Bob Hanson has been involved in stock car racing all his life. He's excited about being able to participate in his sport at home in Stevensville.
Cora Cochran is not opposed to motor sport racing; she just doesn't want it across the road from her retirement home.
"We came home from church one Sunday and there was that sign," Cochran says. "It was a terrible shock."
The sign announcing the future of the Bitterroot Valley Motor Sports Association Racetrack sits at a corner of North Kootenai Road on Ed Cumming's 1,100-acre ranch which borders U.S. Highway 93 just north of the Stevensville Wye.
It caused immediate consternation-and reaction-with the Cochrans, who live just across the road from the proposed racetrack, and with other folks in their neighborhood.
"My husband went door-to-door through the neighborhood with a petition. There were only two people who didn't sign it," Cochran says. "We organized BAR-Bitterrooters Against the Racetrack. We have close to 1,500 signatures against the track now."
For Cochran, who is in her 80s, it is not a matter of opposing the sport of motor racing. It is the enjoyment of the home to which she moved 17 years ago and in which she plans to spend the rest of her life.

With Kootenai Canyon and St. Mary's Peak well within earshot of the high-revving engines, the proposed Bitterroot Valley Motor Sports Complex may affect more than the local residents.
But Hanson and other members of the beleaguered BVMSA believe it has found a home, and its members are not backing down in the face of neighborhood objections.
"This time we're working with a private landowner, and he's 100 percent behind us," says Hanson. "We're planning a quality facility with plenty of trees and sound abatement-a place for families."
The BVMSA planned a season of stock car and motorcycle racing in Ravalli County earlier this year. In February, they signed a contract with the Ravalli County Fair Board to lease a 40-acre site on county land next to the fairgrounds. But when the deal was announced, neighborhood reaction was immediate and adamantly opposed to the track.
Citing a lack of public notice for a decision that was of "significant public interest," the county commissioners directed the fair board to rescind the contract. The commissioners then took over consideration of the proposal, with a public comment period and a public meeting. Then they voted unanimously to reject the racetrack, citing the need to use the land for other purposes and the possible incompatibility of the track with a trade center complex, which may be built at the fairgrounds sometime in the future.
The commissioners went on record as supporting the concept of a motor sports complex, but told the group they needed to find an area farther from town that was compatible with the needs of stock car and motorcycle racing.
Now, a few months later, the BVMSA has started construction on the new site. Financial plans and site plans are completed, and the group is acquiring off-highway access to alleviate excess traffic on Kootenai Creek Road. A slate of 15 to 20 events-both stock car and motorcycle races-is planned for May through September of next year.
For her part, Cochran wants the group to consider finding a third location "away from Kootenai Creek Road." "To think they would use such beautiful country like that," she says. "We're not against racing. It should just be out where there are no residences."
But in Ravalli County, the fastest-growing county in Montana, finding an uninhabited area without residential neighbors is getting to be an impossibility. And because the county does not have a comprehensive plan or any county-wide planning/zoning regulations, conflicts inevitably occur.
Last week, Bitterrooters for Planning, a local grassroots organization, took out quarter-page ads in two local newspapers. A map of the county showed stock cars alongside the name of each town. "Motor Racetrack Complex. Coming to a location near you?" was the accompanying text.
BFP president Stewart Brandborg says the ad was not against motor sports, per se; it was to point out the complete lack of planning in the county and the possibility of future conflict if a county-wide comprehensive plan is not adopted soon.
"We had a lot of fine response to the ad," Brandborg says. "We're not against a racetrack. We're just talking about the proper place to put it and other development. These things need to be done within a planning perspective. How do we proceed in the absence of planning?"
Brandborg and his group want the commissioners to take the existing summary of a county plan back to the planning board for revision and review. Following a final series of public meetings, he says, it would be desirable for the commissioners to finally adopt such a plan.
"Private property rights are being jeopardized by what is going on," Brandborg notes. "Planning protects private property rights. The racetrack issue brings a sharp focus to these problems."
Hanson says the BVMSA wants everyone to know how the track will benefit the community. The group has already approached driver education teachers and other groups who may be able to use the track. He anticipates car shows, swap meets and other community events at the track in the future.
Cochran, meanwhile, says BAR members have written numerous personal letters to Cumming, the leasing landowner, but have not had any positive response. "When we wrote him," she says, "we told him we might have a few weeks or months left to live, and we didn't ever plan on spending the last part of our lives looking at a racetrack."


Yahoo Finance: “Stocks rise amid positive trade reports”By admin_45 in IN THE NEWS
Excerpt from Yahoo Finance quoting DataTrek's Jessica Rabe:
.... "Stocks, which posted their best three-month start to the year in more than two decades, have seen uncharacteristically low levels of volatility for this stage in the cycle, according to a Datatrek analysis that characterized volatility as sessions of at least 1% gains or losses in the S&P 500.
The large-cap index posted just 11 sessions of rising or falling at least 1% in the first quarter, noted Datatrek co-founder Jessica Rabe. This compares to a first-quarter average of 13 such sessions. Last year, the S&P 500 rose or fell at least 1% in 64 sessions, marking the most volatile year since 2015.
Two of the key reasons for low volatility in the first quarter of 2019 were the Federal Reserve’s reversal to pause on raising key interest rates, and a “snapback in equity buying after a deeply sold” fourth-quarter, Rabe wrote.
“We would not be surprised if volatility remains contained this quarter even though the S&P had an up 1% day on the first trading session of Q2,” she said"....

Using objects found around your home (recycled packaging and paper cut outs), create a scene filled with strange and intriguing characters. You can use sticky tape to bind things together and tin foil to mould into any shape you want. Let your imagination run wild with arranging your piece. None of this has to look real!
Once you are finished, place the objects on a table or a box in front of a wall where you can play with them undisturbed for some time. Make sure to place your characters on different levels; higher, lower, and in the middle, using things like boxes, jars, or books as supports. When you are happy with your scene, you can turn off the lights and use a torch to shine light on it. You may move the torch around to find the best angle for the projection of shadows on the wall. Just watch the shadows and silhouettes grow bigger or shrink away as you move around the torch.
Your theatre of shadows is now ready; it can be used as the starting point for making up a story with your family or friends. You can gradually add new characters or move the existing ones around to create new shadows and new stories, or you could take out your drawing pad and draw the shadow characters. Have fun!
This week’s Explorer at Home was developed as a response to Janet Mullarney’s Another Minds Eye.
Irish artist Janet Mullarney (1952-2020), used a wide variety of materials and mediums, working with sculpture, painting, video, and installation to build an imaginarium filled with fantastical creatures often referencing religion, theatrical space and human relationships. Her solo exhibition at IMMA in 2019 included the installation Another Minds Eye.
Finally please share your results, your experiments, and artworks with the hashtag #ExploreratHome
Irish artist Janet Mullarney attended the Accademia di Belle Arti and Scuola Professionale di Intaglio, Florence. Incorporating a range of materials including bronze, wood, plaster, foam, cloth, glass and wax, her dynamic sculptural works reference religious iconography, art history and human relationships. Mullarney’s work is represented in public collections including that of the Arts Council, the OPW, and Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane.View Artist

text: This thesis describes life in Araucaria, an intentional community in the hinterlands of Australia s Sunshine Coast. Through eight months of participatory fieldwork, I have concerned myself with how the inhabitants purposefully attempted to increase their sense of unity and their intentional way of living. I have examined this through following processes in which the inhabitants wished to both strengthen their bonds to each other as individuals and to strengthen their individual bonds to the community as a whole. This includes an exploration of how they understood the world and their place in it, where I have described their beliefs and use of the term interconnectedness . This term has been embedded in the community practice since its founding, and entails a wish for stronger connections to each other, to their own selves and to their surroundings. I illustrate how this includes a way of relating to nature as full of sentient beings (plant life in particular) that are equal to humans – which is nothing less than an attempt at an ontological shift where the division between humans (culture) and nature are broken down. As I show how their beliefs are part of what strengthen their bonds to each other, I also emphasize how different beliefs could threaten to divide them. Following this, I explore how ritualistic behavior and carefully structured ritual settings were meant to deal with these threats. These were intentional means to further enact and foster common values, commitment to the group, and deeper connections between individuals. To further explain how they create a sense of unity I also delve into their use and perception of the land they inhabit. This shows how dealings with nature were a source of enacting their values and beliefs.

I understand that in the period from 1769 thu about 1774 there was armed warfare going on in the areas of Wake and Orange counties against the government officials representing the Crown. Has anyone got any idea of how to find out the names of the various participants on either side of this insurrection? My Kemp ancestors lived in Wake county and later moved to SC and GA, I am curious if the Regulators insurrection and later on the Revolution may have contributed to these decisions to leave NC.

Health care board to advertise for EMT position
The Sublette County Rural Health Care Board met in a special session Monday, Jan. 17, to discuss emergency medical technician wage rates and interview one of the candidates for the director position.
Dr. Judy Boyle attended and urged the board to quickly address the wage issue and communicate with those involved. Boyle supported the requested increase in pay of 8.5 percent, due to the rising cost of living in Sublette County, stating, "We are at a crisis point in our ability to provide emergency services."
Board Member Mary Lynn Worl responded that the board had addressed the issue by granting an increase at the last meeting, bringing wages in line with Teton County, which has the highest rate in the state. Worl said they are also studying the benefit package and possible additional wage adjustments.
Board Member Bill Barney commented that the issue is not cost of living but is instead labor-force issues that are driving the problem. There are short-term higher paying positions in the gas field which compete for people available.
Barney said: "Putting pressure to do it now only delays the process. We need to avoid brinkmanship."
Boyle responded: "This is not brinkmanship. It's been a long-standing issue."
She urged the board to set a time by which a solution would be offered and to advise Wil Gay of that date to see if he would wait until that date to decide if he stays or goes.
Chairman Jerry Jensen advised Boyle that the board would advertise Gay's position as available until it is filled. If Gay wishes to apply for the position he resigned, that would be fine.
The board adjourned to executive session for an interview with one of four candidates for the directors' position. Two more candidates will be interviewed over the next few weeks before one is selected for an offer of employment.

In July 1997 a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed by Gregory Hunolt for the Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Project Office at Goddard and this author for NSSDC. This MOU officially transferred ownership of the legacy Earth science data tapes and other media in NSSDC's archives to ESDIS. NSSDC will continue to hold physically and manage these data for ESDIS until ESDIS designates the final disposition of each such data set. ESDIS will determine the level of support for these data.
From 1960 to the early 1990s, before the Earth Observing System (EOS) Data and Information System (EOSDIS) was created, NSSDC had accumulated many tens of thousands of tapes of Earth science data from the Synchronous Meteorological Satellite (SMS), the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES), Nimbus, and other missions. In recent years about 60 distinct data sets representing most of the still-in-demand data have been gradually sent to the various Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs) of the EOSDIS. This transition is a continuing process.
ESDIS has solicited from the Earth science community suggestions on the disposition of the remaining Earth science data sets still resident in the NSSDC archives, approximately 100 each of digital and analog (film) data sets. As a new thrust in this effort, NSSDC is currently organizing its paper and microfilmed documentation of these data sets so that a CD-ROM of scanned images of the documentation may be created and distributed by ESDIS to its scientific advisers for data disposition suggestions. This NSSDC effort is being underwritten by ESDIS.
Further details on the Earth science data sets still in the NSSDC archives but newly owned by ESDIS may be obtained from Gregory Hunolt at firstname.lastname@example.org or from Carolyn Ng at NSSDC (email@example.com).

Apple has won a bittersweet victory in its tablet war with Samsung.
A German court has ruled an existing sales ban on Samsung’s smaller Galaxy Tab 7.7 in the country should be extended to all the 27 member states of the European Union, and that the tablet’s design infringes on Apple patents dating back to 2004.
The court however ruled that Samsung’s larger Galaxy Tab 10.1 has made sufficient design changes from its predecessor, and is no longer an iPad rip-off, deciding an injunction on its sale should be lifted.
This news comes a week after a U.K. judge said consumers would never confuse a Galaxy Tab for an iPad because they were “not as cool.” Ouch.
Samsung isn’t happy, and now has to figure out a strategy to fight back in the court of law and apparently the court of consumer public opinion.

Pests... diseases... stress from salt, drought, heat or frost, nutrient imbalance... are not terms associated with healthy and happy plants!
Thankfully, now we have SUNSHINE Power-Si - with Silicon (Si) as an active element.
SUNSHINE Power-Si has Silicon (Si) as an active element. Adding it to soil and/or applying as a foliar spray can immensely enhance plant resistance to external factors and boost their growth and health.
Silicon (Si) - is the mineral substrate absolutely necessary for all plant life on our Planet. In field crops it is known to affect plant growth and quality, photosynthesis, transpiration and enhance plant resistance to stresses such as drought and freezing. When readily available to plants, it plays a large role in several functions:
Application: Mix 3 ml in 1 pt (16 oz) of water or use 25 ml per 1 gal of water. Foliar spray + root drench once a month.
SiO2 in form of Monosilicic Acid - 1%
Vitamins - 3%
Silicon (Si) is an element that is very common in nature, and there is an abundance of it in most soils. However, since Si is found primarily as silicate minerals, aluminum silicates, and several forms of silicon dioxide, a problem comes into play. Simply adding large amounts of these won’t help the plant due to variables in the soil. The reason is, the conversion of these solid silicon compounds into the only known plant-available silicon compound - monosilicic acid (MSA), is very low!
However, when there is enough Si (in available form), it can dramatically increase photosynthetic activity, insect and disease resistance, enhance drought and frost tolerance, and so much more.
The revolutionary supplement SUNSHINE Power-Si is that exact special formula that makes Silicon easily available to the plant metabolism!
Silicon (Si) - is the mineral substrate absolutely necessary for all plant life on our Planet.
In field crops it is known to affect plant growth and quality, photosynthesis, transpiration and enhance plant resistance to stresses such as drought and freezing.
When readily available to plants, it plays a large role in several functions:
Untreated Magnolia (Michelia)champaca - Joy Perfume Tree showing freeze/frost damage
Mango tree treated with SUNSHINE Power-Si with nice green leaves after freeze./p>
Plants are divided into 2 main groups, dicots and monocots. (Distinctive features are: monocot leaves have parallel veins, and their flowers usually form in threes; Dicots form “branching veins” and flowers occur in groups of four or five).
While the soil solution works well for monocots, it doesn’t work as efficiently for dicots, based on experiments. Adding a foliar spray helps to compensate for low uptake by the roots of dicots, resulting in enhanced Si uptake with beneficial effects.
SUNSHINE-Power works great at very low concentrations. Once applied to soil, Si is immobile. Only a small fraction is converted to a plant needed silicon compound - MSA.
Although it is important for the Si to be taken up from the roots, Si applied to leaves accumulates there also and has a similar effect as being absorbed from the roots.
Dilute 25 ml of concentrated SUNSHINE Power-Si in 1 gal of distilled water.
Apply as foliar spray and to soil around roots once a month during the active growth period (In tropical and subtropical areas, from March through November).
Use during winter months has also been shown to improve cold tolerance of plants
SUNSHINE-Power-Si can be used with every watering to maintain pH between 5.5-6.5.
Stabilized silicic acid (sSA) is the active ingredient and is used as a food supplement for humans and animals in almost the same concentrations.
Chol-sSA and PeG-sSA are registered for human consumption and these compounds are known to be non-toxic.
Therefore, it is safe for plants, soils, farmers, surface and groundwater, insects, and consumers.
In order to be in top shape, plants require adequate nutrition just like humans. The natural model of element intake for a plant is through the roots. However, foliar sprays of the essential elements in most cases has even more beneficial effects. These are foliar fertilizers, micro-elements, plant hormones, biostimulants, and other beneficial substances, as well as pesticides.
Oxygen (O2) - Plants need oxygen to survive, during photosynthesis, plants take in CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) from the air and combine it with water absorbed through their roots. They use energy from sunlight to turn these ingredients into carbohydrates (sugars) and oxygen, and they release extra oxygen to the air.
Water (H2O) - Water helps plants by transporting important nutrients. Nutrients are pulled from the soil from the plant, and without water plants droop so it helps them stand up.
Silicon (Si) is another important element which is able to enhance the resistance of plants to multiple stresses, enhances their growth, and adds balance to nutritional needs.
Most of the Si absorbed by plants is in the form of amorphous silica, SiO2*nH2O.

India for satellite-based navigation in SAARCIndia has been lobbying member countries of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) including Nepal to join its advanced navigational satellite programme—GPS-Aided Geo Augmented Navigation (GAGAN)—for better management of air traffic in the Indian subcontinent.
India has been lobbying member countries of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) including Nepal to join its advanced navigational satellite programme—GPS-Aided Geo Augmented Navigation (GAGAN)—for better management of air traffic in the Indian subcontinent.
The system uses Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) receivers during the approach and is an alternative to the current land-based navigational aids. GAGAN is jointly implemented by the Indian Space Research Organization and the Airports Authority of India (AAI) with the objective of providing satellite-based navigation services with accuracy and integrity required for civilian and aviation applications in the SAARC and Southeast Asian countries.
An AAI team recently gave a detailed presentation on the GAGAN system in Kathmandu and explained to Nepali officials the benefits of being part of the advanced satellite navigation system developed by India. Last March, the AAI conducted a two-day workshop for civil aviation representatives from Saarc and Southeast Asian nations to appraise them of the performance and benefits of GAGAN and provide them with hands-on experience of the functioning of the system.
“We are yet to reach a decision regarding India’s proposal,” said Rajan Pokhrel, deputy director general of the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (Caan). According to Pokhrel, Caan will assess the cost and other factors before making any decision. Both domestic and international airlines can use the system. It will mean extra expense for the airlines as they will have to install SBAS receivers, he said. “Hence, it is necessary to analyse the cost factor first.”
The Indian Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has issued a directive mandating GAGAN equipage on all Indian registered aircraft entering the country on or after January 1, 2019. The AAI said that India was among the only four nations in the world to develop and deploy this ingenious technology that removes signal errors from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and provides highly precise navigation signals to users. Other countries that use such a system are the US, the European Union and Japan. According to reports, flight delays, diversions and cancellations can be minimised by adopting the SBAS. In addition, it enables direct ?ight paths and reduces minimum separation of aircraft, which decreases the workload for pilots and controllers. Hence, air traffic can be significantly minimised, especially in busy airspaces.

This is the man who made playing a saxophone sexy and charmed many fans with his music and signature long, golden curls from thirty years ago and continue to do so today. His flowing locks are still there, as is his superb showmanship and technical skills.
At his one night only concert at The Star Theatre at Star Vista in Singapore, Kenny G serenaded the audience with a set consisting of his hit classics like “The Moment”, mixed with instrumental covers of all-time favourite tunes like “The Moon Represents My Heart (Teresa Teng)” and “My Heart Will Go On (Celine Dion)”.

The most popular saxophone player of all-time, @kennyg played to a packed audience at his one night only performance at The Star Performing Arts Centre at Star Vista in Singapore. After a career spanning over three decades and still going strong, Kenny G still retains his signature long curls and instrumental skills to rock the stage with his crew with music alone. Their technical skills were amazing and probably the best you can get in this world. Two thumbs up! Photos and videos taken with #huaweimate20pro. #kennyg #huaweimate20 #huaweisg @huaweimobile @huaweimobilesg
The renditions on his saxophones were perfect as his mesmerised his thousands of fans at the theatre who were completely blown away with familiar and new tunes from the accomplished musician with his equally accomplished crew. Each of his crew members got a short solo segment to show off their technical prowess. I can’t play musical instruments, but even from the eyes and ears of a layman, these guys were rock solid with their technical skills and in entertaining a live audience, judging from the thunderous applause each of the them received! These guys have been accompanying Kenny Go for more than 30 years and they just keep getting better over the years.
The One Night Only – Kenny G Live in Singapore concert was brought in here by CK Star Entertainment, an entertainment company which has been in business since 2001. Formerly known as “Mikie Star Entertainment”, they have been bringing various performances from Asian talents to entertain fans in Indonesia. Now, with a passionate and tech-savvy team, CK Star Entertainment has a vision to expand its track record in bringing high quality concerts to Singapore, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries.

Gynecomastia is caused by the excessive development of glandular tissue and is most commonly linked with hormonal imbalances. It differs from chest fat as it cannot be treated by simple lifestyle measures alone, including diet and exercise. Men typically seek treatment to get rid of gynecomastia, as it often appears noticeable beneath clothing. The aim is to achieve a masculine-looking and sculpted chest that appears flat.
Identifying the precise cause of gynecomastia is key to instituting the correct treatment to remove excessive breast tissue using male breast reduction surgery. Here we discuss the key differences between gynecomastia and chest fat and outline the optimum treatments for both conditions.
What is gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia London is a condition where excessive glandular tissue develops beneath the nipples. Gynecomastia can affect one or both sides and may appear symmetrical or asymmetrical between both sides. The reduction in circulating levels of testosterone with an increase in oestrogen is thought to be the most common underlying cause of the condition. However, there are several causes that may be responsible.
The most common clinical features of gynaecomastia affecting men include:
- Excessive glandular tissue leading to a swollen chest
- Hard lumps felt beneath the skin
- A feeling of tenderness when the chest is touched
- Pain which may affect certain activities
- Increased body mass index (BMI)
Do I have gynecomastia or chest fat?
Gynaecomastia is very common in men of all age groups, although many types of gynecomastia will resolve spontaneously without any treatment. In other cases, gynecomastia may not resolve, and only surgical treatment can get rid of it.
RELATED: How common is gynecomastia?
Gynecomastia most commonly develops from an underlying imbalance in hormones or may be caused by recreational drug use or certain medicines. The most common causes of gynecomastia affecting men in the UK include:
An underlying hormonal imbalance is most commonly responsible for the development of gynecomastia. Abnormalities in the levels of certain hormones, including testosterone or oestrogen, can occur at any point in life.
Gynecomastia may first present itself when a baby boy is born, and this is most commonly due to excessive levels of circulating oestrogen which pass from the mother. This type of gynecomastia affecting babies often settles down by itself after three or four months after birth but may, on occasion, take longer to resolve.
Gynecomastia next affects boys in their teenage years, often just before undergoing puberty. Gynecomastia is very common during puberty, and this type of gynecomastia also settles down within six months to a year without any treatment.
Gynecomastia in adult men may still develop, and this is most often due to a hormonal imbalance. In rare cases, there may be a hormone-secreting tumour affecting the pituitary gland or the adrenal gland resulting in gynecomastia. Cancer of the liver or testes may also result in an overproduction of oestrogen, with a deficiency of oestrogen leading to gynecomastia.
As young men approach puberty, excess breast tissue may begin to form under the effects of substantial hormonal changes. This is often the time when the body is undergoing rapid growth and development. Excess breast tissue caused by puberty is, in the vast majority of cases, entirely harmless and does not require surgical treatment.
Men may be taking several medications, which may result in gynecomastia. These medicines may increase oestrogen levels. There are also types of medications that may prevent the formation of testosterone. Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) work to inhibit the effects of oestrogen in men. If a medicine is taken that blocks the formation of testosterone or DHT, then the effects of oestrogen will be more obvious, resulting in gynecomastia.
Examples of medicines that may result in gynecomastia:
- Epilepsy medications
- Antianxiety and antidepressant medications
- Drugs used for the treatment of cardiovascular disease
- Drugs used to treat peptic ulcers
- Certain types of chemotherapy drugs, including alkylating agents such as cisplatin, work to prevent cancer cells from growing but may also disrupt cellular DNA.
Many men may also take over-the-counter substances, such as herbal preparations and essential oil products that may cause gynecomastia, including lavender oil.
Several medical conditions can result in gynecomastia, including cancer of the pituitary gland, adrenal glands or testis. Certain types of lung cancer, as well as hyperactive thyroid, are recognised causes.
Chronic medical conditions such as liver cirrhosis caused by excessive alcohol intake or cancer of the liver may also cause gynecomastia resulting in the development of excess breast tissue.
Recreational substance abuse
Many men may take anabolic steroids to promote muscle gain and augment the effects of weightlifting. Anabolic steroid use is strongly associated with the formation of ‘man boobs’. Excessive alcohol intake along with cannabis use are recognised causes of the condition.
How can I tell the difference between gynecomastia and chest fat?
This is one of the most commonly asked questions, and men often seek the most effective treatment to get rid of ‘man boobs‘. Many men often feel increasingly self-conscious about their prominent chests. They usually avoid taking off their shirt whilst on holiday or may avoid wearing fitted clothing, which may accentuate the appearance of gynecomastia. Here we describe the key questions to identify gynecomastia vs chest fat.
How old are you?
Many young men may develop excess fat or glandular tissue on their chest just before puberty. Surgery for gynecomastia should be avoided in boys who are going through puberty, as the condition will settle down on its own without any further treatment.
Once puberty has passed, hormonal imbalance will return to normal, and the risk of developing gynecomastia can be minimised by eating healthily and doing physical exercise. Most boys who approach the age of 16 are often free of gynecomastia.
Later in life, hormonal changes may result in many older men developing prominent breasts due to a natural fall in testosterone with age. This occurs more commonly in men who are overweight or obese.
Are you overweight or obese?
A clinical assessment from a doctor can often determine whether you have true gynecomastia or simply excessive chest fat. Men who are overweight or obese will have a higher proportion of excess chest fat than slimmer men. The percentage of body fat can often be determined with body fat analysis. This may identify leaner men who may have gynecomastia even though they have a low percentage of body fat. This may be due to lower levels of muscle mass and an increased amount of subcutaneous fat. An elevated lipid profile may also be associated with an increased amount of chest fat due to excessive cholesterol levels.
Do you have any medical conditions?
Certain medical conditions may cause gynecomastia due to an underlying hormonal disturbance. This often develops in men who have hyperthyroidism or have cancer of the pituitary gland or testicular cancer, resulting in the secretion of excessive oestrogen. Men who drink excessively may develop cirrhosis of the liver, and this is also linked with the development of gynecomastia.
Have you had a blood test to check your hormone levels?
Many men may not know they have a hormonal disturbance, and very often, this is detected from a blood test to measure testosterone and oestrogen levels. A blood test will be able to measure levels of hormones and is usually taken in the morning as testosterone is at its highest level in the mornings.
Do you eat healthily?
Men with a higher proportion of subcutaneous body fat are more likely to have excess fatty tissue develop in the chest, even though they may be of a normal body mass index. The key to reducing chest fat is to eat healthily with plenty of fruits, vegetables, seeds, grains, avocados and lean protein sources. Avoiding energy-dense and processed foods will help to reduce chest fat.
Are you physically active?
Carrying out regular physical exercise involving a combination of cardiovascular exercise and resistance training will help to burn body fat and tone your chest muscles.
Do you drink excessive alcohol or take recreational drugs?
Men who drink alcohol excessively and take recreational substances, including cannabis, are at a higher risk of developing gynecomastia. Taking recreational substances can also cause other health risks, and we would advise consulting with your GP to access a specialist substance misuse service.
Male breast reduction surgery to get rid of London gynecomastia
It has been estimated that up to one in seven of all men in the UK will develop enlargement of the male breasts at some point in their lives. Although many types of male breast enlargement are short-lived and temporary, many men will require male breast reduction to get rid of man boobs permanently.
What does male breast reduction surgery involve?
Male breast reduction surgery is designed to get rid of excess breast tissue in men using a combination of surgical techniques. The procedure first involves the removal of extra chest fat using London liposuction, followed in many cases by direct surgical excision using a half-moon incision around the areola to remove excess glandular tissue.
SEE ALSO: What do gynecomastia scars look like?
In some cases, men may prefer to have smaller nipples and areolas, and this can easily be carried out during the same procedure using an areola reduction technique. Your surgeon will be able to detail what the procedure involves at your gynecomastia consultation in London.
Is it true gynecomastia or just fat?
Can I get rid of gynaecomastia by losing weight?
In men with true gynecomastia or glandular enlargement due to an underlying hormonal imbalance or recreational substance use, fat reduction with diet and exercise will not treat the problem effectively. True gynecomastia with excess glandular tissue can only be improved using a surgical excision technique with male breast reduction surgery.
Does gynecomastia always affect both breasts?
Gynaecomastia can also affect only one side, although most men commonly develop the condition in both breasts.
Is gynecomastia common?
Gynecomastia is a prevalent condition in men, with up to one in seven of all men in the UK developing symptoms at some point; however, in most cases, excess male breast tissue is temporary and resolves without treatment.
The condition is more likely to be temporary in younger men. Eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly can improve the appearance of gynecomastia in men in their 20s and 30s. In cases where there is no improvement, male breast reduction surgery can be considered the most effective treatment option.

Abstract: This study was performed in conjunction with a Federal Emergency Management Agency program to plan, design, and construct Keyworker blast shelters. Keyworker shelters are box-type shelters in which damage is more likely in the roof-slab than in the walls or floor. This study investigates the effect of partial edge restraint on the strength, ductility, and failure mechanisms of a slab. Sixteen one-way, reinforced concrete plate elements were tested in a specially designed reaction structure under uniform static water pressure. Facilities were designed and constructed to measure the slab end actions, including thrusts, moments, and rotations. The primary parameters investigated included the span-thickness ratio, reinforcement ratio, and degree of edge restraint. Most slabs were loaded until significant tensile membrane forces developed. Rotational restraint significantly influenced overall slab behavior. If a slab is to develop significant compressive membrane forces, both lateral and rotational restraint must be provided. Small rotational freedoms had a relatively small effect on the slab's compressive membrane response. With large rotational freedoms, however, the slabs generally snapped through to the tensile membrane stage before significant thrusts were developed. Thin slabs generally exhibited a much better tensile membrane response than thicker slabs and underwent larger deflections before collapse. Recommendations are presented and an analytical procedure which considers nonlinear geometric behavior is proposed for investigating total slab response. NOTE: This file is large.

In many situations, it’s beneficial for those with drug and alcohol addictions to attend a gender-specific rehab program. Ultimately, a men’s drug addiction rehab program can create a more comfortable environment where it’s much easier to openly share.
The benefits of male-specific programs
It’s extremely difficult to go through treatment for any addiction. Often, addiction occurs because of trauma or mental illness. When you’re going through addiction, it’s necessary to be honest with yourself, which takes a tremendous amount of courage and strength.
In gender-specific rehab, this process is much easier. When you’re with other males at a men’s drug rehab program, you have the freedom put all of your focus on your therapy and clinical assignments. You can also develop deep and supportive friendships with other men in your treatment center.
At times, being in a male and female rehab community means that romantic relationships are possible. However, drug treatment is simply not the place to foster romantic relationships. Drug treatment programs have one purpose, and that is to help patients get sober and improve their lives. A men’s drug rehab program allows male patients to put all of their concentration and healing power on their treatment.
The men’s drug rehab program at Steps to Recovery
At Steps to Recovery, we offer treatment programs for men, specifically, that allow them to focus on treatment. Our programs use the 12 step program philosophy. Additionally, we offer a partial hospitalization program which caters to the individual patient.
Once a patient is able to complete this partial hospitalization program, they’ll go on to an intensive outpatient program lasting approximately 12 to 16 days. Both of these programs together make up phase 1 of our unique two-phase addiction treatment program. This is unique to Steps to Recovery and works.
In terms of what we focus on, in the first phase, addiction therapy services center around individual, group, and family counseling. Additionally, we’ll help you establish daily goals and you’ll have access to addiction education, 12 step information, and basic life skills.
Phase 2 goes on to expand on these life skills and teach longer term sobriety skills. You’ll also learn tools for integrating yourself back into society after treatment. All of these treatments cater specifically to men.
What other services come with the men’s drug rehab program?
In addition to providing special inpatient hospitalization and outpatient drug rehab programs for men, Steps to Recovery also additional addiction recovery services to make rehab as painless as possible. These services help our clients and their families. They include:
- The option of intensive outpatient treatment
- Sober living facilities
- A partial hospitalization program
- Addiction Detox Programs
Contact Steps to Recovery Today
If you’re a man who needs drug or alcohol addiction treatment, Steps to Recovery can help. We believe in the highest quality of care, and we do our utmost to ensure that our patients get the best treatment possible. The needs of our clients are our top priority.

Apparently I’ve been doing a bit of entertaining recently (actually it was one afternoon tea at my place, and one at a friends). Here a few things I’ve made in the last few weeks.
This Coconut Raspberry Loaf is moist, delish and diary free ( it does have an egg in it), with coconut milk replacing all milk and butter. Since goign to Hawaii, I’ve started using a lot more coconut, or at least become more much more aware that I’m using it. It gives me fond memories 🙂
A desire to make a baked treat which invovled avocado, lead me to this Guacamole Scones recipe. though I really think their muffins. I went mini size and easy on the chili because there were kids present (though lets face it – they totally just went for the chocolate!). I would amp up the chili and perhaps use a sharper cheese (perhaps parmesan?) to give these a bit more bite, but the avocado still worked remarkably well.

The calamity of ObamaCare has caused even more distress for health insurers as a report from Moody’s, the credit rating agency, downgraded its position from stable to negative Thursday.
“While we’ve had industry risks from regulatory changes on our radar for a while, the ongoing unstable and evolving environment is a key factor for our outlook change,” said Moody’s Senior Vice President Stephen Zaharuk in his statement today.
Indicating the 2014 forecast for insurance industry earnings would be at least 2 percent less, Zaharuk stated “the past few months have seen new regulations and announcements that impose operational changes well after product and pricing decisions were finalized.”
The Hill a publication of Congress, first reported the downgrade.
A major cause for this damaging downgrade is due to the sluggish enrollment of young Americans into Obamacare, the Moody's report sited.
“Uncertainty over the demographics of those enrolling in individual products through the exchanges is a key factor in Moody’s outlook change,” the Moody’s report explained.
ObamaCare was sold to the American people by President Barack Obama and the Democratic led Congress with a needed prerequisite of 40 percent of the enrollees being between the ages of 18 and 34, while at the same time allowing most 18-24 year-olds to have their coverage included with their parent’s plans.
The federal government’s own figures show less than 24 percent of enrollees are under age 35.
Other concerns in the report included grave concern that insurers’ premium calculations would most likely not be sufficient to cover the new assessment tax for this year.
“These changing dynamics will have an uneven effect on insurers, as the impact of these factors will vary by market segment and geography,” the report stated. “Moody’s view continues to be that the larger and more diversified insurers will be better positioned, both financially and strategically, to meet the challenges facing the sector.”

Museums & Interpretive
Working in collaboration with the Western Railway Museum in Solano County, CA, Cinnabar designed, fabricated and installed Traction Labs, a new interactive exhibit about energy with particular emphasis on sustainability and electric trains.
The exhibit is comprised of several interactives, with its core feature being a 100 sq.ft. electro-mechanical train set with three distinct scenic regions- a wind farm in Solano County, CA, a typical urban city and a desert solar facility. The train set allows visitors to power two different trains while learning about wind and solar power generation. From initial design to installation in 16 months, this was a successful collaboration that created a signature, long-term exhibit that addresses a very important topic, energy, through engaging hands-on activities and clear graphic presentation of the subject matter.

What's in this article
The CEO of Grayscale, Micheal Sonnenshein, has spoken to investors that he is prepared for a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in spite of what the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) says. Grayscale’s application to change its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust to a spot ETF is close to the end of a 240-day waiting period on the desk of the SEC, where it has withered since November 2021.
Putting this in mind, the CEO contemplated on the progress made towards giving American investors a well-known strategy to trade bitcoin, including mass-marketing campaigns, a microsite committed to educating and offering a voice to ordinary citizens, and meetings with respected academics. Almost 11,500 bodies, with investors and trade associations, submitted letters to the SEC in favor of Grayscale to support spot bitcoin ETF.
Emphasising the progress on regulatory approvals for bitcoin futures ETFs under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 and currently the approval of a short Bitcoin Futures ETF by ProShares, according to Sonnenshein, the bitcoin market is growing and building up the argument for a spot ETF.
The company earlier argued that approving a bitcoin futures ETF from ETF provider Teucrium under the 1933 Act files in the presence of SEC Chairman Gary Gensler’s claim that the 1940 Act offers better investor protections and is a standard platform. Amy Lynch, the president of a regulatory consultancy, Frontline Compliance, stated that till when the funds’ pricing, liquidity, custody, and valuation are crystal clear, the SEC Chairman, Gary Gensler, may not change his mind.

Granulation is one of the most important unit operations in the production of pharmaceutical oral dosage forms. However, there are many different technologies each having different strengths and weaknesses.
Granulation is often required to improve the flow of powder mixtures and mechanical properties of tablets.
Granules are usually obtained by adding liquids binder or solvent solutions.
Larger quantities of granulating liquid produce a narrower particle size range and coarser and harder granules, i.e. the proportion of fine granulate particles decreases.
The optimal quantity of liquid needed to get a given particle size should be known in order to keep a batch-to-batch variations to a minimum.
Wet granulation is used to improve flow, compressibility, bio-availability, homogeneity, electrostatic properties, and stability of solid dosage forms.
The particle size of granulate is determined by the quantity and feeding rate of granulating liquid.
Wet granulation is used to improve flow, compressibility, bio-availability, and homogeneity of low dose blends, electrostatic properties of powders, and stability of dosage forms.
Granulator process solutions involve smaller particles adhering to each other in order to grow larger particles or agglomerates.
Particle size is critical in a granulator process solution because if the particles are too large or too small they do not have the product characteristics important to produce light powders into high density free-flowing granulates.
There are many variables in controlling a granulator process, ranging from feed rate of the granulator liquid to the resonance time of the granulator chamber. All of these parameters affect the particle size in different ways.
With an on-line sensor, the particle size is measured instantaneously and continuously in real time helping to monitor and control the granulator process.
