The climate in an enclosed space is a complex subject. There are many facets to climate, such as humidity, temperature, ventilation, condensation, rot and mould, damage to structures, emotions about comfort such as “stuffy” and “nice temperature” and “it’s chilly in here” and finally the CO2 and O2 content is important.

How not to do it
Visit Youtube and Pinterest to see how you should not insulate a camper van. There are a lot of mistakes being made – even by “professionals”. It is also sad to see how young couples try to make their dreams come true and at the same time push their investment to the edge of a cliff. I always hope they live in a dry and warm climate.
The point is that many people get going in their enthusiasm without really understanding the consequences of their actions. Moisture is trapped, PUR cans are emptied and untreated wood is used on floors. The conditions for mould and rot and disastrous rust processes have been created.
All this makes it a huge challenge to cover the whole subject in a short post in a practical and objective way. I write with a scientific approach and try to be brief and to the point. That will surely make it worthwhile to read.
The quick fixes
Let us first discuss and solve some things quickly:
- We are not talking about aeroplanes, submarines, residential containers and buildings, but we are talking about a van. That said, the knowledge discussed is very widely applicable.
- The CO2 and O2 content: Ensure that there is always sufficient ventilation, via a ventilation system, open windows and, as a last resort, occasionally air everything out.
- Ventilate with air that is dry enough to:
- prevent most condensation and
- allow any water present to evaporate.
- Air can be made relatively drier by:
- Air conditioning
- The combination of the two
- Air from outside – if drier
- Do not use untreated organic materials in places where condensation can occur, such as spruce wood on a floor and cotton near a cold outer wall.
- Mould infestation is almost irreversible, and you will never get rid of it without demolition.
- Mistakes are made more often than you might think, even by “professionals”.
- Accept the limited occurrence of condensation, but ensure that condensation can always drain away:
- Water that runs downhill: Never block the water course with insulating material or PU foam. During garage visits, check that the sills are open at the bottom and remove dirt.
- Ensure sufficient ventilation between the exterior cladding and the interior cladding. Installing air vents in the interior and opening them when travelling and during storage is an option.
- It takes a long time, but condensation on the inside will eventually evaporate, so choose a construction that can withstand it.
- Limit cold bridges by clever insulation. However, accept that you cannot prevent all cold bridges – think of window surfaces and gaps between rear doors and at a sliding door.
- Consider TCO – total costs of ownership. Consider that adding 1 kg of material will cost you tens of euros in fuel, maintenance, etc. over the lifetime of the vehicle. It is almost always profitable to use the lightest possible materials and to use smart constructions.
- How far do you want to go with climate regulation and the associated costs?
- The requirements will be different if you are travelling to Norway in the winter, or to the Algarve for a long time in the summer. Or is a thicker coat in winter and a T-shirt and some sweat in summer acceptable?
- Are you travelling only in a warm and dry climate? Then the harmful effects of condensation are less.
We have already discussed many points, but what follows is just as important.
What you need to know about the dew point.
What is the dew point temperature or dew point?
Air contains water vapour. Cold air is less able to contain moisture. When the temperature falls, the relative humidity increases. If the temperature continues to drop, there comes a point when the relative humidity is 100%: The air is saturated and cannot contain more water vapour. If the temperature falls further, water droplets are formed: Dew.
The dew point is therefore the temperature of a mixture of air and moisture at which the humidity is 100%. Dew forms below this temperature. The dew point temperature is therefore a quality characteristic of air.
Why don’t car windows fog up on a cold, rainy day?
You can easily draw a conclusion from this story, think of a car heater that heats outside air and blows it inside: The total amount of moisture in that air does not change. The temperature does rise and then the relative humidity decreases. However, the dew point remains constant.
That is why the car does not get wet on the inside through condensation on icy surfaces, such as windows and doors, when the heater is on and warm. For convenience, we are not including passengers who produce moisture (with wet clothing, breathing).
Why do you want to turn on the air conditioning in a cold car?
The result of air conditioning is more or less the same. Suppose the dew point outside is 10 degrees and the air-conditioner cools it down to 5 degrees. In that case, the dew point also drops to 5 degrees and condensation is removed by the air conditioning. You then get dry, drying air with a dew point of 5 degrees. Ideal for when the heater and engine are not up to temperature yet.
And if you do nothing?
If you put people in a room with limited ventilation, the dew point rises quickly. People release a lot of moisture through breathing and sweating. At 100% relative humidity, the process of condensation against the colder surfaces begins.

JUSTIN GAETHJE has vowed to make Khabib Nurmagomedov see blood in their UFC 254 headliner.
Gaethje - who won the interim belt in May - faces unbeaten Khabib in a lightweight unification on Fight Island.
The American goes into the challenge as underdog - but plans to take the fight to Nurmagomedov like never before.
Gaethje, 31, told ESPN: “I know I’m going to see his blood. I want him to see his blood and I want to see his reaction.
"He isn’t as crazy as me, that’s the thing. I think he is crazy and loves competition but he isn’t quite as crazy as me.
"He also hasn’t seen his blood many times, I’m sure. His style of fighting is not something where you are looking for blood.
"I bet that doesn’t even cross his mind that he will see his own blood. That has never been a factor for him.”
Gaethje put himself in line to challenge Nurmagomedov after the 31-year-old Russian was unable to fight Tony Ferguson at UFC 249.
After upsetting Ferguson, 36, he leapfrogged McGregor - who was targeting a rematch against Khabib - in the title picture.
As a result in June, The Notorious announced his third retirement in four years.
Most read in MMA
But Gaethje is hoping McGregor, 32, has a change of heart so he can fulfil his 'legacy' by challenging the division's biggest stars.
He explained: “I truly think that if I can beat Khabib and then beat Conor, I will have cemented something that is unmatched.
"Anderson Silva, I wouldn’t have matched his title reign. That title reign is something unmatched - but in a different regard, it will be much bigger.
"Khabib is the number one pound-for-pound and you have to put it in context of me.
"Coming off those two losses, everyone was saying ‘He’s done.’
"The fact that, the way I was fighting, we all loved it but there was absolutely not chance I was ever gonna fight for a world title.
"It will be a legacy that I came to cement.”

Stones. Stones thrown by the wind on the desert, this looks like Ithra, the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture designed by the Norwegian architecture and design studio Snøhetta, with offices in various continents, for the energy giant Saudi Aramco. Inside it houses a theater, a cinema, a library, a children's museum, exhibition halls. Nature is not only plants and animals, but also rocks, wind, deserts, the sea. Here organic forms are born from the flesh of the earth, a geology that shows a time measured in eras, where the centuries are insignificant fragments of millennia and the time of man disappears, scattered by the blows of an ancestral wind.

Eating Disorders and College: What’s the Connection?
The beginning of fall is often associated with the start of a new school year and for many the transition to their first year of college. While this transition is usually an exciting time, it can also bring about increased levels of stress, anxiety, and overall unfamiliar territory. “Historically, September and October have been my busiest times as an eating disorder specialist, notes Dr. Cornia, Clinical Director at Magnolia Creek. The upcoming college transition coupled with high overall stress prompts many to reach out for help.”
Why do college students develop eating disorders?
The National Eating Disorders Association estimates the total number of eating disorders increased from 23-32% among females and from 7.9% to 25% among males over a 13-year period. Also, eating disorders typically develop between the ages of 18 and 21 years of age. The realities of college life such as leaving home, increased independence, increased workload, separation from friends and family, and the pressure for academic achievement can collide anxiety, depression, or negative body image, all of which can be contributing factors for the emergence of eating disordered behaviors. College is a new place of excitement, and for many it is difficult to suddenly navigate the adult world and begin managing alone.
For those that are at risk for an eating disorder or have an eating disorder, college life can make it much more difficult. Learning to manage new food routines and intake can be difficult for anyone. However, for those with an eating disorder, the unscheduled and unhealthy eating can impact self-control and self-esteem. Additionally, many will find themselves falling victim to the pressure to engage in intensive diets, binging and purging, over-exercising, or using aids such as laxatives to rid themselves of calories.
How dangerous are eating disorders?
Eating disorders claim a life every 62 minutes, the second highest mortality rate of any mental illness. In the US, 30 million people suffer from an eating disorder, such as anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating.
Treatment for Eating Disorders on the College Campus
The significant rise in college students with eating disorders has fortunately been met with an increase in eating disorder-specific campus resources. According to Dr. Cornia, many college counseling centers have reached out to her for eating disorder resources and training, “Many universities are recognizing this need and are becoming more versed in eating disorder treatment and establishing a multi-disciplinary team of professionals to help educate students on eating disorders, as well as refer students who need appropriate eating disorder treatment. This type of collaboration combined with effective treatment is essential.”
Most college campuses also provide psychological, medical, and nutritional counseling. According to a study by the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, each year college students request more mental health services. They also estimated that 95% of schools reported an increase in students needing and accessing mental health services.
Studies show that students who receive therapeutic and dietary assistance at the onset of eating disorder symptoms recover faster than those individuals who do not receive help or wait longer. Although this highlights the value of quick, effective interventions, for some there are barriers to seeking treatment.
- Denial or unaware that an eating disorder exists
- Fear and anxiety
- Embarrassed to seek treatment
- Lack of support
- Lack of treatment resources
- Worry about the anonymity of treatment
- Fear that education will be compromised
- Concern over peer’s judgment
- Lack of knowledge by college staff about where to refer students
While these emotions and behaviors are undoubtedly valid, they can be diffused by self-acknowledgment, and self-disclosure. An eating disorder does not have to mean the end of college or independence. It is important to support students and help them to make proper treatment a priority. Recovery from an eating disorder may be challenging at times, but with a team of professionals and hard work, recovery is always possible.
College can be an exciting time, don’t let yourself or a loved one suffer from an eating disorder.
Magnolia Creek is located just outside of Birmingham, AL, and provides comprehensive care to adult women who struggle with feeding or eating disorders. Dually licensed as an eating disorder and mental health treatment center, Magnolia Creek can tailor a dual diagnosis program for co-occurring mental health conditions.

LOS ANGELES -- The San Francisco Parking Authority next month is scheduled to sell $25 million of revenue bonds secured solely by money collected at the city's 20,000 parking meters, Moody's Investors Service said.
Moody's gave the bonds an A rating Monday, based on annual meter revenue of more than $12.7 millionan amount six times the projected level of peak annual debt service payments.
Proceeds of the bonds will fund several parking-related projects, including the construction of a new 800space parking garage for San Francisco General Hospital.
The unusual financing is the first transaction rated by Moody's that is secured solely by parking meter revenues, said Nikolai J. Sklaroff, a Moody's assistant vice president.
"We've never rated one like this before," Sklaroff said, "and, in fact, I don't know if it's ever been done before.
The large number of meters dispersed throughout the city was an important concem in determining the upper medium grade, Sklaroff said.
Moody' s believes that the meter system's strengths outweigh any risk that the meters could be stolen, vandalized, or otherwise damaged.
The city's role as a regional employment center and popular tourist attraction, combined with a large number of cars, creates an unusually high level of parking demand, the release said.
In addition, Moody's said that the city's promotion of public transit has constrained the supply of parking.
The Parking Authority plans to issue the bonds on Dec. 6, through a competitive sale.
"We are optimistic about the sale," said Kevin Hagerty, parking authority director. "In this type of market, we need to look at innovative ways to finance projects, and this is one that we feel is workable."

The NORA is also getting founds to make hospital improvements, and for research in rural areas. They also had help create new clinic CICS How the changes had help the rural areas By opening more hospitals and clinics is helping the population to short the distance that the people that need had to travel to get medical attention. ; These new clinics that the NORA had help to open also offer a special payment method to help patients pay for their Health care.By doing improvements in the clinics and hospital helps to patients to be able to do most of the treatments and procedure in the hospital of their area. The incentives that the NORA is creating to bring healthcare workers to the rural clinics and hospital is helping these facilities to provide the healthcare that the patients deserved.
How the government could help to face the problems in the rural areas? The increase of facilities of office where the rural population that are in need could ask and received the economic and healthcare help that they need.Government should provided founding to open clinics and hospital, and help them to keep them in theses areas. How also government should help? Government should help and provide economic support to programs and associations like NORA that had been working to resolve the healthcare issues that are in the rural areas.
In Conclusion ; Rural areas are in need for hospitals. These areas do not have enough hospital and latherer provider that are in a reasonable distance. ; These areas also need more of the government assistance such as Medicaid and Medicare.

The hexamer (m5dC-dG)3 has been synthesized and its three-dimensional structure determined by a single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structure has been refined to a final R valne of 15.6% at 1.3 Å resolution. The molecule forms a left-handed Z-DNA helix which is similar to the unmethylated Z-DNA structure. The presence of the methyl group has resulted in slight changes in the twist angle between snccessive base pairs and modification of some of the interatomic contacts. Methylation of cytosine in the C5 position is associated with a relative destabilization of the B-DNA structure and a stabilization through hydrophobic bonding of the Z-DNA structure.

text: Pennsylvania: Frigid temperatures can’t cool enthusiasm for Hempfield mini casino Renatta Signorini, Trib Live · November 14, 2019 at 3:12 pm The gaming facility being built at Westmoreland Mall might be licensed as a so-called mini casino, but officials said there won’t be anything small about it. “Let us assure you, there is nothing that is second class about this facility,” said Joe Weinberg, managing partner and CEO of resort and gaming entertainment for The Cordish Companies. “This is going to be a world-class regional destination. It will set the standard in this region. … We’re very proud to be developing it here in Westmoreland County.” Weinberg and others from Maryland-based Cordish gathered on a frigid Wednesday morning with local elected officials and others to ceremoniously break ground outside the former Bon-Ton store in Hempfield.

A new study suggests that exercise may be as effective as medication in preventing early death in people who have had attacks or strokes.
The study’s lead author says, “Doctors should give their patients advice about the lifesaving benefits of exercise, and when possible they should refer patients to rehabilitation programs with exercise programs”.
The above adds to a large volume of research on the benefits of doing regular physical activity. Exercise has been shown to lower the risk of early death, help control weight and reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, depression, some types of cancer and a host of other conditions. It lowers the risk of cognitive decline and hip fractures.
Other key findings taken as benefits of exercise based on published reports are as follows:
Among patients who have had strokes, exercise has proved more effective than drugs. However, stroke patients who are capable of exercising may have been healthier to begin with than those who could not exercise.
Exercise as treatment is something that has been under researched.
It is pointed out that more trials comparing the effectiveness of exercise and drugs are needed to help doctors and patients make the best treatment decisions. Exercise should be considered as a viable alternative to, or in combination with medications. A spokesperson for the American Heart Association says, “We are left with the same message we had before: Exercise therapy works; Drug therapy works. The combination of the two is the most reasonable approach”.
In the words of Timothy Church, a physician and director of preventive medicine research at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, “the latest findings make sense to me when you consider that exercise strengthens all parts of the human machine – the heart, the liver, the brain, the blood vessels, the muscles”. "The most powerful thing you can do for your health is become active," he says.
Based on the the above, it can safely recommended that more and more physiotherapy centers are opened in many places including those hospitals wherever they are found to be missing because immense benefits are derived by doing regular exercise for the human body.

Alcohol consumption, history of a mental disorder, and having 4 or more living children were among several risk factors for postmenopausal depression identified in a new study. Researchers published the findings in Menopause: The Journal of the North American Menopause Society.
“These results will be beneficial for raising awareness about depression among postmenopausal women and conducting screening for early diagnosis,” researchers wrote.
The findings stem from a cross-sectional study involving 485 postmenopausal women from an obstetrics and gynecology practice in Sakarya, Turkey. The women were aged 35 to 78 years; the average age was 56.3 years.
Although previous studies have put the rate of postmenopausal depression at 70%, this study identified a frequency of 41% among participants. Researchers explained the difference by pointing out that their study focused on women who had attended a specific hospital outpatient clinic and not a community sample of women. The younger average age of participants may have also played a role.
Key risk factors for postmenopausal depression included being a widow or being separated from a spouse, alcohol consumption, a history of any illness that required continuous medication, the presence of a physical disability, a history of a physician-diagnosed mental disorder, and having 4 or more living children.
“A high number of children may lead to a decrease in the time allocated for herself by the woman, the time spent with the spouse, and sexuality,” researchers wrote. Also, “in the postmenopausal period, women may continue to deal with childcare as grandmothers.”
The study found no relation between depression and fear of death. Again, they suspect the younger age of study participants may have affected the finding.

Constable Te Ani Saunders, left, chats to people as part of her new role as Palmerston North Central City Police.
A dedicated police officer role in the central city of Palmerston North offers individuals and businesses a familiar port of call.
Constable Te Ani Saunders has taken on the new role of inner city police constable, working on things like preventing crime in the city but also giving the people of the city a point of contact.
“I’ve been showing up to retailers and just walking around chatting to the homeless and other members of the public to see how everyone is feeling and offering some reassurance if they need it,” he said.
“Some of the retailers have problems with thieves and young people. I am offering them guidance and assistance.”
* The tension increases due to the demand for vehicle access to the place of employment
* ANZ Premiership 2018 – Your complete guide to how each team sets up
* New Year’s Honors: Blenheim Police Officer just doing what he does best
Saunders has been on the job since May and is believed to be the longest time the police have had someone dedicated to the role.
Its patch includes George St, Broadway Ave, The Plaza and Te Marae or Hine/The Square.
He said he had received a good reaction from shopkeepers and people downtown.
“Many of them say they’ve wanted it for many years.”
Saunders, who was coming from three years on the front line and had experience working with young people, said crime appeared to be down in the area and his presence would also help.
He encouraged people to report crimes in the area so the police would have an idea of what was going on.
Te Ani Saunders is there to support and reassure people in the city centre.
“I’m putting together a guide for retailers to help them identify thieves to work with. When I talk to them all, they don’t know how to deal with them or what to do. This guide will help them.”
He said he wanted to find out what the community needed.
“Reducing crime in the area is going to be the most important thing and it’s only going to get more involved with the community and with the young people, so the police won’t just be seen as negative.”
Manawatū’s tactical prevention manager Joe Salisbury said Saunders’ experience put her in a good position to work with people in the city and she had already built strong relationships.
“The role has been designed to provide support and reassurance to people who live, work or visit our CBD, but also provides a single point of contact between the CBD community and the police.”


Oxygen-reducing technology is a potentially viable fire protection method
FM Global, one of the world’s largest commercial and industrial property insurers, has released new research on oxygen reduction systems, finding them a potentially adequate fire protection method for certain well-sealed, unoccupied spaces.
Oxygen reduction systems (ORS) stream nitrogen into the spaces, lowering the oxygen level to reduce fire risk.
“We are cautiously optimistic about this new fire protection technology, provided the system is designed to the highest fire protection standards,” says FM Global’s Sergey Dorofeev, vice president, research area director.
FM Global details its findings, including the first large-scale fire tests involving ORS, in a new research technical report titled ‘Evaluation of Oxygen Reduction System (ORS) in Large-Scale Fire Tests’.
“An oxygen reduction system (ORS) is a fire prevention system that uses a low-oxygen environment to reduce, if not eliminate, the potential for ignition and fire propagation in a protected space,” the report details. “The key parameter for ORS design is the limiting oxygen concentration (LOC), defined as the lowest O2 concentration that can support combustion for a given fuel. However, at the low oxygen levels that are typically required, life safety concerns can be an important factor for the use of ORS.”
The report focuses on large-scale fire tests to determine the effective O2 design concentrations for ORS applications.
“FM Global recognises that ORS is a relatively new fire protection system which aims to maintain a steady low oxygen concentration in an enclosed protection space to control fire ignition and/or fire spread. The most important factor for the ORS to be effective is to maintain an oxygen level (LOC), below which the fire spread beyond the ignition location can be excluded. The LOC can be determined through appropriate bench-scale and large-scale tests for a specific fuel. In addition, to ensure adequate protection, systematic reliability analysis should be performed to develop the inspection, testing and maintenance (ITM) programs to provide the required availability of the system.”
The results in the report (and prior work) illustrate that, although ORS is not a replacement for fire sprinkler protection, ORS with adequate availability may be used in well-sealed and unoccupied enclosures that can consistently maintain a uniform reduced oxygen concentration.
“It is expected that the ORS satisfying these conditions can provide adequate protection with relatively low level of fire damage under certain conditions,” the report says.
The report is available for download (PDF) at no cost.

During the comedian's New York City show, the Queen of Pop made a surprise stand-up appearance, and jokingly offered to perform a sex act on male fans if they cast their ballots for Hillary Clinton in November.
'One more thing before I introduce this genius of comedy,' Madonna, 58, told the audience moments before Schumer, 35, took the stage. 'If you vote for Hillary Clinton, I will give you a blow job - and I'm good!'
Giving fans a thumbs-up, the no-holds-barred entertainer added, 'I take my time, I make lots of eye contact and I do swallow.'
This wasn't the first time the duo shared the Madison Square Garden stage together. Last September, Schumer opened up for Madonna's Rebel Heart tour during three of her NYC stops.
From Us Weekly
'So much fun opening up for Amy Schumer at Madison Square Garden tonight!!. It was short but it was sweet (like me). I'm forever changed! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Love you Amy!! 💘💘💘'
'Love and Respect this woman so much!! Thanks for letting me get on your stage @amyschumer 💘😂'

The past week I had been involved in a number of outdoor interests as usual. One morning I packed up my fishing gear and headed north of Dayton, Pennsylvania for a few hours of fishing. I visited the back waters of the Mahoning Dam. I used to love fishing here in my earlier days, so I try to get back occasionally to fish and enjoy the solitude of the area.
Mahoning Creek is the actual waterways flowing through the deep, and steep surrounding hills. The dam was built years ago as a flood control measure for Pittsburgh miles away.
The water is deep, and green. The shoreline is brushy with very big rocks scattered about. As for the fishing, I caught some Pumpkinseed Sunfish; bluegills and smallmouth bass. I was entertained by, at least, three water snakes all morning. they were moving about among the rocks and floating limbs.
I, also, spent some time along the Allegheny River north of Kittanning. On this morning, a change in the weather became the norm. The winds increased, and the temperatures were chilling. However, I did catch a nice Channel catfish, and a Smallmouth Bass.
I saw a mature Bald eagle this morning flying across the river. I saw a huge carp at about six feet from the shore. I would estimate the behemoth to be around 40 inches in length. I, also, saw a big muskie along shore.
Bob, and I hunted gobblers on Thursday morning. We closed in to about 80 yards from the gobbling bird. Unfortunately, we were on the wrong side of a gulley, but we had to play the hand we were dealt. A second bird gobbled with the first when all went quiet. The humidity and temps were rapidly climbing, so we went to the homestead to do prep work for the coming garage.
I traveled to Moraine State Park to do some hiking on Tuesday, June 3. We were experiencing some cool comfortable hiking weather. I explored the Sunken garden Trail and walked on another trail as well.
I saw a 5-6 rabbits and squirrels. Later, after the hike, I fished a little. I caught a number of bluegills. Here I watched a wood duck family; mallards; lots of geese, and a beaver.
Later today the garage will be arriving. Anxious to put this behind, and see this task completed.

The OSP has charged him with eight counts of using public office for profit and nine counts of directly and indirectly influencing the procurement process to obtain an unfair advantage in the award of a procurement contract.
A statement issued by the Office of the Special Prosecutor to announce these charges noted that the brother-in-law of Adjenim Boateng, Francis Kwaku Arhin has also been charged with one count of using public office for profit.
The statement added that “the two persons will be arraigned before the High Court (Criminal Division), Accra on Wednesday, 25 May, 2022.”
Meanwhile, new information emerging indicates that the dismissed Public Procurement Authority (PPA) boss has allegedly withdrawn all funds from his frozen bank accounts.
This flies in the face of a court order not to release cash from the account to Mr. Adjenim Boateng Adjei.
Investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni, whose investigative piece exposed Mr. Adjei’s underhand dealings, told JoyNews that he has received information about this new development.
Speaking on the Midday News on Wednesday, the 2012 GJA ‘Journalist of the year’ explained that the accounts which were frozen during the investigation by the then Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, were for a period upon which it needed the court’s justification.
“When Martin Amidu froze the accounts, it was for a period, and he had to go back to the court to justify why the accounts should remain frozen. In the process, he resigned and left, and it took some time for his successor to take office,” he said.
Mr. Awuni noted that during the period when the new Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, had to take over, the dismissed PPA boss went through his lawyers to get a court to lift the freezing order and withdraw all monies from his frozen accounts.
According to him, the dismissed PPA boss currently has no pesewa in those accounts, which were frozen when they contained about GH¢41.5 million.
“In the intervening period, we are told A.B. Adjei went through his lawyers and got the court to lift his frozen order; after that, even before Kissi Agyebeng took office, he took away all the funds that were deposited in his account.
“If you look at the statement Martin Amidu released on the work he had done with the Auditor General, his accounts had huge deposits totalling about GH¢41.5 million within the two and half years he was in office. The information we are getting is that not a pesewa is left in those accounts,” he added.

The media are full of news about electric cars. The $100,000 Tesla electric sports car is going to be sold soon,Energy Costs of Driving Electric Cars Articles automakers are falling over each other to announce new electric vehicles, and entrepreneurs across the world are jockeying for venture capital.
Petroleum prices have jumped during the last year and everybody is feeling the pain at the pump. Not a single soul is concerned about filling up the batteries of his next electric car with electricity. After all, you just plug the car into the next receptacle and there seem to be no appreciable costs.
Joe owns a Corvette, a high performance car manufactured by General Motors, which according to the car manufacturer drives 25 miles per gallon.
Joe’s monthly commute is 1000 miles, he drives very carefully, and actually achieves 25 MPG on his daily trip going to work and running errands. At $4.00 per gallon at the pump he is paying $160 for gasoline every month.
Joe is thinking about buying the Tesla, an electric sports car. He tried to find the cost of electricity for driving this car. He could not find any data anywhere. Joe knows that he must explain to his wife why he needs to save energy and money before buying the Tesla, a new, very fast electric sports car.
The Tesla will accelerate faster than his Corvette. There is no doubt that an electric vehicle can have a faster acceleration than a gasoline car. Electric motors and liquid fuel engines are just two different devices converting electric energy or petroleum fuel energy into mechanical energy. Electric motors can generate much higher torque at the wheels at much lower turning speeds.
In comparison, electric motors will have several shortcomings, too. They certainly will emit more pollutants and more carbon dioxide as long as coal is used for producing electric power. Overall energy efficiency of the electric car, from power plant to the road, is still worse than that of a modern automobile propelled by an advanced combustion engine.
The biggest drawback of electric cars is the small number of miles they can drive after a complete recharge. Additionally, the charging of an empty electric battery will take forever, high performance batteries are expensive, and will only have a limited life expectancy.
What about energy costs for driving an electric car compared to a gasoline powered car? Both vehicles will have to store energy. The electric car stores electric energy in its battery, the combustion engine powered car stores energy in the form of gasoline or diesel fuel in its fuel tank.
Now let us take a comparative look at the cost of storing and paying for enough electric energy or liquid fuel energy to drive 100 miles. Let us assume that both cars will have the same power requirements to drive 100 miles. In this respect the match-up between Tesla and Corvette is perfect. But how do we compare prices at the gas station with utility costs at the receptacle?
Energy contained in gasoline can be converted into mechanical energy only at the limited energy conversion efficiency of a typical heat engine. The Corvette engine will have an energy conversion efficiency of about 35%. (Fuel fired engines may eventually reach 50% peak energy conversion efficiency after decades of future advancements). Conversion efficiency of electric power from the receptacle into stored energy first and into mechanical energy later is much higher at about 85%.
The energy content of gasoline is 131 MJ/gallon (megajoule per gallon). For driving 100 miles the Corvette will burn four gallons of gasoline or 524 MJ/100 miles. Only 35% of the energy in gasoline or 183 MJ will be used to propel the Corvette. This ev echarging is the mechanical energy transmitted to the rear wheels of the Corvette. Virtually the same amount of energy must be transferred to the wheels of the electric car, the Tesla. Both cars are very similar in size and driving characteristics.
However, the Tesla has to take a little more energy from the receptacle because the charging, storing, and discharging of electricity in the battery experiences energy losses. These losses are about 15% of the electric energy taken from the receptacle and will not be available at the wheels. The Tesla owner will, therefore, pay 1.15 times as much to get the same energy to the wheels as the Corvette or 211 MJ per 100 miles. Electric energy is priced in the form of dollar per kilowatt hour or $/kWh. The average price of electricity in the US is $0.09/kWh. The factor for converting energy measured in MJ to energy measured in kWh is 0.2778 kWh/MJ.
To drive 100 miles, the Tesla will consume 58.6 kWh of electricity at a cost of $5.28. The Corvette will consume 4 gallons of gasoline at a cost of $16. Now we know that the Tesla will save about $10 per 100 miles or $10,000 over 100,000 miles.

- Texas’s Lt. governor, a strong advocate of North Carolina’s controversial “bathroom bill,” is proposing a similar law for his state, reports SHRM. Dan Patrick opposed a bill that would have repealed North Carolina’s law.
- North Carolina’s bill prohibits people whose gender at birth differs from their gender identity from using publicly owned restrooms that correspond with their identity.
- Patrick insists that his state’s bill wasn’t drafted to discriminate against LGBT but, instead, is aimed at protecting women and girls from being accosted, assaulted or harassed in public restrooms.
Patrick’s bill bars transgender people from using restrooms in public schools, government buildings and university campuses. It also would prevent local governments from passing laws that publicly accommodate transgender people.
When North Carolina passed its “bathroom bill,” the boycotts that followed cost the state $400 million, reports the Business Insider. Big businesses in the state also came out strongly against the law, with some companies threatening to potentially move business elsewhere in response.
Patrick’s proposal and North Carolina’s bill prove that the controversy over LGBT rights is not settled. More states, especially those with conservative GOP governors and legislators, could continue to pass similar laws.
For the record: The EEOC offers employers guidance on transgender bathroom policies, noting that it considers implementation of such laws sex discrimination.

gold prices OptionsThere are 2 unique positions which might be taken: A lengthy (invest in) place can be an obligation to just accept delivery of your Bodily metallic, even though a short (offer) situation will be the obligation to generate delivery.
The place gold price tag refers to the price of gold for speedy shipping. Transactions for bullion coins are nearly always priced using the location value as being a foundation. The spot gold market is investing really near 24 hrs each day as there is nearly always a location someplace on the planet that may be actively getting orders for gold transactions.
Due to the fact historical Egypt, gold has become considered a keep of prosperity. Historically, Irrespective of its volatility, gold historically performs very well in the course of intervals of financial turbulence or financial weak point. That will help stabilize an overall economy, a central bank will loosen its financial plan or the government will introduce fiscal initiative, these actions can impression a country’s currency and eventually enhance domestic gold demand.
Each individual significant mint makes their own personal gold bullion cash and therefore are exceptionally well-known for buyers who want to maintain Actual physical metal. Even though only government mints can make gold cash having a monetary deal with value; nevertheless, the face worth is very well below a coin’s intrinsic worth.
Started in 1987, the World Gold Council (generally known as the WGC) is the marketplace improvement Corporation to the gold business accountable for stimulating demand, producing progressive uses for gold and getting new goods to the industry.
Likewise for just a sale, the bullion you are promoting is reserved with your account until finally you get the dollars, normally following two Doing the job days.
Even though you can buy gold in almost any currency on earth, it is necessary to realize that finally every thing is based on the worth with the U.S. dollar. Provided that the U.S. is the whole world’s most significant economic climate and The most stable, the dollar has grown to be a reserve forex, which means that it is held in major portions by other governments and major institutions.
Gold is sometimes often called financial metals as it has historic utilizes for a currency and is also seen being a store of worth. Though fairly smaller, gold does even have an industrial component since it is fewer reactive, a great conductor, remarkably malleable and doesn’t corrode. What's Place GOLD?
In addition to government mints there are a selection of personal mints that create identical solutions known as gold rounds. Of all federal government mints just the South African’s Krugerrand gold coin doesn't have a confront price and its benefit is totally depending on the global gold selling price. Listed here are the very best 5 gold cash available.
Due to the fact then, other central banking companies have executed this Resource such as the European Central Lender as well as Lender of Japan.

Doctors’ own mental health issuesBMJ 2016; 352 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.i1238 (Published 16 March 2016) Cite this as: BMJ 2016;352:i1238

Kathy Oxtoby investigates why so many doctors experience mental health problems
Life as a doctor can be stressful. The profession is not only physically but also mentally and emotionally demanding. This is especially true if doctors are working with limited resources, have little support, and are working in a constantly changing organisation.
“Work stress occurs when the demands and pressures of work outweigh our ability to cope as a health professional. As a doctor the job is often stressful because we have multiple important decisions to make with limited time and resources, and it can feel like juggling a number of plates,” says Jim Bolton, a London based consultant psychiatrist and member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists.
Surveys have highlighted just how stressful working in healthcare can be. A recent Medical Protection survey of over 600 members revealed that 85% have experienced mental health issues, with stress, anxiety, low self esteem, and depression being among the most common complaints.1 Doctors’ organisations have also expressed concern about the stresses members of the profession are under. Last year, a report from the Royal College of Physicians noted that 38% of NHS staff in England had experienced work related stress.2 The report also showed that less than two thirds of trusts (65%) have a staff health and wellbeing plan in place.
Last July, the Royal College of General Practitioners warned that fatigue among overworked general practitioners is becoming so prevalent that it could jeopardise patient safety. The college claimed that unrelenting and increasing workload pressures are pushing GPs to their limits.
Why are doctors feeling stressed?
Doctors experience mental health problems for many reasons. Bolton says factors that contribute to work stress include staff shortages, lack of administrative support, high patient demand, abuse and aggression from patients, inadequate facilities, and lack of management support. “And what comes out time and again is a lack of personal control over our work. The more we are dictated to, the less flexibility we have and the more stressful our job becomes,” says Bolton.
Rob Poole, professor of social psychiatry at Bangor University and chair of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, Wales, who treats clinicians with mental health issues, adds, “Not being able to take appropriate steps for patients is a major stress—and doctors talk about lying awake worrying about what’s happening to their patients because they want the best for them.”
Doctors use their own coping mechanisms, but Bolton believes these individual coping styles can have an impact on stress levels.
“If we see ourselves as ‘superhuman,’ for example, with the intention that we can cure everything and our care is always perfect that would be a recipe for stress. The most important thing I was taught by one of my trainers is perfectionism is a recipe for burnout,” advises Bolton.
Criticisms of profession add to stress
An increasingly litigious society coupled with the threat of national media vilification adds to the pressures doctors are under. While acknowledging the value of having a collaborative approach with patients and families, “the patient empowerment revolution has created some additional stress,” suggests Seb Gray, vice chair of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health trainees committee.
“Most hospitals now have lawyers in the entrance foyer. It becomes a sad state of affairs when defensive medicine replaces evidence-based. Doctors are walking on egg shells and fantastic clinicians are changed forever by simple human error,” says Gray.
The government’s current hardline attitude to doctors may also contribute to a feeling of being under pressure.
Clare Gerada, medical director of the NHS Practitioner Health Programme, says, “People have gone into medicine with altruistic virtues, yet at the same time we have a government that appears to denigrate the professionalism that is hardwired into the DNA of doctors from an early age. This doesn’t sit well with individuals who just want to help others. It’s an abusive relationship.”
Doctors still feel stigma
While there is growing awareness about mental health issues in general, some doctors still view any mental health problem as a shameful secret.
“There is still a stigma about doctors’ mental health issues. If you’re depressed, if you’re off work, or if you’re referred to the GMC [General Medical Council], can you imagine what this means for your career? There is a career risk, a registration risk, a risk of exposure. As doctors, you’re not allowed to be unwell,” says Gerada.
Confidentiality issues can deter doctors from seeking help for mental health difficulties. Clinicians are often concerned about what their patients and their colleagues will think of them. BMJ Careers spoke to doctors with mental health problems, who wished to remain anonymous.
One consultant surgeon reached a point where he thought about committing suicide, and while he is now receiving support, he believes that mental health issues that doctors experience are recognised “far too late.” He adds, “When we’re depressed we don’t know who to go to, or we fear asking for help.”
A consultant with depression believes some doctors “simply don’t understand mental illness.”
“If I had a physical illness I could prove I had a problem. But if you have depression people question your competence to do your job,” he says.

Shares rose by 2.1% over the two-day lifespan of the position, or a 390% annual rate. The options produced a 100.0% yield on debit, for a 18,250% annual rate.
The communications networking tools company Ciena Corp. (CIEN), headquartered in Hanover, Maryland, publishes earnings on Thursday, March 5, prior to the opening bell.
CIEN has Weeklys among its options inventories, and I shall use the MAR1 series of options, which trades for the last time on March 6, two days hence.
[CIEN in Wikipedia]
The goal of my trade is to construct a direction-neutral position with a zone of profitability at expiration covering all of the one standard deviation range implied by volatility and options pricing, or the 30-day hourly chart support and resistance range, whichever is wider.
CIEN has been in a wide-swinging sideways trend since its Great Recession low in 2009. It is taking the form of a symmetrical triangle whose boundaries at present are approximately $27 on the upside the $16.50 on the downside.
An upswing that began in September 2014 hit what seems most likely to be a reversal within the ongoing leg up in early March.
I anticipate that the reversal will end above the $19.91 support level set and then continue to highs above the $21.21 resistance level.

Although Zacks Investment Research is neutral about CIEN's prospects, brokerage analysts in the the aggregate are quite bullish, with an enthusiasm index of 53% and 71% giving the stock a "strong buy" rating. My directional score is positive.
Given those scores, I'm willing to give up a bit of coverage on the downside in return for greater coverage to the upside.
The proposed trade below has a low end (not including the premium) that is nine cents above the lower boundary of the chart range, and an upper end that is $1.79 above the chart range.

Decision for My Account
I've opened an iron condor on CIEN as described above.
-- Tim Bovee, Portland, Oregon, March 4, 2015
My volatility trading rules can be read here. For a discussion of the rationale behind the rules, see my essay, "Rules for very short term trades".
The directional score is calculated as the sum of the following:
- Zacks rating --The Zacks ratings are translated as follows: 1=2, 2=1, 3=0, 4=-1 and 5=-2.
- Enthusiasm rating --: A single percentage derived from the number of analysts whose opinions are in one of five categories: Strong buy, buy, hold, sell and strong sell.
- Strong buy share -- The percentage of all analysts who rank the stock strong buy. If the share is 60% or greater, the score is 1; if 40% or less, then the score is -1; otherwise, the score is zero.
- Ethusiasm momentum -- The score is 1 if today’s enthusiasm rating is larger than the rating 30 days earlier; otherwise, the score is zero.
- 30-day direction -- The trend that best describes the 30-day chart: 1 for an uptrend, -1 for a downtrend and zero for a sideways trend.
- One-day direction -- The trend that best describes the one-day chart: 1 for an uptrend, -1 for a downtrend and zero for a sideways trend.

Readers call for a three-day weekend as more businesses make changes to office hours
This decision comes from our recent poll on social media where readers were asked: “As more businesses make changes to their office hours, would you prefer to work four longer days, and have a three-day weekend?”
Out of the 278 people that voted on the Gazette poll, the majority (89%) of readers voted for a long weekend leaving just 31 people voting against them.
Across social media, local readers have had their say on the decision.
Nathan David is happy to work longer hours. He said: “Great idea - used to work 8-6 four days a week with a day off. (Mon week one, Tues week two etc). Meant you got a four-day weekend once a month.”
Bryony Jade Fucile is all for the decision. She said: “As a shift worker, three days off would be the absolute dream.”
Graeme Wharton commented: “As a bus driver I'd love a three-day weekend.”
Barry Watts and Kevin Bolton said: “I already do.”
Not everyone is happy about working longer hours though.
Keiron Shaw said: “No chance. Childcare is expensive enough.”
Betty Henderson agreed: “Some people would love to do this but childcare is expensive.”
Carole Moyes said: “Nice idea but when you are self-employed you work seven days a week and 24 hours a day if need be!”
The question also raised concerns for some.
Graham Storey said: “So who is going to work the weekends?”

Fledermaus is the German word for Bat, and is literally translated as "fluttering mouse" which makes it sound less intimidating if you ask me. I like to imagine that this is Count Dracula, or some other classic vampire, returning to his castle at the end of a long night of terrifying the villagers. If you get this little guy on a canvas tote bag, it makes a spooktacular Trick or Treat bag! You'll love this spooky Halloween t-shirt.

The music that Morton Feldman produced in the 10 years before his death in 1986 is among the most beautiful composed in the second half of the 20th century. The majority of those works are chamber pieces for various combinations of strings and piano, but a couple are for piano alone, and one of those is Triadic Memories, which received its first performance at the ICA in London in 1981. Further performances here have been rare, but Alexander Melnikov, better known for his performances of much more mainstream repertoire, devoted his latest Wigmore recital to this hugely demanding work.
Demanding for both the pianist and his audience, that is, for though by the standards of late Feldman Triadic Memories is a relatively short work – Melnikov’s performance took just over 90 minutes – its dynamic level rarely rises above pianissimo, and its musical material is often very basic, plaiting small sets of pitches into irregularly repeated chords, rocking ostinatos and wandering melodic shapes that can float free, or remain tethered to the bass.
All these ideas pass by like a frieze that’s unpredictable and directionless; it’s sometimes disrupted by unpredictable silences or frozen into nagging repetitions. Feldman gives no tempo indications, though the music seems to define its own natural pace, but the pedalling instructions are carefully prescribed, with instructions to play some sections with the sustaining pedal half-down, so that pitches acquire a fuzzy edge, and the music seems to slip out of focus, just out of reach.
It’s a bewitching process, which gradually draws listeners into its minutiae, and Melnikov’s performance, apparently the first of Triadic Memories he’d ever given in public, caught every detail of it exactly. He had his audience hanging on each change of inflection and shift of colour, so that every note mattered.

This six-acre park in the village center comprises a wooded hillock that has served as a town meeting place since the early 19th century. The knoll was purchased by Theodore Sedgwick, Jr., in 1834, who wished to preserve it as a public park. In 1853, local resident Mary Hopkins Goodrich formed the Laurel Hill Association, which used the site as a meeting place. One of the earliest civic beautification society’s in the nation, the organization took its name from the parkland, which it vowed to protect in perpetuity. The society built a trail, carved a clearing in the woods, and made a grass-covered berm against a large rock that functioned as a rostrum. The Sedgwick family transferred ownership of the land to the association in 1878.
Today characterized by dense thickets of native hemlocks, white pines, and oaks, the land was once covered in mountain laurel. A narrow trail winds through rugged rock outcroppings up to the summit. At the base of a massive, vertical rock projection is a grassy lawn area and a rectangular, rustic stone rostrum, designed by sculptor Daniel Chester French in 1905 and dedicated to Henry Dwight Sedgwick. The Prescott Butler Memorial, erected on the summit in 1928, is a semi-circular granite bench with a carved garland on the back, nestled in a grove.
Laurel Hill Park was listed within Stockbridge’s Main Street Historic District in the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
