When you were taken by the lure of love,
And opened your heart on that ardent quest;
When you were silky as a flight of doves,
And soared aloft, and forsook all the rest;
When you were searching for that love so sweet,
Overflowing with hope, lacking all fears;
When you were reckless in your urge to meet
Your perfect lover, in your green-vine years,
The world seemed to offer the love you sought,
And your love was there, real as love can be.
Your heart was ready for the love you caught
In the net you cast when you trolled love's sea,
But life taught a lesson; love went away,
And fled like a breeze on a summer's day.

Android Phones to Natively Support Hearing Aid Bluetooth Connectivity
Hearing aid wearers who use Android devices will be excited to learn that Google plans to release functionality in their Android P update that will enable natively connecting to hearing aids through Bluetooth. This means that no additional apparatus is needed in order to pair the phone with the hearing aids. While this feature is already supported natively on iOS devices, Android devices account for roughly 85% of all the devices owned, so this has the potential to impact a lot of people. Hearing aid wearers are typically interested in pairing their phone to their hearing aids so they can do every day tasks like take a phone call or listen to music directly through their hearing aids. Android P will likely be released to the Google Pixel model line first and then will later be released on other models and manufacturers. Google will reportedly have a session dedicated to Android Accessibility at their annual I/O tech conference where we hope to get more info about this important feature. If you'd like to find out more about how you can use bluetooth with your hearing aids, give us a call and make an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Wikoff.

Since cooking calls for so many nutrition and vitamin supplements OUT of food, you automatically begin feeding the body what it requires when you quit cooking food and begin eating raw, nutrient-rich food. A natural carrot offers exponentially even more nutrition than the usual cooked carrot.
Cooking likewise alters the chemistry of foods, frequently making them harder to break down. Why do we possess so many an issue with digestion in this nation? Because we are putting food into the body in a type that we were not designed to absorb. High dietary fiber, high water content new produce abolishes constipation from the bowels, skin cells and circulatory system. Interferences are removed and blood circulation increases with each and every cell phone in the body. Improved blood flow is usually significant for 2 reasons: as stated above, blood provides nutrients and oxygen to living skin cells, and bears away their particular toxic metabolites.
Obesity is definitely endemic with this country. The diet program industry much more profitable compared to the oil businesses. Why? Since the way we consume and put together our meals practically ensures that we will overeat. Individuals tell us that people overeat since our spirits are starving. But in fact, our bodies will be hungry, although we may experience full. When you begin giving your system the nutrition it desires, overeating will certainly cease.
Consuming raw food is an increase to your rate of metabolism as well. It requires a little more strength to process raw food, but a fresh healthy procedure. Rather than spending energy to rid by itself of poisons produced by preparing food, the body uses its strength to give food to every mobile phone, sending supplements, fluids, digestive enzymes and air to make the body the effective machine it had been intended to be.
You will naturally prevent overeating, your own body and brain will not be depriving for the nutrients they require. A famished brain can trigger the thoughts which make you overindulge. The brain as well as the rest of your system don’t want quantity; they want quality.

Several have alleged Tamenglong ADC Small Town Committee of negligence as residents and shopkeepers along Tamenglong bazaar dump solid wastes at several places in the town bazaar area in Tamenglong district.
Huge piles of solid wastes are seen near Rani Gaidinliu Women Market in Tamenglong district headquarters.
The Traders Association Tamenglong (TAT) said that the traders in Tamenglong town have been facing a lot of issues due to the irregularity of waste collection and solid waste management despite regular collection of fees by ADC Small Town Committee.
All the residents and shopkeepers do not have a proper place to dump wastes. As a result, some resort to burning the garbage, giving rise to pollution and other health hazards.
“You will inhale the smoke while getting up in the morning, and by evening time, you will see plastics, asbestos and other wastes being burned with smoke,” TAT said, speaking to the Imphal Free Press.
TAT secretary Abuana Newmai told the IFP that traders’ association has been urging the department concerned but hardly any changes are seen till date.”
Newmai said that TAT may plan to boycott the collection of charges in the coming days as an act of protest against the department.
Earlier, the department had only one dumper /tipper truck which used to cater the service although not on a regular basis, he said.
However, right after the election, the department had brought two brand new tipper trucks, raising hopes among the public that the service would be improved but nothing has changed till date, he added.
“We will not be surprised to see a lot of pollution and hazardous conditions in the coming days if we still continue to move on in this trend,” he added.
The traders also alleged that the solid wastes were collected only once in a month; sometimes solid wastes were collected once in two months.
When contacted, Tamenglong ADC Small Town Committee extension officer Ningthung Panmei said that due to dilapidated condition of the roads, the frequency of the waste collection has reduced.
The frequent changing of the chief executive officer, ADC Tamenglong also hampered collection of solid wastes in the town, he added.

Mapiko is a traditional masked dance performed exclusively by the male members of the Makonde community living in northern Mozambique. During the Mozambican War of Independence in the 1960s, this dance became a tool to challenge colonization. His Mapiko dancing skills gave Atanásio Nyusi the opportunity to become a professional dancer and avoid fighting in the civil war that followed independence. In relating his life story, the now legendary dancer also leads us through the history of Mozambique.
Completely concealed except for his fingers and toes and wearing a frightening mask, a man dances to tell the story of Lipanyangule, a mystical figure who eats children. The dance is choreographed by Nyusi, and it communicates not only the ancient legend itself, but also his own history, and that of his people and country. Are the memories in his head real, or are they nightmares? In the sparse but effectively used archive footage, we see flashes of Mozambique’s colonial past, independence struggle and civil war in a dynamic interplay with the dance. As Nyusi shares his story with his son, he offers an in-depth look at the country’s collective memories while working towards leaving his own legacy as an artist.
“The film really comes down to connecting past, present and future: knowing the past, to understand the present and to imagine the future.”
“A wicked cool arts doc about the power of dance. It’s a story of resistance and of keeping cultural identity alive through the arts.” Pat Mullen, POV magazine
“Atanásio makes for a wonderful subject… stark and often beautiful imagery… a film that is about preserving not only our stories, but it’s about preserving the ways that we all uniquely express ourselves.” David Voigt, In the Seats

ATLANTA (AP) - Angel McCoughtry has no regrets about becoming the latest WNBA player to sit out the season to rest and recover from playing professional basketball year-round.
"I'm not waking up aching, nothing is hurting right now," said the 30-year-old Atlanta Dream forward. "It's a good feeling."
Having not played in a game since May, McCoughtry said she is physically ready for a return to basketball. She will start playing again late next month at a USA Basketball camp in California before returning to Russia in October to join the EuroLeague's Dynamo Kursk. McCoughtry has been playing year-round in the WNBA and overseas for eight straight years and said she felt the nonstop grind was starting to take its toll.
McCouhtry decided to sit out the 2017 WNBA season to recover, both physically and mentally, in an effort to prolong her career. Candace Parker sat out part of the 2015 season to rest and Diana Taurasi missed the entire 2015 season.
McCoughtry said she was dealing with with pain from plantar fasciitis and tendinitis, so she announced her decision in January.
"We need that" rest, said McCoughtry, who said she has followed the Dream and even attended a game last week. "Who can play basketball all year with no break for years and years and years? We're not machines, we're not robots. It's (illogical), so you really need that time off just for your mental, number one, and then for your body."
McCoughtry said mentally she is relishing her longest break from the game since college. During her time off, she has taken a trip to Africa with her partner Brande Serrano, tried boxing and yoga to stay in shape and opened her own ice cream stop.
The shop is called McCoughtry's and is located in Atlanta's Castleberry Hill area. McCoughtry said she was inspired to open an ice cream shop by her sweet tooth. Other WNBA players - Seattle Storm's Sue Bird, Minnesota's Maya Moore, Los Angeles' Alana Beard and Indiana's Marissa Coleman - have also invested in the food industry .
McCoughtry secured the space for shop, bought the necessary equipment and learned how to make ice cream through YouTube tutorials. She said much of her training to run the shop has been on the job. For example, she said flavors she thought would be a hit, like coffee, Snickers and peach did not sell, while blueberry cheesecake and banana pudding have been customer favorites.
The shop opened in June, but McCoughtry said she came up with the idea more than two years ago. She added the timing of its opening and her sitting out the season is just a coincidence.
It's no coincidence, however, that the Dream has struggled without their leading scorer. McCoughtry has averaged 19.5 points, five rebounds and three assists per game in her Atlanta career.
Atlanta (10-19) has lost its last eight games and the Dream's playoff hopes are fading.
Despite how the season has played out, the Dream say they respect McCoughtry's decision. The team placed the franchise tag on McCoughtry after the announcement and McCoughtry said co-owner Mary Brock was an early visitor to the ice cream shop.
"Angel has decided to take the time she feels she needs for her long-term health," Brock said in an emailed statement to The Associated Press. "We respect her decision and look forward to her return. I am proud of her venture off the court and wish her luck in bringing a new small business to the city of Atlanta."
McCoughtry said she didn't totally step away from the game during the break, noting that she's been working out. But even if the Dream reach the playoffs, she said she wouldn't try to return.
"If I just came back for playoffs, I don't think that would be fair to everybody who has played the whole year," McCoughtry said. "I don't think that's fair. I would do it the right way, and come back next year."
But she once again be playing overseas before the WNBA season tips off, and has her sights on the 2018 FIBA World Cup in Spain next summer.
McCoughtry said there's no doubt the time off has been good for her, "but everybody needs to be ready for the return," she added, with a laugh.

Abstract: The stabilization of different types of problematic soils such as expansive soil, soft soil, contaminated soils etc. by using various chemical stabilizers such as lime and cement is well known techniques in the field of geotechnical engineering and ground improvement and has been practiced since last several decades. Lime and cement which are used to bind problematic soil particles are found to be ineffective in soils containing significant amount of sulfate in them due to alteration of cementitious compounds. Further, stabilization of soils with lime is not seemed to be an environmental friendly. Hence, efforts have been made to utilize the waste by–products such as fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag etc. in large scale to stabilize soils; proper utilization of waste materials reduces the higher cost of calcium based additives, and is fruitful to embrace sustainable development and safe ecosystem for environmental friendly construction operations. These stabilization methods can be effectively used for various geotechnical applications such as base course for flexible pavements, construction of embankments, as cushion between expansive soils and foundation, improve properties of marine soils, foundations on expansive soils and waste dumps, as liner applications for waste disposal facilities, stabilization of slopes, etc. Hence, the aim of present paper is to review pozzolanic agents, such as fly ash, GGBS, alone or in combination with various chemical additives such as lime, cement and gypsum, in order to assess their effectiveness in improving the properties of soils. It has been observed that utilization of waste binders along with minimal use of chemical lime and gypsum lead to improve the strength behaviour of soils with curing periods. Use of the waste materials not conserve the natural resources but also have several technical advantages. It can suppress the negative effect of sulphate, can enhance the properties beyond optimum lime content.
Several ground improvement techniques such as mechanical stabilization, chemical stabilization, columnar injection, preloading, asphalt stabilization and use of reinforcing materials are practiced frequently to modify and stabilize the soils for suitable construction purpose. Vibro-compaction which increases the density of the soil by using powerful depth vibrators, vacuum consolidation which can improve soft soils by using a vacuum pump, preloading which can be used to remove pore water over time, heating to form a crystalline or glass product by electric current, ground freezing which converts pore water to ice to increase their combined strength and make them impervious, vibro replacement stone columns improve the bearing capacity of soil, vibro displacement method which displaces the soil, electro osmosis which makes water flow through fine grained soils, electro kinetic stabilization by the application of electro osmosis, reinforced soil steel for retaining structures, sloping walls, dams etc., seismic loading for construction in seismically active regions have been used to improve the properties of soils. Mechanically stabilized earth structures create a reinforced soil mass. Other methods such as geo-methods (use of geosynthetics, geogrid, geotextiles etc.), soil nailing, grouting, micro-pile are also been practiced to increase the shear strength, rigidity of the in-situ soil and to restrain its displacement. However, soil stabilization, particularly by using chemical and waste stabilizers, is different from all these ground improvement technique in which the soil properties are improved by blending of soil particles by mixing other materials. Soil stabilization depends mainly on chemical reactions between stabilizer and soil minerals (pozzolanic stabilization) to achieve the desired effect. The purpose of stabilization is to improve the strength and volume stability but may be to enhance or reduce permeability of soils. This facilitates construction of pavements, embankments, reinforced earth structures, railways, bulk fill applications, housing and industrial units on soils where they were not technically feasible or not economically viable. Further, stabilization can often reduce significantly the time taken to complete a project and reduce tipping or need to import. The process also enables wet ground to be dried and strengthened for immediate use. Soil stabilization has transferred into the most cost effective and viable method for preparation of sites for all most all construction projects. Several types of techniques and stabilizers such as traditional ones (hydrated lime, Portland cement, and fly ash), byproducts (cement kiln dust, lime kiln dust, and other forms of by product lime), and non–traditional (sulfonated oils, potassium compounds, ammonium chloride, enzymes, polymers) and their combinations, are widely used to improve the properties of expansive soils to meet specific design criterion (Chen, 2012; Cokca, 2001). Soil stabilization using lime is the most widely used method for drying a wet site and improve their engineering behaviour. Historically lime stabilization is in vogue from early Raman period for construction of roads. Cement and lime are consistently used to stabilize soils rapidly for road and airfield applications by military, but recent developments showed several nontraditional stabilizers have been used successfully. There are significant developments in stabilization of soils not for road construction and is not restricted to conventional stabilizers.
With advancements in the applications of stabilizers by deep injection technique, there are several innovative applications of stabilization. But there are certain types of problematic soils which do not respond well to conventional stabilizers. All there is an urgent need to use solid industrial wastes (fly ash, GGBS, rice husk ash) to reduce the cost of their disposal apart from reducing the land area requirement and environmental issues. This also can reduce the cost of stabilization. The use of these wastes requires knowledge about the soils as well as the properties of waste materials. Efforts made to stabilize different problematic soils such as expansive soils with different types of binders and binder combinations and optimize their proportions are presented in this paper.
Fundamental Behind Clay Behavior
The behavior of fine grained soils is much more complex and variable compared to coarse grained soils. The fine grained soil systems undergoes more volume changes, i.e. swell or shrink on wetting and drying, and is influenced by ionic concentration or composition. Very often fine grained soils exhibit unexpected properties/behavior. Four such cases – (1) The aging of quick clay after sampling, in which the remolded strength increased in samples maintained at constant water content; (2) time effects in freshly densified or deposited sand, in which natural sand deposits can lose strength if disturbed but regain strength over time periods of weeks to months; (3) apparently sound lime-stabilized soil that swells and disintegrates starting a few years after construction; and (4) the failure of excess pore pressures to dissipate as predicted during the consolidation of soft clays – are described by Mitchell (1986) and reinforced that soils are not inert materials and they can change with time and sensitive to environmental changes. To understand and also overcome the problems created by unexpected changes in soil behavior, it is necessary to consider the factors that influence their behavior, not only to deal with them and even forecast well in advance. An attempt is made to present briefly the factors that control the behavior of fine grained soils more particularly those of the clays.
Three mechanisms for clay mineral formation (inheritance, neo-formation and transformation) operating in three geological environments (weathering, sedimentary, and diagenetic-hydrothermal) yield nine possibilities for the origin of clay minerals in nature. The mineralogy of clays neoformed in the weathering environment is a function of solution chemistry, with the most dilute solutions favoring formation of the least soluble clays. After erosion and transportation, these clays may be deposited on the ocean floor in a lateral sequence that depends on floccule size. Clays undergo little reaction in the ocean, except for ion exchange and the neoformation of smectite; therefore, most clay found on the ocean floor is inherited from adjacent continents. Upon burial and heating, however, dioctahedral smectite reacts in the diagenetic environment to yield mixed-layer illite-smectite, and finally illite. With uplift and weathering, the cycle begins again.
Clay Mineral Structure
Clay minerals are layer silicates that are formed usually as products of chemical weathering of other silicate minerals at the earth’s surface (Wilson, 1999). They are found most often in shales, the most common type of sedimentary rock. In cool, dry, or temperate climates, clay minerals are fairly stable and are an important component of soil. There are many types of known clay minerals (Fig. 1) (Madejová, 2003; Mitchell, 1986).
Some of the more common types are:
Kaolinite: This clay mineral is the weathering product of feldspars. It has a white, powdery appearance. Because kaolinite is electrically balanced, its ability of adsorb ions is less than that of other clay minerals.
Illite: Resembles muscovite in mineral composition, only finer-grained. It is the weathering product of feldspars and felsic silicates.
Chlorite: This clay mineral is the weathering product of mafic silicates and is stable in cool, dry, or temperate climates. It occurs along with illite in mid-western soils. It is also found in some metamorphic rocks, such as chlorite schist.
Vermiculite: This clay mineral has the ability to adsorb water, but not repeatedly.
Smectite: This clay mineral is the weathering product of mafic silicates, and is stable in arid, semi-arid, or temperate climates. It was formerly known as montmorillonite. Smectite has the ability to adsorb large amounts of water, forming a water-tight barrier, and the chemical industry. There are two main varieties of smectite, a) sodium smectite (the high-swelling form of smectite, which can adsorb up to 18 layers of water molecules between layers of clay) and b) calcium smectite (the low-swelling form of smectite adsorbs less water than does sodium smectite).
Attapulgite: This mineral actually resembles the amphiboles more than it does clay minerals, but has a special property that smectite lacks – as a drilling fluid, it stable in salt water environments. When drilling for offshore oil, conventional drilling mud falls apart in the presence of salt water.
In humid tropical climates, clay minerals are unstable and break down under intense chemical weathering to become hydrated oxides of aluminum (bauxite) and iron (goethite).
Schematic structure of most common clay minerals are given in Fig. 1.
Interstratification in Phyllosilicates
The properties and compositions of some mineral colloids are intermediate between those of well-defined minerals such as kaolinite and smectite as described in above. Such minerals are referred to as mixed-layer or interstratified minerals. Most mixed-layer clays contain smectite or vermiculite as a swelling component (Srodon, 1999). Partial removal of interlayer potassium from micas or of interlayer hydroxide from chlorite is one way that interstratification minerals can form in soils (April, 1980). Other possibilities include i) fixation of adsorbed K+ by some vermiculite layers to yield mica-like layers, and ii) the formation of hydroxide interlayers to produce chlorite- like layers. Interstratification of layers can be regular or random  as given below:
1) A periodic alternation of layers of two types A and B refers to regular or ordered mixed-layers: ABABAB…. or AABAABAAB…
2) A random alteration of each type of layer corresponds to irregular and randomly mixed-layered clays: AABABBBAAABAABA.
Illite-smectite is the most interesting mixed-layer clays (Fig. 1). They are quite ubiquitous, well known from a chemical standpoint and exhibit a mineralogical variation that responds to pressure–temperature variations during diagenesis.
Clay minerals act as “chemical sponges” which hold water and dissolved plant nutrients weathered from other minerals (Al-Ani and Sarapää, 2008). This results from the presence of unbalanced electrical charges on the surface of clay grains, such that some surfaces are positively charged (and thus attract negatively charged ions), while other surfaces are negatively charged (attract positively charged ions). Clay minerals also have the ability to attract water molecules. Because this attraction is a surface phenomenon, it is called adsorption (which is different from absorption because the ions and water are not attracted deep inside the clay grains) (Al-Ani and Sarapää, 2008). Clay minerals resemble the micas in chemical composition, except they are very fine grained, usually microscopic. Like the micas, clay minerals are shaped like flakes with irregular edges and one smooth side.
The composition of individual particles in an element of soil is an important characteristic of soil. This belief is true as far as a fundamental understanding of soil behaviour is concerned. The nature and arrangement of the atom in soil particle– i.e., composition– has a significant influence on the permeability, compressibility, and strength and stress transmission in soils, especially in fine-grained soils. Thus, it is needed to study soil composition if it is needed to understand the fundamentals of clay behaviour and particularly the dependence of this behaviour on time, pressure, and environment.
Stabilization of Soils
The stabilization or, treatment of problematic soil generally refers the conversion of soil particles to rigid granular materials that can resist the internal swelling pressure of the clay, and restriction of the movement of moisture within the soil to control the seasonal variations (Al–Rawas & Goosen, 2006). The long-term performance of any construction project depends on the soundness of the underlying soils. Unstable soils can create significant problems for pavements or structures. Hence, there is a great need to stabilize these unstable soils to improve its engineering properties due to limited financial resources and to utilize the locally available soil to the full extent. Soil stabilization means the improvement of stability or bearing power of the soil by the use of controlled compaction, proportioning and/or the addition of suitable admixture or stabilizers. Broadly, it refers to any chemical or mechanical treatment given to a mass of soil to improve or maintain its engineering properties. Soil stabilization is widely used in connection with road, pavement and foundation construction to improve the Strength, Volume stability and Durability of the soil. The basic principles of soil stabilization consists of evaluating the properties of given soil, deciding the lacking property of soil and choose effective and economical method of soil stabilization and designing the stabilized soil mix for intended stability and durability values. Regardless of the purpose for stabilization, the desired result is the creation of a soil material or soil system that will remain in place under the design use conditions for the design life of the project.
Soil stabilization finds its way to a number of applications like increase of bearing capacity for foundation requirements, improvement of sub-grade properties for road constructions, increasing stability of slopes, embankment constructions etc. Weak compressible soils deposits are often found near the mouths of rivers, along the perimeters of bays, and beneath swamps or lagoons. Soil deposits with high organic content are often found in these low lying types of locations and can be especially troublesome for construction activities. Their compressibility needs to be decreased and strength increased to perform construction activities on such soils.
A successful construction of highways requires the construction of a structure that is capable of carrying the imposed traffic loads. One of the most important layers of the road is the actual foundation, or subgrade. Where the subgrade is founded in an inherently weak soil, this material is typically then removed and replaced with a stronger granular material. This “remove and replace” technique can be both costly and time consuming. An alternative to the “remove and replace” option is to chemically stabilize the host material. This eliminates the requirement to replace the material, and ensures the engineering characteristics and performance of the host material is enhanced to allow for its use within the pavement structure. However, method of stabilization particularly with chemical stabilizers depends mainly on the mineralogical and chemical composition of soils. Proper precautions should be required prior to use of different chemical stabilizers alone or in the combination of various waste binders such as fly ash and GGBS. The stabilization of some of the challenging soils and their mechanism are explained briefly in the following sections.
A pozzolan is a siliceous material, which will react with lime to form cementitious compounds. For production of cementitious compounds, silica in amorphous or non crystalline form is more effective. Lime, cement and fly ash have been extensively used to improve the properties of expansive soils. While lime reacts with soil silica to produce cementitious compounds, these compounds are readily available in Portland cement. However, cement is mainly used as pre-treatment before lime stabilization of expansive soils. Fly ashes often contain both lime and reactive silica and produce cementitious compounds in the presence water. There are three different types of fly ashes from the consideration of pozzolanic nature – self pozzolanic, pozzolanic and non pozzolanic. The reactive silica content of fly ash plays an important role in the pozzolanic properties of fly ash. Fly ashes with good reactive silica content and sufficient lime content are called self pozzolanic (Sivapullaiah et al. 1998; Sivapullaiah et al. 2000). Fly ashes containing reactive silica but in adequate lime content are pozzolanic and develop good strength with addition of lime. Methods are available for optimizing lime content (Sivapullaiah et al., 1996). Fly ashes without reactive silica cannot develop strength even with addition lime and are called non pozzolanic.
Strength of Fly Ash and Fly Ash-Lime and Fly ash-Lime-Gypsum Stabilization
Silica, alumina and secondary oxides of calcium, magnesium, iron and sulfur are the most common minerals found in fly ash. Further, fly ash generally contains silty sized particles and with addition of fly ash to soil causes replacement of clayey sized particles of soils. This results an improvement in gradation of soil matrix and thereby, improving strength of soil with increase in fly ash content (Class “F) in combination with lime and gypsum (Fig. 2). Calcium oxide is the important chemical component of fly ash for soil modification. Calcium oxides in presence of water dissociates into calcium cations and hydroxide anions. On dissociation calcium cations pozzolanically react with chemical compounds found in soil to form cementitious materials. In pozzolanic reactions siliceous material reacts in presence of moisture and calcium to form compounds having cementitious properties. The more the calcium cations is available the greater the degree of soil modification. Silica, alumina, magnesium and iron oxide are the non calcium oxides found in fly ash are inert material. But these oxides can react in presence of sufficient amount of calcium cations to form cementitious materials. The formation of cementitious compounds leads to the improvement in strength in expansive soils (Fig. 2). However, addition of small gypsum to lime treated soil with fly ash causes acceleration in pozzolanic reactions and thereby drastically increase in short term strength (Sivapullaiah and Jha, 2014). The addition of gypsum to soil causes formation of ettringite crystals along with cementitious compounds, which reinforce the soil matrix together and thereby, enhancing the strength of soil at shorter curing periods (Fig. 3).
The method of mixing of fly ash with soil is shown in Fig. 4.
Strength of Expansive soil with waste Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS)
GGBS is an industrial waste obtained by quenching molten iron blast-furnace slag in water or steam. GGBS, with an annual production of about 15 Mt, is mainly used in concrete manufacturing plants for partial replacement of cement in concrete. However, this utilization rate for GGBS only amounts to 55% (Singh et al., 2008).
The unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of expansive soil (Fig. 5) increases with the addition of small amount of GGBS up to about 10% GGBS and remains constant up about 40% and thereafter decreases with further increase in GGBS content. The variations in strength can be explained by the factors: 1. Decrease in the cohesion of the soil due to addition of frictional materials; 2. Improved strength due cementation of pozzolanic compounds produced; 3. The variations in compaction parameters as the soil GGBS mixtures are compacted to their respective Proctor’s optimum conditions; 4. Coating of GGBS by soil particles (Sharma and Sivapullaiah, 2012).
Fly ash has been used successfully in several projects to improve the compressive and shear strength soils for stabilising bases or subgrades, to stabilize backfill to reduce lateral earth pressures and to stabilize embankments to improve slope stability. Typically stabilized soil depths vary between 15 and 46 cms. The compressive strength of fly ash treated soils is dependent on:
– In-place soil properties
– Delay time
– Moisture content at time of compaction
– Fly ash addition ratio
Another important reason for using fly ash over cement in stabilisation is its advantages of delay time, which is time time lapsed between wet mixing and compaction (sivapullaiah et al 1998).
Ground granulated blast furnace slag amended fly ash as an expansive soil stabilizer
Both fly ash and GGBS possesses reactive silica and lime. Though both are pozzolanic materials, for the reaction products to gain maximum strength an optimum ratio of reactive silica to lime is required. Thus the attempt is made to mix two pozzolanic materials which individually have different amounts of reactive silica and lime. The possibility is that one component present in excess in one material will be utilized by the other which is in need of the same and vice-versa. However, there is a wide variation in the chemical properties of fly ash and GGBS. Fly ash is low in calcium oxide content but rich in silica and alumina while GGBS is relatively high in calcium oxide. The combination of these two materials can be more beneficial when used as a stabilizing agent than using them individually. Each can provide sufficient lime or silica to support pozzolanic reaction, thereby requiring lower amounts of chemical activators. Studies relating to the alkali activation of slag/fly ash mixtures in blended cements and concretes have been carried out by few researchers (Bijen and Waltje, 1989; Puertas et al., 2000; Shi and Day, 1999).
Fig. 6 shows the variation of the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of treated expansive soil (without lime) for different curing periods in relation to the percentage of the binder (mixture of fly ash and GGBS) (Sharma and Sivapullaiah, 2016). It can be seen that strength increases up to 20% of the binder content and then decreases thereafter. This trend is similar for all the curing periods. For the same percentage of binder, the strength of the samples was found to be directly proportional to the curing period. The formation of cementitious compounds [such as calcium–silicate–hydrates (C–S–H), calcium–aluminate–hydrates (C–A–H), and calcium-aluminium–silicate–hydrates (C–A–S–H)] in the soil–binder matrix is responsible for the increase in the unconfined compressive strength of the stabilized soil (Fig. 7 and 8). However, the addition of binder beyond 20% gave a reduction in strength. For stabilized soils with greater binder contents, the pozzolanic reaction does not occur and the added binder particles act as unbonded particles that reduce the overall strength of the material (Bell, 1996; Kate, 2005). However, the strength of the stabilized soil with high binder contents is still greater than that of untreated soil.
Fly ash and GGBS (constituents of the binder) have very little self-hardening properties in the absence of any chemical activators such as lime or cement (Kaniraj and Havanagi, 1999). This is best illustrated in Fig. 8 where 1% lime is added along with the binder. The samples attain significant strength and the gain depends on the amount of the binder and curing period (Fig. 9). The addition of lime enhances the pozzolanic reaction that provides extra strength to the soil–binder mixture due to the formation of a cemented matrix (Fig. 7 and 8). The strength of the samples is again found to decrease slightly beyond 20% of binder content. However, unlike in the earlier case where the strength continuously decreases, the sample regains strength after the addition of 30% of binder. This implies that the addition of lime helps in binding the unbonded silt particles that were responsible for strength reduction. Therefore, based on the unconfined compressive strength behaviour with and without lime, the addition of 20% binder is recommended as an optimum content to effectively stabilize this expansive soil.
Several industrial solid waste materials can be advantageously be used to improve the properties of problematic soils.
They also can be used to improve the properties of soil beyond what can be achieved with conventional binders.
Fly ash has been widely used to stabilize soils for construction of pavements and embankments.
Fly ash has also advantages in stabilisation of soils containing sulphate etc.
Fly ash has favorable delay in curing period.
GGBS can also be used to stabilize soils. Use of combinations of Fly ash and GGBS reduces lime requirement for fly ash in stabilizing soils.

Will you be making sweets for the sweeties in your life this Valentine's Day? If so, I invite you to consider baking a batch of these easy and festive Raspberry Hazelnut Hearts. Crispy, hazelnut-y and filled with raspberry jam, this tasty little butter cookie has the potential to become a year round fika favorite.
To give credit where credit is due, a variation of heart-shaped thumbprint cookies grace the cover of the January/February 2020 issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine. I've been meaning to add a jam thumbprint cookie to the blog for awhile (they are a traditional Scandinavian fika treat after all) and this seemed like the perfect opportunity to develop my own recipe but with sweet heart-shaped vibes that would be perfect for a February fika treat.
I began by doing my research on Swedish jam thumbprint cookies. According to the charming book Fika by Anna Brones and Johanna Kindvall, jam thumbprints in Sweden are known as syltgrottor which literally translates to "jam caves". They are softer and lighter than their American counterparts and are baked in a small paper liner. In her book, Scandinavian Classic Baking, Pat Sinclair has a recipe for hazelnut thumbprints baked in a more traditional American style. I decided to use that as my model but with those sweet little heart shapes in the middle rather than the traditional thumbprint.
The recipe itself is largely adapted from The Perfect Cookie by America's Test Kitchen and is incredibly simple and straightforward. Toasted hazelnuts are ground together with flour and salt and added to creamed butter and sugar and an egg yolk. This creates an exceptionally fragrant, crispy hazelnut butter cookie that is the perfect home for a dollop of raspberry jam.
As fancy as those heart shapes in the center of the cookie look, they are deceptively simple to create. Simply use an eating utensil with a flat end or the inside end of a rubber spatula (see photo below) to create a deep "V" in the center of each cookie. The V will open up during baking to create a heart shape. It's as easy as can be!
This recipe is so fun and easy to make and hits all the right Valentine's Day notes. Of course you could choose to make a round divot in the center of each cookie for a traditional thumbprint if you would rather. If you decide to go that route, you can use your thumb to make a spot for the jam (obviously) or the back of a rounded teaspoon works well, too. But if it's February, why not make hearts, right?
I really hope you give these easy Raspberry Hazelnut Hearts a try. They come together in a snap and are a sweet and creative way to let those cookie-loving people in your life know how much you care about them. Happy Valentine's Day!
Raspberry Hazelnut Hearts
- Adjust oven racks to upper and lower middle positions and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Toast in the oven until golden and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Transfer nuts to a clean kitchen towel and wrap them inside allowing the nuts to steam for a minute or so. Rub the nuts between the kitchen towel to remove the skins (don’t worry if all the skins don’t come off).
- Transfer toasted hazelnuts to a food processor along with flour and salt. Process until mixture is finely ground.
- Place butter and sugar in the work bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on medium until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg yolk and extracts and mix until fully combined. Slowly add flour and hazelnut mixture and mix on low until just combined.
- Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop 12 tablespoons of dough onto each baking sheet and roll each tablespoon of dough into a ball leaving at least an inch and a half of space between each cookie. Using the flat edge of an eating utensil or rubber spatula, create a deep V shape in the center of each cookie (for heart-shaped thumbprints) or press the back of a rounded teaspoon in the center of each cookie (for traditional thumbprints).
- Bake cookies for 16-18 minutes or until golden brown, rotating baking sheets halfway through. Cool cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make the raspberry filling. Heat jam in a saucepan over medium low heat until bubbling. Pour through a fine mesh strainer and discard seeds. Spoon jam into the center of cooled cookies (or use a squeeze bottle or piping bag for more precision). Allow jam to set slightly before serving. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

Michigan. They includes a cathode materials plant by Toda America, battery testing facilities by AVL and A&D Technology, electric motor components by Magna, energy-storage solutions by Xtreme Power, and electric drive-train testing by Eaton.
Many small Michigan companies now also belong to this supply chain. “There are a number of suppliers in this state actively getting contracts and engaged in this industry that we’re not even aware of,” Mr. Shreffler said. “We have to go to conferences in Florida and California to meet with them and find out they are doing this.” Going forward, the MEDC team will start focusing on “understanding the full depth and breadth of what is happening with all of the companies here,” he said. It also will try to “build out this eco-system with Michigan-based companies.”
The energy storage drive is important for a number of reasons, Mr. Shreffler said. It is establishing a domestic source for high-energy, high-power batteries needed by the U.S. transportation industry and Department of Defense. Having the center of gravity in the U.S. also spurs new economic expansion and development opportunities from transportation-focused companies and “creates a foundation for building out a sustainable ecosystem over time,” he said. It also provides further opportunities for collaboration between private industry and Michigan universities.
Now the MEDC is developing the next steps to advance the battery industry. Mr. Shreffler recalled attending a board meeting where incentives were being discussed. An executive asked: “Now that you have taken care of batteries, what are you going to do next?” In reality, “we are really viewing this is as just the beginning,” Mr. Shreffler said. “The hard work is yet to come. The easy part was working with great companies to establish opportunities here.”
One focus is to look at “dual-use” opportunities for companies in the battery industry. The military is a major potential market for Michigan manufacturers. Energy storage for the grid is another major focus. “All of this is to the end of trying to help our cell manufacturers have long-term sustainability and begin to rapidly drive down the cost curve so that the battery technology is accessible to where it is needed,” Mr. Shreffler said.
The MEDC will continue to reassess its “economic tool kit” because the industry is in a new phase, he said. What’s more, two-thirds of Michigan’s legislature is set to turn over and a new governor will be elected. The MEDC will work to educate new officials on what has been done, what needs to be done, and what further tools are needed, he said. It also will continue to advocate for strong policy at the federal level to make sure the industry keeps moving forward. “It all is about execution,” Mr. Shreffler said. “We have to execute as an economic development agency. Our cell manufacturers and suppliers must execute to build out their capacity. The federal government has to execute on not abandoning the path that we’ve gone down.”
One next step is to strengthen what the MEDC calls “the alliance.” The goal is to align state initiatives, especially in batteries and advanced materials, with the priorities of federal agencies such as the Energy and Defense departments

Today’s dose of reefer madness comes from Chet Phillipe, who has been employed for the past 35 years in the treatment of substance addiction and 12 years of teaching about substance addiction at College of the Sequoias, Porterville College and Merced College. He lives in Visalia, California.
(Visalia Times-Delta) The issue of medical marijuana is a charade. Consider the following:
Its destructive power: Nicotine is the most addictive drug in the world and kills 400,000-plus people annually. Marijuana is addicting and more dangerous than nicotine because of the euphoric feeling. It’s seven to 14 times more powerful today than in the 1960s.
No it’s not. Marijuana may be twice as potent as it was in the 1960s, if that. And marijuana kills how many people annually? Oh, yeah, zero. For a substance abuse expert, you sure seem ignorant about the nature of addiction. According to Jack E. Henningfield’s evaluation of addictiveness for the National Institutes on Drug Abuse, here is a comparison on the addictive qualities of nicotine vs. cannabis, and for fun, let’s look at the caffeine we ingest regularly in coffee and sodas:
|Addictive Qualities and Threat of Danger scored from 1 (Least Serious Threat) to 6 (Most Serious Threat)||Tobacco (Nicotine)||Marijuana (Cannabis)||Caffeine (Coffee/Sodas)|
|Withdrawal: Presence and severity of characteristic withdrawal symptoms.||4 (Quite Serious)||1 (Least Serious)||2 (Slightly Serious)|
|Reinforcement: A measure of the substance’s ability, in human and animal tests, to get users
to take it again and again, and in preference to other substances.
|3 (Somewhat Serious)||2 (Slightly Serious)||1 (Least Serious)|
|Tolerance: How much of the substance is needed to satisfy increasing cravings for it, and the level of stable need that is eventually reached.||5 (Very Serious)||1 (Least Serious)||2 (Slightly Serious)|
|Dependence: How difficult it is for the user to quit, the relapse rate, the percentage of people who eventually become dependent, the rating users give their own need for the substance and the degree to which the substance will be used in the face of evidence that it causes harm.||6 (Most Serious)||1 (Least Serious)||2 (Slightly Serious)|
|Intoxication: Though not usually counted as a measure of addiction in itself, the level of intoxication is associated with addiction and increases the personal and social damage a substance may do.||2 (Slightly Serious)||3 (Somewhat Serious)||1 (Least Serious)|
Marijuana causes cancers throughout the respiratory system: nose, throat, mouth, tongue, lungs, breasts, etc.
No, it doesn’t. In fact, a government-funded researcher named Dr. Donald Tashkin tried for thirty years to “expose” the association between marijuana smoking and lung cancer. He instead found “no association and even a suggestion of some protective effect.” Tashkin continued to say, “Early on, when our research appeared as if there would be a negative impact on lung health, I was opposed to legalization because I thought it would lead to increased use and that would lead to increased health effects. But at this point, I’d be in favor of legalization.”
It is instrumental in destroying the body in other ways due to its damaging effects to the immune system.
Which is why tens of thousands of doctors have recommended medical marijuana for their HIV/AIDS patients with their severely compromised immune systems
It is physically and psychologically addictive. Addiction requires withdrawal.
Because marijuana is fat-soluble, marijuana leaves the system gradually. It does not “feel” like withdrawal. It feels like the flu.Marijuana withdrawal symptoms (withdrawal of a drug means physical addiction): Irritability, Anxiety, Physical tension, Heavy perspiration, Confusion, Auditory hallucinations, Depression, Fatigue, Decrease in appetite and mood, Headaches, Double vision, and Apathy.
So marijuana is a terribly physically addictive drug, but when you stop using it, it doesn’t feel like withdrawal. Not like, say, heroin, where withdrawal feels like you’re going to die, or alcohol, where you very possibly could die from the withdrawal alone. Plus about half the symptoms Chet lists can’t be found in any serious literature on the matter of marijuana withdrawal and even the ones he’s right on (sleeping problems, sweating, decreased appetite, restlessness, nervousness, and sadness) are only found in less than half of those cannabis users deemed “addicted”.
Issues related to marijuana: Serious prenatal damage. (Marijuana has caused deformity in different areas of babies.)
Shockingly untrue. Pre-natal exposure to marijuana does not cause deformities, low birth weight, or cognitive damages.
Impotency after prolonged use. Inability to perform after prolonged use (marijuana is in the testicles).
Which, of course, explains why the Rastafarians died out and you never see any tie-dye-wearing hippie kids any more.
Short-term memory damage first, then transfers to long-term brain damage.
Complete lie. During marijuana impairment, there is a problem with short-term memory. When you’re not high, that problem goes away. There is no long-term brain damage associated even with chronic daily marijuana smoking.
Drooping breasts for the female (a percentage of females depending upon amount and time of use).
Yes, ladies, if you smoke pot until you are eighty years old, your breasts will droop. Of course, if you don’t smoke pot, your breasts will still probably droop at age eighty. This is the first time I’ve ever heard of pot affecting lady boobs, and judging by the many ladies I know who smoke a lot of pot, I will unscientifically declare this to be bullshit (I’d link to a debunking article, but not surprisingly, scientists haven’t done a lot of research into cannabinoid mammary droopage syndrome. However, if there is to be a study, I hereby volunteer for data collection and analysis.)
Floppy breasts for males (a percentage depending upon amount and time of use).
There we go, my old favorite gynecomastia, or the old man boobs from marijuana lie. The theory here is that marijuana use lowers testosterone, therefore the estrogen/testosterone balance is tipped toward the female hormone, and thus toward growing man boobs.
The truth, however, is that gynecomastia is very rare and the more likely cause of man boobs among male stoners is eating junk food and not exercising.
Removes pubic hair, male and female. Removes male chest and facial hair.
Well, that proves it: every porn star and male model is a pothead! Not only is there no research to confirm this wacky notion, but I’m struggling to understand how these effects even fit in a laundry list of reasons not to use marijuana.
Marijuana may involve your death, but you’ll feel better. Deaths have occurred from driving under the influence, aggressive behavior after prolonged use, walking in front of traffic, home incidents, fires, gas leaks, etc.
Who are these violent stoner arsonists who are walking in front of traffic? Every time I compose one of these reefer madness articles, I’m more convinced that marijuana is a terrible drug that will freakishly alter the mind… of the people intent on prohibiting it.


China, Russia to hold joint naval drill in politically sensitive East China Sea
Decision to stage exercise in East China Sea may be a way of showing displeasure at US policies
PUBLISHED : Wednesday, 30 April, 2014, 11:29pm
UPDATED : Thursday, 01 May, 2014, 7:48am
The Ministry of National Defence yesterday confirmed the Chinese-Russia naval manoeuvres, named Joint Sea-2014, would be staged in waters and air space near Shanghai and in the East China Sea.
"The naval drill, which is a regular exercise between the Chinese and Russian navies, aims to deepen pragmatic co-operation between the two militaries as well as to improve their capability to deal with maritime security threats," the ministry said in a statement.
The East China Sea has become more sensitive after Beijing announced the creation of an air defence identification zone in November. The zone includes the disputed Diaoyu Islands, known as the Senkakus in Japan, over which both China and Japan claimed sovereignty, but which are now controlled by Tokyo.


Gulbranson retires after 39 years with the Sheriff's DepartmentNeil Gulbranson previously stated he didn't want a party as he was retiring after 39 years with the Pierce County Sheriff's Department.
By: Jason Schulte, Pierce County Herald
Neil Gulbranson previously stated he didn't want a party as he was retiring after 39 years with the Pierce County Sheriff's Department.
Colleagues convinced him otherwise and then showed how much his work was appreciated and how much he will be missed.
"Neil has been the backbone of the sheriff’s department for many years. It is a great loss but we are very happy for him. All I can say is Thank You!!!”, said Sheriff Nancy Hove, who presented him with a plaque.
He also received commendations Thursday from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. House Representative Ron Kind and a flag that was flown over the U.S. Capitol.
"I appreciate all you people coming and you have been so nice over the years," he said.
Gulbranson spent the last 27 years as Chief Deputy. His last day is Friday. Jason Matthys was named as his successor and will start Saturday.
For more please read the June 27 print version of the Herald.

Ray-Art Studios, an emerging entertainment production facility in the West Valley, just wrapped up its first feature film project.
The studio, which opened two years ago in Canoga Park, had been specializing in renting sound stage space to TV productions, such as "The Love Boat" and "Nothing Sacred."
But with the completion this month of "The Storytellers," a comedy about screenwriting, Ray-Art is venturing into new territory. The movie was filmed at the studio, which co-produced it with Da'Lin Films, also based in Canoga Park.
"This is exactly the direction we want to go in," said Shawn Papazian, Ray-Art's director of facilities and co-producer of "The Storytellers."
Ray-Art, located on Variel Avenue, is also undertaking a $10-million expansion. Last week, construction crews began work on two more sound stages and a new mill, a workshop where sets are built. Ray-Art currently has four sound stages and plans to double that number by year's end.
