What Is Inflammation?
Acute inflammation is necessary. Inflammation is the body's attempt at self-protection; the aim being to remove harmful stimuli, including damaged cells, irritants, or pathogens to begin the healing process. A simple example is a sprained ankle. After an injury, the ankle swells up because it is supposed to. We are not able to nor are we supposed to continue to run around on it. We have just torn tendons and ligaments and they need time to heal. We limp around on it for a few days, depending on the severity of the sprain. The swelling begins to go down as the tissue is repairing. The body heals and the acute inflammation is finished.
We can also develop acute inflammation to help the body fend off bacteria, viruses, other pathogens, damaged cells, or other irritants. People who have suffered from a flu virus understand the symptoms of this acute inflammation. Body temperature rises, the body has aches and pains, the head is pounding are all symptoms from acute inflammation.
After you cut your finger and the bleeding is stopped there is still increased blood flow to a body area to bring in immune system support and tissue repair support. That is the redness you can see around the cut. The body does this to begin an inflammatory process that neutralizes harmful microorganisms, helps to repair the tissue, and cleans up the debris resulting from the injury.
The body can heal from a sprained ankle, a viral infection, or a cut on our finger because of its inborn intelligence. This inborn intelligence is something we all have within us, from the moment of our creation until we die. It is always working; not only to keep us alive, but to also keep us healthy. It does so magnificently if put in the right ingredients and not too many of the wrong ingredients.
Researchers have known for some time now that the cornerstone of almost all chronic health conditions is chronic inflammation. Unfortunately, most Americans suffer from chronic inflammation, caused by a variety of factors that seriously undermine health and ages us prematurely. Resulting from an “inflammatory cascade,” common inflammatory diseases include allergies, Alzheimer’s, asthma, arthritis, autoimmune diseases, bursitis, cancer, cervicitis, colitis, cystitis, diabetes, gastritis, heart disease, hepatitis, infections, myocarditis, nephritis, neuritis, osteoporosis, prostatitis, and sinusitis… any disease we know is Chronic Inflammation. Inflammation is beneficial when needed, but it is disastrous when chronic.
It is not the passage of time that creates the symptoms of aging and degeneration that we feel. It is the accumulation of damage from stress that causes chronic inflammation. The stressors are numerous but can be summarized under three main categories. Physical, Chemical, and Emotional. It is the build-up of stress that our cells do not have the health to handle. Our cells make up our tissues, our tissues make up our organs, our organs make up our organ systems, and our organ systems make up our body as a whole person. To be healthy we must reduce the effects of stress and inflammation at a cellular level.
There is no benefit to chronic inflammation. Chronic, low level inflammation, is like a slow burning, smoldering flame in the body. It causes tissue damage and destruction. When we get enough inflammatory damage in a tissue, an organ or a system we get a diagnosis of a disease. Cytokines are chemicals that your immune cells release to begin an inflammatory process. They should be short lived as in acute inflammation. They should be but poor diet, digestive problems, too much sugar, insomnia, environmental toxins, chronic exposure to bad bacteria, emotional stress, food sensitivities, and too much body fat can promote excess cytokine production. These chronic stressors create a “inflammatory cascade”. Too much cytokine production leads to systemic inflammation which is inflammation all over the body. This keeps your tissues chronically inflamed and prevents healing. This is why chronic inflammation is the underlying cause of almost all chronic diseases. Chronic inflammation is also the common denominator in chronic pain. Almost all people who have chronic health problems also suffer from chronic pain. Unfortunately, most Americans suffer from chronic inflammation, caused by a variety of factors that seriously undermine health and ages us prematurely. Chronic inflammation means that the immune system has become over stressed and confused over time. It’s called “Inflamm-Aging.
How Do We Develop Chronic Inflammation?
There are several reasons why chronic inflammation goes out of control. We are going to start with a primary contributor.
“All disease begins in the Gut”
More than 2,000 years ago the father of modern medicine Hippocrates said, “All disease begins in the Gut” and research is now proven he was mostly right. To understand and eliminate most chronic inflammation, we need to start with where most the immune system lives in the body. 70%-80% of the entire immune system of our body lives in the digestive tract. From our mouth to our bottom is literally the outside world inside of our body. Other body areas of outside world inside our body would also include our sinuses, our lungs, and our genitourinary tract. The average small intestinal length is 24 feet long. Then we have another 6 feet of colon. The surface area of the gut can cover a tennis court when stretched out flat. Just below the thin intestinal lining is where most our immune system is located. It then becomes quite logical that what goes in our mouth and down that digestive tract can have a significant impact on the health of our immune system. That means both healing or damaging. Damage to this gut lining is called “Leaky gut syndrome” (LGS) or “Intestinal permeability”.
The surface area of the gut is called the gut barrier. The internal lining of the gut barrier is one cell thick. Under this one cell layer is where most of our immune system lives. A strong and healthy barrier is essential for good health. These cells are sealed together by something called “tight junctions”. In healthy intestines, these junctions work like gatekeepers, which essentially allow or prohibit particles to move through the gut and into the circulatory system. With leaky gut syndrome, particles can slip through the cells and tight junctions and literally leak into bloodstream or lymphatic system, and move freely throughout the body. LGS is essentially like having the gates broken from your intestines to your blood stream so many of these particles that should never have been able to enter have now gotten through. When this happens, it causes inflammation throughout your body leading to a variety of diseases.
When the body recognizes these foreign substances, and detects something is wrong, the immune system kicks in, and tries to fight what it perceives to be danger in the intestines. This causes inflammation and inhibits healthy intestinal functioning. The ability to digest food and absorb nutrients is decreased, and our immune system can become compromised and our bodies inflamed. It is important to understand that you do not need to experience digestive problems like gas, bloating, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, or abdominal pain to have “Leaky Gut Syndrome (LGS)”.
How do we develop leaky gut?
Poor diet, chronic stress and microbial imbalance are key factors in developing intestinal permeability. The Western diet, typically high in refined sugar, which has been associated with LGS. Chemicals and preservatives in processed foods, gluten, dairy, and other foods that you may be sensitive to, excessive alcohol consumption, parasite infections, medications such as NSAIDs and antibiotics, mercury gas escaping from fillings in the teeth, as well as chemotherapy and radiation all damage the intestinal lining. LGS can start very early in life, especially if infants are not breast fed. Chronic stress will weaken your immune system, affecting your ability to fight off bacteria and viruses and increases the severity of the symptoms of LGS. Dysbiosis is an imbalance between beneficial and harmful bacteria in your gut. It is also one of the leading causes intestinal permeability and inflammation.
When the body is continually trying to repair leaky gut, it can be caught in a never-ending cycle, especially when the source of the problem is not diagnosed. For example, if unrecognized food allergies or a processed food diet are creating leaky gut, and the same foods are consumed over and over, a self- perpetuating, inflammatory cycle will be triggered, and the intestinal lining cannot heal leading us down a path of chronic inflammation.
Common symptoms of LGS
Most people with leaky gut have a combination of unrelated symptoms. They may or may not have bloating and general digestive distress. They may have joint pain, food allergies, chronic sinus infections, asthma or chronic lung infections or chronic cough, thyroid disease, fatigue, skin rashes, headaches, autoimmune conditions, slow metabolism, insomnia, brain fog, memory loss, mood disorders, anxiety and depression are common complaints.
Damage to the intestinal lining interferes with absorption of nutrients and nutritional deficiencies may develop. Multiple food sensitivities are also common with LGS because the partially digested food particles that leak into the bloodstream cause an inflammatory immune response.
Growing Evidence is Beginning to Shift Medical Opinions on LGS
What has happened in just the last few years has created a whole new way at looking at how disease comes about and the importance of inflammation in our immune defenses and in the process of aging. It appears that our gut is a focal point of inflammation, which affects systemic health in all other organs and tissues. When the gut barrier is being damaged, the whole body gets damaged. As we come to understand disease in the 21st century, our old ways of defining illness based on symptoms alone is not very useful. Instead, by understanding the origins of disease and the way in which the body operates as one whole, integrated ecosystem, we now know that symptoms appearing in one area of the body may be caused by imbalances in an entirely different system.
How Food Sensitivities Cause Inflammation?
For example: when the complex proteins casein (milk protein) and gluten (from wheat and some other grains) break down in the digestive tract they form protein fragments that can be viewed by the immune system as foreign invaders. Once they are in the bloodstream, your immune system sends out antibodies and the inflammation begins.
Many people are often less clear about is whether they have a food sensitivity. This is a different antibody mediated reaction – it is an IgG or IgA reaction versus an IgE reaction from an allergic food- and it does not result in a histamine or leukotriene release. In the past I have used labs to attempt to identify food sensitivities using IgG testing and found them to be quite unreliable. Clients with known wheat sensitivities would get tested and tests results would come back negative to wheat. Unfortunately, there is little to no evidence of the efficacy of these tests being used to identify food intolerances.
According to the Australasian Society of Clinical Allergy and Immunology: “These results have been shown to not be reproducible, give different results when duplicate samples are analyzed blindly, don't correlate with those from conventional testing, and 'diagnose' food hypersensitivity in subjects with conditions where food allergy is not considered to play a pathogenic role.”
What I have found to be clinically effective to identify food sensitivities is a 28 day “food sensitivity elimination diet”. During this time, you can eat adequate amounts of protein, abundance of healthy fats, and lots of your favorite vegetables. We will simply eliminate the most common food sensitivities and show you a methodical way to reintroduce many of them.
Many people have tried to do this on their own and have been unsuccessful or only modestly successful. I suggest finding a Functional Medicine practitioner who is experienced in this process to optimize your results. It takes knowledge, experience, time, patience, and the understanding that each patient has a unique set of problems and needs.
To address the underlying cause of Chronic Inflammation there is nothing more important than identifying your unique food sensitivities. Food is either anti-inflammatory and repairing to your body or pro-inflammatory and destructive to your body. Discover your ideal nutrition for life.


So, video games’ most prominent gadfly returns to the subject of interactive entertainment this morning. But, wait! Before you roll your eyes, you should know this: Roger Ebert admits he was wrong.
Yep. The Chicago Sun-Times’ longtime movie critic wrote the following in a new blog post:
I was a fool for mentioning video games in the first place. I would never express an opinion on a movie I hadn’t seen. Yet I declared as an axiom that video games can never be Art. I still believe this, but I should never have said so. Some opinions are best kept to yourself.
I should not have written that entry without being more familiar with the actual experience of video games.
He then goes on to detail how his colleague Steve Prokopy endeavored to get a PS3 and a copy of Flower in order for him to play it. Ebert’s honest about his own hemming and hawing, basically saying he just doesn’t want to play the durn thing.
Sadly, Ebert’s evasiness seems to bear out the prevailing “old man” theory, which posits that he just doesn’t want to play today’s video games. But that’s his prerogative. The most important thing here is that he acknowledges that he shouldn’t have talked trash about a medium he wasn’t willing to engage with. (I basically said the same thing when I wrote a rebuttal to Ebert a few months ago and provided examples of games that echo off of other forms of art.)
Will this be the end of Ebert’s fulminating about video games? Maybe. I personally hope the next chapter in the saga is Ebert turning on that PS3 and playing through Flower. And then Portal. And then Bioshock. And then…
[Sidenote: Because he references “games ≠ art” conversations he’s had with Clive Barker, screenshots of the Clive Barker’s Jericho game accompany the blog post. That game, while decent as I recall, is not exactly an exemplar of the video game form. I kinda feel like he’s taking subliminal potshots at Barker. But that could be me.]


Sports has very few givens. Even a dynasty has an off-year here or there. But it took the cancellation of the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic to keep the Maryland Women’s lacrosse team from reaching the Final Four.
Coach Cathy Reese’s program played in the final weekend of the season every year between 2009 and 2019 on the way to winning five National Championships in that span.
The road to a new Final Four streak begins Friday for a Terps team that may not be one of the favorites this May, but one that returns plenty of players from the 2019 team that won it all.
“Our team is really motivated. They’re passionate, they’re energetic. They’re ready to go,” Reese said earlier this week at a news conference.
“These seniors believe it — they’ve been there — they’ve won it before. They know what it takes to be successful … it’s their leadership and energy that’s pushing us in the right direction.”
Eleven players on this year’s roster are either seniors or fifth-year players, including Big Ten Defender of the Year Lizzie Colson, as well as 20-goal scorers Brindi Griffin, Grace Griffin and Libby May.
The Terrapins went 9-6, the most losses in a season for the program since 2006 — the year before Reese took over. But three of those losses came against No. 2 Northwestern, including a defeat in the Big Ten Championship Game.
“We were better than when we played them the two times before,” Reese said.
“As we look to keep improving and gaining experience and gaining momentum I thought coming out of that weekend offensively we were smarter of the ball, we took better care of our possessions, I thought we did a better job clearing and just taking better care of the ball from one end of the field to the other.”
Two reasons for optimism surrounding the 2021 Terps are players who weren’t on the 2019 National Championship team: Sophomore Hannah Leubecker leads the Terps with 53 goals, while Sophomore goaltender Emily Sterling made 112 saves, while playing 92% of the minutes this year.
“This group is just fired up,” Reese said. “Like I said to you guys from Day One, we’re going to be a team that keeps getting better and that was our goal to be playing our best lacrosse in May. So we’re all looking forward to hitting the field again on Friday night.”
The Terps face High Point in Friday’s First Round at 7 p.m. “They’ve scored a lot of goals (15.18 per game, 16th best in the nation) this season.” Reese said.
“They’re putting points on the board, that’s for sure. The way we choose to defend them in our game plan is going to be huge and crucial to our success.”
Other Friday First Round matchups involving area teams
- Towson (9-8) takes on No. 8 Stony Brook (14-2) at 12 p.m. The Tigers were ranked No. 15 on April 13, before a loss to Drexel began a tailspin that saw them drop six of seven. They will have fun trying to contain a Seawolves offense that ranks 10th in the nation (16.19 goals per game).
- Mount St. Mary’s (14-2) meets No. 7 Duke (9-7) at 3 p.m. The Mountaineers bring a 14-game winning streak into the tournament, but they played just one ranked team during the regular season (a loss to No. 18 Navy). The Blue Devils are much more battle-tested, with 10 of their 16 games coming against ranked foes.
- Loyola Maryland (11-2) plays Hofstra (6-6) at 3 p.m. The Greyhounds boast the fourth-stingiest defense in the nation (7.69 goals allowed per game).
- Virginia (8-8) plays U.Conn. (12-6) at 5 p.m. The Cavaliers have lost six in a row, but five of those losses came against schools that were ranked in the top five (the one that really stings came against unranked Virginia Tech).
- Johns Hopkins (8-6) plays James Madison (11-4) at 5 p.m. The Blue Jays fell in the Big Ten Semifinals to Maryland and are led by the scoring tandem of Aurora Crodingley (37 goals) and Mackenzie Heldberg (29 goals and 21 assists). The Dukes are coming off an upset of No. 10 Drexel in the CAA Championship Game.

BOSTON (CBS) — As Congress plans to move forward with impeachment, Rep. Katherine Clark took the time to discuss her thoughts on the matter with WBZ-TV’s Jon Keller.
Clark has been supportive of impeachment since July, before the opinion was popular. Since the revelations about the Ukraine phone call, the public has swayed from opposing an impeachment to supporting it.
“I think what we have clearly on display, what the president has told us he’s done, is an abuse of power. It is using our national security, our state department for the president’s own political gain. That is something that strikes Americans as wrong,” Clark explained.
“People understand corruption, whether they are in a red state or a blue state.”
According to Clark, Trump has “betrayed his oath of office…I think it’s one phrase: ‘can you do me a favor, though.’ It is in that call.”
Clark said while Trump has done a number of questionable actions that Democrats have tried to look into, this will be different because an impeachment inquiry has been opened. It gives them “more leverage and when there isn’t compliance with subpoenas from Congress — as a co-equal branch of government, which this president tends to forget– we have the power of bringing an article of impeachment for obstruction.”
The Be Heard Act is legislation Clark has helped create to protect workers from harassment.
“It includes extending the statute of limitations so that people have time to be able to bring their claims without fear of getting fired, not having an ability to support their families. It gets rid of the tip minimum wage that we see being used as an exploitive and manipulative tool. We want to give, through the power of law, the protections that every worker deserves, to go to a workplace and be treated with dignity,” she explained.
It will also have resources for small businesses.

- Baking Pans / Cookie Sheets – The only main difference between baking pans or cookie sheets is that cookie sheets may be flat or have one raised edge for easy sliding. Baking pans, on the other hand, have raised edges so the goodies won’t spill over. If your baking pan is nonstick, you can easily use a spatula to easily lift the cookies off the pan.
- Cooling Racks – Stainless steel cooling racks are not just for cooling baked goods. You can also use them to drain fried food such as fried chicken wings. You can also use them for decorating baked goods. Most cooling racks can also be used as a roasting or grilling rack. Look for cooling racks that have the right height to allow air to properly circulate underneath and prevent condensation that leads to soggy goods.
- Loaf Pan – A loaf pan allows the bread to shape while baking. It is usually rectangular in shape. Not only is it used for bread but also for pound cake, meatloaf, or casserole. You can even use the loaf pan to freeze homemade ice cream!
- Round or Square Cake Pans – These traditional cake pans have flat bottoms and straight sides to make level cakes. They make for ideal canvasses for cake decorators so they can easily frost a cake. Opt for nonstick cake pans that can withstand high heat to prevent burning and to easily unmold the cakes.
- Roaster Pan with Lids – A roaster pan is a large, deep roasting pan that you can use for large cuts of meats and veggies. It normally comes with a roasting rack that you can place inside it. Other items have lids included which you can use to serve or store food. Roaster pans are also perfect for baking lasagna and other pasta dishes.
- Perforated Pizza Pan – If you want crispier pizza, choose perforated pizza pans instead of solid pans. The holes at the bottom prevent moisture build up and cooks pizza faster. Just make sure that you watch over your pizza to prevent burning, especially if you are making thick-crust pizza.
- Silicone Trivets – Of course, your hands and kitchen counter need to be protected when cooking or baking your favorite recipes. The honeycomb design silicone trivets can withstand temperatures up to 446°F. They are also flexible enough to hold on to large pots and pans without slipping. Since they are made of silicone, you can run them in the dishwasher, hang to dry, then use right away.
Now that you know how to use the different items in a bakeware set, it’s time to choose the right bakeware set that’s complete for your kitchen needs. Kitchenatics offers a 12-piece complete bakeware set with all of the above items. They’re also made of nonstick carbon steel that’s easy to handwash and heat resistant for perfectly baked goods and delicious meals!

7 Common Signs of Arthritis in Dogs
Osteoarthritis is a common ailment found in older dogs, as well as some larger breeds that are genetically prone to it. Similarly to humans, arthritis in dogs causes changes in the affected joints that can be incredibly painful for your pet.
Arthritis can occur in any joint, but is most commonly found in the shoulders, hips, elbows, and knees. It can be caused by ongoing wear and tear, but can also be caused by an injury to the area, genetics, and disease.
If you notice any of the following 7 signs and suspect that your dog may suffer from arthritis, make an appointment with your vet to create a care plan.
Reluctance to Move
You may notice that your dog is reluctant to do things that previously were not a problem for them.
Perhaps your pet used to dart into your vehicle the second the doors opened, and now seems indifferent. You may notice your dog has difficulty going up or down the stairs. Is your once playful pet no longer interested in running and playing? Maybe lagging behind on walks?
If you notice these changes in your pet, arthritis could be the culprit. Chances are, these once easy tasks are now painful due to swollen joints.
Depending on the joints that are affected, you may see your pet limping or favoring one or more legs over the others. If the spine is affected, your pet may even experience lameness in one or both hind legs.
Your dog may seem to experience pain or stiffness when getting up or down that seems to resolve after they have walked a bit and “warmed up.”
Yelping when Touched
Inflammation in the joints can cause the affected areas to be sensitive to touch.
If you notice your dog is rejecting your affection or cries out in pain when you do pet them, it could be that you have located the problem area.
Has your once lovely pup seemed to turn into a grumpy old man?
If you were in constant pain when moving, it is likely you would have a shorter fuse, too. The same goes for your dog. They may snap or bite when someone tries to touch them, particularly if you are handling them in a way that worsens the pain.
Often, dogs in pain don’t want to be bothered. Your pet may spend more time in quiet areas of the house, or stop following you around. Their schedule may change and you find they aren’t right there for a routine walk or play time.
Licking, Chewing, & Biting
It is not uncommon for an arthritic pet to pay special attention to painful joints. You may notice them licking or chewing on or more spots often, even to the point of hair loss and inflamed skin in the area.
Pain is exhausting!
If it is uncomfortable for your pet to move around, they will not want to walk as far or play. Instead they may spend more time resting or sleeping.
Arthritic dogs often develop muscle atrophy from inactivity.
The decreased use of certain muscles will cause them to deteriorate over time. If the arthritis is in one or more legs, you may notice that those legs look thinner than the others.
If you notice any of these symptoms in your pet, please make an appointment with your vet as soon as possible. While arthritis is not curable, creating a treatment plan in the early stages can make the condition more bearable, and give your dog a better quality of life.

To support Palatinate and sign our open letter to get SU funding for printed newspapers, please complete this form.
The Durham Students’ Union has this morning informed us that there is ‘no budget for a print edition’ for Michaelmas term, and that Epiphany and Easter terms are not yet confirmed. We are asking for support from Durham students and journalists in overturning this decision.
In normal times, Palatinate publishes free papers on a fortnightly basis, featuring scores of students’ hard work from writing, editorial, graphic design, photography and illustration.
Palatinate‘s print newspapers are a 72-year-old tradition that we cannot afford to lose. Having been founded in 1948, Palatinate has since printed newspapers on a regular basis, keeping students up to date with what is going on in their university.
Since lockdown began, Palatinate has continued to prove how vital it is to the student body. From a breaking news feed about Coronavirus back in March, to uncovering the plans for Unbound Education – which made national headlines – to providing clear and reliable information about how the University will operate this term, our journalism continues to serve a crucial function in holding the university to account. Student journalism is important, especially in a time of constant uncertainty.
On a practical level, Palatinate has been offering opportunities to aspiring journalists for 72 years, too. Broadcasters like Jeremy Vine, George Alagiah and Cristinia Nicolotti Squires, the co-founder of the BBC World Service TV News John Exelby, and former Editor of the Sunday Times Sir Harold Evans – all of them learned the ropes at Palatinate. Recent alumni have found work at national papers and earnt places on prestigious journalism courses at City, University of London and News Associates. Any student at Durham can write for Palatinate, so any student can see their work in print. Print journalism is a crucial skill, and the chance to learn about it at undergraduate level has, and always will be, invaluable.
We have thought carefully about how to produce and print papers safely in line with government guidance. National newspapers have continued to be printed, and picking up a paper in a college or the SU does not contribute to the spread of the virus. We have been working to resolve how we can use the software we need safely, including limiting the number of people in our office, and possibly working remotely from personal computers. We believe we can continue to function as a student society in a safe and responsible manner.
Palatinate has functioned well online for the last six months. Our viewing figures have been high, and we have served the student body as best we can. However, the decision to cut our newspapers for the rest of 2020, if not next year too, undermines our status as Durham’s official student newspaper. We offer informed coverage, and we will scrutinise and hold those in power to account. Please help us continue to do so.

In a very cashless world, it is difficult to assume the reason some body would avoid a banking account.
Deposit is normally viewed as the safe, dependable, and most convenient way to deal with one’s capital, while alternative economic providers tends to be viewed as payday advance loans in Salt Lake UT exploitative and vulturine. So far, in 2017, a study performed from FDIC discovered that the sheer number of unbanked houses across the nation would be 8.4 million, with another 24.2 million underbanked people, houses which aren’t getting involved or have limited participation in typical finance companies. As policymakers consistently concerns the character of banking institutions in relieving poverty, it is important to concern precisely why everyone is steering clear of banking institutions for riskier and much less easy alternatives.
One problem is which banking industry is not made with reduced and middle income households at heart.
At big financial institutions, for example Wells Fargo, Chase, and Bank of The country, 25 to 40per cent of examining records are merely maybe not financially rewarding and are generally described as “ bucks getting rid of .” To fight this, overdraft rates, debit credit swipe prices, ATM departure expenses, cable shift fees, among additional expenses and rates include enforced. These charges it seem around every area of this banking industry establish a very important concern and shield of access for reduced and middle income persons. To produce points worse, these charges for minimal to average earnings people are tough to abstain from. Overdraft charge were specially necessary for individuals that real time hand-to-mouth with prepaid notes. While loan providers will deposit investments into records only on working days, distributions can be done any time of the week. Banks will likely frequently take time to display the genuine stability of someone’s bank account resulting in monthly overdraft charge as much as $34 . Loan providers makes up to three-monthly overdraft costs, which spots an amazing rate on individuals that reside income to paycheck. Due to this, while banks look for methods to increase her sales, lower income family tend to be burdened with too much rates.
As a result, examine cashers as well as other monetary options get to be the less costly alternative. While over-limit fees and payday advance loan usually are not precisely the same, there are several parallels from the two. Folks containing costs exceeding their own accessible harmony is basically lending that money through the financial immediately after which becoming recharged a fee for they. Cash loans run exactly the same way and are usually paid in much the same timespan as overdraft expenses. A lot of overdraft expenses were returned within three days and also the median cost in 2014 was $34. However, the annual number costs for payday advance loan tend to be between 300 and 600percent ; if overdraft prices were addressed as an instant payday loan this is certainly refunded within three days, the APR could well be 1700per cent . Seeing that 12 million People in the us pull out pay day loans every year, many times each year, in addition to the predictions is manufactured that if these People in the us looked to finance companies, they’d incur overdraft fees rather than pay day loans, overdraft fees would grow to be too difficult and costly for low income people. Here is the very reason that reasonable and mild revenue anyone usually turn into financial options for their unique finance wants. Inspite of the risky that is included with these services, they are generally the only fiscally doable selection for lowest and average earnings persons.

When it comes to transporting goods and materials, loading and unloading lorries efficiently is essential. However, this procedure often hits a hurdle when stationary cranes or forklift trucks are not available at both ends of the operation. Wherever this situation exists, crane trucks provide an ideal solution.
Cranes trucks make loading and unloading convenient and highly efficient. They make a substantial positive impact in industries that need heavy, wide, abnormal, or awkward loads, goods, or equipment delivered, relocated, or removed. They are a true multipurpose workhouse, carrying out tasks across sectors such as construction, retail, agriculture, and marine.
The Different Types Of Crane Trucks & Their Uses
Crane trucks have a hydraulic crane mounted onto them, either right behind the cab or at the far end of the deck, making them highly versatile when it comes to loading and unloading. The trucks have four, eight, or more wheels, creating a stable platform for moving loads of up to 30 tonnes with an up to thirty metre crane reach and sixty metre lift height.
A crane truck can access spaces where a traditional crane cannot be set up. This may be due to a lack of physical space on worksites or urban areas or due to environmental concerns. It may also be due to ground conditions and stability, particularly on soft or sandy ground, which is unsuitable for crane pads. With this mobile solution, you do not need to go to the time or expense of laying a foundation for a traditional crane.
Crane Trucks For Agriculture
There are crane truck models with plenty of room for agricultural equipment and machinery. They may be deployed for moving products or heavy tools at mills and granaries. Farming businesses can benefit hugely by moving large pieces of equipment without needing to disassemble them. The mounted crane can be fitted with a number of attachments, including grab buckets.
Truck Mounted Crane For Construction
Crane trucks are the ultimate choice for moving building materials from the merchant to the construction site. Pallets of bricks, breeze blocks, and paving stones, can be moved with ease, along with packs of adhesives and powders such as plaster.
The crane truck is highly manoeuvrable, placing goods right where they are needed. Depending on the crane model, either 180 or 360 degrees of rotation and operation are possible. The crane can be fitted with brick grabbers, timber grabs, hooks, or chains.
Crane Lorry For Freight And Cargo
Crane lorries are also used for marine and international trade, loading metal containers from ground to truck and from truck to ship. Radio remotes allow unloading from a safe distance, making precise moves and placement.
Cromwell Trucks holds a healthy stock of Volvo, DAF, Mercedes, and Iveco trucks fitted with HIAB, Atlas, and Palfinger cranes. Whether you are searching for continuous or twin-slewing gear, load sensing systems, or any other refinement, we can supply the solution you need.
Contact our customer service and sales team to learn more about our stock of crane trucks.

One CEO: "A tempest in a teapot and we're the teabag." Another calls examiner visits a "blitzkrieg."
I was very happy to see both Chip Filson and Jim Blaine support the release of CAMEL ratings (CU Times, Jan. 25, page 1).
State agency says NCUA sending examiners from across the country to examine Tarheel State credit unions.
League said it plans to have a special meeting next week to discuss how to “protect our credit unions” after NCUA decision to require dual exams following CAMEL score disclosure.
CAMELs aren’t usually a source of controversy in a place known for basketball and tobacco. At issue is the NCUA’s fight with state regulators over the release of the CAMEL rating of State Employees Credit Union.
The NCUA says it's protecting the system. Critics say the agency is protecting itself. Check out this print preview from next week's print edition of Credit Union Times.
Region III director calls CAMEL disclosure "unacceptable release" that could threaten NCUSIF and depositors.
If you’ve ever wanted to appeal the results of your credit union’s NCUA examination to someone outside the agency, a bill moving through the House of Representatives would allow you to do that.
This article will be among the news, features, analysis and insight filling the pages of the next print edition of Credit Union Times.
The North Carolina media got a taste of the “Blaine humor” this week in describing the difficulty consumers sometimes have in switching banks ala Bank Transfer Day.


(CNN) Muhammad Ali scoops up his baby daughter Maryum and explains a concept that she couldn’t possibly understand at such a tender young age: "Your daddy is fighting for you," he is reported as saying in 1968. "Someday, you’re going to be able to walk with your head high and not beg for a job. And you don’t even know it."
Between 1960 and 1981, Ali fought 61 professional heavyweight bouts in a glittering career that made him a global icon, but arguably his biggest fights were outside of the ring. His remarkable life story is once again in the spotlight, the subject of "Muhammad Ali" — an expansive, four-part, eight-hour documentary by the renowned filmmaker Ken Burns, airing on PBS.
"He intersects with all of the things that not only were the most important issues of that day," Burns told CNN Sport , "He’s so much bigger than boxing. Sports and the role of sports and society, Black athletes and race and religion and faith and politics and war. There isn’t a button that he doesn’t push, either deliberately or accidentally — and he’s so amazing."
But the crux of Burns’ narrative is that he wasn’t always revered, in fact, for many years in the United States, Muhammad Ali was dismissed, feared and even despised.
The latter-day image of Ali is that he was flamboyant, loquacious and audacious. A larger than life character who was beloved.
"The biggest misconception about Muhammad Ali is that everybody loved him," explains ESPN’s Howard Bryant, who is featured in the film. He told CNN Sport, "One of the greatest misconceptions about Ali is that White people loved him from the start. They didn’t. That he belonged to everyone from the start. He didn’t."
One of Ali’s daughters, Rasheda, told CNN Sport that her father’s life was far from the fairytale that today’s generation might assume it to be. "His life was in danger. He had death threats placed upon him because a lot of people didn’t like him," she says.
"They didn’t respect him. They thought he was unpatriotic. There was a lot of racism at that time."
From his humble beginnings in Louisville, Kentucky, Burns charts the rise of a promising — if unvarnished — athlete, who was inspired by the civil rights movement of the time.
Born Cassius Clay in 1942, Ali was almost the same age as Emmett Till, the 14-year-old Black boy who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955. According to the film, Ali was said to be haunted by the image of Till’s mutilated corpse, which his mother allowed to be photographed in an open casket at his funeral. Ali, then known as Cassius Clay, won the 1960 Olympic light heavyweight gold medal. After winning the Olympic gold medal in 1960 and turning professional later that year, Ali often listened to Louis Farrakhan’s 1961 song, "A White Man’s Heaven is a Black Man’s Hell," but he knew to tread carefully on race because offending his group of all-White sponsors in Louisville might have damaged his chances […]

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is worth watching just for the amazing magical universe it attempts to present. If you are a fan of the Harry Potter universe or love anything related to magic then you don’t need to even read this review. But if you are picky about your movies then relax, this movie is not as bad as many critics would claim. In any case, let’s give you a straightforward honest review.
Although the movie is a bit on the longer side which I think is a fair point, it doesn’t at any point look below par when it comes to the production quality. The overall feel of the movie starting with the colors down to the fine details of CGI is quite decent.
The storyline and screenplay might not be perfect but when it comes to the entertainment factor it is fairly enjoyable as well. When you talk about acting, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore features some well-known stars making it quite appealing, to say the least. All in all, it presents a very decent mix of odd characters to hook the audience.
Is Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore a Sequel or a Prequel?
Anyone familiar with the Harry Potter franchise can easily tell that the Fantastic Beasts movies are a prequel to the very popular Harry Potter movies. One fascinating thing about this movie is the special character development of Dumbledore.
Apart from the very obvious movie title, the emphasis of this movie on Dumbledore’s character makes it interesting and also gives a bit of an imbalance at the same time. Also when it comes to the magical feel of the movie, it builts that other worldly environment in a very effortless way. If you ask me, this prequel to the Harry Potter series is not that bad.
In fact on Rotten Tomatoes, fans seem to love this movie, even though critics don’t agree on many points. As of this writing audience ratings on RT stand at 83%, which is quite impressive.
Is Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore Worth Watching?
If you want to add some magic to your boring weekend, then Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is definitely worth a watch. But if you are expecting something epic and mindblowing, you better start looking for some other movie to stream.

Which Statement About Public Key Encryption Is False. Learn about the public key encryption and the facts and debunk common misconceptions. This article dives into the world of public key encryption, highlighting false statements and providing accurate insights.
Public key encryption is a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity, enabling secure communication and data protection. While it’s an essential concept, there are often misconceptions surrounding it. In this article, we’ll address some common statements about public key encryption that are false. By clarifying these misconceptions, you’ll gain a better understanding of how this encryption method works and its role in safeguarding digital information.
Table of Contents
False Statement: “Public and Private Keys Are the Same”
One of the most significant misunderstandings is the belief that public and private keys are identical. In reality, they are distinct cryptographic keys with unique roles. The public key is shared openly and is used to encrypt data, while the private key is kept secret and is used to decrypt the encrypted data. The two keys work together in a complementary manner, enhancing security.
False Statement: “Public Key Encryption Is Unbreakable”
While public key encryption is highly secure, it’s not entirely immune to potential breaches. In theory, if an attacker were to discover a private key through advanced mathematical techniques or flaws in the encryption algorithm, they could potentially decrypt the data. However, the complexity of modern encryption algorithms makes such attacks extremely difficult and time-consuming.
False Statement: “Public Key Encryption Is Slow”
Another misconception is that public key encryption is inherently slow. While it’s true that public key encryption is generally slower than symmetric encryption methods, advancements in technology have significantly improved its efficiency. Additionally, public key encryption is often used to establish secure channels for exchanging symmetric keys, which are then used for faster data encryption.
False Statement: “Public Key Encryption Is Only Used for Data Encryption”
Public key encryption serves various purposes beyond data encryption. It’s also employed for digital signatures, which verify the authenticity of digital documents or messages. Digital signatures use the sender’s private key to encrypt a unique hash of the data, providing recipients with assurance of the data’s origin and integrity.
False Statement: “Public Key Encryption Is Vulnerable to Quantum Computers”
While it’s true that quantum computers have the potential to break certain encryption methods, including some used in public key cryptography, this is not an immediate concern. Quantum computers of sufficient power to break these encryption methods do not yet exist. Moreover, researchers are actively working on developing quantum-resistant encryption algorithms.
False Statement: “Public Key Encryption Doesn’t Require Secure Key Exchange”
Secure key exchange is crucial for public key encryption. While the public key can be openly shared, it’s important to establish its authenticity and integrity. If an attacker were to intercept and replace the public key with their own, they could potentially decrypt the data. Techniques like digital certificates and certificate authorities are used to ensure secure key exchange.
Public key encryption is a fundamental technology for ensuring secure communication and protecting sensitive data. However, it’s essential to separate fact from fiction when discussing its capabilities. By addressing common misconceptions, we’ve clarified the true nature of public key encryption and its vital role in the digital age.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is public key encryption?
Public key encryption, also known as asymmetric encryption, is a cryptographic method that uses a pair of keys: a public key and a private key. The public key is used for encryption, while the private key is used for decryption. This technology ensures secure communication and data protection in various digital transactions.
How does public key encryption work?
Public key encryption relies on complex mathematical algorithms. The sender uses the recipient’s public key to encrypt the data before sending it. Once received, the recipient uses their private key to decrypt the encrypted data. This two-key system ensures that only the intended recipient can access the decrypted information.
Can public key encryption be broken?
In theory, public key encryption can be broken through advanced mathematical techniques or vulnerabilities in the encryption algorithm. However, the encryption algorithms used in modern systems are incredibly complex and secure. Breaking them would require a significant amount of computational power and time, making it highly impractical.
Is public key encryption slow?
While public key encryption is generally slower than symmetric encryption methods, technological advancements have improved its efficiency. Additionally, public key encryption is often used to establish secure channels for exchanging symmetric keys, which are then used for faster data encryption.
Can quantum computers break public key encryption?
Quantum computers have the potential to break certain encryption methods, including some used in public key cryptography. However, quantum computers of sufficient power to achieve this do not currently exist. Moreover, researchers are actively working on developing quantum-resistant encryption algorithms to address this potential vulnerability.


ELIZABETHTON, Tenn. - A steadier stream of pedestrians could soon be joining cars rolling into downtown Elizabethton.
"The planning commission has had a lot of conversations about how we can reinvigorate and get people interested and liven up downtown again," Planning and Development Director Jon Hartman said.
One idea to liven things up is to approve residential living downtown. In April, the planning commission voted to make adoptions to the zoning ordinances to allow it and now the plan is in the city council's hands. "When we get residential downtown and we get people living downtown it really can help the business atmosphere," Hartman said.
Businesses like The Coffee Company. "I think it brings the buildings back to life," said owner John Bunn.
Bunn tells us the addition of downtown apartments or condos should help his business percolate even more. "You know obviously for our situation it's more business for us," Bunn said. "The people who live here don't have to drive somewhere they can eat at the businesses that are restaurants downtown. They can shop downtown. They can enjoy the recreation."
Planning and development director Jon Hartman tells us that under the plan, the first floor of downtown buildings would always be reserved for retail, with residential living possible on the second floor or higher.
He says it's a trend that's really brewing. "A lot major cities today and even smaller communities such as Johnson City, Kingsport and Bristol, they're all moving towards this concept," Hartman said. "It provides that population base right in the middle of downtown helps create community makes the downtown a place to be."
"I think it's a great thing for our community," Bunn said.
If the city council approves the resolution on both readings, downtown Elizabethton could see residential living in place by this fall.

SEATTLE, June 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Infectious Disease Research Institute today announced it has received a $314,500 grant from the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust. This new funding will support IDRI's efforts to better understand the mechanisms of tuberculosis (TB) disease and ultimately identify new drugs to treat it.
TB is a contagious disease spread by tiny droplets in the air and can be hard to avoid. A seemingly insignificant cough from an infected person can spread the infection. Nearly 2 million people die of TB every year and one-third of the planet is infected. With the emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extensively-drug resistant (XDR) TB strains, the disease is becoming deadlier. The World Health Organization predicts that by 2020 almost one billion people would have contracted TB, with 35 million dying from it.
"Most people believe that TB is a disease of the past or only a disease associated with significant poverty in developing countries, but TB is actually a global problem that threatens developed countries as well," said Professor Tanya Parish, the Principal Investigator for the grant at IDRI. "While XDR-TB is spreading dangerously with cases now reported in 55 countries, no truly novel TB drug has been developed for use in over 40 years. We urgently need new and more effective drugs to fight against TB."
IDRI's TB Drug Discovery Program was created in 2007 with the objective of discovering drugs that shorten the standard tuberculosis antibiotic treatment and new ways to treat drug-resistant forms of the disease. As part of this new endeavor, IDRI joined Eli Lilly and Company and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to form the Lilly TB Drug Discovery Initiative, a unique public-private partnership dedicated to accelerating early-stage TB drug discovery.
"This is the second grant we have received from the Murdock Trust and we are very appreciative of their renewed support to IDRI's mission against neglected diseases," commented Dr Steve Reed, Founder and Head of IDRI's Research and Development Program. "This funding is essential so that we can harness the most promising science to discover new TB drugs as quickly as possible so as to address this global emergency affecting millions of lives."
IDRI is dedicated to developing products not only to treat, but also to detect and prevent TB. IDRI's scientists have been working on TB vaccine development for more than 15 years under several grants and contracts from the NIAID. This multi-pronged approach aims at bringing the highest value to the global community.

An SLR isn’t simply put together in a factory, it is manufactured precisely where the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula 1 cars are built: at the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, England. Every SLR thus combines the best of two worlds: the legendary quality and experience of Mercedes-Benz and the Formula 1 know-how of McLaren.
For this reason, apart from state-of-the-art motorsport technology, motor racing materials are also used: carbon-fibre reinforced plastic, CFRP for short, has established itself in motorsport, as a material of the highest strength, rigidity and energy absorption with a very low specific weight. Reason enough to use CFRP as a material for a legend. For the SLR.

MAGIC CLUB CW Shipley Elementary Mr. Anders One hopper No Hopper Pop Fly Two Hopper
Objectives of the Magic Club To demonstrate the ability to correctly throw balls of various (different) sizes from various distances. To demonstrate the ability to correctly catch balls of various sizes from various distances. To develop the habit and practice of stepping in opposition whenever throwing a ball over handed. To demonstrate honesty and trustworthiness during all show times.
THE BASIC LEVELS White (Volleyball)White (Volleyball) Red ( 6’’ Playground Ball)Red ( 6’’ Playground Ball) Yellow (Tennis Ball)Yellow (Tennis Ball) Overhead MasterOverhead Master (Volleyball, Red Playground Ball, and Tennis Ball)
THE MOST CHALLENGING LEVELS Semi-Professional (forehands:dominant and opposites) Professional (backhands:dominant and opposites) Double Trouble (2 balls @ the same time). Semi-Professional (forehands:dominant and opposites) Professional (backhands:dominant and opposites) Double Trouble (2 balls @ the same time).
THE SKILLS One Hopper Two Hopper No Hopper Pop Fly
ONE HOPPER Throw the ball below the blue line on the wall, let the ball bounce one time on the floor, and then catch the ball.
TWO HOPPER Throw the ball below the blue line on the wall, let the ball bounce two times on the floor, and then catch the ball.
NO HOPPER Throw the ball above the blue line on the wall, and catch the ball. Do not let the ball bounce on the floor.
POP FLY Throw the ball at the floor, let the ball hit the wall below the blue line on the wall, and then catch the ball. Floor, Wall, Catch
The Overhead Level contains 3 different levels: White Red Yellow The white level contains the One Hopper and the No Hopper skills. The red level contains the Pop Fly skill. The yellow level contains the No Hopper.
All the skills in the Overhead Master level are performed exactly the same as the other levels except: The ball will hit the wall. Keep your eyes on the ball as it passes over your head. Turn your body so your back is facing the throwing wall. The ball will not bounce.
Overhead Master Rules After the ball leaves the wall it must travel over, not beside or below, your head The eyes must track the ball the whole time. Student must catch the ball palms up. Students cannot not stand and turn their back to the wall but show movement away from the wall.
Rules of Throwing You must use an overhand throw. This means the ball must be thrown over the shoulder. You must throw with only one hand. You must step forward when throwing the ball. Transfer your weight from the back foot to the front foot. When you step to throw, you must use opposition. This means whatever hand you are throwing with, you must step with your opposite foot. For example, if you throw with your right hand, you must step with your left foot. (Left hand throw- right foot step.) You must stay behind the appropriate (correct) color line. Whatever color level you are working on is the color line you must stay behind when throwing the ball. Do not hit the ceiling.
Rules of Catching You must only catch the ball with your hands. The ball cannot touch any other part of your body. You must catch the ball from behind the appropriate (correct) color line. Whatever color level you are working on is the color line you must stay behind when catching the ball. You must catch the ball before the “out of bounds” line (green line).
4. Step on the opposite foot (foot closest to the east wall) of your throwing hand you are using.
5. Turn your hips/waist. This is when you transfer your weight. 6. Throw the ball.
5. Throw the ball. 7. Follow through: If right handed, your right hand will hit your left thigh/quad/femur, and if left handed, your left hand will hit your right thigh/quad/femur.
Swing your dominate foot forward so your facing the throwing wall.
Catch the ball Below the waist: pinkies together. Above the waist: thumbs together (make field goal or a triangle).
SHOWTIME/CHECK – OFF/Sticker Time To go to the next skill or level you must get 10 in a row correctly. If not, you are out of that particular show time. We will practice and then have show time after each practice. MYERSVILLE ELEMENTARY
Assessment of student needs I will take a sample section from 1 st, 2 nd,and 3 rd grades. They will have a chance to perform their throwing skills with no instruction while I quickly scan the class and record the amount of students not performing certain elements of the throw correctly.
Element of throw not performed Sample 1 st grade # not performing a skill Sample 2 nd grade # not performing a skill Sample 3 rd grade # not performing a skill Side to target Non-throwing arm pointed at target Hold ball behind ear Step in opposition Turn hips Throw Ball Follow through

Finishing is hard for me without a deadline attached. I'd much rather be designing and starting the next project than actually finishing the one I just got cut or pieced. Call it quilter's ADD or whatever, but finishing can be hard. So I'm going to join in the fun (and probably some frustration too) by listing a few projects I'd like to actually finish as part of the 2015 Quarter1 Finish-Along hosted by Adrianne at On The Windy Side. Check it out if you need a little reason to motivate and finish. There are prizes involved just in case that helps you commit. The deadline for signing up is Jan 17th.
I want to keep it realistic for my first attempt at this. Not to mention QuiltCon will be occupying a bit of my time. So here goes in no specific order.
1. Blue Matrix; a baby sized quilt made as an example of design options for my Matrix pattern which also needs to be finished and released. Needs quilting and binding.
3. Tumbler green/gray version. Top almost done. Needs quilting and binding.
Tumbler hot pinks and oranges. This one just needs to be bound.
Do you see a common element here? Most of these are projects are finished tops that just need quilting. Not my favorite part as I've said a thousand times before. But I can do it. I know I can. Especially when the quilt is smaller like the first two on my list. And for the larger sized quilts I have absolutely no problem sending them out to a long armer. Just wish I could afford to have more of them custom quilted but alas, edge to edge will do just fine for most.
So that's it. Four projects, all of which are nearly, but not quite, done. I also have quite a long list of projects to start. So many beautiful fabric groupings pulled and ideas percolating. But I'll save those for next quarter.
Wishing all of you who signed up the best of luck. Wish me luck too. : )
I like the flow in blue Matrix and I love the pinks and oranges in Tumbler. Thus far I have managed to finish one project before I start another, too little room to have multiple projects on the go! I too think the quilting is the least enjoyable part! Keep at it!ReplyDelete
Oh no. I'm not signing up! It's one of those things that puts me on edge to fulfill my obligation, and then I feel frantic for all the other things that need doing as well. For the same reason, I dropped out of MCMB. You have lofty aspirations with all that quilting. Hope you can get a few done yourself. Once you do, and realize you CAN do that, you'll want to quilt all your own, just to say you did... and to save all that money! (For fabric.) Sure love seeing all your beautiful tops. I'm especially interested to see the chartreuse and grey one finished.ReplyDelete
You can do it! I like the blue and green combo. Very niceReplyDelete
Don't feel so bad about not finishing up the quilts, these things take time and sometimes you need a break from a quilt. As a quilter I believe you are suppose to have unfinished projects. This from a person who has 9 quilts to quilt and 4 quilt tops in the working stage.ReplyDelete
You can do it!!!

Infrared spectroscopy of physisorbed and chemisorbed N-2 in the Pt(111)(3x3)N-2 structure
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2007
Using infrared spectroscopy and low electron energy diffraction, we have investigated the adsorption of N-2, at 30 K, on the Pt(111) and the Pt(111)(1x1)H surfaces. At monolayer coverage, N-2 orders in commensurate (3x3) structures on both surfaces, and we propose that the unit cells contain four molecules in each case. The infrared spectra reveal that N-2 exclusively physisorbs on the Pt(111)(1x1)H surface, while both physisorbed and chemisorbed N-2 is detected on the Pt(111) surface. Physisorbed N-2 is the majority species in the latter case, and the two adsorption states show an almost identical uptake behavior, which indicates that they are intrinsic constituents of the growing (3x3) N-2 islands. An analysis of the infrared absorbance data, based on a simple scaling concept suggested by density functional theory calculations, supports a model in which the (3x3) unit cell contains one chemisorbed molecule in end-on atop configuration and three physisorbed molecules. We note that a classic ''pinwheel'' structure on a hexagonal lattice, with the end-on chemisorbed N2 molecules acting as ''pins,'' is compatible with this composition.

Let’s face it- the entertainment industry is focused around female beauty. While standards are changing and inclusivity is becoming more prevalent in the fashion and beauty world, there is still a large divide between the way genders are treated. Male models work less and are often paid less. Photographers who make a point to work with male subjects are doing us all a favor. Listed below are 30 photographers who even out the playing field. We love their work and you will too.

We describe a new method of fluorescence sensing based on fluorescence polarization. The sensor consists of two compartments, both of which contain the sensing fluorophore. One side of the sensor contains
a constant concentration of analyte, and the other contains the unknown concentration. Emission from both sides is observed through polarizers, with the polarization from the sample being rotated 90 degrees
from that of the reference. Changes in the fluorescence intensity of the sample result in changes in the measured polarization for the combined emission. We show that this approach can be used to measure
glucose and calcium using fluorophores which show analyte-dependent intensity changes, and no change in the spectral shape. Only a single fluorophore is required, this being the sensing fluorophore in both
sides of the sensor. We also show that polarization sensing of glucose and calcium can be performed with visual detection of the polarization. In this case the only electronic component is the light source.
These simple schemes can be used with a variety of analytes. The only requirement is a change in fluorescence intensity in response to the analyte.

|Dennis Hopper Taos NM 1975 "reckless driving, failure to report and leaving the scene of an accident"(pled guilty, paid fine)|
Hang your favourite "criminal"... on your wall. Our fascination with retro pop culture rebels led us to create this ongoing series of glittery art plaques featuring famous faces under arrest.
Each hand-made plaque is carefully layered and individually embellished with glitter or Swarovski crystal accents over a glossy, archival-print-quality surface. Sides are sealed high-quality silver glitter, back is plain white with slot hanger.
A label on back outlines the details for each subject's arrest incident: city, year, charge(s), convictions/penalties/dismissals.
Measures approx. 7x5x0.75"

A new series from Top Cow and Image Comics called St. Mercy, by the creative team of John Zuur Platten and Atilio Rojo, will be set in the Wild West and tell the story of Mercedes Oro, a descendant of the Incan Empire protecting cursed gold used in human sacrifices, which is stolen by an outlaw, and you know the deal: hilarity ensues. But the description of the comic says it will feature "two strong, determined young women who must defy authority and ultimately embrace their destiny," and in the preview below we see another, Toctollissica, an Incan girl chosen to be a special human sacrifice.
From the press release:
A tale of vengeful retribution, St. Mercy pits the Incan Empire against the American West—and features two strong, determined young women who must defy authority and ultimately embrace their destiny. Mercedes Oro is one of the surviving descendants of the Incans who has been charged with protecting a cache of cursed gold used in their child sacrifice rituals.
But when an outlaw tries to steal the gold for his band of thieves, he unknowingly sets events in motion that will unleash an angry god who is willing to travel through the centuries to have what he desires.
I've always been fascinated by mythical stories of characters facing impossible odds, and in St. Mercy, I was able to explore this for two young heroines connected through time. Each must find the willpower to defy the evil and the powerful in the face of personal tragedy. And while St. Mercy has its roots in the tradition of classic westerns, things take a violent, bloody, and unexpected turn once the demonic children appear.
Well, I'm really enjoying the series. It has a lot of elements that I enjoy drawing. This project demands a different aesthetic treatment, which is always refreshing for me!
The four-issue series begins in August, with St. Mercy #1 (Diamond Code JUN210074) hitting stores on Wednesday, August 25th.

text: From an education in engineering I returned to be the 8th generation milking cows on our family farm, steeped in a diverse landscape at the foot of the Slieve Blooms in Co. Laois. 20 years later and with the abolition of milk quotas, we have extended our herd from 54 milking cows to 250. It has been fun! After acquiring a strange obsession with dung beetles, I was fortunate enough to receive a Nuffield scholarship to investigate their merits to agriculture and the wider environment. As my stock numbers have increased so too has the impact my farm practices have on the environment. With 2 small children and the fact that I am very proud of my ancestry, I want to ensure that my children will be proud of the impact I made on the environment, so it has to be positive and not just about profit. I often think about the future generations and how they will perceive our current practices in our industry. I don’t want to mess it up for them.
