Concrete Cooling Market - Highly advanced outlook 2025 | Fujian Snowman Co., Ltd.
Concrete cooling systems are gaining popularity in countries having warm climatic conditions. They are majorly used in projects involving substantial amounts of concrete. They help to cure the concrete and enhance its strength. Improving economic conditions in emerging countries, including China, India, and Indonesia, is fuelling the demand for concrete cooling systems due to rapid infrastructure development. As the construction industry continues to post robust growth in these countries, the demand for these systems is likely to remain strong in the near future as well.

Besides this, the increasing planning and construction of new dams are providing a significant boost to the growth of the global concrete cooling market. The large force exerted by the massive amounts of water stored in the dam compels the need for treatment and testing of walls, which in turn escalates the demand for concrete cooling systems. However, the market is anticipated to witness moderate to low growth in developed countries of North America and Europe, owing to cold climatic conditions. Moreover, the lack of expertise in concrete cooling may result in improper curing, which can potentially lead to cracking. This is also acting as a stumbling block for the global market.
On the other hand, technological innovations are likely to shape the future of the market. The usage of liquid nitrogen, which is a widely used cooling agent, for cooling fresh concrete is an emerging trend and is poised to stay in the market for the years to come.

Chery wants to re-examine it’s deal with Chrysler to develop Chrysler-branded small cars for numerous markets, said Zhang Li, Chery Automobile Co Ltd’s general manager. The project has been halted for the moment and awaits renegotiation of the agreement.
This is because Chrysler has recently changed hands, now belonging to private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management LP thanks to last week’s US$7.45 billion deal. Chrysler spokesperson Mary Gauthier said Chrysler’s global growth plans remains the same, and the new owners Cerberus has not changed any of those goals.
I suppose Chery just wants to play it safe and make sure Cerberus is fully aware of all details of the plan.

Discussion in 'Vehicles' started by Pauli Partanen, Jan 8, 2017.
If somebody would fix the steering wheel would be great!
PM if you have time!
Got plenty of time, it's just the know-how that's missing.
Realigning the origin point doesn't sound too complicated though. If it's something that can be done with Blender or something, I guess I could chip away at it on my free time.
Edit: As it happens, it isn't as simple as I'd hoped. Still, 19 more days of 3DSimEd remaining, will have to experiment.
Edit2: I can get it pretty close, but not perfect and I don't have the experience to know why. The steering column poking through the wheel is something that just kinda happened without explanation. Also unsure why there's a BT44SW_OUT.gmt and SW_OUT.gmt. They seem to be the same thing.
Well thank you for having a crack , you have it a lot better than the way it has been
Pm me with your progress and I will release it as steam update when you are finished.
Sent through link in Steam since it was conveniently there.
Brabham was the first car on the list so it took a while to realize it's the odd one out. The rest took a few hours to get sorted. Still a bit wonky; some wheels rotate roughly from where it looks to be connected to the steering column, some from the actual geometric centre of the wheel. You'd think those would be the same thing, which is why I opted for the latter most of the time.
Couldn't do anything about how wonky most cars' steering wheels look in external views, but as far as I can tell that's how it's always been and so far nobody's looked close enough to notice.
Edit: Since there's going to be an update, might as well mention that the Embassy Hill cars still have very non-DX11 wings on them.
I wonder what all the people saying wonderfull things with mclaren m23 from s397 thinks about the m23 of this mod
Personally, and with little playing time with both but almost nothing with the new one, i found this one here better
Tell me more about these realistic psychics
Well, i think....
Hello ChiefWiggum and Postipate,
This mod is giving this error message after the new build update:
I'm getting the same error too.
Same error too.
Same error here too. If you press enter on these errors it eventually loads up, but the Lotus cars are not there. If you look in the garage you only see the front wheels, no front wing or cockpit.
same error too
yeah, the slides in this mod are great
it`s still the problem with the steering wheel?
Chief, yes the steering wheel still looks like a joystick
....and still this for me - Lotus
what car is this?
Separate names with a comma.

Up to 1 in 6 people over 40 years have an overactive bladder (OAB). Although most cases can be cured or significantly improved with treatment most sufferers do not seek help.
An overactive (or unstable) bladder contracts uncontrollably at the wrong time. This may cause very frequent urination (frequency) or a sudden urge to pass urine (urgency). This can lead to leakage (urge incontinence) if a toilet is not handy.
Sufferers may avoid activities such as going to the movies, or shop only at certain stores where they know the location of toilets.
OAB is more common and severe in women and with advancing age, causing loss of control.
How is OAB treated?
Bladder retraining is usually tried first and is successful in a majority of cases. This begins with keeping a diary of your fluid intake and toilet visits to identify your current habits. Then you try to delay passing urine when the urge occurs, gradually increasing the time between bladder emptying. This technique trains the bladder to hold on for longer.
Medication to relax the bladder can also be very effective, especially when combined with bladder training. Clinical trials have shown that it reduces frequency, urgency and urge incontinence in most cases.
Side-effects vary with the drug used and include dry mouth, constipation, blurred vision and headache. These symptoms may be mild and lessen over time.
Surgery can be used for rare cases which do not respond to these treatments.
Your bladder problems are important and can be treated. Please speak to your doctor. You can also ring the free National Continence Helpline on 1800 33 00 66 or visit http://www.contfound.org.au/.
Please note this information was correct at time of printing.
For up to date information, speak to your doctor.

Be careful not to drop it! Apple Disables Screen Repair on iPhone 13
As Apple bolded the new iPhone 13 phones because of the larger batteries, they also reduced the notch with FaceID technology to unlock the iPhone.
Photo Credits: business insider
As Apple bolded the new iPhone 13 phones because of the larger batteries, they also reduced the notch with FaceID technology to unlock the iPhone. Well, the new iPhone 13 series hides another Apple trick under the hood, and it's such that you can't service the screen without keeping the FaceID unlock on your face. Here's how they did it…
So far, changing the screen on iPhones in unauthorized services (because those authorized charged much more) has resulted in you losing the TrueTone feature. Also, you couldn’t change the front cameras or FaceID sensors to keep the face unlock. Those two things were like that, but they were unrelated. Now, you can't replace the screen, let alone the FaceID sensors for the other to continue to work properly.
The problem is that the FaceID chip is placed on the flex cable for the screen, and only Apple authorized service providers have the tool and the ability to reprogram and replace only the screen, or only FaceID sensors and users are not left without unlocking options or TrueTone.
Of course, this means that unauthorized repairers get another very complicated part to service, and even they can’t guarantee that the iPhone will keep FaceID after the screen changes. Even those unauthorized services that know how to change the screen without keeping FaceID have to charge significantly more because the process is incredibly delicate.
Of course, Apple has the right to ban unauthorized servicing, but users will pay significantly more for the service of anything on their iPhones and will have no choice when servicing. Now they locked the batteries, rear cameras, front cameras and FaceID and the screen, and by connecting the last two items, they made repair even more difficult.

Patchwork Quilt Salutes Fallen U.S. Military Women
(September 22, 2008)

patchwork quilt at the Women in Military Service for

military women who've died during the global war on
Defense Dept. photo by Gerry J. Gilmore
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18, 2008
A red, white and blue patchwork
quilt commemorating the 113 U.S. military women who've died during the global
war on terrorism was unveiled for public view at the Women in Military Service
for America Memorial today.
The hand-sewn quilt
features a stars-and-stripes motif that displays the names of the fallen within
the stripes. It was crafted by 10 women from several small communities in the
Pacific Northwest, with additional support provided by another 16 women, also
from Oregon or the state of Washington.
Fourteen of these women traveled to Arlington National
Cemetery to attend the unveiling ceremony held inside the women's memorial. The
quilt will be displayed inside the memorial until January or so, when it will be
taken for display at U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals.
Retired Army Staff Sgt. Donna J. Birtwistle, a former military
nurse from Moro, Ore., said she began thinking of making the quilt this spring
after attending a military veterans group meeting. Then, she said, her community
was saddened by the loss of Army Cpl. Jessica A. Ellis, who died in Iraq on May
11. Ellis was from Bend, Ore., about 135 miles south of Moro.
Birtwistle, who sews, found a sponsor to provide the quilted material and
solicited volunteers from across the area to cut and sew the cloth. Work began
June 10 and the quilt was completed about a month later. Birtwistle eventually
contacted the women's memorial to see if the quilt could be displayed there.
The colorful quilt “is all hand-made,” Birtwistle said proudly. It's important
to honor military women who've fallen in conflict, she said, because they, too,
serve in harm's way alongside their male counterparts.
“They are just as tough and just as hardy as the men are,” Birtwistle said of
Mary Anne Macnab from Wasco, Ore., said the quilt also was created to comfort
grieving families and “to honor these women who've made the ultimate sacrifice.”
Other women involved in the quilting project who attended the ceremony included
Mary Lou Massie and Marlene Wallace of Wasco; Sharon Simantel, Mavis Olsen,
Sheila Weber and Marylea Sanders of Moro; Elizabeth Hazel, Camille Hurd and
Linda Simkus of Goldendale, Wash.; Penny Eakin of Grass Valley, Ore.; and Julie
Cordahl of Cle Elum, Wash.
Retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Wilma L. Vaught, president of the Women's Memorial
Foundation, thanked the women for the quilt and for their efforts on behalf of
“We are just grateful that your towns had the foresight to let all of you come
who have worked on this quilt, so that you could be here and see it go on
display here,” Vaught told the women.
Vaught then introduced Army Brig. Gen. Loree K. Sutton, a long-time supporter of
the women's memorial. Sutton is the director of the Defense Center of Excellence
for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury.
Sutton saluted the quilters' efforts to honor fallen military women.
“Let us renew our dedication to making their sacrifices count,” Sutton said. “We
shall always remember.”

Words are powerful. Words can strengthen or destroy relationships, they can win or lose business deals, they can bring families together or tear them apart, and they can trigger emotions ranging from euphoria to despair. According to the Global Language Monitor, there are currently 1,025,109 words in the English language alone and more are created every day.
Of all the words available to us, there are two that have the power to change your relationships, your perspective, and your life. These words can be said in every known language, creating a shared meaning that very few words can accomplish. What are they and why are they so important?
The two words that can change your life are: THANK YOU.
We say “thank you” for lots of things. Someone holding the door, or letting us move over a lane in traffic, someone filling up our coffee, or picking up something we’ve dropped. And in those cases, the casual way we let it roll of our tongue will suffice. But when someone does something for you, something meaningful, do you stop and really give thanks and appreciation?
We all want to feel appreciated and valued, and when someone takes the time to sincerely say “thank you”, it does just that.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve never gone home at the end of the
day and complained that too many people appreciated me.
Be purposeful about saying thank you and taking the time to feel grateful for your life and all of the things others do for you. And if ever there were a time to start being purposeful about saying “thank you”, this is it! Celebrate Thanksgiving by being thankful about your health (even if it’s not perfect), your family (even if they’re a little wacky), your friends, kids, pets, plants, etc. When we focus on what we are thankful for, we tend to find more of it. And when we thank others, they want to repeat the things we are thanking them for because they feel appreciated.
So, THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart, to each and every one of you for being a part of my life. You make this journey incredible. Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!

I don’t remember how I stumbled onto this book but I am overjoyed that I did. It is truly a magical tale of beauty and love, of the invisible world of spirit set in a time and place best known to lovers of fairytales and myths. It is a modern fable, a way of understanding who we are now and how our search for identity affects our perceptions and actions. Ben Okri’s imaginative prose takes you on a magic carpet ride unlike anything you’ve previously experienced.
Opening paragraph ~
It is better to be invisible. His life was better when he was invisible, but he didn’t know it at the time.

He stood in the utter darkness of light, at the threshold, under the arch, in deep silence, when he heard again the question he hadn’t answered three times before. But this time the question had changed and the voice asking it was angelic.
“What is the purpose of invisibility?”
Again silence weighed down his mind. But as he stood there, trembling in his inability, he felt the presence of his third guide and, without thinking, replied:
The lights became brighter, dissolving him in their deeper darkness. And the voice, more urgent, more seraphic, said:
“What is the dream of the invisibles?”
The silence that swelled in his mind made him soar into the edges of the light, flailing in the air. He was helpless and stricken with terror. But before he started to scream, the spirit of his second guide came to him and, with his heart beating faster under the mystery of his own clarity, he cried:
“To create the first universal civilisation of justice and love.”
After a brief silence, he heard strains of music. Then he saw, briefly, a faun playing on a flute. It played notes of such heartbreaking beauty that he started to weep. Then the music ceased, and the vision disappeared. The light and the darkness were now one.
And the voice, quieter now, almost inaudible, as if a deity was speaking with the register of the wind in the tall grass, said:
“What is the mystery of the bridge?”
Lost in the perfect equality of darkness and light, of silence and sound, he wandered in the cool spaces of the question. Not afraid anymore, but brimming with joy, he felt the presence of his first guide. And, with a smiling voice, he replied:
“Creativity, and grace.”
At that moment he was overcome with light, flooded with a supernal intelligence. He could feel the appreciation of the Invisibles. He could feel the warm brilliance of their smiles. It was like a faint golden mist in the hall, a fragrance of sunlight.
He became a child.
Some books kill, such as Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf”. And some other books save lives. Ben Okri’s “Astonishing the Gods” saved my life. A simple story : I had left home and wife during the night, before a special dinner she had prepared. I felt so depressed and ashamed, having lost my job, being into a conflict with colleagues and mainly with myself, disappointed, feeling the emptiness and failure of my private and professional life. I drove for more than a hundred kilometers across the country until I reached the big city. Winter time. Snow falling in the nearly empty streets around midnight. I stopped the car and walked, only listening to the noise of my feet on the snowy pavement. I wanted to vanish from this earth I felt I couldn’t fit in. I don’t know why, close to a train station, a bookshop still had its lights on, the only ones left on this street, as it seemed. I wondered : why was it still open at the time of the night ? The man inside was apparently putting things in order and cleaning. I opened the door, making the bell rang and asked “May I just have a look ? It’s so cold outside.” He made a vague gesture towards the shelves, allowing me to enter in spite of my snowy urban shoes. I was dressed up for the evening meal when I decided to leave the flat, just like that. My wife was in the kitchen and didn’t hear me leave. She heard the sound of the engine and there it was : I was away once for all. In that small bookshop, there were mainly books for children, fairy tales and paperbacks, they also had an English sector. I don’t know why I picked up one white book, maybe the title. The author was perfectly unknown to me. It was “Astonishing the Gods” by a certain Ben Okri. The bookshop was eventually closing, I paid the book and went outside. By now everything was dark, except a few street lights. I found a bank I could seat on, washed away the snow from it and started reading my book. And some magic happened because after the first lines I couldn’t stop my reading. I read the whole book during this night. I didn’t feel the cold any more, my ideas of suicide in that unknown city had been forgotten. As dawn was coming, I found a phone box and called home, where my wife had been waiting in distress, even calling the police. But policemen don’t look for a missing adult on a 23rd of December (“Nothing to worry about, he’ll be back soon. He’ll probably get drunk somewhere with friends and have some difficulties finding his way home…”) She answered the phone : “Where are you ? Please don’t move ! Leave the car. I’ll come and fetch you.” She did. The rest is a story of tenderness, compassion, and love. Yes, Ben Okri’s book saved my life this night, in the middle of an unknown town, as I was waiting to die of despair and shame, unable to see the love and beauty around me. This happened quite a number of years ago. The book is still there, on the shelf in front of my desk, as if to remind me of the worth of life and love. I just have to raise my head and there it is, with the white cover and the title that attracted me that remote day, like a light in my darkness.

Paint Branch High School’s theatre club, Perspectives, proved that they are able to tackle all things acting in their performance of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, a 17th-century romantic comedy.
The story centers on twin characters, Viola (played by Natasha Dao) and Sebastian (Michelle Gutierrez), who are separated in a shipwreck. After the shipwreck, Viola disguises herself as a man and is renamed Cesario. “He” is then given a task from the Duke of Illyria, Orsino, to persuade Olivia (Lauren Gantman) to fall in love with Orsino. Olivia’s companions encourage her to fall in love in the hope that it will distract her from mourning her brother and father. The plot comes alive when Olivia falls in love with Cesario instead.
Like any Shakespeare play, Twelfth Night was difficult for audiences to follow because of its sophisticated language. A simple statement such as “I am tired” translates to “I am not restful” in Shakespeare. Students spend an entire class period deciphering two paragraphs of Shakespeare, so one can imagine a student audience – and many adults as well – trying to decode a Shakespeare play in real-time. Quite a challenge! Although many had only a vague grasp of what the characters were discussing on stage, the actors compensated by intentionally being overdramatic with hand motions and voice inflections. It would be wrong to not publically applaud characters such as Clown/Feste (Mary Shawhan), Toby (Annie Petersen), Maria (Mackenzie Ezegbunham), and Andrew Aguecheek (Jonathen Lopez) for their incredibly engaging and lively performances. Members of Perspectives truly brought their characters to life.
When asked about her experience working with such an advanced play, Mary Shawhan exclaimed that “one of the challenges was that [they] weren’t able to rely on the words to get [their] message across,” instead actors have to “work through inflections and movements.”
Shawhan asserts that performing Twelfth Night “was a challenge but a really good exercise in being silly and expressive on stage.”
Mr. Bergmann, who took over the directors role from the esteemed Ms. Perkins for the fall production, expresses that he was aware of the tribulations of performing and watching Shakespeare, but his intention was to offer a play that would “appeal to students as well as challenge them.” Prior to working with Perspectives, Mr. Bergmann had been the director of Parkland Middle School’s productions for 15 years and has worked extensively in community theater for 20+ years. In his “Director’s Note” located in the playbill for Twelfth Night, he exclaimed that when Ms. Perkins approached him and asked if he would like to be head director during her break, he immediately said, “Yes!” He thought directing a high school production would be “easier” than directing a middle school one because of the larger range of shows that high school theatre has available to them.
Paint Branch is excited to see Mr. Bergmann’s directing skills with a musical as he continues to handle the job when Perspectives hits the stage again in the upcoming spring production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid!

Experience the “The Great Works of the Ancient Hopewell Culture” with the Arc of Appalachia Reserve System on Saturday, July 30th, 2011.
The Arc is sponsoring two back-to-back events at the Fort Hill and Serpent Mound sites: Morning Trip: Fort Hill Earthworks Tour — Ridgetop Enclosure and Rarely-Seen Circular earthworks Presented by Hopewell Culture National Historical Park Meet at 8:45 am, Trek begins at 9:00 am sharp and will last approximately 4 hours. Meet at the main Fort Hill Parking Lot. Park Ranger Bruce Lombardo from Hopewell Culture National Historical park will lead a tour through the mature forests of Fort Hill to ancient Native American earthworks. Destinations include viewing the ceremonial ridgetop walled-enclosure built by Native Americans 2000 years ago and the seldom-seen, completely intact circular earthworks located at the south end of the park. The tour will cover 4 miles of trail at an often steady pace, including some ascents and descents on often uneven trails. Hikers should be in good condition. To make the Serpent Mound program in the afternoon, you may need to break away from the guided hike a bit earlier than the rest of the folks and hike back to the parking lot on your own. Pack water and snacks. The hike goes on rain or shine. Be sure to see Fort Hill’s Museum while you are there – it’s open on weekends from 10 – 5. No registration or fee necessary. However, please RSVP with the number in your party to [email protected]. Rain or shine!
Afternoon Program at Serpent Mound: The Great Hopewell Road: Ohio’s Ancient Superhighway Special presentation by Brad Lepper of the Ohio Historical Society 1:00pm at Serpent Mound’s Picnic Shelter Archaeological research has uncovered evidence of long parallel earthen walls constructed around 2,000 years ago in southern Ohio. The walls appear to have origniated at the monumental NewarkEarthworks and ran southwest in a remarkably straight line. The road’s destination is a mystery and up to wonderful speculation. Perhaps it served as a route of pilgrimage — connecting the two grandest centers of the Hopewell world: the Newark Earthworks and the many Hopewell mounds and enclosures near Chillicothe that lay more than sixty miles away. Explore the evidence with OHS Curator of Archaeology Brad Lepper. The program is free, other than the usual $7/car parking fee at Serpent Mound. Please RSVP with the number in your party to [email protected]. Rain or shine! Both programs are free of charge – other than a $7/car parking fee at Serpent Mound.

Mississippi State’s middle linebacker Benardrick McKinney was named to the Bronko Nagurski Trophy watch list. This award is presented by the Charlotte Touchdown Club to the nation’s outstanding defensive player as selected by the Football Writers of America. Since all defensive positions are eligible there are 81 stars on the initial watch list. Five finalists will be named on November 20, all taken from the FWAA’s 26-man All-America team, with the trophy presented December 8.
McKinney is no stranger to watch-lists of course. Earlier in the week he was placed on the Chuck Bednarik Award radar, also presented to the player voted the nation’s leading defender from all positions. It is the second time junior McKinney has been targeted by the Bednarik, having made their 2013 watch list as just a sophomore and relatively new starter at middle linebacker.
He was also named to the Dick Butkus Award watch list last summer, which goes to the best linebacker in the land. The 2014 Butkus watch list is due out next Monday and McKinney is sure to be included after a team-best 71 tackles last season. In fact the larger challenge for McKinney in July won’t be making national lists; it will be getting just recognition among the SEC’s leading linebackers! So MSU fans will be watching next week’s SEC Media Days meeting when the press corps names their pre-season all-conference teams. He can even make his case directly if McKinney wishes since he will be one of the three Bulldogs representing State in Hoover next Tuesday morning.
There are 78 initial nominees for the Bednarik Award. Semifinalists are to be announced November 3; semifinalists on November 24; and the winner named December 11.
Mississippi State has another pair of repeat nominees for the major national awards. Center Dillon Day has been tabbed for a third year by the Rimington Trophy which goes to the top hiker in the country. The Rimington winner comes from a final list made up of All-American centers as named by the Walter Camp Foundation, the Sporting News, and the FWAA which are all announced earlier. A total of 64 centers are on this July listing.
Day, a senior, has started 33-straight games at center and is a leading candidate for preseason All-SEC center when the Media Days voting is tallied. So is the teammate he will snap the ball to on opening day. QB Dak Prescott is one of the top returning triggermen in the league for 2014 and is getting national notice now with nomination to the Maxwell Award. This one goes to the player regarded as best overall in college football, though it is biased entirely towards offensive players who run, thrown, and catch.
Prescott of course can do all three. Even without being a full-time starter last season and missing two games with injury he set the Mississippi State rushing record for a quarterback (829 yards) while passing for 1,940 yards and ten touchdowns…and catching two touchdown passes as well. There are 76 on the Maxwell watch list but few have Prescott’s resume, which will only grow faster now that he is the full-time Bulldog quarterback.
Like the Bednarik Award, the Maxwell winner will be presented December 11 at Walt Disney World with ‘cuts’ in the team made on November 3 and 24 to get the three finalists. Both lists are organized by the Maxwell Football Club of Philadelphia.
The teammate who tossed those touchdowns to Prescott is up for his own all-purpose award this year. WR Jameon Lewis makes his first watch list at State as a nominee for the Paul Hornung Award, given to the nation’s most versatile player. Lewis is exactly that having caught 64 passes for 923 yards and five scores last season; rushed for three more touchdowns and of course thrown three TDs total. For good measure Lewis returns punts and kickoffs.
There are 47 college standouts on the initial listing. This award is a little different in that football fans have a say in who receives it, with fan voting beginning in September. Information is available at www.paulhornungaward.com. The winner is named in late January in Louisville.
The other repeat-nominee on this Bulldog roster is TE Malcolm Johnson, making another appearance on the John Mackey Award which goes to the highest-regarded tight end. Johnson’s 2013 nomination came despite limited playing time due to injuries in 2012; playing all last season he caught 30 balls for 391 yards and two touchdowns and more is in store for his senior season. This winner is also presented on December 11 in Orlando as part of the College Football Awards Red Carpet Show.
Bulldog fans can expect more watch-list news in the coming days with further awards/trophy nominees to be announced. The Outland Trophy team was due out Thursday, and the Jim Thorpe Award (won in 2012 by Johnthan Banks) on Friday. Next Monday, it will be the Butkus and the Lombardi Award watch-lists released; the Biletnikoff Award on Tuesday, the Davey O’Brien Award on Wednesday; the Doak Walker on Thursday, and finally the Walter Camp Award on July 18.
Prescott is a good bet to read his name on some more of these watch-lists, as well as in next week’s SEC Media Days voting as he too will be representing State at the annual league press-fest. He and McKinney are joined by safety Jay Hughes and Coach Dan Mullen.
And the pace doesn’t slow for Prescott this pre-season as he attends the Manning Passing Academy with 41 other college quarterbacks. Five of them are SEC triggermen. The three-day event is at Nicholls State University in Thibodaux. There Prescott will not only be working on his own skills but lending some expertise as a ‘coach’ in the camp.
Meanwhile a bunch of Bulldogs who aren’t up for any honors quite yet are getting up to college speed in advance of preseason. Two more members of the 2014 signing class were able to enroll and begin courses ahead of the second summer semester drop/add deadline. Junior college DL Will Coleman and high school WR Jamoral Graham are the newest pups on campus.
They join the other members of the February signing class who were cleared in time for the first semester, which ended last week. They were: S Brandon Bryant, OL Deion Calhoun, K Logan Cooke, S J.T. Gray, LB Gerri Green, DL Grant Harris, DT Braxton Hoyett, TE Darrion Hutcherson, WR Jesse Jackson, OL Elgton Jenkins, RB Dontavian Lee, CB Chris Rayford, QB Elijah Stayley, DT Cory Thomas, and RB Aeris Williams.
Finals for this semester are August 6-7, which will make things interesting or more likely intense for everyone whether new or old students. Because that is a week after preseason practice open at Mississippi State. In fact, the January enrollees QB Nick Fitzgerald and OL Jocquell Johnson will have gone through three rounds of final exams before ever pulling on a varsity jersey!
This leaves four February signees with uncertain, officially at least, status for 2014. State is listing all of them on the latest July roster so the standing of OL Ronald Cochran, LB Deshon Cooper, DB Lashard Durr, and OL Jordan Harris is not absolutely settled. However it is popularly understood Durr and Harris will go the junior college route and Cochran will attend a prep school. That is not at all official though. Cooper is reportedly close to being cleared for the fall semester and thus for pre-season practices.
With the 2014 season kicking off on August 30, players will ‘report’ for preseason on July 30…though all but a couple are already on campus anyway. The first practice is July 31. Mississippi State’s fall semester begins August 18.

Witch hazel is one of the most well-known skincare ingredients. If, like most of us, you’re not sure exactly what it is, here’s the scientific answer: “Witch hazel is extraction that is made from leaves, bark and twigs from the genus of Hamamelis virginiana, H. mexicana, H. ovalis. Eastern – H. japonica, H. mollis,” Tsao-Lin Moy, acupuncturist, Chinese medicine expert, and founder of Integrative Healing Arts, explains to The List. “It is an astringent with high tannin concentration and affinity for treating skin inflammations.”
And while witch hazel is commonly used topically, would you see any benefits from drinking it? “Some ‘folk medicine’ uses for witch hazel seem to indicate preparations by making teas and poultices from the leaves and twigs,” says Moy. However, there’s no way it’s the same witch hazel you find on the shelves of your local drugstore today, which has most likely been distilled to ensure it is highly concentrated. In folk medicine, “the plant is less processed, and the delivery of medicinal properties would be different,” Moy adds.
Drinking witch hazel isn't the best idea
Ultimately, “there is no research on the good or bad of drinking witch hazel,” says Moy. “[But with] the tannin protein interaction with saliva and mucous membranes of the mouth and throat, you would experience a ‘puckering and drying’ in the throat, possibly feeling like the throat is closing,” she explains. “This would be similar to eating a peach that is not ripe.”
Witch hazel may also give you tummy troubles, similar to what you might experience if you’ve had too much coffee. Again, it’s the tannins, plant compounds found in both, that cause the upset stomach. But despite this discomfort, Moy notes that it’s unlikely drinking witch hazel will cause any real harm. However, with no real reason to drink it, you’re better off using witch hazel topically and letting it do what it does best. If you do decide that you want to try drinking it, speak to a medical professional first, as there may be an alternative that has more research behind it.

Disrupting the supportive effects of the multiple myeloma (MM) microenvironment is of major clinical significance since the interactions between MM cells and the microenvironment enhance tumor growth and bone destruction. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are considered a key player in the microenvironmental support of MM cell growth and bone destruction. The X-box-binding protein 1 (XBP1) signaling is the most ancient Unfolded Protein Response signaling branch. Recently, we found that XBP1s was strongly induced in BMSCs from MM patients'compared with normal donors'BMSCs. Further, SIRT1 and Resveratrol, a pharmacological activator of SIRT1 and a bioactive dietary component of red wine, strongly inhibited the transcriptional activity of XBP1s. Therefore, we propose that MM cells induce XBP1s signaling in BMSCs. XBP1s signaling plays an important role in regulating BMSCs'support of MM cell growth and osteoclast (OCL) differentiation in MM bone diseases. Further, Resveratrol represses XBP1s signaling in BMSCs and markedly reduces the capacity of BMSCs to support MM cell growth and osteoclastogenesis. To test these hypotheses, we will 1) determine if modulating XBP1s signaling in human BMSCs impacts hBMSCs'support of MM cell growth and osteoclast differentiation via both gain-of-function and loss-of-function strategies, 2) elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which XBP1s protein levels are induced in BMSCs in MM bone disease, and 3) determine if Resveratrol represses XBP1s signaling in BMSCs and compromises their support of MM growth and osteoclastogenesis both in vitro and in vivo. These studies will shed novel insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying the protective effects of BMSCs on MM cells and reveal the novel molecular target(s) that Resveratrol may acts upon to achieve its anti-tumor effects.
The primary goals of this research proposal are to determine 1) if XBP1s signaling plays a critical role in regulating the capacity of bone marrow stromal cells to support MM cell growth and osteoclastogenesis, and 2) if Resveratrol, an activator of SIRT1 and a bioactive dietary component of red wine, represses XBP1s signaling in BMSCs and compromises their support of MM growth and osteoclastogenesis. These studies will provide important information to develop nutritional and pharmacological strategies involving Resveratrol to reduce MM in humans.

The City Form Lab hosted an event at SUTD December 10, 2014 to share experiences and lessons learned from the phase one implementation of the City Planning Lab initiative. Three presentations were followed by a panel discussion.
Speaker 1: Lisa Sweeney, senior research scientist at the SUTD City Form Lab. "Indonesia City Planning Lab Initiative: what have we learned in the first year?"
Slides: Indonesia City Planning Lab Initiative: what have we learned in the first year?
The Indonesia City Planning Lab (CPL) initiative is envisioned as the driver of improved integrated and evidence-based spatial, development and investment planning, helping cities achieve sustainable and inclusive economic growth. This initiative is a part of the World Bank National Urban Development Program (P3N), engaging directly with local governments, targeting large and medium cities and metropolitan areas with populations over 500,000, through investments in transformative infrastructure and technical and institutional capacity. The focus of the CPL facilities is to build up technical and institutional capacity in city planning and regulatory agencies to produce reliable and up-to-date data about their cities, well-informed plans, effective public investments, and to support the enforcement of development regulations. CPL is envisioned as a permanent planning and urban analysis support facility within the municipal planning department. By acting as a single ‘nerve center’ or focal point for analytical work across a range of sectors such as spatial growth, land use, land markets, slums, and economic competitiveness, the CPL will help to habituate city leaders to thinking about urban management in an integrated, holistic way, allowing them to meet a range of needs through select but strategic interventions.Speaker 2: Emily Royall, Researcher at SUTD City Form Lab. "Participatory Planning Workshops in Rapidly Developing Urban Contexts: Denpasar, A Case Study".
Slides: Participatory Planning Workshops in Rapidly Developing Urban Contexts: Denpasar, A Case Study
As part of the CPL initiative, SUTD in partnership with the World Bank held a participatory workshop focused on helping local municipal officials to envision the role of data and analytics in addressing slum settlement housing concerns in Denpasar, Indonesia. Similar intensive three-day participatory engagements around focused urban planning topics have also been held in other CPL cities. This presentation highlights the challenges and opportunities for introducing and integrating data-driven tools and technologies to leadership communities in rapidly developing urban environments. Speaker 3: Onur Ekmekci, researcher at the SUTD City Form Lab. "Transit Oriented Development and Pedestrian Oriented Design for the Surabaya Tram Corridor".
Slides: Transit Oriented Development and Pedestrian Oriented Design for the Surabaya Tram Corridor
The city government of Surabaya is planning to build a first mass rapid transit tram line through its downtown. Over the past year, the SUTD City Form Lab, in partnership with the World Bank, the City Government of Surabaya and Hansen Partnership, has been developing a transit-oriented development and pedestrian-oriented design strategy for the built environment surrounding this important MRT corridor. This presentation describes what has been done to date and discusses the challenges and opportunities of transit oriented urban design and development in Surabaya today.


The Williams F1 team announcements have continued to pour in thick and fast, with the most recent confirmation of some new faces in their engineering department.
Rob Smedley joins the team fresh from Ferrari, to take up the newly created Head of Vehicle Performance position, which will involve him working both at the track and at the factory to improve the car setup and functions throughout the season.
The team also confirmed Felipe Massa’s race engineer will be Andrew Murdoch, as Jonathan Eddolls continues with Valtteri Bottas. Smedley, of course, rose to fame as Massa’s race engineer at Ferrari, the pair developing a hugely successful and close relationship, to the point they were sometimes described as a married couple. With Massa moving to Williams, it had been anticipated Smedley would follow but the new position is a promotion for the former race engineer.
Meanwhile, the team also confirmed Suzie Wolff will continue for another year as development driver, and will get two Friday practice opportunities during the 2014 season.

You Ask, We Answer: How Do I Start My Vegetable Garden Indoors?
Why should I start my vegetable garden indoors?
Growing seeds indoors doesn’t just come down to aesthetics, however. Some of our most-loved veggies like tomatoes and peppers actually have longer “lead times”—meaning because they’re native to warmer climates, they don’t so well in our cool Connecticut soil in spring. Planting them indoors allows them to begin growing and thriving before being transferred to the warmer soil come summer in Connecticut—and that means you’ll be able to enjoy these veggies in your summer salads!
One more reason to start your vegetable garden indoors? More veggies, and earlier picking. Indoor seeds allow your veggies to get a “head start,” and that can lead to more of them ripened and ready for picking earlier.
What will I need to start my vegetable seeds?
First, think small. While it’s exciting to think about feeding your loved ones straight from your yard, Burpee Seed Company recommends “no more than a couple dozen plants in three or four varieties. It’s not complicated or difficult once you understand the process, but it’s best to start small so you don’t get overwhelmed at first.”
Once you’ve chosen your plants, choose your seed-starting soil mix. It should be light and fluffy to allow seedlings to poke through, and designed to hold enough moisture to foster growth without holding on to too much moisture that can cause your plants to rot. Look for soil mixes specifically designed for growing seedlings.
Next, choose your growing containers. If you have plastic pots with drainage holes that you’d like to reuse, those will work; a reusable seed starting kit is also a great option, as are biodegradable containers that will break down over time right in the soil.
Lastly, consider heat mats for your growing your seeds. These mats are made for helping to usher seeds into healthy plants, warming the soil gently and evenly to about 10 degrees warmer than the room temperature—perfect for germination.
Planting your vegetable seeds
Moisten your soil before planting your seeds. You’ll want to keep soil moist but not wet, which can cause rot. Plant your seeds according to the directions on the packets, then check on them daily to monitor their growth, soil moisture and adjust light as needed. If you’re growing your seeds in sunlight, rotate the containers daily so they don’t grow in one single direction. If using a grow lamp, you’ll want to monitor the height of your seedlings and adjust the light to 3-4” above the plants.
Once your seedlings start to really grow, Burpee recommends you “harden off” them off. “Introduce your plants to the sun gradually, a process called ‘hardening off’. Expose them to sunlight for one hour more each day for a week. During this time bring them to a protected location outside when they are not in the sunlight. If there will be a frost at night, bring them inside. After a week or so, they will have acclimated to the outdoors and will be ready to transplant into your garden!”
And last but not least, don’t rush planting your seedlings! Connecticut spring may mean late snow storms or frosts, so wait until the soil is warming up for the best growing conditions before transplanting your seedlings into your garden.

Literally the last thing on earth that I’d ever consider myself to be is a food blogger. I can blog, I can read food blogs and sometimes even follow a super simple recipe….but that’s definitely about all I have in my cooking arsenal. Pinterest has actually been the thing that’s moved the needle towards me being almost capable of mostly being able to prepare dinners for my family several nights a week. This may not sound amazing, but coming from a person who used to eat about three foods as a kid then grew into a person who knew how to cook about three things, one being spaghetti with jar sauce, who has now become someone who actually goes through recipes to plan meals for the week and sometimes even purchases the ingredients and COOKS THE MEALS is nothing short of miraculous. In my mind, at least. God knows what we’d be eating if it weren’t for the ADHD cook’s dynamic duo: Pinterest and Strattera.
Last week I actually went one step further…or maybe it was actually one step fewer….and decided to just hurt the recipe for fish tacos that I’d ferreted out on Pinterest and do one better: create my own version. With my new recipe made and enjoyed by almost every member of my family (ok, two out of four isn’t bad, right?) it occurred to me maybe I should do the unthinkable: blog it.
So naturally I needed to research digital tools to help add recipes to a blog and/or Pinterest. Who knew there were this many nerd tools for recipe sharers? The two that looked the coolest to me were WordPress GetMeCooking recipe template plugin (which I used to create this recipe) and PicMonkey recipe cards (which I haven’t had time to try yet, but which I think could be used to make an awesome pinnable image for recipes).
Anyway, without further ado, here’s how you make Crazy Easy Fish Tacos.
Crazy Easy Fish Tacos
|Prep time||30 minutes|
|Cook time||10 minutes|
|Total time||40 minutes|
- 1 Packet Taco seasoning (I used probably 1/4 of the packet; use to taste)
- 1 Bag Classic Coleslaw mix (Just the mix, available in produce section--no dressing)
- 1 8 oz container Prepared mango salsa (I used Giant house brand)
- 1 Teaspoon Salt or crazy mixed up salt (To taste)
- 1 Package Tilipia fillets (I used 4 servings)
- 1 or 2 Tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Package Soft flour tortillas
|In a large skillet, heat a few tablespoons of olive oil over high heat.|
|Remove Tilipia (or you could substitute another white fish) from package.|
|Season both sides of each piece of fish with a little salt.|
|Coat both sides of each piece of fish with taco seasoning. Doesn't have to be a thick crust or anything, just sprinkle it on or, if you prefer, dump onto a plate then dredge fish through seasoning.|
|Put seasoned fish fillets into heated, oiled skillet. Watch for spatters!|
|Cook on one side for about 3 minutes or until opaque.|
|Flip each fillet over and cook on other side for about 3 minutes, or until completely cooked.|
|Place either whole serving of fish in tortilla, or break up fish into smaller pieces and place in tortilla--your choice.|
|Add coleslaw mix (without dressing) to taste.|
|Add mango salsa to taste.|
|Roll it up and eat it! Optional other toppings could include hot sauces, sour cream, cheese....or whatever you like.|

Oak Ridge buys new police vehicles, firefighter equipment
The Oak Ridge City Council approved the purchase of five new equipped police vehicles.
Two of the five new vehicles will replace some old ones, bringing the Oak Ridge Police Department's fleet up to 78.
The council also approved the purchase of 42 cylinders of compressed, filtered air used by Oak Ridge Fire Department firefighters during emergency situations.
The city will pay an estimated $351,307 for both purchases, but expects to recoup the costs of the air cylinders.
Councilmember Ellen Smith asked for the purchases to be pulled from the consent agenda during last Tuesday's Council meeting so there would be discussion and residents could learn about the city's investment into police and fire protection, as well as the safety of the employees who provide that protection.
The police department will purchase and equip three Ford F-150 Responders and two Ford Police Interceptor Utility Explorers at a cost of approximately $305,377, according to a memo to City Manager Mark Watson from Police Sgt. Matt Johnston. Two of the F-150s will be assigned to the department's patrol division and the third to the criminal investigation division.
The two Explorers will be divided between the patrol and support services' divisions of the police department.
Under state contract pricing, the base cost of the vehicles is $202,138, with $103,239 for equipping the vehicles with emergency equipment such as lights, radios, cameras and laptops. Some equipment will also be reused from the department vehicles being replaced.
The police department has 57 officers, including Police Chief Robin Smith, according to Lauren Gray, the city's senior communications specialist. The city budget for this fiscal year, she said, includes money to employ 64.
Minimum staffing for each patrol shift is five officers and one supervisor, although the number working during a shift could be higher. Gray said in an email that the actual numbers on patrol aren't listed publicly for security purposes.
The city is purchasing 30 cylinders of compressed, filtered air for self-contained breathing apparatuses (SCBAs) for the fire department at a price of $38,190, which is $60 cheaper than the price quoted during last Tuesday's city council meeting, according to Gray. The Fire Department has purchased a dozen 10-minute SCBA packs, which includes the cylinders of compressed air, for $7,740. The total cost of these purchases for the fire department is $45,930.
"These are just escape packs for backup during confined space rescues if the rescuer lost supplied air," Gray stated. The 30 spare cylinders would be used for the usual emergency response by firefighters, excluding emergency medical services (EMS). The city plans to buy 30 more next year.
The cylinders are replacements. According to a memo from Fire Chief Travis Solomon to the city manager, the Fire Department's spare SCBA cylinders are at or near their maximum service life of 15 years, as regulated by the manufacturer, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and Department of Transportation. More cylinders will reach their service life next year.
"These cylinders are vital to firefighter safety and are used in SCBAs to protect a firefighter's respiratory system during hazardous operations," Solomon stated in the memo.
The money for the cylinders is being taken out of the city's replacement fund, but the city has sent a request to the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to recover the costs under a cooperative agreement.

On May 12, tens of thousands of teachers, students, unionized workers, community groups, and other concerned New Yorkers converged on Wall Street to protest teacher layoffs and Mayor Bloomberg’s proposed budget cuts.
“This city is upside down,” said UFT President Michael Mulgrew to the huge crowd of UFT members, students and parents who gathered outside City Hall. “It’s not working for all of us and that’s why we are out here today. We want a city that works for everyone.”
The UFT protesters, who marched en masse to Wall Street after the City Hall rally, were united in their outrage at the Mayor’s insistence on teacher layoffs when the city has a $3.2 Billion budget surplus.
Down on Wall Street, the UFT marchers met up in the Water Street area with thousands of activists representing other sectors of the city economy, including transit workers, CUNY faculty and students, housing advocates, and AIDS and homeless advocates.
While the proposed teacher layoffs will not affect charter schools, charter teachers came out to show solidarity with their fellow union members. Teachers from Beginning with Children Charter School in Brooklyn came out to rally against the proposed layoffs.
As chapter leader Craig Garber observed: “There are incredible things happening all over the world right now. Regular people are taking to the streets and having their voices heard.
“We are teachers, we have busy lives, and work extra long hours so it is tough to always get involved,” said Garber, noting the importance of taking time out to fight the proposed layoffs. Joining fellow UFT members was important for him and his colleagues because “everyone is hurt when schools have their funding cut. Cuts in education, when looked at from the long view, may inhibit many students’ chances of attending college, participating in business, and can lead kids down a dark path.”
Arien O’Connell, a 6th grade special education teacher at Beginning with Children Charter School who also attended the rally, agreed: “I think that Mayor Bloomberg’s budget proposal is unfair. He is cutting the teaching force without budgetary necessity. This will especially hurt students in lower income neighborhoods and teachers who have recently come to the teaching profession. No good can come from this, and I’m proud of all of those who came out on May 12 to show the Mayor their disapproval.”

Netflix’s ‘Squid Game’ is undoubtedly on its way to breaking records of becoming one of the biggest shows in a short time on the platform. The show’s leading actor Lee Jung-jae recently shared how Hollywood has responded to his performance in the series.
In a recent interview with Variety, the actor who plays Seong Gi-hun in the Netflix hit revealed how Tinseltown has reacted to his performance in the show. For those thinking that the actor might have received endless calls from the big directors, the actor revealed that “No proposals or requests have come my way, but, if the right one came along, I’d be happy to be in overseas production. It could be fun.”
His character Seong Gi-hun in the series is a divorced dad with a severe gambling addiction and a tendency to be self-involved. He lives with his mother and struggles to support his daughter financially. He participates in the Game to settle his many debts.
His character has received immense love and overwhelming reaction from the show’s fans and according to Lee, he had apparently predicted that the series would reach audiences beyond his home country.
“I didn’t expect this kind of success at all when I first boarded Squid Game as a project. But when I read the script, I understood that it contained elements that could resonate with everyone and work outside of Korea,” he told Variety.
The actor, who has now undoubtedly a well-established career in South Korea, also shared that nothing much has changed for him as an actor, despite the fact that ‘Squid Game’ is set to be the streamer’s “biggest non-English-language show” worldwide.
“Nothing much has changed for me as an actor, but Gi-hun’s character changes a lot over the course of the show. It has a large spectrum, which any actor would want to try out at least once in his career. This was possibly the first time I’ve played a character with such a range,” he said about himself during Squid Game’s ongoing success.

Double burden of disease identifies the dual burden of non-communicable (NCD) and infectious conditions upon the reduced and middle-income countries. NCD's such as heart problems, obesity, and diabetes as a result of effect of globalization which cause remarkable changes in life-style that lead to weakness are rising and impacting now a brand new burden to prospects countries with limited assets.

The Kingdom of Tonga believes that in order to eliminate this double burden disease, promoting healthy knowledge has a key role in doing thus. However , Ba?o realizes that promoting know-how alone is usually not enough. Consequently there is a requirement for quality-assured immunization and incorporation of important health companies. Guidance and support via developed countries is also necessary to develop insurance plan plans, and strategy for running towards successful interventions or perhaps partnerships which provide continuum of care during nations effected.
In the year 2003, Tonga made a determination to promote healthful lifestyles and supportive environment, called the Tonga Dedication 2003.

Most of you know that Kelly is an avid Good-Willer. From what I understand she’s toned it down…A LOT! This post is about an amazing find she made on one of her Good Will trips. A pair of lamps that looked like this:
I have to admit, I didn’t care for them. Luckily Kelly could see how awesome they would be if they were only a different color. Let’s say something like this:
So we tape the lamps up with masking tape and some old newspaper and got them outside for their first (of three) coats of Global Blue. If I’m not careful I’ll use too much paint which will cause it to run. So we took our time with each coat. You can see here where I couldn’t exactly get the base coated very well. For the next two coats we put the lamps on a raised surface to do a better job.
Three coats of Global Blue later, and a coat of a clear matte, here’s what we ended up with!
We had to pick up shades for the lamps (unfortunately the most expensive part) but seriously not a big cost when compared to $12 lamps and a few cans of spray paint!
The lamps look great atop our custom-made end tables! I have to admit they look pretty darn awesome!
