One of the most secluded waterfalls in the Yorkshire Dales can be found on the outskirts of the market town of Settle in the form of Scaleber Force circular walk. Hidden in the lush Scaleber woods Nature Reserve, the atmospheric waterfall is one of the most attractive you will experience and one to add to the bucket list – that’s for sure.
Scaleber Force stands at 40ft high and is found along with Stockdale Beck in North Yorkshire. The enchanting sight is found just 1.6 miles from Settle. It runs over limestone cliffs and cascades down into a deep pool of water.
Scaleber is just 10 minutes down the road from Malham and is a great way to escape the busy tourist spot for some peace and quiet in the tranquil wooded area with beautiful wildflowers and other sights in the Yorkshire Dales nature reserve.
Where Do You Park For Scaleber Force?
If you don’t fancy walking from Settle, the waterfall is easy to access via parking near High Hill Lane and Stockdale Lane. On the right-hand side, you can enter Scaleber woods and follow the path to the top of Scaleber Force. You can then follow a path down the woodland trail to the bottom to get a closer look at the waterfall from the bottom.
Can you swim in Scaleber Force?
When there, get back to nature and take a dip in nature’s jacuzzi, and enjoy the perfect opportunity to don those swimming trunks and have a dip and a swim at Scaleber Force!
The secluded haven is sheltered from the breeze letting in flecks of sunlight from the gaps in the trees giving a warm contrast to the cooler water bubbling around you.
In full spate, the waterfall is a real treat for the eyes and well worth a visit. It’s a great little romantic walk for couples or an incredible day out with the family. The Yorkshire Dales’ waterfall is one of our favourites and also landscape photographer, and it’s easy to see why. It’s also great to visit all year round.


The New York Yankees and Houston Astros are both popular picks to face each other in the playoffs later this year, as both teams currently hold double-digit leads in their respective American League divisions. They are getting set to open a four-game series on Thursday night, with New York looking to extend its MLB-best record. The Yankees are on a 14-game home winning streak, opening a 12-game lead over Toronto in the AL East.
New York can match its longest home winning streak since 1961 with a win on Thursday night. The Yankees are -130 favorites in the latest MLB odds at Caesars Sportsbook, while the Astros are +110 underdogs.

“As soon as she was gone from this earth, I felt an overwhelming need for more of her. I had to find her again. But how do you find someone after they’re gone for good?”
After her mother succumbed to a rare form of dementia, Myrl Coulter turned the eulogy she had written for the funeral into a series of meditations on absence. The result is fifteen personal narrative essays that move through the vacations, holidays, special occasions, and ordinary days each year brings. Coulter reaches for the mother who is gone, yet ever-present, no matter where she is or what she is doing. In every captivating detail of Coulter’s world, A Year of Days offers readers an intimate odyssey of experience and catharsis.
"A Year of Days is light without ever treading Hallmark grounds, funny while still acknowledging the gravitas of death and full of the remembered warmth or loss of not only the 'special' days, but also the days that lie around them by the hundreds: days at the lake, Mexican holidays and days in which we simply move and live. 'Keep moving,' Coulter writes. 'Movement is life.'"
"The book spans a single calendar year, but Coulter says what it’s really about is the process of living through the same dates and events, time and time again, even as our experiences of them change dramatically as we age." [Full article at http://bit.ly/1E0p6TF]

MinuteClinic opens new clinics in Pennsylvania
June 24th, 2013
WOONSOCKET, R.I. – MinuteClinic has opened its first two walk-in medical clinics in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley.
The CVS Caremark retail health clinic subsidiary said Monday that the clinics are located in CVS/pharmacy stores in Bethlehem and Macungie, Pa.
MinuteClinic launched its first clinics in Pennsylvania in 2007 and now has 24 clinics in CVS drug stores in the Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, Pa., markets.
Overall, plans call for MinuteClinic to open 150 clinics nationwide this year in both new and existing markets.
According to MinuteClinic president Andrew Sussman, the new clinic locations can help address a severe primary care shortage in Pennsylvania that's expected to get worse over the next decade.
"We believe MinuteClinic can be part of the solution to help broaden access to high-quality, convenient and affordable health care services in the Lehigh Valley and elsewhere in the state," Sussman, who's also senior vice president and associate chief medical officer at CVS Caremark, said in a statement.

Philadelphia, PA, September 12, 2012 Glucocorticoids, a group of hormones that includes cortisol, are considered stress hormones because their levels increase following stress. When their relationship to stress was first identified, it was shown that the release of cortisol prepared the body to cope with the physical demands of stress. Subsequently, high levels of cortisol were linked to depression and other stress-related disorders, giving rise to the hypothesis that high levels of cortisol on a long-term basis may impair the psychological capacity to cope with stress.
For this reason, drugs such as mifepristone that block glucocorticoid activity, called glucocorticoid receptor antagonists, have been tested as treatments for depression. But other recent data suggest that, in animal models and in humans, elevating glucocorticoid levels may reduce the development of posttraumatic stress disorder or PTSD.
This hypothesis is now supported by a new study in Biological Psychiatry. Using an animal model of PTSD, Rajnish Rao and colleagues demonstrate that elevated levels of glucocorticoids at the time of acute stress confers protection against anxiety-like behavior and the delayed enhancing effect of stress on synaptic connectivity in the basolateral amygdala.
"It seems, increasingly, that the 'trauma' in posttraumatic stress disorder is the impact of stress on brain structure and function," commented Dr. John Krystal, Editor of Biological Psychiatry. "The study by Rao and colleagues provides evidence that glucocorticoids may have protective effects in their animal model that prevent from these changes in synaptic connectivity, potentially shedding light on protective effects of glucocorticoids described in relation to PTSD."
Senior author Prof. Sumantra Chattarji from the National Centre for Biological Sciences in Bangalore, India, explained the reasoning behind their work: "First, this work was inspired by a puzz

Understanding interannual, decadal level variability in paralytic shellfish poisoning toxicity in the Gulf of Maine : the HAB Index

A major goal in harmful algal bloom (HAB) research has been to identify mechanisms underlying interannual variability in bloom magnitude and impact. Here the focus is on variability in Alexandrium fundyense blooms and paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxicity in Maine, USA, over 34 years (1978 – 2011). The Maine coastline was divided into two regions - eastern and western Maine, and within those two regions, three measures of PSP toxicity (the percent of stations showing detectable toxicity over the year, the cumulative amount of toxicity per station measured in all shellfish (mussel) samples during that year, and the duration of measurable toxicity) were examined for each year in the time series. These metrics were combined into a simple HAB Index that provides a single measure of annual toxin severity across each region. The three toxin metrics, as well as the HAB Index that integrates them, reveal significant variability in overall toxicity between individual years as well as long-term, decadal patterns or regimes. Based on different conceptual models of the system, we considered three trend formulations to characterize the long-term patterns in the Index – a three-phase (mean-shift) model, a linear two-phase model, and a pulse-decline model. The first represents a “regime shift” or multiple equilibria formulation as might occur with alternating periods of sustained high and low cyst abundance or favorable and unfavorable growth conditions, the second depicts a scenario of more gradual transitions in cyst abundance or growth conditions of vegetative cells, and the third characterizes a ”sawtooth” pattern in which upward shifts in toxicity are associated with major cyst recruitment events, followed by a gradual but continuous decline until the next pulse. The fitted models were compared using both residual sum of squares and Akaike’s Information Criterion. There were some differences between model fits, but none consistently gave a better fit than the others. This statistical underpinning can guide efforts to identify physical and/or biological mechanisms underlying the patterns revealed by the HAB Index. Although A. fundyense cyst survey data (limited to 9 years) do not span the entire interval of the shellfish toxicity records, this analysis leads us to hypothesize that major changes in the abundance of A. fundyense cysts may be a primary factor contributing to the decadal trends in shellfish toxicity in this region. The HAB Index approach taken here is simple but represents a novel and potentially useful tool for resource managers in many areas of the world subject to toxic HABs.

It's been established that fuel economy will be a priority for the 2015 Ford F-150, which has sparked strong rumors about a sub three-liter variant using EcoBoost technology at the expense of a traditional, entry-level V6 option.
Ford's pairing of turbocharging and direct fuel injection has proven effective across their range at improving economy while retaining reasonable output, generally designed with the intention of balancing both.
But Automotive News reports Ford hopes to pick up 3 MPG with the next iteration of the F-150. While the purported 700-pound weight reduction through utilization of aluminum will contribute to this, a high-efficiency variant could be essential to Ford complying with impending CAFE fuel regulations.
The NHTSA and EPA are mandating an average of 34.1 MPG across all automaker lineups by 2016, and they're expecting trucks will have to average 28.8 MPG to get there.
Since the Fuel Shark has been established as a non-viable option and the current 3.5-liter F-150 EcoBoost engine is designated as workhorse, a small displacement turbo could be Ford's ticket to a high MPG F-150.
Ford had made it clear that the Ranger, which measures within ten percent of the F-150's size, is not coming back to America. A frugal F-150 could fill the gap to compete downmarket with the likes of the Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, and perhaps most notably the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado.
Forums are alight with rumors, but the consensus appears to be that a 2.7 EcoBoost V6 with 320 HP and 375 Ft/Lb of torque will be the smallest engine available in the 2015 F-150, right behind a naturally aspirated 3.0. The 5.0 V8 and 3.5 EcoBoost will reportedly stay in the lineup.
Back in 2011, Mike Levine posted to his website PickupTrucks.com that Ford was working on V6 prototypes. Levine, it should be noted, is now the Ford Truck Communications Manager.
Levine went on to say that the engines, code-named "Nano", had displacements of "approximately 2.6 or 2.7 liters and 3.0 liters" and were slated for use in the 2015 Mustang and F-150. Rather than twin-turbos, the Nano engines would utilize a dual stage snail setup with a smaller turbo working for fuel economy at low speeds, and a larger one for additional power.
This is all still speculative, but the new F-150 is supposed to a big evolutionary jump for Ford so you should expect big changes.

THE PROMISE OF A NEW RAILWAY LIFE
Canfranc station (Spain), located on the edge of the Aragonese Pyrenees, was inaugurated in 1928 by Alfonso XIII. The fact that it was then the second largest in Europe is a clue to the prestige and influence with which it was conceived. The railway line was planned as the great gateway between Europe and Spain, which promised, as it did for some periods, the transit of goods, the emancipation of artists, the flow of new aesthetic and intellectual tastes and faster communications.
The building, with its glazed façade and a noucentista taste reminiscent of French palatial architecture of the time, was 241 metres long, 12 metres wide, with 75 doors on each side and 365 windows (one for each day of the year). A sophisticated showcase of Spain for the foreign travellers who alighted there.
Its international nature meant that two sets of tracks had to be installed, as the Spanish sleepers were of a different gauge and travellers had to change trains if they wanted to continue their journey to the border country. Thus, the station had double everything, platforms, ticket offices, police stations, customs... and a beautiful vestibule inside the station for transfers.

The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) and the Forest Service have urged farmers and those in the rural community to have their say on future forest plans for two in the west of Northern Ireland.
The areas being reviewed stretch from Strabane to Caledon and Moneymore to Kesh. These engagements are part of a process where all eight Forestry Planning Areas in Northern Ireland are being reviewed.
Calling on the farming community to respond to the engagement, planning forester, Breandan Mulholland, said: “Forestry planning facilitates the delivery of the many services our forests and woodlands provide, such as timber production, carbon sequestration, biodiversity and recreational opportunities.
Reviewing forest plans ensures that they are up to date and allows us to monitor our forests to enable them to continue to meet the diverse, and sometimes competing, needs of people, wildlife and wood processing industries.
“With an estimated forest cover of around 31,150ha in the areas being reviewed, forests and woodlands are a significant part of the rural landscape and economy.
“Over half of these forests and woodlands are non-Forest Service managed and comprise of nearly 5,000 separate woodlands mainly smaller than 1ha in size which are scattered throughout the farming landscape.
“The Forest Service seeks greater involvement of people in the revision of its forest plans that will consider Forest Service forests and include references to non-Forest Service forests and woodlands,” Mulholland added.
The farming community can help by telling the service what is important to them in relation to forests and woodlands.
“Forests are a vital natural resource which belong to us all, and it is particularly important that those living and working in the rural community have their say on the development of forest plans.”
The consultation runs until September 27, 2019.

Every now and then it is easy to forget that the one or two "better than expected" data points blasted by flashing headlines do nothing that merely mask what is an otherwise quite deplorable and deteriorating reality. For the disconnect between America and the rest of the world look no further than this chart showing the dramatic divergence between the DJIA, which has just gone positive for the year, and every other major global stock market.

Official Swiss Bank Denials Of SNB/Fed Dollar Swap Line Usage Sends Gold To New Record Just $120 Away From $2000Submitted by Tyler Durden on 08/19/2011 06:11 -0500
When we first presented yesterday that the SNB had used $200 million in FX swaps with the New York Fed, we speculated that this "means that it is not some usual PIIGS suspect, but one of the two "big ones." Obviously by this we meant Credit Suisse or UBS. It took the banks about 12 hours to come out and deny officially that it had been either of them. Well, it simply it is someone else, and hence someone with far less in deposit-based capital buffers. And then, of course, you know what they say about official denials... Anyway, whoever it was, Europe is not waiting to find out: this morning most European bourses are down between 2 and 4%, Dax down 3.7%, CAC down 2.8% and the FTSE down 2.8% at last check, as the specter of a pan-European bank run is back. The net result: spam continues to be a drag in the gold-canned food pair trade, hitting a new old time high of $1878 in the spot market minutes ago, and just $122 away from $2000. Should the market rout persist, we may well see $2000 in the next 48 market hours.
Think you were the only one who could not get within 100 feet of any liquidity in today's market which bounced up and down by 5 points on any chatic whim? Think again. The day after the market saw 844 stocks trigger short-sale restrictions (meaning they dropped more than 10% in one day), not even the robots were able to pull a rabbit out of a hat and at least 21 stocks ended up flash crashing for a millisecond or much longer during today's trading session. Below are the charts of the 21 identified victims of overzealous ask-side algos, as usual courtesy of Nanex.
The stunner in this morning's newsflow (the long, long overdue market collapse which is a much needed catalyst for QE3 should not surprise anyone), comes out of the WSJ which has just reported that the Bank of New York has informed institutional clients it will begin charging a fee of 13 bps on deposits in excess of 110% of the client's monthly average. This is nothing short of outright terrorism to get everyone out of cash and into fiat-based ponzi products. Such as Short Term Bills. Indeed, as was reported earlier the 3 Month bill just hit zero. But you ain't seen nothing yet. As Credit Suisse strategist Ira Jersey reports, courtesy of Bloomberg, "If this is true then we’re likely to see short-end interest rates actually go negative. By what degree depends on who else follows and how much money is involved." Cue unpredictable consequences of a totally broken bond market. What happens next will likely make the market dislocations following Lehman like a breezy walk in the park.
According to Credit Suisse, this is just the beginning of Transpacific central banking warfare. Per Dow Jones: "The Japanese Ministry of Finance's JPY-selling operation Thursday may be the first in a series of interventions over the coming weeks to curb further rises in the unit, and may have come Thursday in part as the Swiss National Bank's move Wednesday to weaken its own currency made it easier for Japan also to step in, says Koji Fukaya, director of fixed income and global foreign exchange research at Credit Suisse. "This may be the start of a number of actions, depending on the yen moves in the weeks ahead," Fukaya says. The SNB's move Wednesday means Japan's own move "could be considered as a kind of coordinated action" in response to broad USD weakness, he says. As traders say the MOF has so far sold under Y500 billion, Fukaya says the total size ahead could rise as high as Y2 trillion, though the move Thursday should be enough to send USD/JPY above 79.00 later, where it should stabilize in coming sessions. The pair is now at 78.32, from 77.10 earlier." To anyone trading in these 100% correlated markets, which are now nothing but a battleground for those who yield the global electronic fiat printing presses, good luck.
Make no mistake, something big is afoot behind the rhetoric and political talking points being thrown around by the White House and the GOP. That something will be some means of letting the banks get through this period without getting crushed.
In the past week, almost every single sellside bank and their mother has released a report on "what happens to the US if there is a [default|debt extension|compromise|zombie apocalypse (if one believes Tim Geithner)]. Sure enough, here is Credit Suisse with its three scenarios. This is notable as it presents the binary outcomes for the stock markets as a result of what develops in Congress. The scenarios are: i) debt ceiling extension (market up 3%); ii) debt ceiling not extended (market down 15%); iii) default (market plummets by at least 30%). Of course, if there is really is a default it is game over for equity markets but that is a moot point. Either way, any report that has zero mention of the word gold when contemplating the impact of a US default goes straight into the garbage. Such as this one.
Markets witnessed a risk-averse sentiment in early European trade following lack-lustre European corporate earning releases from the likes of Credit Suisse, Telefonica, Siemens, France Telecom, among many others, together with concerns surrounding a lack of progress in the US debt negotiations. Renewed market talk that the Italian finance minister, Tremonti, is set to resign further dented sentiment, although the rumour was later denied by the Italian government. The negative news flow resulted in European equities to trade lower, whereas Bunds and Gilts traded higher, with particular widening seen in the Italian/German 10-year government bond yield spread. Bunds did come under some pressure following market talk of the ECB buying in Eurozone peripheral debt, however that failed to provide any sustainable appetite for risk. Elsewhere, strength was observed in safe-haven currencies including USD, CHF and JPY, whereas the EUR traded under pressure for a vast majority of the European session. Moving into the North American open, markets look ahead to key economic data from the US in the form of jobless claims, and pending home sales reports. In fixed income, USD 29bln 7-year Note auction is also scheduled for later in the session. Markets will also keep a close eye on US corporate earnings from the likes of ExxonMobil.

Another European Market Implosion On Weak Italy Auctions, Tremonti Resignation Rumors, Deteriorating Economic Data And Earnings MissesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/28/2011 06:10 -0500
On the one week anniversary of Europe's second bailout one may be tempted to ask "what bailout" looking at the across the board deterioration in European market metrics: Spanish 10 Year bonds over 6.00% again, Italy CDS surging to 330 bps, Italy Bunds spreads at 331 just inches away from all time wides of 353 bps, EURUSD plunging by over 100 pips overnight, CAC, DAX, OMX all falling by more than 1 standard deviation as VW, chemical maker BASF, and Credit Suisse all missed earnings estimates, and, of course, numerous Italian banks (don't disappoint us UniCredit) once again on the verge of being halted after plunging by a solid 5-6%. Several reasons for the weakness: i) Italy auctioned off €8 billion in 3,4,7,10 and year fixed and floating rate notes generating weaker than expected results with the 10 year bond gross yield rising to 5.77%, the highest since 2000, and just under the all time record of 5.81%, and the 3 year gross yield of 4.80 pushing to the highest since 2008, ii) more rumors of Tremonti resigning, iii) European retail sales declining for a third month according to Markit, and iv) a decline in Euro-area economic confidence more than estimated, dropping from 105.4 to 103.2, below the consensus of 104.0. German bunds are once again well bid with September futures rising 0.2% to 129.63. But not before rumors of ECB buying peripheral bonds via the SMP spooked bunds lower, with the resulting rise being only a result of the flight from Italy. And putting a cherry on top of it all was ECB's Mersch who once again resumed the old party line, saying that fears of a "premature end to euro are unfounded." And to think that just a week earlier the ECB told us we would never have to worry about the end of the euro.

In a must read Op Ed, Bloomberg's Jon Weil takes another long hard look at the balance sheet of the most undercapitalized bank in America (thank would be Bank of America) courtesy of the worst M&A transaction in history, namely its purchase of Countrywide, observes what everyone, even John Paulson now knows, that due to trading at half its book value nobody in the market gives even remote credit to the bank's asset "marks", and concludes that this organization, courtesy of an extremely lax regulatory and audit structure, which continues to allow it to mark any assets at whatever price it desires, could well be the next AIG: "There’s more
at stake here, however, than whether Bank of America’s shares
are a “buy” or a “sell.” The main thing the rest of us care about is the continuing
menace this company and others like it pose to the financial
system, knowing we never should have let ourselves be put in the
position where a collapse in confidence at a single bank could
wreak havoc on the world’s economy. Here we are again, though.
Curse the geniuses who brought us this madness." Indeed: once again, right before our eyes, day after day we allow various higher status quo-embedded individuals to take advantage of the gullible public by misrepresenting the massive risk that the left side of BAC's balance sheet represents, which can have only one conclusion: the same epic implosion that brought down AIG once the market reality caught up the with book myth. Yet in the case of AIG unbridled risk-taking and book mismarking we can at least put the blame on one person: the man at the heart of AIG FP, Joe Cassano, whose reckless bets nearly brought down capitalism. So our question is: is there someone at or affiliated with Bank of America that could soon double as a Joe Cassano for the 2010s? We have one suggestion (although certainly not exhaustive): Brian Lin of RRMS Advisors.

James King, an expert on Zaydism, has a good and accessible over-view of the situation in Yemen at Truthout.org He was also kind enough to email me a link to a paper he has written titled "Zaydi's in a Post-Zaydi Yemen". I look forward to reading it and blogging about it, as I think that it is too easy and misleading to just say a "Shi'ite Rebellion". A deeper knowledge of the grievances would be very helpful. Actually, a fun drinking game is to take a shot anytime someone says "Shi'ite rebellion" as a way of explaining the Huthi war.
A nice little headline here- "UK Joins Friends of Yemen Group- which doesn't sound at all infantile.
Meanwhile, up north, the government and the Huthis are arguing over potential truce terms. The Saudis are claiming that there have been in-country sniper attacks by the Huthis, but also claiming that they are no longer fighting inside Yemen. One of the issues with potential truces is that, for all three sides, they represent a huge chance to continue to control the narrative, which is essentially what all civil wars are about. No one wants to accept conditions that make them sound like the aggressor, and even subtle differences in wording can be a sticking point.
Finally, in the south, an opposition politician was gunned down late last week. The southern movement is the "third rebellion"- it is rarely remarked upon except in passing. But we've both argued at times that this is the most important of the three rebellions, and the one that presents Yemeni unity its gravest challenge.
We're more dependent on them than we realize.
- Scientists says our survival depends on biodiversity.
- A natural climate strategy we often forget.
- Seeing our place among the Earth's living creatures.
There's a high social cost that comes with lighting up.
While short-term results are positive, there is mounting evidence against staying in ketosis for too long.
- Recent studies showed volunteers lost equal or more weight on high-carb, calorie-restricted diets than low-carb, calorie restricted diets.
- There might be positive benefits to short-term usage of a ketogenic diet.
- One dietician warns that the ketogenic diet could put diabetics at risk for diabetic ketoacidosis.

Hey everybody, so I’ve created a new Max patch + JS script for controlling all 8 channels of the Digitakt from my Monome 40th. My goal was to create new ways to perform with the Digitakt which cannot be easily done from the Digitakt itself (yes you can hold Track and change all tracks at once but this is much quicker).
MGC (MultiChannel Grid Control) can basically create button groups on the Monome. Each group can be assigned to one or multiple MIDI CC destinations and each button in a group can be assigned to different values. What’s also cool is that it will output the MIDI CC to multiple MIDI Channels so I can control all 8 tracks of the Digitakt at once.
It can also save and recall multiple scenes / presets and randomize everything.
While this was designed with the Digitakt in mind, it can definitely be used with other samplers, drum machines, synthesizers, etc.
It’s open source and available at https://github.com/icaroferre/MGC
Here’s a video demo: https://youtu.be/QMNk66-enZg
In order to use this with other gear you just need to create a different mapping file (JSON) and set it up as you want.
The script can be modified to work with larger Monomes, I just haven’t had the time yet to add multiple sizes. It should work with Monome 64s for now.
Anyway, hope this is useful for some of your and let me know if you have any other ideas / suggestions!

Troy Renck argues that Jhoulys Chacin might be next in line among Rockies for a multi-season extension, following the pattern set by the team in locking up other young arbitration eligible players. Chacin's not a bad choice, and I'd probably tend to agree given that the one other likely option for this type of contract would be Dexter Fowler, and the chances of him signing a multi-season pact before free agency diminish significantly with Scott Boras as an agent. While you can go ahead and click on the link to read more about Chacin's situation (O'Dowd says it's not going to happen just yet) this got me to thinking about how likely that it would be that Fowler would be open to such an extension and willing to buck the Boras trend and advice ala Carlos Gonzalez last winter.
First of all, the background is that Fowler's set to reach free agency in advance of the 2016 season. 2016 is distant enough that even with Boras as an agent, there is a decent chance that Fowler signs a three year pact next winter to give the Rockies some cost certainty with the center fielder through his arbitration years. Fowler would have to produce above his last two seasons' production in 2012 obviously to make this happen, but at that point it's a matter of how much a stretch it would be to add a season or two to the contract. Given that Fowler will be 30 at the time of his current projected entry into the open market, it already might be a stretch as he'd want to maximize that first free agency contract, and it might be undesirable for the Rockies anyway to lock a declining player too deep into their fourth decade. That said, with Gonzalez in tow until 2017, I would think the Rockies might want to try to keep Fowler around at least through the same period.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Rockies push for a three year contract plus a fourth year, fairly lucrative option should Fowler have a strong 2012.
Renck also talks about a humidor in Colorado Springs, which apparently isn't going to happen this upcoming season, but needs to fairly soon if the Rockies want to have the Sky Sox as anything more than an extended bench. Developmentally for the big league club, the place remains mostly useless in its current state.

When we consult an Ayurvedic physician, they usually correlate our ailments with an increase in one or more of the three dosas- Vata, Pitta or Kapha. Many of you must be getting these words as a confusion! Today we will be discussing about the Fundamentals of Ayurveda which is called ‘Tridosa‘.
It is important that we understand these important terms of Ayurveda, in order to know about our individual characteristics and inclinations.
What is Tridosa?
Tridosa is composed of two words: ‘tri+dosa’. Here ‘tri’ means ‘a group of three basic elements i.e., Vata, Pitta and Kapha’ and ‘dosa’ means ‘which is capable of vitiation’. When Vata, Pitta and Kapha are vitiated they produce disease and when they are in equilibrium, or in their natural state, they maintain a perfect balance or harmony between the body and saptadhatus thereby upholding and maintaining the body.
What are Body constituents?
As Tridosas, our body too has three constituent elements ‘dosa, dhatu and mala’. The human body is made up of related factors of dosa, dhatu and mala. All the constituent elements of our body are a part of these three, out of which dosas are the most important as they are the most powerful forces in the body which create either health or disease. This is the energy source of the body.
The Tridosa Theory:
Human body is made up of five principles (Panchamahabuthas)
1. Akasa (air)
2. Vayu (vital force)
3. Tejas (some mineral, acids, alkalies etc.)
4. Jala (water)
5. Prithvi (organic substances and earthly matter not included in others)
Fundamentals of Ayurveda: Vata, Pitta and Kapha
Vata derives from the elements of Space and Air and translates as “wind” or “that which moves things.” It is the energy of movement and the force governing all biological activity. Vata is often called the “King of the Doshas,” since it governs the body’s greater life force and gives motion to Pitta and Kapha.
The qualities of Vata are dry, rough, light, cold, subtle, and mobile. The main locations of Vata in the body are the colon, thighs, bones, joints, ears, skin, brain, and nerve tissues.
Pitta derives from the elements of Fire and Water and translates as “that which cooks.” It is the energy of digestion and metabolism in the body that functions through carrier substances such as organic acids, hormones, enzymes, and bile.The qualities of Pitta are oily, sharp, hot, light, moving, liquid, and acidic.
A Pitta individual will display physical and mental characteristics that reflect these qualities in both a balanced and imbalanced state. The main locations of Pitta in the body are the small intestine, stomach, liver, spleen, pancreas, blood, eyes, and sweat.
Kapha derives from the elements of Earth and Water and translates as “that which sticks.” It is the energy of building and lubrication that provides the body with physical form, structure, and the smooth functioning of all its parts. The qualities of Kapha are moist, cold, heavy, dull, soft, sticky, and static.
A Kapha individual will display physical and mental characteristics that reflect these qualities in both a balanced and imbalanced state. The main locations of Kapha in the body are the chest, throat, lungs, head, lymph, fatty tissue, connective tissue, ligaments, and tendons.
These are the three pillars which governs our body design, texture, capacity and all other characteristics. So, this was a small brief description on Tridosa which is known as the fundamental of Ayurveda. Every person seeking the knowledge of Ayurveda, or interested in Ayurveda, must be knowing about this.
It is like ABCD in the world of Ayurveda. Ayurveda says “Arogya (Health) is our birth right”. Take care and live well!

Electric power distribution is the final stage in the delivery of electric power. it carries electricity from the transmission system to individual consumers. Often several customers are supplied from one transformer through secondary distribution lines. There are Several electrical equipment are involved in Power Distribution. Transformers, Switchgear, Bus Ducts, etc. are main contributors at this final stage of electric distribution.
A distribution transformer provides the final voltage transformation in the electric power distribution system, stepping down the voltage used in the distribution lines to the level used by the customer.
In our range of products, we have Cast Resin Transformers and Oil Immersed type Transformers which are designed and manufactured in the state-of-the-art manufacturing plants. The capacity of Distribution Transformers ranging from 100kVA/11kV to 10 MVA/36kV.

Is It a Good Idea to Use Automatic Bill Payments
Many people may have heard of automatic bill payments. You may be using it already to pay for your phone or credit card bills, but some are still not sure though if this is such a good idea.
Automatic bill payment is worth considering
People are often afraid of possible security breaches when making transactions in the web. Let us give you a rundown of the most important pros and cons so you can decide for yourself if it’s a good idea to use automatic bills payments.
Convenience is the utmost advantage
It’s a very convenient way of paying your bills. This is probably the main reason why people thought of creating this method of payment. We usually go through the process of paying for these bills, again and again, every month, issuing checks or going to a payment website to make payments. With automatic bills payment, all you have to do is set it up once, and let the automation do the payments for you.
If you automate your bill payments with your bank, it could improve your credit score.
Financial transaction breaches could happen online from time to time with banks, but technology experts nowadays implement robust security measures to prevent such attacks.
The disadvantages could cost you more money
Getting overdrawn on your account is the main risk when you automate bill payments. It’s also possible that at some point, you’ll have insufficient funds to cover all the payments. This could happen if you don’t monitor your accounts regularly.
You could end up paying for additional fines and fees because your bank account is getting overdrawn as well as your payments not getting paid on schedule. This could negatively affect your credit score.
You may end up paying for the mistakes of other people. It’s possible for any of the service providers enrolled in your automatic bills payment to make a mistake on your bill and overbill you. Since you pay automatically, you may end up paying without knowing there was a mistake. Even if you find it out, it often takes so much time and effort before you get your money back.
To resolve such costly disadvantages, you may want to consider automating only the bills that have fix amounts and set up an alert every time a bill gets paid from your account. Instead of automating bill payments with banks, some individuals consider automated payment solutions offered by tech companies that specializes in financial solutions. Individuals who prefer to automate their bill payments also often use an international account for a convenient way to transfer funds in multiple currencies.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Gloucester High School's Paul Ingram has been named the New England Patriots High School Coach of the Week in recognition of his team's 9-0 start, including Gloucester's 22nd straight win, a 42-18 win over Revere last week. The New England Patriots Charitable Foundation will donate $1,000 to Gloucester High School's football program in Ingram's name in recognition of his Coach of the Week selection.
Coach Ingram and his captains - Andrew Mizzoni, Chris Unis, Mike Tomaino and Gilbert Brown - were guests at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday to receive the award and will be featured on the team's weekly television magazine show, Patriots All Access, which airs at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 12 on WBZ-TV in Boston and later on Patriots.com.
This season marks the 15th year in which the Patriots have joined the National Football League in conducting the High School Coach of the Week program, which recognizes outstanding high school coaches and promotes youth football throughout New England. Patriots and NFL Hall of Fame linebacker Andre Tippett, the team's executive director of community affairs, oversees the program as part of the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation's commitment to youth football initiatives.
"Coach Ingram clearly has his team clicking on all cylinders, which is evident in the team's 22nd straight win last week," said Tippet. "Having met the captains Wednesday, I immediately could tell it's about tradition, discipline, character and pride with the Fishermen from Gloucester. The Patriots would like to congratulate the entire team on their undefeated start to the season as well as their 4-0 conference record, and we are happy to present Coach Ingram with this week's New England Patriots High School Coach of the Week award. We are proud to be able to reward his team and Gloucester High School with a donation to the football program and we wish them the best of luck going forward."
At the conclusion of the season, one high school coach will be named the New England Patriots High School Coach of the Year and will receive an additional $2,000 contribution toward the school's football program.
The New England Patriots Charitable Foundation is the non-profit through which the Patriots support charitable and philanthropic organizations throughout New England. This support comes in the form of direct grants, in-kind donations and player appearances. The foundation assists a variety of charitable organizations and programs throughout New England by supporting their educational, family and health initiatives.

Last week, President Trump announced he would be making E15 available year-round. NMMA is urging EPA and the Trump Administration not to harm boaters and the recreational boating industry by allowing the sale of E15 year-round. NMMA has been working hard to ensure E15 stays out of the market, given its damaging effects on marine engines. Recently, NMMA issued a Boating United alert and is encouraging the industry to take action on this now more than ever given last week's announcement. (CLICK HERE to access the alert).
Thom Dammrich, president of NMMA, issued the following statement after President Trump's announcement:
“President Trump’s promise to expand E15 sales into the summer months will needlessly put 141 million American boaters in danger. Unfortunately, far too few boating enthusiasts are aware that boat engines cannot process higher blends of ethanol safely. In fact, 63 percent of consumers assume any gas sold at a retail gas station must be safe for their product.
This shift in policy is simply a political decision meant to appease American farmers who, like American marine manufactures, will be severely harmed by the Administration’s recent trade actions. Rather than negotiating smart policy that benefits all stakeholders, the Administration is trying to fix bad policy with more bad policy.
The National Marine Manufacturers Association and our members – who support 650,000 American jobs and contribute $36 billion to the economy each year – are calling on President Trump and the Environmental Protection Agency to implement additional policies that recognize the harmful effects that E15 and high-ethanol fuel blends have on marine products.
We are calling on the EPA to revise the labeling requirements for ethanol fuel blends exceeding 15 percent, implement a consumer education campaign to raise awareness, and approve the registration of isobutanol as a gasoline additive in order to expand access to innovative, renewable fuels that do not pose a threat to consumer safety.
Without these additional steps, the millions of hardworking men and women who enjoy recreational boating will be at risk, something we must avoid at all costs.”
According to a Harris Poll commissioned by the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (2017):
- 63 percent of consumers assume any gas sold at a retail gas station must be safe for their product.
- 95 percent of boats are fueled at retail gas stations. Boat owners depend on safe, reliable and proven fuel choices to be universally available.
- Misfueling of engines voids warranties, leaving consumers with expensive repair and replacement bills.
- Only seven percent of consumers know that E15 is prohibited in certain engines.

Goldman CEO compensation drops 98% to $1.1 mln in 2008
(5:52 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Goldman Sachs Group
paid Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein $1.11 million in total compensation for 2008, down 98% from the year before, according to the investment bank's proxy statement, which was filed late Friday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In 2007, Blankfein received $70.3 million in total compensation. The 2008 pay comprised a $600,000 salary, $277,828 in stock awards and $235,943 in other compensation, such as life insurance premiums, Goldman disclosed. Goldman didn't grant any stock to its top five executives for 2008, so Blankfein's $277,828 stock award reflects the firm's accounting of grants from previous years, the firm explained.
Goldman may be buyer in troubled asset plan, CEO tells CNBC
(2:16 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Goldman Sachs
may be a buyer rather than a seller if it takes part in the government's latest plan to cleanse banks of troubled assets, Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein told CNBC Friday. Morgan Stanley
Chief Executive John Mack said the firm marks all its assets to market, making it less likely it will be a seller in the Public-Private Investment Program, or PPIP. Goldman's Blankfein also said the firm is "anxious" to get the results of the government's so-called stress test, which is scheduled to be completed by the end of April. He said the firm is already confident about its financial strength, but needs to hear what regulators think. After that, Goldman may be in a position to repay money it got last year from the government's Troubled Asset Relief Program. Blankfein noted that repaying TARP money is in taxpayers' interests.
J.P. Morgan doesn't need to raise equity, Dimon tells CNBC
(2:01 PM ET) SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
doesn't need to raise equity capital, Chief Executive Jamie Dimon told CNBC Friday. Dimon also said March has been "a little tougher" than January and February. Dimon was speaking after a meeting between President Barack Obama and CEOs of the nation's largest banks. Dimon said J.P. Morgan is looking for guidance from the Treasury Department about when to repay money the bank got last year from the Troubled Asset Relief Program. He also noted that Wall Street compensation practices "went too far" and that banks made a lot of mistakes in this area.
KB Home loss lessens
(8:07 AM ET) NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Homebuilder KB Home
said Friday its fiscal first quarter loss shrank to $58.1 million, or 75 cents a share, from a loss of $268.2 million, or $3.47 a sahre last year. Revenue fell to $307.3 million from $794.2 million, the firm said.
Commerzbank shares advance after update on Dresdner
(7:06 AM ET) LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Shares in Germany's Commerzbank(DE:CBK)
rose around 9% Friday after the group restated its 2008 results to include the acquired Dresdner Bank business and said it aims to raise around 20 billion euros ($27 billion) of funds in the capital markets in 2009. The bank said the combined business made a net loss of 6.57 billion euros in 2008, with 6.28 billion euros of that coming from Dresdner. The bank said it's issued bonds totalling around 7.75 billion euros this year, and that, including private placements, it has already achieved more than 50% of its total refinancing requirements for 2009. It also said net interest income should continue to rise in 2009, though it will face restructuring expenses of around 2 billion euros.

It intends to repay the bonds by June 2013 with the revenue from its asset disposal process, which was started last year. The bank said impairments on goodwill and financial assets in the quarter jumped to 399.6 million euros from 46.7 million euros a year earlier.

The New 2022 Range Rover | A Brillian of luxury – Car News – Reviews – Specs – Exterior & Interior
In more than 50 years there have only been four generations of Range Rover, so this all-new, fifth-generation car for 2022 is a significant step for Land Rover. Not least because the British brand’s iconic luxury SUV will be available as a plug-in hybrid and with seven seats for the first time.
The new Range Rover is on sale now, priced from £94,400, and is the first model on the British brand’s new MLA-Flex platform, which allows for pure combustion-engined powertrains, plug-in hybrid tech in the form of the P440e and P510e models, and fully electric propulsion – and on that front, a Range Rover EV has been confirmed for 2024.Land Rover has fully opened the order books for the new Range Rover with the arrival of plug-in hybrid options and new well-appointed SV models. The firm has also announced the final specifications for the battery-assisted versions of its new flagship model. Two plug-in hybrid models of the new Range Rover are available – the P440e and the more powerful P510e model, the former on sale now priced from £103,485.
Land Rover confirmed plans for two plug-in hybrid versions of the new L460 generation Range Rover last year, when the car was revealed. Both models use a 3.0-litre straight-six turbocharged petrol engine in tandem with a 141bhp electric motor and a 38kWh battery (with a usable capacity of 31kWh), though the P440e’s petrol engine is detuned slightly in comparison to the more powerful P510e variant. With the introduction of the plug-in hybrid models, Land Rover has also introduced SV versions of the new Range Rover, with the new range-topping specification priced from £146,200 in short-wheelbase guise and stretching up to £173,200 for the 4.4-litre V8 petrol powered P530 version in long-wheelbase form. The P510e plug-in hybrid will be available as part of this line-up in the short-wheelbase body length only. Mild-hybrid tech also features in the engine line-up, with a 394bhp 3.0-litre petrol (0-62mph in 5.8 seconds, 29.7mpg combined and 215g/km of CO2), as well as two diesel options. The 3.0-litre straight-six-engined D300 and D350 model offer 296bhp and 345bhp respectively, with up to 37.2mpg possible and CO2 emissions from 198g/km.At the top of the engine range sits a new 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol unit, offering 523bhp and 750Nm of torque. Thanks to a Dynamic Launch system the 0-62mph sprint is dispatched in 4.6 seconds, while top speed is limited to 155mph.This fifth-generation Range Rover will be the first that offers seating for seven. The new car comes in five-seat standard wheelbase form, while if you opt for the long wheelbase variant you can specify a third row of seats.The LWB model adds an extra 200mm between the car’s axles, facilitating the new seating configuration. We tried the third row at the car’s unveiling and, while there’s not as much room as in the brand’s larger Discovery, there’s still enough space for children and adults on shorter journeys.From launch the new Range Rover is available in SE, HSE, Autobiography and SV trim levels, as well as a First Edition model that will be on sale for the first year of production.

VOL I. GROWING SORGHUM FOR FEED GOVERNMENT EXPERTS FURNISH VALUABLE INFORMA TION RELATIVE TO GROWING AND CURING SORGHUM FOR STOCK FEEDING PURPOSES. CONDITIONS AS THEY EXIST IN THE IMPERIAL SETTLEMENTS FAVORABLE TO SORGHUM. Sorghum as a Forage Crop. Thero aro few plants that will flour tali under such widely different condi tions of soil find cllmuto hh sorghum. AlthoiiKh there are several varieties of sorghums information of those vu rletlos host adrpted to forage pur poses will probably bo of Interest to many of our readers. The following article Is copied from the latest re ports of the United States Agricul tural Department: Conditions of Growth. Sorghum, like corn, does best on rich. Btindy loams. It Ih a Btronger feeder than corn and gives better re- Htilts on thin lands. It is maintained that vhen land has become too poor and thlr to Mine corn or small grain. MILLET CUT AM) BUNCH KD IS TIIK KOKBOKOUNO ANI> BOKOIIUM STANDING IN THE BACKGROUND. SOWN AITEK JULY FIRST. riIOTO(SRAPII TAKEN NOVEMBER I, 1901. two or throe good crops of sorghum may be obtained from it. and the land will be left in better condition fo> corn, cotton and other surface feed ing crops. In California and else where good yields are obtained on soils containing a high percentage of alkali, and hence It Is regarded as a good crop to uao In rotations for such lands. Sorghum Ih generally regarded as harder on land than corn, and this Is undoubtedly true to a great extent, since It Is a deeper feeder and two or more crops aro often harvested In a single season. Still there are many Instances of sorghum being grown on the same Held for many years with out any apparent lessening of the quantity or quality of the crop from the Impoverishing of the land, and there nre many soils that are un doubtedly benefited by the deep growing roots of tho plant. Sorghum, llko corn and other related plants, drawn a largo proportion of Us food elements from tho atmosphere. Tho prlnclpnl materials taken from tho "Water Is King- Here Is Its Kingdom." IMPERIAL, CAL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1901. soil are potash, phosphoric acid and nitrogen. Comparatively little of the hint substance Is used. As sorghum is grown in many places It Ih certainly not ob hard on the land ;ih most other crops. When planted late, sown with cow peas or field peas and cut before the seeds ripen, the land is left In excellent condition, especially if It is plowed soon after the crop is taken off. A native of the tropics, sorghum naturally reaches Its best develop ment where high temperatures pre vail. Because of Its wonderful adap tability, however, varieties have been developed which are perfectly hardy throughout the greater part of the United States and In many portions of Canada. As a general thing, sor ghum will do well In the North wherever corn can be successfully grown, while It is a standard crop in many places In the South where corn is grown in limited quantities. Both the saccharine and nonsaccharine va rieties of sorghum endure drought better than corn, and hence aro ex tensively grown In many of tho dryer regions of the country. In parts of the South and West where severe droughts sometimes occur, sorghum Is regarded as a sure crop, though corn and other grain and forago crops may fall to reach maturity. It will remain fresh and green through a dry spell that would ruin corn. Even when drought has been so sever© as to check Its growth. It will recover Immediately on the renewal of the supply of moisture. i ho seeds germinate best when tho soil Is quite worm and should not bo planted until after danger from damp, chilly weather is past. At first tho young plants make a large root growth aa compared with the growth of the atom, and hence aoem AND FARMER to develop slowly. Hut as soon as the roots ore well established, the stem growth Is very rapid and Is not easily checked by dry weather. Methods of Culture. Preparation of the Soil.— Many different methods of preparing the soil for sorghum are practiced In the various parts of the country. In gen eral It may be said that the land should receive essontially the same treatment as If It were to be planted to corn or cotton. The time and depth of plowing will necessarily vary according to the season and the character of the soil and climate. In any case the soil should be in fine tilth to a good depth, so as to afford a good seed bed. In the West and Southwest good re sults are obtained by plowing shallow In the fall before planting, or In eaily spring, and then a second time to a greater depth after the weeds have started well and Just before the time to plant This gets rid of the early weeds and allows the sorghum to get well established before another lot can spring up. If the land is at all rough or cloddy, it should be gone over with a harrow or pulverized and reduced to a smooth, mellow eondl tiop In the South, the land is usu ally bedded as for cotton. When sorghum Is grown for forage and In ordinary farm rotations, there is seldom need of much of an applica tion of fertilizers. Many soils have been known to produce successive crops for eight or ten years without any apparent decrease in fertility. Well-rotted barnyard manure Is per haps tho beet fertilizer, should any be needed. The commercial sorts con taining potash, phosphoric acid and nitrogen may also bo used, though as ii rule but little of the last substance will be necessary. In the South It Is a common practice to use 150 to 200 pounds of cotton-seed meal on land to be sown to sorghum. Tlmo and Methods of Planting.— Tho best tlmo for planting this crop for forugo varies from about the mld dlo of April In tho South to the mid dle of May or the first of June In the North. As a rule, it should be planted soon after the corn Is In. The seed shou.d not be put Into the soil until SORGHUM NUMBER the latter has become well warmed, bo that germination may take place at once. Moreover, the young sorghum plant grows slowly If the weather is cold and weeds are likely to become troublesome. On the other hand, If the soil Is warm and free from weeds to start with, the sorghum will keep ahead of the weeds and cultivation will be much easier. As a rule, the best forage Is ob tained by sowing the seed broadcast or with a press drill, such as is used in planting small gran. In the West and Southwest the latter method 1b preferred, as the cane stands up bet ter and Is not so likely to suffer from drought. On some soils, particularly in some parts of the East and South, better results are obtained by drop ping or drilling the seed in rows far enough apart to allow an occasional stirring with one or two horse culti vators. This is also a good method to follow for cane to be fed early in pre paring hogs for market, or as a soil ing crop for stock in pasture. The plants grow too coarse for dry for age, however, and for general pur poses broadcasting and seeding with press drills will give better satisfac tion. The lister has been used with good results and in some Instances in the West, but the practice is hardly t6 be recommended because of the often slow growth of the young cane al ready mentioned and because of a lia bility of the plants being washed out of the furrows by heavy rains. Some farmers report good results by sowing the seed broadcast on un prepared land and plowing it under, while others condemn this method of seeding. Covering the seed with a disk harrow seems to be more suc cessful, especially in loose, sandy soils. Many farmers mix corn, millet and various kinds of peas or beans with the sorghum, and in this way secure a better quality of forage. The sow ing of lagumes with sorghum is an excellent practice. The large amount of muscle-making substances In the lagumes, together with the sugar and other fat-forming elements in the cane, affords a much more evenly balanced ration than either of the plants would make alone. Moreover, the lagumes will do much to replace whatever nitrogen the sorghum may take from me soil. Quantity of Seed Per Acre. — Sor ghum should always be sown much thicker when sown for forage than when It Is to be used In the manu facture of sugar or molasses. The amount of seed needed per acre will vary somewhat according to the kind of forage desired, the method of planting to be followed, and the char acter of the soil. The practice varies greatly in different parts of the coun try, ranging from one-half bushel to three bushels per acre, broadcast or drilled. Under ordinary conditions one and one-half to two bushels (45 to 60 pounds) will be sufficient when sown broadcast, and a somewhat less amount will suffice when planted with a press drill. If the cane Is Intended for a sum mer pasture, a little more seed may be used. If peas or like crops are sown with sorghum, three pecks to one bushel of each will be ample. When planted in hills or drills for cultivation with hoe and plow, the seed should also be planted more tuickly than when grown for the manufacture of sugar or molasses, otherwise the cane is likely to be too large to be easity handled, and stock will not eat it up clean. In many places in the South one seeding Is sufficient for several years, as the cane sprouts up eac. season from the old stubble. Cultivation. — If the cane has been sown broadcast or put Jn with a No. 34.

While gambling may be an enjoyable pastime, it can also lead to negative emotional and physical consequences. It is classified as an impulse-control disorder and can affect one’s physical, psychological, and social life. Physical problems associated with gambling include migraine, intestinal disorders, and distress. In extreme cases, people who suffer from this problem may even attempt suicide. However, there are ways to reduce or stop your gambling addiction. These methods include:
A comprehensive evaluation by a trained clinical professional is the best way to determine whether a person is suffering from a gambling disorder. A clinical professional will perform a comprehensive evaluation and develop a treatment plan based on the individual’s unique needs. Treatment options may address different aspects of the person’s life, including their professional and family situations. If you suspect that you might have a gambling problem, it is important to get help immediately. Your health care provider can refer you to a treatment provider.
Young people often participate in casino games with friends, but even then, they can develop gambling problems. A 2005 study of Alberta university students found that two out of 100 showed signs of gambling problems. While it’s not possible to completely avoid the temptation to gamble, there are ways to limit it while remaining safe and social. In general, you can usually win back any losses you have. However, if you lose money for a prolonged period, you may end up with a greater amount of debt than you could handle.
Gambling is an international business, generating $335 billion in revenue in 2009 alone. The most popular forms of gambling are chance-based games such as lottery, bingo, and gaming machines. Chance-based gambling has equal odds for everyone. However, if you have friends or relatives who gamble with you, it is important that you set aside a portion of your income specifically for this activity. If you want to avoid paying taxes on the money you make from gambling, you should first calculate how much you want to spend on a gaming session.
Gambling is a major industry in the United States. Despite its popularity, gambling is often heavily regulated by governments. This close relationship between governments and gaming companies has led to the growth of gambling tourism and illegal gambling in prohibited areas. As a result, many jurisdictions have become heavily involved in gambling. This is a good thing for the economy, as gambling generates significant tax revenue for governments. That’s a good thing for everyone!
The benefits of gambling are numerous. For instance, it is a great way to relieve stress. Many people use gambling as a social activity, and the thrill of winning a large amount of money can boost moods and decrease stress. It can also offer an intellectual challenge. Gambling has become a common form of entertainment in many cultures. However, there are several important reasons for doing so. So, how can you make gambling safer? Once you understand the reasons that you are gambling, you can begin to change your behaviour.

Temporary Leeds mortuary for Covid deaths now being used to store bodies
Bodies are now being stored at an emergency mortuary which was created to help hospitals cope with the rise in deaths as a result of Covid-19.
It is now being used to store bodies, a council spokesman confirmed.
Yesterday (Tuesday), Leeds hospitals recorded 12 further deaths of patients who had tested positive for Covid-19.
Office for National Statistics data shows there have been a total of 1,240 deaths recorded in Leeds where the death certificate mentioned Covid-19 as one of the causes.
A council spokesman said: “We mobilised and started to use the temporary mortuary towards the end of 2020 to relieve pressure on hospital mortuary provision.”
The decision to build the mortuary was not subject to the council’s normal decision-making channels, as a report at the time said any unnecessary delay “may severely impact on the city’s ability to deal with the anticipated increase in mortality rates as a consequence of the Covid-19 outbreak.”
The document added: “As part of the emergency planning in response to the Covid-19 outbreak, the City Council is making preparations for the provision of a temporary mortuary to support existing facilities in the city.”.
The report stated: “Given the urgency of the nature of the works it was vital that Authority to Spend of £800,000 be approved so that an initial order (to the value of £306,000 rounded) could be placed with Airedale Catering Equipment Ltd, in order to secure the manufacture and installation of the equipment to allow delivery to site during week commencing 13 April 2020, so that the temporary facility is available to support existing mortuary facilities in the city as soon as possible.”
Coun Elizabeth Nash (Lab), represents the Hunslet and Riverside ward where the facility will be set up, said in April: “It is out of the way, and most people will not know it’s there.
“But I do think the whole of Leeds has to know about this because some people still aren’t taking the virus seriously and listening to advice.
“It’s very grisly, but it has to be done.”
