Hip arthroscopy is a technique used by orthopedic surgeons to diagnose and treat a range of problems in the hip joint. During the minimally invasive procedure, your surgeon will make a very small incision and insert a tiny camera — called an arthroscope — into your hip. Hip arthroscopy can also repair injured ligaments within your joint. The camera displays pictures on a video monitor, and your surgeon uses these detailed images to locate and repair the problem on the spot using miniature surgical instruments.
Because these incisions are typically small compared with larger incisions needed in traditional hip surgeries, hip arthroscopy typically results in less pain and joint stiffness for patients, and often shortens the time it takes to recover and return normal activity. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12086 | {

Researchers discovered the shipwreck of a U.S. Coast Guard ship USCGC McCulloch, that first set out to sea during the Spanish-American War and sank Northwest of Point Conception, Southern California 100 years ago.
The ship was discovered last fall during a routine survey after researchers noticed a flurry of fish as sunken ships offer a great place for fish to hide. The wreckage rests on the seabed with a 38-centimetre torpedo tube molded into the bow stem, a 6-pound gun mounted in a platform at the starboard bow, and the top of a propeller blade draped with white anemones nearly 91,5 metres below the surface. The ship was reported to have sunk on June 13, 1917, after colliding with a civilian steamship.
The vessel is reported to have began its career as part of Commodore George Dewey’s Asiatic Squadron in the Battle of Manila Bay during the Spanish-American War in 1898. After the war, the cutter patrolled the West Coast and later was dispatched to enforce fur seal regulations in the Pribilof Islands off the coast of Alaska, where it also served as a floating courtroom in remote areas. At present strong currents and an abundance of sediment prevent moving the delicate vessel. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12088 | {

The adoption of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) in New York, on July 7, 2017, shifted the paradigm in nuclear disarmament after more than twenty years of stagnation in the field. After biological and chemical weapons bans in 1972 and 1993, respectively, the remaining weapons of mass destruction will be banned once the TPNW enters into force. Even though there is considerable disagreement on the practical impact of a treaty for nuclear disarmament and international security, the award of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017 to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), the coalition that was instrumental in the negotiations and adoption of the treaty, demonstrates the treaty’s significance and immediate impact. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12096 | {

Recognition of graphics is made at two levels: syntactic and semantic. Machines are already functioning at the syntactic level quite satisfactorily, but at the semantic level they still lack the intelligence and cognition humans apply while interpreting graphic symbols. Understanding and communicating the structure and behavior of complex systems through a graphic representation is effective only if it constitutes a visual formalism that assigns a definite semantics to each symbol. Object-Process Methodology (OPM) is a graphics-based visual formalism that has been applied to analyze and design systems in a variety of domains. Through a set of Object-Process Diagrams (OPDs) we specify a generic graphics recognition subsystem that is integrated into a Document Analysis System. Beside the direct value of the OPD representation, this model serves as an instance of the way OPM can be used as a concise graphic representation that unifies the structure and behavior of complex systems in general and graphics recognition systems in particular. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12097 | {

Occupational therapy under the NDIS can help people who struggle with daily activities due to a disability. OT teaches people how to adapt to day-to-day life using tools and techniques taught by a trained health professional.
Tasks you may require help with include eating and dressing independently, cleaning up around the house and participating in work or leisure activities.
They help a wide range of people – from babies to seniors – perform daily tasks with more ease or less pain.
When receiving occupational therapy under the NDIS, the first appointment will involve an assessment of the individual’s needs and goals. This may involve visiting the home, school or workplace to observe what tasks need to be done and if any changes need to be made. They will then create a personalised plan and create goals in order to work towards better outcomes.
People with a disability may be able to access OT as part of the scheme. It is not available for people over the age of 65 unless you turn 65 after you have been approved entry into the scheme. Eligibility varies depending on the state you live in, and considers factors such as age and location. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12101 | {

This is the main page of Macroption coverage of the VIX (CBOE Volatility Index). Below you can find links to various pages providing information and resources for various things regarding the VIX, its futures, options, and ETNs.
What Is VIX? – this page answers this and several other frequently asked questions about the VIX. If you are totally unfamiliar with the VIX and volatility indices in general, start here.
VIX Calculation – this page is a bit more advanced – it explains the calculation of the VIX index step-by-step. It focuses on the logic of the calculation rather than the exact mathematics (for those who also want the formulas, there is a link to the original CBOE VIX White Paper).
VIX Chart – this page contains a few charts of the VIX index, in case you need a basic idea of its range and behaviour. I don’t update it very frequently, but there are also links to websites where you can see the latest chart.
You may have already heard that the VIX index is quite specific as a trading vehicle. In fact, the index itself is not directly tradable (see explanation why), but you can trade it indirectly using futures, options, and exchange traded products (see details below).
Trading the VIX – this page summarizes the reasons why you may want to trade the VIX and the many specifics of doing so.
VIX Futures – the main page and basic information about VIX futures, which includes contract specifications such as multiplier, tick size, contract months available, expiration and settlement, and trading hours, as well as various links to other pages and resources concerning VIX futures.
VIX Futures Curve – this page explains what the VIX futures curve is, how it looks, what contango and backwardation mean, and how they occur on the VIX.
VIX Term Structure – this page explains the VIX Term Structure, which is not the same as VIX futures curve as many people believe.
VIX Options – the main page and basic information about VIX options, which includes contract specifications, available strikes, exercising them, expiration and settlement, and other resources.
VIX Historical Data – this page provides links to CBOE pages where you can download the VIX index and VIX futures daily historical data for free.

Boolean operators or connectors are tools that allow you to narrow or broaden your search.
Using AND between your search terms will narrow your search. For example, searching elections AND contributors will find resources with both terms, giving you more specific results. You can keep adding terms with AND to conduct more narrow searches: elections AND contributors AND special interests AND federal law.
Using OR between your search terms will broaden your search. The OR operator is useful when a term has a frequently used synonym. Examples: Political Action Committee OR PAC; college OR university, corn OR maize. Conducting a search using the OR operator will find resources with either term, giving more results.
Using NOT between your search terms will narrow your search. NOT allows you to exclude a word or phrase from your search. For example, elections NOT presidential will find resources on elections (local, Senate, etc.) but exclude information about Presidential elections.
Using a truncation symbol allows you to search for alternative word endings.
For example, politic* searches politic, politics, and political at the same time.
The truncation symbol is often the asterisk. However, some databases use other symbols. Use the help option in the database or ask a librarian to check on which symbol to use.
You may want to combine the search strategies discussed above. When using a combination of Boolean operators use parentheses to delineate the search.
A librarian and a researcher explore the use of Boolean operators.
See a graphic representation of Boolean operators at The Boolean Machine.
Consult the graphic video Searching Effectively Using AND, OR, NOT from Colorado State University Libraries.
Using a wildcard symbol allows you to search for alternative spellings within a word.
Wildcards can replace one character. For example, wom?n searches women and woman.
A different symbol may be used to replace more than one letter or to accommodate spellings where a character may or may not be present. For example, colo#r searches color or colour.
ESCOhost databases use the wildcard symbols above. Other databases may use different symbols. Use the help option in the database or ask a librarian to check on which symbol to use. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12115 | {

Each Life is Precious: Let us travel together toward heaven on earth!
If the United States is to be successful domestically, we must think globally and at the same time have a deep realization that we are in The Innovation Age. It is up to us – humankind – with God’s enduring, steadfast love, to reach for the ultimate destiny – Heaven on Earth.
To illustrate how global action is needed domestically, think about education. With globalization we are competing with South Koreans with superb education systems – and so many other such nations.
The present and the future will be most propitious for knowledgeable people and people people; and, if a person has both of these qualities, his or her ambitions will be most assured. Of course, the embodiment of Copthorne Macdonald’s positive values while shunning the negative values will allow meaning, purpose and fulfillment in a person’s life.
Each life is precious, a gift from God. We must be all for all in order to fully express our appreciation for our gift.
Let’s discover ourselves and others in an honest, sensitive, loving way – recognizing that superficial differences hide our common nature.
Each person is a treasure, meant to flourish in multiple ways. Our time is not meant to be concerned with selfishness, envy, greed, hate and revenge.
We must see the truth in love. In the Presbyterian Church I learned in Sunday school that, “Man’s [and woman’s] chief aim is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.” The Bible also says, “God is Love.” So, love is basic to each of us and all of us.
Wonder and awe are found as we examine the mysteries of ourselves, others and everything else. Harvey Cox in “The Future of Faith” wrote about these three mysteries of our being.
Why should we do the right thing? My basic underlying belief is that’s the way for humankind to traverse that wonderful journey through The Innovation Age to The Spiritual Age – heaven on earth.
How do we do the right thing? Seeking the wisdom-associated values – empathy, truth, honesty, justice, cooperation, peace, compassion, universal well-being, creativity and general knowledge – while shunning the negative values – selfishness, greed, envy, hate and revenge. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12118 | {

A team of scientists have discovered what they believe to be two large Earth-like planets orbiting a star just 12-light-years away.
The team, led by researchers at the University of Hertfordshire, discovered the 'Super Earths' orbiting the Tau Ceti solar system right within the habitable corridor known as the 'goldilocks zone'.
Calling the discovery a "milestone", Dr Fabo Feng, research fellow at the University of Hertfordshire and lead researcher on the study, said: "We're getting tantalisingly close to observing the correct limits required for detecting Earth-like planets."
The scientists were able to analyse the planets around star system by measuring the 'wobble' of the star itself as the planets orbit around it.
Sun-like stars like our own are, for obvious reasons, considered our best hope of finding habitable life throughout the rest of the galaxy.
The hope is that if the two outer planets are found to be rocky and habitable then they could become the first real contenders for colonisation outside of our own solar system.
Tau Ceti is one of our closest neighbours residing just 12 light years away, making it a tempting target for astronomers and scientists.
Of course with every piece of good news comes a word of caution. Little is know about the conditions within Tau Ceti and while both planets have potential there is still every chance that they're inhospitable for external reasons such as constant bombardment from asteroids.
The discovery of these two 'Super Earths' is the result of years of work starting in 2013 when the team first set their gaze upon Tau Ceti.
"We realized that we could see how the star's activity differed at different wavelengths and use that information to separate this activity from signals of planets," said Dr Tuomi, lead researcher back in 2013.
"Since then we've painstakingly improved the sensitivity of our techniques and could rule out two of the signals our team identified in 2013 as planets. But no matter how we look at the star, there seems to be at least four rocky planets orbiting it." | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12119 | {

This stream will characterize circular-economic business models for future value chains in the metals and minerals sector, including manufacturing, reuse and recycling. The aim is to characterise the emergent metals re-use/recycling industry options for Australia. This stream provides a logical complement to the work in the other two streams; determining the socio-technological options for metals recycling; and the value of such recycling across a select range of materials.
The complex interdependencies that exist in current value chains will require a systems-based industrial ecology approach in order to achieve sustainable resource management. Previous studies of emerging industries have focused analysis on two main areas of industrial emergence (i) technological solutions and (ii) successful innovators who develop successful business models of value creation and capture. This provides a one- dimensional view of industrial emergence, lacking contextual detail on the linkages between socio-political and economic context, and successful value capture. It also under-represents the role that public policy and public actors can play in the process of industrial emergence.
Whilst there is an established literature on green supply chains; to date, research has not focused on how responsible metals management (from primary or recycled sources) promotes, or constrains, innovation. We consider innovation within and between firms as open innovation becomes more established. Specifically, this project will connect conceptual and practical understandings of material and product stewardship with innovation processes. By connecting the fields of innovation and stewardship, the Cluster will use theoretical analyses and surveys for empirical data, together with interviews of exemplar firms, to build new insights at the intersection of a promising field of research.
Review and extension of business models typologies for value creation and capture in recycled materials.
The development of future recycling and manufacturing models for Australia, including identification of market potential, early and potential adopters of closed loop recycling and services, additive manufacturing, leasing of metals; and ethical supply chain manufacturing in Australia.
Labour market and skills analysis examining the impacts of various scenarios to enhance resource effectiveness across value chains. This includes future occupational profiles of the recycling industry and skills transferability across from the primary mining sector to the secondary (recycling) sector.
Analysis of the public policy measures that can encourage or constrain increased metals recycling, and detail barriers and market failures in green supply chains. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12120 | {

Parts of balance exercises work with movements. Motions are always a combination of spiritual, mental, emotional and physical expressions of energy. It is not possible to have a physical tension without having a corresponding mental and emotional stress.
Imbalanced physical tensions create misalignment that allow your energy to leak into joints instead of transferring them. Whatever energy leaks into joints damages your joints and diminishes the energy available to reach your goal.
The energy that leaks through the mental and emotional imbalances is far greater than the energy that leaks through the joints.
Part of exercise selection in balance training focuses on breathing patterns. Breathing patterns is a relatively straightforward way to bring balance to mental, emotional and physical aspects of a motion.
I share these examples for you to see that balance training is not about standing on one leg or a high-wire act.
Balance training is a process of internalizing your base of support that requires increasing your self-awareness and narrowing your base of support that is part of self-reliance. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12122 | {

In this tutorial, we learn how to set a spring loaded snare trap. First, find a sapling with a larger tree next to it, then bend the sapling down and wire on a stick to this. This stick will have a small nub on it that will hook onto a stick that you will prop up on the back of the tree. When the rabbit comes along, it will follow the trail and walk through the wire. The feet will go into the wire and it will tighten up, releasing the spring to ensure the rabbit stays trapped. This is a simple way to catch rabbits, make sure to check your hunting regulations in your state before using this. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12123 | {

The Awatere is the Marlborough river valley south-east of Blenheim, which runs from high-country Molesworth Station down to the sea below the township of Seddon. Author Harry Broad’s interest in this area was piqued when he was working on his best-selling book Molesworth, and the result is this book.
Awatere is a colourful collection of stories that explore both the people and the landscape of this area, and at the same time illustrates the multi-facetted, changing face of rural New Zealand.
The upper Awatere valley has many well-known, classic high-country stations, such as the Muller, while the lower valley still has some important pastoral farms. A huge change, though, has come through the wine industry – the Awatere is now the second-largest wine sub-region in New Zealand.
This mix of farming and vineyards, with the community of Seddon at its heart, has given this area a unique character, captured both in Harry Broad’s stories and through stunning images from photographers Jim Tannock, Rob Suisted and Dave Hansford.
This is a beautiful and engaging book, a must-read for anyone interested in rural New Zealand. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12125 | {

Visual Defects of Concrete: one of the simplest ways to understand what exactly causes concrete to fail would be performing a Visual Survey of the deteriorated concrete structure. When a client hires an Engineer to inspect a concrete structure, it is most likely because the owner visually noted some form of deterioration. This, technically, may be considered a preliminary visual test.
There are many different tests that are done to analyze a deteriorated structure. Usually, the first test an Engineer (or Inspector) will conduct is a Visual Condition Survey so as to get a sense of where, if any, additional testing should take place. This survey usually consists of the Engineer walking the site looking for any signs of deterioration that can be noticed visually and then noting them. The Engineer makes notes of both serious and non-serious defects to the concrete structure.
In some cases, in view of the findings from the Engineer, the amount of work required to repair the structure may be determined. The more serious modes of deterioration that are found visually usually lead to further expensive investigation and repair.
When the visual test is conducted by the engineer during the Condition Survey it is for the purpose of analyzing the visually noticeable deterioration in the concrete structure. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12126 | {

Biological control is used much less often in Southern Europe and Japan, areas with extensive greenhouse vegetable production, because of differences in climate and greenhouse construction. Development of methods effective in warm climates, however, is under way. Similarly, use of biological control is very limited in greenhouses producing bedding plants or floral crops, the major focus of greenhouse production in the United States. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12131 | {

I have tried and tried again to make cookies without sugar. They are terrible. I'm convinced there is a recipe out there for me, but I haven't discovered it yet. My biggest success yet was the Magic Muffins recipe I shared with you last.
The point, however, is key: one of the first things a nutritionist should tell you if you've been diagnosed with cancer, is that you should be eliminating sugar from your diet.
To get into the science behind it, sugar is as "bad" as high fructose corn syrup. HFCS is about 45% glucose and 55% fructose. White refined sugar is 50% glucose and 50% fructose. Cancer cells thrive on glucose. In addition, sugar and HFCS have a high glycemic index and therefore cause the secretion of insulin and insulin growth factor, both which are hormones promoting the growth of cancer. Gary Taubes explains in the April 17, 2011 issue of the New York Times Magazine, "Is Sugar Toxic?" "Many pre-cancerous cells would never acquire the mutations that turn them into malignant tumors if they weren't being driven by insulin to take more and more blood sugar and metabolize it."

How do I get the most Flavor From My Indian Cooking Recipes?
To bring out the best flavor from your tasty recipes, here are some Indian cooking recipe tips and techniques.
With many sauces, to achieve the best, well blended flavor, it is best to heat the oil (such as ghee or gingely oil) without overheating, and add the spices such as mustard seed cloves. Allow these to cook for a few minutes. In the case of mustard seeds, they should just burst before adding onions.
Spices are best with bought whole and roasted at home. Have you ever had a cup of coffee where there was a roaster in the building and it was roasted that morning. The flavor is marvelous. The same is true with spices. It takes a little longer to roast the whole spices and it takes some forethought, but for that special meal the difference is worth it.
If you have added too much to your sauce (or masala), then take a raw potato and cut it into large dice and put it into your sauce for about 15-20 minutes. Remove the potato before serving.
coconut is commonly used in cooking South Indian recipes. To extract coconut milk, pour warm water over the grated coconut and squeeze the juice out. If you only have shredded, dried (or dessicated) coconut and want to make a nice, rich milk, then take about 1/2 cup dried coconut and boil it in 2 cups of milk. Let it sit for an hour or 2 and squeeze through a sieve.
When you cook with yoghurt you have to be very careful to keep it from curdling. The main causes of curdling are acid, salt and heat. Many Indian recipes that use yoghurt have acidic ingredients like onions, tomato or lemon. I suggest that you add the yoghurt or milk products near the end of the cooking and once you have added it do not let the temperature get above 180 degrees F. Also, to lessen the chance or curdling, make sure the yoghurt or cream is fresh.
When you are boiling milk, if it begins to boil over, quickly sprinkle a little cold water over it and it will subside.
Using a pressure cooker can cut down a lot of time cooking Indian recipes. Cooking time is calculated from when it lets out a loud hiss. For example, if the recipe calls for 10 minutes, then shut off the pressure cooker 10 minutes after the hiss. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12136 | {

of assets. An especially prolonged or severe recession may be called a depression, while a long period of slow but not necessarily negative growth is sometimes called economic stagnation. Many problems resulted in this area of discussion, in regard to the intricate linkages between globalization, government, trade and transport, and environmental decay. Economic Globalization, which is the production, exchange, distribution, and consumption of goods and tangible services, and Cultural Globalization, the exchange of materials and symbols that represent facts, meaning values and beliefs. People across one country today eat from the same restaurants, wear the same clothes, speak the same language and drive the same car as people from the opposite side of the globe. A b c Harmon D, Lagi M, de Aguiar MAM, Chinellato DD, Braha D, Epstein IR, Bar-Yam. 19 Likewise, Bear Stearns failed in 200708 because it was unable to renew the short-term debt it used to finance long-term investments in mortgage securities. However, it is difficult to predict whether an asset's price actually equals its fundamental value, so it is hard to detect bubbles reliably.

If you like classic brews, here's one for you: a beer made from a 9,000-year-old recipe.
Dogfish Head brewery has released Chateau Jiahu , a beverage based on the ingredients that were discovered in pottery jars from a village in Jiahu, in Henan province of northern China.
Researchers say that a mixed fermented beverage of rice, honey and fruit was being produced thousands of years ago. This was during the same period that people in the Middle East were beginning to make barley beer and grape wine, according to the Delaware-based brewery.
"Probably, all beer thousands of years ago – to our modern palates – would have tasted spoiled," Dogfish Head owner Sam Calagione told NPR in an interview. "In fact, in a lot of hieroglyphics, people are shown drinking beer using straws because they were trying to avoid the chunks of solids and wild yeast."
Patrick McGovern, a biomolecular archaeologist at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology, studies fermented beverages by analyzing the ancient pots that once held them. He worked with Dogfish Head to create the brew.
For Chateau Jiahu, McGovern figured out that the vessels from China once contained an alcoholic beverage made of rice, grapes, hawthorn berries, honey and chrysanthemum flowers.
Dogfish Head brewers used pre-gelatinized rice flakes, wildflower honey, muscat grapes, barley malt, hawthorn fruit, and Chrysanthemum flowers in Chateau Jiahu , the company says.
Dogfish Head and McGovern also produced Midas Touch brew that's based on findings in pottery found in King Midas' 2,700-year-old tomb.
The brewer plans to brew about 3,000 cases of Jiahu. Each wine-size bottle sells for $13. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12140 | {

ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a complex medical disorder involving either hyperactivity / impulsivity, inattention / lack of focus, or a combination of both. This can lead to problems with behavior at home, difficulty in schools, and social problems. Visit the American Academy of Pediatrics website for additional information regarding ADHD. You can also read our introduction to ADHD.
Below is information on ADHD and the evaluation process at South East Bay Pediatrics. The diagnosis of ADHD takes time, and the evaluation process usually takes at least 2-3 visits before the diagnosis can be made. Occasionally the process can take longer if referrals to psychologists or psychiatrists are warranted. Blood tests may or may not be indicated, and this will be discussed during your visit.
We also ask that you sign the release of information form in the packet that will enable us to share information with teachers, counselors, psychologists, or psychiatrists who may be involved. Our goal is to gather as much information as possible in order to make the appropriate diagnosis and treat your child appropriately that he/she may become a more successful student in school and a happier individual at home.
Below are further hand outs provided by the American Academy of Pediatrics and some written by us to help optimize care for you child.
What can I do when my child has problem falling asleep?
How to establish a school-home daily report card.
After the diagnosis of ADHD has been made, your physician may want to monitor your child progress on or off medication. The below “Follow Up Questionnaires” should be filled by all teachers and parents every 3-6 month to assess the progress of your child. Please either mail all follow up questionnaires to our office or bring them with you in the next “med check” appointment. Again, we would like each parent individually complete one ‘Parent Follow up Questionnaire” and mail it to our office. We would also like the “Teacher Follow up Questionnaire” be filled by each instructor and be mailed to our office.
Finally, some insurance companies will not pay for ADHD evaluation or follow up. Please contact your insurance company before your visit to determine if this is the case. If your insurance company does not cover ADHD evaluations or follow up, please contact us immediately so we can make appropriate arrangements. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12144 | {

Social inclusion cannot be achieved without digital financial inclusion, argues Tunisian Post CEO Moez Chakchouk.
Tunisian Post has emerged one of the first public institutions in Africa to experiment with blockchain technology to help build a more scalable and secure digital payments platform.
At the quadrennial World Telecommunication Standardisation Assembly (WTSA) held in Tunisia this week Tunisian Post CEO Moez Chakchouk said, "Blockchain technology will be the main technology to be developed in the future because actually the technology is very very smart."
Chakchouk added "We can do a lot of things with it and there is a lot of communities that are already doing a lot with fintech companies to develop this technology and to be adopted by financial institutions and so on."
On the key factors that will aid the adoption and use of mobile money, the Tunisian Post exec said there is a need to communicate better and explain to customers why they need to use mobile money to operate a virtual account.
He hinted that Tunisian Post is currently finalising a new app called DigiCash to be used for money transfer and to pay bills.
In response to a question on the motivations for using blockchain technology for the service, he said it will enable customers to trust the application, use it for more transactions and make it easier for the user to transfer money.
Earlier in the conference, Chakchouk had said that social inclusion cannot be achieved without digital financial inclusion.
During a panel discussion on digital financial services, Safaricom's Ronald Webb told the audience how the telco built its digital payment products and how light-touch, flexible regulation is critical to its success. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12155 | {

There are few things in life that are worth fighting for but your health, most definitely, falls into the category of worth fighting for. Without good health, the quality of life lessens and more time is spent in and out of doctor’s offices rather than out enjoying the life we have been granted. There are conditions such as diabetes and neuropathy that make it difficult to live comfortably; however, it is possible.
Neuropathy is a condition that affects the peripheral nervous system and causes a breakdown in communication between the brain, spinal cord and sensory nerves. When this breakdown in communication occurs, it becomes painfully challenging to maintain mobility and normal functionality.
If you are fortunate enough to discover the underlying cause of your nerve pain and neuropathy symptoms, then finding a nerve pain treatment would be much simpler and less complex.
Fighting off nerve pain is possible with nerve pain treatment.
Nerve pain treatment is the only method by which nerve pain relief can and will be had. There are several nerve pain treatment options and each one should be analyzed, researched and discussed with a medical professional. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12166 | {

Alopecia is usually accompanied with some emotional distress as sufferers lose their hair. It can be particularly traumatic for as children as one your girl, Riley found out when she lost her hair to the disease. Riley’s mother, Chelsea Sylvaria recorded and uploaded a video on Facebook and captioned with a heart-touching conversation that she had had with her daughter the night before. In her caption, Sylvaria outlined how she asked her daughter whether she loved herself, to which her daughter replied no as she didn’t have any hair.
The video then begins as Riley and her father are sitting together and he is attempting to console her and teach her daughter it doesn’t matter whether you have hair or not. Then without hesitation, he even offers to shave his own head. The video concludes with Riley helping her father remove his hair and giggling and shrieking with happiness. The video has had over seven hundred thousand views so far and has inspired many to share their own experiences, photos and messages of support for alopecia sufferers. People have felt this video was a beacon of hope and positivity, an excellent way to end 2017. For Riley the video and the messages of support from thousands of strangers must have meant she has learnt a valuable lesson, that hair alone is not a mark of true beauty.
Alopecia areata is the sudden appearance of circular shaped patches of hair loss; this condition usually occurs on the scalp but can affect different areas of the body. Hair loss patches are smooth and may appear overnight or within just a few days. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition and it is not known how the condition is triggered, although some research suggests that genetics may play a role in predisposing some children to the disease. Prognosis for alopecia is actually dependent on the cause of the hair loss. Some forms of alopecia respond better to treatment; however this is not true for every case. For more information about alopecia areata in childhood, speak to a hair loss expert. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12170 | {

Unafraid Red is the first of four exhibitions showing the work of QSS studio artists, curated by artist Colin Darke. It will be followed by Unafraid Yellow, Unafraid Blue and White. Recognising that the task of dividing twenty-three artists and twenty-three very different stylistic practices into four thematic categories would result in spurious relationships, Darke settled on assemblages based around colour. This allows for a level of visual cohesion, while retaining the conceptual and aesthetic diversity that defines Queen Street Studios.
The significance of colours is historically driven, its ostensibly subliminal messaging containing ideological, societal factors.
Red, signifying both sexual arousal (helped along with lipstick and blusher) and potential danger (in everyday signage) is, of course, the colour of blood. It became a symbol of workers’ struggle when, in 1831, calf’s blood was used to die the flag of the Merthyr Rising in Wales. It has since remained the colour of socialism – confused in the USA, where Donald Trump’s tie proclaims his allegiance to the GOP.
The colour’s symbolic value has varied over time, but its association with love has remained a constant, both physical and spiritual. The red carnation makes its appearance in many paintings of the Madonna and Child, confirming the image of love in its purest form. Red’s association with unrestrained passion, on the other hand, made it ideal as the symbol of fire, as one of the four elements.
St. Antoninus of Florence, in his theological coding of colours, quietened its ardour, asserting red as representative of charity, while Goethe later said it “conveys an impression of gravity and dignity, and at the same time of grace and attractiveness”.
The diversity of the work in Unafraid Red results in a variety of conflicts and relationships which reflect the historical and universal significance of the common feature of their dominant colour. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12171 | {

Everyone taking part has finished their main cancer treatment in the last 10 years. Or is having active surveillance for prostate cancer.
The programme was developed using feedback from healthcare professionals and people who have had cancer.
The main aim of this study is to find out whether the Renewed programme helps to improve the quality of life of people who have had cancer.
Researchers hope that around 2500 people will take part.
Neither you nor the study team will be able to decide which group you are in.
You see your doctor and specialist nurse regularly and have the usual support (standard of care). You can also access the NHS Live Well website for advice and tips to help you make the best choices about your health and wellbeing.
After a year, you can also have access to the Renewed online programme if you want to.
You see your doctor and specialist nurse and have the usual support. You also have access to the Renewed online programme.
You receive emails to remind you and encourage you to complete the different modules.
You have usual care and access the Renewed programme in the same way as group 2. You also see or speak with a nurse or healthcare assistant that has had training and can help you with the programme.
You see or speak with the healthcare professional 1 or 2 weeks after logging on to the Renewed programme for the first time. You can also have more support after 4 and 8 weeks if you need it.
Everyone taking part completes an online questionnaire after 6 months and a year. The questionnaire asks about your feelings and whether the programme has helped you to improve your quality of life.
You do not need to have extra hospital visits. If you join group 3, you can meet the nurse or healthcare assistant at your GP surgery. Or you can speak to them by phone or email.
There are no side effects from taking part in this study. Completing the questionnaires and talking about your concerns can be upsetting. You have support from the programme and your medical team if you need it. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12184 | {

Early humans coexisted with Mammoths. They hunted the species for food, its bones and tusks for making art, tools, and dwellings. The Mammoth disappeared from the mainland at the end of the Pleistocene 10,000 years ago, most likely through climate change and consequent shrinkage of its habitat, and hunting by humans. Isolated populations survived on St. Paul Island until 5,600 years ago and Wrangel Island until 4,000 years ago.

Most large (over a kilometre in diameter) near-Earth asteroids are now known, but recognition that airbursts (or fireballs resulting from nuclear-weapon-sized detonations of meteoroids in the atmosphere) have the potential to do greater damage than previously thought has shifted an increasing portion of the residual impact risk (the risk of impact from an unknown object) to smaller objects. Above the threshold size of impactor at which the atmosphere absorbs sufficient energy to prevent a ground impact, most of the damage is thought to be caused by the airburst shock wave, but owing to lack of observations this is uncertain. Here we report an analysis of the damage from the airburst of an asteroid about 19 metres (17 to 20 metres) in diameter southeast of Chelyabinsk, Russia, on 15 February 2013, estimated to have an energy equivalent of approximately 500 (±100) kilotons of trinitrotoluene (TNT, where 1 kiloton of TNT = 4.185×10(12) joules). We show that a widely referenced technique of estimating airburst damage does not reproduce the observations, and that the mathematical relations based on the effects of nuclear weapons-almost always used with this technique-overestimate blast damage. This suggests that earlier damage estimates near the threshold impactor size are too high. We performed a global survey of airbursts of a kiloton or more (including Chelyabinsk), and find that the number of impactors with diameters of tens of metres may be an order of magnitude higher than estimates based on other techniques. This suggests a non-equilibrium (if the population were in a long-term collisional steady state the size-frequency distribution would either follow a single power law or there must be a size-dependent bias in other surveys) in the near-Earth asteroid population for objects 10 to 50 metres in diameter, and shifts more of the residual impact risk to these sizes. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12187 | {

Nano Solar India produces the high efficient solar panels which generate more energy over the lifetime of your system than other panels. Our panels convert greatest percentage of sunlight into energy. So that, you can make the most of your roof space to produce significantly more electricity.
Solar Panel is the collection of several individual solar cells (Energy Particles called Photons) which converts the sunlight into electricity. This Conversion is due to the photovoltaic effect. This Solar Panel is also called as photovoltaic panel or photovoltaic module. The nominal output voltage of a solar panel is usually 12 Volts and output watts are 100 to 320 watts.The number and size of Solar Panel required is determined by the available light and the amount of energy required. Solar panel arrays can be sized to meet the most demanding electrical load requirements. These Solar Panels are need to be mounted on the roof, ground and where the sunlight is directly available.
The current obtained from the Solar Panels called DC power which are not directly used to the home appliances. For this purpose, Solar Inverter is used. We can directly use the DC power from the solar panels for some specific applications like cell phone recharger, LED night light.
The Photovoltaics are made out of gallium arsenide (GaAs). Gallium arsenide is made into a cylinder first and then that is sliced into cells. Solar cells are then connected to the rest of the power network. Solar concentrators, made of clear plastic, are placed above them to focus the Sun’s rays.
The photovoltaic panels can produce electricity from a range of frequency of light, this depends upon the construction . Currently the best achieved solar panel efficiency is around 20.1% in new commercial products typically lower than the efficiencies of their cells in isolation. The highly efficient mass-produced solar panels have energy density values of up to 16.22 W/ft2 (175 W/m2). | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12196 | {

Who would think that we’d actually see a medical doctor post an entry on his blog called “Add lard to your larder”? Dr. Michael Eades, the author of Protein Power, did just that. Among interesting points that he made, he said that the Mediterraneans are actually eating lard more than olive oil. The olive oil they produce in the region is for export. That certainly changes the face of what many believe is one of the healthiest diets!
In another of his posts about “The best low-carb book in print,” he quotes study summaries from the book. One study was particularly interesting. They looked at an ADA low-fat/high-carb diet against a low-carb/high-fat diet. I like studies like this because it pits one intervention diet against another, thus eliminating the conscientiousness factor when comparing the diets. Even though the high-fat dieters were eating considerably more saturated fat, the blood levels of saturated fat decreased from their pre-diet numbers, both in terms of percentage of fat in the blood and in terms of the absolute serum content. By the latter measure, saturated fat in the blood dropped 30% in the high-fat group, even though they were eating more saturated fat. Triglycerides fell by 51% in this group. The latter figure did not surprise me much because I already knew that triglycerides increase with carb intake. It would have been nice to know how they did weight-wise, but Dr. Eades did not quote those results. I guess I’ll have to get the book to find out. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12197 | {

Using the KL1, a parallel programming language, we developed two parallel systems for multiple sequence alignment on a loosely-connected parallel computer consisting of 64 processors, PIM/m. Multiple sequence alignment is a very typical method of protein sequence similarity analysis. Both systems employ simulated annealing, a stochastic method used to solve complex combinatorial optimization problems. By applying the first system, we can get good solutions without designing a cooling schedule. The second system has two features, the detection of the equilibrium and the passing solution. Both systems performed better than one of the most popular methods of multiple sequence alignment in a much shorter time than sequential simulated annealing systems. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12199 | {

Football is one of the most violent sports out there, so it should come as no surprise to learn that concussions occur in 1 in every 5.5 high school or college football games, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition to concussions, football players can suffer much more severe head injuries caused by tackles, falls, collisions, and other game-related injuries.
In football, most head injuries occur through direct impact to the head or face, rather than by internal injury. Through these direct hits to the head, the brain and spinal cord may suffer serious damage, which can cause painful and potentially disabling injuries. On top of the initial injuries, the continued trauma to the brain caused by multiple blows to the head can lead to the development of degenerative brain diseases.
Studies involving former professional football players have found that the majority have suffered serious brain damage as a direct result of their involvement in the game. One notable study, conducted by DR, Cantu at the Boston University Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, found that 79% of all autopsied brains of former football players, and 96% of autopsied brains of former NFL players showed evidence of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE). CTE is a progressive degenerative disease caused by repetitive blows to the head, usually caused by repeat concussions.
Any injury to the head, no matter now minor, can result in serious damage. In the event that a person experiences blows to the head on a regular basis, as is sometimes the case with athletes, they should know what to look for in a serious brain injury.
If you or someone you love was injured while playing football for a high school, college or professional team, you may have a legal right to compensation. Coaches are not legally permitted to push players with head injuries to continue to play, as they have in years past, and can potentially be liable to taking action to cause a player further damage. Additionally, leagues must provide regulation helmets and protective gear to better prevent serious brain injuries from occurring. If you feel your injury was the result of some negligence or error, you may have a case. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12205 | {

On average, 48 women will die each week of heart disease in New Zealand. This makes Heart disease the single biggest killer of women in New Zealand, yet most women don’t know this.
So why are most women are largely unaware of their risk of heart disease?
I think that this because women tend to overrate the risk of dying from breast cancer and therefore underrate the real risk of dying from heart disease.
There is also a misconception that heart disease is a man’s disease, possibly due to the fact that before age fifty, twice as many men as women have heart disease. And, until recently, most medical research was done on men, with the few studies that were done on women were not widely published.
Women may also be unaware of their risk of Heart disease because it affects them differently than men, which means women often present with different symptoms to men.
The good news about heart disease is that nearly all of it is preventable, and much of it may be reversible.
Every woman aged 40-60 should be concerned about heart disease, because, that’s the age range when a woman’s risk of heart disease starts to rise. However, women of all ages should monitor their blood pressure regularly, heart disease can begin early, even in the teen years.
The good news about Heart Disease is that it’s also never too late to improve heart health — even for those who have already had a heart attack.
If you want to avoid or reduce your dependence on medication, you may want to try Vedic Meditation, which is very effective at lowering blood pressure.
Vedic Meditation can lower blood pressure by about as much as taking a blood pressure medication: by about ten points systolic and six points diastolic.
The regular practice of Vedic Meditation strengthens the body’s inner intelligence leading to healthier more balanced functioning not only in the cardiovascular system but in the immune system, central nervous system, and probably other systems of the body as well. And all without the need for dramatic changes to one’s lifestyle.
However, if you combine Vedic Meditation with a good heart-healthy diet, regular exercise and better sleeping habits you really notice an improvement in your overall health and wellbeing. With the added bonus of being more relaxed and able to ‘roll with the punches’ – to transcend the stresses in life. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12206 | {

The Institute of Medicine states, “Educating health professionals in and with communities negatively affected by the social determinants of health can generate awareness among those professionals about the potential root causes of ill health, contributing to more effective strategies for improving health and health care for underserved individuals, communities, and populations…” Community-based service-learning has been shown repeatedly to increase students’ awareness and understanding of the social determinants of health.
This CLSM course provides a structured learning experience that combines community service with preparation and reflection. This 4 year curriculum begins with a preparation and action phases over the first 3 semesters of medical school with a total of 66 course contact hours. There are additional, advanced training and activities during clinical years. Learners work with over 50 community based organizations/ partners focused on one of four underserved or disadvantaged populations including elderly, disabled, poverty, and immigrant/ refugee populations. The curriculum utilizes all of the core components of service learning including preparation, action, and reflection.

Infancy is marked by the search for balance.
After thousands of movement iterations, a young child finds a stable, upright position and takes her first step.
But whether it’s learning to walk, or performing in sport, the importance of preserving stability doesn’t change.
When Roger Federer lunges several steps forward to collect a rapidly falling drop shot, balance is essential. So too when, in mid-air, Lionel Messi strikes a bouncing ball into the top corner of the opposition’s net.
Moving with balance requires the manipulation of our centre of gravity.
By widening our base of support, the more balanced we become, and vice versa. It’s why children learn to stand up from a deep squatted position, not the other way around.

What price a pair of lunar wheels? Try $US11.5m.
At least, that is if the rover has been ordered by the Canadian Space Agency and you been tasked to tackle the terrain of the Moon and Mars.
It's a hefty chunk of GLXP prizemoney, but this $US11.5m rover has no ordinary wheels, either.
McGill University mechanical engineering professor Peter Radziszewski and his team plan to base the wheels on a model they're calling the "i-ring".
It's a fabric wheel filled with particulate and it's caught the eye of the CSA for its ability to help rovers climb obstacles larger than their individual wheels.
It’s “like a (metal) bean-bag wheel,” Prof Radziszewski told the Star.
That also means it can travel at higher speeds than a rubber or pneumatic tyre, which bounce easily, or solid wheels, which can turn a rover over on impact.
The "bean-bag" wheels conform with shapes they come into contact with and have superior climbing ability, Prof Radziszewski said. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12211 | {

Siblings of seriously ill children supported by Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity delivered an open letter to government ministers calling for better recognition of the value of sibling support this week.
Signed by more than 200 people, the letter asks Care Minister Caroline Dinenage MP, and Children and Families Minister Nadhim Zahawi MP, to ensure all children and young people with seriously ill brothers and sisters have access to the support they need.
To mark Siblings Day this week, Eddie, 13, Rose, nine, and Hannah, 10, whose families are supported by Rainbow Trust, delivered the letter to the ministers in Whitehall alongside Zillah Bingley, Chief Executive of Rainbow Trust which supports families with a seriously ill child.
Rainbow Trust has eight care teams of Family Support Workers across England including two in London providing practical and emotional help to families at home, in hospital and in the community, wherever they can to make life a little easier.
Sibling support from Rainbow Trust can help children learn important coping mechanisms, providing an outlet for their feelings. Practical support can help them get to school and keep up with homework. Meeting other children in similar situations can help them feel less isolated and ensure they are able to cope both now and in the future.
Many of the parents and professionals and supporters who signed the letter left moving comments.
The letter was created as a result of Rainbow Trust’s report, See Us, Hear Us, Notice Us: The case for supporting siblings of seriously ill children, published in December 2018, which highlighted that preventative support can reduce the risk of children experiencing a long-term negative impact on their mental health and education.
“We delivered a powerful message to ministers about the huge value of supporting siblings of seriously ill children, whose needs are all too often overlooked.
“More and more children are growing up with a seriously ill brother or sister as a result of medical advances, but the services to support these siblings are poorly funded. Many local authorities have had to reduce funding as budgets are squeezed.
“We urge ministers to support these siblings, not least because it can prevent future costs for public services by reducing the likelihood of more serious consequences for their mental health, education and overall life chances.
Rainbow Trust’s report has been warmly welcomed and the need for sibling support has been raised by several MPs in parliament. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12215 | {

Most people think that piracy is an antiquated problem without any sort of modern day presence. This is not the case. Unfortunately, maritime piracy is still alive and well in some parts of the world. Most recently, piracy off of the coast of Somalia has drawn widespread media attention.
In recent years, Somalia has become a high risk area for maritime piracy. This crisis has had a ripple effect, causing problems for the United States as well as the entire global economy. Since 2008, pirates have hijacked 175 vessels and attacked 445 others, kidnapping 3,000 crewmembers from over 40 countries in the process.
in 2012 alone, 6 ships were hijacked. At one point, there were 241 hostages and 10 ships being held by Somali pirates. Although piracy activity around the world has decreased, in this isolated region it is on the rise—and the widespread damage is beginning to cause a ripple effect across the global economy.
Why Is Piracy in One Area Affecting the Rest of the World?
Shipping lanes have become the most reliable means for people around the world to import and export the goods that they need; for example, food and medicine. With piracy threatening this security, the situation is beginning to look severely problematic. Not only are these attacks threatening the global economy, the dangers that the pirates pose for the crewmembers of these commercial ships are also becoming a very real issue. The lack of government control in the coastal areas in which the Somali pirates operate makes it easy for these individuals to organize their attacks. In response, the United States government has begun to take action to protect its citizens.
How Is the United States Government Addressing the Problem?
Since their efforts began in 2009, when the Obama administration came into office, there have been clear signs of progress as the United States military strives to undermine these attacks. In 2011, the number of successes for the Somali pirates fell to about half, in terms of both the number of ships that they were able to hijack and the number of hostages that they were able to acquire. Although the numbers of both remain at an elevated level, the work that the international community is doing to combat piracy is beginning to yield significant results. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12216 | {

Cluster headaches are recurring assaults of excruciating ache on one aspect of the pinnacle, usually behind a watch. The ache might lengthen to the brow, nose, cheek, upper jaw, or again of the pinnacle on the identical facet. The attacks typically happen multiple times per day with each Health Issues assault lasting lower than three hours, even with out remedy. Most typically the attacks happen on daily basis for a number of weeks or months after which subside for a interval, though for some individuals the attacks can proceed for months and even years.
It is critical to have a prescription out of your GP to use oxygen. This therapy is VERY efficient. Please encourage your GP to prescribe it and teach you to make use of it effectively. They’re fairly rare and tend to affect men over the age of 20. Cluster headaches can come and go, with individuals Health Service experiencing repeated bouts of headaches before being freed from them for months and even years at a time before they return. Maintain a regular sleep sample: Cluster headaches have been related to adjustments in the sleep routine.
Eighty years ago in Munich, French and British politicians handed Czechoslovakia over to Adolf Hitler’s carving knife. Twenty-5 years later, a German veteran of the following battle based a conference in Munich that, in its personal method, was designed to make sure that such a mistake would by no means reoccur. That veteran, Ewald von Kleist, got here from a distinguished Prussian military family; he served as an officer within the Wehrmacht, had opposed Hitler, and took part actively in a plot towards him. He was despatched to a jail camp, and was fortunate to have escaped execution.
Given that many patients can have multiple daily assaults, it’s important that preventive measures are thought-about for power and episodic cluster complications. The mainstay is verapamil, a calcium channel blocker which is often effectively tolerated and can be used to deal with hypertension and angina. Prednisone, a steroid, is often effective in in the first levels of therapy however has too many severe side-effects for use long-time period. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12221 | {

MOSCOW - A Tesla Roadster traveling around the world made history last Friday as the first car without Russian components to receive official clearance to park in Moscow's Red Square.Red Square is the country's former royal citadel and the president's residence - an iconic venue considered the epicenter of Moscow and Russia itself. On April 29, the Roadster was the center of a VIP celebration with more than 250 guests at Moscow's Autoville Museum, where the car is on display all weekend. Moscow is the sixth stop in the "Odyssey of Pioneers," the first round-the-world tour by a zero-emission GT car. The 37,000-kilometer voyage, sponsored by Tesla Motors and Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer, includes displays, owner appreciation gatherings, and VIP events in 15 cities and more than 150 towns on three continents. Previous stops have included Monaco, Milan and Budapest, where Nikola Tesla came up with the design for his revolutionary alternating-current induction motor in 1882. The Tesla Roadster - the only electric car for sale in Europe or North America - uses an AC induction motor descended from the scientist's original vision. "The Roadster is an iconic and ground-breaking car, so it's appropriate that it made history in such a poignant way," said Tesla technician Luke McClure, who is driving the Roadster across three continents. "It was humbling to be granted the honor of parking in Russia's most hallowed ground - and at the same time we have been mobbed by fans excited to see the Roadster in person." Throughout Slovenia, Hungary, Russia and other countries, the Roadster has been recharging from conventional outlets using existing infrastructure. The TAG Heuer Tesla Roadster has charged from standard outlets at hotels, a solar panel array in Italy and even at a barn in rural Switzerland, demonstrating the versatility and ease of charging. Fans can follow the Odyssey online and become part of the tour's social media experiments on Facebook. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12224 | {

Now is the time when samples of carpet beetle adults and larvae become more numerous. The following drawings, reprinted from last years newsletter, should help with identification.
Black carpet beetle larvae are 1/4 inch long, tapered in shape and have a golden sheen over the brown body. The black carpet beetle adult is 1/8 to 1/4 inch long, elongate oval, and as the name implies, black in color.
Varied carpet beetle larvae are 1/4 inch long and widest at the middle. They typically have alternating light and dark bands across the top of the abdomen, but this character is not prominent in all specimens. The adult is 1/16 to 1/8 inch long and nearly round or broadly oval. The wing covers are marked with a mottled pattern of yellow, white and orange scales on a black background. The colored scales may disappear from an old specimen.
Control of carpet beetles was discussed in the newsletter one year ago. See Horticulture and Home Pest Newsletter, April 7, 1993 , page 43. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12225 | {

Can a construction site feel pleasant and comfortable? That might be going a bit far. But one thing is for sure, a workplace with an unusually low noise level and low quantities of dust is a much more pleasant place to work. The modern way of constructing wooden buildings transforms the construction site into an assembly site.
Wood can easily be worked and crafted with simple tools. More than almost any other construction material, wood therefore allows for last-minute changes to the building. And these adjustments and adaptations can be carried out using traditional hand tools. Wood is easy to work with in terms of holes, cutouts and fixings, making it easy to secure installations in place. Natural spaces in floor structures and walls units also make it easier to run cables and pipes.
As a construction material, wood is felt to be attractive and natural, and consumers have a strong connection to it. The climate issue has, of course, also contributed to the popularity of wood. From an environmental perspective, renewable construction materials are the only sustainable option, and today’s highly engaged Swedes are becoming more and more inclined to make smart environmental choices.
Wood represents a healthy and cosy living environment. It simply feels right to surround yourself with it. Walking barefoot on a soaped or oiled wood floor is a special feeling and compared with other materials, a wood floor can feel warm despite low indoor temperatures. Furthermore, wood has a capacity to even out humidity; the wood stores moisture during damp times of the year and then releases it during the drier seasons, keeping indoor air humidity nice and even.
A positive side-effect of wood construction taking place in a factory is that the living environment around the build is more pleasant, since the disruption to neighbours is neither as significant or as long. There is also no need to close off or re-route local traffic to the same extent.
The structural frame of the eight-storey block Limnologen in Växjö has a solid wooden floor structure and load-bearing walls. The stairwell and lift shaft are also wood. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12227 | {

Cyclotron Frequency Calculator helps you calculate the frequency of circular motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field. Reading the text below you will learn what a cyclotron is, how to compute cyclotron frequency and what is cyclotron velocity.
Cyclotrons were one of the first particle's accelerators. The particles in cyclotron are moving in semicircular paths. Every time they pass a particular region, an electric field is switched on to accelerate them. To successfully accelerate the particles we need to know the rate at which the particles go around so that we switch on the electric field exactly when the particle passes through this region. This rate is the cyclotron frequency. So how to compute cyclotron frequency?
This equation does not take into account the relativistic effects and breaks down if the magnetic field is too strong or the particle mass is too small.
In the advanced mode, you can compute the cyclotron velocity. It is a velocity of a particle moving in a circle with cyclotron frequency. To do this, you need to specify the radius of the circular motion. Beware that if you choose the radius too large, you can easily exceed the speed of light! This is not a sign of a breakdown of special relativity; instead, it signals the need to include the relativistic effects. It turns out that the closer the particle's velocity to the speed of light the more energy it takes it to accelerate it further. The equation for the cyclotron frequency does not take this effect into account, and that's why it might sometimes give wrong answers. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12228 | {

Mike Malcom: Sitting around our Leamington Learners concept are our cogs, but there’s also our school virtues. And so as we explored the Tātaiako document, we saw that ako fitted really nicely into our cogs, but those other elements about manaakitanga and whanaungatanga fitted really nicely into our school virtues and so what we did, is we just sort of unpacked those to make sure that all those things that were really important for our Māori students to achieve as Māori, were what we were seeing in our school virtues and how we treated each other, not just as students, but also how we interact with each other as adults, how we wanted the students to interact together, how we might interact with our community. So it was quite an overarching concept of who we are, not just as learners, but who we are as people.
Leesa Mangino: One of the opportunities that we have for our children, our senior students, on a Friday is called Treetops TV. So, that is our school television programme where the children are in charge, they drive it. They use technology to record what’s happening around the school. They have a sports show where they talk about the different sports that are happening so it’s a key driver in terms of the learning because they’re using a lot of the cogs and virtues while they’re actually engaged in that task. They are being effective communicators, they’re making a difference to the school because they’re sharing what’s happening with our community. They’re being active learners. They’re being effective thinkers because they’re having to come up with the shows and do their scripts.
Student 1: We use the iPads in Treetops TV, mainly for filming, but also for writing up scripts and questions if it’s a quiz. The Treetops TV videos go onto the school website and on to YouTube. We watch the Treetops TV videos when they are published, then the Board of Trustees and other parents at the school watch them.
Student 2: I watch them with my Dad, thinks they are very cool and he sometimes gives me advice like what we can do better. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12229 | {

What is your parity score?
The Global Women's Leadership Initiative Index (The Leadership Index) shows us where women are in governments around the world, how much power they hold and how they got to their positions of leadership.
We explore the data through three pillars – pathways, positions and power – to understand the correlations between different variables, decisions and policies and how those decisions ultimately affect how much power women hold in public office. The Leadership Index focuses on positions across the five sectors of government: executive, legislative, judiciary, civil service and security — and also from the national to local levels.
The Index and the Data Portal are initiatives of the Women Public Service Project which has the goal of increasing the percentage of women in public office to 50% by 2050: 50x50.
The Leadership Index allows policymakers to see how their country compares globally and identify effective policy change to promote gender parity. The individual pillar scores, combined to create the overall index score, paint a picture of women's leadership within each specific country.
Sweden holds the highest overall score on the Global Women's Leadership Index. Sweden has a Power score of 79.52, a Positions score of 59.65, and a Pathways score of 69.72.
Finland has an overall score of 65.82. Finland has a Power score of 91.45,a Positions score of 45.27, and a Pathways score of 60.73.
Norway has an overall score of 65.76. Norway has a Power score of 80.26, a Positions score of 48.73, and a Pathways score of 68.29.
Canada has an overall score of 65.57. Canada has a Power score of 80.87, a Positions score of 53.22 and a Pathways score of 62.62.
Slovenia has an overall score of 61.39. Slovenia has a Power score of 77.56, a Positions score of 44.03, and a Pathways score of 62.57. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12233 | {

As previously discussed, businesses have inherent risks when planning any celebration involving candles. But the risk transcends into homes as well. Between Chanukah, Christmas, New Year’s and other end-of-year celebrations, the mix of candles, trees and crowding can put you and your family at risk for fires.
Candles are used in seven out of 10 U.S. households, and about one-third of all retail sales occur during the holiday season, according to the National Candle Association. And with more candles in homes and businesses, that certainly correlates with the increase in fires.
December is the peak time of year for home candle fires. In December, 12% of home candle fires began with decorations compared to 4% the rest of the year. According to the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), the top 3 days for home candle fires are New Year’s Day, Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
So before you host or attend a party with lots of candles, be sure to check how close they are to each other as well as to other decorative items, like trees and cloths, and that they are out of reach of children. The NFPA suggests that candles be kept at least 12 inches from anything that can burn.
Lit candles should not be placed in windows where blinds or curtains can catch fire.
From 2012-2016, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 8,200 home structure fires that were annually started by candles. These fires caused an annual average of 80 deaths, 770 injuries and $264 million in direct property damage. The civil litigation that arises from fire injuries, deaths and property damage are immense, and can easily be prevented by following the tips above.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a fire, you need an experienced lawyer to present your injuries during insurance matters, litigation and workers’ compensation board hearings. We’ll also prepare and file any required documents and will be the voice for you and your family in all hearings or proceedings. Our role is to help protect you. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12238 | {

Online, they will fill important gaps in understanding how changing climate and weather patterns affect plant distribution and biology, such as flowering time, and help scientists predict which plants will be winners or losers in the future. The ranges of some species will expand and the ranges of others contract as they all shift toward higher, cooler latitudes. Some lineages of plants, he notes, may have difficulty keeping up.
An Herbaria team just finished digitizing all 340,000 of the specimens from New England, including purple lovegrass (Eragrostis spectabilis) collected in Winchester, Massachusetts, in 1888; ladyslippers (Cypripedium aucale) gathered in Needham, Massachusetts, from 1883 to 1894; and a common thistle (Cirsium vulgare) found in an open pasture in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, in 1921. Davis characterizes the project as a “moonshot” that nevertheless was completed in less than two years with the aid of a system of conveyor belts, barcodes, and digital cameras: an assembly line for digitization that lets his team capture a specimen in 10 to 15 seconds—generating as many as 14,000 records a month. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12240 | {

Post-performance discussion on Feb 28.
In Veli Lehtovaara’s new work Conversations, three dancers converse through movement and words with other forms of nature, their contemporaries, their ancestors, each other, and the audience. The register of the group conversation oscillates between what’s spoken and moved, what’s logical and poetic, what’s philosophical and practical, and what’s imaginary and actual.
This is a dance of gradual transformation. The passage of steps and thoughts unfolds in circles and waves. It is a performance of letting go of that which will not stay without a holding. Falling, drifting, floating, and flying, singing within and dancing without, breathing and walking together, it is a conversation with three distinct voices that entangle as they form circular paths in time. A dance where words become what they once were - trees, stars, and substance of primeval environment - writing turns back to traces of movement.
The choreography incorporates forms from the natural development and evolution of things, cyclical change, and the ebb and flow of objects or events from different environments and living systems. Breathing, seeing, walking, and conversing are the basic materials for the choreography, and human complexity is countered by this simplicity. Efficiency, delicacy, and nuance are the distinguishing qualities of this dance.
How does the passage of energy and information appear as thoughts between transforming and transformed bodies in a dance? What is waiting in thinking while dancing? How can we see dancing as the movement of nature and choreography as a natural phenomenon?
The performance combines choreographic, ecological, philosophical and visual forms of thinking. It gives attention to what unites human beings with other living beings in different stages and scales of life especially from the perspective of corporeality, perception and movement. Becoming a member of choreography is an event of belonging.
The visual scenography of the performance is created by Eija-Liisa Ahtila. The moving images pursue to create signs of a presence of a place and suggest a region for the dance to take place in. The location is a clearing of a field and a narrow country road that runs across it. The images bring attention on the events and time indicated by this region - wind, birds, change of light, the arrival of the mist - the falling of the night. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12241 | {

nalorphine (năl´ərfēn), derivative of morphine that acts to reverse the effects of morphine and other narcotics. It counteracts narcotic-induced nervous system and respiratory system depression but is not effective against depression induced by other sedatives such as barbiturates. Nalorphine and other narcotic antagonists are useful in reversing the effects of narcotic overdoses. Because nalorphine causes withdrawal symptoms in addicts, it is administered to apparent ex-addicts to determine if they have returned to drug use. Nalorphine is marketed under the trade name Nalline. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12244 | {

The Inlandsbanan is a 1300 km long scenic railway line in Sweden. From Kristinehamn in the south via Mora, Östersund to Gällivare in the north.
The Inland Line or Inlandsbanan is a roughly 1300 km long railway line in Sweden running from Kristinehamn in the south via Mora and Östersund to Gällivare in the north. The southern part from Kristinehamn to Mora nowadays is closed for the most part however the remainder from Mora via Östersund to Gällivare still sees passenger traffic. This part is over 1000 km long.
As the name suggest the railway runs inland far away from the Baltic Sea through sparsely populated areas with large pine forests. On its way the Inland Line crosses many smaller and larger rivers who make their way towards the Baltic Sea. The line is relatively flat and has to negotiate smaller hills only from time to time. It is not unusual to spot reindeer or other wild animals on the journey.
Passenger traffic on the Inland Line nowadays is purely touristic. On the whole line from Mora via Östersund to Gällivare passenger trains run only during a few weeks in summer. It is not possible to travel the whole line within one day, an overnight stop in Östersund is necessary. On the southern part from Mora to Östersund there will be an additional service aimed at the local population that will run throughout the year in 2017.
The touristic trains in summer provide a number of special arrangements for passengers. On every train there is a guide telling stories about the history of the line and the areas it passes through. In many stations the train stops for a longer time, giving travellers time to explore the surroundings. Breakfast and lunch is also provided optionally at longer intermediate stops. At some stations there are also local bands and dancers performing. A popular stop is directly at the Polar Circle. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12245 | {

Google has begun testing of its self driving Lexus RX450h prototype in Austin this week to see how the prototype responds to traffic, people and different road conditions. The other self-driving Lexus SUV prototype is expected to arrive in Austin by this weekend.
Google has been testing tiny, bubble-shaped self driving prototypes since 2009 on public roads around company headquarters in Mountain View, California. This is the first time a company is trying to test its Lexus SUV prototype outside the California. The data gathered during these tests will be very crucial for the further development of self-driving technology.
As per the company spokesperson, the company is moving from the initial development phase (where the main focus was to make technology work) to a new phase where the main focus is to see both how people in the community perceive and interact with prototypes, and practical realities of operating and maintaining them.
Austin is known for Google’s Fiber high speed internet which is crucial for prototype tests and collection of test data. So Austin residents; don’t get surprised if you come across any self driving Lexus SUV and also don’t forget to give feedback to Google about your amazing experience. The Google self-driving cars have all necessary controls like a steering wheel, brake pedal and other equipment that can be manually controlled if the need arises.
Google is eyeing to implement fully developed self driving technology in cars by 2020. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12248 | {

Frog skin has been linked to cellular healing for over a decade. Research now shows some factors – antimicrobial peptides – may have more benefit than realized.
More traditional options for speeding up cellular healing might include the application of aloe or honey, but one less conventional method that has stood the test of time is the use of frog skin secretions. Simply put, rub a frog on your wound and watch it heal. Not yet certified to be credible, new studies show support for developing an approved medical alternative.
In 1987, researchers discovered a number of proteins known as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in the African clawed frog were able to inhibit a variety of wound pathogens including bacteria, fungi and even amebae. The discovery, not tested in a clinical environment, suggested frog skin secretions could improve cellular healing.
During testing, the esculentin protein found its way into the cells, suggesting even more might be happening than previously thought, and leaving room for future exploration to determine the intracellular targets and their contribution to overall cellular healing.
The results suggest AMPs may have more benefit than simply keeping out pathogens. With future research, the entire spectrum of benefit should be understood and eventually lead to the realization of an urban legend. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12249 | {

The Church urges her sons and daughters to enter with prudence and charity into discussion and collaboration with members of other religions.
Let Christians, while witnessing to their own faith and way of life, acknowledge, preserve and encourage the spiritual and moral truths found among non-Christians, also their social life and culture (Nostra aetate, 2).
Dialogue requires both listening and active communication. It can take many forms - the ‘dialogue of life’, the dialogue of joint action, the dialogue of theological discourse and the dialogue of shared religious experience (Dialogue and Proclamation, 1991). Interreligious dialogue can help participants to grow in their own faith on condition that they remain open to the action of God which comes through the dialogue partner. Religions themselves can benefit as they are enriched and purified by their encounter with the beliefs, practices and values of other faiths. Dialogue can also be a means of building up and strengthening social harmony. It lessens the possibility that religion will become a factor which aggravates already existing political, social or other divisions and tensions.
DIALOGIKA ("items of dialogue") is an online library that chronicles the evolving conversation and relationship between the Christian and Jewish communities. Maintained through the collaboration of the Council of Centers on Jewish-Christian Relations (CCJR) and the Institute for Jewish-Catholic Relations of Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, it provides a comprehensive cyber-archive of official statements, historic documents, educational resources, and current information. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12250 | {

The following videos serve as an introduction to using OrcaFlex (an OrcaFlex Tutorial) as a tool for static and dynamic mooring analysis of a pontoon barge system in a mild environment in relatively shallow (64 feet) water depth in a bay.
A quick explanation of modeling simple multi-component mooring lines is given. It is also explained how pontoons can be modeled with pipe elements permitting hydrodynamic motion response to be simulated in the time domain using Morison Equation analysis entirely within OrcaFlex.
Hydrodynamic analysis results are shown for critical mooring line tensions using both static and dynamic mooring analysis options. Wind loads, current loads and wave loads are applied progressively to demonstrate the relative importance of each load component. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12251 | {

Canine personality is of keen interest to dog owners and researchers alike. The regular human contact with them makes dogs an ideal species to use in the investigation of animal personality. This study specifically focused on Labrador Retrievers, consistently one of the most popular breeds both in the UK and around the world. Using surveys completed by dog owners, data was gathered on the behaviour of the dogs, in addition to the physical characteristics and management characteristics of the dogs (n= 1978). Twelve personality traits were identified and investigated for associations with the demographic data. It was found that the working status of the dog was more commonly associated with differences in personality than other analyzed factors. Gundogs had higher scores for 'fetching tendency' and 'trainability' than Showdogs or Pets (P<. 0.05). Chocolate dogs were more 'agitated when ignored' and showed more 'excitability' than black dogs, and lower 'trainability' and 'noise fear' than both yellow and black dogs (all P<. 0.05). Dogs exercised for longer periods showed less aggression, less fear of humans and objects and lower separation anxiety than dogs that were not as active. The effects observed in this study may be due to the experience and training of the dogs, the work-related genetic strain of Labrador Retriever or most likely, a combination of both influences. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12253 | {

When the B-52 was developed, it required eight engines of that vintage to make it fly. The B-52A had eight J57s at 10,000 pounds each, for a total of 80,000 pounds of thrust! Most single wide body engines today produce that much thrust. The largest produces 126,000 pounds EACH!

A home ultimately is worth what someone will pay for it. Everything else is an estimate of value. To determine a property's value, most people turn to either an appraisal or a comparative market analysis. An appraisal is a certified appraiser's estimate of the value of a home at a given point in time. Appraisers consider square footage, construction quality, design, floor plan, neighborhood and availability of transportation, shopping and schools. Appraisers also take lot size, topography, view and landscaping into account. A comparative market analysis is a real estate broker's or agent's informal estimate of a home's market value, based on sales of comparable homes in a neighborhood. Most agents will give you a comparative market analysis for free. You can do your own cost comparison by looking up recent sales of comparable properties in public records. These records are available at local recorder or assessor offices, through private real estate information companies or on the Internet. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12255 | {

The Langtang Valley is an alpine valley situated 130 km north of Kathmandu. It is a National Park close to the border with Tibet, China. It is Nepal’s first national park, and lies between the Himalayan range to the north, dominated by Langtang Lirung (7,245 m), the highest peak in the area, and smaller peaks to the south – Chimse Danda (ridge), Ganja La pass (5,122 m), Jugal Himal and Dorje Lakpa (6,989 m).Langtang is one of the nearest trekking destinations from Kathmandu. The trek here is more adventurous as the area is visited by fewer tourists. Langtang Valley trek constitutes of spectacular sceneries and a visit to this area provides with an opportunity to explore the lifestyle and culture of the Tamangs. Tamangs are renowned for their uniqueness in craftsmanship, language, dress and houses. Langtang is also known for its many glaciers. It also constitutes of high altitude lakes that include Gosainkunda, Parvatikunda, Bhairavkunda and Dudhkunda. The forests in the region have temperate and sub-alpine vegetation. The Langtang area is abundant in natural resources and includes various fauna and flora.
The Gosaikund trek allows you the opportunity to visit the Sacred Lakes. Kunda is a Nepali word meaning small lake. There are 108 kunds in this area Saraswati Kund, Bhairab Kund, Surya Kund and Gosaikund are the most famous ones.

Deciphering the link between the human brain and behavior has always been one of the most intriguing-and often challenging-aspects of scientific endeavor. The sequencing of the human genome, and advances in molecular biology, have illuminated the pathogenesis of many neurological diseases and have propelled our knowledge of how the brain controls behavior.
In this classic text, prominent researchers in the field expertly survey the entire spectrum of neural science, giving an up-to-date, unparalleled view of the discipline for anyone who studies brain and mind. Here, in one remarkable volume, is the current state of neural science knowledge-ranging from molecules and cells, to anatomic structures and systems, to the senses and cognitive functions-all supported by more than 900 precise, full-color illustrations. In addition to clarifying complex topics, the book also benefits from a cohesive organization, beginning with an insightful overview of the interrelationships between the brain, nervous system, genes, and behavior. Principles of Neural Science then proceeds with an in-depth examination of the molecular and cellular biology of nerve cells, synaptic transmission, and the neural basis of cognition. The remaining sections illuminate how cells, molecules, and systems give us sight, hearing, touch, movement, thought, learning, memories, and emotions.
Ultimately, Principles of Neural Science affirms that all behavior is an expression of neural activity, and that the future of clinical neurology and psychiatry hinges on the progress of neural science. Far exceeding the scope and scholarship of similar texts, this unmatched guide offers a commanding, scientifically rigorous perspective on the molecular mechanisms of neural function and disease-one that you'll continually rely on to advance your comprehension of brain, mind, and behavior. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12258 | {

The word ‘sanctity’ is an important word. It’s a word that we don’t use or encounter very often, but it is a word that gives significance and value to every human life.
Sanctity is the state or quality of being holy, which means set apart by God for a specific work…for a good work. Sanctity also means “of the ultimate or utmost importance”.
So you can see how this word is important as we study Genesis 25 and see the lives of three people converge in the same chapter: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
It was of the utmost importance that the life of Abraham, the father of faith, be holy, set apart by God for a good work. It was of the utmost importance that the life of Isaac, the son of promise, be holy, set apart by God for a good work. And it was of the utmost importance that the life of Jacob, grabber of heels, be holy, set apart by God for a good work.
And it is of the utmost importance that every life — including YOUR life — be holy, set apart by God for a good work.
And it is! Your life is of the utmost importance and has been already made holy. It has already been set apart by God for the best work — to bring God and to give God glory. To glorify God with all that you are, with all that you have, and with all that you do — this is the meaning of life.
And these are just a few things we uncovered in our study of Genesis 25. Listen to our study of Genesis 25 as we pause and consider the meaning and importance of life. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12263 | {

Most of all, we want children to develop all the skills they will need in order to confidently face the ever changing world of tomorrow.
Our curriculum has been reviewed in line with the new National curriculum introduced in September 2014. It is currently organised into discrete subject areas, for example, maths, English, history and art etc; each subject area has its own subject leader who is responsible for managing that subject. All leaders have investigated valuable websites links and resources that you and your child can access at home as an extra resource and support. These resources can be found under the various year group pages.
Develop their mastery within a subject area.
Data handling skills learned in maths, for example, can be purposely applied in geography and science; experiencing and describing processes in geography and science offer children relevant experiences and enhanced understanding when learning how to write explanations in English. Art, music and film can all enhance learning experiences within English. The aim is to support our pupils to see the relevance, within a wider context, of the skills and knowledge they are acquiring in specific subjects.
Year groups produce a half termly overview of the key themes and links they will be covering and this is available on the year group pages.
For Key Stage 1 reading is taught using a variety of reading schemes, including Songbird and Tree Top to give access to a wide range of vocabulary. Phonics is taught using a mixture of Letters and Sounds and Jolly Phonics through whole class teaching, differentiated groups, small group and 1:1 support where necessary. It will develop the children's reading and writing skills by increasing and embedding the children's phonological awareness- it is done in an active and fun way. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12264 | {

TIL you can use reserved identifiers in C# if you use >@ as a prefix.
Keywords are predefined, reserved identifiers that have special meanings to the compiler. They cannot be used as identifiers in your program unless they include @ as a prefix.
For example, @int is a valid identifier, but int is not because int is a keyword.
The identifier—without the @ as prefix—can be seen as a normal identifier in other languages, because the character @ is actually not part of the identifier. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12269 | {

When Use the Definite Article ?
When evoking the names of countries in French, you will usually use a definite French masculine, feminine or plural article (le / la / les) to go with it.
A: Quel est le nom du pays à l’est de la France ? What’s the name of the country east of France ?
B: C’est l’Allemagne. It’s Germany.
However if you are interested in expressing in French the idea of going to a country, city or continent (Eg. Je suis à Paris, Je vais en Russie, Je vis aux Etats-Unis), you should check the “à”, “en” and “aux” lesson.
On va visiter les Pyrénées. We are going to visit the Pyrenees.
Le Canada se trouve au nord des Etats-Unis, dans l’Amérique du Nord. Canada is to the North of the United States, in North America.
La Seine est un fleuve qui traverse Paris. The Seine is a river that runs through Paris.
Nous sommes à Monaco. (au Monaco: à + le = au) We are in Monaco.
Elle vit à Singapour. She lives in Singapour.
Il vient de Cuba. (du Cuba: de + le = du) He comes from Cuba.
That is something that makes the French language complicated. But don’t worry. Just try to remember which of the most frequent names of countries in French are masculine or feminine. In most you will eiter automatically deduce whether you should or shouln’t use the artilce, or try to express the thing in such a way that you are certain is correct. For example, instead of saying “Les vins de France et d’Italie”, you will just say “les vins français et italiens”. That’s one of the learning and communication strategies, by the way.

Homeownership rate experiences biggest drop in 70 years!
The U.S. homeownership rate experienced its biggest drop in 2010 in 70 years, dropping to 65.1%, down from 66.2% in 2000, according to data from the Census Bureau.
The decline came even as the nation added 15.8 million housing units, increasing the total housing inventory by 13.6%, the Census Bureau said Thursday.
Eleven states suffered declines of at least two percentage points in their homeownership rates, led by South Carolina, with a decrease of 2.88 percentage points.
Nevada, the state that experienced the biggest housing boom in the nation over the past decade, saw its homeownership rate fall by 2.09 percentage points. The state’s housing units grew by 41.9% from 2000 to 2010. Housing growth outpaced population growth — which was already the fastest in the nation — by almost 7 percentage points.
Nevada, also registered the biggest growth in vacancy rates. The state’s vacancy rate, a measure of the share of unoccupied units on the Census survey, rose by 5.1 percentage points in 2010 from 10 years earlier. It stood at 14.3% at the end of 2010.
That increase “was almost completely driven by the increase in Clark County,” said Ellen Wilson, a statistician in the Census Bureau’s Economic and Housing Statistics Division, on a conference call Thursday. Clark County, home to Las Vegas, saw a 6.4 percentage point increase in vacant units.
Nevada’s vacancy rate was followed by Florida, (up 4.2 percentage points); Michigan (up 4 percentage points); and Georgia (up 3.9 percentage points).
The 10 states with the highest housing unit growth rates were in the West and South. After Nevada, Arizona clocked the second-largest gain, as its housing inventory rose by 29.9%, followed by Utah, with a 27.5% gain, and Idaho, with a 26.5% increase.
California had the most total housing units in 2010, as it did in 2000, with an inventory of 13.68 million units. Texas was next, with 9.98 million units, followed by Florida, which gained enough housing units to surpass New York. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12274 | {

On our last morning at Space Camp, we got to raid the Education Resource Center for all kinds of freebies, including some amazing Mars posters. They gave us so many fun things to take home that we actually had trouble fitting them all in our suitcases!
After getting our goodies, we headed over to the IMAX theater to watch an amazing movie called Dream Big, which was an inspirational story about how young engineers change the world.
We then were presented with our final engineering challenge- we had to build a lander and a rover to deliver a payload (in this case, an egg) to the Martian surface. Our payload survived impact and travelled over 91 inches on the Martian surface.
Having completed our Moonwalk, we got to spend some time in the shuttle Endeavor- Ms. Imhoff and Mrs. Craven worked hard to land the shuttle and get everyone home safely.
Now that we were safely back on Earth, it was time to graduate from Space Camp! Our group, Team Columbus, took home the "Best Mission" award for our service on the ISS and on Mars. Mrs. Craven also took home the "Right Stuff" award for exemplifying the spirit of an explorer. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12275 | {

What is Agbo Jedi Jedi? Recent studies show that more than 80% of people in the world tend to use home remedies to cure diseases. The traditional herbs can treat diseases, but only if you know how to make them right.
These herbal medications are still very popular in West Africa. They can be used in the rural communities as they do not have much the access to the modern medicine. The most popular remedy against everything is called Agbo.
One of the Agbo ingredients is the root of specific trees. It’s usually provided in the rural areas of Yoruba tribe. The herbs can be different from one tribe to another. Only the local elders know the whole recipe of how to prepare Agbo Jedi Jedi.
It’s interesting that women who sell Agbo Jedi Jedi on the streets are usually called EleweOmo. Men patronize the sellers of Agbo as they strongly believe that it makes them strong and healthy.
You will need to cook everything together and boil for some time. After that, just give it a time to cool down. After a few days, you can have this mixture to treat the illnesses. According to some recipes, it’s also necessary to add some alcohol. It will help you to reduce the symptoms of your illnesses.
Herbal doctors in Africa prefer to use natural remedies to common ailments. If the form is still present, then other medications can be prescribed.
According to the recipes of Agbo Jedi Jedi, it can be used as a drink, but it can also be used in your bath. It all depends on the type of the ailment. Most of the people prefer to drink Agbo as it provides healing properties.
All people who drink Agbo as a remedy knows the bitter taste of it. Nevertheless, you shouldn’t mix Agbo with other medications as it can lead to not welcome results.
You will need to be careful with the dosage of this remedy. Some of Agbo drinks contain alcohol and not recommended for children. You can also check medical plants in Nigeria to stay aware! | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12277 | {

Not so long ago, it was almost guaranteed that you would die of an infectious disease. In fact, had you been born just 150 years ago, your chances of dying of an infectious disease before you've reached the tender age of 5 would have been extremely high.
Since then, science has come a long way in understanding infectious diseases - what they are, how they spread, and how they can be prevented. But diseases like HIV/AIDS, Malaria, Tuberculosis, or the flu are still major killers worldwide, and novel emerging diseases are a constant threat to public health. In addition, the bugs are evolving. Antibiotics, our most potent weapon against bacterial infections, are losing their power because the bacteria are becoming resistant. In this course, we'll explore the major themes of infectious diseases dynamics.
After we’ve covered the basics, we'll be looking at the dynamics of the flu, and why we're worried about flu pandemics. We'll be looking at the dynamics of childhood diseases such as measles and whooping cough, which were once considered almost eradicated, but are now making a comeback. We'll explore Malaria, and use it as a case study of the evolution of drug resistance. We'll even be looking at social networks - how diseases can spread from you to your friends to your friends' friends, and so on. And of course we’ll be talking about vaccination too. We’ll also be talking about how mobile phones, social media and crowdsourcing are revolutionizing disease surveillance, giving rise to a new field of digital epidemiology. And yes, we will be talking about Zombies - not human zombies, but zombie ants whose brains are hijacked by an infectious fungus.
We're looking forward to having you join us for an exciting course! | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12278 | {

If you are struggling with your mental health I am sure you’ve been told or read that you should practice gratitude. Usually it’s recommended that you sit down at the end of each day and list what you are grateful for. This is a good idea but might not work for everyone; this approach is very cerebral, it’s easy to just go through the motions but not feel anything during the process. That being said it’s still a useful practice as it trains your brain to seek out the positive. If you need something more immediate or tangible I have a possible alternative for you!
As you can see this list can include anything big or small! The idea is that once you identify what makes you feel good you can seek it out and increase those happy endorphins!
I learned about this from an episode or My Favorite Murder, an interesting (and weirdly funny) podcast about crime and murder. What’s interesting about this podcast is that the hosts talk openly about their mental health and therapy. They often share comforting insights and useful coping strategies. If you want to hear more about this approach check out Episode 158, if you want to avoid stories of murder fast forward to 1:32:20.

Born 1892 in Riga; died Sept. 20, 1918. An active participant in the October Revolution of 1917 and the Civil War. Member of the Communist Party from 1917 on. Born into the family of a fisherman.
During World War I Berg was a machinist on the battleship Sevastopol’. After the February Revolution of 1917 he became one of the organizers and leaders of the Bolshevik organization on the ship, as well as a member of the Central Soviet for the Baltic Fleet in the first and third convocations and a member of the Central Soviet for the Navy as a whole. In July 1917 he was arrested by the Provisional Government. He participated in the storming of the Winter Palace on the night of Oct. 26 (Nov. 8), 1917, commanding a sailors’ detachment. He was a member of the Naval Revolutionary Committee. On assignment by V. I. Lenin he, A. R. Zhelezniakov, and N. A. Khovrin headed a detachment of Baltic sailors sent to aid the insurgent workers and soldiers of Moscow. Subsequently he was staff commissar for a detachment of sailors who fought near Belgorod, Kharkov, and Chuguev. During the summer of 1918 he was a member of the Revolutionary Military Soviet and chief of communications for the Caucasian Red Army and participated in combat against the German-Turkish interventionists and counterrevolutionary troops in Azerbaijan. After the temporary downfall of Soviet power in Baku he was arrested and on Sept. 20, 1918, was shot as one of the 26 Baku Commissars.

According to the Illinois Crash Data supplied by the Illinois Department of Transportation, there were 895 fatal crashes with 991 fatalities in 2013. When compared to 2012 Illinois saw an increase of 35 more fatalities in 2013. The National HIghway Traffic Safety Administration estimated that during 2013, 35,200 people died in traffic accidents. In addition to these 2013 fatalities, there were about 3.8 million crash injuries requiring medical treatment. Nationally that would reflect a decrease over traffic statistics from 2012 but in Illinois, unfortunately, the trend for 2013 was on the rise.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that there was a 3.3% increase in 2012 vehicle crash fatalities over 2011 and during this same period of time nationally there was a 3.7 % increase in the number of people killed in crashes involving large trucks. Of those involved in large truck crashes, 74% of the deaths involved tractor-trailer trucks versus a single-unit truck. According to the International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion, trucks account for 8% of US highway traffic but they are involved in 11% of fatal road crashes.
In an effort to provide some clarification of responsible parties, Federal Law states that any company owning a trucking permit is responsible for all accidents involving a truck displaying its name or placard.
Fatigue - Truck driver fatigue can play a major role in crash. Fatigue can be a result of long hours on the road, lack of sleep, poor sleep or a number of other psychological or physiological factors.
Hours on the road - Even though hours on the road are federally regulated, violations in hours and breaks still occur.
Driving too fast for conditions - drivers often don't adjust their speed to allow for reduced visibility, poor road conditions, slick surfaces or other weather related conditions that require slower speeds.
Truck braking capabilities - Loaded tractor-trailers can take 20-40 percent farther than cars to stop. This distance increases if road conditions are poor or brakes have been poorly maintained.
Improper vehicle maintenance - worn tires, faulty brakes, etc.
Speed - Speeds above 45 mph double the risk of a fatal crash.
Deadlines - Many companies promote themselves for "on time" deliveries or "speedy" deliveries. Drivers are encouraged to make these delivery deadlines. Rushing to make a deadline does not allow for weather reduced speeds or thorough pre and post trip vehicle inspections. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12290 | {

Cao Đài (Caodaism) is a relatively modern syncretistic, monotheistic religion, officially established in the city of Tây Ninh, southern Vietnam in 1926. Cao Đài was established in the Vietnamese city of Tây Ninh in 1926. During the First and Second Indochina Wars, members of Cao Đài (along with several other Vietnamese sects) were active in political and military struggles, both against French colonial forces and Prime Minister Ngô Đình Diệm of South Vietnam. Their opposition to the communist forces until 1975 was a factor in their repression after the fall of Saigon in 1975, when the incoming communist government proscribed the practice of Cao Đài. In 1997, the Cao Đài was granted legal recognition.
Temple was constructed between 1933 and 1955, the Great Temple of Cao Dai closely resembles a Christian cathedral in its architecture - two square towers, a long central nave with upper gallery, and side aisles. The altar, an apse and ambulatory are at the opposite end from the entrance, just as in a typical church.
The exterior and interior of the Cao Dai Temple are both extravagantly decorated, incorporating symbols, abstract designs and images of saints. The high ceiling is painted sky-blue with fluffy clouds and the floor tiles have busy patterns. Thedragon-encrusted columns that run the length of the nave number 28, representing the 28 manifestations of the Buddha. Seven-headed cobras represent the seven human emotions.
The most important symbol is theDivine Eye, representing God, which also appears in followers' homes. It is aleft eye, because God is Yang, and Yang is the left side. It has a ying-yang symbol inthe pupil.
Open time:from dawn to dus. There are four ceremonies with chanting each day:6:00, 12:00, 18:00 pm and midnight. An orchestra of 10 musicians and a choir of 20 youths lead the service in prayer and hymns. The hymns sound western, but the accompanying music is traditional Vietnamese. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12293 | {

Markets continue to play a major role in the lives and livelihoods of the population of Gaza - before, during and after times of acute crisis and conflict.
Years of blockades and the depletion of natural resources have severely impacted prospects for economic development of the Gaza Strip. As of 2012, more than one million people in Gaza were living below the poverty line. This report presents the results of an early PCMMA of the wheat flour market system, which is very important in the local economy and local diets. The study considers the likely impact of two hypothetical but possible scenarios on the wheat flour market system. Because of low purchasing power and high food prices, poor households in Gaza are heavily reliant on aid agencies to supply most of their wheat flour needs. This report suggests two additional critical issues that need to be considered: price adaptations in case of increases in private demand and the purchasing power of the food aid beneficiaries. It recommends providing cash and/or vouchers for wheat flour to increase household purchasing power and creating strategic grain reserves in Gaza to control wheat flour prices.
Since the attacks of 2009 until 2012, unemployment in the Gaza Strip remains very high, and average wage levels remain low. Vulnerable households with low incomes and limited or no employment will continue to require support to meet their basic food and non-food needs. The study used a livelihoods perspective and looked at the broiler chicken market as an income market. It also looked at the impacts of the previous two wars to analyse what the impacts of a future similar crisis could be. In this sense, this study was really more of an early PCMMA than an EMMA. This report recommends supporting existing small-scale broiler producers; providing inputs to small-scale producers who experienced losses as a result of wars and who have the potential for sustainability to restart their production; the facilitation of follow-up trainings in poultry production management; advocacy with the Ministry of Agriculture to improve/provide positive support and registration for small-scale producers; advocacy to relevant ministries to provide compensation for losses resulting from conflicts and/or epidemics; facilitating access to credit providers for small-scale producers to prevent them remaining dependent on middlemen for financial services; and conducting further analysis on the chicken feed, gas and credit markets. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12295 | {

Webservice references represent web services which can be integrated into a flow in a number of ways. To add a web service within the portal, navigate to the folder System > Integrations > External Services, select Add WebService Reference button, and supply the necessary details. Navigate to this document to learn about how to view the WSDL description for a service.
To call a web service method as part of a flow, in the Flow Designer , locate the appropriate component underIntegration > External WebServices > [WebService Reference Name], and place it in a flow in the workspace.
This example will engage one of the platform's native web services (Account Services) as though it were an external web service.
Begin by defining Account Services as an external web service. In the portal, navigate to the folder System > Integration > External Services and select Add WebService Reference.
In the resulting Add ExternalWebServicesReference dialog, define the settings for our web service reference, beginning with the Name - "AccountServiceWSDL"
Next, define the URL for the webservice, this is the link found in the WSDL Description.
Because the Acccount Service web service is defined by WSDL, select the checkbox for Specify WSDL. WSDL-defined web services are able to describe the methods that users can use. See the benefit of this ability while designing a flow.
For now, note that selecting Specify WSDL raises two new fields - WSDL > SourceType and WSDL > From URL - which are automatically defaulted to industry-standard values. Other web service configurations may differ, so be sure to consult the appropriate API references before adding new references.
This completes the external web service reference configuration. Select Save Service Reference to save the changes.
The reference Account Service is now ready for integration with a flow.
Begin building a flow in a Designer Folder. Create a new flow named External Web Services Flow and open it for editing. This opens the example flow in the Flow Designer .
In the Steps panel, expand the category Integration > External WebServices > Account Services. Using the reference created earlier, the platform has contacted the Account Services web service and retrieved a list of available methods. Each method is represented as a step which can be used in a flow. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12296 | {

A healthy diet is important for a well-functioning body. However, it isn’t as restrictive or as confusing as people imagine. Food is the source of energy that we consume to provide nutritional support and has a direct impact on our cognitive performance in every stage of life.
Your food choices each day affect your overall health and well-being. It has a significant impact on your mood and mental health. Hence, the type and amount of food you consume has a major impact on your body.
However, eating a healthy, balanced diet doesn’t mean surviving solely on carrot juice, rabbit food and bird seed. All you have to do is really simple. Eat from a wide variety of food groups in the right quantities to maintain the energy and nutrients a healthy adult needs. There are several key elements involved when it comes to eating healthy, which includes moderation, variety and balance. The basic rule of thumb is that a person should try to balance different nutrients and food, such as protein, vegetables, dairy products and grains while minimizing alcohol, processed food and saturated fats.
Consuming a variety of food from each food group helps a person get all the important nutrients. Healthy eating helps to prevent conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and even cancer. Proteins help in repairing body tissues while carbohydrates provide the body with energy. Therefore, making healthy eating a habit will go a long way in ensuring unlimited longevity and vitality of an individual. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12303 | {

The government plans to open a labour bank in hopes of channelling the flow of remittance to development work and help reduce the rate of forced labour migration in the future.
According to Rudra Raj Kafle, executive director of the Foreign Employment Promotion Board, the bank will provide loans to migrant labourers at a low interest rate with their jobs as collateral. The financial institution will also lend capital and provide skill training to labourers’ families so that they can start a small business here.
This, the government believes, will not only manage the remittance cycle—by discouraging the hundi system, by lowering the cost of money transfer and by investing the remittance in national projects—it will also reduce social costs.
“If both the labour migrant and his/her family are able to take loans and manage their incomes through a reliable institution, the unnecessary tension between family members will be reduced and the family will remain intact,” says Kafle.
According to Nepal Rastra Bank, the country received Rs 444 billion in remittance in 10 months of the fiscal year 2013-14. Surveys, however, show that the money flowing into the country through the banking channel is only a fraction of the whole that comes also via other channels such as hundi and by person.
“A formal, professional channel like a labour bank will help reduce illegal and risky migration and the number of cases in which the employment agencies cheat migrants,” says Kafle.
The government plans to use the bank also as a welfare fund with a number of schemes to choose from. A number of banking institutions and non-profit organisations are already providing such services, but none at a massive, national scale.
The ultimate goal, however, is not just to make it easier and safer for labourers to migrate, but to give them an opportunity to invest in education and economic opportunities in their home country so that the next generation will not be forced to migrate for survival.
To that end, the labour bank will not be exclusive to labour migrants.
“The bank will provide loans to domestic labourers as well, both formal and informal. We want the bank to double as a provident fund for labourers in the country too,” says Ramesh Koirala, economic advisor to the Ministry of Labour and Employment. According to Koirala, the ministry plans to open the bank by the end of the fiscal year 2014/15. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12306 | {

The Large Hadron Collider is considered as a photon-photon collider with the photons produced in ultraperipheral collisions of protons or heavy ions. The equivalent photon approximation is applied to derive analytical formulae for the fiducial cross sections of reactions pp(γγ) → pp μ+μ- and Pb Pb (γγ) → Pb Pb μ+μ-. The results are compared to the measurements reported by the ATLAS collaboration. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12308 | {

Scientists have caught a female python in the U.S. state of Florida that was more than 17-feet-long, weighed 140 pounds and contained 73 developing eggs, the media reported. Moreover, not only does the team remove the invasive snakes but they also collect data to develop to learn how the snakes are using the preserve and develop new removal tools.
According to CNN, the Burmese python, native to Southeast Asia, started appearing in the Florida Everglades - a hot, humid habitat ideal for the foreign species - in the 1980s. More snakes likely entered the area after Hurricane Andrew hit a python breeding facility in 1992.
To control their population, Florida holds competitions that encourages hunters to remove as many of them as possible.
In this instance, it led the hunters to a record-breaking snake. The searchers, however, managed to find only 68 snakes. Not only did her size break records, she also had a record number of eggs. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12309 | {

You may have heard about gum disease, also known as "periodontitis" or "periodontal disease." Maybe a dental professional or hygienist recently told you that you have this infection.
But do you really know the difference between periodontal disease and other types of complications that can affect your mouth, such as gingivitis?
Do you know why it's so important to treat periodontal disease-and why brushing and flossing alone won't do the trick?
Most importantly, did you know that periodontal disease is today's #1 cause of tooth loss among American adults? Or that, although a causal relationship between periodontal disease and an elevated risk for systemic events has not been established,recent data suggest a possible association between periodontal disease and other health issues including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and preterm low birth-weight babies?
ARESTIN® (minocycline hydrochloride) Microspheres, 1 mg is an effective antibiotic treatment that comes in powder form. This powder is placed inside infected periodontal pockets after scaling and root planing (SRP). | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12321 | {

Have you ever wondered why adolescence end up with patellar tendon injuries? Achilles tendon injuries? Hamstring tendon injuries? Why does jumping and/or sprinting hurt some young athlete’s knees so much?
According to research, the muscle development in young athletic groups occurs at a faster rate than tendon development. Muscle strength can increase simply by increasing neural activity, whereas structural properties need to change for a tendon to get strong… and this takes time. This “mismatch” of strength can, therefore, lead to tendon strain overload, and potentially to injury.
If you have a young athlete that has tendon pain, check out this article and blog posted on Tendinopathy Rehabilitation. Three clinical suggestions are posted here to help athletes adapt and work with this mismatch of muscle to tendon strength as they grow.
If your young athlete is having tendon pain, please have them visit Head Athletic Therapist, Brady Greening, in the Edge School Sport Therapy clinic. She will be able to assess if their pain is indeed tendon pain and help them to adapt their training to this mismatch of strength. Specific exercises will be prescribed to rehabilitate injured tendons, as well as soft tissue therapy to help decrease pain and imbalances within the muscle group. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12322 | {

You may also need bone grafting if the sinus cavities in your upper jaw are very large, or very low, and extend into the tooth-bearing areas. This often occurs when teeth in the back of a person’s upper jaw have been removed many years before, and the amount of bone available for implant placement is limited. A “sinus grafting procedure” is then required. Most often, it is performed in the office with local anesthesia or sedation. During this procedure, the membrane that lines the sinus will be located and elevated. Bone will then be added to restore the bone height and ensure that dental implants of an adequate length can be placed. This procedure often can be performed at the time of implant placement. | gair-prox/c4-pro/00000/12327 | {
