"Having Poinciana Medical Center So Close to Home Saved my Life"
It was a typical Thursday afternoon for retirees Howard and Eileen Soriano. Eileen was in the bedroom cleaning and Howard had just finished mopping the kitchen and living room floor. He felt a little dizzy so he sat down in his recliner. "I must have passed out," said Howard. "I woke up and got sick to my stomach. I went in to the kitchen to tell my wife and passed out again hitting my head on the wall."
From her vantage point in the bedroom, Eileen saw Howard enter the kitchen and fall. "I went to him and saw that he was unconscious. I called 911," she said. "When the EMS team arrived they recognized that Howard was in serious condition. They were going to take us to a hospital 30 minutes away, but the lead EMT said there wasn't time. We needed to go to Poinciana Medical Center which, thankfully, was just a few minutes away." Howard had suffered a massive pulmonary embolism (MPE.)
When they arrived at PMC's emergency department Howard went into cardiac arrest. "My heart stopped," he said. "They had to do CPR on me. I was later told by several doctors that it was a miracle I was alive. If it had taken another ten minutes to receive emergency care, I wouldn't have made it."
A pulmonary embolism is a blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in the lungs. It is usually caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from the legs or other parts of the body. The clots block blood flow to the lungs and can be life-threatening. Prompt treatment greatly reduces the risk of death. A massive pulmonary embolism like the one experienced by Howard Soriano, can also cause cardiac arrest. The heart stops pumping due to the clot. "I was very, very fortunate," said Howard. "I had a worst case scenario with the embolism and cardiac arrest."
While Howard doesn't remember all that occurred in those life-saving moments at Poinciana Medical Center, his wife does. "They were all just wonderful," she said. "From the EMT who made the decision to take us directly to Poinciana to the doctors and staff at the hospital, they were great. They were knowledgeable, very capable, and experienced in this kind of extreme emergency." Beyond the quality of care, Eileen said their compassion was exceptional. "They were very kind and pleasant with me. They kept me informed throughout the process making sure I knew what was happening with Howard. They took care of me as well as my husband."
Howard's health journey isn't over. His physicians are still doing tests to determine exactly what caused the pulmonary embolism so they can better prevent another one in the future. In the meantime, he's doing as much as he can and hopes to get back to his long walks in the neighborhood he used to enjoy prior to his MPE. As far as his neighborhood hospital, he's glad it's there. "Having Poinciana Medical Center so close to home saved my life."

Gate valves and globe valves belong to the category of linear motion valves which are fluid flow control valves. Gate valves are linear motion valves that feature a sliding gate-like disc. This disc moves up and down within the valve body to either open or close the flow passage. When fully lifted, gate valves allow unobstructed flow, and lowering the gate creates a tight seal to stop the flow. They are designed for full flow capacity and low-pressure drop, making them suitable for applications where minimal restriction is required. Industries such as oil and gas, water treatment, and power generation commonly use gate valves.
Whereas globe valves, also known as stop valves, have a movable plug-like disc and a stationary ring seat. The disc moves perpendicular to the flow direction, providing precise control over the flow rate. By adjusting the position of the disc, the flow can be increased, decreased, or shut off. Globe valves are versatile and can handle a wide range of pressures and temperatures. They find applications in HVAC systems, steam pipelines, and industrial processes that require moderate control accuracy.
While gate valves excel in shutoff capability, globe valves are known for their flow control and regulating functions. The choice between these valves depends on specific system requirements, including the desired flow rate, pressure, and control accuracy. Perfect Engineering Services are one the most efficient gate and globe valve manufacturers in India.


Watch: 7 Reasons Why Audi Built the Wild New 2019 Q8
Find out what sets the new flagship apart from the Q7
With an already luxurious Q7 topping its SUV lineup, you might ask why Audi needed to add another high-end sport ute to the mix. But the 2019 Audi Q8 is more than just a shorter, wider, and lower version of the Q7—it's a spacious five-seat SUV coupe intended to serve as Audi's flagship.
Helping to set the Q8 apart from its three-row sibling is a rear design that pays tribute to the original 1985 Audi Quattro, with a sloping roofline that ends at the D-pillar. Inside, an illuminated Quattro badge is placed above the glove compartment right next to a 10.1-inch touchscreen running Audi's new MMI Touch Response system.
The Q8 is ready for any terrain with a height-adjustable adaptive air suspension that offers up to 10 inches of ground clearance in Offroad mode. Audi's newest SUV is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged V-6 that makes 335 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque with a little help from a mild hybrid setup. With 22-inch wheels, the flagship rolls on the biggest standard rims of any Audi.
In our 2019 Audi Q8 First Drive, we said, "With its superior ground clearance, useful technology, and decent power, Audi's flagship SUV is a sporty model that enjoys being outdoors. And with a look that's different from the rest of Audi's lineup and its competition, it offers buyers a new alternative that's attractive and dynamic."
Check out 7 Reasons Why Audi Built the Wild New 2019 Q8 in the video above.

Florida-based metalcore band Wage War is on fire right now. Their latest release, Pressure, dropped only a few days ago, finally delivering on the hype that has surrounded the release of their latest album for some time. The leading track off the album, “Grave,” has also been paired with a brutal music video focused on a theme shared with the entire album: rebirth.
Obviously it’s an extreme, but it’s about being caught up in a toxic cycle with people, and eventually, you just have to let them out of your life. That’s kind of what the song is about, that rest-in-peace of that friendship, relationship or whatever that toxic thing is. It’s just part of growing up. Your friends are fewer, but they’re better.
Cody Quistad on “Grave”
The theming of this music video is crucial because Pressure represents a new direction for Wage War — if you didn’t catch the Metal Monday post on Ernie Ball from last month, now would be the perfect time. Check it out to take a dive into the past releases of Wage War and see what they had to say about the process of their latest album.
Throughout the video, you can spot bassist Chris Gaylord rocking his Music Man Stingray bass. To catch Wage War on their international tour for the album, take a look at the dates on their official website.

Increasingly, our staff in Jordan is seeing children and young people like Ahmad who need mental health and physical therapycare to cope with their traumatic experiences. Now, more than a third of our clients in Jordan are under the age of 18. Syrian adults report that the well-being and potential of their children constitute their greatest source of stress. Parents worry constantly about what their children have seen and experienced.
Children like Ahmad have survived targeted torture and random violence. Family members have been abducted or killed. Boys and girls as young as nine have been raped. These children and young people now struggle with debilitating nightmares, fear and anxiety.
Few children are able to attend school because of safety concerns or family obligations. Those who attend school may be marginalized by teachers. They may be bullied — or become bullies themselves. Syrian children also often express overwhelming responsibility for protecting their family. While still young, they may stand guard at apartment doors or resist sharing their feelings with their parents.
To help heal these young survivors, the counseling and physical therapy staff developed ten-week joint physical therapy/counseling groups that provide age-appropriate activities. “Young children can’t verbally express themselves very well. They don’t have the vocabulary to explain their feelings,” said Veronica Laveta, clinical advisor. “And they typically don’t have the ability to sit still for long periods of time, so the combined groups address both physical and emotional concerns.”
“On the counseling side, we’re helping the children understand that their feelings of anger and sadness are normal,” said Veronica. “Then they are learning to identify those feelings in themselves and find appropriate ways to express those feelings.”
“We have many fun activities that reinforce the counseling,” said MaryAnn de Ruiter, physical therapy advisor. “But physical therapy itself promotes healing through greater body awareness. The children learn how to use their bodies to interact more positively with peers or improve their self-confidence.”
During a typical meeting, leaders discuss an emotion such as anger, fear or sadness. Then, through a story or role-play, the children learn healthy ways to manage their emotions.
“Trauma happens just as intensely in the mind through thoughts as it does in the body through physical reactions,” said Ilona Fricker, physiotherapist/trainer. “We teach children to recognize that when they feel sad that it’s not just in their minds, but also in their bodies. Their posture changes. Their heads hang low. They walk slowly. During the groups, we talk about sadness and act it out. Then we talk about happiness and act that out. Finally, we teach them how they can use their bodies to make themselves feel better. For example, lifting your head up and straightening your back will stimulate positive emotions when you’re feeling bad.”
One favorite activity is “Kings and Queens.” One at a time, each child walks into the room wearing a crown and sits in a chair decorated as a throne. The other children then compliment the king or queen. The activity teaches the children how to carry themselves and to recognize feelings of pride and confidence.
The children learn other simple techniques to help them manage their feelings, such as focused breathing, counting, self-talk, guided imagery, singing and dancing. When practiced in the group and then at home, children do a better job managing their fears and anger.
Because of the nature of the Syrian conflict, many families are fragmented. Frequently, mothers are left to parent and provide for their children alone, while also dealing with their own grief and trauma. For parents and children alike, managing emotions is extremely difficult.
Through education groups, parents learn about typical child development issues, as well as common behaviors of children who have experienced trauma. The classes also provide suggestions to help both parents and children heal from their experiences, such as alternatives to physical discipline, speaking quietly, relaxation techniques, soothing rituals and having physical exercise.
Parents also learn the physical therapy techniques their children are learning so they can do them together to strengthen the family bonds.
“Both the parent education groups and the child physical therapy/counseling groups have been helpful in bringing a little peace to Syrian families,” said Veronica. “With more peaceful homes, these children have more hope for healthy, productive lives.”
After Ahmad’s group ended, his mother reported to CVT staff how much he had improved. Ahmad taught his mother breathing exercises and they now practice breathing together. Instead of hitting his siblings when he gets angry, he puts on the radio and dances. “He has changed and is almost back to normal before the war,” she said.
*The client’s name has been changed to protect his identity.
CVT’s activities in Jordan are financed by the United States Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (BPRM), the United Nations Voluntary Fund for Victims of Torture, and the support of the American People through USAID.

•When a child suspected of having an acute appendicitis is admitted, it is important to keep the child NPO and to determine when the child last ate. If the diagnosis is confirmed, the surgery will be performed without delay as an emergency measure.
•Treatment for appendicitis is surgical removal of the appendix by laparoscopy before it ruptures.
•Symptoms of appendicitis includes nausea, vomiting, RLQ and periumbilical pain, and anorexia. Vomiting usually follows the onset of pain. Vomiting that precedes pain is suggestive of an intestinal obstruction.

Actress, Adunni Ade talks more about life as a single parent, suicide attempt
By Rita Chioma
Multi-talented actress, Adunni Ade and her handsome sons, 9-year- old D’Marion and 5-year-old Ayden, are the cover stars for the latest issue of Motherhood In-Style Magazine.
In this exclusive interview with MIM, Adunni puts away the entertainer we already love and let’s us see the person we hardly know.
She opened up on life as a single parent, how she disciplines, why she quit America’s Next Top Model and details of her personal challenges she had never shared before.
On what happened with the father of her children, she said: “Well, I just had to make that decision though it took me a long time to realise or stop lying to myself that it was never going to work out even though I tried as much as I could. I just decided that what’s best for me is to walk away and still be here and be with my kids and still have the opportunity of being the best mother possible, so yeah, I had to make that decision. It was really tough, it was really painful; I think that hurt me the most out of anything that I have ever been through in my life, walking away was the hardest thing to do.”
When asked if they were married and how long they were together, the proud mother said: “Well, we were never married. We were together for 8 years but in the state of Kentucky, it’s a common wealth state and common wealth state is if you live together for a long period of time you might as well be considered married but on paper, no, never been married before.”
Suffering from depression as a result of her troubled relationship, an emotional Adunni talked about fear of losing her life, leaving her kids and professional intervention that helped to get her through.
She says, “I think the major thing that got me through was the fear that somebody else would raise my children if I sat in that relationship, that was the scariest thing for me, that my kids would see somebody else as their mother. Depression is no joke. A lot of people in this country, Nigeria, don’t want to admit that depression is an illness. People don’t know the extent to which it affects the mind.
Not a lot of people know this; in the past I have tried to commit suicide because it was just too much, just too much for me but I guess God loves me enough to still keep me here.”
Life as a single mum: “Well, even before I moved back I definitely didn’t like placing myself in that ‘single mother’ status. I’m a parent. Yes, it takes two to become a parent but hey, when it’s one, let that one do the best they can. Now, how I have been able to cope in Nigeria? The same way I was able to cope in the States, doing it all by myself. I am truly happy that I experienced certain things over there in the States. If I had experienced those things here in Nigeria, I probably would have just killed myself long time ago because this country is tough. But as tough as this country and its people are, I’m also a tough cookie and I never give up. If I set my mind to do something, regardless of what it is, I will get it done. The time for myself is gone, when you have kids it’s not about you anymore, it becomes about the other lives that you have brought into this world so my main focus, my main goal is about my children and they have been my drive and my motivation from day one.”


The Washington Post reports:
The group calling itself Anonymous claimed credit Thursday for hacking into NATO servers and stealing 1 gigabyte of sensitive information as part of its campaign to harass and humiliate prominent targets.
The group has attempted to post online some documents collected in the incident and vows to post more soon, but it also said it has decided to withhold some others because posting them would be “irresponsible.” NATO did not confirm the group’s account.
“NATO is aware that a hackers group has released what it claims to be NATO classified documents on the Internet,” Damien Arnaud, a spokesman for the trans-Atlantic military alliance, said in an e-mail. “NATO security experts are investigating these claims. We strongly condemn any leak of classified documents, which can potentially endanger the security of NATO allies, armed forces and citizens.”
Groups calling themselves “hacktivists” — which target Web sites and servers in pursuit of political agendas — have joined the list of cyber threats identified by government and corporate security officials.
“It is one of the up-and-coming biggest concerns for the FBI,” said Robert E. Nickel, unit chief in the FBI’s Public Private Alliance Unit, speaking at a cyber conference last week.

You know that feeling when words just really hit you in the gut? Not in the bad I’m-gonna-knock-the-wind-out-of-you-and-steal-your-lunch-money type of way, but rather the I’m-gonna-slap-you-upside-with-truth-you’ve-felt-but-haven’t-been-able-to-articulate type of way.
Well, the first time I heard this poem from Sara Kay (one of my heros, by the way), I felt like I had been punched in the gut. So I listened to it again. And again. And again. And in some ways, I’ve never stopped listening.
“I know … you’ve taken to wearing around your father’s hand me down anger, but I wish you wouldn’t/It’s a few sizes too big and everyone can see it doesn’t fit you, makes you look silly, hangs loose in all the wrong places, even if it does match your skin color.”
I come from a family far more beautiful than I deserve. And even though I think my parents are quite possibly the greatest parents in the world (they never bought me a husky puppy, but I’m learning to let that go), I was still raised with prejudices. I was still raised with anger. Not anger directed at me (except for that one time I tied my brother to a tree), but anger toward history, politics, race and broken bones and hearts that were never fully mended. I carry with me their hand me downs and my grandparents’ hand me downs and my whole family tree’s hand me downs. Is it too bold of me to say everyone does – at least to a degree?
“But back then, back then there was only sand/until someone drew a line/someone built a wall/someone threw a stone.”
Neutrality in the journalism world isn’t put on a pedestal quite like it used to be. Now, we’re taught in journalism classes we shouldn’t strive for numbness when we report on an issue that hits close to home. Rather, we should understand where our biases or fault lines (a.k.a. hand me downs) come from, so we can recognize them and see past them. We can move past them, even. And I think that was what Sara Kay was ultimately trying to convey in this poem. In order to move past our angers and prejudices, we have to first recognize where they came from. And then we have to make the conscious choice to refuse to pass them down to our siblings, future children and even to our writing.

Lactobacillus plantarum modulate gut microbiota and intestinal immunity in cyclophosphamide-treated mice model
- Journal Article
Gut microbiota (GM) contributes to the production of immune-regulatory molecules and cytokines. However, our understanding regarding intricate relationship between Lactobacillus plantarum and GM on regulation of immune function remained limited. To investigate the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum on an immunosuppressed mouse model, we employed cyclophosphamide treatment and conducted various analysis including H&E (hematoxylineosin staining), immunohistochemistry, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and RT-PCR. Our results demonstrated that the administration of Lactobacillus plantarum had significant immunoenhancing effects in the immune-suppressed mice, as evidenced by the restoration of functional expression of specific immune markers in the spleen and an increase in the number of goblet cells in intestine (P < 0.05). Microbial taxonomic analysis revealed alterations in the gut microbiota composition, characterized by a decrease in the richness of Firmicutes and an increase in the proportion of Verrucomicrobia and Actinobacteria following cyclophosphamide treatment. Furthermore, cyclophosphamide treatment significantly suppressed the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines (P < 0.05), which were subsequently restored after administration of Lactobacillus plantarum. These observations provide valuable insights into the complex interplay between probiotics, gut microbiota, and immune system functioning. Show more

“Two militants escaped recently. Our investigation committee is working to find out how they escaped, who is responsible.”
However, after a security inspection before the Awami League conference at Suhrawardy Udyan on Friday morning, RAB Director General M Khurshid Hossain admitted that there were ‘some failures’ of the law enforcement agencies in the militant robbery incident.
“There is nothing to be alarmed about,” said the Inspector General, saying that efforts are on to nab the fleeing militants. But we are not complacent. We are taking action where necessary.
“This is an isolated incident. The situation is completely under our control. Our members are working with professionalism.”
Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Khandaker Golam Farooq was present at this time.

Jerry Wilson said it a thousand times, “Cats are so damn stupid.” White Socks had nicked herself on a tuna can three times in the last eight years. All minor lacerations.
His wife said, “Then don’t give her a sharp can!” She rushed Jerry to the emergency room. The cat oblivious to all the drama.
“Yes Mr. Wilson, your fingers will need stiches,” the ER physician said. “Aren’t you the same guy I stitched up his fingers six months ago?” Jerry nodded.
“It’s essential only your wife operate the can opener.”

My cat Lucy sleeps on my chest in the night. Sometimes I startle awake from the weight of him, afraid my heart is squeezing shut, but no. It’s just Lucy. He lays purring between my breasts, his heart to my heart.
When Lucy was a kitten, the vet told me he had a heart murmur.
“So do I,” I said.
Now, on bottomless nights, when Lucy aligns his heart with mine, and his purrs rumble through my chest, I wonder what my murmur feels like to him. And I hope with all of my heart that it feels like purring.

I am not a gnarled desire grasping
for a younger persuasion
nor a groomed garden cutting
to be tossed once withered.
I may have veined hands
and sweetbreads not fresh-baked
but I laugh deliciously
and live to knead your dreams.
So let me be your Persian cat
dug deep in the quilts
to be remembered
and I will reward you
with my purr.
Michael Thomas Ellis is looking forward to next year, trying hard to be an optimist.

They met every day.
The tabby cat appeared first, and took her place atop the old weathered table in the middle of the veranda. There she lay like a queen, her white paws tucked in, secure in her high ground advantage. The ginger cat came later and settled on the floor, never more than two meters away from the table.
They never played, never fought, never acknowledged each others existence in any way. Their relationship was a study in pretend indifference. A waste of time, to our human mind, but who were we to judge that inscrutable mystery, the cat.

15 Oct I’m Guilty.. Are You?
Yes, I’m the first to raise my hand for being guilty. No, I didn’t rob a bank or treat a business colleague badly. What I am guilty of is not utilizing this platform to address one of the major crises of our era. Why have myself and so many of my business colleagues fallen silent on the issue of the Democratic struggle in Hong Kong. Clearly, anyone who is current with recent events and understands the arc of history knows that this is a seminal moment, not only in the history of Hong Kong people and mainland China, but in the overall historical arc of Democratic peoples’ movements.
The people of Hong Kong have been compliant, hard working, dedicated, loyal citizens ever since their province was returned to communist China by the British in 1997. Hong Kong has become a thriving commercial and industrial business center. In fact it’s regarded as one of the business capitals of the world, and yet even this level of profitability and global monetary impact the economy of Hong Kong has conferred on mainland China has not been enough for the communist leadership in that country.
The entirely healthy impulse of the people of Hong Kong to continue the one-state, two systems rule of law has been wholly, completely and surreptitiously undermined by the communist regime for many years. The result of this long-term sabotage of the Hong Kong political system has been to leave the residents of Hong Kong no choice but to voluntarily, in most instances calmly, and in all instances with great dignity, protest the infamy of the behavior of the Chinese government.
You can read the facts and the latest developments elsewhere. This blog is about asking a question of why all of us are not writing about, commenting on, and agonizing over the plight of Hong Kong people. What exactly are we too busy doing that we can’t take the time to mark and note on social media platforms our support for their Democratic rule of law and our disgust at the ever-increasing movement of the fascist Chinese state to entirely eliminate the Democratic government in Hong Kong.
Go ahead. I’m waiting to hear your answer. What else do you really have to do that is so critical that you cannot stand up at one of the most important Democratic moments in recent history.
So yes, guilty as charged. But guilty no more. I will speak out loudly, clearly, with great intellectual vigor and will add my voice to those being counted toward a hopeful Democratic end to this crisis.

As most of us would presume, Chicago is best visited in Spring or Summer due to its cold/freezing weather during winter season. I traveled to Chicago from Los Angeles after the new year’s weekend. To my luck, the north east was being bombarded with snow storms for weeks prior. However, my trip was planned beforehand and I had no choice but to go ahead with it. 3 nights and 4 days in the windy city – here’s how it went!
My wife and I arrived around 2 pm from LAX to O’hare through American Airlines (Loved the new livery and service). We like to travel light and avoid checking any baggage so we were through pretty quick. Our hotel was about a 10 minute drive so we decided to catch an Uber. Curiosity of peaking through the doors to check the cold weather was there, but we held ourselves back because we weren’t fully ‘guarded’ with jackets and ear muffs etc. But.. what can I say, wife wanted to check, so we both ended up stepping outside for like… umm.. 10 seconds and we came back inside the terminal. I spoke to my uber driver and told him our exact position so we wouldn’t have to wait. Off we went to our hotel.
The weather … at night
We decided to take a stroll outside our hotel to experience what everyone had talked about – the shredded snowflakes, the whiff of freezing wind. Even though we had prepared ourselves for this cold but we could not stand or walk for more than a minute. But we are stubborn, we are adventurous, we moved on, we kept walking! I kept asking myself how do people cope with this kind of weather on daily basis? I have never felt so blessed to be from California.
It is unlike any other. Ok, that’s very generic but yes, it is unlike LA or San Francisco or even the big apple to be fair. The windy city has its own vibe and sensation. The feeling of being in the center makes you feel alive, makes you feel unstoppable. As tourist, I felt like I could spend an entire day by the Cloud gate and wouldn’t get tired or just stroll along the millennium park for miles or the navy pier. Every corner has a story filled with rich history. I absolutely LOVED every bit of it.
Every city and has a unique taste and distinctive variety of eateries. Chicago is one of them. One of the most famous is the Chicago-Style deep dish pizza. It is specially baked in a deep pan which gives it plenty of space in between to be filled with cheese, cheese and more cheese. Giodarno is one of the places that makes this pizza, however if you are a Chicago native, you may know a ton of other small places that sell this pizza. It is however a MUST try!
Things to do
Get a cityPass if you have time to explore the city! but if you are limited on time, then you must try the following:
- Willis Tower
- Millennium Park
- Cloud Gate
- Navy Pier
- Shedd Aquarium
- Adler Planetarium
- Art institute of Chicago
- Museum of Science and History
- and much more!

UN commission for Western Asia opens annual session in Beirut
“This 22nd session of the Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia [ESCWA], takes place against a backdrop of turmoil and uncertainty, said the Secretary-General in a message delivered on his behalf today in Beirut by Mervat Tallawy, the group’s Executive Secretary.
“Indeed over the years, the consequences of war and civil strife have diverted the resources and energies of many ESCWA members away from their development objectives, and those of ESCWA itself away from its intended role,” he warned, adding that instead of helping the region to reap the fruits of peace and the dividends of development, ESCWA has often had to contend with addressing the aftermath of war.
Noting the timeliness of ESCWA’s decision to examine the effects of instability on socio-economic development in the region, Mr. Annan urged the group to go beyond assessing the devastating toll that conflict and instability take on a country's human, physical and financial resources, and beyond addressing post-conflict reconstruction and rehabilitation.
“I hope you will discuss ways to explore the root causes of conflict, which is the only way to build the foundations of enduring peace,” he said, “For the roots of conflict often lie in questions of governance, inequitable socio-economic development and uneven distribution of resources. It is here that the role of the United Nations, including that of ESCWA, can be especially valuable.”
In her own statement, Ms. Tallawy said that ESCWA had begun its four-day session on the region’s economic progress, at a time when “a dark cloud is covering the whole world, and the Arab region in particular.”
Ms. Tallawy said that the previous 1990-91 Gulf War in Iraq had been directly responsible for losses amounting to some $600 billion, while it is expected that, as a result of the current war against Iraq, those losses could increase to a trillion dollars. She added that between four and five million job opportunities had been lost following the previous Gulf War, a figure expected to rise to six to seven million jobs lost as a result of the current war.

Kourtney K Has 1 Major Rule For Her Kids When They Go To Disneyland
When she's not filming KUWTK, posing on the red carpet, or modeling for a photoshoot, Kourtney Kardashian loves spending time with her three kids, Mason, Penelope, and Reign. The family loves taking vacations together, and it seems one of their favorite places to visit is none other than Disneyland. Instead of having a list of rules for her kids to follow at Disney, the star only wants them to know one thing. And, believe me, Kourtney Kardashian's one rule for her kids at Disneyland will surprise you.
Speaking to Health magazine, Kourtney opened up about her passion for health and wellness. "In my house, we are gluten and dairy-free," she began. "My skin is very sensitive, and if I eat dairy, it affects it."
While Kourtney said she would "never" open a can of soda, there are some ways she spoils herself. "My mom has a good pantry in Palm Springs filled with Cheetos and Oreos and lots of junk foods. I definitely treat myself. And [recently] Kim and I did a road trip, and we stopped at a gas station and raided it [with] Funyuns, mini doughnuts, Chex Mix," she revealed.
Kourtney made it clear she doesn't "force" her kids to follow any eating habits, but she does try to teach them about moderation. However, that rule doesn't apply when it comes to visiting Disneyland. "When we go to Disneyland, we eat whatever; we’re not bringing our own snacks," she said.
This may surprise fans, as Kourtney has been very vocal about keeping her kids away from sweets in the past — even at their birthday parties.
In a November 2019 episode of KUWTK, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian actually had an argument over whether to give their kids candy at North and Penelope's joint birthday party.
"I'm trying to do it somewhat healthy," Kourtney offered.
"It's Candy Land, Kourtney! It's not gonna be healthy," Kim snapped back.
"It's not gonna be healthy, no matter what. Sugar's not healthy. But, I'm saying, let's not do the nasty stuff with food coloring and all, like, gross sh*t," Kourtney explained.
Watch the sisters' disagreement below.
It seems Kourtney saves the sweets for very special occasions only, and visiting Disneyland is one of those exceptions.

Washington DC – Congressman Evan Jenkins, a Republican representing West Virginia’s Third District, says he is reviewing the American Health Care Act that has been introduced.
“I am carefully reading and reviewing this bill to make sure it meets the needs of West Virginians, which includes empowering families to make their own healthcare choices, protecting patients with pre-existing conditions, and ensuring access to care for low-income individuals,” Jenkins said.
“We must make sure people are protected with a reasonable transition period and that patients and doctors have time to choose the plans that work for them. Americans deserve access to health care that is truly affordable, allows them to make choices that fit their needs, and keeps Washington out of the doctor-patient relationship – all of which Obamacare has failed to deliver,” the Congressman continued.
Jenkins concluded, “As we go through this open and transparent process, I am fully committed to reforming our healthcare system to empower patients, lower costs, and make health insurance affordable.”

The book was translated from the original German into English at breakneck speed and sent to Britain, while its author had to flee from the approaching Nazis.

Darkness at Noon, he left the vibrant intellectual culture of 1940s London to set up home in a drastically remote cottage in North Wales. First of all, with the help of numerous memoirs, he lets us look at the writer through other peoples eyes: an ambitious, how to improve education in pakistan essay adventurous, boisterous, courageous and often aggressive young man, perceived by a woman (Eva Striker) as romantic, charitable and loving and by a male. He had been to the North Pole, where he tasted his first dram of fame as the sole reporter on the. The book that Koestler wrote apart about this, Spanish Testament, has remarkable passages, but apart from the scrappiness that is usual in a book of reportage, it is definitely false in places. It may not have been as enticing a proposition for Orwell had Koestler not already thought ahead. At this point it was not just Koestler, but a number of American and European ex-communists - Sidney Hook, Ignazio Silone, Franz Borkenau and others - who felt the urgent need for a counter-attack, and their efforts led to the creation of the Congress for. Nothing is in sight except a welter of lies, hatred, cruelty and ignorance, and beyond our present troubles loom vaster ones which are only now entering into the European consciousness. Taking the decision to join the Communist party took Koestler about a year. To say that I was horrified by this book is an understatement. It opened with the assertion that, while liberty without social security is valueless, it has been forgotten that without liberty there can be no security. Trapped within the conventional notions of left- right, communism - anticommunism, anti-Russian - anti-American, most western intellectuals failed to grasp what started happening after the collapse of the Soviet Union and missed the revival of old totalitarian ways in new incarnations. Feeling like a Cassandra whose predictions fell on deaf ears, Koestler could only try yet again to explain what he meant by writing a series of essays: Anatomy of a Myth, Soviet Myth and Reality and The End of an Illusion, which were published.

Dr-Fix-It Defines Power. The Definition of Work and Power
The Definitions of Work and Power in the English and Metric Systems. Dr-Fix-It Defines the Term Power and provides practical examples as well as rules of thumb.
Work is done by applying a constant force to an object, thus moving it. If a Pound of force is needed to move an object one Foot, the work done is one Foot-Pound of work. Similarly, in the Metric System, A Newton-Meter (Also called a Joule) of work is performed by applying a constant force of one newton which moves a body a distance of one meter.
Time is not involved in the definition of work. The amount of work performed is the same, say, in lifting a weight a specific vertical height regardless if the action of the lifting takes a minute or an hour. However, the amount of time needed to perform that lifting work leads to the concept of POWER.
The measurement of power, then, involves a description of the work as a ratio to the time it took to perform. This is a scientific definition of what most people understand instinctively: One needs more "power" to go faster or to do more in the same amount of time.
In the British system, the unit of power is, simply, the Foot-Pound/Second (Work divided by Time). In the Metric System, a Newton-Meter/Second (Work divided by Time) is also called Joule/Second or most familiarly, a Watt.
Both the Foot-Pound/Second and the Watt are quite small units of power. Larger units of work are more commonly used. In the British system, a Horsepower is defined as 33000 Foot-Pounds of work in performed in one Minute (the same as 550 Foot-Pounds per Second) . In the Metric System, a Kilowatt is simply 1000 watts.
By just converting Pounds to Newtons (Force)and Feet To Meters(Distance) it can be easily calculated that:
A good rule of thumb is that 1 Horsepower is about 3/4 of a Kilowatt.
So What? It turns out to be handy when one can apply a form of Ohm's Law:
As an example, we can now see that a Horsepower motor plugged into a 120 Volt circuit would (ideally) draw:
In reality, the motor will draw a little more current than 6.22 Amps because of heat loss and other natural inefficiencies. Usually motors are within the 75% to 90 % efficiency range so, in the shop, the above motor would probably really pull about 6.22 amps / .75 (efficiency estimate) = 8.29 Amps.
Nameplate missing on a motor? Need to know what size it is? Measure Amps, Volts and do the math!
KiloWattHour = 1000 Watts x 3600 Seconds
=1000(Newton Meter / second) x 3600 seconds
=1000 x 3600 Newton Meter
= 3,600,000 Newton Meters (Joules)
The best name for an electric utility should be a "Joule Company" or a "Newton Meter Company" or a "Foot Pound Company"

I bought this device to make the Silent partner's deceleration a little more gentle as it really can kick you to an abrupt stop. I have 2 meters of 10.2 blue water threaded through all 6 holes with the loop at the smallest (top left) hole with a 20-30ft fall it'll pull about 5ft right through it... but really a nice cushiony stop. If you climb alone you have to have a silent partner and the Kong shock absorber... really the best!!!

Many people fail to realize or understand that substance abuse is a disease. It becomes a lifelong battle and it is almost impossible to win the battle alone. Over 22 million Americans are afflicted with substance abuse disorder. There are over 370 overdose-related deaths each and every day just in the United States alone.
These are not statistics. These are the sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters of everyone around us. This disease doesn’t discriminate based on gender, ethnicity, economic standing, or where you live. It affects everyone and has been steadily consuming an entire generation at an alarming rate over the past decade. Silence is the insidious ally of addiction. We all must break the silence, recognize the disease for what is, end the stigma, and support those affected, so that they can return home to us, back from the abyss.
As a nation, we’ve been slow to respond to this public health crisis. It reached near epidemic proportions before it took public notice. We now have a lot of work to do to stem the tide. Considering the amount of people affected, the number of treatment and recovery programs that are available to deal with this population is woefully inadequate.
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization, the goal and mission of the CCB Foundation is to provide financial support to quality, success-based, small non-profit treatment and recovery centers and to foster the development of new centers so that anyone seeking treatment and life-long recovery is not denied due to the lack of available space and help.


2013-2018 Ford Escape 2.0 EcoBoost Passenger Side
JLT 3.0 Oil Separator
Solid billet construction.
Multi stage filter system designed to collect the finest of vapors and drop them into the easily removable bottom while allowing clean air to pass through to the intake.
How does it work?
During the process of venting crankcase pressure back through your intake track, large amounts of oil, in the form of vapors can gather/accumulate in your intake tube, intake manifold runners and even dilute your gas, lowering its octane level. This happens in all engines and is even worse with forced inducted vehicles (supercharged and turbocharged) as crankcase pressures are increased. To combat this, we have developed an oil separator of our own design. Milled from solid billet aluminum this is a rock solid piece. It has a knurled tank base for easy removal to drain the spent oil and an O-ring seal to prevent any leaks.
Filtering consists of a fine mesh stainless steel screen that traps fine oil vapors and releases them once heavy enough to fall. They then pass through a 1/2" thick 1/16th" aluminum honeycomb filter where they grow every larger and then fall into the bottom. By the time the oil gets through the filter it's too heavy to be passed on into the intake. The tank holds 3 oz of fluid, while that may not sound like a lot, you shouldn’t see that much oil in your PCV system. Drain it every 2000-3000 miles and you will never come close to filling it.
Our kits are easy install, service and flat out work! Many kits use OEM hoses or come complete with all hoses, custom brackets and hardware for an OEM look. Retain stock hose if you ever return to stock.

This is the perfect setup for my 2017 Escape 2.0L! Installation is a breeze, and the quality of the materials is unmatched. The system is certainly doing its job and I’m pleased with the results. Would recommend!
Much harder to install than video & instructions. Had to come in from drivers side & cut pvc hose off. Several additional covers involved & hoses + wiring harnesses run way different than instructions.
Fairly difficult to install on Ford Escape having to practically remove intake manifold to get to PVC hose at block. The catch can looks and seems to work quite well. Also installed One on my ecoboost explorer
Wife has a 2016 Esacpe Titanium with the 2.0L. Has just shy of 25,000 miles, and I want to keep the valves as clean as possible. Everyone knows boosted engines push oil so I'm glad to see your product at an affordable price. Install was straight forward and only took about a 1/2 hour. I also like the compact size.

Home-grown technology just down the road in Essex County
Knowledge transference: From cars to greenhouses
August 15, 2022 By Fred Groves
In the spring of 2022, Highway 3 which stretches from Windsor to Leamington, Ontario, was undergoing a transformation.
The transportation causeway, which enables greenhouse growers to easily access the Ambassador Bridge, opening the gate to United States marketplaces, was expanding.
Between the two points there is a glaring opportunity that, to date has not been utilized and one, which local greenhouse operators hope to tap into in the very near future.
Windsor and Essex County have, for decades, produced some of the finest vehicles in the world and with that comes a remarkable amount of technological know-how.
An interesting question is beginning to bubble to the surface in the region – if innovative technology is available to make cars and trucks, why can’t that knowledge be transferred to the greenhouse sector and build necessary automation systems?
“It’s not for a lack of desire or will to make this a reality. It takes time,” says Aaron Coristine, Manager: Science, Regulatory Affairs and Government Relations for the Ontario Greenhouse Vegetable Growers, based out of Leamington, Ontario.
Growers in the area have always looked outside of North America to provide the necessary technology to automate irrigation, ventilation, cooling and heating and Coristine and the OGVG seem confident that the resources to research and develop and build what they need is just down the road.
He says the idea has been explored and that, “the question has been asked on both sides. There is a mutual interest to collaborate and create something,” he adds.
“The Netherlands are wonderful at what they do. They are pioneers in their own right. They are technology geniuses, but we have technology geniuses here,” says Coristine.
He says that local greenhouse operators want to partner with local manufacturers especially with resources in the immediate area.
Bridging the gap between the agriculture and automotive sectors is in the future it seems, but not just yet.
Connecting the two – automotive technology specialists and greenhouse operators, has got the attention of WE Tech Alliance, a think tank of sorts that specializes in bringing partners together not only in the Southwest Ontario region but globally. It is one of the groups that are looking into bringing the automotive and agriculture sectors together.
According to WE Tech Alliance Director of Venture Services Adam Castle, the fact that more and more vehicles are going electric and less parts are being made in Windsor-Essex, could be a factor in whether or not automotive manufacturers and greenhouse operators begin to form working partnerships.
“Our manufacturers have not been traditionally asking, how do we get into this (agriculture) sector,” said Castle.
And while greenhouse growers continue to get their automation technology primarily in the European markets, that does not mean they aren’t open to the possibilities.
“To move an industry from buying imported goods to a domestic good is not a quick process. So, what we are doing is identifying the greenhouse growers we have good relationships with,” notes Castle.
Perhaps the biggest obstacle that greenhouse operators in Windsor-Essex face is that since they are constructing new operations at a quick pace, the time to redefine how they do things is nearly impossible and as Castle points out, “if it’s not broke, why fix it.”
“I think you will see a whole lot more of it in five years and ten years even greater numbers,” he said of utilizing home-grown technology. “There is a lot we have to get right in terms of mechanism.”
One of those is bringing as many players to the table as possible.
On May 11, WE Tech Alliance invited Niagara College’s Greenhouse Technology Network to a round-table discussion that was hopefully expected to attract both greenhouse operators as well as automotive manufacturers.
Greenhouse Technology Network, according to its website is, ‘a network of research-focused centre that collaborate small-and-medium sized organizations to advance the development, adoption and implementation of technologies to support the greenhouse industry.
Rita Sterne is the Project Manager for GTN and says that her group is not really concerned with what the crop may be, as long as it is undercover.
“We look at greenhouses and related technology. With funding from the federal government, we are able to work with small businesses that face some kind of a greenhouse related technology challenge,” she said.
“We understand that the greenhouse space needs this technology and the advancements.”
What those advancements seem to be locally anyway, is, as Adam Castle from WE Tech Alliance points out, is having the technological know-how come from the area.
“Solving the technological challenges is a mountain but we know we can do it and it takes time,” says Sterne.
One of the local tech companies that WE Tech Alliance encourages to work with local greenhouse operators is Windsor’s Splice Digital.
According to President and Founder Brian Hendel, Splice Digital designs custom web technology to serve the needs of a number of businesses both in the United States and Canada, including greenhouse operators in the Leamington-Kingsville region.
When it first started exploring the possibility, Hendel says, “what’s here that we can look at as a business opportunity? We started to talk to OMAFRA (Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs), and the local greenhouse industry.”
After reaching out to the local greenhouse operators and finding out what their needs were, Hendel said that there was what he refers to as a ‘gaping hole’, in IPM (Integrated Pest Management) software systems.
“Because Leamington is only a few minutes away, we started making connections out there and said we want to talk to you and possibly solve the problem.”
Admittingly, Hendel said Splice Digital did not have a lot of knowledge about IPM, however, through local operators were able to get up to speed quickly, created what it calls Scotech. He said several large operations are now using their systems.
“We saw the need locally, but they are comparing our product against the Netherlands products.”
For three or four generations, local greenhouse operators have relied on technology outside of Canada and Hendel admits that ,“there is still a bias with the growers in that the Dutch do it better.”
However, and what WE Tech Alliance believes strongly in, is that the know how to develop technology locally is in the future.
“Fortunately for the region we have strong manufacturing talent that produces automation systems that are better than what some of the greenhouses are thinking,” said Hendel.
And as far as what’s ahead for Splice Digital, the company founder and president is certain that Canada can be a tech leader within the greenhouse sector.
“We are pushing hard. We are going to the Netherlands, and we are trying to penetrate globally. It’s a matter of getting the word out,” said Hendel.
Another company that is on the cutting edge of being able to provide local greenhouses what they need is Durobyte Inc.
Branding itself as being able to develop custom automation machines, Durobyte Inc can build high technology products from the initial concept, through to design and right to the actual manufacturing.
Durobyte Inc Business Development Manager Patrick Thompson says they are working on a water jet system that can decap mushrooms and destem peppers.
“It’s one thing that we can do it, but we have to get their trust. We are not the only one doing it.”
Interesting about Durobyte is that they have a test facility and are able to invite greenhouse operators in to see, firsthand, what they can do locally.
Asked why the local greenhouse industry continues to get their technology outside of Canada, Thompson is quick to note, “everybody trusts the equipment from overseas and with trust comes purchase.”

The beer industry is responsible for generating a lot of carbon dioxide but BrewDog are on a path to change that. We caught up with their top dog in Australia to talk about carbon offset plans as they mark one year here.
Moon Dog World has attracted plenty of attention – and for good reason. There's another good reason to pay attention to the building too, as they've installed so many solar panels they're almost regarded as a power station.
Breweries produce a lot of wastewater, so what if they could use it in beneficial ways, such as creating heat or power for their brewery? Sydney-based tech startup switcH2 aims to help them do just that.
On September 20, people across the planet will join young campaigners for #ClimateStrike. The Crafty Pint will be one of the local beer businesses taking part and hope more people in the Aussie beer world will join us.
What would it take for breweries to go plastic free in their tap rooms? Not much, apparently. We spoke to Surfrider to see how they've helped some of Australia's biggest craft brewers say no to single-use plastic.
They've been mates since they were 12 and have brewed together for years. Now Simon Cooke and Ryan Carville are looking to change the NZ brewing industry via Froth Technologies.
As part of their mission to inspire change, young Sydney brewery One Drop have designed unique environmentally friendly packaging for their cans. Marie Claire Jarratt got in touch to find out more.
When Scott Shomer designed Helios Brewing in Brisbane with his business partners, the aim was to produce the most energy efficient brewery he could. Under the SolaBrew banner, he's keen to help other brewery owners do the same.
Brewing beer is intensive in many ways, from the amount of energy required to the use of water. Hannah Louise Grugel caught up with the team at Batch to find out how they're working to be a more sustainable brewery.
In an article on the business of beer, an expert raised the issue of government grants and how few breweries were taking advantage. Here, a specialist on cutting the cost of business explains just how easy it could be for brewers to cash in.
