For one brief moment Victorian Britain became obsessed with Ethiopia, or as they knew it, Abyssinia. In July 1868 Prime Minister Disraeli addressed the Commons to laud "one of the most remarkable military enterprises of the century". That Easter, an Anglo-Indian force led by Sir Robert Napier had triumphed, with the "standard of St George… hoisted on the mountains of Rasselas". Disraeli tended to privilege effect over fact, and his reference to the fictional Rasselas, born of his reading of Dr J

Medical assistants are supporting members of the medical field. They don't make diagnoses, administer medicine or examine patients. They do take vital signs, update patient records, make appointments and get patients ready for examination by the physician. They interact quite a lot with patients, though they may also have administrative and clerical duties.
Medical assistants don't necessarily have to have formal training, but many employers prefer to hire assistants who do. Medical attendant classes are available at technical, junior and vocational schools. These programs typically take one year to complete, though some colleges offer two-year programs that culminate in an associate's degree. There are employers who are willing to hire inexperienced candidates and train them on the job, but these are in the minority.
Medical Assistant Certification is voluntary but, again, many employers prefer to hire certified medical aides. There are several organizations that offer certification, such as the American Association of Medical Assistants. Exact guidelines for earning certification depends on the organization's rules, but typically include attending an accredited training program and passing an exam. Every organization charges a fee to take the exam.
Where Will I Work? What are the Job Prospects?
There were over half a million medical attendants employed in 2012, and most of them work in physicians' offices, while the rest worked in other healthcare settings like hospitals and laboratories. Most work full-time and may have to work various shifts, depending on the hours of the facility they work for. In 2013, the median income for medical assistants was $29,610, according to O*Net Online. This works out to an hourly wage of about $14.24.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics expects a 29 percent increase in job opportunities for medical assistants through the year 2022. This translates to over 162 thousand job openings. This rate of increase is considered better than average, as most occupations are expected to increase by 11 percent. Assistants who attended classes and hold certification are expected to have better prospects than those with no formal training.


Filming starts on Government-supported Churchill production.
Production has started in locations across Scotland on the untold story of the former Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, in the build-up to the June 1944 D-Day landings.
Churchill, starring Brian Cox and directed by Bafta award winner Jonathan Teplitzky, is a Salon Pictures production in association with Tempo Productions. It has received £250,000 from the £1.75 million Production Growth Fund administered by Creative Scotland.
The film charts the tension between Winston Churchill and Allied leaders during the five days before D-Day, and will be released in January 2017.
During a visit to the set, Culture Secretary Fiona Hyslop witnessed first-hand how the Fund is being used to support production. She discussed the film and its background with the production team, watched filming and met with a team of young Scottish crew.
"Scotland is widely recognised as a location for international film and TV productions. The talent of the Churchill cast and crew highlights why Scotland is an attractive place to shoot large-scale productions.
"During my visit, I met three young Scottish crew members, including a trainee grip, costume trainee and a floor runner, to hear about their experiences working in the screen sector of Scotland. It's vital that we continue to work together collectively to encourage fresh talent into the TV and film industry.
The Production Growth Fund aims to stimulate growth in screen production and encourages international productions to come to Scotland.
Pictured with Ms Hyslop are (L-R): Suvi Wallendahr – Costume Trainee, David Clarke – Trainee Grip and Calais Brown – Floor Runner.

An increased focus on antibody titers raises questions concerning the indications for performing titers, titer interpretation and limitations, and the role of titers when making vaccination decisions for patients.
The publication of vaccination guidelines for dogs and cats (see Links to Vaccination Guidelines)—intended to provide useful insights on the selection and use of vaccines—also elicited some degree of controversy regarding implementation of these vaccination recommendations in practice.
In particular, the recommendation to administer core vaccines to adult dogs and cats at 3-year intervals (or longer) rather than annually resulted in differences of opinion among veterinarians. After all, veterinarians have been recommending annual boosters for years, doing so in accordance with manufacturer recommendations.
Therefore, the growing group of veterinarians who were skeptical of triennial vaccination recommendations began measuring antibody titers from individual patients to assess duration of immunity (DOI) and determine whether a patient required revaccination. As demand for vaccine titers increased, veterinary laboratories began offering antibody titer panels for dogs and cats while 2 companies developed in-clinic antibody tests.
What are the indications for performing titers?
When interpreting antibody titers, what test limitations apply?
How should test results be interpreted when making vaccination decisions for individual patients?
How well does a positive antibody titer (or test kit result) correlate with protective immunity in a patient?
How well does a negative titer (or test kit result) correlate with susceptibility in a patient?
The only true test of protective immunity involves exposure (challenge) to a virulent pathogen in which nonvaccinates (controls) are infected and manifest clinical illness while vaccinated animals remain healthy. Animal vaccines are licensed based on this premise.
Interpreting antibody test results depends on understanding what results do and do not represent. In the clinical setting, antibody levels offer diverse and distinct clinical applications (see It's All About PIE).
Different classes of antibody, also called immunoglobulin (Ig), have specialized functions (identified and categorized as IgA, IgG, IgE, or IgM). In veterinary medicine, the antibody titers used to assess protective immunity typically represent the IgG class.
When using an in-clinic test kit to measure (qualitative or semiquantitative) antibody levels, results are reported as either positive (indicates protection) or negative (indicates susceptibility) and must be correlated with gold standard laboratory tests, such as virus neutralization (VN) or hemagglutination inhibition (HI), in order to accurately represent a defined threshold of antibody. Both in-clinic tests have been correlated through VN, HI, or challenge testing results. While the correlation studies were conducted independently through universities, the data is available through the respective companies that manufacture the in-clinic test kits.
A positive test result indicates the patient does have protective levels of antibody against the virus.
A negative test result indicates the patient does not have protective levels of circulating antibody. However, a negative test result does not necessarily define susceptibility.
Protection (P): Some, but not all, antibody results correlate well with protection (eg, canine and feline parvovirus). A patient with a positive titer or test result for parvovirus antibody can be considered protected.
Infection (I): On the other hand, antibody presence can represent evidence of active infection (eg, feline immunodeficiency virus).
Exposure (E): Other antibody test results indicate prior exposure to an infectious agent (eg, Ehrlichiosis) or vaccine (eg, rabies) and do not predict either protection or active infection.
Seroconversion, the antibody response that follows vaccination, can be identified for most vaccines administered to dogs and cats. However, the development of antibody does not necessarily equate to protective immunity.
Even if antibody test results are positive after feline herpesvirus (FHV) and feline calicivirus (FCV) vaccination, results do not correlate well with protective immunity; these results are not generally recommended for use when making vaccination decisions for an individual cat.
The correlation between the gold standard antibody test for FHV-1 (VN) and protection is only fair; cell-mediated immunity is a better correlate of protection against FHV-1.
The correlation between the gold standard test for FCV (VN) and protection is fair to good.
Rabies antibody titers, as determined by fluorescent antibody virus neutralization (FAVN), are only available through a limited number of certified laboratories. It is important to note that a rabies virus antibody titer cannot be interpreted as an index of immunity in lieu of revaccination.
If a client would like to determine whether a young dog/cat responded to the initial vaccination series (usually 3 doses), in-clinic test kits provide an excellent means of identifying those that did respond versus those that did not and, therefore, remain susceptible.
For veterinarians faced with treating confirmed parvovirus infection in a well vaccinated dog or cat, antibody testing can be used to rapidly determine whether the affected animal developed a protective immune response following the initial vaccination series.
A positive antibody test suggests the vaccinated patient was infected during a period of susceptibility (eg, in the presence of MDA).
Patients with a negative test result are likely to be susceptible (genetic) non-responders (or low-responders).
The antibody test does not distinguish vaccine-induced seroconversion from that caused by infection.
For patients with a history of a known, or suspected, serious vaccine adverse event (reaction), evaluating the level of antibody will determine whether the patient has previously developed a protective immune response to vaccination. Patients with a positive test result can avoid revaccination and potential risk for an adverse event.
Among previously vaccinated animals, immune memory (B-lymphocytes) can be sustained for many years despite declining antibody levels; exposure to a pathogenic virus (eg, distemper or parvovirus) can result in a rapid and protective anamnestic response.
Prior history of a vaccine adverse reaction is not predictive of future risk.
Immunization may not be optional, regardless of the antibody status of the individual (eg, rabies).
Clientele who have adopted an adult dog/cat that has no known vaccine history may elect to avoid vaccination if a protective level of immunity can be determined serologically.
International guidelines for administration of core vaccines to adult dogs and cats consistently recommend revaccination schedules of no more often than every 3 years for core antigens (CAV-1*/CDV/CPV and FCV/FHV/FPV). However, with regard to rabies vaccination, veterinarians must follow state or local laws.
Immunization status of young animals presented to animal shelters is often unknown. Because the infection risk among shelter-housed dogs and cats is high, determining antibody status of an animal at time of entry allows vaccination and separation (foster) of animals deemed susceptible until a positive test result is obtained.
Antibody test kits offer shelters a management advantage when faced with an infectious disease outbreak involving CDV, CPV, or FPV. Identifying and separating animals with positive (protected) test results from those with negative (susceptible) results may help avoid unnecessary euthanasia.
When feasible, susceptible animals should be isolated from the general population, which limits propagation of the outbreak. Isolated, seronegative survivors can be placed or adopted once the incubation period for the infectious agent has passed (2 weeks for CPV and FPV; 6 weeks for CDV).
*All antibody tests detect antibodies against CAV-1; however, the vaccine antigen protects against CAV-2 (a respiratory pathogen), which also cross protects against the more serious, systemic CAV-1 (canine hepatitis virus).
A positive antibody test result in an unvaccinated, but healthy dog or cat suggests prior exposure to and recovery from infection; the patient has protective immunity.
A positive antibody test result in a previously vaccinated dog or cat correlates well with protective immunity.
A negative antibody test result in a previously vaccinated dog or cat must be interpreted on the basis of age and prior vaccination history.
Negative test result in protected patient: Over time, antibody levels in a previously vaccinated adult dog or cat that is not revaccinated (or naturally exposed) may fall to negative levels. Memory cells (B-lymphocytes), however, can persist longer than antibody. Exposure to virulent virus is expected to rapidly boost the patient's antibody response and protect.
Negative test result in susceptible patient: A puppy or kitten that is antibody negative following administration of initial core vaccine series is considered susceptible to infection if exposed. These patients may be (genetic) non-responders (or low-responders) or received the vaccine during a period when interfering levels of MDA were present.
Current vaccination guidelines recommend administration of the last dose of core vaccines at 14 to 16 weeks of age in puppies and 16 weeks of age in kittens.
Antibody titers may be determined as early as 2 to 4 weeks following completion of initial vaccination series.
A puppy or kitten that is seronegative at 18 weeks of age should be revaccinated not less than 2 weeks following the last dose. Antibody testing can then be performed as early as 2 weeks following administration of this last vaccine dose.

TIP! Avoid using harmful substances like bleach, ammonia, acetone, turpentine and the like to clean them. This can cause the stones to lose their luster in addition to eating away the enamel on any of the pieces.
Don't use things that contain harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, acetone or turpentine, to clean your jewelry. These chemicals can turn stones dull and even erode the enamel.
TIP! Do some research on the gem in your new piece of jewelry before you buy. Natural gems and imitation gems have been joined recently by synthetic gems, making three main categories.
Keep your jewelery in a space that is dry and doesn't have any air flow. To keep your jewelry properly protected, store it in a drawstring bag or jewelry box. Tarnish is a chemical reaction that happens when silver and other metals are exposed to moisture and air. Precious metal jewelry can be polished to fix tarnish, but non-precious metals coated with a finish will never get back to their previous state.
TIP! Your jewelry should be durable and long-lasting. When selecting jewelry, a reputable jeweler is indispensable to ensuring you get quality items.
Always look at a number of different places when you are shopping for diamonds. Take a good look at all the pieces that you like, examining them and comparing them to each other. There are ways to hide some of a diamond's imperfections, so be very particular about each one you view.
TIP! Do your research before settling on one diamond. Take a good look at all the pieces that you like, examining them and comparing them to each other.
If you want to maintain the look of your jewelry, you should prevent it from becoming tarnished. Don't wear jewelry near water. This could cause your jewelery to rust or become more dull. Clear nail polish, applied in a thin coat, can give jewelry some added protection.
If you want costume jewelery, you will have to take care of it. If you do not maintain the piece, it will depreciate in value. Jewelry that's in good repair can be a much better investment.
TIP! Keep your jewelry from getting tarnished in order to keep it looking it's best. For example, avoid taking your jewelry somewhere it can get wet.
You need to take special care of costume jewelry. Costume jewelry is generally bound by glue rather than settings and is therefore, a lot more fragile. Don't immerse costume jewelry in water, and never wash costume jewelery pieces with harsh chemicals. The best way to clean these pieces are to wipe them clean with a damp cloth and dry immediately with another cloth. Done regularly, this process will keep your costume jewelry looking great.
TIP! You need to learn the best ways to take care of your jewelry. Jewelry is composed of different stones, metals, and settings that all require different care to be properly maintained.
Your jewelry will stay cleaner if you wait until after you apply make-up to put it on. If you put on makeup after you put on your jewelry, dust and particles from the makeup will migrate to the jewelry, which makes it dirty quite quickly. This method is especially helpful in caring for necklaces or earrings.
TIP! By wearing a brooch, your belt will be accented and look more interesting. Try pinning it at the center of your waist or near your hip.
So, as you have seen, it is true that buying or selling jewelry requires research, work and effort so that you can buy the pieces that you want, or sell the pieces you have, for profit. Keep all the tips fresh in your mind, and you will find success.

We've entered the rainy season last month, but can you believe the scorching heat? The hot and humid weather felt like we are still experiencing summer, and we need all the help we can get to cool off.
I was in a haste to find the Robinsons Galeria loos, when I passed by this small kiosk that sell seemingly-awesome looking juices. They looked too inviting, I did not leave without getting myself a bottle. Among the many flavors available, I opted for a bottle of lemon juice, which is one of my favorites.
I grabbed a quick late lunch and paired my meal with my newly-discovered lemon juice. I enjoyed my meal while reading all about fender telecaster musicians friend. The juice was surprisingly not too sour as I expected and tasted just about right. It has a rich natural lemon flavor and was the perfect thirst-quencher. It was also delightful to find out that Islands Juice products are made fresh everyday and that they are devoid of HFCS, preservatives, food coloring, and artificial flavors, making it a very healthy juice for everyone in the family to enjoy.
Indeed, it made my day juicier. Now, I wish we have a branch in the local mall in our city so I can easily grab a bottle or two whenever I am craving for healthy and tasty juices!
For more information about their juice products, do check out the Islands Juice Facebook Page, facebook.com/Islands-Juice-661648853894993, and Instagram account, instagram.com/islandsjuice.

Occupying the northern half of the North American continent, Canada's land mass is 9,093,507 square kilometres, making it the second largest country in the world after Russia. In addition to coastlines on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, Canada has a third seacoast on the Arctic Ocean, giving it the longest coastline of any country. To the south, Canada shares an 8,893-kilometre land border—the longest in the world—with the United States. To the north, the Arctic islands come within 800 kilometres of the North Pole. Canada's neighbour across the Arctic Ocean is Russia.
Among Canada's most distinctive features are the vast mountain ranges: the Torngats, Appalachians and Laurentians in the east, the Rocky, Coastal, and Mackenzie ranges in the west, and Mount St. Elias and the Pelly Mountains in the north.
There are more than two million lakes in Canada covering about 7.6 percent of the country. The main lakes are Huron, Superior, Erie, and Ontario (known as the Great Lakes) as well as Great Bear, Great Slave, and Winnipeg. The St. Lawrence River (3,058 km long) is Canada's most important river, providing a seaway for ships from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. In total, Canada has almost 900,000 km2 of fresh water.
There are ten provinces and three territories in Canada spanning a few geographic regions. These are detailed in brief below with links to more reading and pictures on the Canadian Tourism Commission website. Agents should direct students wanting to learn about Canada to this website, and use it to familiarize themselves with the different parts of Canada.
Atlantic Canada: This region includes the provinces of Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nova Scotia. In these picturesque and charming provinces, you'll find some of the most unique and friendly people in the world. The music, folklore, seafood, and scenery in Atlantic Canada are unlike anywhere else. The region boasts countless beaches, coves, parks, and forests, and the towns and cities are often quaint and filled with Maritime artifacts. Tiny villages abound, but there are also exciting cities like Charlottetown, Fredericton, Halifax and St. John's. Central Canada: Quebec and Ontario are the provinces of Central Canada, and the exciting cities of Toronto, Ottawa (Canada's capital city), Montreal, and Quebec City are found in this region. Excellent cuisine is to be found in these cosmopolitan centres, but also in the smaller villages and towns, where fresh, local ingredients are proudly featured. There are glorious wine regions, the largest skating rink in the world (the Rideau Canal), Parliament Hill, dense forests, and excellent lakeside camping grounds. Central Canada is a perfect mix of urban delights and outdoorsy adventure.
The Prairies: In the prairie provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba is some of the most extraordinary natural beauty anywhere—from seemingly endless fields of wheat in the summer to almost Arctic conditions in the winter. This region is made for those who love hiking, boating, skiing, or fishing—and lots of space. At the same time, the cities and towns of Saskatchewan and Manitoba are incredibly diverse, friendly, and interesting—boasting a wonderful mix of immigrant cultures, cuisines, and celebrations. Read more.
The West: Like Central Canada, the western provinces of British Columbia and Alberta feature an extraordinary mix of nature and ultra-urban delights. But the nature is on a different scale— bigger, taller, and more open. Think mountains, ocean (British Columbia), wineries, golf, whale watching, stunning gardens, and the mildest climate in Canada. World-renowned ski resorts Whistler and Banff are in this region, as are the famous Rocky Mountains. British Columbia's city of Vancouver is one of the world's most beautiful with an eclectic mix of ethnicities and influences, many from Asia. Alberta's Calgary is one of the fastest-growing and newly affluent, thanks to an oil boom. Read more.
The North: Canada's North—encompassing the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut—is one of the most striking examples of pristine wilderness left in the world. Arctic creatures include polar bears, walruses, seals, white wolves, snowy owls, and caribou. Yet, while this region draws rugged adventurers and thrill-seeking tourists, it also contains some of Canada's most interesting, vibrant cities (e.g., Yellowknife, Whitehorse, Iqaluit) and amazing arts festivals featuring Inuit art and culture as well as those from more recent arrivals in the region. Read more.
About four-fifths of Canadians live within 160 kilometres of the country's southern border, where warm springs, hot summers, and pleasantly crisp autumns prevail for at least seven months. Canada's climate is characterized by its diversity, both from region to region and from season to season. While temperatures can drop below 0°C for a few months every year, Canada has four very distinct seasons: spring (March–May), summer (June–August), fall (September–October), and winter (November–February).
Canada's seasonal temperature variations are embraced by Canadians: there are so many leisure activities to choose from as a result, from swimming outdoors in the summer to skiing in the winter! Foreign students should know that all buildings in which they will study are well heated in winter months. Many campuses have underground tunnels through which students can move from building to building in the wintertime so as not to get cold. In short, winter is beautiful in Canada, and it is very easy to stay warm simply by dressing properly when going outdoors. Agents should advise students studying in Canada during winter months to invest in needed clothing, including a warm coat, a hat, mittens or gloves, a scarf, and boots.

volume of gas formula
Yup, keep in mind that for some questions all you need to do is substitute the correct values into the equation. Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\) shows two representations of how Boyle's law works. Unless otherwise noted, LibreTexts content is licensed by CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Butane burns in oxygen completely to produce carbon dioxide and water according to the following equation: What volume of oxygen is needed for the complete combustion of butane measured at room temperature and pressure? This particular gas law ia called Boyle's law, after the English scientist Robert Boyle, who first announced it in 1662. First, most of the questions you will have to answer using formulas are word-type questions, so the first step is to identify what quantities are known and assign them to variables. 1. This volume is called the molar volume of a gas. Unauthorized Copying is prohibited. Chemistry, Gas Volume Calculations, Molar Volume- IBDP | DSE | GCE | IAL | AP Chemistry, Before moving onto analyzing some examples, here are few reminders., The volume occupied by one mole of a gas is called the molar volume which is 24 dm3 / 24000 cm3, Number of moles of gas = Volume of gas / Molar Volume of gas, * Under the same temperature and pressure ❗ ❕. (Molar Volume of gas at room temperature and pressure= 24 dm3mol-1= 24000 cm3 mol-1), Step 1: Find the moles of C4H10 using the formula, Moles of C4H10= Volume of C4H10/ Molar Volume of gas, Step 2: Use mole ratio to find the moles of O2, From the equation, 2 moles of C4H10 require 13 moles of O2, Last Step: Rearrange the formula to find the volume of O2, Volume of O2 = Moles of O2 × molar Volume of gas, Volume of O2 = 0.130 mol × 24 dm3mol-1 = 3.12 dm3, Concept Cleared? There are also two volume variables; they also must have the same unit. A sample of gas has an initial pressure of 722 torr and an initial volume of 88.8 mL. AJ Design ☰ Math Geometry Physics Force Fluid Mechanics Finance Loan Calculator. Enter Your Email Below To Keep Yourself Updated on Such Useful Information. This equation is an example of a gas law. In most cases, it won't matter what the unit is, but the unit must be the same on both sides of the equation. When the volume increased, the pressure decreased, which is as expected for Boyle's law.

Watch the recordings here on Youtube! What is the new volume if temperature and amount are kept constant? Boyle's law relates a gas's pressure and volume at constant temperature and amount. A gas law is a simple mathematical formula that allows you to model, or predict, the behavior of a gas. 2. We can define it as the mass per unit volume of a substance under specific conditions of temperature and pressure. Finally, units must be consistent. We know that pressure and volume are inversely related; as one decreases, the other increases. There is more to it, however: pressure and volume of a given amount of gas at constant temperature are numerically related. Substitute the known quantities into the equation and solve. Leaving out the middle part, we have simply, \[P_1V_1 = P_2V_2 \text{ at constant n and T}\]. For more information contact us at info@libretexts.org or check out our status page at https://status.libretexts.org. When seventeenth-century scientists began studying the physical properties of gases, they noticed some simple relationships between some of the measurable properties of the gas. \[P_2 = \frac{722 \: \text{torr} \times 88.8 \: \cancel{\text{mL}}}{663 \: \cancel{\text{mL}}} = 96.7 \: \text{torr}\]. In addition, the density of a gas is equal to its mass divided by its volume. This equation is an example of a gas law. A sample of gas has an initial pressure of 2.44 atm and an initial volume of 4.01 L. Its pressure changes to 1.93 atm. 1 L = 1000 mL to have the same units for volume.  The volume occupied by one mole of a gas is called the molar volume which is 24 dm3 / 24000 cm3  Number of moles of gas = Volume of gas / Molar Volume of gas * Under the same temperature and pressure ❗ ❕ Example 1  If you take the pressure value and multiply it by the volume value, the product is a constant for a given amount of gas at a constant temperature: \[P × V = \text{ constant at constant n and T}\], If either volume or pressure changes while amount and temperature stay the same, then the other property must change so that the product of the two properties still equals that same constant. Universal Gas Constant: Solving for volume. Pressure is decreasing (from 2.44 atm to 1.93 atm), so volume should be increasing to compensate, and it is (from 4.01 L to 5.07 L). Whatsapp Us! Moreover, you can calculate the molar mass of a substance once you know the density of a gas. Missed the LibreFest? This particular gas law ia called Boyle's law, after the English scientist Robert Boyle, who first announced it in 1662. (Molar Volume of gas at room temperature and pressure= 24 dm3mol-1), Answer: No of moles of methane= Volume of methane/Molar volume of gas, Therefore, 1.44 dm3 / 24 dm3mol-1 = 0.0600 mol. So the answer makes sense based on Boyle's law. We also acknowledge previous National Science Foundation support under grant numbers 1246120, 1525057, and 1413739. For example, in Boyle's law there are two pressure variables; they must have the same unit. Legal. What is the number of moles of methane in 1.44 dm3 of the gas measured at room temperature and pressure? Scientists noted that for a given amount of a gas (usually expressed in units of moles [n]), if the temperature (T) of the gas was kept constant, pressure and volume were related: As one increases, the other decreases.

With the holidays looming, dining rooms across America are getting a face lift as people prepare for friends and family to gather around the table. Creating a pretty place to make family memories is fun, and it doesn't have to break the bank! Most tables will last a lifetime, I know from experience…I often wish my table would not last so long! I need an excuse to get a new one! 😉 An easy way to update your dining room on a budget is to add new chairs. Chairs have become very inexpensive and are available all over the place, so you are almost guaranteed to find something that you like for a steal. I have rounded up the best places to buy affordable dining chairs, and picked out some of the best affordable dining room chairs currently on the market so that you can give your dining room a fresh new look, without it costing a fortune. Most of these can be on your doorstep within a week.
If an entire set of new chairs is not in the budget, you can simply elevate your style by adding two new arm chairs at the head of the table. If you have all wood chairs, opt for something that is upholstered to update the look. If all the other chairs are upholstered, maybe opt for a patterned arm chair, or acrylic…something that will work with your set and make a statement. Modern Ghost chairs are an unexpected addition to a traditional space, just the right amount of modern to keep your design fresh.
Another option for changing up your look without replacing the entire set of chairs, is to mix and match new side chairs in with your existing set. Mixing and matching has become much more popular over the years and it gives your dining room more of a designer look. Find two fun new side chairs to add in with your current chairs. If your style is more traditional, keep with your current theme by adding upholstered French linen chairs but change things up a bit my mixing the wood tones or adding patterned upholstery to keep it interesting. One way to make mismatched chairs seem more cohesive is to paint them all the same color and upholster them with the same material.
Looking to update a farmhouse table? Industrial chairs bring a modern vibe to a room otherwise dominated by wood surfaces. The metal instantly updates the space with a more contemporary feel. Couple your rustic table with brightly painted mismatched wood chairs to create a colorful, welcoming dining room. Whether you're a minimalist, a mid-century modern lover or an industrial aficionado, there's a perfect dining chair option out there for you. Here are some of my favorite places to buy affordable dining chairs and a couple of the best options on the market right now. I have included affiliate links for your convenience. You can find out more about affiliate links here.
Whatever your choice, once you've picked the seats you want to add into your dining room, you can focus on what's really important…the fun that will be had and the memories that will be made gathered around the dining table. Decorating doesn't have to be expensive to be beautiful. Hopefully these affordable dining chairs will help you find something you love. That is what decorating your home is really all about.

Your Mom Too
Leslie Singer and Frank Kogan
Cover of Robin James' personal copy of the England's Newest Hit Makers cassette, with artwork and lettering by Leslie
audio transcriptions of the complete cassette sides of Robin James' personal copy of England's Newest Hit Makers
Your Mom Too songs were recorded between July 1986 and September 1986.
Both Leslie Singer and Frank Kogan sang and played guitar.
Leslie's solo stuff was recorded between June 1981 and April 1983.
Leslie played guitar, organ, and voice.
Frank's solo stuff was recorded during April 1986 with the exception of "Scene of the Crime" which was recorded live at J.B.'s in Kent, Ohio on April 26, 1985 with the following musicians: Tim Gilbride on guitar, Mark Edwards on drums, and Andrew Klimek on keyboards. Frank played guitar and sang as he did on his other solo stuff.

mp3 audio players below contain transcriptions of the songs
from a CD version of England's Newest Hit Makers provided by Frank
I received a letter from Frank Kogan dated October 20, 2018 in which he introduced himself, gave a brief timeline of his artistic and personal relationship with Leslie, described how they met and formed that partnership, and talked about how and when the England's Newest Hit Makers cassette was created. In the package he had enclosed a CDR version of their cassette together, numerous flyers from shows, and catalog lists, plus a CD reissue of his Stars Vomit Coffee Shop album (which is currently available online).
Click here to view documentation of Frank's classic album, and listen in streaming audio.
Excerpts from Frank's letter:
Leslie and I began playing together in early 1986, maybe April. We started dating shortly after that, got married in a couple of years, broke up a couple of years after that. Most of the music-making was early on; she began concentrating more on videos, me on writing. After the breakup we briefly did a group called "Ruby Tuesday" with our friends Patty Stirling and Alan Korn (devoted to covering Rolling Stones ballads). I don't know if I have any recordings of Ruby Tuesday.
Stars Vomit Coffee Shop is kinda how we met, since I figured that if I was hawking my cassette I should purchase other people's too and I read of her music in the back of Op magazine (I think it was in a column by Robin James perhaps saying she put out cassettes of "Pain-wracked noise," though that quote is from memory so I don't vouch for it 100 percent) and I ordered a copy and included a flyer for SVCS and in response she offered to trade more of her music for my cassette.
Leslie's Introductory Notes:
Sometime in 1985 Frank and I corresponded and traded cassettes. He sent me Stars Vomit Coffee Shop. I think I sent him Life is Too Funny — I Think I'll $hoot Myself. Then in early 1986, he moved to SF from NYC and he got in touch with me. We hung out a bit and he came to the American Kulture Nite show that I did with my roommates John Hricko and Helen Hampton. As part of the show, in addition to screening videos, John and I performed a Minutemen song in honor of the recently deceased D. Boon. John sang and we both played guitars. I was jumping around like Pete Townshend and Frank told me later that he decided right then and there that he had to be in a band with me. So that is how Your Mom Too began.
Frank came up with that name Your Mom Too. He said that he had heard some kids trading insults and the one that stuck in his mind was "Your Mom Too." He thought that was really good and very punk. I thought that it was apropos of the sound that he and I were going for so I went with it.
We rehearsed and recorded some songs in the split level apartment that Frank shared with three other roommates just a few doors up from the historic corner of Haight and Ashbury Streets in SF. Frank was really influenced by the mid '60's era Rolling Stones, The Stooges, and the New York Dolls. We both loved No New York. When we were working on the Your Mom Too recordings we were both inspired by old recordings by the Carter Family and Billie Holiday. Frank was also really into the Muddy Waters song, "I Can't Be Satisfied". Frank played a Fender Telecaster painted bright red. He would also practice his bass guitar to an old 45 recording of "Rocket 88" that featured a young Ike Turner. I'm not sure why we included two versions of "My Couch" since they are practically identical. I also don't know why we included the solo material from our past efforts but I'm glad we did as it ensured that demo versions of two of my Psychodrama songs got preserved along with other material from that era. In addition, one can experience in all its entire screeching glory, the song, "In the Future", a snippet of which was included on Diary of a Shiteater.
Side A — Your Mom Too
My Couch
My Couch (both versions)
Leslie spoken word section:
Okay, we are going to cool it down a little bit with Couch and I want to tell a little
story now. Once upon there was this woman and she read a book.
[in the background there is the sound of the front door buzzer]
My couch is black
My phone is white
My wall is white
My couch is black, black as the night
My phone is white, as white as the light
My couch is black, black as the street
My phone is white, white as chicken white meat
My couch is black, black as a cavity
My phone is white, as white as me
Hot Dog Fat
Hot dog fat is so good
So good to me
As you can plainly see
It's good and orange in the morning
It's good and orange in the night
It's all right
I've got a new boss
And her name is Deb
She is from Texas
And this is what she says
Gets me through the night
Give me $1,000,000
And I'll spend it all
Spend it all on hot dog fat
And holler out for more
Good and orange in the morning
Good and orange in the night
I've got a new boss and her name is Deb
Like a fire hydrant
I can't park by you
You're like a TV screen
There's no nudity
You're not like "GH"
You're not that silent
You're like the rain in Spain
You fall flat
Serve you right to suffer
Serve you right to be outside
Serve you right to be alone
I had a good woman
I made her leave her happy home
Underwear With No Holes
Got no underwear with holes in it now
That's what I said
Busted my big toe with a big loaf of German bread
That's what I mean
My white car got stolen now
It turns out it was painted green
All my underwear now is white and clean
My white couch in my house burned down right to the ground
You ain't never lied, cleaner than a Safeway chicken
My underwear's got no holes in it now
Busted my big toe
With a big loaf of German bread
All my underwear is white and clean
That's what I said
That's what I mean!
Mary's Song
Got no job
Got no man
Nothing holding me down
Nothing to keep me around
Got a dog
His name is Fido
He don't eat dog food
He only eats t-bone steak
Got a cat
Don't know what it takes
Nothing to hold me down
Cuz I got no job
Nothing to keep me down
Used to have a car
Then it got a flat
Used to have a pet flea
Then he jumped onto a cat
He walked away
And left me with this to say
Nothing to keep me in town
Got a dog named Fido
Don't eat dog food
Only eats t-bone steak
Doesn't know what it takes
Has got the fleas
Nothing to keep me down
Nothing to keep me in this ol' town
Roger Williams In America
Roger Williams put his girl in a rowboat
Without any oars
And he pushed her out to sea
And he said that no one can touch you
No one can lie about you
Roger Williams went to town
And he saw all the girls
He said I don't want any of you
You're not my girl
Cuz you're not my girl
Roger Williams went…
And he pushed her
And he said no one can touch you
There he saw all the girls
He said I don't want any of you-Hey!
You're not my girls
He said, he said
Spoken word section:
Leslie: Shall I tell a story?
Frank: Yeah.
Leslie: Once upon a time there was a plum. Except the plum was green. And
the plum drove a car that was black. So you had a green plum in a black car.
I know a Michael
And you know a Michael
But it's not the same Michael
And I made $32 worth of phone calls

9-18 — solo songs by Leslie Singer
according to the liner notes on the England's Newest Hit Makers cassette cover, Leslie's solo stuff was recorded between June 1981 and April 1983.
19-23 — solo songs by Frank Kogan
Boy Shoots Mom
Leslie:
This is the first/demo version of what became a Psychodrama song. In some ways this version is my favorite. Brett loved the screaming notes that I hit on this one. Some of them are extremely blood curling. The organ really gives it a macabre feel. Another story ripped from the headlines about the terrible consequences of children finding guns in the home.
Morris The Cat
LS:
This is about how news had gotten out in 1980 that the beloved 9Lives advertising mascot, Morris the Cat had died back in 1978. A meditation on feline longevity and consumerism. I recorded this at home in 1981 in my From Far Away, Beauty? days but don't recall ever bringing it to the group for consideration. I ran my guitar and an electronic metronome through the same amp to give it a really compressed trebly sound. I also ran the guitar through a Vox wah-wah pedal with the pedal all the way down to the metal to boost the treble even more. I really liked that shimmering razor blade sound that I could get by doing that.
Recorded at about the same time as "Morris the Cat", in 1981. Another true story; not necessarily ripped from the headlines but based on the time when I was about 11 years old and I accidentally flushed a cloth baby diaper down the toilet thereby clogging it. I've got the electronic metronome up to about 389 bpm and the guitar is trebly and feedbacking nicely. I think that this song could be the beginning of me reflecting on the anxieties and pleasures of domestic life that I would explore further with songs like "I Wash and Dry My Clothes at the Laundromat", "My Ironing Board", "Sweeper", and "My Hideous Pants".
Brian Eno Is Such A Communist Bitch
This is actually "Brian Eno is Such a Commercial Bitch" but there was a label typo on the England's Newest Hit Makers cassette cover so it read "Communist" , which leads nicely into the demo version of "Viva Vietnam Dada" as Vietnam was a communist country when both of these songs were written and recorded. I think that the "This one is for you Jon" is a reference to Jon Betts of FFA,B? and probably some argument that he, Brett and I got into. This song is from the period when I was writing and demo recording super short songs that I would refer to as Shorts. "Viva Vietnam Dada" got performed and recording to a good effect with Psychodrama.
Viva Vietnam Dada
Comments (featuring Darcey Singer)
My kid sister Darcey commenting on my beautiful music. She used to yell through my bedroom door while I was working on these songs to complain about the racket I was making. She would've been about six or seven years at the time. I got her to repeat her critique on tape as I thought it was funny, accurate and very cute.
This is probably one of the songs that triggered Darcey's complaint. A Short with no lyrics.
One of the songs that was excerpted on Diary of a Shit Eater, recorded in 1983. It's taken from a note that I saw that someone had left on the windshield of a car parked around Gough and Bush Streets in SF back when I was living on Van Ness Avenue. The note read "In the future, when you park your car, don't take up two spaces." I still had my pickup truck then so I was alert to such things. I think that someone had left the note on their windshield and had written the response to this suggestion — something to the effect of "What a bunch of shit." I guess there was some dispute as to whether their car was really taking up the one or two parking spaces. This time the car isn't crashing at least.
Cerebral Car Crash
...which leads us to another short song that I wrote and demo-recorded while in FFA, B?, in 1981. Very angry teen song, full of not very nice sentiments about my parents. However, it includes my first reference to Jackson Pollock, a subject that I would explore further on "I Think About Jackson Pollock." This may have also been the first song where I start to explore the car crash theme…
The Fire In The Brain Of Jesus
Inspired by Brett Kerby, I wrote my song referencing Jesus Christ. This song never got beyond the demo and lyric sheet stage as Brett and I moved to SF shortly after it's inception.

About the American Kulture Nite show, Frank Kogan wrote in October 2018:
It's the show where Leslie performed one song and jumped in the air every time she strummed the guitar, then at the end she said, "Okay, now for ART" to introduce the movies; I said to myself, "I need to form a band with this person."
February 14, 1987 (the Mary Chamberlain listed on the flyer is the Mary of "Mary's Song")
Frank Kogan:
The "cat piss party" flyer which was actually in lieu of Christmas cards (note that the "party" has no address or date; also the bands are non-existent) (I was reading Charles Perry's book about the San Francisco sound incl. his description of flyers for parties circa 1966, "Can You Pass The Acid Test"; I think there was a story in there about a band whose poster existed before the band did. I'd say The Charlatans except Wikipedia does not confirm this and maybe I'm confusing this with a story about Johnny and the Dicks in late '70s Cleveland).

the only live performance by Your Mom Too.

Frank Kogan and Leslie Singer, July 1987, at Leslie's parents' house, 308 Summers Drive, Alexandria, Virginia
Leslie:
Above:
In the photo of Frank and me on the couch (from July 1987), I'm wearing a Johanna Went t-shirt. She was an LA performance artist who also did music/noise stuff and weird stuff with food and trash. Circa 1989, Frank and I went to see her perform at Intersection for the Arts. During her show, there was a photographer who kept standing up in the front row taking pictures, blocking the view for others. Suddenly Frank became totally incensed by this guy, walked up to the front row while still holding his wedding leather jacket in one hand, shoved the guy back in his seat with his other hand and calmly walked back to his seat next to me. The guy didn't know what hit him and just sat there stunned, looking around. After that I got rid of the Johanna Went t-shirt...
Below:
Frank and I both wore jeans and leather jackets as our wedding outfits. To cap mine off, I wore a Mister Bubble t-shirt. Frank and I are surrounded by my parents and my sisters. Darcey is the one standing behind Frank. This was in September 1989. We got married in Alexandria as it was convenient for all our families to get there. (Frank's brother and his family lived in nearby Arlington.)

A few days had strung together consisting of our three-year-old, Ellis, becoming what I like to refer to as a demon child. For some reason, this demon seems to appear as soon as I get home from work. I understand that it's the end of the day and she is tired, which definitely has a huge control over any kid's behavior. What I began to realize, however, is the way it can control my own behavior. It instantly puts me in a bad mood, frustrated from being at work all day, driving in traffic, excited to see the wife and kids, yet having to now deal with her attitude. It's my own attitude that has led me down the path of spending my evening hours correcting her behavior and putting her on timeouts or threatening that some toy would be taken away. There's no way to reason with a pissed off toddler, no matter how calm you are as a dad, especially when they are just as stubborn and strong-willed as you are.
As the week wore on and my spirits continued to dwindle, I kept trying to figure out what I could do to fix the situation because it seemed as though this attitude is only directed towards me. Maybe it's because I have to constantly punish her for her behavior after not seeing her all day? Maybe it's another reason? Should I not smother her with hugs and kisses as soon as I walk through the door? Is it just a phase, or does she really not want anything to do with me right now? It hurt spending my few short hours each day after work before bedtime in a constant battle with her. I began to blame myself for whatever I could grasp as a reason for her behavior. I started feeling sorry for myself and sad that daddy's sweet girl wasn't so sweet with him.
It was the end of the week, and I was exhausted thinking about what I was going to have to deal with next as I turned the corner to pick her up from preschool after work. 45 minutes in traffic can allow your mind to wander. She greeted me at the door and was so excited I was there. It filled my heart, but it didn't last. As soon as I started buckling her into her car seat, the demon was back. She was mad we were leaving, mad that mommy wasn't going to be home from work yet, mad I told her the sunset was pretty, and mad we couldn't drive faster because of traffic. I stopped arguing with her to have a better attitude. When we got inside, she was crying on the floor while I set my things down. I picked her up, took a deep breath, and asked her what was wrong in a soft and concerned voice. I noticed as I get more frustrated, her spiral into this pit would get worse. She kept crying. She cuddled on my chest like she did as a baby and I began to think of those moments from the past when she would fall asleep so safe in the same spot, listening to my heart beat. She cried on my chest for a few minutes and I allowed myself to not say a word or try to fix what was bothering her until she fell asleep.
As we cuddled on the couch, I analyzed what just happened. She didn't need me to fix the situation. She didn't need me to unload questions to investigate what was bothering her. All she needed was for me to be there to hold her and comfort her regardless of the situation. She felt safe in this familiar place on my chest, just as she did as an infant. I learned this moment can apply to the rest of her life. When she's a teenager and some boy breaks her heart, I don't need to figure out how to fix the problem or tell her it's his loss. When she's crying because someone started a rumor about her at school, I don't need to tell her those girls aren't worth it and she'll find better friends. My job is to be there to let her cry on my shoulder, without me saying anything at all, without judgement. I need to allow her to feel hurt and remind myself I can't always fix it for her. Sometimes it's okay to take a break from trying to teach a lesson or correct behavior and focus on being what your kids need in that moment. And in this moment, Ellis just needed me to hold her. And in this last week, she just needed me to give her positive attention, rather than spending my short hours before bedtime correcting her behavior. Maybe if I did that more often, there wouldn't be as much behavior to correct.
Today's guest post is by Jeff Engelage from The Fatherly Collective. On his blog, Jeff shares some of the struggles he's gone through in hopes others will feel comforted and that they're not alone in this journey of being a dad. Make sure to follow him on Instagram @fatherlycollective.

Hydrogen explained in 60 seconds
At present, 95% of hydrogen is produced from fossil energies and is almost exclusively reserved for industrial uses in refining and chemicals.
In the future, if carbon-neutral production processes are used, hydrogen will play a major role in decarbonizing industry, transportation, and natural gas and in boosting the performance of renewable energies. That's why TotalEnergies and ENGIE have joined forces to develop the largest green hydrogen production site in France.
Situated in TotalEnergies' biorefinery in La Mède, the Masshylia project will be supplied with power from solar farms. Its electrolyzer will produce five tons of green hydrogen per day by 2024. The output will be used to supply the refinery with hydrogen for producing biofuel, thereby avoiding 15,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
Hydrogen, a Promising Energy Carrier
Two Production Process and Three Colors
1 - FROM FOSSIL ENERGIES
Gray Hydrogen
When exposed to very hot steam, natural gas reacts to produce hydrogen. This is the most widely used process, but it has the disadvantage of releasing CO2.
To decarbonize gray hydrogen, the released CO2 can be captured and stored. This is what is known as blue hydrogen.
2 - FROM RENEWABLE ENERGIES

Justia Dockets & Filings D.C. Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit Jefferson Morley v. CIA Filing 1207780164
Jefferson Morley v. CIA
OPINION [1594919] filed (Pages: 7) for the Court by Judge Williams. [14-5230]
USCA Case #14-5230 Document #1594919 Filed: 01/21/2016 United States Court of Appeals FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT Argued November 6, 2015 Decided January 21, 2016 No. 14-5230 JEFFERSON MORLEY, APPELLANT v. CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY, APPELLEE Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia (No. 1:03-cv-02545) James H. Lesar argued the cause and filed the briefs for appellant. Benton Peterson, Assistant U.S. Attorney, argued the cause for appellee. With him on the brief were Vincent H. Cohen, Jr., Acting U.S. Attorney, and R. Craig Lawrence, Assistant U.S. Attorney. Before: SRINIVASAN, Circuit Judge, and WILLIAMS and GINSBURG, Senior Circuit Judges. Opinion for the Court filed by Senior Circuit Judge WILLIAMS. Page 1 of 7 USCA Case #14-5230 Document #1594919 Filed: 01/21/2016 2 WILLIAMS, Senior Circuit Judge: Jefferson Morley appeals for the second time from the district court's denial of his request for attorney's fees and costs under the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"). Morley argues that he is entitled to a fee award under the familiar four-factor standard that looks to "(1) the public benefit derived from the case; (2) the commercial benefit to the plaintiff; (3) the nature of the plaintiff's interest in the records; and (4) the reasonableness of the agency's withholding of the requested documents." Davy v. CIA, 550 F.3d 1155, 1159 (D.C. Cir. 2008) (citations omitted). Because the district court improperly analyzed the public-benefit factor by assessing the public value of the information received rather than "the potential public value of the information sought," id. (citations omitted), we must vacate and remand again. * * * Morley is a journalist and news editor who has written about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. In 2003 he submitted a FOIA request to the Central Intelligence Agency for all records related to CIA officer George E. Joannides. Morley believed that information on Joannides could shed new light on President Kennedy's assassination because Joannides had served as the CIA case officer for Directorio Revolucionario Estudantil ("DRE"), one of the Cuba-focused organizations with which Lee Harvey Oswald was in contact in the months before the assassination. Receiving only a communication from the CIA that records on President Kennedy's assassination had been sent to the National Archives and Records Administration, Morley filed suit. The ensuing litigation spanned over a decade and led to the production of several hundred documents, a subset of which are in fact publicly available in the Archives. Morley contends that some of the documents turned over—a couple of travel records and a photograph and citation relating to a Page 2 of 7 USCA Case #14-5230 Document #1594919 Filed: 01/21/2016 3 career medal once received by Joannides—shed some light on President Kennedy's assassination, but the value of these documents is at best unclear. In 2010 Morley sought attorney's fees as a substantially prevailing party. See 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(E)(i). The district court denied the fee request. Morley v. CIA, 828 F. Supp. 2d 257, 265-66 (D.D.C. 2011). While acknowledging that "the Kennedy assassination is surely a matter of public interest," id. at 262 (citation omitted), the district court concluded that the public-benefit factor weighed strongly against a fee award because the actual documents produced by the CIA provided little if any public benefit, see id. at 262-64. After analyzing the remaining three factors, the district court concluded that Morley was not entitled to fees. Id. at 264-66. This court vacated and remanded because the district court had failed to consider the analysis of the public-benefit factor in Davy, a decision that also concerned a FOIA request for documents related to President Kennedy's assassination. Morley v. CIA, 719 F.3d 689, 690 (D.C. Cir. 2013). On remand, the district court again denied fees, explaining that Davy "d[id] not alter [its] original conclusion that 'this litigation has yielded little, if any, public benefit— certainly an insufficient amount to support an award of attorney's fees.'" Morley v. CIA, 59 F. Supp. 3d 151, 155 (D.D.C. 2014) (emphasis in original) (quoting Morley, 828 F. Supp. 2d at 262). While noting the Davy court's conclusion that the requested information served a public benefit because of its alleged nexus to the Kennedy assassination, the district court rejected the idea that Davy had "create[d] a category of records that automatically satisfy the [public-benefit] factor based on a plaintiff's claims of a relationship to [President Kennedy's] assassination." Id. (As developed below, we agree with the point that a plaintiff's "claims" of a Page 3 of 7 USCA Case #14-5230 Document #1594919 Filed: 01/21/2016 4 relationship to the assassination aren't enough to establish a public benefit.) Analyzing the particular documents that Morley received, the court concluded that "this litigation has benefited the public only slightly, if at all." Id. at 158. The released documents either were previously publicly available, id. at 156, or "shed very little, if any, light on Joannides's involvement in the events surrounding the Kennedy assassination," id. at 158. * * * The district court erred in concluding that the merits case had not yielded a public benefit. We agree that the released documents appear to reveal little, if anything, about President Kennedy's assassination. Morley contends that the released travel records indicate that Joannides may have been in New Orleans at the time that Warren Commission investigators were interviewing DRE members about their contacts with Oswald, and that the career medal reflects the CIA's approval of Joannides's conduct as its case officer for the DRE and as liaison between the CIA and the House Select Committee on Assassinations. The plausibility and value of these inferences are at best questionable, but are ultimately of little relevance as Davy required the court to assess "the potential public value of the information sought," Davy, 550 F.3d at 1159 (citations omitted), not the public value of the information received. The purpose of the fee provision is "to remove the incentive for administrative resistance to disclosure requests based not on the merits of exemption claims, but on the knowledge that many FOIA plaintiffs do not have the financial resources or economic incentives to pursue their requests through expensive litigation." Id. at 1158 (quoting Nationwide Bldg. Maint., Inc. v. Sampson, 559 F.2d 704, 711 (D.C. Cir. 1977)). "[S]hifting to the plaintiff the risk that the disclosures will be unilluminating" would defeat this purpose because "[f]ew people . . . would stake their financial Page 4 of 7 USCA Case #14-5230 Document #1594919 Filed: 01/21/2016 5 resources on litigation when they can know nothing about the documents or their contents prior to their release." Id. at 1162 n.3; see also id. at 1164-65 (Tatel, J., concurring). To be sure, Davy notes that assessing the public benefit also requires considering "the effect of the litigation," and while the court's analysis focuses on "[t]he information Davy requested," there is some discussion of the actual documents released. Id. at 1159 (majority opinion). But "the effect of the litigation" inquiry is properly understood as asking simply whether the litigation has caused the release of requested documents, without which the requester cannot be said to have substantially prevailed. See id. (suggesting that assessing "the value of the litigation" "presents a variation on" the question whether the plaintiff has "substantially prevail[ed]"). Lest there be any uncertainty, we clarify that the public-benefit factor requires an ex ante assessment of the potential public value of the information requested, with little or no regard to whether any documents supplied prove to advance the public interest. We can imagine a rare case where the research harvest seemed to vindicate an otherwise quite implausible request. But if it's plausible ex ante that a request has a decent chance of yielding a public benefit, the public-benefit analysis ends there. Of course a bare allegation that a request bears a nexus to a matter of public concern does not automatically mean that a public benefit is present. To have "potential public value," Davy, 550 F.3d at 1159, the request must have at least a modest probability of generating useful new information about a matter of public concern. The higher this probability and the more valuable the new information that could be generated, the more potential public value a request has. The nature of the subject that the request seeks to illuminate is obviously important. Where that subject is the Kennedy assassinationan event with few rivals in national trauma and Page 5 of 7 USCA Case #14-5230 Document #1594919 Filed: 01/21/2016 6 in the array of passionately held conflicting explanationsshowing potential public value is relatively easy. This of course does not mean that a requester's mere claim of a relationship to the assassination ipso facto satisfies the public interest criterion. Cf. Morley, 59 F. Supp. 3d at 155. Morley's request had potential public value. He has proffered—and the CIA has not disputed—that Joannides served as the CIA case officer for a Cuban group, the DRE, with whose officers Oswald was in contact prior to the assassination. Travel records showing a very close match between Joannides's and Oswald's times in New Orleans might, for example, have (marginally) supported one of the hypotheses swirling around the assassination. In addition, this court has previously determined that Morley's request sought information "central" to an intelligence committee's inquiry into the performance of the CIA and other federal agencies in investigating the assassination. Morley v. CIA, 508 F.3d 1108, 1118 (D.C. Cir. 2007). Under these circumstances, there was at least a modest probability that Morley's request would generate information relevant to the assassination or later investigations. The district court suggested that Morley is not entitled to fees incurred in connection with documents that were available to him (and the public generally) in the Archives. Morley, 59 F. Supp. 3d at 156. The district court's basic point was correct: whether documents are already in the public domain is significant because it undermines any claim that the requester's use of FOIA had provided public access to the documents. See Tax Analysts v. U.S. Dep't of Justice, 965 F.2d 1092, 1094-95 (D.C. Cir. 1992). But, unlike the requester in Tax Analysts, who sought publicly available tax decisions, Morley had no reason to believe that all records pertaining to Joannides would be available. Moreover, at oral Page 6 of 7 USCA Case #14-5230 Document #1594919 Filed: 01/21/2016 7 argument Morley's counsel claimed that extracting documents of this sort from the Archives is a laborious and unreliable process—and that some documents in the Archives cannot be electronically located because of missing record identification forms, which record information about each document for input into an electronic database. The Archives website does not clearly confirm or contradict this claim, but does indicate that "[n]ot all the material found in the Collection is indexed in the database." JFK Assassination Records Collection Reference System, https://www.archives.gov/research/jfk/ search.html#reference (last visited Jan. 4, 2016). Before denying any fees on the ground that some of the documents were available in the Archives, the district court should consider (1) whether fees incurred in connection with such documents are segregable and, if so, (2) whether the difficulties recited above nonetheless militate against denial of fees for such documents. Following the prior remand on the fees issue, the district court declined to reevaluate any factors other than public benefit, or to rebalance the factors, despite this court's suggestion in Davy that the first three factors are all addressed to the distinction "between requesters who seek documents for public informational purposes and those who seek documents for private advantage." Davy, 550 F.3d at 1160. On remand, the district court should consider the remaining factors and the overall balance afresh. * * * The judgment of the district court is vacated and the case is Remanded. Page 7 of 7


Boxing Day is the one day of the year that shoppers from all walks of life unite. Addicts cross paths with window shoppers, with splurgers, with bargain hunters, and with the curious. For addicts, like ourselves, it seems that Boxing Day is a mission that is over too soon with little left in the bank account to survive for the next week. But sacrificing water, electricity and food for a little shopping is always worth it!
So without further ado, here is Ennvy's Boxing Day Round Up for 2012. Enjoy!


The Clay Avenue Historic District encompasses one block from East 165th and East 166th Streets, and is made up of charming, low-rise and mostly intact buildings that date from the early 20th century. In 1900, seeing a chance to earn a profit through speculative development, Ernest Wenigmann began amassing property on Clay Avenue in The Bronx, in some instances directly purchasing it from descendants of the Morris family that held title to the land since 1670. Intending to construct 28 houses on the block, Wenigmann commissioned Warren C. Dickerson, a reputable architect who designed many high quality rowhouses in The Bronx at the turn-of-the-century. Dickerson employed a transitional style, combining Renaissance-inspired massing and detailing with popular Romanesque Revival motifs, such as rock-faced stonework. Although all of the houses are faced with beige or red brick, Dickerson counterbalanced variations in ornamentation with the repetition of building forms to create a dynamic streetscape. Other details emerge upon further inspection: for instance, all of the houses on the west side of the street have single wooden doors, while the east side homes feature wood and glass double doors.
Dickerson, who was also responsible for a majority of the buildings in the Longwood and Morris High School Historic Districts, designed each detached pair to house four families, though each resembles a pair of single-family homes. At the turn of the 20th century, these two-family houses had become popular in Brooklyn and The Bronx, and were viewed as "the best possible investment for the young married man." The aspirational middle-class homeowner could fit their family into one apartment while renting out the adjacent unit for additional income, all while maintaining the appearance of occupying an entire single-family home. On Clay Avenue, Ernest Wenigmann began selling his houses in 1902, and three years later the street was almost entirely occupied. The 1905 New York State census indicates that Clay Avenue was a predominantly middle-class street of owners and renters, with all residents identifying as white and most listed as American-born.

Fast Growing Privacy Shrubs
Evergreen hedges provide year-long privacy.
1 Fast-Growing Evergreen Bushes for Landscaping
2 Grow an Althea Plant
3 Waxleaf Privet Spacing
4 Care for the Plant Called Minuet Weigela
Fast growing evergreen shrubs can provide a dense privacy screen all year long. Privacy hedges also serve as windbreaks, reduce street noise and block unwanted views. While evergreen shrubs provide privacy throughout the year, some fast growing deciduous shrubs make good privacy screens for part of the year. Deciduous shrubs often bear attractive flowers and may become a focal point in the landscape.
Privet
Japanese privet (Ligustrum japonicum) is an ideal shrub for a privacy hedge. It is a fast grower, reaching 8 to 10 feet tall and 5 to 7 feet wide in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 7 through 11. Japanese privet has lustrous, green leaves and small fragrant white flowers in spring. Variegated wax leaf privet (Ligustrun japonicum "Variegatum") offers large green leaves edged in creamy-yellow and lilac flowers. Some privet varieties, such as Ligustrum lucidum or Ligustrum sinense, tend to become invasive because of underground runners and high seed production. Plant privet shrubs in sun or part shade about 2 to 4 feet apart. Shear for a more formal shape.
Western red cedar (Thuja plicata) is a fast-growing evergreen shrub or tree that can reach 80 feet. More compact varieties such as "Zebrina" may grow to 20 feet. Other varieties come with striking golden foliage. Western red cedar has soft scale-like leaves. It grows in USDA plant hardiness zones 5 through 10 and prefers a sunny location. Planting these shrubs close together to form a hedge may reduce overall height because of root competition. Western red cedar requires little care, but avoid planting it where it is exposed to road salt or salt spray.
Leyland Cypress
Leyland cypress (Cupressocyparis leylandii) grows up to 3 feet per year into a tall evergreen hedge in USDA plant hardiness zones 5 through 9. Starting from a seedling, Leyland cypress reaches 20 to 30 feet in 10 years. It has a columnar to pyramidal shape and feathery, soft green foliage. Some Leyland cypress varieties have golden foliage. Leyland cypress is not fussy about soil type and is drought and salt tolerant.
Pink honeysuckle (Lonicera tatarica) is a deciduous shrub suited to USDA plant hardiness zones 4 through 9. It blooms in spring with fragrant pink flowers and displays red berries in fall and winter. Pink honeysuckle grows quickly into a dense hedge, 8 to 10 feet tall. Plant the shrubs 3 feet apart, preferably in full sun. Prune pink honeysuckle twice a year to prevent it from becoming invasive.
Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus), sometimes called "althea," is a deciduous, flowering shrub that is hardy and easy to grow. It blooms with white, pink, blue or purple 2- to 4-inch flowers in mid-summer. Combining shrubs with different flower colors makes an attractive hedge. Rose of Sharon grows in USDA plant hardiness zones 5 through 9 in a vase shape, 6 to 12 feet high and 6 to 10 feet wide. Plant shrubs 5 feet apart for a dense summer privacy hedge. Rose of Sharon is salt and drought tolerant. It grows best in locations with good drainage and full sun, but tolerates part shade.

Prenatal alcohol exposure increases likelihood of addiction in adulthood
By Christine Shepherd July 11, 2017
Photo: iStockphoto
Neuroscientists at the University at Buffalo Research Institute on Addictions have just discovered a link between prenatal alcohol exposure and an increased risk for addictions in adulthood. According to their research, fetuses exposed to alcohol in the womb experience permanent changes to the reward system in their brain, which make them more sensitive to the effects of drugs later in life.
Endocannabinoids—cannabis-like chemicals that are produced in the brain itself—are at the center of the research, because of their role in increasing the brain's susceptibility to addiction. Maternal drinking during pregnancy is believed to affect the unborn baby's endocannabinoids by weakening dopamine neurons—involved in addictive behaviours—which can cause issues that surface later in childhood and continue throughout the affected child's adult life.
Understanding this impact may allow neuroscientists to develop drug therapies and other methods to counter the negative consequences associated with prenatal alcohol exposure. Currently there is no cure for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), a condition caused by drinking alcohol during pregnancy, which can trigger mental health issues (including depression and anxiety) as well as impulse-control issues.
According to The Canada Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Research Network (CanFASD), "The safest choice for a woman who is pregnant or planning to become pregnant is not to drink alcohol."

Q: Is the sequence , 0,1/2,0,1/3,2/3,0,1/4,2/4,3/4,0..... equidistributed? Is the sequence ,
$$0,1/2,0,1/3,2/3,0,1/4,2/4,3/4,0..... $$
 equidistributed ?
A sequence $\{\xi_n\}$  is equidistributed in $[0,1),$ that is if
$$\lim_{N\rightarrow\infty}\frac{Card\{1\leq n\leq N|\xi_n\in(a,b)\}}{N}=b-a$$
Well ,the sequence write in a formula is :
$$\xi_n=0,\;\; whenever\; n=k(k-1)/2+1$$
$$\xi_n=\frac{k}{m},\;\;whenever\;n=\frac{(m-1)(m–2)}{2}+k$$
$\forall N,(a,b)$,firt of all 0 is in the $(a,b)$, so
$$Card\{k|\frac{k(k-1)}{2}+1\leq N\}=O(\sqrt{N})$$
Next we let
$$\frac{(m-1)(m–2)}{2}+k\leq N$$
and
$$am\leq k\leq bm$$
Just like a nonlinear  arrangement problem, suppose the $m$ is the $x$-axis, the $k$ is the $y$-axis, the question now , is to estimate the integer  points of this area .
I don't know how to do next

Soyala: Daughter of the Desert
by Cindy Burkart Maynard View author's profile page
In the waning days of the thirteenth century in what we now call the American Southwest, one woman and her family, facing societal turmoil and personal tragedy, abandoned the home they knew for an unknown future. Based on the archaeological record, it incorporates what is known about the people and pueblos of thirteenth century New Mexico. The drama plays out in the land of sage, sun, and sandstone.
Based on the archaeological and anthropological record, this story is a vivid and convincing drama depicting the lives of a small clan of ancient puebloans of northern New Mexico. It is set in the thirteenth century, long before Europeans reached the Southwest. The narrative is fresh, alive and fast-paced. The prose is highly polished and readable. Its strong, finely-drawn characters come to life showing us how they faced the challenges of climate, landscape, and survival. The themes of birth, death, love, hope, courage, fear, suffering and endurance ring true. It's as though the hundreds of years separating their experience from ours disappear. Based on the archaeological record and inspired by what it known about an actual pueblo, it feels incredibly authentic. This multi-generational story explores native American pre-history and the ancient puebloans as they set off on a great migration toward better lives.
Cindy's passion is to make the past come alive with award winning historical fiction novels. Answering the question: "What it would have been like to live in that place and time?" is what motivates her writing. Her love of history and the natural world shine through in all her work. . Cindy is author of two prize-winning historical novels, co-author of two non-fiction books about the Southwest, and articles for Colorado Life, Utah Life, and Images magazines.
