In what appears to be a war crime at worse and open theft at best, the United States has admitted it is taking out oil from Syrian oil fields and using it to pay for its war effort in Syria. U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said that Washington would send armored vehicles and troops to the Syrian oil fields in order to prevent them from falling into the hands of Islamic State militants.
Russian Ministry of Defense published satellite intelligence images, showing America smuggling oil from Syria.
Recent events indicate consolidation of America’s hold on Syrian oil. On November 5th, Turkey’s Anadolu Agency reported that the U.S. has started constructing of two new military bases in Syria’s oil rich area and it is being built in the 113th Brigade area near al-Sur region.

Some people are big on holidays – bigger than they were before those holidays. A team at the University of Castilla-La Mancha and the University of Valladolid, Spain, sized up some first-year undergraduate nursing students, then wrote about it in a paper called “Preliminary study of the increase in health science students’ body mass index during the Christmas holidays“.
The researchers assessed changes in the weight and waist circumference of 67 students during the course of Christmas vacation. They asked students to measure themselves on 23 December, the day before the holidays officially started, and again at two specified points during the break, then finally on 13 January, the day general university activities officially resumed.
(Presumably the students were honest and accurate. However, the study includes the careful statement “This was a preliminary pilot study with self-reports. It is known that these reports tend to underestimate weight.”) The self-reported numbers show that, on average, body weight went up by about half a kilogram during the holiday, then came back down by the return to campus.
The study says: “As a whole, the students who weighed more had a greater tendency to gain more weight, in the case of both males and females.” What (not just how much) the students ate may, the study suggests, have played a sizeable role: “The students with a high-fat diet presented with a more pronounced change in weight.”
What new hill of beans does this up-and-down poundage amount to? The study concludes: “Although the weight gain was not alarming, it does point to the possibility of weight gain among young adults during vacation periods.”
What of the student waistline size (the study calls it “abdominal perimeter”)? That increased, on average, by about a centimetre and stayed that way. In other words: post-holiday, people tended to be just a little stouter.
A small holiday bite
Little things that happen during any holiday can, thanks to the timing, be especially memorable.
So it is with the case of the snake that bit the genitals of a defecating man. G. H. Dijkema at Rijnstate hospital in the Netherlands and colleagues lay forth the details in a report called “Scrotal necrosis after cobra (Naja annulifera) envenomation“.
Essentially, this is a simple tale. The team compresses the basic facts into a single sentence: “A 47-year-old otherwise healthy male was on holiday in a South African nature reserve, and while toileting, a snake struck from the toilet and bit his genitals.”
Enough extra detail is added to fill two and a half pages, spiced up with three photos of the injured body part. The authors also add this kindly thought: “Our take home message? Always flush the toilet before sitting down in countries notorious for their snake population!”
A new holiday tradition
Some families like to gather to read aloud holiday stories, especially the Christmas tales written by Charles Dickens. But families who are tired of hearing the same old words year after year do have alternatives. Maybe the most profitable is to take a businesslike approach.
Yukyoung Kim has identified a heap of stories that – because no one is stopping you – you and your family can read to each other as you anticipate the arrival of New Year.
Kim compiled the material as the main chunk of a master’s thesis at the College of Liberal Arts and Convergence Science in South Korea, giving it the title “Study on CEO New Year’s address: Using text mining method“. “CEO”, as most holiday revellers know, is an acronym that stands for the phrase “chief executive officer”.
Kim’s summary of these New Year’s stories is more businesslike than Dickens’s summaries of his Christmas tales. Kim says: “This study analyzed the CEO New Year’s addresses of major Korean companies… [I] analyzed 545 New Year’s addresses published between 2012 and 2021 by the top 66 Korean companies in terms of market capitalization.”
Many Korean CEO New Year’s addresses are findable on the internet, or by sending a request in an admiring tone to the corporate offices. After an evening of hearing family members declaim these CEO stories, whatever happens during the next few days will feel like a rousing start to the year.
Muddy White Christmas
In contrast to snow blanketing the land in chilly climes, having a White Christmas in some warmer places is a matter of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) precipitating in balmy waters. The CaCO3 drops to the sea floor, coating it with thick, white lime mud.
Sam Purkis at the University of Miami, Florida, and team published a study about this, titled “Always a White Christmas in the Bahamas: Temperature and hydrodynamics localize winter mud production on Great Bahama Bank“.
Though for Christmas Eve recitation the writing isn’t quite Dickens (or Korean CEO), you can treat your relatives to the lyrical parts. This, for instance: “spatial heterogeneity in the degree of aragonite saturation is higher in the winter, and the zone of peak whitings is situated in an area of locally enhanced saturation state”.
Accompanied by festive music and good cheer, your calcium carbonate White Christmas dramatic reading will turn the thoughts of all to better things.

Someone once said that to have a movement, you have to have a song. Well, now we have our song! About a week ago, I heard Million Dollar Nile's, "What You Don't Know," a song that basically sums up everything people need to know about their food -- and what's behind the subversive eating movement. The song talks about corn -- how it's in pretty much every processed food in the supermarket, how it's fed to livestock that can't digest it, how sugar and fat are subsidized by the government (through corn), and how it's leading to all kinds of medical problems.
I got so excited about the song, I played it for everyone in the family, and then I thought, why stop there? And besides that, we had a few questions that I really wanted to know the answer to -- and I thought that you, my real-food-loving readers, would love the song and want to know more about the band that came up with this amazing idea!
Band members Matt Swanson, Dan Stonington, and Nicole Comforto agreed to be my guests on Antiquity Oaks today, so in addition to answering my questions below, they're graciously agreed to drop in a few times in the next 24 hours to answer your questions!
Deborah: What inspired you to write this song? Have you read Michael Pollan's books or seen "King Corn"?
Matt: During the summer of '08 my wife and I spent two weeks kayaking in Glacier Bay, Alaska. After long days of paddling through the wilderness, we would kick back on the beach, cook a leisurely dinner, and read out loud. The book of choice was Michael Pollan's “The Omnivore's Dilemma.” In packing meals for the expedition, we had of course been concerned largely with weight, bulk, and cost, and thus had ended up with a disproportionate number of dried soup and stew mixes made by Bear Creek and the like. So as Michael Pollan launched into a critique of the industrial food system, one of us would follow along on the breathtaking lists of ingredients that adorned our discarded 'food' packaging. It was a horrifying experience--there were regular shouts of disbelief as Michael revealed yet another disturbing secret of the food industry. Each progressive ‘Progresso’ meal became harder to stomach, and the unbelievable dichotomy of pristine wilderness mixed with the daily ingesting of polysyllabic corn derivatives made a deep imprint in both of our minds. The song “What You Don’t Know” shortly followed our return home from this trip.
Deborah: That's so exciting that Omnivore's Dilemma made such a difference in your life! You mention a lot of health conditions in the song that are caused by a modern diet. Did any of you have health issues that served as a wake-up call?
Matt: I think we’re all fortunate to be young and relatively healthy, but just looking around it’s hard to miss the manifestations of our national eating disorder (as Pollan coins it). Obesity is the most obvious and prevalent affliction. One line of the song goes: “We’ve got diabetes and we’re chronically obese, from all this high fructose and all this subsidized grease.” I think this gets to the heart of the matter. By subsidizing the corn and soy industries so heavily, we’re driven to astonishingly low prices on such ingredients as high fructose corn syrup and soybean oil. Soda, fast food and other such low cost/high calorie foods are a logical outgrowth of such subsidies. The people who truly depend on such cheap options are in the low-income bracket, where obesity is most rampant. Thus, this becomes an issue of social justice, and I believe that what is happening is wrong.
Deborah: You have a long list of multi-syllabic ingredients that are in food. Are they all derivatives of corn? Did it all come from a particular label, or did you just pick a few random ingredients?
Matt: They are indeed all derivatives of corn which I tracked down on a corn allergy website. On it a woman by the name of Jenny Connors has assembled an extensive list of ingredients to be avoided by those with corn allergies. From this huge list, one can assemble most of the packaged food products sold in the supermarket.
Deborah: How has the song been received? Do people know what you're talking about? Do they care?
Matt: The song has been quite well received, and we often hear people referring fondly to “the corn song”. With the explosion of farmer’s markets and local, organic producers, this has been a really hot topic, and I think people appreciate our humorous portrayal of what can be an overwhelming and disturbing issue. In fact Michael Pollan himself came across this song and featured it recently in his newsletter.
So yes, I do think people know what we’re talking about, and they care deeply. We may be preaching to the choir at this point with our progressive-minded fans, but we’re hoping to broaden our audience and extend this message to more and more folks. In fact, to expedite this process, we are donating all the proceeds from our CD to non-profits focusing on sustainability. Here’s how it works: Anyone can go to our website, buy our CD for $10, and then nominate an organization that they think should receive the money. We’re hoping to start a ripple effect with this, so that lots of people get to enjoy our music and we get to donate a sizeable sum to a good cause. It’s a win-win (especially since we all have day jobs) so help us spread the word!
Deborah: Gladly! What's your diet like? Any tips for people attempting to navigate the food jungle and eat healthier?
Dan: Grow your own! One of my favorite lines from Matt's song is "if you really like organic then don't make it transatlantic" - so true. This summer for the first time in several years, I had a housemate with an avid green thumb. Nothing quite beats the convenience, health, and deliciousness of coming home after a busy day, being hungry, and needing to only skip into the backyard for a head of lettuce, a tomato, some kale, and strawberries. Add a bit of goat cheese and dressing and you're set for a fresh dinner salad.
Matt: I second that completely. The summer after our fateful kayaking adventure, we turned every inch of our backyard into a garden, and we’re still harvesting mountains of produce from it. I like Michael Pollan’s distinction between industrial organic and small scale producers. We’re often faced with the dilemna of buying organic produce from some mega farm in California versus non-certified produce from uncle joe’s farm down the street. I’m a big fan of local. Also as you move up the food chain it gets even dicier. Terms like cage-free and free-range can be really misleading, as it really means ‘access to a tiny plot of daylight that animal never really goes to’: I say if you can find a local livestock producer and have them slaughter an animal for you, then stick it in the freezer, that’s the way to go for meat eaters. And why not get your own chickens for eggs?
Nicole: I was lucky enough to be raised by a vegetarian health-nut father. I didn't appreciate his insistence on carrots instead of candy bars until I was in college and realized one day that junk food had no appeal to me. Since then I think I've found a good balance between eating healthily while also enjoying the occasional indulgence. I think that the first step to eating well is to find a regular source of good local produce (whether it be your garden, a farmer's market, or a produce delivery service) and then start experimenting with new produce. Soon you'll find new dishes that you love and start carving healthier foods.
Deborah: What's your favorite healthy food or meal?
Nicole: There are so many to choose from! Lately if I'm in the mood for something quick and healthy I'll saute up whatever vegetables I have around with cashews, organic chicken or tofu, a little sweet chili sauce and spices, and serve them mixed in with rice noodles.
I'm drooling now, too! Okay, while I'm cleaning off my keyboard, you can listen to Million Dollar Nile's song. Just click below:
And remember, if any of you have questions for Seattle's greenest bluegrass band, just give 'em a holler in the comment section.

Flashcards in Chapter 6 - Sheet1 Deck (53):
Switches enable ____ duplex between host and switch
The role of the ethernet switch
Forward ethernet frames to the right destination MAC address
3 goals of switches
Forward / Filter decisions, MAC Address learning, Loop avoidance
Switch's MAC Address Table AKA
Switching table, bridging table, content addressable memory (CAM) table
For switch MAC address tables, a timer associated with each entry that counts time upward from
0 and is reset to 0 each time a switch receives a frame with the same MAC address. The entries
with the largest timers can be removed to make space for additional MAC address table entries if needed. Entries will high timers may be removed whether or not it's needed.
Unonwn Unicast Frames
An Ethernet frame whose destination MAC address is not listed in a switch’s MAC address
table, so the switch must flood the frame.
True/False:: Broadcast Frames are not forwarded by switches
FALSE. They are forwarded by switches
Protocol used to prevent layer 2 loops
Spanning Tree Protocol
STP causes each interface on a swtich to settle into which states?
Either blocking or fowarding
Blocking state of STP
Interface cannot forward or recieve data frames
Forwarding state of STP
Interface c an send and receive data frames.
3 internal processing methods for switches
Store-and-forward processing, cut-through, fragment-free
One of three internal processing options on some Cisco LAN switches in which the Ethernet
frame must be completely received before the switch can begin forwarding the first bit of the
frame is forwarded as soon as enough of the Ethernet header has been received for the switch to
make a forwarding decision, including forwarding the first bits of the frame before the whole
frame is received. Propagates errors, as bits are sent before FCS arrives
first bits of
the frame can be forwarded before the entire frame is received, but not until the first 64 bytes of
the frame are received, in which case, in a well-designed LAN, collision fragments should not
occur as a result of this forwarding logic
Application-specific integrated circuits. Switches make decisions based on ASIC chips (hardware) instead of software, like how bridges operate
Typical internal processing method for a switch
Store and forward. Improved latency from the other two methods is negligible, now that switches have ASIC chips and fasther uplilink connections and connections to hosts.
Features offered by a switch not offered by hubs or bridges
Microsegmentation, providing dedicated bandwidth to each host / multiple concurrent conversations between devices on different ports / ports connected to a singel device support full-duplex, doubling amt of bandwidth / rate adaption - devices can use different ethernet speeds to communicate
If a switch's address table lists the receiving interface as the interface connected to the destination MAC address, what does it do?
The switch filters the frame -- ignores it.
How can a collission still occur with a switch
If the host and switch are configured to half-duplex (instead of full-duplex) and they send and receive at the same time. So unlikely, but possible.
set of network interface cards (NIC) for which a frame sent by one NIC
could result in a collision with a frame sent by any other NIC in the same collision domain.
set of NICs for which a broadcast frame sent by one NIC is received
by all other NICs in the same broadcast domain
Effect of full-duplex on a switch
Doubling capacity -- a 100mbps connection becomes 200mbps.
Hub, Switch, Router: Which of these three allow for greater cabling distances?
Hub, Switch, Router
Hub, Switch, Router: Which of these three creates multiple collision domains?
Hub, Switch, Router: Which of these three increases bandwidth?
Hub, Switch, Router: Which of these three creates multiple broadcast domains?
LAN, from the perspective of VLANs
A LAN consists of all devices in the same broadcast domain
LAN created to support larger buildings
An IEEE standard mechanism (802.3u) with which two nodes can exchange messages for the
purpose of choosing to use the same Ethernet standards on both ends of the link, ensuring that the
link functions and functions well.
3 terms to describe the role of each switch in a campus LAN
access, distribution, core
Access Switch on a Campus LAN
Connect directly to end users, providing user device access to the LAN.
Distribution Switch on a Campus LAN
Provide a path through which the access switches can forward traffic to each other. Access switches connect to at least on distribution switch.
Core Switch on a Campus LAN
Forward traffic between distribution switches. Example: Campus with multiple buildings, each with several distribution switches, needs core switches to connect it all together.
3 most common types of Ethernet today
10Base-T, 100Base-T, 1000Base-T
Max length of 10Base-T, 100Base-T, 1000Base-T ethernet
What organization defines ethernet cableing standards
What category of cabling does 10Base-T call for
Cat3 or higher (two pair)
What category of cabling does 100Base-T call for
Cat5 or higher (two pair)
What category of cabling does 1000Base-T call for
Cat5e or Cat 6 (four pair)
Max distance for 10Base-T
100 meters (328 ft)
Max distance for 100Base-T
100 meters (328 ft)
Max distance for 1000Base-T
100 meters (328 ft)
Max distance for 1000Base-SX
550 meters (1804.5 ft)
Max distance for 1000Base-LX
550 meters (1804.5 ft)
Max distance for 1000Base-LX Single Mode
5km (3.1 miles)
Media for 1000Base-SX
Media for 1000Base-LX, multimode
Media for 1000Base-LX, singlemode
9 micron single-mode fiber
IEEE rules if autonegotiation fails
Use your slowest supported speed. If speed is 10 or 100, use half-duplex. Otherwise, use full-duplex
Cisco rules if autonegotiation fails
Cisco devices can sense speed used by another node. Speed: Sense the speed. If that fails, use IEEE default. Duplex: Use IEE defaults
When a host's duplex is set to a value different from a connected host or switch .Example: Half duplex on a host, full duplex on a switch. This wil lresult in one client (host) using CSMA/CD and sensing collisions that don't exist. The link will be online, but perform poorly.

According to several reports, the 2013 Hyundai Sonata has been recently unveiled and its features are being tested by experts.
According to one account, the midsize sedan is equipped with great standard features and comfortable interior. Drivers of the new Sonata will be able to drive a vehicle manufactured with a fuel-efficient engine and strong acceleration capabilities in spite of the fact some may find the ride in the SE trim somewhat rough.
Experts indicated that this new model’s distinctive design may affect the rear headroom, which could make the riding experience not as comfortable to passengers in the back seat.

Depending on your body and state, you can experience alleviation in a few days. Yet , you should always apply CBD no less than eight weeks to see the greatest effects.
CBD has strong antioxidant homes. In fact , it exceeds the antioxidant activity of vitamin C and At the. It may also lessen the indications of common https://validcbdoil.com/blog/cbd-oil-vs-cbd-tincture/ skin health problems like psoriasis and swelling. However , it is important to remember that CBD has side effects and should only be utilized after talking to a healthcare professional.
The good news is that the adverse effects of CBD are not as serious as those of other pain medications. Research have shown that CBD minimizes the amount of time a person spends in bed after having a day of stress. Actually some people have the ability to stop taking medications designed for anxiety and still feel better than they did before. While this is a good development, additionally research is had to confirm these kinds of positive results.
CBD is safe to get healthy adults, but research has shown which it can boost the a result of another medication. One study noticed that CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT can boost the effect of clobazam, a medicine used to take care of epilepsy. This kind of study engaged participants who an average of 59 seizures monthly before starting CBD. This amount went down to 22. five seizures each month after doze weeks. Oddly enough, this improvement was maintained throughout the 48-week study. Although this treatment can help people with epilepsy, it is always critical to consult a medical professional just before using any kind of form of CBD oil.
For the reason that CBD companies are unregulated, it is important to look for top quality products. You should search for products that meet demanding guidelines and are also produced in a secure environment. For instance , you should look for goods that have been analyzed according to the American Herbal Pharmacopoeia. The FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION (FDA) has permitted the use of an individual CBD merchandise, Epidiolex. This medication is used to treat rare severe seizure disorders in children.
In addition to reducing seizures, CBD engine oil can reduce irritation, reduce pain, and improve sleep. It includes even recently been approved by the foodstuff and Medication Administration for use in the treatment of two rare epilepsy syndromes. Nevertheless , it is not but clear if CBD acrylic can help with seizures which are not triggered simply by stress, panic, or strain. CBD necessary oil may also be necessary for people who are aiming to quit smoking or other medications.
While CBD oil includes numerous health and fitness benefits, the most important is that it will help you control stress. Since it works by immediately interacting with the brain’s serotonin receptors, CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT oil can help you deal with tension and depression. It has also been shown to help deal with pain brought on by cancer.

Meetings with the brazilian research groups GEPAD (UFRGS) and CERESAN (CPDA/UFRRJ)
The Food for Justice team presented the research project and first results of the case studies to two very important research groups in the area of Food studies in Brazil.
The Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas em Agricultura, Alimentação e Desenvolvimento (GEPAD), coordinated by Prof. Sérgio Schneider (UFRGS), was founded in 2005 by a group of professors and students involved with the Graduate Program in Rural Development of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (PGDR/UFRGS). At the time, the first Family Agriculture and Rural Development Colloquium was organized, enabling academic debate among researchers interested in understanding the social, economic and productive diversity of family agriculture, as well as its insertion and influence on development processes. Over the years the group has grown and currently its members make up a multidisciplinary team of researchers working in different Universities and research centers in Brazil and abroad.
CERESAN – Centro de Referência em Soberania e Segurança Alimentar e Nutricional is a research and training center that brings together researchers and students from various areas of knowledge and national and foreign institutions, working on issues of Food Sovereignty and Nutritional Security (SSAN) and the Human Right to Adequate and Healthy Food (DHA) in Brazil and internationally. Created in January 2003, it has headquarters in the Graduate Program of Social Sciences in Development, Agriculture and Society of the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (CPDA/UFRRJ) and the School of Nutrition of the Federal Fluminense University (UFF). The Center is coordinated by Professors Renato S. Maluf (UFRRJ) and Luciene Burlandy (UFF). CERESAN is affiliated to the Brazilian Forum of Sovereignty and Food and Nutritional Security, offers subsidies to the National Council of SAN (CONSEA) and is a member of CONSEA-RJ.

New Wall Street bonus numbers reveal how these payouts have far outpaced the rise in the federal minimum wage — and how this in turn has contributed to race and gender inequality.
The rapid expansion of the Wall Street bonus pool over the past few decades has contributed to race and gender inequality. Since 1985, the nominal value of the average Wall Street bonus has jumped 890 percent.
Through our weekly feature, we’ve been honored to lift up dozens of inspiring leaders in the fight for a more equitable country and world.
Voters in many states, including some red ones, approved proposals that will reduce our economic divide.
Learning the lessons from this year’s progressive ballot initiative victories — and lessons from the first Gilded Age — will help us move forward and overcome our great divides.
In an otherwise dismal election, minimum wage ballot initiatives were a bright spot.
Voters in many states will have the opportunity to weigh in on a variety of inequality-related issues, from taxing the wealthy to price-gouging on drugs.
Rising progressive star Ben Chin, the political director of the feisty Maine People’s Alliance, has some important lessons to share with activists working for a more equal America.
In the nation’s capital, restaurant employees have been left out of a newly cut City Council $15 minimum wage deal. They’re now continuing the fight for one fair wage for all workers.
The case for raising the minimum wage in Indiana is clear and compelling, despite state and federal inaction. In not one county in Indiana can a single adult get by on a minimum wage of $7.25.
We could raise wages for millions of workers to $15 an hour, using the bonus money from Wall Street, and still have plenty of money left over. In 2015, Wall Street bonuses averaged over $146,000.
The financial industry’s 2014 bonuses doubled the combined earnings of all Americans who work full-time at the federal minimum wage, shows a just-released Institute for Policy Studies report.
Each week, millions of dollars are stolen from American families. The perpetrators act with impunity. There are no arrests, few convictions, and meaningless fines. What is this crime wave sweeping the nation? Wage theft. Some communities are now banding together to put an end to it.
Back when I studied economics, we “proved” in class that a minimum wage causes unemployment. But that proof depends on assuming a perfectly competitive market. Big low-wage employers like Wal-Mart have substantial market power; they can deliberately under-staff operations to force down wages. In that case, a minimum wage increase can actually create jobs–if it can be enforced.
It was the perfect “natural experiment:” in April 1992, New Jersey’s minimum-wage was scheduled to rise from $4.25 an hour to $5.05, while neighboring Pennsylvania’s minimum wage remained unchanged.
Call it vote-buying if you want, but when a government effectively buys the votes of 80 or 90 percent of the population, I call that government of the people, by the people, for the people.
We have at least twenty years to rebuild the Social Security trust fund. If we raise minimum wages now, we can start rebuilding the fund now.
For the past forty years American men’s incomes have stagnated, but women’s wages have risen. Unfortunately, the years of catch-up are now over. We need policies to raise wages for everyone.
If America could eliminate most serious poverty in the United States in the 1960s, surely we could do the same today.
Can you imagine Americans of 1968 settling for a minimum wage standard of living that had been set based on 1924 standards? What about 1880 standards? At some point we should expect low-wage workers to start living better than they used to.
Inflation has been steadily eroding the value of the U.S. minimum wage over recent decades. But inflation only explains part of the story why the minimum wage has become such an inadequate guarantor of low-wage decency and justice in the United States today.

Capillary Concrete™ is made for ease of installation. Large scale or small scale, the installation process can be adapted to work with any crew in any weather. To provide support, our experienced installers are able to help and teach you exactly how to make this work best for your golf course.
Read the following information prior installation and watch this video for inspiration. You will enjoy it even more.
Prior to installation of CAPILLARY CONCRETE™, the CONTRACTOR, or OWNERS REPRESENTATIVE, or SUPERINTENDENT will ensure that all bunker drains work properly and the subgrade is positively pitched, stable under foot, smooth, compacted and free of debris and meets the ARCHITECTS design specifications.
To maintain the pervious nature of the product, every effort should be made to prevent soil contamination of CAPILLARY CONCRETE™ prior to sand installation. To prevent soil erosion and contamination into the CAPILLARY CONCRETE™ before covering with sand, grassing around the perimeter of the bunker should take place prior to and be secured to the soil by roots or staples before the installation of CAPILLARY CONCRETE™. If the bunker subgrade consists of wet soil, an additional layer of loose drainage gravel should be placed over the lowest lying area around the drainage trench and before the installation of the CAPILLARY CONCRETE™.
Bunker sand should be placed over CAPILLARY CONCRETE™ within 2 days of hardening and watered to saturation following installation. If the bunker liner is exposed to dry conditions following installation, the bunker liner shall be protected with black plastic and/or damp burlap fabric which should remain damp until the bunker will be covered with sand. Never at any time shall the bunker liner be allowed to dry out completely before covering with sand.
The bunker subgrade area shall be covered with CAPILLARY CONCRETE™ to a minimum depth of 2 inches. When a properly sized and approved LWA aggregate is mixed with the CAPILLARY CONCRETE™ ADMIXTURE, a free draining, homogenously bonded layer of Capillary Concrete is created. The CAPILLARY CONCRETE™ will be delivered in a ready mix truck in MOST areas. For those regions that will not allow for ready mix trucks, admixture bags will be used. CAPILLARY CONCRETE™ ADMIXTURE bags are shipped on pallets (42-48 bags/pallet) or in one cubic yard super sacks, covered in plastic and wrapped in shrink wrap plastic to protect the product from moisture before use. CAPILLARY CONCRETE™ ADMIXTURE must remain dry before use to prevent the product from hardening.
CAPILLARY CONCRETE™ is unique because it consists of special Light Weight Aggregate, which contains no regular gravel aggregate. This is an engineered expanded aggregate which has unique water holding capabilities, and assists in the capillary movement of moisture to the bunker sand. Ensure the aggregate gets fully soaked with water at least 24 hours before installation, and kept moist. All aggregates must be approved by Capillary Concrete AB/LLC and meet USGA bridging gravel requirements based on the selected bunker sand, or be separately approved by an accredited testing laboratory.
Before installing CAPILLARY CONCRETE™, establish a grid system to control the product depth during installation by placing 3” Plasticap ® Nails or 4 inch pipe cut to 2 inches approximately 4 feet apart throughout the bottom of the bunker. Slide the plastic cap down 2 inches on the nail and insert the nail into the subgrade. The CAPILLARY CONCRETE™ shall meet the top of the nail head to provide a uniform depth of 2 inches. As the product is being installed and the depth of the mixture is established, the nails may be removed.
CAPILLARY CONCRETE™ MIX RATIOS:
125 liter of aggregate
+ one bag of CC ADMIXTURE
+12,5 liter water(approximately)
≈2,3 square meter Capillary Concrete™ (5 cm)
One cubic yard of aggregate
+6 bags of CC Admixture
+75 liter water(approximately)
≈14 square meter Capillary Concrete™ (5 cm)
Please note, the amount of water in the mix may change depending on moisture and weather conditions at site. Always strive to keep the mix in a workable state and have it display a wet metallic sheen with a smooth paste. Do not allow the mix to get too wet-more water can always be added to achieve desired moisture levels-but water cannot be removed from the mixture.
CAPILLARY CONCRETE™ shall be mixed using the following procedure:
1. Place proper ratio of aggregate in mixer. Turn mixer on.
2. Begin mixing aggregate and add proper ratio of Capillary Concrete™ Admixture.
3. Mix for a minimum of 4 minutes to allow admixture to for acceptably coat the aggregates.
4. SLOWLY add proper ratio of water to side of mixer-(do not dump water into mixer).
5. Mix for a minimum of 4 minutes to create a smooth homogenous mixture.
6. Turn off mixer and check the bottom of the mixer to confirm that mixture is uniform and shiny and not dull in color.
To ensure the correct consistency of the CAPILLARY CONCRETE™, perform a HAND SQUEEZE TEST. A sample of the wet CAPILLARY CONCRETE™ and aggregate mixture is grabbed in the hand, squeezed and released.
The paste must be sticky enough for the aggregate particles to adhere to the vertical surface of the hand.If all the aggregate falls off and the hand is dry, the mixture is too dry. If the aggregate falls off the hand and there is a wet paste slurry covering the hand, the mixture is too wet. Do not allow mixture to sit in mixer for more than 10 minutes without mixing.
After the installation has been finished for 24 hours under protective plastic, it is ready for testing. A water test clearly shows the ability to release very heavy rain.

I have had issues with, what I thought was, chronic UTI’s since I was in the eigth grade. Having at least 7 a year. Strangely enough the pain was not going away with medicine. I have been going to a Urologist for a year now and today he came up with the diagnosis of Interstitial Cystitits. I was hoping this would not be the diagnosis as there is no cure. It hinders everything I do, I am constantly in pain, do not have sex for fear of the pain, and even miss school or work because of the pain! Is there any other ladies that suffer from this awful illness? What have you done to eleveate this pain? Please help! I can’t take it any longer!
I posted this in the beehive also then realized it wasn’t the right place to post it. Thank you ladies.
Post # 4
All I can offer is prayers. I have a friend with the same condition who is currently in the hospital having her urinary bladder “flushed” to see if that will help. Our naturopath does recommend taking probiotics.
Post # 5
@lhelm93: Hi, I don’t know how much I can help because I have the same problem and am not totally better despite trying lots of things. You are not alone though!! !
The main thing that has helped me is physical therapy. I didn’t believe my urologist when he said that this might work..but it really helped! I would keep going forever if my insurance would continue to cover my sessions. My physical therapist also tuaght me some relaxation and deep breathing excersies. I thought this was silly at first, but it helps! It turns out I was making my physical symptoms worse by panicking that they would never get better. I can cope with pain better now.
Benedryl also helps me when I am really in pain. A lot of the pain from IC is related to inflamation and histamines. I find that it is worth me sleepwalking through work/school if the alternative is not being able to go.
Diet made a difference for me. I do not drink coffee or soda anymore and try to limit other acidic foods. The coffee was a big change. I also stopped taking birth control pills and while I don’t know of any scientific connection, I feel my pain levels are lower. My doctor has no idea why this would be, but I’ll take it!
Let me know if you have any questions. I feel for you and just wanted to send some support out there 🙂 Things will get better. This is not the end of your life. I promise.
Post # 6
@rachel-michelle: Ugh, I have the same problem too, except I haven’t actually been diagnosed with anything yet because of delays in the health care system. But it is pretty horrible. I haven’t recovered from a horrible bladder infection I had 10 months ago (the first and only one I’ve ever had in my 28 years), and it’s completely messed up my sex life, my ability to sit for long periods of time, to wear tight pants and to dance. I already had a crapload of health problems to begin with, so this is not exactly something I need to add to my file.
However, I have heard that massage and relaxation can help. In my case, I actually need to be diagnosed before I can start doing anything about it, but it’s definitely not the end of your life! Even with the pain, I am still living pretty much the way I did before. I just carry around ice packs with me for when it burns really badly, and Tylenol takes the edge off it. I still managed a major promotion at work, and only had to call in sick when I had the initial infection. My boyfriend has been amazing and understanding, and I love him so much more because of it. He has taken me to emerg so many times and sat with me and held my hand while they poked and prodded me with all kinds of needles and IV’s.
So it’s definitely not the end of your life!! I have days where I am so bad, and yet I think about all the good things I have in my life, and it takes my mind off the pain. I heard things like fibromyalgia are much worse.
Post # 7
I have also been diagnosed with this! I’m so sorry that you have been too.
There is a diet plan that you can follow that avoids certain foods that allegedly inflame the system. I follow it on a modified level.
What has helped me feel better in general is cutting out all processed and refined foods, as well as sugar. I don’t do coffee and soda anymore, like the previous poster.
I haven’t had an infection since I gave those things up, and I usually get one at least once a month.
Post # 8
I have this and have restricted my tea to one cup a day (sob, sob, sob) and have also eliminated citrus fruits and tomatoes. Doing this has helped, as acidic foods are known to be triggers. I also take a product called pre-relief, which is brilliant if you are eating something with trigger foods (trigger foods are in a *lot* of meals!). I even find it helps me if a meal is safe. Plus, sometimes I take it when I am in pain. It does contain calcium however, so it is important not to take tons of the stuff and to separate it from thyroid meds if you are on those.
Other people have recommended a product called Cystoprotek, but I have no experience of that. People rave about it though….
There are also certain medications that your doctor can prescribe for you.
I’d highly recommend reading the IC-network site. There is a lot of info there and a very active forum.
I have also just purchased The Better Bladder Book. It’s supposed to be brilliant.

102.9 Sounds You Never Hear
In collaboration with Jon Rubin
102.9 FM “Sounds You Never Hear” was a radio transmission experiment created by Jon Rubin and John Peña in a vacant building in Homestead in Pennsylvania. This 8-block radius low-wattage transmission broadcasted rare and obscure field recordings that one would normally never hear in on the radio.
102.9 FM takes its inspiration from the history of the building, which in the late 40’s was the site of a radio station that hosted DJ Porky Chedwick. Porky was one of the first DJs in the country to play African American music (gospel, blues, R&B and jazz) on popular radio. In this spirit, 102.9 sought to challenge the redundancy of popular media by presenting a model for radio as a site for rare and first-time discoveries.
The first sound being transmitted was a field recording of “A Dusky Seaside Sparrow (Extinct)” which played on a constant loop. This particular sparrow went extinct in 1987 and as 102.9 FM’s first broadcast it presents a metaphorical relationship to the now extinct steel-industry that once surrounded the vacant Homestead building.
The second broadcast was a field recording of the confluence of the three major rivers in downtown Pittsburgh. The sign read, “Where the 3 Rivers Meet Underwater.” In this instance, the idea was to record and present a sound that is local and familiar in presence yet was something that one would never normally hear. Equally absurd was the fact that the Rubin and Peña with the help of undergraduate Jonny Minard kayaked to the spot where the three rivers met, dropped an underwater microphone and gathered their recordings. In November 2007, Peña and Rubin were forced to shut down their broadcast by the FCC. (This project was hosted by the Steel Valley Arts Council)

Flash flooding caused by torrential rain has struck Abergele, hitting businesses and bringing axle-deep water to the roads.
Parts of the high street were flooded just after 3pm when rainwater flowed down Chapel Street.
A florist’s shop was completely flooded, and others at a lower level were also affected.
One resident said: “The flooding is horrendous. It was pretty scary.
"It’s really worrying for local businesses. It makes you realise how bad it must be when homes flood.”
The road through the town was not closed but traffic was said to be slow and “splashing through the puddles”.
North Wales Fire and Rescue Service said they had received about 20 calls for assistance since 3pm.
A spokeswoman said none of the incidents reported are serious and advice has been given to most of the calls.
An officer has been sent out to investigate some of the incidents.
She added most of the calls were from the Abergele and Prestatyn areas.

A temporary diversion will be in place on the Water-filling Station roundabout in Al Khor and a single-lane dual carriageway in a section on Al Khor Road (street no.212 in front of Al Khor Sports Club) for nearly 700 metres in the direction from Al Shamal Road to Corniche and vice versa. The diversion will be for a period of six months.
The existing southbound lanes of Al Khor Road will be closed for the same distance (as shown in the map).
During the period, traffic on the closed roundabout will be diverted to a new temporary roundabout with a bigger radius that was constructed on the same location in order to avoid traffic congestion.
This diversion aims to allow the implementation of works to convert the Water-Filling Station Roundabout in to a signal-controlled intersection, and to continue the development of infrastructure works, storm water network, and road works of the southbound of Al Khor Commercial Street as part of the roads and infrastructure development project for Commercial Street in Al Khor area.

Balvenie Distillery’s Covent Garden Pop-up Recycles Whiskey Barrels for its Interior
Posted By Lori Zimmer On August 19, 2011 @ 2:34 pm In Architecture,green Interiors,Recycled Materials | No Comments
Created for the Balvenie brand, The Whisky  Den was a temporary bar, open for four weeks. As the weeks passed, Anonymous Artists added more and more to the rustic interior. The ever-evolving space featured a handmade bar built from the raw woods recycled from packing palettes, and as the days marched on, a tunnel of wooden slates was built up the stairs, slowly encompassing the walls, pillars and ceiling. Chairs and tables  were made from barrels that once held aging whiskey. Both wooden elements cast woodsy aromas throughout the bar, which evoked the smells of the actual distillery in Scotland.
Like the original distillery, the lower level held a malt floor, made from a half- ton of barley, trucked in from Scotland . Each aesthetic detail of the bar reflected the ages-old tradition of distilling whiskey. The Balvenie brand is known for its rare, handcrafted whiskey, all flavored with a rich honey taste. The Whisky Den serves as not only a place to gather, but also to learn, as employees, called Balvenie Ambassadors, are on hand to educate the visiting consumers on the secrets of fine whiskey making. What’s more is that they are celebrating the tradition of fine whiskey tasting , offering samples of five cask whiskeys to sniff, imbibe, and discuss.

Bailout Fund: Probe states owing salaries, Kwara workers urged Buhari
Members of the Nigeria Labour Congress and other trade union on Tuesday urged President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate some states that refused to pay the civil servants salaries up to date despite the”Bail out Fund” released to them for that purpose.
ROYAL NEWS gathered that the workers also lamented the inability of the state government to meet their demands last year even as they urged the state government to prioritise their welfare for improved productivity.
Chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress in the state, Comrade Yekeen Agunbiade, made the call while speaking during the May Day celebrations in Ilorin, the state capital .
The Senior Special Assistant to Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed on Media and Communications,Dr Muhideen Akorede said, “Kwara state government takes note of the outstanding issues and assures workers in the state that it is looking into the issues raised within the context of the current economic situation in state and indeed in the whole country.”
‘We however need to emphasise that government values the contribution of workers and has ensured their welfare through regular payment of salaries and pensions to state workers.The issues of pension and gratuity at local government will depend on the capacity of that tier of government to pay,”he added.
The NLC chairman in his address said “In this same venue last year,we presented quite a number of issues/demands,but since then none of them has been attended to up till now”
He listed the demands as included,Zenith Bank shares;outstanding gratuity of retired local government workers and primary school teachers since 2008,and payment of outstanding 50% CONHESS to health workers in the state which has lingered more than enough as well as shortage of staff in our state owned health institutions.
Others are adjustment of Pension and gratuity of the compulsorily retired school principals based on Principal special Grade level 16;Weigh-in allowance to workers in the media and cultural sectors,payment of 2018 annual increment that was to be paid in January,2018 which is yet to be paid till date;complete absorption of FADAMA staff in ADP and lack of implementation of promotion in Kwara State Teaching Service Commission(TESCOM) and kwara State Basic Education Board(SUBEB).
The NLC boss also appealed to the state government to convert the punishment of workers dismissed over fake certificate scandal to compulsory retirement because of the number of years they had spent in service.
He also appealed for the continuous release of N150M for the payment of gratuity to the state pensioners in the state.

Nova Minerals Ltd (ASX:NVA, OTCQB:NVAAF) welcomed the news that its lithium-focused subsidiary, Snow Lake Resources Ltd, has made progress in a prospecting and mapping program on its Manitoba properties.
Snow Lake Vice President of Resource Development Dale Schultz and Vice President of Exploration Brian Youngs handled the program.
The company’s latest expedition was designed to target more lithium-bearing targets, which would be targeted for resource expansion in future drilling campaigns.
Snow Lake also undertook to confirm the locations of the previously identified Sherritt Gordon and Grass Rivers dykes and to track potential extensions of the Thompson Brothers Lithium (TBL) pegmatite.
Nova owns the majority of Snow Lake Resources Ltd, which joined the NASDAQ board in late November following a US$24 million initial public offering (IPO).
Develop the identified resource
Speaking to the program, Schultz said: “Lithium was first identified on the Snow Lake Lithium claims in the 1930s and 1940s, with subsequent drilling programs over the decades confirming the richness of pegmatites containing lithium on our property.
“The challenge now is to continue to organically develop our identified resource using all the tools at our disposal.
“Our summer prospecting program has been extremely successful and the upcoming previously announced drone survey will deploy the latest state-of-the-art technology to provide us with real-time, in-depth and layered data to further improve our understanding of the geology.
“Our exploration program is providing us with the geological information necessary to carry out what promises to be a very exciting winter drilling program which we believe will bring substantial improvements to our understanding of the resources.”
Exploring lithium potential in Manitoba
During the prospecting and mapping expedition, Snow Lake took field samples to assess their amounts of lithium oxide.
A dyke known as BY pegmatite showed promising results, grading between 1.2 wt% (wt%) and 1.6 wt% lithium oxide.

It is located to the north and east of the main TBL resource block and will represent a new target area outside of the crystallization zones already known and established in the resource.
Other targets of interest include the Grass River (GR) and the Sherritt Gordon (SG), levees located south and west of TBL across the Crowduck Channel.
Notably, a sample from the Grass River dyke returned a value of 1.27% by weight lithium oxide.
Two samples of spodumene crystals taken from the outcrops are even more interesting.
These crystals returned up to 6.86 wt% and 6.97 wt% lithium oxide, respectively.
Ultimately, this suggests that the Grass River Dyke should be able to produce concentrates at the 6% level or greater.

The Sherritt Gordon dyke also gave very high figures, grading between 2.73 wt% and 3.42 wt% lithium oxide.
The Grass River and Sherritt Gordon dykes contain more coarse-grained spodumene than the TBL, with crystals over 40 centimeters long and 5 to 8 centimeters wide.

All samples were sent to SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories in Saskatoon for analysis.
“One of the most promising resources”
Echoing Schultz’s comments, CEO Philip Gross said, “The results of this prospecting expedition are incredibly encouraging and confirm our belief that Snow Lake Lithium sits on one of the most promising resources in North America for the lithium supply.
“Our recent laboratory analysis results also suggest that our rock has the potential to produce a quality feedstock for the battery industry.
“As the North American market pivots toward full fleet electrification, there is currently a systemic lithium supply shortfall for this critical demand.
“Snow Lake is perfectly positioned with geographic proximity, a viable resource and access to infrastructure to play a key role in what promises to be the most significant development in the industrialized world this century.”

Remember that bumbling ball of fur who plopped into a “sit” and melted into “down” with just a couple of minutes of practice? And, the adorable way he dropped his little head and gave you the best sad puppy eyes when his shark teeth hit your hand, and you instinctively said “ouch”? Well, those days are gone when puppies hit their adolescent stage. Technically, dogs hit the equivalent of their teenage stage between 6-18 months. But, I find that the absolute worst phase for urban dogs is 5-10 months of age.
Here are a few tips for surviving the raging hormones, lack of motivation, and VERY selective hearing.
Follow-through When puppies are super young, they’re biologically inclined to want to please. “Oh my goodness, you want me to sit? Ok, and thank you for that bite of biscuit. Garsh, I love you so much.” As pups develop and become more independent, they sometimes choose NOT to listen to cues they once readily (and happily) complied with. It’s super easy for us understanding humans to give our pooches a pass because we know they’re in a funky stage.
But, if you ask your darling fur babe to “touch” and she stares at you with her best “I don’t wanna” face, and you go on your merry way, all you teach your precious pooch is that your words really don’t mean anything. Doing so can bite you in the butt when it really counts, just like Gavin did when he was this age.
So, in the above example, move your hand a tiny bit closer. Help a puppy out. A lot is going on in her body, clouding her compliance capability.
If she then touches your hand, say “yes.” But, do not reward. If you treat your teenage pup for the slow responses, she’s getting reinforced for sloppy behavior. If your puppy is REALLY in a punky place, she might turn her head or continue to ignore you. But, fight the urge to hover over her shouting, “touch, touch, touch.” Adding pressure and force to the situation never does any good. Take a step away and gently offer just your hand (not the verbal cue) again until she responds. Some pups make take QUITE A FEW repetitions. Patience is important at this stage, and make sure you help your growing dog remembers that good things happen when she listens to you will pay off for years to come.
Use play as a reward. Often at this age, puppies turn up their naughty nose to the most scrumptious treats. If you’re playing hours of fetch to try to tire your hooligan hound, make it count! Ask for a “wait” before you grab the ball. Impulse control is critical. And, who wants gashes in their hand from an over-eager puppy mouth when the only reason you are picking the ball up is to toss it for your clamping canine? Ouch!
Ask for a “sit” before tossing it again. Or, if your dog likes to do drive-bys, have a second toy ready and bounce or squeak it. When he graces you with his first toy at your feet, toss it as a reward. This is a great way to shape “drop.” But, only give the cue when the ball is out of his mouth.
Too much talking, and your pup learns to ignore you.
Lighten up. I called Gavin “El Diablo” when he was a terrible teenager. Often, I would ask him to “sit,” and he would stare at me, then tear around the living room like he was the Tazmanian Devil, and lay down (not sit, as I asked) right in front of me right before he would grumble again for punctuation. As long as no serious behavioral issues are developing and your puppy is not in danger, chill out a bit. I find that when my clients get too serious during this stage, it alters their body language so much that it actually causes the pup to respond even less.
So, try not to take atrocious behavior to heart.
Practice an easy behavior or play a game so your pup remembers that you are not such a stick in the mud. Oh, wait, if you were a stick, your pup would be SUPER interested in you!!!
Follow these few steps and remember, your adorable juvenile delinquent will soon look at you again with the glitter gaze that made you fall in love i
And, when your precious pooch is back in your good graces, check out these awesome products to show the world your dog is the best!
