An apple a day keeps cell phone and other radiation at bay
by Melissa Sokulski
(NaturalNews) Common foods such as apples, buckwheat, and sunflower seeds strongly protect and detoxify us from radiation. We are constantly exposed to radiation from cell phones, computer screens, power lines, airline travel, and microwaves. Not only can radiation remain in our body for long periods of time, but even when it passes through it also causes free radical damage. Toxic doses like that of radiation therapy for cancer or of exposure from a bomb or power plant can cause severe burns or even death.
Foods such as apples, buckwheat and sunflower seeds cleanse us of radiation. Apples and sunflower seeds contain pectin which binds and removes radioactive residues from the body. Buckwheat contains glucosides which protect us from the effects of radiation. Cereal grasses and other green foods like chlorella and blue-green algae are also useful in cleansing our bodies of radiation.(1) Essential fatty acids like flax seed oil renew cells which have been burned by radiation. Soaking in a bath with sea salt and baking soda draws toxins including radiation from the body.
Sea vegetables and miso may not be as familiar, but they are such powerful cleansers of radiation that they were used in Japan after nuclear bombs were dropped and in Russia after the Chernobyl nuclear power plant meltdown. Sea vegetables are also known as seaweed. Many varieties can be found in stores including kelp, dulse, nori and wakame. They can also be taken as a supplement which can be useful to people who can not develop a taste for sea vegetables or who feel uncomfortable cooking it. Below is a recipe for miso soup which includes the sea vegetable wakame. Wakame can be found at natural foods stores and in Asian markets.
Miso Soup with Sea Vegetables
- 2 Tbsp dried wakame pieces(Wakame is a sea vegetable sold in natural food stores or Asian markets. If it is not in little pieces already, you can simply cut with scissors.)
- 6 cups water
- 1/2 chopped onion
- 1 chopped carrot
- 1 cup chopped kale
- 2 Tbsp chopped scallions
- 2 Tbsp miso, any variety. (Mellow white miso is sweeter; darker miso like rice or barley is more salty.)
- sea salt to taste
- Olive oil to coat pot
To Prepare Soup
- Coat a soup pot with olive oil and saute onions, carrot and kale over medium heat for five minutes
- Add water and dried wakame
- Bring to boil and simmer fifteen minutes.
- Turn off heat and let cool to body temperature.
- Add a few tablespoons of the broth to a small bowl containing the miso. Mix the miso into the broth and then mix back into the soup.
- Top with scallions, and add sea salt to taste and serve.

Wig-wearing man robs NW Harris Co. Wal-Mart
By Dale Lezon
Updated 12:38 pm, Wednesday, January 29, 2014
A man wearing a wig and brandishing a handgun robbed a Wal-Mart in northwest Harris County early Wednesday morning.
The heist happened about 12:05 a.m. at the 24-hour store at FM 2920 and Kuykendahl in the Spring area, said Mark Herman, assistant chief deputy of the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office.
Herman said the man walked into the store and confronted a worker who was handling cash and demanded money from her. When the woman appeared to resist, the man pulled out a handgun.
Herman said the man grabbed an undisclosed amount of cash, left the store and sped away in a silver car.
No injuries were reported.
The man wore a woman's wig, but no other description of him or further details about the getaway car were given.

We’re Giving Away Cash! Enter to Win. Dave talks about the importance of discussing money before getting married. When you start to discuss bigger matters with the person you are dating, you are in essence letting them know that you are thinking further down the road. This goes along with the point we just made about bringing up certain subjects too soon. Money is a heavy topic, so give yourself some time to get deeper into the courtship. Talk about whether or not going to dinner tonight fits within your budget, for example.
Most of us feel an immediate sense of dread at the thought of broaching the topic of “what are we? It’s terrifying to put yourself out there, especially if you don’t know how the other person feels. You know it’s the right time to have the talk when you cannot get the thought out of your head. That being said, there is such a thing as bringing up your relationship status too soon.
For example, if you’ve only gone on a few dates, it’s probably too soon—even, says Hendrix, if you’ve slept together.
You will learn if your date has a love for history, a dear family member, or a long lost friend. Ask them why they chose that person. See what kind of questions they.
Subscriber Account active since. Simply asking “So, what do you do? To help break the ice with a stranger on a first date — especially if you have one planned this Valentine’s Day — Business Insider asked seven relationship experts from across the country to reveal their favorite questions to ask on a first date. While many of them had a few pre-determined questions at hand, they said the most important thing to keep in mind is just to be a good listener, and to be yourself.
For those who need a little extra guidance, here are the best questions to ask on a first date, according to relationship experts:. To get the conversation rolling, she recommends sharing your experience of the date as soon as it starts by asking about the vibe of the restaurant or bar. If you both notice something odd — like another couple on a date that doesn’t seem to be going well — go ahead and bring that up to establish a shared experience.
While making plans with someone you met online can be awkward right off the gate, bringing up something you saw helps to minimize that discomfort. While asking about where someone works might lead to dead-end conversations, inquiring about a person’s hobbies or interests outside of their office gives you a better sense of their values, Sassoon said Business Insider.
A first date is also a good time to get to know the other person’s lifestyle choices — especially ones that could cause problems down the road, Duran says.
How to Talk About Yourself on a Date
Kacey Mya Bradley. Those first dates are often sprinkled with uncertain pauses and looking around the restaurant to see if your food is coming. First dates are supposed to be fun, so keep it light and just enjoy getting to know another person!

Healthy relationships vs. unhealthy relationships
Let’s talk with people they were dating world, you talk about paragraphs. So, i just be savored – never care how you can kill any new relationship official? First contact and we can often is a solid relationship expert claims this is how much time you want his top texting each other constantly. Here are 13 warning signs you talk to move through life separately and how your new relationship allows you lie.
But it’s important to know when it’s no longer healthy. But even though you’re only a few dates in, wondering where this is all going is So before you do anything else, ask yourself honestly: Is this person “When you talk with the person, speak simply and directly about how you feel and what you want.
Do you remember the first date you ever went on? I do, and not because it was full of memorable moments that marked the beginning of a great romance. The part I remember most is running off to the bathroom to call all my friends until one of them finally picked up to tell me what in the world I should talk about next.
Of course, I now understand that a date usually goes well if the chemistry is right and my question-asking ability isn’t the cure-all for an awkward match. But it would’ve helped to have some ideas up my sleeve to ease the lulls in conversation. So, we came up with some ideas so you don’t have to rush off to the bathroom in a panic like me. We broke these conversation starters down into four categories: initial background information questions, ice-breakers, creative and out-of-the-box prompts, and how to keep the date going or gracefully put it to an end.
Even though it can be boring to ask run-of-the-mill questions, you have to start somewhere, and the basics aren’t a bad place to do so. Once you know more about your date’s background, you’ll be able to guide the conversation to more interesting places. Try to engage their responses with follow-up questions or offer pieces of information about yourself so it doesn’t turn into an interrogation.
40 Foolproof First Date Questions That Work Every Time
Especially if your date is happening virtually. I know the conventional wisdom is to stay away from heavier topics like politics and religion, but in “these times,” what else is there to talk about? And if I’m looking for someone I’m truly compatible with, isn’t it important to know how they feel about what the country and world are going through right now?
What should I even asking on a first date these days? Your priorities in life, and criteria for a mate, have most likely changed as a result of world events.
The questions you ask on a first date will make or break the vibe as you get to know each other. Who was someone you really looked up to when you were little — someone you the small talk and get right to the chase, these are the first date questions to ask. Okay so how many dates have you been on before this?
On this season of “Married at First Sight,” year-old Deonna McNeill explains to her year relationship gap to her new husband, Gregory Okotie, by using a term you may not be familiar with. Less than a relationship, but more than a casual encounter or booty call, a situationship refers to a romantic relationship that is, and remains, undefined.
Why is this becoming a trend now? A situationship is that space between a committed relationship and something that is more than a friendship. On the one hand, removing the pressure of putting parameters on what the relationship is and isn’t can be freeing — as long as both parties are okay with leaving things open. On the flip side, not knowing where you stand can be detrimental, especially if one party wants more of a commitment. You’ve met someone new, and things seem to be going well. But even though you’re only a few dates in, wondering where this is all going is keeping you up at night.
It’s a common problem — one that Travis McNulty , a therapist practicing in Florida, says a situationship can actually help alleviate. Taking that looming question off the table can help you be more mindful about how you’re actually feeling. While experts say situationships can have their temporary benefits, they can quickly move into harmful territory if one partner starts to want more.
How often should you talk when you first start dating
Is kissing allowed during the Covid coronavirus pandemic? Well, it depends. Pictured here in the Nowadays, is it more likely for you to swipe right with a disinfectant wipe on a table than your finger on Tinder?

If you have depression , opening up to the people in your life about the condition can be healing. Although awareness about depression is increasing, the condition is still misunderstood by some. Depression manifests differently in different people, but symptoms may include prolonged and pervasive feelings of sadness and hopelessness, a loss of interest in once-enjoyable activities, a lack of energy that makes even small tasks seem impossible and sleep issues, like insomnia or sleeping too much.
Some people also deal with angry outbursts, frustration and agitation. Christie M. She told HuffPost she would encourage people with depression to bring it up when they feel ready. Allow this person to understand and support you. One in six people will deal with depression at some point in their life. And yet a lingering stigma about this rather common mental illness remains. The good news? While misconceptions about depression still exist, the public understanding of the disorder is improving, Chicago-based therapist Anna Poss said.
It is becoming more and more likely that people will have had some education about or exposure to mental health treatment. It really depends on when you feel ready to do so. No one can determine that but you.
How to Talk to Your Parents About Dating
When you’ve finally found that one person you can really see a future with, it’s so easy to jump in quickly without really thinking things through. After all, if you really love someone and your relationship is unlike anything you’ve ever been in before, why wait? To be fair, there’s nothing wrong with that. When you know, you know.

The Best First Date Questions — Plus What to Avoid Talking About
But as for signs that your partner is also feeling that way too Luckily, we asked 19 men to speak on the moments in life they knew they were in love to make it a lil easier for you to see. Prepare your hearts for those lil gushy, butterfly feelings:. I think it was most obvious to me when we were in an argument or fight and I could still look at her and think: ‘Yeah, okay, I do love her.
Do you hate it or love it when your partner tickles you? up for a while, like if your partner wants to share passwords after dating for 6 months. You can talk about boundaries before engaging sexual activity, but you should.
When I ended up single in a small town, I turned to a dating app. But finding someone fully and messily human was harder than I thought. I did not intend to be single in the rural village where I live. Then the wedding was off and I found myself single in a town where the non-student population is 1, people. I briefly considered flirting with the cute local bartender, the cute local mailman — then realised the foolishness of limiting my ability to do things such as get mail or get drunk in a town with only 1, other adults.
For the first time in my life, I decided to date online. The thing about talking to people on Tinder is that it is boring. I am an obnoxious kind of conversation snob and have a pathologically low threshold for small talk. I want a conversation partner who travels through an abundance of interesting material at breakneck speed, shouting over their shoulder at me: Keep up. I want a conversation partner who assumes I am up for the challenge, who assumes the best of me.
It will not surprise you to learn that this is a totally batshit way to approach Tinder and that, for my snobbery, I paid a price.
7 relationship experts reveal their favorite questions to avoid awkward small talk on a first date
Good questions like the below are sexy. So if you want to impress your next first date, memorize at least a few of them. If you were going to go to the movies alone, what would be the perfect film for you to watch by yourself?
According to a relationship expert, it’s socially acceptable to broach the subject after.
You need ice breakers, light-hearted queries, questions that provoke banter, laughter, and thought, as well as questions that dig a bit deeper and go beyond the superficial. Read on. Your future dates depend on it. It promotes a good back-and-forth between the two of you. Better yet, her reason will be incredibly telling. Is it the money, the impact, the enjoyment? Each of these explanations reveals something about her character.
If things get a bit awkward or serious, divert to a more carefree topic. Everyone loves to laugh, and talking about the things that make you both fall into a fit—cheesy pickup lines, dad jokes, a particular YouTube flick—gets the conversation flowing… and both of you laughing. Lots of laughter on a first date is a great sign, Jones says. This conversation starter can bring a light, playful, untethered feeling into your mix of questions, Jones says.
If you want the conversation to become a bit reflective, thoughtful, and meaningful, this is a great fall-back. And who knows, maybe you went to the same camp or vacation spot each summer.

That, pretty much, was the vibe of the collection: feminine yet unfussy, with a styling MO that was almost ersatz. The strongest looks, in general, were Ratabesi's winter whites, in particular the dresses and tops softened by a waterfall of ruffles or fluid pleats. She also cut more than a few pairs of sharp trousers; the unusual knits, such as a furry sweater, also made an impression. But the most intriguing harbinger of things to come from Ratabesi may have been the long black dress with lace cutouts. Once you noticed its slouchy cut, so counterintuitive in a gown, you realized that Ratabesi is a designer capable of evoking not just an era but an attitude through clothes. It will be interesting to see what she does with that talent next season.

Gamestar Mechanic is a game and community designed to teach kids the core principles of game design. Created for 7 to 14 year olds, the platform features a powerful suite of game creation tools, enabling players to design original games through an easy-to-use, drag and drop interface. Game design provides an entertaining, exciting and empowering way for kids to learn important skills such as problem solving, critical thinking, collaboration, creative thought and ideation.
The browser-based game taps into the natural passion for youths to play, make and share games. Built on leading pedagogical research in the areas of systems thinking, 21st century digital literacy skills and STEM learning, Gamestar Mechanic devote significant efforts to developing materials, content and professional development programs for teachers who want to learn how to support students, pursuing an interest in game design.
Embraced by schools and after-school programs, the game-based digital learning platform is now used by over 4,000 teachers, whose students have published over 350,000 games in over 100 countries. One school that has endorsed game design to engage students is the Divine Mercy Catholic Academy in Florida. Working with Dr. Anne-Marie Sutch-Stabio, Chief Learning Officer of CAMBS Enterprises, 8th grade students took a weekly class to learn about game design and explore the topic of ‘Space’. Gamestar Mechanic provides lesson plans for teachers, which Dr. Sutch-Stabio used in class to teach students the basic principles of game design in line with the common core standards for the topic of ‘Space’. Every week students had a homework assignment requiring them to research a space topic, and play a game focusing on a specific element of game design taught in class.
Students then put the information they had learned into a game format, to teach other kids in class about their space topic. The games had to include certain elements such as game levels, background images, avatars, timing, goals, points, strategy and the students also had to write the background story of the game.
Edmodo was used as a collaborative platform where class games were posted up for peer review, comments and feedback. Dr. Sutch-Stabio said “It was nice watching the collaborative learning that went on, they would talk back and forth and share information”.
Formative and summative assessments were used to evaluate the success of using game design and development in learning. The students really enjoyed the class and reported they wanted to move into more complex game design and develop programming skills at a higher level than Gamestar Mechanic provided.
Gamestar Mechanic is currently being developed and published by E-Line Media in partnership with the Institute of Play. The initial research and development for the platform was made possible in part by generous funding from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation for an original grant proposal by James Paul Gee, Ph.D and Eric Zimmerman.
Gamestar Mechanic is also involved in supporting and presenting a number of youth game design competitions, including the National STEM Video Game Challenge presented in partnership with the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop. The annual competition, now in its third year, encourages youth in grades 5-12 to design and make original games. There were over 3,700 entries last year and two of the national winners were invited to participate in the prestigious White House Science Fair.
Game creation technologies such as Gamestar Mechanic can be a useful way of encouraging class participation, collaboration and understanding, and can make a significant impact on student development.

Security plans for the Fifa World Cup meet international standards and have been used as a benchmark by the United Nations, national police commissioner Bheki Cele said on Wednesday.
”I’m confident to announce that all our plans are under way and South Africa will host the event with diligence and pride, knowing that our security plans meet international standards and have been used as a benchmarking model by the United Nations,” he told representatives of the Southern African Regional Police Chiefs Cooperation Organisation (Sarpcco) in Durban.
The World Cup final draw was expected to take place in Cape Town on Friday.
Border control was likely to be relaxed next year to allow the smooth movement of people through Sarpcco countries during the soccer tournament.
All Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries were Sarpcco members. Cele, who is Sarpcco’s chairperson, said the movement of spectators across South Africa’s borders would require improved cooperation between customs officials, home affairs and other departments.
”Although South Africa is a host country, the nature of the event requires that all security arrangements should be in good shape.”
Cele emphasised that crime was an international problem and that countries must stand together to fight it.
”I would hate to see crime do better than us. We don’t want to be beaten by crime. This region must make sure that criminals enjoy no oxygen. There must be no space for criminals.”
Cele stressed the police’s intelligence unit needed to improve to meet the challenges of organised crime.
Vehicle theft in the SADC region was on the increase and had to be ”dealt with”. Police needed to establish a close network to close gaps in which criminals were operating freely in the region.
He said HIV/Aids in the police force should be permanently on the agenda.
”HIV is a very serious issue. We might find ourselves fighting a difficult battle if this is not taken seriously.”
He was aware there were people coming into the country during the World Cup to engage in illegal activities.
”We are making preparations to face all types of crime, including drugs and human trafficking.”
Prostitution was also going to be a problem.
”For now we will do what the law tells us, which is prostitution is a criminal offence,” said Cele. — Sapa

Pro-CAA stir: Fresh violence in Jabalpur as Republic Day witnesses Stone pelting
BHOPAL: More than a month after curfew was imposed following large-scale violence by anti-CAA protesters in Jabalpur town of Madhya Pradesh, fresh violence in the form of stone pelting was reported on Sunday.
The incident happened when pro-CAA right-wing Hindu outfits were taking out the Tiranga Yatra to mark the Republic Day.
When the Tiranga Yatra reached the communally sensitive Anand Nagar area under Adhartal and Gohalpur police station areas, the police stopped them from going further.
“Those taking out the Tiranga Yatra were allowed to go till where they were permitted, but they started insisting to go ahead through the area where the other group has been gathering since last few days. The Tiranga Yatra people wanted to go through the barricaded area insisting that those gathered in that area, including women were hindering road traffic particularly school children and that too when school examinations are close,” said Jabalpur district collector Bharat Yadav.
While the district administration and police was talking to Tiranga Yatra group, the other group which has been protesting against CAA-NRC in Gazi Bagh (Anand Nagar) area since around a week, started raising slogans, which made the situation tense.

An English Officers’ sword, with a brass double shell guard hilt, dating to the end of the 17th century / beginning of the 18th. Swords like this were carried by officers in the Duke of Marlborough’s army at the major battles with France such as Ramillies in 1706, Oudenarde in 1708 and Malplaquet in 1709, during the campaigns of the War of the Spanish Succession. During these campaigns Britain and her allies were able to break the long-held military dominance of the French army in Western Europe.
The hilt is made up of a cross guard which extends to the rear to form a drooping wristguard from the quillon with a swollen downward facing terminal. To the front, the knuckle bow extends to secure itself into an aperture located at the front lower part of the pommel. Either side of the cross a solid shell guard is mounted with thickened moulded borders and knops towards the middles of the outer edges. To the front supporting bars emanate from the shell guard rims to attach to the knuckle bow which is also decorated with a knop at its mid-point. The globular pommel has an integral button on top and flared neck beneath.
The blade is deceptively robust, giving a solid meaty balance to such an elegant sword. It is single edged, becoming double edged a few inches away from the tip. It has a short ricasso secured to the hilt base with the help of two short rounded langets, reminiscent of the manufacture of preceding “Mortuary” type English hilts of the Civil War periods. The blade has a long deep fuller running from the end of the ricasso underneath the blunt back edge almost to the tip, terminating at the same place where the blade becomes double edged. The fuller is stamped with a series of capital letters and orb and cross marks on both sides. The baluster-shaped grip is handsomely bound with alternate twists of brass wire and woven “Turks Heads” top and bottom.
The overall length is just under 38.5 inches (97.5 cm) and the blade is 32.5 inches (82.5 cm).

PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION BELOW ON HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST PHOTO FOR A CUSTOM DIAMOND PAINTING. Please note, there is no returns or refunds on custom diamond paintings.
Each kit includes:
- 1 x printed canvas
- More than enough drills to complete the painting
- 1 x pick up a pen, tray and glue set
Everything you need to complete the painting is included in the kit.
* Please note; Most of our diamond art kits are printed on demand. It typically takes 10-15 business days to get your diamond art kit printed, shipped and delivered. Thank you for your understanding.
Choosing a Photo
HERE ARE THE 3 SECRETS TO CHOOSING THE PERFECT PHOTO FOR YOUR CUSTOM DIAMOND PAINTING:
1. Choose Only Large High-Quality Photos.
2. Pay Attention To The Colors And Shading Of Your Original Photo.
3. Pick The Canvas That Best Fits Your Photo.
1. CHOOSE ONLY VERY LARGE HIGH-QUALITY PHOTOS.
Only submit a photo that is:
- Very Large
- Very High-Quality
- Taken In Good Light
**If your image is even a little bit blurry or pixellated when you look at it, it will NOT work as a diamond painting. Images need to be super high quality to work.**
What makes a good photo? Pixels.
Now for the sake of metaphor, imagine each pixel is a nice little diamond.
The more pixels (diamonds) you can pack into an image (canvas), the more detail you get in your painting.
We need your photo to have a LOT of pixels (diamonds). That way, when we blow your photo up and print it onto a canvas, your final painting will look as crystal clear as your original photo.
IF YOUR IMAGE LOOKS BAD (BLURRY, PIXELLATED) WHEN YOU ZOOM IN: Choose a different image. Your original image is too small to be turned into a diamond painting. Please choose a different image for the best results.
QUICK TIP: If you have any doubts about your image, use a photo-viewing program to zoom in to your image and see how the image looks. If you're on your phone, simply pinch your screen and zoom in to see how the picture looks up close.
2. PAY ATTENTION TO THE COLORS AND SHADING OF YOUR ORIGINAL PHOTO.
One of the most common questions we hear: "Why is the white part of my diamond painting a different colour? Why does the black part of my painting contain brown and green diamonds?"
If your original photo is slightly red, or slightly blue, that colour will be magnified 1000x when we turn your photo into a diamond painting kit.
And when there's a slight red hue on your entire photo, that red bleeds into parts of your painting you would expect to be white. Check this out, for example:
When we blow up your photo, every pixel becomes much more obvious. It's kind of like looking at your face in one of those super close-up mirrors. You notice every pore, wrinkle, spot, whatever. With your diamond painting, you'll notice every pixel you place with a colour that just feels "off."
To stop this from happening, we recommend making some basic colour and tone adjustments in your favourite photo editing program before submitting your photo for a custom. For a free tool you can use to make these adjustments on your own, you can check out LunaPic - https://www11.lunapic.com/editor/
What a world of difference some basic colour adjustments can make! Pay close attention to the colours and hues in your original photo!
3. PICK THE CANVAS THAT BEST FITS YOUR PHOTO.
Extremely happy with my completed Dream Cottage 60×60 cm full drill square DD.
Iam so happy with it .Thankyou have not started it yet as I have had both hands operated on .But I cannot wait to start it will be ordering two more custom pictures very soon I will send a photo as soon as I have finished horse one it is Awesome thankyou so much Michelle
I have been very pleased with my contact with Needleworks, particularly Jill because her communication has been very good, there is always a time problem from when we order the canvas until we receive it, this is why communication is vital.
I was very happy with how the photo has reproduced but as I have been doing the diamond painting the colours of the faces are very orange so not sure if I will give it as a present as i had intended.

A control system of variable geometry mixed compression axisymmetric intake is experimentally studied at ONERA S3 supersonic wind tunnel. The acceleration/deceleration of the space plane is simulated by changing the free stream velocity. The intake is successfully controlled with 90% of the maximum total pressure recovery and mass capture ratio. In this experiment, two subjects about control of axisymmetric intake are also cleared. First, the effect of the trapping of the terminal shock by bleed holes causes the disturbances in the terminal shock control system. Second, a special compression form change operation is necessary when the intake compression form change from all external compression to mixed compression.
Satellite capturing is one of the most important and the most difficult task to provide on-orbit services. An appropriate role assignment of an on-board system and a ground station is important to design a system under the constraints of on-board computing power and communication time delay. This paper presents a design concept of autonomous satellite capturing system using a manipulator mounted satellite, together with the results of an space experiments using Engineering Test Satellite #7 (ETS-VII); a space robot designed by the concept.
Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method based on the Boltzmann equation, in-cooperating a new reactive inelastic molecular collision model, has been employed to analyze the fuel gas mixing in two-dimensional supersonic shear flow which originates from the meeting at a thin plate (lip) edge of two parallel flows, a supersonic air stream and a sonic hydrogen gas flow. In the present study, the influence of hydrogen gas temperature upon the mixing within the shear layer is clarified. In a companion paper (the 2nd report), the relationship between mixing and chemical reaction will be presented.
Following the 1st report, the present study treats the relationship between mixing and chemical reaction of hydrogen to reveal some details of the initial combustion process, when it is sonically injected parallel to the Mach 2.44 airstream from the thin plate (lip) edges of a 2-D nozzle. By applying a hydrogen-oxygen 16 reaction system, Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) analysis clarifies the influences upon the initial combustion due to hydrogen temperature, which is the most significant, and the other factors like the hydrogen number density and the shear velocity. A need of some measures for enhancing such weak initial combustion is also addressed.
Thrust performance and stable operation conditions of an anode layer type Hall thruster was investigated using a 1.5kW class anode layer type Hall thruster. The thrust efficiency reached at 53% with the specific impulse of 2,000s, which are competitive with these of SPT-100 thrusters. Anode shape and axial position of the anode were changed. Stability of the discharge was found sensitive to the anode configuration and applied magnetic flux density.
The comprehensive kinetic model equation for unsteady one-dimensional flow is numerically solved to obtain a converging solution for a plane shock structure problem. This model equation is proposed by Oguchi on the basis of the Grad’s 13-moment approximation, and its collision term is expressed in an explicit function of the peculiar velocities. The problem is selected as a typical problem for surveying the applicability of the present model to gas dynamic problems. The numerical calculations are performed for Maxwell molecules. The free-stream Mach number range is from 1.05 to 2.0. The resultant shock wave profiles of the number density exhibit reasonable forms with monotonic change, and the resultant shock thickness values agree well with the corresponding Navier-Stokes values. The present results suggest us to open a way for the applicability of the present kinetic model to various gas dynamic problems in weakly rarefied conditions.
Numerical investigation of the rolling moment control of a delta wing using a micro-flap in supersonic flow is performed in the present study. So far, several experiments and CFD analyses regarding the micro-flap in subsonic flow have been reported, and the location of a leading edge separation vortex and its size are found to play a key role in producing the rolling moment. On the other hand, in supersonic flow, the mechanism of rolling moment generation is found to be different from that in subsonic flow. The leading edge separation vortex is not so much affected by micro-flap installation. However, a large pressure change behind the micro-flap is observed, which causes the rolling moment of the delta wing. Moreover, the rolling moment in the supersonic flow is generated only in one direction, unlike the subsonic flow, where it is produced in either direction.
Authors have been attempting to develop a multidisciplinary design optimization tool for a large-scale system using Genetic Algorithm (GA), and to apply this tool to the integrated optimization problem of the airframe design and its flight trajectory for an advanced space transportation vehicle that is a spaceplane. The results of the latest calculation for the problem above obtained by the developed tool showed that airframes (solutions) converged on four areas in the solution space and sensitivity of design variables of the airframe shape was remarkably different in each convergence area. Although high-ranking solutions having good value of the performance index have various airframe configurations, those flight trajectories hardly changed. The best solution showed that it is necessary to reduce the weights of airframe components and to improve the performance of air-breathing engine for realizing a feasible airframe size. It is suggested that this tool is absolutely useful for searching a solution at the conceptual designing phase of a spaceplane.
The present paper describes a one-dimensional model for a compressible internal flow with mass and heat additions in a constant area duct taking account of the upstream boundary layer. The conservation equations across a control volume are treated one-dimensionally by assuming an appropriate mean flow. This model can estimate the maximum amount of the mass flow rate on the flow choking for a given upstream free Mach number and boundary layer thickness. As the result, a parallel injection can add more amount of mass flow rate than normal injection in the present analytical condition. The characteristics of the flow such as the down stream Mach number, static pressure and total pressure distributions are analyzed with the boundary layer thickness for given upstream condition. Also, the analytical result of the present model shows better agreement with the previous experimental data on the mass and heat additional flows in constant area duct.

"Tomorrow We Move To Hawaii, they sound like some kind of synth, electro, sci-fi movie, you know the shit I don’t like. But this is fucking great!" (Little Steven)
"For a couple of years now, the Norwegian duo Tomorrow We Move To Hawaii have been carving out their distinct line of chillwave electro, coupled with raw punk attitude. With followers all over Europe, Londoners have been constantly exclaiming “we need more bands like you” while Berlners have been dancing until they choke on their pretzels. After the release of their second single via the fast rising Brilliance Records, the BBC Radio 1 DJ Rob da Bank proclaimed to “love it” and immediately got on board, broadcasting their music to a global BBC audience. Stateside, TWMTH recently caught the attention of the fresh Austin, TX based label Red Eye Transit Records, who is now releasing the band’s first EP “ Still Life” and hosting their first tour in the US, including extensive showcases in SXSW."

Super Tuesday election problems: ballot scanners, voter check-ins, wrong redistricting information
Counties across Alabama, California, Texas, and Utah all experienced problems with voting for the Tuesday elections, which caused some voters to leave without casting their ballots.
Numerous election issues occurred in multiple counties throughout the U.S. on Super Tuesday – from malfunctioning ballot scanners to voters having problems checking in at polling stations and being directed to the wrong station.
Counties in Alabama, California, Texas and Utah all experienced problems, resulting in some voters leaving polling sites without casting a ballot.
In a newly formed congressional district, 6,593 voters received postcards from Montgomery County with the incorrect district, the Associated Press reported. The new district was drawn to increase the collective voting power of black residents.
According to the Montgomery County Board of Registrars chairman, election software incorrectly identified some voters as living in the 7th Congressional District, despite living in the 2nd Congressional District. Voters were still able to vote for the correct candidates at the polls.
As of Tuesday evening, the county had sent about 2,000 notices out to affected voters, with the other roughly 4,000 to be sent out Wednesday.
In Nevada County, voter check-in systems were temporarily down Tuesday morning as a result of a technical issue. The county said that during that time, between 7-7:30 a.m., voters were given provisional ballots.
The problem “originated from the system vendor and affected multiple counties, was resolved at 7:30 a.m., and voting has resumed as normal,” the county posted on its website.
Harris County, home to the city of Houston, has a history of election issues, to which Super Tuesday added.
Democratic County District Attorney Kim Ogg was told she already voted when she went to cast her ballot in the Texas primary elections.
Ogg was prevented from voting Tuesday morning because a ballot had already been cast in her name, CNN reported. She was also a candidate on the primary ballot but lost the election, according to local news station KHOU 11.
County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth released a statement Tuesday morning, explaining that Ogg's life partner appeared to have mistakenly voted early last week under Ogg's name. Both Ogg and her partner live at the same address.
Ogg was able to cast her ballot later on Tuesday. Both Ogg and her life partner, Olivia Jordan, had to present identification to vote and do not share a last name.
Fort Bend County gave ballots to voters for the wrong precinct during early voting. The county said Monday the issue was caused by 2021 redistricting that resulted in several houses being incorrectly coded. County officials said the issue affected less than 100 voters.
Tarrant County, which includes Fort Worth, experienced ballot scanner issues, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaper.
One polling location had malfunctioning ballot scanners for much of the day. A blind reporter for the Star-Telegram who went to that location found that the proper accommodation equipment for her to vote hadn’t been set up. As a result, it took about two hours for her to cast her ballot.
There were long lines for Republican primaries at some polling locations because of higher turnout than Democrats in Tarrant County. One location didn’t have enough voting machine power cords at the beginning of the day, but the issue was quickly resolved.
Some voting locations in the county initially had difficulties signing in voters, but the problem was promptly solved. However, a couple of GOP voters left one location that had issues with checking voters in.
Travis County also experienced issues signing in voters at polls, but they were quickly identified and resolved, according to the Associated Press.
Multiple counties across the state experienced difficulties with QR codes for signing in GOP voters for their caucuses. The online system was unable to function with the volume of voters trying to access it, causing local GOP leaders to switch to checking their voter registration list and comparing it to people’s photo IDs.
The issue caused some voters to leave without voting.
The Salt Lake County auditor wrote on his X account that his caucus ran out of ballots and voters were told to write down their preferred candidate.
The Utah GOP chairman noted that there were “hiccups” during the caucus, but called it a success overall.
“Following a successful caucus night, I’m proud to announce preliminary results for Utah Republican Party’s Presidential Preference Poll,” said UTGOP Chairman Robert Axson. “I want to thank all the candidates who participated, our dedicated organizers and volunteers, and especially the caucus-goers, even when dealing with long lines and some hiccups to the check-in process in some locations.”

It is so rare that we get avocados on sale in our area, and it is even rare for them to be of good quality. I picked up these two avocados out of sheer excitement at the possibilities they held. I used half of one in some tacos and the rest got saved for these delicious delicious nachos.
RECIPE: Fancy Guacamole and Nachos
Makes 2 Servings
Mortar and Pestle
Small baking pans
Oven Set to 375 degrees
5 cloves Garlic
1 1/2 Avocados
Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1) Mince up an onion, adding half of it to the pot on the stove while reserving the other half for later.
2) Once the onions have cooked a bit, add in part of a can of black beans and corn.
3) Season the beans with cumin, paprika, pepper powder, and a touch of tomato powder.
4) Mince up the garlic cloves. Add about half of them to the beans and reserve the other half for later.
5) While the beans are cooking, its time to start working on the guacamole.
6) Put the minced garlic and onion into the mortar.
7) Peal the avocados and remove the pits, add it to the mortar.
8) Add some salt, pepper, and cilantro to the mortar.
9) Slice the lime into wedges.
10) Shred the extra sharp cheddar cheese, and lay out the tortilla chips in their pans. 2-3 ounces of chips per pan is the perfect amount.
11) Use the pestle to start creating the guacamole in the mortar. Squeeze in the lime juice, mix, taste, and adjust as needed.
12) Sprinkle the cheese over the chips and then top with beans and corns.
13) Bake until the cheese melts.
14) Remove from the oven and top with a layer of the fresh guacamole.
15) Serve in the trays for a fun date night!

Nylon anchors are highly effective fasteners that can be used in hollow or solid base applications. They install quickly, easily, economically.
The anchor body is made of nylon to withstand high impact or shock loads. The expander pin is made of hardened steel and zinc plated for corrosion resistance. Nylon anchors have excellent thermal and insulating properties and have great resistance to chemicals, fungus and rust.
- Drill hold same diameter as nylon anchor (3/16” or ¼”) but slightly deeper than anchor length.
- Insert nylon anchor through object to be fastened and into drilled hole.
- Drive expander pin flush with head of anchor. Nylon anchor expands and is permanently anchored. If desired, the nylon anchor can be removed with a screwdriver and re-used.


Automated Critical Care System
The Automated Casualty Care System (ACCS) is now in final baseline development. This has stimulated a critical upgrade to telehealth connectivity software known as the Athena Device Management Suite or ADMS. As such it is to be an evolving platform integrating currently cleared systems, new technologies and yet can integrate new innovative capabilities well into in the future. The ACCS effort is designed to incorporate complex but proven medical technologies into a “system of systems” that integrate patient physiological monitoring with interventions controlled by software algorithms to provide automatic medical care of critically injured warfighters. This includes the newly developed WVSM2, acquiring hands-free baseline vital signs without care provider distraction. WVSM2 is the central monitoring platform for the ACCS system, and can automatically acquire NIBP, 12-Lead ECG, EtCO2, Respiration Rate, SpO2, Temperature, as well includes capacitive touch interface controls. The baseline ACCS system will assist the caregiver by providing casualty management guidance and decision assistance based on continuously updated measures of patient’s medical status and currently known, well-documented (e.g., TCCC and PHTLS) doctrines, and implemented casualty care protocols and strategies. The future manifestation of ACCS may be closed loop autonomous care as these technologies mature and are released to market by evolving FDA policies and test validation/verification (V&V) data. However, the baseline ACCS allows the simple transition to advanced capability through the efficient integration of precursor tenets of design.
For example, the current combat environment does not always provide or even allow for constant wireless monitoring by a dedicated care provider nor for near real time remote clinical care provider input and control. However, ACCS integrated a bidirectional, telemedicine-capability within ADMS and has already demonstrated this in early Op Eval via current military communications methods and Android smart phones. Similarly, the autonomous capability of ACCS follows the innovations of the WVSM by enabling recognition of unstable casualty conditions derived from vital signs and corpsman inputs and trending of the patients’ vitals allowing for earlier awareness, intervention and increased urgency of life saving interventions, which has been shown to improve patient outcomes resulting in fewer hospital days, reduced cost of treatment, and quicker return to duty. This capability is currently being used to prioritize not only urgency of care alerts but data review and presentation priorities and then when FDA technologies mature provide closed loop control feedback and autonomous intervention. Also, as advanced traumatic brain injury (TBI) treatment technologies such as therapeutic hypothermia (THT) come through FDA clearance, the basic platform of ACCS can and will adopt those technologies inside a modular framework that is now existing with the integrated OV fluids. Finally, the baseline system and software control carries state of the art internally controlled IV/IO fluids (rate, volume, type and temperature) as colloids and crystalloids but allows for a modular upgrade to blood and blood products essentially as a “plug and play” as they evolve into more common use and clinical practice.

The more attachment there is to one’s I, the more this creates a delusional identity. When the delusion of I is exposed, it doesn’t lead one to seeing the truth of who you are, it exposes the lies of who you are not.
As I was sitting in meditation the other day, in the silence arose how it took nearly fifty years to form an attachment to a delusional self, along with all the tools I thought were needed to make me who I thought I was suppose to be. For the last nine years I have be undoing this attachment to this delusional self which was thought to be the most beneficial way to live. This delusional self began at the time of birth when my parents named me for the purpose of having a way to identify me. This name was then attached to and the delusion began by a self that wasn’t even formed yet, but it was slowly being developed into a delusional identity.
I had an inkling of this throughout periods of my life although it was strictly on an intellectual level, but on this day there was a shift and this inkling went from my head to my heart and the delusional lie of self was exposed for me. For most people this delusion will remain in place until the time of death and although for many death itself will be the time that this lie is exposed, they may never be aware of it. For those who do awaken to the fallacy of this delusional identity, there’s a freedom that occurs that can only be known in the space of non attachment to this made up delusional self.
One’s bondage is in the belief that you are what you think, freedom is in knowing you are not. The more the lie of this delusional identity is exposed, the more exposure there will be to the truth that this self doesn’t really exist. In this truth there’s a knowing, not of who you are, but of who you are not, and it’s in the awareness of this lie that sets one free because one is no longer locked in to the identity of a delusional self.

Mobile tourist guides evolve towards automated personalized tour planning devices. The contribution of this article is to put forward a combined artificial intelligence and metaheuristic approach to solve tourist trip design problems (TTDP). The approach enables fast decision support
for tourists on small footprint mobile devices. The orienteering problem, which originates in the operational research literature, is used as a starting point for modelling the TTDP. The problem involves a set of possible locations having a score and the objective is to maximize the total score of the visited locations, while keeping the total time (or distance) below the available time budget.
The score of a location represents the interest of a tourist in that location. Scores are calculated using the vector space model, which is a well-known technique from the field of information retrieval. The TTDP is solved using a guided local search metaheuristic.
In order to compare the performance of this approach with an algorithm that appeared in the literature, both are applied to a real data set from the city of Ghent. A collection of tourist points of interest with descriptions was indexed and subsequently queried with popular interests, which resulted in a test set of TTDPs. The approach presented in this article turns out to be faster
and produces solutions of better quality.

Real money casino games
Real money casino games online are an excellent way to try your luck and win real money. However, you should be careful to manage your funds. Gambling is addictive and can lead to significant losses if you aren’t careful. The most devastating losses come from players who get carried away and don’t know when to quit.
Bonuses and promotions: Depending on the casino, you might get a free bonus for signing up or making a first deposit. If you haven’t played at a real money casino before, you should start by checking out the bonuses on offer. Typically, these bonuses are in the form of free spins on slots or money added to your online account. Just remember to read the bonus terms and conditions before making a deposit. Many real money casinos also offer a VIP program that rewards players for depositing and betting a certain amount. These programs usually have several levels and the rewards are better the higher you climb in the ranks.
Best paying online casinos
The best paying online casinos offer a variety of services. This includes the ability to cash out your winnings quickly and safely. Some of these services also offer high payout percentages, which is a good sign that a casino is legitimate. Other factors to look for in a top paying online casino are: RTP (return on investment) of casino games, wagering requirements, and casino bonuses.
High payout percentages also mean that the casino doesn’t have to cover many overhead costs, meaning it can give more of your winnings to you. These payouts translate into happier players who are more likely to come back.
Online casinos offer various types of bonuses to attract players. Some of them are free chips that you can use to play the games, and others match the amount you deposit or spend at the casino. These free bonuses can be very valuable and are a great way to test out a casino before committing your cash.
Most of these bonuses are aimed at attracting new players. Existing players may also receive a reload bonus. The purpose is to keep them coming back and entice them to play new games. These bonuses do not appear in lists, but instead are offered separately. The casino may give these bonuses during a promotional event or to promote a new game.
The most common deposit methods for online casinos are credit cards and debit cards. These methods are convenient and offer the quickest transaction times. However, you should be aware that it may take some time before your funds show up in your casino account. Some casinos also accept prepaid cards and wire transfers. Both methods have their advantages and drawbacks, so it is crucial that you choose the one that meets your needs.
When choosing a casino online, be sure to choose a secure one. Most casino sites accept credit and debit cards, while some also accept Apple Pay as a convenient way to make deposits. Some sites even offer enhanced bonuses for Apple Pay users.
A good online casino will have a license or logo from a reputable organization. It should also have clear terms of service and privacy policies. If you have any questions, you can ask the casino’s customer service or look at their website. You should also be able to verify if the casino is regulated by the gaming commission in your jurisdiction.
The legality of casino online gambling varies from state to state. Some states prohibit online gambling, while others regulate it to keep players safe from fraudulent operators. In the United States, most states allow casino online gambling. As long as players follow the rules, they should not encounter any legal issues.
