Seoul Police’s statement
Meanwhile, Seoul Police has stated that the cause of the death was suicide, ‘It appears that Moonbin took his own life,’ adding, ‘We are currently discussing the possibility of an autopsy to determine the precise cause of death.’
Fantagio, ASTRO’s management company issued a formal statement on Moonbin’s demise. It read, “This is Fantagio. First, we apologize for having to convey this sorrowful and heartbreaking news. On April 19, ASTRO member Moonbin suddenly left us and became a star in the sky. Although it cannot be compared to the grief of the bereaved family who lost their beloved son and brother, the ASTRO members, as well as our fellow Fantagio artists and executives, are deeply mourning the deceased in great sadness and shock.”
The whole K-pop fandom is currently in heartbreak. They are in complete disbelief and utter shock. Fans poured out their condolences clips and messages over Twitter. K-pop community around the world expressed their heartbreaking emotions. Twitter trends show an outpouring of grief from fans.
One shared a 32sec reel of Moonbin, saying, “This is so heartbreaking I just saw this vid literally few days ago…rest in peace, Moonbin.”
“My deepest condolences to Moon sua, their parents, friends and family, to his brothers ML, JinJin, Eunwoo, Rocky and Sanha. I pray to the Almighty God for Moonbin’s soul to rest in peace.Gonna miss that eye smile of yours. Rest in peace, my love,” tweeted @jaimochipark.

Interview with Mr. Carlos Tomada, Minister of Labour, Employment and Social Security of Argentina (in Spanish)
The G20 meeting in Pittsburgh was especially important because it put employment high on the public policy agenda for dealing with the crisis. And I am sure it will also be included in the upcoming Toronto agenda. The ILO presence at the recent meeting of labour ministries in Washington and its efforts to establish recommendations is pushing us forward in accordance with ILO principles. It is helping countries to see that employment must be high on the agenda.
And today interaction and interdependence among countries has consequences, like the financial crisis, that are out of our control. That is why in 2008, the crisis hit Argentina even though we were well-prepared after the previous crisis in 2001 when we took measures to keep the levels of economic activity high. The president took good measures to keep employment stable. So even though our economy and employment are growing again, we hope we will not be hit by the measures being taken in Europe. We are hoping that Europe will reflect a bit more and not take any measures that will generate unemployment or lower social security. I know from experience that these austerity measures are not the right decision.
The challenges facing the global jobs pact will be overcome because the pact has moral value. It appears just when countries needed it. Indeed, many countries have adopted polices that are included in the pact. And these polices were well received. But this global pact still needs to become really global. Every country should adopt it as an essential tool for economic growth and social justice.


Skylight / July 16, 2018 / Baptiste Allain
Your ventilating skylight can be operated by one of three ways: Manual skylight controls - These are opened by your use of an extended rod to manually crank the skylight open. These are designed for ceilings of less than 15 feet. Electronic skylight controls - A simpler model of this type of control is wired to a wall mounted switch which opens and closes the skylight. More complex models are controlled by a special wall console of a wireless remote control. Automatic operating controls - With this type of control integrated heat sensors trigger the skylight to open when the interior heat reaches a preset temperature. Exterior sensors automatically close the unit when they sense moisture.
If installed badly however they can do a great deal of damage. Many people dont realize how easily that damage can be avoided by purchasing a replacement skylight instead of giving it up altogether. A skylight might be detrimental to a house in many different ways. They require flashing when installed and without proper flashing of aluminum or some other sturdy material the light will leak. Rain and other forms of moist weather will find its way into the house itself. Roof design is very important when choosing and installing a skylight. It is another reason why skylights fail after awhile. The angle or tilt of a roof and the angle at which the skylight is set will determine how strong and supported the light is.
Since most skylights are meant to be installed on a roof with asphalt shingles you may need to pay extra for flashing if you have tile or metal roofing. When you think of skylight design you may think that only refers to the visible shape of the panel chosen; in fact there are many aspects to skylights that relate to the design and affect the usefulness of the skylight. Some skylights need to provide light for a large area while others have a different purpose. Learn all you can about skylights and skylight design as a consumer before you consult a professional. This will help you to understand better the decisions you will have to make. Skylights are beneficial to have in your home for many reasons.

Drunken Lullabies is a 2002 album by the Irish-American punk band Flogging Molly. It reached 157 on the Billboard charts. It has since been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It also referred to the song "Death Valley Queen" as a "dirge of Dylanesque proportions.
Album Drunken Lullabies. Drunken Lullabies Lyrics. Must it take a life for hateful eyes To glisten once again Five hundred years like gelignite Have blown us all to hell What savior rests while on his cross we die Forgotten freedom burns Has the Shepherd led his lambs astray To the bigot and the gun. Must it take a life for hateful eyes To glisten once again Cause we find ourselves in the same old mess Singin' drunken lullabies
Folk Punk Flogging Molly. Band Name Flogging Molly. Album Name Drunken Lullabies.
Drunken Lullabies- The song starts off with a pounding bass drum and a fast-paced banjo. Bob Schmidt and Bridget Regan are my opinon the best musicians on the whole lineup. The duo continues until interrupted by a quick triplet roll on the snare and Dave's scream and the introductory explosion that we call the true Flogging Molly song starts off. The violin is a also a strong instrument on this track, as it leads the song through the verses and choruses. I love the chorus, and it's what makes the song one of the best on the album. Slow, steady vocals make it the perfect track for the perfect Flogging Molly album. Bridget Regan, joins in on vocals, and gives it more of a ballad feeling, as Dave cant exactly do that with his sort of menacing voice. All their albums end on this note, and I think thats important, to show this side of their thoughts and ideas as well.

In a hard-won triumph for environmentalists, the Pentagon announced yesterday that it will use a water-neutralization process, rather than incineration, to destroy 2,600 tons of mustard gas stored at Colorado’s Pueblo Chemical Depot and other sites. The Chemical Weapons Working Group, a watchdog organization, applauded the decision, calling neutralization safe and effective. But in Oregon, Gov. John Kitzhaber (D) expressed concerns yesterday about the proposed neutralization of 2,440 tons of mustard gas stockpiled at the Umatilla Chemical Depot, questioning whether arid eastern Oregon could afford to divert so much water. Kitzhaber also noted that the neutralization process would yield 27 million gallons of contaminated water, and questioned the “eleventh hour” nature of the plan. Defense Undersecretary E.C. Aldridge said the Army is working quickly to destroy chemical weapons so they do not become terrorist targets. The U.S. is also hustling to dispose of some 30,000 tons of such weapons by 2007, as mandated by international treaty, although the Pentagon has said it will miss that deadline.


In the days following the Supreme Court's decision, Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley tweeted, "#SCOTUS may not like our buffer zone but our commitment to protect women's healthcare access remains." Now, Coakley, Governor Deval Patrick, other lawmakers, and local women's rights groups have all signaled their support for a bill that would respect the free speech rights of protesters while at the same time strengthening existing laws that provide for the safety of clinic workers and patients as they enter reproductive health care facilities.
Speaking to hundreds of people gathered at the Supreme Rally in Boston last week, Gov. Patrick petitioned supporters to get involved in the push to draft new legislation. "Come make a claim on your government and tell your stories," he said, "above all, because we have to build the record that will sustain the legislation I believe we can move and get enacted before the session ends at the end of this month."
Anti-abortion groups have threatened more legal action if the state moves forward with a new law. Attorney General Coakley envisions greater police power to break up crowds, although few details of the proposed bill have been disclosed.

After the Ascension of Christ, the new Jewish-Christian community was hungry for stories about the life of their Messiah and the adventures of the Apostles. They were starved for clarity on this religion they newly embraced.
To accommodate this need, eyewitnesses to Christ’s ministry, such as Matthew, Mark who chronicled Peter’s experiences, and John transferred their oral histories to text. These stories were circulated to all budding Christian communities throughout the Roman Empire.
These stories proved invaluable, but these new members had many questions about doctrine and how to apply Christ’s teachings in their daily lives. This flood of questions resulted in hundreds of letters written by Apostles and other early church leaders.
As with the Hebrew scriptures, over time, there developed competing Christian scriptures. With no unity of doctrine, and the early Church Fathers dead or exiled, the church was without a doctrinal anchor which caused it to drift.
At the same time, Latin had replaced Greek as the global language, so the Greek Septuagint became obsolete. The early Christian leaders grew concerned about these competing scriptures written in a dying language.
In 382, Pope Damasus commissioned St. Jerome to translate the Old Testament from Greek to Latin. At the same time, he added the more prominent eyewitness narratives and apostolic letters into this single volume of scripture called the Vulgate.
After centuries of theological debate and several Church councils, the Vulgate became the official version of Christian scripture. But because scriptures were so difficult to reproduce, access to them was restricted to the clergy.
Over time, this simple economic necessity morphed into a tradition. Once again, scriptures were separated from the people.
This major shift in technology gave more people easier access to the Bible. But, with the mandate to print scripture in Latin, only the clergy and scholars could read this dying language.
Soon, well-meaning scholars started translating the Bible into several, European languages. But at great cost to them. The established church saw this as a threat to their traditions. Many of these brave men were eventually persecuted, exiled, or killed.
The next major development in biblical history was the European Reformation. By ending the monopoly of the Catholic Church on European society, many of the traditions were discarded. One of those discarded traditions was restrictive access to the Bible.
For the first time, the world had the technology and permission to make the Bible a book for every Christian home.
But owning a Bible had little value if the people lacked the ability to read. Because of the printing press the western world sought to provide universal reading skills.
Through the currents of history from the Torah, to Septuagint, to the Vulgate, and the confluence of the printing press, the Reformation, and increased reading skills we come to a young farm boy seeking God’s true church.
He retrieves his family Bible.
Thumbs through its hundreds of pages.
Is drawn to James 1:5.
Now, he is ready to ask God, nothing wavering.

Recent years have seen the development of successful internet of things (IoT) technologies based on IP-enabled data networks. Despite the growing demand for security of resource-constrained data service networks, a majority of nodes in them typically lack memory space and computational ability compared to Internet nodes. This restricts constrained nodes from implementing and operating burdensome security protocols and authentication methods. To overcome this problem, we propose a security offloading network system which expands the security coverage to constrained nodes in IPv6-based heterogeneous networks. The proposed system supports constrained nodes by offloading the handshake and data transmission of a security protocol to offloading agents. Constrained nodes can also utilize the ciphersuites of offloading agents without the burden of deploying them. The offloading server controls the registration, the authentication, and the load-balanced allocation of offloading-agents. The implementation and evaluation show the feasibility of the proposed system by presenting practical network performance analyses in respect of availability, responsiveness, protocol overhead, and validation. This research would be advantageous for constrained nodes to achieve a high level of security, lowering the cost of network devices at the same time.

My Name is Phillis Wheatley
My Name is Phillis Wheatley: A Story of Slavery and Freedom. Afua Cooper. 2009. Kids Can Press. 152 pages.
The green silk gown does me well, likewise the white bonnet. My mistress had insisted that I dress plainly.
A fictional account (I'm assuming) of the life of poet Phillis Wheatley. Covering her childhood through her death, it tells the bittersweet story of a slave girl whose poems were published. It tells of her struggles and heartaches. Too "genius" to mix with the slaves, too "inferior" to mix with the whites, her life definitely knew of loneliness. Even though her master and mistress were kind (relatively speaking) never for a minute does the reader get the idea, the impression, that being a slave was a good thing. (She was freed after her book was published, by the way).
I found this one to be emotional and powerful in places. The description of her crossing is especially moving.

So detox diets and juice cleansing are on trend right now but people have really mixed opinions on them, so I've been meaning to try it for myself for a while. I wanted to see if they had noticeable benefits and explore how I felt doing one and whether I'd recommend one.
To indulge my curiosity I rang the really nice people at GreenLeafOrganics and enquired about the range of cleanses they have. I told them maintaining my energy is important to me, because amongst other things, I work as personal trainer and coach competitive Muay Thai fighters and boxers so I have a really physical job, as well my own work out regimen I hate to deviate too far from. They recommended the single day Fit Cleanse for me to start with and try a two day juice cleanse in a fortnight. The Fit Cleanses is plant based and suitable for vegans, using either grown chemical free or organic ingredients. Most ingredients were certified as raw (as in, not heated to damage nutrients) and refined sugar free too. The smoothie blends are a combination of nut milks, vegetables and fruits, with added plant protein powder. It sounded like a good option to maintain my routine, so I swung by their store to collect it.
I kicked the day off at 7am with the appropriately named Sunrise, and proceeded to sip the full range throughout the day. I got to consume a smoothie every couple of hours and while obviously not a filling meal, the bircher was a nice addition, as fasting from solid food when you're not used to it can be a little emotionally taxing and sometimes just chewing something not only staves off hunger pangs, it deals with the craving to eat, so I snacked on it a little over the day. Everything actually tasted good too, which was a bonus.
While I consumed a lot less calories throughout the day than I usually would, I actually didn't feel excessively hungry. By the afternoon I haddeveloped a bit of a headache because I normally drink about three coffees a day, so I snuck in half a cold brew to stave that off, but other than that I stuck to the plan. As the day went on I actually felt a little more clear headed than usual, but perhaps a little tired, which was interesting to observe, though I had shitty sleep the night before so that could have played a part. At 5:30pm I taught boxing and did an hours sparring, which anyone who has given it a go will tell you is some pretty hard shit to to do. Sparring I felt a little sluggish, it I didn't get punched in the head any more than usual, and I didn't at all feel lacking in energy to get through it. I had my final smoothie blend after the session to get some protein in and replenish the glycogen (that's the stored glucose in your body) back into the system, and finished off the last of the coconut water that was part of the package to help rehydrate. I went to bed and had a dope sleep (the reduction in caffeine surely helped!), and actually woke up feeling noticeably more energetic, a feeling that's lasted the last the next couple of days.
I think a big thing about a juice cleanse or partial fast is that it makes you really mindful of food and what you're ingesting. I generally pretty well, but sometimes can slip into bad habits ( excessive caffeine intake for example!), so it was a good opportunity to be really considered about things. If on the other hand you eat a generally shitty diet, a cleanse could be a good opportunity to take break your habits.
Now I'm not a dietician or nutritionist just a dude who trains a lot and cares about what he eats, and I wanted to understand a bit of the science behind cleansing, so I rang my bro Cliff Harvey, a lecturer and researcher about nutrition. I told him what I'd done for the day, and he explained that "going on a periodic fast" is a great way to help reset your metabolism (the process and rate your body turns food into energy) and even potentially help your immune system. He described juice cleanses as a modified fast, and for the duration of the cleanse I'd effectively been on a lower calorie, high nutrient, maybe lower carb type diet. Doing that, I could have been resetting my body and "helping it to burn fat more effectively" by getting it tap into it's own fat stores more effectively for energy rather than relying on sugar. The better we can be at using our fat stores he explained, the less reliant we are at having to get more sugar in and thus reducing sugary cravings. He said it was important to note that when choosing a cleanse , that your not just swapping one shitty diet for another shitty diet as some juice cleanses are really high in fructose being all based around fruits so it's important to find one that's more blended. That said, any sort of day when you're reducing processed and refined foods and swapping them for something more nutrient rich is a good thing.
Overall, I had a really positive experience with my cleanse. I think if you're looking to reset your diet or start a new routine it's a good way to go. It's not a miracle cure to any ailments you may have but it's a good way to reflect and be more intentional about what you're consuming, as well as spending a day ingesting a lot of really good nutrients and excluding shit that's bad for you. The trick would be then not to go back to what you know and maintaining a balanced diet of whole foods that continues to be more natural and more unprocessed than packaged. If you try one out, let me know how it goes!

In memoriam: Will Alsop (1947-2018)
The British architect Will Alsop has died aged 70 after a short illness. The co-founder of aLL Design, who was born in Northampton on 12 December 1947, passed away in hospital on Saturday 12 May.
‘Will has inspired generations and impacted many lives through his work. It is a comfort to know that due to the nature of Will’s work and character, he will continue to inspire and bring great joy,’ says aLL Design director and co-founder Marcos Rosello. ‘He had an exceptional ability to recognise particular strengths in individuals which he would draw out and nurture. His design ethos, essentially to ‘make life better’ is evident in the architecture of his buildings and their surrounding communities. We will miss him greatly.’
Although Alsop never achieved the international fame and fortune of his peers his passion was undiminished. Alsop leaves behind an impressive, albeit succinct, visual legacy, with many projects left unbuilt – his vision was occasionally obscured by over-ambition. His was always an architecture of spectacle adrift in an era of sober conformity, too ostentatious for the modernists, too bold for the high-tech crowd and too wayward and non-conformist for the post-modernists.
Le Grand Bleu, Marseilles, France
His earliest success, a giant town hall in Marseille won during his partnership with Jan Störmer in 1990, was the kind of commission most architects would kill for. The resulting structure, known locally as Le Grand Bleu, stalked above its site like a piece of sci-fi theatre, an office building for local government deconstructed into rich civic theatre.
At this point, Alsop’s career could have gone in literally any direction. Le Grand Bleu was critically acclaimed, a welcome mash-up of high-tech’s obsession with the architecture of the machine and the playful, boisterous form making of Po-mo. Alsop and Störmer had beaten Foster in the Marseilles competition, a welcome reversal of the decision that left him, at the age of just 23, a runner-up to Richard Rogers and Renzo Piano in the competition for the Pompidou Centre two decades before. The 21st century, it seemed, was his for the taking.
Alsop was born in 1947 and studied at the Architecture Association in London. He spent four formative years in the office of Cedric Price, the maverick modernist who believed architecture’s impact on the city also demanded impermanence; buildings could be bold, fleeting and constantly on the move. His own office was set up in the early 1980s with first John Lyall and then Störmer and in addition to Le Grand Bleu, other key buildings from this period include a ferry terminal in Hamburg and the copper-clad library in Peckham, south London, which won the Stirling Prize in 2000. Raised up on slender pilotis, the library was a breath of fresh air in a moribund domestic architecture scene. It pre-dated the obsession with grand ‘iconic’ statements yet acknowledged that one of its key roles was to be seen, not melt into the cityscape.

In 2000, Alsop went it alone. The Sharp Centre for Design in Ontario is effectively Peckham Mk2, a bigger, bolder, taller box with pixelated supergraphics. A couple of miles down the road in South London he also designed the Ben Pimlott Building at Goldsmiths, a raised studio building crowned with a tangled steel spaghetti sculpture. There were other major works, including the Palestra office building, the spectacular North Greenwich jubilee station (the debarkation point for the Greenwich Millennium Exhibition in 2000), and the ‘stacked chips’ flats in New Islington commissioned by Urban Splash. With ideas like ‘Supercity’, which expanded Price’s vision of a technotopian urban corridor across the centre of the country, Alsop briefly became a minor television star, scribbling artistically and speaking laconically about architecture’s regenerative power. He was ahead of his time in this respect.
By the end of the Noughties, the enfant terrible tag was starting to sag. Clients wanted bold, but his imagination rarely looked a budget in the eye, and grand plans and big schemes evaporated off the drawing boards. Alsop always combined architecture with art, painting big sploshy abstracts that mirrored his building’s grand sweeps of colour. His habit of heading off to the Med to paint (the results of which resulted in several monographs) didn’t help the bottom line and business missteps and increasingly cautious clients – not to mention a backlash against the ‘blob’ in the architectural press – saw Alsop marginalised. Eventually he relinquished his own practice to sit in as a named consultant for much larger, less forward-thinking firms.
Alsop’s vision worked well in London, a city that’s used to the rough and tumble of big ideas. Unsurprisingly, though, the latter stages of his career found him exploring the fast-moving world of Chinese urbanism, trying to bring his experience and vision of urbanism to a very different world. Alsop was a necessary and welcome foil to the sober steel machismo of high-tech design. He was an unabashed populist, undaunted by criticism, but nevertheless subject to the whims of fashion and taste. Alsop’s built legacy leaves many cities a much richer place.

This article looks at the impact of social support on college adjustment among traditional campus residents and commuters. One consistent controversy concerning the conceptualization of social support concerns what actions, resources, and outcomes should be considered relevant to the provision of social support. As comparisons are made between commuters and campus residents, it appears that the impact of social support on college adjustment in these populations may vary in terms of which type of social support is relevant to various aspects of adjustment. In the context of commuting students, the availability of informational and instrumental network support and the perception of instrumental support are the most important antecedent variables to personal, social and academic adjustment.

Monday might have been a holiday for some, but not for Utah coach Kyle Whittingham, who was in Texas closing the deal with a recruit. Whittingham and safeties coach Morgan Scalley paid a visit to corner Greg Allen, a 6-foot, 200-pound corner out of Alief Taylor H.S., in Houston, Texas and left with a commitment from Allen on Monday. Allen was planning to visit Kansas but cancelled the trip and said his commitment to the Utes was solid. "They've been checking on me ever since my sophomore year," Allen said. "My gut says, 'yes' to Utah. I loved my visit and everything felt right." Allen, who visited Utah over the weekend, fills one of the Utes' biggest voids as Utah has put a priority on recruiting defensive backs this year. He plans to join the Utes for summer workouts and said he can't wait to get on the field. "If wide receivers come at me, they'll see I came to play," he said.

Dollars and Sex
“The subject and style of Dollars and Sex challenge conventional thinking making it a most stimulating and rewarding read.”
What role do property, wealth, and money play in love? Is a person loved for his or her inner essence or for money? Is sex bartered for money?
These core cultural questions have been explored in many contexts. In William Shakespeare’s classic drama King Lear, the king’s third daughter Cordelia refuses to traffic in the transactional connection between expressing her love for her father and pecuniary gain. In an eloquent speech, she proclaims connecting the two is prostitution.
It is exactly this connection between love and property that is at the core of Marina Adshade’s provocative Dollars and Sex: How Economics Influences Sex and Love.
The scope of Dollars and Sex extends far beyond the territory of prostitution. Not all readers may be comfortable with the topics the author explores, such as the economic relationships between “penis size and economic well-being . . . countries in which the average penis size is small tend to be worse off. As penises get bigger, however, national incomes increase but only up to a certain point, after which bigger penises are associated with smaller national incomes.”
The author’s exploration of Dollars and Sex blends the rationality premise of economics with contemporary behavioral economics, holding that people pursue interests that are as much or more motivated by emotions and misimpressions as by reason.
The author emphasizes that her approach employs “revealed preference”—what people actually do, rather than opinion polls about what they might do. To this end, the author observes, “Economic theories are not intended to describe the behavior of everyone in a society but rather the behavior or people on average.”
The insight the author brings to her exploration of the rise in premarital sex is instructive. Initially, premarital sex was shunned because of fear of pregnancy and the stigma associated with engaging in sex before marriage. But because now there’s less fear of pregnancy, there is more openness about sex. And because there is more sex, there is less stigma.
From her assessment of the shift of the sharp realignment of education and earnings prospects, the author draws the conclusion that “a young adult’s willingness to be promiscuous is tied to the cost of tuition in college: when tuition fees are high, youths tend to engage in riskier sexual behavior. This observation explains, in part, why the teen pregnancy rate is so much higher in the United States than it is in other developed nations with more affordable post-secondary education.”
Another provocative conclusion the author advances is “that many women, especially young women, will not date a man if he has had a child. Being a father suggests to women that a man has fewer resources and time than other qualified suitors.” This concern was succinctly expressed to the author by one of her friends, who remarked, “Why would I date a man who is off buying his children snowsuits when he could be spending that money on me?”
Today’s young women are “part of a new generation of highly educated women . . . who are more educated, on average, than are men. Finding a husband who is as—or more—educated has become more difficult as all women now compete for relatively few educated men.” These women, then, are “always on the prowl.”
The author points out that as with any and every service and commodity, the forces of supply and demand in the relationship market influence the who marries whom, for “men and women do not necessarily marry the types of person their initial preferences dictate: they marry the person that is both available and willing to be married to them . . . who is available in that particular subset of willing partners is determined largely by the decisions made by everyone else in the market.”
Physical attractiveness and income interact in an interesting way: “Women prefer a man who has a medium income level over a man who has a high income level if he is physically attractive . . . if he is less attractive, though, women prefer men who have a high income level over one who has a medium income level.”
Dr. Adshade relates illuminating research concerning the interplay of race and earnings, specifically the earnings premium that applies on an overall statistical basis in mixed marriages.
A white woman facing the prospect of marring a white man earning $62,500 would require a premium of $77,000 to marry a Hispanic man, $150,000 to marry a black man, and $247,000 to marry an Asian man.
Black women expect a Hispanic man to earn $184,000 more and a white man $220,000 more to be equally desirable as a black man. Interestingly, Asian women have much stronger preferences for white men than for Asian men, favoring a white man earning $24,000 less than an otherwise identical Asian man.
Regarding the income-attractiveness interdependency, Marina Adshade suggests the following wedding vow for a bride, “My husband. What you lack in stature and attractiveness, you more than compensate for with a level of education and occupational choice, and I value that this tradeoff is sufficient for me to choose you as my husband . . . I will sacrifice my own human capital for that of our children, in the knowledge that you will bring in sufficient resources for our family to insure our wellbeing. While it may not be rational, I will quell my inclination to behave in a risk-averse manner and pledge to invest in our marriage and my asset portfolios as if I expected us to be together until death do we part.”
The subject and style of Dollars and Sex challenge conventional thinking making it a most stimulating and rewarding read.

Mixed convection is a fundamentally significant heat transfer problem that occurs in a wide range of industrial and technological applications. For example, it is of great interest to thermal designers in the field of electronic cooling. Given that its occurrence is frequent, there is a necessity to understand its physics. This investigation is focused on a horizontal cylinder in cross-flow, at low Reynolds numbers of order 100–102 and high Grashof numbers of order 104 and at the Prandtl number for air. Particle image velocimetry and interferometric measurements for these cases clearly show the range of Gr/Re2 for which mixed convection occurs. Infra red temperature measurements from a printed circuit board mounted in a test electronic system at similar values of Grashof and Reynolds number are then presented which exhibit similar mixed convection phenomena.
The novelty lies in using the detailed measurements from the cylinder experiments to explain the temperature distribution across the printed circuit board. To do this requires finding the correct and characteristic lengths in the similarity condition. This should therefore allow the designers of electronic systems to estimate the values of Reynolds and Grashof number for which buoyancy effects need to be considered. This in turn will enable the designer to better predict the circuit board temperature distribution and component reliability.

Punjab Cabinet Minister: By speeding up the process of resolving the issues of Punjab government employees, the cabinet sub-committee, in which Finance Minister Advocate Harpal Singh Cheema, Employment Generation Minister Aman Arora, Transport Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar, Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr. Balbir Singh was involved.
During its meeting, talks were held with the representatives of various employee unions and associations. During the series of meetings held at Punjab Bhavan, Drug De-addiction and Rehabilitation Union, Unemployed Multipurpose Health Workers Union, Punjab Roadways Panbus State Transport Workers Union, Overseas Unemployed Union, Punjab Pay Scale Restoration Joint Front and Punjab-Chandigarh UT. The pensioners front raised their issues and submitted demand papers to the sub-committee.
Responding to the common issues of regularizing the services of contractual employees in various departments, Finance Minister Advocate Harpal Singh Cheema said that the Punjab government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has decided to regulate the services of employees with ten years of experience. has notified the policy to regularize He said that this policy will help in regularizing the services of majority of the contractual employees.
He said that the cases of the employees who will not be able to come under this policy will also be considered sympathetically during the next phase. The cabinet sub-committee also assured the unions that the state government has also started working on a special policy for outsourced workers to ensure that they also get benefits like annual increment in salary and leave. can
The Cabinet Ministers reiterated that the sub-committee is endeavoring to resolve all the demands and issues of the employees including regularization of services in a manner that does not face any legal hurdle.
Meanwhile, Aman Arora said that during the last years of their tenure, the previous governments deliberately adopted such dual policies to regularize the employees, which were naturally challenged in the courts.
Meanwhile, Health Minister Dr. Balbir Singh assured the representatives of the Unemployed Multipurpose Health Workers Union that the process of filling 200 posts of Multipurpose Health Workers is underway. He invited the representatives of the drug addiction and rehabilitation union to do more to bring positive results of the drug addiction and rehabilitation program, saying that the government is already working to improve their working conditions.

Report 1104: Perfect Piemonte and Bella Bologna: A Succulent Journey for the Senses and Soul
By Palma from California, Fall 2006
Page 15 of 18: Rainy-day Shopping, and an Anniversary Dinner
After a leisurely breakfast and lots of coffee, we set out on a walk. The morning was cloudy and cooler. We began on Via D’Azelio, browsing a large bookstore. While Brad was still looking at CDs in the music section, I went outside for a smoke. I discovered a small alleyway leading to a tiny courtyard I had never seen before. There in front of me, was the Italian equivalent of a bead store where they made semiprecious jewelry. EUREKA!
I told Brad where he could find me, and he entertained himself for the next hour at other nearby bookstores. I had a ball with Graziella and Maria, buying several necklaces, earrings they made on the spot to match, and the greatest find… beautiful jeweled clasps. At home, I usually spend $30 a piece for these, and here there were boxes full, for 5 Euro each! What a find! Everything happens for a reason, I always say!
Brad returned, and the women told us of their favorite local restaurant. Today was our anniversary, and the hotel had made us a reservation at a recommended spot. We called the hotel to cancel, and immediately called for a table for our anniversary dinner at Trattoria Della Santa.
By now it was raining gatti e cani, and we had left umbrellas in our room. A wonderful thing about Bologna, is that rain can’t get you with so many covered porticos. We sat in a sidewalk caffe, under a portico, and journaled through a couple cups of cappuccino. I bought cell phone minutes for a friend, and we continued window-shopping to keep dry. We visited the large tourist office, bought some postcards, and ended up in our favorite caffe on Piazza Maggiore, sharing a panino and cold drinks. We enjoyed quite a lightening and thunder show, possibly the loudest thunder I have ever heard! We had books with us, and remained in our spot for a couple of hours.
The rain calmed down, and finally stopped by 3:30. We went into the Duomo, and lit some candles. At 4:00, I hit my last Bologna store, and bought two more wonderful Christmas gifts, then splurged on a large, luscious velvet shawl and a top for myself. We returned to the hotel for a nap and some packing.
Later, we showered and dressed for our anniversary dinner. Though it was raining, it was a short walk to the restaurant. All the streetlights had gone out, so it was very dark, and a little creepy. Occasional car headlights helped us see where we were walking. We found the restaurant filled with Italians, without a “tourist type” in sight, or an English word being spoken.
I began with tortellini in a pink sauce with ragu and cream. Brad had a white version, followed by saltimbocca. I had a great veal chop cooked in butter and lots of sage. Between each course, we opened anniversary cards. Brad took a photo of me with the new, huge, “fun” ring I was wearing. The family at the next table commented that it must be my “regalo”. I laughed and told them it was my regalo to myself. They were surprised to hear us speak Italian. Brad followed by saying, “Il viaggio e il regalo!” Panna cotta followed with grappa for Brad and coffee. Our bill with wine, acqua and coperto was 60 Euro!
By the time we left, the rain had stopped, and the streetlights were back on. When we got back to our room, we found a lovely bouquet of flowers and a chilled bottle of good Prosecco with an anniversary note from the hotel manager. It was a lovely evening, and a great last night in Bologna.

The purpose of the present investigation was to determine a practical method of vaccination against bacillary dysentery.
It has been emphasized that the toxicity of the dysentery group of organisms, especially that of the Shiga bacillus, is such as not to permit of their employment in simple saline or aqueous suspensions. If, on the other hand, their toxicity is removed by the addition of certain chemicals, the antigen of the bacilli is so changed as not to be suitable for immunization purposes.
The toxicity of the bacilli can also be diminished by the addition of immune serum. There is no essential difference in the result whether unmodified serum is used or that modified by Gibson's method. The use of serum with vaccines cannot be recommended, in spite of the relative non-toxicity of such mixtures. The specific immunity response is reduced, while the parenteral injection of horse serum in large groups of men is objectionable because of the serum sensitization which it produces.
It has been shown that a certain vegetable oil, almond oil, (and this statement may apply to a number of non-irritating, absorbable oils) is capable of overcoming many of these disadvantages.
The oil acts as a passive agent in merely suspending the bacteria without altering their properties. The slow absorption of the suspended bacteria from this vehicle mitigates the toxic effects of the dysentery bacilli. At the same time it does not interfere with the immunity response—antibacterial and antitoxic.
If the absorption is too slow, however, as in the instances in which lanolin was added, less satisfactory results follow. The proper rate of absorption is as important a factor as the proper vegetable oil. The latter condition has been emphasized in the consideration of the effects of an objectionable olive oil.
The neutralization of the oil should be complete. F. G. S. and J. W. S. suffered from severe local reactions, the results of the local deposition of soaps, which are difficult of absorption.
As a result of the slow absorption of the dysentery bacilli from the oily suspension only slight local and general reactions follow, and it is possible to give at one time and in a single dose a sufficient number of the killed dysentery bacilli to incite a high degree of immunity.
The precise series of events following the injection of the oily vaccine are: During the 1st day, an erythematous area develops at the site of injection, which is not especially painful. There may be a slight systemic reaction, consisting in headache and slight chilliness. After 24, sometimes after 48 hours, an induration appears at the site of injection, varying from 2 to 4 cm. in diameter, which remains unchanged for a few days, then begins to recede, complete absorption requiring from 1 to 3 weeks. The induration remains localized and has no tendency to break down. It causes no inconvenience.
During the period of absorption the organism of the host continually receives antigen. The rule of immunology is that while antigen is circulating the antibodies are usually not demonstrable; it is only after all the antigen disappears that the antibodies appear in greatest concentration. Since the vaccine is slowly absorbed, the reasons for the delayed appearance of antibodies, as well as their persistence, become obvious.

Arthroscopic TFCC Repair using the Micro SutureLasso™ (Inside out / Outside in)
Using standard arthroscopic portals, the Micro SutureLasso™ are directed through the TFCC tissue adjacent to the tear. The Micro SutureLasso can be inserted using either the outside-in or inside-out techniques. A specialized 2-0 FiberStick allows direct passage of 2-0 FiberWire suture through the Micro SutureLasso and TFCC tissue. Using either technique a mattress stitch is created over the tear. The sutures are then tied to the capsule to complete the repair.


Brisbane is Australia's most expensive CBD for one-hour parking and the second most expensive city for parking overall behind Sydney, Queensland's motoring body says.
The RACQ's annual audit of capital city off-street parking costs canvassed all Australian CBDs.
Brisbane motorists are now paying almost four times what they did in 2001, it says.
RACQ spokesman Michael Roth says average weekday Brisbane CBD parking rates increased 28.7 per cent over the past year.
Short term visitors to Brisbane city are hardest hit, with one hour parking rates skyrocketing to an average $27.94 per hour.
"That's five per cent higher than the Sydney CBD at $26.71 per hour and 64 per cent more than Melbourne at $17.08 per hour.
More than 60 per cent of the maximum daily parking charge in the Brisbane CBD is accrued in the first two hours, Mr Roth says.
"It means that Brisbane motorists who want to go to the CBD for a movie, shopping or some other purpose will pay an average of $42.31 for two hours' parking and $65.71 for four hours," he said.
The annual parking report, which was introduced in 2011 by the RACQ, found Sydney is the most expensive city to park for between two and four hours, with average rates between $51.35 and $72.25 respectively.

Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
1. The major convulsions that have gripped the worldand that have been dominating the media headlines for the last two decades share a common link. They all point to either individuals or organisations that are Muslim or at least they claim to be so.
2. But on closer examination, we find that much of the instability and violence, the destruction and the killings have less to do with Islam as a religion and more to do with staking out spheres of power and influence.
3. It is true – these individualsand organisations invariably claim that they act according to the commands of Islam and that when they kill, they do so in the name of jihad.
4. But we know it is a lie. Their actions are, in fact, not related to religion or to holy war or are really committed in the name of Allah or for the cause of Islam even though they try very hard to make it look that way.
5. The barbaric killings, bombings, kidnappings and other acts of violence are also not related to Islam as a civilization. Contrary to what was predicted in the past, there is no civilizational clash between the Muslim world and Christendom.
In fact, there is no clash between or among civilizations at all.
6. Indeed, what we are witnessing is the wholesale hijacking of Islam for worldly gain. With increasing rapidity, religion is being exploited to take over territory with rich resources.People are kidnapped for ransom. Women are captured and turned into sex slaves or pawned as bait to men as reward for joining in the fight.
7. In this renewed quest for more power and influence, the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham has now overtaken al-Qaeda and the other terrorist groupings in the race to show who can wreak more havoc and create more terror. As events in the last month have shown, ISIS has demonstrated that it too can operate beyond geographical boundaries.
8. The recent ruthless attacks and brutal massacres in Paris must be condemned categorically and the perpetrators must be brought to justice.
9. Nevertheless, while we must condemn all forms of senseless killing, what tend to be glossed over are the equally inhuman acts and depredations inflicted on other innocent peoples as well.
10. The plight of the Palestinians appears to be all but forgotten until another incident erupts for which the Western controlled media will always ensure that equal if not total blame will be heaped on them.
11. The fact that they have been dispossessed of their homeland, and have to fight tooth and nail just to get by with the territorial prison they are being caged inis somehow lost in the narrative.
12. And there is Myanmar. While we rejoice in the electoral victory secured by Aung San Suu Kyi and the National League for Democracy, we remain concerned that the plight of the Muslim minorities such as the Rohingyas has not been resolved.On the contrary, we are witnessinga rise of extreme bigotry towards minorities particularly the Muslims and unchecked violence inflicted on them.
13. There is also a real and bloody clash that is happening within the Muslim world itself with Muslims murdering Muslims in the name of Islam. Sectarian strife between Sunni and Shia continues to claim thousands of lives.
14. Across the Middle-East and Pakistan, the inability or sheer refusal to look beyond parochial interests and sectarian beliefs has resulted in a culture of intolerance and hate, a deadly one-dimensional outlook with extreme and violent consequences.
15. The fact is that these turbulent happenings and events are detracting us from our main focus as Muslim democrats.
16. Leaving aside all other extraneous factors, the Muslim world continues to be plagued by the problem of widespread poverty and economic backwardness.
17. The statistics paint a sad picture. While the Muslim population is less than a quarter of the world total, more than half of global poverty is in the Muslim world.
18. There are no positive signs to show that the trend is about to be reversed any time soon. What it means is that the host of problems associated with poverty continue to plague the umma.
19. Employment, education, health care and housing which form the fundamental determinants of societal progress – these are all sorely lacking in Muslim societies. And when we factor in the social inequities between the rich and the poor and the overall political situation, it begs the question:
How much capacity is there left for the questions of freedom, democracy and justice? Will issues of rule of law and an independent judiciary be relevant at all?
20. I have no doubt that the answer to all these questions remains a resounding “yes”. Indeed, we cannot dismiss these issues or set them aside with the hope that they will just disappear.
21. Issues of freedom and democracy are fundamental and together with the questions of proper governance, they hold the key to resolving some of the major problems that beset poverty stricken Muslim countries.
22. Widespread corruption and kleptocracy are definitive features. Tied with this is the length of rule – typically, either the same individual or the same political party will remain in power with no signs of handing over power. Accountability and transparency of governance are essentially brushed aside.
23. So, while the world at large is focussed on the “war against terror” and while we are clear on which side we stand in this war, the underlying fundamental problems of the umma must never be forgotten or even neglected.
24. The situation is not entirely hopeless. The Arab Spring may have most unfortunately turned into a winter which promises to be protracted and harsh.
25. But over here in this part of the world with the largest number of Muslim inhabitants is living testimony of what a nation can achieve when political will meets the umma’s aspirations.
26. I believe that Indonesia’s successful transition from decades of autocracy to democracy since the Reformasi of 1997 should be a showcase of why the fight for freedom and democracy does not end just through the ballot box.
27. That in fact is just the beginning. It is a long hard struggle to have democracy institutionalised – the most challenging being the reconstruction of the constitutional structure and ensuring the separation of powers.
28. In spite of the huge challenges, Indonesia is very fortunate to have had a well-entrenched civil society. This essentially translates into civil Islam and that is the key to the future success of Muslim nations in the quest for freedom and democracy.
29. The lessons of 1965 and the winter of democratic suppression and dictatorial controls that set in with the New Order (OrdeBaru) in a deep sense moulded the emergence of civil Islam.
30. There was no need to craft an Islamic Weltanschauung for it has evolved by natural selection.
31. Today, with Reformasi already 16 years behind us, what can Muslim democrats learn from the legacy of the likes of Gus Durand Nurcholish Madjidin terms of giving the Muslim world the new impetus to deal with the multifarious challenges?
32. I believe we need to revisit the inclusivist concepts within the framework of the foundational themes for Muslim-majority nations.
33. Surely, any signs of a revival of “Islamic puritanism”, or “religious conservatism and social exclusivism” are tell-tale indications of slouching towards militancy, fanaticism and terrorism.
34. This forum will therefore have to address these issues boldly. I make no apology for advocating civil Islam in its widest conception and, to borrow the expression of Robert Heffner, in order to create “a civilized and self-limiting state”.
35. In other words, “the state must act as a guardian of public civility as well as a vehicle of the popular will.”
36. Previously, the prevailing myth was that Muslim societies desire less freedom and democracy. We can safely bury this fallacy. We need greater democratization.
37. At the same time, religious intolerance, fanned by right-wing racist groups will continue to put stress on multi-racial and multi-religious coalitions. We need to be constantly vigilant against that.
38. Let me conclude with a quote from the convener and co-founder of the Forum, Anwar Ibrahim:
“There are no two ways about it. The growth and strengthening of civil society committed to the advancement of democracy and freedom, the establishment of rule of law, and the safeguarding of human dignity, will continue to serve as the bulwark against the forces bent on derailing them.”

Things I liked: Clear optics great AO range and perfect size
Things I would have changed: Simple get some eye relief your eye is in danger if you have a gun with any recoil. Plus you must hang the scope over the end of the gun to get it close enough to see through.
What others should know: Glue to scope to your eye with super glue.
Things I liked: The fact that you can NOT get a better scope for what a scope is meant for; to SEE the target downrange, acquire the 'kill' spot, and then SHOOT! And the THREE Bug Busters I have gotten from PA are WONDERFUL performers... PERIOD!
Things I would have changed: It would be great if we had a choice of reticles, glass vs wire vs... you get it. And though it may sound CRAZY for the price-point, I wouldn't mind having a side focus for the AO. I'm just sayin'!
What others should know: People, I do not own a HIGH-END optic, but seriously, I KNOW what my eyeballs see when I look through one. I have had the 'pleasure' of using optics costing up in the thousands, but other than the NAME brand, I just do not GET it. Now MAYBE if you are shooting at a thousand yards, THEN you might need a PURE GLASS, GAS FILLED, NO FOG EVER type of scope. Oh, something else. While I have no clue if there might be PLASTIC optics used in some of these great scopes from Leapers and others, do NOT let someone convince you that scopes with ANY sort of PLASTIC optics is somehow inferior... IT AIN'T. Check out some of the optics that NASA uses. glass is NOT the end-all/be-all regarding the view. Some of the BEST tele lenses I used way back as a PROFESSIONAL photographer had multi-lens plastics, and a few were hybrids. Getting back to my BB scopes, I wouldn't change 'em for NOTHING. And I will always say a little prayer for some guy who thinks the only scope is a MEGA priced one... sad.
Things I liked: Small ,light and cool looking.
Things I would have changed: Maybe an etched glass version with better optics and a lower price. (Right) the mounts are not the greatest, they seem to point the scope off to the left so you have to shim it to keep from over adjusting.
What others should know: All scopes mounted on a spring powered air gun are going to shift sooner or later. The bug buster is no exception.even on my HW 30 I have to make adjustments from time to time. All my more powerful guns (HW 95s, RWS, beemans and gamos) have UGT/leapers or hawke scopes, UGT 10x44 compact rules. But it's all about weight with my HW 30 and the bug makes it sweet.
Will this work on Gamo SWARM Maxxium?
What rings does this come with? The description says medium but the pictured rings are low. UTG low rings have a 10mm saddle hight while the mediums are 15mm. If the saddle is solid it's low, the saddle is milled out on all other heights.
WILL THIS SCOPE WORK ON A WALTHER TERRUS OR A GAMO SILENT CAT AND if IT Will what MOUNT WOULD I NEED
What type of scope base is on your gun? What type of mount do you need? Weaver, Picatinny, 3/8″ or 11mm? Do you need 2-pc mounts or a 1-pc mount? 30mm or 1″? Scope mounts intro (Airgun Academy class)
Scope includes mount. Need a different mount?

JP Morgan will no longer finance new coal mines or support new coal-fired power plants in “high income” countries, the banking giant said in a policy statement on its website.
Bank of America, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo have made similar pledges in recent months, all part of a larger divestment movement aimed at transitioning the world’s economies off fossil fuels. The anti-coal campaign has dealt a blow to an already struggling industry. The price of coal has dropped from $140 per ton in 2009 to $42 in 2016 as cheap, abundant natural gas and renewables have flooded the U.S. energy market. At the same time, support for climate action has grown, with the signing of an international climate agreement in Paris last December. “We believe the financial services sector has an important role to play as governments implement policies to combat climate change,” JPMorgan said in the document.

► CAR lives with another Caterham
► This time it's a balanced 360S
► It definitely won't be boring
As first journeys go, this isn't a best-case scenario for our new Caterham Seven: a 150-mile grind from Sussex to Lincolnshire, through the traffic chaos emanating from a closed M25. Without sat-nav and with my sense of direction (or lack of) it takes five and a half hours, almost exclusively spent in traffic jams and average-speed-camera zones.
With the NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) levels of an industrial threshing machine, the Seven is not a happy car on the motorway.
I stop halfway home to put the hood up, and don't do quite as taut a job as I should (I've since learnt the knack). Above 60mph the wind whips it rhythmically against the frame. Flap, flap, flap. At about the same speed, fifth gear has a slight but insistent whine. Somehow six decades of development still hasn't blessed the Seven with self-cancelling indicators, so every time you use them they emit an electronic nails-on-blackboard bleep to remind you to switch them off and avoid a roguish lamp winking away at traffic around you. Neep, neep, neep.
Living with a Caterham Seven Academy racer
It's dark by the time I've flap-flapped, neep-neeped, whined and roared my way home, and I remember I didn't get a chance to clear space in the garage for the Seven beforehand. A bit like returning from a long-haul flight, ready to collapse into bed, before remembering that you stripped the covers before you went. After exchanging lawnmower, bicycles and another car for the Caterham, lit by its headlights and neighbours' twitching curtains, I yoga my way out of the cockpit, almost on hands and knees (the side screens can't open fully in the garage). I'm exhausted, vaguely sun-stroked and with a ringing in my ears that won't go away until the following morning. Yet as I close the garage door I feel like the jammiest bugger in the world. I could not feel luckier to have this car to myself for the next few months.
Our Seven, picked up from Caterham's Crawley centre near Gatwick, where it's surrounded by other alluring Sevens in all hues and trims, is a 360. That means it sits bang in the middle of Caterham's numerically ordered range, approximately named after power-to-weight ratios. The humbler 270 and 310 use Ford's 1.6-litre Sigma engine; the 360 is the cheapest Seven available with the 2.0-litre Ford Duratec engine. The 420 and 620 above it use the same engine, tuned for headier power outputs.
The 2.0-litre motor is torquier and burlier in feel than the Sigma but less eager and zingy; for now I'm undecided which I prefer. Regardless of engine, each Seven is also available in a choice of either road-friendly S or track-orientated R trim. Ours is a 360S, which means it has a full windscreen, hood and side screens (handy), a heater (ditto) and slightly softer suspension. It misses out on the R's race seats, lighter flywheel, limited-slip diff, rear anti-roll bar and uprated brakes.
Or at least it would, except our car is a bit of a crossbreed in that it's an S with some R bits added as options. So while it has leather seats and weather protection, it also has the diff, rear suspension mods and brake upgrades. It might just be the best of both worlds. We'll see.
Next stop Sussex, to meet with contributing editor Ben Whitworth and his Renault Zoe. 'You're a lucky boy,' he says, wistfully remembering the Seven 160 he ran in 2013 and '14. 'Just remember to pack earplugs.'
If only I'd thought of that earlier. But the journey is, in fact, so slow that wind noise isn't a big deal. Frustrating as the congested trip may be, it also serves as a reminder that cars can be so much more than just transport.
Whether you're going from A to B or from A to A for the fun of it, you can't help but revel in the exposure to the elements and connection with your surroundings, the sensation of speed and the simple joy of movement. The Seven's creator, Colin Chapman, described it as 'motorcycling on four wheels'. I feel like a kid on a bike again.
As I lock the garage and stumble off to bed, I figure that having survived – enjoyed, even – a journey the 360S is so utterly unsuited to, the next few months are going to be pretty special.
Boxes worth ticking
The 360S is priced from £31,490, but ours is worth £44,918. Among the options we're glad it has are the limited-slip diff (£995) and sport suspension (£795) with a rear anti-roll bar (£195). Your elbows will thank you for the £95 you spend on side armrests. The half hood (£195) is easier to put on and doesn't steam up when it rains, although you'll need the standard full hood in serious wet weather.
Maybe not these...
The wide-body SV chassis (£2500) is only a good idea if you have big feet and broad hips. The high-intensity LED headlights (£800) are powerful, but there's a gap on full beam, and other cars flash us on dipped. Leather rollover bar cladding for £700? Spend it on two trackdays. The Avon ZZS tyres (£595) are super-grippy in the dry and the naughty tread pattern looks great, but Sevens should be skinnily under-tyred.

A supervolcano is a volcano capable of producing a volcanic eruption with ejecta greater than 1,000 cubic kilometers (240 cubic miles). This is thousands of times larger than most historic volcanic eruptions. Supervolcanoes can occur when magma in the Earth rises into the crust from a hotspot but is unable to break through the crust. Pressure builds in a large and growing magma pool until the crust is unable to contain the pressure. They can also form at convergent plate boundaries (for example, Toba) and continental hotspot locations (for example, Yellowstone).
The Discovery Channel highlighted six known supervolcanoes: the Yellowstone, Long Valley, and Valles Caldera in the United States; Lake Toba, North Sumatra, Indonesia; Taupo Volcano, North Island, New Zealand; and Aira Caldera, Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyūshū, Japan. Although there are only a handful of Quaternary supervolcanoes, supervolcanic eruptions typically cover huge areas with lava and volcanic ash and cause a long-lasting change to weather (such as the triggering of a small ice age) sufficient to threaten theextinction of species.

The number of organic producers in Great Britain grew in 2018, despite a further drop in organic land area according to new figures.
The number of organic farmers grew two per cent, up to 3,544, according to Defra statistics, while organic processors declined to 2,569. Of the organic producers, the bulk are organic crops at 3,244 growers across the UK.
Most organic crops are cereals, at around 40,000 acres, while vegetables come second at around 10,000 hectares in Britain, both of which have declined since the late 2000s, mirroring a general fall in organically farmed land since 2008.
The Organic Research Centre suggested the fall in organic land use indicated a shift from producers away from larger farms.
Roger Kerr, chief executive of Organic Farmers and Growers says the new statistics reflect confidence in the sector. “Continued growth of consumer demand for high-welfare and environmentally friendly produce has seen organic sales increase steadily in the last seven years, which has in turn triggered an increase in organic farm conversions,” Kerr said.
“Organic farming also continues on its positive trajectory on a global scale, with organic land area and producer numbers at an all-time high. Organic land world-wide is growing by 20% annually, and producer numbers are increasing by 5% year-on-year, currently sitting at 2.9m.
“Our producers are achieving good economic returns, even in the current economic and political uncertainty facing the agricultural industry. But with increased regulation of agro-chemicals and potential increases in currency volatility affecting the price of inputs and outputs, many businesses are looking to reduce risk. And with policy signals from Government, farmers are looking at their options, including organic.”

Though not many people are aware of it, productivity anxiety is a widespread form of anxiety that is primarily caused by workload. The condition occurs when a person feels physically or psychologically stressed because they fail to meet the productivity threshold they have set for themselves.
With the world becoming increasingly more competitive, it is common to feel that you aren’t doing enough and thereby experience mental health struggles because of it. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NMIH), nearly 19 percent of adults in the US suffer from an anxiety disorder.
It would benefit any working professional to be able to recognize the major signs of being overworked, how anxiety is linked to it, and the different ways to reduce the chances of those signs and symptoms occurring. Through knowledge, it can be treated in a more timely manner. If you leave productivity anxiety untreated, it will only likely build up over time and will be detrimental to one’s health in the long run.
On the surface, a person with productivity anxiety might be the picture of success. He or she might be the first to reach the office and start working, dressed flawlessly, and with neatly-styled hair. To your coworkers, you are driven in your work, never missed a deadline, or underperformed in a task. In fact, you might always be will willing to help and guide others when required.
However, others might not know that beneath the veil of success, you are constantly trying to deal with anxiety. Your anxiety might stem from the fear of failure, nervous energy, or the fear of disappointing others.
While there are several potential benefits from being productive such as high achievements, being active, and improving your reputation, there are negative effects too. The anxiety surrounding your success might eventually come out.
The Signs of Productivity Anxiety
A high-functioning person is considered an overachiever. Nevertheless, judgment is short-sighted as it fails to consider the struggles of achieving that level of success. Here are a number of challenges you might face in your everyday life if you suffer from productivity anxiety:
- Nervous habits like cracking knuckles, playing with your hair, or biting your lip.
- Being a people pleaser, being afraid of driving people away, or the fear of letting people around you down.
- Working for long periods of crunch after a period of procrastination.
- The inability to say “no,” and always having an overloaded schedule.
- A racing mind.
- A constant need for reassurance.
- Tendency to dwell on the negative. Constantly having to deal with what-if thoughts and past mistakes.
- No or minimal social life. You are always turning down invitations to parties and other social events.
The best way to deal with productivity anxiety is by getting professional help. However, there are other ways to reduce the chances of becoming anxious at work too. Begin by setting aside 10 minutes of your day to focus on your mental wellbeing.
The next step is to make slight lifestyle changes like eating a healthy diet, limiting caffeine, getting regular exercise, and investing in prescription sunglasses for sale online. Sleep hygiene is also quite important. Stick to a regular bedtime, and if you find your mind racing, get up and do something that makes you feel tired and want to rest.
In case you are haunted by a negative thought, try to overcome it by thinking of something more realistic or helpful. Develop coping strategies to deal with nervous habits like chewing your nails and biting your lip. Meditating or practicing breathing and muscle relaxation techniques can help.
Don’t Be Hard on Yourself
If you find yourself struggling with any of the signs mentioned earlier, chances are you suffer from productivity anxiety. The good news is that getting stuck in comparison games, feeling you are not enough, suffering from insomnia, and feeling shame or guilty can all be overcome. The key is to accept your vulnerabilities and be open to changing your life.

All the gas-fired power plants have shut down in Chittagong due to gas crisis. Gas allocated to the power plants is now being supplied to the fertiliser factories.
Resumption of electricity supply from the power plants is uncertain. Electricity crisis in Chittagong has increased manifolds.
Due to gas crisis the government operates the power plants and fertiliser factories alternatively.
An official of the Power Development Board (PDB) said on February 2 supply of gas to all the power plants have been stopped, resulting in the shut down of 150 MW and 60 MW power plants in Shikolbaha.
He said some power crisis has been created in Chittagong but there is no load shedding. Supply of power situation is normal.
The plants need 15 crore mmcfd of gas to generate 350 MW of electricity a day.
