelling up
A new report by the Urban Transport Group has shown that the Spending Review will need to make significantly more funding available for bus if the aspirations of the national bus strategy, and the Government's wider levelling up agenda, are to be to met.
The report (Back the Bus to Level Up: The case for bus revenue funding and reform of how it is provided) uses the Urban Transport Group's Metropolitan Bus Model (the most sophisticated bus policy modelling tool currently available) to look at what levels of additional revenue funding would be needed in the six largest city regions outside London if the bus strategy's goals for more extensive and cheaper bus networks are to be met.
The model found that if revenue support for bus services in the six largest city regions increased by between £1.7 billion and £2.3 billion a year above pre-pandemic levels then bus services and networks could be significantly enhanced (by between 145% and 165%) to serve more places, more frequently, more of the time. Fares could also be reduced (by between 10 and 20%). This in turn would drive growth in patronage of between 15 and 34 per cent by 2026/27. This would meet key objectives of the national bus strategy.
At present the Government has pledged £3bn to transforming bus services (alongside funding designed to support existing networks). How this funding is to be allocated is as yet unclear. However, if the £3bn were divided equally between capital and revenue, by transport authorities and by year this would amount to less than £6.5 million a year in additional bus revenue funding for each of the city regions. The report concludes that this would not be sufficient to meet the objectives of the national bus strategy.
The report also shows a better deal for bus from the Spending Review would represent excellent value for money achieving multiple public policy goals including key Government objectives for levelling up and carbon reduction.
The report finds that: 'The bus is intrinsically targeted at the people and places most in need of support to level up' and quotes the National Bus Strategy which says that 'buses are vital to ensuring the economy meets Net Zero carbon emissions.'
The report also calls for a review of DfT spending priorities and says:
'There are…wider choices to be made within the finite DfT budget…In particular the £27 billion National Road Programme which cannot match the environmental, social and economic benefits that supporting bus services can bring.'
Chair of the Urban Transport Group, Laura Shoaf, said:
"We share the national bus strategy's aspirations for more, better and cheaper bus services and we will do everything in our power to deliver these objectives. However, in the context of driver shortages, the long shadow of the pandemic and the decline that was taking place nationally in bus use prior to the pandemic, the Spending Review needs to back the national bus strategy through a further step change in funding for bus. Otherwise, we risk the bus strategy being a false start rather than the starting gun for the revival of the urban bus that we all want to see."
The report also makes the case for reform of the way bus funding is currently routed and targeted. It describes the way in which additional bus funding has been provided during the pandemic as 'patch and mend' of an existing pre-pandemic system of bus funding which has 'no consistent or coherent objectives' and which leaves transport authorities unable to plan and oversee wider public transport networks in the public and passenger interest.
On funding it finds that: 'The national bus strategy has transformed the context for bus funding by significantly raising aspirations for the sector and by giving Local Transport Authorities a key role in its local delivery. The approach to bus funding has not kept pace with the transformation on national bus policy that has occurred.'
It calls for bus funding to be simplified and devolved to those Local Transport Authorities which wish to take it on by April 2022 in a way which reflects the costs of achieving the objectives of the national bus strategy but also allows city region transport authorities to target funding in the most effective way, consistent with local circumstances and aspirations.


The output characteristics of the one-dimensional In0.3Ga0.7As solar cells irradiated by a continuous wave (CW) laser with a wavelength of 1070 nm are studied by the finite element numerical simulation method. The validity of the model is verified by the calculation of the distribution of the recombination rate of the internal carrier in solar cells under a zero-bias. The effect of the bias voltage on the carrier recombination rate distribution and the influence of the structure of the solar cell on the photoelectric conversion performance are studied, and the current density-voltage curve of the solar cell is obtained under a laser power density of 100 mW·cm-2. The research results show that, with the increase of the forward bias, the recombination rate in the space charge region increases rapidly, so the forward bias is the main factor which influences the conversion efficiency. The short-circuit current of the cell decreases exponentially with the increase of the depth of the pn junction, however the open circuit voltage increases first and then tends to saturation with the increase of the thickness of the base area. These results provide a reference for the design of solar cells.

Nebuchadnezzar was one of the most powerful and longest-reigning monarchs of ancient Babylon. Through his many military campaigns, he became ruler over an extensive empire. Embarking on a monumental building programme, the Chaldean king erected magnificent buildings and raised up huge parks, pristine gardens, new canals and waterways.
Though he was a heathen king, God extended grace to him on a few occasions, one of which is recorded in Daniel Chapter 3.
In Daniel Chapter 3, Nebuchadnezzar manifested his pride and tyranny when he commanded a golden image to be built – one that would reflect the greatness of Babylon as well as his reverence for the god he worshipped (v 1). "The image was that of Bel, the Babylonian tutelary god; or rather, Nebuchadnezzar himself, the personification and representative of the Babylonian empire" (J F Brown Commentary).
The narrative continues with the gathering of "the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up" (v 2).
The dedication of the image of gold was to be done with solemn music – "the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick" (v 5). Added to the command was a threat of death for those who defied the king's decree: "And whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace" (v 6).
We are told in verse 7 that all who were present at the dedication of the golden image "fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up". However, three young Jewish captives – Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego – refused to bow before the image. Responding in "rage and fury" (v 13), Nebuchadnezzar warned them of the dire consequences of resisting his command. At the same time, he gave them another opportunity to comply with his decree: "Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?" (v 15).
But the three Jews remained unfazed. They gave the king a firm and calm answer which reflected their godly devotion and their unwillingness to compromise their faith: "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. 17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king" (vv 16-17).
It is clear from their answer that Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego had resolved to honour God, and saw no need to furnish reasons for their non-compliance: "… we are not careful to answer thee in this matter" (v 16). From their response, we note that they did not speak reproachfully of the king nor the image he had set up. Neither did they murmur against his injustice or tyranny. Determined to be true to God, they calmly committed the cause to Him Who "is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace" (v 17). Should God choose not to deliver them, "we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up" whatever the consequences might be (v 18).
When faced with a difficult situation, let us, like these faithful men, speak wisely and sensitively. Resolve to be true to the Lord and leave the matter with Him Who knows best how to guide and help us, even in the face of death.
Angered by the bold defiance of his young prisoners, Nebuchadnezzar commanded that the furnace be heated up seven more times (v 19). The heat was so intense that the men who cast Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego into the fire died (v 22). However, the three Hebrews survived the fiery ordeal unscathed. Not even a hair of their heads had been singed nor was there the smell of smoke upon their clothes (v 27).
Interestingly, while witnessing the execution, the king saw a fourth man in the fire. Amazed and "astonied" he testified that "the form of the fourth is like the Son of God" (v 25). The appearance of the Son of God – Jesus Christ Himself – caused Nebuchadnezzar to acknowledge that the deliverance was a miracle, wrought by the awesome power of God.
What was the impact of this miraculous deliverance upon Nebuchadnezzar? Calling out to the three Hebrews, he addressed them as "servants of the most high God" (v 26). He then blessed the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego "who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God" (v 28). So impressed was the king by this demonstration of God's almighty power that he immediately passed a decree forbidding any one from speaking against the Hebrew God. He also promoted the three faithful servants (vv 29-30).
God had dealt very graciously with this proud heathen ruler. Nebuchadnezzar saw with his own eyes, not only the power of the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, but the Son of God Himself. Though he promptly issued a royal edict to preserve the name of the God of the Jews, and to promote the young men, his heart was not touched by the grace of God till some years later. Sadly, despite the Lord's forbearance with him, Nebuchadnezzar was still a stranger to divine grace at this point in time.

FODOR'S Names Top 5 New York City Activities For Teens
"Traveling with hard-to-please teens can be trying, even when aided by the bright lights and WOW-FACTOR sights of a big city like New York. While the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, and American Museum of Natural History are not-to-be-missed staples for first-time visitors, there are some teen-primed attractions that are worth exploring if you dig a little deeper. We've rounded up five TEEN-TESTED-AND-APPROVED attractions to keep everyone happy and occupied on your next family trip to New York City."
# 3 – THE RIDE
"Part tour bus, part theatrical production, THE RIDE, is a concept all its own. Pile in for this 75-minute interactive show ($64–$74 per ticket) on wheels that pairs an animated duo of bantering on-board HOSTS (Stand-Up and Improvisational Comedy PROS) with a slate of scripted performances that unfold on the city streets. THE RIDE, a moving theater of sorts, showcases a cast of featured street performers, including a tap-dancer, free-styling rapper, ballerina, and more— along with the never-ending stream of New Yorkers who unwittingly become part of the entertainment. Take in key sights and hear funny commentary on Midtown mainstays like Central Park, Grand Central Station, Bryant Park, the Chrysler Building, and Times Square. The technologically tricked-out multi-million dollar motor coach features stadium-style seating for up to 49 patrons, plenty of audio-visual flair (including 40 plasma screens), floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and even a high-tech hydraulics system for guests to experience a simulated ride along a stretch of NYC subway."

ABOUT FODOR'S
FODOR'S is the world's largest publisher of English language travel and tourism information, and the first professional producer of travel guidebooks. Fodor's Travel andFodors.com are divisions of Random House, Inc.
Los Angeles hosts The Universal Studios Hollywood Tour. Leavesden, England has recently opened Warner Brothers' The Making of Harry Potter Tour. New York City owns THE RIDE, which has become the singularly most requested ticket at Travel Agents' offices all over the country. The concept is a brainstorm of design that has resulted in a fleet of multi-million dollar motor coaches whose interiors are a state-of-the-art wonderland of electronic wizardry that guide 49 dazzled tourists around the most fascinating city in the world. THE RIDE'S original genius was its realization that the streets of Manhattan are a fifty-mile stage exhibiting the most riveting visuals on earth. Adding its own actors to the crowded mix on the street, the huge motor coaches deliver a show worthy of the standing ovations and group euphoria that results at the end of each RIDE. The motor coaches are events in their own right. They are specifically designed theatrical vehicles; the tallest allowed by federal law, fitted with stadium-style seating that orients the 49 fortunate participants sideways so as to look through the massive windows that deliver New York as the most successful Broadway show on earth. These unanimously acclaimed coaches are equipped with surround sound, 3,000 LED lights and 40 video screens. They are, in essence, rolling state-of-the-art theatres that introduce their travelling audiences to an interactive experience that only the most interactive city in the western hemisphere could deliver. Each motor coach's external speakers and lighting allow riders and on-board performers to interact with THE RIDE'S street performers as well as anyone else they pass on the street. THE RIDE is an EVENT whether you are on the bus or on the street. But it's better on the bus. A fact mightily agreed upon by both Broadway critics and audiences alike.

Q: Session data disappear when using sess_use_database in codeigniter Im creating a authentication for my web (currently im using codeigniter as my php framework).
How come when i set TRUE in the  $config['sess_use_database'] = TRUE;
my session data's disappears and doesn't display in part of the page. Im trying to display the username of the person who login to the site.
When the $config['sess_use_database'] = FALSE; the username displays in the page.
anyone experience this problem? how can i resolve this?

A: In CodeIgniter 2, the ci_sessions table needs to be slightly different.
Specifically the size of user_agent has gone from varchar 50 to varchar 120. Make sure you use this basic prototype if you are using CodeIgniter 2 with sess_use_database set to TRUE:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS  `ci_sessions` (
session_id varchar(40) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
ip_address varchar(16) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
user_agent varchar(120) NOT NULL,
last_activity int(10) unsigned DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
user_data text NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (session_id),
KEY `last_activity_idx` (`last_activity`)
);

via http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/sessions.html

A: You need to create database table to store session data:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS  `ci_sessions` (
session_id varchar(40) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
ip_address varchar(16) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
user_agent varchar(50) NOT NULL,
last_activity int(10) unsigned DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
user_data text DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (session_id)
);

And then set $config['sess_table_name'] = 'ci_sessions';

the name is mikey and i WAS a banker from philli, U.S.
after 7 drops of pure lysergic I entered into a new world. a world of :sun: :peace: and :punk: What a night!
The music pumped, i grooved and felt the universe functioning perfectly.
I have now decided to move to India, the heart of trance and become a sadhu. I'm told to do this I have to give up all my worldly possesions.
Now here is the $17, 659, 003 . 69 question (i just checked my bank balance). Who do I give my money to?
Or should I keep it in case it doesnt work?
Hmmm, lets see...with the current non-magic-bean type value of the US Dollar these days that'll be about 8 quid then?
Oh g'wan, I'll have it.
You're that same bloke who pretended to be from McDonalds aren't you?
not quite sure what you mean by that Mr Do. I know McDonalds and CitiBank are pretty similar to each other in a corporate sense of the word but whilst there's a lot of money floating round McDonalds we do not make hamburgers.
8 quid eh? i'll have to think about it!
no mate that was me. aint nobody gonna take credit for my handywork!
I'd say give it to charity.
I'm sorry but I really dont know what you're talking about. perhaps i need to do some research on this forum.
I dont want to upset anyone but I am new to all this.
I would also be very keen to discuss my recent mind shattering experience with anybody who wants to as nothing like this has ever happened to me before and I am a bit bewildered by the whole thing.
were you a Merchant Banker... ?
Just to put certain rumours to bed, I received a private message from benni fli who although seeming a little strange wants me to assure any doubters that we are NOT the same person, though apparently our writing style is similar!
I have booked my ticket to Delhi and am going to look into the possibilities of becoming a sadhu though i have been informed it is not an easy process.
I suggest you give it to charity and as i have connections with many charities around the world, i suggest myself as a good starting point.
If you're a high-flying US exec chap, how come you're using the UK's forum? Is the reputation of this place that widespread?
EDIT: I just reread your original post. Sounds like a load of toss.
want to buy some white powder ?
look, people, either we are very untrusting of unusual people (possible) or they are some really nasty people trying to get us to look like a load of fools (more likely) but what i don't understand is why people think its funny to do this??? Its the most un-funny sense of humor i have ever come across... imagine if someone DID have 17million to spare... imagine the things that could be done for the world.... not too much, but a consiberable amount... and i really don't find it funny, i just find it sad. and i wish the people doing it would stop it because they really shouldnt pretend things like this.

Top Ten Books on Los Angeles History
Bound for Freedom: Black Los Angeles in Jim Crow America
Los Angeles has emerged from a small pueblo in the Spanish colonial backwater to become one of the most recognizable and populous cities in the United States. Los Angeles is an idea, the butt of many jokes, and a topic of serious academic inquiry. Historians have studied Los Angeles for over a century. In terms of historical scholarship, Los Angeles sits at an interesting spot. Its history can be explored from Indigenous, Spanish, and American points of view, it can be on a colonial or modern reading list, regionally it is the Spanish north, American West, and Pacific Rim. When looking at race relations in Los Angeles, we see a diversity that is characteristic of the American west, and contrary to the racial dichotomy in the American South.
For those who are interested in studying the history of Los Angeles, these ten books below are a start. These ten books cover a variety of themes and topics that get at the heart of this unique place. In no particular order:
Carey McWilliams, Southern California: An Island on the Land (Layton: Gibbs Smith, Publisher, 1946).
Carey McWilliams is easily his own subject of study when it comes to Los Angeles History. This journalist, editor, and lawyer is one of the most well known figures among Southern California historians and enthusiasts. McWilliams was a prolific writer and wrote extensively on Southern California. Southern California: An Island on the Land is widely regarded as one of the best works on Los Angeles in the 1920-1940s. It details many of the unique personalities in Los Angeles at the time, and also gives thoughtful consideration to minorities as well--unique considering this was first published in the 1940s. If you would like an overview of Los Angeles from someone who was there are the time, this book may be just what you're looking for. You may be frustrated by McWilliams' lack of footnotes, though.
Douglas Flamming, Bound for Freedom: Black Los Angeles in Jim Crow America (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2006).
One of the most enduring myths about California is that African Americans did not experience as much racism or hostility there as in the South. In Bound for Freedom Flamming provides one of the most comprehensive studies of African American Los Angeles from the late 19th century to World War II. He illustrates that for most African Americans, when they came to Los Angeles, they came to a city that was half-free. Not as violent as the Jim Crow South, but just as racist. Ultimately, Flamming argues that the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s would have been unfeasible were it not for the work of African American activists in his study. This book is well-researched and quite thorough. If you're interested in African American history or the history of the Civil Rights Movement, you will likely enjoy this book.
Colonial Intimacies: Interethnic Kinship, Sexuality, and Marriage in Southern California, 1769-1885
Erika Pérez, Colonial Intimacies: Interethnic Kinship, Sexuality, and Marriage in Southern California, 1769-1885 (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2018).
In this book, Pérez explores colonization and power through intimate relationships. She explains how everyday interactions illuminate larger ideas about the colonial projects that frame them. Pérez also looks at the children produced through these interethnic relationships to explain how their experiences with colonialism were different than their parents'--and that this was often related to their sex, and what economic opportunities they might have. This is one of the more recent books on this list, yet it covers the earliest period, chronologically. Those who are interested in the history of imperialism or colonialism may be interested in this book.
Daniel Hurewitz, Bohemian Los Angeles and the Making of Modern Politics (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2008).
If you read this book with George Chauncey's Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940 you would have a thorough understanding of the pre-Civil Rights Movement history of the gay community on the East and West coasts. Hurewitz uncovers the story of this movement from a group of artists, leftists, and gay men and women who, together, began to formulate ideas that we might now call "identity politics." This book uses an assortment of records to tell this story, and Hurewitz argues that the legacy of these people is still significant in American politics today.
William F. Deverell, Whitewashed Adobe: The Rise of Los Angeles and the Remaking of its Mexican Past (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2004).
In focusing on several key points in Los Angeles history, Deverell explores the process through which Los Angeles became modern, white, and American. Deverell argues that this process took place from the late 19th century through the early 20th century and occurred through the selective erasure and obliteration of its Mexican past. If you're interested in the history of memory, this book provides a fascinating perspective on how places are remembered, or how histories of places are created.
Becky M. Nicolaides, My Blue Heaven: Life and Politics in the Working-Class Suburbs of Los Angeles, 1920-1965 (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2002).
In My Blue Heaven Nicolaides lays out the early history of suburbanization near Los Angeles--focusing on the suburb of South Gate. Nicolaides explains how some of these early homeowners in this blue-collar area built their homes from the ground up. Over time, as the are became more diverse, and especially as it was geographically situated next to the African-American community of Watts during the Civil Rights Movement, homeowners in South Gate became increasingly became interested in protecting their homes. However, this was not just about literally protecting their homes, rather they were also concerned with what their homes represented: self-reliance and white homeowner rights.
Nathaniel West, The Day of the Locust (New York: Random House, 1939).
While this may be a novel and part of our Western Canon, it can also be considered a loose primary source. In The Day of the Locust West writes about Hollywood during the Great Depression. The novel is from the perspective of the protagonist Tod Hackett, and the tone for much of the book is despondent and cynical. In the novel, all of the characters are shallow, and all have come to Hollywood to make it big. The city is full of outcasts and rejects and West is critical of the masses and popular culture. Where this seems like a primary source is in its discussion of the American dream and its elusiveness--particularly for Americans who were negatively affected by the Great Depression. Similarly, a significant number of people did try to move to Los Angeles during this period because the movies that came from Hollywood seemed to suggest that the Depression had not reached Tinseltown. Nevertheless, it had.
Popular Culture in the Age of White Flight: Fear and Fantasy in Suburban Los Angeles
Eric Avila, Popular Culture in the Age of White Flight: Fear and Fantasy in Suburban Los Angeles (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2006) and Genevieve Carpio, Collissions at the Crossroads: How Place and Mobility Make Race (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2019).
These two books are side-by-side and complement each other in specific ways. Carpio explores how mobility helped to define race by looking at specific ordinances and policies. Race often determined how easily one was able to move in and out of specific spaces. At the same time, Avila's work explores the racialization of public entertainment after World War II. Both books speak to the racialization of space--whether that is the suburbs, Disneyland, or boarding schools.
George J. Sanchez, Becoming Mexican American: Ethnicity, Culture, and Identity in Chicano Los Angeles, 1900-1945 (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1995).
In this groundbreaking work, Sanchez explains the formation of Mexican identity in Los Angeles the first half of the 20th century. Sanchez traces this process by looking at the lives of Mexican immigrants to the city and follows the identity of these individuals from migrant to eventually resident. Sanchez explores Mexican Americans' adaptation, accommodation, and resilience through religion, kinship, and consumerism. Of note is Sanchez's exploration of this topic during the Repatriation campaign of the Depression. If you are interested in Latino historiography, this book should be at the top of your list.

This story was updated with the price of the sale following the release of financial filings in January.
Regional Group announced Tuesday it has acquired the Postmedia building currently home to the Ottawa Citizen and the Ottawa Sun.
The 186,000-square-foot Postmedia building at 1101 Baxter Rd. sits adjacent to Highway 417, which the Regional Group press release calls a "path of future growth" with opportunities for development. The building was sold for $21 million in gross proceeds according to financial filings released in January.
Employees of the two local publications will not be moving from their current workplace, according to the release. However, office space inside the building will be consolidated to allow for 25,000-to-35,000 square feet of space, which Regional Group intends to lease.
Sender Gordon, director of investments and leasing at Regional Group, said in a statement that keeping the building's current tenants was imperative to the acquisition.
"The Ottawa Citizen and Ottawa Sun newspapers are local mainstays, and we were happy to work out a plan that allows them to transition through this change," Gordon said.
Postmedia has gone through several rounds of layoffs in recent years, including a 10 per cent payroll cut announced in June 2018. It also shut down six newspapers this year as part of the cuts.
Since 2010, the national media organization has gone from 5,400 employees to fewer than 3,000, CEO Paul Godfrey told BNN Bloomberg in November. The company's revenue fell to $676.3 million in 2018 compared to $754.3 million in 2017.

Episode 19 – Connections and Confidence – 2 Pieces of the New Health Writer Business Puzzle with Shawna Kratochwill
Shawna Kratochwill is with us today talking about her biggest takeaways from her recent coaching experience. Shawna is a brand new health writer, a beginner writer, walking you through her journey, starting with The Savvy Scribe Growth Lab and The Savvy Scribe Collective.
I relate a lot to Shawna's story of starting out in the health writing world. A little beginner insight for those who think they might be ready to escape the burnout at the bedside as a nurse.
What Is It Like to Be a New Health Writer
Shawna has done a lot of things. Most of her RN experience has been in critical care hospitals. The awesome thing in critical hospitals is that it's a small hospital and you get to dip your hands in every unit and every situation. And since last May, she's working in long term care. She also started her own website in January.
In early 2018, she had a traumatic experience as a nurse. She was assaulted by one of her patients, so she started looking for a non-bedside nursing opportunity. And she was thinking along the lines of maybe doing an insurance claim, something like that because she didn't know that medical writing was even a thing. So, while she was on Pinterest searching, Carol and I kept popping up as nurse entrepreneurs on her screen and we introduced her to medical writing as a second career for nurses.
She had done writing as a staff nurse. She was on a committee that she was writing policies, protocols and evidence based. She really liked it and people liked her things that she has written. She always liked writing, so it just kind of converged on all her experiences.
During her journey, Shawna had made connections and confidence. Connections and confidence are 2 pieces of the new health writer business. Confidence is an effective proxy for engagement and can be easily measured in oneself. She lives for her entire life like enforcing the things that she believes and her coaching experience is giving her confidence to go forward and to run her own business. She trusted her own voice and started making connections with people in this space, and when she's a new health writer, The Savvy Scribe Growth Lab guided her when she felt like she didn't know what she's doing.
Shawna will just keep diving into the medical writing career. She wants to grow her heartbeat content website to start shifting her income source because in 2020 her ultimate goal is to be her own boss.
I feel like connections and confidence are two mission pieces a lot of the time. You don't have the connection and you don't have the confidence because you're a new health writer? It's okay, we'll try to guide you through that. But truly it's in yourself, if you don't have the motivation, it's hard to get through it. You also have to be organized, like you have to have some strategic plan on how to get there and where to find the time.
Shawna Kratochwill
Keep looking out for Shawna because she's going places and we will definitely do another recap with Shawna when she's full time and see how her journey is going.

Hebrews 12:10 [Fathers] disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. 11No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Daniel had a rough evening out on Sunday, topped off by cleaning the restaurant windows. (He gave me permission to share with you.) While the adults had a good chuckle, we have all been there as kids, this was no laughing matter for Daniel. He felt embarrassed and ticked at all of the adults. He wasn't quite getting the point of the lesson.
The young waitress had waved off my request for Windex and paper towels, assuring us that she could handle the mess my kids had made. But the owner, overhearing my request, knew that I was wanting to teach my kids to respect other people's property and to take responsibility for themselves. "Your not a mom," she told the waitress "this is important." She brought out the requested cleaning supplies and put my kids to work.
I asked Daniel why the owner should clean up after the mess he and Natalie made? His eyes widened as he looked at the window, and he no longer denied the evidence. His prints were everywhere. He and Natalie were just having fun, they weren't thinking about causing someone else more work.
Most of Christianity is not a list of don'ts, in fact I'd argue that scripture teaches us to be gentle, kind, loving, and thoughtful to all we encounter. The children, certainly weren't being bad, and this was not a sin issue. Windex moments are a chance for God to expand our compassion towards other and catch patterns in our lives that may lead to sin.
I still have Windex moments. Especially ,when my temper–I try to blame my Irish ancestors– gets the better of me. Like the waitress, I would be more than happy to let God or others clean up my mess, or let my lack of awareness slide. After all I didn't mean to, or I was abused as a child so my actions are justified. But, gratefully God brings out the rag and Windex. He brings me into awareness and helps me to mature in faith.
Monday morning I came downstairs to see Daniel already up, Windex in hand, cleaning my patio windows, grinning from ear to ear. I am so grateful for Windex moments that teach us to better love others.
Parents Note: Next time I'll try to save the chuckles for later.


I'm really not a germaphobe, but something happens to me when I cut and cook raw chicken. My husband says I become obsessive: I refuse to touch the sink handle without a paper towel in my hand, and I don't want to grab a paper towel and touch the top of the dispenser without washing my hands first — but I can't do that without holding the bottle of soap with chicken-laden hands. You get the picture. It's not pretty.
Lucky for me, touch-free devices can help get me through my somewhat obsessive behavior, from the garbage pail to the kitchen sink.
Moen's MotionSense faucets let me wash my hands without ever touching the faucet or handle. Thanks to advanced motion sensors, I can wave my drippy chicken hands to start the water flowing at a preset temperature.
Four styles of Moen kitchen faucets are available with MotionSense technology. Moen provided a review sample of the Brantford faucet for me to try. It looks just like a regular kitchen faucet, only it requires a little more installation work under the sink, as well as a battery pack that holds six AAA batteries. Moen says the batteries should last for about a year, and an LED light lets you know when it's time to change.
Once the faucet is installed, which an experienced DIYer can do in less than two hours, the Wave Sensor lets you simply wave your hand above the faucet to turn the water on or off. Not only does this stop the spread of germs, but it's a convenient way to fill large pots with water. Set the pot in the sink while it fills; when it's full, just wave your hand to turn the water off. Lest you worry you'll accidentally wave your hand over the faucet before walking away for the day, an auto shutoff mode stops the water after it's been running for two minutes.
The other way to activate the flow of water is the Ready Sensor, which is located on the front of the faucet near the base. Just like moving your hands in front of a sink sensor in a restaurant bathroom, holding your hand, cup or pot under the faucet tells the sensor to turn on. Take away your hand or pot, and the water turns off again. This is particularly useful when your hands are dirty from cooking dinner.
Of course you can use the handle to adjust water flow and temperature as you would ordinarily, and like many other faucets, there's a pull-down spray spout for rinsing the sink. Wash the faucet as you would any other polished surface; in fact, there's a guest/cleaning mode that turns off the sensors when you have company or are cleaning the sink.
Moen isn't the only company to make hands-free faucets, but it offers the largest selection of attractive kitchen faucets. On average, adding MotionSense to the price of a faucet adds from $150 to $200 to the cost. MotionSense faucets are available in chrome, oil-rubbed bronze and spot-resist stainless finishes, which Moen says resists water spots and fingerprints.
Simplehuman calls its products "tools for efficient living," and I can think of nothing more efficient than holding a sponge or my hand under a dispenser for a preset amount of soap without having to touch the dispenser or shake a tube of gel. While there are other automated soap dispensers on the market, this one includes a brushed nickel, removable caddy for the dish sponge so it stays put rather than getting buried under a pile of dirty dishes at the bottom of the sink.
I particularly like the "volume control" that lets me set how much liquid I want dispensed, so I won't get a huge glob when all I really want is a little dab. The sensor (powered by four AA batteries) on the front easily senses my sponge, my hand or even a utensil, and since the sponge is stored on the side, I don't get accidental drips on my hand. The sensor can be turned off for cleaning, and the caddy comes off for easy cleaning.
Whether you use an under-cabinet paper towel dispenser or prefer something that stands on your counter, sometimes you need to grab a paper towel with one hand. A quick scan of Amazon brings up dozens of different types of touch-free dispensers, ranging from $50 to $150 for a battery-operated device, but I settled on the $25 Simplehuman Tension Arm Paper Towel Holder.
It looks quite similar to the countertop stainless steel dispenser I currently use, but the variable tension arm on the side holds the towels in place so I can easily tear off one sheet at a time without ever touching the top of the stand. Even better, I no longer have to unscrew the finial to remove the old roll and replace it with a new one.
The stainless steel base is weighted so that it stands its ground as you pull your towel. There's a finger loop for picking up the dispenser and moving it around.
If you prefer the under-cabinet style and aren't limited by budget, the Clean Cut Touchless Paper Towel Dispenser is great high-tech option. It uses LED Breaking Beam technology so you control how much towel you want, and cuts it to any length even if you're using a pre-perforated brand. The longer you hold your hand up to break the beam, the longer the length you'll get. When you remove your hand, you activate the cutter and the towel is dispensed for you—all without you having to touch anything.
The company says installation should take about 15 minutes and since it requires an AC adapter for power, you will need to mount it somewhat close to an outlet.
Since most of my kitchen appliances are stainless steel, my effort to find the right touch-free garbage pail led me right back to Simplehuman. Its 55-liter Sensor Can is exactly the right size for my kitchen, with a huge capacity, and it opens automatically with just a wave of my hand.
Since I placed my sample in a high-traffic area of the kitchen, I worried that it would open every time someone walked by. It turns out this can is pretty smart and, for the most part, can detect the difference between a hand that's passing by and a hand that's waving. The trigger zone is right above the lid, so you won't get many accidental opens, though if your hand swings directly over it as you walk by, the lid will open.
Once the lid is open, the trigger zone can sense when your hands are nearby; scraping a plate or peeling a carrot will keep it from closing before you're done. A "stay-open" mode lets you choose to keep the lid open for a longer period of time.
The only downside to this can is the sound it makes when it opens and closes; it kinds of whooshes as it opens and make a wubba-wubba sound as it closes. That could definitely be quieter.
The can runs on six C batteries, which are estimated to last a year (there's an optional $30 power adapter), and an integrated charcoal filter in the lid absorbs odors. I like the design and the rectangular shape of this garbage can; it fits up against the wall and takes up less space than a round can, and the fingerprint-proof stainless steel outside is a nice touch, so to speak. The inner can comes out for easy cleaning, and you can use trash bags to line it.
While we're talking about hands-free kitchen conveniences, if you don't have a robotic vacuum, it may be time to consider getting one for their convenience and smart scheduling. There are a few different brands on the market that roam your house in search of dust bunnies and pet hair; some work better than others on carpets and getting past fringe.
I primarily use a bot vac for my kitchen floor and the hardwood floors on the first floor of my home. The Neato Robotics BotVac does a great job of picking up the dirt and crumbs I would ordinarily have to sweep up and then collect with a dust pan or vacuum. That's because it has powerful suction capabilities, like an ordinary vacuum. Other robotic vacuums use a sweeping technology, making them better suited for thicker carpets.
Neato uses a Technology-Laser-guided navigation system that first scans and then maps the room. That way, the unit is armed with a plan of attack for maneuvering around kitchen stools and the center island. If it runs out of battery power while cleaning, the BotVac returns to its base for recharging and then goes back to where it left off to complete the job. I can set a schedule for when I want it to run — say, once I've gone upstairs for the night — and know that in the morning, the kitchen floor will be clean and the BotVac will be back where it belongs. For big messes, I can always push a button to turn it on and start the job immediately.
The BotVac series varies in price depending on which types of brushes, blades and filter options you prefer. There's one designed specifically for picking up pet hair that CNET gave a four-star rating, choosing it over the Roomba. "In almost every situation we threw at it, the Neato picked up more debris than the competition, often in significantly less time," CNET reported. "It's an efficient, powerful little machine, and its laser-guided navigation system is one of the smartest you'll find in any robot vacuum." CNET also noted "The BotVac also did much better on the pet hair test, making it ultimately more recommendable that iRobot's Roomba 870."
Sure, I can use a vacuum like the portable Dyson, but for the same price, I get a vacuum that runs when I want it to whether I'm there or not, and I don't have to touch it — except, of course, to empty the dust bin.

This study is meant to give a general idea of the elements that are shaping cities today. Cities of today have the same needs as those of hundreds of years ago: communication and representation. They need to be connected and they need to be attractive. The elements that provide these necessities change and evolve through time. I see the European City as an evolving system of re-invention of the res publica. However, today the shape of the city is not designed solely by architects, but also by developers and multinational companies. What once the Roman roads meant for communication is represented by Ryanair today. The cult and veneration that temples received centuries ago, is these days being given to Superstar Architecture. Could Ikea be the latest step in two thousand years of evolution of the Agora?
Strong competition among cities in Europe has started. The "battlefield" for these cities has widened from the national to the international stage. This process of global integration is reorienting the political, social and economical urbanism. It generates the need in these cities for incorporating certain elements that directly define the European City of today. They seek for identity. The aim is to establish relations between the cities, based on communication and representation, to belong to the spatial structure of corporations, and to create public initiatives to attract foreign investment and tourism. A beautiful square or an impressive cathedral are not enough for the city today. To be recognized as ¨A European 21st century City¨ a big portfolio of projects needs to be assembled. This portfolio will address strategies of city developers and multinational companies rather than the rules of architects. We witness how at one and the same time similar elements appear in very distant European cities, transforming them enormously, positioning them on the European map, or giving them a new identity.
Zaragoza (Spain) is one of these "Urban Stars". Situated between Madrid and Barcelona, it is the fifth biggest city in Spain, with 650.000 inhabitants. Until now, Zaragoza was no more than a regional centre but it is currently developing an unprecedented number of ambitious projects. The position of Zaragoza both in the national and international context – specifically in the European – will totally change. In a couple of years, Zaragoza will have taken one of its biggest steps in its history. In 2008, Zaragoza will host the next International EXPO. It has just completed Plaza, the biggest logistics platform in Europe. Ryanair has been operating services to the city since 2004, adding a new destination every year. Ikea just opened a store last May. Since 2003, the high-speed train connects the city with Madrid in less than an hour and a half and it will connect with Barcelona in 2008. Zaha Hadid and Herzog & de Meuron are building in the city. The football stadium will be completely renovated. Global brands like H&M have shops in the city since the year 2001. It is a candidate for the European Capital of Culture in 2016. It works on its rebirth as a "City of Knowledge'' and it has created a committee of experts, including Manuel Castells and Saskia Sassen, to implement their theories in the city.
These elements are significantly changing Zaragoza; from its position in Europe to the way the population will furnish their living rooms.

Enkephalin biosynthesis and release in mouse striatum are inhibited by GABA receptor stimulation: compared changes in preproenkephalin mRNA and Tyr-Gly-Gly levels.
In order to assess changes in enkephalin release and biosynthesis, the levels of the tripeptide Tyr-Gly-Gly (YGG), a characteristic extracellular metabolite of enkephalins, and of the proenkephalin mRNA in mouse striatum were evaluated after a single administration of GABAergic agents. Significant and long-lasting decreases in steady state YGG levels were elicited by muscimol, a gamma-aminobutyric acid-A (GABAA) receptor agonist, diazepam, a benzodiazepine receptor agonist, or aminooxyacetic acid, a GABA-transaminase inhibitor. In addition, muscimol offset the elevation of striatal YGG elicited by bestatin, an aminopeptidase inhibitor, which entirely drives the released enkephalins into the metabolic pathway operated by enkephalinase (EC 3.4.24.11). Diazepam potentiated the effect of muscimol so that the YGG decrease induced by the combination of these two drugs was maximal after 30 min (-60%) and still significant (-40%) after 6 h, this potentiation being antagonized by pre-treatment with Ro 15-1788, a specific benzodiazepine receptor antagonist. By contrast [Met5]enkephalin steady-state levels were marginally affected by GABAergic agents, being only slightly reduced 6 h after the combination of muscimol and diazepam. After 3 h the same treatment also reduced by about 30% the level of proenkephalin mRNA, this change being maximal after 6 h (-45%) and still present after 24 h. These compared changes in various indexes of enkephalin neuron activity suggest that stimulation of GABAA receptors depresses enkephalin release immediately and for several hours, whereas preproenkephalin gene expression is decreased in a somewhat delayed and longer lasting manner. These patterns of temporal changes in biosynthesis and release of the neuropeptide presumably account for the limited changes in its steady state levels.

Collagen Peptides Have These Amazing Benefits
Collagen Peptides Benefits: What You Need to Know
When it comes to improved skin, hair, nails, and joints, many swear by the supplement.
By Korin Miller Published: Aug 23, 2022
Beo88//Getty Images
Collagen peptides have come up in nutrition a lot lately. Fans swear they can do everything from improving the look of your skin to giving your joints a boost, and they're not wrong.
While you can find collagen peptides in a range of nutrition products, these are more than a buzzy ingredient—they can offer a lot of benefits for your body and overall health.
But what's the deal with collagen peptides, exactly, and what are the exact benefits you can get from them? Here's what you need to know.
What are collagen peptides?
Collagen is a protein structure found in many animals and humans, explains Scott Keatley, co-owner of Keatley Medical Nutrition Therapy. "It is mostly made of three amino acids—building blocks of protein—and makes up about a third of the total protein in our bodies," Keatley says.
Collagen peptides "are made by breaking down whole collagen proteins into smaller pieces, called peptides," says Dana Ellis Hunnes, PhD, senior dietitian at the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health and author of Recipe for Survival: What You Can Do to Live a Healthier and More Environmentally Friendly Life.
The reason you might want to have collagen that's broken down? It helps your body absorb it better, Keatley explains.
Collagen peptides are usually taken as supplements in powder or capsule form.
Collagen peptides benefits
There are a lot of claims out there about the benefits of collagen peptides. Experts say these are the accurate perks you can get from taking collagen peptides.
They can help replace collagen your body loses over time.
Your body naturally creates less collagen once you hit your 30s. In fact, research shows that your body's collagen production drops by about 1 to 1.5 percent each year. But adding collagen peptides to your diet could help replace them as you age. "We used to think that collagen couldn't be replaced, but now we know that by ingesting collagen it will help with the collagen that's lost over time," says Vanessa Rissetto, cofounder of Culina Health.
Taking collagen peptides isn't a guarantee to help, though "just like if you eat liver, it doesn't automatically help your liver," Keatley says. "Collagen, like other proteins, are broken down to individuals or pairs and brought into the body," he explains. "These amino acids can be used for just about anything, not just collagen losses. But having the specific amino acids for collagen repair available will certainly help the odds."
The Collagen Supplements Nutritionists Recommend
They can help boost your skin.
This is one of the biggest reasons why people take collagen peptides, and there's research to support it. One meta-analysis of placebo-controlled studies of 805 people found that those who took up to 10 grams a day of collagen had better skin elasticity and hydration after several months than those who didn't. The researchers called the results "promising."
"Those wrinkles and fine lines you see developing on your face—that's a result of less collagen in the body that would otherwise keep our skin tight and plump," says Keri Gans, author of The Small Change Diet. Collagen peptides "may help with hydration and elasticity by supporting the collagen that is already present in the skin," Hunnes says.
But there is a limit to how much skin benefit you can get from taking collagen peptides, Keatley says. "There is a tipping point where adding more supplement does not do anything," he says.
They provide an easy source of protein.
Protein is an important nutrient to help you build and maintain muscle and it can also help you feel fuller, longer. Collagen gives you a source of protein that's gentle on your stomach. "Collagen is pretty easy to break down to begin with, [but] peptides are even easier since they're already partially broken down before you even consume them," Hunnes says.
They can help your joint health.
Collagen can help support the connective tissue in your joints. One meta-analysis found that collagen peptides had "beneficial effects" on people with osteoarthritis and cartilage issues. Another study specifically had athletes with knee pain take five grams of collagen peptides each day for 12 weeks. The researchers found that those who took collagen peptides had less joint pain when they worked out compared to those who took a placebo.
Collagen peptides are "thought to improve the elasticity and thickness of the cartilage between joints," Hunnes explains.
They may help support good bone health.
Your bones are mostly made of collagen, so they can weaken over time as your body's collagen production naturally dwindles, Gans says. "This is a completely normal part of the aging process, but bone unfortunately relies on collagen for strength, so less collagen can result in decreased bone mineral density and muscle mass," she says.
Research has shown that taking collagen peptides may help treat and prevent osteoporosis. One study of 102 post-menopausal women, for example, found that those who took collagen peptides for a year had better bone mineral density than those who took a placebo.
They may help with gut health.
The research on this connection isn't as strong as some of the others, but there is some evidence to suggest that collagen peptides may help people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). One study found that patients with IBD have trouble breaking down collagen fibers; Another study specifically found that IBD patients have less of a particular type of collagen (type 4) in their blood.
Adding collagen to your diet if you have a digestive condition may help your gut heal, Rissetto says. "Especially the marine-based collagens have been shown to reduce barrier dysfunction in the gut, which may be a cause of some inflammatory bowel disease," Keatley says.
It could boost your heart health.
There isn't a ton of evidence for this one, but there is some. One small study of patients who took collagen twice a day found that they had better markers of atherosclerosis, i.e. plaque in their artery walls, than at the beginning of the study.
Collagen peptides can also "provide structure to your arteries and vessels, so ingesting them can help keep these healthy and sound over time," Rissetto says.
Overall, experts say that collagen peptides can be good for a range of people. "Everyone can benefit—people looking to get in more protein, post-menopausal women, and athletes," Rissetto says.

Advent calendars used to have pictures behind each door. They all had a vaguely Christmassy theme – robins and fir trees and a little bit of religion by way of angels and stars. When my children were children we had a lot of fun trying to guess what would be hidden behind the next day's door. Today's advent calendars have chocolates and small toys and I didn't think modern kids would care much for the guessing game. But last year I found one of the old-style calendars and played it with my grandchildren – and, guess what, they loved it. I don't know what they would make of Aldi's new Wine Advent Calendar. It has a little bottle of wine behind each door – 24 bottles in all; red, white, rosé and sparkling. Gives a whole new meaning to the festive spirit. On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a bottle of fine Burgundy. The wines are from JP Chenet and Calvet. The still wines are French. The fizz is Prosecco, from Italy, and Cava, from Spain. It will set you back €69.99, which is good value if you like that sort of thing. As far as I know, it's the only wine calendar on sale in Ireland. Online, there are others.
Amazon offers a Sparling Fizz Advent Calendar with Prosecco, Cava and one bottle of Champagne (£St120); a Craft Beer Advent Calender, 24 ales for £St59.99; a Gin and Tonic advent Calendar (£St 99) and a Williams Chase Liqueur Christmas Advent Calendar for £St129.99 The Pipstop has a wine calendar for £St 69.99, and a Prosecco calendar for £st 125. Some of these companies don't deliver to Ireland but if you promise to share a bottle with Santa he might send Rudolph to fetch it.
