In the history of cultural exchanges between China and the West, silk played an initial and extremely important role. It was through the colorful silk that Westerners came to know China, an ancient civilization in the East. Since Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions in 119 BC, a large amount of Chinese silk has spread to the countries in the Western Regions through the Silk Road. Academia generally believes that there are two main Silk Roads, one is the “Land Silk Road” from Chang’an to Rome (in a narrow sense, the Overland Silk Road is the Desert Oasis Silk Road, and in a broad sense it also includes the Prairie Silk Road, the Southwest Silk Road, The East Asian Silk Road), and the other is the “Maritime Silk Road” from the coast of China to southeastern Africa. These two Silk Roads have connected various countries along the route for a long time, and have carried out frequent economic and cultural exchanges with each other, enriching the material and cultural life of various countries, and promoting social development. Silk is the Silk Road. The key reasons for getting up and running and growing.
Fragments of Chinese silk fabrics unearthed from a Yangshao cultural site in Qingtai Village
Silkworm rearing and reeling originated in China
China is the first country in the world to invent sericulture and reeling. In 1984, the earliest objects of Chinese silk fabrics were unearthed at a Yangshao cultural site in Qingtai Village, Xingyang County, Henan Province—a few plain weave and light purple silk with sparse organization. Zhiluo, these silk fabric fragments can be traced back to 5500 years ago. Similar sites are not uncommon in China. For example, the Yangshao Cultural Site of Xiyin Village in Shanxi Province and the Qianshanyang Site of Wuxing County, Zhejiang Province have unearthed silk fabrics. It can be seen that silk has been widely used as a fabric material at that time, marking the primitive inhabitants of China during the Neolithic Yangshao Culture period. It has already started to raise silkworms. In the Shang Dynasty, silk reeling technology was quite mature. In the Zhou Dynasty, there were special silkworms for raising silkworms. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were already jacquard looms. China’s sericulture and reeling technology has long been a world leader, making great contributions to the development of the world’s sericulture industry.

”Serial farming and mulberry farming” and “women’s weaving” have always been the characteristics of traditional Chinese agriculture. The silk industry is the pillar industry of the traditional society. During the Tang Tianbao period, the amount of silk accepted by the imperial court accounted for about one-third of the country’s total tax revenue. The emergence of a new type of independent silk weaving workshop – “machine households” is a sign of the prosperity of the silk weaving industry in the Song Dynasty. After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the silk industry in the south developed rapidly, and the Taihu Lake basin has become the main commercial silk producing area in the country. In the late Ming Dynasty, the so-called “budding capitalism” represented by the silk weaving industry even appeared in the south of the Yangtze River. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty stated in the preface to the “Silkworm Fu”: “The supply of silk threads in the world is all in the southeast, and the prosperity of sericulture is only in this area.” I want to give it, but silk is my responsibility.” Historically, silk (raw silk) has always been the bulk of China’s exports, until 1718, when tea surpassed raw silk and ranked first in terms of export value.
Before the mid-19th century, China’s raw silk exports to Europe accounted for more than 70% of the raw silk imports in the entire Western market for a long time. Ming Wang Shimao said in “Min Bu Shu”: “The silk of Fuzhou, the silk of Zhang… The ones who sailed to the sea are especially incalculable, and they are all clothed and covered by the world.” However, at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, China The dominant position in silk production was replaced by Japan. After the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government attached great importance to the development of the silk weaving industry, and made the Japanese economy prosperous by opening up the foreign raw silk market. Japan has rapidly transformed from a backward traditional country to a modern capitalist country. Japanese raw silk accounts for 70% of the western silk market. The silk industry is known as the “meritorious industry” of Japan’s economic take-off.
Today, silk is produced in about 40 countries and regions in the world, the most important being China, India, Uzbekistan, Brazil and Thailand. China remains the largest silk producer in the world, with its annual output accounting for more than 70% of the world’s total.

The most sought-after silk in the West
In ancient Greece and Rome, Westerners knew about China’s silk. They called silkworms “Ser”, so they called China “Seres” (Silk Country). silk. In modern times, the German geographer Richthofen also named the “Silk Road” accordingly.
The Mediterranean area was the first area in the Western world that came into contact with Chinese silk. The first real encounter between the Romans and Chinese silk dates back to BC, and silk was gradually spread to the west through the hands of the Parthians, Huns and other middlemen. A familiar story is that of the gorgeous fabric owned by Julius Julius Caesar—the appearance of silk shook the Roman aristocracy. There are several versions of the story. The protagonist is Julius Caesar. The well-informed Roman aristocrats have praised the softness and gorgeousness of silk, which shows the rarity of silk. The Romans dressed in linen and wool never imagined that there was such a gorgeous fabric as silk, and all treasures were eclipsed by silk.
Under the temptation of silk, a series of butterfly effects were set off, and a large number of silk merchants came one after another, achieving a prosperous situation of “businessmen and merchants, Japanese money under the plug”. This one-way journey takes nearly a year. Routes can’t stop businessmen either.
The silk craze in the West is the most prosperous in Rome, and the speed of spread is also amazing. Not only the Roman ladies, but also Roman men also pursue silk. Perhaps because of the extravagance that silk brought, or because it was suspected of sensuality, the Roman senate thought that silk had ruined their reputation. In AD 14, the senate decreed that men were forbidden to wear silk, and women’s use of silk was also restricted. But it was the heyday of Rome, which was especially extravagant, and the whole society was shrouded in the ethos of spending money and pursuing fashion. Silk was repeatedly banned, and the style of wearing silk permeated all classes, even porters and errands also wore silk. During the reign of Emperor Aurelian, a pound of silk could be sold for 12 ounces of gold in Rome.
In 395, the Roman Empire was divided, and the Roman writer and administrator Pliny and some other historians believed that the outflow of gold weakened the economy, leading to the final collapse of the Roman Empire. The Eastern Roman Empire’s love for silk was even greater than before, and even broke out the “Silk War” of the Eastern Roman Empire in order to break Persia’s monopoly on silk and hope to have a direct dialogue with China. During the reign of Justinian, the relationship between the Eastern Roman Empire and Persia was tense, the price of silk in the territory soared, and the people complained. The Roman government was compelled to adopt the method of government price limit, stipulating that “the price of silk per pound is strictly prohibited to be higher than 8 gold sous (each gold sous contains 4.13 grams of gold), and all the property of the offenders will be confiscated and confiscated”.

Just as StudioCanal is scaling back its European film production and distribution operations, TF1 seems to be intent on increasing its activity and filling the void.
After boldly branching out into distribution through its as yet unamed joint venture with Miramax - which is expected to be headed by Jose Covo - the broadcaster is understood to be seeking to step up its involvement in film production, co-production and co-financing.
This activity will be separate from the TF1/Miramax venture, and it is likely to be headed by UGC International's Patrick Binet.
The production operation sounds very similar in ambition to StudioCanal. It would already have a strong production partner in France in Charles Gassot's Telema , the producer of Tanguy, which TF1, ironically poached from Le StudioCanal.
It would also benefit from a dynamic foreign sales partner in TF1 International, have an associated French distribution outlet as well as a potential US production and distribution partner in Miramax.

RBI's new member of the Management Board – Andrii Stepanenko
In its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of RBI decided that Andrii Stepanenko will take over the Management Board member position in charge of Retail Banking.
In its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of Raiffeisen Bank International AG (RBI) decided that Andrii Stepanenko will take over the Management Board member position in charge of Retail Banking. Stepanenko will succeed Klemens Breuer, who left the bank at the end of October. Stepanenko was born on 28 April 1972 and until now was Deputy Chairman of the Management Board and in charge of Retail Banking at Raiffeisenbank in Russia. His appointment is still subject to the approval of the supervisory authorities.
"I am pleased that we can strengthen RBI's management team with such an outstanding leader," said Erwin Hameseder, Chairman of RBI's Supervisory Board. "Andrii Stepanenko impressively demonstrated his expertise and leadership during his many years of service to the RBI Group," added RBI-CEO Johann Strobl.
Stepanenko, who holds a doctorate degree in Finance, began his career with the RBI Group in 1998 as Head of Corporate Credit Analysis at Raiffeisenbank Ukraine. From 2000 to 2003, he held a leading role for risk management development at the RZB Group in Vienna. Between 2007 and 2008, he held the Chief Risk Officer function at Raiffeisenbank in Russia and has held his current position since 2008.
"I am very pleased about the new responsibility. RBI is one of the leading retail banks in CEE. I would like to expand this position in the coming years and put a particular emphasis on the field of digitization," said Stepanenko.
RBI's Supervisory Board will decide on the replacement of the Board Member for the Markets division in the coming weeks.

If you are ready to manage less and lead more, spend more time doing the work you want to be doing, and less time worrying about how to get your team to do what you need, then it is time to start coaching them on their motivation, instead of focusing on performance management. And I’m here to help. I’ve created a guide to help you understand what is holding your team back. Click below to grab your free ‘Coaching Motivation’ Guide.
Movitating your team is one of the hardest things we do as leaders…
But when we do it, and do it well, we do better, our team does better, and our outcomes improve.
Once we understand what motivation really is, it becomes clear why the traditional ‘carrot and stick’ approach fails when it comes to getting people to work. Money is one small component of motivation. Multiple studies have shown that the link between salary and job satisfaction is extraordinarily weak. So money is not the answer. Similarly, traditional performance management rarely works.
As soon as you start a discussion on managing poor performance you are eroding the belief piece that is a necessary component of motivation. So despite years of usage in business, the carrot-and-stick approach is just about the worst thing that can happen.
What can we do instead?
It is worth going back to first principles to understand why motivation in the person you are working with has changed.
Organise a one-on-one, open discussion to delve into what is going on.
One or two high-quality discussions will help you turn your worst-performing colleagues into your biggest assets.
Let’s make this simple
I’m doing the legwork for you.
Instead of starting at square one to build motivation in your team, my simple, free guide, steps you through how to coach your team in one-on-one quality conversations.
And voila! You’ll have a team that outperforms the rest of the organization.
Ready to be a stand-out lit-up leader, and spend more time doing what you love instead of managing difficult staff?
That’s my mission.
Let’s do this!

Coming ready or not - New Year resolutions
As the new year has arrived the hype quickens around us all; the implicit and explicit expectations have many people feeling like they ‘should’ be doing something i.e. making resolutions to transform their lives. Many new year resolutions are short lived, and many people don’t stick to what they promised self; much energy will have gone into thinking what one wants to change and how one is going to do it. Yet the promise made to self at this time of year is usually short-lived, usually because of the ‘collective’ hype and expectation and/or cheating on our promise. Based on a belief we will delay starting because we plan to do it tomorrow, next week or beginning of next month but the start date or time never really materialises. I know this is one I’ve used in the past at this time of year.
Just the thought of thinking about change or making goals can have some people’s anxieties heightening and making what they suffer with on a daily basis even more fearsome as the country and town one lives in has changed beyond recognition and the people around us have changed their behaviours to ‘fit’ in with the joys of the season! Only to return even flatter than before the celebrations arrived.
For many people with common mental health issues for example depression, anxiety, panic attack or OCD, routine and sameness is vital to how they cope on a daily basis, change can be disorientating if one is not ready for it and if you are suffering there is no ‘ready for change’. Change is a process one has to work towards; change takes thought, effort and action much practicing, many defeats and small steps before any real change is achieved.
Change doesn't happened automatically because a new year is upon us. When any of us are feeling under pressure or stressed from what our daily lives offer this can and does often result in what Cognitive Behavioural Therapy call 'cognitive distortions' or thinking errors!
Thinking is the way we process what our senses pick up as we go about our daily living; thinking is both conscious and unconscious - it goes on all the time whether we are aware of its processing or not.
What we receive can be processed inaccurately which leads to all sorts of emotional and mental problems for us, thinking errors can be short lived as we return to our base-line habit when under pressure or long-term problems can be experienced as negative habits become our normal way of reacting and responding to life.
We can have errors in thinking such as personalising for example what someone said may be seen as a dig at us, a mother under pressure, cooking, cleaning and getting everything ready for the ‘big party’ can be short-tempered when in the middle of something but which may not be personal at all or seeing someone’s offhand tone or aggressive manner as a result of something we believe we did when the tone and behaviour belongs to the person expressing and has nothing to do with us at all.
These sort of thinking errors can quickly escalate into negative predictions which overestimate the outcome and mind reading can have us thinking what another will say or do next and we can find ourselves overestimating the outcome, which we usually assign to be negative, whether it is or isn’t we have in our mind that whatever happens won’t be positive or for our best interest.
For example, the teenager who believes dad and mum's tone and short-temper was somehow connected to them being around when in actuality mum and dad were just rushed and exacerbated from all their doing. This in turn can turn into all or nothing thinking which the teenager interprets as “I’m always in the way” leaving him or her feeling “no one cares about me”. We can use our feelings to judge a situation when the outside evidence does not offer the outcome of our feelings.
Mum and dad were experiencing feelings and thoughts of their own which probably didn’t even include the teenager at that precise moment! Its not that they don’t care or think the teenager is in the way, they just have so much to do before they can finally sit down and enjoy ‘family time’. Or the mum who worries every time their older child goes out always thinking the worst will happen and they have them dead and buried in their minds. When in actuality this is not the outcome of their child going out with friends since they have returned on numerous occasions safe and sound.
This is confusing to say the least when we are in the middle of such a process, the likely outcome of such thinking can be cognitive conformity such as seeing things the same way of those around us do (as in group conformity) to fit in but we may end up colluding with others which doesn't get any of us anywhere if its negative. Or blaming others for how we feel or think and not take ownership of our self and this can quickly turn into catastrophe. The mother overprotecting her grown up child believing the worst is going to happen, or the husband who thinks his wife is having an affair for merely talking to another male and so on.
These thoughts can have an 'element of truth' in them so are believable, which is the why we believe we are ‘right’ because they may be based on past history, a friend may have hinted jokingly all woman have affairs or someone else's child may have not returned safe and sound or the feeling felt like a similar experience in the past. There are a myriad of causes which carry the effects of cognitive distortions.
Thinking errors can bring on a panic attack, an angry outburst or increase any anxiety, depression or OCD behaviours, as we let our thoughts run away with us as we predicted what will happen.
It is more productive to our overall well-being however to think in the here and now and see our negative thinking as 'a habit' formed from past negative events and thoughts which can with effort be changed.
• Recognised and observe how you process your thoughts – are they positive or negative?
• Monitor your thoughts in the here and now what activates your negativity be honest with yourself - what are your thoughts saying?
• What are the consequences of our thinking in this way? Are they favourable to one and all?
• Look for the evidence of your belief objectively before you act
• Dispute your belief in the here and now... does it really fit with this situation or is it from a past situation?
• Ask yourself is this here and now or was this there and then? If there and then this is an echo of the past and not happening now
• Affirm to self “I can do this” - make your affirmation personal to you
• Focus on the positive even if you can’t see it in these moments
• Tell yourself “I don’t need to act on these thoughts here and now I can ponder for as long as I need until I decide what’s best to do”!
• Learn to tolerate strong and intense feelings – these do and will change since feelings, thoughts and emotions do change they are transient!
If you are making a resolution make it to take care of your needs and to look after yourself more. If you are experiencing habits in thinking which lead you to experience negative consequences because of the way you think and many people suffering with anxiety, depression, OCD, dissociations, phobias and many more mental and emotional problems do, then contact a counsellor who will be able to support you to evaluate and identify distorted cogitations and the underlaying currents and support you to change habits which may have lasted your lifetime but don’t need to affect you in the future!

|Organisaatio||Finnish Field Drainage Center|
|Sivut||324 - 347|
The process of soil freezing and thawing is described. Soil temperature, total soil moisture content and infiltration into a frozen sandy soil were measured at an experimental field station. A new method for solving the combined mass and heat balance equations was developed. The method is based on diving the total energy into latent and sensible fractions so that the functional relationship between unfrozen water content and soil temperature is fulfilled. The model was tested against the results obtained at the experimental station.

Bruce Forsyth's daughter is bringing a new market selling crafts, jewellery, homeware, cakes, antiques, arts and crafts to Acton.
The Acton Street Boutique Market, organised by Laura Forsyth in conjunction with Ealing Council, is a community event taking place on Sunday July 19 outside St Mary's Church, The Mount.
Money for hiring a stall will go to Housing For Women, a charity which supports domestic violence in women and children.
St Mary's, who is celebrating their 150th birthday, will be turned into a café for the event and proceeds will go to the homeless charity Standing Tall.
Ms Forsyth, who lives in Acton Central and owns The Village Trading Store in Churchfield Road said: "There's no market there on a Sunday, we wanted to try and bring new businesses and local entrepreneurs.
"I went to Ealing Council and asked for their support and they were quite excited about it.
"The idea is to make it a regular thing.
"At the moment the space is empty on Sundays."
The market will run from 11am- 5pm.
To hire a stall contact email@example.com.

For the longest time there’s only one McQueen who was known to have an insatiable appetite for speed. Today, we found another – a living, breathing McQueen who apparently shares the same craving for speed and like Steve McQueen, we think he’s going to be very famous too because of his “Insanity.” Nope. Ryan McQueen is not losing it because of speed, although some would argue he might gone completely bonkers because the Canadian petrolhead spent 12 years and 90,000 Canadian money (around US$70,000) to build a Ferrari Enzo replica powered by a pair of Rolls-Royce jet engines – yep, the same thing that makes an aircraft flies.
Granted, turbine powered cars are not the newest news, but this McQueen from up North’s creation, aptly named “Insanity,” is probably one of the craziest in the recent history of craziest custom cars. The pair of turbine produces a combine of 62,275 Nm (45,932 lb-ft) of torque – that’s a good 14,000 pounds of thrust in aviation speaks, which is more than ample to power a small business jet. However, this mad scientist creation won’t take to the sky, much less roll along the highway cos’ obviously, it isn’t road-legal and we doubt it ever will because, you know, fire-spewing exhausts and other road users aren’t exactly the most compatible.
Having said that, Ryan’s 1,723 kilograms (3,800 lbs) land rocket is destined for tracks or places like the Salt Flat at best, where it can rocket to 650 km/h (404 mph) all it want but of course, not without some serious monetary expenditure cos’ it is a perpetual cotton mouth, reportedly gulping down 400 liters (106 gallons) of aviation fuel in just two minutes. Clearly, not the most economical ride, but hey, it is still rather conservation – if you compare it to the much slower M1 Abrams tank, isn’t it?
Insanity may be a Ferrari Enzo replica, but it only resembles the iconic vehicle’s front section; the rest of the car from mid-section rear-ward, is every bit of a dragster. Apparently, Ryan got hooked with the idea of a jet-powered car after a visit to a jet car race and decided to build his own. He got down to realize his dream, first by trading in his Chevrolet Corvette for cash, which he used to pick up the jet engines from an auction. In the span of 12 years, Ryan spent two years to create the body and another five to develop the underlying frame.

Oakland did it. Lengthy seaside entrance and quite a few different California metropolitan areas have been contemplating their prospects in levying a major tax on well being marijuana.
Within the floor of huge funds woes of their nation of California, is it okay to amass permissive concerning the legality of bud? Afterall, tens of hundreds of thousands-if maybe not millions-of bucks in sensed income are at stake.
However, very like a medicine, can be marijuana taxation itself a fast”repair” at a while of demand?

Lengthy seaside entrance could observe match. Nevertheless, in what better price ticket?
It’s attention-grabbing that bud has been pushed as an answer to fiscal points when from the very lengthy interval it could possibly price the precise cities tens of hundreds of tens of hundreds of dollars extra to deal with the unintended however unavoidable penalties of drug dependence BUY CBD OIL.
Pot legalization may be actually a controversial matter, acknowledged, however tries to legitimize it by way of quasi-legal pot dispensaries and join it along with medical functions may be only a testomony to the ability with this treatment.

could use any excuse that they’ll to maintain on utilizing it, even for instance decreasing the indisputable fact it’s addictive, and even pushing the considered its perceived well being advantages.
In reality, smoking marijuana solely 5 days every week can introduce the smoker into as a lot carcinogenic supplies as smoking a pack of cigarettes per day, and youths within the US are presently coming into treatment rehab for marijuana habit every other drug.
Whereas 300,000 per 12 months in taxation income might appear to be easy money, Republicans ought to overlook that the tons of of tens of millions of dollars per 12 months that signify the considerably larger fees of treatment dependence.

Virtually all electric bikes now use radial flux brushless DC motors (BLDC). These motors however, vary considerably in audible noise level. Many (particularly geared hub motors) produce quite a noticeable hum, particularly under load, accelerating or when climbing a hill. The hum is gear clash that stems from the high frequency electrical pulsing that all hubmotors generate in the process of controlling motor power and speed.
The power controller, or “controller” for short, is the interface between the throttle, battery and motor. It is the device that generates and controls this high frequency pulsing (switching). Most e-bike power controllers employ a “square-wave” pulse (a series of on-off-on electrical bursts). The abrupt switching that is an inherent part of such controllers, results in considerable noise.
We use a controller having a “softened” waveform, which virtually eliminates motor noise. Such “sinusoidal wave” controllers are more expensive, but we feel the quiet is worth the price.

Johnson said the UK will not pay to access the single market and reiterated the Vote Leave campaign promise to spend £350 million extra a week on the National Health Service.
“Once we have settled our accounts, we will take back control of roughly £350 million per week," said Johnson.
"It would be a fine thing as many of us have pointed out if a lot of that money went on the NHS, provided we use that cash injection to modernise and make the most of new technology."
He also said the UK should borrow money to spend on boosting infrastructure in London and that doubters will see the UK "succeed mightily" in Brexit.
"They think that we will simply despair of finding the way out of the EU and sit down on the floor and cry – like some toddler lost in the maze at Hampton Court. Well, in so far as they doubt our resolve, I believe they are wrong; and I am here to tell you that this country will succeed in our new national enterprise, and will succeed mightily," wrote Johnson.
The Telegraph summarised Johnson's article as a 10-point-plan for a "successful Brexit," with one of the points being "Brexit will be a success."
Other policy proposals include curbing non-UK citizens' property ownership and a push to accelerate work on gene therapy.
The article has been seen as a challenge to Theresa May, who is expected to lay out her plans for a "status quo" transitional deal in a speech to to the world's media next week.
The prime minister will use a keynote speech in Florence, Italy, next Friday to suggest the sort of transitional period that Chancellor Philip Hammond has described a "status quo" arrangement, the Financial Times reports.
The term "status quo" describes a scenario where Britain would continue with many aspects of EU membership during a period lasting up to three years commencing after Brexit day in March 2019. This could include staying both in the single market and customs union until a long-term arrangement post-Brexit is ready to be implemented.

Dr. Keith Cobb clearly remembers the nauseating feeling at 7 years old when he heard his 25-year-old uncle had died.
He remembers the sound of his grandmother sobbing in her bedroom over the following years and his grandfather's assurances that she'll be alright "after a good cry."
For Cobb, those and other experiences sparked a lifetime interest in the process of grieving.
"The loss of a child or spouse is unimaginable, and the depth of the stress (the grieving) are going through is often underestimated by us as acquaintances," he said.
In his recently published book, "The Grief Survival Handbook: A Guide from Heartache to Healing," Cobb shares stories of those who live through some of the greatest heartbreaks imaginable.
The Richmond Hill physician completed the book after finding too few resources he could offer his patients struggling with the loss of a loved one.
The paperback book is short, anecdotal and conversational and includes basic medical information about depression and the steps of grief.
Cobb said he's following new attention in the medical community on the physical effects of grief. Medical organizations have provided more literature in recent years offering treatment advice to primary care physicians.
"With any kind of stress we have, it affects us physically," said the Glennville native.
Many of the stories are from Cobb's own patients, the people he says have taught him the most about grief.
They share experiences of surviving the death of spouses, children and parents. Other sections address the grief of miscarriage and the grief responses of children.
"Survive" is a key word, says local bereavement counselor Holland Morgan. "Initially survival is what it's all about. It's just getting through one morning, one afternoon and one day," he said.
Morgan works at Full Circle, a grief support center run by Hospice Savannah.
He has not read Cobb's book, but said that brief anecdotes and short, simple literature can be a good way of connecting with the grieving.
"He was probably wise in constructing it that way, since often times, for the people who are in the throes of grief, they're concentration is so limited that it's very difficult to get into to something that is that long," Morgan said.
Among the most difficult losses is that of a child. Cobb shares the stories of both sets of his grandparents, those who lost their 25-year-old son and the other who lost a toddler.
When she was 24, his paternal grandmother charged into a burning building to rescue her 2-year-old son who she found burned and crying.
An aunt recalled the sight and smell of her mother emerging from the burning building carrying the baby in her arms.
Mother and son were taken to a hospital where the boy died of smoke inhalation.
"Howell's funeral was held the day before Christmas Eve in 1924. My grandmother had already bought presents for her three children, including Howell. She later quietly opened his presents and placed them in a trunk, never to be played with by her son."
When his own daughter was 2 years old, Cobb was compelled to ask his grandmother how she overcame such a devastating loss decades earlier.
"I never have," was her response.
Others gave Cobb similar responses.
"People do it, they continue on. Life goes on and they somehow pick up the pieces and they bring themselves through this," he said. "Again and again, I've heard patients say, 'I don't get over it. I get through it."

ROCHESTER, Minn. – Authorities say they’ve recovered a stolen Jeep and arrested the man accused of stealing it a second time.
Mark Harman, 31 of Rochester, was arrested for stealing the Jeep after it was left running outside the McDonald’s on 2nd Street SW on December 28, 2018. The vehicle was not found at the time.
The Olmsted County Sheriff’s Office says a deputy spotted a Jeep at a stop sign on January 2 and pulled it over because the passenger was not wearing a seat belt. An investigation determined it was the stolen vehicle.
The driver, Madison Slocum, 28 of St. Charles, was arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle. While being searched at the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center, officers say they found a syringe of liquid methamphetamine in Slocum’s bra, so she’s also charged with 5th degree drug possession.
Harman, who was released from jail on Monday, is now accused of stealing another vehicle on Wednesday.
A woman says she was warning her Ford Escape in her driveway in the 1300 block of 7th Avenue SW in Rochester when she looked out the window and saw it driving away. A Rochester police officer spotted the vehicle driving around the parking lot of the Menards on Prairie Vista Drive NW. The officer says Harman was driving it.
Police say Harman escaped authorities then but was later arrested at his apartment with the keys to the stolen Ford Escape in his pocket. This time officers also found the vehicle. Police say they think Harman stole a license plate from a similar vehicle and put it on the stolen Escape.

Sciatica Pain Treatment Maple Grove, MN. Do not accept the limitations and discomfort that come with sciatica. When you begin to feel sharp pain or tingling and numbness down your lower back through your leg, seek sciatica pain treatment right away. Dr. Brent Tieri and the Total Spine Health and Injury Center team in Maple Grove offer safe and effective chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, and other treatment methods that can successfully address the underlying cause of your sciatica and correct your muscles and joints to give you long-term relief from sciatic nerve pain.
Schedule an evaluation today and learn what to expect at your first appointment when you see our Maple Grove, MN chiropractor for sciatica pain treatment or speak to one of our helpful associates about your sciatica and the right treatment options for you at 763-568-7869 now.
Sciatica Pain Treatment: What is Sciatica?
Sciatica, as anyone who has experienced it will tell you, is painful. Pain from sciatica radiates along the sciatic nerve, which goes from the lower back through the hips and posterior, down the back of each leg. Typically, a patient with sciatica will experience symptoms only on one side.
Sciatica itself is not a diagnosis, which is where many people get confused. In fact, the term sciatica describes a set of symptoms related to the sciatic nerve that are caused by an underlying medical condition. Those symptoms — which include pain in the lower back, buttock and leg; numbness or weakness in lower back, buttock, leg, or foot; loss of movement; a sensation of "pins and needles" or stabbing — are not to be confused with general low back pain, which does not extend down into the buttock, legs, or feet.
If you are experiencing any level of pain in the sciatic nerve area or any of the additional symptoms we've listed here, reach out to your Maple Grove chiropractor today. Dr. Brent Tieri and the team at Total Spine Health and Injury Center have successfully treated many patients in Maple Grove with complaints of sciatica pain and other back pain, nerve conditions, pain in the extremities, loss of movement, and other similar complaints. Trust us with your sciatica pain treatment and ongoing quality chiropractic care in the Maple Grove area. Begin today at (763) 568-7869.
Most instances of sciatica are caused, in one way or another, by the irritation or inflammation of the sciatic nerve. These cases are nearly always successfully resolved with chiropractic sciatica pain treatment. Other cases, when the sciatica is a result of direct compression of the sciatic nerve, may call for a more invasive treatment such as surgery.
When you see a chiropractor or any other type of doctor in Maple Grove for your sciatica pain treatment, they should first evaluate your overall health and examine your condition. When you see our Maple Grove chiropractor for sciatica pain treatment, we tailor your treatment to your precise needs and goals, taking to account your medical history, lifestyle, and diagnoses. We create a chiropractic sciatica pain treatment plan that is right for you and allows you to reclaim the life you want to live, free from sciatic nerve pain.
Often, patients with conditions such as sciatica pain do not know what caused their pain to begin with. Whether you suffered an acute injury while playing sports or being active or woke up one day with sharp pains down your left leg that you can't explain, our Maple Grove chiropractors have the up-to-date chiropractic knowledge and years of clinical experience you should look for when deciding on the best sciatica pain treatment for you.
Chiropractic Sciatica Pain Treatment
The severity of sciatica pain and its accompanying symptoms can fall anywhere on a vast scale, from mild discomfort to severe and debilitating pain accompanied by serious complications such as loss of control of bladder and bowel. If your symptoms fall on the latter end of the scale, contact your doctor immediately to find out what kind of emergency sciatica pain treatment is appropriate for your needs. For all other sciatica-related symptoms, turn to the personalized approach of Total Spine Health and Injury Center's chiropractors and massage therapists. For safe corrective care that will help return you to optimal movement as quickly as possible, schedule your first chiropractic session for sciatica pain treatment in Maple Grove today.
Except in the most severe cases involving numbness and loss of movement, the recommended course of treatment for sciatica pain is to begin with conservative methods, as they are often successful. There are a number of non-surgical treatment options out there for sciatica pain: hot and cold applications, NSAIDs and other medications, stretches and strengthening exercises, acupuncture...the list goes on. One of the best options for the majority of individuals looking for sciatica pain treatment is chiropractic care.
Are you dubious that a so-called "alternative" medicine like chiropractic could effectively address your sciatica symptoms? Our Maple Grove chiropractors have had immense success treating individuals with sciatica pain and effectively alleviating significant pain in patients with all kinds of conditions. In addition to manual therapies and other treatment strategies, we prioritize a holistic approach to wellness and help you understand how to care for yourself in a way that puts your health and mobility first. We have many patients who came to us for an acute condition but are now biweekly regulars because they benefited so much from chiropractic care.
Why Choose Chiropractic for Sciatica Pain Treatment?
You may see the suggestion of surgery come up in your research for the right sciatica pain treatment. Though there are cases for which surgery may be a practical consideration or only option for sciatica pain treatment (such as in long-term chronic sciatica pain sufferers or those who lose control over muscles and movement), the vast majority of sciatica patients can benefit from chiropractic care and simple home exercises.
Chiropractic for sciatica pain treatment has found to be effective and safe for treating the majority of sciatica cases and the chiropractors at Total Spine Health and Injury Center have treated hundreds of patients in the Maple Grove area, expertly leading them to optimal mobility and comfort. If you are living with unbearable sciatica pain that is preventing you from living your life normally, turn to Total Spine Health and Injury Center and begin your journey to wellness and relief from sciatica pain.
Visiting a chiropractor works as an effective sciatica pain treatment strategy on multiple levels. Manual adjustments to the spine can immediately take the pressure off the sciatic nerve and instantly reduce your pain. Manipulations stimulate blood flow throughout the body and foster a healthy immune system. Regular chiropractic care loosens and retrains the muscles to help protect the proper alignment of your spine and other joints.
Chiropractic and massage therapy treatments actually encourage the body to work to heal itself. With the right combination of spine manipulations and other chiropractic treatment methods such as ultrasound, spinal decompression therapy, and at-home stretches and exercises, you have a great chance of experiencing lasting relief and reclaiming the active and healthy life you want.

I’ve been out to dinner many times as I’m sure many of you have as well. On October 12th we thought we were going out to dinner and ended up having the most amazing dining experience of our lives.
About a month ago our son and daughter-in-law (Garlon and Rupal) sent us a homework assignment. Our task was to come up with a menu of any and everything we’d like to have in a meal, not matter what the cuisine or how many courses. We just had to give them two weeks notice. Having carte blanch was almost overwhelming, because the possibilities were truly endless. At the same time, we didn’t want to go overboard. I guess I should add that we live in Michigan and Garlon and Rupal live in Indiana, which means this was shaping up to be quite a trip. After a couple weeks of deliberation this is the menu we came up with:
Grilled Oysters, Bruschetta,
Roast Pork with Port Jus and Chipotle-Glazed Apples
Easy Fried Rice
Sauvignon Blanc or Gewürztraminer
I was on pins and needles the day of the dinner partly because we had no idea where we were going. When we finally we arrived at Corndance Tavern in Mishawaka, I knew we were in for a treat. The ambience was intimate and cozy, without being stuffy. The hostess ushered us into a private dining room which immediately upped the excitement ante. The table setting was simple but elegant and my mind immediately went to recreating it.
Chad, the manager of Corndance came in to greet us as well as introduce us to our server for the evening, John. At one end of the room there was a flat screen television on the wall. Beneath it was a chalkboard with the day’s menu written on it. On the menu I noticed some familiar items; grilled oysters, and Crème Brulee, hmmmm.
I also overheard Garlon speaking to John and I was sure I heard him say, “My parents will be the only ones having the other menu”. That’s when it all came together; Corndance was preparing the menu we sent in, or at least their version of it. Nick, the chef and owner of Corndance was also the creative guru behind the Habanero Vodka.
This is the meal that was served:
Ham Hock Cupcakes
Sword of John Adams
Kid Chicken Fingers & Fries
Ali Baba Lamb Kebabs
Tallegio Crusted Sea Scallops
Roast Pork w/ Port Jus and Chipotle-Glazed Apples and a side of Easy Fried Rice & Fall Vegetables
Chocolate Molten Cake
Coffee & Doughnuts
Whiskey* Walnut* Gelato
Mango Heat (mixed drink)
Evil Czech – John the One Eye (Beer)
Sun King (Beer)
The food was the freshest I’ve ever tasted and cooked to absolute perfection. Not once did I reach for the salt or pepper because the meat and veggies couldn’t be improved upon. Fried alligator, grilled oysters, and bison bites all in one evening, how cool is that? Never have I had a pork chop that tender or one that was 14 oz. One of the other highlights was our daughter’s meal; Sword of John Adams. The presentation was the most over the top I‘ve seen. Shish Kabob on a sword, everyone’s jaw dropped. In addition to quality service, the meals at Corndance are of the highest quality in part because they use the best ingredients. They raise the bison they serve and of course have a garden to produce the freshest vegetables on the planet. Having your own brewery Evilczech www.evilczechbrewery.com, doesn’t hurt either. Typically restaurants that serve exquisite meals skimp on the portions. Not Corndance.
Originally the meal was slated to be served in the wine cellar. Due to the size of our party however the location had to be changed. We did get a chance to check it out and ask a few questions. If you’re in ever in the area of Mishawaka or Culver Indiana you should check out Corndance, you will not be disappointed.
Thank you Garlon and Rupal for your generosity and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Characteristics Of Konjac Gum
Konjac gum is from Araceae Amorphophallus konjac is a perennial herb (also known as taro or konjac etc.) extracted from the tuber, the main ingredient is glucomannan (KGM), it is a kind of non-ionic water-soluble polysaccharide, and the vast majority of cationic, anionic and nonionic type of edible gum have mutual solubility, cooperative or synergistic, as a natural, healthy and safe food raw materials or ingredients, has been widely used in drinks, jelly, ice cream, meat products, flour products and other foods.
Konjac gum is a non-ionic water-soluble polymer polysaccharide, rich in hydroxyl, soluble in water, can expand 80~100 times after water absorption, with the characteristics of non Newtonian fluid. At the same time, 1% konjac gum sol viscosity is currently found in plant water soluble edible gum in a high viscosity, compared with xanthan gum, guar gum, locust bean gum and other food additives, it is affected by the salt system is very small, it is used for food, can improve the physical properties, the increase of food food sticky, give food to smooth taste, suitable and stable emulsion state and suspended state.
Konjac gum has a thickening, emulsifying, adhesion, water absorption and other features, and it is the double helical winding mechanism of carrageenan for meat products, its thickening and absorption of meat products can prevent water, condensate oil, improve the adhesive force of meat products. After the konjac gum dispersion is heated and cooled, a solution with pseudoplastic fluid characteristics can be obtained. The pH value of the solution is between 5.0-7.0. Under alkaline conditions, as part of acetate solution can be removed, the formation of a stable thermal elastic gel, konjac gum and xanthan gum had synergistic function is a good solution, mixed in neutral can be formed under the condition of thermal reversible gel. The adhesive strength increases with the increase of gel concentration and gel time, but decreases with the increase of metal ion concentration. Konjac gum and carrageenan can effectively improve the gel strength and increase the elasticity, and the reaction of corn starch can increase the viscosity.
One of the konjac gum is also found that the soluble dietary fiber is the most excellent, with weight loss, constipation, blood fat, lowering blood pressure and other physiological functions, plays an important role in the prevention and adjuvant treatment of obesity, intestinal cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other modern diseases.

The Kwazulu Natal Battlefields are a testament to the vicious wars that once rocked the British, Boer, and Zulu nations. It is hard to believe that the rolling green hills, sweeping grasslands, and powerful Drakensberg mountain range once bore witness to these bloody conflicts.
Guides recount with chilling detail the nature of each battle as well as the military strategies and tactics used to undermine the enemy. Time has consumed many of the war forts that the British built, but the ominous Fort Dunford with its 30ft-high walls still stands near the town of Estcourt. The Isandlwana hill where one of the first Anglo-Zulu skirmishes took place is littered with clumps of white stones that mark the graves of fallen British soldiers. Visitors can cross the Buffalo River to Rorke’s Drift, the site of another clash.
Visitors can immerse themselves in the history embedded in the region. The Talana Museum houses thousands of documents and artefacts relating to the Anglo-Zulu and Anglo-Boer wars. Stand among the 64 bronze, life-size Voortrekker waggons commemorating the Battle of Blood River and watch the struggles come to life with annual re-enactments. Visit the Zulu cultural villages or explore the region’s rich birdlife and wildlife at Nambiti Private Game Reserve.

New York's efforts to manufacture its own personal protective equipment in the state has led to a $20 million investment from the state and helped to support 3,000 jobs, a coalition of manufacturing firms said.
The push was part of an effort by then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2020 to have reliable supply chain for pandemic-related supplies, including face masks, face shields, sanitizing products and gloves. Now, as Gov. Kathy Hochul signals she wants to keep the program in place, manufacturing companies this month signaled they're ready to work with her new administration.
"We have the expertise, resources, and manufacturing capacity to make sure that every New York resident has the highest quality protective equipment, manufactured right here in their home state," wrote the coalition of 35 New York companies called NYS PPE Manufacturers.
Hochul at an annual gathering of the New York Business Council last month singled out the program, indicating it's something she wants to continue.
Private sector companies spent millions of dollars in addition to the public funding for encouraging the manufacturing of personal protective equipment. That, in turn, led to the making of tens of millions of pandemic-related units for hospitals, doctors' offices and schools.
And as COVID-19 cases continue amid concerns of another wintertime spike as well as the uncertainty stoked by problems with the global supply chain, manufacturing in New York could continue.
"By doing so we can strengthen the economy of New York State, keep hundreds of hard-working New Yorkers on the job," the companies wrote, "and ensure that New Yorkers are getting the proper protection they need to see them through another pandemic winter and beyond."

Although there are breast cancer prevention strategies implemented across Canada, inequitable access to screening has barred many women from receiving adequate medical attention. Prevention through screening is the primary form of breast cancer control in Canada, thus inequities across the breast cancer continuum due to racialization severely affects one’s chances of surviving. Breast Cancer Screening in Racialized Women, a new report by Aziza Mahamoud, provides critical insights on the important barriers to screening many racialized and ethnic minority women face. This report addresses existing racial and ethnic inequities in breast cancer detection and diagnosis in order to draw attention to the differential access to screening among social, geographic, demographic and racial groups.

Vitamin D is one of the most common vitamin deficiencies in the world, and many people turn to vitamin D supplements in order to get their necessary share. It may be confusing then, as you browse through the pharmacy, when there are multiple varieties of vitamin D available. How are you supposed to know which one is better, and which one will best meet your needs?
This article will identify the differences between vitamin D (or vitamin D2) and vitamin D3. It will then explain which one is preferred, and how you can achieve optimal levels of vitamin D in the body.
What Does Vitamin D Do?
Vitamin D is essential to the body’s wellbeing. Its main job is to maintain healthy levels of calcium and phosphate in the body. These minerals are responsible for building strong and durable bones, teeth, and muscles. Adequate levels of calcium and phosphate also help prevent muscle spasm and cramps, and allow for bone mineralization.
Vitamin D also plays an important role in immune function. In fact, some studies are showing that vitamin D deficiency increases the risk for complications and more severe illness when fighting COVID-19.
Finally, vitamin D can help ease irritation throughout the body, improve neuromuscular health, and maintain regular cell growth.
Vitamin D deficiencies are extremely common. People that live farther away from the equator are at a higher risk for a vitamin D deficiency, due to limited sun exposure. Darker-skinned people are also more likely to be deficient in vitamin D.
The three main sources of vitamin D are sunlight, food, and supplements.
When you are outdoors from around late March to the end of September, the sensation of direct sunlight on your skin can cause the body to produce vitamin D, which is why vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin. During times of limited sunshine, however, people may struggle to produce enough vitamin D on their own, and turn to food and Daily Supplements instead.
Foods such as oily fish (like herring, mackerel, salmon, and sardines), liver, egg yolks, and red meat are good sources of vitamin D. There are also many foods that can be fortified with vitamin D, such as orange juice and oat milk.
Lastly, vitamin D supplements are widely available and safe to use with the right dose. People with severe vitamin D deficiencies may use up to 5000 IU (international units) of vitamin D, while people with insufficient concentrations of vitamin D can consume around 2000 IU, and everyone else should take no more than 800 IU.
Vitamin D supplements are available in the D2 or D3 form.
What is Vitamin D2?
When we talk about vitamin D, we are usually referring to vitamin D2. Vitamin D2, or ergocalciferol, is derived from plant sources, one example of which is wild mushrooms. Vitamin D2 is less expensive to make than vitamin D3, so most fortified food sources of vitamin D contain the D2 form.
Vitamin D2 is commonly used, with a prescription, to treat hypoparathyroidism (decreased thyroid hormone secretion), hypophosphatemia (low concentrations of phosphorus in the body), vitamin D resistant rickets (soft and weak bones caused by low levels of phosphate), and vitamin D insufficiency.
Once inside the body, vitamin D2 is converted into 25-hydroxyvitamin D2, or calcifediol. In its active form, there is little to no difference between vitamin D2 and vitamin D3.
What is Vitamin D3?
Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is a form of vitamin D that is derived from animal sources, such as fish oil, liver, egg yolks, and fatty fish. Vitamin D3 is the type of vitamin D that the skin produces when it is exposed to sunlight.
All forms of vitamin D3 are available over-the-counter, so the FDA does not allow for any specific treatment claims to be made for vitamin D3 (or any OTC vitamins, for that matter). However, it is typically used for people with vitamin D deficiency.
Vitamin D3 is metabolized by the liver into 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, also known as calcifediol. As previously mentioned, once in this form, there is no real distinction between vitamin D2 and vitamin D3.
Which is Better: Vitamin D2 or Vitamin D3?
When you take a vitamin D supplement, either D2 or D3, it will first be absorbed in the small intestine. Vitamin D2 and D3 are both fat-soluble vitamins, meaning they are stored in the body’s tissues until needed (rather than being used right away). As a result, there is no difference in the way either vitamin is dissolved, stored, or absorbed.
Similarly, vitamins D2 and D3 are both metabolized by the liver into calcifediol, the active form of vitamin D in the body. Once they are metabolized in the body, these two forms of vitamin D are used for the same things: calcium absorption, immune health, phosphate regulation, etc. When a doctor runs labs to test vitamin D levels, they are really checking for calcifediol, and cannot distinguish between the amount of D2 and D3 that compose these calcifediol levels.
As such, this means that vitamins D2 and D3 are metabolized the same way and perform the same roles in the body. So, the main difference is in how well they can raise calcifediol levels.
Multiple studies show that vitamin D3 is more effective in increasing the amount of calcifediol in the body.
One study, whose participants were post-menopausal, vitamin D-deficient women, showed that vitamin D3 is about double as effective as vitamin D2 in raising calcifediol levels. Another study, performed this time on adults that were matched for age, body mass index (BMI), and race/ethnicity, also tested which of vitamin D2 or D3 could increase calcifediol concentrations more efficiently, and also came up with the results that D3 was more effective.
Vitamin D3 has also been shown to increase energy levels in those suffering from severe vitamin D deficiencies. A study whose participants were experiencing extreme fatigue as a result of their vitamin D deficiencies demonstrated that vitamin D3 supplementation can help alleviate symptoms.

Vitamin D2 and D3 are used to build stronger bones and support better immune and neuromuscular function. Once inside the body, these vitamins perform the same tasks and are metabolized and stored in the same way. Vitamin D3 supplements, however, have been shown to be more effective in increasing the body’s vitamin D levels than vitamin D2 supplements.
Using ASYSTEM Superhuman Supplements is a great way to not only avoid/remedy vitamin D deficiency, but also to optimize your energy, enhance your immune system, and unlock your potential.
