Wind turbine manufacturers aim to reduce noise
Effects of Noise on Wildlife, Human impacts, News, Wind turbines Add comments
Two recent articles in trade magazines caught me up on efforts taking place within the wind power industry to reduce the noise levels of wind turbines. While it's great to know it's on everyone's mind, it also appears that so far, noise reductions are modest.
In the July 2011 issue of North American Windpower (back issues not available for online reading, sorry to say), one of the feature articles was "Turbine Manufacturers Focus on Reducing Noise Emissions." It included discussions with reps from most of the major turbine manufacturers, and was full of fascinating hints of ongoing research. As the article noted:
As the so-called "low-hanging fruit" of land with good wind and transmission access gets used up and wind turbines move closer to residential areas, noise concerns are expected to become more prevalent, according to wind turbine manufacturers.
"It's on the top of the minds for all manufacturers," said Paul Thompson, commercial director of Mitsubishi's wind turbine group, "we're all doing things to reduce the amount of noise that's generated." GE's Henrik Stiesdel stressed that wind turbines do "have a noise impact. The main remedy is to ensure that they are not sited to close to dwellings. If that's not possible because you are in a densely populated area, then we have remedies where we control the power output when conditions are such that noise might be exceeding limits." The article describes this system:
GE's sound power management (SPM) works by optimizing control setting based on real-time wind conditions, according to Sean Fitzgerald. The SPM option can be configured for day and night modes, at angular intervals depending on the mode switching and based on wind turbine placement. "These applications enable the customer to specify the appropriate, desired sound emission characteristics by customizing the sound power curve to the precise requirements over the entire wind speed range," Fitzgerald tells NAW.
Gamesa's Miguel Angel Gonzalez-Posada notes that there's a trend of having to keep noise as low as possible near populated areas, especially at night.
Gamesa's turbines, too, have controls to limit noise output, largely oriented around slowing the turbines as needed. "By doing this with the controls of the turbine, we can meet different criteria in the daytime as opposed to nighttime. We can slow (turbines) down even more at night than we do in the daytime. We can also selectively use that quiet mode on the turbines that are closer to receptors." (Editor's note: this article didn't quantify the amount of quieting made possible by the GE or Gamesa operational adjustments; in one place I'm aware of GE experimenting with quiet operation, Fox Islands Wind Farm, the expected sound reduction was in the 2-3dB range, which is just barely perceptible. However, reducing the sound output by 6dB can double the distance at which turbines are heard at any given level, which in some situations could relieve nearby neighbors–for example, instead of homes at 1700 feet hearing 40dB, they would hear 34dB, with sound reaching 40dB only at 3400 feet. So while current techniques are just starting to be perceptible, this line of research could make a difference if they are able to continue building on it. It's should be noted as well that even a 3dB reduction would lead to a moderate increase in the distance that the 40dB would be heard at.)
Several manufacturers are working on new blade designs, as well. Mitsubishi has a new blade prototype that's currently being tested in Oregon, which both increases power and output and is quieter (I was unable to find details on their website). Siemens sometimes uses a sawtoothed trailing edge on the blade, which changes the frequency spectrum of the noise, reducing high frequency noise so those frequencies aren't audible to as great a distance (Editor's note: at times, it's the lower frequencies – more clearly audible at a third of a mile and beyond and through background foliage sounds – which cause many of the community response issues). GE notes that its ongoing blade optimization efforts, including new tip designs and serrations, have increased annual energy production on its larger turbines by nearly 10% without increasing sound emissions.
This last observation reflects what is, at times, the primary focus: to increase energy output without increasing noise, efforts which are welcome of course, but which may not lead to significant reductions in noise exposure for future wind farm neighbors. A fascinating interview with Fort Felker, director of the National Wind Testing Center at the National Renewable Energy Lab in Golden, Colorado, recently appeared in the July/August issue of Renewable Energy World. A section looking at noise also framed the quest in terms of increasing output, more than reducing overall noise:
NWTC is looking to make advances in the aerodynamics of turbines and in reducing the noise associated with turbines. A less noisy turbine can spin a little faster. That's because tip speed is a fundamental parameter for turbine noise. "The lower (the tip speed) is, the less noise it makes, the higher, the more noise it makes." Felker said that you want tip speed to be as high as possible with acceptable noise.
These efforts to increase tip speed pay important dividends: faster tip speeds allow the overall weight of the system to be reduced, which in turn can reduce the cost. "When we are investigating noise, we can actually take dollars out of the capital cost of the turbine so I think that's a real important opportunity."
For people living near wind farms and proposed wind farms, all this research effort to reduce noise levels may not make a dramatic impact, at least as long as the noise reductions are in service of larger or faster blades. A new 2.4MW turbine designed by Nordex for maximum efficiency in light wind conditions (such as may be expected in many areas targeted for development, now that the "low-hanging fruit" has been picked) is also touted as being quiet, though it still has a rated acoustic power level of 105db, "allowing the turbine to be used closer to residential areas and facilitating optimal layout at wind farms," as noted in the NAW article. Siemens, too, is proud of their 2.3MW turbine that is rated at 105dB, "one of the quietest on the market."
Again, the "success" here is creating larger turbines that have generally similar noise output as previous-generation 1-1.5MW turbines. So far, there's no sign of a large turbine that has overall sound output of below 100dB; noise levels would have to drop well below 100dB to allow current siting standards of quarter to third of a mile setbacks to create minimal noise problems for nearby neighbors in quiet rural communities. Still, a hopeful note is struck by a slew of ongoing research and development efforts on turbine designs very different than the current giant rotors; it remains to be seen whether any of these will become commercially viable, but the potential is there that wind farms in 2021 may look – and sound – quite different than they do in 2011.

To find out most pictures throughout The Living Room Manchester Menu photos gallery remember to stick to this kind of hyperlink. The American conventional kind of furniture was influenced by styles. With time it evolved into a unique American style. The living room furniture includes styles like the clean and simple lines of Shaker furniture, the ease of the Mission style and styles from artisans in the Southwest and all edges of the nation. American fashion that is conventional is thus a mix of styles plus it takes the very best that every fashion that is distinct has to offer you. Living room furniture's downside is that pieces in this fashion are a little large. So in the event that you'd love to supply your living room within this style you need to get a living room that is huge. Sofas, recliners and stand alone seats artistically and arrive with curved done up legs and handles. These pieces need to be kept well apart so as to not provide a look to the room. It is only when they are placed may the craftsmanship be honored. Well-seasoned good quality timber is used for crafting pieces of living room furniture. Pine, oak, mahogany and walnut are all popular choices for creating pieces of furniture. The natural rich tones of wood are enhanced by upholstery in prints and soft textures. The end effect is a comfy look that looks inviting. It's highly advisable to select furniture that represents eras and numerous styles, from Chippendale to Victorian to Sheraton and Queen Anne when choosing a conventional décor. Traces of influences also look very appealing in this setting. Landscapes, a Queen Anne dining table or lampshade or a highboy will instantly give your living room a conventional touch. Soft and cushy couches and love seats accessorized with cushions, wrapped arms and slipcovers all done up in floral upholstery in colors will give you a warm classic appearance.

Flushing Them Out
So, today I've written a silly light-hearted thing about the BNP at the Queen's garden party. Lots of the comments on the Guardian website are nice, hurray, some of them very smart and clever. BUT some of them are clearly from real BNP people. It's a bit spooky. It'll be good for me to remember, on future days when they write horrid things, that some of them really are people whose approval I would never want anyway. Interesting, when I have long suspected that some of the people who post there about me are a bit grim, to find out quite how deep their grimness runs. Nevertheless, maybe it would be a good idea for a couple of you more right-thinking heroes to go on and put a couple of comments, just to balance it a bit from giving these guys the floor? Or maybe it's better ignored, I'm not sure. Sadly, to the fellow who says I have no power against the BNP because I am just a "jeering, common-as-muck female", I don't think I have any grounds to deny it *sigh*.

Don't put yourself down Vix, you're anything but jeering or common, although the 'female' bit I wouldn't argue!
Anyway, I'll join the debate and post something and if anyone wants to beat me down, let 'em bring it to the table.
Alex at 5:54 pm on May 24th, 2009
... You probably wont be laughing when the BNP have candidates elected to the European Parliament in June. Enjoy!
Victoria Coren at 9:21 pm on May 24th, 2009
I'm hoping the tone of Alex's post there is depressed rather than triumphant, but without knowing for certain I'll just say that I wouldn't find that funny, no.

Well, it can sometimes be hard to get the correct tone and the words to describe exactly what you mean. Here's Amanda Holden, talking about pizza delivery man Jamie Pugh, from Britain's Got Talent:
"He got on my tits. I didn't think he was genuine. I didn't believe his emotion and I hated his voice. He sounded like a car starting."
Now go to 4.20 onwards of this video:

Contrary to what was said on Heresy last week wiki is right (on this subject at least) "Do not feed the trolls". It's the only way to deal with these people.
Brian at 12:20 pm on May 25th, 2009
Sorry, but I can't bring myself to read the readers' comments on the Observer any more, far less associate with the people who write them. Most of the comments are so badly written, it's hard to see exactly what point, if any, they're trying to make. There's just some general rage being vented, and it wouldn't really make any difference what you write - these people obviously don't bother reading it properly. What surprises me more is that even the most witless comment will get recommendations. I think it's best to ignore them if you can. Your fans will find their way here. Meanwhile, ridicule is a strong weapon against the fascists, so carry on jeering! (Who doesn't love a common-as-muck female?)
Philip at 1:57 pm on May 25th, 2009
I think it's about time we reclaimed the Observer for liberal intellectuals. People like me shouldn't need to put up with thick people, coming over here, reading our papers.
Thanks Victoria. A pleasure to read, as normal.
Why would I be depressed about the BNP making progress?
Dammit, I'm the one who decided there should be a word limit on the posts for this website, and now you go and ask me THAT question. In this confined space, Alex, I can only wish you a lovely day.

VC wrote: "Not the mauve, sweetheart, it does nothing for you"
Of course the way she sketched a gay partnership out of John Inman stereotypes was a joke ABOUT homophobia, not a homophobic joke, wasn't it? A groovy girl like Vicky would never REALLY portray gay folk as giddy and faintly risible, would she?
RomanticRecluse at 11:02 pm on May 25th, 2009
Long ago I lived in a city that was being targeted by the pre-Griffin BNP. Back then it was a run-down, violent, divided city. Now, in the wake of riots and BNP wins, it is even worse. The city has been poisoning itself to death for many decades and electing the BNP has continued this process.
A BNP victory is one sign that a place has deep-seated problems. It is a deterrent to people with money, talent and goodwill. It is civic suicide.
Alex, be careful what you wish for.
Victoria Coren at 8:41 am on May 26th, 2009
Jo - you're missing the point. They aren't gay. It isn't "a portrayal of gay folk". It's an image of Nick Griffin and Richard Barnbrook having a camp day out.
Jo Carney at 5:11 pm on May 26th, 2009
Yep, an image drawn in your gay-stereotype colouring book.
An, hey, Al Jolson wasn't depicting a black person, he was depicting a white black-face minstrel. So not offensive, right?
Well if he had been, it wouldn't be. I've never seen Al Jolson's act so I don't know. Ali G is a satire of a white person pretending to be black, and that's not offensive at all.
But let's not bother having this argument any more. I'm not homophobic, so it's sort of pointless.
Jo-Carney at 6:07 pm on May 26th, 2009
Who said Victoria was homophobic? She's merely using fifty-year old homophobic comic tropes in that article. Totally different thing! And, sure, who's got the time to continue an argument? Columns to write, anti-BNP credentials to establish….And if it means using an image of camp gay people who are good at colours and bicker before going out, just like in the 70's sitcoms, that's got to be a time-saver.
FFS ! It's nothing to do with gay people being good at colours - that is IN YOUR MIND. *All* people, male, female, gay, straight, old, young, would be nervous before going to the Queen's garden party and ask each other how they looked, and all couples bicker sometimes about flirting with other people. It only becomes gay because they are BOTH MEN. And it's funny because they are BOTH MEN WHO WOULD FIND THE IDEA EXTREMELY IRRITATING. If it were Richard Barnbrook and a female leader of the BNP I would write exactly the same thing about them going on a funny little date, even though they weren't a couple. In this case, it has to be a gay date because they are the same sex. But as far as I'm concerned a gay date is JUST THE SAME as a straight date because being gay is PERFECTLY NORMAL. So if you really are carrying on with this because you feel a responsibility to attack homophobia where you see it, which is a perfectly responsible thing to feel, I promise that you are wasting precious time with this target. There are bad people out there and I'm not one of them!
Rosie at 9:18 pm on May 26th, 2009
Yes, Coren, what the hell do you think you're playing at, trying to make people laugh all the time? Don't you realise there are always victims? I should know, I'm bloody Welsh. Just say no to humour. Go and learn how to draft a mission statement or a playground behaviour policy, you evil pointy-hatted crone.
RomanticRecluse at 9:18 pm on May 26th, 2009
What is wrong with this country? You can't write a light-hearted article about two staunchly heterosexual male members of a political party that is opposed to homosexuality going to the Queen's garden party together as a political stunt without people accusing you of homophobia.
It's political correctness gone mad.
(I've always wanted to say that last bit)
David R at 9:25 pm on May 26th, 2009
From what I read of the article, it was that going to the Queen's garden party is something that you would ordinarily invite your partner along to, not your mate as if you were going down the pub, and so the butt of the joke is Nick Griffin and Richard Barnbrook in their desperation to socialise with the Queen.
What concerns me though is associating Pimms with the upper class. Have you not seen the Alexander Armstrong adverts that have fought so strenuously against such a stereotype?
Jo-Carney at 11:41 pm on May 26th, 2009
Really, that's quite enough on this topic, and VC's wordcount has got out of control. Time for me to "storm off through the choisya in a huff" as she charmingly imagines a neglected gay partner might.
For the record, I got it that the central comic idea was a right winger's discomfort about being in a gay-seeming situation. Fine. Only I could have done without the 'I'm free' shtick.
AndytheDealer at 10:44 pm on May 27th, 2009
They're not going.
Dan at 12:57 am on May 28th, 2009
I do have to say I laughed aloud multiple times while reading the piece, most embarrassing when I'm supposed to be working. Especially fine was the image of two BNP stalwarts mincing around BH gardens, no doubt arm in arm, so exactly the impression they desire to create… and isn't it just so sweet that they'd want to date each other? Surely it couldn't be a "lack of friends" issue…?
And for anyone who reads your pieces without comprehending the humour, the joke quite clearly is on them too. Please do continue in this vein.
Incidentally, another reason for the invite is possibly clarified here (NSFW):
http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/celebrity/mystery-surrounds-bnp-invite-to-palace-200905211776/
Storming off "through the choisya in a huff" can be applied to any couple having a tiff, in the genteel surroundings of a royal garden. But then it would depend on the kind of choisya you stormed through, as you could get hurt.
Storming through the choisya here, for example, would probably be something a tanked-up rugby team would do:
http://www.esveld.nl/plantdias/18/18968.jpg
So, as with all choisya-storming related behaviour, my advice as always would be to please check first with the local gardener or park keeper before embarking on such a risky horticultural enterprise.

Oh, lordy. When I read your piece last Sunday, there were only about 5 comments and I was too brain dead at the time to think of anything worth hitting the 'post your comment' button for. Things really went south fast, didn't they?
I'm starting to think your Observer piece needs to come with a big disclaimer up top, "WARNING: This column may induce fits in the humour-impaired"
Q at 4:28 pm on May 29th, 2009
I'm going to hell I think.
I had to fire someone this week for racially abusing a fellow team member (and also swearing at the South African HR Officer); and I have to admit, it gave me no small amount of pleasure to have that piece of unadulterated monkey jizz escorted off site.
I did have a point I think…Oh yes, no one should feel in the least bit apologetic for ridiculing those evil sons of bitches who even now fail to realise that we're all immigrants, just some of us have been here a bit longer than the newest ones. I certainly intend to hunt them down and hurl a tirade of abuse from behind my firewall.
Roger at 7:58 pm on May 30th, 2009
Personally Vicky, I think you should have a garden party. Now for your column tomorrow. I await your views on probably the best intellectual show on television since Teletubbies, 'Britian's not got a lot of talent'.
Mind you, I guess you may be busy as I heard that you are considering announcing that you're running as an independent candidate in the next election.
daniel maris at 2:01 am on August 26th, 2009
Well anyone with an IQ above 50 is going to know the BNP is a Nazi front and also that anti-semites will go for anyone with any Jewish connections.
I'm a democrat but I don't believe that parties that don't play the democratic game should be allowed to partake in elections. In Germany - thanks to their experience of real Nazis - they have a system of banning totalitarian parties from using the democratic system in order to destroy it. Quite right too in my view.

Chris Pine Isn't Sure Steve Trevor Will Be Back After Wonder Woman 1984
Julie Muncy
Chris Pine, one of the illustrious cabal of Chrises that dominates pop culture like a name-based Illuminati, isn't entirely sure if he's going to be doing more than just one more Wonder Woman movie.
We know he's appearing in Wonder Woman 1984, where his character Steve Trevor will be—somehow—thrust into the future to co-star, again, alongside Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman. There's a remarkably scant amount of info floating around about the film so far, which is why it's interesting to see Pine talk, rather candidly, about the prospects for Trevor going forward. Which is that, uh, he doesn't really think so.
Talking to Entertainment Tonight, Pine, at the I Am the Night premiere, addressed his future as Trevor, saying, "I think Steve's done." He continued: "I think Steve's done his bit. I wish them all the luck in the world."
Patty Jenkins, for her part, was a bit more coy, replying to the same question with that classic "We'll see" that makes the Blockbuster filmmaking world go 'round. "Chris and I will be working together plenty more, one way or the other," she said.
What becomes of Wonder Woman without Steve Trevor? She'll probably be fine, Wonder Woman don't need no man. But what becomes of Chris Pine without Wonder Woman? It wouldn't be the first time he dropped out of a big franchise. If this keeps up, he's going to find himself kicked out of the Big Chris Club. And who's going to take his place? We can't just clone Chris Evans. Can we? (I'm being told we can't.)

Hustlers Full Movie Download: The Sexiest Hollywood Movie No One Can Get Enough Of
Coolie No 1 Movie Download – Another Overrated Movie From Bollywood Celebrity Kids Gang
The Family Man is the debut series of Raj & D.K producers after their blockbuster movie Stree in 2018. Though the Indian-American duo are more known for their shows, The Family Man became an instant hit after release for its unpredictable plot and excellent cast performance. Since then, The Family Man download has witnessed a boom in search volume despite copyright protection from Prime Video.
The Family Man poster features Manoj in two figures: a middle-class father and a TASC spy.
Knowing many of you may not afford to watch The Family Man online on the paid platform, we get here The Family Man web series download for free, full series. Before that, Starbiz.com helps to summarise the series plot and review from the audience.
In case you don't know, The Family Man download tells the story of a middle-class Srikant Tiwari who is already married and has two kids. However, this guy secretly works for the fictional Threat Analysis and Surveillance Cell as a senior staff. What forms the crux of the series is the double tasks Srikant Tiwari has to finish: saving the nation from a serious terrorist attack while keeping his family members safe. That is not to mention a lot of pressure from his low-paid job.
How Srikant balances his two lives at the same time? Watch The Family Man download to know!
Throughout season 1 of The Family Man web series download, people see Srikant fights against conspiracies of terrorists. In the end, Srikant successfully persuaded Moosa to stop leaking the toxic gas to recreate the Bhopal Gas Tragedy in Delhi. However, this character was killed later, while his gang member continued their evil acts. The show ends on a cliffhanger with a massive explosion scene in which the two colleagues are trying to reach Srikant's place.
The Family Man season 2 is expected to be released this year. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the exact date of The Family Man web series 2 hasn't been informed yet.
Looking through The Family Man cast, we can see familiar faces such as Manoj Bajpayee or Priyamani. Manoj plays the lead role of Srikant Tiwari and Priyamani acts as his wife in The Family Man download. Sharib Hashmi, Kishore and Gul Panag are in the roles of Srikant's colleagues while Neeraj Madhav plays the antagonist Moosa.

The charming South Indian star Priyamani plays the role of Srikant's wife.
Now let's talk about the reason why The Family Man download free is hunted on the pirate sites. Right after the series premiere, praises emerge on reliable movie review websites, with highly encouraging scores. A number of movie critics gave the Manoj Bajpayee-starrer 4 out of 5 stars, complimenting his stellar performance in the series. Another actor who also gains widely recognition is Sharib Hashmi. The duo acts naturally in the role of TASC senior analysts while the dialogues are logically composed.
Neerja, in the role of Moose, received positive feedback for his performance as well. In an interview, Neerja expressed his gratitude for being offered this character in his career:
"I'm fortunate to have been furnished with Moosa because a character ought to happen to an on-screen character. This was the character I was hanging tight for in my profession. I predominately work in Malayalam film and I have never accomplished something so serious. I'm very happy this transpired"
>>> Read full interview with Neerja here.
The entire season 1 is about the fight against terrorist attacks.
Besides, the audience is more than satisfied with this product from Raj & D.K. A lot of people have commented on The Family Man series download as engaging and a mastery of storytelling. Though the topic of undercover spy integrated with comedy factors is not new to Indian netizens, the way Raj & D.K brings this authentic atmosphere of thrills is unprecedented.
Beyond its entertaining purposes, The Family Man download also delivers a crucial message to the middle-class in Indian society, reminding them of their privileges and contributions to the nation.
For these reasons, The Family Man was awarded Best Drama Series while its protagonist Manoj Bajpayee won Best Actor in a Drama Series at The Critics' Choice Shorts and Series Awards 2019 in Mumbai.
With these remarks, this is an ideal series to watch with your entire family or friends. No more waiting, you can access The Family Man web series download full series on Movierulz.

Why buy this United States 1797-2018 John Adams 1 oz Silver Matte MS70 Medal?
This 1789-2018 1 oz Silver Matte John Adams Medal honors the second President of the United States. The medal honors Adams's important role in making peace with Native Americans and is perfect for history buffs. It was struck from one ounce of .999 fine silver, the same weight and purity as the American Silver Eagle. The medals follow the tradition of presidential bronze medals, which the US Mint has been issuing for years.
On the obverse is a right-side portrait of President John Adams. He is depicted as a powerful figure with a stern look on his face. His name, "JOHN ADAMS," is inscribed to the left, while "PRESIDENT OF THE U.S." is inscribed along the rim on the right. Below is an inscription of the year in which he was inaugurated, "1797."
The reverse celebrates peace between the United States and Native Americans. The words "PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP" complement the two parts of the design. At the top, a peace pipe and tomahawk cross. Below, two hands shake hands. One of the two wrists is bare, while the other has a cuff with three buttons. An American eagle is on each of them.
This coin received Numismatic Guaranty Corporation's (NGC's) highest grade, Mint State 70. That means that the coin is perfect as seen under 5x magnification.

"The under assistant West Coast promotion man" has its roots with British Invasion blues bands touring America during the 60's and pokes fun at the emphatic local tour promoter escorting them, the character actually being of all places and eras.

First Edition Cycling News for November 10, 2005

Heras' B sample analysed by three labs
In order to exclude the potential risk of a false positive test result for EPO, the Spanish laboratory in charge of the counter-analysis of Roberto Heras' positive A sample will collaborate with two other laboratories also accredited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). As Spanish Marca reported, the B sample taken after the Alcala de Henares time trial - one day prior to Heras' record-breaking fourth Vuelta a Espa�a win - will be examined not only by the Consejo Superior de Deportes (CSD) in Madrid, but also by the appointed facilities in Paris/Ch�tenay-Malabry, France, and Lausanne, Switzerland.
Earlier this year, doubts over the reliability of the Recombinant EPO urinary test have been raised, also leading to the clearing of a triathlete in August: Rutger Beke, whose alleged EPO abuse proved to be a false positive finding. In July 2005, WADA advised its laboratories that any adverse EPO test result was to be confirmed by another laboratory before being reported, so the A sample of the Liberty Seguros rider has probably received the same expertise. Regarding the much-discussed reliability of the EPO test (also thoroughly investigated by Cyclingnews' Chief Online Editor Jeff Jones), WADA is still certain of its efficiency.
"There is no risk of a false positive if the test is properly carried out," WADA Legal Director Olivier Niggli told French newspaper L'Equipe yesterday, who also reported that representatives of about 30 laboratories met last week in the offices of the LNDD laboratory in Ch�tenay-Malabry to discuss their experiences with the EPO detection method currently in use.
Meanwhile, German news agency dpa reported that Heras was being targeted for doping tests by the UCI at the Vuelta a Espa�a because he showed top form only a few weeks after his more than disappointing performances in the Tour de France.
Ullrich preparing for Tour 2006

Jan Ullrich (T-Mobile) sees "great chances, but no guarantees" for a Tour de France overall victory in 2006, which would be the second in his career. "I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that there will be no team time trial," said Ullrich, who will be starting a fist pre-season training camp in South Africa at the end of this month.
Another factor that could lead to the German's long-awaited breakthrough are the hard mountain stages in the third week of the 'Grande Boucle', and the great number of individual time trial kilometres to master. But more than this, Ullrich is happy that his personal advisor, Rudy Pevenage, will again be part of his T-Mobile team next season. Pevenage had been 'banned' from the squad by the now retired team manager Walter Godefroot since 2003 - but now that former pro and directeur sportif Olaf Ludwig has taken over this position, Pevenage will reintegrate the outfit for 2006.
"Important things have been settled in order to do perfect work," the 31 year-old continued. "With Olaf Ludwig as new manager, there's a breath of fresh air in the team." Ullrich also declared that the structure is now calmer "because there aren't any discussions about the participation of Erik Zabel anymore."
Furthermore, Ullrich is said to have started a new diet this winter. "The new diet [separating proteinated from carbohydrated foods to supposedly facilitate digestion - ed] does me good," the 'Kaiser' said. "I feel fit, not tired and heavy at all. But I don't miss out on anything and I'm always full." At the moment, Ullrich trains from two to four hours each day to keep a base shape.
Hondo attorney doubts EPO test
Michael Lehner, attorney for sprinter Danilo Hondo, who tested positive twice for the drug Carphedon during the Tour of Murcia in March, noted that because of the recurring differences between A and B tests for EPO, he would advise Roberto Heras to challenge the test. Nevertheless, Lehner refused to comment as to whether he would represent Heras, who has been suspended from his Liberty Seguros team after a positive A test for EPO taken during the Vuelta a Espa�a.
Regarding the case of his current client, Hondo, the German attorney said that he assumed the International Sports Tribunal TAS would uphold the conviction and suspension of his client at the hearing next month. The court is scheduled to hear Hondo's appeal of his two-year suspension (one year of which is on probation) on November 22. Lehner said that he will ask the court to clear his client of all charges, but thinks that will not happen.
If the sentence is upheld, Hondo will be eligible to ride in the ProTour again in March 2006, and German Team Gerolsteiner has already signaled that it would re-sign him.

An interview with Hayden Roulston
A big base for a big 2006
Hayden Roulston caught the eye of Discovery Channel
Photo ©: Christine Grein
Hayden Roulston is one of two New Zealanders plying their trade on Pro Tour teams, the Discovery Channel rider having switched from Cofidis in late 2004. This year Roulston suffered injury setbacks that hampered his efforts to shine in the spring classics, and recently suffering a little embarrassment while at home in the South Island of New Zealand. He's primed for 2006, however, and spoke with Cyclingnews' Les Clarke about his plans for next year.
It's mid-afternoon when we reach Roulston at his home in Timaru, New Zealand, and he's just been to watch his uncle's racehorse run in a local race. She didn't get up for the win, but in a land known for its 'stayers' [horses that run well over long distances] there was surely plenty of competition. Roulston follows the tradition of New Zealand producing stayers - the big classics rider comes from an endurance track background and prefers long races so he can gallop all day, looking to outlast other riders over 200 kilometres or more.
With several strong performances during his time at French squad Cofidis, Roulston moved to Discovery Channel for the 2005 season, because, as he says, "When you look at the riders they've got, the results they've had, they really are the number one team in the world." He had established good relations with some of the team's staff, and they followed his progress. When he enjoyed some strong results as a first and second year pro Discovery decided to give him a shot, which suited him perfectly. "I went to Discovery because I felt it was a better setup, easier in terms of the language and the way things are run - I'm really happy that I made the move," said Roulston.
Gerrans leads Ag2r in 2006 Tour Down Under
Victorian Simon Gerrans' performances have earned him a leadership role with the Ag2r professional team in the 2006 Jacob's Creek Tour Down Under.
Gerrans made his Tour de France debut this year not only completing the three week race but also scoring third place on stage 17. Last month the 25 year-old returned home and secured overall honours in the Herald Sun Tour, further increasing the pressure for next season.
"My Tour de France performance has had a huge impact on what the team expects from me," Gerrans said. "I think next season they will put me in a leadership role more often and that will start with the Tour Down Under in January. My 2005 season has also given me more confidence and increased the expectations I put on myself. I plan to start the season in really good shape with a view to winning a stage and maybe challenging for overall in Adelaide."
Gerrans will have a versatile team around him, giving Ag2r several options to pursue depending on the way the race develops. "It's a really mixed team with strong guys like Yuriy Krivtsov, who has great time trial credentials and can ride all day on the front, and Samuel Dumoulin, who is a good all rounder with a fast finish," Gerrans continued. "Then you have climbers like Sylvain Calzati, who won the Tour de l'Avenir this year, and Cyril Dessel, silver medallist at the French Championships, who can both challenge for overall."
Also on the start list is Jose Luis Arrieta recently signed from Illes Balears. "They all love coming to Australia and the riders who haven't been here before are really excited to be racing the event," said Gerrans, who rode for Australia at this year's World Championships in Madrid and also has his sights set on Commonwealth Games selection. While he is currently enjoying a break from training he'll soon be back on the bike to ensure he begins 2006 in top form.
The full Ag2r roster for the Tour Down Under from January 17-22, 2006: Simon Gerrans, Jose Luis Arrieta, Sylvain Calzati, Cyril Dessel, Samuel Dumoulin, Yuriy Krivtsov, Carl Naibo and Ludovic Turpin.
Further teams and riders competing in the Tour will be confirmed as they become available. For more information, go to: www.tourdownunder.com.au.
Ceramica Panaria-Navigare complete for 2006
Italian Professional Continental team Ceramica Panaria-Navigare has announced its complete 2006 roster. The team led by manager Bruno Reverberi, which scored 25 victories in 2005, will count 18 riders next season, one more than this year.
Emanuele Sella (Ita), Luca Mazzanti (Ita), Paride Grillo (Ita), Ruben Bongiorno (Arg), Julio Alberto Perez Cuapio (Mex), Brett Lancaster (Aus), Sergey Matveyev (Ukr), Felipe La Vrede (Col), Aitor Galdos (Spa), Fortunato Baliani (Ita), Mirko Allegrini (Ita), Moises Aldape Chavez (Mex) and Domenico Pozzovivo (Ita) will be the Elite riders in the team, joined by four neo-pros: Tiziano Dall'Antonia (Ita), Matteo Priamo (Ita), Maximiliano Richeze Ariel (Ita) and Miguel Angel Rubiano Chavez (Col).
Team Swift Cycle with Horner, Rodriquez and Curi
Team Swift has announced that their "Cycle with Champions" ride and fundraiser on Sunday November 13, 2005, will be attended by additional North American cycling professionals such as Chris Horner (Saunier Duval-Prodir) and Freddie Rodriguez (Davitamon-Lotto), Katheryn Curi (Webcor Builders) as well as the organizer of the Tour of California, Jim Birell. Cycling enthusiasts of all levels can therefore come together to ride with pros and talk about the upcoming Tour of California with the organiser.
Following the ride, Jim Birell, the developer of the inaugural Tour of California (amgentourofcalifornia.com) will discuss the tour route which includes a stage one finish in Santa Rosa. In addition, Chris Horner, Freddie Rodriquez and Kathyrn Curi, US National Women�s Road Champion, will now attend the event, which gathered over 200 cyclists last year. Other well-known cyclists to attend the event include Brenda Lyons (Victory Brewery), Dylan Casey, John Peters, Steven Cozza (U23 Discovery Channel/Specialized USA NationalTeam) as well as Roberto Gaggioli, Glenn Fant and Lynn Gaggioli from the Monex Racing Team.

Historia
Służba Celna została powołana na mocy Ustawy o Służbie Celnej z dnia 24 lipca 1999 r. Do dnia 30 kwietnia 2002 r. na jej czele stał Prezes Głównego Urzędu Ceł. W wyniku likwidacji Głównego Urzędu Ceł stosownie do Ustawy o przekształceniach w administracji celnej oraz o zmianie niektórych ustaw z dnia 20 marca 2002 r., obowiązki kierowania Służbą Celną przejął Szef Służby Celnej.

AOA´s fire suppression system offers several benefits over existing solutions. The system is comprised of both water mist for fire knockdown and a long-term suppression system for safe ETOPS operation. The water mist system is based on a two-phase mixture of water and nitrogen gas; this mixture is released as water mist through simple spray nozzles into the cargo hold. AOA`s fire suppression system is not only safe, it's also reliable and environmentally friendly.

Humane Insight
Looking at Images of African American Suffering and Death (New Black Studies)
Courtney R. Baker - 2015-08-30
In the history of black America, the image of the mortal, wounded, and dead black body has long been looked at by others from a safe distance. Courtney Baker questions the relationship between the spectator and victim and urges viewers to move beyond the safety of the "gaze" to cultivate a capacity for humane insight toward representations of human...

A picture window of our Sunday afternoon and the bowling alley. Luke was sad that it was too cold to go snowboarding. This weekend was icy with windchill values of -32 C. We're tough, but we're not that tough. So to cheer him up we played a couple games at our local lanes. It was Eve's first time "bowling". She had to wear a size 8, the smallest size of shoe even though she's a 5. It was a fun time, and a nice escape from cabin fever.


On the day I jumped from a mere 52 specialist to a 60 broadcaster in Klout I thought it might be time to discuss social media influence.
I guess by now most people have heard of the 1,9,90 rule, for those who have not: 1% of your community create and drive large amounts of activity, 9% are editors who modify content or add opinion around created content and the other 90% who tend to read and observe but rarely contribute to the community. So your primary influencers are the 1% of the community important to remember that a community does not just exist within the closed wall of a linkedin group or facebook page, they proliferate their content and opinions across more than one channel.
There have been many posts about Klout and Peer Index (the two big influencer measurement tools) most of them have been pretty negative as a whole claiming massive inaccuracies due to their method of measurement. To be honest I don't blame people for slamming these services when the editor of mashable can have a higher influence than the President of the United States (argue-ably the most influential person in the world) it does start to pose a few questions. Personally I think both services have a few flaws but then they have a massive task of attempting to turn what is essentially qualitative relationship based interactions into hard qualitative statistics.
When they start banding around one liners such as "the standard for influence" is probably not helping their cause, but for me they still have value and I will keep using them to hunt down influencers for any given campaign I may be working on at any one time, this said they are by no means the only method I use, finding real influencers is no easy task and there should be a manual process, after all your looking for that magic 1%!! Even some of the some of the more expensive options out there such as Meltwater Buzz cannot capture it all, it really does take you looking across all their social networks, where they are commenting and engaging to gain a comprehensive view of what that user is doing, how many people are acting upon information they are receiving from said user and to what extent.
Another issue these influence metrics have is they can be 'gamed', they are pretty easy to break unfortunately you'll find a raft blog posts out their showing how easy it is to do, that's why using as many tools as possible and then putting in some manual graft will get you closer to the influencers you need to find.
We like to work up a social mood board of influencers we have identified by benchmarking in solutions such as klout, from tweets to forum comments to blog posts and the list goes on, this gives us a good picture of that person to work from and helps us think about tactics we can use for the best possible response, and chances are even after all of that, they still may not want to pick up on the content or incentives we are feeding them to filter through their networks. Working with humans in this social environment is tough and working out influencers and sentiment cannot be solely given to 'nifty' algorithm, perhaps in a few years when AI is a little more advanced, but for now this needs to be a manual process.
I hope this article has not sounded like I'm trying to bash these tools, personally I'm a fan as they work well as a bench marking tool to begin the discovery process, and will only get better over time.


It's amazing to me how sometimes the most simple things move us in really big ways. Just when I get so wrapped up in something, God can speak and ideas are formed and suddenly its like, "Oh, hey, God! I hear you. I get it." Have you ever experienced something like this before? It happened to me just last week. Let me tell you the story.
So, the last week and a half or so has been extra busy for me. Those of you that know me well know that my level of busy often tops the charts….last week was insane. On a scale of one to crazy, I hit crazy mid-week. I packed up six years of teaching and moved to a new school, unpacked those six years, painted a classroom and 81, yes, EIGHTY-ONE, lit-tle tiny cubbies (emphasis added), found creative ways to store what I had to keep, and got rid of what I could to make this upcoming school year successful. In fact, I'm going back today to finish all of the little jobs that just have (well, need) to be done before I go back to work on Wednesday. (Is the summer REALLY almost over?) And I'm telling you, it was God that I didn't ever book that late summer cruise I was just dying to go on….He knew I'd be wrapped up in all of this! I love the feel of a fresh start and so I feel doubly happy that I'm starting a new school year at a new school (who doesn't love sparkly white boards, new boxes of crayons, never-before- used pencils, and crisp white notebook paper? The smells get to me in a good way and make me so excited for the new beginning.) So, you can imagine that my love of all those things paired with a new grade level, a new school, and new friends really got me excited! I'll have to write a post about the transformation Room 103 has undergone. You won't believe it! Anyway, last week, as I was hanging some bright fabrics over my bulletin boards, one of the boards caught my eye. They all looked the same, actually, but for some reason – I think God was speaking– this one got me.
I stopped for a minute and started reading all of the writing 4th graders have done over the years. Mostly just names and dates, the board was covered with kiddo graffiti. And I'm sure all of these kids probably thought that writing all over the cork board would leave a piece of themselves in that very classroom. Oh, to be a fly on the wall over the years! As a teacher, I wonder what kind of chaos must have ensued for there to be so much written on just one board….better yet, how OLD is this board? Having taught sixth grade for six years I've learned one thing….ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
I stopped and thought about how my students would probably never witness the signed boards that would be hidden behind the bright fabrics and glittery borders. They'd never know what mark all of these people have left….even one from 1986!….because I'd cover them up. And the next teacher? They'll know. They'll see.
What made the most impact on me was realizing that while I didn't see a name I recognized, God knew who all of these people were. He knows where they are today….whether or not what they learned in room 103 stayed with them. I wonder if the mark they're leaving on the world is larger than the mark they left on the old cork board in my classroom. Hmmm…something to think about!
What about you? Me? How are we leaving a mark? It is more than a signed name on a wall full of 4th grade signature graffiti? Is it impacting the generations behind us? Are we making a mark that we can be proud of? It definitely gives us something to think about. And going forward, I'm sure I'll sit in that classroom one day and consider the mark I make on those little lives….and the mark they're making on mine.

Q: how could I solve "ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x9a in position 8: ordinal not in range(128)"? ( A problem with cPickle in python 3) I'm using python 3.x and I want to run below code:
import cPickle
x = cPickle.load(open('s01.dat', 'rb'))

It works very well in python 2.x but when I try in python 3 I get this error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cPickle'

I solved it by some other post in the StackOverflow and changed my code to :
import _pickle as cPickle
x = cPickle.load(open('s07.dat', 'rb'))

And I get this error:

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x9a in position
  8: ordinal not in range(128)

I try to solve it by changing the encoding like:
import _pickle as cPickle
x = cPickle.load(open('s07.dat', 'rb',encoding='iso-8859-1'))

or
import _pickle as cPickle
x = cPickle.load(open('s07.dat', 'rb',encoding='utf-8'))

but still I get this error:

ValueError: binary mode doesn't take an encoding argument

My *.dat file contains two arrays, and I expect to import them!
How could I overcome these problems?

A: My problem is solved by using @Macattack 's answer as below:
import pickle
x = pickle.load(open('s07.dat', 'rb'),  encoding='iso-8859-1')

A: First, if you're trying to use pickle in python3, just do import pickle (it uses the compiled cPickle when available) or from six.moves import cPickle if you need compatibility with python2.
Second, the encoding option you need is the one that gets sent to pickle.load not to open. Try:
x = cPickle.load(open('s07.dat', 'rb'), encoding='utf-8')

What are you doing about your birds?
I can't see the PP discussion, as I'm not a member of the PP forum. What are people saying?
I can just see them huddled together, eating Doritoes and watching Countryfile!
Mine are under a roof but I'm going to be careful where I walk with the dog - there's a path in the park where the geese tend to gather so will try not to walk the mess back into the run.
But I was just wondering - separate shoes for going out into the run? If you was to use a foot-bath what do you put in it?
In practice for a back garden keeper this would mean that if you have a big enough coop the easiest option would be to contain them within it. I know many have smaller coops that aren't suitable for containment with food and water. In these circumstances you need to put a cover over your run or similar that will prevent wild birds coming into contact.
It needs to be remembered that migratory birds will fly over head and droppings can quickly pass contamination. As such ideally cover all sides of the run at upper levels and make sure the lower area is either covered or has such small mesh that no birds could come through. If you have a shed or other area you can contain your flock in this may be a good idea until the restrictions and risk has passed.
Keeping a clean coop and covered or enclosed run is more important that ever. Disinfect clothing and footwear before and after entering the coop or run, and keep contact to a minimum.
What if I don't have a Run?
If you haven't got a run or a large enough coop to contain your birds for the 30 day period, then the cheapest option would be to create you own lean-to run. This would be my preferred option. With some wooden posts, weld mesh, and a length of tarp to cover, you could easily pop something together in a morning that would last for the period of the restrictions.
Which Weld Mesh is Best for Poultry Runs?
The second option is to buy a run if you don't have the time to make your own.
If poultry keepers or the general public find dead wild waterfowl (swans, geese or ducks) or gulls, or five or more dead wild birds of other species in the same location, they should report them to the Defra helpline by calling 03459 33 55 77.
The full Government guidance can be found here - Avian Flu Guidance.
I hope you all have a good Christmas, and that your flock isn;t too unhappy with their temporary housing arrangements.
Not sure what is happening over here? The news said that the spread of outbreaks in the Southwest were caused by a feed delivery lorry which visited an infected duck farm first! Apart from a chicken farm around the La Rochelle region there are no reports of anything other than Geese and Ducks being affected. Problem here is no-one has the facilities to contain their birds- they all run around the open fields as part of the process. Free range small farm production is what the customers want in France. Looks like things may have to change.
From our point we have most of ours in covered runs, but the sparrow population is causing potential problems as they are small enough to get through the mesh. Changing the mesh on 40 run panels isn't an option, so we will just have to keep a close eye on our chickens and keep frightening the sparrows away.
We won't be accepting any visitors and don't know now if we will be able to visit the farm to collect our Christmas Turkey because they also have free ranging chickens? They have a 10Km containment zone around infections, so no movements. They have a 3Km slaughter zone around infections so all neighbouring same species are killed (if I have translated the news item correctly).
Sounds like they know exactly how it started Chris so best chance of nipping it out I hope. Everything crossed for you.
That's really helpful, Chickenfan, thank you. Geese and ducks are the main migratory species to carry bird flu, but any birds can catch it. The problem is greatest for people with large free range flocks, who, in giving their birds a decent quality of life, haven't the facilities to keep them indoors other than at roosting time. And of course, 2-3 weeks before Chistmas is an especially bad time, as the national poultry population is at its highest and just about due to be considerably reduced anyway within a week or so.
For those if us with a few pet birds, it does point up the advantages of having a big enough run to contain them comfortably, even if we sometimes let them out to trash the garden. Not only no need to panic about bird flu, but very much less risk of redmite or predators, and no muddy floor if the run is roofed. The Government vet was saying yesterday that there have been no outbreaks in the UK yet, and the aim is for us all to try to keep it that way. It's no use saying you only have a few birds, why bother, because if any if them should get it, not only your flock but everyone else's in the exclusion zone would be culled, commercial or otherwise. The risk is very small indeed at the moment - I suppose it's a case of us all trying our best to increase herd immunity.
Could you post the link to the pages you quoted, Chickenfan, as it sounds as if they have further links to ideas about how to set up a temporary run etc.
I have two coops, each with a 6 foot run. Only 6 birds in total, so I will manage, but the younger birds HATE being confined. I will have to work hard to make their run more interesting, to prevent boredom/ feather pecking, etc. Any ideas, anyone?

I have found this dispenser thing to be very good for dropping some scratch etc in the run during the day and keeping them on their toes. Its made of a cheap mains timer with a short length of drain pipe hot melt glued to the moving ring.
A free-standing screen or two are also useful as they make the space go a little further by blocking views across the run.
A plastic bottle with holes in and small treats inside.
Apart from a cabbage I'm struggling to think of anything else.


If you are currently addicted to Sherlock Season 3 and are frustrated that the number of episodes are so short, we have some fantastic news for you. Your Sherlock fix can continue by downloading a Sherlock app called Sherlock: The Network.
Unfortunately though, we can tell that the Sherlock The Network app Android release date has once again gone missing. It's yet another high profile app that has first been developed with iPhone and iPad users in mind as a priority.
The app itself is amazing. It features brand new video footage of your heroes Sherlock played by Benedict Cumberbatch and Watson played by the excellent Martin Freeman.
Even more exciting is that the app allows you to assume the role of a member of Sherlock's homeless network and you must work against the clock to solve a series of puzzles around London. Like the TV show, you can utilize various transport methods on your quest such as the London tube as pictured below.
Join Sherlock and John to solve a series of puzzles..
Watson will be on hand to assist you along the way, often giving you various texts, voicemails and Facetime calls in a style that echoes the amazing BBC production that you have just witnessed with Sherlock Series 3 on your TV screens.
The app isn't free however, as it costs £2.99 to download. Having said that, this is probably one app that you wouldn't mind paying the fee for as the effort that has gone into it can be seen by all.
Over on the Sherlock app website, you can already see that over 20,000 users have joined 'the network' in a space of a few days, with the creators promising new content once the number grows further.
For those asking, we can also reveal that the Sherlock app release date in US is going to be January 27, while the price is going to be set at $4.99.
As an Android owner reading this, are you frustrated by the fact that these high profile apps are always developed with iOS in mind first?
At the time of writing, there is no update whatsoever on the likelihood of an Android version coming out soon.
81% of smartphones shipped worldwide in the 3rd quarter of 2013 were running android so you don't have to be Sherlock to see that the programmers either missed the boat or the iOS is so simplistic that Apps, good or foul, can be easily written and blindly downloaded to a testbed of simpletons who will whine about each and every bug. Hopefully once the app is fully vetted through this street network, it will be worthy of 81% of smartphone purchases.
I'll say there's an android demand, given that there were approximately 13 million viewers of one of the episodes of series 3 and the fact that Samsung Galaxy Androids are some of the most popular mobiles going. Rotten business sense.
While it's very frustrating, the large majority of people use iOS over android, so if most developers had to pick only one to release their app on, it would be that.
Why they couldn't have arranged a simultaneous release though is beyond me, but as long as it's coming, I'll wait as long as it takes.
This is terrible news for Android users.. it's easily the best Sherlock app available – coming so soon after Season 3 too. Bit harsh from the makers!


Your source for everything retro. 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond!
This is a fun little episode from Screen Junkies featuring rarely seen Star Wars interviews. The interviews are pretty interesting, as you would think the cast of Star Wars would know most of the details and plot of a movie they spent months working on. However, it turns out you could turn to your mother right now and ask her to break down the Star Wars movies and she would probably do as good a job as any of the actors of the original films did. It's pretty great. Enjoy!
This is a fun little Stranger Things/Peanuts mashup by Leigh Lahav & Oren Mendez. It will now usurp A Nightmare Before Christmas as our post Halloween/Pre-Christmas go to. Enjoy!
In the sequel to movie posters to sequels that were never made, we look at more poster to movie sequels that were never made. Will this sequel live up to the original's brilliance? You decide. Enjoy.
In why the hell not news, this is a website by Jess Morrissette, a political science professor and amateur video game developer who is attempting to archive via screenshot every soda machine that's ever appeared in a video game. Damn right he is! What are you doing with your life? Helping the needy? Oh…well that's good too I guess. Anyway, check out the site here and if you want to contribute to the cause (tis' the season for giving afterall) you can tweet your screenshots to @decafjedi. Keep on fighting the good fight! P.S. There are games called Pepsiman and MyCoke?

Hip-Hop (And Other Things)
...is about, as it were, rap, but also some other things. It's a smart, fun, funny, insightful book that spends the entirety of its time celebrating what has become the most dominant form of music these past two and a half decades.
Tupac is in there. Jay Z is in there. Missy Elliott is in there. Drake is in there. Pretty much all of the big names are in there, as are a bunch of the smaller names, too.
There's art from acclaimed illustrator Arturo Torres, there are infographics and footnotes; there's all kinds of stuff in there. Some of the chapters are serious, and some of the chapters are silly, and some of the chapters are a combination of both things. All of them, though, are treated with the care and respect that they deserve.
Hip-Hop (And Other Things) is the third book in the (And Other Things) series. The first two—Basketball (And Other Things) and Movies (And Other Things)—were both #1 New York Times bestsellers.
Shea Serrano's most recent book, Movies (And Other Things), was, among other things, a #1 New York Times bestseller. His previous book, Basketball (And Other Things) was also a #1 New York Times bestseller and was selected by President Barack Obama as one of his favorite reads of the year. His book before that, The Rap Year Book, was also a New York Times bestseller, and was turned into a documentary that aired on AMC. Currently, he is a staff writer for The Ringer where he co-hosts the popular rap podcast No Skips.

The heart is the most vital organs for humans. Healthy heart will result in quality of life better. However, not everyone has a heart condition that functions perfectly.
Coronary heart disease is heart disease which many sufferers the most. This disease attacks the blood vessels and can cause heart attacks. A heart attack caused by clogged arteries that impede the distribution of oxygen and nutrients to the heart. However, not all heart disease caused by blood vessel problems.
The heart that beats too slow (below 60 beats per minute) is called bradyarrhythmias. While above 100 beats per minute is called tachyarrhytmias. All the disorders are usually caused by heart disease and usually are inborn.
Although many kinds of heart disease, but particularly heart disease caused by blockage of blood vessels can be overcome or avoided by eating foods containing fiber. Another thing that is also important as lowering blood cholesterol levels is by exercising regularly.
Heart Healthy Foods - What Is It?
Various studies show, eat fiber foods can reduce levels of bad cholesterol (low densy lipoprotein / LDL) in blood. If the blood levels of LDL in the low, heart health becomes more secure.
Oats or wheat fiber is soluble fiber that can lower LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) without lowering HDL (good cholesterol). That way, oatmeal is good for diabetics because someone who has consumed this fiber, the sugar level is low.
High LDL is the main cause of increased cases of coronary heart disease. Although pharmacological therapy more quickly to lower LDL, with wheat cereal consumption is more healthy and without side effects. But it takes time.
Oatmeal is a good source of nutrition because it contains vitamin E, zinc, selenium, copper, iron, and magnesium. Oatmeal also can be a good source of protein for the body.
Other fiber sources, in addition to wheat, can also be found in avocado, grapes, apples, berries and citrus fruits. Avocados contain antioxidants glutathione and monounsaturated fats. This substance is useful to neutralize free radicals and fat, both of which are destructive in the body.
Grapes contain flavonoids, such as catechins quercentin and can prevent bad cholesterol oxidation reactions, accelerate blood flow, and reduce the formation of plaque in blood vessels. Grapes also contain vitamin C that can neutralize free radicals.
An apple contains a lot of pectin, the type of fiber can help lower blood cholesterol levels. Pectin binds cholesterol that comes from food, such as from milk, meat, and eggs.
Soy proteins also contain fiber, vitamins, and minerals that are healthy food ingredients to the heart.
