Increasing potassium “may impart a negative effect on drought resistance”
Does adding more potassium improve drought resistance? This article by Rowland et al. takes an in-depth look at that important question.
They looked at bermudagrass (Tifeagle and Tifdwarf), seashore paspalum (SeaDwarf), and zoysia (PristineFlora) grown in a USGA sand rootzone.
The amount of potassium applied to the grass ranged from 4.9 to 19.6 g m-2 30 d-1. Nitrogen was applied at 4.9 g m-2 30 d-1, so that created N:K application ratios of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4. Irrigation was applied at 25, 50, and 100% of daily ETo. Then they measured wilting, soil moisture, root length, turf quality, leaf chlorophyll, normalized difference vegetative index (NDVI), and thatch depth.
One might have expected potassium application, or increasing the amount of potassium applied in relation to nitrogen, to have some positive effect on at least some of these parameters. You might be surprised then, at what actually happened. Rowland et al. report that:
Applying K at ratios above 1N:1K did not increase drought tolerance and may have actually hindered it, as wilting increased (P < 0.10) on two rating dates when 1N:4K was compared to 1N:1K. This was likely due to saturated K levels within the leaf tissue and an increase in soil solution salts.
How about the soil volumetric water content (VWC)?
There were no differences in VWC among N/K ratios.
And that is what was observed in every parameter measured. Whether it was turfgrass quality, NDVI, root length, or thatch depth, adding more potassium didn’t improve anything. They conclude:
Our results indicate that increasing N/K ratios above 1N:1K is not beneficial, and in fact may impart a negative effect on drought resistance.
These results show that when the grass is supplied with enough potassium, adding more does not provide any benefit.

A virtual machine is a logical environment residing inside a computer that allows an operating system to run as if it is a separate computer inside that computer.
A virtual machine uses a specific amount of hard disk and memory to run as a separate machine. In such scenarios the main operating system on which virtual machine is running is called Host Operating System and the virtual operating system is called Guest Operating System. A virtual machine runs in a window on your desktop which you can minimize any time to use your host operating system.
The virtual machine can use all the hardware your host OS is using therefore it works as a full fledged computer. Some good points of using a virtual machine is that:
- If they are attacked by a virus your Host OS is not affected. Which means you can freely use your VM for any thing at all.
- You can run multiple computers which means you can do more work and people who need more than one lappies for themselves can use this to save some amount.
- You can work with a totally different IP
- You can even change MAC address of your VM to access internet.
- There is still much that you have to explore.
What software are available for Virtual Machine?
- VMware Player
- Virtual Box by Oracle
- Windows virtual pc
I have used both 1 and 2. VM ware player is quite easy to use and configure. Virtual Box though is not easy but it gives more configuration options, perhaps that is why noobs like me find it difficult to use and setup.
I normally use virtual machine for running bots and imacros. I run a bot or an imacro script and minimize the window and do my other things on my own host OS. I just do it to reduce mess from my host desktop and to keep my botting and imacro things hidden from people who use my computer. For example if you have firefox in both host and guest machines, you can run only one instance of imacros on one machine so you can use your VM to run one more instance. Similarly you can install any number of virtual machines depending upon the performance of your hardware. You can find it of any use that is suitable to you.

Assembly members of the Lawra Municipal Assembly have for the third time refused to confirm the president’s Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) nominee for the area, Martin Bomba-ire.
The nominee was re-appointed by President Nana Akufo-Addo after failing to secure a win on two earlier separate occasions.
Mr Bomba-ire polled 23 “YES” as against 18 “NO”, thereby being unable to obtain the two-thirds majority of the assembly members as required by the local governance ACT.
He adds up to two other MMDCEs in the Upper West region who were rejected in their earlier appointments.
The two others are Christine Bombanye Amadu of the Jirapa Municipal Assembly and Ali Bukari of the Wa West District Assembly.
Voting for the confirmation of Christine Bombanye is expected later today, while that of the Wa West will be done tomorrow.
The nominees for the Lawra and Jirapa assemblies are said to be facing stiff opposition especially from some members of the governing New Patriotic Party in their respective districts, while that of the Wa West is confronted with opposition from both the governing party and the main opposition National Democratic Congress.

Does Your Business Need High Quality Water Blasting?
Water Blasting Equipment Uses
Preparation Of Surfaces
Water blasting has been used extensively in the industrial and construction sectors as these sites need surfaces to be kept clean for a number of reasons.
One reason is the fact that when there are too many substances on the ground, this can lead to health and safety issues, increasing the chances of accidents occurring.
Surface preparation ensures that all of the contaminants are removed in a short amount of time and with virtually zero waiting time as water blasting equipment ensures that there are no puddles or wet spots which have to dry out before employees can begin working again.
Cleaning Heat Exchangers And Vessel Cleaning
Heat exchangers and vessels can begin to hold a lot of material in it which makes it practically impossible for the devices to operate at an optimum.
If both are not properly cleaned, the downtime in terms of having to wait for them to start working could be longer than when you actually use it.
Total Blasting provides quality water blasting services in order to ensure that your equipment is not faltering or decreasing in use.
The lifespan of your equipment can also be improved bay simply having it properly cleaned out.
Cleaning Of Tubes And Tanks
The same applies here as with surface preparation and heat exchangers and vessel cleaning, when using water blasting equipment to clean tubes and tanks, the goal is to improve the quality of the system, while also increasing the productivity.
Water blasting equipment is designed in order to clean the entire surface of a system, all the nooks and crannies, covering the entire area to ensure that there is no possibility that dirt and such is still left behind.
When sludge passes through certain tubes, remnants of the sludge can get caught inside, blocking the tubes, either stopping the flow of substances or slowing them down.
By not seeking water blasting equipment suppliers, you are doing yourself a disservice as your productivity will most certainly decrease.
Removal Of Marine Growth
The marine sector, working in water, can have a lot of materials and organisms which may become attached to the surface of the structure, which can cause issues such as respiratory issues, something which in the long term will have severe health affects.
Water blasting is able to remove the above mentioned completely, allowing the structure to maintain its cleanliness and ensuring that members on the structure are kept as healthy as possible.
Structures and equipment that have been used in spaces, such as near or on the sea, start to develop issues such as rust and other problems which affect their efficiency.
Whether it be pipes or rigs, water blasting is able to improve the quality of the mechanisms.
Total Blasting is able to remove substances which are affecting the productivity and longevity of equipment and systems by blasting the surface with high pressure water.
Of course, the water will be set to a different pressure depending on the overall need.
By preserving the material, you will be able to improve the way it functions which is the main goal for both your business and Total Blasting.
Receive your water blasting equipment today and maintain your optimal work rate.
Believe it or not, concrete is able to be cut down, whether it be in chunks or into much smaller pieces.
Water blasting equipment is able to cut smaller or larger concrete slabs into different shapes and sizes in order for it to function for its given purpose.
Where Total Blasting focus their efforts primarily on surface preparation, they are also well versed in the art of cutting concrete, helping our business to remove the unwanted parts or to shape it for other purposes.
Decommissioning Nuclear Facilities
Nuclear facilities, especially in certain areas, can hold a lot of radiation and other contaminants which can severely affect a person’s health.
Due to this, there needs to be a way in order to clean and scrub the surface area which holds a high level of radiation.
Surface preparation equipment, which will be used by Total Blasting, is able to be used in order to completely cleanse the space, reducing the risk of contamination, therefore decreasing any life risks attributed to radiation and other airborne contaminants.
This type of job is usually done when a nuclear plant or facility is being decommissioned, which ensures that the spread of radiation is limited, rather than leaving a facility as is, which would increase risk to all surrounding the area.
Paint Grid Cleaning
Paint grids will become covered with dry paint and other substances as time goes on, resulting in its functionality being limited.
As this is the case, the best thing to do is to clean it, restoring it to its former glory, which not only improves its functionality, but it also helps those working on it work far better and easier.
Paint can be very difficult to clean as paint has a lot of properties which allows it to hold onto a surface for long periods of time.
Simply going down on your hands and knees and scrubbing it will not do the job.
By using water blasting equipment the entire grid will be cleaned in a few moments right in front of your eyes.
Filter Press Cleaning
If you think about a filter press in the same way as a tube, or even as the above mentioned paint grid, substances will block the flow of the filter, as well as limiting the way it functions.
A filter press is designed to filter out materials which are not needed, while allowing substances which are needed to get to the other side.
Total Blasting is able to clean out the filter press in a way which will get it back to filtering a system the right way, decreasing any negative materials from passing through, as well as removing any sludge in the device.
Water Blasting Benefits
Removal Of Contaminants From The Air
Harmful contaminants have a negative effect on the entire process of a job on the site. When it comes to some industries, such as the industrial and construction industries, there cannot be any contaminants flowing in the air which may be detrimental to employees.
Not only will their lives be in danger in some instances, where in some cases only minor inconveniences may occur, there is also the issue of delays in work as your staff will be off recovering.
Water blasting equipment suppliers provide top quality high pressure blasting devices which will helps to remove the contaminants in the air by doing a full clean of the site, decreasing the chances of any health and safety problems occurring.
Low Water Consumption
You may think that water blasting equipment uses high levels of water, however, rather than use large amounts of water, such as something like an irrigation system, the focus is on the high pressure of the water.
The entire purpose of the use of the equipment is to use the last amount of water in the most effective way possible, removing unwanted materials and cleaning surfaces.
As mentioned above, the fact that there are no wet spots or puddles, indicates that the amount of water used is much lower than you may believe.
This is good in the sense that Total Blasting is using water in a responsible way, ensuring that water conservation is in the plans at all times.
This goes for all water blasting, including surface preparation, as the design allows for fast drying, getting your employees back to work as fast as possible.
Adding to the above, the overall wait is much less than if you were to have to get scrubbers in, which will take up a whole lot more time than using a water blasting company.
Of course, there will be some downtime, however, the speed and precision of water blasting equipment makes it a shorter wait.
On top of this, the time it takes for surface preparation to dry after the task is complete is fairly short.
Make the right decision and contact Total Blasting today for your water blasting needs.
Lower Labour Force
The use of Total Blasting requires a smaller amount of labour than if you were to try and do the job on your own.
This is with both scrubbing on your own and if you receive water blasters without proper training.
The team at Total Blasting is experienced in both the service and in training those to apply the blasting, within efficiency and in terms of safety.
The best thing for you to do is ensure that you are getting your water blasting equipment from a business that prides themselves on high quality devices and results.
Indoor And Outdoor Uses
The practicality and convenience of using water blasting equipment is the fact that they are able to be used both indoor and outdoor.
The advantage to this is that if you own a factory or plant, and need to get both the outside area, and an internal space cleaned, you will be getting both done one after the other, without the need to wait for another service to come through.
On top of this you will also be getting the same quality of service, which will ensure that the overall standards of your space, in and out, are uniform.
Total Blasting provides comprehensive training for their own staff and anyone looking to understand the correct way to use water blasting equipment.
What this does is allow for a complete understanding of how these devices are used, how they operate, any adjustments, and more importantly on how to safely use them.
The business believes that although their service may seem easy, knowing the dangers behind what exactly you are doing will better prepare you to actually utilise it.
On top of this, a professional understanding of the device will allow you to use it to its full potential, maximising the effectiveness of the surface preparation equipment.
The more you know the better it will be for both you and your employees.
Alongside the actual water blasting equipment comes a whole host of other accessories, both for the equipment itself, as well as those who are using it.
The reason for these accessories, such as for the equipment, is to get into areas which may be harder to reach, allowing for a full clean during surface preparation or machine cleaning.
In terms of the accessories for those using it, there will be specially designed suits and shoes, including face masks and helmets, which need to worn at all times when the equipment is in use.
The shoes are made with steel covers, with gloves having the same design, stopping nay accidents from occurring when using the high pressure water blasting equipment.
Health And Safety Checks
Before even using the equipment, there will be safety checks done, including warnings made, as to vocalise the need for space between the water blasting equipment and the area which it will be hitting.
Water blasting equipment suppliers, such as Total Blasting, will always highlight the need for safe precautions to be taken.
This is because if those using the device, and those around it, are not wearing the correct clothing, or if there are people in the area, there will be severe consequences.
Before using the equipment, make sure that the area is cleared and those around are wearing the right attire.

The Thing is coming for you! But you don’t know which one of your friends is The Thing! Paranoia… gore… body horror… and all of the above recently retold from The Thing’s point of view.
It’s an interesting chain: the original short story from the 1930s, a
B-movie adaptation in the 1950s, a gore/paranoia-fest of a movie remake
in the 1980s, and just this year, a short story retelling the 80s movie
by noted Canadian SF author Peter Watts. And Watts caps it with a bang!
I won’t say much about the first two items: “Who Goes There?”, written by John W. Campbell, Jr. in 1938 (available here from fansite Outpost 31), and The Thing From Another World, the movie from 1951. Campbell’s story is definitely a famous one, foundational to a great deal of the genre work after it, but it’s written in a style that’s more dated than I thought it would be. Likewise, the first movie from the 50s: it’s known for being one of the best of the wave of B-movies of the time, but that’s a pinnacle that only reaches so high. Especially for jaded modern audiences.
Interestingly, The Thing, directed by John Carpenter in 1982, is a bit out of sync with the expectations of modern movie-goers as well. Briefly: a group of scientists in an Antarctic research facility are attacked by a shape-changing alien. Any one of them could already have been replaced – who is really human and who is an evil alien bent on their destruction? The movie was notorious at the time for its gory special effects (Ebert’s review, as always, is a useful look back at how a movie was regarded in its time), but for fans of splatter flicks, the movie is loaded down with useless things like character development and the puzzling matter of who to trust. On the other hand, if you are a fan of paranoia/puzzle films, the movie is a little too light on essential clues like… who’s doing what, which guy is who (the character names, treated like news from on high, whizz by incomprehensibly), and so on. I guess I have this idea that movies have gotten more specialized; in any case, The Thing is a generalist of a movie that tries to straddle gore and paranoia, and falls between the two.
Along comes Peter Watts. His short story, “The Things”, was published in Clarkesworld Magazine in its January 2010 issue, and is freely available online. I’m not quite sure how to describe this story: the hook is that it retells the John Carpenter movie from the point of view of the alien.
Is it fan fiction? Of a sort I guess. But I can’t think of another story like this that goes back into the guts of a throwaway genre flick from the 80s with the intent of fixing it so rigourously. Maybe fixing is not the correct concept here, although Watts’ interstitial version actually makes the movie make sense! More precisely: Watts add the horror back in, the horror that went missing after 3 decades of ever-gorier movies that have all tried to outdo the movie before it, but instead just ruined the usefulness of said techniques. And how does Watts do that? By fucking with your mind – a phrase I wouldn’t necessarily use for a story by any other author. Somehow it suits Watts though, and this is a story that definitely calls for a little profanity.
A proper mindfuck of a story requires that you get the details absolutely correct, and Watts clearly did his homework, both about the movie (in the comments on Clarkesworld, Watts says he had the Carpenter movie on repeat in the background as he was writing, and you can tell) and about what might be actually scary about a shape-changing alien arriving on our planet. The change from singular to plural is the key here: the alien is horrified by us, by the whole idea of things that are separate from one another. Faced with the gift of communion and infinite adaptation, we humans respond with violence and retreat into our isolated, finite existences.
Watts seems to be on a roll lately with his short stories/novellas. His novella, “The Island” (available here), won the Hugo Award this year, and “The Things” is picking up quite a bit of steam as well. And I must say, I kinda prefer this shorter format to his novels. I liked his books, but Watts never seemed interested in creating… what I will call a pleasant reading experience, as the nicest way I can put it. On the home page of his site, Watts proudly displays the following quote from James Nicoll: “Whenever I find my will to live becoming too strong, I read Peter Watts.” To put it another way, reading Watts at a shorter length feels like “He’s effing with my mind, dude!”, whereas the novel length feels more like the ironic truth from Nicoll’s quotation. Weirdly, Watts has been working on a videogame project with Richard Morgan and Crytek. I’m very curious to read that book, since I have no idea what it will be like!

Just before 1 pm on Tuesday, a sophomore at Oxford High School in Oxford Township, Michigan, opened fire on his classmates, killing three students and injuring eight others.
According to the Associated Press, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said that the 15-year-old shooter used his father's newly purchased 9 mm Sig Sauer in the shooting. Bouchard also noted that the suspect had practiced shooting the gun and even shared pictures of "the target and the weapon" online.
The three students killed in the incident were 16-year-old Tate Myre, 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana, and 17-year-old Madisyn Baldwin. According to Bouchard, Myre died while being transported to the hospital in a deputy's patrol car.
At this time, the motive behind the shooting is unknown, but police have the shooter, whose name has not yet been released, in custody, and an investigation is underway. Charges are expected to be filed quickly.
The suspect reportedly had no prior run-ins with the law, and police are unaware of any disciplinary actions on his school record.
"That's part of our investigation to determine what happened prior to this event and if some signs were missed, how were they missed and why," Bouchard said.
Following the incident, police were made aware that threats of a shooting at the school were allegedly circulating social media. Bouchard urged others to immediately contact the police if they hear threats of violence at their own schools.
In a statement on Tuesday, Bouchard shared that deputies entered the school and arrested the suspect almost immediately after their arrival. The suspect was leaving a bathroom while still holding his loaded gun when police managed to apprehend him.
"I believe they literally saved lives having taken down the suspect with a loaded firearm while still in the building," Bouchard said.
After the attack, the school was placed on lockdown and students sheltered in locked classrooms as police searched the campus. The students were later brought to a nearby grocery store to be picked up by their parents.
According to a statement from the school district, all of its schools will be closed for the remainder of the week.
President Joe Biden, who was preparing to deliver remarks at a Rosemount, Minnesota community college, offered his condolences to the victims' families. He said, "As we learn the full details, my heart goes out to the families enduring the unimaginable grief of losing a loved one."

Thanks to some of the recent movies he has acted in, Tollywood’s macho hunk Rana Daggubati has been aptly given the title ‘War Star’ by his fans and industrywallahs. After Baahubali and Ghazi, Rana is now busy shooting for yet another period movie with a war backdrop.
Last night, Rana took to his Twitter profile and tweeted, “From one period to another.1971-1945 filming for my next which is a tale of a soldier who fought for independence during the British Raj!!” Rana also revealed that this film is going to be a complete fiction unlike Ghazi.
Tentatively titled 1945, this Tamil-Telugu bilingual also has Regina, Nassar and Satyaraj in prominent roles. Sathyasiva is directing this movie and SN Rajarajan is producing it.

Appeal After Woman Attacked In Bournemouth
Detectives in Bournemouth are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a woman was allegedly assaulted in the town – with three men being arrested.
The incident, in which a 25-year-old woman sustained cuts, bruises and a broken arm, happened along Portchester Place just before 9pm on Sunday, 10 April 2011.
The victim, from Bournemouth, was treated at Poole Hospital.
Detective Constable Paul Chessell, of Bournemouth and Poole CID, said: “I understand that an earlier altercation took place between several men along nearby Holdenhurst Road.
“The victim sustained her injuries after she attempted to assist a man involved in this confrontation.”
Three Bournemouth men, aged 25, 27 and 28, were arrested and have been released on police bail while enquiries continue.
DC Chessell continued: “I am appealing for anyone who witnessed this incident, and anyone who saw any suspicious activity in this area at around 9pm on Sunday evening, to contact me as soon as possible.
“The injured woman has suffered from a nasty break to her arm and it’s important that I establish exactly what happened.”
Witnesses and anyone with information should call Dorset Police in confidence on 01202 22 22 22 quoting incident number 10:475. Alternatively, call the free and anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111 where mobile phone tariffs may apply.

HOOVER, Alabama - Micah Mandes has loved the game of baseball ever since he was a little boy, watching his older cousin play high school ball.
As he was growing up, he would fall asleep listening to the Atlanta Braves baseball announcer Ernie Johnson on the radio.
But Mandes was born with a severe lung disorder and suffered a stroke while on a ventilator as a newborn, leaving with him limited motor skills and a mild-to-moderate developmental delay. That has limited his options when it comes to playing baseball.
That's why his parents are so thankful the city of Hoover was willing to go to bat, so to speak, for children and adults with disabilities by opening the Over the Mountain Miracle League baseball field at Hoover Sports Park East.
Today was opening day for the new league, and hundreds of people gathered at the park for the ribbon cutting and first two games.
Smiles spread across the faces of the disabled children and adults as they took their turns at the plate, hitting the ball and heading around the bases. It was clear most of them were thrilled to be taking part in America's favorite past-time.
One man beamed as a group of Little League ball players chanted his name as he came to the plate to hit. Many of the players raised their hands in victory after rounding the bases and crossing home plate.
"I think it's something really fun," said 18-year-old Christopher Hale of Hoover. "It's been a blast. I really like it. I think I'm going to keep doing it."
Mandes, who is 25, played in a Miracle League in the Pensacola area years ago, but he hasn't played since his family moved to Hoover about four years ago, his mother, Jan Mandes, said. "We're really glad to be back and playing again," she said. "They've done a great job putting this together."
Once children with disabilities turn 21 and age out of school sports, they don't have a lot of options for sports and social interaction activities, Jan Mandes said.
"There's just not much out them for them," she said. "This just fills a huge gap."
The Over the Mountain Miracle League is open to children and adults of all ages and from any area. Those on the field in Hoover today ranged from about age 5 to several in their 50s. Most of the players have a volunteer "buddy" to assist them as needed.
Ben Lord, president of the Hoover Parks and Recreation Board, told the crowd gathered today that he knows many great memories will be made at the Miracle League field. Shay Hammond, a Bluff Park woman who has helped lead the effort to make the Miracle Field a reality for about three years, thanked city officials and the many volunteers who made today possible.
The Miracle League field's synthetic rubber-like surface is designed so that any person can participate, including those in walkers and wheelchairs.
"Anybody can play on this field, no matter what condition they're in," said Mark McDonald of McCalla, whose 38-year-old son, Mark McDonald Jr., uses a wheelchair.
The younger McDonald was very excited when his parents told him he was registered to play baseball, his mother, Janet McDonald said. "We think this is fabulous," she said. "This is an answered prayer really."
Chris and Pam Tyndal of Mountain Brook said they're thankful the city of Hoover and other donors made the investment. Their 15-year-old son, Brian, was diagnosed with a condition called ataxia, which limits his coordination and fine motor skills.
Brian played in a Miracle League in Moody for the first time last year, but it's a 30-minute drive for them, his parents said. Having one in Hoover is so much closer and can benefit more people in this area, they said.
Brian loves the opportunity to play baseball, they said.
"It just made him feel very proud and very happy he could be on a team and play baseball like every other kid," Pam Tyndal said. "As a parent, you feel like that's something you're missing. You don't get to be at the ballpark."
Every parent should be able to experience being at the park and cheering their child on, she said. When Brian got his first hit - all by himself, it gave her chills all over, she said.
Jackson Treadwell, a 7-year-old boy from Homewood, has cerebral palsy, and today was his first time ever to play in an organized sport.
"He has been so excited to wear the hat and the shirt and play today," his mother, Leah Treadwell, said. "He's pumped to be a part of this today."
When they got out of the car at the park, he asked his mother for the black marks to put under his eyes so he could look like a real baseball player, she said. They didn't go that far today, but they might do it another time, she said.
When Jackson got his first hit today, he ran to first base and then ran back near the on-deck circle to get the crowd to cheer for him again.
"This boy loves to hear his name called and be cheered for," his mom said.
Today was the first of three Sundays for a short fall season for the Over the Mountain Miracle League. For the next two Sundays, games are scheduled for 1, 3 and 4:30 p.m. People are encouraged to come watch and cheer for the players.
A longer baseball season will take place in the spring, league organizers said.

EPSOM SALT (MAGNESIUM SULFATE)
Magnesium is found in abundance in the body and can be purchased both as a dietary supplement and also for therapeutic use in soaking salts. We use USP (pharmaceutical grade) epsom salt in our bath salts to guarantee the highest quality, purity, and potency. Magnesium can support circulation, ease sore muscles, help to relieve minor aches and pains/swelling/tension/restlessness and promote relaxation of the mind and body. Soaking for a minimum of 15 minutes will help the body absorb more magnesium for greater benefit.
SEA SALT (SODIUM CHLORIDE)
We use the highest quality food grade Pacific sea salt from the California coat. Sea salt softens the water, and thus helps to soften the skin while cleansing, and detoxifying. Sea salt also supports minor aches and pains, promotes circulation, calms irritation, and is especially beneficial for dry and/or itchy skin.
FRENCH GREEN CLAY (MONTMORILLONITE)
Our French green clay comes from naturally occurring clay deposits in France, is untreated and has a lovely soft texture. Green clay is rich in silica, magnesium, iron, and calcium and is gently exfoliating and detoxifying. French green clay is drawing, pulling out impurities and toxins while balancing excess oil. Its astringent action creates circulation and brings oxygen to the surface of the skin, minimizing the appearance of pores for a glowing, soft and balanced complexion.
ORGANIC & FAIR TRADE MATCHA GREEN TEA (CAMELLIA SINENSIS)
The cultivation of green tea dates back to the 7th century with the Tang Dynasty in China. The Japanese perfected the cultivation of Matcha, and it has been part of their culture for over 800 years. Matcha means "ground tea" and the shade grown process that happens 2-4 weeks before harvest increases the plants chlorophyll and L-theanine production. Matcha contains very high levels of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a powerful compound in green tea that helps protect the skin from environmental damage, supports a healthy inflammatory response and promotes even skin tone. Matcha can help reduce puffiness, and work to clear up blemishes and tighten the pores. The high antioxidant activity of matcha supports oily skin, fights acne causing bacteria, and increases circulation and blood flow for glowing skin.
ORGANIC EUCALYPTUS ESSENTIAL OIL (EUCALYPTUS GLOBULUS)
Eucalyptus (also called Tasmanian Blue Gum) is a tall evergreen tree native to Australia. Our eucalyptus oil is extracted from the leaf using the steam distillation method. Eucalyptus has a camphoraceous, strong, woodsy, herbaceous and fresh aroma. It is cooling, calming, and invigorating. Eucalyptus is an analgesic (pain reliever) and supports burns and infections. It also supports the respiratory system, and promotes immune stimulation.
ORGANIC LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL (LAVANDULA ANGUSTIFOLIA)
Lavender (also known as True Lavender, and English Lavender) is a true beauty with a rich history growing wild in the Mediterranean. Our lavender oil is extracted from the flower using the steam distillation method. Lavender has a fresh, sweet, herbaceous, floral and slightly fruity scent and is balancing, calming, relaxing, and soothing.
ORGANIC SWEET ORANGE ESSENTIAL OIL (CITRUS SINENSIS)
Our sweet orange essential oil is extracted using the cold-pressed method. Native to China and India, the United States is now one of the world's largest producers of the fruit. Historically, oranges symbolize generosity, prosperity, and happiness, which makes sense considering that orange essential oil has an uplifting, brightening, fruity and sweet aroma. Sweet orange oil can promotes circulation, is anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antibacterial. It is also a disinfectant and stimulant (lymphatic).

Not much of a bio, but hey... I do love a nice cup of coffee P.S. I love adding extra sugar
A story of the past, knowledge for the present, a path for a beginning "'Tis a myth", the bards singing, "Dragons in thrones, devils in sins", Now where will this conquest begin. Should we start in a small town Or the kingdom where the king frowns The protagonist, a famished farmer Or the wealthy heir of a tyrant emperor Let the naive one be the victor. The story moves on though the message reaches the masses As the conquest carries a toll, Of courage, riches, death and mysteries untold He now stands at the edge of the world in completion of his conquest But left with nothing other than blood and gore so now raising a tempest. "Is he still alive", asks the little one To a wise man under the shades of the banian "'Tis a myth", the bards singing, "Dragons in thrones, devils in sins", "Sighs" the old man, says with a feeble grin "Now when will your journey begin".

text: I've spent the last few days going through the early Elton John discography (through 1976 or so) and have to say that I'm once again thoroughly blown away by the bass playing of Dee Murray. There are so many songs that I can point to, but in particular, the bass line to the last track of Elton's 1973 masterpiece "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road"...Harmony. It's eloquent in its form, just right for the track to move it and establish the sonic foundation in the track. And the ending! I'm not great at identifying scales and modes but the way the bass line in the ending tracks is incredible. (This song is incredible songwriting in it's own right - it was slated to be a single but wound up being the B side to the single "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road") PS And if you REALLY want to be blown away, listen to Dee's fretless bass lines on 17/11/70...this was a THREE piece ensemble, Elton, Dee, and Nigel Ollsen on drums. KILLER!

- 1 cup steel-cut oats*
- 3 cups filtered water
- ¼ tsp. Himalayan salt
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1-2 tsp. raw, unfiltered honey
- 1 tbsp. coconut oil, cold-filtered, unrefined
- ¼ cup roasted almonds
- 2 tbsp. toasted unsweetened coconut flakes
- 2 servings protein powder of choice**
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 banana, sliced
*This recipe can also be made with gluten-free rolled oats for a faster, gluten-free version made in the microwave; however, the water measurements will change.
**If you don’t like the taste of your protein powder, you won’t like the taste of this recipe. Step 1: find a protein powder you enjoy! In this recipe, we used Vital Farms Collagen Peptides, no flavor.
- Bring water and salt to a boil. Then add in the oats, stir and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 10-20 minutes depending on how mushy you like it.
- Remove from the heat and let cool. Stir in the honey, coconut oil, cinnamon and protein powder. Stir until well combined. You want to make sure to let the oats cool before stirring in the protein powder. Sometimes the protein can get clumpy if it’s too hot.
- Garnish with ¼ cup blueberries, ¼ banana slices, ½ tbsp. coconut flakes, 1 tbsp. almonds and a drizzle of honey.
- Serve immediately. You can store the leftovers in individual-serving size Tupperware for easy grab-and-go breakfasts for the following three days. Keep in fridge. When ready to eat, reheat in microwave or on stovetop. Feel free to switch up the flavors by adding fresh fruit, unsweetened dried fruit or chia seeds on top.

I'll admit, I heard about this story and immediately became a fun of Munroe on Facebook.
This morning I was watching Fox News (at the gym, I'm sorry, I needed something) and two lawyers were arguing about it. One said it's not a free speech issue, just like teachers making comments about how sexy students looked on Facebook was not a free speech issue.
Uh, duh on the second one. But I fail to see the connection between saying one unidentified student among 100 is frightfully dim and telling a very much identifiable student, while speaking as a teacher, that the backless dress makes me want you, or whatever comments these moronic teachers are making. Of COURSE that's not OK. And it's not even remotely the same as the teacher anonymously complaining about anonymous students. Which the second, much more aware lawyer pointed out.
But, first lawyer argued, free speech doesn't cover everything. You can't yell "Fire!" in a crowded theater.
Except you can if there's a fire in a crowded theater. Want to hear some of Ms. Munroe's comments?
- "I hear the trash company is hiring."
- "I called out sick a couple of days just to avoid your son."
- "Just as bad as his sibling. Don't you know how to raise kids?"
- "Asked too many questions and took too long to ask them. The bell means it's time to leave!"
- "Nowhere near as good as her sibling. Are you sure they're related?"
- "Shy isn't cute in 11th grade; it's annoying. Must learn to advocate for himself instead of having Mommy do it."
- "Too smart for her own good and refuses to play the school 'game' such that she'll never live up to her true potential here."
- "Am concerned that your kid is going to come in one day and open fire on the school. (Wish I was kidding.)
From a free speech perspective, yes, the woman is protected. Sure, maybe, as other articles say, it was in bad taste. But bad taste is absolutely protected; in fact, the First Amendment is around to protect things that are tasteless, classless and potentially offensive.
But, and in my mind, this is even more important than her basic free speech issue: if it's the truth, shouldn't you be able to say it?
And isn't what she said the truth?

New and hot in modern American is Tuome (536 E. Fifth St.), where chef Thomas Chen is serving a seven-course prix fixe menu ($95, $125 with Champagne toast) that includes duck with sunchoke and chinkiang gastrique , and a Chinese beignet with goat’s milk caramel.
WD-50 may be a footnote in NYC culinary history, but chef Wylie Dufresne can still be found at his East Village restaurant Alder (157 Second Ave.) For New Year’s, he’s taking diners on a culinary tour of NYC through dishes inspired by the city’s neighborhoods ($125, add $75 for drink pairing).
The five-course Austrian spread at Edi & the Wolf (102 Ave. C) caught our eye with a bone marrow-crusted ribeye and yuzu strudel ($85-$105).

This year’s International Market Briefing (IMB) at AACC Clinical Lab Expo in Houston was a fitting transition. 17 years ago Herb Burklund of Scherago and Jerry Goldsmith, former Vice-President of the AACC, created this informative programme as a value-added service to exhibitors – and it grew from 75 attendees in the first year to 600-700 dedicated participants over the past few years. The quality of the information presented at the 2013 session was, perhaps, the best of the best and a testament to Herb as he departs.
‘International’ has meant different things to different people, now that Clinical Lab Expo includes many non-US companies. As an example, since 2010, the Chinese exhibitors have grown from 26 to 82 companies. To them, China is not international, but Europe is.
So this year Europe was included as an International Market, and Dr Juergen Schultze, President of the EDMA, presented the market data that is gathered and shared amongst companies who send in their sales data to the European Diagnostics Association, comparing country-by-country and segment-by-segment results.
In these troubled times in Europe, he compared the declines. Overall, European IVD (in vitro device) sales declined 2-3% in 2012, and are expected to decline again for 2013. The biggest markets, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, all showed declines, but Greece, Poland, and Portugal were more severely hit with declines in double digits.
The upside is that several countries expect to grow in 2013, with Poland and the Czech Republic leading the way.
‘How the Small Fish Swims in a Sea with Big Fishes’ was the title for the presentation by Stefano Gradi, former Director of International Sales for Diesse, Italy, and founder of IVY Diagnostics, srl. He presented data on the ‘fastest five’ Southeast Asian markets – Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam – and compared their growth and industrialisation with China and Singapore. These five countries have common characteristics of growing consumer expectations, aging populations, lower cost, skilled workforce, the rise of academic medical centres, government incentives for improved healthcare, and a large population of young people graduating from the universities. For comparison the US spends 14% of government budget on education while these countries average 18%. The most striking similarity of these countries is their diversity within.
While the total IVD market is still very small compared with developed countries and China, Stefano’s recommendation was to get in early and establish the brand. As opposed to the West, where ‘Self-actualisation’ is at the top of the motivation pyramid, for people in these countries, ‘Status’ is at the top.
Once again, Greg Stutman, Vice-President of Boston Biomedical Consultants, analysed the changes in the IVD markets worldwide and compared 2012 to 2011. He confirmed that the growth in the emerging developing markets were what was keeping IVD companies afloat as the developed markets matured and were affected by pricing, austerity measures and growing market consolidation. Greg forecasted that the total IVD market would grow by 5% CAGR from $49.2 billion to $62.8 billion from 2012 to 2017, led by the emerging markets, which are predicted to be larger than the US market by 2017. By segment categories, ‘Infectious Disease and Blood Processing’, ‘Select IA segments’, ‘Haematology and Coagulation’, and ‘Emerging/Novel’ (which includes molecular) will lead the way with above 5% growth. Diabetes, which has suffered the worst declines, will continue to lag.
Noel Maria Adachi, Vice President of CAP International, talked about the growing demands for increased quality in the developing markets as incomes in those regions have increased. Government regulators have been implementing new requirements. She focused on the largest developing markets of China and India, the components of quality certification and how IVD companies can help laboratories comply, whether certified by CAP, China National Accreditation Service, or other certifications and quality control monitors. The CAP V-P discussed where most of the laboratories’ errors occur and how IVD companies can help the customer understand and control. Manufacturers must play a larger role in educating and designing products and services that improve and control quality in the hands of the users in the developing markets.
High expectations: POCT
With a market growing faster than central lab markets in the developing world, Point of Care (POCT) was the subject of David James of Invetec, one of the sponsors of IMB. He defined POCT as ‘fast results from minimally invasive sampling methods, using affordable consumables’. He described a cycle of expectations that start with ‘technology triggers’, proceed to ‘peak of inflated expectations’, then a ‘trough of disillusionment’, and on to the productive part of the curve he called ‘slope of enlightenment’ and then on to the ‘plateau of productivity’. With the developing market so price sensitive and the populations and potential demands so large, he discussed the benefits to cost of the increasing demand for consumables like test cartridges. His message was to include most of the complexities in the instrument and keep the consumable simple and easy to manufacture, so as to take advantage of economies of scale. Herb Burklund wrapped up the session with a sentimental [address] and a wish for the meeting to continue and flourish. The annual evaluation and suggestion survey of attendees is not yet in, but the expectation is that the 2013 edition will rank high.

Coca-Cola bottles are being used for more than just drinking lately. The world-renowned cola company is repurposing the bottles for its latest campaign called '2ndLives,' which is based out of Vietnam.
The campaign involves the launching of 16 new innovative bottle caps that allow bottles to be turned into a completely new object. Each re-invented bottle has a simple concept but is truly deemed useful -- especially in less prosperous countries like Vietnam.
The different functioning caps turn the bottles into things like a paintbrush, a water spray bottle, a pencil sharpener, a lamp and squeeze bottle. According to the soft drink giant, it will be giving away 40,000 of the caps in Vietnam and then move onto other countries, which have yet to be named.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (Legal Newsline) – A New Jersey jury has found in favor of a Vernoa couple and ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay them $26 million of a $37 million verdict following a trial over traces of asbestos in the company’s baby powder.
But Roger Williams University School of Law professor, David A. Logan still thinks the proverbial jury largely remains out in terms of how courts may come to view these mesothelioma cases going forward.
“Some juries may continue to be sympathetic in these kinds of cases, while others may see things entirely differently,” Logan told Legal Newline. “We have ovarian cancer verdicts, and now a few mesothelioma ones, but I don’t think we’re to the point where you’ll see companies start to settle these kinds of cases.”
Logan intimated that over time, he wouldn’t be terribly surprised to see a pattern of rulings in such cases come to resemble the tobacco-related litigation of the early 2000s.
“At first, all the first-party defendants were hit pretty hard by all those rulings,” he said. “But over time, it became harder and harder to get juries to reach the same kinds of verdicts in instances of second-hand smoke, even though many of the elements in the two kinds of cases were the same.”
In the Johnson & Johnson asbestos case, banker Stephen Lanzo became the first plaintiff to successfully sue Johnson & Johnson in a case in which a victim alleged that he or she contracted mesothelioma from using the company’s baby powder products. The verdict was issued April 5.
Lanzo and his wife, Kendra, filed suit in 2016, alleging that the Johnson & Johnson baby powder products he used from the time he was a child led to him contracting the rare form of cancer he was diagnosed with in 2014. The suit sought damages from the New Jersey-based company and its talc supplier, Imerys Talc America.
During the two-month trial, Lanzo’s attorney, Moshe Maimon of New York-based Levy Konigsberg, told the Middlesex County Superior Court jury for years Johnson & Johnson lied to federal regulators about the presence of asbestos in its talcum powder products and his client has now been given less than three years to live.
A second phase of the trial is set to be held later this month for the jury to consider punitive damages. With the initial $37 million verdict, Johnson was ordered to pay out nearly $26 million, with the remainder of the award coming from Imerys.
“I don’t think you can make a list of intimate-use products people expect to be much safer than baby powder,” Logan said. “On top of that, any allegation of asbestos having made its way into products post-1970 will probably strike most juries as being pretty negligent.”
Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that forms in the thin protective tissue covering the lungs and abdomen. It’s caused almost exclusively by exposure to asbestos.
In rendering its verdict, the jury found that Lanzo was exposed to the deadly toxins over three decades beginning in 1972. The jury also found that Johnson & Johnson neglected to warn the public of its dangerous product.
Maimon further told the court that his nonsmoking client never worked in any occupation that might expose him to asbestos and that the type of asbestos detected in his samples matched the kind reported to be present in Johnson & Johnson’s talc products.
Attorneys for Johnson argued during trial that Lanzo was exposed to the deadly toxins in his childhood home and that the New Jersey and Northern California areas he has called home are known to have high rates of asbestos, while the purported link between talc products and mesothelioma has proven to be based on faulty testing methods, a small sample size and studies now widely considered to be obsolete.
“Even deep-pocket companies like Johnson have trouble with these kinds of verdicts,” Logan said. “There will be conversations about the trial approach going forward once the punitive part comes out. It takes a toll in more ways than one. For a corporation, every day you’re looking backwards, every moment you spend defending what’s already past is time you’re spending not doing what made you a powerhouse to begin with.”
Still, Logan said too much shouldn’t be made of the fact the Lanzo verdict was rendered just a stone’s throw away from J&J's corporate headquarters in New Jersey.
“Certain jurisdictions are known to be friendlier than others,” Logan said. “New Jersey is Johnson’s home state, but it’s also a pretty progressive place for such litigation.”
Overall, more than 6,600 women have also sued Johnson alleging that they contracted ovarian cancer from using its powder products, leading to payout verdicts ranging from $55 million to $417 million over the last two years alone.
Bloomberg reports Imerys officials said they plan to appeal the Lanzo verdict.
In a statement, Johnson & Johnson Global Media Relations spokesperson Carol Goodrich told Legal Newsline, “while we are disappointed with this decision, the jury has further deliberations to conduct in this trial and we will reserve additional comment until the case is fully completed.”
