There C7 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is finally here, and it will blow the hood off almost every supercar ever made. It’s the fastest, most powerful Corvette yet!
Expectedly, the latest ZR1 shares much of its hardware with the but kicks things up a notch by offering more power, better handling and more overall refinement. Breathing under its hood is a supercharged LT5 V8 that pumps out a whopping 755 horsepower and 715 pound-feet of torque, making it not only the most powerful Corvette ever, but also the most powerful vehicle to roll off Chevy’s assembly line.
A seven-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission — your choice — channels all that power to the rear wheels, allowing the Corvette ZR1 to sprint to 60 mph (96 km/h) from a standstill in approximately 2.8 seconds on route to a top speed of over 210 mph (338 km/h)! That’s puts it in the highly coveted 2 second and 200 mph clubs, which includes the Bugatti Chirron and other world-class exotics.
The Corvette Z06 launched with overheating issues; to spare the ZR1 that fate, engineers equipped a new intercooler and supercharger system, a redesigned nose, a hood opening that channels air to the intercooler, and 13 heat exchangers.
Two aero packages are available to help improve handling, both integrated into the chassis and working in unison with a new front underwing. The first delivers the highest top speed, featuring a low wing that helps generate up to 70 percent more downforce than the Z06’s base aero package.
The second is a two-way-adjustable High Wing that delivers maximum downforce on the track for the quickest lap times, offering 60 percent more downforce than the Z06 with the Z07 Performance Package.
Functional design elements aside, the new Corvette ZR1 introduces a new Sebring Orange Design Package that gives the exterior a Sebring Orange Tintcoat complimented by orange stripes on the rocker panels and splitter, and orange brake calipers. It spruces up the interior with orange and bronze aluminum trim.
Sales of the all-new, 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 start in spring 2018 with a price tag of over $100,000. It will undoubtedly put all other supercars on notice.
Are you happy with how Chevy’s monster turned out?
Chevy Camaro Gets New Face And Butt, Plus Turbo 1LE Model For 2019 MY
The sixth-generation Chevy Camaro has received a refresh for its 2019 model year in an effort to narrow the sales gap with the Ford Mustang, gaining a revised exterior, a new 1LE Turbo model, a new 10-speed automatic transmission, and improved gadgets.
Starting off with the exterior, designers have revised the front end to be distinct between the LS/LT, RS and SS variants. The SS stands out with a ‘flowtie’ open bowtie grille emblem and larger air curtains, package-specific headlights, and a new extractor-style hood, while the RS appearance package includes a unique polished black grille with Galvano Chrome lower inserts, an LED signature bar, and 20-inch wheels. The RS, SS and ZL1 models get dark-tinted lenses.
All models now feature classic-design, four LED oval taillights, which I think looks better than the generic rectangle shape of the original design.
Inside, the updated Camaro gets Chevy’s next-generation Infotainment 3 system. The standard system uses a 7-inch touchscreen, while a larger 8-inch touchscreen is optional. A Rear Camera Mirror and Forward Collision Alert system are now available.
The biggest news is the introduction of Camaro Turbo 1LE, which joins the V6 1LE, SS 1LE and ZL1 1LE models in the Camaro lineup. It is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that — paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission — produces 275-hp and 295 lb-ft. of torque.
An upgraded suspension, staggered 20-inch summer tires, Brembo brakes, and a Driver Mode Selector with Sport Mode and new Track mode are also part of the package.
So, what do you think about the Camaro’s new face and butt? Did Chevy’s designers get them right?
Chevy Spark Gets More Chrome, New Safety Tech For 2019 MY
Yes, General Motors still sells the diminutive Chevrolet Spark, a car we haven’t heard much of in a very long time. Not only is it still around, but Chevy’s mini-car has also gotten more attractive and safer for its 2019 model year.
The affordable Spark receives several updates for its 2019 model year, including a new front fascia with more chrome accent and available projector-style headlights and LED daytime running lights. New duel-element taillights can be found at the rear.
To help prevent that prettier face from being smashed-up, the 2019 Spark is available with Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking that’s claimed to be a first for the segment. The system is part of of the available Driver Confidence Package, which also includes forward-collision alert and lane-departure warning.
All Spark models are powered by a 98 horsepower, 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine mated to either a continuously variable transmission or manual gearbox. Four different trim levels are available — all coming standard with air conditioning and a rear-vision camera system — including the Activ with its 10mm raised ride height and “crossover-inspired” design cues like body cladding.
Refreshed, 2019 Chevy Cruze Gets More ‘Upscale’ Look
General Motors has introduced the restyled 2019 Chevrolet Cruze, which brings a more upscale appearance to the compact car segment. Are the changes enough to improve falling sales?
The updates are not major, with the most noteworthy being a redesigned grille that keeps the Cruze looking fresh in the shrinking yet competitive segment. Opting for the top Premiere trim also gets you new taillights with LED accents.
John Cafaro, executive director, Global Chevrolet Design, stated:
“Cruze’s refreshed styling gives Cruze a more upscale look while maintaining its Chevrolet design DNA.”
Other updates include a standard 7-inch infotainment system, new alloy wheels, and automatic climate control on LT and Premiere models and revised trim elements for the sportier RS model.
The 2019 Chevy Cruze is available with either a 1.4L turbo or 1.6L turbo-diesel engine. A six-speed manual transmission is no longer offered.

To me, this news is not surprising, because when I was watching Beyonce’s performance of The Star-Spangled Banner yesterday, I kept looking for signs she was faking it. I mean, Bey slayed yesterday.
She was perfect. Too perfect.
But she got me. When she ripped out her ear pierce I was thrown, because what was the point of that. Then I remembered Bey’s performance at the MTV Music Awards a couple years back and her big baby bump reveal on stage. Yes, she’s the ultimate STUNT QUEEN.
The London-Times is saying Bey stunt queened all over the Presidential Inauguration yesterday, because the lovely singing we heard yesterday wasn’t live, but a pre-recorded track. Oops at Bey:
A spokeswoman for the Marine Corp Band said it was standard procedure to record a backing track and Beyoncé decided shortly before her performance to rely on the studio version rather than risk singing it live on the Capitol.
Yo Yo Ma pre-recorded his cello performance in 2008 because the cold weather and wind may have affected the acoustics of his instrument. Vocal performers, however, typically do perform live despite January’s icy conditions.
“We did pre-record it and it was Beyoncé’s decision at the last minute to go with the pre-recorded version,” said a spokeswoman for the band.
“We pre-recorded all music as a matter of course and have done since time immemorial,” she said. “This is our 54th inauguration… There is no question of there not being any music – it’s not because the performer cannot do it.”
It’s really not that big of a deal overall – most performers actually lip-sync at live events where the sound quality can be questionable. Whitney Houston did it best for the Super Bowl back in 1991. However, Whitney also didn’t rip her ear pierce out in an effort to convince the world she was singing live, either.
And in case you’re wondering about Kelly Clarkson’s amazing rendition “My Country Tis of Thee,” TMZ confirms Kelly did in fact sing it live.


Best practice: Miscellaneous
Reporting of pedestrian safety1. Pedestrian safety must be reported separately from other modes of travel; whilst the UK has good figures for numbers of car occupants killed or seriously injured (car occupant KSIs), it has poor figures for pedestrian KSIs.
2. Road safety must not be equated with low KSI figures. Whilst this might be true for car occupants, for pedestrians and cyclists, many journeys are not undertaken because of fear of injury or death, and so KSI figures alone give a misleading indication. Some of the most dangerous roads have no pedestrian injuries because they are recognised as being too dangerous to walk on. In fact, the greatest health effects from motor vehicle danger are the indirect effects through fear of injury causing child and adult inactivity, obesity, diabetes, heart disease and so on, rather than the direct effect of the injuries.
Overhanging hedges and treesEast Sussex County Council has a campaign to urge landowners who are responsible for hedges and trees which overhang roads and pavements to 'cut it back' .

Social Media Sentiment Analysis of March Madness Upsets
Fan reactions to the historic Purdue vs. Fairleigh Dickinson matchup
Henry Chapman, Research and Insights Analyst
March Madness grips social media
March Madness gripped social media in 2023. Diehard basketball fans took to social to express their emotions and opinions throughout March. The tournament's fabled upsets provided social intelligence geeks like us an amazing opportunity to conduct audience segmentation and emotional analysis using Infegy Atlas.
For this brief, we focused on this year's most surprising and least anticipated upset: first-seeded Purdue’s defeat to sixteenth-seeded Fairleigh Dickinson University. This defeat marked only the second time in NCAA tournament history that a sixteenth-seeded team triumphed over a first-seeded one. This provoked intense reactions from the Purdue fanbase.
Purdue fans’ negativity overshadows Fairleigh Dickinson fans’ celebration
During our social listening dive, we found that fans’ social media outpourings were more focused on expressing negative responses surrounding a top-seeded team's loss rather than celebrating an underdog's victory. This reaction supports the theory of human negativity bias, i.e., humans tend to pay attention to more negative events than positive ones.
Additionally, negative emotions like anger or fear generally evoke strong reactions, which promote engagement from basketball fans. One social media, this translated into post volume. We found that both post volume and sentimental topic analysis corroborate that Purdue fans dwelled on the loss substantially more than Fairleigh Dickinson fans celebrated their victory on social media.
Purdue basketball overwhelms Fairleigh Dickinson post volume
After conducting an audience segment analysis over the last 90 days, we detected 127,795 posts attributed to Purdue Basketball fans, compared to a mere 1,094 posts from Fairleigh Dickinson basketball fans. First of all, this significant disparity suggests that Purdue Basketball has a more durable online following.
In addition, Purdue fans are more immersed in the team's online community. Despite the groundbreaking loss, there was substantial conversation from Purdue fans about their loss, while Fairleigh Dickinson fans fell relatively silent just days after the big win.
Social intelligence data on Purdue fan grievances
During our linguistic analysis of Purdue fan conversations, we found fixation on grievances associated with the game: we detected complaints against the referees and Purdue's offense and defense. The word “Purdue” itself showed up as the predominant negative keyword. The word "Fraud" appeared in the Fairleigh Dickinson negative sentiment word cloud, but diving into posts, we found that it actually referred to Purdue, not Fairleigh Dickinson itself.
Sentiment and Emotions analysis: “same but different” findings.
Infegy Atlas Sentiment Analysis and Emotion metrics of March Madness conversation reveal some intriguing results. A single event can elicit starkly contrasting feelings and emotions among fans of different teams. This showcases the power of these high-stakes moments in shaping fan experiences.
For example, we found that fanbases use the same hashtag, #cinderella, but with differing sentiments. Also, Emotions analysis revealed that surprise was a common emotion in conversation from both fanbases, but Purdue fans expressed predominantly negative sentiment, a natural outcome of their team's loss. Let’s take a closer look.
Examination of “#cinderella” highlights the importance of context in sentiment analysis
We examined how different fanbases utilized the same hashtag, #cinderella, but in very different ways. Commonly used in March Madness, #cinderella refers to teams that defy expectations and progress far in the tournament. Purdue fans employed #cinderella in a predominantly negative way, while Fairleigh Dickinson fans used it in a much more positive manner. This differing usage underscores the importance of contextual awareness when analyzing online sentiment, as different audiences may use the same word with varying meanings and intentions.
Surprise unites both fanbases
Infegy Atlas Emotions show that Surprise was the leading metric in both cases (Emotions measures the percentage of the conversation that contains. However, Purdue fans experienced anger, disgust, and sadness in the game's immediate aftermath.
Conversely, Fairleigh Dickinson fans expressed joy and anticipation as their predominant emotions. These differing emotions highlight the significance of contextual awareness when interpreting social media sentiment, which can be crucial for businesses and organizations when engaging with their target audiences.
Context and audience segmentation are key to social intelligence analysis
The social listening dive into March Madness conversations reminded us how vital audience segmentation is when assessing responses to big events. It’s also essential to ensure that linguistic analysis tools account for context!
Social media emotions during March Madness 2023 reveal that fans tend to focus more on the negative aspects of a top-seeded team's loss than the underdog's success. The analysis of emotions and sentiments expressed by Purdue and Fairleigh Dickinson fans during their historic matchup offers a unique perspective on the impact of unexpected outcomes in sports.

* March WCS quoted at $24.25/bbl under WTI * Narrowest WCS spread since Oct 23 * March synthetic $1.30/bbl over WTI CALGARY, Alberta, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Canadian heavy crude prices rose on Friday for the sixth straight session this month as reduced pipeline rationing made for improved access to markets and as Imperial Oil Ltd worked to return operations at an Ontario refinery to normal. Western Canada Select heavy blend for March delivery last sold for $24.25 a barrel under benchmark West Texas Intermediate, narrowing its discount from a Thursday settlement of $25 a barrel under, according to Shorcan Energy Brokers. That was its tightest differential since Oct 23. WCS gains have been steady after two months of discounts that at times topped $40 a barrel. Surging production, tight pipeline capacity and a series of refinery outages were blamed for the slump, and those fundamentals are largely unchanged. Imperial said it was returning operations at the 121,000 barrel a day Sarnia, Ontario, refinery to normal following a undisclosed problem at the end of January. Apportionment levels on Enbridge Inc's pipeline network to the U.S. Midwest are below those set for last month, easing some of the price pressure, traders have said. In addition, the start-up of Imperial's 110,000 barrel a day Kearl project in northern Alberta, first expected to begin commercial production at the end of 2012, is now targeted for the end of the first quarter. Full production is scheduled for the "next several months". Light synthetic crude prices also gained on Friday. It was last quoted at $1.30 a barrel above WTI, up 40 cents from Thursday. This week, Suncor Energy Inc and Syncrude Canada reported lower oil sands-derived crude production for January.

The new laboratory of IBT CAS will focus on the metabolism of healthy tissue and tumor
In October 2020 a new research group started at the Institute of Biotechnology (IBT) of the Czech Academy of Sciences located at the BIOCEV center. Head of the group, Dr. Katerina Rohlenova, returned to the Czech Republic after a postdoctoral stay in the laboratory of Prof. Peter Carmeliet at the Center for Cancer Biology (VIB-KU Leuven) in Belgium, where she studied metabolism of cells that form blood vessels in tumors. At IBT Katerina teamed-up with Dr. Jakub Rohlena, a cancer metabolism expert, and together with two other colleagues, Ph.D. students Mirko Milosevic and Silvia Novais, will focus on intercellular metabolic crosstalk in healthy tissues and in tumors.
Healthy tissues as well as malignant tumors consist of multiple cell types that metabolically communicate with each other, e.g. one cell type produces metabolites that are then taken up by another cell type in the same tissue. This enables growth and survival in nutrient-poor environments.
"We think that metabolic crosstalk can limit the efficacy of metabolic interventions targeted at cancer cells. An example is anti-nucleotide therapy, which was established more than 70 years ago as one of the first approaches for treatment of cancer, but up to now it suffers from resistance and is rather toxic for healthy tissue. Our goal is to find out how cells in tissues trade metabolites, and if healthy tissues and tumors differ in their metabolic trading patterns. Such differences could be used to develop new therapeutic strategies. We will combine our expertise in metabolism and mouse models with single cell technologies, which I became familiar with during my postdoc," says Kateřina Rohlenová.
Complexity of tissues precludes the use of traditional techniques of metabolic research, using which the individual cell types cannot be studied in their natural environments. This hindered our understanding of metabolic interactions in the past. "We will now use single cell OMICS to map the crosstalk ‘one cell at a time’. This will allow us to study what was thought to be known from a unique angle with an unprecedented resolution. We believe that our research has a great potential for fundamental discoveries with high translational relevance," adds Kateřina.
"IBT/BIOCEV was the place of choice for our new research group, with the required instrumentation and expertise in single cell genomics and metabolic research in place, and with a state-of-the-art animal clinic in a building next door. Importantly, at IBT we also have a unique opportunity to further characterize and develop newly-identified therapeutic targets by combining the established methods of structural/protein biology and custom synthesis of specific inhibitors," adds Jakub Rohlena.

The next movie from the successful animation studio is titled "Onward," which will feature an amazing voice cast. Tom Holland (Spider-Man: Homecoming), Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Seinfeld), and Octavia Spencer (Hidden Figures) will be taking the lead in the upcoming animated feature! Spider-Man and Star-Lord in the same project? Yes, please!
After the announcement from the studio, Tom Holland shared an Instagram video, confirming the news for him and the others. He gave us a release date, too. "Onward" is going to be released on 6 March 2020. You can watch Holland's enthusiastic announcement video below.
The studio gave us some hint about the plot, too. "Onward" is going to center on two teenage elf brothers and their struggle to find magic in the modern world. “At Pixar, we try to create stories that come from some kind of personal truth. This film was inspired by my own relationship with my brother,” director Dan Scanlon said. Scanlon will be directing the movie, which he has co-written with Toy Story 4 writer, C.S. Anderson.


text: Wainwright. Hemoglobin bound to carbon monoxide is known as carboxyhemoglobin. Examples: Fe, Au, Co, Br, C, O, N, F. You can use parenthesis or brackets . A&C Black. The molar mass of sodium chloride is known; it is 58.44 g mol −1.  Transferrin contains Fe3+ in the middle of a distorted octahedron, bonded to one nitrogen, three oxygens and a chelating carbonate anion that traps the Fe3+ ion: it has such a high stability constant that it is very effective at taking up Fe3+ ions even from the most stable complexes.  Myoglobin, on the other hand, contains only one heme group and hence this cooperative effect cannot occur. Tylecote, "Iron in the Industrial Revolution" in J. Ignition of a mixture of aluminium powder and iron oxide yields metallic iron via the thermite reaction: Alternatively pig iron may be made into steel (with up to about 2% carbon) or wrought iron (commercially pure iron).  Railways have been central to the formation of modernity and ideas of progress and various languages (e.g.  The technology developed slowly, and even after the discovery of smelting it took many centuries for iron to replace bronze as the metal of choice for tools and weapons. , Infants may require iron supplements if they are bottle-fed cow's milk.  The iron–sulfur clusters are pervasive and include nitrogenase, the enzymes responsible for biological nitrogen fixation. The molar mass is determined by adding together the atomic weight of each atom in the compound.  During the medieval period, means were found in Europe of producing wrought iron from cast iron (in this context known as pig iron) using finery forges. The mechanical properties of iron and its alloys are extremely relevant to their structural applications. Frederick William III commissioned then the first Iron Cross as military decoration. Co-limitation of diatoms by iron and silicic acid in the equatorial Pacific. , Some archaeological evidence suggests iron was smelted in Zimbabwe and southeast Africa as early as the eighth century BC. In 1783 he patented the puddling process for refining iron ore. Influence of light and temperature on the marine iron cycle: From theoretical to global modeling. The molar mass of the reagent, Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2.6H2O is 392.14 g/mol. Calculate the molar mass of hemoglobin. Reducing the amount of carbon to 0.002–2.1% by mass-produces steel, which may be up to 1000 times harder than pure iron. For men the PRI is 11 mg/day ages 15 and older.  However, the mechanical properties of iron are significantly affected by the sample's purity: pure, single crystals of iron are actually softer than aluminium, and the purest industrially produced iron (99.99%) has a hardness of 20–30 Brinell. A common request on this site is to convert grams to moles. Thus, by knowing the molar mass, we can determine the number of moles contained in a given mass of a sample. Iron(II) compounds tend to be oxidized to iron(III) compounds in the air. This results in the Fe2+ ion switching to a low-spin configuration, resulting in a 20% decrease in ionic radius so that now it can fit into the porphyrin ring, which becomes planar. Its low cost and high strength often make it the material of choice material to withstand stress or transmit forces, such as the construction of machinery and machine tools, rails, automobiles, ship hulls, concrete reinforcing bars, and the load-carrying framework of buildings. The PRIs are higher than the U.S. RDAs, with the exception of pregnancy.  Because of this, too much of a decrease in iron may lead to a decrease in growth rates in phytoplanktonic organisms such as diatoms. Iron(II) Perchlorate Fe(ClO4)2 Molar Mass, Molecular Weight. Atomen zijn te klein voor zinvolle metingen van chemische stoffen. Collectively the EARs, RDAs and ULs are referred to as Dietary Reference Intakes. The amount of stress required to permanently damage them increased 76 times. Iron catalysts are traditionally used in the Haber-Bosch process for the production of ammonia and the Fischer-Tropsch process for conversion of carbon monoxide to hydrocarbons for fuels and lubricants. Mass, molar concentration, volume, and formula weight are related to each other as follows: Mass (g) = Concentration (mol/L) * Volume (L) * Formula Weight (g/mol) What is mass? Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world. , Although the dominant use of iron is in metallurgy, iron compounds are also pervasive in industry. Iron toxicity occurs when the cell contains free iron, which generally occurs when iron levels exceed the availability of transferrin to bind the iron. This relationship is frequently used in the laboratory. (2001) "The State and the Iron Industry in Han China", NIAS Publishing, Copenhagen. Pig iron is not a saleable product, but rather an intermediate step in the production of cast iron and steel. The periodic table lists the atomic mass of carbon as 12.011 amu; the average molar mass of carbon—the mass of 6.022 × 10 23 carbon atoms—is therefore 12.011 g/mol: Most cases of iron-deficiency anemia are mild, but if not treated can cause problems like fast or irregular heartbeat, complications during pregnancy, and delayed growth in infants and children. ›› Fe molecular weight. Morel, F.M.M., Hudson, R.J.M., & Price, N.M. (1991). Since pure iron is quite soft, it is most commonly combined with alloying elements to make steel.. It has the chemical formula Fe 2 O 3 and is reddish-brown in color, which makes it useful in pigments for cosmetics and paints. Russian железо [zhelezo], Polish żelazo, Lithuanian geležis) are the only ones to come directly from the Proto-Indo-European *ghelgh- "iron". molar mass: The mass of a given substance (chemical element or chemical compound in g) divided by its amount of substance (mol). Finding Molar Mass. Convert grams FePO4 to moles or moles FePO4 to grams. Thus, when deoxyhemoglobin takes up oxygen, its affinity for more oxygen increases, and vice versa. , New methods of producing it by carburizing bars of iron in the cementation process were devised in the 17th century. For women the PRI is 13 mg/day ages 15–17 years, 16 mg/day for women ages 18 and up who are premenopausal and 11 mg/day postmenopausal. Molar Mass: 354.1968. 111.86 g. …  Iron proteins are involved in electron transfer. Molaire massa berekenen. Mass (m) is the amount of matter present in a substance. This means that 0.2 moles is equal to 11.2 grams of iron. The mechanism of the rusting of iron is as follows:, The electrolyte is usually iron(II) sulfate in urban areas (formed when atmospheric sulfur dioxide attacks iron), and salt particles in the atmosphere in seaside areas. , Iron provided by dietary supplements is often found as iron(II) fumarate, although iron(II) sulfate is cheaper and is absorbed equally well. Steel (with smaller carbon content than pig iron but more than wrought iron) was first produced in antiquity by using a bloomery. , This article is about the metallic element. Cooling a mixture of iron with 0.8% carbon slowly below 723 °C to room temperature results in separate, alternating layers of cementite and α-iron, which is soft and malleable and is called pearlite for its appearance. If i wanted to calculate the molar mass of hemoglobin wouldn't I have to know what else it is made up of beside Fe? , Examples of iron-containing proteins in higher organisms include hemoglobin, cytochrome (see high-valent iron), and catalase. Damage to the cells of the gastrointestinal tract can also prevent them from regulating iron absorption, leading to further increases in blood levels. This site explains how to find molar mass. , Iron plays an essential role in marine systems and can act as a limiting nutrient for planktonic activity. , Medieval blast furnaces were about 10 feet (3.0 m) tall and made of fireproof brick; forced air was usually provided by hand-operated bellows. What we will do is figure of the CaSO 4 and the H 2 O separately, the then divide the H 2 O value by two. French, Spanish, Italian and German) refer to railways as iron road. Molecular mass or molar mass are used in stoichiometry calculations in chemistry. Wrought iron is more corrosion resistant than steel. For U.S. food and dietary supplement labeling purposes the amount in a serving is expressed as a percent of Daily Value (%DV). Molar mass of Fe(OH)3 = 106.86702 g/mol. Some examples of iron metalloproteins are ferritin and rubredoxin. Annealing consists of heating them to 700–800 °C for several hours and then gradual cooling. Multiply that by the number of moles, and the answer is 223.57 grams. Now suppose the measured mass of Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2.6H2O during the practical was 0.0218 g and this was dissolved in 50ml of deionized water that contains 1 to 2ml of concentrated sulphuric acid and transfer quantitatively to a 250ml volumetric flask using a funnel and a glass rod and dilute to the mark. This bridge still stands today as a monument to the role iron played in the Industrial Revolution.  Alleged references (compare history of metallurgy in South Asia) to iron in the Indian Vedas have been used for claims of a very early usage of iron in India respectively to date the texts as such.  The cytochrome proteins also involve heme groups and are involved in the metabolic oxidation of glucose by oxygen. These methods were specialized, and so steel did not become a major commodity until the 1850s.  In many of these languages, the word for iron may also be used to denote other objects made of iron or steel, or figuratively because of the hardness and strength of the metal. Molar mass of Fe is 55.8450 g/mol Compound name is iron Convert between Fe weight and moles , Steel products often undergo various heat treatments after they are forged to shape. example: NaCl has a molecular weight of 58.5 a.m.u. The ensuing availability of inexpensive iron was one of the factors leading to the Industrial Revolution. For children ages 1 to 14 the PRI increases from 7 to 11 mg/day.  Here, the electron transfer takes place as the iron remains in low spin but changes between the +2 and +3 oxidation states. CS1 maint: BOT: original-url status unknown (.  Other metals can be added at this stage to form alloy steels. The molar mass links the mass of a substance to its moles. Now suppose the measured mass of Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2.6H2O during the practical was 0.0218 g and this was dissolved in 50ml of deionized water that contains 1 to 2ml of concentrated sulphuric acid and transfer quantitatively to a 250ml volumetric flask using a funnel and a glass rod and dilute to the mark. Cytochrome a is slightly distinct, as it occurs at the mitochondrial membrane, binds directly to oxygen, and transports protons as well as electrons, as follows:, Although the heme proteins are the most important class of iron-containing proteins, the iron-sulfur proteins are also very important, being involved in electron transfer, which is possible since iron can exist stably in either the +2 or +3 oxidation states. Elemental composition of Fe 4 [Fe(CN) 6] 3; Element name Element symbol Number of atoms Relative atomic mass Mass of the element (g) Mass fraction (%) Iron: Fe: 7: 55.845 For men the EAR is 6.0 mg/day for ages 19 and up. , The ability of sea mussels to maintain their grip on rocks in the ocean is facilitated by their use of organometallic iron-based bonds in their protein-rich cuticles.  The slag can be used as a material in road construction or to improve mineral-poor soils for agriculture.  Regulation of iron uptake is impaired in some people as a result of a genetic defect that maps to the HLA-H gene region on chromosome 6 and leads to abnormally low levels of hepcidin, a key regulator of the entry of iron into the circulatory system in mammals. 55.93 amu. , The role of iron in cancer defense can be described as a "double-edged sword" because of its pervasive presence in non-pathological processes. 4Fe(s) + 302(9) 2Fe2O3(s) Brezezinski, M.A., Baines, S.B., Balch, W.M., Beucher, C.P., Chai, F., Dugdale, R.C., Krause, J.W., Landry, M.R., Marchi, A., Measures, C.I., Nelson, D.M., Parker, A.E., Poulton, A.J., Selph, K.E., Strutton, P.G., Taylor, A.G., & Twining, B.S.(2011). Although it is lighter than another traditional protection material, lead, it is much stronger mechanically. Maximum hardness of 65 Rc is achieved with a 0.6% carbon content, although the alloy has low tensile strength. This determines the molar mass for the entire compound. The base SI unit for mass is the kilogram but, for both practical and historical reasons, molar masses are almost always quoted in grams per mole (g/mol or g mol–1), especially in chemistry. , Meteoritic iron is comparably soft and ductile and easily cold forged but may get brittle when heated because of the nickel content.. The electrons have so little mass compared to the rest of the atom that their masses can be ignored. H 2 O ---> 18.015 g/mol (Water is the first example in the video.). The molar mass of any substance is the mass in grams of one mole of representative particles of that substance.  The word ferrum itself possibly comes from the Semitic languages, via Etruscan, from a root that also gave rise to Old English bræs "brass". mole: The amount of substance of a system that contains as many elementary entities as there are atoms in 12 g of carbon-12. O... See full answer below. 10.1016/j.dsr2.2010.08.005. The steel can then be tempered by reheating to a temperature in between, changing the proportions of pearlite and martensite. Download Image. The molar mass is determined by adding together the atomic weight of each atom in the compound. Fe Molar Mass; Fe Molar Mass. Hey the molar mass of Iron [Fe] is 55.85 g/mol. The first iron production started in the Middle Bronze Age, but it took several centuries before iron displaced bronze. , During the Industrial Revolution in Britain, Henry Cort began refining iron from pig iron to wrought iron (or bar iron) using innovative production systems. We use the most common isotopes. It is a metal in the first transition series. Toward the end of the 18th century, cast iron began to replace wrought iron for certain purposes, because it was cheaper.  Pig iron has a melting point in the range of 1420–1470 K, which is lower than either of its two main components, and makes it the first product to be melted when carbon and iron are heated together. Formula: For iron labeling purposes 100% of the Daily Value was 18 mg, and as of May 27, 2016[update] remained unchanged at 18 mg. Compliance with the updated labeling regulations was required by 1 January 2020, for manufacturers with $10 million or more in annual food sales, and by 1 January 2021, for manufacturers with less than $10 million in annual food sales. The properties of pure iron are often used to calibrate measurements or to compare tests. Molar Mass. H 2 O ---> 18.015 g/mol (Water is the first example in the video.).  Another method is electrolysis of ferrous chloride onto an iron cathode.. One common alloy steel, though, is stainless steel. Formula: Fe(NH4)2(SO4)6H2O Molar Mass: 686.268 g/mol 1g=1.45715667931479E-03 mol Percent composition (by mass): Element Count Atom Mass %(by mass) Fe …  In hemoglobin, the iron is in one of four heme groups and has six possible coordination sites; four are occupied by nitrogen atoms in a porphyrin ring, the fifth by an imidazole nitrogen in a histidine residue of one of the protein chains attached to the heme group, and the sixth is reserved for the oxygen molecule it can reversibly bind to. Iron (/ ˈ aɪ ər n /) is a chemical element with symbol Fe (from Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. What we will do is figure of the CaSO 4 and the H 2 O separately, the then divide the H 2 O value by two. . The elemental symbol for iron is Fe, and according to my periodic table, the molecular mass is 55.845 to three decimal places. doi: Tagliabue, A., Bopp, L., Aumont,O., & Arrigo, K.R. Air pre-heated to 900 °C is blown through the mixture, in sufficient amount to turn the carbon into carbon monoxide:, This reaction raises the temperature to about 2000 °C The carbon monoxide reduces the iron ore to metallic iron, Some iron in the high-temperature lower region of the furnace reacts directly with the coke:, A flux such as limestone (calcium carbonate) or dolomite (calcium-magnesium carbonate) is also added to the furnace's load.

Cornerstone Page Builder Review
By Sean Ondes | Last updated: March 15, 2020
Cornerstone, developed by Themeco, is built into and tightly integrated with their X and Pro Themes. Themeco has also made it available for sale on CodeCanyon as a stand alone page builder. Cornerstone has a very clean look and uses some novel approaches to page building. However, the interface can be confusing and it will only work with themes that include a full page layout template.
Note: My work on this site is supported by affiliate commissions. I may earn a commission if you buy something from a link in my reviews. None of my reviews are solicited. I receive no direct compensation from anyone for writing reviews.
Cornerstone’s interface has a very clean, professional look with an impressive number of customization options. The main UI does a very good job of including a lot of settings inside a fairly small footprint.
Does the interface make sense?
When active, each element typically has a large number of settings that can be customized. The settings grouped into “Setup,” “Design,” and “Customize.” In some cases there are options that are redundant or might even conflict with one another. A good example of this is in the Headline element. This element has a section called “Setup” with options to set a base font size and heading tag. Then later in the Headline options is a “Text Format” section that has text options including another setting for font size.
Cornerstone also includes “global” settings for fonts and colors. Don’t be confused (like I was), these settings are not the same as those included with the active theme on your site. These font and color settings only affect pages built with Cornerstone.
However, in some respects the user interface can be confusing. One place for improvement would be the icons stacked on the far left of the editor. The functions of these icons aren’t all intuitive enough for an inexperienced Cornerstone user to know what they do without clicking on them first. That all said, the learning curve isn’t too steep.
Is live editing possible?
The latest versions of the Cornerstone plugin include live, inline text editing.
Cornerstone’s developers bill their plugin as live editing 100% of the time. In practice, this means that there is really no back end editing interface. Though there is a “skeleton mode”.
Cornerstone includes a fairly standard assortment of elements. Compared to other page builders, the number of elements included is on the small side.
Are modules well organized into recognizable categories?
Elements in Cornerstone are not grouped at all.
Instead of grouping them into categories, Cornerstone elements are organized alphabetically with a search field at the top of the section. With some experience using Cornerstone it’s possible to get the hang of the interface but this is not a selling point. It would be nice to see everything grouped together into sensible, browse-able categories.
An oddity in the list of elements is that there are essentially two lists of included elements. After scrolling to the bottom of the main group, there’s a second group all labelled “classic elements.” I’ve been watching Cornerstone for a few years and can tell that the classic elements are left over from previous builds of the plugin. They only seem to be included to provide backward compatibility.
The effect of including these older elements is confusion. It would have been a lot better if the developers had come up with a different solution such as porting settings from the old elements into the newer ones.
To complicate it further, not all the classic elements have newer counterparts. If you want to use a pricing table element for example, you’ll have to use the classic one. I have to wonder when the developers will stop supporting the classic elements.
Layouts and Templates
While the Pro Theme from Themeco includes dozens of nice looking, Cornerstone based layouts, the standalone version of Cornerstone comes with 5 template sections and 33 element presets included. Element presets are basic Cornerstone elements that have preconfigured settings. There are no full page templates available. Element presets can be a great head start when setting up an unfamiliar element but they hardly take the place of full page layouts.
The oversight of not including full page templates (intentional or not) has created a something of a cottage industry for paid Cornerstone templates. A quick search shows that there are at least a dozen sites selling templates for this page builder. The quality of the layouts varies widely.
In my testing, I found no specific theme incompatibilities. Cornerstone seems to work as designed with any theme that adheres to WordPress’ best practices for theme building. Cornerstone doesn’t include a full width page template so make sure that whatever theme you choose has one.
Installation and Removal
How easy/hard is it to install?
Installs normally. Nothing special needed to be done.
Lock in is a problem with Cornerstone
Since it’s release, the developers have definitely made improvements in performance and in adding new features. Since they’ve had plenty of time, it looks like they’re sticking with the shortcode approach to page building.
Disabling the plugin leaves behind a mess of all the Cornerstone shortcodes. It’s a pretty ugly sight but only a problem if you plan on switching to another page builder plugin.
Performance and Updates
How fast is Cornerstone?
Shared hosting is generally the slowest hosting environment so that’s what I use for testing page builder responsiveness. I typically increase WordPress’ memory allocation to 256MB. The Cornerstone editing interface loads quickly in a Siteground shared hosting environment with this much memory. I’ve also seen recommendations in Themeco’s Cornerstone support forum to set memory to 256MB.
The editor responds quickly and text edits are visible almost instantly in the live preview screen.
Does the plugin slow down page loading?
Cornerstone doesn’t have any obvious effect on page loading.
Themeco regularly releases updates and bug fixes — sometimes weekly.
Customer Support and Documentation
What kind of support is available?
Themeco includes 6 months of support with each purchase. Additional support can be purchased through Codecanyon.
How to contact support (email, phone, chat, slack, ticketing system, etc?)
Support is provided through a premium support forum. They claim to respond to support requests within 24 hours. In practice, this is pretty much accurate. Users are granted access to the support forum after purchasing the plugin and creating a Themeco account. Themeco also provides a peer-to-peer forum and a knowledge base archive of how-to articles.
$35 on Codecanyon. Cornerstone is included with Themeco’s X Theme WordPress theme.
One time packages or subscription model?
One-time cost which includes all future updates on one installation and 6 months of support. Support can be renewed through Codecanyon for a slightly discounted price.
When Cornerstone was first released it looked really promising. It’s most major drawback then and now is that the layouts it creates are shortcode based.
If you’ve read my other reviews of shortcode based page builders, you know how much they bug me. In 2019, using shortcodes like this is obviously unnecessary. Just look at Elementor, Beaver Builder, and Brizy Pro. I consider it to be a development choice made that is meant to lock in users. The amount of work involved after deactivating a shortcode based page builder can be immense on even moderately sized websites.
My name is Sean. I've been building websites for more than 15 years. For the last 8 years, I've been working almost exclusively with WordPress and Shopify.
I've read all the blog posts that review the "Best WordPress Page Builders" or the "Top 5 WordPress Page Builders". They can be helpful but after I finished all that reading, I still didn't know which one to choose.
The only thing left to do was try them all. I've spent my own money and hundreds of hours testing every WordPress page builder that I can get my hands on. I'm putting all this together because I personally have needed a resource exactly like this for a long time!
I' don't favor any single page builder over another. I'm not really even promoting WordPress. This guide is for people who have already decided that WordPress is the right fit for them and need the flexibility of using a page builder.

It draws busloads of Sin City tourists, it's got more mirrors than the Trump Towers, and sometimes the lights are practically blinding.
But this latest marvel in the Nevada desert isn't a hotel casino. It's a solar thermal plant that provides peak power to nearby Las Vegas, one of the most unlikely places on the planet to be showing signs of environmental fervor.
On the Strip itself, not far from the canals at the Venetian and the fake volcano, thousands of hard hats are following ecofriendly building standards at the most expensive privately funded project in US history. The CityCenter condo complex has spawned "green" subcontractors and stocked the local lumberyards with sustainable timber.
The greening of Las Vegas follows a trend seen across the country. But given Vegas's reputation as a place that likes the odds stacked in its favor, it's notable that clean energy and sustainable development no longer look like risky bets.
"In general, the paradigm in Vegas has been pretty wasteful. But it's also very expensive to keep operating that way. So I'm not that surprised," says Ron Pernick, coauthor of "The Clean Tech Revolution."
State lawmakers have seeded some of the changes. Nevada is one of two dozen states requiring that a certain percentage of electricity come from renewable energy. Nevada went further: 5 percent must be solar.
That nudge, along with the sun and open space, attracted the renewable energy firm Acciona to build in Nevada. When its 64-megawatt solar thermal plant went online this summer, it became the first new one in the US since 1991.
"I would not say that Nevada is different from other states [going green], but what they understand is that they have the potential here for development in the state – they have the resources and the needs," says Gilbert Cohen, a senior vice president with Acciona.
In other words, Nevada's leaders are realizing that the state is rich not only in gold and gypsum, but in sun and steam. In the next few years, the state is projected to quadruple its geothermal power production. And solar got another boost: Ausra, a California maker of solar-thermal parts, recently announced it would locate its North American plant in Las Vegas.
But the state is also considering proposals for new coal-fired plants, says Launce Rake with the Progressive Leadership Alliance in Nevada.
"It's not like the first thing people talk about is, 'boy, we have to be environmentally sensitive,'" says Mr. Rake. "But it does indicate that when you change the law to give incentives to engage in particular behaviors, the market will respond."
Another incentive: a rebate on state sales and property taxes for construction that meets Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) standards. MGM Mirage jumped on it, announcing it would aim for LEED certification with the 68-acre, $7.5 billion CityCenter site – which involved more square footage than all LEED-certified buildings combined in the US at that time.
When fully built, MGM can expect to save money on operating costs like air conditioning and electricity within CityCenter's casino, hotels, condos, shops, and convention center. That's good for MGM, which already owns 10 hotels on the Strip and has a citywide power bill of $350,000 a day.
"Of course the tax incentives have made it an easier decision for everybody," says Cindy Ortega, senior vice president of MGM's energy and environmental services division. "But when you look at risk on something as large as CityCenter, it's more than a financial decision to do something that nobody has ever done before."
It has meant making unusual demands down the supply chains, and creating some services and supplies from scratch:
•No company in Las Vegas could recycle worksite scrap, so MGM capitalized one of its subcontractors to offer the service for CityCenter – and Vegas's future projects.
•Few low-flow bathroom fixtures had the luxury looks MGM wanted, so it worked with suppliers to design a new faucet.
•Some 10,000 workers have been trained on sustainable building practices.
"If you look at the CityCenter project, it primes the pump," says Mr. Pernick. "Not only does it perhaps provide a model for others to follow, it also helps establish the market."
But can any further development in this crowded desert really be considered green?
CityCenter marks a step in the right direction, says Lydia Ball, the regional representative of the Sierra Club. The outward – rather than upward – growth of Las Vegas is the real concern, she says. Sprawl requires more energy to move workers and water greater distances.
Whether there is enough water to add more people, experts say, depends on how it's used. Las Vegas's water usage per capita is comparatively high – but improving. Between 2002 and 2006, Las Vegas added 300,000 people, but the overall water usage dropped by 18 billion gallons.
Those gains came largely from an incentive program that paid homeowners to pull up their lawns in favor of low-water landscaping. Since the incentives began in 1999, the water authority has pulled up enough sod to roll a strip halfway around the planet. The war on grass is warranted: Lawns soak up the majority of water use in Vegas, says J.C. Davis, spokesman for the Southern Nevada Water Authority.
As for indoor water use, he says, nearly all that water gets "recycled," meaning it is captured, treated, and returned to Lake Mead. The city can then draw an equivalent amount of water from the lake.
"They call it recycling. It's been used as an excuse for them not to do anything indoors," says Heather Cooley, coauthor of a recent Las Vegas water study from the Pacific Institute in Oakland, Calif. Moving and treating indoor water gobbles up energy, she says.
The agency could also combat water wasters through aggressive pricing tiers – beyond certain thresholds, the price per gallon spikes.
The water authority is working with developers to offer "water smart" homes outfitted with high-efficiency appliances.
In a down real estate market, "going green, going water smart, and just being very energy efficient has helped" move homes, says Maria Guterman, a saleswoman for Pulte Homes.

A veneer is a thin layer of material which is placed over a tooth to improve its look or to protect it from damage. They are also known as porcelain veneers or porcelain laminates. These are an important part of cosmetic dentistry and can tackle spacing between the teeth, discoloration, distorted shape and symmetry. They make teeth look whiter and straighter.
For whitening veneers, you can get a permanent veneer or choose for temporary ones. They are molded on the existing teeth. Temporary veneers are made from flexible resins and are removable as well as reusable. These are easy to manufacture, with the user taking the impression of his ‘her teeth b using a Do it yourself kit. The impression is then sent to a lab and made into veneers, which are then mailed back to the user.
To use veneers, first make sure the veneers are made of porcelain. Porcelain resembles the enamel and is also resistant to stains. The color of the veneers depends on the number of teeth that you seek to whiten. If it’s a single tooth that you are trying to correct, match the veneer’s color with the surrounding teeth. If you are correcting the whole denture, you can choose a veneer of any brightness.
Taking care of your veneers is as crucial as getting them. You can go about your daily routine of brushing and flossing but you need to be careful of the foods that you consume while you are wearing your veneers. Seek your dentists’ advice as to the stain- causing foods and drink which should be avoided. As an instance, tea, coffee and red wine can discolor porcelain of the veneers.
Always remember that you cannot whiten veneers once you have them on. The process will involve grinding off the layer and can be damaging to your teeth. Hence, always remember to go to a good doctor and study the shade charts carefully.
Veneers can whiten your teeth only when administered under the supervision of an expert dentist and carefully maintained thereafter.

On July 19, Ferraro strode onto the stage at San Francisco's Moscone Center to accept her party's nomination. She was greeted by roars of "Gerr-reee! Gerr-reee!" from what looked like a sea of jubilant women, many of them non-delegates who had finagled floor passes to witness this stirring moment in the nation's history.
"My name is Geraldine Ferraro," the then-48-year-old declared, for once slowing her usual staccato style of speech. "I stand before you to proclaim tonight, America is the land where dreams can come true for all of us."
But none of Ferraro's years in Congress prepared her for the hurricane that was coming.
The media clamored for interviews, amassing in such numbers that Capitol Hill police roped off her office to keep them at bay. More than 50,000 letters and gifts -- ranging from books to a boxing glove -- poured in by election day.
Within two weeks of her nomination, the flak began to hit.
Critics blasted her for taking the statutory exemption to withhold information about her husband's finances on disclosure statements required of members of Congress. And John Zaccaro was attacked for improperly borrowing money from the estate of an 84-year-old widow. He later was removed as conservator. In subsequent weeks the public would learn that Ferraro had improperly loaned money to her first House campaign in 1978, and that Zaccaro and Ferraro had underpaid their taxes that year.
In the blur of campaigning, Ferraro approved a news release that mistakenly said she would release her husband's tax returns. When she subsequently refused to release the returns, the candidate with a dangerous tendency toward flippancy told a reporter: "You people who are married to Italian men, you know what it's like."
Immediately she knew she had made a terrible gaffe. She had meant that Italian men tended to be private about their personal affairs, but her remark was interpreted as an ethnic slur. It also fueled debate about Ferraro's toughness, with critics contending if she wasn't strong enough to oppose her husband, she couldn't stand up to the Soviets.
Media scrutiny of her husband was so intense that reporters even began to investigate allegations that his father had once rented space to a member of the Gambino crime family.
(Washington Post editor Benjamin Bradlee later observed that the charges, which never amounted to much, would not have been made if she had been "somebody named Jenkins. You'd have to be from another planet not to think that," he told The Times in a post-election analysis.)
In late August, she released a detailed financial disclosure statement and faced the national media. She earned favorable reviews for her responses to 90 minutes of often hostile questioning ("Ferraro passes a vital test," went a cover line in Time) but her candidacy never recovered.
In September, Ferraro began fending off attacks on a new front. New York's Archbishop O'Connor lashed out at her stand on abortion rights and said she had misrepresented church teachings on abortion. He even held open the possibility of excommunication. Anti-abortion and abortion-rights groups clashed at her rallies.
The Italian American community did not rise to her defense, even when other critics attempted to smear her with allegations of underworld dealings. Some commentators decried the sexism they said was fueling the attacks. Noting the silence of the Italian American community, syndicated columnist Richard Reeves observed: "The stoning of Geraldine Ferraro in the public square goes on and on, and no one steps forward to help or protest -- not even one of her kind
. The sons of Italy and fathers of the Roman Catholic Church are silent or are too busy reaching for bigger rocks
. Heresy! Mafia! Men are putting women in their place."
Ferraro did well when she faced then-Vice President George H.W. Bush in debate. He ignored her request that she be addressed as "Congresswoman," however, and called her "Mrs. Ferraro" instead. Shortly before the debate, she was insulted by Barbara Bush who called her "that four-million-dollar -- I can't say it, but it rhymes with 'rich.' " (Ferraro and Zaccaro's net worth had been reported at $3.8 million.)
She was discouraged by news coverage that she felt rarely reflected the enthusiasm and massive crowds she encountered on the campaign trail. "They were far less interested in what I had to say about the life-and-death issues facing the nation than they were about what I was wearing, how I looked that day, whether or not I cried, and what was happening in my marriage," she recalled in her memoir.
Reagan, one of the most popular presidents in history, wound up with an 18-point victory, aided in part by women, who supported him in greater numbers than they had the Mondale-Ferraro ticket. Post-election analyses found that Ferraro had neither greatly helped nor hindered the Democrats' chances.
What later became clear to Ferraro was how ambivalent the electorate -- particularly women -- had been about her candidacy.
Those attitudes led Ferraro to make a controversial appearance in a 1991 commercial for Pepsi-Cola, in which she endorsed being a mother over being in politics. Feminists shouted betrayal.
The commercial apparently did little to bolster her chances the following year when she ran for the Democratic nomination for Senate. She lost the 1992 Democratic primary and again in the 1998 primary, her last bid for elected office.
Fatigued after the primary, she went for a medical checkup and was diagnosed with multiple myeloma.
She was determined to remain active despite the ups and down of her health. At President Clinton's request, she served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Commission. She found a forum for her views on television as the liberal co-host of CNN's "Crossfire" and as a Fox political analyst. In 2004, she helped found grannyvoter.org with other female activists in their 60s to encourage grandparents to become politically involved. She also worked for a number of lobbying firms.
Later, Ferraro was a feisty advocate for Hillary Clinton's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, garnering criticism for remarking during the heated 2008 primary season that Obama had an advantage because he is black. The remark was perceived as racist, and in the ensuing controversy, Ferraro resigned from her voluntary position on Clinton's campaign finance committee, but she did not back away from her view of how race and gender were playing out in the campaign.
"Sexism is a bigger problem" than racism in the United States, Ferraro told the Daily Breeze in the March 2008 story that made her a liability for the Clinton campaign. "It's OK to be sexist in some people's minds. It's not OK to be racist."
She harbored no regrets at having tried to become the first female vice president, despite how grueling the struggle was. What women needed to remember, she told an interviewer in 2004, was a simple fact of politics: "If you don't run, you can't win."
In addition to her husband and three children, Ferraro, who lived in New York City, is survived by eight grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are pending.

Food sterilization destroys all microorganisms, including spore-forming bacteria. It also extends the shelf life of food. Finally, sterilization reduces the risk of microbiological contamination. Let’s take a closer look at the characteristics and at the 4 steps of the food sterilization process.
Nicolas Appert perfected the appertization method in the 18th century. Subsequently, scientists used steam to sterilize food. This led to the invention of autoclave sterilization in the early 20th century. Here’s a reminder of the principles behind this process of using heat to preserve food.
The purpose of food sterilization is to extend the shelf life of products. The product is exposed to high temperature. The temperature reaches over 100°C. Any type of food can be sterilized: vegetables, fruit, milk-based recipes, etc. Once sterilized, cans can be stored at room temperature. The shelf life can exceed 12 months, depending on the recipe.
The food sterilization process protects consumers from hazards associated with food processing. This method ensures food safety. Sterilization destroys all pathogenic microorganisms.
Two different methods can be used to sterilize food in an autoclave: the water spray process and the steam process. Here’s a comparison of the two.
The water spray process generally distributes heat more evenly throughout the autoclave. It’s best used for fragile products to avoid the effects of the more “agressive” heat of steam.
The steam process is used primarily for products that need to be heated quickly and thoroughly (e.g., pet food). It is likely to use less energy than water spraying, but it all depends on the installation.
Food must be prepared in accordance with food hygiene and safety regulations prior to sterilization. The products must then be packaged in appropriate containers (e.g., Heck cans and jars). These are then hermetically sealed to ensure effective sterilization.
The purging phase removes air from the autoclave (for the steam process). Since air is insulating, its presence results in poor heat distribution in the autoclave.
This phase brings the autoclave up to temperature. The heating time depends on the energy input. Each temperature phase is associated with a counter pressure. As the temperature of the product rises, the pressure inside the packaging increases. To counteract swelling and prevent deformation of the package, compressed air is added.
A degassing phase may be required. This allows glass jars with a rubber seal (Weck or Le Parfait jars) to be vacuum packed. An initial heating phase is carried out to 90°C at 0 bar. These parameters are then maintained for 10 minutes. This phase allows the air to escape from the jars. Then, as quickly as possible, a back pressure of 1 bar is applied to close the jars. They are now under vacuum.
The sterilization temperature maintenance phase corresponds to the cooking phase. This is the most important and critical phase of heat treatment. Compliance with the time-temperature pairing is essential. Heat is transferred to the products in two ways.
Cooling depends on the amount of cold water injected and the products being sterilized. It reduces the temperature of both the autoclave and the products. The start of the cooling phase is critical. Thermal shock can damage packaging or affect product texture.
The appertization or sterilization technique offers many advantages for food preservation. Products in jars or cans are easy to store without using additional energy; for example, you don’t need to put them in the refrigerator or freezer. Another advantage is the variety of products that can be subjected to this heat treatment.
At the end of the autoclave sterilization process, sterilized canned foods must be stored under appropriate conditions. The goal is to maintain their quality. If the cycle steps are followed and the lid is tightly sealed, they can be stored for several months.

- The Junior Doctors' Association of Ghana has denied reports that the doctor at the Manhyia District Hospital gave a wrong prescription for a child patient
- The Association says the reports are utterly false and that the doctor did not even review a child on the day in question
- In a statement signed by the association's president and secretary, the junior doctors say the nurse approached the doctor to get her to remove a non-available prescription to prevent over-billing
PAY ATTENTION: Read the hottest World Cup news, gossip, analytics and predictions
The Junior Doctors’ Association has said reports that a doctor at the Manhyia District Hospital gave a wrong prescription resulting in an altercation between a nurse with the doctor's dad is false.
The yet-to-be-identified doctor’s father verbally assaulted the nurse for allegedly trying to bully his daughter in an audio that has been trending since Tuesday, November 29, 2022.
Some known nurses who condemned the doctor’s father, who is also the Ashanti Region director of the National Service Scheme, had said the nurse only sought to bring the attention of the doctor to the dangerous prescription for a child patient.
However, in a statement the Junior Doctors’ Association Ghana said the claims against one of its members is false.

“The information on social media, radio and TV stations about an alleged wrong prescription is untrue, according to the hospital management and records available,” the statement co-signed by the association’s president Dr Louisa Nkrumah and secretary Dr Norbert Kipo, said.
According to the statement, the doctor did not even review a child on the day in question.
“No prescription was written for a child by the doctor on the said date and therefore she could not have prescribed a wrong dosage.
“The doctor correctly prescribed an intravenous fluid for an adult patient on the surgical ward,” the statement added.
It explained further that the non-availability of the intravenous fluid prescribed prompted the nurse to call the doctor to delete it from the system to avoid extra billing.
Full Audio Of The Heated Exchanges Between NSS Director And Nurse Emerges
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh has in a separate article published the full audio of the invectives used against the nurse at the Manhyia Hospital by the father of the doctor.
In the audio, the man, Alex Opoku-Mensah is heard telling the nurse that her daughter, the doctor, was not answerable to her.
The nurse was verbally abused by the NSS director for correcting a dangerous prescription the doctor had recommended for a child patient, but the Junior Doctors' Association has denied that allegation.
